Chapter 174 War 1

The world economic crisis that broke out in August 35 led to drastic changes in the economic and political situation of the whole world, especially the rapid deterioration of social contradictions in individual regions. At the beginning of the crisis, governments tightened their nerves, especially in the Far East. It seemed that a big war was imminent. It's ready to go. The changes in the situation in the Far East are closely related to world politics. All the countries in the Far East are countries that have a significant impact in the world, especially China and Japan, which are conflicting neighbors, which worries the governments of major countries. For politicians, the war in the Far East is not terrible. What is terrible is the impact of the war in the Far East on the world economy and the ensuing turmoil in the region. Under emergency coordination, the political situation in the Far East has finally stabilized. Whether the two powers in the Far East succumb to the pressure of countries around the world or the powerlessness of each other, it is "peace" after all.

However, as soon as the economic and trade agreement in the Far East was signed, economic commentators around the world pointed out that the "War of the Far East" was about to break out, and its intensity was "no less than a military conflict" and a "national war" related to life and death. At the same time, although international companies cannot participate in this triangular melee, they all express great concern about this, because whether the large companies in the Far East win or lose in this conflict will pose a great threat to international rivals. These large companies in the Far East may have trade-offs, may make profits together, or lose money, but China's huge market will make these companies earn a lot of money, enough to compete with their world counterparts for the world market. For European and American companies, the best outcome is that the big companies in the Far East are both defeated, "one peach kills three people", and the three major economies in the Far East are finished together. In the end, they will sweep the Far East market with capital and technical advantages and clean up the Indian market. That's the best thing. Unfortunately, this is just a theoretical fantasy. All the big companies that have survived this war are strong, strong people who have made great progress, and even some large companies that are in a weak position are not what they can easily deal with! Of course, the fierce war in the Far East has also consumed the energy and financial resources of major companies, weakened their vigor in competing for the world market, and many large companies have been seriously weakened, accelerating the pace of being eliminated by the market.

The Battle of the Far East is also known as a war without winners and losers, and the reason for saying so is that almost all the world-class giants concerned by governments and large companies have been seriously weakened. For the world market, there are too many big companies, but there are only a few giants in the industry. Almost all walks of life are divided up by large companies in several large economies, so these companies are the focus of some people's attention.

In all major industries around the world, there are some top international giants. The three high-tech industries of electronics, new materials and biotechnology have always been the focus of people's attention, while other traditional industries, such as energy, aviation manufacturing, automobiles, machinery, transportation, textiles, food, finance, insurance, and news Real estate and other industries are also of great concern. Far Eastern enterprises in the energy industry are not strong, and aviation manufacturing is relatively weak, but it is not weak at all in other aspects. There are world-class top giants in almost every industry. The economic strength of the three major East Asia in the Far East is extremely strong. China is the world's second largest economy, and Japan is the third largest economy in the world. Even South Korea and North Korea are also in the top 20 in the world. In terms of market capacity, North America is the second, Europe is the first, and China is the third, but in fact, North America and European economies are not as good as East Asia. The three economies of the three countries are large, and world experts agree that once the three East Asian countries are completely regionalized, the East Asian economies must be the world's largest economy, surpassing Europe and larger than North America. How can this not attract the attention of the world's major countries, especially international companies? The actual situation is that in traditional industries such as automobiles, machinery, transportation, textiles, food, finance, insurance and news, the Far East occupies an important position, especially Japan is the most powerful, followed by China and South Korea. Among the three high-tech industries with huge world consumption, the Far East has an advantage.

Of course, Europe and the United States are not at a disadvantage. For example, before the economic crisis, the top 20 companies in the electronics industry accounted for 6 in the United States and 5 in Europe, accounting for more than half of them, while China is only 3, even Japan has only 4 (There is only one in South Korea and North Korea); for example, among the top ten, Europe accounts for three, and China, Japan and the United States each account for two. Therefore, Europe and the United States are not inferior at all. They are just used to dominating the world and are reluctant to separate the world with Far East companies. Among the top ten companies in the new materials industry, there is only one in China and only two in Japan, while the United States holds two, and Europe and the United States occupy half a total, accounting for 47.6% of the total assets (the top 10) of 14.42 trillion (the electronics industry accounts for 50.6% of the 15.53 trillion yuan of assets) In the field of biotechnology, no large Chinese company is in the top ten in the world, and Japanese, American and European companies account for up to nine of them! As for the top 100 or 50 companies, Europe and the United States account for the majority. It can be said that if there is a little carelessness, the world-class companies in the Far East will be overtaken by the companies that follow closely. It can be seen how bad the situation in the world of the Far East, especially Chinese enterprises, is!

