One weekend in October, as the weather cooled down, kodama's family was hosting a family gathering.
The eldest son, Kodama Kazususaku, is helping his father, Kodama Sadajiro, to set up the fire outside the door so that he can cook food, and the younger son, Kodama Toshizaburo, accompanies his mother in the living room to greet the Toyota family.
Family friends, the younger generations have known each other since childhood
The owner of the Toyota family, Sakichi Toyoda, is very busy, his mother Asako brings a son and a daughter to visit, the brothers and sisters have a good relationship, and the reason for their half-brotherhood gives them a completely different personality.
The eldest son, Kiichiro Toyoda, is a bear child without compromise, while Asako's own daughter, Aiko, is a quiet and cute little girl.
Their visit is also a normal thing for the Kodama family, and the adults at the dinner table have a good conversation, "Heheha".
"Bow down to yourself and blame others", the Kodama family heirloom
Above the living room, inside the frame hung a somewhat damaged calligraphy character of "bowing down to oneself and being thin to blame others". This character is a family heirloom of the Kodama family, which is said to have come from the hand of a famous calligrapher and was brought back from China in the early years.
But to talk about this word, Asako should blame herself again, because that little damage was broken by Kiichiro about a year ago, and that's when the Kodama family put this calligraphy frame inside the frame.
Kodama Sadajiro, who knows this well, never points to this word, but more about what the children encounter at school.
The younger son Kodama Toisaburo was bullied by his bully classmates, and his brother Kodama Kazuzo forcibly instilled the family training "self-respecting and thinly blamed others" into his bully, making him abandon evil and follow good things, anyway, the two families always have endless words.
What's going on with such a whole bunch of cars? Door-to-door son-in-law! Today I talk about Toyota's door-to-door son-in-law.
Toshizaburō grew up and wanted to marry the Toyota family
The kind of gathering just mentioned will be held once not long, and slowly, the children are out of school, and the frequency will drop.
Within a few years, the child grew up, and the eldest brother, Yuichizo, looked at his adult brother, Kodama Toshizaburo, "It's time to find a suitable home for him", @ Lannister.
After visiting the family, they still found their childhood playmates, the Toyota family.
Not willing to hold the pearl in the palm, Toyota's family put forward a request for entry
Aiko, the daughter of the Toyota family, is already 16 years old, and her appearance can be said to be a country that has fallen into the city, and she is originally a family lineage that is not worried about marriage.
The father loved her very much and was reluctant to marry his daughter, so he put forward a request to the Kodama family, "If the blind date is successful, the premise of marriage is to let Toshizaburō join our Toyota family, Aiko will never marry outside, and our family will have debts to repay." ”
This condition is more harsh for Kodama Toshizaburo, his surname has to be changed, and he has come to the door to his son-in-law, but his family still arranges a blind date for him.
Love at first sight, childhood playmates tie the knot
Unexpectedly, Li Sanlang, who returned from a blind date, actually threatened, "Even if I am in trouble, I will marry my son and become a husband and wife, in the course of my life of Lisaburo's study, there is no girl who can make me so moved." ”
Li Saburo thinks so, for the two families who have made good friends in the previous generation, it may be the best result. The door is right, the roots are known, the parents meet and talk, hold the wedding, and do it in one go.
Because it was a bonus, Kodama Toshizaburo also changed his surname to Toyota, lived in Toyota's home, and became Toyoda Toshizaburo, everything is wonderful and peaceful.
The housekeeper Justice appears, and Toshisaburo notices that there is something wrong with his wife
A few days after the marriage, it was another weekend, and on this day dinner was for the adults to eat together, arranged in the restaurant on the first floor.
Toshizaburo deliberately returned home from work early, planning to go back to the room to change into clean clothes and then go downstairs to eat, but when he arrived at the room, Aiko did not wait for herself in the room like the previous few days.
Lisaburo didn't care, people weren't there, they weren't there, they took a shower, they changed their clothes, and they left the room with their own care.
But just after going out, he was pulled aside by Uncle Sato, the old housekeeper of the Toyota family.
"Risaburo, come here. The Toyota family has always been very good to me, but I really can't look at it today. Aiko and Grand Young Master Kiichiro, they are now again, ah, oh, oh, oh! ”
Although Lisaburo has been honest since childhood, he is also not familiar with the world, but hearing Uncle Sato's words seems to know something, and he seems to be a little anxious.
The banquet downstairs was about to begin, and as a son-in-law, he could not lose his temper at the banquet, so he told Uncle Sato, "Or after dinner, slowly speak", "Chop chop" first, go to the banquet.
