Chapter 883 Don’t you believe it?
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Li Ye and others finally arrived at Mitsubishi Motors' manufacturing plant in Okazaki Prefecture.
Then, except for Li Ye, everyone else in the inspection team was shocked.
The continuous workshops stretch into the distance like rice fields on the Great Plains, with no end in sight.
Ma Zhaoxian's face was calm, but his tone was trembling as he asked: "Is this really just a branch factory of the Mitsubishi Group? Chief Liu, are you sure this is not a place where all the Mitsubishi Group is gathered together?"
Liu Muhan looked at the scene in front of him and said with some uncertainty: "I'm not sure if it's just Mitsubishi Motors, but it's certainly not the entire Mitsubishi Group.
Because Mitsubishi Shipbuilding must be by the sea, Mitsubishi Steel and Mitsubishi Chemical should have very high chimneys.”
Xiao Jinggang frowned and said, "You don't know, Chief Liu? Then can't you just ask?"
"Don't ask, there is only Mitsubishi Motors here, Toyota's manufacturing plant is in Tianyuan City"
Li Ye interrupted Xiao Jinggang's suggestion.
Let Liu Muhan ask if this is just a Mitsubishi factory? Do you want others to see the truth that you have never seen the world?
I, Emperor Li Ye, have seen the world, don't embarrass me.
But Mr. Gu said in a deep voice: "Are you so sure? Or is it because of your pride and fear of knowing the gap between us?"
"Hey, there must be a gap? We are here to find the gap, why bother to be coy?"
"That is, if we sew our mouths shut and don't speak, people won't be able to see our true identity?"
"."
Li Ye looked at these "open-minded and free-spirited" guys, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
If there is not enough success, there will be more than enough failure.
"Seniors, I think you have misunderstood. I understand the gap between us better than any of you."
Li Ye said coldly: "What you saw is indeed only Mitsubishi Motors' manufacturing plant in Ribeng. In addition, Mitsubishi Motors also has a factory in Beacon,"
"Moreover, Mitsubishi Motors only accounts for a small part of Mitsubishi Group. Mitsubishi Group's assets are at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. Let me put it this way, are you seniors satisfied?"
"."
Everyone was stunned. The shocking numbers and cold words reported by Li Ye made them uncomfortable.
Although Li Ye has a reputation for having a "bad temper", he has maintained a "humble junior" attitude since leaving the capital. This is the first time that he has shown his "little temper".
Lu Zhizhang saw that everyone's expressions were wrong, and he quickly asked Li Ye, "Li Ye, are you talking about hundreds of billions of yen?"
Li Ye slowly shook his head and said: "No, it's US dollars."
"Ouch~"
"Hundreds of billions of dollars? Are you kidding? How much does a country cost?"
"What is our country's foreign exchange reserves this year? This is simply unbelievable."
The person who just persuaded Li Ye to "acknowledge the gap" now refuses to admit the gap.
But what Li Ye said was true.
The Mitsubishi Group was founded in 1870. At first it was just a shipping company, but as the company grew, the Mitsubishi Group began to get involved in shipbuilding, banking and insurance.
Later, he gradually owned many branches, such as aircraft, papermaking, steelmaking and even oil. When his business flourished everywhere, even the Japanese themselves did not know what kind of behemoth he was.
According to statistics, the total assets of Mitsubishi Group in later generations are as high as 20 trillion RMB, which is 50% larger than the three stars in the universe.
The only difference between it and Samsung is that its structure is relatively loose. Companies with the word Mitsubishi account for 80%, and the remaining 20% cannot be judged whether they belong to Mitsubishi, and they are still competing with each other.
But in any case, Mitsubishi Group is a huge economic entity.
Decades later, the shrinking Mitsubishi Motors business gave people the illusion that the Mitsubishi Group was on the verge of death. In fact, it was only a small part of the Mitsubishi brand.
Gu Jianqi looked at Li Ye and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether what Li Ye said is right or not, everyone should stop joking. Note that we are representing flower growers now, and we must neither be humble nor overbearing."
"."
Everyone became expressionless. What the leader said was right. Even if he was doing somersaults and sticking out his tongue a moment ago, he can still scold you to "be steady" now.
The receptionist from Mitsubishi Motors also came. It was unclear whether he had a high position or not, but his posture was very kind and he bowed at least 40 degrees, which made everyone feel a lot more comfortable.
However, after entering the workshop, everyone still had strange expressions on their faces.
