Chapter 588: Probing Each Other's Bottom Line, the Dispute over Interests Between China and Japan

Tokyo, an island country.

Office of the Speaker of the Cabinet.

After learning the conditions proposed by Chen Xing, Hideki Kamioka cursed: "Bakayarō, he is crazy, he actually wants to get involved in our power system!"

What is the power system?

People's livelihood and national defense.

Leaving aside the people's livelihood, just talking about national defense, the power system cannot be involved by other countries.

Those who often use excavators know that before excavation, they need to know whether there are national defense cables or optical cables nearby. Once the national defense cables are cut, I'm sorry, not only do you have to pay money, but you will also be taken back for investigation.

If you are lucky, you will be out in half a month.

If you are unlucky, for example, if your ancestors have the wrong stance, or your parents have been in prison, you will not be out for a year or two.

Because it involves national defense issues, no one dares to slack off.

Even if you really dig it up accidentally, who can guarantee that there will be no spies disguised as excavator masters to deliberately dig up the national defense cables?

Take Iraq for example. Before the United States launched the Gulf War against it, it felt good about itself and gathered millions of troops to fight hard. As a result, its communications and electricity were destroyed at the first time, making it a living target.

It is also because electricity for national defense is very important. Anyone who touches the red line must be strictly investigated for three generations.

"So what should we do now?"

Yoshida Kiyoshi asked.

Yokoi Tomohiko on the side also said: "Looking at Chen Xing's posture, it feels like there is no room for negotiation if he doesn't agree."

"..."

Ueka Hideki fell silent.

If he had known this, he should have accepted the defeat and handed over the Toyota Group to Chen Xing in its entirety, so that both sides could be more decent.

But now, they no longer urgently need the industrial system of the Toyota Group to complete the industrialization upgrade, because Lee Jae-yong directly transferred the Hanxing Group to Chen Xing, and the Hanxing Group has a certain industrial foundation.

It's like you want to buy charcoal in winter, but you meet a black-hearted charcoal merchant who raises the price and asks for an exorbitant price. Just when you are about to give up, another charcoal merchant is willing to sell charcoal at the original price. Without the urgent factor of "freezing to death", who cares about the price of black-hearted charcoal?

Although the industrial strength of Hanxing Group is not as good as Toyota Group and Honda Group, it can solve the urgent problem.

Nowadays, relying on the industrial system of Hanxing Group, some high-precision machine tools, semiconductor equipment, communication equipment, and smelting equipment have achieved domestic substitution.

For Chen Xing, Toyota Group can no longer be said to be a timely help, but only icing on the cake.

This is why Chen Xing dared to open up the lion's mouth and talk to the island country about the power system, because he didn't care at all, and the island country was really anxious.

At this moment, the island country's economy is not only lacking in domestic demand, but also wants to open up the land purchased in Brazil and is driven away by the breach of contract. It's really a dog looking at it and shaking his head.

...

After thinking for dozens of seconds, Hideki Kamioka sighed and said helplessly: "Open the video chat, and I will talk to him in person."

"Okay."

Kiyoshi Yoshida nodded in response.

Now they have no better way, or rather, they have little choice.

If the domestic economic problems cannot be solved in time, the overall GDP of the island country will immediately regress by several decades, and even the "lost thirty years" may be repeated.

As Kiyoshi Yokoi and Tomohiko Yokoi returned to the office, they looked at Chen Xing in his office, and their eyes could not help but flash with surprise.

In their opinion, Chen Xing was too "involuted". They went out for only a few minutes, and he actually started working. This was simply not letting go of any time.

How did that sentence go?

I am not afraid of not having talent, but I am afraid that others have talent and work harder than me.

It is the most desperate thing to be unable to compete in talent and effort.

However, what Kiyoshi Yoshida and Tomohiko Yokoi didn't know was that Chen Xing had already monitored all of their conversations, thanks to the "Call Signal Electromagnetic Wave Replication Technology" developed by the Information and Communication Laboratory.

As we all know, the principle of mobile phone calls is to convert the content of the conversation into digital signals, which are then transmitted to nearby base stations by built-in antennas and sent to the corresponding base stations to complete the communication between the two places.

National-level high-level officials such as Kiyoshi Yoshida and Hideki Kamioka basically use encrypted customized mobile phones.

Not only will the digital signals be encrypted and there will be garbled interference, but some can also directly connect to communication satellites to achieve long-distance encrypted calls.

"Call Signal Electromagnetic Wave Replication Technology" is just as the name suggests, it is to capture the digital signal electromagnetic waves of this call, and then transmit them from the base station of the Sakata base. Due to the increased receiving and transmitting power, the call delay time is almost the same as usual.

In summary, as long as he is at the Sakata base of the Longxing Group, Chen Xing is fully capable of monitoring anyone's calls without being discovered.

Of course.

Because it involves privacy, he did not abuse it.

Chen Xing didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on others, and he was very busy. He might as well take a rest.

"What do you think?"

Chen Xing stood up.

He walked out of his office, gestured to take a seat, and returned to his previous seat.

