America’s Big Hero

"What is my identity, Sean? I'm a mere Japanese foreign minister who can see me if I want, let him go!" When a Japanese asked to see me, Sean pursed his lips and waved his hand, full of momentum to refuse!

Lorraine sneered, turned and left.

I definitely can’t see you now. This is where we are going. The fleet is not an airplane. It has just passed Malacca and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. It is still far away from the Sea of ​​Japan!

As the initiator of this incident, General Electric naturally wanted to follow in Sean's footsteps, and it directly rejected it because the chairman was on a business trip in Europe.

Umbrella and General Electric are unmoved, and the dozen or so law firms representing the Washington case will not compromise.

Whoever dares to put pressure on them at this time, they dare to expose whoever is labeled as interfering with judicial justice, and they will all die!

Anyway, New Century Media will never refuse to break the news!

The activities of the Japanese have not achieved any results, not because they are reluctant to spend money, but because politicians also have to consider political risks. It is impossible to give up a political career for money.

Of course, this wave of activities is not without any effect, at least Sean gave New Century Media another idea.

That night, New Century Media will have a new program!

"Everyone knows that there have been a lot of accidents with Japanese products these days, and many problems that were hidden before have also been exposed. The quality of the products has been questioned by everyone, which has caused a great impact on American society and the people, but, Only a small number of people have the conditions to pass the law to protect their rights, so, Mr. Jon thinks, how will the Japanese respond to this crisis?" The host asked the guests.

"As a large international company, of course it is time to stand up and take responsibility, such as recalling defective products, paying compensation for defective products, compensating for losses caused to users, publicly apologizing, etc. We all know that at this stage , the reputation of the enterprise is far greater than those economic losses." Economic expert Jon talked eloquently, "If the reputation of the enterprise is damaged, then consumers will refuse to buy all such products out of the principle of distrust, which is very important for the enterprise. Saying it is tantamount to annihilation.”

"Of course, normal companies may do this, so, is a Japanese company a normal company?" The host smiled mysteriously and said loudly: "Come on, let's take a look at the relevant responsibilities after commercial or political accidents in Japan. Human-to-event video footage.”

On TV, the company that caused the incident was first released, and the company was introduced, not a small company, then the cause of the incident, and finally the way the company's senior management handled it!

"Sorry for causing trouble to everyone!" After a neat shout, the company's leadership bowed at ninety degrees.

The situation escalated... All the employees of the company bowed at ninety degrees together.

After releasing several cases in a row, Jon was completely dumbfounded, and asked blankly: "No, wait, and then, what about the compensation measures?"

"Sorry, no!"

"This, this, this, I admit that their attitude is very good, well, what a large part of people want is just an attitude, but this can't be without any compensation measures!" From a professional point of view, Jon completely incomprehensible.

"Then, let's come to a few more cases. This time they are all familiar companies, including Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Hitachi and other companies that caused this incident." The host said again.

The film was played quickly, but they still bowed to the media and bowed collectively.

If it is a large-scale accident that caused casualties, then kneel and kowtow, come out and kneel and kowtow collectively!

As for more specific compensation measures, don't even think about it!

At the beginning, the audience in front of the TV felt that the attitude of the Japanese was very sincere and sincere, but sympathy was exhausted once, twice, or three times.

Why can't you just bow and kowtow all the time?

"In fact, not only Japanese companies have this attitude, but government officials also have this attitude when facing incidents." The host continued: "Let's use a case as an example. An official from the Ministry of Education took advantage of his position to In 15 years, more than 1,300 women were forced to have sex with him, 452 of whom were young."

As he said that, the scene of kowtowing and apologizing was shown on the TV. Tears streamed down his face, and he resigned from his post very sincerely...

Then there is no more!

"So, I conclude that for the country of bowers, it is enough for the Japanese to come out and bow in this incident, and then there will be no more!"

After the news was broadcast, there was a lot of hype. Some people believed it, but most people still didn't believe it.

After all, this is simply provoking people's worldview, how could it be possible to just bow and apologize no matter what happens!

The result... the next day.

In order to deal with the current anti-Japanese storm that broke out in the United States, several companies involved had to come out to apologize to the public.

Wearing a kimono with a heavy face, all employees of the company feel very sorry for the 'inconvenience' caused by the company's products to many users!

Then all the staff bowed at ninety degrees.

This time, the scene immediately caused an uproar, and the reporters on the scene were both enthusiastic and happy.

The vibe is that these Japanese are so fucking irresponsible and don't take American dads seriously, glad it's big news!

Carnival of the media world!

For a while, there was another anti-Japanese storm in the news media. The Japanese secretly changed the concept, turned the loss and disaster into inconvenience, and shirked responsibility without shame!

