American TV series

"What is my identity, Sean? I am just a Japanese foreign minister who can meet him whenever he wants. Let him go!" When the Japanese asked to see him, Sean curled his lips and waved his hand, refusing with full momentum!

Lorraine sneered, turned and left.

We definitely can’t see it now. Where are we? The fleet is not a plane. We have just passed Malacca and haven’t reached the Philippines yet. We are still far away from the Sea of ​​Japan!

As the initiator of this matter, General Electric naturally had to follow Sean's footsteps, and they rejected it directly because the chairman was on a business trip in Europe.

Umbrella and GE are unmoved, and the dozen or so law firms representing Washington's cases will not compromise.

Whoever dares to put pressure on them at this time, they will expose whoever they dare to, and if they are labeled as interfering with judicial justice, they will all die!

Anyway, New Century Media will never refuse to break the news!

The Japanese activities have not achieved any results, not because they are unwilling to spend money, but because politicians also have to consider political risks. It is impossible to give up their political career for money.

Of course, this wave of activities is not without any effect. At least Sean gave New Century Media another idea.

That night, New Century Media will have a new program!

"Everyone knows that there have been many accidents involving Japanese products these days, and many problems that were previously hidden have been exposed. The quality of the products has been questioned by everyone, which has had a great impact on American society and the people. However,

Only a small number of people have the conditions to protect their rights through law. So, Mr. Jon, how do the Japanese respond to this crisis?" the host asked the guests.

"As a large international company, of course it is time to stand up and take responsibility, such as recalling problematic products, compensating for problematic products, compensating for losses caused to users, publicly apologizing, etc. We all know that at this stage,

"The reputation of the company is far greater than the economic losses." Economic expert Jon said, "If the reputation of the company is tarnished, then consumers will refuse to buy all such products out of the principle of distrust, which will be harmful to the company."

To say it is tantamount to catastrophe."

"Of course, normal companies may do this. So, are Japanese companies normal companies?" The host smiled mysteriously and said loudly: "Come, let's take a look at the relevant responsibilities after a commercial or political accident occurred in Japan.

Video material of people’s handling of events.”

On TV, the company that caused the incident was first shown, and the company was introduced. It was not a small company, and then the cause of the incident was shown, and finally the way the company's top management handled it!

"Sorry for causing trouble to everyone!" A neat shout was followed by a ninety-degree bow from the company's leadership.

The situation escalated...all employees of the company bowed ninety degrees together.

After playing several cases in a row, Jon was dumbfounded and asked blankly: "No, wait, what about the compensation measures?"

"Sorry, no!"

"This, this, this, I admit that their attitude is very good. Well, a large number of people just want an attitude, but this cannot be without any compensation measures!" From a professional point of view, Jon is completely

Can't understand.

"Then, let's take a few more cases. This time they are all companies that everyone is familiar with, including Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Hitachi and other companies that caused this incident." The host said again.

The film played quickly, but I still bowed to the media and bowed collectively.

If it is a large-scale accident that causes casualties, then kneel down and kowtow, and come out collectively to kneel down and kowtow!

As for more specific compensation measures, don’t even think about it!

At first, the audience in front of the TV felt that the attitude of the Japanese was very sincere and sincere, but sympathy would be exhausted once, twice, or three times too much.

Why the hell can’t you just bow and kowtow all the time?

"In fact, not only Japanese companies have this attitude, but government officials also have this attitude when facing the incident." The host continued: "Let's use a case, an official from the Ministry of Education, taking advantage of his position,

Within 15 years, more than 1,300 women were forced to have sex with him, 452 of whom were underage."

As he said that, a picture of him kowtowing and apologizing was shown on TV. With tears streaming down his face, he was very sincere and resigned from his position...

Then there is no more!

"So, I conclude that for the country of craftsmen, in this incident, the Japanese will only come out and bow, and then there will be nothing more!"

After the news was broadcast, it caused a big stir. Some people believed it, but most people still didn't believe it.

After all, this is simply provoking people’s worldview. How can it be possible to just bow and apologize no matter what!

The result...the next day.

In response to the anti-Japanese turmoil currently breaking out across the United States, several companies involved had to apologize to the public.

Wearing a kimono with a heavy face, all the company employees feel very sorry for the 'inconvenience' caused by the company's products to many users!

Then all employees bowed ninety degrees.

This time, the scene immediately caused an uproar, and the reporters at the scene were both happy and excited.

The atmosphere is that these Japanese are so damn irresponsible and don't take American dads seriously. I'm glad the big news is coming!

Media carnival!

Suddenly, there was another anti-Japanese turmoil in the news media. The Japanese secretly changed the concept, turned losses and disasters into inconveniences, and shirked responsibility with no shame!

Faced with the attitude of the Japanese, ordinary Americans were incited by the media and became even more angry!

