Chapter 1094: Discussion

Chapter 1094: On the Dao

Zhao Jianhui naturally didn't know what those people standing behind him were thinking. He just silently calculated that the highlight of tonight should be a private meeting with Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Ohkawa Ichiro. What will Ohkawa Ichiro say then?

It can be seen that Hiroyuki Shirio, General Manager of AMP Co., Ltd., Masao Oda, Chairman of Oda Technology Co., Ltd., Hidetoshi Komatsu, Chairman of Komatsu Kaisha, and others attach great importance to this meeting, and hope to establish a personal friendship with Zhao Jianhui, a young senior official with a red background in a powerful neighboring country. Masao Oda even took the initiative to propose at the symposium that Oda Technology intends to invest 50 billion yuan to build a new electronic base in Nishikawa Province. He proposed that he hopes to reach an agreement with Nishikawa Province before the end of this year.

Zhao Jianhui smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Oda for your trust. As long as both of us are sincere, I hope our cooperation can go smoothly. I firmly believe that we can achieve a win-win situation."

Amp Corporation General Manager Hiroyuki Shirio and Komatsu Kaisha President Hidetoshi Komatsu also expressed their strong desire to invest in Nishikawa Province. Oda Masao even mentioned that his daughter Maeyoko Oda was selected as the tourism ambassador of Nishikawa Province. He said, "I am very happy to see this scene. It is a great honor for me and my family."

After the discussion, Zhao Jianhui, accompanied by Ichiro Ohkawa, visited several factories of Amp Corporation and the Oda Technology R&D Building. Zhao Jianhui was impressed by the efficiency and cleanliness of these companies.

In the evening, Hiroyuki Shirio organized a cocktail party.

Standing on the 28th floor of Wangzhidu Hotel, Zhao Jianhui held a glass of red wine in his hand and sat in a corner leisurely, watching the men and women dancing on the dance floor. Sitting next to him was Ohkawa Ichiro. Seeing Zhao Jianhui's eyes looking at the neon lights outside the window, Ohkawa Ichiro smiled and said, "This is a very good city, half of which is human and half is determined by nature. Except for the coastal areas of your country, even the capital does not have these conditions..." Zhao Jianhui smiled and said, "Maybe." Ohkawa Ichiro said, "You may not believe it, but I am not used to the feeling of depression and tension in this city. I still prefer the scenery of Anzhi's countryside..." As he said that, he shook his head, stared at Zhao Jianhui and said, "This is also unavoidable. In the 1960s and 1970s, Dongyang once led the world economy and also promoted the development of the four little dragons around it. The world chose this place, and it was necessary to pay some price..." Zhao Jianhui drank a sip of red wine and said nothing. Perhaps in recent years, Dongyang's economy has become more and more dependent on Xiahua, and the two former and current Ministers of Industry and Economy of Dongyang have both been friendly to China. Especially this Ohkawa Ichiro, who not only publicly admitted several times that the war against China was an act of aggression, but also admitted that some of the practices at that time were inhumane, which was particularly difficult when the right-wing forces in the East were rising.

Of course, no matter what attitude they take towards China, some officials, including Ohkawa Ichiro, are only trying to maximize their own interests. The left and the right wing are just different routes, but the goals they want to achieve are the same. Facing this old man who looks very kind, Zhao Jianhui certainly will not have the idea of ​​respect.

Zhao Jianhui only hopes to learn more about some practices in high-level politics through his meeting with him. He still doesn't know what kind of chess some bigwigs in the domestic political arena are playing. Contact with heavyweight politicians like Ohkawa Ichiro may learn a lot.

However, what Ohkawa Ichiro said now is so vague that Zhao Jianhui is very helpless. So, just listen to what he wants to say. At the same time, he also clearly realized that the essence of this meeting was just a gesture. Even in China, no one wanted him to say anything.

However, Ohkawa Ichiro went off topic, talking about the Tang envoys and the mourning of the whole country of Dongyang when the Southern Song Dynasty fell.

Zhao Jianhui also knew this period of history. During the Tang Dynasty, Dongyang conquered Goryeo and was defeated by the Tang Dynasty general Liu Rengui. From that time on, Dongyang realized the huge gap with the Central Empire, so it sent people to learn, not only culture, but also manufacturing, architecture, rules and regulations, and everything else they were interested in.

During the Song Dynasty, it seemed that many Dongyang women came to the Song Dynasty to borrow seeds, hoping to improve the varieties. When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, the whole country of Dongyang was in mourning. After the failure of the Mongolian attack on Dongyang, the Dongyang people killed all the captured Mongolians and Goryeo people, and released all the Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty. In general, Dongyang had a thorough respect for the Song Dynasty during the Song Dynasty.

