Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a factory with a century-old history and a very long history. It not only gave birth to many warships of the Japanese Navy before the war, but also became the leading heavy industrial arms dealer in Japan after the war.

For example, Japan's F-2 and F-15j fighter jets, Type 9 tanks, more than half of the submarines and one-third of the surface ships were all built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The supporting role played by the advanced weapons on the spires of these pyramids is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ huge civil manufacturing group.

From electromechanical equipment to semiconductors, cars to aircraft, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries itself is an important consortium in Japan. Of course, Mitsubishi is indispensable in the international shipbuilding market.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is responsible for shipbuilding business and is the unit of the Shipbuilding and Marine Business Headquarters. The four major shipyards under it are the most famous ones in Nagasaki Shipyard.

The "masterpiece" that Nagasaki Shipyard is famous all over the world, the famous giant battleship "Musashai". The shipyard is across the sea from the city of Nagasaki and Nagasaki Port, and is distributed on both sides of the estuary of a river, becoming a natural shipbuilding port.

It is here that Nagasaki Shipyard is already one of the most advanced shipyards in the world. It has the world's largest 220,000-ton ship platform and one of the 30,000-ton docks, and can form an annual production capacity of 190,000 tons and a 550,000 tons of ship repair capacity.

Nagasaki Shipyard alone is responsible for one-third of the surface ship manufacturing volume and is the most important one-third of the combat force.

It should be said that since the establishment of Nagasaki Shipyard in 14 years, this should be the first time it has opened its arms to an entire Chinese delegation.

The members of the Chinese inspection team entered the door of the shipyard with a complicated mood almost with a "pilgrimage" mentality.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries sent a executive director, together with a business manager of Nagasaki Shipyard, to stand in front of the office building, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese delegation.

When two buses specifically used for commuting stopped by the fountain pool in the spacious square in front of the building, the members of the Chinese delegation were scattered from the car with a somewhat tired look, and looked at the slightly old but neat and meticulous factory area of ​​the Nagasaki Shipyard in a daze.

“Irashayimase!”

The neat voices of the orioles suddenly rang out. Yamazaki Masaki and Kondou Shunichi walked up with a smile on their faces. Behind them, a row of female Mitsubishi staff wearing blue OL work clothes were bowing and greeting each other.

"It means welcome in Japanese."

Masato Yamazaki is the executive director of Mitsubishi Heavy Industry. Mitsubishi Heavy Industry's business scope is much more than shipbuilding. However, a transaction that may reach a transaction volume of US$300 million is enough to be equivalent to the business of a "Haruna" class destroyer. It is normal for Mitsubishi Heavy Industry to come forward with a manager in charge of the Marine and Marine Business Headquarters.

You know, the Hazel-class is the flagship of the Japanese 88 Fleet. Although in the 1980s and 1990s, no matter how sorry we were, the Japanese 88 Fleet was "American father's Asian Anti-Submarine Squadron". But we have to admit that in the years of Madan, even the anti-submarine squadron of the Chinese Navy was a lingering shadow and a mountain shrouded on his head.

The author of the most ruthless fantasy online is that he dares to imagine the balloon bombing Tokyo, the Golden Dragon Battery and the small plane of the all-electric aircraft in a sneak attack. The era of fear and confusion, and nowhere to be hoped, Chinese military fans really felt too much grievance. It is not the military fans who came from the 1990s, but it is really hard to imagine the disconfidence of the "patriotic little pinks" at that time.

Of course, after the Chinese Navy has been fighting for 30 years and finally can play bumper boats happily with the sea, then he will sigh after looking back.

"So it turns out that the 'shadow' of Dama back then is just like that!"

The new generation of "patriotic little pinks who earn 50 cents and eat in prison" can finally look at Hai Zi's dirty property with confidence.

Of course, back to the point, a $300 million business is not so common for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Moreover, the Chinese are aiming for second-hand rich production capacity. In the situation where shipbuilding orders are foreseeable shrinking, revitalizing the balance of fixed assets is really a good business of 1+1 greater than 2.

