Chapter 475: Exchange of Benefits
With an unexpected condition, in exchange for the promise of the Kuhara family behind Nissan, Shirakawa Kaede did not stop acting.
The family relationship behind Nissan is extremely complex, and the Kuhara family is one of the more influential families.
Another family that has a great influence on Nissan and Hitachi is the Ayukawa family, but Shirakawa Kaede is not the target of their actions.
This hard bone will be handed over to the Kuhara family, with the long-standing marriage relationship between the two of them, the Jiuhara family is much better than Shirakawa Kaede.
Besides, the reason why Shirakawa Kaede agreed to Kuhara Yu's conditions, isn't this the purpose?
However, for the sake of safety, Shirakawa Kaede is also preparing to attack another family behind Nissan.
In August, Shirakawa Holdings Building.
"Fujita-san, I've been working hard for you at the Mainichi Shimbun recently."
"President Shirakawa is too polite, this is the duty of a contemptible person.
But under your management, the Mainichi Shimbun is getting more and more vibrant. ”
"That's also thanks to the previous care of the Fujita family, otherwise it's hard to say what the result will be.
Fujita-san, please don't be polite, just sit casually. ”
In the office, Kaede Shirakawa warmly greeted the middle-aged man in front of him, named Akihiko Fujita, who is also a senior adviser to the Mainichi Shimbun.
Just listen to the name, Akihiko Fujita comes from the Fujita family, and they are also one of the families behind Nissan and Hitachi.
When Yoshisuke Ayukawa founded Nissan and Hitachi, both the Kuhara family and the Fujita family gave a lot of support.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Ayukawa, Kuhara, and Fujita are the three families behind Nissan and Hitachi.
At the same time, these three families married each other and sent adopted sons to each other, and the relationship can be traced back more than 100 years.
As long as they agree to sell Fuji Heavy Industries' shares, Nissan's opinion will be completely unanimous.
As for others, such as the Beidao family and the Mitsui family, because of their age and limited investment, their influence is not great.
So when Shirakawa Kaede was researching the data, the first thing he aimed at was these three.
In addition, to his surprise, he had actually been dealing with the Fujita family for a long time.
For example, the "Mainichi Shimbun", which was acquired at the beginning, was also one of the original shareholders of the Fujita family.
The reason why the Fujita family agreed to sell the Mainichi Shimbun was due to the deterioration of its own business situation.
In addition, the Fujita family also declined a lot compared to before, and at that time, the Fujita family was in urgent need of funds to turn over several major clubs within the Fujita group.
The so-called Fujita Group, or Fujita Chaebol, has also been brilliant, involving many industries such as civil engineering, mining, electric railway, electric power, finance, textiles, and journalism.
However, due to the split and reorganization after the war, as well as management problems, only the more traditional industries such as mining, civil engineering, and metal processing have been retained.
The sale of Mainichi Shirakawa to Kaede Shirakawa was a landmark event for the Fujita family's official retirement from journalism.
But after all, it's a chaebol, and Shirakawa Kaede also takes care of some feelings in the handling of many things.
For example, Akihiko Fujita, who used to be the vice president of the Mainichi Shimbun, still serves as a senior adviser.
In this way, it can stabilize people's hearts, and secondly, it can also maintain a good relationship with everyone.
Of course, this is just an idle job, and Akihiko Fujita really works at Fujita Gumi.
It was also because of this relationship that Shirakawa Kaede invited Akihiko Fujita over.
Don't look at him under the "Mainichi Shimbun", but Shirakawa Kaede will not treat him as a subordinate employee.
On the contrary, in terms of attitude, Shirakawa Kaede is more polite than before.
Fujita Akihiko vaguely knew what Shirakawa Kaede was looking for him today.
After all, there have been some rumors about Fuji Heavy Industries recently.
But speculation is speculation, after Fujita Akihiko sat down, he didn't take the lead in speaking, he was waiting for Shirakawa Kaede to explain his intentions.
"Fujita-san, I'm sure you've heard about Fuji Heavy Industries lately.
I'll tell you the truth, the contemptible do have some interest in this.
When I was very young, I saw cars running on the road, and I thought to myself that it would be nice to have a car of my own when I grew up.
Now this wish has been realized, but when I realized that I could further participate in the production of automobiles, my heart became ready to move after calming down. ”
After that, Shirakawa Kaede smiled very self-deprecatingly, "So today, for this reason, the contemptible people also specially bothered Fujita-san." ”
It's been a week since the last time I met with the Kuhara family, and according to Shirakawa Kaede's estimates, there should have been some news from Nissan.
And sure enough, after listening to Shirakawa Kaede's explanation, Fujita Akihiko did not show a look of surprise.
Although this matter has not yet been put on the table, Hiroshi Kuhara has actually been angry with Fujita Akihiko in private.
It's just that Akihiko Fujita is still a little hesitant about the final decision.
Although the Fujita family is one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Nissan and Hitachi, he also has his own family chaebol.
Don't forget what is the main business of the Fujita gumi now? Mining & Metal Processing.
Whether it is Nissan or Fuji Heavy Industries, a considerable part of the metal materials such as steel used in them come from the Fujita Group.
And if Nissan gives up its stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, will the Fujita gumi be able to keep the business from Fuji Heavy Industries in the future?
Fujita Akihiko has no bottom in his heart, although the Fujita family and Shirakawa Holdings have already intersected.
But who can guarantee that the other party will continue to use the steel of the Fujita group, after all, there are so many neon chaebol families, and there are countless metal processing.
With the intricate relationship between the chaebol families, who knows if Shirakawa Holdings has a good relationship with the steel industry.
In the final analysis, it is still profit, after all, Fuji Heavy Industries' losses affect Nissan at most. After Nissan and then spread to the Fujita family, it has actually been weakened a lot.
