Quickly, the Japanese representative of the Japanese side, who was responsible for rare earth negotiations with Fan Investment Group, asked to meet immediately and there were important things to announce.

After hearing the news, Shigeru Murata felt a sudden slap in his heart, and he didn't know what happened again.

Since receiving this task, Japan's explanation to him was to complete the transaction as soon as possible, for fear that the business would go bankrupt due to the crisis of Sino-US relations.

There are offensive and defensive alliances between Japan and the United States. Once China and the United States have a feud, China-Japan relations will inevitably be greatly affected. Strategic resources such as rare earths are 100% to be used as bargaining chips. In a short period of time, Japan will inevitably not be able to obtain sufficient rare earth resources, which will be a very heavy blow to various new technology projects in Japan.

Therefore, Shigeru Murata feels that his arrow has a great responsibility and must do his best to win this big order to meet the domestic government's expectations for him and live up to expectations.

Shigeru Murata immediately rushed to Jinjiang Hotel and contacted Pan Rushan, the negotiator of Fan's Investment Group.

Sure enough, Pan Rushan said to him with a serious face, "Mr. Murata, I am very sorry to notify you that this business will not be negotiated. For your losses, we will compensate you according to the terms of the breach of contract, and transfer the liquidated damages of 100 million US dollars to your established account within seven days. I personally express my deep regret for this and hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Thank you!"

After Pan Rushan finished speaking, he shook hands with Murata Shigeru with a dull look, then turned around and prepared to leave.

This time Murata reacted, hurriedly grabbed Pan Rushan's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Wait, Mr. Pan. What happened? Why did the business we had negotiated before suddenly stop? If we don't understand this matter, it will be difficult for us to go back and explain to Tokyo. Please tell me the truth!"

Pan Rushan was pulled by Murata Shiro, and he couldn't get out of the way. He said to Murata Shiro helplessly, "This matter involves state secrets, and it is not convenient for us to tell you. The current order was issued directly by our President Fan, and we can't do anything about it. Thank you, please let it go.

”

Then Pan Rushan shook his sleeves and walked away.

Shigeru Murata was stunned on the spot. He was completely confused about what was going on.

After a while, he remembered to contact Tokyo and report the accident here clearly to them. Ask them what instructions were there?

The news in Tokyo was indeed very well-versed. Half an hour later, I replied to Shigeru Murata. Just two hours ago, there was a news from the Chinese government that it was said that in view of the changes in the international situation, they decided to adjust the export scale of some strategic resource areas accordingly to give priority to ensuring the needs of domestic military and industrial areas.

Among them, the list of strategic materials for land announced involves the news that five rare earth metals, such as tb(~), dy(dys), y(), tmm(~), and lu(), are prohibited from exporting places.

Oh my God! After hearing this, Shigeru Murata felt a little dizzy. This time he was ordered to come to China to discuss with Fan Investment Group, mainly these five rare earth metals. This move by the Chinese government seemed to be targeting him.

Under such circumstances, Murata Shigeru had to consider whether the Chinese government's intention to prohibit exports was related to the Japanese plan to buy large quantities of rare earth metals from Fan Wubing. Otherwise, it would be a coincidence.

He calmed down and asked what instructions were available in Japan.

After thinking about it in Japan, he told him that this is an important moment that concerns Japan's national destiny. If this matter cannot be done, Japan's domestic rare earth reserve plan will be still in the womb, and the active implementation of the new power vehicle project and some sensitive military technologies will be greatly hit and the losses will be severe.

Therefore, Japan does not recommend him to charge liquidated damages, but to continue to negotiate with Fan Investment Group and offer a sky-high price to buy this batch of strategic materials in case of emergency needs. Otherwise, once the rumor becomes a real decision, he will not have the opportunity to buy these resources again.

After learning the inside story, Shigeru Murata felt extremely heavy. He knew very well that this time the incident was the biggest crisis he had encountered since he started business, but it was also a great opportunity.

When things fail, if I can convince Fan Investment Group to change my mind and complete this transaction, my popularity in China will immediately increase rapidly and become a hero who has made outstanding contributions to the Japanese nation.

Judging from the fact that China is willing to allow itself to offer sky-high purchases of rare earth resources from Fan Investment Group, it is enough to show the importance of this batch of rare earth resources in China.

