Chapter 304: Showing Goodwill
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Dongsheng led Han Wenwen, Angus, Lu Chen and others to the Kyoto restaurant agreed with Yamashita Katsuyi.
The Kyoto restaurant is run by a Japanese immigrant from Melbourne. It has a history of 30 years. It is famous for its authentic Japanese cuisine and provides accommodation services in the backyard. It is very famous in the local area.
Many Japanese people choose to live in Kyoto restaurants after coming to Melbourne, and Yamashita Yasuhito is no exception. They have a small courtyard with an elegant environment in the backyard of the Kyoto restaurant.
"Mr. Zhao, please." A young woman in a kimono was waiting at the door of the restaurant. When she saw Zhao Dongsheng coming, she bowed to him first, then led the way in front with a smile, and led Zhao Dongsheng and his group into the store.
The business of the restaurant is very popular, and the dining tables in the hall are already full of people, including Japanese and local white people, and many waiters in kimonos are busy shuttled and running.
"Mr. Zhao is here, and the glory is shining." Under the guidance of the young woman, Zhao Dongsheng and others walked through the hall and came to a private room behind. Yamashita Katsuyi was kneeling on the tatami inside and talking to people. After seeing Zhao Dongsheng, he smiled and stood up to greet him, speaking fluent Chinese, while when he invited Zhao Dongsheng yesterday, he spoke in English.
"Mr. Yamashita has been awarded too much." Zhao Dongsheng was a little surprised by this. He smiled slightly and took off his shoes and put on the tatami. Han Susu followed in, while Angus, Lu Chen and others were arranged in another room.
The other person in the room was Yamashita Yamashita's assistant, and his classmate Taisho, who was the most trusted friend of Yamashita Yamashita. The two had a close relationship.
After both sides sat down at the dining table, the waitress in kimono began to serve the dishes. Yamashita Yamashita introduced each dish to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile. The main dishes were traditional Japanese sushi, sashimi, sake and teppanyaki, and the table was filled with plates and plates.
Zhao Dongsheng actually had eaten Japanese cuisine before, but Zhao Weiguo had never been exposed to it, so he pretended not to understand. When Yamashita Yamashita Yama nodded and tried it out in a novel way.
Han Wenwen felt nauseous when Japanese cuisine was the first time a girl was in the sedan chair. When she saw that Kang Yi from Yamashita actually invited Zhao Dongsheng to eat sashimi without any cooking, she felt nauseous and was very uncomfortable with it.
Since Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita and Zhao Dongsheng were chatting and laughing at the table, the atmosphere on the scene was very relaxed and harmonious. The two talked about the eight major Chinese cuisines from Japanese cuisines. It can be seen that Yamashita Yamashita is very familiar with China. Not only is it accurate in using idioms, but it has also conducted in-depth research on food culture.
"Mr. Zhao, now all natural energy is in the hands of Western companies. It is really difficult for our Asian companies to get a piece of the pie." While talking and laughing, Yamashita Yamashita poured Zhao Dongsheng a glass of sake and said meaningfully, "Mr. Zhao was able to grab Oster from Lodalo this time, which really gave us Asian companies a breath."
Yamashita Yamashita is telling the truth. Among the mineral companies that participated in the acquisition of Oster this time, only Tianyu Group and Yamashita Group are Asian companies, while the others are European and American companies.
"This time it was just a lucky draw. Compared with Luodaluo, our Tianyu Group is just a primary school student in the mining industry, and there are many things to learn." Zhao Dongsheng smiled slightly and said to Yamashita Katsuya quietly, "Mr. Yamashita, your Yamashita Group has achieved considerable achievements in the crude oil field. It is really admirable to have firmly stood up."
From Yamashita Yamashita's tone, Zhao Dongsheng vaguely felt the intention of his desire to form an alliance with him, otherwise he would not have distinguished it with Western companies and Asian companies.
