Day 29 Fight again (1)
The venue was once again filled with people. Hiro Sakai, Shiichiro Iris, Shiro Inoue, and representatives from other companies, like yesterday, who were waiting for a new round of speeches.
Ai Fei nodded to Nishiwei Yongxing, who walked to the empty space, took out the prepared pictures and placed them on the shelf, and then stood aside. Ai Fei stood up and picked up a retractable baton from the shelf, but did not straighten it, but just held it in his hand: "For some specific reasons, this time the explanation will be my own. Let me introduce myself, I am Ai Fei, and now I am the president of Ai Shi Construction Company."
"Ai Jun, I think our time is limited, so you should start soon."
"Of course, Sakai, of course." Ai Fei nodded obediently: "But before the start, I would like to say something about the airport construction this time, to be precise, the topics from the people. Because of some work reasons, in the 27th year of Showa, I went to the United States and met many Americans. Unlike the Japanese, Americans seem to be not very concerned about politics, people's livelihood, and national construction. For them, caring about their own lives and development is the greatest focus of life. In fact, it can be seen from the representatives of the three companies from the United States who came to the scene today. Not to mention whether they can succeed in the end, it is just the early expenses. I personally think that it is a huge investment, but Americans think that such expenses are absolutely acceptable - even if the final result proves that their investment is invalid."
"... And the Japanese are different. Even in 1945, when the war just ended, the Japanese people had their own understanding of the direction of the country, politics, and even the nation. Whenever the policies issued by the state cannot satisfy them, someone would stand up and organize petitions, marches, demonstrations and other actions."
"... Gentlemen, please allow me to open up the situation with such seemingly unrelated topics. What I want to explain is that for other companies, such as Kawasaki, in addition to using all their connections and funds when preparing copywriting and plans, do people pay a lot of attention to the participation of the country in their hearts? For them, how much profit can be won for their company through this project is the most important and most concerned. Isn't it?"
"………The people’s attention to this airport expansion project is unprecedented. Not only because the investment in this project is very large, nor because the form of this project bidding is unprecedented, but more people have noticed that the development from the country has arrived through this project! The image of the country has also moved from the destruction and chaos of Showa in the 20 years to a more modern country and city. This is not only because of the economic development, but because Japan’s national image has made rapid progress and changes under the guidance of such a project!"
"But is the new construction of just one airport enough to meet the national pride and development needs that exist in the hearts of the people? No! Everyone, this is far from enough. Therefore, during the preparation of this plan, our company proposed a comprehensive construction of a new Tokyo, which is also the concept of building a new Japan in all aspects in the future."
It was not until this time that he pulled the baton in his hand and clicked on a corner on the map: "Gentlemen, for Ai Shi, starting from the periphery of the airport, it took 12-18 months to build a Haneda Airport that can allow any foreign friends to come to Japan. This is the goal of Ai Shi! Next, I will explain my design plan in detail."
The crowd at the scene was silent, and only his clear voice echoed: "Any Tokyoite will face a big problem when choosing a faster, more convenient and safe transportation such as an airplane, which is more and more fast, convenient and safe. The transportation construction in the city is far from keeping up with the development of the times. If you want to take a plane at 3 pm, they even need to get up at 5.6 pm. Of course, I don't mean that the traffic conditions are really bad to this point, but considering the possible traffic jams and the tension when taking a plane, I'm not going out early and spending more time to adapt to the airport environment. Isn't it the choice for many people?"
Ai Fei suddenly laughed: "I can see from your faces that so far, my story seems to be very recognized! Needless to ask, everyone has experienced flying!"
"Haha..." The smile that sounded for the first time in the venue.
"The problem of mentality can be alleviated after many experiences, while the problem of transportation is that as a construction company that is the construction company that is responsible for the airport expansion project, it must be considered in advance. With the development of the times, the number of cars will become more and more, and the needs of roads will be put on the agenda in the shortest time. However, I always believe that instead of developing when needed, it is better to prepare in advance. For the people and international friends who come to Japan, a more modern city, a more convenient city, and a city that is more suitable for human habitation, isn't it a problem that the governor, vice governor, and the second-rank officer of the Construction Province need to consider?"
