Next chapter

Mr. Lin parked his car in front of an employment agency, and the plaque was written in kanji in Japanese.

After he got out of the car, the propaganda girl standing at the door looked at his car and stepped forward timidly and said, "Sir, your car can't be parked at the door, please park at the place where the line is marked, is it okay?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the girl's gesture, he looked back at the parking line, so he got into the car again and put the car against the wall.

Ibeka asked, "What are we doing here?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "This is an employment agency. ”

Puzzled, Ibeka asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng: "I want to know which factories in Toyota City have recently laid off employees, or are not doing well. ”

Ibeka accompanied Lin Qiangsheng out of the car for some reason, and the girl standing in front of the door greeted her again, and said happily: "Hello sir, hello miss, please come in!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at this cute girl, she was quite beautiful, sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the age of kawaii!

In Japanese, he is not very proficient, he said, "I want to know which factory has laid off employees recently!" ”

The girl was surprised for a moment and said, "Please come in, I'll go to my sister to answer you immediately!" ”

She ran into the door and shouted, "Sister, a guest is here!" ”

The employment agency is very small, and the "sister" is a young woman who is nearly thirty years old, she walked out of the door and greeted her slightly, and then said to Lin Qiangsheng with a smile: "Please come in, please take care of you when you meet for the first time, are you here to recruit workers?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng walked into the store with the proprietress and nodded, "Yes, I want to know what factories in Toyota City have laid off employees recently!" ”

The young woman always kept a smile and said, "Please take a seat, Yasuda Employment Agency can provide you with a list of many professional workers related to the automobile industry, and I will prepare the materials for you immediately!" ”

Lin Johnson and Ibeka sat down. The girl was busy preparing coffee, while the young woman returned to her desk to rummage through the materials, and finally brought over a bunch of papers.

Lin Qiangsheng asked Ibeka, "My Japanese is not good. Do you speak Japanese? ”

Ibeka rolled her eyes and said, "No, I don't know what you're doing here!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the little one and said, "I figured out that the unemployed people were looking for some factories that closed down or laid off employees. Such a factory must have what I need, and maybe some more industrial workers who are proficient in manufacturing! ”

Japan's automotive industry is very developed, but the competition is fierce. It has been recorded that the Japanese created hundreds of car and motorcycle brands after World War II, but most of these brands have gone out of business within a few decades. In the end, only a dozen famous brands such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Mazda, Isuzu, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Daihatsu were left, which were truly survival of the fittest.

The lovely girl stood and looked at the others, and the young woman asked, "Excuse me, sir?" Are you Korean? ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Where do you think I look like a Korean? ”

Miki Yasuda hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry sir, it's my fault!" ”

She didn't dare to ask where the tall man in front of her came from, although she was curious about his not very fluent Japanese, she was very puzzled before, this man was wearing a white casual shirt, very elaborate and custom-made, this kind of person must not be looking for a job, and he was followed by an American.

Lin Qiangsheng asked Miki Yasuda, "Do you speak English, what's your name?" ”

Miki Yasuda said cautiously: "It's just a little bit, my name is Miki Yasuda." ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded. Said: "Yasuda-san, are there any factories in Toyota City that have closed down recently, or have laid off a lot of workers?" ”

Miki Yasuda thought for a moment. Hurriedly rummaging through the list, she said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Yes, Mr., the Motomachi factory has laid off hundreds of workers recently!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said: "It's not a subsidiary of Toyota, it's the kind of independent, Toyota's cooperative enterprise, or an independent research institute can also be!" ”

Although Miki Yasuda didn't understand why the customer was looking for such a factory, she still tried to rummage through the archives and said, "Ah, there is. Over here! ”

"Pingshan Hydraulic Pressure Factory, I heard that they have a problem with their business now. The institute has been closed and researchers have been dismissed. Toyota has already cancelled the contract with the plant. Chairman Hirayama doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing the business, and the workers are probably leaving the company as well. We have a lot of people from Pingshan here to apply for jobs, which is very pitiful! Miki Yasuda said sympathetically.

