Chapter 411 The country of the master craftsman!(2/3)
Yes, unless General Electric can provide low-end products, it will be excluded.
Unfortunately, General Electric can’t produce such low-end products yet…
Don't be surprised. The production lines, raw materials, and workers are all high-end in the industry. Even if they are forced down, there will be no profit at all in the face of high costs.
Of course, you can also bribe interest groups...the question is whether the profit is worth it!
Garbage is not something you want to produce, you can produce it if you want to…
On August 4, 2020, New York was hit by a typhoon. About 257,000 households in the city suffered power outages. Queens was the most severely affected, with 46,528 residents experiencing power outages. Manhattan was the least affected, with only 68 households experiencing power outages.
As a port city, it is common for New York to be affected by typhoons.
…
"Tell them that there is nothing to talk about. As long as compensation is paid, the relevant news will be withdrawn immediately!"
"What, you don't want to pay?"
"If you don't give me money, how serious are you!"
"Sincerity, sincerity, what the hell is sincerity? Sincerity is 3.5 billion US dollars!"
"If you don't pay, let them get lost!"
Snap, Sean hung up the phone directly!
Idiot!
"Norris, call the congressmen who are cooperating with us and ask them to tell the media that in order to protect the safety of American people's lives and property, they will propose strict inspection procedures and industry standards specifically for Japanese products to Congress, and resolutely crack down on word games and sidelines.
Strategy."
"Initiate an investigation plan for those companies that have caused great harm to the safety of American people's lives and property to investigate whether there are any illegal or criminal activities in their business operations in the United States."
"Okay, boss!" Norris nodded and quickly went down to inform.
Just because a bill is a bill does not mean it will be passed.
But now the limelight is just right. It can at least give the congressmen a boost of reputation and put more pressure on the Japanese.
If you don't give in, the government will probably pass the relevant investigation out of pressure from the people.
Then the Japanese will be miserable.
Of course, that being said, any kind of public pressure is nonsense.
When there is more public opinion, how many times will the government respect it?
The mid-term elections are over, and public opinion is just a piss pot that needs to be picked up and used when the time comes.
The key point is that the real manufacturing industry is now collectively hostile to the Japanese, and the financial sector is taking advantage of the sudden boiling of public opinion to harvest Japanese assets.
By then there will be some interest groups closely related to Japanese companies, but the energy will still not be enough.
The American consortium that has shares in Japanese companies will not take action. Do you really think that the shareholders of the company must want the company to prosper and everything will be fine?
Stop talking nonsense!
At this time, Japanese companies such as Toshiba and Mitsubishi have turned to the American consortium, but the result is that public opinion is fierce. We will wait until the limelight passes.
Short-term stock price fluctuations do not matter in the long term.
Rockefeller had communicated with a large consortium. At this time, the American consortium not only refused to help, but actually wanted the Japanese to suffer more.
Only by suffering can you know what the world is like!
Only then did I realize how warm the embrace of an American father is!
Only then will more shares be given up and more benefits come out!
This is called a small tree that cannot grow straight if it is not repaired, and a tree that cannot grow straight if a person does not repair it.
What should I do if my book doesn’t obey me?
Just give it a beating!

American politicians still have very professional ethics, especially when facing the donor father, if you give him money, he will really get things done!
The next day, a member of the Elephant Party mentioned in front of reporters that he would propose a bill at the next Congress, in order to ensure... blah blah blah.
Anyway, everything is for the benefit of the people.
Several congressmen have proposed launching an investigation into Toshiba and several other companies to strictly investigate whether there are illegal activities in every business activity. Otherwise, how could so many substandard products be sold to the United States?
Some members of Congress came forward to criticize the US quality inspection department for being irresponsible. For a while, the official attitude suddenly became tougher.
As Sean worked hard, General Electric, General Motors, Ford, Whirlpool... many companies also followed suit.
Sean worked hard in Congress, and they worked hard at the local level. Customs seized a large batch of Japanese offensive goods on the grounds of quality inspection.
Several states have launched investigations, and some local courts have begun to issue judgments in small cases, requiring several companies to compensate for losses.
