Chapter 262, the mutual benefit of the staggered bargains
"Miss Miyamoto, the old man will do it here first."
"Minister, please feel free."
Mito Aoyama smiled at the Minister of Defense, and just as she was about to raise her glass, there was a knock on the side sliding door of the dining room: "Excuse me!" ”
The old man in the kimono drank the sake in the cup, waved his hand and smiled, "Look at your politeness, Shinji, we heard your footsteps earlier, hurry in." ”
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a black and red face humbly walked into the room and greeted Minister Kishida and Mito successively. The Japanese-style room is not large, but it is enough for three people, and there are exactly three plates of cold dishes on the square table, and the tuna belly is held in hand, and it seems that there is almost a singer singing next to it.
"Minister, please pay more attention to your health."
But after seeing that the boss coughed lightly after another full glass, the competent secretary advised: "Drinking alcohol helps to invigorate the blood, but it should be in moderation." ”
"The old man's body, the old man knows it in his heart, so you don't need to persuade it anymore."
Minister Kishida's face was a little sickly, but the consequences of three cups of belly were really ruddy, he waved his hand at Shinji Eguchi and chuckled, and then said to the beautiful girl in front of him: "Then Miss Miyamoto, the candidate for the new defense minister, even if it is decided." Shinji has also given you a toast, and if you want to say that when the old man leaves office, there is something else to worry about, I'm afraid it's just a couple of old things to be brought up again. ”
"Yes, yes, so you've had to drink less to get through the long night tonight, right?"
With a smile on her face, Mito, together with San, the former secretary who will succeed as the next Minister of Defense, persuaded Kishida not to drink more. It's just five minutes ago, the minister has already taken three mouthfuls, which is a big challenge for most of the old people who are over seventy years old, not to mention that he has been sick as early as last year.
But it is also because of the three rounds of drinking, the second main topic of tonight can finally be launched, with the consistent support of the Miyamoto family, it is not surprising that the two successive defense ministers will become good objects to talk to. Mi Dong has been the president of the consortium for half a year, and if she can't find this inherent connection, she can really go home to wash and sleep, and return the position to Mozi.
"The construction of the direct drive is going very well, and it is expected that it will be launched on schedule by December this year, so by the end of next year, it will be almost time for sea trials. In this regard, it is easy to say that the Ministry of Defense has recently been a little favoritist in funding the entire military industry, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is certainly the majority, but with the current strength of Honshu Heavy Industries, it should also be able to share an additional 5 billion yen. ”
It's asking for money. Since it is related to the country's gold reserves, Meidong's recent actions will certainly not only be known to the Ministry of Finance, but also to the Ministry of Defense. The so-called short-handed and short-mouthed, the only purpose of the consortium to curry favor with the government is to give feedback to the government in the later stage, and now is such a time.
You must know that since its establishment after World War II, the proportion of the defense budget that Japan's Self-Defense Forces can get has always been only stuck at about 1 percent of GDP, and every penny is extremely precious. Midong suddenly filled the national treasury with a huge amount of money as high as 10 billion dollars, so how can it be converted into the welfare of the Ministry of Defense?
"5 billion yen, 10 billion yen, these are all things that are easy to say, and the key is to have a clear flow."
However, despite this, Minister Kishida still wants to sell his official tone: "But I don't think it's a difficult thing for Miss Miyamoto, the Miyamoto Foundation has laboratories all over the world, and any project can swallow all the money." So, out of so many projects, you have to prioritize carefully, right? ”
Mei Dong covered his mouth and smiled: "If the country can help me get a quantum chip, made in the United States or preferably made in China, I will definitely be able to present a great gift to the country...... Ah, of course, if you can't do it, you don't have to force it, as you said, we have projects that require R&D funding, such as more efficient liquid hydrogen turbines or something. ”
"So, quantum chips, right?"
The minister nodded slowly: "I see." ”
Wow, it seems that there is a play.
Midong breathed a sigh of relief.
It's been a few days now, and she has to eat and chat with all kinds of old men every night, even if these guys don't stupidly think of themselves as escorts, and they don't despise their age more stupidly, but it's a tiring job after all.
Just like Ma Yun once pretentiously, Meidong really regretted taking over the dozen or so cubic meters of gold, what to do with so much money for herself, it was very tiring to spend!
You know, the so-called greater ability comes great responsibility, if she can't invest all the more than 10 billion US dollars in cash, what can the country do if it is inflationary? Even if she is not short of a cake with an increase of 50 yen now, ordinary people are bad, who is not living on a budget, what can I do if I can't eat it for this reason?
It is not a way to spend money to spend money and spend money to buy and buy Miyamoto properties, so Mito naturally thought of the military industry.
But she wants to spend money instead of making money, and the fundamental purpose is hidden behind normal communication and negotiation, and she has to rack her brains to guide the target person to help achieve it. Quantum chips are good things, if Mei Dong can hire the Ministry of Defense to help him steal them, not only spend the money, but also get the good things in his hands, of course, kill two birds with one stone, the problem is only how to express the meaning.
Now, the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and the goal has finally been achieved. The minister's "I know" is tantamount to acquiescing to Midong's employment and will send real professional spies to Silicon Valley in the United States. The stakes are certainly high, but the stakes are also enormous, and they are common. So. After Mei Dong happily took out a large amount of commission, the fool would not agree, but he still had to be reserved.
Government agencies are responsible for implementation, corporate consortia are responsible for logistics, and after someone pays first, and hires experts to get the treasure, the next step is to feed back and benefit each other. Meidong relies on the government to make a profit, and writing it down will naturally make the government profitable, and the application of stolen quantum chips will also make Meidong make a lot of money.
Each takes what he needs, each has what he gets, and the most friendly interaction between the consortium and the government is just that it cannot be made public. And in case the Ministry of Defense makes a mistake in action, at your own risk, Midong is stupid here and doesn't know, unless the official is really stupid enough to sell his own people to the CIA.
"So, what about quantum chips, the United States, of course, is better than China's, well."
Everyone was happy and tacitly understood, and Meidong and the old minister had another drink, while they were wondering what they could do with this chip.
On the one hand, it is fed back to the country, and it is enough to fool a quantum satellite, but what about your own share?
"Why did I talk about quantum chips in the first place? Ah yes, the Terminator ha~! ”
