Chapter 233: Another Stage

"I heard that your country's sword saint Mr. Yanagi and His Royal Highness Princess Leilani will make an appointment to fight again in November?"

Fang Guang, the Red Flag ambassador to Japan, stood with Minister Hita of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a smile, and the two casually chatted about the international situation and interesting stories between the two countries.

"Yes, probably that god felt that he was a little unwilling to fail in the martial soul duel last time. I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has broken through the limits of mortals and become a demigod comparable to the first generation of Artoria!"

Hikaru Hida is a short, stocky middle-aged woman who always has a smile on her face, even when arguing with people.

"Ah! What interesting things are the two leading comrades talking about?" The person who came over was the head of the Kujo Seki Castle of the Tokyo Affairs Group, and he also had a secret identity as the deputy director of the Japanese National Security Bureau.

"Kujo-kun, why are you here, aren't you accompanying His Highness Li?" Hitatsuru asked with a smile.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of England are gossiping, and the women's affairs are making the men go away. ”

"Hahaha, the beautiful man Kujo-kun also had a day when he was expelled by the girls!"

"Now that I'm an old man, where can I still be called a beautiful man? ”

As he spoke, Kujou Seki pointed to a small group of people near the window.

"The relationship between the Yanagi family and the British royal family is very close, and every time the British royal family comes to Japan, they will inevitably invite members of the Yanagi family to attend. ”

Hita glanced at it, and there was a young couple in the crowd, it was Yagyu and Shima, who had been quite active recently, and they looked almost like a pair of students who had just graduated from school.

"Those two are the parents of the Yanagi Sword Saint, right? They look young, and they can't tell that they already have a son who has become a Sword Saint!

By the way, Hita-kun, China's Ministry of Culture is very concerned about your country's kendo culture, and believes that your country's kendo culture is a very important cultural business card in the oriental civilization.

I hope that one day in the future, the Yanagi Sword Master will be able to visit our country and do an exchange in kendo culture. ”

Envoy Fang Guangda said to Minister Feitian with a smile.

As the Red Banner's ambassador to Japan, he was of course also responsible for some of the intelligence gathering work. Of course, this kind of intelligence gathering is not something to be seen, and the sources of intelligence are generally published news, newspapers and magazines.

The military attachΓ© of the embassy is responsible for collecting the semi-public and semi-confidential information, which is separate from the powers and responsibilities of the ambassador.

As for the more classified intelligence channels, they are completely isolated from the embassy and belong to the underground work.

And the attention level of the Japanese sword saint Yanagi Yuanhe was raised by six levels in the first half of the year, close to the level of the Japanese minister of ministry.

And he talked about this sword master with Minister Hita today, also to convey a message to the Japanese side - Chiqi hopes that this Japanese sword master had better focus on promoting Japanese kendo culture, and don't do your job unprofessionally, what kind of killers, assassins, and special fighters!

This is mainly due to the fact that the Red Flag side has recently obtained a piece of information about the British god, the eldest princess Leilani.

This princess actually disguised herself (in fact, as soon as she started, everyone knew about it) to participate in a raid mission of the Guardians of the Round Table, in this mission, the power of the demigods simply blinded the titanium eyes of a group of special assault operations experts!

You know, the Human Defenders Group's core laboratory in Canada has the highest security rating of Diamond, which means that the lab is completely safe without the use of a large army to run it over.

Even if it is the core laboratory of the Red Flag Academy of Sciences, its security level is almost this level.

The reason why it is said to be about this level is because Dongfang has its own set of security rating system, and the highest level is called 'Nine Places'.

However, no matter how strict the protection measures are, they are all aimed at human beings, and as a result, in the fragment surveillance video obtained by Chiqi through special channels, the attack method shown by this demigod is not human at all!

The 1.1-meter-thick alloy gate does not have any locks at all, and can only be opened by the insiders using a pulley mechanism, and it takes at least five minutes for the insiders to open the door in a step-by-step manner.