But when it comes to the business world, it’s a different perspective.

…

"The Japanese don't know this is your conspiracy, are they crazy?" Lorraine asked with a puzzled look on Deer Island.

"You just don't understand what crisis public relations is. Then tell me, what else can you do if you don't apologize?" Sean raised his hand and picked Lorraine's chin.

"Of course I have to stand up and take responsibility!" Lorraine opened her mouth to bite, but Sean quickly retracted his hand.

"Responsible? Compensation? No money? That's the last resort!" Sean snorted coldly, "For capitalists, integrity doesn't exist at all. It's best to apologize and fool the past. Even if you can't fool them, let them go."

It’s a good thing that the situation broke out!”

"This can greatly speed up the consumption of people's enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is not unlimited!"

"When the anti-Japanese slogans are almost gone, the enthusiasm subsides, and the media has nothing left to speculate on, the matter will be over!"

"Ordinary people only have seven days in their memory. If the time is longer, they will forget that they should consume anyway. There are so many things on the market. As for the voices of ordinary people, who cares?"

“The only ones who can really pose a threat to capitalists are capitalists!”

"It's me they're afraid of!" Sean pointed at himself with his thumb, "They're afraid that I'll use public opinion to put pressure on them!"

"But the worst result is to lose money, so why stand up and lose money so early?"

Lorraine blinked, this is bird food.

"Huh, you capitalists don't have any good stuff!"

"Okay, that's good." Sean chuckled, "After a few years, you will find that being able to come out and apologize is already a high standard. Those people will collude with the master, control the media, and blame everything on ordinary people."

"Those who are hungry to ask for wages, who are hungry to resign, who are hungry for compensation, who are hungry to defend their rights, who are hungry to return home will all come out. When the time comes, they will be dealt with in accordance with the law. There must be zero tolerance and high pressure and severe crackdowns!"

"Are you crazy? Isn't it natural to get a salary when you go to work? How can asking for salary be malicious!" Lorraine sneered, "This is simply impossible. I don't believe it. No matter how crazy the capitalists are, they don't have this ability. I don't think so.

I dare not even think about it.”

Sean only showed a weird and unpredictable smile, reality is always more exciting than fiction!

…

I made a mistake in hoping that the public's enthusiasm would soon subside, and Sean would never allow it.

New Century Media increased its coverage, Fox followed suit, and capitalists in the physical manufacturing industry also began to follow suit.

In recent years, from textiles to steel, from semiconductors to machinery manufacturing, the two sides have had more grievances.

Soon, relevant incidents began to be reported in Europe!

Japan became the second largest economy in the world by stepping on the corpses of many countries and capitalists. There are too many enemies!

Capitalists all over the world unite...

Sean even ordered people to directly expose the claim amount, and the 3.5 billion claim shocked the world.

On the other hand, General Electric was not far behind and also claimed a claim amount of 1.5 billion.

Immediately afterwards came the coalition of affected companies and citizens in Washington, with more than a dozen law firms claiming a total of US$16 billion.

These guys have a bigger appetite.

However, it has been five days since the accident was detected, and power supply has not been restored to half of Washington.

There is no other way, the power grid lines also need to be reorganized.

The most troublesome thing is that all the equipment needs to be repurchased, and there is a disagreement over whether to continue purchasing Japanese goods or American goods.

Theoretically speaking, if there is such a big problem, it is safe to purchase American products.

But in practice, the government and power companies refuse to purchase American products!

The reason is very good. If the ghettos of Washington are replaced with American products, what about other places?

Should other backward areas in the state be treated fairly?

This breaks the consistent policy of American society, which provides high service standards in areas with high taxes, low or no taxes, and low-end standards in areas losing money!

What's more, who says there is no oil and water in low-income areas?

Interest groups smile enigmatically!

The obstacles are huge.

Yes, unless General Electric can provide low-end products, it will be excluded.

Unfortunately, General Electric can’t produce such low-end products yet…

Don't be surprised. The production lines, raw materials, and workers are all high-end in the industry. Even if they are forced down, there will be no profit at all in the face of high costs.

Of course, you can also bribe interest groups...the question is whether the profit is worth it!

Garbage is not something you want to produce, you can produce it if you want to…

On August 4, 2020, New York was hit by a typhoon. About 257,000 households in the city suffered power outages. Queens was the most severely affected, with 46,528 residents experiencing power outages. Manhattan was the least affected, with only 68 households experiencing power outages.

As a port city, it is common for New York to be affected by typhoons.

…

"Tell them that there is nothing to talk about. As long as compensation is paid, the relevant news will be withdrawn immediately!"

"What, you don't want to pay?"

"If you don't give me money, how serious are you!"

"Sincerity, sincerity, what the hell is sincerity? Sincerity is 3.5 billion US dollars!"

