Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 566 Benefit Exchange

"Five years later, an event that had a profound impact on the Huaxia Iron and Steel Industry occurred. In late January 5, the Ministry of Metallurgy made it clear that Shanghai Baoshan Iron and Steel Works would be built in Shanghai, mainly by importing technical equipment from Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation. After After more than a year of preparation, investigation and negotiation, on March 1977, 1, CNTIC and Nippon Steel signed the "Agreement on the Construction of Shanghai Baoshan Iron and Steel General Plant" in Beijing. When Baosteel was constructed, Japanese companies were building Siege of the city, the period when the Japanese economy was in full swing. At that time, China was also in a state of doing everything possible to revive the economy." Zhou Jiangnan said in a calm and authentic tone.It seems to be talking about a story from a long time ago.

"On June 1978, 6, CNTIC signed an equipment order contract with Japan's Nippon Steel, Chaoyang Trading Co., Ltd., and Sany Enterprise Co., Ltd., marking that Baosteel's construction entered a substantive stage. At this time, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Taiwan has a large number of trade contacts and political ties, and was identified as a "non-friendly trading company" by the Chinese government. Therefore, in the initial stage of the construction of Shanghai Baosteel, it did not appear publicly in the Chinese mainland. Nippon Steel cooperated to become Baosteel's equipment supplier. In fact, what is little known is that Mitsui Property Management is also an industry of the Mitsui consortium, as are Toshiba and Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, but they are just different sons and grandchildren from the same school!"

Mitsui smiled politely, and said: "Secretary Zhou knows the Mitsui consortium quite well... There are really not many such officials in China..."

"The Baosteel project has greatly stimulated Japan's national economy." Zhou Jiangnan lamented. "Toshio Sochi, then chairman of the Keidanren and president of the Mitsui consortium Toshiba Corporation, once estimated that if Japan helped Huaxia build a steel complex like Baosteel, then Japan's steel industry, machinery manufacturing and related supporting industries would be greatly improved. Driven by it, Japan's gross national product may increase by 2%. This figure is extremely astonishing!"

At this point, Zhou Jiangnan smiled wryly, seemingly full of helplessness and depression, and said: "However, the entry of the Mitsui consortium has also laid the groundwork for future difficulties in the Huaxia steel industry. For example, Japan's advanced steel production equipment cannot To digest the low-grade iron ore in China, Baosteel can only choose to import high-grade iron ore from Australia and Brazil after completion. In order to meet the needs of large-scale import of iron ore, Shanghai Baosteel’s construction plan also includes our Now we are talking about the ports and supporting facilities that can berth more than [-] tons of ore ships, and the affiliated companies of the Mitsui consortium have also become the beneficiaries of these projects.”

"This chess is very well played..." Zhou Jiangnan sighed.

Mitsui Fuka did not expect Zhou Jiangnan to see through such a sophisticated layout of the Mitsui Consortium. Indeed, there was a serious taste of conspiracy in it, and his face froze. He smiled awkwardly, as if joking: "Secretary Zhou, the current mainstream speech in China But reform and opening up... Secretary Zhou's remarks are a bit out of date..."

Zhou Jiangnan laughed, with pride and bleakness coexisting, and said: "As soon as I retired to the second-tier municipal party secretary, am I still afraid of people's words? After I retire, I dare not tell the truth anymore?"

Mitsui took a sip of mineral water and said: "Although Secretary Zhou has retired to the second line, your influence is not bad at all. Maybe you will come back to the front one day. After all, your rank and treatment are still there Let it go..."

"Hey! It's just a glass of wine to release the military power! It's normal to give three melons and two dates to eat." Zhou Jiangnan looked open-minded.Then, his tone became bleak, and he said: "China's political struggle is inherently cruel, and I am willing to gamble and admit defeat. Wuhou made such a big mess for me in Hong Kong, causing a Huaxin company to lose hundreds of billions. I was liquidated. The central government did not punish me for the death penalty, and I am satisfied!"

"Secretary Zhou has deep roots in Huaxia, and if he pulls it, his whole body will be affected. The other party should think twice." Mitsui comforted Zhou Jiangnan.

"Anyway, Mr. Mitsui, you can't deny that the economic activities of the Mitsui consortium in the mainland are not purely economic activities. They are seriously suspected of manipulating the market, aren't they?" Zhou Jiangnan said with a smile.

"Haha. Secretary Zhou's gaze is like a torch. If I keep it secret, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Secretary Zhou?" Mitsui said with a deep smile.

"Haha, not bad. Young man, you are much more frank than your father. I think our negotiation today is half successful." Zhou Jiangnan said with a smile.

"Hehe, thank you Secretary Zhou for your compliment. In fact, Secretary Zhou, Ming people don't do secret things. I also like to communicate with each other honestly, which is more efficient. Let me put it this way, let me speak bluntly. I hope Secretary Zhou will not be offended. Think it’s the juniors who don’t know how to be polite.” Mitsui laid the groundwork with a deep smile.Then he looked at Zhou Jiangnan with burning eyes, and said, "Tell me, how can you agree to me? Let the project of this wharf be successfully approved? There are conditions, just mention it, and I will definitely meet it."

"Hehe, good. Then I'll say it." Zhou Jiangnan said with a smile.Then, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said: "The condition is very simple, very simple, kill a person, okay?"

