"Since the previous year, I have been a secretary in my father's foreign minister's staff team. I have officially entered politics, and my qualifications are still very shallow."

In front of Tang Huan, Shinzo Abe seemed very humble and respectfully guided him to Kozuki Hikasaburo, Shintaro Abe, and Takeshitaro.

There are many factions within the Liberal Democratic Party, and these three people belong to different small groups: Koegi Hikasaburo is the Watanabe faction; Abe Shintaro is the Qingwa Policy Research Association, which began with the faction of his father-in-law, former Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi; Takeshitaro formed his own faction.

In Japan, a place where the island country is obvious and instinctively xenophobic, I don’t know that the power of the people is not good. Tang Huan greeted them skillfully without losing his modesty, and representatives of other consortiums also seized the opportunity to come and get familiar with each other and made a name for themselves.

Although these political people are well-dressed and hypocritical, there is no halo in Tang Huan's eyes, because the other party has gained benefits from him and their relationship is very clear.

Speaking of which, the golden power politics is another feature of Japanese politics that can only be understood but not expressed. The latest big scandal is the "Lockheed Incident".

Although it is the leading aircraft manufacturing company and arms supplier in the United States, Lockheed's commercial wide-body jetliner business has not been smooth due to fierce competition from Boeing 747 and McDonnell DC-10. The L-1011 Samsung passenger aircraft developed by it is facing the dilemma of poor sales.

At that time, ANA purchased the aircraft and selected McDonald's DC-10 passenger plane. In order to grab orders from its competitors, Lockheed sent 500 million yen of cash to then Japanese Prime Minister Kakuro Tanaka, and also managed other important politicians. In turn, ANA forced ANA to modify its orders and purchased Lockheed's L-1011 Samsung passenger plane.

This kind of habitual and tacit inside story of Kim Kwon was originally used to it. In Japanese politics, it was concealed by it. Outsiders who had no position were too lazy to care about such bad things.

But don't forget that the large American consortium is doing global business, and the interest structure is focused on the world. Lockheed uses small means to get rid of the competitors, which will naturally attract revenge from the other party.

As a result, once the matter was revealed, Daniel Haughton, chairman of Lockheed, and Carlkotchian, resigned one after another, and orders for l-1011 Samsung aircraft were also lost in large quantities, with the total loss likely exceeding US$1 billion.

Originally, Lockheed had to sell at least 500 L-1011 Samsung passenger planes to recover the cost, but under the influence of this incident, Lockheed announced in 1981 that it would close its production line after the 250th aircraft was completed, and the delivery time of the last L-1011 Samsung passenger plane was this year.

Due to this painful commercial failure, Lockheed completely withdrew from the civil aviation market.

In Japan, a major political earthquake could not be avoided. Kakuei Tanaka was eventually prosecuted for violating the Foreign Trade Administration Law and accepting bribes, and was imprisoned by several other officials.

Just on October 12 last year, after seven years of trials and hundreds of trials, the court found that Kakuyoung Tanaka violated the foreign exchange law and was entrusted to receive bribes. He was sentenced to four years in prison and a fine of 500 million yen.

However, big names will naturally have ways to deal with it, not to mention that he, a political tycoon like Kakuei Tanaka, paid 200 million yen bail, immediately organized a strong lawyer team to appeal and defend himself from multiple angles.

Therefore, this verdict from last year is just the beginning of a new battle.

Japan implemented a four-level three-instance system. Therefore, in the original time and space, after the second instance and then the third instance, it was not until 1995 that the Japanese Supreme Court made the final judgment, rejecting Kakuei Tanaka's second instance appeal in accordance with the law and upholding the original judgment. At that time, Kakuei Tanaka had been traveling west for nearly two years.

In Tang Huan's view, the reason why Kakuei Tanaka was able to delay the lawsuit again and again is largely due to the smart habits that Japanese politicians have developed for a long time. Things that are not visible can be pushed to the staff around them such as secretaries and drivers. When things are unsolvable, they will throw their soldiers and protect the commander without a certificate. This is used as a buffer to allow more forces to enter the field to rescue the driver.

