Kaede Shirakawa came to Chuo Ward to attend the Keidanren meeting this time, but it was actually the same old thing.

It is nothing more than statistics on the latest quarter, Shirakawa Electric's various losses in export trade.

In addition, if you have any good ideas within the group, you can also put them forward at the meeting and discuss them together.

However, when it comes to semiconductor sanctions and overseas trade, Shirakawa Kaede has nothing to do.

This kind of wrestling between countries is beyond his personal control.

Besides, Shirakawa Holdings has not grown to the point where it can influence national policies.

"Shirakawa-san, do you have any thoughts on the new round of sanctions in the United States?

As far as I know, your group's chips and export-oriented electronic products have been affected to a certain extent, right? ”

When Shirakawa Kaede and Sachiko Kamaike were sitting silently in the back row, preparing to be a transparent person, Eishiro Saito, the president of this Keidanren, suddenly Cue him.

Shirakawa Kaede looked left and right, and a large group of bad old men over fifty or sixty years old were silently looking here.

Alas, I was a young man, and I just wanted to be a transparent person.

However, you can't make soy sauce if you want to.

There was no way, he got up and bowed slightly to the surroundings before Shirakawa Kaede spoke.

"The business of SIC and Shirakawa Electric has really been affected to a certain extent, especially since the latter has suffered heavy losses since the 100% tariff was imposed."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people nodded in agreement. Everyone is engaged in industry, and they can empathize with this.

"As for opinions, Saito-san, you're too contemptible. With your predecessors in charge, the neon economy will not be chaotic. ”

cough~ Although this Shirakawa junior is younger, his temperament is still stable. It is also worthy of being the queen of the Chinese nationality, and the cultivation of family education shows the heritage everywhere.

Bai Chuanfeng's sycophant made the faces of everyone present look a lot better.

They are all decision-makers of many clubs under the old chaebol, and in terms of seniority, they are veritable seniors in the financial world.

There are more than 1,000 corporate members within Keidanren, but only a few dozen people can actually attend the meeting.

Among them, the descendants of the six major chaebols account for more than half, and the rest are emerging chaebols such as Shirakawa Holdings or other local chaebols.

To be honest, with Shirakawa Kaede's qualifications, if it weren't for the fact that he was the founder of Shirakawa Holdings, such a meeting would not have been able to withstand him anyway.

Keidanren is an organization that can directly participate in the formulation of the Constitution. Looking at the neon as a whole, this is almost already the role played by the chess players who hold the power.

Therefore, Shirakawa Kaede appeared here at a young age, and it is normal for some old stubbornness to feel uncomfortable.

After all, it took them decades to get to where they are today, but Shirakawa Kaede is already on an equal footing with them when he is only in his twenties, and he doesn't have any emotions in his heart.

However, Shirakawa Kaede's humble answer did not satisfy Eishiro Saito.

"Shirakawa-san, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Today, everyone speaks freely, after all, 100% tariffs are related to every club here. ”

Well? Shirakawa Kaede blinked, a little enlightened in his heart.

It seems that Lao Mi's sanctions have put a lot of pressure on the government and the Keidanlian, and they have all asked their young people for advice, and they should indeed be forced into a corner.

The headache of being forced is certain, but Eishiro Saito really wants to hear the opinion of Kaede Shirakawa.

He has been following Shirakawa Holdings for a long time, especially Shirakawa Electric, whose performance in the last two years has been a textbook demonstration.

After the Plaza Agreement was signed, Shirakawa Electric began to slow down the pace of expansion, and at that time he heard that Shirakawa Electric was seeking the possibility of overseas OEM.

At first, Eishiro Saito also laughed it off, and he also thought that the other party was overreacting.

But what happened next was much more than everyone expected.

And Shirakawa Electric was able to survive the various exchange rate wars unharmed, which also proved that the original rainy day was a clever move.

Since then, the change of origin to circumvent the sanctions of the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, and the factory-free operation mode of SIC have given Eishiro Saito a great inspiration.

In addition, he recently heard that Shirakawa Holdings is making internal adjustments, which is likely to be related to the future industrial layout and transformation.

Although the specific details are not known for the time being, Eishiro Saito has reason to believe that Shirakawa Kaede is by no means untargeted.

And don't look at this young man just crying poor, in fact, Shirakawa Electric didn't suffer much loss at all.

A young man with a very forward-looking vision and a clumsy way to hide, Eishiro Saito can only sigh that the establishment of the Shirakawa chaebol is not based on luck.

It's not just a person who stands on the tide of the times and can become a trendsetter.

Under the encouraging gaze of the chief carp of the financial world, Shirakawa Kaede was slightly positive.

"The Plaza Agreement, the MOSS Agreement, the Semiconductor Agreement, and now the trade sanctions, in fact, the goal of the United States has always been very clear."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Shirakawa Kaede, waiting for his further explanation.

"There is only one thing that the United States wants, and that is the market.

There is only one problem that the United States wants to solve, and that is the trade deficit or fiscal deficit. ”

In just two sentences, the essence of the problem was revealed, and everyone's faces became serious after hearing it.

Many people may understand this truth, but not many can sort out their thoughts.

There are even many people who think that Mi Guo is just for neon.

"But both of these things have to do with neon, or you can treat them as a problem.

