Chapter 411 Please Exercise Your Sovereign's Authority
Taro Ono quickly walked into Inoue Jinwu's office.
Inoue Jinwu was already standing in front of the guest sofa waiting.
The two men met and bowed deeply to each other.
"Don't come to An Ye-kun!"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is well!"
Inoue Kintake asked Ono Taro to sit on the sofa and someone brought him tea.
"I heard that Ono-kun went to the dragon again?"
Inoue Jinwu asked.
Ono Taro nodded and said, "Yes, I just came back from there."
As he spoke, Ono Taro's face turned gloomy.
Inoue Jinwu thought, it seems that nothing has been accomplished.
"The negotiations broke down?" asked Inoue Jinwu.
Ono Taro sighed and said, "Yes, they are very strong. Even if I kneel down and beg them, they will not give us a chance to live."
"I came here today to ask the Prime Minister if he could help us make some concessions."
"Without Julong's supply, we can't even produce regular feature phones anymore."
As he spoke, Ono Taro was already choking up a little.
Fujitsu has really reached a stage of life and death now!
Without the core components of the dragon, it will perish immediately.
This brought too much mental pressure to Ono Taro.
This made Taro Ono a little unbearable.
Inoue Jinwu shook his head, he was very disappointed.
At that time, the technological development of foot basins was unique and leading the world.
In terms of chip technology, Huawei is unrivaled in the world, which has also led to a huge explosion in electronic products.
At that time, foot basins were so popular!
But now?
Ever since the foot basin was castrated, it began to decline gradually.
In the past, Jiaoben was also a world leader in the communications industry!
Now, Fujitsu is about to stop producing its accessories after leaving Julong.
Can you dare to think about this?
It’s shocking just to think about it!
Inoue Jinwu sighed and said, "I guess I can't say anything."
"Because, our relationship with the dragon has always been quite cold."
Ono Taro stood up and bowed 90 degrees again, saying, "Please help me."
"You don't want our company to die, do you?"
Inoue Jinwu said: "I will work hard and I will give it a try."
"But I think you shouldn't get your hopes up too much, okay?"
"You still need to work hard on yourselves!"
"You were once a world-leading communications company. You also have your own scientific research capabilities, right?"
"Why have you been using Julong's parts for such a long time without making any breakthroughs in the relevant core components?"
"Tell me, what's going on with you guys?"
Inoue Jinwu said.
After hearing this, Ono Taro looked ashamed.
This was indeed a question that made him feel ashamed.
Why can't they develop the core components of functional 2G mobile phones themselves?
Isn't it because they haven't invested a lot in this area?
The main reason is that Taro Ono wants better-looking financial statements and performance.
In his opinion, the investment in research and development is a bit wasteful.
The key point is that even if they invest a lot in research and development and have achieved results, how can they mass-produce the products? Can the products produced find a market?
If the market cannot be found, the cost will be much higher, even several times higher than the core components of the dragon.
In that case, it would be meaningless.
So, after much thought, Taro Ono decided not to invest in research and development at all costs.
However, within the small circle of Eagle Lizard, there are companies that have invested a lot of money in research and development.
But in the end, those companies lost all their huge R&D funds.
What they made is garbage and is totally unusable.
This also sounded a wake-up call for Taro Ono.
Despite their frugal lifestyle, they ultimately failed to make up their minds to invest in research and development.
But now! Isn't this retribution?
With the giant dragon choking his neck, Xiao Ri just rolled his eyes.
Ono Taro said with shame: "Prime Minister, we are too short-sighted."
"But now, it's too late to say anything..."
Inoue Jinwu said: "It is a big taboo to not have a long-term plan and to be at a loss when things come to an end!"
"Forget it, I won't say anything to you."
"I'll make a phone call to the dragon-related parties and ask for mercy."
"I hope it can have some effect."
Ono Taro hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Prime Minister."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, is it true that the Giant Eagle is putting a lot of pressure on us right now?"