"Because it involves the power system, it is beyond our authority. Speaker Ueka Hideki wants to talk to you in person." Yoshida Kiyoshi didn't rush to take a seat, but asked Chen Xing for his opinion first.

"Okay."

Chen Xing said without hesitation.

After getting Chen Xing's permission, the two of them took their seats. Tomohiko Yokoi picked up his briefcase and took out the Apple laptop inside. After a simple operation, the video connection was successful.

"Mr. Chen, this is our first meeting. Please give me your advice."

Hideki Ueoka smiled and said hello.

At this time, he had a kind face, and a dimple could still be seen on the left cheek. Judging from his appearance, he looked like a kind old man.

However, anyone who understands the culture of the island country knows that this kind of kindness is not really kindness, but a smile hidden in a smile. This can be seen from the island country police.

Because the police of the island country often have a kind tone and smile when enforcing the law. If you put down your guard because of this, you will have to either stay in jail for a few days or pay a sky-high fine.

If I had to use one word to describe them, it would be good at inducing!

Because of the modern history of the Dragon Kingdom and the island country's actions in the Toyota Group incident, Chen Xing had a very bad impression of the island country. He did not give it a good look and said: "It is inappropriate to give advice. Let's get to the point. We both have limited time."

"That's right, Mr. Chen, you have just returned to China, and the group must still have a lot of things to deal with." Hideki Ueoka echoed without any airs.

Normally, Chen Xing would not reach out to hit the smiling person, but who would let him face Xiao Baga, whom he hates?

"You also know the three conditions. Whether you agree or disagree, please give an accurate signal." Chen Xing emphasized again.

Facing Chen Xing's pressing step by step and questioning without any shame, Ueoka Hideki frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he still nodded and bowed and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, the main point we are talking about is ...Um...can we balance the power issue?"

"no."

Chen Xing's attitude was firm.

If it were in the past, he might have agreed, but who would have thought that Lee Jae-yong would sell Hansung Group, allowing Yongheung Group to temporarily get rid of the predicament of industrial equipment?

"No room for maneuver?"

Hideki Ueoka lost his previous kindness and his smile faded. Chen Xing's attitude made him understand that they were determined to kill them and make the island country a "blood donor".

In Chen Xing's view, the island nation has been pawning the blood package for the United States for so long, so is it also pawning it for the Dragon Kingdom? Is this condition difficult?

Moreover, if the island country's economy is not in dire straits and cannot be solved by the United States, Chen Xing is sure that the other side will not be so groveling and greet them with a smile.

To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself. Even children understand this.

Even though Hideki Ueoka was filled with hatred, for the sake of the overall situation, he still made a decision and said: "Okay, we promise you."

This sentence seemed to drain all his strength, and the moment he said it, his waist was obviously bent a little.

The United States cannot solve the problems currently encountered by the island country, and now it can only unconditionally agree to the conditions proposed by Chen Xing.

Otherwise, the island country may become the next Thailand.

Anyone who knows history knows that Thailand was not weak at all, and its economy was extremely strong. It was because Soros shorted the Thai baht and drained the country's economy that Thailand missed the opportunity for industrialization and completely became a tourism and color industry country. .

If you want to solve the domestic economic deflation, you can only unconditionally agree to Chen Xing's conditions.

"By the way, there is one more condition."

Chen Xing suddenly thought of something.

After hearing that there were still conditions, Hideki Ueoka silently clenched his fists. If possible, he really wanted to use 7.62 bullets to wash Chen Xing's hair. This man was really greedy.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he still endured it, but gritted his teeth and emphasized his tone, expressing his dissatisfaction: "You say it!"

"Comprehensively liberalize tariff restrictions on Longguo companies, such as Frontier Technology, Kunpeng Company, Rice Company, etc."

Chen Xing ignored Ueoka Hideki's anger and still went his own way.

Because Longguo's products sell so well, especially Kunpeng Company's communication equipment, Frontier Technology's drones, etc., the island country also followed the example of Europe and the United States in raising tariffs in order to control the trade balance.

"OK."

Hideki Ueoka agreed again.

"There are one last condition."

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Yokoi Tomohiko beside him couldn't hold himself any longer. He directly slapped the table and said, "Chen Xing, don't go too far."

When he slapped the table, the sound immediately attracted the attention of Tang Long at the door. He immediately opened the door of the office and glanced at Kiyoshi Yoshida and Tomohiko Yokoi with fierce eyes.

The two men, who were only less than 1.7 meters tall, looked at the ferocious Tang Long, and their anger suddenly went out, and they all became more rational.

Force may not be the answer, but it is the most direct way.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"Ahem."

Chen Xing coughed twice and waved his hand, signaling Tang Long to go out first.

Seeing that nothing happened in the office, Tang Long glared at Kiyoshi Yoshida and Tomohiko Yokoi, then left the office and closed the door again.

The moment Tang Long went out, Yoshida Kiyoshi and Yokoi Tomohiko breathed a sigh of relief. They had long heard of this man's reputation.

When the United States sent agents to infiltrate the Longxing Group in an attempt to steal chip secrets, they were punched one by one. The female agent even had her joints broken.

In the face of absolute power, people will always remain calm and sober.

