With this tradition, the Kawasaki family has always regarded various antiques, especially precious Chinese antiques, as part of their important property.
Even after the death of Shozo Kawasaki, the activity of collecting Chinese antiques has never stopped.
However, during the war, in order to support the war, the Kawasaki family had to invest a large amount of money in arms manufacturing, and the plan to acquire antiques was temporarily shelved.
After the war, when the Americans occupied Japan, the Japanese economic system collapsed, and people's livelihood was in a mess, the Kawasaki family also restrained themselves.
Although there are a lot of fields in his private property, the food and vegetables grown in these lands are only enough to supply the Kawasaki family.
There is little to spare.
At first, I didn’t even think about exchanging the small amount of food for anything.
After all, no one knows how long this kind of famine will last.
Every bite of food means one less bite.
If you can save it, save it.
In Yu Sheng's large-scale acquisition of antiques in Tokyo and other Japanese cities, it is difficult to hide these Japanese chaebols.
Many people realize that this is a shortcut to leaving comeback capital for future generations.
Therefore, several chaebols contacted the Kawasaki family.
Led by members of the Kawasaki family who had collected Chinese antiques for generations and were extremely experienced, several chaebols worked together to provide food and people.
Taking advantage of the famine years, a large number of purchases were collected among the people. precious items, including antiques.
However, if you want to make a large-scale acquisition, you will have to conflict with Yu Sheng.
At least the team led by Ye Wuguang must be stopped and allowed to retreat for a period of time to facilitate the actions of these plutocrats.
Therefore, it has become normal to stop a car on the way and start a fight.
This is still what these chaebols consider to be the softest method.
Japan's chaebol has a long history.
The Sumitomo Zaibatsu, which originated in the 16th century, once had deep entanglements with the Tokugawa Shogunate.
The Mitsui Zaibatsu originated in the 17th century and began operating money exchange business in the 18th century.
Hundreds of years of financial accumulation have given it a very strong foundation.
Mitsubishi Zaibatsu.
Originated in the 19th century, the transportation business operated by Yataro Iwasaki in Tosa Domain.
Osaka was originally the commercial capital of Japan.
The profits of the transportation industry were extremely high.
It took advantage of the Meiji Restoration and the rapid development of Japan to rise rapidly.
The Yasuda Zaibatsu were originally red-top businessmen during the Meiji Restoration.
When they opened the "Yasudaya" bank in Tokyo in 1863, they had 250,000 taels of gold as operating capital.
These major chaebols all took shape in the early twentieth century. continues into later generations.
In addition to these major chaebols, Japan rose rapidly after the Meiji Restoration and plundered China.
There are a new group of chaebols emerging along with emerging industries, such as Kawasaki, Nissan, Nakajima, Nomura, Asano, Okura, Furukawa, etc.
These chaebols, as the backbone of Japan's economy and the main force in research, development and manufacturing of arms, support Japan's foreign wars.
The orders brought by the war also allowed these chaebols to accumulate wealth at a speed that is difficult for outsiders to estimate.
So, after the war.
If Americans want to dismantle the Japanese military system, the first thing they need to do is to disband these chaebols.
In October 1945, the U.S.
Garrison Command required Japan's fifteen chaebols to submit reports on the basic content and capital structure of their companies' operations.
The report was handed in quickly.
November 1945.
The U.S. military headquarters ordered the assets of these fifteen Japanese chaebols to be frozen.
However, Americans will not understand the secret of Oriental wealth.
In European and American countries, the main wealth of a middle class is the stocks of one or several companies they own.
Real estate or something.

Neither can be considered a major asset.
And in the East, all the plutocrats and aristocratic families.
The main wealth of the middle class, small citizens, and even farmers working in the fields will not be company stocks.
This has been the case since ancient times.
The main wealth in the hands of these people is a large amount of real estate, real estate, farmland, pastures, forest farms, antiques, gold and silver jewelry, and various things that may not seem to be huge profits, but in fact have a stable value and can be passed down from generation to generation.
The same is true for the assets in the hands of these Japanese chaebols.
Although in order to support the war, these chaebols invested a large amount of liquidity into the military-industrial enterprises under their own names.
However, the total value of the real estate retained in his hands is still astonishing.