"You don't know that our company has paid a considerable price for those oil fields. Those Western crude oil companies try every means to squeeze us." Yamashita Yamashita shook his head with a wry smile, and raised the wine glass in his hand at Zhao Dongsheng, "It's hard to describe it!"
"We Chinese have a saying that "Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, no one knows what will happen in the future. I believe that one day this pattern will change." Zhao Dongsheng laughed, touched a wine glass with Kang Yi from Yamashita, and drank it all in one go.
"Yes, thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi!" Yamashita Kang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and drank all the wine in the cup. Zhao Dongsheng's words were exactly what he wanted.
He is not willing to accept the current situation of world energy, especially Japan is a large energy importer, and more than 95% of the energy must be imported. If it cannot occupy a place in the world's energy field, then Japan's development will be very passive in the future.
This is also the reason why Yamashita Yamashita invited Zhao Dongsheng to have a meal here today. Yamashita Yamashita believes that the most important thing now is to unite forces to break the dominance of Western companies in the energy field and seize the right to speak in the international energy field. Warwick Group is the force he wants to unite.
If he can build a poor and careless small factory into the current Warwick Group with a market value of 20 billion US dollars in just six years, and defeat Lodallo when acquiring Oster with a market value of 10 million US dollars, then Yamashita Katsuyi believes that Zhao Dongsheng is definitely qualified to be his partner. Of course, he also regards Zhao Dongsheng as his strongest competitor.
However, in Yamashita Yamashita Yama's view, Zhao Dongsheng will be his strong support in the market at present. The two can not only cooperate in the energy field, but also in other fields, such as ships, aviation and industrial manufacturing.
You should know that behind Zhao Dongsheng is a huge market with a population of more than one billion and the economy is developing rapidly. It is a killing of two birds with Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita.
"Not good, the lady has been robbed." Just as Yamashita Yamashita was about to pour wine for Zhao Dongsheng again and discuss the cooperation between the two sides in depth, a person with a bodyguard suddenly broke in and said to Yamashita Yamashita in Japanese.
"What!" Yamashita Kang Yi's face changed when he heard this, and he stood up, said in Japanese, then bowed to Zhao Dongsheng, and said to Zhao Dongsheng in Chinese with apologetic expression, "Mr. Zhao, I have encountered some unexpected situation here. I will make up for it in the future. I hope he can forgive the places where the hospitality is not good."
"Anyway, I'm almost full. If you have something to do, go and do it first." Zhao Dongsheng stood up and said to Yamashita Katsuya with a smile.
"Boss, what happened?" Yamashita Kang Yi then led the three Daoshita away in a hurry. Zhao Dongsheng looked at the backs of the two with curiosity, thinking in his mind who the lady the bodyguard called was from the Yamashita family. At this time, Han Wenwen beside him asked suspiciously.
Han Wenwen has learned English and French for more than two years, but she has not had time to learn Japanese, so she cannot understand the bodyguard's words, but she knows that Zhao Dongsheng is very proficient in Japanese.
"A lady from the Yamashita family was kidnapped." Zhao Dongsheng sat down at the dining table, picked up a sushi with chopsticks and took a bite. "They are busy with theirs. We eat ours. It's a pity that such a good thing was wasted."
Since Kang Yi of Yamashita did not reveal the news of the kidnapping to Zhao Dongsheng, Zhao Dongsheng naturally had to be unaware of it, otherwise he would be meddling in other people's business. God knows what is involved in it.
Han Susu sat down and seemed a little restless when she heard this, worried that the Kyoto restaurant would not be safe. After all, someone has already trouble Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita, and this place can be said to be Yamashita Yamashita Yamashita's base camp in Melbourne. If the two sides conflict, it would be bad.
However, Zhao Dongsheng sat firmly on Diaoyutai and looked no worried at all. It was obvious that the lady from the Yamashita family was kidnapped outside. The Kyoto restaurant is Yamashita Yamashita's home court. The other party is not stupid and will not come to this place to cause trouble.