"Haha, murder? To be honest, killing is not difficult for the Mitsui consortium. At the top of economic competition, the highest stage of commercial wars, economic wars, in fact, have reached a cruel and primitive state. Killing, buying, spying , Manipulating politicians and manipulating legislation are very common. Here, there is no business ethics, and business ethics has always been done for employees, stakeholders and ordinary people. The ultimate goal is to maximize the interests of business and shareholders. Pursue." Mitsui said with a deep smile.Really, for the Mitsui Consortium, killing people is really the easiest thing.

Once, Mitsui & Co., a subsidiary of the Mitsui Consortium, wanted to provide public water supply services to a country in Africa. This kind of public relations service is free, referring to facilities. All water pipes and purification equipment are provided free of charge. However, the purpose of the Mitsui Consortium In the later period, the provision of tap water was not free, and it was surprisingly expensive.In order to implement this plan in that African country, the Mitsui consortium supported the local civilian armed forces, overthrew the government that opposed the plan, and re-established a puppet government.Murder, assassination, murder, no matter how violent the murder is, is war cruel?For their benefit, the Mitsui consortium can launch a war involving millions of people at all costs.

"I think, you'd better ask who is going to kill before you say such things." Zhou Jiangnan said with a smile.

"Hmmm, who?" Mitsui Fuka didn't really care. In China, it's not like they haven't killed people before, and the number of them is not small.Moreover, many of them are very status and influential figures.

Of course, in order to achieve an economic goal, their first trick is often to buy, bribe, or bribe with sex. Often, these methods have already made those spineless Chinese officials raise their hands and surrender.Of course, there are also some Chinese officials who are not greedy enough, and their demands have exceeded Mitsui Fuka's cost of creating a murder case. Then, Mitsui Fuka will use the second method, the most primitive method, to murder.Inexpensive, but often very effective.

Calculated, there are more than 100 murder cases carried out by the Mitsui consortium in China, but none of them can be grasped by the public security organs in mainland China.

These cases are well disguised and look like accidental deaths.Of course, ordinary people in Huaxia are not aware of these cases. The principle of Huaxia's public security organs in that era was not to break or report, and to be stable and harmonious.

Therefore, in Mitsui Fuka's view, Zhou Jiangnan was nothing more than killing a handful of political opponents, and they were nothing more than some officials at the city hall level. This is easy for the Mitsui Consortium.At the provincial and ministerial level, in Mitsui Fuka's view, even if the Mitsui Consortium has the strength, Zhou Jiangnan may not have the courage.

Therefore, Mitsui asked very casually, as if trying to kill a chicken, without any pressure.

"This person is a young man named Xia Xiaoluo."

Zhou Jiangnan squinted his eyes and smiled, but his eyes were looking at Mitsui Fuka vigilantly.He wanted to see the psychological pressure this incident had brought to Mitsui Fuka, and then he had to prepare corresponding bargaining chips.

"Cough cough..."

Mitsui Fuka, who has always been gentle and well mannered, let out a violent cough, bent down, tears were about to come out.

Zhou Jiangnan suddenly had a bad feeling. I'm afraid that he didn't have enough bargaining chips. The wharf project with a cost of 10 billion yuan was not enough for Mitsui Fuka to make this decision.Because, he keenly captured that the moment he heard Xia Xiaoluo's name, there was a trace of fear in Mitsui Shen's eyes. It was a kind of fear that went deep into the bone marrow, like meeting a ghost in the dark.

Mitsui coughed deeply for a long time, and finally straightened up. He took out a tissue and wiped his tears and mouth. He avoided Zhou Jiangnan and looked at the sky, as if there was something interesting on it. Then he turned his head and looked at the sky. Zhou Jiangnan smiled embarrassingly with a dignified face, and said, "Secretary Zhou, you have created a problem for my nephew..."

"Why, have you heard of this person?" Zhou Jiangnan decided to test it out first. If Mitsui Shen didn't know Xia Xiaoluo's details, he would not be afraid to give Mitsui Fuka the impression that Xia Xiaoluo is a character that is easy to deal with. Let them connect with Liang Zi first, and even, he hoped that Xia Xiaoluo would annoy the Mitsui Consortium. In this case, the Mitsui Consortium would have a direct conflict with him.Now, as long as Xia Xiaoluo is eliminated, no matter who does it, Zhou Jiangnan is happy to see it succeed.

"Hehe, you know, Japan's Asahi Shimbun Group, the Mitsui Foundation also has a certain share in it. Let's put it this way, the Asahi Shimbun is equivalent to the Mitsui Foundation's intelligence group, and they even act as part of the nature of a research institution." Mitsui Shen Frowning, he and Zhou Jiangnan sat under a parasol and lazily sat on the bench.After a pause, he said: "Actually, a long time ago, around the winter of 1990, when Xia Xiaoluo went to the capital to participate in a literary competition, we had already paid attention to this boy."

This point surprised Zhou Jiangnan.After all, Xia Xiaoluo's temporary exposure was in a financial war between Hong Kong and the five major families. He did not expect that in 1990, the Mitsui consortium had already started to pay attention to Xia Xiaoluo. Their intelligence agency was too scary .
