Due to the special nature of this meeting, no one from the Chinese official was directly involved. The government was only willing to play a matchmaking role in this meeting and was not willing to involve too much. Therefore, the Japanese government delegation arrived in Yan After arriving in Beijing, apart from Dongchen and the media, there was no official representative to greet them.
This also makes the Japanese delegation feel a sense of humiliation. If the Chinese government can come forward at this time and do a face-saving project, it may also create an illusion of inter-governmental talks for the media and the public, so as not to embarrass the Japanese government too much. , however, no official Chinese representative appeared during the entire process, which also made it clear to the world that this meeting was just a communication between the Japanese government and Dongchen Group, the third largest economy in the world, because The blow caused by a private enterprise has forced the Japanese government to bow to the private enterprise and seek solutions. This has indeed caused the Japanese government to lose face in front of the global public.
But no matter what, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Kaieda Momuri, understands that his biggest task is not to save face for the Japanese government. In fact, Japan has been so badly hit by Dongchen, a private enterprise, that the Japanese government has long been left with nothing. His biggest task is to negotiate with Dongchen to see if he can learn from Dongchen's experience in cooperating with American companies to alleviate the severe employment pressure in Japan.
Haijiangtian Baili was full of fear of Dongchen in his heart. He personally led the $100 billion rescue plan. However, as the $100 billion disappeared, Haijiangtian Baili also truly saw Dongchen's strength. None of the millions of people in Japan who have lost their jobs due to Dongchen's attack have had the opportunity to find employment opportunities in the same industry. Because industries such as automobiles and electronics are almost monopolized by Dongchen, companies in this industry must either go bankrupt or cooperate with Dongchen, otherwise they have no chance of survival. Therefore, the Japanese government wants to provide employment to these millions of people. , it is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Kaieda Baili hopes that through his trip to China, he can resolve the conflict between Dongchen and Japan, and this is the best solution in his mind. That is, Dongchen can cooperate with Japanese companies that have been devastated by Dongchen. If these companies can get orders from Dongchen like General Motors and Ford, then millions of jobs can be created in an instant. solve.
"However, Haiedian Baili couldn't help but ask himself, Japan does not have any advantage that can threaten or deter Dongchen, if Dongchen really refuses to cooperate with Japan. Then what method should I use to get Dongchen to agree? When you are completely controlled by others, you have no bargaining chips at all.
Haiedian Baili, who had mixed feelings in his heart, sat in Dongchen's conference room with dozens of people from his team under the arrangement of Dongchen's staff, and even Haiedian Baili had already told Dongchen's staff that They will not accept media interviews, but Dongchen¡¯s staff still make their own decisions. An hour-long media interview was arranged for them.
In the words of Dongchen staff, Dongchen¡¯s leadership hopes that the Japanese side will first hold a media press conference for the global media on this meeting, and then Dongchen will enter the actual meeting process.
Haijiangtian Baili wanted to refuse, but he also heard the implication of Dongchen's words: If you want to meet Dongchen's leader, you must complete this media conference first. Whether you agree or not is up to you.
Haijiangtian Baili understands very well. The real purpose of Dongchen's move was to make Japan look embarrassed and allow the Japanese delegation to be interviewed alone in front of the media. The media would definitely have many questions that would embarrass Japan. How should he answer them? Damn Dongchen, he clearly wants to take this opportunity to give himself a show of strength, make himself lose face, and let Japan lose face, and then talk about business. This is like a trial. Once it is completed, continue If the next level is not completed, even if Dongchen opens the meeting out of love, there may not be any substantive results.
In desperation, Kaieda Baili had no choice but to agree to Dongchen's arrangement, and the Japanese delegation would first complete a media conference alone.
Kaieda Baili organized six senior officials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to attend the press conference with him. Global media poured into Dongchen's media lecture hall. Kaieda Baili sat on the podium of the press conference, and Dongchen The host was filled with a cheerful smile and told the global media in English: "I am very happy that Mr. Mari Kaieda, Minister of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, and many senior managers of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry can attend this press conference. Since the establishment of Dongchen, although it has reached various forms of cooperation with many companies in many countries, it has never received such a high-status guest as Mr. Hai Eda Baili. This is a great honor for Dongchen. Below, We welcome Mr. Mari Kaieda with applause and make a brief speech for this press conference."
The media in the audience burst into applause and cheers. Most of them were waiting to see Kaieda Baili make a fool of himself, while the Japanese media had a look of grief on their faces, watching their Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry being raped by Dongchen¡¯s host on the stage. They were ridiculed and faced with the indiscriminate bombardment from the global media. They wanted to leave with the cameras on their backs, and did not want to see their country's ministers humiliated here. However, this meeting was also related to the extremely severe economic situation in Japan. Neither they nor Haijiada Baili himself could leave angrily.
