Chapter 217 The most powerful negotiation
Of course, the Japanese Kingdom attached great importance to He Fei's visit. They did this, and naturally meant to intimidate. With their national strength, there were only two warships across the country, and they were eliminated goods bought from the United States in the 1980s. If a war broke out, they would not be able to bear it. Of course, peace would be more expensive.
Originally, He Fei also wanted to build a democratic country, but Wu Chang and others believed that all the property of this country was He Fei's private property, and they actually built a constitutional monarchy. They also claimed that He Fei was the first generation of Taoyuan Kingdom. This really made He Fei a little ridiculous. He Fei's original motive for establishing this country was not for any political purpose, so he just laughed it off.
But as the king of a country, the Japanese country still attaches great importance to it. When He Fei's special plane arrived at the airport in their capital, the Japanese country also received the ceremony of welcoming the head of a country. It made He Fei a little unnatural, but because this time he was here to negotiate, He Fei also wanted to show the majesty of the leader of a country.
"—…——…” The president of the Japanese Kingdom strode up and held He Fei's hand and said something He Fei couldn't understand.
Fortunately, He Fei had already found an interpreter in advance, and also learned some diplomatic etiquette temporarily. At this time, he also learned it as if he was quite good, holding his hands tightly with him, and a calm smile on his face.
After saying a few irrelevant words, He Fei was taken to the best state hotel in the Japanese country, but he was obviously not as good as the five-star hotel where He Fei lived. While taking the bus, He Fei also looked at the environment here carefully, and could only be described as poverty.
The capital is also built on an island with an area of about 200 square meters. There are only some low buildings on both sides of the street, and the tallest ones are only five floors. The license plates on the car are pretty good, all of which are Mercedes-Benz, but they are also styled ten years ago.
He Fei already had a certain understanding of this country. However, he did not expect that there would be such a poor country now. However, it was normal that there were no mineral resources around this country. Fisheries were their main source of income, and there were no industrial enterprises at all. How could such a country be rich?
This time, there were not many people coming from He Fei, and only three roommates, Ding Ling, and some entourage staff including secretary and bodyguard.
Ding Ling was the first Minister of Finance of Taoyuan Country to the outside world, and Wu Chang was the Minister of Armed Forces, but now he was in charge of a few bodyguards. Liu Yang was the Minister of Construction and had a heavy burden. Although Xiao Yu didn't talk much, he spoke sharply. He Fei also gave him the title of Minister of Foreign Affairs, and some contacts with the international community were handled by Xiao Yu.
He Fei was a king and four ministers to visit. Although the Japanese Kingdom was hostile to He Fei and the others, they could not be rude in diplomatic etiquette. At this time, the same heads were sent to meet He Fei and the others.
"We have just founded the country and deeply apologized for the unhappiness with your island country. However, based on the principle of friendship, I want to know where we have conflicts with your country, so we can also have a solution." After all, He Fei has no national strength at all, so he can only speak to the President of the Japanese State in a negotiating tone.
"There are several small islands around our country that were sold to wealthy businessmen. But they just used it as a vacation place, which is very welcome. If you do this, we will never interfere and will provide you with certain help. However, if you establish a country there, it will affect the fishermen in our country fishing there. This is a huge loss for us, a country dominated by fisheries. We will definitely not agree. "The king's attitude is also very firm.
He Fei smiled slightly and said, "So that's it. Then I would like to ask, what is the GDP of your country in a year?"
The President of the Japanese Kingdom was stunned, but this was not a secret matter. The Minister of Finance immediately said: "Our country's GDP last year was 2 billion US dollars, and there will be more than ten percent growth this year."
He Fei nodded and asked again: "What is the fiscal revenue of your government in a year?"
“Our country’s fiscal revenue is $120 million.”
"Then your country can also maintain two warships, but I'm afraid the finances will be tight, right?" He Fei still had a faint smile on his face.
