Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

After some exchanges, Sumitomo Ichiro couldn't help asking: "Yang Sang, I wonder if you are free tonight?"

Yang Chen raised his eyelids, while pretending to drink tea, he looked at the hypocritical Sumitomo Ichiro in front of him, without thinking too much, he said, "If you have time, Mr. Sumitomo asked, do you have any orders?"

"That's great"

"Before I came, my father called me and said that he has come to Tokyo. Since my father retired, he doesn't like living in urban areas, and has always lived in the countryside..."

"If Yang Sang has time in the evening, I would like to invite Yang Sang and Li Sang to our house for a quick meal. My father has been looking forward to you for a long time."

Yang Chen turned his head and glanced at Li Guowei, then nodded and said: "I have already received the letter from the old president of Sumitomo. If this is the case, I will trouble Mr. Sumitomo tonight. I will definitely be there on time."

Hearing Yang Chen's promise, Sumitomo Ichiro was overjoyed. The reason why he rushed over so low-key, and didn't bring anyone with him, was to drag Yang Chen home before others.

Now everyone is paying attention to Yang Chen's every move. The heads of several big chaebol forces have already got the news the moment Yang Chen got off the plane.

Sumitomo Ichiro is not very clear whether other people have rushed over now, even if not, the next few other companies will take action sooner or later.

For people like Sumitomo Ichiro, it is very necessary to win over Yang Chen, a big local tycoon, especially since Yang Chen's real estate company has already started preparing to enter the island country's real estate industry.

For the major financial groups in the island country, Yang Chen is a scourge, they can choose to accept it, or they can choose to resist it.

After all, besides being a super rich man himself, Yang Chen also has the support of big international banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered behind him. No one can guarantee that when the other party enters the island country market, will the forces associated with it Blend in.

One hair can move the whole body, and we cannot allow everyone to treat it carelessly.

but

When Yang Chen threw out the game company's big golden bull, several major consortiums tacitly chose to accept it.

For major consortiums, interests are always the most important.

As long as Yang Chen can bring them benefits, even if a scourge is brought in, they won't hesitate.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake.

What's more, chaebol forces like them are not just local snakes, they also have the strength of powerful dragons. No matter which industry a foreign force enters, it is inevitable to deal with chaebols like them.

Plutocrats run through the entire economy of the island country. Without them, no one can play here. Even if a strong dragon comes, they will have a way to deal with it.

Those who understand the culture of the island country should understand that the island people are a country that attaches great importance to hereditary traditions.

What's more, even the island nation's political arena pursues "hereditary politics".

Since the end of World War II, the political arena of the island country has basically been a situation in which the son inherits the father's career and the official position is passed down from generation to generation.

Grandpa is the prime minister, and one of his sons or grandsons will inevitably become the prime minister, and some even have three prime ministers from one school. This is very normal in the political arena of island countries.

For example, the prime minister of the island country, who is well-known in later generations, has a very powerful family background. There are three prime ministers in one family, all from his family.

****'s grandfather Kishi Nobusuke and uncle Sato Eito Tseng Ling served as the prime minister of the island country, and his father Shintaro Abe served as the foreign minister of the Nakasone cabinet, but ****'s father died of illness on the eve of his upcoming appointment as prime minister.

Because of an accident, the Abe family changed from a family of four prime ministers to a family of three prime ministers. Regardless of whether they are prime ministers or not, their family has basically become an extremely good minister anyway.

It can be seen how strong the hereditary political tradition of the island country is. In addition to the *** family, there are four other major political families in the island country's political arena. Any major personnel arrangements in the island country's political arena are basically made by ** The five major political family leaders headed by the ** family made a private agreement.

The so-called royal family and ordinary people at the bottom have no influence on the rule of the five major political families.

This is true in the political circles of island countries, and naturally the same is true in the business circles of island countries.

For a long time, the economy of the island country has been firmly controlled by powerful consortiums like Sumitomo and Mitsubishi. The industries involved in these major consortiums have covered almost all walks of life in the island country.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important point is that conglomerate forces like Sumitomo are secretly integrated with political families like the **** family. The combination of the political family and the plutocratic family makes the hereditary rule of the two more guaranteed. .

We often say that a family is usually rich for no more than three generations.

The Chinese pay attention to the fact that if you have power, you cannot have money, and if you have money, you cannot have power.

Money and power cannot be mixed together, otherwise things will easily happen.

But the island country is different. The island country is a democratic country in name, but in fact it is a dictatorship of a political family.

Officials and businessmen colluded together blatantly and without any concealment. All democratic countries are actually the same in essence, but no other European and American countries have directly put it on the table like the islanders.

This has advantages and disadvantages.

It depends on how you look at the problem.

However, these two forces are mixed together, which undoubtedly makes it much more difficult for foreign forces to enter the island country market. Sometimes they must obtain the unanimous approval of both forces at the same time in order to gain a firm foothold in the island country market.

Otherwise, the political and economic double suppression, no matter how strong the strength is, it will not be able to prevent the whole family from working together.

It is precisely based on this that the major chaebol forces in the island country did not take any boycott actions when Landmark entered the island country market.

Chapter 883

When Sumitomo Ichiro left the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the three founder families of the Mitsui Foundation, the Mitsubishi Foundation and the Fuji Foundation all received the news immediately.

Although on the surface, several major families have lost control of the shares of the consortium since the end of World War II, but in fact, according to the hereditary tradition of the island country, they can be divided as they say.

You must know that the hereditary inheritance system of the island country is the same as that of the previous Chinese aristocratic family. Basically, those who can be in charge of the subsidiaries of the consortium belong to the confidants of the main family.

Those people have been going up several generations, and some even have been serving the founder families of several large consortiums. The education they have received since childhood is how to serve the master family well and obey the master's orders.

In the unique cultural background of the island country, let alone Americans, even if their emperor speaks, it may not necessarily be effective.

Although the founding families of several major consortiums have lost control of the consortium in terms of shares, under the father-to-son inheritance system of the island country, several major families still firmly control the leadership of the consortium through the appointment of personnel.

After World War II, according to the guidelines of the United Nations, all the chaebols in the island countries were forced to disband.

Among them, the Mitsubishi consortium, the head of the chaebol, was split into countless subsidiaries at the time, but after the 50s, with the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States gradually relaxed its control over the island country.

Among them, take economic relaxation as an example.

In order to enable the island countries to provide sufficient military supplies to the U.S. military, the U.S. once again turned a blind eye, acquiescing to the restoration of Mitsubishi and other old chaebol forces.

This kind of acquiescence made the various subsidiaries that had been separated from the various chaebols gather together one after another, and united with each other again.

Taking Mitsubishi as an example, the heads of several major subsidiaries of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu established informal organizations such as the Mitsubishi Friday Club in the name of exchanging information and connecting with each other.

Although on the bright side, Mitsubishi Friday Club is different from Mitsubishi Headquarters before the war, publicizing that all companies are equal and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, but the mastermind of Mitsubishi Friday Club is not selected from the heads of the major subsidiaries, but by The founding family of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu is behind the scenes.

The Mitsubishi chaebol originated from the Mitsubishi Chamber of Commerce founded by Iwasaki Yataro. Since Iwasaki Yataro, the Mitsubishi chaebol has been controlled by the Iwasaki family.

The current head of the Iwasaki family, Iwasaki Kojiro, like the Mitsui family of the Mitsui consortium and the Yasuda family of the Fuji consortium, lives behind the scenes.

Compared with the other three major families, the Iwasaki family is much more high-profile.
