Chapter 883 Don’t You Believe It?

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Li Ye and others finally arrived at Mitsubishi Motors' manufacturing plant in Okazaki Prefecture.

Then, except for Li Ye, everyone else in the inspection team was shocked.

The continuous workshops stretch into the distance like rice fields on the Great Plains, with no end in sight.

Ma Zhaoxian's face was calm, but his tone was trembling as he asked: "Is this really just a branch factory of the Mitsubishi Group? Section Chief Liu, are you sure this isn't the entire Mitsubishi Group gathered together?"

Liu Muhan looked at the scene in front of him and said with some uncertainty: "I'm not sure if it's just Mitsubishi Motors, but it's certainly not the entire Mitsubishi Group.

Because Mitsubishi Shipbuilding must be by the sea, Mitsubishi Steel and Mitsubishi Chemical should have very tall chimneys."

Xiao Jinggang frowned and said, "You don't know, Chief Liu? Then why don't you just ask?"

"Don't ask, there is only Mitsubishi Motors here, and Toyota's manufacturing plant is in Tianyuan City."

Li Ye interrupted Xiao Jinggang's suggestion.

Let Liu Muhan ask if this is just a Mitsubishi factory? Is it to let people see the truth that he has never seen the world?

I, Emperor Li Ye, have seen the world, don't embarrass me.

But Mr. Gu said in a deep voice: "Are you so sure? Or is it because of your pride and fear of knowing the gap between us?"

"Hey, is there definitely a gap? We're just here to find the gap, why bother with it?"

"That is, if we sew our mouths shut and don't speak, people won't be able to see our true identity?"

"."

Li Ye looked at these "open-minded and free-spirited" guys, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

If there is not enough success, there will be more than enough failure.

"Seniors, I think you have misunderstood. I understand the gap between us better than any of you."

Li Ye said coldly: "What you saw is indeed only Mitsubishi Motors' manufacturing plant in Riben. In addition, Mitsubishi Motors also has a factory in Lighthouse."

"And Mitsubishi Motors only accounts for a small part of Mitsubishi Group. Mitsubishi Group's assets are at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. I say this, are you seniors satisfied?"

"."

Everyone was stunned. The shocking numbers and cold words reported by Li Ye made them uncomfortable.

Although Li Ye has a reputation for having a "bad temper", he has maintained a "humble junior" attitude since leaving the capital. This is the first time that he has shown his "little temper".

Lu Zhizhang saw that everyone's expressions were wrong, and he quickly asked Li Ye, "Li Ye, are you talking about hundreds of billions of yen?"

Li Ye slowly shook his head and said, "No, it's US dollars."

"Oh~"

"Hundreds of billions of dollars? Are you kidding? How much does a country cost?"

"What is our country's foreign exchange reserves this year? This is simply unbelievable."

The person who just persuaded Li Ye to "acknowledge the gap" now refuses to admit the gap.

But what Li Ye said was true.

The Mitsubishi Group was founded in 1870. At first it was just a shipping company, but as the company grew, the Mitsubishi Group began to get involved in shipbuilding, banking and insurance.

Later, he gradually owned many branches, such as aircraft, papermaking, steelmaking and even oil. When his business flourished everywhere, even the Japanese themselves did not know what kind of behemoth he was.

According to statistics, the total assets of Mitsubishi Group in later generations are as high as 20 trillion RMB, which is 50% larger than the three stars in the universe.

It's just that unlike Samsung, its structure is relatively loose. Companies with the word Mitsubishi account for 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​cannot be judged whether they belong to Mitsubishi, and they still compete with each other.

But in any case, Mitsubishi Group is a huge economic entity.

Decades later, the shrinking Mitsubishi Motors business gave people the illusion that the Mitsubishi Group was on the verge of death. In fact, it was only a small part of the Mitsubishi brand.

Gu Jianqi looked at Li Ye and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether what Li Ye said is right or not, everyone should stop joking. Note that we are representing flower growers now, and we should neither be humble nor overbearing."

"."

Everyone became expressionless. What the leader said was right. Even if he was doing somersaults and sticking out his tongue a moment ago, he can still scold you to "be steady" now.

The receptionist from Mitsubishi Motors also came. It was unclear whether he had a high position or not, but his posture was very kind and he bowed at least 40 degrees, which made everyone feel a lot more comfortable.

However, after entering the workshop, everyone still had strange expressions on their faces.

