Chapter 948: The Source of Mitsui's Power
Since early October, Nippon Railway Corporation has received notifications from several large companies that they will temporarily stop purchasing raw materials needed for production from Nippon Railway Corporation.
Looking at the notice in front of him, Akio Mimura, who has always seemed confident and capable, frowned. These customers who sent the notice accounted for nearly 72% of the sales of XinniTeam products, especially the addition of several major auto manufacturers. Auto manufacturers are major users of high-quality steel and an important source of profit for the company. This is equivalent to someone who tightly pinched XinniTeam's neck with his hands. Not to mention eating, it is difficult to breathe alone.
AkioMimura is very puzzled. How could so many customers attack at the same time? In Japan, Nippon Railway is the largest in the industry and the most advanced technology, but they are not the only one. In addition, there are seven companies that are the same or similar to the products they produce. If these companies do not purchase goods from Nippon Railway, they will undoubtedly turn to other companies. The consequences are that they will not only weaken the Nippon Railway's strength, but also cultivate more competitors for them.
AkioMimura initially looked for the reasons from within himself, but thought that there was something wrong with his product. After detailed traceability, he did not find any problems with the product, nor did he find any collective offending customers, which made him even more confused.
Since he couldn't figure it out, AkioMimura had to ask the customers directly why. The companies did not explain the reasons for termination of the purchase in the notices sent by them, which made him even more depressed. No one answered his questions at all. It seemed that they had formed a united front. AkioMimura was going to visit the bosses of those companies, but they were told that the boss was not here and he could not even see anyone.
On the one hand, these companies are difficult to explain why they do not purchase goods from Nissotel. On the other hand, they also take into account their own face. In a word, they are just an uncooperative attitude. If they offend others, they will leave it to Sara Matsusaka. Originally, this matter was led by him, so of course, the communication and coordination with Nissotel Company will be left to him.
Sara Matsusaka did not go to AkioMimura from the beginning. He is now a bad guy, so only the bad guys can do it to the end. He has to wait for AkioMimura to be really anxious and then take action. At that time, he will definitely make a final decision.
In the eyes of some insiders, Matsusaka Sara's character is suspected. If this happened in China, then the hat of a "traitor" may have been put on. It would not be a glorious thing to do if it is done with his own people for the benefit of outsiders.
However, some people admire him, who are courageous, responsible, and dare to take responsibility, especially in the face of major events, and are not stingy with their reputation and are a capable person.
In the world, there is no absolute in all people and things. Almost all are complex polyhedrons. From different perspectives, we often get different results. Even our evaluation of many historical figures is the same. Some say that Cao Cao is an amazing hero, while others say that he is a treacherous villain. It depends on the angle and position of the person who said this.
Damu Hiroshi was only angry when he received the domestic news. He didn't have time to return to Australia at this moment. Other huge groups that had some goods were temporarily attacking the New Nippon Railway. This is something that Damu Hiroshi was even more unthinkable. What made him even more difficult was that as soon as he returned to Japan, he was criticized by many people within the Mitsui chaebol. The key points of the criticism were two aspects. On the one hand, he went to China and failed to handle the China Future Metallurgical Group and could not get the rare earth raw materials they urgently needed. Second, he did not get the Australian project beautifully, causing variables to arise.
Da Muguang was so depressed that he had no place to say anything. Ye Tangsen didn't even have a good talk with him. Even if he had seventy-two ways of changing things, he couldn't do it. Besides, the trouble with the Australian project was the Australians, and this was not something he could fully control.
Depression, anger, helplessness, worries, anger and other moods rushed into Damuguang's mind, but he could not show it. If he just talked about the reasons, it could only be considered incompetent, because successful people are trying to find solutions, and only losers will make excuses.
Oki Hiroshi could only walk to the leaders of the chaebol decision-making meeting devoutly to bow and apologize and admit his mistakes. Only in this way can we get everyone's forgiveness and continue to give opportunities. For this, we have to admire the Japanese. In terms of execution, they are indeed higher than us. Perhaps most of us think they are very smart. Therefore, when facing difficulties, they are all determined to find hundreds of objective reasons to excuse themselves and dare to take responsibility. The spirit of daring to take responsibility plays a very important role in Japanese culture.
