Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After leaving the US Embassy, ​​Michio Watanabe ordered the driver to go straight to the Prime Minister's residence! Although he is also the Deputy Prime Minister, he is more responsible for diplomatic affairs; to put it bluntly, the configuration is higher, and it seems that Japan attaches more importance to diplomacy!

If it really involves domestic issues, he still has to report to the Prime Minister; the National Police Agency alone is not something he can mobilize, and he must not overstep his authority; that is a taboo in the workplace!

Miyazawa Kiichi; his ancestral home is Kanae Town, Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and he was born in Tokyo, Japan; he was elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan in October 1991 and became prime minister in November of the same year.

As one of the three important figures of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party during the Prince Azuma era, he is also a rare politician in the political arena who has successively served in the four major positions in the cabinet; his qualifications are definitely deep enough! It can be said that he is very good at handling international and domestic affairs!

But after seeing the information provided by Michio Watanabe, he was also a headache.

In fact, he had known long before that Toshiba had exported five-link CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union; he just chose to turn a blind eye. At that time, the Soviet Union was in full swing, and even the United States had to avoid its edge. Who dares not to give face to import a few CNC machine tools from Japan?

After all, the old Russians never reason with you, and the Japanese side cannot and dare not refuse. Otherwise, how could Toshiba alone ship the controlled equipment out of Japan so smoothly!

The Americans also know it well, but they just don’t want to do things to the extreme; they allow their younger brothers to make some compromises, but they must not go too far. It is still necessary to strike appropriately!

Miyazawa Kiichi thought for a while and said: "What do the Americans mean? Do they want to take the opportunity to sanction Japan, or only Toshiba!"

If you want to sanction the entire Japan, you must argue for it; there is already a plan before, once the truth comes out; you can only push Toshiba out. Corporate behavior has nothing to do with Japanese officials and senior officials!

Not only can it calm the anger of the Americans, but it can also preserve the entire Japan to the greatest extent; it is a last resort!

Michio Watanabe said without any hesitation: "US Ambassador to Japan Mondale made it very clear that only three core personnel of Toshiba were found to be involved in the case, and they agreed to let us arrest them."

"It's just that the US Embassy must send someone to supervise the operation and interrogation."

"It seems that they don't want to make a big deal, after all, it will not benefit anyone."

Hearing this, Miyazawa Kiichi finally let go of his hanging heart. It's just against Toshiba, there is still room for easing; as the prime minister, even if he apologizes, it doesn't matter.

After so many years, I've gotten used to it. I know very well that as long as there is an American soldier on Japanese soil, the so-called equality and freedom cannot be achieved.

I still have to do things according to the instructions of the United States. Once the Americans are unhappy, Japan's losses will be incalculable.

Miyazawa Kiichi said with a serious expression: "I knew about Toshiba's export of five-link CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union ten years ago."

"At that time, the Soviet Union had just finished the West-81 military exercise and was at its peak. Even the Americans had to avoid it. If they really wanted to attack Japan, even if Japan mobilized the whole country, it could only last for a week at most!"

"As for the US military presence in Japan, it is not enough to fill the gaps in the Soviet Union's teeth! It would not be enough to transfer troops from the mainland."

"Besides, the American national policy is to attack Europe first and Asia later. They will never fight a decisive battle with the Soviet Union because of Japan!"

"Under such a situation, the Soviet Union wants to buy Toshiba's machine tools. Do we have any other choice? The answer is no. Once the Soviet Union is unhappy, the entire country may cease to exist!"

"I thought this matter was over, but who would have thought that the Soviets were so careless; High-definition pictures were taken by American agents. "

"It's useless to say anything at this moment, and it's even more impossible to contact the Soviet Union. Once the Americans know about it, the consequences will become more serious!"

"They can only sacrifice Toshiba for the sake of national interests; they have no choice!"

"It is estimated that the CIA has already contacted three senior executives of Toshiba, and even reached some kind of agreement in private; it depends more on our attitude!"

"Of course, the Americans dare not take risks. If we lean towards the Soviet Union or are out of control, it will not be a good thing for the United States!"

"It's all because of insufficient strength that some domestic companies are restricted in even normal trade."

"The United States probably has more trade with the Soviet Union than any other country in the world! It's just that no country dares to break it!"

This is absolutely true. For example, the raw materials of the American SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft mainly come from the Soviet Union. More than 90% of the materials of the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft are titanium alloys; and at that time, the United States did not have enough titanium to manufacture these aircraft, so it had to import from the Soviet Union!