Baili Haijiangtian said to the microphone with an embarrassed look on his face: "I am honored to come to Yanjing and to the headquarters of Dongchen this time. Dongchen is the best and most powerful company in the world. I think this time, through Our meeting should be able to bring greater mutual benefits to both parties and bring better help to the cooperation between the two parties."
When host Dongchen saw Haijiang Tian Baili saying some superficial remarks, he simply said: "In that case, let's go directly to the media question session."
The British BBC reporter was the first to ask the question, and the question was also very mean. He asked: "Mr. Kaieda Yuri, the Japanese economy has had serious problems in recent days, and the Japanese government's US$100 billion rescue plan has failed. Are you here? When I came to China to meet with Dongchen in person, does it mean that the Japanese government is no longer able to solve domestic economic problems?"
Haijiangtian Baili¡¯s face turned red at this question. He coughed and said with great embarrassment: "As you said, Japan's economy does have some problems, but the purpose of our coming to China this time is more to change some misunderstandings between Dongchen and Japan. Japan as a country An open international trading economy does not want to see the Japanese economy leaving a closed impression to the world, so we hope to convey the Japanese government's open and fair economic awareness through this meeting."
A reporter from Reuters asked without mercy: "When the Japanese people boycotted Dongchen's entry into the Japanese market, I remember that the Japanese media played a role in fueling the incident, and many parties around the world believe that the media unanimously fueled the flames. , because there was an instruction from the Japanese government behind it, can we think that the original Japanese government itself was very repulsive to Dongchen from entering the Japanese market?"
This question made Haijiangtian Baili not sure how to answer for a while. He knew that the other party's point of view was correct, but he could never admit it, and he also wanted to find a cover to get around the problem. This made him feel very embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, Haijiada Baili said: " The Japanese government has no subjective thoughts of rejecting Dongchen's entry into the Japanese market. As for the media's original unified tone, I think it was mostly due to compliance with national consciousness and had nothing to do with the government."
The Reuters reporter smiled slightly and asked: "So what you are saying is that the Japanese people are very repulsive to Dongchen's entry into the Japanese market. Is that right?"
"No, no, no!" Baili Haijiangtian was annoyed, secretly cursing that his answer just now was too incomplete. But if you think about it carefully, it is an obvious fact that Japan resisted Dongchen's entry into the Japanese market. The government, media and people must have a group to pay for it. Therefore, Kaieda Baili said: "I personally think it should be The right-wingers were the first to stir up trouble, and the media was dazzled by narrow-minded nationalism, so they were confused for a while and played a role in promoting this wrong thing. I think this is more of a misunderstanding. , and this time we are here to resolve this misunderstanding."
A reporter from AFP then asked: "Several major industrial chains in Japan have suffered an overall devastating blow, and the domestic economy is in depression. Under such circumstances, it should be very difficult for the Japanese government to find employment for millions of people. At this time, the Japanese government decided to meet with Dongchen. Can it be considered that Japan¡¯s hope of solving the unemployment problem is pinned on Dongchen?¡±
I am almost in tears for hundreds of years, and I am bullied by a dog when I fall flat. I am talking about myself now. The media is deliberately trying to stir up the topic by asking questions like this. If I deny it at this time, it may affect the future. Talks with Dongchen, but if he admits it, it will be like a big slap in the face of the Japanese government, riding a tiger and making it difficult to get off!
However, questions always have to be answered. Kaieda Baili had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "We believe that Japan has been hit hard in the fields of automobiles, electronics, optics, home appliances, etc., while Dongchen has been severely affected in these fields. It has taken absolute initiative in the global market. If Dongchen can cooperate with Japanese companies, Japan's unemployment problem in these fields will be greatly alleviated."
The reporter then asked: "Are you saying that Japan really places its hopes on Dongchen?"
Haijiangtian Baili nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, that's it."
?The reporter got a nod from Kaieda Momuri and sat down with satisfaction. This was the answer he wanted. As soon as Kaieda Momuri said these words, all major media could justifiably use "The Japanese government hopes to solve economic problems." "Put your trust in Dongchen", as the title of the next news, is eye-catching and extremely eye-catching.
