Chapter 621 Teachings to the God of Reconstruction in Japan (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  The winding forest road is still two kilometers away from the Sumitomo family's manor. On both sides of the road, there are already bodyguards in black suits with solemn expressions.

   World-class luxury cars slowly drove towards the Sumitomo family.

  Chu Huan sat in the car with the excited Tanaka Anhui, and they were also slowly driving towards the Sumitomo family.

   "Don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal party!"

  Chu Huan sat in the car and preached with a smile.

Chu Huan also thought about bringing Anhui Tanaka to such an occasion. Since Tanaka Anhui's identity has changed in the future, these people in Japan should know that they have such a woman in Japan. If Tian Zhong Anhui really gave birth to some sons for herself, then those who attended the banquet today would basically become Chu Huan's in-laws in the future.

  Tanaka Anhui's excited mood cannot be relieved by Chu Huan's words of comfort. As a girl who grew up in Japan, she naturally knows who the guests at the dinner party tonight are.

Before Chu Huan told himself that she would no longer manage the Palace Club, and now he brought him to such an occasion, even if Chu Huan didn't tell Tanaka Anhui his plan, Tanaka Anhui vaguely guessed something Chu Huan's thoughts.

  Mother is more expensive than child!

  At this time, Anhui Tanaka had already figured it out, no matter what, she would give birth to a son for Chu Huan.

   "Yes, I see!" Yasuhiko Tanaka nodded cautiously.

   Soon the car that Chu Huan was riding in came to the parking lot of the Sumitomo Family Manor, where there were special staff responsible for reception. After Chu Huan and Tanaka Anhui got off the car, people from the Sumitomo Family immediately came to receive them.

   "Chu Sang, hello, I am Sumitomo Hisaka, the father of Sumitomo Ryoko, and you are very welcome to come to our Sumitomo family dinner today!"

  Sumitomo Hisaka, the cousin of the current owner of Sumitomo Yoshio Sumitomo, works in Sumitomo Corporation. His position is not high. He is just a middle-level leader, but his status as a Sumitomo family makes him different from ordinary Japanese office workers.

  After the situation of Chen Yalu and Sumitomo Ryoko was confirmed by Chu Huan and Sumitomo Yoshio, Chu Huan asked Gao Kai to investigate the situation of Sumitomo Jiujing.

   "Hello!" Chu Huan also shook hands with Sumitomo Jiujing with a smile.

  The place has been decorated as magnificent as a palace, and there are many guests tonight, men's tuxedos and women's evening dresses.

  They shuttled back and forth among the crowd with wine glasses in their hands, and they stopped to chat with familiar friends.

These people are actually in the same circle, and usually participate in such banquets, so they naturally know each other, so when Chu Huan and Tanaka Anhui came here, they came in under the guidance of Sumitomo Jiujing , instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

  They all know Xiangjiang Chu Huan, but few of them have seen Chu Huan in person.

  So few people recognized Chu Huan.

  Sumitomo Yoshio, who was chatting with an elderly man, saw Chu Huan coming in, and immediately showed a smile on his face. He first apologized to the old man, and then came to Chu Huan's side with a hearty laugh.

   "Chu Sang, I'm very sorry that I couldn't greet you in person!"

  Sumitomo Yoshio said with a smile.

  Chu Huan said politely: "Mr. Sumitomo is too polite, I can understand this occasion!"

  Sumitomo Yoshio noticed Tanaka Anhui beside Chu Huan. He didn't know who Tanaka Anhui was, but he knew that there was a Japanese girl who came to Osaka with Chu Huan this time.

  At this time, he asked Chu Huan curiously: "Who is this beautiful lady?"

  Chu Huan replied with a smile: "This is my friend in Japan, Anhui Tanaka!"

  At this time, Yasuke Tanaka put away the excitement in her heart, and said to Sumitomo Yoshio with a decent smile: "Mr. Sumitomo, hello!"

   "So it's Ms. Tanaka, welcome!"

  Sumitomo Yoshio showed a smile on his face and preached enthusiastically.

Now that Chu Huan and the Sumitomo family have reached a cooperation intention, coupled with the marriage system between the Japanese chaebols, although Sumitomo Yoshio has reached a consensus with Chu Huan to match Chen Yalu and Sumitomo Ryoko into a couple, but For Yoshio Sumitomo.

   This is not enough at all. If you can choose, Sumitomo Yoshio would prefer that Chu Huan be with a girl from the Sumitomo family.

  But Chu Huan is already married, and the Sumitomo family has the pride of the Sumitomo family. They will not allow their girls to be Chu Huan's mistress.

