MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 618 Suppressed by the Big Four

"You can see that Minano Shuichi's companies are indeed initially gaining momentum as monopolies. They are already on a par with us in technology and the market, and even better than us in real estate and automobile companies. His real estate The company owns a large amount of land, which was purchased at a low cost at the beginning, and then the real estate will be profitable. His Nanye Motor Company now almost dominates the domestic market, and it is also brilliant in foreign markets..." Fuji Kojiro said.

   "Well, let's join forces this time against the Nanye Group! If possible, I hope we can divide it up."

   "But Minamino Shuuichi is backed by the Morgan consortium, so it may not be successful at that time!" Sumitomo Village said in a deep voice.

   "Even if you can't swallow it, you have to crush it so that it can't lift its head."

   "Yo Xi!"

Just when the four major consortiums were conspiring, Miwa Kutaro once again said to Minami Hideyoshi: "Mr. Minano, wouldn't you consider joining our alliance? Joining us is believed to be a very good help against the four major consortia. "

   Now Miwa Kutaro is very aware of his pressure. He feels that Minano Shuichi is not bad, and pulling him and tying him to a chariot will increase his strength a bit.

   "Sorry, I haven't thought about it yet." Minamino Shuichi politely refused.

   "It's okay, I hope you can come to my company as a guest in the future." Miwa Kutaro didn't continue to say anything. Because he knew in his heart that as long as the four major consortiums united to deal with Minami Shuuichi, one day they would come to him for help. When that time comes, hum! It won't be as good as it is now.

   The party this time came to a successful end soon, and the strength of the Nanye Group was also greatly promoted in this party. After all, five companies have entered the top 50 in the country, and this kind of gold content is very high.

   A few days later, when Minamino Shuichi was planning to go on a business trip, the headquarters of Minano Motor Company sent him bad news. That is, the suppliers of steel are raising the price of cold-rolled auto sheet!

   After getting the news, Hideyoshi Minano immediately came to the headquarters of Minamino Motor Company.

In the conference room, Fujiki, the manager of the purchasing department, reported to Hideyoshi Nanye: "Mr. Chairman, our auto company's cold-rolled auto steel plates are all purchased from the island country steel pipe company. This morning, the other party came to negotiate with us about the next batch of They want to raise the price of cold-rolled auto steel sheet by 20%! They say that their cost has increased, so the price of the finished product will also increase!"

   "Nani? Increase the price by 20%! They really start the price on the ground." Minami Shuichi narrowed his eyes. He knew that the manufacture of automobiles is inseparable from steel. General automobile companies directly purchase cold-rolled automobile steel plates from steel companies to manufacture automobile chassis, body and chassis beams, etc.

   "Yes, the other party doesn't give in! Even if we don't want our order, they will supply us with a 20% increase in price." Fujiki sighed. It's the rhythm that breaks down.

   "Heh... I remember that the Shimoku Steel Pipe Company seems to be a steel company under the Fuji Consortium, right? It seems that the Fuji Consortium wants to deceive me now." Minamino Shuichi sneered.

   He knew that the island country steel pipe company belongs to a large steel company, it is a steel company, the company has many factories in Yokohama, Kawasaki and other places. It has subsidiaries and offices in many foreign countries. The main products and business scope include: steel, steel pipes, steel plates, alloy steels, ships, complete sets of machinery and equipment, steel components, as well as ship repairs and contracting civil works, etc.

   And the production of cold-rolled auto steel sheets is not something that every steel company can produce, at least those small and medium-sized steel companies cannot. Now the other party is sitting on the ground and raising the price is to see that Shuichi Nanye can't get the goods in other places!

   "Mr. Chairman, don't we want to get the goods from the steel factories of the other three major consortiums?" Fujiki asked cautiously.

   "No need! Since the Fujiki Consortium is targeting me, the other three consortiums will definitely do the same. We don't need to waste time." Minami Shuuichi is not a fool, if not for the collusion of the four major consortiums. The Fuji Foundation will definitely not dare to raise the price so arrogantly. If it follows such an arrogant price hike, it will definitely lose the large order of Nanye Motor Company. After all, Minano Shuichi can also go to the steel factories of the other three consortiums to get the goods.

   But now it is obvious that the four major financial groups have colluded to dare to do this!

  Although cold-rolled automobile sheet is a kind of steel, its quality requirements are very high. In the 1980s and 1990s, the steel mills in Huaxia were unable to manufacture this kind of steel, and they all relied on imports. In the end, the technology of Nippon Steel Corporation was introduced to produce this steel.

   This is enough to prove that this kind of cold-rolled automobile steel plate is not produced by an ordinary small and medium-sized steel company.

   At present, there are five steel companies in the entire island country that can produce it!

   Four of these five steel plants are owned by the four major consortiums, and the other is the Kawasaki Steel Company under the First Quanyin Group! The First Quanyin Group will also become a consortium in the future. Now it is fighting against the four major consortiums with Sanhe Group.

