I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state - Chapter 1476
#1476: Second visit to the Yasuda family!
Suburbs of Tokyo.
This is a property belonging to the Yasuda family.
Yang Ming had already been here once before.
However, the previous head of the Yasuda family passed away a few years ago when he was nearly ninety years old, and the person who succeeded him was the grandfather of Yasuda Ningzi.
However, Grandpa Yasuda Ningzi is also nearly seventy years old.
When the special car that Yang Ming was sitting in had just arrived at the door of Yasuda’s house.
The car door opens.
After getting off the car, Yang Ming saw an old man who was not tall, wearing a suit and dressed up and looking energetic. He was also the current head of the Yasuda family.
Seeing Sir Yang arriving accompanied by his granddaughter, Mr. Yasuda seemed very excited and walked over quickly to hold Yang Ming’s hand.
“Sir Yang, welcome to Yasuda’s house.”
“Mr. Yasuda, the last time I came here was when your father was still alive.”
“Sir Yang, my father told you many times before his death that you were the most powerful genius in business in history.”
Mr. Yasuda said so.
As for whether that is the case?
Yang Ming really didn’t know that Mr. Yasuda now praised Yang Ming without hesitation.
Yang Ming disapproved in his heart, knowing that these Japanese people are very cunning. On the surface, they do one thing, but in fact they do another. Without truly surrendering to you, it is difficult to see what the other person is thinking in their heart.
Mr. Yasuda welcomed Yang Ming in.
In this special-looking living room, Yang Ming saw a black and white photo.
In fact, this is the Yasuda family, the founders of the Yasuda Zaibatsu.
The founder of the Yasuda Zaibatsu was Zenjiro Yasuda, who founded the Yasuda Store in Tokyo (then called Edo) in 1866.
At the beginning, it also started as an exchange business for the shogunate government.
The founder died in a special way. He was assassinated in his villa.
The assassin also published a short article called “The Rape of the Rape”, in which he denounced the founder of the Yasuda family for making unkind wealth, endangering society, and causing resentment in people’s livelihood. He should be punished by God, and then he would do justice for God. He also solved himself next to him.
This koan is relatively famous in Eastern history.
Then the Yasuda family donated money everywhere to establish the famous Yasuda Lecture Hall at the University of Tokyo, as well as various Yasuda Hospitals, Yasuda Parks, etc.
It lasted until the Meiji Restoration era.
After entering the Meiji era, the Third National Bank of Toyo was established, reorganized into Yasuda Bank, and later renamed Fuji Bank, and finally became Mizuho Bank, one of the three major banks in Toyo.
One obvious difference between the Yasuda Zaibatsu and the other three Zaibatsu is that the Yasuda Zaibatsu is definitely focused on finance as its main business, and it hardly involves the resources, energy, heavy industry, and trade that the other three Zaibatsu do. It can be said that it ranks among the four major Zaibatsu. , has absolute control over finance.
Yasuda Zenjiro’s philosophy is that the financial industry is to implement the financial industry thoroughly.
Therefore, since the Meiji Era, the Yasuda Zaibatsu has centered on banks and extended to surrounding financial-related industries such as personal insurance, property insurance, marine insurance, bonds, and securities.
After the defeat, it was also forced to disband. Unlike the dissolution of the other three chaebols, Country M paid special attention to the financial aspect. In addition to the dissolution of the chaebol and the dissolution of family rule, it also froze all the assets of the Yasuda Zaibatsu and forced its exit. Companies that have invested in the Yasuda Zaibatsu cannot be divested and their management must be replaced.
This measure is more detailed than the other three chaebols.
After Dongyang regained its sovereignty, that is, after the occupation army’s rule ended, Yasuda restored some of it. Of course, family management and management have not been completely abolished.
The members of the Yasuda family were mainly concentrated in Fuji Bank, and later gradually formed the Furong Society, an organization similar to the other three chaebols.
The origin of the name Furongkai is based on Fuji Bank. The word “Fuji” has an elegant name in Japan, which is also related to the spirit of Mount Fuji. It is Furong, so it is called Furongkai.
The purpose is that all group companies are equal and can communicate and exchange information across industries. Relatively speaking, it is a very loose organization.
Everyone focused on the forum, so it was also called the Furong Forum.
Toyo Fuji Bank is one of the largest commercial banks in Japan and the world. It is one of the backbone enterprises of the Toyo Furong Enterprise Group. The group members also include many well-known enterprises in Japan and the world, such as Canon, Hitachi, Nissan Motor, Yamaha, Marubeni, etc.
Among them, Fuji Bank’s main businesses include deposits, loans, securities investment, domestic exchange, foreign exchange, corporate bond trusteeship and registration; its concurrent businesses mainly include agency, custody, securities loans, debt guarantees, etc.
As of the end of March 1987, Fuji Bank had 249 branches domestically and 14 branches and 32 offices abroad.
Furong Group, with Fuji Bank as its core, also has 29 direct companies and 54 affiliated companies.
On the other hand, Fuji Bank attaches great importance to its business in Country Z and is one of the first Toyo banks to carry out business in Country Z. From 1972 to the present, Fuji Bank’s senior officials have frequently visited China and been interviewed by important people many times.
In other words, the Fuji Foundation of the Yasuda family is indeed not simple.
However, on the other hand, he also knew the last time Yang Ming visited the old head of the Yasuda family.
The Fuji Consortium seems very large, but the Yasuda family doesn’t really control much.
Among the four major chaebols, the Yasuda chaebol ranks first in capital. But except for the Imperial Fiber Company and the Yasuda Industrial Company, it lacks a strong industrial sector.
Although Nissan Co., Ltd. of Yoshisuke Ayukawa is also considered part of the Yasuda chaebol on the surface, he has never been a member of the Yasuda family.
Although today’s Fuji Group is nominally the successor of the Yasuda chaebol, it is actually a group centered on Yoshisuke Ayukawa’s heavy industry and chemical industry group.
The conflict between the Yasuda family and the Ayukawa family is very deep.
Yang Ming has noticed this point a long time ago.
However, now Yang Ming sees the photo of the founder of the Yasuda family and thinks of a lot.
“Sir Yang, this is the first ancestor of our Yasuda family to rise.” Old Mr. Yasuda said beside him.
Yang Ming nodded.
Go inside.
In the courtyard inside, the temperature is still more than 20 degrees Celsius during the day, which is still quite comfortable.
Now Yang Ming, Yasuda Ningzi, and Mr. Yasuda sat down, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxuan, and Yingla were behind Yang Ming, and a young woman in a Japanese kimono was performing the Japanese tea ceremony for Yang Ming.
“Sir Yang, please.”
The young Japanese woman had already poured a cup of tea for Yang Ming through performance.
Although the tea ceremony was first introduced to Japan from China, it has long been discontinued in China. On the contrary, it is still being carried forward in Japan.
Yang Ming took a sip and found that the tea tasted okay. (End of this chapter)
