Chapter 394: Son-in-law at home (please subscribe)

In the coffee shop, Li Weidong only stayed for five minutes before waiting for the arrival of Hasegawa Jiaichi.

At this time, Hasegawa Yoshiichi was already dressed neatly, wearing a black suit and very well-groomed. His expression was not as panicked as before, but seemed much calmer.

Hasegawa Jiayi walked into the coffee shop and saw Li Weidong sitting in the corner. He immediately walked forward and sat across from Li Weidong.

The waiter brought a cup of coffee directly to Hasegawa Kaichi.

"Vice President Hasegawa, I ordered a latte for you. I hope you like it." Li Weidong said with a smile.

Hasegawa Yoshikazu asked straight to the point: "What exactly do you want?"

When Li Weidong saw that Hasegawa Jiaichi was so anxious, he did not delay. Instead, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Hasegawa Jiaichi, and then said: "Vice President Hasegawa, this is what I want.

"

As soon as Hasegawa Yoshi opened the envelope and took a closer look, his expression suddenly solidified.

"You want key data on S39009 stainless steel. Are you sent by China Steel Corporation?" Hasegawa Yoshiichi asked immediately.

Recently, only China Steel Corporation has been negotiating with Nissin Seiko Steel for S39009 stainless steel, so Hasegawa Yoshihide immediately thought of China Steel Corporation.

Li Weidong shook his head: "I don't know. People in our profession only need to know the information we should know."

"Are you a professional commercial spy?" Hasegawa Yoshiichi asked.

Li Weidong smiled and acquiesced.

Li Weidong didn't want to have anything to do with Sinosteel, so he simply pretended to be a commercial spy who was paid to do things.

Then Li Weidong said: "Vice President Hasegawa, I don't use the camera that I just took pictures with. The film negatives are also in it. If you are willing to give me what I need, then I will give the camera to you."

Give it to you intact."

"The key data of S39009 stainless steel is the result of our years of research at Nissin Steel. I can't give it to you!" Hasegawa Yoshiichi said, shaking his head.

"Really? If you are not willing to cooperate, the photos in the camera will soon appear in front of President Hasegawa and your wife Keiko Hasegawa. By then, do you think you may still inherit the Japanese spirit?

Steel?" Li Weidong threatened.

Upon hearing "President Hasegawa", Hasegawa Kaichi's expression suddenly became tense.

Nisshin Seiko is a company founded by President Hasegawa himself, and Hasegawa Yoshiichi is President Hasegawa’s designated successor, so he became Nissin Seiko’s vice president.

Hasegawa Yoshiichi was not originally named Hasegawa, nor was he the son of President Hasegawa, but the son-in-law of President Hasegawa. To be precise, he was the son-in-law of the Hasegawa family.

Japan also has a culture of visiting sons-in-law. In Japan, a visiting son-in-law must change his surname to that of his wife and must be buried in the ancestral grave of his wife's family after his death.

However, in Japan, a door-to-door son-in-law does not require a bride price, and can also inherit the assets of his father-in-law's family and become his successor.

Therefore, after Hasegawa Yoshiichi joined his adopted wife Hasegawa's family, he changed his surname to "Hasegawa".

The Japanese do not reject the idea of ​​being a son-in-law. They will not look down on a son-in-law. Instead, they will treat a son-in-law as their own son.

This is mainly because Japan has had a matrilineal society for a long time. In a matrilineal society, it has become a matter of course for a man to take his wife's surname after marrying into the family, so the Japanese have formed this traditional concept.

In the past, Japan used to call "husbands and wives" "wife-husbands" and "brothers and sisters" "brothers". This was also because of the matriarchal society. There is a famous Japanese actor named Tsumabuki Satoshi, whose surname is "Tsumabuki Satoshi".

", which comes from the title "wife and husband".

It is very common for famous families or large companies in Japan to recruit son-in-laws. The reason why they recruit son-in-laws is not because they have no sons to inherit the family business, but to select more suitable family or business heirs.

For example, in the Sumitomo family, one of the four largest chaebols in Japan, the second-generation head, ninth-generation head, and fifteenth-generation head are all sons-in-law.

Another example is the Toyota family. Founder Sakichi Toyoda handed over the entire Toyota consortium to his son-in-law Risaburo Toyoda, so Risaburo Toyoda became the first president of Toyota Motor.

Toyoda Sakichi's eldest son Kiichiro Toyoda, the founder of Toyota Motor, could only serve as the second president of Toyota Motor after his brother-in-law.

There is also former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. His father, Junya Koizumi, once served as the head of the Japanese Defense Agency. He is also a son-in-law.

At that time, Junichiro Koizumi's grandfather, Matajiro Koizumi, was the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives of Japan. He selected Junya Koizumi, who graduated from Nihon University. As his son-in-law, Junya Koizumi inherited the political mantle of the Koizumi family and eventually raised a son as prime minister.

This kind of situation where a son-in-law inherits the family business is common in Japanese political and business circles.

