Chapter 471: The Temptation of Heavy Industry
After showing off his financial resources slightly, Toshihiro Tajima, who was sitting opposite Shirakawa Kaede, coughed lightly and sent away the foreign girl in his arms.
"The name of the Shirakawa chaebol is worthy of the world's popularity, and today's contemptible people can be regarded as knowledge."
Seeing that Shirakawa Kaede still looked indifferent, Toshihiro Tajima knew that if he didn't say some meat play, he wouldn't get his promise further.
Coughing slightly, Toshihiro Tajima put on a serious look.
"Fuji Heavy Industries has been running a deficit of 30 billion yen for two consecutive years, and the situation this year is still not optimistic.
Both the Nakajima family and the Industrial Bank are under tremendous pressure. ”
Shirakawa Kaede looked at Toshihiro Tajima in shock, this is different from the financial report data disclosed by Fuji Heavy Industries every year.
After the financial settlement in March and April of each year, Fuji Heavy Industries said that its income and expenditure were basically balanced, and even if it did not lose more than 3 billion yen.
But now the president of the other party, San, told himself that the loss figure is ten times that of the financial report?!
Shirakawa Kaede almost thought that he had heard it wrong. The audacity of this fraud is inevitably too great.
Fuji Heavy Industries is a listed company, don't they know that financial fraud is to go in and step on the sewing machine?
Shirakawa Kaede turned his head to look at the Tajima-san with a normal face, and suddenly had some realization in his heart.
Even if financial fraud is discovered, so what? It's a big deal that the accountant commits suicide, and then the president bows and apologizes, isn't it over?
However, in any case, the huge losses of Fuji Heavy Industries in recent years are not a joke, and Shirakawa Kaede's face is also a little solemn.
Listening to what Toshihiro Tajima said just now, this situation started after the Plaza Agreement.
In other words, in the past two or three years, Fuji Heavy Industries has lost at least 890 billion yen.
It is no wonder that even the Industrial Bank is a little unbearable, and the bank's money is not blown by the wind, not to mention that they have used a large amount of money to lend money to the real estate industry.
"Shirakawa-san, what I just said came from my mouth and from Ru'er, please come back." Toshihiro Tajima hinted slightly with his eyes.
Shirakawa Kaede nodded, signaling that he didn't have to worry too much.
If this kind of information is revealed, it will be deadly.
However, Shirakawa Kaede will definitely be safe and sound, but it is difficult for others to say.
Of course, Shirakawa Kaede knows the rules, and he won't talk too much. Besides, Fuji Heavy Industries, he is still a little interested.
Seeing Shirakawa Kaede nodding, Toshihiro Tajima couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that he was right, and the ambitious head of the new chaebol is not without interest in heavy industry such as automobiles.
"So Shirakawa-san, what do you think about Fuji Motors.?" Although he knew that he was interested, Toshihiro Tajima still wanted to probe again.
"How is Tajima-san going to convince the Nakajima family and the Industrial Bank?" Bai Chuanfeng didn't have the time to fight with him, so he simply asked the key directly.
Although he is interested in Fuji Heavy Industries, he must also be agreed, otherwise there is nothing to say about wishful thinking.
Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's question, Toshihiro Tajima perked up. Sure enough, he is a man of action, and his vigorous and resolute style is indeed as the outside world says.
"Nakajima is not a problem with Industrial Bank, the key is to convince Nissan."
"Nissan?" Shirakawa Kaede was a little puzzled, why did it involve Nissan again.
Hey, suddenly he seemed to remember something, Shirakawa Electric and Fuji Motor also have cooperation.
Most of the models of their car's on-board CD players are supplied by Shirakawa Electric.
He also knew a little about Fuji Motors, which later became Subaru.
The composition of the shareholders behind it is very complex, in addition to Nakajima, Industrial Bank, Fuji Bank, Nissan Motor seems to have a stake, and even Isuzu has a stake.
"Nissan Motor has a 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, which is the result of 66 years of coordination by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry." Toshihiro Tajima explained the reason in one sentence.
"20% of the shares?" Bai Chuanfeng frowned, this stake is not low.
