00:00This is the house where the exterior wall is being painted.
00:05Today's main subject is the paint that the craftsman is working on.
00:12To maintain the quality of the exterior wall, he says he has to be particular about the paint.
00:17The roller is easy to roll, and the paint doesn't bounce around, so it's easy to paint.
00:26As you can see, the house has been refurbished with the power of paint.
00:38Nippe stands for Nippon Paint.
00:43Nippe is one of the largest paint manufacturers in Japan, and not only houses are being used.
00:50Nippe paints are sold in cars, ships, airports, and construction sites.
01:02The group's sales exceeded 1.4 trillion yen in 2023.
01:08This man, who took part in an online meeting, is in charge of the 1 trillion yen company.
01:15President Yuichiro Wakatsuki of Nippon Paint Holdings.
01:22Wakatsuki has been the president for only three years, and has established a partnership with 32 companies.
01:29And the sales have grown by 1.9 times.
01:35The share of the paint industry is not only in Japan, but also in Asia, and is No. 1 and No. 4 in the world.
01:44Wakatsuki got a job at a bank after graduating from university.
01:48There he met M&A, who changed his life.
01:52I wanted to make my own paint.
01:58How is the development of paint being done?
02:03The camera was installed in the factory, where it was first shown on TV.
02:07It's hot.
02:13Let's eat breakfast together.
02:16Challenge a professional technique.
02:24Who will win?
02:27Wait a minute.
02:29This is a good game between me and the president.
02:32No.
02:37How is the president's ability?
02:40Paint is a growing industry.
02:43As the population increases, the number of places to paint increases.
02:47The latest technology applied to paint is used in an unexpected place.
02:55The success story of Keeperson, the leader of Kansai.
03:01Let's meet the leader of this time.
03:03President of NIPPON PAINT, Yuichiro Wakatsuki.
03:07Please come in.
03:13You are very tall.
03:16How tall are you?
03:18I'm 188 cm.
03:21What do you eat to be so tall?
03:24I sleep well.
03:26That's the same as SHOUHEI OTANI.
03:29I can't compare.
03:30I'm sorry, I don't know much about you.
03:34I think I've seen your company name somewhere.
03:39I thought it was a very traditional company.
03:43I thought the president would come.
03:47I was surprised to see you.
03:50I can smell the president.
03:54The president has changed a lot.
03:58There are two representatives.
04:03Where are you from?
04:06I'm from Singapore.
04:08It's rare to have a president.
04:12President of NIPPON PAINT HOLDINGS.
04:16President Wakatsuki is in charge of financial management and management.
04:19President of NIPPON PAINT HOLDINGS is in charge of research, development, manufacturing, and sales.
04:27Don't you argue when deciding on something important?
04:34Surprisingly, we don't.
04:36We respect each other.
04:39I respect his experience.
04:41He also respects my background.
04:44By communicating with each other, we don't argue.
04:49That's a difficult thing.
04:52There are two leaders, but they don't argue.
04:57NIPPON PAINT was born as the first paint maker in Japan.
05:02Let's meet the history and the success of President Wakatsuki.
05:07The history of NIPPON PAINT dates back to the early Meiji era.
05:10NIPPON PAINT was founded by Jujiro Noteki, the founder of NIPPON PAINT.
05:15He was a freshman at Tokyo University.
05:18He was a freshman at Tokyo University.
05:24One day, his brother Haruta asked him for advice.
05:30Hey, Jujiro.
05:32This is a castle used for cosmetics.
05:35But it's a castle.
05:37Do you know that there are many people suffering from lead poisoning?
05:45I know.
05:47Lead poisoning.
05:49Kabuki actors get sick.
05:52It's a social problem.
05:54I heard there is a poisonous castle in the west.
06:00Jujiro.
06:02Can you make it?
06:06Jujiro began his research.
06:10He repeated the trial and error.
06:14In 1879, NIPPON PAINT was the first to make Aenka.
06:21It completed the poisonous castle.
06:25While the western architecture was being built by the cultural revolution,
06:30he noticed that there was only imported paint.
06:32He wanted to make paint.
06:34I want to make paint that is as good as the western paint.
06:40The following year, he succeeded in the domesticization of Western paint for the first time in Japan.
06:46In 1881, he founded KOMYOSHA, a joint venture with NIPPON PAINT.