It’s no wonder that Masato Yamazaki made the welcome scene so grand.

The first person who got off the bus was about 40 years old when he opened the door. Seeing her, Masato Yamazaki and Shun Kondo quickly accelerated their pace.

"Dear Ms. Xiao. Welcome to Nagasaki Shipyard. I am Masaki Yamasaki from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry. This is the chief engineer of Nagasaki Shipyard. We represent Mitsubishi Heavy Industry..."

Xiao Yeqin listened quietly to the Japanese translation retelling beside her, with a smile on her face. She kept nodding, but there was a word in her ear. Except for the names and titles of the two people in front of her, most of the other information was that the left ear came in and the right ear, leaving nothing behind.

Her attention was already attracted by a warship that was slightly prototyped on the ship platform not far away.

She didn't know that this unfinished warship was the first destroyer of the Sea Zichao-class destroyer.

But even though she didn't know the specific information of the warship, it did not prevent her from realizing that it was a warship. After all, the difference between the type of the warship and ordinary civilian ships was still very different. Moreover, the Japanese did not make any confidential moves and just allowed the warship to be built so openly. However, compared with the front-line production situation of Chinese shipyards, the number of staff on the ship platform in Nagasaki Shipyard was significantly smaller.

The forest-like tower cranes and hangers really fully demonstrate the violent beauty of industry. Even if they are so far away, Xiao Yeqin can still feel the terrifying power contained in the bodies of these steel giants.

She compared the heavy machinery in the Bobo Ship operation area, and found that the competition between buyers and sellers had already begun silently.

After saying a welcome speech from Masato Yamasaki, Xiao Yeqin responded generously and appropriately. At this time, the members of the inspection team behind her had already gotten out of the car and lined up in curiosity and anxiety.

"Thanks to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and thanks to Mr. Yamasaki for his enthusiasm." Xiao Yeqin has long experienced the momentum of a strong woman. Every move and every move have his own charm: "Our inspection team members have worked hard today. I hope to arrange for them to take a break first and start the inspection work tomorrow. I wonder what arrangements are there for Nagasaki Shipyard?"

"Oh, of course!" Yamazaki Masato nodded and smiled, "The rest room and project are ready, please come with us."

Masato Yamazaki waved his hand. A group of female staff behind him ran over, bowing while helping the Chinese delegation to get their luggage. Many delegation members had never seen this posture, and suddenly there was a lively scene of people rushing over.

Xiao Yeqin couldn't help but shake her head and smiled bitterly: "It's causing trouble for you. Just have the following people to deal with these trivial matters. Mr. Yamazaki, why not find a place to sit down and discuss the subsequent work arrangements?"

"Don't Ms. Xiao need a rest? We have specially prepared a hot spring villa on the mountain to help travelers recover their energy quickly..."

Xiao Yeqin smiled, but refused firmly, saying, "No need. I want to finish the work first, so that I can relax with peace of mind."

"Oh, that's true." Yamazaki Masato nodded and reached out to lead the way: "Ms. Xiao, please come with me. I'll ask someone to prepare the conference room and we can handle the matter as soon as possible."

"I'm working hard." Xiao Yeqin followed Yamazaki Masaki toward the direction of the main office building.

The Japanese have always been very efficient. When Xiao Yeqin walked into the conference room, the entire conference room had been arranged, and the heads of relevant departments had already sat down one step earlier.

Masato Yamazaki took the initiative to sit in the main seat. Xiao Yeqin sat down in the guest seat next to him. Next, the heads of various departments took turns to report their information, itinerary arrangements, group visit content, time, information and documents provided, as well as specific technical projects that can be traded. Hu Wenhai specifically instructed the inspection team to not only pay attention to the hardware equipment, various technical patents, databases, management systems, ship design drawings and other software in Mitsubishi.