However, since the Ming Dynasty, there have been Japanese pirates. Although they created Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, they also brought great disasters to the people in the southeast coast. As for the late Qing Dynasty, first the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Beiyang Fleet was completely wiped out, then Port Arthur, Jiaozhou Bay, and then the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Japanese's iron hoofs trampled all over the land of China.

With Zhao Jianhui's current status, although he is not as angry as some people think that Yang is against the Japanese, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has any good feelings for them.

It is also known that Ohkawa Ichiro said so much, just to say that the friendship between our two countries has a long history, and we have a lot in common in terms of culture, habits, and race.

Zhao Jianhui smiled and said: "Learn from each other's strengths and make progress together. China and your country face each other across the sea and are dependent on each other. Logically speaking, we should be a pair of good neighbors. In recent years, our economic and trade cooperation has become closer and closer, but , there are also many problems between the two countries. None of this can be solved overnight. Now, I am just a local official. I hope that my meeting with you today can promote exchanges and cooperation between Dongyang Enterprises and Nishikawa Province. The rest are not issues that I should consider now. ”

Ohga Ichiro brought the topic to national policy, and Zhao Jianhui began to talk about Nishikawa Province. Ichiro Okawa may have been unintentional, or he was really yearning for the relationship between the two countries a thousand years ago, but he was probably more interested in sniffing out something from Zhao Jianhui's mouth. But Zhao Jianhui only represents Xichuan Province, and he can only talk about Xichuan. This kind of occasion is very sensitive, and one wrong word may cause a political storm in the country. Especially during this sensitive period.

Most of the visiting officials spoke in official terms, but most of them were old men. Zhao Jianhui was only thirty years old now. Seeing him using diplomatic rhetoric in front of him in an old-fashioned way made Ichiro Ohga feel funny in his heart, thinking that this young man was indeed difficult to deal with.

"In the officialdom of your country, it is not surprising to be able to speak fluent English on the first floor, but there are very few people like you who can speak authentic Oriental. Your words make me very kind, and I think we can still be very good. Let’s talk about something..." Ichiro Ohga was indeed an old fox. He first talked about the friendship between the two countries, but when he saw that it had no effect, he then used words to close the relationship with Zhao Jianhui.

"Yes, I have also put a lot of effort into your language. Although your language is derived from Chinese, after your 'improvement', even if it is still mixed with some square characters when writing, but When I read it, I can no longer find the original flavor." Zhao Jianhui said with a hint.

You originally worshiped the Tang and Song dynasties, but that was just to enhance the various skills of your own country. When you became stronger, there would be Japanese pirates invading the border, and there would be the rumble of cannons on September 18th...

Ichiro Ohga didn't seem to hear it, and smiled and said: "Yes, our two countries have some similarities and some regional differences, which requires more exchanges and cooperation. However, a few days ago, because of your country's fishing boats Cross-border fishing caused some unpleasantness between the two countries, and exchanges and cooperation between the two countries were suspended for a time. This is a disservice to the two countries. It is not good for either country, but it also damages the feelings and interests of the two peoples. In fact, we handle this matter in accordance with the laws of our country. It is just a small matter of cross-border fishing. This kind of thing also happens between other countries. It happens often, and everyone usually resolves it appropriately based on legal principles. Your country’s response this time seems a bit extreme..."

Zhao Jianhui put down his wine glass with a loud sound, looked at Ichiro Ohga and said, "Since Mr. Yamato is well versed in history, he should know what is going on in the Diaoyu Islands. Scholars from your country have a clear understanding of the profound impact of ancient Chinese culture on the Oriental Kingdom. Kimiya Yasuhiko said in his book: "People think that the ancient systems of the Eastern countries were mostly created by themselves. However, if we examine the history of the Tang Dynasty, we will find that most of them imitated the Tang system."

Ichiro Dahe opened his mouth but could not speak.

Zhao Jianhui continued: "Throughout the past and present, China has canonized Eastern kings during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, they were called Japanese kings, and they were given crowns, clothes and gold seals. After that, the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties all had titles. After the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan became powerful, and Dongyang became a vassal to the Khitan; later, it became a vassal to the Jin Dynasty. These are all recorded in the history books, and you should know that in the 2nd year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty sent Zheng He as an envoy. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was canonized as the King of the East. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu received the crown of the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. The following three shoguns, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Ashikaga Yoshimichi, and Ashikaga Yoshitsune, all accepted the canonization of the Emperor of China. The Ashikaga family's Yoshimasa, Usumi, and Yoshiharu also used the title of King of Toyo. Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty conferred Toyotomi Hideyoshi as King of Toyo, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi expressed his gratitude to Emperor Wanli as his vassal..."

Let’s not talk about who owns the Diaoyu Islands. If we start talking about it, you, the Oriental Kingdom, are all vassals of the Chinese Kingdom. What else do you have to say? Aren't you proficient in history? These things are also recorded in your country's history books. You have to admit it, right?
