"Hey, that's true! It seems that because it was the Chinese who built the road before, the local residents called all the outsiders who came to them China! Before that, it was completely isolated, and even the language they spoke was incomprehensible to most Ethiopians. But...... Because of the road construction, the local guide can talk to me in simple Chinese. Fortunately...... My middle Chinese was okay, and I was barely able to communicate with the local people......"

Hearing Sakurako's patient explanation, Miyuki Morino nodded a little clearly, and then she said to Sakurako with a confident smile:

"Actually...... I have another way here, I don't know if it will work for you!"

Seeing that Miyuki Morino suddenly had a new way, Kirihara Soji couldn't help but ask her with some curiosity:

"Do you have a solution? Does your Ministry of the Environment also have interest-free loans that you can provide to the boss?"

"I'm sorry, but we have limited funds and we have to spend it on environment-related businesses, so we ...... You can't give an interest-free loan to Sakurako-sama!"

"Really, what's the use of that!"

Kirihara Soji couldn't help but ask with some puzzlement.

"But...... If we can provide the Ethiopian government with aid to protect the existing ecology of that area, will the local government not be able to develop the land for economic purposes?"

"Huh?"

"Can this be done?"

"Hey, but we still need the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to make a request to us, and ...... We need to get the Ethiopian government to designate that land as a protected area, so that we can provide the relevant funds to their government. ”

"Wait a minute, how can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ......"

Just when Seiichi Hasa was a little puzzled and asked Kono Shohei for confirmation, Kono-kun suddenly glanced at Morino Aesthetics meaningfully, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"It's a possibility, because the locals call all outsiders China, I think...... The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't swallow this breath no matter what!"

As soon as Shohei Kono's voice fell, Miyuki Morino continued to add:

"And it's the border between Ethiopia and South Sudan, and the road has just been built, so it sounds like a pretty sensitive area!"

"So if it is designated as an environmental protection zone, it means that no one can further develop the land, but the Ethiopian government can get foreign aid funds without doing anything, so I think the Ethiopian government will be happy to accept this proposal."

Shohei Kono and Miyuki Morino discussed it in harmony like this, and soon a complete plan was brewing and maturing in Shohei Kono's heart.

……

"Wait a minute, what you're talking about is very lively, but what does it have to do with Sakurako's coffee!"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard that Miyuki Morino and Shohei Kono seemed to be planning some conspiracy, he couldn't help but ask them with some displeasure.

"Actually...... I've been a little inspired by what you just said!"

Just as Lin Xiuyi wanted to bring the topic back on track, Kirihara Soji, who had never expressed any constructive opinions, suddenly raised his hand, and then said solemnly to everyone.

"Kirihara-san, you ...... too"

"If the Ministry of the Environment is willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I think the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will be equally interested."

"Huh?"

……

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Kirihara Soji couldn't help but explain to everyone with some pride:

"Since Chinese already has such a huge impact on the ground, I want to ...... The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will never be subservient! But I think it's better to build a highway with the help of the Japanese government...... Maybe it would be better for Japanese companies to buy the local forests!"

"Mr. Kirihara, what do you mean...... Is it possible that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will be able to solve Sakurako's financial problem?"

Hearing Kirihara's explanation, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little incredulous and asked.

"If it weren't for the Chinese road, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry might not be interested there, but now...... By the way, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Sakurako is probably the only Japanese who has ever interacted with the locals, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry provides a certain amount of assistance to those economically underdeveloped countries every year, but most of them require ties to Japanese companies, and if you want to open up the market there, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will definitely spare no effort to help you, stimulated by investment from neighboring countries!"

"I also remembered that next week the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will organize an economic and trade delegation to Ethiopia, Miss Sakurako, you should be interested!"

"I ...... Can I really do it? The economic and trade delegation or something, it should be a big trading company to participate!"

"Not necessarily, Ethiopia is one of the least developed countries in the world, so the big trading companies in the country still pay little attention to it, and only some resource companies will pay attention to that country, but the trade between the two countries is still at a low level. So Miss Sakurako definitely has the strength to join this economic and trade delegation, how about it, is Miss Sakurako interested?"

Hearing Kono Shohei's invitation, Kirihara Soji couldn't help but say with some excitement:

As long as you can join this economic and trade delegation, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will definitely provide you with funds, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"And if you can really run a business there without damaging the environment there, I think the Ministry of the Environment can also provide some financial assistance, and of course, trade missions and other things are also very important references!"

"Ah...... If all goes well, you can apply for interest-free loans and crop supplements from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, which is great!"

……

Hearing the conversation of these colleagues in the study meeting, Lin Xiuyi had already been stunned by their various investments, interest-free loans and subsidies at this time, so he couldn't help but ask everyone with some puzzlement:

"Wait a minute, if you follow the plan you discussed, Sakurako will need to borrow money from the bank to buy that forest!"

"Financing? There is no need for this at all, if it is done properly, Miss Sakurako will soon have a large amount of money in her hands, and these funds are originally money that is fighting with the governments of neighboring countries, even if it is all lost, it has nothing to do with it, so ...... Why don't you let Miss Sakurako do something meaningful!"

……

Just when Lin Xiuyi was impressed by Lin Xiuyi's operation of these guys, Mr. Kitamura, who had always served as a background board with Lin Xiuyi, suddenly cleared his throat, and then said to Sakurako with some embarrassment:

"That...... I'm sorry! Actually, I suddenly remembered some ways to help you, that ...... If you'd like, I can put an ad in Sakura-no-Sato on the official social media account of the Tourism Agency's tourism promotion...... I wonder what you think?"