Someone murmured: "It is even more modern than the production line of Volkswagen in West Germany. I personally went to Shanghai to inspect the production line of Santana"
“I have never been to Shanghai, but the 212 and Cherokee in Beijing cannot compare with this place.”
Santana is now the most advanced production line in the mainland, but at this time, the production line of Volkswagen in Shanghai is a bit "horrible" compared with the production line of Mitsubishi small trucks in front of us.
Santana has been produced in Shanghai since 1985. Before that, "Made in Shanghai" was a well-known golden sign in the mainland, representing the highest level of machinery manufacturing in the mainland.
But how is Santana made?
Volkswagen produces semi-finished cars at its factory in West Germany, then packs the semi-finished cars and parts and ships them to Shanghai Volkswagen, which completes the final product assembly. At that time, the domestic Santana was made in Germany from top to bottom, and the assembly line was really shabby, without even a conveyor belt.
But the production line of Mitsubishi trucks in front of me has been fully mechanized.
"Sorry, no photos allowed, please leave the camera to us for safekeeping!"
A cold shout brought everyone in a daze back to reality.
At this time, everyone discovered that Secretary Zhong had brought a camera and was going to "take pictures" of Gu Jianqi at the scene.
Liu Muhan quickly explained to the other party, and then ordered Secretary Zhong to hand over the camera.
“Didn’t we emphasize that taking photos is not allowed? If you do this, our visit will be terminated.”
"I don't have any photography equipment. Japanese idiots can take photos when they visit our mainland. How stingy."
Secretary Zhong explained himself, but in the end he had to hand over the camera.
Li Ye looked at Professor Zhao, who nodded slightly and gave Li Ye a "no problem" look.
Why did Professor Zhao bring a "proud disciple" this time? Just because that kid is a genius with a "photographic memory".
Li Ye was able to achieve photographic memory with the help of a biological hard drive, but he did not recognize so many equipment at the scene, and he was unable to restore many of the craftsmanship details at the scene afterwards.
At this moment, Li Ye only looked at the young man named "Xiao Zheng" and looked around almost without blinking, hoping that he was really as magical as Professor Zhao said.
After seeing the mini truck production line, Liu Muhan followed Li Ye's instructions and asked him again to visit the passenger car production line.
Surprisingly, the other party readily admitted it.
"Hey, these little dwarfs are quite generous!"
"Well, we represent the country after all."
Everyone happily changed the factory area and visited the passenger car production workshop, and then they were shocked again.
It turns out that the production line here is more advanced.
After the other party's introduction, it turned out that the mini truck production line was an old equipment from the 1970s, which was ten years behind the times.
"How far behind are we?"
With this question in mind, and under the warm invitation of the Japanese side, everyone visited the production workshop of the flagship product Pajero off-road vehicle.
Then, everyone stopped talking.
Even the technical authorities sitting in the office drinking tea have seen the situation of mainland automobile factories. The huge gap makes them feel a huge sense of fear.
And at this time, some people have come to their senses. They generously invite you to watch, just to make you feel frustrated, and then kneel down and worship them.
The lighthouse people used this method to enslave the Japanese people, who in turn used it on Li Ye and others.
On the way back to the car, everyone was silently thinking about their thoughts. Only Xiao Zheng was mumbling words and quickly drawing some graphics and symbols in his notebook.
Secretary Zhong suddenly said: "What's the point of drawing these things?"
Xiao Zheng looked up at Secretary Zhong and continued to draw with his head down, not wanting to pay attention to him at all.
Secretary Zhong looked unhappy, and then heard Li Ye say: "The meaning of his paintings is to learn, catch up, and surpass."
"."
After Secretary Zhong was stunned for a moment, he burst into laughter.
A sarcastic smile.
Li Ye's face was as dark as water, and he said extremely calmly: "Don't you believe it?"
"."
No one answered, no one spoke to Li Ye, and even Professor Zhao sighed deeply.
The gap in the 1980s was truly despairing.
Just catch up, surpass. Are you dreaming?
Maybe Professor Zhao believed it when he was young, but now, he is confused and hesitant.
Liu Muhan suddenly hit Li Ye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe it, I believe you!"
Li Ye also smiled, a little sourly.
Finally, someone believed it and actually agreed with him in a joking manner.
But then Xiao Zheng raised his head again and said firmly to Li Ye: "I believe it too!"
Well, it feels good to have someone walking with you.
