At the same time, the doubts in Li Xie's heart became more and more intense.
His mind kept changing, not because he was afraid of what Takahashi would do, but because he was thinking about the purpose of Takahashi's coming here.
He knew Takahashi's identity. As the Minister of Finance of the island country, he was in charge of the economy and was proficient in finance. A series of actions of the Huayin Group could be hidden from the military, but Takahashi might not be able to be fooled.
That being the case, Takahashi should come to him for financial matters.
But the other party came here alone, what is he going to do?
After going downstairs, Li Xie deliberately restrained his emotions.
No matter what the other party came to do, he couldn't reveal any clues first.
When he came to the gate of the company, Li Xie saw a middle-aged man in a suit with outstanding temperament waiting not far away.
"This should be Takahashi."
Li Xie calmed down slightly, and went up to meet him.
Since the other party didn't bring anyone with him, he didn't have to be nervous, he first asked about the facts before talking.
Seeing Li Xie's arrival, the people from the security department hurriedly followed.
Then the man pointed at Gao Qiao and said, "Mr. Li, this is Mr. Gao Qiao. He is anxious to see you."
Li Xie nodded, went up to greet him and said, "Your Excellency has come from a long way, but I am sorry to welcome you from afar. I don't know what is the purpose of coming this time?"
Takahashi showed a look of surprise at first, and then looked Li Xie up and down. He didn't expect that the other party could speak such a fluent imperial language.
Seeing Li Xie speaking in an official tone, Takahashi smiled and said: "This is your Excellency, the general manager. I have no other intentions to come here this time. I just want to treat you to a light meal and talk about some cooperation matters by the way. If you are free If so, please honor it.”
Li Xie was slightly thoughtful when he heard the words.
Takahashi is a heavyweight official of the island country, and his background is not small.
The other party's so-called cooperation is probably just an excuse. In the end, it should still be about the Huayin Group's occupation of the island country's market.
If it is rejected, it is likely to affect the next plan.
So Li Xie smiled and said: "Since your Excellency invited me, I will not be respectful.
But please allow me to prepare a little bit. "
"It's up to you."
Gao Qiao was not in a hurry, and followed Li Xie to prepare.
Li Xie went straight upstairs, first ordered someone to pass the matter to Wang Dehai, and asked Wang Dehai to be prepared, and then brought a few entourages down.
After all, Li Xie didn't know the real intention of the other party, so it's better to be careful in everything.
Seeing Li Xie bring people down, Gao Qiao didn't say much.
After a little politeness, the two took a car to Fukuyama City.
After entering the urban area, Takahashi didn't make any publicity, but just randomly found a restaurant, invited Li Xie in for a drink, and asked two attendants to wait outside.
Li Xie thought about it, but didn't let the person he brought follow him.
Takahashi didn't seem to be looking for trouble here, but rather simply wanted to invite him to dinner.
However, Li Xie knew that the less ostentatious a person like Takahashi was, the less simple the matters involved might be, so Li Xie did not relax his vigilance.
It was already past the meal time, and there were not many people in the restaurant.
The two found a corner and sat down. After Gao Qiao ordered some food and wine, he said directly: "Mr. Li Xie, you can probably guess the purpose of my visit here. I just want to talk to you about your company and A thing between empires."
Li Xie nodded, he did have some guesses about this.
However, Li Xie still pretended to be confused: "What do you want to talk about? Our cooperation with your country has always been with your country's army, and you seem to be from the 330 government, right?"
Takahashi smiled wryly, and didn't say any more.
He knew that Li Xie was still on guard against him, so it was hard for him to talk.
So Takahashi put the topic aside for the time being, and just chatted with Li Xie about some irrelevant things. The two chatted and ate, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
It wasn't until it was almost time to eat and drink that Takahashi talked about the two sides again.
"Mr. Li Xie, you are a smart person, so I won't keep you secret.
I know you don't trust me, but I'm not here to talk to you about bilateral cooperation, but to ask you for something. "
"Oh? Please tell me, Your Excellency."
Li Xie became interested.
Takahashi's attitude and demeanor today are very kind, which in itself surprised him a bit, and now he is asking Huayin Group?
Takahashi sighed: "I know what you guys are doing in the empire, I came here this time to ask you if you can lower the prices of some industrial raw materials.
Nowadays, the price of raw materials in the empire remains high, and light industry manufacturers everywhere have gone bankrupt one after another. If this continues, the empire's light industry will be destroyed. "
In fact, the light industry of the island nation has been ruined.
From the occurrence of the Fukuyama Industrial Park incident to the present, more than 90.00% of the light industry manufacturers in the island country have gone bankrupt.
Takahashi's words are just anecdotal.
Chapter 815: It's Too Late to Fix It
Li Xie paused slightly after hearing Gao Qiao's words.
Takahashi was right. The price of raw materials for industrial products in the island country was indeed secretly controlled by the Huayin Group, but Li Xie was not surprised by this.
Takahashi is proficient in finance, so it's strange that he doesn't understand this.
What surprised Li Xie was, since Takahashi knew about this kind of thing, why did he come here alone today instead of telling Saito or the army about it?
If Takahashi makes this matter public, Huayin Group's true intentions will be exposed immediately.
The government and military of the island country will inevitably dispatch armed forces to stop all actions of Huayin Group and expel Huayin Group from the territory of the island country.
But Li Xie remained calm on the surface, and did not answer, but said indifferently: "Since your Excellency knows about this, why don't you make it public?"