However, the world situation is changing. From the world's largest companies occupied by European and American countries a hundred years ago, to the rise of Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Indian enterprises in recent decades, the world ranking of large companies has undergone subtle changes. The situation of European and American dominance has gradually ceased to exist, and a large number of emerging international companies are crowded. Entering, and the entry of each company marks the gloomy withdrawal of another big company. The so-called "feng shui take turns, and tomorrow's flower will fall into whose home". The reason why this Far East War is so eye-catching is that on the one hand, China and Japan are both world economic powers, and the antagonism between the two countries is also relatively serious. Everyone wants to see whether K China, a rising star, can be lower than Japan, an old economic power. You know, even if Europeans and Americans look down on China, they will never look down on it. In Japan, everyone wants to see the performance of this pair of Far East swornies! On the other hand, maybe people don't admit that big companies don't want to speak their minds, but no one can deny their attention to a Chinese company. All major companies don't want to take a look at how they have become the world's top consortium fairy companies after only 30 years of performance in this Far East War. Writing magic is still vulnerable, or just barely protect yourself. Because the fairy rose too fast, in just 30 years, she occupied the 16th place in the world's largest consortium, and the economic crisis made her rise to the seventh place in an instant. Who knows what a surprise she will make to the world in this crisis!

The world's largest companies are unwilling to admit the status of the fairy, especially her strength, but there is no doubt that everyone wants her to be weakened. The Japanese may not be able to drag her down, but at least they should be able to seriously weaken her! The growing strength of China's economy is the concern of governments. Large companies are unwilling to make peace, as long as they can make profits in the Chinese market. However, the strength of fairies is something that major companies do not want. They are willing to see that China is full of shrimp soldiers and crabs, and they will never want to fight with powerful opponents. Especially a new and terrible legendary company like Fairy. Not only do large companies not want to see fairies strong, but also some governments oppose the strength and expansion of fairies. Never before has a private company so obvious embarrassing political elites. Who can like fairies? It is understandable that big companies have bad intentions towards fairies. If you ask how strong fairies are, most people may not think so before the economic crisis, because fairies are not very good. Although she has 30 years of leapfrog development, there are only a few aspects that really affects the world. Already! The loose consortium of steel companies can make the international steel consortium a headache, but now the share of the steel industry in the international consortium is getting smaller and smaller, and their voices no longer belong to the mainstream of society. As for the textile company consortium, it has nothing to do with large conglomerates. It is only related to some small-scale large companies. And all the governments. What really attracts the attention of big companies are Fairy's electronics companies and new materials companies, which are their strongest rivals in the Chinese market, but everyone is not afraid, and there is no need to worry, because Fairy's two companies are just noisy in China and are not worthy of everyone's real attention. But we can't help but care that few large companies can have two of the world's top five companies in the three high-tech fields at once. How can they not attract attention if they have the headquarters of such a large-scale company?

But the fairy also has a fatal shortcoming. She is a dragon in the Chinese market, but when she goes abroad, she is just a bug. It's not that she doesn't want to explore the international market, but that all her exports that cross the door of China have been blocked by major companies. If the fairies can be trapped in China, then the big companies will be at least 60% successful, which can greatly reduce the pressure on them by this strong consortium. They can obtain the benefits lost in China from the world market to maintain the income balance with the fairies, and the fairies who can't reach the border are at most a Chinese company. . In this way, even if it can't stop the fairy's strength and growth, it can stop her from advancing to the world, and even hang her one day! However, the outbreak of the economic crisis, especially the fairy, successfully avoided the economic crisis, and because of her reserve of world-shocking funds, the big companies were sad. From worrying to sighing, the fairy tiger was finally released into a cage! Major companies that have been seriously damaged in the economic crisis have been unable to stop and even block the activities of this terrible opponent worldwide. At the same time, because of the damage to financial resources and the serious deterioration of the economic situation, they also have to send out a large number of "asset assets" to support the fairy trapped in the seal that everyone thinks is hopeless and muddy. The market, as well as the Chinese market, which is seriously unfavorable to them, blocking fairies has become the use and lure of fairies! The economic crisis has not only seriously damaged the high-tech industry, but also caused heavy losses to traditional industries. Real estate, automobiles, steel, transportation, news, food, insurance and other industries have entered a vicious state. In the industries involved by fairies, all of their opponents have one or several traditional industries. Under the double attack, I can't help thinking of the fairy.

Almost for the sake of consistency, large companies in Japan, the United States and Europe have ceded the industry loved by fairies to her, especially the companies in Japan and the United States. It is said that they were later known as the victims and victims of fairy acquisitions. What makes people helpless and even admire is that the parent companies of the company acquired by Fairy are almost all the world's top large companies, Inter, the first in the electronics industry, the second Matsumoto and the fourth in Texas Electronics; Shijia, the world's first in the new materials industry, Simon, the second, and Ji Ke, the fifth. ; Yamazaki, who ranked first in the biotechnology industry, and Hughes, who ranked second, both transferred their industries to the fairies. From these giants, the fairies paid a total of 925 billion yuan, with an unusually rich income.

