Chapter 504 New World Plan
Yamamoto Yoshi nodded to the assistant beside him, and the assistant immediately took out a stack of pre-prepared plans from his suitcase.
Then, portions were distributed to everyone according to their seats.
"New World Project." When Li Xianshu saw the name on the plan, a hint of contempt appeared in her eyes.
However, when she opened the plan, her expression became inexplicably solemn.
This plan is very, very good...
The plan is not very long, and everyone here only took a short time to read the entire plan.
"Everyone, I believe that after reading the plan, everyone has a general understanding of the plan we have drawn up." Yamamoto Yoshi said eloquently: "After our detailed discussion, this plan is very feasible."
"Really?" A questioning voice sounded among the crowd.
The person who spoke was Okamoto Jiro, a director of the Black Dragon Society.
"Give up 30% of the ports and cooperate with the Mitsui Zaibatsu, exchanging transportation lines for retail outlets,"
"This plan is completely about giving the Black Dragon Society's interests to outsiders."
"Yamamoto Yoshi, as the vice president, you are so bold as to sacrifice the foundation of the Black Dragon Society. I think you should step down."
Okamoto Jiro's remarks immediately attracted several people to agree with him.
Yes, Yamamoto Yoshi's New World Plan was to break the original transportation network and exchange part of the transportation routes for the retail outlets in the hands of the Mitsui Zaibatsu.
The Black Dragon Society started out as a transportation company. In Japan, the Black Dragon Society has occupied more than 60% of the ports.
However, as the local economy suffered an unprecedented impact, all industries gradually declined.
In 1930, the Abe Cabinet issued several decrees, freezing wages, freezing material sales, and failing to renew the bilateral trade contract with the United States as scheduled.
Under the implementation of various abnormal laws, people are complaining and the economy is getting worse.
Now that local supplies are extremely scarce, the supplies business has become extremely popular.
The Mitsui Zaibatsu has the largest and most comprehensive retail network in the country, but it still relies on the Black Dragon Society for transportation.
Yamamoto Yoshi meant to sacrifice the ports in Kyushu, Sasebo Naval Base, Okamoto, and Fukuoka in exchange for Mitsui's retail outlets.
In short, it is group transformation.
The Black Dragon Society is no longer simply engaged in the transportation industry, but in transportation and retail.
To put it simply, this model is like the future JD.com of China, which has its own directly-operated stores and sells its own products.
Integrating logistics warehousing and store sales.
But the biggest question is, where will the supplies come from?
The Black Dragon Society has no factory properties. What they have are various fleets of vehicles and warehouses. If they want to transform, not only will the risk be huge, but the investment will also be astronomical.
But it must be said that this plan seems very enterprising to Li Xianshu, but this approach is obviously different from that of the conservatives like Yamamoto Kazuo.
In fact, a few years ago, Li Xianshu also prepared a similar transformation plan.
She has always believed that the Black Dragon Society's business is too single-minded and simple transportation cannot accelerate the development of the Black Dragon Society.
However, the new plan she had prepared was rejected before it even started.
It is undeniable that the implementation of this plan will encounter extraordinary resistance. First of all, the president will not agree.
Kazuo Yamamoto believes that the Black Dragon Society's current revenue is very stable and a hasty transformation would lead to internal instability.
But all this is based on the premise of healthy development of Japan's economy.
However, Japan's domestic economy is not doing well now, and transformation may be a new idea at this time, but the price is something the Black Dragon Society may not be able to afford.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Yamamoto Yoshi looked around at everyone and said, "Director Okamoto, I understand your concerns."
"We in the Black Dragon Society don't have a large factory or a complete supply chain. If we rashly launch the New World Plan, it would be a huge gamble."
"However, since we have made this plan, we must have some hidden cards in mind."
"Don't be afraid to say it directly. Director Yamamoto Yoshisaburo has arrived in China. Director Takita Yoshihito of the Black Dragon Society's Asian Affairs Department and President Omura of the Manchuria Railway have signed a strategic cooperation agreement."
"The Manchurian Railway will become our largest trading partner, transporting Chinese materials to the mainland."
Okamoto Jiro laughed and said, "Vice President Yamamoto, I know your idea is good, but as far as I know, the transportation routes that your son currently controls are only the Pingsui Line and the Pingjin Line in China, as well as a short section of the route from Changchun to Beiping."
"That's a castrated line."
“All the routes combined only account for one-fifth of China’s transportation network.”
"How can you guarantee the smooth delivery of supplies to the mainland with just this few routes? You are gambling with the interests of the Black Dragon Society."
"Based on your plan, China's supplies will not be able to reach our country within three months, and all our sales networks will collapse."
"By then, the loss will be more than a little."
If Chen Yang heard this, he would understand why Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was trying so hard to control all the networks of the Zongzi class.
The basis for the Black Dragon Society's transformation is the need for sufficient supply of materials.
Supplies on the homeland have become so scarce that it is terrifying. In order to keep the war machine running, all supplies are given priority to the military.
At this time, if you want to transform, you must rely on supplies within China.
The Manchuria Railway and the Osaka Chamber of Commerce are their best partners.
Needless to say, all the Japanese Chambers of Commerce in the north and south are the work of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, and the Manchuria Railway is even more powerful.
Since the establishment of the Manchuria Railway Company, the company has built a large number of light industrial facilities in Northeast China, and its production capacity of various materials once exceeded that of Japan.
With the backing of two giants, the Manchurian Railway and the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, this sales network would naturally be profitable.
It can even bring huge benefits compared to simple transportation.
But the premise of all this is the transportation network.
Li Xianshu looked at the New World Plan and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. Whether this plan should be implemented or passed still needs a collective vote."
"Since no one can convince anyone else, let's just follow the old rules."
Everyone present nodded. According to the previous rules, everyone had a vote, either in favor, against, or abstention.
There are a total of twenty-eight seats here, and with Lee Hyun-sook, there are twenty-nine seats in total.
After everyone has filled out the receipts in their hands, they put them into the box.
Ten minutes later, all the votes had been determined, with twelve votes in favor, twelve votes against, and four abstentions.
When Yamamoto Yoshi saw the number of votes, he was very disappointed. He didn't expect that he had won over a large group of people, but still got the same result.
Now there is one last vote, which is the vote held by Li Xianshu representing the president.
Li Xianshu handed the bill in her hand to the assistant beside her. The assistant took the bill and his expression suddenly became incredible.
"Ma'am, I agree..."
