Chapter 1438: Money and Cannons

Chapter 1440 Money and Cannons

"This is impossible! This is a naked frame-up!" President Panasonic's face turned pale.

What nonsense is it that trace amounts of poison will be emitted after being powered on, which may cause all kinds of serious emergencies? This is completely nonsense.

He knew the products they manufactured best. At this time, Panasonic was at its peak, unlike the later Japanese manufacturing companies that were declining and adopted the attitude of "the technology is not enough, just make up for it with fakes".

What makes him even more angry is that the Nanyang Economic and Trade Alliance's irresponsible attitude will greatly affect Panasonic's reputation and reputation around the world.

This is the most deadly.

It is said that it is better to believe that something exists than to believe something does not exist.

Those European gentlemen are very rich. If this happens, no matter whether it is true or not, they will definitely follow suit.

If you don't follow the trend, you may be accused by the opposition party of not paying attention to people's health and safety.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and a slender old man walked in from the outside.

President Matsushita immediately stood up and bowed: "Father, I'm sorry..."

The person who came was none other than the founder of Panasonic. He glanced at the president of Panasonic expressionlessly and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to apologize. The most important thing now is to come up with countermeasures. Masano, don't let me down."

"Hai ~" President Matsushita bowed again. As a son-in-law who joined the Matsushita family, he was good enough but also burdened with tremendous pressure.

Although in Japan, a son-in-law and a son have almost the same rights and obligations.

However, the standards for evaluation of the two are different. As long as the son is above the standard, it will be fine. After all, there is a blood connection, which naturally has a loyalty bonus.

A son-in-law must be particularly outstanding and achieve great results in order to be recognized. This is the price that must be paid for inheriting the family business and power.

The old man walked to where President Panasonic was sitting just now and sat down: "Masano, you are the child I value most, and you have inherited the essence of my business philosophy, but you have a big shortcoming..."

President Panasonic lowered his eyes, waiting for instruction.

The old man said: "Your vision has always been limited to the commercial level. You think too little about Zhengzhi and it is too simple."

President Panasonic said nothing, but frowned slightly. He didn't agree in his heart, but at this time, he could never talk back.

The old man seemed to see his emotions, and couldn't help but talk, and reminded again: "Don't forget, we are a company, and companies can never compete with the country. We need to curry favor with those big shots in the parliament in Japan, why do you Do you think you can break this rule by leaving Dongyang?”

"This..." President Panasonic was speechless.

The old man continued: "The times are different now. Our days of Eastern hegemony are long gone. We are not stronger than other countries. Instead, we are restricted by America. We are not a complete Guo family."

Everyone present was silent. In recent years, the economy has developed again, especially surpassing independent countries to become the third largest country in the world. This has strengthened their backbone that was originally damaged during World War II.

Although it has not reached the level of crazy and arrogant attempts to buy America in the 1980s, they have deliberately ignored the current situation in Dongyang.

The old man's words tore off this fig leaf and continued: "Then there is your arrogance towards the Huaguo people. Zhengye, is this map hanging in your office just a decoration?"

As he spoke, he raised the crutch in his hand and pointed at the world map on the wall.

The old man raised his voice: "Look at their territory and compare with us! Decades ago, when they were at their weakest, we failed. Now they are a powerful country on par with America and Sulian. We What qualifications do you have to look at them with arrogance?”

"I'm very sorry, Father." President Matsushita bowed again and apologized.

The old man snorted: "It's a good thing for you young people to be arrogant, but you can't be divorced from reality. If you still don't understand, just look at Hokkaido. I don't need to tell you what's going on there~"

In the East, when you reach a certain level, whether you are a member of the Shoji family or a super chaebol, you all know the causes and consequences of Hokkaido.

Du Fei is always a name that cannot be avoided.

The old man said: "As long as the Huaguo Man is willing, those desperadoes will immediately cause endless trouble in our factories."

After saying this, the old man finally stood up and patted President Panasonic on the shoulder: "Remember, the power of money is great, but it is not omnipotent! Cannon is the biggest nemesis of money. Whoever controls the cannon, money will depend on him. "

…

As Matsushita was brought out and publicly executed, the business community in Japan was trembling with fear.

Under such circumstances, the powerful Shoji family and chaebols finally could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

They finally figured out that Du Fei was here to take revenge for what happened at Da Ban.

