438 Collapse of the Soviet Union
The plan proposed by Yang Wenjun is indeed a good way to transfer flowers and trees. The personnel sent by the Japanese government to inspect the equipment are also unlikely to be too professional, so it is unlikely that the equipment has been transferred. In addition, the Japanese government actually turned a blind eye to such a thing as the Batumi embargo, otherwise there would have been no so-called Toshiba incident in which five-axis machining machine tools were exported to the Soviet Union. As long as Hanhua does a good job of secrecy, and the imitation machine tool can be made to look like a god, I believe that things will not be a goof.
Yang Wenjun reacted very quickly in this matter, which also made Lin Zhenhua a little impressed with him. Playing this kind of package adjustment scheme, in fact, others can think of it, but there are probably not many people like Yang Wenjun who can think of this almost without thinking. Lin Zhenhua sighed at the shrewdness of this young man, and secretly had two thoughts in his heart: first, the positioning of Yang Wenjun should not be limited to a senior technician, but let him take on some management or marketing work; The second is that Yang Wenjun should be a little vigilant, this kid has too many ghost eyes, don't let him hurt the interests of the company.
According to Yang Wenjun's plan, Lin Zhenhua immediately adjusted the relocation schedule of the Nihon factory in Kyushu. According to the original plan, the two factories should be dismantled in the shortest possible time and shipped back to China to be rebuilt. Now, he has to slow down the process to allow time to counterfeit and replace the embargoed machines. At the same time, the replaced machine tool parts must also be mixed with other equipment in order to leave the country smoothly.
"Mr. Lin, in this way, you will have to bear a lot of losses." Chang Qingbo couldn't help but say apologetically when he heard Lin Zhenhua's arrangement. Everyone understands that you can see at a glance how wasteful it is to leave these devices in Japan. The process of imitating machine tools is very long, at least more than half a year, which means that other equipment will be delayed for more than half a year before it can be put into production.
Lin Zhenhua waved his hand: "Director Chang, let's not talk to each other as a family." In fact, the development of our Hanhua has also received a lot of help from your navy, and our earliest five-blade fan and waterfall washing machine were all designed by you for us? These two products have always been the main force of our export earnings. ”
"Civil-military cooperation, that's how it should be." Chang Qingbo said proudly that the design of the waterfall washing machine was completed by his research laboratory, which is also one of his proud works.
After arranging these things, Lin Zhenhua then went to the two Nihon factories in Fukui and Tsuruoka.
The two factories were not relocated, but some adjustments were made to the original workers, and those with poor quality were unceremoniously dismissed. What Lin Zhenhua can do is to be a little more generous in terms of compensation, so that these laid-off Japanese workers will not be too embarrassed to live in a short period of time, and whether they can find new jobs in the future is not a problem for Lin Zhenhua to consider.
GCA Heavy Industries sent a group of managers to serve as the directors of the two factories and the heads of key departments. The former Japanese managers in the factory took up the positions of deputy in each department. Among them, Jiro Koizumi, who had a lot of grievances with Hanhua, was also reused and served as the deputy director of one of the factories.
When announcing the appointment, Hayashi Zhenhua told Jiro Koizumi in a serious tone that this was Chairman Ishikawa's posthumous entrustment and hoped that he would not live up to Chairman Ishikawa's trust. In the subsequent labor conflicts between Japanese employees and Chinese bosses, Jiro Koizumi stood firmly on the side of the factory and served as an honorable Japanese traitor.
Objectively speaking, the process of Hanhua Heavy Industries' acquisition of Nihon Heavy Industries has been relatively smooth among all overseas mergers and acquisitions. As Japan as a whole is in a period of financial crisis, the government is still very supportive of foreign companies willing to take over domestic enterprises that are on the verge of bankruptcy, and in many ways have given the green light, reducing the friction between Hanhua Heavy Industries and the government. On the worker side, fearing that they would lose their jobs if the factory went bankrupt, many workers also opted for a cooperative attitude, and there was no strong factory resistance as in other mergers and acquisitions.
Rao is like this, the whole process of digesting Nihon Heavy Industry also took more than half a year. During this time, Lin Zhenhua, Xiang Zhe, Fang Yanwu and others frequently shuttled between China and Japan, and spent millions on air tickets alone. This money is not a lot of money compared to the investment in the acquisition of Nihon Heavy Industries, but the energy of these executives is much greater than the economic cost. In order to let the old leaders open up foreign meat, Lin Zhenhua also specially organized retired Xie Chunyan, Zhu Tiejun, Chen Weiguo, Liang Guangping and others, organized an advisory group, and went to Japan to inspect it, which can be regarded as a benefit he seeks for the old people.
