Chapter 618: Someone Else
Vachari is the youngest of all the high-ranking officials, with a high degree of education and strong ability, but he is also the most low-key.
When Ichiro Hashimoto met Vachari in his office, it took some time to reconcile the information in his memory. He suddenly realized that his side was ignoring the Minister of Commerce.
Although Vachari is a member of the Chaiba faction, which Ichiro Hashimoto also knows, Vachari is very unnoticeable among the opposition parties, and he has no outstanding advantages. When Chaiba comes to power, he will either continue to serve as Minister of Commerce, or rise by one and a half levels, and it will be basically the same.
None of this has anything to do with Ichiro Hashimoto, as long as he can win the contract for the Kra Canal.
That's why he thinks that Vachari asked him to meet him.
After the pleasantries, Ichiro Hashimoto's feelings changed somewhat. Vachari's calm tone and smile, as well as his watertight words, made him feel that the whole person was not simple. After half an hour of talking about the so-called business project cooperation, Vachari didn't get to the core.
This made Ichiro Hashimoto even more surprised, this concentration and temperament far surpassed the reckless guess of the tyrant.
Suddenly, Ichiro Hashimoto had a bold guess - could it be that it was not the guessing tyrant who had the greatest credit to come to power, but this hidden young high-ranking official?
Immediately frightened himself, facing Vachari who was smiling and talking slowly, Hashimoto Ichiro quickly analyzed it in his mind, and found that it was not impossible for Vachari to replace Chaiba. Thinking of the Mekong River firefight, Ichiro Hashimoto thinks that the outcome is more likely.
"Mr. Minister, your idea is very good, but at present, our company does not have such a large investment plan. β
Presumably, Ichiro Hashimoto decided to take the initiative to lead the conversation, "As you know, we are fully preparing for the Kra Canal project, so we don't have any more energy to cooperate on other big projects. But I think we will have a chance to work together in the future. β
Vachari smiled slightly, of course he was well aware of the situation. The Kra Canal project was to pass through his hands, although the Japanese had reached a private agreement with Chaiba.
Nodding slowly, Vachari said, "Mr. Hashimoto, I can totally understand that. Otherwise, let's talk about the Kra Canal project......"
Hashimoto Ichiro's brows jumped suddenly, "Of course, we are close partners in this matter. β
"Hehe, yes, I hope that the cooperation between us will be closer. Vachari said he bites the words "closer" very hard.
"Mr. Minister, I would like to hear more about it. Ichiro Hashimoto was relieved that the initiative was already in his hands.
Vachari didn't seem to care about any of this, or he expected it, still smiling, and said, "Mr. Hashimoto, I know that you represent not only the hard bank company, but also the Sumitomo Group. Hehe, I would like to hear from my Japanese friends on how to better manage a country. β
It was undoubtedly revealed, and Vachari almost said directly that Lao Tzu was going to replace Chaiba on stage.
Ichiro Hashimoto smiled slightly, but he turned the topic to the Mekong crossfire, he said, "Mr. Minister, I don't know what you think of yesterday's Mekong firefight?"
Vachari smiled, knowing in his heart that Ichiro Hashimoto was testing whether he had done it, and he said, "I'm shocked. I didn't expect that there would be people from the army involved in drug trafficking. Drug trafficking has always been severely cracked down on by our country, and it is absolutely impossible for it to occur. β
It was not the firefight itself that was shocked, but the human component of the firefight. Vachari made it clear in a few words that it had nothing to do with me. At the same time, it revealed a meaning, Guess Ba lost his qualification to come to power.
There is domineering in the tactfulness, and the city government is not comparable to the guessing tyrant.
Ichiro Hashimoto fully admitted at this time that he had lost his eyes, and Vachari, who had always thought that it was unremarkable, turned out to be the real master. Ichiro Hashimoto can even be sure that the leaders of the opposition parties, the final choice is Vachari, not the Takeo Chaiba!
Using Chaiba to charge in front, Vachari sat down to collect the fisherman. The white-hot struggle between Chaiba and Ba Song before, no matter who wins or loses, will form a bad impression on the side of the people. At this time, the third candidate came out, and he was a young minister with a gentle and elegant image and a gentle smile on his face, which was undoubtedly what the people wanted to see the most.
The opposition parties are also playing very well, and the yellow finch is adding a series of schemes after it.
"Yes, I couldn't agree more. Ichiro Hashimoto nodded decisively and said, "Drugs harm people a lot, bring disaster to the country and the people, and must be severely cracked down." Mr. Minister, I wonder what you think of the Kra Canal?"
After a few simple conversations between the two, they basically pronounced the death sentence of Chaiba. This means that Ichiro Hashimoto can basically give up Chaiba on behalf of Hard Bank Company and cooperate with Vachari instead. So, naturally, he turned the conversation to how to re-negotiate.
"The Kra Canal can change the level of economic development in the Kra Isthmus and inject strong impetus into China's economic development, which is also a very good thing for East Asian countries. "Personally, I'd love to see this canal, which has been envisioned for decades, become a reality." Of course, I personally believe that your company is fully capable of digging a more modern canal and is able to eliminate external interference and pressure. β
Basically, Vachari is telling SΓΉ Hashimoto Ichiro, there is pressure and difficulty for you to solve, and the permission of the project, I will give it after I take office. Of course, as with Chaiba, provided that the Japanese financed him.
Vachari took out a contract from the drawer, smiled and said, "If there is no problem, use this contract as a model." β
Ichiro Hashimoto opened the contract, read it carefully, and then raised his head, "Forty years of operation rights, Mr. Minister, what General Chaiba finally gave us is sixty years." β
As he spoke, he smiled and put the contract down, "There are only forty years, and I'm afraid we are equivalent to building a Grand Canal of more than 100 kilometers for your country for free." Mr. Minister, we are a business, and our primary purpose is to pursue profits. I don't think the board of directors will approve a business that is not profitable. β
Vachari still smiled slightly, "Forty years of operation is the maximum we can accept. You are professional entrepreneurs, and obviously there are multiple means of making a profit. As an addition, after 40 years, your company will have priority in the business of competing for the right to operate the Kra Canal or in the acquisition of the Kra Canal. β
"The premise is that the Kra Canal will not be nationalized. Ichiro Hashimoto immediately added a premise.
Vachari stood up and held out his hand, "Of course, this can be written into the contract. β
Ichiro Hashimoto was basically satisfied, and stood up to shake his hand.
"Mr. Minister, I wish us a smooth cooperation. β
"Definitely. β
After thinking about it, Ichiro Hashimoto smiled and said, "Mr. Minister, I have a personal matter that I would like to ask you to help with......