   From this point, we can see how huge the energy of the consortium is!

  The four major consortiums have almost completely formed a monopoly trend in important fields such as heavy industry, mining, banking, steel, oil and so on!

   Not only these, but also many raw materials are monopolized by them!

   Such raw materials as rubber, oil, iron ore, copper mine, coal mine, etc. are all in the hands of these consortia. Domestic companies want to buy almost all of these raw materials from them.

   Because they control those mineral resources abroad! This monopoly is called controlling upstream mineral resources! What is upstream? Upstream refers to those oil fields that have not been mined or are being mined, iron ore veins, copper ore veins, etc.

   Even if you don’t buy at home, but go abroad to buy, others are in control of these resources, and in the end you can only buy from others.

   So the price is still up to others!

   This is Monopoly!

   is like a hen and chicken, the hen and chicken that the master has laid eggs!

   "Then, what should we do? We can't stop the car production workshop, right? How will our car orders be completed once the production stops? Our entire company will be in trouble." Fujiki said with a bitter face. The production of automobiles must have cold-rolled automobile steel plates. How can we produce without this?

  Once the production chain is broken, the daily loss will be calculated in billions!

   "We can also go to another steel company to buy cold-rolled auto steel sheets. That is to go to Kawasaki Steel Company, a subsidiary of the First Quan Yin Group. The quality of the cold-rolled auto steel sheets they produce has no problem at all." Hideo Minami said.

   "Okay, I'll contact them now!" Fujiki seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. As the manager of the purchasing department, he was very nervous about the shortage of cold-rolled auto steel sheets. This is about the safety of the company.

  Kawasaki Steel was established on October 15, 1896. It is one of the largest steel manufacturers in the world, providing more than 26 million tons of steel products to users in more than 60 countries around the world every year. Kawasaki Steel is located in the island country of Kawasaki City (Kawasaki City), headquartered in Tokyo City, subordinates: Chiba Plant; Chiba Plant Nishinomiya Branch; Mizushima Plant; Steel products, including stainless steel hot-rolled coils, steel bars, steel plates, seamless tubes, steel bars, cold-rolled steel sheets, conductive steel sheets and stainless steel products, etc., are rated as "the most competitive steel manufacturing in the world" by American Imperial Investment Bank. Business”, Kawasaki Steel is determined to become the world’s leading steel manufacturer in the 21st century by virtue of its technological competitiveness in the rapidly changing global business environment.

   "Hmph, since the four major financial groups are suppressing me, I will cooperate with other groups." Nanye Xiuyi sneered in his heart.

   Soon Fujiki contacted Kawasaki Steel Company!

   However, Fujiki received news from the other party that the other party asked Shuichi Nanye to come in person, and their chairman had something to talk about with Shun Nanye.

  When Fujiki passed the news to Shuichi Minano, he was a little surprised, and he didn't know what medicine the other party was selling in the gourd!

  Due to the lack of time, the cold-rolled automobile steel plate inventory in the warehouse of Nanye Motor Company can only be used for half a month, so he immediately went to the headquarters of Kawasaki Steel Company.

   I met Katsuta Miyabayashi, the company's chairman, at the headquarters Minano Shuichi!

   However, he also met an acquaintance here, that is - Miwa Kutaro.

   "Hello, Mr. Minano, I'm Katsuta Miyabayashi, chairman of Kawasaki Steel Corporation." Katsuta Miyabayashi greeted Shuichi Minano warmly after seeing him.

   "Hello, I'm Shuichi Minano." Shuichi Minano also shook hands with each other enthusiastically.

   After sitting down, Katsuta Miyabayashi didn't speak, but Kutaro Miwa, who was sitting next to him, spoke up: "Mr. Minano, I haven't seen you for a few days. I said you would come to us."

   This sentence made Minano Xiuyi frown slightly, it seems that the situation is not very good! He knew that the Sanhe Group and the First Quan Yin Group were now a pair of pants. Could it be that the other party sees that he is being suppressed by the four major consortiums, and now wants to cheat him?

   "Mr. Miwa is really predictable." Minami Shuichi planned to take a step by step. He knew from the moment he entered the door and saw Miwa Kutaro here, the negotiation today would not be very good.

   "Mr. Miyabayashi, this is the case. I came here today to bring some orders for cold-rolled auto steel sheets from your company. Our company wants to purchase a large number of cold-rolled auto steel sheets." Minami Hideyoshi said straight to the point.

   "I know this, your company's manager Fujiki mentioned it to me." Katsuta Gongbayashi smiled.

   "Then I don't know what Mr. Miyabayashi thinks? I don't know what your prices are here?" Minano Shuichi asked. He felt that the other party should not sit on the ground and raise the price. After all, he and the other party are not mortal enemies, but a customer business relationship.
