Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Dongfang, Laiyang Group.

"The Mitsubishi Pajero, a world-renowned off-road vehicle," Qin Chuan said, looking at the computer screen. "It holds a very high place in the hearts of the older generation."

Just like popular beliefs, back then, when you bought a domestically produced car, you had to tighten all the screws first. After driving it, problems would still occur from time to time. Back then, experienced drivers had to be half mechanics. They had all kinds of tools and spare parts in the car, and even major engine repairs could be done by a few experienced mechanics.

After the Santana was launched, it was so easy to drive that it never broke down, which immediately earned it a high reputation!

The Mitsubishi Pajero also entered the East around that time. Compared to it, the 212 was absolutely garbage. Its six-cylinder engine had enough power, and its automatic transmission was very easy to use. The best part was its Super Select 4WD system, which could switch between different modes while driving.

After entering the East, it first joined the army, where it received widespread praise. Later, it joined government agencies. Riding a Pajero was definitely more prestigious than riding a Santana. Over time, the Pajero's prestige grew. Countless people grew up watching Pajeros, and when they had the means, they naturally wanted to buy one themselves.

Back then, the quality of Japanese products was indeed good, but that was only because products from the East hadn't yet taken off. Now it's the new century, and models like the Pajero are already outdated. At the same time, Mitsubishi's quality management is also very poor, resulting in the Pajero's unsatisfactory quality.

In 2000, the Pajero was recalled due to a braking defect, and now it has been found to have another braking defect, exactly the same as last time. This further illustrates that the island nation's industry has long lost its former glory and is rapidly falling behind!

"Unfortunately, these people don't know that Japanese manufacturing isn't as miraculous as it used to be," Qin Chuan said. "The car's brakes can actually malfunction, hahaha..."

"Hmm, Brother Chuan, so next, should we expose the problems in the island nation's manufacturing industry?" Yang Xue began, "Over the decades, their companies have become stagnant. It's common for senior employees to bully new employees, talented people don't get the opportunity to showcase their abilities, and many of the drawbacks can't be changed..."

During this period, Yang Xue deliberately studied the problems of the island nation's manufacturing industry, and the statements she made were all reasonable and well-founded.

"Great, now that you've collected so much information, you should release it and expose the fig leaf of what this island nation is making."

"Brother Chuan, wouldn't this help the islanders? For example, they'll take our suggestions into account and make improvements?"

"That's impossible. Knowing those shorty types, they'll just think we're slandering them," Qin Chuan said. "They might listen to the Americans' advice, but they'll never listen to ours. They'll just get angry and embarrassed..."

“Okay, I’ll do it that way then,” Yang Xue said. “Brother Chuan, should we take this opportunity to bring down Mitsubishi Heavy Industries?”

It all started with an accident, but since God has given us such a great opportunity, we definitely have to seize it!

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the core company of the Mitsubishi Group, was founded in 1884. It later participated in infamous wars. Fighter jets in the sky are equipped with Mitsubishi engines, tanks on the ground, and warships at sea... Mitsubishi's hands are stained with the blood of countless people from the East!

Even without mentioning the past, just looking at the present, Mitsubishi is still very capable. Warships at sea and fighter jets in the sky are all made by Mitsubishi. They also have many other industries, such as thermal and nuclear power plants, and various large-scale chemical equipment, etc.

If we could really bring down Mitsubishi, it would be a major contribution to world peace. However... it's not easy to bring down a giant like Mitsubishi!

Qin Chuan smiled: "Without prior planning, it's difficult to bring down Mitsubishi. Moreover, if such a giant runs into trouble, the Japanese government will definitely step in to save the day. Unless..."

"Unless they offend the Americans," Yang Xue added, "the island nation's biggest fear is the Americans!"

"That's right, we'll work towards that goal. As for how far we can go, that depends on Mitsubishi's luck."

If Mitsubishi is unlucky, then it's time to wait for its bad luck to come.

"Ah."

These past few weeks have been a turbulent time for the Mitsubishi Group, and the worst part is that they feel like innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire!

The shipwreck had nothing to do with them; it was clearly a problem with Kobe Steel. The Pajero recall was just due to a database issue that prevented some vehicles from being recalled and allowed a batch of defective parts to continue to be used. How did it escalate to this point?

Our island nation's manufacturing is clearly still very strong!

MOL.

Kenji Miyazawa looked at the person in front of him, his expression changing several times before he finally spoke: "Takeuchi-kun, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines have always had a cooperative relationship, and we have enjoyed a pleasant working relationship over the years. How can you now turn to the East to purchase ships? This behavior will seriously damage the reputation of our island nation's manufacturing."

Takeuchi Kamiko sighed: "That's right, we know that too, but... our group's ships of the same model can't be operated right now, so we can only order new ships. We are very optimistic about the 180,000-ton bulk carrier proposal put forward by Laiyang Group. After all, it can save a lot of labor costs, and it can also be used as a container ship when it is not in use. If you have similar ships, we are willing to purchase them even if the price increases by 20%. Do you have any?"

180,000 tons? Are you kidding me! Even 100,000 tons requires extreme caution; we can't afford to make mistakes during construction. They simply don't have the confidence to handle anything higher!

"So, we have no other choice. I can only apologize to you."

Kenji Miyazawa's face darkened: "You've set a terrible precedent. If our island nation's manufacturing industry collapses, your shipping industry will also suffer!"

"It's just a few bulk carriers, they won't collapse, Miyazawa-kun, you're overthinking it. Besides, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has so many orders for warships, how could they not have business?"

Back in the car, Kenji Miyazawa's face was grim. They did indeed have orders for warships, but how many warships were there? They couldn't compare to the massive civilian fleet. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries…

Just then, my phone rang.

"Hey, what did you say? Okay, I got it, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Kenji Miyazawa looked at the driver: "To Yokota!"

The driver was taken aback and turned to look at him, as if asking: Why do you suddenly want to go to that godforsaken place? Everyone usually avoids it like the plague!

"Hurry up, there's been a serious elevator accident there. Sigh, why are there so many accidents lately? This is definitely the biggest one of all..."
