Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 26 Believe, but not completely believe
"President, you can give orders now."

"Okay, then, let's get started!"

Following an order from Masato Takeshita, the workers who had completed the adjustment of the factory equipment began to produce the first batch of trolley suitcases in an orderly manner.

Case, leather, embroidery, zipper, combination lock...

As the process unfolds,

Soon, the first trolley suitcase that could represent the industrial assembly line was born in Matsumoto's manufacturing workshop.

"President, this is the first suitcase."

In order to ensure first-time success, the company put all its backbones into this production, so the first trolley suitcase performed very perfectly.

“Yes, the quality is very good, everyone will definitely like it very much.”

Matsumoto Manufacturing used to make drawstring suitcases and was very skilled in the processing of suitcases. Although the trolley suitcases were innovative, they were essentially not much different from the drawstring suitcases. Therefore, the workers of Matsumoto Manufacturing quickly became familiar with the work and the quality of the products became higher and higher.

Then Takeshita Masato continued to issue new instructions: "Let everyone expand production, don't worry about the backlog of inventory. As long as the current level can be maintained, the suitcases will soon be sold out."

"Also, if there are defective products, those that can be used will be reused, and those that cannot be used will be destroyed directly."

Never test human nature.

If Masato Takeshita allowed everyone to take defective products out of the factory, the factory's yield rate would definitely get lower and lower.

"learn."

Suzuki Zensuke has been working in this industry for more than 40 years, so he naturally understands the truth. Although he was a little surprised that the president understood it so well, he was more pleased.

A powerful president can turn a company into an international giant. In his eyes, Takeshita Masato is a potential stock with such strength.

"By the way, this suitcase and the first generation suitcase I brought to the factory will be preserved. This is a memory that belongs only to our company. We created history with our own hands."

Excellent products are an excellent booster to accelerate the integration of new employees into the company.

Sony likes to use this trick very much, showing its own invention patents to new employees to cultivate their sense of pride and self-confidence.

"Don't worry, I've put the suitcase in the safe."

Although Suzuki Zensuke is the head of the production department, he also has a lot of experience in corporate culture building. The world's first trolley suitcase is naturally worth keeping.

As the suitcases continued to be produced and put into storage, the pressure on Vice President Suzuki and others increased.

They were all afraid that the suitcases would not sell and their business would collapse.

"Don't worry, it will definitely sell, there's no need to worry."

Masato Takeshita was also very nervous, but he was the leader of the company, so he was confident every day and did not show any worry or anxiety.

"I also think it will be successful. The TV stations, advertising companies, and entertainment agencies we work with are even planning to order a batch of suitcases right now."

Daishi Shimizu, head of the marketing department, has been following the filming of the commercials, and has learned how much the entertainment and media industry desires their products.

If it weren't for the president's strict request, he really wanted to sell them a batch.

Relying on skilled workers and brand-new machines, Matsumoto Manufacturing produced 36 trolley suitcases in just 10 days.

"How's the preparation for the advertisement going?"

"According to the plan, it will be broadcast on TV Asahi tonight."

Asahi TV is one of the strongholds of the Japanese left. It likes to tell the truth and often fights against the right-wing forces in the Liberal Democratic Party. Takeshita Masato, a reborn person with a yellow skin and a yellow heart, but this yellow is not the same as that yellow, naturally close to this TV station that acknowledges the various brutal facts of the Japanese army during World War II.

"Great, then the plan to send them to schools and banks can be implemented. The products can be sold tomorrow and no longer need to be hidden."

Masato Takeshita has taken great pains to ensure that Matsumoto Manufacturing has more exclusive time. Although it is easy to make money from patent licensing, it is not as much as making money by eating alone.

"Yes!"

"Wait." Masato Takeshita stopped the number one in the marketing department, Hiroaki Kobayashi, who was about to leave. "We will go directly to Waseda University now, and then go to Industrial Bank in the afternoon."

Masato Takeshita is now just a slightly strong grasshopper, and his strength comes from the power of the Inamon clan and the Industrial Bank.

If he goes to deliver it in person, he can better show his sincerity and not be considered arrogant or rude.

As for why he went to Waseda first, it was of course because he relied more on the Inamon clan.

Needless to say, several seniors from Matsumoto Manufacturing helped him maintain the stability of the company. The support and help from seniors Haneda Ichiro and Uno Kiyuki alone was worth his trip to Waseda University.

If it were a graduate from an ordinary university, let alone exchanging 25% of the shares for a factory with 500 employees, even if it was exchanging for a factory with 50 employees, he would have to agree to a series of additional conditions of the bank.

Because of his identity as a member of Waseda University and the Inamon family, he only saw the warm side of Industrial Bank.

But, this is a bank.

A cold representative who puts up the umbrella when it is sunny and puts it away when it rains.

If he wants Industrial Bank to cooperate honestly, he must always rely on the power of the Daomen clan.

Unless one day, he himself can become the person who stands at the top and makes the rules.

After Waseda received the news, the principal actually came to the school gate to greet them in person.

"headmaster!"

This was a big shot who could reach the sky, but he didn't expect to meet a small follower like him who had just started to make some progress. Takeshita Masato deliberately acted terrified so that he would look more like a student.

"Don't be nervous, we are all from Waseda, just relax."

There are quite a few business tycoons who graduated from Waseda University. Hiroshi Yamauchi of Nintendo, Masaru Ibuka of Sony, Lee Kun-hee of Samsung, etc. are all Waseda students.

But these people either inherited their family business or officially entered the market after graduating from university.

This was the first time he had met an ordinary student who chose to start his own business instead of joining a company in his junior year.

This kind of potential stock, once it grows up, can easily become a giant. So he resolutely bowed and went to the school gate to greet him, showing his utmost sincerity.

At the same time, it also means platform.

This is something we have been protecting for a long time. We don't care about normal business competition, but don't think about using crooked means.

Of course, this oath is mainly addressed to the top leaders.

If you are at the bottom, who cares whether you are from Waseda University or not.

The most typical example is Hiroshi Yamauchi who opened a taxi business. However, he made so much money that it aroused the jealousy of taxi drivers, and he was forced to quit in the end.

Japan is a country where aristocratic families, financial groups, academic cliques and the common people check and balance each other. No one can cover the sky with one hand, and everything needs to be discussed.
