HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 549 Island Weightlifting Champion
They just find any excuse to make money, and even resort to using the tax and insurance systems, which are the foundation of the country, just to satisfy their own selfish desires.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a shameless guy has not appeared in the island country's political arena for a long time.

When those in power become like this, one can imagine the future of the country.

"What do you mean by one capital, one road, two prefectures and forty-three counties? They are all carried on the shoulders of you, Kanjie Youxiaolu?"

"From what you said, you are planning to become the island country's weightlifting champion?"

Kaifu Shunsuke was not polite and questioned directly in a cold voice.

"This country, this world, can't keep turning around without anyone else."

"If we can't find a true leader, can't we find someone who wants to be an official?"

"It's just flattery, telling lies with open eyes, and making money. Who can't do that?"

Since it was a closed-door meeting anyway, Kaifu Toshiki didn't bother to pretend and just started directly hitting the nail on the head.

"Why? You don't accept it?"

"Don't think that everyone is stupid. Who doesn't know that you own several villas in America?"

"Both of your children attend private schools ranked in the top ten in the United States. Not counting sponsorship fees, the annual tuition is hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

"Based on your legal salary, you won't be able to earn this much money even if you were given a hundred years."

Having his darkest secrets exposed so blatantly by Kaifu Toshiki in front of so many people, even Kankai Yukoji, who was so thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush subconsciously.

He stammered and tried to explain, but still couldn't say anything.

After all, it's true that he loves money, but he also wants face.

"So, let's not discuss this kind of thing, but start to deal with the aftermath of the bombing of the Yasukuni Shrine."

"Right now, this is the most important thing, if not the only one."

The bombing of the Yasukuni Shrine has already caused an uproar in public opinion.

If a proper solution cannot be found as soon as possible, all of those present here may lose their jobs.

As for the issue of corruption, it has never been a problem.

Whether in the past, present or future, corrupt officials have always existed and will never disappear.

The so-called various cleanup operations are nothing more than a means to eliminate dissidents.

"Yes, the Yasukuni Shrine incident is absolutely the top priority right now."

"The people, as well as various social or semi-official organizations, have long been in chaos."

"If we can't severely punish the murderer, our approval rating in the polls will surely drop to a historic low."

"It really doesn't matter whether this matter can be resolved or not. The most important thing is to appease these people. Otherwise, they might cause some trouble."

Originally, due to the economic bubble, the social atmosphere in the island nation was full of complaints, and now the Yasukuni Shrine incident has happened, which is simply adding fuel to the fire!

If the situation cannot be cooled down and public opinion suppressed as soon as possible, it will definitely become more and more serious, and it is entirely possible that it will trigger a subversive revolution.

What this world lacks the least is people with a caring heart.

"Humph!"

"If it weren't for the national crisis right before our eyes, I would definitely fight you to the bitter end!"

"For the sake of the country and the people, I will not argue with you this time."

Kanjie Youxiaolu said a few words in a pretentious manner, then sat back in his seat angrily, completely ignoring the strange looks cast at him by others.

As long as he is not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.

"Humph, shameless..."

Miyazawa Kiichi muttered something quietly, and Kanjie Yuxiaolu simply pretended not to hear.

"Now the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Ground Police Force have begun coordinating their actions. Let these professionals take care of finding the murderer."

"As for the guidance and communication of public opinion, it is up to us to do it."

"I propose that five ministers from the NEG conduct a national public roadshow."

"In this way, we can let the island people see that we always stand with them and face all natural and man-made disasters together."

Seeing that no one objected, Kaifu Junshu continued to strike while the iron was hot and continued: "These five people must appear in front of the public with sincerity, sincerity, and sincerity again."

"Only in this way can we gain the upper hand in public opinion."

Kanjie You Xiaolu waved his hand and said impatiently: "What's the point of you saying all this? You didn't mention the most crucial issue at all."

"What's the point of just reducing the pressure? We must find a way to channel this public opinion so that this matter can be completely resolved."

"Where is the solution?"

Now, there must be a bigger explosive news than the bombing of the Yasukuni Shrine to divert public attention.

Similarly, this is a common tactic used by public relations companies in the entertainment industry.

"It's very simple. First, spread the word that the cabinet is negotiating with the United States and that the negotiations have entered the most critical moment."

"If the negotiations are successful, the latter will invest trillions of dollars to save the island's financial markets."

"At the same time, we will send a team of negotiation experts to the United States with great fanfare and have them cooperate with our propaganda there."

"As long as this matter is handled well, a large part of the public's attention will be diverted, and everyone's pressure will be relieved a lot."

Kaifu Toshiki has served as prime minister for two terms and has a lot to say about how to deal with such matters.

From a certain perspective, those people are no different from goldfish that only have a memory of seven seconds.

"It's a good idea, but it's only a temporary solution at best."

"Although the public is stupid, they are not fools. Once time drags on for too long, some of them will definitely doubt the truth of the matter."

Negotiating with the United States and restoring the island nation's economy will certainly have a much greater impact than bombing the Yasukuni Shrine.

After all, not all islanders are extreme militarists. Many of them are simply spectators who are here to join in the fun and actually don't care whether the Yasukuni Shrine exists or not.

Whether the economy can recover affects everyone's living conditions, and any normal person will care about it.

"Don't worry, everything is in my plan. This matter should be completely resolved before anyone suspects anything."

Kaifu Toshiki looked very confident and assured.

Kanjie You Xiaolu sneered and said, "Now the situation is urgent, and you still want to keep us in suspense?" "You are so arrogant now, but if you mess up in the end, are you going to cause everyone to be attacked along with you?"