06:54KOMYOSHA started as an exclusive paint factory for the navy.
07:00In 1898, it became a joint venture with NIPPON PAINT.
07:07In 1905, he built Osaka Factory where the head office is now.
07:13He succeeded in the domesticization of paint for the first time on the bottom of the ship.
07:18He led the paint market in Japan.
07:22However, Osaka Factory burned down in the Pacific War.
07:26The amount of production decreased and it fell to the 5th place in Japan.
07:32After that, the demand for paint increased and the sales increased.
07:39As a result, the expansion of Asia was accelerated.
07:43The leader of this time, Yuichiro Wakatsuki, was born in 1966.
07:53Wakatsuki was born in the United States.
07:57He went to a local elementary school until the 4th grade of elementary school.
08:01Once, he returned home with his family.
08:04My family moved to New York when I was in the first year of high school.
08:10I was the only one left.
08:12I was about to lose my way, but I managed to stop.
08:20Wakatsuki was a young man who was left in Japan.
08:23In high school, he was busy with band activities.
08:27Today's live was the best.
08:30Let's have a toast.
08:33Sounds good.
08:35Cheers!
08:37He talked to his friends every night.
08:41His study became sloppy and his grades suddenly declined.
08:46I haven't studied at all.
08:50I want to go to college.
08:53However, he entered Tokyo University.
08:56He joined the ESS circle, which is an English-language club.
09:01He decided to go back to Japan.
09:03At the end of the first year, he became a director.
09:06People who want to do an English-language play and people who want to debate in English are completely different races.
09:16There is an English-language section.
09:18I learned how to put them together.
09:25ESS is an English-language play, right?
09:29Let's put more effort into the play.
09:31What are you talking about?
09:32The best part of English is speech, right?
09:35Debating is the best part of ESS.
09:37No, English-language play!
09:39No, debate!
09:42Well, well, well.
09:44We are all friends.
09:46You don't have to be so bitter.
09:48Let's do it better.
09:50Oh, right.
09:52Although he is poor, he has a strong desire to debate.
09:56He faces a lot of problems.
09:58What do you think of the play, which is about him getting out of a pinch and getting better?
10:03Let's think about the lines of the main character together.
10:07What do you think?
10:09What kind of crazy idea is that?
10:12I got it. We respect what we want to do.
10:16Such adjustments will be useful in his life.
10:21After graduating from university, he joined the Japanese Industrial Bank.
10:28After getting a job, he was assigned to handle the company's M&A.
10:35When he was studying in the U.S., he was in charge of the M&A of a car parts company.
10:42Our company is out of stock recently.
10:46Mr. Banker, can you do something about it?
10:49This company has a great potential.
10:52This company is asking to join us.
10:56What do you think?
10:58It would be great if a company with the same technology as our company joins our company.
11:06Even if I ask you to buy our company at three times the current stock price, will you buy our company?
11:12Of course.
11:15Even so, our company is happy.
11:18It's decided.
11:22It's decided like this.
11:24M&A is not just about winning.
11:27M&A is a good business where we can win each other.
11:32I'm glad that I can buy what I want to buy.
11:36I'm glad that I can sell what I want to sell at such a high price.
11:39Moreover, I can get a good salary.
11:42I realized that this is a good business.
11:45I want to make it my own business.
11:49Wakatsuki, who discovered the social significance of M&A,
11:53moved to a foreign investment bank called Schroeder Insurance and Merrill Lynch Japan Insurance.
11:59He took part in the M&A project with Nippon Paint in 2019.
12:04After that, he was consulted by Chairman Masaaki Tanaka at that time.
12:10He was invited to join Nippon Paint.
12:14As a responsible person for finance, he pushed 100% of Asia's M&A business.
12:21In April 2021, he was appointed as the co-president.
12:27At that time, Mr. Nakamura of the board of directors said,
12:32I have my own value range.
12:35I can't shake it.
12:37There is a word called self-control.
12:40It's self-regulation.
12:41When something unexpected happens in front of you,
12:45how do you control yourself?
12:48In the case of Mr. Wakatsuki, I think he is very good.
12:53The only mission in the management is to maximize the shareholder value.
12:59After the president's inauguration, 32 M&A businesses were established in 3 years.
13:04As a result, in 2023,
13:06the sales volume of the group exceeded 1.4 trillion yen.