As a result, the entire procurement plan became extremely complex. Xiao Yeqin was not a professional who specialized in shipbuilding technology. I am afraid that this place would just listen to a general review and compare it with the business survey company report he received, and would like to know whether Mitsubishi people had dug up any obvious traps.

As for some small tricks in the transaction, we have to rely on the joint efforts of all members of the entire inspection team to avoid being accidentally cheated by the Japanese.

After all the reports were reported by Nagasaki Shipyard, Xiao Yeqin closed the information in his hand and nodded and praised: "Your side is very prepared. I have no problems in the inspection of the itinerary and other aspects. However, regarding your quotation and payment methods, I hope to propose another solution, and I hope Mitsubishi can consider it."

Masato Yamazaki frowned and asked, "I don't know what China plans to do with quotations and payment methods?"

"In terms of payment methods, we hope to be able to use yen loans. If Mitsubishi Heavy Industries help us get large, long-term, interest-free loans in Japan, by the end of 195, we can take out a billion US dollars in mortgage, guaranteed by the Chinese government, and loans one trillion yen for targeted procurement from affiliated companies of Mitsubishi Group and Mitsubishi Consortium."

Gudu

Yamazaki Masato swallowed hard.

Xiao Yeqin smiled and looked straight into his eyes: "In order to show sincerity in cooperation, we can practice our hands with Koreans first."

Well, China-Japan friendship depends on South Korea, and this has always been the case.

"Can Mitsubishi think that this is a policy-based aid loan?"

Masato Yamazaki asked at the point, who borrowed the money? In what form and name, this is the key to the problem.

If it is a policy aid loan, a mortgage of one billion US dollars is guaranteed by the reputation of the Chinese government, and a loan of one trillion yen is not impossible. However, if it is a policy aid loan, the relevant departments of the Chinese government should make this request to the relevant departments of the Japanese government.

But now a Chinese private enterprise claims to be able to obtain guarantees from the Chinese government. How should this nature be calculated? Is Xinke Company borrowed this money, or did the Chinese government borrowed this money?

The former is a commercial act, while the latter is a political act, and the meanings of the two are incomparable.

Xiao Yeqin nodded. The Japanese were indeed monkey spirits in business. It seems that it is not easy to knock the other party out of money just by trying to use money to knock him out.

"You can think so that this will be a policy aid loan promoted by the public."

Xiao Yeqin said a little vaguely: "First of all, Xinke has this ability in China to push the Chinese government to agree to this loan plan. In order for Xinke to launch this plan in China, the premise is that the Japanese government must speak out first. Who will promote the Japanese government to speak out? This issue must be considered that this aid loan is not necessarily a targeted procurement of the Mitsubishi Consortium."

Japanese companies have always attached importance to intelligence work, and Mitsubishi Group is no exception. What is the background of Xinke Company? Masato Yamazaki can be said to be "clear".

That's all. One of them led the F-14 into China, was responsible for the production of key electronic systems for China's 7 billion military export projects, and was holding the priceless lithium battery technology in his hand. Even if such a company is a private enterprise, it is also the prototype of a military consortium.

Consortiums like capitalist countries may not appear easily. In mainland China, where private enterprises are still illegal, why does such a company suddenly appear?

If someone says Xinke is not a white glove of the Chinese military, then someone will believe it.

Look at the businesses that Xinke Company does. If it weren't for the Chinese military's white gloves, why should individuals be able to accomplish such a feat? Unless Hu Wenhai is a genius and genius who has never been born in a thousand years, he must be able to predict the future, and perhaps he can start from scratch to do this career.

Compared with the explanation of the Chinese military's white gloves, it is obvious that the possibility of this is small can be ignored.

Xinke has a certain degree of influence in China, which should be unquestionable. If not, Mitsubishi is not a street convenience store. Could anyone visit the door?

In the eyes of Masato Yamazaki, the inspection team of Xinke Company was clearly approved by the Chinese government.

