Chapter 11 Operation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
"Yasuda-senpai!"
"Yasuda-senpai!"
……
In the corridor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office building, Shinsuke Yasuda heard his name being called behind him, so he hurriedly stopped his steps.
"Uh...... Kono-kun, it's been a long time, may I ask...... Is there something going on?"
"Hey, I'm really sorry, Yasuda-senpai, actually...... I have something I want to ask you for, may I ask...... Do you have time now?"
"Huh...... Please, I'll go over there!"
Hearing that Shohei Kono seemed to have something to help him with, Shinsuke Yasuda hurriedly pulled him to the side of the reception room, and then closed the door. It was only at this time that Shinsuke Yasuda asked Shohei Kono with some curiosity:
"What the hell is going on, it won't be a tricky trouble!"
"Of course it's not a senior, I just want to consult with you about the economic and trade delegation to Ethiopia this time...... Are there any vacancies?"
"Huh...... Why did you suddenly ask about this? To be honest, I still have a headache about it?"
"It's a pity, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to cause trouble to you again!"
As Kono Shohei spoke, he stood up and was about to say goodbye to Shinsuke Yasuda, but at this moment, Shinsuke Yasuda suddenly waved his hand and said to Shohei Kono:
"It's not for nothing...... There is no one willing to go at all, and now there is less than half a month left before this economic and trade exchange, but less than 20 enterprises have signed up for the economic and trade delegation, to be honest, everyone is not very optimistic about the country of Ethiopia, the local economy is too underdeveloped, and it is no wonder that everyone is not very interested in this economic and trade inspection!"
"Huh...... That is to say...... You've got a spot on your hand, right?"
"Hmm...... I advise you to give up, because it is one of the least developed countries in the world recognized by the United Nations, and there is nothing worth investing in except for some natural resources and some value, do you know what I mean?"
"I know this, but my friend really needs the opportunity to participate in this economic and trade delegation, by the way, I heard that this time the Ethiopian Prime Minister will also meet with the members of the delegation, right?"
"That's for sure, after all, we're going with a lot of money......! Ethiopia is a multi-ethnic country, and the presence of the government in some areas is actually very weak, so even if you have the opportunity to be received by the prime minister, it is not 100% useful!"
Hearing Shinsuke Yasuda's bitter admonition, Shohei Kono couldn't help but feel a little worried about Sakurako's plan. But...... In order to be able to help Sakurako realize her dream as soon as possible, Kono Shohei still tried his best to fight for Sakurako:
"Senior, to tell you the truth, I have a friend who has a good relationship with her who runs a coffee business, and this time she wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the economic and trade delegation organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to visit Ethiopia and go there to see if she can buy the forest ...... in the Bench-Maji area."
"Is Bench-Maji the area close to South Sudan? If I'm not mistaken, it's mainly inhabited?? Meanit Aborigines, it's a fairly closed area, are you sure...... Is your friend really going to invest over there?"
"Hey, I hope you can help her!"
"How did you end up in such a remote place? It's so worrying, I don't care about it...... If anyone is willing to invest in that kind of savage area where birds don't, I guess...... The Ethiopian government should be happy!"
"Eh, it seems like it's easy to hear from my seniors! But...... Isn't it close to South Sudan? Could it be ...... What's the safety risk?"
Hearing Shohei Kono's concern, Shinsuke Yasuda shook his head with a smile, and then explained to his junior, who had a good relationship:
"Bench-Maji borders South Sudan, but it's still a large area of untouched primary forest, and the indigenous people speak a language that no one else understands. The Meanit indigenous people have nothing to do with South Sudan. ”
"But...... Isn't South Sudan rich in oil......? Isn't Bench-Maji a very important strategic area?"
"Strategic area? Haha, don't be funny, Ethiopia is a landlocked country, and it is an extremely underdeveloped country! No matter how you look at it, South Sudan's oil will not be transported to Ethiopia to the sea!"
After listening to Nobusuke Yasuda's introduction, Shohei Kono gradually became a little sure in his heart, so he asked Shinsuke Yasuda about the aid loan related to the economic and trade delegation.
"Senior, may I ask...... This aid loan ...... If possible, can you give my friend some care?"
"This one...... Of course, you have to take care of it, but these interest-free loans are investments made to help Japanese companies open up the local market, so what kind of business does your friend plan to do there?"
Her plan was to run a coffee plantation business in Bench-Maji, so she needed some money to invest in the local land. ”
Shohei Kono briefly said Sakurako's plan, and he saw that Shinsuke Yasuda hesitated slightly, and then nodded and said:
"In that case, it's easy, don't worry, I still have some friendship with Ambassador Saito over there, and this matter shouldn't be too difficult......
"Can you take the liberty of asking, may I ask...... Can I get a $1 million loan?"
"1 million?"
"Why, isn't it okay, senior?"
"It's not that it can't be, it's too little!"
"Huh?"
"In any case, I want to introduce it to the business people of the head of the Ethiopian government! 1 million US dollars, you can't think of it......"
"What do you mean ...... senior?"
"10 million! That should be enough!"
"10 million? Is it all interest-free loans?"
"By the way, give me your friend's information as soon as possible, and if I can, I'll ask my colleagues in the concierge department to give her some necessary foreign affairs training, this is a foreign affairs event, do you understand?"
"Understood, senior, thank you so much!"
Kono Shohei stood up happily and saluted Shinsuke Yasuda, and when the two came out of the conference room, Kono Shohei said goodbye to Yasuda seniors and couldn't wait to tell Sakurako the good news.