13:11Reporter Fujiu from Nippon Keizai Newspaper said,
13:16I have a strong will to double the value to maximize it.
13:21Especially, there are many cases where overseas M&A doesn't succeed.
13:27In the future, it will be a great phenomenon.
13:31I think that the fact that the M&A is established
13:36and the company grows more than when it was a single entity
13:41is a characteristic.
13:44MSV, maximize shareholder value.
13:48I think that the value of shareholders will increase.
13:53I think that the value of shareholders will increase.
13:57I think that the value of shareholders will increase.
14:02Can you explain it to me and Mr. Manabe,
14:05who is an amateur of management?
14:09This is a management mission.
14:13What do we put at the core when we make a management decision?
14:17The maximum value of shareholders is
14:20that shareholders are the most important.
14:23But shareholders are actually the lowest.
14:25Customers, material manufacturers,
14:29employees, financial institutions,
14:32the government, taxes.
14:35Let's fulfill all these responsibilities.
14:38Responsibilities are legal,
14:41but they are also social and ethical.
14:44Even if you cut people and increase profits,
14:47it doesn't fulfill social and ethical responsibilities.
14:50So, we need to fulfill these responsibilities
14:54and maximize the value of shareholders.
14:58I think this is the way to do it.
15:02I think we should do it with the growth of the current business,
15:06the normal growth, and the M&A.
15:10This is my idea.
15:12You're the only one who has a management policy.
15:15Don't you have other policies?
15:17In a sense, it's about abandoning evil thoughts.
15:20It's about the ego of management.
15:23For example, you want to be the best company in the world.
15:27I don't think it's wrong to want to be the best company in the world.
15:30But in order to be the best company in the world,
15:33if you buy a lot of things,
15:36you may be the best in the world for a while,
15:39but you can destroy the value of shareholders.
15:42The goal is to maximize the value of shareholders.
15:44So, M&A is a way to do that.
15:47But if you make a mission to be the best company in the world,
15:52I don't mean to deny such a company,
15:55but I think the purpose and means may be reversed.
16:00That's what we discuss in the Toshima Association.
16:03Is it called adjustability?
16:06I wonder if that's what they originally had.
16:10I wonder how they built it.
16:12When you talked about the direction of ESS,
16:15was it like that?
16:17No, it's not like that.
16:19But you're trying to put it all together.
16:22In a sense, it's about taking it in the same direction.
16:26Let's talk about it until we both agree that it's not good to be distorted.
16:32I think it's a great idea to think about how to create a sense of satisfaction.
16:38In the first place, how did you get into Tokyo University?
16:44It's western rock.
16:47Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.
16:49That's a lot of work.
16:51I can speak a little English when I go back to Japan,
16:55so I'm going to have a little bit of an atmosphere.
16:58If you're in a band when you're in high school,
17:01you're going to lose your grades.
17:04But you're in Tokyo University.
17:06When did you start studying?
17:09Where did you study?
17:11I was in a band until April of the third year of high school,
17:14and that's when I finished, and I started studying.
17:17It was tough until autumn,
17:20but from autumn to winter, I took the mid-term exam in March,
17:23and I suddenly felt like I was getting better.
17:26I'm saying that God has come down,
17:29but he really came down.
17:3132 M&A in 3 years.
17:34Won't it fail?
17:36Have you ever had a case where it didn't go well?
17:41First of all, even if it's 32 M&A,
17:44there are quite large and small ones,
17:47so if it's small, it's not that big of a risk.
17:50But basically,
17:52I don't buy a target like Bakuchiuchi,
17:55so it's a company that I can see,
17:57so it didn't grow as much as I thought it would.
18:00But even so,
18:02it's a company that gives me energy.
18:05In that sense,
18:07I think the probability of success is quite high.
18:10I see.
18:12Sales are growing rapidly,
18:14but what is your future goal?
18:16Sales are rising.
18:18This rapid growth.
18:20It's the same as Wakatsuki-san's result in the autumn and winter mock exam.
18:24It means that I will grow so rapidly
18:27that I will go to the last place in the Tokyo University Department of Science and Technology.
18:30It's this style.
18:31It's this style.
18:33I'm going to go higher and higher.
18:36From now on?
18:38My goal is not to pass the Tokyo University.
18:41I want to go higher and higher.
18:43I want to aim for infinity.
18:45A research facility in Hirakata City.
