Chapter 1129 Visiting the Machine Tool Industry

The report above was about the Crown Princess, and what was reported was the fault of her engagement union in January, and then a long paragraph was full of criticism.

I don't know if it's because of this media.

At that joint press conference, Masako talked about her plans and ambitions.

But the Imperial Household Office and the old nobles who opposed her ignored the content of the conversation and criticized her for speaking for a full 9 minutes and 37 seconds, 28 seconds more than Deren!
Etiquette stipulates that the length of Masako's speech can only be half that of her husband's.

Therefore, this press conference also became the last chance for Masako to speak in public, and the Imperial Household Agency issued a ban from then on.

From then on, she never took the initiative to speak or speak impromptu in any public place, and she couldn't give up her stiff smile even for a second.

The newspaper also listed three groups opposing Masako.

It is a group composed of women from the Imperial Household Agency, the noble class, and graduates from Gakushuin School and University.

The Imperial Household Agency believes that Masako, who has lived abroad for many years, is not "Japanese" enough to abide by the tradition, not respectful and obedient enough, and has her own ideas.

To put it simply, it is too wild and difficult to control.

A reporter from the media said that these people usually meet with specific reporters in bars and coffee shops, and privately release information, such as vulgar stories about Masako's ex-boyfriend, and insinuations that her family is related to major pollution incidents.

Although those nobles have long lost their titles, they still have a very high social status.

In the past, these families were the only choices for royal brides and concubines, but seeing that the royal family actually got rid of it and married two commoner brides in a row, how could it be swallowed?
Contemptuously criticized Masako's behavior and appearance on TV and the media.

As for those women's teams, these people are either young royals or descendants of noble families.

In the newspapers, they listed the photos they thought were suitable to be crown princesses, and some people specially released photos of themselves in profile, showing that their buttocks were warped and they were good at giving birth.

In addition to these, there is Minoru Hamao, who has been a servant in the East Palace for many years, and one of the crown prince's main courtiers and important confidantes.

"I don't think she is discreet enough, overall, she is outspoken, not only said things that were not asked, but also behaved like an American, such as walking in front of men, which is what Westerners call 'ma'am priority'.

These behaviors may be accepted in the United States, but in Japan, she should behave more solemnly, otherwise she will not be a proper princess, and she is not even qualified to be a diplomat. "

Two-thirds of the sections on the first edition are all Masako's reports. It seems that this old classmate is having a very unsatisfactory life.

Because there are two kinds of families in Japan that people can never leave for a lifetime, that is, the underworld and the royal family.

Looking at the following sections, there are reports about house prices falling, or which company went bankrupt, where someone went bankrupt and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Su Chen despises these bankrupt small companies. Big companies don't go bankrupt easily, because big companies are easy to form groups, and the background is complicated.

There are Mitsui Enterprise Group, Mitsubishi Enterprise Group, Sumitomo Enterprise Group, Furong Enterprise Group, Sanhe Enterprise Group, and Yiquan Enterprise Group, which are known as the six major consortiums.

For example, Sony, as an associate member of the Mitsui Consortium, plays an important role in the Mitsui community of interests.

In the past few years, Sony tried to obtain a greater monopoly. It once appeared that it was free from the Mitsui consortium and chose to develop independently. However, due to strategic mistakes and the lack of alliance power, life was not very smooth.

This is not a story circulated in literary works in taverns and street stalls. When the chickens in the foot pot beat the rabbits, these financial groups tightened their belts to sponsor military expenditures.

Speaking of Mitsubishi alone, a large part of tanks, ships, fighter planes, and steel are provided by their family.

These consortiums have grown so big, which one is innocent?
For so many years, these people have always followed the path that you have me, and I have you. If a certain company goes bankrupt, it may just be that they don't want to operate these industries.

Or turn it over and let the next family take over.

According to the urgency of these players who live a good life, if a company wants to develop, it must choose to join a certain consortium and become a community of interests.

Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to develop, and there is no reason for others to give their resources to you. If there is any benefit, it must be given to the community of interests first.

……

Seeing that it was of no practical use after turning it over and over again, Su Chen put the newspaper on the trash can and continued to take people wandering around the streets of Tokyo.