Shigeru Murata thought about it and felt that he could not let it go

Yes, we must exert all subjective initiative and directly talk to Fan's investment collection |: When it comes to face-to-face, give him conditions that he cannot accept, and promote this matter.

Once you lose it, it is difficult to reproduce it. Murata Shigeru knows this very well.

Just when Murata Shiro was worried, Fan Wubing was thanking Boss Zhu, "Thank you, Boss Zhu, for your help. Once this news is released, our business will be better."

Boss Zhu replied reluctantly, "Although I didn't speak in person, the news from my secretary will also make many people feel uneasy. Although you are happy, we have to deal with a lot of trouble."

In order to increase the price of rare earths, Fan Wubing specially asked Boss Zhu for help, spreading rumors among the senior management of the State Council that the country would ban the export of five types of rare earth metals. As expected, the effect was very obvious. Some people have reported that the Japanese are very sensitive to this news and have begun to prepare to send great influential business politicians to China to prevent this rumor from becoming a fact.

That's why Boss Zhu said that he was in trouble. The primary public relations target for these people to visit China is him, the vice premier who is responsible for national economic work.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "That's nothing. Besides asking you for help, I can't come up with a better idea. As for the fact that it has caused you a lot of trouble, I can't help it. When necessary, you can talk to them about the exchange price, squeeze some benefits, and then announce that this matter will not be considered for the time being. Besides, most of the profits this time have to be invested in the construction of national defense technology, which is a great thing."

Boss Zhu nodded and said, "If it weren't for the benefit of the country and the people, would you think I would be with you? The Vice Premier helped you lie and deceive people. This matter was spread and made many foreigners laugh at me?"

"The false reputation is meaningless. Americans are so naughty, can't they still live a very comfortable life?" Fan Wubing said to Boss Zhu with a smile, "If you want to be a politician, you cannot ignore the cultivation of the word "hero-black"!"

Fan Wubing had just finished the phone call with Boss Zhu, and a female secretary came to report that it was the Japanese negotiator Shiro Murata who came to visit and asked Mr. Fan to receive it.

"He came very quickly, but I'm in a hurry to see him because Mao was anxious to see him?" Fan Wubing smiled, and then said to the female secretary, "I'll go upstairs to water the flowers. You can just make excuses. If there is no red envelope, I'll send it to you. Isn't it too disrespectful to you?"

"Mr. Fan allows us to receive red envelopes?" The girls immediately started to chatter and excited.

"This time it's a franchise, it's not possible." Fan Wubing nodded and agreed.

If all the secretaries of their own company learn to earn money, the company's image will not be greatly affected? Fan Wubing has relatively low requirements for female secretaries, which is nothing more than just working strictly according to the boss's will when needed. As for the others, it is really not very important.

Of course, you can't look too cold.

Murata Shiro was unable to see Fan Wubing, and was anxious and angry. Several bubbles appeared on the corner of his mouth. Until someone woke him up and said that if he didn't do the trick, they would not work hard in front of the boss. So Murata Shiro suddenly realized and was anxious to buy a set of diamond jewelry for each of the six female secretaries and give a big red envelope. Only then did he get a relatively loose reply.

Two days later, Shigeru Murata was received by Fan Wubing in the office.

Boss Zhu cooperated well. Although foreign journalists were chasing and questioning whether the rumors about the export restrictions on rare earth metals were true, the State Council refused to respond positively, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs also ambiguously practiced Tai Chi without any slightest expression, which made everyone very impatient.

Every day, outside the General Office of the State Council, a large group of journalists and embassy personnel from some countries were surrounded there. If you want to spy out more accurate news, Murata Shigeru and others were also listening to the news there.

If someone comes forward to refute the rumors, then I will not be in a hurry. However, until now, I have not found any evidence of the State Council's appearance to clarify the facts, which makes people feel a little strange. Everyone judged that the rumors this time were not groundless.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese even began urgent consultations, preparing to ask Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto to call Boss Zhu personally to inquire about the relevant matters, but later they thought it was wrong. If the official conversation at the prime minister level began, what they said would definitely take action.

Once Boss Zhu is sure that the rumor is true, the Japanese will be hit hard, which is something they can't afford.
Chapter completed!
