Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Among the original four chaebols, the Mitsui chaebol is the head of the four chaebols, Mitsubishi is behind it, and Sumitomo and Yasuda (Fuji) are ahead.

However, because Mitsui showed too strong and conspicuous strength before World War II, one family accounted for one-tenth of the island country's overall economy.

Therefore, after the end of World War II, Mitsui was suppressed by three forces from the United States, the island government, and the chaebols such as Mitsubishi.

The Mitsui family, the head of the four major chaebols, was suppressed, and the Iwasaki family, the second child of ten thousand years, naturally became the number one chaebol as they wished. It is natural to be high-profile.

However, the position of the boss is not so easy to sit on. The main business of the Mitsubishi consortium is in the five major fields of banking, shipbuilding, mining, railway transportation and trade.

Among them, the shipping industry is one of the core of Mitsubishi, second only to the financial giant Mitsubishi Bank. However, since the oil crisis in the 70s, the global economy has slowed down, and the shipping industry and trade industry have been severely hit. Mitsubishi Group has also been greatly affected. Influence.

Of course, these are not enough to make Iwasaki Kojiro worry too much. With the largest commercial bank in the island country and the top five Mitsubishi Bank in the world, the Mitsubishi consortium can afford the impact on the shipping and trading industries.

The only thing that makes him feel uneasy is that now the relationship between the Mitsui family and the Sumitomo family is getting closer.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Mitsui's skinny camel is not as big as Mitsubishi's, Mitsui Bank, a subsidiary of the Mitsubishi family, is still the second largest private bank after Mitsubishi Bank.

Due to the experience of World War II, the people of the Mitsui family clearly realized that no matter how powerful a person or a family is, sometimes they are no match for four hands. Therefore, the Mitsui family has the most control over their own consortium among the four major chaebols through marriage. The close-knit Sumitomo family became in-laws.

The second child and the third child got together, and as the boss, Kojiro Iwasaki naturally couldn't sit still. This addition of one is not simply equal to two.

"President, there is news."

"Say"

"We received news that Mr. Sumitomo is back."

"Press?" Iwasaki Kojiro frowned slightly, "What is the old guy doing back home?"

"This, my subordinates haven't found any news yet."

"Is there any news from the Mitsui family?"

"Not yet"

"Okay, you continue to watch, if there is anything, report it in time."

After the people came down, Iwasaki Kojiro looked at Tianye Shanze who was kneeling in the lower seat, and said, "That old guy, it's impossible to come back if nothing happens. I think they already have contact with someone."

"President, then we need to go"

Before Tianye Shanze finished speaking, Iwasaki Kojiro interrupted: "Not for now, our purpose is different from theirs."

"In contrast, I am more concerned about who's actions in Australia, and I don't know how the Australian government thought of giving almost the entire North Australia to that person..."

Hearing this, Tianye Shanze subconsciously shut his mouth tightly.

He still vaguely remembers that after Yang Chen bought a large piece of land in North Australia from the Australian government, his own president's eyes turned red with jealousy when he received the news.

For a long time, the Mitsubishi consortium has invested heavily in Australia, but even though it has repeatedly invested heavily, the Australian government still has a lot of restrictions on the Mitsubishi consortium in terms of mining.

Of course, this is not just targeting the Mitsubishi consortium. The Australian government is targeting all island companies.

This reason is mainly due to the island nation's air raids on Darwin during World War II.

As an Australia that has occupied the entire continent, it has hardly been invaded by any country in the past few hundred years, and no one even thought about it until the First World War.

However, the island country became the first and only country to attack the Australian mainland militarily.

Therefore, Australia, regardless of the government or the people at the bottom, is very unfriendly to the islanders.

In this era when the inland economy has not yet risen, the country that Australia likes to find trouble most is not an inland country, but an island country.

Like the Outback, Australia's unwelcoming image is as deeply etched in the minds of islanders.

This kind of person who has nothing to do, jumps out of his own strength, jumps twice in front of you, can't kill you, but comes to disgust you, it is really annoying.

However, I have to say that God really favors Australia.

A country sits on a continent, not only in a large area, but also very rich in resources.

For resource-poor island countries, it is a dream to have a land like Australia, but unfortunately, this wish cannot be realized.

Australia is close enough to the island country and has abundant resources. It is a natural partner for the island country and a resource supplier.

Therefore, even though Australia is very annoying, the island country still has to bear with it.

Because I can't get it, but others can get it easily, it's strange that Iwasaki Kojiro can balance in his heart.

Chapter 884 Mitsui Miko

After leaving the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Sumitomo Ichiro rushed back home, preparing to welcome his old father.

Although Sumitomo Ichiro has now taken over all of the family's business, he has become a veritable head of the Sumitomo Foundation.

But in the island country where the father has absolute authority, as long as the old man is not dead, as a son, he often has to obey his words, especially in a big family with a long history like Sumitomo, whose patriarchal system is very strong and strict .

The reason why the Sumitomo consortium is more cohesive than other consortiums is largely due to the early efforts of the old man. Sumitomo Ichiro knows that without his own father, the Sumitomo family would not have absolute authority over its subsidiaries today.

This kind of inheritance from generation to generation requires the joint efforts of the previous generation and the next generation to play its greatest role.

Although his father has retired, his influence within the consortium is not something he can match in a short time.

Moreover, the reason why his father handed over the power in advance was to hone him, and at the same time help him maintain the inheritance of the Sumitomo family behind the scenes.

In order to allow him to take power better, his father has returned to Tokyo less and less frequently in recent years. Sumitomo Ichiro has seen all these behaviors, and all of this is to better pass on the family business to him. Therefore, in the heart of Sumitomo Ichiro, there is no one greater than his father.

After returning home, seeing the servants who were busy, Sumitomo Ichiro took off his shoes, and asked his wife who came over, "Miko, is Masako back?"

Mitsui Miko squatted down, found shoes for her husband to put on, and helped Sumitomo Ichiro take off the suit jacket on his body, and said softly: "I've come back, I'm in the room now, I just asked me which dress looks good on me, I'm still the first I saw her so happy to see someone once, and she hasn't come out of the house until now."

"If my father sees it, he will definitely be jealous, thinking that his precious granddaughter has been snatched away."

"Haha" Sumitomo Ichiro smiled slightly: "You haven't seen that person with your own eyes. When you see him, you will understand why Masako did that."

"Is it really that miraculous?" Mitsui Miko folded her husband's coat and handed it over to a servant, then asked, "Is everything going well? Don't let Masako be happy for nothing."

"At eight o'clock tonight, he will come to our house."

"He himself looks, except that he is young and makes me jealous, and he is indeed not as amazing as in the legend."

"However, so far, he is the first person in history to be able to achieve such high achievements in such a short period of time at his age."

"In my impression, not to mention the younger generation, even my generation, it is difficult to find a comparison."

"Over the years, have you ever seen your father want to see someone so eagerly? No? To be honest, as his son, even I have never let him care so much."

"You're talking nonsense again." Mitsui Miko heard her husband talking, and started talking nonsense, her beautiful eyes rolled her eyes, and she reminded: "Don't say this in front of your father, be careful! He's going to teach you a lesson again."
