Do you dare to believe that there is still a 1446-year-old company in today's society, and looking at this age, this company should have been established since the Sui Dynasty in our country.
In today's society, a company that has been established for decades is considered to be very strong, and in most cases, most companies are facing closure or have closed down for various reasons.
There are only a handful of dynasties that can continue their power for more than five generations, and the same is true for the establishment and maintenance of enterprisesWhat has happened to this 1,466-year-old company that has survived so many years of weathering the storm and what has happened to this company over the course of those centuriesAnd by what means do you stand out from the crowd? Let's find out!
Park In 578, China was in the midst of a period of turmoil between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. At the same time, Japan was also in the midst of a transition period between the Kofun period and the Asuka period.
At that time, most of the Japanese aristocracy began to build kofun in order to consolidate their imperial power, and Prince Shotoku began to vigorously promote reforms in order to lay a good foundation for his future.
Buddhism was deeply influenced by this vigorous reform, and even more so in this reform.
The main reason for this is that the atmosphere of Buddhism is very mellow in Japan, so ** began to vigorously rebuild and expand the temple, but at that time, the Japanese economy was in the initial stage, and the technology was not very perfect, so Prince Shotoku took the initiative to ask his father to go to other countries to find excellent architects.
At this time, Liu Chongguang, who was far away in North Korea, that is, the founder of the company in this issue, appearedHis appearance became the first choice of Prince Shotoku, and the main reason for this was that Yoo Chongguang was the chief designer of the Goguryeo Gyeongdeok Forbidden City.
In this way, Prince Shotoku traveled thousands of miles to Korea to invite the famous architect, and at first Yanagi Shigemitsu did not want to go to Japan for various reasonsLater, under their many persuasions, I was moved by their sincerity and chose to go to Japan.
After Yanagi Shigemitsu arrived in Japan, he first built Shitennoji Temple under the authorization of Prince Shotoku, and later after the construction of Shitennoji Temple was completed, Yanagi Shigemitsu could also ask Yanagi Shigemitsu to receive a will to protect this Buddhist thing for generationsIn this way, under the auspices of Yanagi Shigemitsu, he gradually established Japan's first construction company, Kongo-gumi Co., Ltd.
Looking back at our country, at that time, our country was still in the chaos and strife in the late period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Yang Jian was still fighting in the south and north for the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.
It was only three years after the establishment of Kongogumi (Co., Ltd.) that Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, and it can also be seen that the cultural differences between countries are hugeAlthough they are in the same era, different things happen, and the life trajectories of each country are different, and the things they do are also different.
But why Yanagi Shigemitsu was able to create the company Kongo-gumi (Co., Ltd.) is inseparable from the fact that Kongo-gumi was backed by the Japanese imperial family in the early days of its establishment, otherwise it would not have been established for thousands of years, and it has been strong to this day.
Even if you are a leader in the industry in a place you know well, you have to start from scratch when you go to an unfamiliar placeNot to mention the development of transnational foreign lands, Liu Chongguang must face a lot of challenges.
When Yanagi Shigemitsu came to a foreign country, he brought a difficult task to complete Prince Shotoku, and Yanagi Shigemitsu worked hard, and did not hesitate to reorganize his team members, through continuous field research on the architectural characteristics of each countryIn the end, he decided to use the architecture of China and Goguryeo as a reference and his own design skills for many years, and completed the first draft of the temple construction with a lot of effort.
When the first draft appeared, many people were surprised that this would work, but this is also where Liu Shigemitsu excelled, he used the mortise and tenon structure to build a Buddhist temple without using a nail, and the members of the group did not dare to slack off at all, and continued to improve their craft.
Speaking of mortise and tenon technology, it was introduced to Japan from the Tang Dynasty of China in the 7th century AD, and was also widely used in Japan in the later period, because its unique structure can play a shockproof effect, especially in Japan is a frequent country.
Seeing the little friends here will be confused, isn't the mortise and tenon technology introduced to Japan in the 7th century AD?Why did Japan in the same period of the Sui Dynasty in our country also have a mortise and tenon structure, don't worry, friends, at that time Japan will not be but still in North Korea Liu Chongguang (Liu Chongguang) will.
It was using this technology that the Kongogumi built two Buddhist temples, Shitennoji and Horyuji Temple, for Japan, however,These two Buddhist temples are also very popular with the Japanese, and these two Buddhist temples have been standing for thousands of years, which shows the strength of the mortise and tenon structure. It was the construction of these two temples that made the Vajra Gumi famous.
