On the trip to the Mediterranean, Shirakawa Kaede originally planned to relax as a family for a while and take a good break.

However, because he met Toshihiro Tajima by chance, he accidentally learned about Fuji Heavy Industries, and he had to give up this plan.

Although things were a little sudden, Shirakawa Kaede also had to admit that Fuji Heavy Industries did make him feel excited.

If Shirakawa Holdings can get involved in the auto industry again, then the heritage of Shirakawa chaebol will become more veritable.

Electronic technology, chips, communications, finance, entertainment, software, these industries all have some asset-light flavor.

It's not that they're bad, but with the addition of heavy industries such as automobiles, the Shirakawa zaibatsu will have more influence on the political sphere.

Although Shirakawa Kaede has no plans to enter politics himself, he needs to think about the future generations of his family.

After Shirakawa Holdings gets involved in these industries, how many members or laborers will live on it that are directly related to it?

Conservative estimates of at least a few hundred thousand people, do you think it's an exaggeration?

No, this is already a minimum projection, do you know how many employees a Hitachi production has? 350,000 people!

Therefore, after Shirakawa Holdings won Fuji Heavy Industries, the labor force it can influence is hundreds of thousands, which is a conservative estimate.

If the development is good, it is not impossible to have millions of members in the future.

Thinking about the concept of millions, it is no exaggeration to say that even if the Shirakawa chaebol cannot be compared with the traditional six majors, it will not be much worse.

And in the eyes of some traditional old money, heavy industry is also a symbol of heritage.

Look at which of the six chaebols does not have its own heavy industry or automobile industry.

Even under the relatively young first persuasion silver, there is an Isuzu to make up the number.

Therefore, in the face of Fuji Heavy Industries, Shirakawa Kaede will have a heart-warming feeling.

So I thought about it for a long time at the Venetian Palace in Cannes, and the next day Shirakawa Kaede returned to Neon.

"Got something on your mind again?" On the private jet, Yuko Tanaka saw Shirakawa Kaede in a daze, and couldn't help but slowly sit next to him and ask softly.

When he came back to his senses and saw that it was her, Shirakawa Kaede took her hand and patted it gently, "It's okay, it's just distracted." ”

In this case, of course Yuko Tanaka would not believe it, she knew her husband too well.

"Xiao Feng, we had a great time on this Mediterranean vacation.

If the days go on like this, everyone will be satisfied.

So don't focus on your work and neglect your body. ”

To be honest, Yuko Tanaka had never dreamed of such a day before.

She didn't understand why Shirakawa Kaede was still thinking about how to grow the club for the rest of her life and even her children and grandchildren for the rest of her life.

This question is not only her, but many outsiders may also be confused.

However, the operation of the enterprise is also like sailing against the current, and if you do not advance, you will retreat.

Everyone is competing, and they are all thinking about how to sell their products to the world.

If Shirakawa Kaede doesn't want to forge ahead, he will only be satisfied with the current situation.

Over time, the entire Shirakawa Holdings may lose its sharpness, and a group that has lost its enterprising spirit will inevitably decline.

If you don't want the consortium you created to disappear after just a few decades, then Shirakawa Kaede needs to keep moving forward all the time.

The first is to lead the group forward, and the other is to set a good example for the people around him and his children.

Wait for the juniors to grow up and be ready to take over. At that time, maybe Shirakawa Kaede will rest and live a leisurely life in his own garden.

Tired? Perhaps, but he accepted the influence of Confucian culture, and he was destined to not be able to let go of the concept of home.

This may also be what later generations often call the Chinese patriarchal thinking, but this is not important, the important thing is that Shirakawa Kaede is still young, and he has not lost his fighting spirit.

In addition, due to the same cultural influence, neon is not the same here.

It's just that there is no way to explain these words to Yuko Tanaka, so Shirakawa Kaede smiled.

"That's what Yuko said, then think about it again, where will our family go next time."

"Hmm~" Yuko Tanaka nodded gently, and then began to add a happy worry to herself.

That's thinking about where to go for the next family mobilization? I've already been to Ouzhou, why don't you go to the United States?

Too many neon people in the United States, or go to Southeast Asia? Hey, why don't you draw a manga of your experiences along the way and publish them in Tokuma Shoten's magazine?

In the midst of Yuko Tanaka's various happiness entanglements, Kaede Shirakawa's Dassault falcon slowly landed at the neon Haneda International Airport.

Because all the formalities have been completed, Shirakawa Kaede is still a VIP member here, so their family has VIP access.

After settling them and the children into place, Shirakawa Kaede hurried to the Shirakawa Holdings Building in Minato Ward.

In the spring of this year, the Shirakawa Holdings Building, which had been under construction for three years, was officially put into use.

It is larger and taller than the Shirakawa Electric Building. However, the style is much more conservative, and it is a super office building that looks very regular.

Towering floors, neat and clean, glass curtain walls that reflect the white clouds in the sky. From a distance, they add a sense of majesty and grandeur to the Shirakawa Holdings Building.

Still near the top floor, Shirakawa Kaede has his own president's office.

Here he summoned his senior advisor, Hiroshi Arai, who was also a mentor and friend.

"Arai-san, from now on, collect all the information about Fuji Heavy Industries, the Fuji Foundation, and the Nissan Group.

The more detailed their background, the better, especially for the main holdings, and it's a good idea to have a clear diagram of the relationship. ”

"Huh?" Hiroshi Arai, who was called in a hurry, did not reverse for a while.

Kaede Shirakawa didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point, "Fuji Heavy Industries, our next target." ”

Then Shirakawa Kaede told Arai Yu about his encounter with Toshihiro Tajima in the Mediterranean.

