As Iwasaki Hiroyuki said, this is indeed a seven-inch pinching of Mitsubishi. During World War II, it was not the atomic bomb that the United States cost Japan the most. Nuclear weapons are more of a one-time damage, and after knowing the power, that country dare not use it easily.
What really cost Japan the most is the strategic bombing, which is the most deadly existence.
In the latter part of World War II, in order to destroy Japan's economic strength and disintegrate Japan's military morale, the United States stepped up its strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland. A formation of B-29 heavy bombers dispatched from the Marianas by the 20th Air Force of the US Strategic Air Force attacked Japanese airfields and other targets in Tokyo, Yokohama, and southern Kyushu. By the end of the war, the United States had bombed Japan for a total of 810,000 sorties and dropped 140,000 tons of bombs, which accelerated the collapse of the Japanese government.
To strategically bomb a place, you have to have super-large aircraft. Mitsubishi did not have relevant technical reserves before, and the technology of aero-engines was not advanced.
If we can take this opportunity to fully understand the technologies of McDonnell Douglas and Black Cloud, emergencies will occur in the future. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can produce a large aircraft at the first time, which is related to the national strategy, and Iwasaki Hiroyoshi will of course be tempted.
Mitsubishi is a relatively special existence among many consortiums in Japan. The whole country has a lot of support for it. If there is no progress, it will be criticized, and even people will say that they are wasting national resources.
Now there is a good opportunity in front of us, and it is in line with the needs of Mitsubishi's national strategy. It must be grasped in hand and not let the opportunity slip away. Even if he knew that Bao Zixuan was digging a hole for him, he had to jump down.
Iwasaki Hiroyuki: "What Baosang said is really exciting, and the Mitsubishi Group is also very interested. There is no free lunch in the world, everyone is a businessman. You can say what Baosang wants, as long as the conditions are right, Mitsubishi will show sincerity. ."
Time is limited, and the initiative is still in the opponent's hands at this time. Even if it knew that it was cooperating with McDonnell Douglas, it was impossible for Mitsubishi to bypass the black cloud and directly contact others. Regardless of whether the two companies have signed a cooperation agreement, if McDonnell Douglas refuses, it will be difficult to explain to Boeing in the future.
And McDonnell Douglas is very likely to refuse, before the investigation is clear. McDonnell Douglas will definitely consider this a test by Boeing. Of course, it is impossible to have too in-depth contact, let alone trust.
Mitsubishi has been deeply marked by Boeing, and most aircraft manufacturers will take this into consideration before cooperating.
Iwasaki Hiroyuki has made it clear, Bao Zixuan knows that he can't hide it.
Bao Zixuan: "I want to get the shipbuilding technology of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which is of course the most advanced. At the same time, the Black Cloud Group sent 1,000 skilled workers to come to study, and I hope Mitsubishi can cooperate."
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Industry is not only the most advanced in Japan, but also one of the most advanced shipbuilding companies in the world.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is responsible for shipbuilding in the Marine Division, which has four shipyards in total.
Nagasaki Shipyard; the giant battleship "Musashi" was built during World War II, and it is still the most powerful shipbuilding base today. It mainly provides large surface ships for the Self-Defense Forces.
Subordinate headquarters (one 225,000-ton slipway, one 300,000-ton dock, and one 95,000-ton dock), incense burner (one 1 million-ton dock. One 9 million-ton ship repair dock), Yukicho, Isahaya four factories, of which the first two It is for shipbuilding, the third is for shipbuilding equipment, and the last is the general factory, which assembles some components. The annual production capacity is: shipbuilding 1.9 million tons and ship repairing 5.5 million tons. Almost all types of ships in the world except aircraft carriers can be produced.
Kobe Shipyard; used to produce submarines during World War II. It is also Japan's main submarine manufacturing base. It is also the main production base for nuclear facilities in Japan.
Shimonoseki Shipyard; this is a smaller factory that produces small ships. There is a 33,000-ton slipway and a 600-ton special slipway. 40,000, 17,000, 4,000, and 1,000-ton docks each.
Yokohama Works. It mainly produces marine machinery and sometimes repairs some ships. The only subordinate factory is the Benmu Factory, which has 2 repair docks; this factory has nothing to do with the production of military products.
Just come up with a ring that is called in the world, it is the most valuable asset of the Mitsubishi Group. Before the introduction of industrial computers, Mitsubishi had exchanged technical patents with Heiyun for civil shipbuilding technology.
