Hardy Empire 1945

Hardy looked at the seized and confiscated directory, which included most of the Japanese companies that participated in supporting the Japanese military industry during World War II.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

From 1937 to 1945, Mitsubishi was one of the largest military manufacturers of the Japanese army, producing eight aircraft carriers, 30 large battleships, and a large number of aircraft, tanks, artillery, bombs, etc.

After World War II, all military factories were seized and seized by the United States, including subsidiary factories, and Mitsubishi Corporation, the Mitsubishi consortium, was also split up.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

During World War II, the company provided the Japanese army with Jebi fighter jets, Type 5 fighter jets, and Type 1 transport aircraft. It also built the battleship Haruna and the aircraft carrier Kaga. It also produced military motorcycles, railway locomotives, and railway equipment.

Panasonic.

From 1936 to 1945, it produced a large number of fighter jets, aerial bombs, communication equipment, and mountain artillery for the Japanese army.

Toshiba.

From 1939 to 1945, it produced 97 and 95 medium tanks, heavy machine guns, and various mountain guns for the Japanese army.

Fuji Heavy Industries.

During World War II, a total of more than 20,000 military aircraft of various types were produced, accounting for one-third of the total number of Japanese military aircraft during World War II.

Yamaha.

Originally a musical instrument company, it produced a large number of aircraft accessories during the war, and some factories were seized and confiscated.

Nikon.

It mainly produces optical equipment. During World War II, all military telescopes, collimators, range finders, aerial cameras, and periscopes used by the Japanese army were provided by Nikon.

NEC.

During World War II, together with Sumitomo Electric, they jointly produced electronic and semiconductor equipment such as radars, wireless phones, and electronic tubes for the Japanese army.

Nissan.

A large number of military cars and trucks were produced during World War II.

isuzu.

During World War II, it provided the Japanese army with armored vehicles, tractors, military trucks and other military vehicles.

Nakajima Aircraft.

During World War II, Japan's military fighter jet supplier, Mitsubishi and Fuji, were three pillars. Since it was a pure military enterprise, it was completely seized and confiscated after the war.

Hitachi.

During the war, Hitachi produced warships, tanks, engines, military aircraft engines and other parts, and some factories were seized.

Hino.

Enterprises that produce Kamikaze aircraft engines also provide other enterprises with tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks, tractors and other military equipment accessories. All factories involved in the production of military products were seized and confiscated.

In addition, there are military enterprises that produce bullets, chemicals, and logistical materials.

The total number is around 300.

Hardy said in his heart that even if he only eats these 300 companies, it will be enough for the seven major consortiums to have a full meal. As an economic special envoy, the government has given him the right to deal with these companies.

Hardy is sure to take full advantage.

The right to void without expiry.

When watching the anti-Japanese drama, many people said that if they had the ability, they would torture the Japanese severely. Now that they have this opportunity, how could they let it go.

Don't think that the anti-Japanese drama is useless.

In fact, it is a very good way of publicity.

At the very least, hatred for the aggressors can be left in people's minds, and history and pain cannot be forgotten.

When it's finally time for me to torment you, don't blame me for not being gentle.

look further down.

The material introduces the current status of large Japanese companies, including banks, commerce, heavy industry, electrical machinery, breweries, glass factories, steel factories, petrochemicals, automobiles, real estate, semiconductors, communications, medical companies, textile companies, food companies, etc.

There are more than six hundred in total.

After the United States occupied Japan, it was very wary of Japan, and its policy towards the Japanese economy was mainly suppressed and weakened.

Disband the Japanese chaebols and split up large companies. The former large conglomerates are now all split up, and finance and foreign trade are strictly controlled.

In the few years after the war, more than 40,000 machines and equipment were transported away and scattered in China and Southeast Asian countries.

Japan's domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, and factories are in a state of semi-shutdown. Last year, the output value of all Japanese companies was only tens of millions of dollars, which is not as good as the output value of a single American company.

But from the list, what Hardy sees is that Japan still has its foundations. As long as he is given a sigh of relief, these companies will quickly revive and develop.

Hardy looked at the list for a whole day, and thought about it for a day, then called people from other consortiums to prepare for the first mission meeting.

one day later,

The persons in charge selected by various consortiums to participate in the Japanese investment came to Los Angeles one after another, and they met again at Hardy's Beverly Hills estate.

Hardy called Andy over, too.

Hardy glanced at the dozen or so people present, and said with a smile: Everyone should have obtained the Japanese business directory, what do you think after reading it?

The vice president of Morgan Stanley said: Japan's finances are very fragile now. The finances have no money, the banks have no money, and the people have no money. I think this is a good opportunity for us to absorb their banking industry and assets.

The vision of bankers is different from ordinary people. Some people think that there is no money here, how can I make money, but bankers see that now that they are short of money, it is a good time to lend and acquire assets.

The vice president of Rockefeller said: Japan's industrial chain is very complete. In fact, from the Meiji Restoration to the present, Japan has been learning from Europe. The industry has developed rapidly, and they have mature industrial workers. The wages of workers are very cheap compared to the United States, and the wages are only equivalent. One-fourth and one-fifth of the United States, it is very suitable for industrial factories.

Others also expressed their views.

They all saw the point where they could make money.

Hardy said: I called you here because I want to discuss a plan of action before going to Japan to maximize profits.

When people heard Hardy's words, smiles appeared on their faces.

They are capitalists, and their favorite thing is to make money, and maximizing their profits is simply in line with their appetite.

Mr. Hardy, please tell me what you think, you are the leader of this delegation. Someone said with a smile.

Hardy smiled.

Today I mainly talk about the group of Japanese military enterprises seized by the U.S. military. There are a total of about 300 companies in that group. During the war, they provided a large number of military products to the Japanese army. After being occupied by the military, these enterprises were seized.

I asked President Johnson once, and President Johnson made it clear that these companies are under the jurisdiction of the economic guidance group.

I checked and found that these enterprises cover many categories. There are 8 large-scale ship manufacturers, 4 aircraft manufacturers, 5 automobile manufacturers, dozens of parts supporting companies, and other companies. The total number is 300. Many.

In these enterprises, some factory equipment has been dismantled and shipped to China and some countries in Southeast Asia as compensation. Some parts have not been dismantled. In fact, the machinery and equipment are good. Their land and factory buildings have not been relocated, which is not a small sum. asset.

I have an idea. If you are interested, let's discuss how to deal with these companies here.

These people here are veterans of the market, so they naturally know that these assets are definitely valuable.

certainly,

Also depends on the price.

The vice president of Rockefeller asked: It is possible that those factories have been demolished. I don't know how to value these assets, Mr. Hardy?

Hardy spread his hands.

I don't know how to set the price. Strictly speaking, those assets no longer belong to Japan, but are seized by the United States. The United States has the final say on how much to sell.

My idea is that here we are, estimate a 'reasonable' price for each property, get the President and Congress to pass that price, and then sell them to us so we can get them 'legally'.

Hardy took the words reasonable and legal very seriously.

All the old foxes present here immediately understood what Hardy meant, with smiles on their faces.

Hardy continued:

After the price is determined, let's discuss together who will buy those companies, and wait for the price to be passed by Congress to complete the purchase directly. What do you think?

I think Mr. Hardy's idea is very good! The representative of the Texas consortium said loudly.

I support Mr. Hardy's opinion. The representative of the Cleveland Foundation agreed.

Price your own purchases yourself.

As an athlete and as a referee.

It's no wonder that the fuck doesn't make money.