"...In summary, we have proposed a book for the construction of airports, roads and public facilities in all aspects, and use a bolder, more creative, more contemporary, and most importantly, it can make the final decision on the surrounding environment that meets the needs of the future era!"
Iris sat in the guest seat and felt goosebumps all over her body! This must be Ai Fei's idea, it must be! Only he can come up with such a brand new and bolder design!
Of course, it is not certain that his design can pass the final selection, but it cannot be denied that what kind of response will his design cause after being informed to the public through the pen of the reporter who attended the briefing today! From this perspective, he is really a good expert in making news! Well, it seems that he has not paid attention to this point yet!
Not only did he feel this way, but even Hiroshi Sakai found a bright spot: not mentioning anything else, but the view of the construction of the expressway and airport projects at the same time is enough to attract attention. If it can be realized, the influence on the future development of the governor of the construction province will be far greater than the effect of this matter itself! Imagine that expanding the existing construction environment in Tokyo and providing the Japanese people with a more modern and more suitable environment for people to live in will not be too much, right?
But, can such a goal be achieved?
Two hours of statement time passed. Ai Fei slowly put away his baton: "Gentlemen, thank you very much for taking the time to listen to the statements I have made about the airport expansion project. In the following time, I will listen carefully and answer any questions you have raised."
There were a burst of commotion in the crowd, as if everyone wanted to ask the first question, but on such occasions, we still had to follow the rules - after all, this was a briefing on the tender, not a press conference: "Ai Jun?"
"Yes, sir."
Hiro Sakai's body leaned forward a little: "This is a very wonderful explanation, and it is the most exciting explanation that the old man has heard so far. Thank you very much, my colleagues at Ai Shi Construction Company for their efforts. Next, we officially enter the inquiry session. Is it OK?"
"Yes, sir, can."
"So, Ai Jun, in your design, you use all administrative regions under Tokyo as the operating area that may become the airport expansion project this time. I highly appreciate your bold and advanced design. However, have you ever thought that such an operation will turn an ordinary project this time into a bottomless pit for absorbing funds? With the funds of less than 20 billion yen approved by the government departments, do you think it can allow you to complete such an operation?"
"Yes, Lord Sakai, with such a capital figure, I cannot complete the plan in my design. Therefore, for the use of funds, I plan to use my company's strength and market reaction to connect and operate with another large construction company with more experience and market than Ai's. Of course, this must be done on the premise that my plan can pass. Our two companies will join and lend to the bank. Then, complete the project operations indicated on my design copy."
Hiro Sakai was stunned: "What do you mean is to cooperate with other companies to complete it?"
"Yes, it's Yamato Company. I had in-depth and detailed consultations with Mr. Panasonic Hiya of Yamato Company, and believed that with the assets and market capabilities of both of us, coupled with the public reactions that this promotion may bring, we can completely lend the money we need."
Hiro Sakai wanted to continue asking questions, but someone next to him seemed to be unable to wait: "Ai Jun, as the manager of Ai Company, who has only one year old, you have always been in the United States and have only returned to Japan before the tender meeting begins. You don't seem to know much about the situation. This time, the bidding was to expand Haneda Airport, rather than the imaginative and unrealistic highway planning schemes you designed! Don't you know? How many residential houses will be there from Haneda Airport in Ota District to the central area of the city? How many commercial residences and shops may be displaced because of your design?"
Ai Fei smiled: "Kakasaki, even for your biggest opponent, I would like to face, I would like to sincerely appreciate your foresight. As you said, if the highway project is really going to be carried out, there are many problems involved, including what you mentioned just now. However, I think that as long as you have sufficient funds and some kind explanation, of course, the most important thing is to be due to the enthusiasm and participation of the people living on both sides of the highway that may be expanded, gaining recognition and compatibility with them is not impossible, right?"
As soon as his voice fell, Junsi Kawasaki immediately asked: "Even what you said can be realized. Then, do you think the land use rights and planning rights owned by this country can be taken over by just your words and used as a company for development and operation?"