18:48When you enter,
18:50there is a familiar machine.
18:53Here,
18:55paint for automobiles is being developed.
19:02The color of Matsuda, a major automaker,
19:05is also made by Nippon Paint Group.
19:08I asked Mr. Tsujioka, one of the paint developers.
19:14From here,
19:16along the press line,
19:18where it gets dark,
19:20you can clearly see the shade of the color.
19:22As expected, he is the developer of the Asia's No.1 paint maker.
19:26His love for paint is overflowing.
19:28Here, it is designed to give a three-dimensional effect.
19:32The presentation is very hot.
19:35It's wonderful.
19:37That's the color.
19:39He is particular about not only the color,
19:42but also the two samples displayed under the spotlight.
19:46The left is a normal paint,
19:49but the right is painted with a special paint.
19:54Let's measure the temperature.
19:5649.6 degrees Celsius.
19:58What about the special paint?
20:0045.4 degrees Celsius.
20:03The paint was painted with heat-resistant paint.
20:06The surface temperature was about 4 degrees below zero.
20:10It is actually painted on automobiles,
20:14so it reduces the heat from the outside of the automobiles.
20:20Next, we visited a factory in Takahama City, Aichi Prefecture.
20:26It is said that paint for automobiles is made there.
20:30After this, the camera entered the paint factory for the first time on TV.
20:34After 70 seconds, we found something surprising.
20:51A paint factory in Takahama City, Aichi Prefecture.
20:56We were guided to the production site where the paint was released for the first time on TV.
21:04A large silver pot was lined up.
21:10About 5 tons of paint was mixed inside.
21:18We were curious about one thing when we were covering the factory.
21:22When we asked about the paint factory,
21:25it seemed that the floor and walls were colored,
21:29but they were not dirty at all.
21:32The floor is very clean as you can see.
21:35If you look at the corner, you can see that it is R-processed,
21:40so it is a salt that does not accumulate garbage easily.
21:46The contact between the wall and the floor is not a right angle,
21:49but a round curve, so it is a device that does not accumulate garbage easily.
21:55It is said that it protects the quality by keeping the factory clean.
22:01The round part is not only the building.
22:04This is a drum can for painting.
22:07If you look closely at what was cut in half,
22:12the seams on the bottom and sides are smooth.
22:16Why is that?
22:19Because the bottom is flat,
22:22it is a drum that is very clean.
22:26In fact, drum cans for painting are repeatedly reused.
22:31In order to maintain the quality of the paint,
22:34it is necessary to clean the inside of the drum can.
22:39Each of these particularities leads to the success of M&A,
22:43and M&A may lead to the maximum shareholder value.
22:52There was not a single stain on the paint.
22:56On the contrary, we are relieved that there are some stains on the paint.
23:00Quality and cleanliness are closely related,
23:04so we are particular about it.
23:07I think this is our strength.
23:10Mr. Akatsuki, do you like cleanliness?
23:13Yes, I do.
23:15Your office is clean, isn't it?
23:18How about your home?
23:20It is messy.
23:22It is hard to tell the quality from the customer's point of view.
23:27For example, you can't tell how durable the paint is
23:31even after decades of use.
23:34How do you know the value of the paint?
23:37How do you know the value of the paint?
23:40The paint film is 0.1 mm thick.
23:44As you said, it is hard to tell the quality from the customer's point of view.
23:48It is hard to tell the quality from the customer's point of view.
23:52We conduct various tests.
23:55We use gravel to test the quality of the paint.
23:59We use gravel to test the quality of the paint.
24:02We use a special inspection device.
24:04We conduct various tests.
24:07All the paints have to be suitable for the test.
24:12It is good to make various new colors,
24:16but it is hard to make them durable.
24:20You make the temperature low.
24:23I think it is amazing.
24:25It is professional to make the color and function durable.
24:30If the surface temperature is low,
24:32you can use less air conditioner,
24:35you can use less fuel,
24:38and you can use less carbon.
24:41If you go that far,
24:44you can be environmentally friendly.
24:47Even in a snowy country,
24:50you have to endure the heat.
24:53You need to be versatile.
24:56Next, we visited a factory in Shikita-ku, Osaka.
25:02This is our breakfast service station.
25:09There are a lot of paint bottles on the walls and shelves.
25:13Next to the employees who work in the office,
25:16there are samples of paint for the house.