What's more, these chaebols are actually involved in the formulation of various domestic policies in Japan, including wars and defeat and surrender.
Before the Japanese Emperor announced his surrender, all of these Japanese senior officials knew the news in advance.
After these chaebols knew in advance that Japan was going to be defeated, all the 100 million jade scraps they had prepared for the decisive battle on the mainland were divided up and swallowed up by these chaebols and other senior Japanese family officials.
After the war, there was no trace of the military supplies prepared for the decisive battle on the homeland, and there was no record of their whereabouts.
Disappeared silently.
Therefore, although these chaebols suffered some losses due to Japan's defeat, in fact, their vitality was not damaged at all.
These military supplies were slowly put into the black market in post-war Japan and digested and cashed in without anyone noticing.
It becomes the capital to protect itself later.
And these, after the Americans occupied Japan, since they were not under the accounts of a certain company, they were regarded as the private property of each company and could not be snatched away.
Therefore, although the Americans later implemented dismantling measures such as purges of Japanese chaebol management, forced sales of stocks, and dispersion of stock ownership.
However, most of the shares of these large companies that were dispersed and dismantled were bought by these chaebols.
Therefore, although the Americans removed the Japanese military production system, in fact, the Japanese industrial system, the financial capabilities of the big banks, and the strength of these chaebols themselves did not suffer much loss.
It was saved during the war.
Even in later generations, according to the research of many scholars, the Japanese civilian product production line can be turned into a military production line again with only slight adjustments.
By 1951, after the San Francisco Peace Treaty, Japan's economy resumed development, centered on the banking industry, and Japan's monopoly capital made a comeback.
As Japan's public opinion circles say, it is "the reorganization of the chaebol."
With such influence and strength, it is really easy for these Japanese chaebols to take advantage of the famine and use food to purchase some antiques among the Japanese people.
There is no need to force or use force to suppress people.
Just let the wind go and say that the Kawasaki family wants to exchange grain for antiques.
If there is enough grain, a large number of Japanese will bring their treasures.
Come here proactively.
The Kawasaki family and other joint operations adopted this method after blocking Ye Wuguang's group back.
The results collected in a few days are better than the work that Ye Wuguang led a group of people for half a month.
There are nearly 10,000 items collected from major cities in Japan, many of which are treasures.
After Ye Wuguang and Yu Sheng learned the news that Chen Tian had sent back, they quickly deduced the origin and cause of the incident based on what Yu Sheng knew later and the information at hand.
As for the Kawasaki family, after the people returned one after another, it was not that there was no action at all.
At the same time, most people settled down.
Preparations are being made to move these nearly 10,000 antique treasures collected from various places to a safe place in Tokyo where several chaebols will join forces to protect them.
And while Chen Tian was squatting in a corner and eavesdropping for several days, he basically figured out who the Kawasaki family's allies were.
The only person who can be friends with a lion is probably a tiger.
Or crocodiles and goshawks.
Compared to the several families that cooperated with the Kawasaki family, the Kawasaki family was truly disadvantaged.
It's not that the Kawasaki family's industry or wealth is not as good as other families, but because Kawasaki Shozo had already lost his prestige as the head of the Kawasaki family as early as 1912.
It really cannot be compared with the founders of several other chaebols.
Among these families, the one with the highest status is Ohuchi Masatoshi, who is the eldest son of the lord of Daiki Domain.
Born in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, he later became the stepson of the Viscount Okouchi family of the former Mikawa Yoshida Domain.
Later, he married the daughter of the last feudal lord, Okouchi Shinko.

Due to the excellent genes selected for several generations and the good resource supply since childhood, Japanese men are generally short in stature at this time, which will never be matched by Okawachi Masatoshi.
This person is 1.8 meters tall.
Among the Japanese, he is absolutely outstanding.
When he was in school, he was a classmate of the future Emperor Taisho. 1903.
Okawachi Masatoshi graduated from the Department of Engineering, Tokyo Imperial University, majoring in weapons research, and then stayed at the school as a lecturer.
Later he went to Germany and Austria for further studies and obtained a doctorate in engineering.
After returning to Japan, he taught for a period of time at his alma mater, which was renamed the University of Tokyo.