And five minutes is enough to destroy critical data.

However, the surveillance video that was not destroyed inside showed that the demigod was holding a big sword and digging a hole in the door!

If the 'demigods of the west' threw themselves into a special operation and caused such terrible consequences, what about the 'sword saints of the east'? Even the younger brother of the traditional allies, Chiqi does not want to see Japan come up with any weapons of mass destruction similar to nuclear weapons.

Of course, if it can be shared, that's another way of saying it.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The group of people where Yanagi and the island couple are are actually marginal people at today's banquet.

The so-called hierarchy of people is divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and this kind of hierarchy is especially clear in Japan.

Today's party is actually a relatively high-end business exchange meeting between Europe and the Asian Community.

Of course, at this level, especially Oriental people, will not say business nakedly, but very euphemistically said that today's party is a welcome party, welcoming European friends from afar.

And Leilani, as the eldest princess of the United Kingdom, is naturally among them, and she did not forget to invite the Yagyu and Shima couples - if they only follow the beauty club of the clean water company and Masako Minamida, they are really not qualified to participate in this level of high-end exchange meetings.

Therefore, although he was excluded to the corner of the window because of his status, Yagyu and Shima were still very satisfied - among the people who were also excluded from the corner, the others were all business tycoons that Yagyu and Shima could not reach on weekdays.

However, business tycoons are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

"Liu Shengjun, the clean water has been really impressive recently!" The one who came over to speak was a Japanese man who was sixty years old and slightly bowed.

Seeing that it was this one who came over, Yagyu and the group of people bowed and saluted.

"Ah, President Light Source, you are too awarded, this is just a small achievement, where can you afford such a compliment?" Yagyu Kazushima hurriedly bowed again: "You are the god of management in the Japanese business community! Light Source Co., Ltd. has become the conscience of the Japanese business community, and it is your merit!"

The president of the light source is one of the giants of the Japanese business world, and the light source company is a company with a history of more than 150 years, which is far from being comparable to clean water.

As for the status of the two in the Japanese business world, it is probably equivalent to the gap between a high-ranking official and a village head, and it is unlikely that Yanagi and Shima would want to see this person on a normal occasion.

Now that the giant took the initiative to come and talk to him, Yagyu Kazushima was of course a little flattered.

"Haha, Yanagi-kun, you're fine with everything else, but you're just too modest. I've seen your experience, and the future life is terrifying!" I laughed out loud, today he specially lowered his dignity and came to find Yanagi and Island, but he didn't come to listen to Yanagi and Island's compliments.

The main business scope of Light Source Co., Ltd. is urban construction (real estate developers and builders), environmental maintenance, greening, garbage sorting and disposal, etc.

Among them, the urban construction industry was originally the main source of profit for Light Source Co., Ltd., but as the expansion of Japanese cities has gradually stopped in recent years, this part of the income has begun to decline.

A lot of people are waiting to see their jokes.

However, under the leadership of this light source into me, Light Source Co., Ltd. invested a large amount of money into the relatively small profit environmental maintenance, urban greening and garbage sorting and treatment industries, through acquisitions, stock exchanges and the establishment of new companies, gradually construction, maintenance, cleaning and sanitation and urban waste recycling and reuse, into a complete industrial chain.

Today, the corporate purpose of Light Source Co., Ltd. is to 'provide a happy life and build a beautiful home'.

Eight years ago, the Emperor was awarded the Business Ethics Model Award by the Emperor for improving the business performance of the company while the main industry as a whole was cold, and for his outstanding contribution to Japanese society.

This is a legend in the Japanese business world.

In recent years, the EU and the CAC have become closer and closer. Both business cooperation and political visits are becoming more frequent.

This is related to the economic rise of the Americas, which gradually surpassed the European Union and became the world's latest economic hegemon.

The European Union was originally the center of the world's banking and financial industry, but in recent years, the center of the world economy has shifted, and the contradictory relationship between the EU and Citi has naturally been highlighted when money flows to Citi.