Faced with the attitude of the Japanese, ordinary Americans are even more annoyed by the instigation of the media!

It's just that when it comes to the business world, it's another view.

...

"The Japanese don't know this is your conspiracy, are they crazy?" Kashima, Lorraine asked with a puzzled expression.

"You just don't understand what crisis public relations is, so tell me, what else can you do if you don't apologize?" Sean raised his hand and picked Lorraine's chin.

"Of course I stood up and took responsibility!" Lorraine opened his mouth to bite, but Sean quickly withdrew his hand.

"Responsible? Compensation? Don't you want money? That's the last resort!" Sean snorted coldly, "For capitalists, morality doesn't exist at all. It's best to apologize and fool the past, even if you can't. It’s a good thing when things break out!”

"This can greatly speed up the consumption of people's enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is not unlimited!"

"When the anti-Japanese slogans are almost shouted, the enthusiasm subsides, and the media has nothing to speculate, the matter will pass!"

"Ordinary people only have 7 days in their memory. If it takes longer, they will forget that they should consume. There are so many things in the market. As for the voice of ordinary people, who cares?"

"The only ones who can really pose a threat to capitalists are capitalists!"

"They are afraid of me!" Sean pointed at himself with a thumb, "They are afraid that I will use public opinion to exert pressure on them!"

"But the worst result is losing money, so why stand up and lose money so early?"

Lorraine blinked and blinked, this, sparrow food.

"Hmph, you capitalists don't have any good things!"

"Okay, not bad." Sean chuckled, "After a few years, you will find that being able to come out and apologize is already a high standard. Those people will collude with the master, manipulate the media, and push everything to ordinary people."

"Whatever is hungry to ask for salary, hungry to resign from work, hungry to compensate, hungry to defend rights, hungry to return home will all come out. At that time, they will be dealt with according to the law. There must be zero tolerance and severe crackdowns!"

"Crazy, isn't it a matter of course to pay a salary at work? How can it be malicious to ask for a salary!" Lorraine sneered. I dare not even think about it."

Sean only showed a weird and unpredictable smile, reality is always more exciting than fiction!

...

The book's calculation of expecting the public's enthusiasm to pass away soon was wrong, and Sean would never allow it.

New Century Media stepped up its coverage, and Fox followed suit, and the capitalists in the physical manufacturing industry also began to follow suit.

In recent years, from textiles to steel, from semiconductors to machinery manufacturing, the two sides have become more hostile.

Soon, related incidents began to be reported in Europe!

Japan ascended to the world's second largest economy by stepping on many countries and the corpses of many capitalists. There are too many enemies!

Capitalists of the world unite...

Sean even ordered people to directly expose the claim amount, and the 3.5 billion claim shocked the world.

On the other hand, General Electric is not far behind, and also broke out a claim amount of 1.5 billion.

Next came the disaster-stricken companies and public associations in Washington, with a total of more than a dozen law firms claiming as much as $16 billion in claims.

These guys have a bigger appetite.

However, it has been five days since the detection of the accident, and there is still a small half of Washington that has not restored power supply.

No way, the power grid lines have to be reorganized.

The most troublesome thing is that all the equipment has to be purchased again, and there is a disagreement on whether to continue to purchase Japanese products or American products.

Theoretically speaking, if there is such a big problem, it is safe to buy American products.

But in practice, the government and power companies refuse to purchase American products!

For good reason, if the poor areas of Washington are replaced by American products, what about other places?

Should other backward areas in the state be treated fairly?

This breaks the consistent policy of American society. Areas with high taxes provide high service standards, low or no taxes, and places that lose money provide low-end standards!

What's more, who said that there is no oil and water in low-income areas?

The interest group smiled enigmatically!

The obstacles are great.

It can be changed, unless General Electric can provide low-end products, otherwise, it can only be excluded.

However, General Electric can't produce such low-end products...

Don't be surprised, the production line, raw materials, and workers are all high-end in the industry. Even if it is forced down, in the face of high costs, there will be no profit at all.

Of course, you can also buy interest groups... The question is whether the profit is worth it!

Garbage is not what you want to produce, you can produce it if you want...

On August 4, 2020, New York was hit by a typhoon, and about 257,000 households in the city were without power. Queens was the most affected, with 46,528 households experiencing power outages. Manhattan was the least affected, with only 68 households experiencing power outages.

As a port city, it is commonplace for New York to be affected by typhoons.

...

"Tell them, there is nothing to talk about, as long as the compensation is paid, the relevant news will be withdrawn immediately!"

"What, you don't want to give money?"

"Don't give me money to talk about your mother's sincerity!"