"Although Nissan owns a 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, they are not involved in the decision-making and operation of Fuji Heavy Industries.
As I said earlier, this is a product of the coordination of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and the story is somewhat complicated.
In short, Nissan had limited influence on Fuji Heavy Industries, but it would have taken some effort to convince them to sell their shares. ”
Toshihiro Tajima is well aware of the situation within Fuji Heavy Industries, and the intricate relationship between them is really easy for ordinary people to confuse.
And if Shirakawa Holdings wants to enter Fuji Heavy Industries, it is clear that Nissan's shares are the best choice.
Because they do not directly affect the shareholding of Nakajima and Industrial Bank, this is more like a directional equity transaction.
"So how does Tajima-san think he can convince Nissan to agree to sell his existing shares in Fuji Heavy Industries?"
Since the other party said so, then I must have a plan in my heart.
Toshihiro Tajima smiled proudly, "Fuji Motors has suffered huge losses for several years in a row, not to mention that the Nakajima family, Industrial Bank and the Yasuda family, who established Fuji Bank, are not satisfied.
Even the Ayukawa family, the Kuhara family and the Fujita family behind Nissan, are also dissatisfied. In addition, Nissan is now going all out on the 901 movement, and they are involved in too much energy and financial resources.
Fuji Motor's continuous losses have affected Nissan's own layout in the automobile industry. So for this burden, some people within Nissan are also inclined to abandon it. ”
Neon has many chaebols, and these chaebols are not isolated from each other and have no trade dealings. In fact, on the contrary, there is an intricate relationship between the different chaebols.
For example, Nissan Motor, as everyone knows, the founder behind him is Ayukawa Yoshisuke, and the world is also known as the Ayukawa chaebol.
But in fact, Nissan's original investors included the Kuhara family, the Fujita family, the Kaijima family, and the Mitsui family.
The most intimate family of Hisahara started with mining, also known as the Hisahara chaebol.
The name of the company that Ayukawa Yoshisuke founded at the beginning was called Hitachi Metals, is this name familiar?
That's right, it was Hitachi of Hitachi Manufacturing, and Hitachi Metals was slowly integrated into the Nissan Group later.
Initially, he worked in metal mining, then he started to make machinery, and then he entered the automobile industry.
Initially, he worked in metal mining, then he started to make machinery, and then he entered the automobile industry.
During this period, Hitachi Manufacturing was also established and opened with the support of Yoshisuke Ayukawa.
The founder of Hitachi Manufacturing that we see now is named Kodaira Langhei, but he was originally from Kuhara Mining.
is the same Kuhara family that funded Ayukawa Yoshisuke to establish Nissan, look at one Hitachi and one Nissan, the relationship between them is so complicated.
Looking at the present, Nissan and Hitachi have joined the Fuji consortium and become one of the six major chaebols of Neon.
There is not only one Yasuda family behind the Fuji chaebol, but also the Ayukawa family, the Kuhara family, and even the Mitsui family.
However, although Fuji Bank was renamed from Yasuda Bank, the Yasuda family's control over Fuji Bank is now minimal.
However, the Ayukawa family and the Kuhara family slowly became the core enterprises of the Fuji chaebol, but of course this is another story.
In short, although Nissan now holds a 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, it is a complex aggregate in its own right, and it is difficult to unify internal opinions.
In addition, although Fuji Heavy Industries has the name of Fuji, it has nothing to do with the Yasuda family, but the Nakajima family and Industrial Bank, which were merged, are the major shareholders behind the scenes.
After all, the Nakajima family is the founder of Fuji Heavy Industries, and before the name change, Fuji Heavy Industries was called Nakajima Flying Machinery Institute.
The current situation is that Fuji Motors has suffered huge losses, and the Nakajima family and Industrial Bank are very unhappy with the current leader, Toshihiro Tajima in front of Shirakawa Kaede.
Of course, this is normal pressure from the board of directors, and Toshihiro Tajima actually did a good job when he first took over Fuji Heavy Industries.
It's just that the continuous losses make the shareholders behind it a little unacceptable, and another very unhappy shareholder is Nissan Motor.