The Soviets are not stupid. If they want to buy titanium alloys, they need to relax some restrictions. Under the circumstances of last resort, the Americans can only compromise! You can threaten small countries, but the Russians won't let you down!

After receiving the order from the Prime Minister himself, the Japanese National Police Agency dared not neglect it; the Americans were watching behind them and would not let them be satisfied; it would be difficult to get by!

If things go wrong, the whole of Japan will suffer!

In order to make things more realistic, Hayashi Ryuji and Tanimura Hiroaki were taken away in the office; Kumagai Doku was at home, and as the boss, he naturally had more autonomy!

Lin Longer is the person in charge of Toshiba Machinery Company. Although he has a high and powerful position, his position is indeed not low! Being taken away directly in the office will inevitably make people's imagination wander!

In addition, Hiroaki Tanimura and Takashi Kumagai are both quite famous in Toshiba! The three of them were taken away together, so they must have something to do with the machine tool!

When ordering the police to arrest the person, Miyazawa Kiichi called the current patriarch of the Mitsui family. The meaning was very simple. The family must hand over a core child to take the blame; otherwise the Americans will not be satisfied!

Mitsui Group owns many companies covering multiple industries and fields.

Among them, core companies include Sakura Bank, Mitsui \u0026 Co., New Oji Paper, Toshiba, Toyota Motor, Mitsukoshi Department Store, Toray, Mitsui Fudosan, etc. These companies have advantages in industries such as chemical engineering, heavy machinery, integrated electrical machinery, automobile manufacturing, real estate, nuclear power generation, semiconductors, medical and office electronic equipment.

In addition, Mitsui Group also controls a number of affiliated companies through loans, shareholdings and personnel relationships; among them, there are 114 affiliated companies with a shareholding rate of more than 10%. These companies not only have a broad presence within Japan, but also operate globally.

The largest shareholder of Toshiba is the Mitsui family; the controlling family did not agree to a private deal with the Soviet Union; it was impossible to achieve it! Most importantly, professional managers are not so bold. After all, where is the Japanese concept of hierarchy?

The patriarch of the Mitsui family naturally understands the serious relationship. The first priority is to calm the anger of the Americans; the Prime Minister has no choice, otherwise he will not call him personally!

Since you can't hide, you can only follow the Prime Minister's request; you must stand up at the critical moment, otherwise the whole of Japan will be implicated; then the Mitsui family will be the national criminals!

After the Mitsui family patriarch introduced the situation, he said very seriously: "The intention of the Prime Minister's Office is very clear. A core member of the family must take the blame."

"Whoever can take the initiative to stand up and stay for a while; after coming out, the family will definitely use it!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mitsui Toyofumi with interest, his meaning should not be too obvious!

Since Mitsui Toyofumi married Matsushita Miyuki, his status in the family has continued to rise! But with the death of Konosuke Matsushita, he lost his greatest support; his days were getting worse every day!

The higher you were praised before, the more serious the injury would be if you fell; now Mitsui Toyofumi finally understood the meaning of this sentence!

The patriarch's eyes said everything, and everyone else looked towards him. Mitsui Toyofumi knew he couldn't escape, so he thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll surrender myself!"

"But one thing is, no one can bully my wife and children; they deserve no less dividends!"

Everyone said it was no problem and promised to help him take care of his home; he could rest assured.

Since marrying Miyuki Matsushita, the relationship between the two has been very good; now they have a son and a daughter, and their little life is quite nourishing!

Mitsui Toyofumi returned home and immediately called Miyuki Matsushita to his side; he said very seriously: "Toshiba's smuggling of machine tools to the Soviet Union has been discovered by the Americans; I need to bear the main responsibility for this."

"You will probably stay in jail for a while. You have to take care of yourself and your children!"

"Everyone else in the family is only interested in profit; they are all masters who eat people without spitting out their bones. No one can trust them! If you encounter difficulties, you can ask Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group for help; I know that there is no relationship between you. After so many years, No contact either!”

"But at least we were acquaintances once. I believe that the world's richest man will not ignore him!"

After that, he simply packed up his belongings and asked the driver to take him to the police station! At the critical moment; Mitsui Toyofumi is not stupid at all. He knows that Bao Zixuan will definitely despise Matsushita Miyuki at this moment; plus he knows his wife well and will never betray him!

At this moment, Mr. Bao, who was far away in the Soviet Union, kept sneezing. He really didn't know what was going on; after all, no one was sent to monitor Miyuki Matsushita. It doesn’t make any sense, and it can easily cause misunderstandings; the gain outweighs the loss!
