Chapter 1673
Thinking of the Su family’s cooperation, Ito’s expression looked a little melancholic.
Sitting in the car, he sighed and said with emotion: “Koichi, in the past ten years, the speed of our national economy has been relatively slow, so the strength of several top families, including our Ito family, has shrunk somewhat. And the successor is weak…”
Hiroshi Tanaka hurriedly asked: “My President, We once led the world in its development speed in the decades after the war, why hasn’t it kept up with it in the past decade?”
Ito said with regret: “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 major innovations in the Internet and high-tech fields in recent years. …..”
With that, Ito Takehiko 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 in these years;”
“Look at the previous companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and Toshiba. They are all in the world. I think that Sony’s color TVs were the best in the world and sold all over the world. Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones were also World-renowned, Panasonic and Hitachi’s home appliances, and Toshiba’s semiconductors are all top-class in the world, but what about now? All are gradually declining!”
“Most of the TVs in the world are produced in China, which are cheap, affordable and cost-effective; the world’s mobile phones are divided into two parts, the United States’ Apple occupies a large part, and the remaining large part is China’s Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo. What about Japanese mobile phones? Even South Korea’s Samsung is absent, and it’s already decadent!”
Koichi Tanaka couldn’t help but feel frustrated: “Mr. President, you are right. We in Japan have indeed completely lost many traditional advantages, especially in electronic products…”
Ito sighed: “More than electronic products? In addition, Japan’s steel industry was once the world’s top, our special steel, even the Americans have to look up, but because Kobe Steel was exposed to a long-term fraud scandal. , And it plummeted!”
“Originally, Japan’s Shinkansen technology was the world’s best. High-speed rail technology was invented by us. The strength was unique in the world. But who would have thought that China’s high-speed rail would come to the top, so that our Japanese high-speed rail technology and the high-speed rail technology of Germany and France all Decreased into the second-rate in the world, Japan’s Shinkansen has also lost a lot of overseas markets…”
Koichi Tanaka also kept sighing: “We, the Ito family, hold different proportions of shares in the companies you mentioned. They are lonely, and our assets are shrinking. This is indeed a very serious problem… .”
Takehiko Ito hates 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!”
“Look at China in the past few 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 that account for more than 70% of the world’s drone market. In contrast, Japan has never had an influential Internet company in recent 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, their wealth and influence are also increasing. They now have the ability to directly challenge Europe and the United States. They don’t put Japanese companies in their eyes at all.”
“That’s it.” Ito said with melancholy: “Before, they were still chasing us. As a result, in the blink of an eye, they surpassed us and chased the United States, but we were left behind by them. In the back of our heads, so that we now want to make a breakthrough in business, we have to turn back to please the Chinese family. It really responds to the old Chinese saying, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi… .”
Speaking of this, Ito Takehiko seriously said: “Because we have been stagnating and China has been developing rapidly, we now need to be firmly tied to China’s top families. This time the Su family’s cooperation is right. For us, the significance is very important and should not be lost.”
Hiroshi Tanaka nodded in a hurry and blurted out: “President, please rest assured, I will definitely go all out!”
The Japanese economy has been sluggish in recent years.
Chapter 1674
As Japan’s top chaebol, the Ito family is constantly being weakened.
Also confused with them, there is another big family in Japan, the Takahashi family.
Both companies are now actively seeking breakthrough points, so they all pin their hopes on top Chinese families.
As the top family in China, the influence of the Su family has been continuously increasing in recent years, and with the rapid development of the Chinese economy, the strength of the Su family has also been soaring.
The focus of the Su family in the past few years has been on maintaining and consolidating the domestic market. After consolidating its position as the first family in China, it has only begun to turn its attention overseas in the past two years.
Therefore, in recent years, many Japanese families and chaebols are eager to develop in-depth cooperation with the Su family.
Over 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 extremely fast. Now, China accounts for seven of the world’s top ten ports in terms of throughput.
Today’s global trade relies very heavily on shipping. The vast majority of oil, ore and various goods rely on ocean transportation.
For example, the oil in entire East Asia and Southeast Asia is almost transported from the Middle East to ports by giant tankers;
Entire East Asia and Southeast Asia’s iron ore also depends on a large number of giant freighters, 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. It is now preparing to build Asia’s largest shipping company and build Asia’s largest shipping fleet, which can just match their domestic ports for resources Complementary.
In order to build the largest shipping fleet in Asia, the Su family not only invested heavily on their own, but also prepared in-depth cooperation with consortiums in Japan and South Korea, giving them a certain share and letting them participate in depth.
The reason for winning the consortium of Japan and South Korea is mainly because Japan and South Korea are both developed countries, and the demand for shipping is also very large. In addition, South Korea’s Busan Port, Japan’s Tokyo Port, and Yokohama Port are all established large ports in Asia.
If the Su family can also hold the resources of these ports, by that time, the shipping company headed by the Su family can control the lifeline of entire East Asia to a certain extent, and the future profit space will be huge.
The Japanese and South Korean consortiums are extremely excited about this news. They all hope to reach a cooperation with the Su family and then get on the boat of the Su family.
In Japan alone, there are at least a dozen families and consortia that hope to cooperate with the Su family.
Among them, the strongest ones are the Ito family and the Takahashi family!