The New York Times reporter stood up and said: "Mr. Kaieda Yuri, I can't help but compare the United States and Japan. You know, the United States is a country with a high degree of freedom, and the people's ability to accept foreign things It is also very high. When Dongchen entered the global market, it not only hit Japanese companies, but also hit American companies. Japan thought it was an invasion, but the United States thought it was the normal survival of the fittest in the market economy. Therefore, the United States accepted Dongchen has shouldered the negative impact brought by Dongchen, and at the same time, it has actively sought cooperation with Dongchen. Now it seems that the economy of the United States has improved a lot with the promotion of Dongchen. First of all, it has increased A large number of jobs have been created, and secondly, it has boosted domestic demand. Many links have benefited from this. Thirdly, the popularity of Dongchen automobiles in the United States has caused fuel prices in the United States to continue to fall, and the cpi index has also decreased due to the decline in oil prices. Dongchen The popularity of aviation engines in the United States has also brought the development of American civil aviation to a higher level. Now, Boeing in the United States has become Dongchen¡¯s largest partner, providing more jobs for the United States. The entire industrial chain has been It can be said that the benefits of doubling development are very great. However, Japan has become a negative example for the United States. It blocked the market and boycotted Dongchen, resulting in the extremely severe economic situation in the country. The two faced the same situation. The result was There is such a huge difference. Has the Japanese government ever reflected on this? Do you think there were any decisive failures in the Japanese government¡¯s response and measures to this matter?¡±
Hai Jiangtian Baili is already used to being bombarded by the media. No matter how embarrassing the question is, he has to bite the bullet and answer it. At this moment, faced with such a long speech and criticism from the New York Times reporter, Kaieda Yuri could only nod and said: "You are right. The Japanese government did make a huge mistake in this matter. I think this may be consistent with our usual practice." It is related to the economic positioning of Japan. In the past, export was the absolute main force of Japan¡¯s economy. When Dongchen began to affect Japan¡¯s import and export trade, Japan did try to block Dongchen from the country. But now, we have committed A huge mistake. The health of the international economy lies in its openness and the natural principle of survival of the fittest. Japan's failure to look at this issue with a correct mentality has to be said to be a pity. We have also seen the United States and Dongchen working together The results achieved through cooperation are admirable, so we also hope to solve this problem in a healthier way, and sincerely hope that this meeting can make substantial progress."
As the host, Chinese reporters have never been embarrassed to take the lead in making things difficult for Haijiangtian Baili. However, seeing that so many foreign media were bombarding Haijiangtian Baili, domestic reporters could not sit still. A CCTV reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Kaieda Yuri, I would like to ask, from your personal point of view, what negative impacts has Japan suffered after successfully boycotting Dongchen?"
Kaieda Hirato smiled helplessly and said: "I think you have all seen the negative impact on Japan itself. All the hit industries have serious overcapacity problems. Therefore, companies have laid off massive layoffs, resulting in a large number of unemployed people. The idle hardware has also caused a lot of losses, not to mention the impact on market value and profits, which can be said to be heavy losses."
A Japanese reporter in the audience even had red eyes. Seeing his own Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry being made things difficult and humiliating on the stage, he couldn't help but raise his hand, took the microphone from the Chinese reporter, and said with choked sobs: " Mr. Kaieda Yuri, I have the highest admiration for your endurance, but I can't help but wonder whether Dongchen is really willing to solve Japan's current economic problems. I wonder if you also have the same view as me? What if? Dongchen turned a blind eye to Japan's crisis, so wouldn't all the efforts of the Japanese government have come to nothing? Don't we have other ways to solve domestic economic problems? "
Kaieda Baili cursed in his heart, I endured the humiliation and answered so many questions that made me ashamed, just to get a good start. As soon as you opened your mouth, you used the tone of an angry young man to ask me questions. The questions were false. It's true to criticize Sang and Huai. Aren't you just causing trouble? How should I answer your damn stupid question? If I had my way, would I still be sitting here? As for whether I am accepting humiliation and whether Dongchen is really willing to take action, how do you want me to answer such questions? If you offend Dongchen, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?
Other reporters in the audience were also aware of the indignant attitude of the Japanese reporter. It could be heard from his words that he was very dissatisfied with Dongchen.Full of excitement, they all cheered up and were ready to see how Haijiang Tian Baili would answer this question.
Kaieda Baili racked his brains for a long time, and then said: "I think this journalist friend's wording is a bit inappropriate. I am sitting here without any intention of bearing the humiliation, and all the remarks I made are also inappropriate." It is all out of objectivity and fairness. If we are wrong, it is really wrong. We met with Dongchen in the hope that we can jointly find a solution that is beneficial to both parties. I believe that the leaders of Dongchen will be able to do it. Make the most just and correct decision.¡±
Kaieda Yuri has never suffered such humiliation in his life, and when he was humiliated, he still had to show a posture of repentance and introspection. The only guy who spoke his mind, and almost ruined a big thing, Kaieda Yuri At this moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart and was extremely depressed. I even secretly swore in my heart that if it was impossible to solve the problem after being so wronged this time, then there was no need for me to continue to stay in this position. It would be bad for myself to take the blame and resign early. Saying it might be the best option.
