Knock! Knock!
Director Fang knocked on the door and entered. Iron-fist Zhu asked without raising his head. "What is it?"
"Prime Minister, Japan's Prime Minister's office had sent you an invitation to visit Japan." Director Fang replied.
"No. Reply that I am not free."
"Ok. I know."
Japan's Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama was walking back and forth in his office. Japan's economic crisis is coming again, and this time, it is different from the previous one. This crisis is triggered by negative news, and Japanese companies' trust in the world had dropped. This crisis might bankrupt a batch of Japanese companies again.
Now, he could only solve the problem from the root, which was to let the Chinese side announce that everything was a misunderstanding. Then, it would be much easier to solve the problem. But Hua Xia's government will surely put in harsh conditions, and the Prime Minister will have to give them some benefits.
But Tomiichi Murayama did not expect his invitation letter was rejected by Hua Xia's government. Hua Xia had been wanting to visit Japan for a long time. Why did they reject his invitation?
Tomiichi Murayama immediately asked his men to contact Iron-fist Zhu. He wants to speak to Iron-fist Zhu. If Iron-fist Zhu does not want to come over, he will go to China.
"Mr. Zhu, I am sincerely inviting you to represent Hua Xia to visit Japan. We can cooperate in many areas, including military cooperation!" Tomiichi Murayama had shown his sincerity. Military cooperation can only be carried out in secret. If not, the US will interfere.
"Hua Xia is a neutral country. We love peace and will not participate in wars. That's why we do not need military cooperation. As for our economy, we are doing well and do not need more cooperation. Also, we are not interested in cooperating with your Japanese companies. "Iron-fist Zhu rejected.
Rejected! Iron-fist Zhu rejected! Japan's air force, navy, and other military equipment are better than Hua Xia. Tomiichi Murayama thought Iron-fist Zhu will have some requests in this area. But he was rejected!
What a joke. Hua Xia's war in the southwest is still ongoing, and there are still small-scale battles. What does he mean by not participating in wars?
"Mr. Zhu, our Japanese companies have many advanced technologies, and they are the most advanced in the world. We can set up a joint venture factory in Hua Xia and hand over the technologies to you. This will be beneficial to your country's industrial technology."
"I'm sorry. We do not want to work with companies that destroy the environment and disregard the lives of their employees. Also, we, Hua Xia, will gradually remove these Japanese companies. We do not welcome such companies to invest in Hua Xia." Iron-fist Zhu said.
Tomiichi Murayama panicked when he heard this. "Mr. Zhu, please don't do this. Our previous cooperation was very pleasant. If all our companies leave Hua Xia, it will have a significant impact on Hua Xia's economy. You should be able to consider this point. "
When the translator translated the conversation to Iron-fist Zhu, Iron-fist Zhu's face changed. Tomiichi Murayama was threatening him!
However, Hua Xia had never lacked the courage to resist any injustice. Even if it was war, Hua Xia was not afraid!
"Are you going to evacuate Hua Xia? That's great. We welcome you all to leave. Maybe you do not know that the US, Germany, and a few other countries' economic leaders had contacted us. They want to cooperate with us in many areas, including the industrial sector. Maybe our economy will be affected, but we can bear it. Japan's industry might be strong. But without you all, we can still develop. "
The Northeast region's old industrial base was doing well. Many former Soviet Union experts were working there. Also, all the research results will belong to Hua Xia. Unlike Japanese companies, where Hua Xia's people work for them, and all the research results will belong to Japan. Was there even a need to say which side to support?
Welcome? Hua Xia was welcoming Japanese companies to withdraw their investments? How could this be possible? Japanese companies had the highest investments in Hua Xia. Hua Xia's government must be crazy!
Tomiichi Murayama knew that Hua Xia's government was not crazy. It was because they knew that Japanese companies would not dare to withdraw their investments. This was because Japan's losses would be higher.
If they withdraw their investments, Hua Xia's economy would suffer a setback. But it was like what Chui Chui had said. Without Japanese companies, other countries will still invest in Hua Xia. Also, Hua Xia's factories and workers will be more attractive to foreign investors.
Japan will lose a market like China, and they will lose their cheap labor force. After losing these factories, Japan's economy will decline, and it will be an irreversible decline.
This was because if Japanese companies wanted to rebuild their factories, it will take a longer time, and their losses will be higher. It would even increase their manufacturing costs and transportation costs, and they would lose a market with great potential that had been developed for many years.
Hua Xia's economy could withstand this setback. Anyway, Hua Xia's people had been poor for a long time. They should be able to hold on for another two years. But Japan's economy had just collapsed a few years ago. These few years, Japan had changed 7 to 8 Prime Ministers. If this were to happen, Tomiichi Murayama, who had just taken office, would also be fired!
Tomiichi Murayama did not want this to happen. He still had many political ambitions. Also, the longer he was the Prime Minister, the more benefits he would get after he retires. His family's future would be better.
"Mr. Zhu, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that I want those polluting companies to leave Hua Xia. We will also increase our investments. We can cooperate in many areas and prosper together. "
Tomiichi Murayama had given in, but Iron-fist Zhu did not appreciate it. He wanted more than this. He had waited for a long time and did not get an apology from Tomiichi Murayama.
"I see. Maybe there is a mistake in the translation. But those polluting companies must not only leave Hua Xia. They must also compensate for the damages. This includes the cost of cleaning up the polluted environment, the cost of treatment for those who have fallen ill, and many other costs. Also, according to international law, a fine must be paid! Iron-fist Zhu had mentioned Hua Xia's conditions. They had already discussed this and felt Japan will surely agree to these conditions.
"Of course. We will also deal with those companies seriously. Most of the Japanese companies have a conscience. Those are only a few companies. As for the matter of compensation, should Mr. Zhu come over and we can discuss it? "
"I am not free. You should come over. Also, before you come over, you have to get your emperor to apologize to the public for what those companies have done! "
What? The Emperor needs to apologize on behalf of Japan? If he agreed, then his position as Prime Minister would probably come to an end. The Emperor is the symbol of Japan. How can he do such a disgraceful thing?!
"Mr. Zhu, the Emperor will not show up. He is meditating today. I can ask our Foreign Minister to apologize on our behalf. This is our greatest sincerity. "Tomiichi Murayama said.
"Foreign Minister? Seems like the Japanese are not sincere. There is no need for us to negotiate! "
"Wait. Mr. Zhu, if the Foreign Minister is not willing, we can ask our Minister of State or the representative of the National Assembly to apologize."
"If the Emperor is not willing to apologize, then you should be the one to apologize! We will not accept other people's words. That's all I have to say. If there is no apology, you will bear the consequences! "