Inoue Jinwu sighed and said, "It's almost to the point of sucking the marrow out of the bones."
"They just want to harvest us completely."
"Many of our businesses are now trying to avoid being harvested."
"But it looks like there's no way to hide."
Taro Ono thought that since we didn’t hear any information, it seems that the companies that were forced to relocate are probably the leading ones, right?
"We should resist fiercely," said Ono Taro.
"If we don't resist, when all our high-quality enterprises are harvested, I think we will be close to extinction by then."
Inoue Jinwu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "We can't resist."
"They have tied our limbs."
"We are like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered."
“No one dared to resist.”
"Because the consequence of resistance is likely to be death and the downfall of the family."
Ono Taro blinked and said, "Prime Minister, the dragon supports us in our fight."
"When I met with Wang Haoran and discussed it in detail, he told me more than once, he said: We are not far from destruction! If we don't seize the time and fight with a desperate spirit, we will definitely be doomed."
"They are willing to give us moral support..."
Inoue Jinwu was thoughtful. He thought that it would be great if he could really get the support of the dragon.
But will the dragon actually support the foot basin?
I guess he has more evil intentions.
Maybe they just want us to fight to the death and consume the Eagle's strength.
Well, maybe they can give us some weapons support if necessary.
That's probably it.
However, what Wang Haoran said is actually quite good.
The Eagle is now clearly in a strategic retreat.
Yes, they are strategically shrinking.
And the foot basin was the one that was abandoned.
Before the eagle gives up the basin, it plans to clean it and harvest it completely.
This is already a known fact, right?
Inoue Jinwu said: "Moral support?"
"Obviously it's not enough."
"If they are willing to send volunteers, then perhaps we can consider it."
Ono Taro shook his head and said, "I also mentioned this issue when I talked to Wang Haoran."
"He obviously disagreed." "He said he would only give us moral support and maybe some weapons."
"Of course, we don't lack weapons."
"He said that our future depends on ourselves."
"In fact, they, the dragons, don't care whether the foot basin is completely harvested by the giant eagle!"
"It doesn't matter to them whether they harvest or not."
"He was just giving us a reminder. He said we need to atone for our sins!"
"If we can win the battle against the giant eagle, then we can gain the forgiveness of the dragon."
Inoue Jinwu frowned slightly.
He sighed and said, "It seems that they understand the situation very well."
"They have seen through our current predicament and understood it clearly."
Ono Taro said, “That’s right.”
"Master Prime Minister, we always thought that one day we could take advantage of the situation to break free from the Giant Eagle's shackles and become truly powerful again."
"But now it seems that the Eagles will never give us such an opportunity."
"If we continue to hope for the best and do nothing, then we may really sink to death."
Inoue Jinwu said: "Perhaps we should get a little closer to the dragon."
"I'm going to visit the dragon sometime."
"Yeah! I want to show my strength too."
"Mr. Ono, do you think that if I invite the dragons to buy our company and invest in our high-quality company, will they agree?"
Inoue Jinwu’s idea is actually very simple.
He just wanted to drag the dragon into the dispute.
If it is possible to tie its interests together with that of Giant Dragon, then Giant Dragon will definitely stand up and confront Giant Eagle when Giant Eagle forces the basin enterprises to relocate their production capacity.
By that time, perhaps the foot basin can hide beautifully and watch the two strong forces fight.
It would be the best thing if they could fight each other to the death and both sides would suffer losses.
Jiaoben has actually been thinking about this all along: it would be best if all the powerful countries in the world, such as eagles and bears, exploded on the spot, so that they can become the king of the world without a tiger.
But, to be honest, there is no possibility for their idea at all.
People with foot basins are quite good at fantasizing.
Taro Ono smiled and said, "I think we can give it a try."
"Well! We can also try and directly request the dragon to station troops in our territory."
"Let's also sign a covenant with the dragon."
"Wouldn't it be possible to see a fierce confrontation between a dragon and an eagle?"
Inoue Jinwu laughed and nodded, saying, "That's a very good idea!"
