So, on the morning of the next day, Downing met Mitsubishi's representative Kawaguchi Duanari, for Mitsubishi, Downing is still very familiar, but he is only familiar with Mitsubishi's cars, what Pajero, Land Cruiser and the like, but in fact, Mitsubishi is the real king of heavy industry, from rocket missiles to electrical components, there are production, in World War II was the largest arms dealer of the Japanese army.

As soon as Kawaguchi entered the door, he said proudly: "Captain Downing, I have a big business to discuss with you this time, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

Tang Ning in this life is very tall, about more than one meter eighty, while Kawaguchi is a typical Japanese height, less than one meter seven, so it is normal for Kawaguchi to look up at Tang Ning, but the arrogance in his eyes and demeanor made Tang Ning a little dissatisfied, so he frowned and replied: "In business, as a businessman, how can you not be interested in business, Mr. Kawaguchi, please tell me if you have something!" ”

After Kawaguchi sat down, he said slowly: "I heard that Captain Downing has recently encountered a financial bottleneck, which has caused the industry to be unable to expand, and we Mitsubishi are willing to cooperate with you to jointly develop the munitions project. ”

Tang Ning took the plan, just read the first page, his face sank, and when he patiently read the entire plan, he forcibly endured the anger of smashing the plan on Kawaguchi's face, and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Kawaguchi, are you sure that this is the plan that you Mitsubishi want to cooperate with me?" Are you sure you got it right? ”

Kawaguchi replied with some dissatisfaction: "Definitely yes, this is a plan specially formulated by the board of directors in order to cooperate with you, if you are not satisfied with anything Captain Tangning, you can put it forward, and we will communicate with each other." ”

Tang Ning sneered: "Where are you dissatisfied? Hehe, then let me tell you, I am not satisfied with all the conditions in this plan, and I think you Mitsubishi have no sincerity to cooperate. Such a plan is not looking for a collaborator's attitude at all, but looking for a puppet, a disguise, do you think I am China's Puyi? ”

Kawaguchi was extremely surprised: "Our conditions are very generous, you don't need to pay anything to get a profit, and you can also join our Mitsubishi as the deputy minister, how can this be said to be insincere?" ”

Tang Ning snorted coldly: "Yicheng's profit is also good? Isn't the post of deputy minister considered insulting? In today's Japan, you are not the only Mitsubishi who are looking forward to cooperating with me, but I am the only one who can bring you development opportunities, so if you Mitsubishi only have this attitude, then there is nothing to talk about. ”

Kawaguchi changed color when he heard this: "Mr. Tang Ning, you may not know enough about Japan and our Mitsubishi, you must know that a newcomer joining Mitsubishi will not be able to be the second chief in ten years, and now you will be given a second chief as soon as you come up, what are you not satisfied with?" And we Mitsubishi have both capital and manpower, and you can already get a lot of profits. ”

Tang Ning smiled disdainfully: "When did I agree to ask for your Mitsubishi manpower, to tell you the truth, even if I cooperate with you, I will not want any of your Mitsubishi people, General MacArthur has issued a clear order, no new company is allowed to have two former Mitsubishi staff above the section chief level at the same time, are you asking me to violate General MacArthur's orders?" Besides, you Mitsubishi people think that the second chief is precious, and in my eyes it is nothing, and if Iwaki Koyata is willing to give me the position of president now, then I can reluctantly consider it. ”

Kawaguchi was so angry that he couldn't speak, pointed his finger at Tang Ning for a long time, and finally left the scene in anger and broke up unhappily. Downing did this with his own ideas, one is that he was extremely dissatisfied with the conditions offered by Mitsubishi, thinking that it was insulting him; Second, he never thought about cooperating with big chaebols like Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo, because the strength of the two sides was too unequal, and he had no ability to control it at all, and in the end, he was likely to be hollowed out by the other party.

Afterwards, Matsumoto made a special trip to visit Downing with several valuable paintings, hoping not to affect the friendship between the two because of the wrong decision of the board of directors and Kawaguchi Stanari's disrespectful attitude, he regretted that the board of directors still insisted on the old stubborn thinking, so he did not grasp this great opportunity, but as a person, he hopes that there will be a chance to have in-depth cooperation with Downing in the future.

Mitsubishi took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate with the Americans, and as a result, it ran into a gray matter, which soon spread secretly and quickly in the circle, and became a joke in the circle for a while, most people were laughing at Mitsubishi because he was dismembered too ruthlessly, so he got out of the coma, this time it was self-inflicted, how could the Americans cooperate with the Japanese, otherwise why would they dissolve the chaebol with such fanfare. But not everyone thinks so, and there is one person who smells a business opportunity in it.

This person's name is Junichi Aoyama, and he is the current president of Aoyama Trading Company, which is a medium-sized trading company, and its strength and influence naturally cannot be compared with a chaebol like Mitsubishi, but under the care of Junichi Aoyama, the entire trading company seems to be thriving, but unfortunately Japan was defeated at this time, because Aoyama Trading Company is taking the high-tech manufacturing route, so the loss of commodity dumping places such as China and North Korea has little impact on him, but the economic blockade of Japan by the United States has caused the trading company to suffer a catastrophe.

Fortunately, Junichi Aoyama learned the news earlier, and kept his family's assets and the backbone of the company, but it's okay to sit and eat for a day or two, and now it's been a year, and his hair is about to turn gray with his worries, and he recently heard this interesting story about Mitsubishi, and his thoughts are different from most people.

He thinks that Mitsubishi's plan is actually very smart, and now only by cooperating with the Americans can he keep the company and seek development, but Mitsubishi is used to being the boss in Japan, and the high-level are a bunch of old antiques that are not old, and they want to take advantage of others and do not want to pay, and they still reject others in their hearts.

According to Aoyama's idea, this kind of thing is either not done, or it will be done big, as long as this US captain just takes over, he even dares to give the position of chairman, of course, there must be a condition in this, and it is a very fragrant condition!

PS: These two chapters are a little lower than Mitsubishi Hei's IQ, but at that time, Japan had just woken up from the dream of the Great East Asian Empire, and the arrogant idea had not been completely shattered, and Mitsubishi was indeed used to being dominant in Japan, so it should not be particularly outrageous to have this kind of thought; The second is Iwaki's sentence, I really can't get used to it, so I just want to black Mitsubishi!
