Chapter 847 Thirty Years Hedong, Thirty Years Hexi
Chapter 847 Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years in Hexi
Thinking of the cooperation of the Su family, Takehiko Ito's expression looked a little melancholy.
Sitting in the car, he sighed and said with emotion: "Koichi, in the past ten years, the development speed of our Japanese economy has been relatively lagging behind, so the strength of several top families, including our Ito family, has shrunk to some extent.
And the follow-up is weak..."
Tanaka Koichi hurriedly asked: "Sir, President, Japan's development rate was once leading the world in the decades after the war. Why can't it keep up in the past ten years?"
Takehiko Ito regretfully said: "There are many reasons for this lag in economic development. First, it is because Japan's domestic resources and land have always been very scarce; secondly, Japan has not made major innovations in the Internet and high-tech fields in recent years.
....."
Speaking, Takehiko Ito continued with emotion: "You see, many Japanese companies that had advantages in various fields more than ten years ago have gradually lost their original advantages over the years;"
"Look at the past companies like Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and Toshiba. They were all famous all over the world. Back then, Sony's color TVs were the best in the world and were sold all over the world; Sony Ericsson's mobile phones were also
The home appliances of Panasonic and Hitachi, and the semiconductors of Toshiba are all world-renowned and world-renowned, but what about now? They are all gradually declining!"
"More than half of the world's TVs are produced in China, which are cheap, affordable and cost-effective. The world's mobile phones are divided into two parts. Apple in the United States accounts for a large part, and the rest is made up of China's Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo and Oppo.
, what’s the matter with Japanese mobile phones? Even South Korea’s Samsung is no longer glorious and has long been decadent!”
Tanaka Koichi couldn't help but sigh: "President, you are right, Japan has indeed completely lost many of its traditional advantages, especially in electronic products..."
Takehiko Ito sighed: "Not just electronic products? In addition, Japan's steel industry was once the top in the world. Even Americans had to look up to our special steels. However, because of the long-term fraud scandal of Kobe Steel,
, and plummeted!"
“Originally, Japan’s Shinkansen technology was the best in the world, and our high-speed rail technology was invented by us, and our strength was unparalleled in the world. But who would have thought that China’s high-speed rail would actually come from behind, so that our Japanese high-speed rail technology, and the high-speed rail technology of Germany and France, are all inferior to those of Germany and France.
Reduced to the second rate in the world, Japan's Shinkansen also lost a large number of overseas markets..."
Tanaka Koichi also kept sighing: "Our Ito family holds different proportions of shares in the companies you mentioned. They are lonely, and our assets have also shrunk. This is indeed a very serious problem...
.”
Takehiko Ito hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel and said: "Not only that, but the most important thing is that our young people in Japan are seriously lacking in creativity as a whole!"
“Looking at China over the years, a large number of world-class Internet companies have been born, such as Tencent, Alibaba, Toutiao, JD.com and Pinduoduo, as well as DJI drones, which account for more than 70% of the world’s drone market.
On the other hand, in Japan, there has not been an influential Internet company born in these years! If we continue to develop like this, we will lose all advantages!"
Tanaka Hiroshi nodded: "In contrast, China's top families, as all walks of life in China continue to develop and progress, their wealth and influence are also constantly increasing, they now have the ability to directly challenge Europe and the United States.
I don’t take Japanese companies seriously at all.”
"That's it." Takehiko Ito said with melancholy: "Before, they were still chasing us, but in the blink of an eye, they surpassed us and chased the United States, but we were left far behind by them.
So much so that if we want to make a breakthrough in business, we have to please the Chinese family. This is in line with the old Chinese saying, thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi...
.”
Speaking of this, Takehiko Ito said seriously: "It is precisely because we have been stagnant and China has been developing rapidly that we now need to be firmly tied to China's top families. This cooperation with the Su family will be of great help to
For us, it is of great significance and cannot be lost.”
Tanaka Koichi nodded hurriedly and blurted out: "President, please rest assured, I will do my best!"
Japan's economy has been sluggish in recent years.
As Japan's top chaebol, the Ito family's strength is constantly being weakened.
Sharing the same confusion as them, there is another large family in Japan, the Takahashi family.
Both families are now actively seeking breakthrough points, so they all place their hopes on China's top families.
As the top family in China, the Su family's influence has been continuously increasing in recent years, and with the rapid development of China's economy, the Su family's strength has also been increasing dramatically.
The Su family's focus in the past few years has been on maintaining and consolidating the domestic market. After consolidating the status of the first family in the country, it has only been in the past two years that it has begun to turn its attention overseas.
Therefore, in recent years, many Japanese families and chaebols are eager to develop in-depth cooperation with the Su family.
In the past ten years, China's import and export trade has continued to grow, shipping demand has increased, and port construction and development have been rapid. China now accounts for seven of the top ten ports in the world in terms of throughput.
Today's global trade is very dependent on shipping. The vast majority of oil, ore and various goods rely on ocean transportation.
For example, oil in the entire East and Southeast Asia is almost transported to ports from the Middle East by giant tankers;
Iron ore throughout East and Southeast Asia also relies on a large number of giant cargo ships shipped from Australia and Brazil.
The Su family has been operating port business for many years and has its own industries and shares in major domestic ports. Now it is preparing to build the largest shipping company in Asia and build the largest shipping fleet in Asia, which can just match the resources of the domestic ports they have laid out.
Complementary.
In order to build the largest shipping fleet in Asia, the Su family not only invested heavily themselves, but also prepared to cooperate deeply with consortiums from Japan and South Korea, giving them a certain share and allowing them to participate deeply.
The main reason why we want to win over the Japanese and Korean consortiums is that Japan and South Korea are both developed countries with very large shipping demand. Moreover, South Korea's Busan Port, Japan's Tokyo Port, and Yokohama Port are all long-established large ports in Asia.
If the Su family can take the resources of these ports into its hands, then the shipping company headed by the Su family will be able to control the shipping lifeline of the entire East Asia to a certain extent, and the profit margins in the future will be huge.
The Japanese and Korean consortiums were extremely excited about the news. They all hoped to reach cooperation with the Su family and then board the Su family's ship.
In Japan alone, there are at least a dozen families and financial groups that hope to cooperate with the Su family.
Among them, the most powerful ones are the Ito family and the Takahashi family!