Even many Japanese entrepreneurs would rather have more daughters than sons.

Because in the concept of Japanese entrepreneurs, if a son is born and the son is useless and the family business is handed over to him, the family will be ruined.

But if you give birth to a daughter, you can choose a capable and talented son-in-law to inherit the family business, so that the family can flourish.

You don’t have to choose your son. He gets whatever he is born with, and he can’t return it.

But there are some choices for sons-in-law. There are many young talents in ordinary families who want to join the wealthy and famous families through the way of the party's door-to-door son-in-law.

The same is true for the Hasegawa family. It is not that President Hasegawa does not have a son, but he still chose Hasegawa Yoshiichi as the heir to Nisshin Seiko. It is obvious that President Hasegawa believes that Hasegawa Yoshiichi's ability is better than his own.

My son needs to stand out.

However, Hasegawa Kaichi had an affair during their marriage.

Infidelity in marriage is nothing new in Japan. The infidelity rate in Japan is as high as over 50%. Many people choose to turn a blind eye when they learn that their partner is cheating.

In Japanese culture, even if Hasegawa Yoshiichi is a live-in son-in-law, cheating is not a very serious matter and will not deprive him of his position as the family heir.

But the person whom Hasegawa Yoshiichi cheated on was different, and this was a big problem.

Japan is a highly homogeneous society, and everyone must behave in the same way as everyone else. In this homogeneous society, anything that is unconventional will be regarded as an alien monster.

It was still 1994, and society was far less open and tolerant than it is today. Therefore, Hasegawa Yoshiichi's behavior was definitely not tolerated by society in Japan at that time.

President Hasegawa may be able to accept Hasegawa Yoshiichi's affair during marriage, but he absolutely cannot accept a scandal involving the heir of the family. Once such a scandal spreads, the entire Hasegawa family will immediately become the laughing stock of all Japan.

Therefore, once the photos in the camera are seen by President Hasegawa, Yoshikazu Hasegawa will lose his identity as the heir of Nisshin Seiko.

The reason why Li Weidong knew this was also due to the memory of his previous life.

In a previous life, Hasegawa Kaichi's scandal was eventually caught by the media and then reported.

At that time, this incident caused quite a stir in Japan. Although Nissin Steel is not a top-notch enterprise in Japan, the scale of the enterprise that engages in steel refining is certainly not small.

For the heir to a large company, such a scandal actually happened. This was a very bizarre thing at the time, and it was eye-catching enough, so the media reported it vigorously.

At that time, Li Weidong happened to be a trainee in Japan. I remember that the Japanese media during that period had been reporting on Hasegawa Yoshiichi.

So when He Rong talked about Nisshin Steel that day, Li Weidong thought of Hasegawa Yoshiichi's derailment and realized that he could use this incident to obtain the key data of S39009 from Hasegawa Yoshiichi.

.

If Hasegawa Yoshiichi had just had an ordinary marital affair, the lethality of this move might not be that great, but the person whom Hasegawa Yoshiichi cheated on was something different, and the lethality was extremely high.

So Li Weidong came to Yokohama and found Detective Kitamura to investigate Hasegawa Kaichi. Sure enough, he discovered Hasegawa Kaichi's cheating, and then there was the scene of breaking into a motel to take pictures.

…

When Li Weidong mentioned President Hasegawa, Hasegawa Jiaichi was really nervous. If his father-in-law knew that he was a crook, he would forever lose the hope of inheriting the Hasegawa family.

There is no doubt that compared with the inheritance of the Hasegawa family, the key data of S39009 stainless steel is nothing at all.

Li Weidong also continued to persuade: "Vice President Hasegawa, S39009 stainless steel only occupies a small part of your Nisshin Steel's business volume. Even if you disclose the key data of S39009 stainless steel, it will not affect your Nissin Steel's business."

It won’t have much impact!”

Hasegawa Yoshiichi took a deep breath and continued: "S39009 stainless steel is a key strategic material after all, and it also contains high technology. Although S39009 is not under Batumi control, I also have to consider the United States' technology control. I

We don’t want Nissin Steel to be sanctioned by the United States because of this incident.”

Li Weidong knew that Hasegawa Yoshihiro was just making excuses, so he smiled and said: "Vice President Hasegawa, if you don't tell me, and if I don't tell you, even the people at Nisshin Seiki Steel don't know about it, how can the Americans know?

"

"But after all, this is the core secret of our Nissin Seiko. As the vice president of Nissin Seiko, it is unethical for me to reveal the company's core secrets to others." Hasegawa Yoshiichi continued.

"Vice President Hasegawa, is it moral for you to date other people behind your wife's back?" Li Weidong retorted.

"But..." Hasegawa Yoshiichi was still looking for excuses.

Li Weidong immediately said: "Vice President Hasegawa, there is no 'but'. I have already said that only you and I know about this transaction. You don't have to worry about confidentiality at all. Of course, if you are unwilling to cooperate with me

If so, I don’t mind looking for someone else.”