As for the sub-community, it is a relatively economically backward region.

As the last few Union countries to come out of feudal society and catch up with the last train of modernization, they are not yet qualified to get a piece of fat in the world's fattest financial field.

However, with the rise of the Asian Community, mainly the development of red flag manufacturing and large-scale infrastructure construction, it has a faint reputation as the 'world's factory' - and gradually competed with the European Union and Citigroup, becoming the world's three poles.

The triangle is the most stable flat structure, and the European Union, Citigroup, and the Asian Community, consciously or unconsciously, maintain this equilibrium.

Citi is now one step ahead of the curve in Internet technology, supporting cutting-edge manufacturing industries such as chips, high-definition displays and aerospace technology, and is leading the way in the world.

Seeing that Citi wants to go to the sky, as the original boss of Citi, what will the EU think?

Of course, they will pull you by your feet and neck, and pull you down from the sky!

Regardless of whether it is the same race or not, in order to make money, Citi has also played a black hand against the previous boss, and in the Gulf region in order to fight for control of oil, the white gloves on both sides are almost out of people's brains.

It seems that the yellow race is more kind. At least people are honestly engaged in construction on their own territory, and they don't come out to grab land with everyone!

After a come-and-go, the EU and the AICA got better.

The light source Cheng Cheng came to Yagyu and Ishima, of course, not specifically to come and praise him.

The performance of clean water companies over the years has been truly impressive, and when Tokyo implemented a direct drinking water program, almost all the manufacturers and companies that produced household filters went out of business.

The few surviving manufacturers have also completely transformed and changed their main business.

Only this clean water company has bucked the trend and deepened its market exploration, and through a series of mergers and acquisitions, patent presentations, and new product launches, it has not only turned the tide of the crisis, but also established itself as the market leader in seawater purification and wastewater treatment in Tokyo.

Two years ago, I also ordered a market research to acquire this promising company and integrate the water treatment business into the overall business chain of the company.

At that time, he had sent his subordinates to contact Yagyu and Island, but Yanagi and Island did not agree to sell, so the light source and I made a hostile takeover decision, but just when the shares were collected more than five percent, a heavyweight came to the door and issued a clear warning to him, forcing the light source to give up the compulsory acquisition plan.

Strictly speaking, Light Source Co., Ltd. is also a shareholder of the clean water company.

"Yanagi-kun, let's talk over there?" I pointed to a set of sofas near the corner.

"Good. ”

"Liu Shengjun, to tell you the truth, the development of our Light Source Co., Ltd. has reached a bottleneck stage. The market within Japan is saturated for us. ”

I greeted a waiter, took two glasses of red wine, and said, "Now is the time to go out of Japan, I want to cooperate with you to develop the European market, what do you think?"

"Senior Light Source, I would like to know why you chose me as a partner? Commercially, my company is not qualified to cooperate with Light Source Co., Ltd., right?"

Yanagi Kazushima asked respectfully, this light source Cheng has a very good reputation in the Japanese shopping mall, he pursues a win-win business philosophy, and the companies he cooperates with can often get more fair treatment and rich profits.

But in other words, working with him is not something that cats and dogs can do.

"Haha, brother, it's too presumptuous, the potential of the clean water company is obvious to all, of course it is qualified to cooperate with us.

But in the future, we will cooperate for a long time, so brother, I will be honest with you.

Your company is too specialized to face a small market, and projects like wastewater treatment and desalination are generally government actions, so there is not much you can do.

But in Europe, you can do so much more when you combine your water treatment business with our light source building capabilities. Nowadays, most cities in Europe have aging public facilities, such as direct drinking water, and even in the capitals of European countries, not every city has them.

What's more, most of their urban buildings are old, and it is necessary to renovate urban buildings and build modern towns. This is a very potential market!

Well, you have a good relationship with the British royal family, you can talk, and you have the title of Lord of England, you say, the ideal partner here, who am I not looking for you?"