25:20What are these two doing?
25:23They are trying on the colors they received as orders.
25:28In this factory,
25:30they make about 500 colors a day and ship them.
25:35In the paint industry,
25:37they use 600 colors that can be reproduced with paint as a color sample.
25:41Out of these 600 colors,
25:44they can make any color they want.
25:47But...
25:49Can I ask for this color?
25:52Yes, half of the powder meat.
25:57They mix the paint without hesitation and make fine adjustments.
26:09It only takes one and a half minutes from the order.
26:16It's the perfect color.
26:19Just like what I did just now,
26:21using my intuition and knowledge
26:24will take a few years.
26:33The Nippon Paint Group is conducting their own breakfast test
26:38to improve their expertise in color.
26:42If they pass, they will be certified as a breakfast expert,
26:46but the chance of passing is less than 50%.
26:49As a paint manufacturer,
26:52they are very particular about colors and have a lot of pride.
26:57Because of their professionalism,
27:00the employees are curious about the colors in their daily lives.
27:04When I think,
27:06this car's color is cool,
27:08I wonder how I can reproduce this color with the original color we use.
27:12For example, if I use a color like navy,
27:14I wonder if green, blue, and red will work.
27:19I think about that.
27:21When I was repainting the exterior wall,
27:24I saw the color number,
27:27and I thought,
27:29this is the color.
27:34It's sudden, but here's a quiz.
27:37Manabe from the studio.
27:39The Nippon Paint employees are curious about the colors in their daily lives.
27:45One of the employees has failed.
27:50What is it?
27:52Please answer in 10 seconds.
27:55It wasn't bad.
27:57What is the color failure?
28:04I don't know.
28:05I was too curious about the colors.
28:08I was too curious.
28:10I repainted the wall of someone's house.
28:14What is the answer?
28:16When I make a poster for my children's summer homework,
28:21I'm particular about colors.
28:24When I mix red and white, I get pink.
28:27I think I should add more colors to it.
28:30That's what I think.
28:35But I don't like it.
28:38The answer was,
28:40when I make a poster for my children's homework.
28:43It's a color obsession.
28:47The paint used in houses was made in this area.
28:52Since the manufacturing process is complicated,
28:55the mixing of colors is mechanized
28:58so that the specified amount is automatically injected.
29:02But the final stage of the manufacturing line.
29:05There is an employee next to the paint.
29:10Actually, Nippon Paint checks the color of all products
29:14with the eyes of the person right before shipping.
29:19There are some parts that are beyond the expectations of the machine
29:23and some parts that are done by people,
29:26so we check them including the final check.
29:29I think the manufacturing industry is good at manufacturing,
29:32but I think the service industry is also a big part of it.
29:37After ensuring safety and quality,
29:41we try to deliver our products to our customers as soon as possible
29:46with professionalism every day.
29:51The machine and the eyes of the person are both important.
29:54I think that's right.
29:56People who know how to use machines
30:00have to have the ability to do so.
30:03The world is not yet a place where you can ask for a perfect machine.
30:07There are also people who make decorative paper.
30:15We are a group of professionals who handle such colors.
30:21We are very proud of that.
30:24We will have a battle here.
30:27It's a breakfast Viking battle.
30:30There are 10 colors of paint on the desk.
30:33In 3 minutes, use 4 colors from 10 colors to reproduce a certain color.
30:39The professional judges and announces the ranking from 1st to 4th.
30:44It's tough.
30:46Depending on the barrier, the value of the owner may be reduced.
30:50That's all.
30:52This is the color that will be made.
30:55Is there a hint?
30:57One of the four colors may be a color that people don't think of.
31:04There are various combinations.
31:08It depends on your taste.
31:11So there is not one answer?
31:13No.
31:15It's not over just because you chose the wrong four colors.
31:17This is your first experience, right?
31:22He is the president, but this is the first time.
31:25Let's see the president's ability.
31:28Let's see the president's ability.
31:32Let's start the breakfast.
31:36What should I do?
31:38There are only 3 minutes.
31:40I think I will definitely use this.
31:44The green is this green.
31:45This is green.
31:47This is mustard.
31:49This is a completely different color.
31:51This is a good feeling.
31:54What should I do?
31:56I think I need a little more of that color.
31:59This is a completely different color.
32:01AKATSUKI said it was a terrible color.