When Li Weidong said this, he lowered his winning voice and continued: "President Hasegawa also has a son, your wife's brother, who is also a director of Nissin Seiko now, right? If I give him the contents of the camera

, do you think he will give me the key data of S39009 stainless steel?"

Mentioning his brother-in-law, Hasegawa Yoshiichi's expression suddenly twitched again.

President Hasegawa has a son and a daughter. The daughter is naturally the wife of Hasegawa Kaichi. The other son is also a senior executive at Nisshin Seiko.

The younger Hasegawa's ability was relatively average. President Hasegawa was worried that his son would not be able to inherit the family business, so he recruited Hasegawa Yoshiichi as his son-in-law and groomed him as his heir.

Although the Japanese treat their son-in-law as a member of their own family, when it comes to fighting for family assets, even those who are truly related by blood will fight to the death.

If there is a chance to drive away Hasegawa Yoshiichi, then little Hasegawa will naturally become the heir of Nisshin Steel. How can little Hasegawa not be tempted by such a temptation?

Hasegawa Yoshiichi can confirm that if the commercial spy in front of him takes the photos in the camera and goes to Hasegawa Jr., Hasegawa Jr. will definitely use the key data of S39009 to exchange these photos, and then use these photos to lure Hasegawa

Jiayi drove out Nisshin Steel.

President Hasegawa does not have a second daughter to recruit a son-in-law. When the time comes, only Hasegawa Jr. will be the heir to Nisshin Seiko.

Li Weidong seemed to see through Hasegawa Jiaichi's thoughts, and he said: "Vice President Hasegawa, I am determined to obtain this key data of S39009 stainless steel. The only difference is whether you give me the data or Director Hasegawa gives me the data.

For me, it doesn’t matter who gives me the data, I can get what I want, but for you, it is about the ownership of Nissin Seiko, and you may lose Nisshin Seiko!"

Hasegawa Yoshito seemed extremely hesitant for a moment, as if he was caught in a fierce ideological struggle.

Li Weidong did not speak. He drank coffee and slowly waited for Hasegawa Jiaichi to make his own decision.

After waiting for a long time, Li Weidong had finished drinking his coffee. Hasegawa Jiaichi finally sighed, and then said: "Okay, I agree to your request, and I will give you the key data of S39009 stainless steel!"

…

For Hasegawa Yoshiichi, handing over the key data of S39009 stainless steel to Li Weidong was a betrayal of the Hasegawa family.

From the moment he became the son-in-law of the Hasegawa family, Hasegawa Yoshiichi regarded himself as a member of the Hasegawa family, so he worked for Nissin Seiko with trepidation over the years.

This is the culture of the home-in-law son-in-law in Japan. Not only does the mother-in-law’s family not treat the home-in-law son-in-law as an outsider, the home-in-law son-in-law himself will also regard the father-in-law’s family as his own home.

That's why Hasegawa Yoshiichi struggled for so long, because he didn't want to betray the Hasegawa family, let alone his father-in-law, President Hasegawa.

Unfortunately, the situation was stronger than the people, and Hasegawa Yoshiichi finally had to compromise and chose to hand over the key data of S39009.

…

Hasegawa Yoshiichi betrayed his father-in-law. But Li Weidong took the key data of S39009 and went to his father-in-law to claim credit.

At the Sinosteel Corporation headquarters, He Rong looked at the data sent by Li Weidong with a look of surprise on his face.

"Is this the key data of S39009?" He Rong asked.

Li Weidong nodded: "Before sending it, I checked with experts at the university. The experts believed that this is the core data of a high-performance stainless steel. I think Hasegawa Jiaichi did not lie to me."

"Hasegawa Yoshiichi? Vice president of Nissin Seiko? Did he give you this data?" He Rong asked again.

Li Weidong nodded again: "Others dare to give this kind of important data, but I dare not ask for it."

He Rong looked at Li Weidong curiously, and then asked: "We at Sinosteel have been talking to Nissin Steel for a long time, but we haven't obtained these data. How did you get it?"

"I used some less than honorable means." Li Weidong said.

"I understand, you businessmen have smart minds and many crooked ideas. Many times, large state-owned enterprises like ours are really not as good as you! But your crooked ideas can only be used in the business field. Don't use them.

On An An!" He Rong said with a smile.

"How dare I!" Li Weidong replied quickly, and then he asked: "Uncle He, now that the key data is in hand, the research and development of S39009 stainless steel should be no problem, right?"

He Rong nodded: "According to what I know, with these data, the research institute can directly conduct experiments based on these key data. If you are lucky, you can make S390098 stainless steel in one go. If you are not lucky,

It can be completed within a month.”

"Then there's no problem with the blade I need, right?" Li Weidong asked again.

"With the right materials, why don't you worry about not having a blade? Don't worry about this. When we make S39009 stainless steel, we will give you priority in casting blades!" He Rong said with a smile.