Before the economic crisis, the assets of the electronics industry boss were more than 2.6 trillion yuan. After being eaten by the fairy, it fell to more than 2 trillion yuan, and the actual assets were only more than 860 billion yuan. Matsumoto's original assets were 2.2 trillion yuan. After being stripped of Beichuan Electronics, it fell to 1.8 trillion yuan. Yuan and 1 trillion yuan of real assets; after losing Dehe Electronics, Texas Electronics became a large company with only 650 billion yuan... On the contrary, Fairy Electronics not only was not seriously weakened, but its ranking rose to the first place, and even rose from 1.73 trillion yuan of original assets to 3,400 yuan today. The original assets of 100 million yuan and the actual assets of 1.88 trillion yuan occupy an absolute advantage. According to statistics, among the top ten companies, the proportion of Fairy's original assets has increased from 11.3% to 20.5%, and the proportion of actual assets has reached 25% of the total of 7.44 trillion yuan. There is one! In the new material industry, the number one Shijia Company has divested the assets of 550 billion yuan to Fairy, and the original assets have been reduced to less than 1.8 trillion yuan, and the actual assets are only 600 billion yuan; the second-ranked Simon Company has been divested of 160 billion yuan, and its assets before the economic crisis have reached 5. 70 billion yuan, making her actual assets drop to about 440 billion yuan, and even the original assets only have 1.4 trillion yuan left; and the fifth-ranked Indian giant is seriously damaged. In the quagmire of India, she can't extricate herself at all... On the contrary, the damaged fairy, the amount of assets is from before the crisis. The 1.47 trillion yuan rose to 2.9 trillion yuan, almost doubled, and the share rose from 10.2% to 20.1%; the actual assets reached 25.36% of the 5.62 trillion yuan, which is also one in the world! What shocked people was her achievements in the field of biotechnology. Before the economic crisis, Yamazaki Company topped the list, with assets of more than 2 trillion yuan. After being stripped of more than 940 billion yuan by the fairy, there was less than 1.2 trillion yuan left, and the actual assets also fell from 500 billion yuan to more than 330 billion yuan, according to the actual assets. To calculate, it even fell behind Delhi Company in India; while Hughes in the United States was divested more than 700 billion yuan by the fairy, and its actual assets fell from nearly 600 billion yuan to more than 300 billion yuan, continuing to rank behind Yamazaki Company. Of course, this does not mean that the strength of the two companies has been greatly weak, and their actual competition The ability is also very strong, and the fairy knows it better than anyone else. Although the fairy has not entered this industry for a long time, it has been successfully established as soon as the time comes. She not only acquired many industries of her domestic counterparts and set up her own industrial foundation, but also acquired the relevant industries of international giants. The actual assets have risen to more than 700 billion yuan. Can this not shock the international giants?

Although these industries acquired by the fairy are not completed at one time, only a few acquisitions in the early stage are enough to make people look at it. Every subsequent acquisition not only makes their opponents secretly happy, but also makes them more vigilant. As you know, if the fairy does not If you die, you will become a strong enemy in the future! It can be said that on the one hand, the world's big companies have fattened the fairies and given her a large number of assets; on the other hand, the fairies have also directly supported these large companies, increasing their own market competition.

The Battle of the Far East is the economic struggle of the three major economic powers in East Asia. Naturally, there are products in the market, such as automobiles and electromechanical products. At this time, no one wants them at all. Except for a few people, even some upstarts will not easily purchase them. It is said that in the northern market, only 200 cars have been sold in three years, and the sales volume in Shanghai is not as much as that in Beijing, but no matter what aspect, companies have competed for it. Because at this time, those who are allowed to start production are some industries with market demand, mostly consumable products, such as electronics, new materials, biopharmaceuticals, electrical appliances and other products, and of course, some parts and other basic products. Needless to say, there is almost no unprofitable food company in China. In almost every industry with a large market, the companies of the three countries have engaged in a brutal competition. Fairy companies are the first to take the brunt, especially foreign companies regard fairies as a priority and priority. Since the signing of the Sino-Japanese trade agreement, experts have pointed out that the fairy's actions are like playing with fire. Although she has strong funds, every time she buys one, she funds the production and operation of a company. Therefore, many people are both supportive and dissatisfied with the fairy's acquisition of foreign companies, especially Japanese companies. The acquisition of the subordinate industries of the US subsidiary can enhance her asset strength and quickly attack the world market after the crisis. However, the acquisition of Japanese companies not only feeds these companies, but also weighs the burden on domestic enterprises in the market competition. When Fairy acquired two Japanese companies in 36 years, it had already aroused everyone's criticism, because Shijia Company and Yamazaki Company's "hawking" in the Chinese market were very vigorous, which made many domestic companies unable to raise their heads, and more and more people scolded the fairy, but at this time, the situation was still relatively stable. Because the fairy foundation is strong, the company has no debt, the reserve capital is as high as hundreds of billions of yuan, and Japan does not have a big attack (mainly because the market is still relatively small). However, by the beginning of 1937, China's economy stopped declining, social consumption increased, and the market showed a strong recovery. Japanese and North Korean products began to enter China in large quantities, and fairies began to face all kinds of pressure.