After hearing the translator's words, Na Zhuo immediately stared at his eyes and said, "Although our finances are tight, it is very easy to razor your country to the ground!"
He Fei still had the tepid attitude and said, "Why do you have to be angry, Mr. President? I am here to negotiate with your country this time. If there is a way to make us mutually beneficial, I wonder if your country intends to negotiate?"
"Mutual benefit?" The president looked at He Fei in confusion. From their perspective, He Fei Jianguo was beneficial to them without any harm, unless He Fei gave them a large amount of compensation every year.
"Yes! Your country has no industry, and all industrial products are imported, and the power of your fishing boats is oil-based. Diesel and gasoline alone will cost about 200 million US dollars a year. If I can provide you with diesel and gasoline, the price will be 20% lower than what you import, and the quality can be guaranteed."
"Are you saying that you provide me with all the diesel and gasoline we need?" The Minister of Finance couldn't help but screamed in surprise. Saving 20% would mean saving 40 million a year. If you sell it to fishermen at a normal price, it would be equivalent to an additional 40 million US dollars a year. This is more than 30% of the fiscal revenue per year. How could there be anything that would make them more moved?
"Of course, I have my own composite oil processing plant, and the annual sales are above 5 billion US dollars. It is no problem to provide you with 200 million US dollars." Ding Ling also continued at this time. Although the processing plant has not reached such a scale yet, the benefits are so good. He Fei is also interested in expanding it. Ding Ling dares to say such big words at this time.
The president looked at his finance minister and looked happy when he saw him. He knew that this matter was of great benefit to him, but he did not agree happily. Instead, he said: "You can consider this matter. For the first time you come to our country, we must do our best to be a landlord. We will hold a banquet to welcome the king." His tone was much more polite at this time.
Then the atmosphere became much more harmonious, and several people also took the opportunity to ask some other questions and learned more about the situation in the Japanese country.
At the dinner, the guests and hosts were having fun. Obviously, after studying it alone, they believed that if He Fei did this, their country would have taken advantage of more than the part of the sea area that He Fei occupied.
After several rounds of negotiations, Taoyuan Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom officially signed an international convention. Of course, the title of the Japanese Kingdom was stamped, but their real country name... Nosipia, this is also the first time that He Fei signed a formal contract with other countries after the establishment of Taoyuan Kingdom, which made He Fei himself feel very interesting.
He Fei's Taoyuan Kingdom will provide about 200 million US dollars of crude oil every year, and will also hire some residents of the Japanese Kingdom. The Japanese Kingdom will guarantee that in accordance with international conventions, not to go to He Fei's territorial waters to catch fish, and other civilian materials will also provide some assistance to Taoyuan Kingdom.
In fact, as long as He Fei controls the crude oil supply of the Japanese country, he basically controls the economic lifeline of the Japanese country. He Fei obviously has no intention of this, so he does not want to ruin him. If the Japanese country wants to make any bad intentions in the future, He Fei can completely cut off their crude oil supply. At that time, fishing boats of all sizes can only be parked in the port, and the fishermen will starve to death. Only by holding the other party's life gate in their hands can He Fei's country be safe and stable, otherwise they are afraid that they will razed the place to the ground if they fire two guns.
After reaching an agreement with the Japanese Kingdom, the Japanese Kingdom also strongly opposed it internationally. Now it has supported the establishment of Taoyuan Kingdom. The Japanese Kingdom, which has certain contact with Taoyuan Kingdom, has this attitude, and other countries have no objection. Who cares about such a country that is insignificant in the international community?
However, although this internationally recognized the establishment of Taoyuan Kingdom, no head of state sent a congratulatory message. He Fei naturally didn't care about such a thing. Now he was thinking about building his country into a real paradise, and there was no need to worry about the rest.
With the help of the Japanese Kingdom, some of the raw materials and manpower for construction have been greatly alleviated. Seeing that this place has begun to take shape, He Fei really feels like being a king and is in a very good mood.
