MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 565 Series C financing

   "Now... fight?" Drunk-eyed Mandy's face was shy. At this time, it is not appropriate to fight with three people for the main game, right? She now feels that she is sorry for her fiancé.

   "What are you afraid of! Hit~"

  “toot…”

   In the end, Mandy could only make a phone call under the coercion of Shuichi Minano.

   "Hello? My dear, I don't have time to go home after working overtime tonight. Go to bed earlier." Mandy said weakly to her fiance on the phone.

   "Working overtime today? Why are you so late. Why is your voice so weak?" The fiancé heard something unusual on the phone.

   "I'm tired from a busy day today. Go to bed early." Mandy whispered.

   "Okay, then you pay attention to your body, good night."

   "Good night." Mandy's fiancé also hung up the phone without doubting anything.

   "Hahaha... Now we can continue to fight the landlords."

  …

   It was an all-nighter, a wonderful night.

   The next morning, Hideichi Nanye only got up in the morning.

   When he got up, he found that both Mandy and Monica were gone, so they probably left early.

   "Hey, last night was really interesting." Shaking his head, after washing up and having breakfast, Minano Shuichi and his secretary went to the Michelin company's manufacturing plant. Yesterday, we agreed to visit the Michelin tire factory at 11:00 in the morning.

   Came to the Michelin tire factory, and he was still greeted by Brook, Mandy and Monica.

  When Minano Shuichi saw the two girls again, they didn't meet his eyes very much, it must be because of what happened last night.

   "Mr. Minano slept well last night?" Brooke said to Minami Xiu with a smile. He didn't know what happened last night.

   "It's okay." Minamino Xiuyi glanced at Mandy and Monica with a smile. Monica is better, she is single now, but Mandy is different, she feels that she is at a loss!

   "So how about we start the tour?" Brooke asked.

"it is good."

   The group began to visit the tire factory under the guidance of the staff, from the production workshop to the technical research department and other departments. It is estimated that it will take about an hour to come down.

   soon arrived at the production workshop.

   "Mr. Minano, these are our newest radial tires this year. Do you see how it goes? It's being tested here." Brook pointed to the piles of tire tracks ahead.

   "Test, let's go and see." Minamino Shuichi was very interested.

  Radial tires Radial tires are a structural form of tires, different from bias tires, arched tires, pressure-regulated tires, etc. The international code for radial tires is "R", commonly known as "steel tires".

  ? In 1946, Michelin Tire Company trial-produced the world's first radial tire. The invention of the radial tire is a revolution in the tire industry and has become a new direction for the development of automobile tires.

  The appearance of the famous radial tire made Michelin Tire Company become the world's first tire manufacturer.

  Under Brook's explanation, Minamino Shuichi knew some advantages of radial tires.

For example, the cord arrangement of radial tire carcass is different from bias tire. There is no intersection point between the body cords. When the tire is running, the stress around the crown increases, which will cause circumferential stretching and radial cracks in the carcass.

Therefore, the buffer layer of the radial tire adopts the contacting cord layer arranged in the circumferential direction, which intersects with the carcass cord at an angle of 90°, generally 70° to 78°, forming a rigid annular belt that can hardly stretch, fixing the entire tire. , to limit the circumferential deformation of the tire. This buffer layer bears 60% to 70% of the internal stress of the entire tire and becomes the main stress component of the radial tire, so it is called the belt layer of the radial tire.

   After reading the test, Shuichi Minano was deeply shocked. I have to say that the tires produced by the Michelin Group are indeed in the leading position in the world.

   "Mr. Minano, this is our latest new tire this year - "x" type tubeless!" Then Brook recommended a newly launched tire to Shuichi Minano.

   "This tire is currently positioned for buses and trucks," explains Brook.

   "Well, it's very good, I'm very interested." Minamino Shuichi's car factory not only produces cars, but also buses and trucks. He can buy this tire.

   Brooke's eyes lit up when he heard Shuichi Minano's words, and he continued to introduce products one by one.

   After a visit, Minano Shuichi decided to order the tires his car company needed from Michelin! In fact, he knows that Michelin's radial tires are indeed the best in the world, and ordering here is indeed the best choice.

  This time the order is a five-year order, that is, as many tires as Minamino will order as many cars as he produces.

  After this order was negotiated, Brook almost enshrined Shuichi Minamino as a god-like existence on the spot.

   "Thank you Mr. Minano for any and support to our company." After signing the order, Brooke enthusiastically extended his hand to Shuichi Minano.

   "It's your Michelin radial tires." Minamino Shuichi smiled.

   "By the way, I heard that your company is preparing for Series C financing recently?" Minano Shuichi suddenly asked Brooke.

   "How do you know, yes, we Michelin are preparing for Series C financing recently." Brooke smiled. Of course he knows this stuff as a manager. At present, Michelin has developed to a bottleneck. If you want to open more channels in the international market, you must raise funds to expand the company!

   This is an unavoidable existence for a company. Unless you are a company under a consortium, then you don’t need financing, and the consortium directly allocates money for financing, and the final shares are still in the hands of the consortium.

   "Can you tell me? I'm very interested in this." Minami Hideyoshi said. In fact, Minano Shuichi is quite interested in Michelin's C-round financing. Because he knows that this company will always be the dominant presence in the tire industry in the future. If possible, he also intends to raise a sum of money along with it. At that time, it's time to wait for the dividends every year.

   He knows that this company will not go bankrupt in the next few decades, and it is getting bigger and bigger. It is definitely a good thing to make such a financing investment! Of course, the thing he most wants to do is to acquire Michelin, but he currently has no financial resources to acquire it, so he can only choose to raise a share of the pie.
