rebirth of change

Since the beginning of October, Nippon Steel Corporation has successively received notices from several large companies that they will temporarily stop purchasing raw materials needed for production from Nippon Steel Corporation.

Looking at the notification in front of him, Akiomimura, who has always seemed confident and capable, frowned. These customers who sent the notification together accounted for nearly 70.00% of Nippon Steel's product sales, especially the participation of several major automakers.Automobile manufacturers are large users of high-quality steel and an important source of profits for the company. This is equivalent to someone holding Nippon Steel's neck tightly with both hands. Let alone eating, it is very difficult to breathe.

Akiomimura was very puzzled, how could so many customers attack at the same time?In Japan, Nippon Steel is the largest company in the same industry and the one with the most advanced technology, but they are not the only ones. In addition, there are seven companies that produce the same or similar products as them.If these companies do not buy from Nippon Steel, they will undoubtedly turn to other companies. This will not only weaken the strength of Nippon Steel, but also cultivate more competitors for him.

At first, akiomimura looked for the reason from within himself, thinking that there was a problem with his own product, but after a detailed traceback, he did not find any problem with the product, nor did he find any collective offense to the customer, which made him even more confused.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Akiomimura had no choice but to ask the customer directly for the reason. These companies did not explain the reasons for terminating the purchase in the notices they sent.The result made him even more depressed. No one answered his questions at all, as if they had formed a united front. Akiomimura was going to visit the bosses of those companies, but was told that the bosses were not there, and he couldn't even see anyone.

On the one hand, it is difficult for these enterprises to explain why they do not purchase from Nippon Steel;In a word, they just have a non-cooperative attitude. If they offend others, they should be left to Matsuzaka Sara. He was originally the one who took the lead in this matter. Of course, the communication and coordination with Nippon Steel Corporation should be left to him.

Matsuzaka Sara didn't go to Akiomimura at the beginning, he is already a villain, so only the villain will do it to the end, he will wait until Akiomimura is really anxious, and then go out, and then the final decision will definitely be made.

In the eyes of some insiders, Matsuzaka Sara's character has been questioned. If this happened in China, then the hat of "traitor" may have been put on, and for the benefit of outsiders, he took advantage of his own people , No matter how you say it, it is not a glorious thing.

However, there are also some people who admire him for being courageous, responsible, and daring to take responsibility, especially in the face of major events, he does not hesitate his reputation, and is a person who can do great things.

In the world, all people and things are not absolute.Almost all are complex polyhedrons, and when viewed from different sides, different results are often obtained.Even our evaluation of many historical figures is like this. Some people say that Cao Cao is a great hero, while others say that he is a villain. It depends on the angle and position of the person who said this.

Oki just turned back angrily when he received the domestic news. He was too late to return to Australia at this moment.Other large consortiums that still have some goods for the time being collectively attack Nippon Steel, which is something that Hikari Oki can't figure out even more.What made his life even more difficult was that as soon as he returned to Japan, he was criticized by many people within the Mitsui Zaibatsu. The criticisms focused on two aspects.On the one hand, when he went to China, he failed to deal with the China Future Metallurgical Group, and could not get the rare earth raw materials they urgently needed.Second, he didn't get the Australian project in his hand, which caused many variables.

Da Muguang was so depressed that he didn't have anything to say, and Ye Tangsen didn't even have a good talk with him. Even if he had 72 ways to change, it wouldn't work.Besides, for the Australian project, the trouble lies with the Australians, and this is not completely under his control.

Depression, anger, helplessness, worry and anger all rushed into Oki Hikaru's mind, but he couldn't express it.If you blindly talk about the reason, it can only be considered incompetent, because the winners find a way, and only the losers make excuses.

Oki Hikaru could only go up to the leaders of the chaebol decision-making meeting devoutly and bow to apologize and admit his mistakes.Only in this way can we get everyone's forgiveness and continue to give opportunities.For this, we have to admire the Japanese, in terms of execution, they are indeed higher than us.Perhaps most of us think that we are very smart, so when we face a difficult situation, we will find thousands of objective reasons to justify ourselves. The spirit of daring to take responsibility is very important in Japanese culture. status.

In the anti-Japanese dramas we often see, Japanese military officers can criticize and slap their subordinates arbitrarily. This is not because they all have abusive tendencies, but they require everyone to have the courage and spirit to unconditionally bear their mistakes.Otherwise, Japan would not have defeated a large country with a population of 200 million with nearly 14 million Japanese troops at its peak, and it took [-] years to regain the country. There are also war participation and support from world powers.

