Thinking of the Su family's cooperation, Ito Yuhiko's expression looked a little melancholy.
Sitting in the car, he let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "Koichi, in the past ten years, the development of our Japanese economy has been relatively lagging behind, so the strength of several top families including our Ito family has shrunk somewhat. And the follow-up is weak"
Koichi Tanaka hurriedly asked: "Sir, Japan once led the world in development speed in the decades after the war. Why can't it keep up in the past ten years?"
Ito Yuhiko said regretfully: "There are many reasons for this lag in economic development, firstly because Japan's local resources and land have been very scarce; secondly because Japan has not made great innovations in the Internet and high-tech fields over the years "
Speaking, Ito Yuhiko continued to sigh with emotion: "You see, many local Japanese companies that had advantages in various fields more than ten years ago have gradually lost their original advantages in these years;"
"Looking at Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Toshiba in the past, companies like Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Toshiba are all famous around the world. Back then, Sony's color TV was the best in the world, and it was sold all over the world; Sony Ericsson's mobile phones were also It is famous all over the world, home appliances from Panasonic and Hitachi, semiconductors from Toshiba are all top-level existences in the world, but now? All of them are 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 occupies a large part, and the rest is China's Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo and oppo , how can there be anything about Japanese mobile phones? Even South Korea¡¯s Samsung is not shining, it has long been decadent!¡±
Koichi Tanaka couldn't help but sigh: "Master Chairman, you are right, we in Japan have indeed completely lost many traditional advantages, especially in electronic products"
Takehiko Ito sighed: "It's not just electronic products? Besides, Japan's steel industry used to be the world's top. Our special steel products, even Americans have to look up, but because of Kobe Steel's long-term fraud scandal , and plummeted!"
"Originally, our Japan's Shinkansen technology was superior to the world. We invented the high-speed rail technology, and our strength was unmatched in the world. But who would have thought that the Huaxia high-speed rail would come from behind, so that our Japanese high-speed rail technology, Germany, and France's high-speed rail technology are all It has become second-rate in the world, and the Japanese Shinkansen has also lost a large number of overseas markets"
Koichi Tanaka 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 said bitterly: "Not only that, the most important thing is that our young people in Japan are seriously lacking in creativity as a whole!"
"Looking at China in recent years, a large number of world-class Internet companies have been born one after another, such as Tencent, Ali, 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 never been an influential Internet company born in these years! If we continue to develop like this, we will lose all our advantages!"
Hiroshi Tanaka nodded: "In contrast, the top families in China, with the continuous development and progress of all walks of life in China, their wealth and influence are also increasing, and they now have the ability to directly challenge Europe and the United States. Japanese companies are completely ignored.¡±
"That's it." Ito Yuhiko said full of melancholy: "In the past, they were still chasing us. As a result, in the blink of an eye, they overtook us and chased the United States. Instead, we were left far behind by them. So much so that we now want to make a breakthrough in business, and we have to turn it around to please Huaxia's family. It really echoes the old saying of Huaxia, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi"
Speaking of this, Ito Yuhiko said seriously: "Because we have been stagnant, and Huaxia has been developing rapidly, we now need to be firmly tied to Huaxia's top families. For us, it is of great significance and cannot be lost.¡±
Koichi Tanaka nodded hurriedly, and blurted out: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chairman, I will definitely do my best!"
Over the years, the Japanese economy has been sluggish.
As Japan's top chaebol, the Ito family's strength is constantly being weakened.
Having the same confusion as them, there is another big family in Japan, the Takahashi family.
Both of them are now actively seeking breakthroughs, so they all pin their hopes on the top Chinese families.
? As the top family in China, the Su family has grown up in recent yearsThe influence has been constantly increasing, and with the rapid development of China's economy, the strength of the Su family has also been increasing sharply.
In the past few years, the Su family focused on maintaining and consolidating the domestic market. After consolidating their status as the first family in the country, they began to turn their attention overseas in the past two years.
Therefore, in recent years, many Japanese families and chaebols are eager to have in-depth cooperation with the Su family.
In the past ten years, Huaxia's import and export trade has continued to grow, the demand for shipping has increased, and the speed of port construction and development has been extremely fast. Now, Huaxia accounts for seven of the top ten ports in the world in terms of throughput.
The current global trade is very dependent on shipping. Most of the oil, ore and various goods are transported by ocean.
For example, the oil in the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia is almost transported from the Middle East to the port by giant tankers;
And iron ore throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia also relies on a large number of giant freighters to be transported from Australia and Brazil.
The Su family has been in the 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. It just happens to be able to share resources with the domestic ports they have deployed. complementary.
In order to build the largest shipping fleet in Asia, the Su family not only invested a lot of money themselves, but also prepared to cooperate deeply with consortiums from Japan and South Korea, giving them a certain share and allowing them to participate in depth.
The reason why Japan and South Korea's consortia are drawn in is mainly because Japan and South Korea are both developed countries, and the shipping demand is also very large, and South Korea's Busan Port, Japan's Tokyo Port, and Yokohama Port are all large ports with established brands in Asia.
If the Su family can also hold the resources of these ports in their hands, at that time, the shipping company headed by the Su family can control the lifeline of the entire East Asian shipping to a certain extent, and the future profit margins will be huge.
The consortiums of Japan and South Korea are extremely excited about this news. They all hope to reach a cooperation with the Su family, and then get on the big boat of the Su family.
In Japan alone, there are at least a dozen families and financial groups that hope to cooperate with the Su family.
Among them, the strongest are the Ito family and the Takahashi family! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
