    The Ito family, recognized as Japan’s foremost family, is facing a gradual decline in influence.


    Complicating matters is the presence of another prominent family in Japan, the Takahashi family.


    Both families are actively pursuing opportunities for breakthroughs, particrly looking towards the leading families in China for coboration.


    In recent years, the Banks Family has emerged as the foremost family in China, gaining substantial influence. As China’s economy has rapidly developed, the Banks Family’s power and prominence have also surged.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    For the past few years, the Banks Family has concentrated on solidifying its position within the domestic market. Having established itself as the top family in China, it has only recently begun to shift its focus towards international ventures.


    This change has attracted the attention of numerous Japanese families eager to forge strong partnerships with the Banks Family.


    Over thest decade, China’s import and export trade has shown consistent growth, leading to increased shipping demands and rapid port development. Currently, seven of the world’s ten busiest ports by throughput are located in China.


    Global trade today heavily relies on maritime shipping, as a significant portion of oil, minerals, and various goods are transported via sea routes.


    For instance, oil supplies for East Asia and Southeast Asia primarilye from the Middle East, transported byrge tankers to various ports;


    Simrly, East Asia and Southeast Asia rely on massive freighters to transport iron ore from Australia and Brazil.


    The Banks Family has a long-standing involvement in the port industry, owning shares in major domestic ports. They are currently working on establishing Asia’srgest shippingpany and fleet, which will synergize with their domestic port resources.<fnc7b2> Official source is fin?novel</fnc7b2>


    To realize their vision of creating thergest shipping fleet in Asia, the Banks Family is making significant investments and seeking in-depth partnerships with consortia from Japan and South Korea, offering them a stake in the venture.


    This coboration with Japanese and South Korean consortia is strategic, as both countries are developed and have substantial shipping demands. Notably, South Korea’s Busan Port and Japan’s Tokyo and Yokohama Ports are among Asia’s major ports.


    If the Banks Family can secure resources from these ports, their shipping enterprise could effectively control a significant portion of East Asia’s vital shipping routes, promising substantial future profits.


    The response from Japanese and South Korean consortia has been overwhelmingly positive. Many are eager to partner with the Banks Family, hoping to join forces with them.


    In Japan alone, at least a dozen families and consortia are keen on coborating with the Banks Family, with the Ito family and the Takahashi family standing out as the most prominent contenders!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