And not just revenge, but also making them bleed.

Now Du Fei has made it clear that he must make a certain scale of investment in Nanyang. To put it bluntly, he is spending money to eliminate disasters.

The only thing that caught them by surprise was that America's attitude was unexpectedly ambiguous.

Finding no hope of reversal, the comprador bureaucracy in Tokyo unsurprisingly showed its weak nature.

Concessions were quickly made: first, a rigorous investigation into attacks on foreign institutions in Oita and Tokyo.

Second, compensation for losses is US$2 million for Huaguo and US$5 million for America.

There is no difference in the amount of money. The main reason is that the damage on America's side is more serious.

The third clause is a hidden clause, which is to exchange the safety of the normal business activities of Japanese enterprises in Nanyang for the investment in manufacturing in Borneo.

Even so, as a chicken to scare the monkeys, Panasonic still suffered serious losses.

Because the Nanyang Trade Alliance is an organization affiliated with United Fruit, the impact is still quite large.

Based on the principle of being prepared for the worst, many fruit companies have taken similar measures against Panasonic products.

As for how Panasonic will do public relations and clean up this mess, it is not Du Fei's business.

Instead, he welcomed an uninvited guest at this time.

"Mr. Takeda, I didn't expect you to visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you." Du Fei smiled at the old man in black kimono in front of him.

This is a famous old man in the East. Du Fei and the other party are not on the same page.

The other party came to visit unexpectedly, what does it mean?

Takeda Masao smiled and bowed: "It's my presumptuous old man, please forgive me, Mr. Du." He spoke in fluent Northeastern dialect.

Du Fei was slightly surprised. According to the information he had, Takeda Masao had not been to Huaguo during the war, and he had forged an asthma diagnosis and had not served in the military.

There were two other people with Takeda Masao, one of whom was his granddaughter Takeda Ranko.

At this time, Takeda Ranko changed into a female kimono, with traditional hair accessories standing up, and was also somewhat soft and beautiful.

After Takeda Masao introduced her, Takeda Ranko bowed slightly: "It's our first meeting, please take care of me."

What really surprised Du Fei was that the last person was Liu Chuanwu!

According to the news sent back by Luo Zhengming a few days ago, he already knew about Liu Chuanwu's marriage to the Takeda family.

But when Takeda Masao introduced him, he did not say Liu Chuanwu's alias Yamada Takeshi, nor did he say Takeda Takeshi after changing his surname, but directly said: "This is my grandson-in-law Liu Chuanwu."

Du Fei didn't understand that Liu Chuanwu's identity was exposed.

It's just a little strange. Since the Takeda family has discovered Liu Chuanwu's identity, why did they still invite him to marry into the family and take the initiative to find him here.

Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little amused. This old guy was obviously not that simple.

A few people entered the reception room inside. After tea and greetings, they began to get to the point: "I wonder what purpose Mr. Takeda has in looking for me?"

Takeda Masao looked at his granddaughter and grandson-in-law sitting next to him with a smile: "I brought Chuanwu here specially today. Can't Mr. Du guess it?"

Du Fei raised his eyebrows and felt that the old guy was smiling like an old fox.

Bringing Liu Chuanwu and pointing out Liu Chuanwu's identity, this attitude is indeed very obvious.

Du Fei said: "This does not seem to be in line with the Takeda family's consistent position~"

Takeda Masao said: "It seems that Mr. Du has some misunderstandings about our Takeda family. The Takeda family's consistent position is to take advantage of the situation."

Du Fei narrowed his eyes. For the first time, he said so confidently that he would change his mind and act like a fence-sitter.

But then again, this Takeda family does have this ability.

Du Fei glanced at Liu Chuanwu, who was silent beside him, with a half-smile: "Mr. Takeda, aren't you afraid of being exposed and affecting the interests of the Takeda family in Japan?"

Takeda Masao said: "Who would believe that we would cooperate? Even if I go to those people now and say that Chuanwu was sent by you, no one will believe it."

Du Fei thought about it and it was indeed very interesting: "So, what do you want to gain?"

As the saying goes, there is no gain without early rise.

Takeda Masao knew Liu Chuanwu's identity, but he took the risk of recruiting him as a son-in-law. He must have a big plan.

Takeda Masao was also very straightforward and stated his intentions.

