In the afternoon of the same day, Junichi Saito returned to Chudu. Japan had a deputy consulate in Chudu. If he wanted to make a difference in Kikawa, he had to get the support of the deputy consulate.

Taro Hashimoto was still the business counselor of the deputy consulate. Although the vice consulate was located in Chudu, Taro Hashimoto was very familiar with the economy, politics and culture of the entire province, and was also familiar with officials from major cities and cities across the province. He once worked as a special research on Zhu Daidong.

Two years ago, in order to get the recipe for Furong Prefecture Wuming Kangle, Japan cooperated with Koji Nakamura and Yuzo Yano, and wanted to invite the leaders of Kunan Province to use administrative means to ask Wuming Company to sell the recipe or give it to Japan. However, the Deputy Governor Gao Shengheng, who came forward to them at the time, not only did not cause this incident, but was investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for accepting bribes.

It is precisely thanks to Gao Shengheng's resignation that Yan Pengfei was able to jump from the Minister of Transportation to the Vice Governor of Gunan Province. Zhu Daidong actually made great efforts in Yan Pengfei's case, and he was also a key figure. However, Yan Pengfei still doesn't know that the reason why he stood out from the full-time department-level cadres in the province was closely related to his son-in-law.

Whether internally or externally, the Japanese are much more united than the Chinese. Moreover, Taro Hashimoto's main responsibility is to serve the Japanese expatriates and merchants in Konan Province. Junichi Saito wants to open up the relationship between Mugawa City, so he certainly wants to provide intelligence services without hesitation.

"Saito, this matter is very tricky. It may be difficult for you to achieve your goal by persuading Zhu Daidong." Taro Hashimoto sighed and said. His official contact with Zhu Daidong was the same one last year. But it was after that contact that Zhu Daidong left a deep impression on him.

In the Chinese officialdom, Zhu Daidong is an alien. According to his inference, officials like Zhu Daidong should not go far. He used to be the county party committee of Furong County. Taro Hashimoto thought that Zhu Daidong would not leave Furong County before he was forty years old. However, he did not expect that after just one year, Zhu Daidong was transferred to Chudu and worked in the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department for three months before he achieved a gorgeous turn.

After the arrival of Zhu Daidong, Chu City's economic development is changing with each passing day, Chu City's state-owned assets have flourished, and foreign enterprises are also in Chu City. Now, the social security, investment environment, policies and regulations of Chu City have formed a good investment atmosphere.

But what surprised him was that the new mayor of Chu City, Ou Puban, seemed to be unable to see these advantages of Chu Du. He only valued such investment projects with large investments and high returns. There were even several polluting companies that were introduced to Chu Du by Ou Puban. This made him both regret and happy. Unfortunately, Ou Puban wasted a great opportunity, and what was happy was that he could help Ou Puban introduce a group of companies that could no longer survive in Japan.

"Hashimoto, listen to your tone. Have you ever had contact with Ju Daidong before?" said Junichi Saito.

"Yes, that's what happened two years ago. At that time, Nakamura Yoshino and Yumiko Yano wanted to introduce Wuming Kangle to our country and achieve domestic production, but because of Zhu Daidong's obstacles, this matter ultimately failed." Taro Hashimoto said. Afterwards, he thought of many ways to introduce Wuming Kangle to Japan, but Wuming Company could sell products to Japan, but Wuming did not negotiate with anyone about Wuming Kangle's formula.

"Which Wuming Kangle was talking to Zhu Daidong?" Junichi Saito said in surprise. He knew about this, but he didn't expect that it also had something to do with Zhu Daidong.

"At that time, Zhu Daidong's tone was very tough, and Furong Prefecture controlled the formula and raw materials of Wuming Kangle very strictly, which led to my country spending a lot of money to buy Wuming Kangle every year." Taro Hashimoto said that Wuming Kangle has very good effects, Japan's life pace is very fast, and the Japanese are under great pressure, so Japanese men are extremely needing to rely on these drugs to stimulate physiological needs. Because of the existence of Wuming Kangle, Chinese traditional medicine has also become popular in Japan, which makes some Japanese research institutions such as the Hehan Pharmaceutical Research Institute very helpless. He was severely condemned by the country. If it weren't for his good performance in other aspects, he would have been transferred back to China long ago.

"Do you know other officials in Mugawa City?" Jun Saito asked. In China, if you don't know the complex relationships of government officials, you should not want to communicate well with them at all.

