Chapter 62: Mazda (4)

After graduating from Hitotsubashi University's Faculty of Commerce, Okuta joined Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. Since then, he has risen to prominence with his outstanding performance, becoming Chairman of the Board of Directors in 1982, Managing Director in 1988, and President of the Board of Directors in 1995. As a high-profile aggressive helmsman, Okuda completed the rejuvenation of Toyota during his service to the Toyota family, and after gradually opening up the American market, Okuda began to focus on invading the Chinese market. In his eyes, the consumption contained in emerging markets is undoubtedly unlimited.

The man wore meticulously parted hair, a pair of boxy thick lensed glasses, and behind the glasses were a pair of eyes that didn't look very aggressive, and a square face that looked very kind.

It's just that Jerry knows that the crocodile won't even open its eyes before biting the buffalo's head and dragging it underwater.

Jerry sat in his chair, his eyes slightly open, the sun was too dazzling today, and his eyes hadn't rested enough for the time being. Through his slightly open eyes, Jerry watched the middle-aged man swing his golf club and knock the golf ball away, and he still had no desire to speak. When he was in the car, Jerry had already figured out one thing, if he just wanted to put his tentacles into Mazda, he could have asked JR Investment to negotiate with Ford. As long as Mazda is dragged on the flow of funds, and Mazda's accounting crisis is serious enough to affect the company's entire system, it will not take much time, and both the board of directors of Mazda and the Sumitomo consortium will inevitably make concessions.

The Tanaka consortium must have benefited Ford, which still holds a 27 percent stake in Mazda.

The decline of Mazda will inevitably affect the interests of Ford.

But Ford, who said that Ford had to be Mazda? Who said that Ford certainly didn't want Mazda to become a subsidiary of Ford and become Ford's OEM and sales plant in the East? Mazda, which may be in decline, is more in line with the conditions to become an OEM and sales plant.

If JR Investments could offer major benefits, such as the opening of the Chinese market, then Henry Wallace would be happy to turn the gun.

That's it. The price to be paid by the Tanaka consortium is heavier.

But for the sake of Japan's fourth-largest automaker and its R&D base, Jerry is happy to do so.

At the same time, JR also enlisted Ford, a powerful comrade-in-arms.

At present, the Sumitomo Foundation is unlikely to invest even a little bit of money in Mazda, which is like a backwater. Sumitomo Bank, which had been defeated in Japan's economic bubble, has now been merged into the United Credit Bank of Japan, and the Sumitomo Foundation has lost its main financial flow tool, and funds within the consortium are not coming and going as freely as before. What's more, if you invest in Mazda, in the eyes of analysts from the Sumitomo Foundation, it is just drinking water to quench your thirst.

This is a fact that is visible for all eyes!

The reason why Jerry came forward to talk to Aiko Mitsui. It's because he knows very well that Aiko Mitsui has never been a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat. Although Mazda was a little damaged by the strategic mistakes of Shuhiro Wada and the impact of the economic crisis, its heritage as one of Japan's four major automakers remains unchanged. Because of Toyota's expansion in the European and American markets, Toyota has been gradually marginalized in the Chinese market, while Nissan, Honda and Mazda have built factories in China, Toyota's pace has been dragged down by the European and American markets. If Mazda wants to take a solid step forward in the Chinese market, Mazda's network in China is a powerful booster.

The Toyota family and Mitsui naturally do not fail to see this.

The expansion of interests is the eternal rallying point.

Not to mention the relationship between Mitsui and Sumitomo. Especially in the late 90s, when the sequelae of Japan's economic bubble slowly emerged, Aiko Mitsui was eager to beat the water dogs.

Didn't it squeeze Mitsui's living space together with other consortia several times? Don't let me get my chance, don't.

This is the vow that Aiko Mitsui gritted her teeth when Mitsui Bank, Sumitomo Banking Corporation, and Japan Long-Term Credit Bank merged to form United Credit Bank of Japan.

Her whole life. There has never been such a failure.

She is not ashamed to be defeated by an excellent woman like Nanako Tanaka, but she is ashamed of such a failure. It's all caused by the group of bastards who are empty-eyed and think they can buy all shijie.

The Sumitomo Foundation is the first offender!

Now that she finally seized an opportunity to intervene in Mazda, how could she sit idly by?

Shuo Okuda and the Toyota family?

is as smart as Miss Aiko, a demonic existence, where can you not guess that this group of guys is clearly asking for a sky-high price. Pay it back on the spot. Therefore, after knowing what happened at the manager meeting of Erki, she called Okuda Shuo and Jerry very decisively.

Ford is pressing so hard, it's time to come out and talk.