This is a very difficult question to answer. After all, Nagasaki said nothing wrong. This decision cannot be made just by Ai Fei's words or an exciting speech. There are too many questions involved. Fortunately, he was prepared for this and scratched his head childishly: "Yes, that's right! Just like what Kawasaki said, this decision is not something I can make. However, what I can make is just to contribute all my spirit and talent to my country and city. As for whether I can pass, or even whether my company can enter the final final of the third round, it is not something I can make."
"...I'll describe my current situation like this. I just want to make such a voice among the people when the proposal is introduced. As Kawasaki said, this matter will not be approved by the government just because I put forward such a constructive opinion. There are too many problems in it. However, I want all Japanese people to know that the urban space they live in can be improved better in this way and method."
After walking out of the briefing, reporters immediately gathered around: "Ai Feijun, can you answer our questions? Ai Feijun, there seems to be no positive response from many people to your bold design. Do you think this is what you expect?"
"Ai Feijun, do you really want to cooperate with Yamato on the airport expansion project? Please answer our questions!"
"Ai Feijun..."
With Yuyou Nishio, accompanied by Iron Sasaki and Yamato Company, Ai Fei walked into the rest room next to him: "Oh, I'm so tired!" As soon as he entered the door, he lost his original demeanor, and even dragged his suit down and put it aside. Only then did everyone notice that his back of his shirt was wet with sweat.
"Mr. President?" Yuyu Nishio didn't know where to get a cup full of water and handed it to him. The latter took it over and drank it all in one go: "Do you know what the most inhumane explanation would be? It's just that there is no time to drink water, and the explainer kept talking! He didn't even prepare a glass of water? He didn't pay attention to details!"
"Ai Jun? Do you think such a speech can really make our cooperation continue?"
Ai Fei smiled: "Mr. Matsushita, I think you must know that the biggest purpose of my speech this time is not to be able to obtain the final choice, but to burn a fire! A burning blazing on a high place, even the person who ignited this torch straightened his arms and could not touch it, a burning blazing blazing fire!"
“Eh?”
Ai Fei saw that not only Matsushita, but even the people on his side were a little confused about his words. He smiled and took out a stack of information from the briefcase he carried with him: "This is information about several current supervisors of the Ministry of Culture. You guys, in addition to Hiroko Sakai who may lose some of his motivation due to his age, he may become the next Minister of the Ministry of Culture. I don't think it's more than the following people: Shiroko Inoue, who is the current Vice Governor, Aoko Lei Ta Miyazaki, who is the assistant to the governor, and Mutsuki Watanabe, who is the director of the decision-making office in the province, the competition will definitely be among them. I originally wanted to add the name of Iris, but..."
"His qualifications are still too shallow? Ai Jun wants to say that, right?"
"Hey! That's right. He has been the second minister of the provincial construction department for too short. If there is no strong external force intervention, the possibility of becoming a governor is almost zero. So... Among these three people, the situation of Shiroko Inoue has the most say, so you can wait and say it later. The other two, 52 and 54 years old, have their own ideas about their own strength and advantages and disadvantages in this competition. What I want to do, well, to be precise, is what we have to do, is to bet on everyone. This bet on one hand is not an investment nature, but by stimulating their abilities, to achieve our goals through such a project."
"...For each of them, if such a construction can be started smoothly and can be completed during their tenure, the positive effect will be unquestionable and will have an unparalleled impact on the other party in the political arena. So, I have absolute confidence. If they are shocked by my remarks, my designs, and my plans at this briefing, then after they calm down, especially when all my plans are published in the newspaper and have received great response from the people, they will seriously think about what this matter means to them!"
Shimoshi Tokura and Matsushima Masaya exchanged a look, and both saw each other's surprise: "Ai Jun, is this a plan you had thought of before you became the lecturer?"
"What if I organized it while serving as an interpreter? Would you not believe it?"
"Haha..." The two of them didn't say anything, but they exchanged their eyes again, but that expression could easily make people come out, and they didn't believe his words at all.
In fact, Ai Fei was indeed sorting out his language while explaining. He had the sudden ability in this area, which was to communicate with others, especially when communicating with many people. However, this was not a good opportunity to explain these things. Facing the other party's disbelief, he had to shrug with regret: "Gentlemen, should we participate in the American explanation?"
Chapter completed!