"Zhou Baoning, secretary of the municipal party committee of Muchuan City, is an official with rigid thinking and stubborn conservative thinking. Under his influence, Muchuan City officials lack innovation and enterprising spirit. If the Muchuan smelter can really sell indium for 4 million US dollars per ton, then Zhu Daidong's behavior will be unanimously recognized by Muchuan. But if the indium in the Muchuan smelter cannot be sold for a ton, and even the price of indium in the international market is falling, then Zhu Daidong's behavior will be strongly opposed by others." said Taro Hashimoto.

He knew about the main officials of the major cities of Gunan Province, such as Chudu, Muchuan, Tanshui, Yanggen, Guyin and Shachang. As long as there are Japanese-funded enterprises in the local area, he would use excuses to interact with them. He also tried to find ways to communicate with some senior officials in Gunan Province. For example, he often appeared in some high-end hotels and private clubs that officials often visited. The main purpose was to get to know more government officials.

"As far as I know, Zhu Daidong has just arrived in Mukawa not long ago, and he has no political opponents?" said Taro Hashimoto. No matter which party, even if it is like China's one-party dictatorship, there is no real unity. If China has maintained a high degree of unity and positive attitude since its founding, it is probably now possible that the whole world will be able to follow China's leader.

"There must be opponents, but because Zhu Daidong just arrived in Mukawa, his opponents are still hiding well. We are not people within the system, so it is difficult to know the details." Taro Hashimoto sighed. The complexity of the Chinese officialdom is that even if he has lived in China for more than ten years, he cannot understand many things. Especially the ambiguous words that Chinese officials sometimes say make people feel like they are in a fog.

"It seems that the most urgent task is to find a helper in Mukawa City." Junichi Saito said. He was really not sure about dealing with Zhu Daidong. The other party's attitude was very tough. Moreover, the Japanese Foreign Ministry submitted a diplomatic note to China this time, but it has no result until now. In the morning, Zhu Daidong also talked about the indium mine in South Korea. He was ecstatic at that time, but when he looked back, Zhu Daidong probably had more ridicule than doubts.

"If there is really no way, you can only try one official and one official like a Chinese businessman. As long as anyone supports you in purchasing indium and guarantees a low price, that person is the target you are fighting for." Taro Hashimoto said that many of China's policies, on the surface, are strictly controlled. But only those officials know that many policies actually leave loopholes, or even leave loopholes.

When these policies were formulated, these officials participated in it. They must have thought of all kinds of interests at that time. Now when they are implemented, as long as they are willing, they can easily break all obstacles.

"Although this method is slow, it will definitely work." Jun Saito thought about it. There might be no way to do this.

"In addition to internal reasons, you also have to cooperate from the outside. Did the National Security Commission approve the plan to reduce the price of indium from the national reserve base to suppress the price of indium in China?" Taro Hashimoto asked, a few years ago, Japan formulated relevant laws to include some rare metals in strategic materials and proposed to focus on reserves. The output of indium is already low. In recent years, Japan has cooperated with enterprises to purchase sporadically and batches from various Chinese enterprises. In addition to being used by enterprises, the national reserve base already has nearly 200 tons of indium. If one hundred tons of indium is taken out now, it can indeed suppress the price of indium in the international market, but this requires the approval of the National Security Commission.

"The people from the Security Committee must be still holding meetings and discussing them. It can be imagined that some people will definitely curse and make me worthless." Junichi Saito sighed and said. It is not easy to take out half of the strategic materials involved in national security.

"These are the people who delay the matter. Let's do this. I'll submit a report to Tokyo to help you urge you from the side." Taro Hashimoto said. As the deputy consulate's business counselor, he submitted a report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was quite heavy. After all, he was in Chudu and was very close to Mukawa.

"Thank you, Hashimoto!" Junichi Saito stood up, saluted Taro Hashimoto, and said sincerely.

"It's all for Japan, and you have worked hard, Saito," said Taro Hashimoto. The reason why Japan can become a world power is due to the selfless dedication and unity of these Chinese people. This is something that the Chinese will never be able to compare with.

Just when Taro Hashimoto and Junichi Saito discussed and asked Japan to sell 100 tons of indium, Zhu Daidong was also contacting Li Guangsheng and Peng Wei to let their overseas companies pay close attention to the indium price in the international market. Zhu Daidong invested in the Unknown Formula with Unknown Formula, and his annual dividend was more than 15,000 yuan. It has been more than two years since Wuming Company opened. The funds of more than 300 million yuan have been kept by the Furong County Finance Bureau, but the right to use has always been in the hands of Zhu Daidong. Now he is preparing to use this money to sweep the indium in the international market!