When Zhao Dongsheng left the Kyoto restaurant, it was already 8:30. The young woman who had previously welcomed Zhao Dongsheng in in a kimono sent him out politely.
"Let Han Shaohui ask what happened to Kang Yi from the mountain?" On the way back, Zhao Dongsheng, who was sitting in the back row and resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said to Han Susu in the passenger seat. Although he was not going to interfere in this matter, since he had encountered it, he always had to understand the reason.
"Okay." Han Susu turned around and nodded to Zhao Dongsheng when she heard this. She actually wanted to figure out what was going on.
"Mayor Zhao, how big is the mineral company you acquired in Australia? Minister Yan of the Ministry of Geology and Mining called me, hoping that the Mining Corporation under the Ministry of Geology and Mining will cooperate with your Warwick Group to develop Australian minerals." As soon as Han Susu finished speaking, Zhao Dongsheng's cell phone rang. Zhou Haoran was called, and he sounded in a good mood.
"Secretary Zhou, it is Australia's third largest mining company and has a relatively considerable mine in Australia." Zhao Dongsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. The Mining Corporation's books should not have much money now, so the so-called "cooperation" is worth discussing. Then he smiled quietly, "We welcome domestic units to develop together with us. I wonder how much they can invest in?"
"How much does it cost?" Zhou Haoran seemed a little surprised, then understood what Zhao Dongsheng meant, so he laughed, "How much do you think they can pay?"
"Secretary, how can I know how much they can pay? But this mineral company has a market value of 6 billion US dollars. How much they can pay, then just invest in proportion." Zhao Dongsheng said with a smile without taking this sentence.
"You, you!" Zhou Haoran saw that Zhao Dongsheng answered without any leakage, and couldn't help but shake his head. Knowing that he was resistant to this matter, he said with a smile, "Let your horizons be a little bit open, don't just focus on your own jars and jars, look at the problem from the overall situation."
Where can the Mining Corporation have money to invest? Otherwise, Minister Yan of the Ministry of Geology and Mining would not have found Zhou Haoran and directly asked the Mining Corporation to discuss cooperation with Warwick Group.
Although Warwick Group is only a department-level unit and the Mining Corporation is a deputy ministerial-level unit, and the levels of the two parties are not equal, there is a Weill Electric Group with a market value of more than US$20 billion under Warwick Group, and its total assets have far exceeded that of the Mining Corporation. Therefore, the Mining Corporation had to lower its stature to discuss cooperation with Warwick Group.
Although the Mining Corporation is the leader in the domestic mineral industry, due to funding issues, there are no overseas mines. This time, Warwick Group quietly took Oster down, which changed the power structure of Australian minerals in one fell swoop. The news came to the Mining Corporation, which surprised the people of the Mining Corporation. They never expected that Warwick Group was so rich that it was so rich that it would throw more than one billion Chinese coins out.
As the leader of the domestic mining industry, the Mining Corporation was very embarrassed after receiving this news. They should have done the acquisition of an internationally famous large mining company like Oster, but unexpectedly, it was completed by a subsidiary of a small prefecture-level municipal enterprise, which really made them lose face.
If Tianyu Group is in China, then the Ministry of Geology and Minerals, as the supervisory unit, can intervene and facilitate cooperation between Tianyu Group and the Minerals Corporation. However, Tianyu Group's headquarters is in Paris, and the Ministry of Geology and Minerals is beyond the reach and is willing but powerless. Therefore, the call from Minister Yan of the Ministry of Geology and Minerals to Zhou Haoran was called. No matter what, the Geology and Minerals Corporation and Warwick Group are both state-owned enterprises. Everyone's basic interests are consistent and have a solid foundation of cooperation. There are no obstacles to communication between them.
To put it bluntly, as long as Hedong Province reaches an agreement with the Ministry of Geology and Minerals, Oster will be able to transfer it from Tianyu Group to the Mineral Corporation in a blink of an eye.