On the other hand, although Lockheed has found a way to clear the relationship, the means are really not sophisticated. Giving gifts is also a profound knowledge. How can you give cash in a flash and grab a pigtail?

Tang Huan's interest demands in Japan were also inevitable to find a way, but he thought he was invisible.

At this stage, cash is no longer popular in Japan, but stocks. After all, Japan's economy is entering the golden age, and Tang Huan goes further and gives investment opportunities for stocks to rise.

Sometimes when I encounter politicians who do have two skills in cultural cultivation, they will send their calligraphy to the auction hall.

There are countless ways to deliver benefits to the target. The three old men with smiles on the opposite side got the benefits quietly.

While drinking, Tang Huan looked at Shinzo Abe, then raised his glass and said, "Abe, let's have a drink."

Shinzo Abe said with a embarrassed look: "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, I'm not good at drinking."

"Nonsense, I know you can't drink wine." Tang Huan smiled in his heart and advised him: "A drink can relieve menstruation and promote blood circulation, and it is beneficial to the body and mind."

"Bastard, Tang Sang is toasting you, why are you hesitating?" Abe Shintaro was a little angry when he saw his son so cowardly. "I told you a long time ago, how can a man not exercise and drink."

"External Minister, don't get angry. Since Abe really can't drink, then forget it." Tang Huan quickly persuaded, and then added, "It's just that I feel a little regretful."

Shinzo Abe hurriedly said, "Mr. Tang is full of affection, how can I not be polite?"

After drinking a glass with Shinzo Abe, Tang Huan looked very happy and raised his glass again, "Abe is famous in his family. He has a family background. His future is unlimited. We will go more in the future."

Seeing that the richest man made friends with him was so obvious, Shinzo Abe dared not to give face, so he bit the bullet and drank the second cup again. Everyone was in the same cultural tradition circle, and he had already expected that the other party might have to drink the third cup with him.

Sure enough, Tang Huan raised his glass again with enthusiasm, "I didn't expect to meet Abe when I got off the car today. Fortunately! Come on. Let's drink the third cup together."

Shinzo Abe, who had given up his promise, endured his discomfort, closed his eyes, raised his neck, and drank the third cup.

What made Shinzo Abe talk to comfort was that others gave this heroic applause, and his father Shintaro Abe praised in a savvy tone, "Yoshi Yoshi."

After this round of drinking, which seemed very cheerful, the topic at the banquet began to turn to the main topic.

Shinzo Abe, who was dizzy and was in a state of upside down, held on for a while. Finally, he took advantage of everyone's attention and staggered straight to the bathroom.

After noticing Shinzo Abe's embarrassment, Tang Huan smiled secretly and turned his mind to the lobbying proposal of these cunning Japanese.

It turns out that in the face of the increasingly strong rebound of the US semiconductor industry, Japanese semiconductor manufacturers and relevant institutions responsible for trade friction negotiations have put their brains on Tang Huan, the world's largest memory buyer, hoping to reach a private deal with each other, that is, let him do some tricks in international trade and reduce the memory of Japanese semiconductor suppliers on the surface to prevent the trade deficit in the US from being so ugly. The benefit of Japan's development is a lower ex-factory price.

"These profit-oriented grandsons are planning to let me bear the thunder." After quickly calculating the gains and losses of interests, Tang Huan came to this conclusion.

Is Lockheed enough in the United States? But after it crossed the boundaries, it was forced to completely withdraw from the civil aviation market in shame.

At present, semiconductor manufacturers in the United States who are struggling on the line of life and death are forming alliances to put pressure on the federal government and counter Japanese peers. If they are really bribed, they will not be able to keep the fire in the paper. Maybe one day they will be exposed, which will become a big scandal.

After thinking about this, Tang Huan slowly spoke in the eyes of everyone: "This proposal is indeed a good win-win solution. However, I have always had a sense of awe of the rules, and I dare not offend the numerous and hungry colleagues in the United States."

Seeing that Tang Huan was so honest, several people who took the lead in promoting this matter looked at each other and thought at the same time: "The bullshit heart of awe is disgusting that the price we offer is not high enough."