"If you don't pay, let them get lost!"

Snap, Sean hung up the phone directly!

Idiot!

"Norris, call the congressmen who are cooperating with us and ask them to tell the media that in order to protect the safety of American people's lives and property, they will propose strict inspection procedures and industry standards specifically for Japanese products to Congress, and resolutely crack down on word games and sidelines.

Strategy."

"Initiate an investigation plan for those companies that have caused great harm to the safety of American people's lives and property to investigate whether there are any illegal or criminal activities in their business operations in the United States."

"Okay, boss!" Norris nodded and quickly went down to inform.

Just because a bill is a bill does not mean it will be passed.

But now the limelight is just right. It can at least give the congressmen a boost of reputation and put more pressure on the Japanese.

If you don't give in, the government will probably pass the relevant investigation out of pressure from the people.

Then the Japanese will be miserable.

Of course, that being said, any kind of public pressure is nonsense.

When there is more public opinion, how many times will the government respect it?

The mid-term elections are over, and public opinion is just a piss pot that needs to be picked up and used when the time comes.

The key point is that the real manufacturing industry is now collectively hostile to the Japanese, and the financial sector is taking advantage of the sudden boiling of public opinion to harvest Japanese assets.

By then there will be some interest groups closely related to Japanese companies, but the energy will still not be enough.

The American consortium that has shares in Japanese companies will not take action. Do you really think that the shareholders of the company must want the company to prosper and everything will be fine?

Stop talking nonsense!

At this time, Japanese companies such as Toshiba and Mitsubishi have turned to the American consortium, but the result is that public opinion is fierce. We will wait until the limelight passes.

Short-term stock price fluctuations do not matter in the long term.

Rockefeller had communicated with a large consortium. At this time, the American consortium not only refused to help, but actually wanted the Japanese to suffer more.

Only by suffering can you know what the world is like!

Only then did I realize how warm the embrace of an American father is!

Only then will more shares be given up and more benefits come out!

This is called a small tree that cannot grow straight if it is not repaired, and a tree that cannot grow straight if a person does not repair it.

What should I do if my book doesn’t obey me?

Just give it a beating!

——Truman

American politicians still have very professional ethics, especially when facing the donor father, if you give him money, he will really get things done!

The next day, a member of the Elephant Party mentioned in front of reporters that he would propose a bill at the next Congress, in order to ensure... blah blah blah.

Anyway, everything is for the benefit of the people.

Several congressmen have proposed launching an investigation into Toshiba and several other companies to strictly investigate whether there are illegal activities in every business activity. Otherwise, how could so many substandard products be sold to the United States?

Some members of Congress came forward to criticize the US quality inspection department for being irresponsible. For a while, the official attitude suddenly became tougher.

As Sean worked hard, General Electric, General Motors, Ford, Whirlpool... many companies also followed suit.

Sean worked hard in Congress, and they worked hard at the local level. Customs seized a large batch of Japanese offensive goods on the grounds of quality inspection.

Several states have launched investigations, and some local courts have begun to issue judgments in small cases, requiring several companies to compensate for losses.

It wasn't a big thing, but I couldn't hold it back for too long, and for a while it felt like there was a lot of turmoil and everything was on the line.

The Japanese couldn't stand it any longer and really started to investigate. Then there would be more problems. How could the capitalists be so honest?

A charge of unfair competition can make them feel very uncomfortable.

If things happen alone, they don't care, but if they happen together, once a storm forms, everyone will be miserable.

It is extremely difficult to seize market share, but it can happen very quickly when you lose ground. If one person fails, several years of hard work will be wasted.

The most important thing is that this anti-Japanese storm that has been hanging up for some reason is sweeping from the United States towards Eurasia.

Germany, France, Spain, Italy, including the United Kingdom, have begun to have a large number of cases involving Japanese companies.

At first, media newspapers only quoted reports from the United States, but later various local reports began to appear.

Several countries have proposed increasing scrutiny of Japanese products.

What makes Toshiba and Mitsubishi even more angry is that even the East has begun to follow suit. Some equipment exports and business cooperation that were originally being negotiated have all reached a deadlock, and competitors from Europe and the United States have successively appeared in the East.

Suddenly, the method used to deceive fools in the east no longer worked. After the sales department spent a sum of money, they only got a vague message that there was an American intervention behind it.

News control in the east is very strict, and the name Sean is only circulated among senior officials.

There was a lack of communication between various departments. The sales department knew that many companies in the East had sued them, but they were used to the condescending treatment of foreign adults and did not take it to heart. They did not even notice that the people who brought them to court were not Easterners.

It has already been outsourced.

And if you're in the east, you can't see American news at all.

…

"Tell them, I'm not in the United States. Well, I'm on a business trip. Specifically, it's a business secret." Sean waved his hand.

In the past few days, the Japanese were looking for connections like crazy to come and see him.

