Spring in Nagasaki is very cool, and in contrast to the dry weather in the Nanyang area, the cherry blossoms are at their most beautiful in Japan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But no matter how comfortable the natural environment is, it can't withstand the excitement of people's hearts. Many people get hot when they're emotionally stressed.

Kojima Matachi is such a person, "Why is it so hot today...... After wiping the sweat off his forehead, he casually dragged a passing clerk and asked. "Your Excellency General Manager hasn't gone out yet, has you?"

"Your Excellency the General Manager is always in the office." recognized that the person who stopped him was the confidant of Kojima Shinrichi, the general manager Anda Aida, and the clerk who was stopped hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully. "Your Excellency General Manager is in a good mood today......

"That's good." It's good that you are here, and you can go to show your credit, and you can complete the task with so much hard work. Kojima Matachi exhaled lightly and walked briskly towards the general manager's office on the second floor. His weight, which was by no means light, crushed the staircase, and the wooden staircase immediately made a 'creaking, creaking' sound, as if it were about to be overwhelmed......

"Hey, I bet Matachi Kojima's weight is definitely more than the Sankan ......" The traditional Japanese unit of measurement has always been around 70 pounds. The weight of Sanguan is really not low, but the island is still a non-slender figure, and from a distance, the establishment is a moving meat ball.

This also made Kojima Matachi a joke at Sumitomo Trading's Nagasaki branch. His image is too bad. Glancing at Kojima Matachi's short and chubby figure, a staff member with a broken mouth whispered.

His voice was full of sarcasm, but his eyes were full of even stronger unwillingness and envy. This fat pig-like red deer somehow won the trust of His Excellency the General Manager, and he ......

No one would come to answer this kind of thing without knowing the seriousness, and an old clerk in his thirties glared at the staff member with a broken mouth sternly, "Nakamura-kun, don't you want this job, you actually dare to talk about Kojima behind your back...... "Even a dog raised by the general manager has more status than ordinary members of the company, not to mention that Kojima Shina is still a minister." If you really want to call it, you have to say it respectfully.

"I'm just curious, such a huge body doesn't know how much to eat every day? And now the branch is so idle...... "Hearing the words of the seniors, the staff with a broken mouth also knew that his behavior just now was obviously looking for death, but what is a person with a broken mouth?" This kind of person also generally has a very bad stinky problem -- they want to lose face. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for people to say that those who can drown in water and those who kill their mouths are killed.

But hearing him say this, the anger of the older clerk dissipated in an instant, as if a sword had been stabbed in the heart, sighed lowly, and turned back to his position.

In the past, in Nagasaki, the president of Sumitomo Trading's Nagasaki branch was a large merchant on the same level as Mitsubishi's chairman Mino, and the overall strength of Sumitomo Trading Company was absolutely crushing Mino Heibei at that time. But the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year. Everything has changed since the Sino-Japanese conflict.

In the conflict between China and Japan, Kagoshima was destroyed, but the port of Nagasaki, which was not too far from Kagoshima and many times more prosperous, was safe and sound.

However, in the midst of this conflict, Sumitomo Trading's momentum in Japan has taken a sharp turn. Because Adachi General Manager, the past president of Adachi, made a bad decision before the danger came, believing that Nagasaki would inevitably be engulfed in war, he opted for a major liquidation to recover his funds quickly. However, Mitsubishi's chairman Mino took the opportunity to collect all the goods and real estate, and made a decision that was exactly the opposite of Adachi Aida. As it turned out, Mino Pingbei's decision was correct.

Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. suffered a lot of losses, but more importantly, its reputation was bruised. And Sanye Pingbei not only made a lot of money, but his bravery and perseverance have won the praise of countless people.

However, this is not the source of the biggest crisis of the Nagasaki branch today, although the wrong decision was made, and the trading company suffered a setback, but with the support of the main family behind it, the Nagasaki branch can still be the top foreign merchant in Nagasaki, Japan. Because a large part of their business is the textile trade with China, in addition to the fine Chinese high-grade silk, there are more cotton cloth, occupying half of the entire Sino-Japanese cotton cloth trade market, which can be called the largest Chinese cloth merchant in Japan.

However, only a small part of Mino Pingbei was involved in the cotton trade. In other words, cotton cloth is only one of the many commodities he is involved in, and the others include raw silk, silk, books, calligraphy and painting, tea, sugar, porcelain, lacquerware, Chinese medicinal materials, hardware, ironware, iron and steel, and so on. Cotton cloth accounts for a very small proportion of the entire foreign trade system in Sanye Pingbei.

Both sides are Japan's top merchants, but the types of industries involved are not very conflicting. The previous Anda Aida and Mino Heibei were even good friends.