In the summer of '92, the restructuring of Nihon Heavy Industries was basically over. The factories in Fukui and Tsuruoka have been reopened, and the Nyon Research Institute has also come up with a lot of new designs, so that the product line of Hanhua Chemical Equipment Company has been extended to the fields of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
Zuozhi Yoshio, Chu Hongyang, Schumann and others turned from enemies to teammates and continued to sweep the global market. In terms of professional knowledge of chemical equipment and international trade rules, he can be called the teacher of Chu Hongyang and others. Chu Hongyang's marketing team has jumped to a new level after being joined by Japanese marketers such as Yoshio Zuo.
It was also during this time that a major event occurred.
At the end of 1991, on the eve of the 69th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Union, the Soviet flag painted with a sickle and hammer on the top of the Kremlin was lowered, and a red, blue and white Russian flag was raised on the flagpole. This marked the complete disintegration of the world's first socialist state, and the once-formidable Soviet Union became a historical term.
The collapse of the Soviet Union had serious implications for the global political, economic, and military landscape. Europe, which had long been threatened by the Soviet Union's military threat, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after drinking champagne to celebrate victory, the dignitaries of various countries invariably thought of a question: Since the Soviet Union is no longer there, does Europe still need the protection of the United States? With this in mind, Europe has accelerated the integration process that had already begun. Two years later, a European Union was formally established to compete with the United States in the international arena.
The collapse of the Soviet Union ended the pattern of hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II, and Russia, which inherited the mantle of the former Soviet Union after the collapse, was unable to compete with the United States and had to give up its sphere of influence around the world. For a time, many client states of the former Soviet Union became motherless children, and the forces of the European and American powers as well as their own opposition forces attacked one after another, causing a lot of political turmoil.
The United States benefited the most from the collapse of the Soviet Union. The disintegration of the Soviet Union turned the world from a two-power pattern into a monopoly of the United States, and the United States sat firmly on the position of the world's leader, and began to clean up whoever it wanted, and others could only listen obediently to whomever it wanted. Such a state of seeking defeat alone has enabled the United States to begin a period of more than 10 years of ostentatious and domineering, offending all interest groups in the world, and at the same time accumulating a huge foreign debt of more than 10 trillion US dollars. If someone were to write the history of the world today in 100 years, I am afraid that the collapse of the Soviet Union would be counted as the decline of the United States.
The impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union on China cannot be ignored. On the one hand, the collapse of the Soviet Union reduced China from a potential threat and freed up its hands for economic construction. On the other hand, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, China became the only socialist power in the world, and the main battlefield of the confrontation between the East and the West shifted from the United States and the Soviet Union to China and the United States, and China became the most important imaginary enemy of the United States.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was sudden, and not only caught its neighbors by surprise, but even within the Soviet Union, it was a state of chaos. In real history, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's national economy suffered a decade-long recession, and by 2000, its total GDP was only half of what it was before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The social order was completely broken, and under the conditions of no supervision, the original bureaucracy was transformed into a capital group, and began to frantically seize the former state-owned assets. The government, which used to be everything from the cradle to the grave, has become an ornament overnight, and can no longer assume the functions of social security and social welfare, and many cities have experienced such terrible social problems as water and electricity outages, and the inability to guarantee heating in winter.
In the troubled times, the most painful people are naturally the common people. Many factories were shut down, and society was flooded with unemployed workers who had nothing to do. The ruble began to depreciate massively, prices skyrocketed by more than 5,000 times, and in the 10 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, life expectancy in Russia fell by 4 years, from 69 to 65 years. Due to serious problems such as alcoholism, the life expectancy of Russian men has dropped to only 60 years, almost equivalent to the level of some poor countries.
The collapse of the Soviet Union undoubtedly became the most serious political disaster for human society in the 20 th century.
The drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries have given a strong shock to China's political and military circles, and various government departments and academic institutions have held seminars one after another to discuss the enlightenment, lessons, and countermeasures of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Almost every day in the newspaper, there are long and smelly analysis articles by brick families, or gloating, or distressed, or worried, in short, giving everyone another opportunity to chirp.
Lin Zhenhua was quite unimpressed by these arguments, as a traverser, he could see things far more profound than the bricks. What he is thinking about most now is how to take advantage of the vacuum period after the collapse of the Soviet Union to gain some benefits from the Soviet Union. You know, he was already laying out this matter six or seven years ago, and now it's time to close the net......