Sure enough, not long after taking a seat, the eldest brother, Kiichiro Toyoda, appeared in the restaurant with Aiko. Toshizaburō beckoned Aiko to sit next to him, usually "hey hey haha" talking and laughing, and quietly finished eating this bowl of rice.
Toshizaburō understands what happened
After eating, he made an excuse to leave the restaurant and went to find Uncle Sato again.
Uncle Sato said that there was no deviation from his own understanding, and the relationship between Kiichiro and Aiko was a bit like what he had seen as a child, more intimate, and even a little beyond the relationship between brothers and sisters.
Until Kiichiro went out to study, it was still a constant correspondence. Aiko, both before and after marriage, often goes in and out of Kiichiro's bedroom.
Good thing the two of them don't have blond hair, @Lannister.
Li Saburo did not say a word when he listened to Sato's words, and smoked the cigarette in his hand one after another, until he finished smoking, and he could not stop his tears.
Under the fence, the son-in-law of the door is bitter
Although she finished smoking at night and cried and dried her tears, when the sun rose the next day, Aiko was still a beautiful Aiko, and Risaburo still loved her Toshisaburo.
As the door-to-door son-in-law of the Toyota family, Li Saburo is also the beloved son of a glance, and at this time, he can only say nothing.
I went out to work very early and came home very late, afraid of seeing things that I shouldn't have seen, and I was afraid that I would be suddenly pushed from the window of the castle to the bottom and break my leg.
At this time, Toyoda Toshizaburo almost all of himself contributed to Toyota's loom company, worked day and night, and his position slowly improved a little, with family relations and his own efforts, the position is getting higher and higher.
The back wave pushed the front wave, and Sakito Toyoda was critically ill
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, the descendants slowly carry the company's banner, and the predecessors are also time to slowly abdicate.
The founder of toyota automatic weaving mechanism, toshizaburō's father-in-law, Toyoda Sakiyoshi, also has an old age, and when he started a business, he became ill with hard work, saying that he could not control it.
The hospital's critical illness notice "snapped" and came to the house, and the family, whether working in the factory or doing housework at home, rushed to Sakichi's bedside and waited for Sakichi Toyoda's deathbed instructions.
At the time of death, leave a car to build a car
The first person to be called to the front was naturally the eldest son, Kiichiro. Zoggi on the hospital bed, not in very good shape, has a very light voice.
"Son, it doesn't matter who dies in our family, but the business still has to be done, the family business can't die, if you want to build a car, go build it, the shares are all divided for you, it won't be less than yours, and ..."
He moved his fingers and cocked off.
Looking in this direction, where his fingers pointed was a black bag on the bedside table, and the family members showed doubtful eyes.
"Oh," he said, "Son, this is the $1 million I got from selling my patent." Take it to build a car, industry for the sake of it, don't let me down. ”
Kiichiro at the bed nodded his head and didn't make a sound.
Before the instructions were finished, the old father-in-law's last words became a mystery
After the explanation was completed, perhaps anticipating that he would not have much time, Sakichi hurriedly called his son-in-law Risaburo to come over. Hearing his father-in-law call his name, "Chop Chop" rushed over.
As soon as Sakichi opened his mouth to see Lisaburo, Sakichi was still a little proud, and the corners of his mouth rose a little: "Sanro, after I leave, this Toyota family property can be entrusted to you, but you must help, help, help, uh...".
How could this breath not be picked up, and Zoji really couldn't open his mouth again and cocked.
It can be said that it is very unreliable, the last words are half said and then left, the second half of the sentence was originally intended to tell Li Sanlang, "You take more resources in your hand to help Kiichiro build a car", right?
On this point, this sentence was stunned and did not say it, and it returned to the west.
The half-cut last words led to a commercial upheaval
At this time, Risaburo was full of question marks: "Huh? Why did this father-in-law give me all the family property on his deathbed? I have long understood the relationship between Aiko and Kiichiro, and want to make up for the Toyota family's debt to me? ”
"Or is it a recognition of my ability to work?" Or is it because my mother's eldest brother Yu Yizao has a good relationship with the Toyota family? Ha? Or is it that the eldest brother of the in-laws, Kiichiro, is not his own child, and my father-in-law wants me to inherit the incense of the Toyota family? ”
In the face of his father-in-law, whose words stopped abruptly, Li Sanlang could not take care of much, and it was over to cry with everyone, cry, anyway, it was right to cry at this time.
After crying, the company had to continue to operate, but the power fell into the hands of his son-in-law, Risaburo.
Faced with the betrayal of Aiko and Kiichiro, where will Toshizaburo go? Can Kiichiro's dream of building a car still go smoothly? Where will Toyota's commercial giant ship go?
