Akira Ishikawa died, and like many other Japanese entrepreneurs during the financial crisis, he ended his life in loneliness.

This old man, who had experienced the hardest years of Japan's post-war era, in those years, when Japan was almost in ruins, and together with his predecessors, he ate dry and cold rice balls, and built an industrial empire with his bare hands that was enough to be proud of the world. Today, Japan is the world's second-largest country in terms of economic aggregate, with affluent lives and prosperous cities, and even if it goes bankrupt, it can still live a worry-free life. And he chose to end his life.

For their generation, struggling with hope is the greatest happiness in life, and even a life of fine clothes and food in despair is not enough for them to have a trace of nostalgia.

"Mr. Zuozhi, I am very sorry for this incident." Lin Zhenhua said gloomily to Zuo Zhi Yoshio.

There seemed to be no expression on Saji Yoshio's face, and he said in a low voice, "This result may be the best for Ishikawa-san." If I'm not mistaken, he had already said goodbye to his family when he left home today. ”

"Will Mr. Ishikawa's family have any difficulties after he leaves?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"Probably not."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Okay, Mr. Zuozhi, please visit Mr. Ishikawa's family often, if they are in difficulty, please tell me, I will give them some help in my personal name." ”

Yoshio Zuoji bowed to Lin Zhenhua and said, "Then I will thank Chairman Lin for Mrs. Ishikawa and his children." ”

"Also, please ask Mrs. Ishikawa for me, I want to make a bust of Mr. Ishikawa in front of the former Nihon headquarters in Tokyo, so that future generations will always remember the founder of Nihon Heavy Industries, and you ask her if she is allowed." Lin Zhenhua said again.

Zuo Zhi Yoshio looked at Lin Zhenhua with some astonishment, what he saw was a pair of sincere eyes. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you Chairman Lin, Chairman Lin's mind makes me feel admired." ”

Lin Zhenhua had this idea, but it was actually just a momentary impulse. Akira Ishikawa's suicide made him feel extremely shocked, and at the same time, he also had some self-blame. Although the rules in the mall are like this, either you die or I die, but seeing your competitors end their lives is still very difficult for a person in a peaceful era to accept. Lin Zhenhua tried to use this method to eliminate the guilt in his heart.

What made Lin Zhenhua feel a little unbelievable was that he found that when the employees of Nihon Heavy Industries heard the news, the expressions on their faces were actually indifferent, as if it was not their former boss who died, but an inconsequential passer-by. Lin Zhenhua also wondered if Ishikawa Akira was too harsh on his employees, but after asking some employees, Lin Zhenhua got a contrary answer, and everyone said that Ishikawa Akira was a very good boss.

In that case, why don't employees feel some sadness? Perhaps, this problem can only be explained by the national character of the Japanese.

After doing this family show of rabbit death and fox sadness, Lin Zhenhua took his receiving team and started the intense work. Feelings belong to feelings, interests belong to interests, this large enterprise founded by Ishikawa father and son has now changed its surname to Lin, Lin Zhenhua must eat this enterprise completely, and there will not be even a bone left.

The acquisition of Nihon Heavy Industries cost 300 million US dollars, which was not something that Hanhua Heavy Industries could get, and Lin Zhenhua had to go around raising money.

The first object of the fate is the enterprises in the chemical equipment alliance, and these state-owned factories can still squeeze out some cash. Part of the money was lent to Hanhua, and the other part belonged to the pool, which was repaid with the equipment dismantled from the Nihon factory after Hanhua Heavy Industries acquired Nyon.

The second source of funding is the bank. Hanhua Heavy Industry is a test field planted by the chief designer himself, who dares to slack off in Jiangnan Province and Xunyang City? As soon as Lin Zhenhua opened his mouth, the province and the city worked at full speed to contact various banks to raise funds for Hanhua.

The State Planning Commission also gave active support to Hanhua Heavy Industries' acquisition of Nihon Heavy Industries, and He Haifeng made a special report and applied for $50 million in financial support funds for Lin Zhenhua. Of course, this money will have to be repaid in the future, but the repayment period and interest are very favorable. This kind of example of Chinese companies going abroad to carry out cross-border mergers and acquisitions was very rare at that time, and the country also hoped to use Hanhua as a pilot to explore this new business model. …,

The rest is some friendship sponsorship. For example, Feng Maoqiao, who almost donated his gear company back then, now that the policy is clear, he is no longer worried. When Lin Zhenhua returned his application for donating to him, he immediately said that he was willing to lend 5 million US dollars to Hanhua to help Hanhua acquire Nihon Heavy Industries.