It was also in such a helpless situation that Sumitomo Yoshio set his sights on Chu Huan's younger siblings, but this was only an expedient measure. For Sumitomo Yoshio, the most important thing was to have a marriage with Chu Huan's direct descendants , Only then can Sumitomo Yoshio feel at ease and let the two parties have more cooperation.

   Now, Chu Huan brought a Japanese girl to an occasion like today, so the meaning is self-evident, this woman is Chu Huan's woman in Japan.

   Then this woman may give birth to an heir for Chu Huan in the future, and this heir will be the goal of Yoshio Sumitomo!

   "Chu Sang, let me introduce you to some friends!"

  Sumitomo Yoshio, who was in a good mood, personally held Chu Huan's hand, and preached to Chu Huan with a smile.

  Chu Huan naturally had no objection to this.

  The three of them came to the center of the stage, and Sumitomo Yoshio first introduced a Japanese man in his fifties to Chu Huan.

   "Chu Sang, this is Mr. Noboru Masaoka, the current president of Teijin Co., Ltd."

  Japan Teijin Co., Ltd., together with Hitachi Zosen and Ube Industries, is known as one of the three pillar industries of the Sanwa Consortium. The company's research direction is chemical products, and its flagship product is polycarbonate resin.

   "Mr. Masaoka, this is Chu Huan Chusang, the chairman of Xiangjiang Jiaku!"

At this time, Masaoka knew who the young man Sumitomo Yoshio personally introduced was, and his eyes showed some surprise. In recent days, there have been news in their circle that Sumitomo Yoshio is cooperating with Xiangjiang Koko news, but the Sumitomo family has not responded positively to this.

   Now, when Chu Huan came to Sumitomo Yoshio's banquet in person, everything seemed to have been opened.

  But at this time, Jiaku and Teijin Co., Ltd. have no business contacts at all, and naturally there is no competitive relationship. Therefore, after learning of Chu Huan's identity, Masaoka Noboru greeted Chu Huan very affectionately.

   "Chu Sang, you are very welcome to Japan!"

   "Thank you!"

   After the simple exchange of greetings, Sumitomo Yoshio began to lead Chu Huan to meet the top Japanese dignitaries on the scene.

  As Chu Huan had thought before, the high standard of the dinner tonight is definitely the top in Japan.

  The guests here include the Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister of the Japanese government, as well as the presidents of pillar companies such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Fuji, as well as the owners behind these families.

  At the same time, there are also the presidents of the top consortiums in Japan at this time.

  Chu Huan greeted and chatted with them one by one. Although this did not allow Chu Huan to integrate into their group, at least a good foundation had been laid.

Not long after, represented by Yoshio Sumitomo and others, several people disappeared at the dinner party. Obviously, these few people who disappeared were the most important people in the dinner party. They needed to meet alone for a meeting. No one knows what to study.

Maybe those people are asking Sumitomo Yoshio why he brought Chu Huan into today's dinner, maybe they are discussing the future development direction of their respective consortiums, maybe it is related to the development of Japan's policies, but what is absolutely guaranteed is what they said, It is very likely that it will affect the life of ordinary people in Japan.

   And Chu Huan also had an old Japanese man beside him at this time.

  Bao Yugang is known as the world's ship king, and the old man next to Chu Huan is called the Japanese ship king.

  In Japan, Konosuke Matsushita is known as the God of Management, while Shouo Tsubouchi is known as the God of Reconstruction, and the two are also known as Japan's business duo.

  Before the oil crisis in 1973, Japan's largest logistics company, Zhao Guo Shipping, was eager to transport oil to the Persian Gulf to make a fortune, so it found Tsubouchi Hisao and asked his Kuishima Shipyard to speed up the production of eight 130,000-ton large oil tankers.

  The smug Tosao Tsubouchi didn't even think about it, so he went around to raise funds, hit full steam ahead, and get going.

   Who knew that not long after, the oil crisis broke out in 1973, and international oil prices soared.

  The dream of making money in Zhaoguo Shipping was instantly dashed, and he had to go back and ask Tsubouchi Tosuo to cancel the ship contract. But at that time, Kuishima Shipyard had already built 4 oil tankers, with a total investment of 30 billion yen, and they would leave the factory soon.

  The crisis came so unexpectedly that Tosao Tsubouchi had not had time to discuss a solution with the other party, and Zhaoguo Shipping collapsed because of the collapse of the capital chain.

  After some liquidation, Laidao Shipyard only got 5% of the 30 billion payment, which is 1.5 billion, and the loss was as high as 28.5 billion.

