Lin Zhenhua is not wrong, Xihu Company is indeed in huge trouble. The Templar Church was not faced by the Sihu Company alone, but spread to the whole of Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries, and this was the last global financial crisis of the 20th century, the Asian Financial Crisis. China was able to escape the crisis by introducing macroeconomic policies such as massive monetary tightening and real estate curtailment two years ahead of schedule.

"The company's finances are in a very bad shape." Osawa Hiroshi, chairman of Xihu Company, sat on the chair of the conference room with a gloomy face, and said to the executives attending the meeting:

"Since the beginning of the previous year, the company's sales have declined significantly, and some traditional customers have also fallen into the hands of competitors. Among them, especially China's Hanhua Heavy Industries and Xingbei Heavy Machinery, the products have a lot of overlap with us, and they have been competing with us for customers. In order to win customers, they even did not hesitate to significantly lower prices, according to Matsushita-kun's calculations, at such prices, the two Chinese companies could not be profitable, which is a crazy competitive method. ”

"Yes, that's how the Chinese do it!" The executives shouted, a look of righteous indignation on their faces. They seem to have forgotten that in fact, selling at a lower price in an attempt to bring down competitors is exactly what Sihu is used to. If it weren't for the fact that the cost of Chinese companies is too low, Xihu Company would definitely repeat the old trick and throw a lot of money into it to fight to the death with several companies such as Hanhua and Xingbei.

"In addition to the Chinese market, our markets in Southeast Asia, South America and Africa are also being oppressed by Chinese companies. Here, I would like to mention a salesperson from our Japan named Yoshio Saji. He turned out to be the sales director of Nihon Heavy Industries, and after Nihong Heavy Industries went bankrupt, he was acquired by Hanhua Heavy Industries, and Zuozhi Yoshio became the overseas sales representative of Hanhua Heavy Industries.

It is he who, on behalf of Hanhua Heavy Industries, worked hardest to compete for overseas markets with our Xihu Company, and has successively snatched away more than a dozen of our traditional large customers, causing huge losses to our overseas business. (《)" Osawa continued.

"I've had some dealings with Zuo Zhijun, and he ......," Matsushita Eizo, the sales director in China, was about to speak, and he felt that some words were really difficult to say.

"Matsushita-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Matsushita Yongsan said with a wry smile: "He once told me that his greatest hope is to see the scene where our Xihu company is crushed by Hanhua Heavy Industries. ”

"Why? Could it be that he is a day traitor! The crowd was stunned.

As a Japanese, it is not a big rebellion to serve Chinese enterprises, because after all, it is an era of internationalization, and Xihu has a large number of foreign employees in branches around the world, so no one will feel incomprehensible or unacceptable that Zuozhi Yoshio does things for Hanhua Heavy Industries.

But it is too much for a Japanese to stand so firmly in the shoes of the Chinese and to crush Japanese companies on behalf of their employers, which seems to go beyond the duty of an employee and carry some hatred. The question is, why does Yoshio Saji hate Japanese companies?

"It's a long story." Matsushita Yongzo said, "When Zuo Zhijun was originally in Nihon Heavy Industries, Nihon Heavy Industries was also subject to competition from Chinese companies, and this company was Hanhua Heavy Industries. At that time, Nihon Heavy Industries was facing a situation somewhat similar to ours, which was also at a cost disadvantage and could not resist the competitive pressure from Hanhua Heavy Industries. At that time, Zuo Zhijun once made a request to our Xihu Company, asking us not to provide some key equipment to Hanhua Heavy Industries, so as to help Nihon Heavy Industries maintain its competitive advantage. However, this request was rejected by us. The executives pouted disapprovingly and said, "It's not our fault, we, as equipment manufacturers, can supply equipment to whomever we want." In the latest chapter of the Holy Church, Nihon Heavy Industries should rely on its own strength to compete with the Chinese, rather than let us suffer losses, so this matter cannot be blamed on us at all. ”

Matsushita Eizo nodded and said, "After the bankruptcy of Nihon Heavy Industries, its chairman, Mr. Akira Ishikawa, committed suicide. It is said that before Akira Ishikawa committed suicide, he once said a sentence......"

"What?"

"And he said, 'You will regret it.'

"Who will regret it?" The crowd didn't react for a while.

Matsushita Eizo lowered his head, pretending not to hear everyone's doubts, about who should regret the question, he didn't want to explain, he believed that everyone could understand.

Sure enough, after everyone was slightly stunned, they couldn't help but shudder, they knew who Ishikawa was referring to. But isn't it, after Hanhua Heavy Industries ate Nihon Heavy Industries, its power increased greatly, and as soon as it turned around, it aimed its blood at Xihu Company.