"Mr. Oki, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is the core company of our consortium, and it assumes the responsibility of serving many key companies. In the past, your ability to handle affairs is obvious to all. It is not easy for Mitsui & Co., Ltd. to develop into this state in recent years. We believe that you can continue to make greater contributions to the consortium, please!", standing in front of Hikari Oki, Tomitsu Gori, who is over 80 years old, encouraged him with earnestness.

Domitsu Koli used to be the head of two large companies, Tokyo Shibaura Electric and Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries. After World War II, he developed these two companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy into the top [-] Japanese industries. High status.After retiring, he was elected as the top advisor of the consortium. In fact, he is the current top leader within the consortium.Although his eyebrows and hair are gray, he is still in good spirits and extremely intelligent.These experienced old guys who have experienced strong winds and langs are considered to be the important wealth of the consortium. At critical moments, their experience can often play a key role.

"Hay, thank you Mr. Tuguang, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations," Oki Mitsu, who is not young, stood upright, lowered his head, and said to Tuguang Gaoli in a full tone.

Hikaru Oki has been in charge of Mitsui & Co. for many years. His biggest achievement is that he has greatly expanded the company's market and influence in Australia, provided abundant and cheap raw material resources for the development of the consortium, and also made a lot of profits for the company.For him, while the consortium is dissatisfied, it is impossible to beat him to death with a stick. In fact, everyone still holds hope in him.

"At present, the production and export of our high-tech products have almost stagnated, and we can only rely on ordinary industrial products. Although in terms of profits, future-oriented high-tech products cannot exceed ordinary industrial products, but that is our hope for the future And the direction, therefore, the rare earths must be obtained no matter what. Before Matsuzaka Sara took the lead, several major consortiums jointly launched an attack on Nippon Steel. It is said that they can play the key to solving the problem. You should take time to meet Matsuzaka-kun Next, we can’t be left behind, if you need any support, just let me know, and I will coordinate.” After speaking slowly, Gori Tomitsu, who was holding a walking stick, returned to the comfortable single sofa and sat down , no longer speak.

Oki Hikaru originally planned to go back to Australia in a day or two after returning to China, but now it seems that he will not be able to go back for the time being.He couldn't refute what Tuguang Gaoli meant. Speaking of which, Tuguang Gaoli was already helping him.

"Hay, I know what to do," Hikari Oki nodded heavily again.

. . . . . .

This Mitsui high-level meeting was held in Matsusaka, which is the birthplace of the Mitsui consortium. More than 300 years ago, Mitsui Echigoya, the first Mitsui company, was founded here.Although more and more large company headquarters and business centers have moved to Tokyo and other big cities, there is a Mitsui Honkan, which resembles a Roman building, in Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo as the headquarters of Mitsui, but for traditional Japanese Speaking of Mitsui, some meetings of Mitsui will still be arranged in Matsusaka, in order to always remember Mitsui Koryo, the founder of Mitsui, and his spirit.

Mitsui Koryo once formulated the Ten Commandments, which is very famous.[-]. One branch is easy to break, but many branches tied together are difficult to break. You must live in harmony to strengthen your family fortune.Second, the total income of each company's operating income must be deducted from a certain amount of provident fund before it can be distributed to each company.Third, each company elects an elderly person to be the leader of everyone, and the heads of all divisions must obey his command.Fourth, the same race must never fight with each other.Fifth, extravagance is strictly prohibited and strict economy is practiced.Sixth, there are no weak soldiers under a famous general, we must pay attention to the use of capable people, and we should avoid complaints and complaints from subordinates.Seven, the family leader must carefully understand the big and small things of the whole family.Eighth, the young master of the same family should be treated the same as a shop assistant for a certain period of time, and let him do hard work under the shopkeeper and everyone, instead of being treated as a master at all.Nine, there must be awareness that business may not be successful.Ten, you should go to Shimazaki or a foreign country to do business.

In fact, these teachings have appeared similarly in the history of China, but due to various reasons, especially political reasons, we did not inherit them and formed a huge business family. For more than 300 years, the Mitsui people have passed these teachings down from generation to generation. In particular, he also stipulated that even if an incompetent person is the chief, he should sever relations with him and order him to become a monk.As a result, the Mitsui Consortium is a powerful corporate chaebol in the world. Perhaps, these are the source of Mitsui's continued strength.