   This was a bolt from the blue for Lai Dao, whose annual revenue was less than 100 billion at that time.

  Shipbuilding is different from other industries. Each ship is tailor-made, and there is no other buyer except the person who ordered it.

   In order to make up for the loss, Kuroshima Shipyard can only sell 4 oil tankers at a low price, but Hisao Tsubouchi categorically vetoed it: he will never sell it at a low price, and would rather let them float at sea before finding a buyer with a suitable price!

  The question is, how to fill in the hole of 28.5 billion yen, is it just waiting to die like this?

  Tosuo Tsubouchi did not sit still, he began to actively help himself, while seeking help from the bank, while laying off staff and cutting salaries to reduce costs.

  But with the economic downturn and the collapse of the shipbuilding industry, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a big fire pit. Who will jump into it?

   At the critical moment, Tosuo Tsubouchi’s accumulated character saved him. This Japanese ship magnate, who started his business by operating a movie theater, has a bad temper and arbitrariness, but regards reputation as his life, and has won praise from the Japanese financial circles.

  Tsubouchi Tosao has taken over many small and medium-sized enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy. If Japan's "Company Rehabilitation Law" is invoked, the creditor's rights of these enterprises can be reduced by 70% to 80%, and banks, as creditors, will definitely lose money.

  But Tosao Tsubouchi always thinks about the bank, and pays out of his own pocket to restructure these bad companies. He invested at most 8.3 billion yen at one time, and after turning losses into profits, he returned the loan to the bank with interest.

  Because of this, when he is in trouble, the bank will take risks and give generously.

   The life-saving money was received, but the backyard of Laidao Shipyard caught fire.

  In order to reduce expenditures, Tosao Tsubouchi cut wages by 10% to 15% in the whole factory, stopped dividends and salary increases within 3 years, and abolished the weekend system and extended the working day by 1 hour.

  As soon as this order came out, the workers were full of resentment. The media and competitors even added fuel, saying that he "takes advantage of the fire, has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and is a terrible dictatorial operator."

  A labor dispute that shocked the whole country made Tosao Tsubouchi notorious overnight.

   Soon, a large-scale wave of resignations broke out in the panic-stricken Kuishima Shipyard. Some people even made a scarecrow that looked like Tsubouchi’s, and burned it down as a curse.

  Full of grievances, Tosao Tsubouchi secretly made up his mind: All of you wait and see, I must complete the reconstruction within 5 years, and let you know who is right!

  During that big labor dispute, Kurushima Shipyard lost half of its employees in total. Many people were waiting to see the joke, but Tsubouchi Tosuo was not in a hurry, and calmly watched the employees leave one by one.

  Although there are fewer people, those who remain are desperate or desperate. Hisao Tsubouchi knows that it is time to start "a small number of elites, reducing the number of operations".

  The so-called elite minority is to train limited employees into an iron army with one as ten, creating unlimited productivity.

  In management science, there are two understandings of human nature——Theory X and Theory Y.

  Theory X believes that most people are lazy and passive, and must be managed by means of punishment; Theory Y, on the contrary, believes that most people are hardworking, motivated, creative, and able to work proactively without coercion or temptation.

  Shoo Tsubouchi is a thorough X-shaped manager. He is known for his toughness and iron fist, and claims: "I never care about superficial evaluations and rumors, because what I want is real success." This makes it difficult for him to have a good reputation.

  But it is this way of sacrificing his reputation that allows him to perform miracles repeatedly in times of crisis that require vigorous action.

  In order to train a "surprise soldier", Tosao Tsubouchi started his devil-style training.

  Sequential attendance system—the higher the position, the earlier the working time. At 7:00 a.m., the ministers of each department hold a meeting. 20 minutes later, the next-level leaders are in place, and 20 minutes later, employees enter the factory and start working.

  Spiritual motivation method—"self-declaration" two minutes before the start of work every day, all employees waved their fists and shouted to cheer up, and then trotted to their posts. The workshop was silent except for the sound of welding, and the employees seemed to have become machines.

  Scheduled shifts, one person with multiple roles——At Laidao Shipyard, a workshop team leader may concurrently take up positions such as general affairs, personnel affairs, finance, and even drivers. The huge work pressure forces employees to grow rapidly and be independent.

  Closed training, consciousness revolution—this is the most controversial item in Tsubouchi’s management:

  He will regularly close employees on an isolated island, let them read aloud the admonition manual from morning to night, and do self-criticism, and use the mentality of a leader instead of a small employee to reflect on why they have caused the company to decline.

