v2 Chapter 1008： The sincerity of the Sumitomo family

The future patriarch of the Sumitomo family came to Hong Kong this time, not only to attend the funeral of Mr. Dong Haoyun. Another very important reason is to visit the Xiangjiang market and meet with Bao Zixuan of the Heiyun Group.

Therefore, before coming here, Sumitomo Yi had already greeted Bao Zixuan, and his father wanted to meet him. Although he was very dissatisfied with this man who was younger than himself, he was already able to talk to his grandfather on an equal footing. But even if you are not convinced, you have to endure it. Even the father has to use the word visit. He negotiated with others, which is really a bit unequal.

But where are the strengths and achievements of others, in this regard, they have to be admired.

The Sumitomo family came to Xiangjiang, and after attending the funeral of Mr. Dong, they were going to see him, and there must be something to discuss. Bao Zixuan did not refuse the request for a meeting; where is the strength and heritage of the Sumitomo family, the face that should be given must be given.

Here I have to mention the composition of Japan's economic lifeline. In this era, the Chinese people's understanding of well-known Japanese companies is not so deep; Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Toyota, Honda and other companies may be more famous. But these companies are really nothing in Japan. At most, it is only a part of the consortium, and even its own destiny is difficult to control.

The four major consortia, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Yasuda, centered on family chaebols, are the earliest monopoly consortiums formed in Japan. Today, six major monopoly conglomerates, including Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji (Furong), Sanwa, and Daiichi Bank, hold the economic lifeline of Japan and control a large number of Japanese companies.

No matter how you calculate it, the Sumitomo family is considered a famous family in Japan, a century-old business family.

After Japan's defeat in the war, various chaebols disintegrated and reorganized into conglomerates under the restrictions of the United States. With the disintegration of the consortium after the war, Sumitomo's companies also embarked on their own independent paths, and the Sumitomo family's influence on Japan's politics and economy has also been greatly weakened.

However, with the recovery of the Japanese economy after the war, the Sumitomo Consortium has made a comeback and has grown stronger day by day. It has played a role in different business fields. Since then, Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. has participated more widely in international trade activities in the fields of metals, machinery, petroleum, chemicals, food and textiles, and has become the core company of the Sumitomo Foundation and Japan's four major trading companies. one of the merchants.

Sumitomo Masahiro's "Wenshu Monastery Will" has been passed down from generation to generation as Sumitomo's corporate spirit. At present, Sumitomo Group has become one of the few enterprise groups in Japan; many of its subsidiaries have entered the ranks of the world's top 500 companies.

The core system of the Sumitomo Group is called "Sumitomo three major companies", which are three companies: Sumitomo Bank, Sumitomo Metal Industries, and Sumitomo Chemical. Among them, Sumitomo Bank has the highest status. Sumitomo Bank ranks at the forefront of urban banks both in terms of capital capacity and income.

However, what Bao Zixuan values ​​most is Sumitomo Chemical, especially in the field of photoresist, which can be said to have a dominant position. It even has absolute pricing power, which is the core of future development.

As for the banking business, as long as the funds allow, and modernization is being carried out, I believe that Heiyun Bank will not be worse than other banks. But the chemical industry needs to progress step by step, and scientific research has no shortcuts.

At present, the knowledge that Bao Zixuan can use is almost exhausted. At most, it should be stronger than its competitors in terms of vision or control of future development. However, in basic scientific research, if you want to achieve transcendence or crushing, you must continue to invest.

Accompanied by Sumitomo Takeshi; his father, who is also the future patriarch of the Sumitomo family, is now the chairman of Sumitomo Bank, and Ichiro Sumitomo came to the headquarters of Black Cloud Bank.

On the way to the New Territories, I saw construction vehicles constantly entering. Before I came to Heiyun Bank, I saw that many people were already busy; workers were building houses and roads far away.

Sumitomo Ichiro said to his son: "I just heard that Bao Zixuan is building a black cloud town in the New Territories. The area is very large. Today, I see it with my own eyes and I understand that what I said is true. Even the Sumitomo family dare not invest in such a huge project at one time. ."

This young man is either a lunatic or has absolute confidence. Obviously, the latter is more likely.