In the anti-Japanese dramas we often see, Japanese officers can criticize and slap their subordinates at will. This is not because they all tend to abuse, but because they require everyone to have the courage and spirit to bear the fault unconditionally. Otherwise, Japan would not have defeated a great country with a population of 40 million with nearly two million Japanese soldiers at its peak. In the end, it took 14 years to recover the mountains and rivers. Moreover, there are also participation and support from world powers.
"Oki Jun, Mitsui Products is the core enterprise of our consortium and bears the responsibility of serving many backbone enterprises. In the past, your ability to do business is obvious to everyone. It is not easy for Mitsui Products to develop this way in recent years. We believe that you can continue to make greater contributions to the consortium. Please." Tsuki Kory, who is over 80 years old, stood in front of Oki Mitsui and encouraged him earnestly.
Tsuki Kory, who was a member of two major companies, Tokyo Shibaura Electric and Ishikawashima Homomo Heavy Industry, developed these two companies on the verge of bankruptcy into the top 50 Japanese industry. He made outstanding contributions, so he has a high status within the Mitsui Consortium. After retirement, he was elected as the top consultant of the consortium. In fact, he is the current top leader within the consortium. Although his eyebrows and hair are gray, he is still in good spirits and wisdom. These old guys who have experienced strong winds and waves are considered important wealth of the consortium. At critical moments, their experience often plays a key role.
"Hay, thank you Mr. Tokami. I will live up to expectations." The old Muguang stood up straight, lowered his head, and said to Tokami Gory in a full tone.
Oki Mitsuki has been in charge of Mitsui Products for many years. His biggest political achievement is that he greatly expanded the company's market and influence in Australia, provided rich cheap raw material resources for the development of the consortium, and also made considerable profits for the company. While the consortium was dissatisfied with him, it was impossible to kill him with one blow. In his body, everyone actually held hope.
"At present, the production and export of our high-tech products have almost stagnated, and we can only rely on ordinary industrial products. Although the future-oriented high-tech products cannot surpass ordinary industrial products in terms of profit, that is our hope and direction in the future. Therefore, rare earths are to be obtained no matter what. Before, Matsusaka Sara took the lead and several major consortiums jointly attacked Shinjittan. It is said that they can play the key to solving the problem. You can take time as soon as possible to see Matsusaka Jun. We cannot be left behind. If you have anything to support, tell me, I will coordinate." After Takari Tori, who was holding a crutch, said slowly, he returned to the comfortable single sofa and sat down and stopped talking.
Originally, Okihiro planned to return to Australia a day or two, but now it seems that he can't go back for the time being. He can't refute the meaning of Tokura Gori. Speaking of which, Tokura Gori is already helping him.
"Hay, I know what to do," Damuguang nodded heavily again.

This high-level meeting of Mitsui was held in Matsusaka, which is the birthplace of the Mitsui Consortium. More than 300 years ago, the first Mitsui company, Mitsui Echigoya, was founded here. Although more and more large companies have moved their headquarters and business focus to big cities such as Tokyo, and there is a Mitsui main building similar to Roman buildings in Nihonbashimuromachi, Chuo District, Tokyo. As the headquarters of Mitsui, for Japanese people who emphasize tradition, some Mitsui meetings will still be arranged in Matsusaka, in order to always remember Mitsui's founder Mitsui Goryeo and his spirit.
Mitsui Goryeo once formulated ten admonitions, which are very famous. One, one branch is easy to break, and many branches are tied together and it is difficult to break. You must live in harmony and consolidate your family fortune. Two, the total income from each company's business income must be deducted a certain amount of provident fund before it can be distributed to each company. Three, each company elects an elderly person to become the leader of everyone. The heads of each department must obey his command. Four, the same tribe must not fight each other. Five , It is strictly forbidden to be extravagant and to practice thrift. Six, there are no weak soldiers under famous generals. We must pay attention to the use of talented people. We should avoid complaints and complaints from subordinates. Seven, the family leader must carefully understand the big and small things of the entire family. Eight, the young master of the same clan should be treated the same as the clerk at a certain period, so that he would do hard work under the shopkeeper and everyone, and would not treat him as the master at all. Nine, he should have the awareness that he might not be able to succeed in trading. Ten, he should go to Shimazaki or foreign countries to do transactions.