Because of this incident, Liu Chongguang was ordered by the king of Goguryeo to change his name to King Kong Chongguang, and since then he has started his own settled life.
Later, because of the reforms at that time, coupled with the promotion of the Vajra group, a large number of Japanese people had a better understanding of Buddhist cultureThe King Kong Group has taken advantage of this opportunity to establish a good reputation of its own, and the company has continued to grow.
The King Kong group seemed to be very brilliant at the time, but by the end of the day, the company was almost hit hard. Japan's Meiji Restoration Movement allowed Japan's economy to begin to develop, and it also raised Japan to a higher level.
However, Japan's Meiji Restoration Movement shattered the former glory of the Kongogumi. In most people's minds, the Meiji Restoration was full of economic achievementsBut what you don't know is that in order to break the status quo of the emperor's autocracy, the Japanese reformists at that time launched a campaign to exterminate Buddhism in China.
At that time, the Buddhist temples in Japan could be said to be in shambles, and most of the Buddhist temples and Buddha statues were damaged, and even the four great temples built by the Kongo Group were not spared.
Due to the loss of the emperor's blessing, the Kongogumi chose to change their business model, from a single construction for the royal family to a commercial construction and maintenance, and it was also because of this change that the Kongogumi and their exquisite craftsmanship were able to keep them.
I thought there would be no more trauma after the last trauma, but who knew that the bigger challenge was still waiting for the King Kong team.
After the Second World War, because a large number of wooden houses were burned down by the war, Japan ordered the use of modern steel and cement to build housesAs soon as this news appeared, it was a major blow to the Kongo group, and the company, which was known for its wood mortise and tenon technology, was now useless.
How will the King Kong Group willingly give up the market, but if modern technology is not introduced to build houses, then the King Kong Group will be difficult to survive, and this time makes the King Kong Group fall into a "stalemate".
But it didn't take long for the King Kong group to break this deadlock in 1955The King Kong Group began to introduce modern construction technologies such as steel bars and cement, and began to catch up with the wave of cement construction.
The difference is that the Kongo team is not just about introducing technology, he uses the original characteristics of his company to continue to innovate.
They added the original wooden mortise and tenon structure to the reinforced concrete foundation, so that it retained its original beauty, and the building was sought after by a large number of people as soon as it appeared, and the King Kong Group once again became brilliant.
But "no 100 days of flowers" in a powerful company also has a day of fallingIn the 80s of the 20th century, the then King Kong Group made a mistake in investing in real estate, which caused the market value of the company to become a bubble for a while and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Just when the Kongo group was cornered, a pair of warm hands slowly reached out to it, and it turned out that it was Takamatsu, a popular construction company at the time, who came out of his hands, and in this way, King Kong formed a subsidiary of this company.
Although the King Kong Group has changed its leadership team, Boss Takamatsu did not let him lose their original skills, because he knew that the King Kong Group could stand for thousands of years because of his unique and irreproducible technologyTo this end, after the acquisition, it continued to shine and insisted on using traditional techniques to build and build houses.
In this way, the King Kong group not only did not fight down, but continued to shine, and with the continuous updating of the current society, their technology is also constantly innovating, in retaining the original technologyConstantly improving the construction technology and refining the technology, the Kongo gumi also won the restoration project of a Buddhist temple in Japan again, which is also the first time in many years.
The persistence and inheritance of the Vajra Group's courtesy of their own technology is admirable, just like the inheritors of our country's intangible culture, even if it is difficult and difficult, I want to let people know about this culture.
Even if there is no successor to pass it on, I will give full play to my residual heatDoing unlimited things in a limited time, let everyone know in a limited time, so that more people can understand this culture and like culture.
If you see that you are impressed by this Japanese Kongogumi company, it is not for nothing that it has survived in today's society for 1466 years and the years are growing.
The King Kong Group has made different adjustments in different environments, constantly adapted to the challenges brought to it by today's society, and continued to innovate and challenge success, so its success is not unreasonable.
The reason why an enterprise can stand for a thousand years is entirely due to its own technology and super environmental adaptability, just compare it now, how many companies are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the impact of the general environment, and how many companies are facing difficulties and constantly fighting their way through reform and innovation? In fact, if you want to break out of the encirclement, you must seize your own opportunities and keep pace with the times.