Even SoftBank did not visit.

After all, he already knows which industries SoftBank will invest in, and there is absolutely no need to give Sun Zhengyi some of the money to earn.

Su Chen continued to take people to go shopping and eat in Tokyo, and he didn't care about other things for the time being. The drop in housing prices made Japanese people think that they had seen the dawn, and many companies were clinging to it, and they didn't want to sell it.

In addition to semiconductors, he wanted to buy Seiko industries.

After all, the Seiko of the small day is comparable to that of Germany.

If you can buy it, it is naturally the best thing.

But when it comes to ultra-high-precision machine tools, the Swiss ones are quite good. Although the price seems to be almost sky-high to others, Su Chen can't afford it.

The key point is that he intends to own such a manufacturer himself, instead of buying a piece of equipment for supply.

In the field of machine tools, I can't remember other names, but Hiben Yamazaki Mazak is well-known.

There are only a few hundred people in the headquarters, but it is the company with the best sales of machine tools in the world, and has won praises from many countries around the world.

Of course, it’s not that this company only has a few hundred people, but that they put their production bases overseas, which is very shrewd.

But if you look at it from a historical point of view, it is really difficult to find that few Japanese benzene machine tool companies have declared bankruptcy, and even if outsiders buy it with a lot of money, few people will sell it.

In addition to relying on their own consortiums in these small days, there is also their mode of operation, which is not like European and American companies. They adopt a life-long staff system.

Therefore, foreign investment in these companies is most likely to follow their way, otherwise they may make your company unable to continue.

After wandering around Tokyo for a few days, Su Chen followed Kong Liang and visited several large machine tool factories.

The first one he went to was Mazak, which he knew well, but there was only the headquarters here. When he visited, the other party was still very enthusiastic, thinking that he wanted to buy machine tools, and said that they did not have a factory in Japan.

Sure enough, Kong Liang thought that the boss was interested in this company, and without discussing it with Su Chen, he implicitly stated that he wanted to buy it.

As a result, Xiaotian's face froze instantly, and then he said politely: "Sorry, this is our ancestral industry. No matter how difficult life is, we will continue to stalemate, and the machine tool is not so much a product of our company as a product of our company. child."

They are almost a century-old company, and they are no longer interested in money.

Everyone has everyone's insistence. Perhaps Kong Liang was not the first to ask the other party if he wanted to sell, but he was not the last either.

Otherwise, the company would not have survived beyond 2010, and it would still be managed by the Yamazaki family.

After leaving Mazak, he went to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

This company has unique advantages different from other machine tool manufacturers, and has its own research institute and machine tool business department.

The business department can cooperate with the research institute to develop first-class machine tools suitable for all walks of life through the feedback information requirements of the products produced by Mitsubishi Group, so it is a special identity of both a manufacturer and a user.

Looking at the machine tools, even though Su Chen didn't understand engineering, he still drooled secretly, because machine tools are the mother of industry.

A few years ago, he wanted to move the aero engine to China, but in addition to the difficulty of the agreement between European and American countries, the other biggest problem was that the machine tool was not qualified.

Europe and the United States do not sell, and money is not easy to use.

Because of the agreement, many countries dare not fight Ying Jiang for a sum of money, especially the muscles exposed by Ying Jiang in the Gulf, so many countries dare not act rashly.

Otherwise, my rabbit would have imported all kinds of precision machine tools long ago.

After leaving Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, I went to Amada, Okuma, and Mori Seiki, several old machine tool companies.

Even if you don't buy equipment, the other party still greets you warmly.

After shopping around for a month, Mr. Su became ruthless. He bought a state-of-the-art machine from Switzerland, tried to get it back, and then arranged some people from a domestic machine tool factory to study in a German machine tool factory.

Then study the one that came in from Switzerland!
Besides, a lot of talents were recruited from Big Brother's territory back then, and with so many people gathered, it is hard to believe that a decent machine tool factory cannot be produced by tinkering.

After wandering around these companies, I just returned to the hotel in Tokyo, and before I fell asleep, I suddenly received a call from Takatoshi Ito.

"Mr. Su, an old classmate of yours wants to visit you through me..."