"Sincerity, sincerity, what the hell is sincerity, sincerity is $3.5 billion!"

"If you don't lose money, let them go!"

Crack, Sean hung up the phone directly!

idiot!

"Norris, call the lawmakers who work with us and ask them to tell the media that in order to protect the lives and property of the American people, they will propose strict inspection procedures and industry standards for Japanese products to Congress, and resolutely crack down on word games and edge balls. Strategy."

"For those companies that have caused great harm to the lives and property of the American people, launch an investigation plan to investigate whether their operations in the United States are illegal or criminal."

"Okay, boss!" Norris nodded and hurried down to inform.

A motion is a motion, but it does not mean that it will be passed.

But now the limelight is just right, at least it can give the congressmen a wave of prestige, and it will also put more pressure on the Japanese.

No matter how fucking unyielding, the government is likely to pass the relevant investigations out of pressure on the people.

At that time, the Japanese will be miserable.

Of course, that being said, any popular pressure is bullshit.

There are more public opinions, and there are several times when the government respects it!

The mid-term elections have already passed, and public opinion is like a urinal, which needs to be brought back and used at that time.

The key point is that the physical manufacturing industry is now collectively hostile to the Japanese, and the financial sector is taking advantage of the suddenly boiling public opinion to harvest Japanese assets.

At that time, there will be some interest groups that are closely related to Japanese companies, but the energy is still not enough.

The American consortium that has shares in Japanese companies will not make a move. Do you really think that the shareholders of the company must hope that the company will prosper and everything will be fine?

Stop talking nonsense!

At this moment, Japanese companies such as Toshiba and Mitsubishi have begged the head of the American consortium, but the result is that the public opinion is raging, and we can wait for the limelight to pass.

Short-term stock price fluctuations don't matter in the long run.

Rockefeller had communicated with a large consortium. At this time, the American consortium would not help, but wanted the Japanese to suffer more.

Only after suffering, will you know what the name of this world is!

Only then did I know how warm the arms of American fathers are!

Only then will more shares be given up, and more benefits will come out!

This is called a small tree can't straighten if it doesn't repair, and people don't repair it!

What should I do if my notebook is disobedient?

Just a good beat!

— Truman

American politicians still have professional ethics, especially when facing the father of the donor, you give money, and he really does things!

The next day, a member of the Elephant Party mentioned in front of reporters that he would propose a bill in the next Congress, in order to ensure... blah blah blah.

Anyway, it is all for the benefit of the people.

Several congressmen also proposed to launch investigations on Toshiba and other companies to strictly investigate whether there are illegal activities in every commercial activity. Otherwise, how did so many substandard products be sold to the United States?

Some congressmen came forward to criticize the irresponsibility of the quality inspection department in the United States. For a while, the official attitude suddenly became tough.

Following Sean's efforts, General Electric, General Motors, Ford, Whirlpool...many companies followed suit.

Sean made efforts in Congress, and they made efforts in the local area. The customs seized a large number of goods attacked by Japan on the grounds of random quality inspections.

Several states launched investigations, and some local courts began to issue judgments in some small cases, demanding damages from several companies.

It wasn't a big deal, but it couldn't hold back much. For a while, it seemed like there was a lot of panic.

The Japanese couldn't hold back the target, and if they really started to investigate, there would be more problems. How could the capitalists be so honest!

A charge of unfair competition can make them very uncomfortable.

If things happen alone, they don't care, but if they happen together, once the storm forms, everyone will be miserable.

It is very difficult to seize market share, and it is very fast to lose the city and land. If one is not good, a few years of hard work will turn the water.

The most important thing is that this anti-Japanese storm that I don't know why it has been hung up is sweeping from the United States towards the Eurasian continent.

Germany, France, Spain, Italy, including the United Kingdom, began to have a large number of cases involving Japanese companies.

At the beginning, media newspapers only quoted reports from the United States, and later various local reports also began to appear.

Increased scrutiny of Japanese products has already been proposed in several countries.

What made Toshiba and Mitsubishi even more irritating was that even the East began to follow suit. Some equipment exports and business cooperation that were originally under negotiation were all deadlocked, and competitors from Europe and the United States appeared one after another in the East.

Suddenly, the methods used to fool the idiots in the east no longer worked. After the sales department spent a sum of money, they only got a vague message that Americans were intervening behind it.

Eastside News is very strictly controlled, and the name Sean is only circulated among high-level officials.

There was a lack of communication between the various departments. The sales department knew that many companies in the east had sued them, but they didn't take it seriously because they were used to the superior treatment of foreigners. They didn't even notice that it was not the Orientals who brought them to court. Already outsourced.