32:05This is a completely different color.
32:07This is a completely different color.
32:09Wait a minute.
32:11I don't know the amount.
32:12It's getting farther and farther.
32:15If you think it's close, you should actually paint it.
32:18The color will change a little.
32:20This is a little different.
32:22This is difficult.
32:24It's getting closer.
32:26This is close.
32:28Can I go to the fifth color?
32:30This doesn't shine.
32:33I'm losing my vitality.
32:37In the end, it will turn black.
32:40This is different.
32:42Wait a minute.
32:44AKATSUKI said he would use an unexpected color.
32:47I will use an unexpected color.
32:4915 seconds left.
32:51This may be close.
32:57This is no good.
33:01This is a good game between me and the president.
33:04This is no good.
33:05This is no good.
33:09This is difficult.
33:11As you can see, the four of them made different colors.
33:14All the paints they chose were different.
33:17What is the ranking of the professionals?
33:21I'm a little worried about the fourth place.
33:26If I were to say it without hesitation.
33:30What is the fourth place?
33:32If I were to say it without hesitation.
33:35What is the fourth place?
33:37It's TSUZUHAWA.
33:39The reason is that AKATSUKI is easy to match from here.
33:45The color is white.
33:48If you add white to make it green and clean, it's easy to go back.
33:53I can't go back.
33:5715 seconds left.
34:00The rest are MANABE and KADOKURA.
34:04The first place goes to...
34:09MANABE.
34:13I'm very happy.
34:16I thought I did my best.
34:19It's very close.
34:21I couldn't make it bright.
34:25The colors I saw were very similar.
34:29It's dark and cloudy.
34:32There are six colors.
34:35That's right.
34:37Wait a minute.
34:39Can I go to the fifth color?
34:42Can I go to the fifth color?
34:45Will the person who paints win?
34:48The more you mix the colors, the more cloudy it gets.
34:53KADOKURA is very close.
34:56It's a little blue.
34:57Is it blue?
34:59I think it's based on blue.
35:01Is blue too strong?
35:03That's right.
35:05This is the recipe for the four-color painting.
35:08The percentage of white is about 50%.
35:11The surprising color is ocher.
35:18That's great.
35:20Next, let's take a look at the latest technology to solve social problems.
35:26What is the latest technology to solve social problems?
35:31There is a product in this room.
35:39Is this it?
35:41Here it is.
35:43This is the product.
35:46Spring paint.
35:48The paint technology that has been used for many years is applied to the roll-shaped film surface.
35:55By adding heat, it can be softened and adapted to complex shapes.
36:02How do you apply it?
36:08The parts of the bumper of the car are on a large machine.
36:16When the machine is moved, a silver film comes out automatically.
36:21It is set directly above the parts.
36:26When the lid is opened from above, the inside becomes a vacuum state and heat is added.
36:36When the base of the car is lifted and the air is released, it sticks together at once.
36:47When you look at the parts that came out, there is a gap and a film is attached.
36:55That's great.
36:57The uneven parts are also like this.
37:02Even if you stretch it this much, the color hasn't changed.
37:07This means that you have a considerable amount of know-how in how to combine paints.
37:17In addition, it is said that it can also disperse light.
37:21When it comes to electric cars, the front panel requires a function that emits light and transmits radio waves.
37:30We want to use film, so we want to introduce it to the market and aim to spread it to the world.
37:38The paint test line using this spring paint will be completed soon by the paint equipment manufacturer.
37:45It is said that the area of the factory will be reduced by 80% compared to the conventional painting process.
37:53It is now attracting attention in the industry as a small space and small energy.
38:02There is still a lot of cutting-edge technology.
38:05After the commercial, there is a special paint that allows automatic operation.
38:09There is a secret on this road.
38:15The cutting-edge technology that leads to the solution of social issues is also here.
38:22Yes, the road.
38:26If you look closely around the center of the road,
38:31can you see the line drawn?
38:35This is the special paint that enables industrial development and automatic operation.
38:41This day, the automatic driving bus was tested.
38:47Automatic driving controls the vehicle with information such as cameras attached to the vehicle body and GPS location information,
38:56but there are places where GPS is unstable, such as tunnels and trees.
39:02If this special paint is applied to the ground, the sensor attached to the vehicle body can recognize the position of the car.