Tang Huan, who had seen the reactions of everyone, made a gesture without waiting for them to speak and continued: "Actually, I have also come up with a solution for you. Why don't you transfer part of your production capacity outward, such as on Baodao, mainland China. At that time, Japan's trade surplus with the United States can be diverted away part of it?"

Hearing this idea, the representatives of Japanese semiconductor manufacturers who attended the meeting began to discuss it.

"With all your warm invitations, I might as well disclose some news here." Tang Huan raised his voice and began to reveal the news in a sonorous and powerful manner.

"First of all, Fangyuan Computer Company will launch a fully 32-bit personal computer and a brand new operating system next year."

"At that time, the basic capacity requirement of the main memory used by Fangyuan personal computers will be increased by 4 times from the current 256kb to 1mb, and the mainstream configuration will be increased from 512kb to about 2mb."

"As for higher-end workstations, servers and other products, the capacity of main memory will also double."

"With Fangyuan Computer Company's ability to sell more than 2 million personal computers per year, you should be able to imagine what kind of pulling effect will it have on the memory market."

"Secondly, with the arrival of a completely 32-bit personal computer platform, this year will be an important milestone in the Zheru product line. All 16-bit software needs to be upgraded to a more powerful version, and its demand pull effect on memory, if not unexpected, should be displayed in the second half of the year."

"The memory market will only grow bigger and bigger. Since you are troubled by the trade friction between Japan and the United States, it is better to transfer production capacity to nearby areas. While diversion of trade surpluses, you can also significantly reduce costs. Why not do it?"

Tang Huan's words really made many people think, and immediately raised their own questions, "Mr. Tang, I heard that you have factories in mainland China. Are your interests guaranteed?"

"Many special economic zones have been opened in mainland China now, and the investment conditions are extremely generous, so I have indeed gained a lot of benefits because of this." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "As for the so-called guarantee, we have to rely on the Foreign Minister and other Ministers of State to help you understand."

Since 1970, the Japanese government's foreign policy began to move closer to mainland China, and its official relations with Baodao became increasingly cold. In addition, the layout of Baodao is limited, Japanese businessmen are more interested in mainland China than in mainland China.

However, Tang Huan only wanted to lead the way, but he didn't want to endorse the political relationship between China and Japan was very complicated even in the 1980s. The water was too deep and he couldn't afford to mix it up.

Everyone can come to an end when they talk to this point at the banquet. As for whether to continue to lead Tang Huan to the bait, the Japanese business community will have to wait for the next opportunity.

Next, Tang Huan was preparing to enjoy Japanese tea ceremony with Saburo Kozuki, Shintaro Abe and Ton Takeshita, so that he could discuss some topics that were inconvenient to discuss publicly in a relatively honest place. This was also his biggest purpose for attending this banquet.

...

Before entering the tea room, Tang Huan went to the bathroom and happened to see the pale face of Shinzo Abe retching in the sink.

"Abe, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Tang Huan, who was amused in his heart, asked casually.

Shinzo Abe didn't dare to say that he was so painful that he was poured by Tang Huan's three glasses of wine, so he had to answer vaguely, "Yes, the stomach and intestines are not very comfortable."

"You must keep your stomach healthy." Tang Huan looked very concerned, took out a pair of stomach-enhancing and digestive tablets from his pocket and handed them over, "It's better to take two pills of this, it's very effective."

"This..." Shinzo Abe looked at the blue stomach-enhancing and digestive tablets with a strange look on his face, hesitating and not taking it.

"What's wrong?" Tang Huan asked, and suddenly realized, "You misunderstood this thing into Viagra, this is a stomach-strengthening and digestive food tablet."

Seeing Tang Huan take a piece and put it in his mouth, chew it in big mouth, and swallow it, Shinzo Abe blushed and quickly took the stomach-enhancing and digestive food tablets, hiding the embarrassment, and joking: "This is a good thing, not only nourishes the stomach, but also provides cover. Hehehe..."

"Abe is extremely smart and is really a talented person." Tang Huan picked his thumb and added: "Since Abe likes this kind of stomach-enhancing and digesting food tablets, I will ask my assistant to send them a few boxes tomorrow. It has just been launched in the United States, and it is difficult to see a shadow in Japan."

"Thank you, thank you..." Shinzo Abe said with a smile on his face.