Lin Qiangsheng asked with interest: "Mrs. Yasuda, do you know why Toyota canceled its cooperation with this factory?" ”

Miki Yasuda looked at him in embarrassment and said, "Sir, although people who come to apply for jobs will also tell me some situations, I only know about specific things!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng: "It's okay, I may go to this factory to have a look, meet their president, and maybe bring them a big deal!" ”

Miki Yasuda looked at Lin Qiangsheng suspiciously, and said, "Sir, I can contact this factory directly, you can go directly to it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "You sue me first, why were they canceled the order cooperation by Toyota!" ”

Miki Yasuda hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from the workers that the chairman of this factory invested all the funds of the factory in the real estate market, and the factory did not have the funds to update its equipment and carry out product development, so it was seized by a competitor and the order contract!" ”

"I see!" When Lin Qiangsheng heard such news, he suddenly laughed, it turned out that he had gone to speculate in real estate.

At present, the Japanese real estate market has not yet reached its hottest time, and in two years, a large amount of funds from the Japanese banking industry and private society will pour into the real estate market. This has caused great difficulties for Japan's manufacturing industry, because no one cares about technological innovation anymore, and there are more profitable real estate projects, so why bother with scientific research.

Enterprises do not have funds for research and development, and companies do not have funds to expand their scale, especially small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises like Pingshan, which are in a fiercely competitive industry, and when they encounter such a financial storm, financial problems can crush them in an instant.

When real estate is at its hottest, you have to kneel and beg the bank for loans, and it is already very difficult to support it, so in the 80s, Japan had a large number of closed factories, and Lin Qiangsheng came to buy the bottom!

Miki Yasuda looked at Lin Qiangsheng's eyebrows in surprise and said, "Sir? ”

Lin Qiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took a sip of coffee to hide his look, and the cute girl on the side was amused and laughed.

Lin Qiangsheng pretended to be calm and coughed, and said: "I'm not busy going to this factory first, please help me find out what other companies or research institutions are not doing well, I want a list, bring them all!" ”

Hirayama Hydraulic Appliance Co., Ltd., a factory that supplies automotive steering system parts, has been a supplier of spare parts for Toyota Corolla, but a month ago their order contract was divided among other competitors, and Toyota ruthlessly terminated their cooperation with them.

This is because other manufacturers greatly surpassed them in terms of production volume, and Toyota eliminated the Hirayama plant in order to save costs.

President Hirayama Hiroshichi Suehiro sat in his office with a sad face, and across from him sat two executives of the company.

One of them pleaded with Suehiro Nobuichi and said, "President, please be accommodating with Chairman Pingshan again, the Hirayama factory can't go out of business, otherwise we will lose our jobs!" ”

The other person is older, his hair is gray, and he has no master, so he just listens to him constantly muttering: "I still have a loan, I just bought a house, my children are still in school, I am almost 60 years old, how can the president do this to me!" ”

Japan's housing prices are high, and industry and commerce are concentrated in a few major cities, so the custom of young people not to buy a house has been formed, and the Japanese generally think about settling down in their fifties and sixties, so many elderly people are still working in order to repay their loans.

Suehiro Nobuichi bowed deeply to the two of them, and said painfully to the older ones: "Minister Chino, I really can't help it!" Chairman Hirayama's attitude is very resolute, we have lost the contract with Toyota, and the chairman has decided to close the factory! ”

Chino Kaga sighed and closed his eyes, and said: "I really can't imagine that I will be laid off after the rise of Japan, life has really lost its purpose, what is the point!" ”

Shinichi Suehiro hurriedly persuaded: "Senpai Senno, please don't be discouraged!" You have studied hydraulics for 20 years and have a wealth of experience, please cheer up, I will write a letter of recommendation for you! ”

Chino Kaga nodded, staggered to his feet, the three of them bowed to each other sadly, Chino said with a wry smile: "Maybe I should sell the house, while the housing prices are high, so that my children can finish college!" ”

Sue Hongxin didn't know what to say, he silently sent the two out of the door, the other person was in charge of the factory's production, and now the factory has laid off most of the workers, leaving only some old people who are still reluctant to leave.

"Why is real estate crazy like this? Is there a future for our factory! Suehiro Nobuichi looked at the unpopular factory and cold equipment, and asked very puzzled, he didn't know if anyone could answer his question. (To be continued.) )