"Sir is a smart man, he should know why I didn't speak up."
Takahashi smiled bitterly, his tone full of helplessness.
He knew what Li Xie was thinking, if he made this matter public, Saito and others would definitely send troops to take down the Huayin Group in one fell swoop.
Takahashi also thought about doing this, but the current situation forced him to give up this idea.
Things have developed to the present, and the economy of the empire is no longer in their hands.
The Huayin Group's industrial products have completely occupied the empire's market, and the empire's light industry has been completely destroyed. If they expel the Huayin Group at this time, the entire empire's market will collapse.
Thinking of this, Takahashi felt aggrieved.
The reason why everything has developed to this point is due to the two idiots Saito and Lin Qian!
Lin Xian and Saito are both soldiers, only suitable for leading troops to fight, but one of these two is the head of the government of the empire, and the other is relying on military power all day long to interfere in the government affairs of the empire!
These two people don't know anything about economics and finance, they only know how to act recklessly.
The consequence of this is that the empire is completely unable to respond to the Huayin Group's economic strategy, and is one step slower than the Huayin Group in every way, and in the end it is easily controlled by the other party's economic lifeline.
Just like this time, if Saito and Lin Xian could wake up in time after the explosion in the Fushan Industrial Park and hand over the matter to him, then Takahashi was confident that he would be able to control the situation in time.
It's a pity that it's too late to say these things now.
It was impossible for Lin Qian at that time to entrust these matters to him. Although Saito would discuss things with him, he always held the decision-making power in his own hands.
The two were born in the army and the navy respectively, and they fought all day long over the conflicts between the navy and the army, which wasted a lot of time.
The precious opportunity to save the imperial industry was missed in vain.
On the contrary, Huayin Group has been careful and careful from the very beginning, step by step, and everything is interlocking, and every step is connected seamlessly.
Facing such meticulous means, the empire must deal with it with all its strength from the very beginning, without any distractions.
But at that time, the empire did not do this.
Needless to say, Lin Xian was led by the nose by Huayin Group.
Although Saito has also done some actions, but they are only superficial, and they have no effect at all.
Up to now, the situation has long been out of control.
Li Xie nodded slightly, Gao Qiao's words were honest.
But it is impossible for him to make any form of concession because of the other party's frankness. This economic war has cost countless people countless efforts. If Li Xie compromises, he is no different from a traitor.
So Li Xie said to Gao Qiao, "We cannot satisfy your request.
Since you are proficient in finance, you should know that the price of raw materials is not up to us, but should be determined by the market.
Now, the entire East Asian region is the Huayin Group's market, and our raw materials need to meet the needs of the entire East Asian market, so they are in short supply.
I can tell you that at present, Huayin Group is doing its best to supply raw materials everywhere, but the supply is still in short supply, and there is still a huge raw material gap in the market.
In this case, the price of raw materials cannot be lowered~々. "
When Li Xie said these words, he kept looking at Gao Qiao.
He believed that the other party could understand the meaning of these words.
To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the Huayin Group to reduce the price of raw materials. They finally controlled the island market, and it is absolutely impossible for them to spit out the fat that has reached their mouths.
But Li Xie didn't want to tear his face face to face, so he just used this kind of words to hint at the other party.
Takahashi smiled wryly in his heart, of course he understood what Li Xie meant.
Li Xie has made it very clear that Huayin Group cannot agree to their request, and the price of raw materials will still maintain the current level.
For this, Takahashi is very angry.
I lowered my posture and begged with full sincerity, just to leave the empire with some leeway.
But the other party refused so simply!
But Takahashi didn't dare to get angry, or it was useless for him to get angry.
The Huayin Group has already controlled the economic lifeline of the empire, and his anger is nothing more than incompetent rage.
What's more, there are some things that others may not be able to guess, but Takahashi has already figured it out.
For example, when Huayin Group built iron and steel plants in the mainland of the empire, others might think that this was just a profit-making method of Huayin Group.
But Takahashi knew that these two factories were the last sharp swords to destroy the foundation of the empire's light industry!
Gao Qiao held up the wine glass, and Li Xie raised his glass to meet him when he saw this.
After drinking a glass of wine, Takahashi said directly: "` ‖Mr. Li Xie, some time ago your company has been sending people to buy local manufacturers in our empire.
Those manufacturers together have a large number of machines. After purchasing these machines and equipment, where does your company put them? "
Takahashi already knew this well, and this inquiry was just to verify what he thought.
Li Xie (good) naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, but said: "At present, these machines have been shipped to China in batches, and the group will test them.
As long as the qualified machines are inspected, the group will install and use them in the new factory building to enhance the group's productivity. "
"I see."
Takahashi nodded slightly, but felt bitter in his heart.
He wouldn't believe a single stroke of Li Xie's words just now!
If he didn't expect, those machines had already entered the newly built steelmaking and iron smelting plants, and turned into a pile of scrap iron!
In this way, the empire will never have any chance to restore light industry.
Takahashi had speculated about this kind of thing as early as Huayin Group began to acquire local companies.
It's a pity that Lu Jun's gang of muscular skin won't believe him at all, and they can't see through the real purpose of Huayin Group. They think that Huayin Group is doing this purely for profit.
Chapter 816: Do you really dare to expel Huayin?
Saito couldn't understand it at all. This guy was only thinking about how to make money for the navy, and he didn't care about economic struggles.
