344 Cabinet meetings

At this time, the pressure on the Hijima government can be imagined.

Especially Xiao Peixiang, dealing with this Japan-China dispute was enough to give him a headache. The ambiguous attitude of the people of the United States made it clear that they did not want to offend Huaxia too much at this time, and it was a fantasy to let Ridao now face Huaxia alone.

However, although the disputes between countries gave Xiao Pei a headache, he was not at a loss. After all, peace and exhibition are still the theme of modern society, and it is absolutely impossible for this dispute between Japan and China to rise to the height of war.

Moreover, the diplomatic strategy that China has always pursued is not too aggressive. Therefore, as long as this matter drags on for a while, it will always be forgotten by everyone.

But Tianshu Group's statement is different.

As an island nation, the island's resources can be said to be extremely poor, and 90 percent of its resources rely on imports. However, relying on Da's manufacturing industry, Nichishima's products are quite competitive in the world, and relying on the output of these products, Hijima has sufficient funds to continue to purchase more resources for its own use.

This is a virtuous circle, so Hijima is more sensitive to economic conditions than the other six countries. If Nichishima wants to survive and exhibit, it must ensure that the local manufacturing industry is in the leading position in the international community, so Hijima's industrial base is also quite advanced in the world.

Therefore, this meeting of Tianshu Group can be said to have hit the lifeblood of Hishima.

Without the supply of ice-core batteries, it is enough to hit the electronics manufacturing industry of Hishimada hard, not to mention that Tianshu Group has also comprehensively lowered the price of ice-core batteries. This is a suppression of the bottom of the kettle, so how does Nichishima's electronic products compete with other international brands?

Even large companies like Apple have been slumped under the continuous suppression of Tianshu Group. What's more, there is no benchmark company in the electronics manufacturing industry on the island of Japan like Apple.

Not to mention the complete unilateral termination of other cooperation contracts.

Although it is not explicitly mentioned, it is basically recognized all over the world that Tianshu Group has mastered the world's most advanced technology involving a variety of industries. Many manufacturing industries in Japan Island completely relied on the favorable situation of tense relations between the United States and Tianshu Group at that time. Coupled with its own solid industrial foundation, it has pulled down many contracts for cooperation with Tianshu Group.

Others say that they are talking about business, but who knows that Tianshu Group does not take this principle into account at all, and directly and unilaterally terminates all cooperation contracts with Hijima, which brings extremely huge intangible losses to Hijima. Not to mention that in the long term, these local enterprises on the island of Japan may lose some of the most competitive products in the world, but the recent large amount of investment has been wasted, and in addition to the sharp drop in the stock market, many high-tech enterprises on the island of Japan have fallen into a financial crisis in just one day.

This touched not only the interests of ordinary people, but also the interests of a group of invisible consortia on the island of Japan. This also directly caused the two interest groups in the political arena of Japan and Island to begin to divide further. The contradiction is even more acute, in this era when science and technology are the primary productive forces, the economic benefits brought by leading science and technology are too huge, and the losses suffered in the case of backward science and technology are even more bearable. Especially for Nishima, a resource-poor country, the economy is a top priority.

Now there seems to be only two paths in front of this Hijima minister.

Either bow their heads and apologize like the Chinese people, save the contracts that may be lost, and ensure the normal economy of the island of Japan; Either continue to be tough.

Choosing the former would be a regression of his policy program, and would isolate him from the right-leaning political group that pushed him to power; Choosing the latter is not much better, not only in the face of a possible economic downturn. His approval ratings will also be greatly reduced. However, the sudden action of the Tianshu Group did not give him a middle way at all, and did not even give him a step to go down. And it is impossible for him to take the initiative to ask for a direct call with the boss of a private enterprise in China who is obviously hostile to Japan, right? Although this enterprise is already recognized as the world's number one high-tech company.

Therefore, Xiao Pei, who was holding a cabinet meeting, was not ordinary at this time.

"Let's talk about how to deal with the current situation! Miyazawa. First of all, let's report on how much loss may be caused by the unilateral termination of Huaxia Tianshu Group! Xiao Pei first pointed to the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry by name.