To put it bluntly, it was a bet on both sides. This time, in addition to investing a large amount of money in Nanyang, he also tried to get on the line of Liu Chuanwu.

For this alone, the Takeda family has one more relationship with Du Fei than other Japanese families.

With this relationship, a lot of convenience can be obtained.

This time, through the fate of Panasonic, he saw the power of Du Fei.

It prompted him to make up his mind to get on the boat of Du Fei.

As for the risk, in fact, the Takeda family will not take much risk.

Anyway, the whole of Japan has bowed its head this time, so his family is not bad.

In short, the business is not bad.

Du Fei is of course happy to see this situation.

So far, the problem of Japan has been solved, and good news has come from Nanyang.

Just one day before Takeda Masao came, the first batch of F-1 fighters produced by Northrop finally completed a series of technical tests and tactical training in Kuching.

Lin Tiansheng learned about this and hoped to send the aircraft to the front line to contain Vietnam's MiG-25.

Du Fei is also considering this issue.

Although Lin Tiansheng's pressure on the front is not great at present, it is indeed suffocating to be unscrupulously flaunted by the MiG-25 on the opposite side from time to time.

Now that he has his own advanced fighter, of course he wants to suppress the enemy.

However, Du Fei also has concerns about the reputation of F-1.

If it is shot down as soon as it goes there, or crashes due to a malfunction, it will be a disaster.

Du Fei has high hopes for the F-1 fighter, hoping that Huaguo can master the technology of the third-generation fighter based on this aircraft.

In the future, it will be localized and enter the international market.

It would be too unprofitable if the reputation is ruined.

To be on the safe side, Du Fei must personally ensure the status of these four aircraft and the training of the pilots to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After staying in Japan for two months, Du Fei left by plane and went directly to Nanyang without returning home.

After seven hours of flight, Du Fei's K-8 special plane arrived at Kuching Airport.

After not coming back for several months, Kuching Airport turned into a big construction site.

Two months ago, Chen Fangshi approved the airport expansion plan.

Construction is currently underway to build Kuching Airport into the largest airport in Southeast Asia with the largest cargo and passenger throughput.

The entire expansion project is expected to be completed in the second half of September.

The normal use of the airport will not be affected during this period.

Du Fei walked down the gangway, and the air was filled with the smell of damp cement.

The car that picked him up below had been parked for who knows how long, and there was a layer of dust on it.

Knowing that Du Fei was back, Chen Fangshi would definitely come to pick him up personally.

After the two shook hands and sat in the car, Du Fei asked directly: "How is the situation?"

Chen Fangshi knew that Du Fei came back this time mainly because of the F-1 fighter jets, and his expression was a little solemn: "According to the current data, three of them are in relatively good condition, and one has an engine problem. Experts invited from America last week studied I couldn’t find anything wrong after a long time.”

Du Fei frowned, he was not too surprised by this situation.

After all, it is a new model of fighter jet, and it is the first batch, so it is not uncommon for problems to occur.

Going to the battlefield now is definitely a rush.

Then he asked, "Where's the pilot?"

Chen Fangshi said: "The pilot is fine. America's instructors all praised our boys."

Du Fei nodded. These pilots had a professional background. It goes without saying how strict the selection of pilots in China is.

When we get here, it's time to select the best. The pilots who can fly these F-1s are definitely the best.

Memory, learning ability, comprehension ability... that is, now, before Du Fei traveled through time, such people would be the seedlings who could go to Qingbei without taking exams.

However, the situation on Lin Tiansheng's side cannot be ignored.

That is an important part of maintaining the relationship with America. Lin Tiansheng's performance in Chenla is an important bargaining chip to obtain America's cooperation so smoothly in Dongyang.

Du Fei was sitting in the car, thinking about the current situation in his mind, and couldn't help but come up with the idea that it was time to reverse the situation on the Zhenla battlefield.

Prior to this, although the Nanyang Weihe troops led by Lin Tiansheng fought well, especially the direct troops who went to Borneo, they achieved a very good exchange ratio.

But strategically, it did not change the situation that the Vietnamese army was on the offensive and the coalition forces were on the defensive.

Especially after Huang Wen replaced Ruan Xiongqi, he launched two relatively large-scale attacks. Although they were both cracked, they were both tactical.

Up to now, the Vietnamese army still occupies 70% of the territory of Zhenla.