Someone murmured: "It's even more modern than the Volkswagen production line in West Germany. I personally went to Shanghai to inspect the Santana production line."

"I have never been to Shanghai, but the 212 and Cherokee in Beijing cannot compare with this place."

Santana is now the most advanced production line in the mainland, but at this time, the production line of Volkswagen in Shanghai is a bit "horrible" compared with the production line of Mitsubishi small trucks in front of us.

Santana has been produced in Shanghai since 1985. Before that, "Made in Shanghai" was a well-known golden sign in the mainland, representing the highest level of machinery manufacturing in the mainland.

But how is Santana made?

Volkswagen produces semi-finished cars at its factory in West Germany, then packs the semi-finished cars and parts and ships them to Shanghai Volkswagen, which completes the final product assembly.

The domestic Santana at that time was made in W. Germany from top to bottom, and the assembly line was really shabby, without even a conveyor belt.

But the production line of Mitsubishi Trucks in front of us has achieved full assembly line mechanization.

"Sorry, no photos allowed, please give us the camera for safekeeping!"

A cold voice of stopping brought the dazed people back to reality.

At this time, everyone realized that Secretary Zhong brought a camera and prepared to take a "photo of Gu Jianqi" at the scene.

Liu Muhan hurriedly explained to the other party, and then ordered Secretary Zhong to hand over the camera.

"Didn't we emphasize that taking photos is not allowed? If you do this, they will terminate our visit."

"I don't have any photography equipment. The Japanese can take photos when they visit our mainland. How stingy."

Secretary Zhong also explained himself, but in the end he had to hand over the camera.

Li Ye looked at Professor Zhao, who nodded slightly and gave Li Ye a "no problem" look.

Why did Professor Zhao bring a "favorite disciple" this time? Just because that kid is a genius who "never forgets what he sees".

Li Ye can also remember what he sees with the help of biological hard disk, but he doesn't know so many equipment on the scene, and he can't restore many process details on the scene afterwards.

At this moment, Li Ye only looked at the young man named "Xiao Zheng", observing everywhere almost without blinking, just hoping that he is really as amazing as Professor Zhao said.

After watching the production line of mini trucks, Liu Muhan asked the other party to visit the passenger car production line again according to Li Ye's instructions.

Surprisingly, the other party actually admitted it readily.

"Hey, these little dwarfs are quite generous!"

"Well, after all, we represent the country."

Everyone happily changed the factory area and visited the production workshop of passenger cars, and then they were hit again.

It turned out that the production line here is more advanced.

After the other party's introduction, the production line of mini trucks turned out to be old equipment from the 1970s, which is ten years behind.

"How long have we fallen behind?"

With this question in mind, everyone visited the production workshop of the Pajero SUV, the flagship product, at the invitation of the Japanese side.

Then, no one spoke much.

Even the technical authority sitting in the office drinking tea had seen the situation of the mainland automobile factory. The huge gap made them feel a great sense of fear.

And at this time, some people also came to their senses. They generously invited you to watch just to make you feel frustrated and then kneel down to worship them.

The lighthouse people used this set to enslave the Japanese, and the Japanese used it on Li Ye and others.

When they got on the car back, everyone was thinking about their own things silently, only Xiao Zheng was muttering something in his mouth and quickly drawing some graphics and symbols on the notebook.

Secretary Zhong suddenly said: "What's the point of you drawing these things?"

Xiao Zheng looked up at Secretary Zhong, and continued to draw with his head down, not wanting to pay attention to him at all.

Secretary Zhong looked unhappy, and then he heard Li Ye say: "The meaning of his paintings is to learn, catch up, and surpass."

"."

After Secretary Zhong was stunned for a moment, he laughed directly.

A sarcastic laugh.

Li Ye's face was as gloomy as water, and he said calmly: "Don't you believe it?"

"."

No one answered, no one talked to Li Ye, even Professor Zhao sighed.

The gap in the 1980s was really despairing.

Catching up is fine, but surpassing. Are you dreaming?

Maybe Professor Zhao believed it when he was young, but now he is confused and hesitant.

Liu Muhan suddenly hit Li Ye's shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe it, I believe you!"

Li Ye also smiled, and it was a little sour.

It was not easy for someone to believe it, and it was even in the form of a joke to agree with him.

But then Xiao Zheng raised his head again and said to Li Ye affirmatively: "I believe it too!"

Well, it feels good to have someone to walk with.