After hearing about Fuji Heavy Industries' false financial reports and huge losses, Arai Yu couldn't help but gasp.

Although listed companies will do something on it in order to look good in their financial reports, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

But he dared to play like this, and it was the first time he had seen it.

Perhaps because the madness of the bubble made everyone forget that the company would still lose money, Fuji Heavy Industries' fake financial reports for two or three consecutive years did not arouse suspicion from the outside world.

If it is placed in normal times, this is definitely a shocking scandal of neon.

But now that the flowers are becoming more and more charming, everyone's attention is not on this at all.

Under the madness, chaos is abundant.

"Fuji Heavy Industries has lost a lot of money, so we have to find out the whole situation if we want to enter the market.

It includes Neon's domestic and foreign market assessments, as well as product competitiveness and future development trend assessments.

In short, the more detailed everything is, the better, and the faster the better to avoid long nights. ”

Although Shirakawa Kaede is very covetous of Fuji Heavy Industries, he doesn't want to be wronged.

Whether there is debt, internal assets and technology, these must be ascertained.

He didn't want to spend a huge amount of money on shares, but Fuji Heavy Industries was getting worse and worse.

Under the premise of having prospects and savings, Shirakawa Kaede will make a move.

After getting Shirakawa Kaede's order, Arai Yu was not ambiguous, and immediately began to arrange this matter.

In July, Kaede Shirakawa arrived at an izakaya called Matsuya early this morning, where he had two important guests.

This pine house is where Shirakawa Kaede often talks business with others, and whenever he needs a phone call, the owner of this place will close the door that day, and only entertain his guests.

There was no need for Shirakawa Kaede to explain anything, and when he saw him come in, the boss Matsumoto began to take care of himself in the kitchen.

He knows what Shirakawa Kaede likes to eat, and he also knows which dishes are more acceptable to guests.

In the private room, not long after Shirakawa Kaede sat down, he heard a conversation at the door.

Knowing that the person he had asked was coming, he got up and went out again as soon as he sat down.

"Kuhara-san and Kitano-san, I'm bothering the two of you today."

"Haha, Senior Brother Shirakawa is too polite, I just haven't drunk together for a long time, and today is the right time."

Kitano Takako took the lead in greeting Shirakawa Kaede, they were old acquaintances.

Kitano Takashi is Shirakawa Kaede's Meiji brother and a member of the Shimei Society.

He is also the president of Stanley Corporation, which supplies electronic components to Shirakawa Electric.

In addition, Shirakawa Holdings' LCD plant also has a 7% stake in Stanley.

When Shirakawa was able to enter the LCD panel industry, Stanley also gave great technical support at the beginning.

The reason why Shirakawa Kaede invited him today is actually for the people around Takako Kitano, Hiroshi Kuhara.

"Shirakawa-san's invitation, the contemptible people will definitely come. If nothing else, it is worth it to learn from Shirakawa-san. ”

"Haha~" Kitano Takakyu laughed.

"Kuhara-san, you're too polite. Hitachi has always been the object of contemptible learning, and as a senior, you say this, which is really a pain in the fall. ”

Shirakawa Kaede behaved very humbly, and his posture was also very low, after all, he was asking for others.

Hiroshi Hisahara, a descendant of the Hisahara chaebol, is now the president of Hitachi Home Appliances.

What he just said about learning from Shirakawa Kaede means that this year's financial report of Shirakawa Electric exceeds that of Hitachi Home Appliances.

Although it was a joke, Shirakawa Kaede still had to flatter a few words in return.

Everyone's personality is different, and who knows if you will meet someone with a weird temper.

Kuhara Yu was very satisfied with Shirakawa Kaede's humble attitude, and after a few pleasantries, they all happily sat down at the wine table.

"Shirakawa-san, your intention to come today, Kitano-san and Tajima-san have already told me.

I just want to be sure, are you really interested in Fuji Heavy Industries? ”

Unexpectedly, Yutaka Kuhara got straight to the point, without the slightest hint of sloppiness.

Shirakawa Kaede's eyes turned to Kitano Takashi on the other side, who nodded slightly to indicate that he had said everything.

"Kuhara-san won't tell you that the contemptible people have actually been interested in the automobile industry for a long time, but they have never found a suitable opportunity.

So as long as Nissan is considering selling its stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, please be sure to consider Shirakawa Holdings.

Of course, if Kuhara-san has any needs, please feel welcome. As long as he can, Shirakawa does everything he can. ”

Since the other party was straight to the point, Shirakawa Kaede was not verbose, and directly explained his intentions.

Although Hitachi Hiroshi is now in charge of Hitachi's home appliance business, don't forget what his surname is.

The Hisahara chaebol was a direct participant in the creation of Nissan and Hitachi, and was one of the founders.

With Nissan and Hitachi now becoming the core of the Fuji consortium, it is only natural that the weight of the Kuhara family is becoming more and more important.

In addition, Hiroshi Kuhara is the eldest man in the family, and his father, Mitsuo Kuhara, is the eldest son of Bonosuke Kuhara.

Who is Bonosuke Kuhara? It was the first generation of the Kuhara chaebol.

Therefore, Yu Kuhara in front of Shirakawa Kaede is an authentic descendant of the Kuhara family, and he is also a descendant of the descendant.

Don't look at him now, he is only the president of Hitachi Home Appliances, but his status in the family is not ordinary.

So in the face of Shirakawa Kaede's appeal, how will Hiroshi Kuhara respond?

After drinking two glasses of sake, Kuhara Yu slammed the glass on the table, making a crisp "ding" sound.

"It's not impossible for the Kuhara family to convince Nissan to give up the shares of Fuji Heavy Industries, but Shirakawa-san also has to agree to a condition."

"Kuhara-san, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but sit up straight.