It just helps the Japanese to convey the news that they are going to meet, and without any position attached, there are still many people who are willing to take the money.

Of course, calls like this couldn't be reached by Sean and were answered by Norris's secretarial team, but Tai still knew the news.

"Forget it, arrange a plane and go to Japan!" Sean thought for a while and said to Lorraine: "Don't use the Sky Palace, just rent a plane."

Sean is preparing to personally preside over the case regarding Toshiba's private sale of five-axis machine tools.

In fact, after Sean learned about this from Murdoch, the intelligence agency had already entered Japan and started doing preliminary work.

The main thing is to contact Toshiba staff, build relationships, and prepare to buy information.

In addition, there is contact with local gang forces in Japan. Information is divided into high-end and low-end. This does not mean that there is any difference in importance, but it is a channel for obtaining intelligence.

One day later, outside Tokyo.

When he first came to Tokyo, Sean ordered someone to buy a mansion for Akina Nakamori to live in, and this time he lived here.

"How is the data investigation going?"

"It's all here, boss." A Japanese man who looked to be in his 40s smiled and handed over a document and put it on the table, then put it into categories. "These are the staff lists of Toshiba Machine Tool Division, 1980

So far, those who resigned midway are marked in red and have time to resign, while those in green are marked in red and have time to resign."

"This is what we investigated. The head of the Machine Tool Division, Hiroaki Tanimura, and his confidants have detailed information about the time he followed him, the department he is currently in, and his situation, etc."

"This document is the list of staff of the Manufacturing Department, and this document is the list of Minister Hayashi Ryuuji and his closest associates."

"This document is a list of Toshiba's branches or divisions in Eastern Europe. Those marked in red are those engaged in machinery sales."

"Not bad, very detailed." Sean smiled and gave a compliment.

"Thank you, boss." The Japanese man bowed.

These tasks are very simple for the intelligence department. They are not highly confidential information. Let’s just say the staff list. Not only the people in the department know it, HR knows it, but even the financial department knows it. They always have to pay wages.

.

As for who is whose confidant, office politics is everywhere, and no one knows who the minister's confidant is better than the people within their department. You can find out this kind of thing with a little money.

You only need to verify a few more people at most, and there is no difficulty.

Sean started to look down at the information. Based on Sean's years of crime experience, it was impossible for the minister to do this kind of thing himself.

It must be someone from Lao Maozi's side who first investigates who is the head of the machine tool division, who is more adventurous, and then conducts testing.

For example, at a cocktail party or the like, you can contact Toshiba staff privately and secretly, and the address must be in Northern Europe. It doesn't matter which country it is.

No one from Lao Maozi needs to reveal their identity, they just need to spread the news that they want to buy a five-axis machine tool at a high price. Of course, some private promises are required.

Once the news reaches Hiroaki Tanimura, just wait. If Hiroaki Tanimura is brave, he will naturally send people to continue contacting him.

To be honest, in Sean's opinion, even Toshiba's senior management may not know about this matter, because for the huge Toshiba, the benefits and risks are not proportional.

There is a high probability that it was Hiroaki Tanimura's behavior in private, and the operation method was simple. After reaching a private deal, he asked the other party to register a company in North Eastern European countries that were not restricted by Batumi, such as Norway, Denmark, and Sweden to order some equipment from Toshiba.

Hiroaki Tanimura secretly contacted Hayashi Ryuji of the manufacturing department. As long as the two reached an agreement, the records of the production department would be changed. What was reported was the mechanical parts ordered there, and what was actually produced was a five-axis machine tool.

It's nothing more than deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors.

The rest is even simpler, packing and shipping. As long as the things are on the cargo ship prepared by Lao Maozi, everything will be fine.

If you have a strong psychological quality, you can ship it to Eastern Europe by sea. The land is vast and sparsely populated, so shipping it to Lao Maozi is not a problem.

Be urgent, turn around after entering the high seas, and reach Vladivostok, which is only more than a thousand kilometers away. What do you have to worry about when you enter Lao Maozi's territory!

Of course, someone must install it. This kind of high-precision machinery cannot be installed by reading the instructions.

Therefore, the technicians responsible for the installation must also be involved and get a share of the pie.

Sean only needs to find people who worked in Northern Europe around 1983 from Hiroaki Tanimura's confidants. It would be even more correct if he happened to get a promotion and a salary increase after that.

As for installation technicians, look for someone who has business trip experience in Europe during the same period.

The manufacturing department followed a similar approach, and finally asked the local gang to help investigate whether they had changed their houses, bought new cars or other large purchases after 1983.

Oh, by the way, you can also investigate whether Hiroaki Tanimura has owed a large amount of money in the stock market before, or lost money in a casino...

These are all very simple methods of operation!

Sean: No one knows better than me...