39:12It is a inconspicuous line in the naked eye, but when you look through the sensor, you can see that a line is drawn in the middle.
39:19The automatic driving bus will be operated at Osaka Kansai Expo next year,
39:25but this paint will be used on the route of operation to support safe operation.
39:36The Expo is an event that is attracting attention from all over the world,
39:41and the target line paint that we developed is the automatic driving bus.
39:46We hope that the target line paint will be recognized as a new product to support automatic driving.
39:55In addition, it is said that it will contribute to solving the shortage of drivers in the transportation industry in the future.
40:04It was a surprising new technology. How was it, Ms. Maone?
40:08It's more like a material than a paint.
40:13I'm sure a lot of new technologies will be used in the future.
40:20Will the target line paint be used in the upcoming Expo?
40:25It is still in the experimental phase, so it is not fully available yet.
40:32However, there is a shortage of bus drivers in rural areas.
40:37If it is a bus that runs on a fixed route, it can be used very well.
40:44As a result, it can solve the shortage of drivers.
40:48In the end, it will solve the social issues that came up at the beginning.
40:53I think it has a solid image.
40:56I think the paint has a wide range of applications.
41:00In India, it is very hot, so there are a lot of summer refrigeration demands.
41:07The government is working on a cool roof.
41:11The roof is painted with a high reflective paint.
41:15It has been proven that the temperature in the whole city drops considerably.
41:20I think there will be a lot of business opportunities.
41:24Of course, the road surface will be designed so that the temperature does not rise.
41:29There are people who run marathons.
41:32In that sense, it is a plus that the road itself has heat dissipation.
41:35As I said, if there is a shortage of energy to lower the temperature of the refrigerator,
41:45it is a plus for the society.
41:50As I said earlier, the white paint with lead is the root of the paint.
41:56That's right.
41:58As a result, the paint is for the earth.
42:01The spring paint was amazing.
42:03As a result, the space in the factory can be reduced.
42:07Normally, when you stretch the film, the color becomes lighter.
42:11That is not the case with our technology.
42:14As a result, the process can be reduced.
42:18This is something that cannot be done without technology.
42:21It's not pure paint.
42:24In a sense, we use our technology to meet the needs of our customers.
42:30I was surprised.
42:31I understand that this world will evolve in many ways.
42:38Now, let's move on to the last question.
42:42What do you think is necessary for a leader?
42:47What is necessary for a leader?
43:02Now, let's move on to the last question.
43:06What do you think is necessary for a leader?
43:11I think it is the power to bring out the potential.
43:18This is true for the companies we bought.
43:23It is also true for our talent.
43:25Japanese employees are very good and serious.
43:31They work very hard.
43:33However, it is the leader who can bring out their high ability.
43:39If you do a useless job, you will crush it.
43:43If you can bring out what is valuable to your customers,
43:48there will be infinite upsides.
43:51In that sense, everyone has potential.
43:56I think it is necessary for a leader to bring out the potential.
44:01It depends on whether you can do it or not.
44:03So, the key point is to bring out the ESS.
44:07You brought out the good points of each company.
44:12What do you think, Ms. Matabe?
44:14I made up my mind today.
44:17I will buy a lot of stocks.
44:19I will buy a lot of stocks.
44:21I will buy a lot of stocks.
44:25You made up your mind.
44:27I will buy a lot of stocks.
44:29I am looking forward to it.
44:31What do you think, Mr. Katokura?
44:33The ideal of a leader is a cool head and a warm heart.
44:40He has a calm mind and a warm heart.
44:44I think he is expressing that.
44:48He looks at the financial situation calmly.
44:52But he also solves social issues.
44:58He is great.
45:00How many more years will you be the president?
45:02It's not up to me.
45:06Do you want to be the president?
45:07As long as my motivation, physical strength, and my desire to maximize the stock market do not change,
45:20I want to do it for a long time.
45:23Of course, I don't want to cling to the people around me.
45:31As I said before, I think there is a great possibility around me.
45:39I don't want to quit until I can pull it out.
45:45The next episode is about the founder of ETERNAL HOSPITALITY GROUP, Mr. Tadashi Okura.
45:51He is a popular yakitori chain, TORIKIZOKU, with a total price of 370 yen.
45:55With the momentum of catching a flying bird, he will increase his business and accelerate overseas expansion.
46:01His goal is to expand the world of yakitori culture.
