Chapter 1110 (1/2)

Sitting in the conference room of futureman building, Hamada Wenxiong thanks the waiter for the tea, but his eyes can't help but aim at the wall clock.

This is the tenth time that he has repeated this action since he entered the door.

After talking to Jiang Chen on the phone, he immediately pushed off the afternoon's itinerary, and came here after the meeting with Zhang Yaping.

When he arrived here, Jiang Chen was on the space elevator, and it was more than an hour before he could arrive in Koro city. Therefore, Xia Shiyu arranged them in this conference room and asked the manager to make some tea for them.

Also sitting in this room are several trusted fellow diplomats from the diplomatic team he brought from Japan.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the United States, he came here under the guise of electricity negotiation, and he could stay here for a short time. As for the purpose of his trip, I don't have to guess. Of course, it's for the 50% defense tax.

There is no country in the world that has the same desire for space resources as Japan. The divergence between the lack of local resources and industrial development has been like a curse on Japan since the last century. If there is a slight disturbance in the world economy, the Nikkei index will have to slide down.

As soon as the star ring city announced that it would accept foreign capital investment, Japanese capitalists and large consortia rushed forward, especially the rare earth mining project in Guanghan City. They were afraid that the star ring trade would not take their money.

It is no exaggeration to say that the total investment of Japanese enterprises in the star ring city ranks third only to the United States and China, and even ahead of Russia.

It is precisely because of this that the 50% defense tax will be so painful to them.

When Hamada murmured in his heart, the door of the meeting room opened and Jiang Chen came in from outside.

Seeing this, he immediately took the lead to get up from the chair, with a smile on his face, and extended his right hand to meet him.

”I'm glad to meet you. I'm Takeo Ishida, the Minister of foreign affairs of Japan.”

”Jiang Chen, chairman of futureman group and xinghuan Trade Co., Ltd. Mr. Ishida doesn't have to introduce himself. We met at the outer space security summit. ” Holding his hand, Jiang Chen said with a smile.

At the words of the outer space security summit, an embarrassed expression flashed from Mr. Ishida's face. But he was worthy of engaging in diplomacy. Naturally, his face was far beyond human comparison. Pretending not to hear the word, he warmly held Jiang Chen's hand and exchanged greetings.

Since the fall of Abe's cabinet after the biochemical crisis in Tokyo, he changed his previous political stance and turned to the left. Because he highly supports the foreign policy of the new prime minister, after the establishment of the new cabinet, he continued to be nominated by the foreign minister and became the only cabinet minister not replaced by the new prime minister.

Of course, this is also related to the turbulent situation in Japan at that time, and no new prime minister was available.

Putting aside those external factors, but judging from his style of conduct, this man can be regarded as a typical example.

Clearly at the outer space defense summit, he stood firmly on the side of the American father. At this moment, seeing that the Earth Defense Alliance had been in full swing, he immediately pretended that nothing had happened.

However, just as the so-called person who reaches out and doesn't smile looks like he is smiling and bowing, Jiang Chen grins at the corners of his mouth, releases his hand and makes a gesture of invitation to the chair next to him.

”Sit down, please.”

After seeing minister Ishida sitting down, several diplomats who came with him also sat down.

Jiang Chen went to the first seat in front of the conference table and sat down. He gestured to the assistant behind him to go out and take the door with him. Hearing the sound of closing the door behind him, he leaned back on his chair and looked at the Japanese delegation.

”Mr. Amanda should not come to me to reminisce about the past. You know, I'm an entrepreneur. I don't have to do all that red tape here. If there's anything you can say

”Since Mr. Jiang Chen said so, I'll speak straight to the point,” minister Ishida coughed slightly and said, ”is your 50% defense tax too high?”