An Yan and Xiong Lijun also helped, and the two families scraped together more than 10 million US dollars, and threatened to make up more if it was not enough. One of the advantages of opening a shopping mall is that you always have some liquidity on hand. Lin Zhenhua knew that the two of them were currently planning to expand the coverage of the chain, including opening more than a dozen branches in Africa, and he did not borrow more money from them when funds were tight.

With all the money put together, Lin Zhenhua finally scraped together enough $300 million to complete the acquisition of Nihon Heavy Industries. Speaking of which, this is also an acquisition of snakes swallowing elephants. If it weren't for the financial crisis in Japan, and the overseas market of Nyon Heavy Industries was squeezed to pieces by Hanhua and other enterprises, I am afraid that Lin Zhenhua would not be able to eat such a large enterprise if he waited for another 5 years. The company has arrived, and what Lin Zhenhua wants now is to quickly make this company generate benefits and earn back money to repay the loans everywhere.

According to the original plan, the two factories of Nihon Heavy Industries in Kyushu will be completely dismantled, and all the equipment will be shipped back to China, reassembled and a new factory will be built. One of the fundamental reasons for the failure of Nihon Heavy Industries is that the production costs are too high, which cannot be solved in Japan, and only by moving the factory back to China and using China's cheap labor to reduce costs can these advanced production equipment of Nihon Heavy Industries be effective.

In Fukui and Tsuruoka, there are two other factories in Nihon, and Lin Zhenhua decided to keep these two factories and continue production. Nihon Heavy Industry has a group of very good workers, some precision machining work, but also need to rely on these workers to complete, Lin Zhenhua is difficult to find enough equally good workers in China to replace them. After careful study, Lin Zhenhua decided to keep two factories in Japan, dismiss those low-quality ordinary workers, and retain those high-level technicians with excellent skills to specialize in the manufacture of some high-end equipment. As for the production that can be done in China, then it is unceremoniously taken back to do it yourself.

Another purpose of retaining these high-level craftsmen is to gain their skills and experience. Lin Zhenhua will transfer hundreds of young students from Hanhua Technical School, let them follow the apprenticeship of Japanese masters, and spend ten years to learn all the skills of these Japanese senior technicians.

Nihon Heavy Industries also has a key department, which is the Nihon Research Institute in Tokyo, which has hundreds of experienced and knowledgeable chemical equipment engineers, as well as a large number of experimental equipment that is not available in China. Wei Dongqi, He Chengshan and others made a special trip from China, and as soon as they walked into the experimental workshop of the Nihon Research Institute, they were all unable to take a step, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

These are the things that engineers dream of. When some Chinese technicians go abroad to be visiting scholars, they want to borrow other people's equipment to do a few experiments, and they have to look at each other's faces, and they won't even let you look at the slightly more cutting-edge equipment.

But now, these things belong to them, and they can use them as much as they want, and they can use them for as long as they want.

Wei Dongqi stroked an experimental equipment in his hand, and smiled at Lin Zhenhua unabashedly: "Mr. Lin, our deal is too worthwhile, the value of the equipment in this research institute alone is more than 300 million US dollars!" ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Lao Wei, you haven't counted the intangible assets here." I've already gone to their archives to see it, and it contains the experimental materials accumulated by Nihon Heavy Industries over the past few decades, and there are a lot of good things in it. ”

"The intellectual property rights of these materials also belong to us, right?" Wei Dongqi asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, it is clearly stipulated in the acquisition agreement that the acquisition includes all the patented technologies owned by Nihon Heavy Industries, and these patents are at least worth hundreds of millions." ”

"Great!" Wei Dongqi was so excited that his eyes lit up, "Nyon has very solid technical reserves in the fields of pharmaceutical equipment and fine chemicals, and our chemical equipment company only has two main products, fertilizer equipment and petrochemical equipment, and we can enter a wider field in the future." ”

"Hehe, Lao Wei, I've already got the things for you, when you can transform these equipment and technologies into products, it's up to you and Fang Yanwu. I don't know anything about technology, I only care about whether I can make money. Lin Zhenhua teased.

Wei Dongqi said sincerely: "Mr. Lin is too modest, and in terms of technology, Mr. Lin's attainments are also very admirable. The most rare thing is that Mr. Lin's knowledge is very broad, unlike those of us who only understand our own field, and we don't know it across one field. ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "I know everything, but I'm not proficient in anything." However, this is also a joke, since I don't know anything, I have to be a leader. ”

Wei Dongqi patted his ass and said: "It is the luck of our Hanhua Heavy Industry to have a far-sighted leader like Mr. Lin." ”