Aiko Mitsui, dressed in athleisure attire, swung her cue and the golf ball drew a beautiful parabola over the hill ahead. She flicked her ponytail and turned around with her club, only to see Jerry sitting on the golf cart with her eyes closed on her back.

It took a lot of effort for her to put away that nasty resentment. In the business scene, personal emotions must not be used as a criterion for judgment, which is the education that Aiko Mitsui has received since childhood. But Miss Aiko found that when she faced the boy known as Jeborg, this principle of iron law was corrupted little by little. Speaking of which, this guy is really annoying! This is obviously a Tokyo golf course, but he came to sleep.

Didn't you turn on the phone in a hurry and want to discuss matters related to Mazda?

Have you ever seen that after saying hello, you actually snored by yourself?

Isn't there even the most basic etiquette?

If you don't know how to play golf, at least we can walk around and talk about the idea of getting involved in Mazda.

But like you, you sat down on the golf cart and threw me and Okuda aside with your eyes closed, you ......

Darn!

Aiko Mitsui really wanted to hit the golf ball directly into Jerry's face.

But when he saw the scar at the corner of his eyebrows that still hadn't gone away, he could only breathe out secretly.

Shouldn't he be happy when he was attacked in the Seine Tunnel?

Aiko Mitsui herself can't figure out what kind of mentality she is.

Okuda Shuo looked at Jerry, who was sitting on the golf cart and resting with his eyes closed, and he was also full of curiosity. This teenager who has risen rapidly in Japan. Together with the Tanaka Foundation behind him, it is now the focus of the four major intelligence analysis classes. The four major consortia do not lack cutting-edge talents in the fields of traditional energy and high-tech electronics industries, but only in the media industries such as publishing and entertainment, the four consortia can be said to be black.

Akio Morita is a maverick at Sony, but even though Sony has an independent film library, acquired Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures in the 1988 and 1989 Japanese economic bubbles, and continues to push into the entertainment and media field with its own jishu in the field of video games. But when Japan's economic bubble burst, this seemingly luxurious combination quickly showed a state of fatigue.

Is Columbia Records profitable? NO~

Is Columbia Pictures profitable? NO~

Did Sony Electronics make a profit? YES~ But a large part of it was taken away by Capcom and Square Enix. Not only that, Sony's PlayStation is also constantly being hit by X-Staiton from Pixar, especially after the appearance of X-Station's masterpiece "Final Fantasy" series, PlayStation's market share is declining.

The Tanaka Foundation, from the day the young Comic was born, was a freak that was constantly expanding.

Tokuma Shonen Publishing Group, Vanilla Sky Co., Ltd., TY Entertainment Co., Ltd., Sanrio Shonen Peripheral ...... The more he digs into the areas touched by the Tanaka Foundation, the more surprised Okuda becomes. There has never been a woman like Nanako Tanaka, who has set up a small manga publishing company. Developed into the giant it is today. However, in the process of development, she does not eat alone. Shonen Comic has teamed up with Yasukushi Tokuma and his Tokuma Shoten, TY Entertainment has teamed up with Robernica Pictures, TBS, Kenne, and Yoshimoto Kogyo, and Shonen Peripheral has teamed up with Sanrio. …… Not only that, but she also seized the opportunity of Japan's economic bubble, broke the Japanese political arena dominated by the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan for decades, and pushed out the Japanese Women's Federation and the New People's Party of Japan, which she founded.

Is. What a terrible woman.

Now, she's eyeing Mazda, and that's indicating. Is she going into the automotive world too?

If that's the case, that's a really good deal.

Yes, that's good!

This is the final conclusion reached by Shoichiro Toyoda, the head of the Toyota family, and him, as well as a group of staff members of the Toyota family.

This nascent behemoth needs a guide in the automotive world, and Toyota can do that, and they're more than happy to do that. And in return, they will be able to spread the cobwebs of the Toyota family into the interior of the Tanaka Foundation.

This is what the Toyota family has been doing!

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has been weakened. Although Noboru Takeshita and his Liberal Party are still one of the three major ruling parties, after splitting with the Democratic Party, the Liberal Party has become less powerful than before. Coupled with the continuous emergence of female politicians in Japan today, the shili of the New People's Party of Japan, which advocates equal rights for men and women, is assimilating Japan's forty-three prefectures one after another.

Mazda will be a great opportunity for the Toyota family.

It's just that Nanako Tanaka Weishenme does not appear? Okuda really wanted to meet the current Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in person, but the guy who came to Weishenme was Jerry Rothscher? Could it be that Nanako Tanaka has the intention of cultivating him to succeed?

When Okuda looked at Jerry, although his face was peaceful, he didn't know how many turns he had turned in his brain. (To be continued......)
