Bao Zixuan and Wu Baifu have already determined the general direction, and the rest can be handed over to the people below to follow up. Moreover, the richest man is just a pure investment; as long as the business is operating normally, making money is not a problem at all. The most important thing is to get a factory, although Heiyun has to pay for it. But compared to the income, it is nothing at all.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Bao Zixuan came to the office of Iwasaki Hiroyuki of the Tokyo-Mitsubishi Group. Japan's Mitsubishi and South Korea's Samsung can be said to be equal. Although Samsung is more important than Korea, it is not because Samsung is stronger than Mitsubishi. It is because of Japan's stronger economic scale and technological strength that Mitsubishi does not seem to have the detached status of Samsung in South Korea.
In later generations, there are only a few SUV models in the Chinese market, so for Chinese consumers, Mitsubishi's presence is no longer the same as it was ten years ago. Coupled with the fact that it was severely hit by Nissan's report on fuel consumption fraud, and then was acquired by Renault-Nissan at a low price, the once passionate and full of black technology Mitsubishi Motors has also drifted away. Seeing this situation, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will think that the Mitsubishi brand has been dying, and is even about to go bankrupt.
That's because I don't know what strength the real Mitsubishi has. Mitsubishi Motors is only the most unwelcome existence among the many branches of Mitsubishi, and it is understandable to say that it has the lowest status. In fact, the Mitsubishi Group not only uses Mitsubishi Motors, but also owns Fuso Motors, which specializes in the production of trucks, buses and special vehicles. Although it was acquired by Daimler Group, it is still necessary to use the Mitsubishi logo to attract consumers in Japan.
To say that the most important company under Mitsubishi is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; it is a "national treasure" enterprise of the Mitsubishi Group. In the automotive industry, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries manufactures not only automotive parts such as turbochargers and air conditioner compressors, but also manufacturing machinery such as machine tools and automotive tire production machines. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can manufacture and produce by itself.
These are just appetizers for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In addition to logistics and environmental protection business, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has also made great achievements in many fields. It is worth mentioning that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is also Japan's largest military enterprise.
The famous Zero fighter during World War II came from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and it is still providing military aircraft for the Japanese Self-Defense Force. In the field of civil aviation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can produce up to 35% of the parts for Boeing 747 passenger aircraft, including the composite wing with the highest technology content on the Boeing 747.
In addition, in terms of aerospace, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has also made great achievements. It can produce two launch vehicles of Japan's H2A and H2B participating in the International Space Station.
Bao's richest man is most interested in the shipbuilding business of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The Mitsubishi Group has a background in shipping, and shipbuilding seems to be a matter of course. Among them, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is involved in everything from oil tankers, container carriers, passenger ships, to special purpose ships responsible for marine research. In addition, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can produce low-carbon marine gas turbines to reduce the impact of shipping on the global climate.
In addition, most of the Navy's warships and submarines are also from the hands of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which shows its strength and achievements in the field of shipbuilding.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries also has technologies such as elevators, tanks, subways, forklifts, air conditioners, retractable roofs, eccentric Ferris wheels, wind and solar power generation, and high-rise building earthquake protection; the coverage is quite extensive.
Nikon cameras are also held by the Mitsubishi Group and are considered a member of the Mitsubishi Group. This is the top three optical overlords in the world, which shows that Mitsubishi's achievements in the field of optics and chips are definitely not low.
The Japanese shipping company is also an important member of the Mitsubishi Group. The company has the world's largest ro-ro carrier and 660,000 transport vehicles, which directly account for 17% of the global automobile transportation share. At the same time, Japanese shipping companies are now also entering the air transport industry and real estate.
Like the Black Cloud Group, the Mitsubishi Group established Seikei University as early as 1949. The university is located in Tokyo, Japan, coupled with its unique relationship with the Mitsubishi Foundation, so most of the students are also the children of Japanese nobles or businessmen.
In addition, the Mitsubishi Group also owns insurance companies, Mitsubishi Bank, Mitsubishi Steel Corporation, Mitsubishi Materials Science Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. In short, there are very few tools and materials used by people in this world that the Mitsubishi Group cannot produce.