Everyone couldn't help but think that if Nihon Heavy Industries was still there, maybe Xihu's situation would not be so embarrassing, right? Many large professional equipment manufacturers such as Nihon Heavy Industries are big customers of Xihu Company, and if these large customers can support Xihu Company, then they can offset the pressure of Hanhua to a large extent. Now, things are reversed, Nihon Heavy Industries has become a subsidiary of Hanhua, and the equipment it needs must be ordered from Hanhua Machine Tool Company, and it will use its own profits to support Hanhua's competition with Xihu Company.

Between this one in and one out, the balance of power tilted in favor of Hanhua.

The initiator, what is the aftermath? If we can do it all over again, maybe Xihu will accept the request of Nihon Heavy Industries and join forces with Nihon Heavy Industries to strangle Hanhua Heavy Industries, which is still in its infancy, in the cradle.

Akira Ishikawa is right, Xihu Company is already regretting, but there is no regret medicine to sell in this world.

"Matsushita-kun, are you saying that it is for this reason that Yoshio Zuoji became angry with Xihu Company, so he spared no effort to help Hanhua Heavy Industries crush us?" Osawa asked.

Matsushita Eizo nodded and said, "I think there should be a factor in this." I discussed this issue privately with Zuo Zhijun, and he said that we Japanese people are too proud and selfish, and we no longer have the patriotism we used to have. If one day, Japan's economy collapses and it becomes a vassal of China, it will also be Amaterasu's punishment for the Japanese, and this is a curse that he is powerless to change. ”

"Baga!" The old director, Zuo Teng Changsheng, was furious and said, "This Zuo Zhi Yoshio is really a shame for us Japanese!" He was able to say such words that would increase the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition, was he no longer a member of the Yamato nation? ”。

"Forget it, don't pay attention to this bastard, let's discuss how to face the crisis in front of us." With a lazy wave of his hand, Osawa interrupted the conversation about Yoshio Saji. He really didn't want to dwell on this topic.

In fact, Osawa is very clear that Yoshio Saji's words are reasonable, and that today's Japanese people no longer have the same sense of crisis and patriotism that they have had since the Meiji Restoration.

This selfishness is especially evident in every natural disaster. In the face of an earthquake or tsunami, everyone is just concerned about fleeing for their lives with their belongings, and few people care about their neighbors or communities. In the shelter, everyone used the cardboard they could find to isolate the area allocated to them, without even checking to see if there were any elderly people, women or children in need of care. The same is true of the behavior of companies, including Osawa himself, who is not willing to suffer losses for the benefit of other Japanese companies. In fact, in that year, not only Yoshio Saji went to find Matsushita Eizo, but Ishikawa Akira also personally visited Osawa himself, and he was very eager to hope that Xihu Company could implement some necessary sales restrictions on Hanhua Heavy Industries, so as to maintain the technical advantages of Nihon Heavy Industries for a longer period of time.

At that time, Osawahiko rejected Akira Ishikawa's request in a very professional and official tone, and today I think about it, this may have been the last straw that crushed Nihon Heavy Industries. The news of Akira Ishikawa's suicide shocked Osawahiko, but it wasn't until Xihu was facing the same predicament as Nihon Heavy Industries that Osawa truly understood Akira Ishikawa's grief.

The Chinese are currently engaged in a war to revitalize the entire national economy, and the news brought back by Matsushita Eizo shows that Chinese entrepreneurs have shouted slogans such as "Build our new Great Wall", and this kind of slogan, whether it is for show or truth, it at least exists in China's public opinion environment.

The Chinese government is more active on this issue, and they have launched a number of large-scale programs, such as 863, 973, Xinghuo, and Torch, from aerospace engineering to needles and threads, to attack every field, and the power brought by this national system is very terrifying.

At the same time, Japan has stopped, politicians are busy campaigning, young people are addicted to anime and pornographic films, and more and more businesses are shifting their money and energy to finance. The hollowing out of manufacturing is intensifying, and the industries that once supported Japan's rise from the post-war slump, such as clothing, home appliances, and toys, have been gradually replaced by the Asian Tigers, and now to China.

Without the support of the downstream industry, the decline of the upstream equipment manufacturing industry is only a matter of time.

Osawa shook his head, threw out the decadent emotions in his mind, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, the technical strength of our Xihu company is still beyond the reach of the Chinese. As long as we can effectively organize production and sales, and regain traditional customers, we will definitely be able to win the final victory in this competition. Now, I would like to ask you to express your views on how our company responds to competition. ”……，