“I think it would be great if this could really be done!”
"We can contact Long first and take action."
He quickly stopped laughing and became serious.
He paced around the office somewhat uneasily.
He was a little worried that someone might have installed a bug in his office.
Of course, there would be people from the security department checking Inoue Jinwu's office every day.
But who knows if those who are checking are from Giant Eagle?
The giant eagle's infiltration into the foot basin has reached the point where it can penetrate every pore.
Taro Ono knew what Inoue Jinwu was worried about.
He sighed and whispered: "We are actually slaves of the giant eagle."
"It's really a shame."
"I can't understand it! Why has all our former bravery disappeared?"
"How brave our soldiers were back then!"
"Now, our entire elite and the vast majority of our citizens have become cowardly cowards."
"I don't even know who I can trust right now," Inoue Jinwu said.
"Ono-kun, I will call our consul in Julong right away."
"I want him to contact the dragon as soon as possible and convey my intention to the dragon."
“We must release goodwill to the greatest extent possible!”
"Yes! I can even make them our new overlord country!"
Ono Taro was stunned: "Prime Minister, this is not good, right? Isn't it like escaping from the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den?"
Inoue Jinwu said: "Only in this way will the dragon really help us!"
“I hope to paint a pie for them.”
"If we don't give them any benefits, why should we let them go ahead of us?"
"So, we can give them any benefits! We can even let them station troops there after driving away the giant eagle!"
Ono Taro hesitated for a moment and said, "The dragon may ask us to pick up the tablets in the clean pot and burn them."
"They may also demand the liquidation of some war criminals."
"Can we really agree to this?"
Inoue Jinwu said, "Yes! Just agree to it first."
"I think we should reshuffle our foot basins."
"Those aristocratic families have existed for two thousand years. It's time for them to give way."
Inoue Jinwu said without any ambiguity.
Inoue Kintake was not from a large aristocratic family.
He was considered a new noble, and the kind of new noble who was not stained with blood.
That's why he could make such an expression.
Taro Ono himself is not from a prominent family. He is just a commoner elite who climbed to his current position by getting into a good university and working hard on his own.
Inoue Kintake and Ono Taro can get along well, and this is the main reason.
Ono Taro said: "Well! In order to save ourselves and to make the foot basin truly rise, let's all fight!"
After Taro Ono left, Inoue Kintake immediately called Shigemitsu Murakami, the consul of Jiaoben in Julong.
After listening to Inoue Jinwu's instructions, Murakami Shigemitsu immediately said, "Prime Minister, I will immediately apply for a meeting with the head of Julong's diplomacy."
“I hope we can impress each other.”
“This is really important to us.”
Shigemitsu Murakami is considered to be a close confidant of Inoue Kintake.
Therefore, there is no need to hide anything between the two of them.
Murakami also knows that the foot basin is very dangerous now.
In fact, as long as you are not stupid, you can see that the foot basin is very subtle nowadays.
If you don't handle the basin properly, you may be completely sunk by the giant eagle.
Therefore, action must be taken immediately.
And what if the foot basin fights the eagle alone? The loss is too great.
The loss is too great for the foot basin to bear.
It is better to let the two strong teams really confront each other. That way it will be exciting and there is a chance that the underdog will benefit.
So, Shigemitsu Murakami certainly supports Inoue Kanetake.
The next day, Shigemitsu Murakami made an appointment to meet with the diplomatic chief of the Dragon side.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the head of diplomacy will definitely not meet with envoys at any time.
Even if the consul of the foot basin is more important, it is no exception.
However, this time Murakami Shigemitsu claimed that he had very important matters to communicate with the dragon.
Therefore, Lin Jingze, the head of Julong's diplomacy, agreed to meet with the other party and have a chat.
The two sides met that afternoon.
After shaking hands and greeting each other, Murakami Shigemin said the first thing he said: "Mr. Lin, we hope that your country can exercise the rights of the suzerain country..." (End of this chapter)