It has been a while since I came to Xiangjiang, and I have seen with my own eyes the speed of the Heiyun Group's infrastructure construction. Japan is a country with many earthquakes and tsunamis, and some places really dare not build like Xiangjiang. The domestic construction efficiency in Japan is definitely not low, but compared with the Black Cloud Town, it is really not a star. Every time I come here, I can see obvious changes, which is Sumitomo Takeshi's true thoughts.

Sumitomo Takeshi: "The construction speed here is very fast, which is unimaginable. Moreover, the workers from China mainland rarely rest. It is definitely the most hard-working existence in the world. Is the family considering investing in China mainland to build a factory?"

"But there is one thing I haven't figured out; the construction speed is fast, which means that the construction cost will increase. What is Bao Zixuan doing? Normal people will never do this."

Sumitomo Ichiro was very relieved to hear his son said that he had invested in China in the past. It is very rare to prove that this kid is thinking hard and can see the essence of things.

As long as you don't make serious mistakes, there is basically no problem with becoming a patriarch. After becoming the patriarch, the next generation must be assessed. Although it is said that they are treated equally, but people have subjective initiative, it is inevitable that there will be tendencies and selfishness.

Sumitomo Ichiro: "I didn't understand it before, but I didn't understand this issue until Mr. Dong passed away. Unlike us, Bao Zixuan is a generational generation; Much easier."

"And it can leave a deep imprint on the family, at least an existence that future generations cannot surpass."

"Mr. Dong Haoyun did not increase investment before his death, but wanted to complete the industrial layout. Both of them have the same meaning, that is, they want to take advantage of the limited time to complete everything they can do."

"The construction progress is fast, and it only takes a little more money; this is the smallest problem for Bao Zixuan. If it can be completed as quickly as possible, then it can free up time and manpower; to do other things, this is what he wants. purpose achieved.”

"In addition, you mentioned China Mainland, and the family is indeed considering it. At present, China is also actively inviting the family to invest in the past. If you are interested, you can check it out in advance. The investment scale of the family in China will not be small, after all, it has a vast territory and a population. There are many. The development potential is bigger than that of Hong Kong and even Japan.”

Hearing that his father asked him to inspect the Chinese mainland market, Sumitomo Yi immediately understood what it meant. The family's past investment in China mainland is a sure thing, and it will basically not change. Moreover, the scale of investment will be very large; there is not much opportunity in Japan. My grandfather is still there, and my father has just grasped some real power.

There are too many elders in the family, and it is difficult for him to be a junior. When I came to Xiangjiang, I wanted to make a breakthrough. Although I had achieved certain results in the early stage, this kind of achievement could become a landmine at any time.

At present, the reason why Sumitomo Bank Heungkong Branch is outstanding is because it has undertaken a lot of business from Heiyun Group. Heiyun Group not only cooperates with Sumitomo Bank, but also owns a bank. In addition, the other party also has very close cooperation with Mitsubishi Bank in Japan, and the relationship is even better.

That is to say, the cooperation between the Black Cloud Group and Sumitomo Bank may be terminated at any time. If the client of Heiyun Group is lost, then Sumitomo Bank's performance in Heung Kong will not be outstanding at all.

Sumitomo Takeshi was like a mirror in his heart. In fact, why did his father not know. Otherwise, the future patriarch of a 400-year-old family will take the initiative to visit a young businessman, and this businessman has no background.

But then again, the hero does not ask the source. The British royal family is stronger than the Sumitomo family in terms of identity and status, but Bao Zixuan will still be given due respect, maybe this is the strength!

Since the development of Heung Kong is limited, China may have been a breakthrough in the past.

Sumitomo Yi: "I have been studying the investment of Heiyun Group in mainland China recently, and I am also analyzing the future development of China. I feel that investing in the real estate industry will be a good choice for industrial development in China."

"Although Heiyun Group has not entered the real estate field, Bao Zixuan's Hutchison Whampoa company has been engaged in real estate development. Bao Zixuan himself has purchased a lot of real estate in Huaxia Kyoto and Shanghai, and its scale is no smaller than his investment in Japan. It's just that China's land prices and housing prices are relatively low, so it's not reflected."

Hearing his son's analysis, Sumitomo Ichiro was very relieved; it seems that this son is gradually maturing. If you can develop according to this momentum, maybe you can really take over your own class.