  The trainees seem to have been brainwashed, completely abandon themselves, a strong sense of crisis and collective consciousness arise in their hearts, and return to work with high fighting spirit.

  This seemingly inhumane "Tsubaui-style training" saved Kurushima Shipyard in times of crisis.

The employees who have undergone devil-style training have always maintained super high motivation. In 1975, there were 2,300 workers in a factory in Lai Island, and less than 100 managers. The annual salary expenditure accounted for only 1% of sales, which was much lower than Japan. This peer.

  Shoo Tsubouchi's goal of "reducing operations" has finally become a reality: in Kuishima, if a worker is randomly picked from the workshop, his individual combat capability is no less than that of any Fortune 500 company.

   With the life-saving money and the Iron Army, but the general environment is sluggish, where do the customers come from?

  Tsubo Tsubouchi’s survey found that since the oil crisis, Japanese shipping operators have not dared and cannot spend so much money to build new ships because they are worried that the huge investment will be in vain.

  At that time, it cost about 100 million yen to build a ship, and the bank loaned up to 60 million yen. The ship owner had to prepare 40 million to 50 million yen.

  If the ship owner has no money to build a ship, the shipyard will have no orders, and if the shipyard has no orders, it will not seek bank loans... This is an endless cycle. To break this cycle, someone has to step up to take risks and boost the confidence of other stakeholders.

Although in just three years, Tsubouchi Tosuo has led Kuishima Shipyard to pay off 28.5 billion debts, and led Kuishima Shipyard to stand on the top of Japan, and Tsubouchi Tosao has also paid the salary increases owed to employees over the years. This book is reissued to everyone with interest.

  But as the world shipping industry is getting more and more sluggish, Tosao Tsubouchi is still having a headache about how to break the situation.

  The world only knows that Tosao Tsubouchi's business was later called one of Japan's top ten chaebols, but now he really feels unprecedented pressure.

"Chu Sang, I once had a frequent chat with Mr. Bao from Xiangjiang. He was skeptical about the future development of the shipping industry, and he told me that you are completely pessimistic about the shipping industry. If Chu Sang If it's convenient, can you tell me your opinion?"

The rise and fall of the shipping industry is directly related to the survival of shipyards. Bao Yugang is known as Xiangjiang Ship King, and he is naturally a distinguished guest of major shipyards around the world. Hisao Tsubouchi is now the president of the largest shipyard in Japan. Both parties There is definitely a connection between them.

  Chu Huan did not hide anything, and told Tosao Tsubouchi what he thought.

".Under such circumstances, I believe that in the future world banking industry, there will be fewer and fewer banks that will lend to those ship owners. If the ship owner has no money, the shipbuilding company will have no orders. Without orders, naturally, shipbuilding companies will also Can’t get a loan from the bank”

   "Chu Sang is able to become the first person in Xiangjiang, and his knowledge is really accurate. Now this matter is the most troublesome thing for me!"

  Tsao Tsubouchi preached in great distress.

It's not that after he chatted with Chu Huan for a few words, the two sides hit it off immediately so that Tsubouchi Tosao can complain to Chu Huan about the problems he encountered at this time, but because the current problem is indeed the most important for Tsubouchi Tosao. Important question now.

  He just hoped to talk to a few more people to see if he could find a more suitable way.

Although Chu Huan now has companies such as Wheelock Shipping in his hands, Tosao Tsubouchi learned from Bao Yugang that Chu Huan has been looking for opportunities to sell the ships of these three shipping companies, that is to say, Chu Huan There is no interest relationship with him, which allows Tosao Tsubouchi to tell Chu Huan about this matter with more confidence.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "This matter may be a very difficult matter for other people, but for Mr. Pinguchi, I don't think it is such a difficult matter."

  Tosuo Tsubouchi's eyes lit up. Since he knew Chu Huan, he naturally understood Chu Huan's ability. Now that he heard what Chu Huan said, he was unavoidably excited, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything Chu Sang can do?"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "I do have some ideas. If Mr. Pinguchi has ideas, the two of us can have a good discussion!"

   "Of course they have ideas!" Tsubouchi Tosuo immediately said.

  Chu Huan said: "As far as I know, the current practice of shipyards is that after customers order a ship, they have to pay 25% of the down payment to the shipping company, which is about 25 million to 30 million yen.

  The problem is that many ship owners are now affected by the price of oil, so they don’t have so much cash to pay the shipyard. This is Mr. Tsubouchi’s first headache, right? "

  Tosao Tsubouchi nodded seriously and said, "That's right, that's how it is!"