Among them, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation owns Mitsubishi Pharmaceutical, Mitsubishi Rayon, and a semiconductor storage company, and is also producing chemical-related automotive components, such as plastic decorative panels in cars, automotive lithium-ion power batteries, and carbon fiber composite materials.
In material science, it is absolutely leading the world, and it can be said to be a well-deserved giant. An absolute strategic-level company, the world's comparable companies can be described as phoenix feathers.
Although the Black Cloud Group is also developing in the direction of the Mitsubishi Group, Bao Zixuan knows it. Now the strength of the two companies is very different, and they are not at the same heavyweight at all.
The Mitsubishi Group has been developing for more than 100 years and has already completed its original accumulation. Whether it is the cultivation of family members or the construction of talent echelon, it has been handy.
On the other hand, in the Heiyun Group, only Bao Zixuan decides everything. The entrepreneur is very capable, and it is not easy to make major mistakes. But what to do if the successor is not capable, this is the Chinese saying that the wealth is only three generations.
The Black Cloud Group seems to be developing rapidly, but there are too many hidden dangers. Bao Zixuan really wanted to change, but it was difficult for one person to make a big breakthrough.
The richest man Bao looked at the introduction of the various branches of the Mitsubishi Group and said: "The strength of the Mitsubishi Group is one of the best in the world. If I exchange it with the Black Cloud Group, I will not hesitate."
Everyone knows that this is a joke. Even if the two of them agree, the Japanese government and the Hong Kong and British governments will not agree. Bao Zixuan's nominal control of Mitsubishi is not very useful, and the people below will not necessarily listen to you. The same is true for the Iwasaki family, and the management and engineers of Heiyun may not necessarily give face.
Iwasaki Hiroyuki said with a smile: "I have no problem, but it doesn't matter if I talk about Mitsubishi alone. Unlike Baosang, the entire Heiyun Group has only you as a shareholder. After so many years of development, Mitsubishi's shareholding structure is quite complex."
Although he knew that what Bao Zixuan said was more of a compliment, it was very comfortable to listen to. Although it is impossible for the two companies to exchange, they still cannot directly talk to death. Saving face for each other is the most basic courtesy in business negotiations.
Bao Zixuan: "That's really a pity. The main purpose of coming to Japan this time is to strengthen cooperation with the Mitsubishi Group. At present, many parts of Boeing are produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and some parts orders for the Heiyun 919 passenger aircraft can also be handed over. Made by Mitsubishi."
"At the same time, I know that Mitsubishi has always had the dream of building a large aircraft, and the Black Cloud Group has reached an agreement with McDonnell Douglas. McDonnell Douglas is responsible for the overall design, and Black Cloud is responsible for the design and production of core components such as the override system and aero-engines. A supplier with a well-established aircraft manufacturing system. If Mitsubishi is interested, the three of us can form a joint venture to specialize in the production of super-large civil airliners.”
Bao Zixuan's proposal Iwasaki Hongyi is very interested, if no American company joins. He really dare not do it After all, where is the strength of Boeing. Americans have also been wary of Japanese companies, not allowing them to produce large passenger jets. Otherwise, with Japanese technology, it is really not difficult to produce large civilian airliners.
If Boeing's threat is faced by McDonnell Douglas, the success rate of the project will be very high. If it's just Heiyun and Mitsubishi, it's really not necessarily able to get things done. The super-large civil airliner involves too many political factors. It is not just money and technology that can make the plane fly.
Bao Zixuan has never suffered a loss in business, and now he has an order for Heiyun 919 passenger aircraft parts and a joint venture to produce super-large passenger aircraft. This can all bring Mitsubishi to make a fortune, and at the same time can enhance the overall strength of Mitsubishi.
There is no free lunch in the world, this kid must have something to ask for. Everyone is smart, and they won't easily cheapen their competitors.
Iwasaki Hiroyuki: "Everyone will be tempted by the conditions proposed by Baosang, and it seems to be tailor-made for Mitsubishi. We have a cooperative relationship, and there is also a competitive relationship in it. There is no company in the world that helps competitors without asking for anything in return. If you have any conditions, please state clearly, at least let me know."
The bait given by Bao Zixuan is not too small, even if it is as strong as Mitsubishi Group, it will be tempted. Now it depends on what conditions Bao's richest man puts forward, and whether Mitsubishi can bear it.
