Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 369 Spying on Hitachi Manufacturing

'They're talking about workers' problems'

Akio Toyoda looked a little unhappy.

To say that at the beginning, he was only surprised when he learned that Carter and the old Carter had gone to China together.Then after a few days of contact, the friendly attitude shown in Carter's words is too obvious.

In Carter's own words, he is optimistic about that country and that market.
Akio Toyoda declined to comment on this statement.But even if he is not optimistic, he still chooses to wait and see, or to maintain the most basic respect.Perhaps to China, or perhaps to Carter?Or even the general public.

He has always been reluctant to use insulting words like "Xina (Japanese pronunciation, just understand)".After all, he is a person of status and self-cultivation. Using such words would lower his own grade, wouldn't he? !

Not to mention, it's easy to offend people unknowingly.like now
Akio Toyoda was a little worried about how to translate this conversation.After looking at Carter again, I heard him open his mouth and say:

"The kid from Ayukawa's family said that American workers are too restless. They are not as hard-working as the workers his grandfather once managed, and they worked more than 16 hours a day without complaining."

"Can you still have no complaints for more than 16 hours?! Are you Japanese workers so dick?"

Just listening to this translation by Akio Toyoda, Carter has not yet realized the problem.Just think that I heard it wrong, maybe it doesn’t mean that in Japanese pronunciation, but it’s unexpected, I was slapped in the face in the next second
"Of course not, it's Chinese workers. Here we are...well, the labor intensity during the war was also high, but not that exaggerated."

"During the war? Chinese workers? Did Nissan go to China?"

At first hearing, Carter was a little dazed:

Dongfeng Nissan, Carter is no stranger.But in memory, the earliest joint venture car company seems to be FAW-Volkswagen?Anyway, it must not be Dongfeng Nissan.

"Well, if it's Nippon Sangyo Co., Ltd., then I've been there! Nissan doesn't have one. The situation is a bit complicated. Nissan Co., Ltd. is the holding company of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. I just said that it was reorganized on the basis of the Kuhara family's mining company. I got it. There are also Hitachi Manufacturing, Nippon Mining and other companies under its umbrella. It changed its name in 27 years, and it was not until 33 years that Automobile Co., Ltd. was established.”

"However, after 31 years, the focus of the development of the generation of Ayukawa was transferred to China. In 37, the headquarters was moved there. When I heard the story told by Grandpa Eiji, I heard him say that the group of them at that time Everyone thinks Yoshisuke Ayukawa is crazy. I don’t know how this old man managed to set up a Manchurian Heavy Industry Development Corporation, and took over the heavy industry business of Manchurian Railway, and then”

"Class A war criminal?!"

Carter exclaimed, and when he heard the word "Manchuria", memories of visiting some museums in Northeast China began to emerge.Wait until the "Manchurian Railway". Good guy, one of the Puppet Manchukuo Gang of Five known as Tojo? !
"Hey, war criminals and non-war criminals are all history in the past"

"you put."

Carter, who subconsciously wanted to spit out, suddenly realized his current identity.

"History is hard to pass, Zhang Nan! Look at Germany. How did he die?"

"Ayukawa Yoshisuke? Acute pneumonia."

From Carter's reaction of forcing himself to calm down, Akio Toyoda saw a clue.He sighed and said:

"We ordinary people don't talk about politics. Whether it's right or wrong, it's history for me. I don't mean to say that what our ancestors did was right, it's just that this kind of injustice Didn’t your ancestors do the right thing?”

"When it comes to aggression, the Black Ships of Japan talked about genocide and the Indian massacre. How about we ignore those things? If you consider those historical factors, then international cooperation is a joke."

"Huh~ You're right, I don't want to think about that now. By the way, you just said that Hitachi Manufacturing is also from their Ayukawa family, right?"

Carter took a deep breath and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

This Nissan, I'm sure!
It doesn't matter if you say you are an angry youth, or a dog meddles in a mouse
Think about how a class-A war criminal like Ayukawa Yoshisuke could live to die of illness instead of being hanged or shot dead.Carter felt uncomfortable.Although it seems that dying of illness would be more painful than being shot and collapsed. But why let him live so long in vain? !

After all, he wanted to make a move when the Japanese economic bubble burst. Now that Ayukawa's family is caught, it can only be said that the old hatred adds new benefits.
If I don't do something about it, I will be sorry for my rebirth!
But before you even think about doing it, you have to.
"Come on, let's meet them!"

With a smile on his face again, Carter patted the historical materials about the "evil" of the American Auto Workers Union in his arms, and took the lead in walking towards the boy Ayukawa who was talking nonsense.
"Mr. Ayukawa is right. Even though I am an American, I still hate our workers' organizations! I don't do production all day long, and I just keep talking about treatment and good conditions, and I don't piss to see if they deserve it!"

"Hey, you're pretty interesting! But you're honest, if it wasn't for the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. I heard that Mr. Toyoda called us this time, would there be a way to solve this problem?"

Ayukawa turned his head and looked at Carter with interest.

As for the attitude, it’s not enthusiastic, it’s strange that the son of the Ayukawa chaebol flatters others so easily; it’s also not contemptuous, or even if it is contempt, it must be hidden!

If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, the Ayukawa family who is backed by the Yasuda Foundation will be stronger than Toyota, which is backed by Mitsui, but that is limited, isn't it?Besides, there are so many people in the world of utilitarianism, fighting and killing are always inferior
"That's right, I do have some ideas! You are all leaders in the younger generation of our Japanese auto industry. Now that the Ministry of International Trade and Industry has backstabbed first, I feel uncomfortable seeing my father's sad face every day. I often think, As juniors, what can we do for our family?"

Seeing that Carter was back to normal, Akio Toyoda glanced at Carter for the last time, took up the topic with a smile on his face, and introduced Carter:
"Thinking about it, I thought of this friend: Mr. Carter Black! The way to break our situation lies in him!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it!"

Somewhat similar to the situation of the Toyota family, the competitive pressure faced by these rich and juniors is not small.Even Kawashima, who is not considered a famous family. His children are more stressed, right? !
Soichiro Honda announced: The Honda family has given up the right to manage the company. It is true that the children of the family are not allowed to enter the Honda company, but the right to profit is still theirs!They are not so generous as to increase the shares of Honda they hold to themselves.

Soichiro might be okay when he was alive, but what about after he dies?Honda Hiroshi may not think about it because of his father's face, but what about his children?
What about yourself? ?
