At the end of the 80s, Japan was caught in a financial cycle – with more and more money in hand, but not knowing how to spend it? They bought and bought everywhere, but they ended up making a wedding dress for Eagle Sauce.

By the nineties, Japan's development had reached its limit. In the two or three decades that followed, its GDP rose and fell, and nothing changed.

After the financial crisis, Japan's monetary policy tightened, and it didn't know how to invest. At that time, the only bright spot in the world's economic growth was very limited, one was South Korea, and the other was naturally a flower planter.

South Korea's economy boomed in the 90s and can move forward for another 30 years. However, its domestic market is limited, and it is actually in competition with Japan.

For example, in the shipbuilding industry, Korean companies beat Japanese companies to the ground, and finally worked with Chinese companies to the death.

Mitsui took the initiative to contact 'Holy Light' because 'Holy Light' was the only commercial entity in China with the characteristics of a modern enterprise at that time. Zhou Qingfeng didn't know how to operate, but let people who knew do it.

'Holy Light' didn't exist in the first place, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't care about making money or not. He doesn't have any burden on the business. He can allow anyone to give him advice, even if he is Japanese, and he can be an executive in the group.

Meritocracy, regardless of origin. Such an open-mindedness is rare in the world. So after going through some twists and turns, Mitsui still couldn't bear to lend money to the 'Holy Light'.

It's really hard to find a profit spot these days, and it's even harder to build an emerging market.

However, after Zhou Qingfeng had money in his hand, his appetite soared. He desperately wanted to spend the money, even to the point of desperation.

The $30 billion order was smashed to the point where it was difficult for the capitalists to resist the temptation. But compared with the annual import volume of hundreds of billions of dollars of chips in China, this is nothing at all.

In order to meet the needs of 'holy light', Mitsui pushed its Toshiba out - even after more than 20 years, Toshiba's annual turnover will be 30 billion US dollars. That's just turnover.

Toshiba is also greedy.

As Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturer and the second largest integrated electromechanical manufacturer, Toshiba's strength is undoubted, ranking first in the world.

It's just that Uncle Zhou's money is not as easy to make as he imagined, he is willing to spend money but does not spend money indiscriminately. Mitsui can't make $30 billion without giving something really good.

Similarly, there is no unanimity within the Mitsui consortium, and there are many old devils who are reluctant to sell semiconductor technology to China. Fujita, who is in his fifties, is one of them.

At the end of April, Holy Light decided to remove two nine-axis five-linkage machine tools from the Baltic Shipyard. At the beginning of May, the first machine tool was disassembled and airlifted to Shaanxi Daqin Machine Tool Factory for reassembly.

In order to get this machine tool, Daqin Machine Tool Factory, which has no foreign exchange and no money, had to transfer 51% of its shares to 'Shengguang'.

This is still 'Great Qin' begging for 'Holy Light' to accept it. Because it does not send, Shenyang, Dalian, Modu, Jinan, several large domestic machine tool factories want to send shares.

In the face of fierce competition, in order to get this machine tool, 'Daqin' even agreed to 'Holy Light' to carry out drastic reforms on itself - according to the fate of Tianyang Machinery Factory, this means that at least thousands of people will be fired.

But 'Daqin' is an experimental product launched by the ministry to do reform. Judging from Tianyang's experience, the reformed enterprises have been reborn.

Zhou Qingfeng was also unceremonious when he got the controlling stake, announcing that all the employees of the factory would be laid off and all positions would be re-recruited to the national ball. It's not just domestic personnel who come to apply, but also people from Damao Ermao and even Japan.

The wages of ordinary workers should be in the thousands, engineers should be raised to more than 3,000, and senior technicians should be in the tens of thousands. 'Holy Light' is famous enough, and many people want to join this group. The result was a fierce competition.

The reorganization of the 'Daqin' is still underway, but the BP-110s that were shipped to the 'Daqin' cannot be assembled. Engineer Maozi himself was not good at technology, and after repeated debugging, he had to ask the Japanese from the original factory to come.

This is a really good idea, Zhou Qingfeng is negotiating with Mitsui. He asked Yuki Watanabe to ask Toshiba, which belonged to Mitsui, to send machine tool installers.

So Ryuji Fujita, the deputy director of Toshiba's machine tool division, came with two assistants. This old devil in his fifties was not happy about this errand. As he thought, the best of the four BP-110s sold were broken.

Shaanxi is too far away from Tianyang, and it was an accident that BP-110S settled in 'Daqin'. 'Shengguang' doesn't have a machine tool factory in his hands at all, and he must find someone to undertake the nine-axis five-linkage when he gets it.

However, there are many domestic machine tool factories, but few are willing to hand over their controlling shares. The big-name machine tool factories had given Zhou Qingfeng a dismissal before, and this time they were reluctant to give 10% of the shares.

'Daqin' is because he can't get along, and he is full of debts like Tianyang Machinery Factory. After 'Shengguang' got the controlling stake, he had to repay hundreds of millions of corporate debts and make up for a few months' wages.

Zhou Qingfeng hated this kind of rotten state-owned enterprises, and he was ruthless in laying off employees. 'Holy Light' bought out the seniority and gave some severance pay to really send thousands of employees.

Many old workers feel that their skills are okay and should not be laid off. But what they get is often a few cold sentences: 'The knowledge is outdated, there is no room for improvement, and it is recommended to be retrenched'.

Fujita took the plane with two assistants to Hanzhong, where 'Daqin' was located, and happened to encounter hundreds of people blocking the door of the machine tool factory. The interpreter sent by the factory apologized to them repeatedly, and was very embarrassed to let the 'foreign friends' see such a situation.

"What are they doing?" Fujita sat in the Santana car sent by the city, his eyes swept out the window.

The translator got out of the car and drove the people at the gate of the factory to leave, and his attitude was very bad. He came back with a new smile, apologized again, and said, "It's some unemployed people." Our factory has recently competed for jobs and laid off thousands of workers in the previous department. ”

Hearing the word 'layoffs', Fujita had mixed feelings. When he first came to the mainland, he felt that the country was basically the same as the media reports, and it was very backward.

Fujita came out of the airport and looked at the road conditions, and then looked at the urban construction, which was no different from when Yuki Watanabe first arrived in Tianyang. He despised the people who were blocking the factory gates, but when he heard that they were unemployed, he was a little sympathetic.

The translator was still embarrassed and tried to explain: "These workers can't keep up with the times, their abilities are not good, their habits are poor, and they don't have a sense of responsibility." Our factory was damaged by them, and it can't be done if we don't cut it. ”

But this explanation made Fujita even more disdainful. In his view, the root cause of workers' poor ability is that management is not in place, and the managers themselves are not capable. But he didn't speak, just sneered.

The area of the 'Daqin' factory is quite large. There was a mess outside the factory gate, but when the 'Santana' drove into the factory, the environment changed greatly. The ground is clean, there are new plants planted on both sides of the road, and the factory building is being renovated.

"Hey, you're better here than you think." Fujita got out of the car and glanced around with a critical eye. I found that it was difficult to say anything else, but the sanitation in the factory was really good.

The translator was very pleased with this evaluation, and hurriedly continued: "This is all learned from your country." The management of the factory was transferred from Tianyang and received half a year of special enterprise management training.

They are all students of Vice President Yuki Watanabe, and they should have mastered some of the management of your country, and they should ask His Excellency Fujita for more advice. ”

Yu Watanabe? Traitor to Great Japan. He was just a small section leader before, and it was disgusting that he actually taught the essence of management to the enemy.

Fujita's face sank, and he scolded in his heart: "A few decades ago, I had to punish Yuten Watanabe." ”