Ueoka Hideki also saw Tang Long's appearance. He was a little scared through the screen. Seeing the other party leaving, he decided to take the overall situation into consideration and said: "Tell me, what other conditions are there?"

“We, the Longxing Group, are solely responsible for the island country’s information and communications.”

"no!"

Hideki Ueoka did not hesitate this time. He tolerated electricity and tariffs, but information and communications were his last bottom line and he would never give in.

"Don't you think about it?"

Chen Xing tried again.

However, Hideki Ueoka was extremely serious and responded: "Ryuguo State Grid Group is the world's top power company. We can each get what we need from our cooperation, but in the field of information and communications, this is related to the privacy of the people of the island country, and I cannot give in!" "

The air was silent again at this moment, and neither party spoke anymore.

After finding out the other party's bottom line, Chen Xing, who had a tight face, suddenly smiled and made a concession: "What if we talk about a joint venture?"

"joint venture?"

Hideki Ueoka was puzzled.

Chen Xing was also very patient and explained: "We, the Longxing Group, have selected an island nation's communications company to provide communications technology. We will only extract profits and not participate in the operation. It is similar to a joint venture between car companies."

"no."

Hideki Ueoka was firm.

At this time, he was also testing Chen Xing's bottom line. This condition was acceptable in principle. After all, the actual operation of the 5G network still relied on Longxing Group, but its market share was not large.

"Then let's stop here."

Chen Xing stood up without bargaining at all. At this time, he was also testing Hideki Kamioka's final bottom line. If the other party insisted on not agreeing, then he could only give up.

Both sides are testing each other like crazy to see who will bow his head and compromise first.

Seeing Chen Xing's expulsion order, Ueoka Hideki only persisted for two seconds and quickly changed his words: "Yes, but only if we choose a communications company. I hope Mr. Chen can understand this."

"no problem."

Chen Xing sat down again with a smile on his face.

Seeing the tug, test, and speed of change between the two, Yoshida Kiyoshi and Yokoi Tomohiko just felt like new recruits.

If they had put themselves in their shoes, they would have been defeated long ago.

Seeing the smile on the corner of Chen Xing's mouth, Ueoka Hideki couldn't help but hammer his thigh. He finally found out the opponent's bottom line, but it was too late. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely insist on it again.

Unfortunately, there is no if in reality.

"When will the contract be signed?" Hideki Ueoka admitted.

"Um…"

Chen Xing thought for half a second and then said: "This matter involves tariffs, electricity, communications and deep trade between the two countries. I have no right to make a decision. You need to come to Longguo in person. I will make an appointment with the relevant departments to finalize it in detail."

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"One week later, give each other time to fully prepare."

"Can."

"See you in the Imperial Capital in one week."

"good!"

As the video call hung up, Chen Xingya and Hideki Ueoka reached a preliminary consensus, but he did not have the decision-making power. Instead, he needed to consult Wang Shan's opinion before making a decision.

But Chen Xing personally feels that Wang Shan will not refuse the three bargaining chips of tariff, electricity and communications.

After all, the number one enemy now is the United States. Pulling the United States off the altar and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Dragon Kingdom is the primary plan.

"Mr. Chen, let's go back first."

"See you soon, Mr. Chen."

The matter was initially finalized, and Yoshida Kiyoshi and Yokoi Tomohiko also planned to leave.

"Don't you want to have dinner together?"

Chen Xing stood up and was polite.

Yoshida Kiyoshi and Yokoi Tomohiko also knew that Chen Xing was being polite, so they declined: "No, I won't bother you, Mr. Chen."

"Okay then, be careful on the road."

"Thanks for your concern."

Chen Xing watched the two people leave.

After the two left, he immediately dialed Wang Shan's mobile phone number.

It only took a second for the call to be connected. It was obvious that the old man had been keeping an eye on Chen Xing's call during this period.

"How's it going?"

"What conditions does the other party offer?"

"Are you encountering a difficult problem?"

Facing the series of questions, Chen Xing smiled calmly. He could clearly feel Wang Shan's excitement and urgency.

You know, the Dragon Kingdom, Japan and South Korea almost established an East Asian Economic Alliance, but were forced to do so by the United States.

It’s not just the East Asian Economic Union. When the European Union was first established, the United States was also behind the scenes, provoking internal strife among EU countries, which made it impossible for the euro to ban the US dollar and become the preferred trading currency of EU countries.

"The other party almost unconditionally agreed to all the conditions I proposed, and my condition is...

1. Allow Longxing Chemical to enter the island country market and establish a production factory.

2. The infrastructure construction of new energy vehicles in island countries is funded by the island countries and constructed by Longxing Group.

3. The island country’s power system will be handed over to Longguo State Grid Group. "

When Chen Xing said this, Wang Shan couldn't help but let out an "ah", wondering if he heard wrongly. The island country's power system will be taken over by Longguo Enterprise. Are you sure the other party will accept it?

Sensing Wang Shan's confusion, Chen Xing simply reported the date and said: "In one week, Hideki Ueoka will arrive in the imperial capital, and you will have to check it personally, old chief."