If possible, Kankai Yukoji also wants to take the position of prime minister.

Now a cabinet minister can earn so much money. If he becomes the master of the country, wouldn't the money he earns increase exponentially?
Power is definitely the fastest-changing thing in the world.

"That's right, Prime Minister, you should reveal more or less, so that we can have some confidence."

"That's right. This way, everyone will be more motivated to do things."

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please rest assured that we will not leak the news."

"No matter what, we are now in a situation where we all rise and fall together. No one will joke about their own political future."

Everyone was talking at once, and the intensive attack left Kaibu Toshiki helpless and he had no choice but to respond.

"Okay, then I'll give you a rough outline of my plan."

“Why should we negotiate with the United States?”

"After all, isn't it because the island nation's economy has been going downhill?"

"Looking around the world now, only America's economic strength can save our country."

"As for my plan, it is also very simple. That is to find an organization or a wealthy person with the same financial strength to temporarily serve as the American government."

Perhaps he was a little thirsty. When he said this, Kaifu Toshiki took a big sip from the teacup, lit a cigarette, took a big sip, and then slowly said: "In this way, the people can clearly see the efforts of the cabinet's policy, and the economy will be relieved to a certain extent..."

"Everyone here knows that the harsh conditions proposed by the United States have gone beyond the scope of business and are simply robbery."

"That is, if the Plaza Accord had not been signed, perhaps the island nation's economy would not be in this state now."

When talking about America, everyone was filled with indignation and talked at once, as if it was a struggle session.

The Chinese have always been an extremely contradictory nation. On the one hand, they fear and respect the strong. On the other hand, they hope to surpass the strong one day through endurance and repay all the past humiliations double.

This also makes their perception of America very complicated.

"Okay, okay, you talk a lot, but where can I find such a person?"

"It's easy to find wealthy people and financial groups with strong financial resources, but with the current economic situation of the island nation, who is willing to invest here?"

"If there is no investment, there is no way to boost employment and income. How can the economy improve?"

"Rely on the financial market? Rely on stocks? That's simply nonsense!"

Although Kankai Yukouji had poor personal ethics, he still had professional vision and ability, and he almost instantly saw through the loopholes in Kaibu Toshiki's words.

"Rely on financial markets? Of course not."

"As for the person who is willing to invest, I have already found him. He is the founder of Hutchison, Lin Zehao."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent!
Everyone began to doubt their ears, thinking that they must be hallucinating!
Who is Lin Zehao?

Everyone present knew it clearly!

He is a world-renowned billionaire, with businesses spread across various industries, and most of them are the best!
Although it is impossible to estimate the size of his personal wealth because his company is not listed, a conservative estimate is that his personal assets are definitely among the top five in the world!

He has been living in the island country for some time. During the economic crisis that swept across the country, he bought up countless high-quality assets at the bottom. This shows that he has a sharp eye and a shrewd mind.

How could someone who is so profit-oriented initiate any investment when the island nation's economy is still in rapid decline?

"Stop joking. With the island nation's economy in such a bad state, how could Lin Zehao come to invest?"

“Let me ask you, would you do a business that is obviously losing money?”

The investigation was conducted by You Xiaolu without any mercy, and he immediately questioned loudly.

Kaibu Junshu was not panicked at all, and said slowly: "That's why I say that you can only make money through the power in your hands, and you will never learn the way of business."

"If you could figure it out, you wouldn't be yourself."

"The reason why Lin Zehao was able to start from scratch and develop to where he is today is because he can see things that ordinary people cannot see."

"In short, I have told you everything that can and should be said."

"As for the rest, I'll tell you after the transaction is finalized."

After saying that, Kaifu Toshiki stood up and left the meeting room.

When the others saw this, they all had different expressions and fell into deep thought.

This is what it means to be in a high position: you are able to get access to many policies and news before 99 percent of the people.

For example, Lin Zehao’s plan to invest in the island country is a clear example.

They were wondering if they could take advantage of this foresight and gain some benefits.

the next day.

Kaifu Shunsuke successfully met Lin Zehao in an inconspicuous teahouse.

This matter was kept extremely confidential, and even the prime minister's personal bodyguards responsible for his safety did not show up, in order to reduce the risk of exposure.

After all, once the news of such things leaks, it will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, which will not be worth the cost.

"Mr. Lin, you look a little distorted in the TV media and photos. You are definitely more attractive in person than those video materials."

Kaifu Toshiki spoke with a smile, holding a cup of Italian latte in his hand, like an old man enjoying his retirement life. No one would think that he was the prime minister of a country.

"Mr. Kaifu, you are too kind. In my opinion, the role of images is only to record, not to beautify."

"If you really want to understand someone, it's better to have actual contact."

Lin Zehao wore Burberry sunglasses and a custom-made black Tang suit, on which you could vaguely see a few auspicious clouds embroidered. He also wore cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

The way he’s dressed, he looks just like an old man doing morning exercises in the park.

No one would believe that this is what the world's richest people wear.

"Mr. Lin's words are really philosophical. I wonder what you think of the stock market?"

"Can the vast majority of people really earn enough money to live on, or even transcend social classes and change their destiny, by speculating in stocks?"

"Yesterday, I just discussed this issue with a colleague, but unfortunately we both held different opinions and neither of us could convince the other."

After the island nation's economic bubble burst, Toshiki Kaifu specifically studied this issue.

He felt that if the people of the island had not all been investing in stocks at the time, the situation would never have deteriorated to this extent.