"Yes! According to the latest statistics, this time the Chinese unilaterally terminated the contract. It will bring huge losses to 18 companies, including Nikon, Sony, Canon, Toyota, and Mitsubishi, and the direct economic losses have already exceeded 130 billion yen. The indirect losses will be more than 500 billion yen, not including the losses of these companies in the stock market. ”

"Also. If Huaxia Tianshu Group really uses these technologies to cooperate with other companies that compete with us in Japan, as they say, then the losses suffered by these companies in the future are simply immeasurable. Minister Miyazawa directly gave a specific answer that made Xiao Pei even more headache.

"Chinese people can't do that! This is a complete betrayal of the spirit of modern business, how can they be so disobedient to the spirit of the contract! After listening to the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry's report, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said angrily.

"But they've already done it!" Miyazawa shrugged helplessly and said, "At that time, in order to get these technologies, our company promised too many harsh terms. We only see the huge benefits of these technologies, but we ignore the shackles that these technologies bring to us. But who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen to our company while it was still in the preparatory stage, if this matter was born one to two years later, and these technologies had already produced results in our company, the Chinese people would not be able to threaten us with these technologies. Of course, the contract is not the most important thing, but even if our company sues them, it will definitely not be supported, after all, these technologies are still in the hands of that Huaxia company. ”

"Or we should immediately restrict the employees of Tianshu Group from leaving the country, they are all suspected of economic fraud in the island!" The Foreign Secretary continued.

"It's late, according to Tian Jun, in fact, yesterday, the main senior managers of Tianshu Group in Ridao have returned to China in various names, and now the main people who stay on Ridao are locally recruited employees, as well as some grassroots staff who deal with the aftermath, and controlling them to leave the country is meaningless at all except to further intensify the conflict with Huaxia." The Minister of Justice replied helplessly.

"So what are we going to do? Is it really the initiative to compromise with the Chinese government? That means that we may lose our sovereignty over the Turtle Islands, and all of us here will be sinners in the history of Hijima! The Foreign Minister said in a muffled voice.

"Before we get to this point, I have one more piece of material to report here!" The Minister of Labor, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "Miyazawa-kun only reported the economic losses just now, and I must emphasize that if these contracts are really annulled, it will directly affect the employment of more than 80,000 Japanese people, and at least 120,000 jobs will be lost." According to expert analysis, one year later, the unemployment rate may exceed 8 percent, two percentage points above the warning line, and two years later it is likely to reach more than 10 percent! ”

The Secretary of Labour's debriefing caused an embarrassing silence at the meeting. It's embarrassing that these new technologies should be in the hands of the people of Hijima, who have the most solid industrial base in the world, but these epoch-making technologies don't belong to them.

"Also, the upgraded virtual connectivity will benefit hundreds of millions of people with disabilities, which will be something that all countries will have to consider. If the whole world starts to accept the virtual Internet of Tianshu Group, and Hijima is excluded, we will be completely isolated in the Internet Mountain. We don't know how determined Tianshu Group will be to make this statement and how long it will last, but these are unfavorable factors. The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications suddenly spoke in silence.

"So should we compromise with the Chinese? Then give up fishing for the turtle islands and give it to the Chinese people! But you have to remember what a shame this decision will bring us. All our efforts have been in vain. The Foreign Secretary couldn't help but speak.

"According to Tian Jun, it's not right for you to say that! Temporary concession is not the same as giving up, just now Miyazawa-kun also said, what we need is time, and when this batch of technology forms a productive force in Hishima, then the Chinese people will no longer have the power to shackle us, and at that time we are not the same force? Why risk the economic downturn now and fight with the Chinese people? Do you have to see the economic recession of Hijima before you are willing? According to Tian Jun, your thinking is too extreme! Taro Aso, the current vice minister of Hijima, suddenly said in a loud voice.

"Alright, let's stop talking!" After saying a word, Xiao Pei, who had been silent, finally spoke again. He raised his hand and said a little tiredly: "We must temporarily reconcile with the Huaxia people, and I will take the initiative to communicate this matter with the Huaxia government to recover our losses in this way." ”

"In addition, we need to be ashamed and courageous. Today, this is not just about getting the technology of the Chinese people. We also need to further increase investment in high-tech based on the technology of the Chinese people, so that our technology can be re-introduced to China in the near future, and we must not let the events of today repeat themselves, do you understand? ”

Xiao Pei finally made a choice, and it was the most helpless choice. (To be continued!)
