Chapter 964 (1/2)

”One cent electricity price, Mr. Jiang, are you sure you're not joking”

”yes,” Jiang said patiently, repeating what he had said countless times. ”Only one cable from ANGA island to Tokyo can solve the power consumption of the whole Japanese pair.”

The dwarf sitting opposite him immediately smiles and warmly holds Jiang Chen's hand.

”Hi, hi, this is something we can talk about”

after the biochemical crisis, the former Japanese Prime Minister, comrade bent Ren, was forced to step down. Although the newly elected Japanese politicians are not as right as their predecessors, their domestic political circles still have a strong sense of conservatism.

The concrete performance lies in the distrust of foreign enterprises.

Star ring trade can guarantee power supply within the term of the contract. If the contract expires, star ring trade refuses to renew the contract, or asks for a price. Facing the price of 1 cent, Japan's domestic power stations are not competitive at all. There is a gap that cannot be filled by financial subsidies. At that time, Japan's power stations are almost closed, even if they are not willing to accept the star ring trade price increase, they have to pinch their noses.

The conditions are attractive, of course.

Since the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident, Japan has been enveloped in a mood called nuclear panic. It is almost impossible to start building a nuclear power plant again. But if we don't rely on nuclear power, we can't solve the social contradictions brought about by the increasing demand for electricity.

Even if Jiang Chen repeatedly promised that such a thing would not happen, it would not be so easy to dispel the worries of Japanese politicians.

”I'm sorry I can't give you a clear answer today. I have to exchange views with my cabinet before I can make a responsible answer.” The dwarf sitting opposite Jiang Chen got up and bowed. After shaking hands with Jiang Chen, he was sent to the door.

No matter what kind of dangerous things they think, they will not write them on their faces. This is also the most tiring place for Jiang Chen to negotiate with Japanese people.

This is totally different from that in India. However, the Indians happily invited him into the house and started the negotiation with a good look on his face. However, when he signed the contract, he couldn't agree with each other.

Jiang Chen even wondered whether he wanted to find an American to represent him for the negotiation. First National Bank of Boston or Morgan Stanley should be happy to represent the negotiations as long as the Commission is appropriate. Moreover, with his father as a guarantee, Japanese politicians should be less wary.

After leaving the official residence of the Japanese Prime Minister, Jiang Chen in the accompanying car looked at the time on his watch.

It's only three o'clock now. There's still some time before the eight o'clock appointment with Liu Yao. I'm thinking about what to do during this period of time, but a phone call suddenly hits his wristwatch.

”Hello”

”it's me, boss. You have done what you told me David Smith's voice sounded in his ear. Before that, Jiang Chen entrusted the negotiation between star ring trading and Indian power company to the future people bank. Now I think we have reached a conclusion.

”It's still the original contract”

”yes, the state-owned power utility company of India has made a concession on the investment share of submarine cable, and has promised to bear 70% of the construction cost.”

Jiang Chen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Well done.”

The cost of submarine cable construction has always been one of the issues in dispute. Jiang Chen has saved a lot of electricity for them. There is no reason to help them to talk about their meals. The construction cost of nearly one billion US dollars is not a small sum. At first, the state power of India insisted that both sides should bear 50% of the total cost. Later, it finally relaxed to 60%. However, it was still 10 points short of the expectation of star ring trade.

”As long as you find the right way to get along with Indians, it's really easy.” Smith accepted Jiang Chen's praise with a smile.

Jiang Chen laughed and exchanged greetings with Smith. Just then Smith thought of something and said.