Xiao Yeqin has a huge amount of money in her hand, so the words she says naturally have a weight. Three hundred million US dollars and one billion US dollars are of course different. The business of one billion US dollars and one trillion yen is different.

For the big business of one trillion yen, Mitsubishi Group promoted the Japanese government to pass one or two laws without any problem, let alone loans. The 1980s were the stage of Sino-Japanese friendship, and it was not that difficult to promote aid loans that targeted procurement of Japanese corporate products. It can even be said that for the Japanese government, this would be a very impressive political achievement.

One trillion yen, according to the current trend of the foreign exchange market, is equivalent to four or five billion US dollars in a big business. How many jobs can be generated, how much internal demand can be generated by the Japanese economy and how many industrial development and progress can be promoted? The benefits here are enough to make all capitalists and politicians take risks.

Obviously, Mitsubishi is not the only one who can achieve this requirement in China. It is said that there are four major consortiums in Japan. I believe Mitsui, Sumitomo and Fuji will also do everything they can to get this business.

But when it comes to its influence on the government, we are still the strongest in Mitsubishi.

Although Masato Yamazaki thought so in his heart, he inexplicably felt a sense of urgency.

"How can Xinke Company prove that it can promote such a political incident?" Yamazaki Masato suppressed his heart, which was beating around and asked calmly.

Xiao Yeqin spread her hands and smiled and said, "This is back to the proposal I just said. In order to show sincerity, we can use Koreans to practice their hands first."

"Korean?" When Masato Yamazaki said this word, he could be said to be almost gritting his teeth.

Japan was the overlord of the international shipbuilding industry, but this overlord's share of international shipbuilding began to stagnate in the 1980s. By the mid-1980s, the market share began to decline significantly.

It all comes from the damn Koreans.

South Korea entered the shipbuilding industry in the 1970s, and the government issued legal protection and rewards to subsidize shipbuilding, forming five major shipbuilding companies. After these five shipbuilding companies emerged in South Korea, the South Korean government began to encourage and even personally helped them merge with other shipbuilding companies in South Korea.

By the 1980s, the domestic shipbuilding industry in South Korea officially formed a five to ninety-five pattern. In other words, with the five shipbuilding plants of Hyundai, Daewoo, Samsung, Han Jin and Hanna, they mastered 95% of the shipbuilding capabilities in South Korea, artificially spawning a consortium with strong capital and able to participate in international competition.

At this point, the South Korean government, which had successfully retired, opened its doors and let the dogs go, and five hungry evil dogs were out of the cage, scrambling to grab the market share that originally belonged to or would soon belong to the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is the leading company in Japan's shipbuilding industry. The rise of South Korea's shipbuilding industry will naturally hit it the biggest blow, otherwise it would not have been suddenly spared so much wealthy production capacity that needs to be sold to China.

As the executive director of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ship and Marine Business Headquarters, Masato Yamazaki wanted to fry the Koreans, dip them in mustard, throw them into their mouths and chew them into their stomachs!

If it weren't for Xiao Yeqin, if he hadn't said this, he would have to scold the person for being a scammer with a subordinate in the company and let him suddenly hear the word "Korea".

"The core advantage of South Korea's shipbuilding industry is low labor costs. Technically speaking, the faster Koreans catch up, the more severe the Japanese shipbuilding industry will shrink."

Xiao Yeqin talked freely: "In terms of the average wage level of manufacturing, the average wage of Japan's manufacturing industry is above US$12, while the average wage of South Korea's manufacturing industry is below US$3. In capital and manpower-intensive industries such as shipbuilding, the reduction of labor costs will be decisive to the total cost. If the future appreciation prospects of the yen are calculated, I am afraid that the Koreans' cost advantage will continue to expand."

"Um"

Masato Yamazaki sighed and had to nod, but said insincerely: "We Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have strong technical strength, and it may not be that easy for Koreans to catch up with them."
To be continued...