  Chu Huan continued: "But I think, with Mr. Tsubouchi's long-term experience in the Japanese shipbuilding industry, he must know who is worthy of cooperation and who is not worthy of cooperation!"

  Tsubouchi Tosao said helplessly: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and I don't have much confidence!"

This is the case when Chu Huan said that he had some ideas, and Tosao Tsubouchi would tell Chu Huan like this. If it was changed to when the two had just met before, Tosao Tsubouchi would definitely not talk to Chu Huan like this. words.

   After all, in Japan, Tosao Tsubouchi is very reputable.

  Chu Huan said: "Then come up with a standard."

  Tsubunai Tosao failed to understand what Chu Huan meant.

  Chu Huan continued to explain: "No matter how strong the relationship is, it is always necessary to avoid people who are not strong enough to participate, and the convention is not impossible to break.

Since the current management is that the ship owner pays 25% of the down payment to the shipyard in advance, Laidao Shipyard will lower this standard to 15%. In this way, the economic pressure of those ship owners can be greatly relieved, while Well, it can also eliminate those ship owners who are not doing well and are sure to sink in the next crisis.

  If this is the case, I think Laishima Shipyard’s smile will definitely get better again!

   To put it simply, it is to sacrifice part of the immediate vested interests of Laidao Shipyard and prolong the timeline of this interest, but it can provide Laidao Shipyard with more customers! "

  Shuo Tsubouchi After hearing this, Tosao Tsubouchi's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of such a simple thing?"

  What is a convention?

   It is something that has formed a law in people's minds. It is easy to break the convention, but in fact, if the convention is so easy to break, the world will not be so difficult.

   What's more, Mrs. Tsubouchi is still in the mountains, so she can't look at this matter from the overall situation.

  But it is not unreasonable for Tosao Tsubouchi to be called the God of Reconstruction in Japan. What Chu Huan said was actually one of Tosao Tsubouchi’s ways to break the deadlock, but now it was said by Chu Huan in advance.

   "I believe that even without my reminder, Mr. Tsubouchi will definitely be able to think of this method soon!"

  Chu Huan preached modestly.

  However, after being excited, Tosao Tsubouchi still spoke with some concern: "This method alone cannot solve these problems in the current shipyard. Please teach me Chu Sang!"

   Speaking of this, Tosao Tsubouchi bowed to Chu Huan seriously.

  Seeing this, Chu Huan first supported Tosao Tsubouchi, and then said with a smile: "Since Mr. Tsubouchi asked, I am naturally willing to tell Mr. Tsubouchi my thoughts."

   "Thank you!"

Chu Huan continued: "Although this method can allow some capable ship owners to purchase ships on their own, it is still far from enough for the entire industry, just like the charter king of Xiangjiang. At the beginning of his business, without the support of HSBC, it was impossible to develop.

Therefore, fresh blood is very important to this industry. This group of people is actually very important, so my idea is that in this process, Laidao Shipyard can seek potential and capable partners to provide more help, such as guaranteeing them a loan at a bank.

At the same time, the time for them to pay the final payment is extended, just like a property loan, which is paid regularly. At the same time, Laidao Shipyard can become a shareholder of the company of these ship owners and do the most comprehensive supervision. In this way, I think it can provide a lot of help for this industry. At that time, the interests of the shipping company, customers and banks will be bundled, and the problem of Laidao Shipyard will naturally be solved! "

  Tosuo Tsubouchi's expression became more and more excited, but at the same time, the question Chu Huan mentioned still had many details to consider.

"It doesn't matter if the owner's loan amount is reduced from 25% to 15%, but this requires the consent of the bank. I think under the current situation, it is difficult for any bank to agree to such a situation. Then this needs to come to the island shipyard itself. Advance payment.

  In addition, long-term payment is bound to increase the cash pressure of Laidao Shipyard”

   I'm afraid you won't ask questions. Chu Huan thought silently, although the world's shipping industry will be bleak in the future, Laidao Shipyard has grown up in such a crisis by relying on its own operations.

   It is precisely because of the Kuishima Shipyard that Tsubouchi Shouo has the title of Japan's tenth largest chaebol.

  Chu Huan wants to have a deep foundation in Japan, not only to have the current industries in his hands, but also to go deep into all walks of life in Japan like the four big chaebols in Japan.

  Shoo Tsubouchi's reputation in the Japanese banking industry is very good, but the crisis in the shipping industry is also real.

  This has made Japanese banks keep secret about this industry.

   Chu Huan, who is familiar with Tosao Tsubouchi's future development, understands that this is his best opportunity!

   Resurrection with full blood, continue to code words~~
