Chapter Ninety-Eight: Million Dollars (Seeking the First Order)

For Mitsubishi, the secrets of the production of nylon raw materials are the biggest temptation, but this is a patent of DuPont, and Mitsubishi simply cannot get it. According to Matsumoto's investigation, although Downing's nylon factory can also produce nylon products, the raw materials are purchased from DuPont, and the nylon factory does labor-intensive rough processing, and even provides a part of the semi-finished products to DuPont as a deduction for raw material costs and franchise fees.

However, the information provided by Miwako this time is that due to the very pleasant cooperation between DuPont and Downing in the past year, DuPont not only gained benefits in the cooperation, but also solved the problem of insufficient manpower for basic work, coupled with the special relationship between Downing and DuPont's young master Jimmy, so DuPont decided to open a raw material production project in the Japanese branch, so the potential value of the nylon factory among the five factories sold by Downing this time is the largest, not only can harvest the nylon production project, but also is very likely to obtain nylon patent secrets.

Matsumoto personally feels that the credibility of this information is still very high, first of all, Miwako's ability and loyalty do not need to be doubted, the last Jerry incident has proved it, and there was no accident when she saw her mother this time, which shows that Miwako can still be trusted. Second, it is this Jimmy Dupont that he has also investigated, he is indeed a member of the Dupont family, and he has a very good relationship with Downing, mainly because this playboy is too high-profile, although he didn't stay in Tokyo for a few days, but many people know what he tossed, especially Jiro Morimura, who was responsible for introducing him to the girl, once described this pervert in great detail, according to his words. I've never seen an American so colorful......

Third, DuPont's strategy of replacing raw materials and freight with labor is also a trick that he greatly appreciates for getting the best of both worlds. It not only successfully used the cheap and efficient labor force in Japan to complete the labor-intensive projects of rough processing that it needed, but also successfully avoided the disadvantages of not being able to build factories in Japan due to policy reasons and being interfered by the military department, after all, Tangning's factories produced all military supplies, so the military department could not interfere, and finally obtained a part of the profits, and at the same time, Tangning could not refuse such preferential conditions. It's like killing multiple birds with one stone, and the left and right are all the same.

After such a pleasant cooperation, coupled with Jimmy's old friend, mediated it. Downing and DuPont agreed on a new partnership plan, which Matsumoto felt was very logical and there was nothing to doubt.

The only thing that made Matsumoto a little depressed was that Tangning's offer was too high. That's a million dollars. And it is hundreds of thousands higher than other factories, and such a large amount of money is not something he can call the shots.

So Matsumoto approached the director Endo Hohito to discuss the matter, and after listening to Matsumoto's report, Endo Hohito frowned and said: "One million dollars, this is not a small amount, Matsumoto, I think it is better to wait until the board of directors to discuss this matter the day after tomorrow before making a decision." ”

Matsumoto hurriedly waved his hand and said, "By all means, we have spent a lot of money to obtain this information. Now only we at Mitsubishi should know, and I don't believe the board members. But our Mitsubishi tree is making a big move, and there must be spies from other forces around the directors, and if this information is leaked, then we will be in big trouble. If you have to go to the board, you can do it, but you can only talk about this project, and you must not mention the new partnership between DuPont and Downing. ”

Endo said angrily: "If you don't talk about this confidential information, do you think this million-dollar plan may pass?" ”

Matsumoto was stunned when he heard this, and then defended: "President, I know that the chance of passing like this is very low, but we Mitsubishi really can't miss this opportunity again." To say something that shouldn't be said, when I suggested cooperating with Downing, everyone didn't think about it, and they all felt that Downing couldn't develop at all, and it was impossible to pose a threat to our Mitsubishi. But let's take a look at the current Tangning, what has become of it, if we injected capital at the beginning, how could we still spend so much effort to spy on his intelligence now, how could we let that guy in Qingshan take such a big advantage.

It's not that I'm alarmist, now with our Mitsubishi situation, it's really urgent, and if we sit back and eat like this, if we fall apart, Mitsubishi's future is unimaginable, unless the United States can relax sanctions on Japan and Mitsubishi within five years, otherwise we Mitsubishi really have no future, but is this situation possible?

At present, Downing's sale of the nylon factory is the best opportunity, not only to save the country and recover the decline of Mitsubishi's dismemberment, but also to take the opportunity to get the secret of the nylon patent. ”

After listening to Matsumoto's slightly excited narration, Endo Yasuhito was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Matsumoto, I can understand your mood and feelings for Mitsubishi, but you also know that although our Mitsubishi has a lot of assets, the shelves are too big, there are too many personnel, and now they have been dismembered and suppressed, so we must strive to be cautious and not make mistakes in every step." Well, do you really have that much confidence in this information? ”

Matsumoto said in a deep voice: "If you want to say 100% sure, then I definitely don't, but I believe that before the incident, even Tang Ning himself may not be 100% sure." But judging from the current status of Miwako, the cooperation process between Downing and the DuPont family, the close relationship between Downing and Jimmy, etc., the accuracy of this information is still very high, take a step back, even if there is really something wrong with this plan, at least this nylon factory is still ours, and now the output of the nylon factory and the popularity of the products, this is all public, not to mention anything else, only by nylon stockings, our investment will definitely be able to earn back, it is just a matter of time. Moreover, how can you do business without taking risks? A business that is not risky at all is not profitable! ”

Endo Yasuhito pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "That's it, Matsumoto, you give me a week, and I will personally go to a few elders to discuss this matter, during which I will use my personal reputation to ensure that the information will not be leaked, and then I will give you an answer?" ”

Matsumoto smiled bitterly: "Lord Grown, it's not that I can't trust you or urge you, I really don't have this time, two days later, Tang Ning will announce the auction news, and the auction will start in five days, a week's time is not realistic at all!" (To be continued......)
