Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 889 Purpose of Organization

"Is there anything wrong with that matter?" Kimieto's voice came from the phone.

"The progress of the Nippon Steel case is a bit unexpected," said Shima Miho. "But, there should be no problem in the end. Although the bank's mortgage has been revoked, at least in the subsequent creditors' meeting, the bank's debt ratio will still have an advantage. However, I looked at the other party's lawyer. I was a little surprised."

"Oh--"

"But it's Attorney Kitahara from your law firm." Shima Miho said, "What's going on here?"

"Him." Jiang Teng sneered from the other end of the line. Jiang Teng had never thought that after the battle in Kyoto, Kitahara would still dare to continue the investigation. Moreover, he even got involved in the Nippon Steel incident. This Kitahara was so persistent and unyielding.

"I will naturally deal with him later." Jiang Teng said, "However, he should not be able to cause much trouble in the Nippon Steel case. However, whether the bankruptcy procedure has been initiated and how it is carried out, we just need to ensure that the target's assets are in our hands."

"We will do this, please rest assured," said Shima Miho.

Soon, the phone was hung up.

Shima Miho looked at a huge world map in her office, her eyes fell on it, and examined it in detail.

The assets that Jiang Teng mentioned were the real target of Future Space's strategic investment in Nippon Steel. Nippon Steel belongs to the steel industry, and is a company in this sunset industry with deteriorating operating conditions.

Originally, such an enterprise would not be a strategic investment option.

As for the steel used in aerospace, it is even more nonsense.

There are special materials companies that are far more advanced than Nippon Steel in terms of aerospace steel.

From the perspective of investment rationality, the reason for using steel in aerospace is actually completely invalid.

When Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Terada first approached Future Space, he visited and called Shima Miho many times. If we were to stand in the perspective of Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Terada, he would probably think that he had repeatedly bothered her, and finally attracted such an investment to save Nippon Steel.

But in fact, the strategic investment in Nippon Steel had already been arranged by the organization.

Shima Miho chose to take action not because of the Minister of General Affairs Terada, but because of the organization's plan.

As for what the organization sees in Nippon Steel?
Is it steel production equipment? Factory? Production base land? Actually, none of them.

Shima Miho walked in front of the world map.

The organization was interested in the five mines owned by Nippon Steel around the world. These five mines were not ordinary mines. In the past, Nippon Steel had once started a trend of integrating vertical supply chains, looking for excellent iron ore and coal mines overseas for acquisition. At its peak, Nippon Steel owned about thirty mines of various sizes.

What the organization wants to obtain are five of these mines.

Iron ore and coal are common minerals.

There was nothing noteworthy.

What is really worth noting is that rare earth deposits were found in those five mines. However, Nippon Steel has not yet discovered this. The fact that there are rare earth deposits under the five mines is only known to a very small number of overseas people within Nippon Steel, and these people have been bribed by the organization.

The future is the era of semiconductors.

Currently, electronic chips are evolving rapidly at the speed of Moore's Law.

There are tens of thousands of circuits hidden in a tiny chip.

This is the highest manifestation of human wisdom.

In the semiconductor era, two factors are crucial - the first is chip manufacturing capabilities. The world is not short of talent in chip circuit design. The most critical thing is how to manufacture chips, how to carve these circuits thinner than a hair on a chip that is smaller than a fingernail. This involves too many, too many complex processes.

Taking the photolithography machine as an example, the wavelength and intensity of light, the lenses used for refraction, the developing water, etc. are all very complex processes.

And the second one——

It is the material of various rare metal elements. The craftsmanship of the craftsman is not enough. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. One of the key raw materials of semiconductors is rare earth. The various metal elements in it are all indispensable materials for manufacturing semiconductors.

It can be said that these two are the key elements.

As long as you have one of them, you can dominate the world in the future semiconductor era.

If you master both at the same time, you will be invincible.

After all, the manufacturing technology of lithography machines is difficult to develop at the moment.

However, the mines where rare earths are located are objects that can be actually contested.

In the future, when the demand for semiconductors will explode, the demand for rare earths will inevitably rise to an unprecedented level. Therefore, it can be said that whoever controls rare earths controls half of the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry.

Among the more than 30 mines owned by Nippon Steel -

The minerals located overseas at Monte Osloto are the most important.

The organization that Eto, Eriko, and Shima Miho belong to has learned that there is a large rare earth deposit under Mount Osloto, and it is said that the scale is far beyond imagination. The rare earth deposit under Mount Osloto was discovered by illegal miners by accident, and this information is currently only circulated within the organization and a small number of people.

No one has yet realized the true value of the Osloto Mountain mine owned by Nippon Steel.

Therefore, this is why Future Space wants to participate in the strategic investment in Nippon Steel.

The real purpose of Future Space is to acquire Nippon Steel's Osloto Mountain mineral resources.

The organization wants to seize rare earths.

You know, there have never been many rare earth deposits overseas.

Ownership of rare earth mineral deposits has always been highly competitive.

Overseas, if you own a rare earth deposit, it is basically equivalent to owning a mine that is more valuable than a gold mine, and you will be mining a steady stream of money every day. Not to mention that the scale of rare earths at the bottom of Mount Osloto is much larger than expected. At least according to preliminary estimates, the early investment alone is enough to mine a supply that meets one-fifth of the current annual demand overseas. If the mine is further improved in the future, the production volume will increase significantly.

Who owns this mine?

Whoever owns a money printing machine.

The organization has set its sights on this because of the huge income that can be generated in the future and the importance of rare earth materials. In the organization's blueprint, the future world will be an unstable world. And to realize the grand dream of purifying the world and building a heaven, this mine will be an indispensable goal. If it has it, the status of the organization will be raised to an unprecedented level.

Shima Miho looked at the world map, and her eyes stopped at Mount Osloto.

She must help the organization seize Nippon Steel's Osloto Mountain mine.