However, it should not be forgotten that in addition to being a large merchant, Mino is also the controller of Mitsubishi Boshoku, Japan's largest textile company. Since the end of last year, Mitsubishi Boshoku's products began to appear on the market, and in a short period of time, Mino Heibei's company was successfully listed, and then Mitsubishi Co., Ltd. was established, and he became a veritable chairman.

It is only because the Mitsubishi Textile Factory, which has burst out of productivity, that the Mitsubishi cotton cloth produced is sold in Japan at a price that is not higher than the price of Chinese cloth, so Mitsubishi cloth quickly entered the entire Japanese market, and they played a high-profile banner of 'supporting domestic products', which was almost a response.

The contradictions and conflicts between China and Japan have been resolved, but the deep humiliation felt by the Japanese has not completely dissipated.

At this time, Mitsubishi Boshoku played the slogan of "supporting domestic products and driving away Chinese cloth", which completely touched the sensitive nerves of the Japanese. Whether it is official support or the reversal of public opinion, Mitsubishi Corporation will soar into the sky in just one spring. It has become synonymous with pride and self-esteem in Japan.

Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. has almost monopolized more than half of the cotton cloth trade with China, and is a well-deserved leader among Japanese foreign companies. However, since the emergence of Mitsubishi Boshoku, Sumitomo Corporation's reputation has really plummeted. Because of the need to 'expel 'Huabu', some merchants who sell Huabu have become 'Japanese traitors' among many people. Coupled with the overt or covert influence of some foreign firms, Adachi Aida, a famous figure in the port of Nagasaki in the past, has become an iconic figure in Japan.

If it is just condemnation in public opinion, the most important thing is that real profits are also declining rapidly. At least for the last two months.

Of course, the entire Nagasaki branch knew that this was just a difficult 'road', but as long as you walked through, the Nagasaki branch was waiting for the Kuantan Avenue. Because the Japanese could not have needed low-priced cotton cloth from China, Mitsubishi's production was simply not enough to supply the whole country. The second phase of their project is still far away, and the first phase of the project has just begun production.

In addition, Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. has already made contact with the Chinese side, and it is believed that by next year, a textile factory belonging to the Sumitomo family will also appear on Japanese soil. Although Sumitomo Trading Company is a step behind, the future is bright.

Because of this relationship, the people of the Nagasaki branch have very complicated feelings about Mino Heibei. For a while, he hated him to the bone, and regarded him as a lifelong enemy; After a while, I admired him and regarded him as a hero of Japan.

But......

Although he was severely pressed by Mino Pingbei, he even took the reputation of the general association and was hurt. But what the Nagasaki branch hates most now is not the newly rising Mitsubishi Corporation, but those who chose to fall into the trap when the Nagasaki branch and even Sumitomo Trading Company were unlucky, obstructed the Sumitomo family from seeking help from the shogunate, and added fuel to the fire in the people. If it weren't for these people, the Nagasaki branch and the Sumitomo Trading Company behind them wouldn't have fallen so hard recently......

The most unacceptable thing for the Nagasaki branch is that the "exorcism" campaign broke out in Japan, but in fact, the sales of Huafu in Japan have not dropped significantly in the past two months, and it is only the Nagasaki branch that is unfortunate that is known to be the industry leader in the past.

They became a target, a significant target. Under the promotion of well-intentioned people and the crusade of public opinion, it has become a 'channel' for the people of Japan to vent their feelings. In fact, there has been no major change in the sales of Huabu in Japan.

Recently, the Nagasaki branch has seen a significant decline in the scale of its business, most notably in the cotton industry. However, after saying goodbye to the Nagasaki branch due to the pressure of public opinion, these market shares were not transformed into Japan's domestic handmade cotton spinning economy, but were also shared by other unknown small merchants.

And after the Nagasaki branch was unlucky, the small foreign companies that were originally silent in front of them also showed off their might.

For many people in the Nagasaki branch, what they hated most was not the enemies who had caused their miserable end, because those enemies were strong enemies that they had to take seriously, and since they were strong enemies, they had to treat them seriously. This is like Luo Cripple and Xi Yuan, although the two regard each other as one of their mortal enemies, but if you want to say that the person you really hate in your heart, it will definitely not be the other. The people of the Nagasaki branch hated even more those who used to bow down to themselves, eat behind their buttocks, and when they were unlucky, they took the opportunity to steal their own interests and ran in front of them to show off their might......

Recently, the Nagasaki branch has focused almost all of its energy on how to calm down the pressure of public opinion, and it has no time to pay attention to these clowns. But that doesn't mean they won't take revenge!