However, the money that the Fujita group made from Fuji Heavy Industries did not need to go through the shareholders' meeting to share the profits, and it all fell into the Fujita family's own pocket.
The lesser of two evils, after careful comparison in the heart. Akihiko Fujita prefers to continue to take a stake in Fuji Heavy Industries to ensure that his business does not suffer any losses.
It's just that because the close relationship of the Kuhara family has been lobbying him, Fujita Akihiko has never made up his mind.
But today, Shirakawa Kaede took the initiative to come to the door, and Fujita Akihiko instantly had a little more scheming in his heart.
"Shirakawa-san's sincerity to industry has long been heard of by contemptible.
To be honest, Fuji Heavy Industries handed over to the Shirakawa family, the Fujita family has no opinion at all.
However, the current situation of Fujita-gumi is not optimistic, and Fuji Heavy Industries' previous business is the backbone of the family's economic gains.
So." Akihiko Fujita dragged out his voice.
"Please rest assured that the change of Fuji Heavy Industries' equity will not affect the cooperation between the two parties."
Before Fujita Akihiko finished speaking, Shirakawa Kaede made a promise with a very good eye.
This condition is not a matter for him at all, after all, whose steel is not used?
Besides, Fuji Motors has used Fujita's steel for so many years, which shows that the performance indicators are also relatively reliable.
With Shirakawa Kaede's promise, Fujita Akihiko finally had a reassurance in his heart.
In this way, he agreed to sell the shares of Fuji Heavy Industries in the hands of Nissan, which not only sold the face of his old in-law Hisahara, but also befriended the Shirakawa family.
Tsk, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?
However, is this all Fujita Akihiko is all about? Of course not, he still wants to kill three birds with one stone.
So although Shirakawa Kaede made a promise, Fujita Akihiko did not immediately show a look of joy.
He coughed slightly, "Shirakawa-san can say this, and the contemptible person will be relieved."
However, I recently heard that the construction progress of the base station in Yamaguchi Prefecture in the southern part of the island of Honshu has been delayed. ”
Shirakawa Kaede raised his eyebrows secretly, "Because there are many mountainous areas, plus the rainy season."
Therefore, for safety reasons, the construction team decided to suspend the construction of the additional station. ”
Yamaguchi Prefecture is located in the southern part of Honshu Island, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and most summers are spent in violent storms.
And because there are many mountains and hills, mudslides are very easy to form during the rainy season.
Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the construction of the base station of United Communications is basically in a state of suspension in the local area.
But after listening to Shirakawa Kaede's introduction, Fujita Akihiko's eyes lit up.
"To tell you the truth, the Fujita gumi originated in Yamaguchi Prefecture, where the Fujita family was quite influential.
In addition, civil engineering and other businesses have always been the strength of the Fujita Group, and I believe that with the support of the Fujita Group, the construction of the base station of the joint communication will be steadily promoted as scheduled. ”
"But after all, there is a risk of natural disasters, so why not avoid climate factors?" Shirakawa Kaede was a little hesitant, he would rather slow down than be reckless.
"Please rest assured that the construction workers of the Fujita gumi are all from Yamaguchi Prefecture, and they are the most familiar with the local conditions.
It is not even boastful that except for Yamaguchi Prefecture, the climate of Shikoku Island is similar to that of Yamaguchi Prefecture, and the Fujita gumi are just as competent. ”
Knowing what he was worried about, Akihiko Fujita had already thought of a countermeasure.
Yamaguchi is the Fujita family's own land, so isn't it easy to get this done?
However, Fujita Akihiko is not satisfied with just one Yamaguchi Prefecture, and he also wants to win the Shikoku region across the Seto Inland Sea.
Under his burning gaze, Shirakawa Kaede thought for a while before slowly nodding in agreement.
"Okay, then the construction of the base station of joint communications in the Yamaguchi and Shikoku regions will be entrusted to the Fujita group."
"Please rest assured that the progress of the project will not delay the original plan of joint communications.
In addition, about Fuji Heavy Industries, we will see it in the next ten months! ”
Kuhara Katoda, Nissan will transfer shares to Shirakawa Holdings, which is almost a certainty.
Akihiko Fujita was confident that he could accomplish this, and it was another windfall to win the construction of the station in Yamaguchi Prefecture and the Shikoku region.
As an infrastructure project with government subsidies, there is too much oil and water in it.
If the operation is good, it will definitely be a windfall for the Fujita family.
And with the assurance of Akihiko Fujita, Shirakawa Kaede finally put his mind at ease.
"In this way, the contemptible people will wait for Fujita-san's good news."
Isn't the reason why he made an appointment to meet Akihiko Fujita today because of this sentence?
Although Fujita Akihiko is not the long house of the Fujita family, the other two brothers of his grandfather's generation are basically extinct.
In the end, Fujita Hikozaburo, who was the third, became the only descendant, so Fujita Akihiko also became the head of the Fujita group.
No, strictly speaking, his daddy Mitsuhiko Fujita is still alive.
However, because of his advanced age, although he has the name of director of the Fujita group, the real master is now the vice president Akihiko Fujita.
When his father kicks his legs, Fujita Akihiko will become the head of the family.
This is the reason why Shirakawa Kaede personally interviewed the vice president.
After a few more greetings, and waiting for the other party to say goodbye and leave, Shirakawa Kaede's recent planning was finally completed.
Let's see how Toshihiro-san Tajima convinces the Fuji Foundation.
Tsk, the transactions within the chaebol are really troublesome, and there are too many stakeholders involved.
Nissan, which holds only one of its shares, is involved in the three major chaebol families, and there are several other companies such as Yasuda and Nakajima, represented by Fuji Bank, Fuji Heavy Industries itself, and Industrial Bank, where there is still a game going on.
