Later in the evening, Nao Ishihara took the initiative to meet Hiroki Ishihara at the last private members-only club in Roppongi, Minato-ku.

As soon as Nao Ishihara saw him sit down, he got straight to the point and said, "Do you want to know who took the initiative to tell your mother about that?" ”

Hiroki Ishihara leaned his back on the back of the leather couch, looked at his sister sitting in front of him and said, "Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious." ”

Nao Ishihara said with a chuckle, "You mean you're talking about big brother." ”

Hiroki Ishihara said bluntly: "I completely trust my eldest brother's personality. Even if he knew, he wouldn't do such a thing as suing his mother behind his back. ”

Nao Ishihara pretended to be confused and said, "Then I don't understand what you mean?" ”

Hiroki Ishihara is skin smiled and said, "Don't play any dumb riddles between our sisters and brothers." It's not like I didn't know, but this time my father asked me to accompany him to the year-end meeting of the Japan Keidanren, and I am afraid that the person who was most upset in my heart was Rie.

The purpose of telling my mother about me in private was nothing more than to make me lose the Keidanren who accompanied my father to the year-end meeting. ”

Nao Ishihara saw that his analysis was correct: "Do you need my help?" ”

Hiroki Ishihara has long understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch. What's more, my sister will definitely not help in vain.

Hiroki Ishihara replied, "No need." I'll take care of my own affairs. ”

Ishihara Nao smiled and said, "Don't refuse me with a mouthful!" Sometimes, communication between women and women can achieve twice the result with half the effort than communication between men and women.

Besides, Mom has put some restraints on you. Even if you don't take that one or what kind of school flower you want, you still have to be afraid of your mother. ”

Hiroki Ishihara suddenly laughed and said, "You asked me to come here alone, you won't just talk about this inconsequential matter!" ”

Ishihara Nao saw that he had said everything to this part, so he stopped beating around the bush and said, "Last time, you took the initiative to join forces with me, but I didn't directly agree to you. This time, I took the initiative to find you to join forces, you won't and won't agree to me, right? ”

Hiroki Ishihara instantly put away the smile on his face and said, "Sister, don't you think you're too greedy?" You don't just want to become a director of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, you want that 10% stake!

Even if you marry into the Iwasaki family in the future, you will only be controlled by others, not by others. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is not only one of the core businesses of the Mitsubishi Group, but also one of the most important assets of the Iwasaki family.

I believe that not only will your husband Iwasaki Takumi be jealous of you, but the entire Iwasaki family will more or less give you three points. Who gives you a firm hold on your hands? ”

Nao Ishihara smiled, "I just like to deal with smart people like you. I want you to help me get this one, not too much! ”

Hiroki Ishihara didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "Excessive, extremely excessive." It's not unclear to you that Dad spent a lot of money to get a piece of the cake.

Now, this is the stuff of the Ishihara family. How could it be that as your future dowry, it would be easy to return to the Iwasaki family? ”

Nao Ishihara couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face and said, "So, there is nothing to talk about between our sister and brother?" ”

Ishihara Hiroki said: "To put it nicely, you are the most typical girl extrovert." To put it mildly, it is to eat inside and out.

Even if Rie is obviously deliberately trying to rectify me this time, it is also an infighting that belongs to our Ishihara family. No matter how openly and secretly we fight, we didn't send the things of the Ishihara family to people with foreign surnames. ”

Nao Ishihara disagreed at all: "I wasn't forced by my father to do this. If my father had been able to entrust me with a heavy responsibility, I would never have played Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' idea. ”

Hiroki Ishihara pointed out, "Don't blame your father for your disappointment. ”

Ishihara Nao frowned and asked, "Give me a happy word, do you want to join forces with me?" ”

Hiroki Ishihara immediately said, "Don't." ”

Nao Ishihara frightened: "If you don't join forces with me, then I'll go find Hideki or Naoki." ”

Hiroki Ishihara finally understood why her father didn't entrust her with a heavy responsibility, not because she was a daughter, but because she was really not good in terms of comprehensive ability.

It's just a whimsical thing. If a country wants to be truly strong, it must not be without industry, especially heavy industry.

Whether it was Japan back then, or South Korea later, why they would mobilize the whole country to develop heavy industry, it is not for nothing.

In the same way, whether a chaebol can really affect a country is not as simple as having money, but in holding the country's most important means of production.

The Ishihara family started out in the sake brewing industry, that is, from light industry. After my father's hard work and struggle for the past twenty or thirty years, he began to set foot in the field of heavy industry.

Hiroki Ishihara hit the nail on the head and said: "Whether it's the eldest brother or the second brother, they will not join forces with you." Because of your condition, no one will agree to it at all. I'll go a little further.

Not to mention Japan, even if it is a neighboring country across the sea from us, Chinese mainland, which has not yet fully industrialized, spent decades before and after, invested a large amount of money, and a large number of relevant talents in order to develop or gamble on a small category of heavy industry, that is, polyethylene in the chemical energy category, and finally succeeded. ”

He paused a little at this point, and then continued: "How many key technologies and secrets are hidden in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that must not be leaked?

The manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time invested in this before and after are too much. The reason why our Ishihara family was able to get a piece of the pie was not easy.

Dad's next step in the layout of heavy industry is the idea of hitting the steel factory. In this way, the iron ore enters the steel mill to be refined into steel.

The most important is special steel. This is also one of the top secrets of technology belonging to Japan. Then, various forged steel products are sent to factories such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Finally, it is necessary to manufacture a variety of related finished products. This enables a complete production chain from upstream to downstream in heavy industry.

No one can be left behind. I dare to boldly say that the focus of my father's decision-making in the second half of his life will fall on heavy industry. This is a huge strategic decision-making direction. ”