But in the east, there is no American news at all.

...

"Tell them, I'm not in the United States, um, asking is a business trip, and the details are commercial secrets." Sean waved his hand and said.

In the past few days, the Japanese are looking for connections like crazy to come to see him.

It's just to help the Japanese pass the news that they want to meet, without any position attached, there are still many people who are willing to take the money.

Of course, this kind of calls couldn't reach Sean, and they were all answered by Norris' secretarial team, but he 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 going to personally preside over the case about 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 to start preliminary work.

The main thing is to contact Toshiba's staff, win over relationships, and prepare for buying intelligence.

The other is to get in touch with the local gang forces in Japan. The information is divided into high-end and low-end. This does not mean that there is any difference in importance, but a channel for obtaining information.

One day later, in the suburbs of Tokyo.

When he came to Tokyo for the first time, Sean ordered someone to buy a mansion for Akina Nakamori to live in, and he lived here this time.

"How's the data investigation going?"

"It's all here, boss." A Japanese man in his 40s smiled and handed over a document, put it on the table, and put it away in different categories. "These are the staff lists of Toshiba Machine Tool Division, 1980 Up to now, those who resign midway are marked in red, with a resignation time, and the green ones are transferred, with a time attached."

"This one is what we investigated. The head of the machine tool business department Hiroaki Tanimura and his confidantes have detailed information about the time he followed him, his current department, and his current situation."

"This document is a list of staff members of the Manufacturing Department, and this document is a list of Minister Lin Longer and his confidantes."

"This document is a list of Toshiba's various branches or divisions in Eastern Europe, and the ones marked in red are for machinery sales."

"Not bad, very detailed." Xiao En gave a compliment with a smile.

"Thank you boss." The Japanese man snapped a bow.

These tasks are very simple for the intelligence department, and they are not high-level confidential information. Let’s just talk about the staff list. Not only the people in the department know it, but the HR knows it, and even the financial department knows it. They always have to pay wages. .

As for who is who's confidant, office politics is everywhere, and no one knows who is the minister's confidant better than the people in their department. This kind of thing can be found out with a little money.

It is not difficult to verify a few more people at most.

Sean began to look down at the documents. According to Sean's years of experience in committing crimes, it was impossible for the minister to do this kind of thing himself.

It must be someone from the Lao Maozi's side who conducts the investigation first. Whoever is the head of the machine tool business department is more adventurous, and then conducts a test.

For example, in a place like a reception, I secretly contacted Toshiba staff in private, and the address must be in Northern Europe, it doesn't matter which country it is.

No one from Lao Maozi needs to reveal their identities, as long as they release the news that they want to buy five-axis machine tools at a high price. Of course, some private promises must be made.

After the news reaches Hiroaki Tanimura, just wait. If Hiroaki Tanimura has the guts, he will naturally send someone to continue contacting.

To be honest, in Sean's view, Toshiba's senior management may not know about this matter, because for the huge Toshiba, the benefits and risks are not directly proportional.

There is a high probability that Hiroaki Tanimura did it in private, and the operation method is also simple. After the deal is concluded privately, the other party will register a company in a North Eastern European country that is not restricted by Batumi, such as Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, to order some equipment from Toshiba.

Tanimura Hiroaki then secretly contacted Lin Longji of the manufacturing department. As long as the two reached an agreement, the records of the production department would be changed at that time. The report was the mechanical parts ordered there, and the actual production was a five-axis machine tool.

It's nothing more than deception.

The rest is even simpler, packing and shipping, as long as the things get on the cargo ship prepared by Lao Maozi, everything will be fine.

If the psychological quality is strong, it can be shipped to Eastern Europe by sea. The land here is sparsely populated, so it is not a problem to transport it to Lao Maozi.

Be eager, turn around directly after entering the high seas, and reach Vladivostok, just over a thousand kilometers away, so what are you afraid of entering Lao Maozi's territory!

Of course, someone must install it. This kind of high-precision machinery cannot be installed just by reading the manual.

Therefore, the technicians responsible for the installation must also be involved and get a share.

Sean only needs to find people who worked in Northern Europe around 1983 from Hiroaki Tanimura's confidantes. If they happen to be promoted and raise their salaries after that, it will be even more correct.

In terms of installation technicians, find someone who has business trips to Europe during the same time period.

The same method is used in the manufacturing department. Finally, let the local gangs help to investigate whether they have changed houses, bought new cars and other large-scale consumption after 1983.

Oh, by the way, you can also investigate whether Hiroaki Tanimura owed a large amount of money in the stock market before, or lost money in a casino...

It's all very simple operations!

Sean: No one knows better than I do...
