Chapter 359 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot
Unexpected event.
It happened very suddenly.
Toyota's shareholders' meeting has always attracted much attention from Japanese investors.
Many financial reporters gathered at Toyota's headquarters to keep a close eye on the changes at Toyota's shareholders' meeting.
Foreign investment in the country's largest automobile manufacturing industry has created numerous uncertainties: will local conglomerates be able to protect their assets, or will foreign investors profit and exit?
Such a dramatic financial battle is rarely seen.
Unfortunately, the foreign investors left early, failing to create any suspense. The reporters waiting at the entrance, seeing there was no more drama, were packing up to leave.
Who would have thought!
Eiji Toyoda, the true mastermind behind Toyota, was attacked as he left the headquarters building and got into his car.
Wow!
The scene has become chaotic again.
The reporters who had just packed up their equipment were now frantically taking it out again.
Many reporters, in their haste to grab their equipment, dropped their cameras and video cameras on the ground, not caring about the damage, and hurriedly turned them on to capture this crucial moment.
When the ambulance arrived, J had already set up a cordon.
The chaotic scene was immediately reported by reporters on the scene, shocking Japan.
Japanese political figures from all walks of life also immediately stepped forward to condemn the attack as shameful and a challenge to Greater Japan.
According to a reporter from a securities newspaper, Eiji Toyoda's medical treatment was being monitored.
This person appears to have received a lot of plasma and is currently in the operating room receiving emergency treatment.
Despite more than eight hours of resuscitation efforts and the transfusion of 5,000 to 6,000 cc of plasma, he still passed away.
Despite wasting considerable medical resources, they still couldn't save his life.
Who stabbed Eiji Toyoda?
According to official reports from Japan, the perpetrator was approximately one kilometer away. He used a professional sniper weapon with large-caliber bullets to assassinate Eiji Toyoda.
J is doing everything in its power to track down the killer and believes the case will be solved soon, revealing the real reason why Eiji Toyoda was assassinated.
Whether there are other masterminds behind this remains to be investigated.
Before we could even recover from the shock, another piece of news broke that could make us happy or angry.
The infamous Yamaguchi-gumi's acting chairman, Yoshikazu Watanabe, was also killed at close range just before he was about to get into the car.
Including his many henchmen, more than a dozen people died in a gunfight.
According to witnesses, it appeared to be a gang attack, with a dozen or twenty people armed with handguns and submachine guns attacking Watanabe Yoshikata, the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, as he was getting into his vehicle.
According to J-side reports, Watanabe Yoshimi was hit by more than a dozen bullets while turning to the side.
When the ambulance arrived at the scene, Watanabe was found to have no vital signs.
His death was met with applause from those who hated the Yamaguchi-gumi.
However, the Yamaguchi-gumi is a legal social organization in Japan with considerable power. Its leader holds a very high position in society; to put it bluntly, he is an upper-class person.
His death also caused considerable panic in high society.
Fortunately, J determined that Watanabe's death was due to a gang feud.
It was not related to Eiji Toyoda's assassination attempt.
Otherwise, it would cause an even bigger sensation.
Few people know that Eiji Toyoda commissioned Yoshitsugu Watanabe to assassinate Xing Baohua.
After all, Xing Baohua is a celebrity, so the fewer people who know about him, the better.
Conversely, only a few people knew about the retaliation he suffered at the hands of Xing Baohua.
I know it, but I don't dare to say anything. If there is actual evidence to prove that Xing Baohua did it, then I will say it.
If there is no evidence to accuse Xing Baohua of doing this, then the consequences will be severe.
The chairman of the Mitsui Group and Mitsui Fujisaburo knew the whole story from the beginning.
Dare to say it?
Mitsui Tousaburo, in particular, was trembling like a dog in fear.
Zhao Shanhai learned of Eiji Toyoda's birth during a branch office meeting when an internal staff member alerted him to an urgent news event.
All company staff watched the news reports on television.
These employees also understand the importance of today and Toyota, as it involves a multi-billion dollar deal.
As a result, the fate of Toyota's chairman remains unknown.
Many employees felt that the big boss in Hong Kong had gone too far. He'd eliminated the strongest competitor; he was going to take over Toyota!
If even our own employees think this way, what about outsiders?
There is no evidence that Xing Baohua ordered the attack, but he was the biggest beneficiary.
How many capable members does the Toyota family have left? Moreover, Eiji Toyoda was a hardliner who initiated the effort to prevent the Xing Baohua consortium from intervening in the Toyota Group.
This person was using all their strength to stop everything, and everyone at Toyota was watching.
Once Eiji Toyoda kicks the bucket, there will be no obstacle for Xing Baohua to enter Toyota.
Anyone who analyzes the situation would agree that Xing Baohua has played a grand strategy.
Many analysts believe that Xing Baohua intends to integrate Toyota into his car company, using Toyota's technology and distribution channels to help it quickly establish itself and achieve his strategic goals.
But crucially, they failed to find evidence that he killed Eiji Toyoda.
It seems this guy is still in danger; he's been assassinated once or twice already.
However, Xing Baohua's guards averted all danger.
Eiji Toyoda wasn't so lucky. Unlike Xing Baohua, he didn't have adequate protection, and despite the waste of a lot of medical resources, he still couldn't be saved.
This makes the situation seem confusing, and there are all sorts of speculations.
Some analysts suggest that a world-class tycoon did not want Toyota and Xing Baohua's automotive businesses to merge, which is why he took action to eliminate Xing Baohua and Eiji Toyoda.