He is considered a rich and handsome man with excellent knowledge, wealth and appearance.
Simply a winner in life.
In this era, mastering the most advanced knowledge is equivalent to mastering the door to wealth.
In 1927, Masatoshi Okawachi established the Physical Chemistry Promotion Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Become Japan's emerging chaebol.
Because of his profound knowledge in physics, he was one of the leaders of Japan's atomic bomb research program during World War II.
Although this person is a Japanese aristocrat, a successful scholar and entrepreneur, and has not caused direct harm to China or other countries invaded by Japan, his influence in Japan and the impact on the Japanese military industry Strength makes all the difference.
Today, Masatoshi Ohuchi has heard calls to classify him as a Class A war criminal.
Not knowing what his future fate would be, he began to plan for his descendants, and this antique horse collected at a low price was part of it.
Of course, the title of Class A war criminal is actually not that accurate.
The classification of war criminals into three levels: A, B, and C is a customary term that is only used in academic research and news reports.
In fact, there is no precise basis for classifying war criminals.
In no official international document, the term "Class A war criminal" is mentioned.
In the London Agreement and the Charter of the International Military Tribunal signed by Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union on August 8, 1945, the term "major war criminal" was used to describe war criminals.
On January 9, 1946, the Allied High Command in Tokyo promulgated the notice establishing the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and the charter of the tribunal, which also used the words "fair and expeditious trial and punishment of major war criminals in the Far East." words.
In the news reports at this time, in order to allow the audience to quickly distinguish the importance of war criminals, according to the "Chapter A" crimes stipulated in the Nuremberg and Tokyo Charters, crimes against peace, that is, planning, preparation, launching or implementation of aggressive wars crimes, these "major war criminals" became "Class A war criminals."
These people hold high positions and can control at least a certain industry or field in their country.
Only in this way can a certain policy be formulated.
Most of the Class B and Class C war criminals who are different from them committed ordinary war crimes or crimes against humanity.
It belongs to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who actually execute something.
In addition to Ohuchi Masatoshi, the heads of the other two chaebols are also Class-A war criminals.
One is Nakajima Chikuhei, and the other is Ayukawa Gisuke.
Chikuhei Nakajima controls half of Japan's aircraft manufacturing industry, is on an equal footing with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and has a relationship of both friends and enemies with the Kawasaki family.
In 1917, after Chikuhei Nakajima founded the first private aircraft company in Japan, "Nakajima Aircraft Company", Chikuhei Nakajima's net worth began to skyrocket, and in more than ten years, he became a wealthy chaebol.
The aircraft designed by Nakajima Company were widely used by the Japanese Air Force.
Although the aircraft he designed are not as famous as the Zero, the Type 97 fighter jet and the Swallowing Dragon bomber are both famous.
These two were the main models used during Japan's invasion of China.
Ayukawa Yoshisuke is the founder of Nissan Motor and Fuji Zaibatsu and the founder of Japanese venture capital.
Although his position relies on nepotism, his mother is the niece of Inoue Kaoru, a hero of the Meiji Restoration, and his wife, Mihi, is the daughter of Takashimaya President Tojiro Iida.
His sister-in-law is married to Hibiya Yuzo, the director of Hibiya Bank, and his younger brother is adopted by Taro Fujita of the Fujita Cooperative is the adopted son, and his sister is married to Hisamita Motomura, the president of Mitsubishi.
Of the three younger sisters, one is married to Taiichi Kashima of Kaijima Co-Mei Co., Ltd., one is married to Shinichi Kondo, the president of Nippon Securities Holdings, and the other is married to Kuhara Fusanosuke, the leader of the famous Kuhara Zaibatsu.
But he himself is indeed talented.
He once lived incognito and secretly learned technology in American factories.
Even after he founded his own company, he planned to learn various technologies from the United States, the Soviet Union, Italy and Germany.
Back then, before the Japanese occupation was over, it was Ayukawa Yoshisuke who controlled the heavy industry in Northeast China.
What he left behind after the defeat of the Japanese became almost the only heavy industry system in China.
After several days of snooping and listening, Chen Tian not only found out the details of his opponent, but also found out the time, method and storage location of these chaebols in preparing to collect antiques.
Even Chen Tian drew a copy of the transportation route map