The Nagasaki branch is located in a three-story building, which is rare in a purely Japanese city. But this is Nagasaki.

"Your Excellency......" walked to Aida's office, and Kojima Matachi said softly after tapping on the door a few times.

It didn't take long for the room to hear Anda Aita's voice come out of the room.

"Is it Kojima-kun? Come in...... "For his confidant and beloved general, Anda Aida is still very amiable.

With Adachi's permission, Kojima pushed open the office door.

Compared with the general manager of Sumitomo Trading's Nagasaki branch last year, Aidachi Aida at this time was obviously older and much haggard, obviously only forty years old, and there was gray hair visible to the naked eye on his head......

"Your Excellency......" walked in front of Adachi Aita, and Kojima Matachi bowed his head and said respectfully.

Anda Aita's face was very serious, "Kojima-kun, have you already found out what you want to investigate......?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. You've already found out......" Nodding, Kojima Matachi took out a document from the placket of his clothes. "These are all the moves of Mitsubishi Boshoku in Nagasaki in recent times......"

The first phase of the Mitsubishi Textile Mill in Mino Heibei could be built in Nagasaki.

After taking the information and flipping through it slightly, Anda Sanada's face was filled with a heartfelt smile, and it was really his right-hand man, "Kojima-kun, you did a good job......

"This is far less hard work than Your Excellency." When he said this, Kojima Matachi's eyes were full of 100% sincerity. Others don't know the hard work of Anda Sanada these days, but he knows it.

In the two or three months after the 'disaster' broke out, no one knew that Anda Sanada had 'broken out of his shell', and he used his hands to create another new foreign company that nominally had nothing to do with Sumitomo Trading Company. Although this process took a lot of valuable time, and sent people to China to quickly contact Chinese trading partners, they successfully persuaded them to make a series of "preferential" promises in the face of the "threat" of woven fabrics in Japan when summer came.

For example, the newborn foreign company can be discounted, and the loss caused by this 'discount' will be borne by both sides, not just Sumitomo's family. Chinese are also wary of Japan's new cotton spinning industry, led by Mitsubishi Boshoku.

In order to save the situation of the branch, Adachi Aida almost exhausted his wisdom and worked hard. And soon, the day of the harvest is coming. The big summer sale is about to begin. On this day when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

Kojima Matachi sincerely believes that this will save the loss for the Sumitomo family. And relying on the advantageous price, Mitsubishi Textile, which has soared into the sky, has planted a big heel.

Kojima Matachi doesn't believe that tens of millions of Japanese citizens are facing Huafu, which is obviously lower than the local cloth, and they can't be moved?

What's more, a lot of Chinese cloth will appear in a cotton cloth store that seems to have nothing to do with Sumitomo Trading Company as Japanese native cloth, and then use the identity of Japanese native cloth to 'fall in price'.

This is a war for money.

Kojima Matachi does not believe that the shallow-rooted Mitsubishi will be a rival to the Sumitomo family, not to mention that the Sumitomo family also has Chinese partners, and Mitsubishi's biggest allies, the Mitsui family, are also good friends of Sumitomo.

Behind his desk, Adachi Aida was carefully flipping through the documents.

Like many Nagasaki branch staff, the person Adachi Aida hated the most was not Mino Heibei, on the contrary, he admired Mino Heibei and praised him for his long-term vision beyond ordinary people. Because the decline of Japan's traditional cotton spinning industry is inevitable, only by embarking on the same large-scale factory as the Chinese and using advanced machinery can it be reborn.

And Mino Pingbei is obviously a big step ahead.

Then there is the port of Nagasaki.

It is clear that Mino Heibei made a big gamble in the Sino-Japanese War, betting that the Chinese would not want to go to war with Japan completely, so the Chinese could destroy Kagoshima, but not Nagasaki. He won!

Anda Sanada hated those who had fallen into the trap. When the Sumitomo family suffered a crisis of public opinion, these people not only did not lend a helping hand, but pushed the boat along with the current. You must know that many of them were former second-level businessmen of the Sumitomo family. But now they pounced like a pack of mad dogs and carved up the interests of the Sumitomo family.

As an old courtier of the Sumitomo family and the son-in-law of the Sumitomo family, Anda Sanada hates these people to the core.

But he wouldn't waste too much time with them, because it wasn't worth it. When the crisis passed, the Sumitomo family could more easily repair them, and now all Anda Sanada had to do was remember their names. While Adachi Sanada set out to prepare another team, the rest of his attention was on Mitsubishi......

Mitsubishi Boshoku, which has soared into the sky, is the biggest enemy of the Sumitomo family, which has already decided to enter the cotton textile industry as well. (To be continued.) )