At this time, Nissan was concentrating on the 901 movement, and the so-called 901 movement was a goal that Nissan set for itself.
That is, to achieve the world's first Nissan technology by 90 years.
Nissan has comprehensively upgraded the engine, chassis, and suspension system for all of its vehicles.
The main reason why Nissan did this is that Toyota's successive victories have put a lot of pressure on it.
Whether in neon at home or abroad, Toyota's car sales are overwhelmed by Nissan.
You must know that Nissan has always been the leader in the past, but now it has been surpassed, not to mention, the gap is getting wider and wider.
So this generation of Nissan head Kumetoshi worked hard to catch up with Toyota and reproduce Nissan's former glory.
Kumetoon was already very disdainful of Fuji Motors, and now the latter's losses have exacerbated his dissatisfaction.
The money that used to be made on Fuji Motor has basically been lost in the past two years, and now it is necessary for Nissan Motor to fund it?
The money was given to Fuji Motors in this bottomless pit, so what about its own 901 movement?
Therefore, recently, Kumifeng has been considering the corresponding countermeasures, how to stop the loss in time.
It's just that there is still some hesitation within Nissan, and the Ayukawa family wants to wait a little longer, but the Kuhara family wants to throw it.
And the backers behind Kumeho are the Kuhara family, so for now, it is not impossible to convince Nissan to give up its stake in Fuji Heavy Industries.
After listening to Toshihiro Tajima's explanation, Kaede Shirakawa finally understood the extremely complex interests behind Fuji Heavy Industries.
The longer these chaebols live, the more closely their interests are involved.
In the case of a newly established chaebol like Shirakawa Holdings, the relationship at this time was not so complicated.
However, with the passage of time, it is almost certain that the interests of the Shirakawa chaebol and other chaebols will overlap in the future.
Far from it, the brand of the first persuasion silver is branded. Fujitsu, which is working closely with each other, has the possibility of going one step closer in the future.
There is also a Furukawa chaebol behind Fujitsu, and the negotiations between SIC and Mitsui are also smooth.
Less than ten years after careful calculation, the Shirakawa chaebol will have overlapping interests with the four consortia.
This is the neon characteristic, the chaebol family is in charge, there is competition with each other, but more of a crossover of interests.
Compared with competition, only by exchanging benefits with each other can we live longer and be tied deeper.
The family can also continue indefinitely, and in the eyes of the neon people, the continuation of the family is greater than everything.
Do you know what Shirakawa Holdings' first words to Shirakawa Kaede were when he joined Keidanren, when Eishiro Saito, the general manager of the financial world at the time, said to Shirakawa Kaede?
There must be no malicious competition between chaebols!
Normal business competition can have, such as product technology competition, marketing strategy competition, these are no problem.
But there can be no large-scale trade war, let alone hostile takeovers.
In the event of a violation, all the chaebols of the entire Keidanren Federation will be jointly sanctioned.
If it weren't for the Tianlong people, no one would be able to withstand such a target, and bankruptcy would be a matter of time.
That's why we see neon filled with chaebols, large and small, but all the time safe and sound with each other.
There are small chaebols in some places that can continue from the Meiji period to the present day, and there is a reason for that.
And the manifestation of the collective consciousness, the neon people brought it to the chaebol group as well.
Everyone must abide by the rules, and instead of competing with each other, it is better to bundle cooperation.
Mutual funding, cross-shareholding, and trade cooperation are the norm among chaebols.
If it weren't for this ban, Neon wouldn't have had the six major chaebols, as well as hundreds of local chaebols, so far.
It is more likely that the situation will be like a stick, and Samsung will dominate the family.
That is the ultimate perfection of the chaebol, the policy of controlling a country.
However, the neon chaebol is not vegetarian, and it may not be possible to manipulate the country, but it is still possible to manipulate politics.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the current Shirakawa Kaede, he is more concerned about Fuji Heavy Industries in front of him.
Thinking of this, Shirakawa Kaede looked at this nearly seventy-year-old man with burning eyes, but he was still playing very much Toshihiro Tajima.
