Chapter 139: Welcome to the Coming Day
"A warm welcome to Duke Weitin!"
After getting off his private plane, Conrad looked at the huge slogan hanging on the airport, not only a little stunned.
Is this Nima's little Japan deliberate, deliberate, or deliberate?
The banner is pulled up in English Chinese and Japanese, and the English title is still decent, but the Japanese title is ......
Japanese and kanji are the same!
"Duke Weitin, welcome!"
The Japanese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was standing at the airport, saw Conrad get off the plane, and hurriedly bowed 90 degrees, and the guys who followed him also bowed together.
"Mr. Sato is polite, he is just a businessman in the next place, and he deserves such courtesy from your province!" Looking at Eisaku Sato, who nodded in front of him, the Duke said with a smile.
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for all foreign affairs, and Eisaku Sato's position is Vice Minister, which is equivalent to Deputy Foreign Minister, and although he now holds the title of Duke of Meiningen, no one recognizes it.
After all, his fiefdom is still under the jurisdiction of the Soviets!
In essence, in fact, Conrad is just a rich local tyrant, and this time he came to Japan to lay out in advance and search for Japan's people's fat and ointment.
Because there is no so-called Korean War in this world, Japan is still in a period of economic weakness, but Conrad knew in advance that once the Vietnam War broke out, Japan would become a bridgehead for the United States and even NATO in East Asia.
At that point, a steady stream of money will flow into the barren island nation, allowing its economy to grow like a water-injected version.
Although he is very disdainful and hateful of Japan as a country psychologically, in fact, he still admires it.
The fact that a small country can go to the forefront of the world in many technologies has fully demonstrated the life principle of being ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to oneself.
"It is a great honor for the Duke of Wettin to visit Japan, and the Prime Minister will hold a state banquet at the official residence this evening. Vice Minister Sato said as he bowed.
All right!
Although Conrad originally had a lot of opinions about Japan, but now he has to admit that even if he wants to find fault with this attitude, he can't find it.
He just came to inspect Japan's economic prospects, but not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also the Prime Minister were alarmed, which really surprised him.
But he could understand the thoughts of the Japanese.
Twenty years have passed since World War II, but because the United States has been stuck in Japan's various economic lifelines, Japan is still in ruins, but because the resources of this island country are too poor, it cannot develop even if it wants to.
Even if the industrial technology of the Japanese can indeed be regarded as the best in the world, but without raw materials, even Howard will not be able to rub a power system for you empty-handed, right?
I just want to import raw materials, so I have to ask my American dad if he agrees!
All of Japan's current important shipping routes are still in the hands of the United States, and the annual import and export of raw materials requires the nod of the US government to obtain approval, so that the country has not recovered economically for 20 years.
Over the past 20 years, Japan has tried countless ways to try for the United States to loosen its grip on its economy, but what about the temper of the United States?
Everybody knows.
How can they vomit after eating something in their stomach?
What's more, everyone has the impression that Japan is a barren place with no future at all, so the future of Japan is still very worrying.
Conrad can be regarded as the representative of the big chaebol who visited Japan for the first time in 20 years!
In addition, his current identity is still the son-in-law of the US president, so when the Japanese government received the news that the other party was going to visit Japan, it immediately formulated a complete set of welcome plans overnight, and it was necessary to ensure that the other party felt at home, and then decided to invest in Japan.
The Pacific Fleet dares to unscrupulously intercept Japanese cargo cruise ships, but does it dare to intercept cruise ships invested by Duke Watin?
In front of Ula Ula's police car opened the way, several mounted police officers patrolled around the road, and Conrad stepped into a special car specially prepared by the Japanese government.
Looking at the crowds of people on both sides of the road, his thoughts suddenly drifted a little.
I didn't expect that I would even enjoy the treatment of a big man at the level of clearance!
"Is the Duke satisfied with the architecture of Kyoto?" Seeing Conrad constantly looking out the window, Vice Minister Sato hurriedly asked respectfully.
"It seems to be a little different from what I imagined!" Looking at the buildings that kept flashing on both sides of the road, Conrad thought for a moment and said.
In the previous life, Kyoto, Japan, was not inferior to the bustling metropolis of New York, with high-rise buildings lined up one after another, which truly interpreted what it means to be glamorous.
But now in Kyoto, Japan!
Although some iconic buildings are still there, and there are many skyscrapers, in the gaps between the buildings, you can clearly see many low-rise houses and old buildings, and even large areas of wasteland.
This is an authentic Kyoto, Japan, and it is said that every inch of land is cheap!
In the future, the land price in Tokyo, Japan, was second only to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, ranking second in the world!
"There is room for investment in many aspects of our country, I don't know what Duke Weiting wants to investigate when he comes this time?" Vice Minister Sato chatted with Conrad for a while, and then slowly began to get to the point.
"Well, I still need to think about it!" The Duke waved his hand, although he had long decided to come to Japan to open a few large-scale foundries and speculate on some land by the way, but now it is definitely impossible to tell all the hole cards.
"I'm sorry for being reckless!" Sato hurriedly bowed and apologized, without the slightest hint of a half-portrait.
The state dinner in the evening was really ok, and the preparation of the Japanese in this regard was really impeccable.
In addition to Japan's signature dish bluefin tuna, they even prepared Conrad's favorite red face, which shows that they have done a lot of homework.
The Japanese Prime Minister personally accompanied him and praised Conrad, anyway, it is nothing more than a cliché topic such as the fearsome life of a young man!
During the state banquet, a special Kabuki troupe was invited to perform traditional Japanese performances.
Although in the process, Vice Minister Sato vaguely said that if the Duke needs it, then those national treasure-level actors can be selected by you.
But in the face of a bunch of so-called kabuki who can scare people to death with white powder on their faces, the Duke said that he really has no interest, and you might as well find a few teachers to perform, so at least you can still have desire, right?
