Chapter Ninety-Seven: Selling the Factory
Tang Ning made this plan to fight back against Matsumoto and Mitsubishi once, after all, he was pitted so many times by Matsumoto or success or failure, it is impossible to say that he is not annoyed at all, but the disparity in power and the fact that he has never had a chance, this time he has a more suitable opportunity, how can he let it go. The second is to fulfill the promise to Loskova, when she was subdued, she promised to help her rescue her mother if she behaved well, and now Loskova is loyal and obedient, whether it is in bed or at work, she is trying her best to please herself, and the base camp is about to move to Ryukyu, so it is time to find an opportunity to fulfill her wish.
The last reason and the most important reason is that Tang Ning is short of money, and he is very short of money, because his current stall is too big, and he didn't feel anything when he was developing in Tokyo before, and now he is building factories in Ryukyu and Kokura at the same time, and even plans to go to Guam to intervene, these are all backed by huge amounts of money, and they don't have to worry about the factories in the Ryukyus, Aoyama will do their best for the great desire of Ryukyu independence, but the rest of the places have to be managed by themselves, In particular, the Korean War is about to break out in less than two years, and if you don't get ready, you will be in trouble if you can't grab an arms order at that time.
In fact, Downing's ambition is not big, he never thought of producing high-end fighter jets or tanks and armored vehicles or anything, what he wants to monopolize or occupy most of the share is the most basic guns and ammunition, grenade blasters and the like, build such a low-end weapons factory, not only can make a fortune in the Korean War, but also participate in the future Vietnam War, the ammunition replenishment of the US military stationed in Japan, and even sell it to the warlords in the Middle East or Africa in the future.
This requires a lot of money, and Downing also needs to buy a few high-ranking officials before the start of the Korean War, first, in order to be able to distribute more arms orders for himself, and second, Downing wants to try to operate the Ryukyu independence, so Downing needs a lot of money now, and in today's Japan, the richest people are not the government and banks, but the high-ranking officials behind the big chaebols and the black market, these people have huge wealth in their hands, but because of the unfavorable situation, they dare not publicize it.
Among these people, Downing is most familiar with and understood, that is, the old rival Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi not only has money but also ambitions, and according to Downing's understanding of Mitsubishi and the report returned by the secret agent, Mitsubishi is most coveted by its own nylon factory, so Downing's plan this time is set up for Mitsubishi's coveting of nylon products.
Downing believes that with the precedent of the last Jerry incident, Matsumoto should still trust Miwako --- Tanaka Taiki line, and in order to rescue Miwako's mother, Downing decided to use Lustkova, also known as Miwako, to deliver the news to Matsumoto.
The content of the message is also carefully designed, and the standard nine points are true and one point false. Roughly speaking, Downing was about to move his factories to Okinawa, so he planned to auction off the factories in Tokyo, but it was not simply a sale of plant and equipment, because no one was buying them. It's not that Tangning's equipment is defective, but these things produced by Tangning are too special, and only he can solve the problem of raw materials and sales, so it is useless for others to buy the plant and equipment.
Therefore, Tangning's design this time is to sell the management rights of downstream manufacturers, that is, to use the factory in Tokyo as a branch, the products produced must be inspected by the main factory, the procurement and sales of raw materials are responsible for the main factory, the branch factory is only responsible for production, and the profits are then distributed through negotiation.
At first glance, this sale plan is very unfavorable to the buyer, but the Japanese economic environment at that time was very special, the United States blockaded and cut Japan's economy, so the overall economic situation is very sluggish.
In addition, Downing's plan is not aimed at ordinary businessmen like Aoyama, but Japan's richest chaebols and high-ranking officials, as high-ranking officials behind the black market, although they have huge wealth in their hands, but capital can only continue to make profits when it is operated, and hoarding in the bank can only be constantly depreciated, so it is a good choice to start a stable and profitable company that can be put on the table and be above board.
For those chaebols who were forcibly dismembered and broken up by the U.S. military, this is a good way to preserve the strength of the enterprise and save the country, because no matter how loyal they are to the original consortium, but if they do not cooperate together for a long time, their loyalty will inevitably decrease, especially for many of the middle and lower managers of Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Mitsui, the current living conditions are not very good, and the chaebol can maintain the living standards of the core members, but it is impossible to maintain everyone, but in the long run, it will become very difficult to win people's hearts. Therefore, at this time, it is urgent to start a large enterprise and gather back all the key members.
Therefore, although Downing customized the price very high, he was still very confident that someone would buy it, and he also left a back hand, anyway, the sales of these products are in his own hands, the first thing to ensure is that the products of his Okinawa headquarters are sold first, and then the Tokyo branch, but fortunately, the output of the Okinawa factory will not be very large in the early days, and the profit of the branch here is guaranteed; Moreover, after the outbreak of the Korean War, the demand for these military supplies by the US military will increase greatly, and it would be good if the output of Okinawa and Tokyo could ensure the demand, and there was no need to worry about it.
This time, Downing planned to sell all the factories except for the instant noodle factory that was being built, including the Swiss Army Knife Factory that he had high hopes for, and even he planned to throw most of the production tasks of the saber to the Tokyo branch, first, because the demand for the Swiss Army Knife was not high, and the simultaneous production of the two factories would definitely cause a backlog, and second, he wanted to turn Kokura into an arms factory, focusing on the manufacture and research and development of various weapons, and he didn't pay much attention to the low-profit things like the Swiss Army Knife.
Since the raw materials and sales are controlled by himself, Tang Ning did not do anything about this sale plan, but he planned to pit Mitsubishi in the nylon factory.