That is, in the future global trade market, will it be the leader of the United States or Neon?

In the field of cutting-edge technology and high value-added automobile industry, is the future about the United States or neon? ”

After the two questions were asked, everyone's faces could no longer be described as serious, they were simply solemn.

Do you still need to ask such a question, many people already have the answer in their hearts.

Even Shirakawa Kaede was already hinting at the answer when he asked the question.

Put rice and neon together, and ask who listens to whom, even a three-year-old knows how to answer.

"Yaga! Neon doesn't sit in the first position in force, isn't it okay to turn to seek business first now?

The rice guy deceives people too much! I'm a dignified Showa boy and a thief."

"Shut up! Okuda! ”

A man in his forties got up angrily and wanted to shout out the famous sentence with his own buff.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Eishiro Saito and the others.

"Humph!" The big man was incompetent and furious for a few seconds, still indignant.

"Shirakawa-san, do you have any suggestions for this situation?" Eishiro Saito became more and more polite.

"I don't dare to take it as a suggestion, your seniors have seen too many more storms than your juniors.

But the United States has to do this, so we can only see what we want to grasp, and what can we give up? ”

To put it bluntly, Shirakawa Kaede is not optimistic about the hard bar with the United States, selectively grasping key industries, and appropriately giving up some interests, which may make the situation develop for the better.

After all, your chain is in the hands of others, and it can still be turned upside down.

Of course, what to grasp and what to give up is not something that Shirakawa Kaede can decide.

There are people from all walks of life here, and some of them will offend people if they say something.

After being silent for a long time, Eishiro Saito looked at Shirakawa Kaede again, "In addition to these, does Shirakawa-san have any other suggestions?" ”

Obviously, Eishiro Saito also understood the deep meaning of this, and in order not to make it difficult for him, Eishiro Saito also quickly changed the topic.

"The younger generation feels that it is better to keep a low profile and not let themselves be so prominent in foreign trade."

"Oh?" Saito's eyes lit up, "Shirakawa-san, please elaborate." ”

After pondering for two seconds, Shirakawa Kaede slowly spoke. Although in recent years, Neon has been the number one trade surplus country in the United States.

But in fact, Germany, which ranks second, and Yizhou, which follows it, are only more than $10 billion less than us.

Just drop it a little bit and let the neon come in second place, and it won't be so noticeable. ”

Don't look at Neon's surplus with the United States of four or five billion dollars, in fact, the second and third smoothness is not a lot.

It's strange that the neon is too prominent, and there is no one who ranks first every year and doesn't even share the firepower.

Taking a step or two back once in a while isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It's just that at this point, Shirakawa Kaede was silent again.

Again, as before, there are some things that cannot be said explicitly.

"Thank you for your hard work," Eishiro Saito bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your attention." Kaede Shirakawa returned the favor.

After nodding their heads in tacit agreement, Eishiro Saito began to move on to the next agenda item of the meeting, which was the Toshiba incident.

Tsk, what do you say about this? Or Toshiba died on his own.

Shirakawa Kaede is careful in purchasing local parts in his hometown, so you might as well sell high-precision machine tools directly.

Do you really think that the whip in the hand of Mi Guo's father doesn't hit people? And it has been sold since 83, someone reported it in 85, and it was investigated and filed in 87.

Originally, the relationship between Neon and the United States was tense enough because of trade issues, but as soon as the Toshiba incident came out, it directly worsened.

Nakasone, who was harmed, personally went to the United States to apologize, and Toshiba also spent 100 million yen to publish a full-page "confession advertisement" in more than 50 newspapers in the United States.

Now Toshiba's various business losses in the United States are not to mention, and whether Toshiba Group can survive is a question.

Toshiba Group president, who had also negotiated chip licensing with Kaede Shirakawa, Shoichi Sabona, also had to resign.

To this end, the Neon government urgently amended the Export Control Law in July.

Because of this incident, the United States vetoed Fujitsu's acquisition of Fairchild.

And in the semiconductor field, there seem to be signs of neon again, which are the impact of the Toshiba incident on the neon industry.

At this time, Keidanren mentioned the Toshiba incident here, firstly, to warn the congress that it must do a good job of self-control in terms of exports.

In addition, I hope that everyone can brainstorm to help Toshiba overcome this difficult time, after all, this is also one of the purposes of Keidanren's establishment.

In Shirakawa Kaede's opinion, there is actually nothing to say, if there is no sovereignty, then admit your mistake honestly.

It is only right to go to the father of the United States to cry a few words, and then mobilize Toshiba's local forces in the United States to lobby the Congress to reduce the punishment.

After all, the attitude of the United States is the key to this matter, and the internal influence of Neon here is secondary.

"Without sovereignty, it's really overstretched everywhere~" Shirakawa Kaede in the back row sighed softly.

"Huh?" Sachiko Kamaike, who was sitting next to him, looked at him suspiciously without hearing clearly.

"It's nothing," Shirakawa Kaede shook his head, "When the discussion is over, let's go outside first, and then go meet the other guest." ”

"Hai" Sachiko Kabuike also felt that the atmosphere here was too serious, and her palms were sweaty after less than an hour.

Seeing what she was writing with her head down again, the corners of Bai Chuanfeng's mouth were slightly hooked, he was really a demure person.