Now that this request is made, it must be that civilian shipbuilding technology can no longer satisfy the young man in front of him. This is to build a warship, which now seems to have been basically determined.
This kid is too ambitious, it took Mitsubishi more than 100 years to develop to such a scale. In less than six years since the establishment of Heiyun, the construction of Heiyun Town in Xiangjiang and the establishment of new districts in Shanghai and Pudong; these are all money-burning behaviors. Now we are going to enter the field of warship manufacturing again; don't you worry that the steps are too big and it is easy to pull over.
Iwasaki Hiroyuki: "I understand what Baosang means, but Mitsubishi shipbuilding technology involves state secrets. We don't have the guts to sell or exchange it. That's an act of treason."
"The technology of civilian ships can be mastered now, and Bao Sang can do whatever he wants. But it is very troublesome when it comes to warships, and it can be said that there is no room for negotiation."
The richest man in Bao didn't know that Iwasaki Hongyi would definitely refuse, this is more of a trial. Mitsubishi Shipbuilding is not necessarily the final decision of the Mitsubishi Group, there must be a shadow of the government.
Bao Zixuan: "I haven't thought about producing warships, but it would be good to be able to produce civilian ships. But Heiyun Group has no experience in this regard, and the shipbuilding technology exchanged last time is still there. The engineering and technical personnel are up to now. I haven’t figured it out yet. Everyone says that building a ship is harder than building a plane. I didn’t believe it before, but now I’m really convinced.”
"Heiyun engineers and technicians have to go to the Mitsubishi Shipyard for an internship before they can learn their skills. Just relying on their own exploration, it may take a long time for the Heiyun's ship to be launched."
What Bao Zixuan said was very clear, and he wanted to join the manufacturing of large aircraft. The shipbuilding technology must be open to the black cloud, and it must be done without reservation.
This requires balancing interests, for the technology of super-large passenger aircraft; whether it is worthwhile to cultivate a shipbuilding opponent.
Heiyun Group can learn shipbuilding technology in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. There may be some differences with Japanese technology; overall performance is definitely not much worse. There are only three companies in the world that can design and manufacture super-large passenger aircraft. Airbus is a product of the whole of Europe, and it is impossible to agree to allow Japanese companies to join. And the distance is relatively far, and in the end, I can't learn anything. It's almost the same as Boeing. What's the point of being a parts supplier.
Boeing simply looks down on Japanese companies, including Mitsubishi, of course. As long as you do your job as a parts supplier, don't think about anything else.
At present, this is the only opportunity, and this opportunity is lost; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries may have to wait for many years to have the manufacturing technology of super-large aircraft.
Bao Zixuan dispatched 1,000 skilled workers, and its purpose is certainly not only civilian shipbuilding. As long as the warship technology is strictly guarded, it is estimated that there will be no storms.
This kid has great ambitions, and may even do some outrageous things in order to achieve his goals. However, Mitsubishi is not a company that is easy to bully. It is a big deal Iwasaki Hiroyuki: "I agree with this plan in principle, and I will report to the board of directors about the final result. Although I am the person in charge of Mitsubishi , a lot of things can't be directly decided. But I don't think it's a big problem, after all, it's a win-win thing."
Bao Zixuan knew that this had happened, and Hiroyuki Iwasaki dared to make such a statement. It proves that he is confident that his identity has reached a certain level, but he will not easily accept anything.
Of course, the purpose of the richest man is not just for civilian ships. The manufacture of Mitsubishi warships is the technology he wants most. That is, through these 1,000 engineering and technical personnel, during the exchange period at the Mitsubishi Shipyard, a lot of technical information was returned. Combined with the simulation analysis of large-scale industrial computers; the Black Cloud Group thoroughly understands all the warships produced by Mitsubishi, so that many of the warships produced by Mitsubishi have no secrets in front of Heiyun.
Military facilities are like live targets without secrets. The military has to ask major shipyards to redesign them. The service life of a warship is generally more than 20 years, and the Japanese side has created a precedent. Basically, most of the ships that were replaced in less than 5 years; all of them were due to Mitsubishi in order to obtain super-large passenger aircraft technology.
Iwasaki Hiroyuki was almost dug out. It was his shortsightedness and overconfidence that caused Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to lose so much.