It wasn't a big thing, but I couldn't hold it back for too long, and for a while it felt like there was a lot of turmoil and everything was on the line.
The Japanese couldn't stand it any longer and really started to investigate. Then there would be more problems. How could the capitalists be so honest?
A charge of unfair competition can make them feel very uncomfortable.
If things happen alone, they don't care, but if they happen together, once a storm forms, everyone will be miserable.
It is extremely difficult to seize market share, but it can happen very quickly when you lose ground. If one person fails, several years of hard work will be wasted.
The most important thing is that this anti-Japanese storm that has been hanging up for some reason is sweeping from the United States towards Eurasia.
Germany, France, Spain, Italy, including the United Kingdom, have begun to have a large number of cases involving Japanese companies.
At first, media newspapers only quoted reports from the United States, but later various local reports began to appear.
Several countries have proposed increasing scrutiny of Japanese products.
What makes Toshiba and Mitsubishi even more angry is that even the East has begun to follow suit. Some equipment exports and business cooperation that were originally being negotiated have all reached a deadlock, and competitors from Europe and the United States have successively appeared in the East.
Suddenly, the method used to deceive fools in the east no longer worked. After the sales department spent a sum of money, they only got a vague message that there was an American intervention behind it.
News control in the east is very strict, and the name Sean is only circulated among senior officials.
There was a lack of communication between various departments. The sales department knew that many companies in the East had sued them, but they were used to the condescending treatment of foreign adults and did not take it to heart. They did not even notice that the people who brought them to court were not Easterners.
It has already been outsourced.
And if you're in the east, you can't see American news at all.
…
"Tell them, I'm not in the United States. Well, I'm on a business trip. Specifically, it's a business secret." Sean waved his hand.
In the past few days, the Japanese were looking for connections like crazy to come and see him.
It just helps the Japanese to convey the news that they are going to meet, and without any position attached, there are still many people who are willing to take the money.
Of course, calls like this couldn't be reached by Sean and were answered by Norris's secretarial team, but Tai still knew the news.
"Forget it, arrange a plane and go to Japan!" Sean thought for a while and said to Lorraine: "Don't use the Sky Palace, just rent a plane."
Sean is preparing to personally preside over the case regarding Toshiba's private sale of five-axis machine tools.
In fact, after Sean learned about this from Murdoch, the intelligence agency had already entered Japan and started doing preliminary work.
The main thing is to contact Toshiba staff, build relationships, and prepare to buy information.
In addition, there is contact with local gang forces in Japan. Information is divided into high-end and low-end. This does not mean that there is any difference in importance, but it is a channel for obtaining intelligence.
One day later, outside Tokyo.
When he first came to Tokyo, Sean ordered someone to buy a mansion for Akina Nakamori to live in, and this time he lived here.
"How is the data investigation going?"
"It's all here, boss." A Japanese man who looked to be in his 40s smiled and handed over a document and put it on the table, then put it into categories. "These are the staff lists of Toshiba Machine Tool Division, 1980
So far, those who resigned midway are marked in red and have time to resign, while those in green are marked in red and have time to resign."
"This is what we investigated. The head of the Machine Tool Division, Hiroaki Tanimura, and his confidants have detailed information about the time he followed him, the department he is currently in, and his situation, etc."
"This document is the list of staff of the Manufacturing Department, and this document is the list of Minister Hayashi Ryuuji and his closest associates."
"This document is a list of Toshiba's branches or divisions in Eastern Europe. Those marked in red are those engaged in machinery sales."
"Not bad, very detailed." Sean smiled and gave a compliment.
"Thank you, boss." The Japanese man bowed.
These tasks are very simple for the intelligence department. They are not highly confidential information. Let’s just say the staff list. Not only the people in the department know it, HR knows it, but even the financial department knows it. They always have to pay wages.
.
As for who is whose confidant, office politics is everywhere, and no one knows who the minister's confidant is better than the people within their department. You can find out this kind of thing with a little money.
You only need to verify a few more people at most, and there is no difficulty.
Sean started to look down at the information. Based on Sean's years of crime experience, it was impossible for the minister to do this kind of thing himself.
To be continued...
