For example, in the film and television industry, Kobe was one of the first cities in Japan to release movies. There is also a film monument in the park of Kobe. The Kobe City Government has always attached great importance to the development of the imaging industry and actively attracted movies and TV series to be filmed in Kobe. In Kobe

The famous films shot include "The Brave Battle of Rocket Ridge", "The Story of Torajiro", "Godzilla", "Norwegian Wood" and many other well-known works. The imaging industry, including movies and TV series, is very important for the development of tourism in a place.

The role that industry can play has become a role that cannot be ignored in modern society. Not to mention the "Lord of the Rings" that made New Zealand popular, it was the Japanese dramas and later Korean dramas that attracted many Asians.

People travel to Japan and South Korea.

Moreover, agriculture and industry in Kobe's economy now account for less than 20% of the gross national product. The rest are all service industries, among which tourism, commerce and the emerging medical industry have all become the mainstay of Kobe's economy.

An important part of development. Now that Japan's economy is stagnant, how to promote economic development has become the focus of both the Japanese central and local governments.

Japan is a big import and export country. Although the economic data for 2005 have not yet been finalized, it is certain that the total annual import and export volume exceeds one trillion US dollars. With China's economic development, China has gradually become

It has become Japan's important trading partner in Asia and even the world. Even in the past few years, the diplomatic relations between China and Japan have become increasingly cold, but the trade exchanges between the two sides are still very close.

In the view of Sakamoto Tokitada and Kuyasu Ryuzo, if Fang Mingyuan can cooperate, the economic development of Kobe City and even Hyogo Prefecture can get a strong boost!

"Governor, Mayor Kuyasu, the phone number of Vice Chairman Hasegawa of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce and Industry." Sakamoto Tokitada's assistant came over with his cell phone and said softly, "I have something important to tell you, Governor."

"Hasegawa Shoichi?" Sakamoto Tokitada asked in a daze, but he still took the phone, stood up and went to the side to answer the phone. Jiu'an Ryuzo was a little curious. Hasegawa Shoichi asked Sakamoto Tokitada.

What to do? The Kobe Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an important comprehensive group in Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe City. Its members cover many industries such as industry, commerce, agriculture, and finance, as well as large and small enterprises within the territory, and its activities

It is not limited to economic activities, but also plays a non-negligible role in the political circles of Hyogo Prefecture. It can influence the election of regional council members and key officials. However, because Hasegawa Shoichi has a right-wing tendency, he often makes some statements denying the war of aggression.

His words made Ryuzo Kuyasu, a member of the Japanese Social Democratic Party, dislike him.

Not long after, Sakamoto Tokitada came back slowly and said with a wry smile: "Kiuyasu-kun, do you know what Vice President Hasegawa wants from me?"

"What's going on?" Jiu'an Longzao asked casually.

"He wants to connect Star Malaysia Airlines and Kobe New Airport..." Sakamoto Tokitada said.

"What are they going to do with Star Airlines?" Ryuzo Kuan immediately frowned, even interrupting Sakamoto Tokitada. Japanese Star Airlines is an airline established at Osaka Yao Airport.

, was established in 1998 by former Japan Aviation Systems Technical Director Takehori Takaaki and former Japan Airlines President Toyoda Asayasu, and later moved to Kitakyushu Airport at the end of 2004. It now has eleven Boeing 737 passenger aircraft

, operating from Kitakyushu Airport as its core base, it has domestic routes to six airports including Haneda Airport, Fukuoka Airport, and Kansai International Airport. When Star Airlines intended to relocate to Kitakyushu Airport, Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe City

The government actively contacted them, hoping that they could stay at Osaka Yao Airport for one more year and then move directly to Kobe New Airport. However, they were unceremoniously rejected by Star Malaysia Airlines and said that both parties were not happy.

His remarks left a deep impression on Jiu An Longzao.

"Perhaps something has spread to their ears and they want to join in." Sakamoto Tokitada said. The operating rights of the new Kobe Airport are intended to be handed over to Fang Mingyuan. Although this news is only in Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe City,

It is spread among high-rise buildings, but there is no airtight wall in this world.

Jiuan Ryuzo nodded slightly. Only this explanation is the most reasonable. Star Malaysia Airlines originally believed that the new Kobe Airport was too close to Osaka Kansai International Airport, even if it started operations. Without international routes, it would not get enough

The traffic volume is high, and Star-Malaysian Airlines has routes at Osaka Kansai International Airport. Using Kobe New Airport as the core base of Star-Malaysian Airlines would not be worth the gain, so we rejected their request. Now it is definitely wrong to go back on their word.

He saw that if Fang Mingyuan takes over the operating rights of Kobe New Airport, there will be huge business opportunities. At least if Kobe New Airport can operate international routes, this means that routes to the Asian continent and China can be opened in the future. And Qin Xi

Airport Group Company is already one of the important airport operating companies in China, and it holds the rights to operate airports in several top cities in China!

After careful consideration, he and Sakamoto Tokitada decided to follow the example of Narita International Airport, Central Japan International Airport and Kansai International Airport to establish a new company to be responsible for operations. In this way, there is no need to wait for the approval of the new bill, thereby shortening the time.

Secondly, it can also circumvent the requirements of Japanese domestic laws. Japanese law does not allow foreign investment to enter the airport operation industry on its own. This is the case for the three companies Narita International Airport Co., Ltd., Chubu Centrair International Airport Co., Ltd. and Kansai International Airport Co., Ltd.

It was jointly established by a number of domestic and foreign shareholders.

"If I remember correctly, the major shareholder of Star Malaysia Airlines should be President Toyoda Asayasu, right?" Sakamoto Tokitada said, "Who is the second largest shareholder?"

"Japan S International Travel Agency holds 28.9% of the shares, and Toyota Chaojing's shares seem to be more than 30%." Jiu Anlong said, "If there is no change. Star Malaysia Airlines No. 1

The three major shareholders should be Japan Airlines." At the beginning, Jiuan Ryuzo mainly dealt with Star Malaysia Airlines, so we knew more about its situation.

"Japan Airlines..." Sakamoto Tokitada said. Japan Airlines is the largest airline in Japan and the largest airline in Asia. It is also the third largest airline in the world, transporting more than 40 million passengers every year.

, one of the world's top 500 companies. Based at Narita International Airport and Tokyo International Airport, it has more than 200 destinations around the world! There are more than 1,000 domestic flights per day and more than 1,700 international flights per week. Jiu'an

Ryuzo nodded speechlessly. Although he did not like Hasegawa Shoichi, nor did he like the behavior of Star Malaysia Airlines, he had to admit that if Star Malaysia Airlines was willing to join, Japan

If the airlines lobby above, things will be much easier to handle.

"Governor Sakamoto, do you think Japan Airlines was behind Star Malaysia Airlines' decision to join?" Ryuzou Kuan frowned, "It is said that it has always wanted to expand its routes in major cities in China. But I believe you also

You know, the airports in several major cities in China are now facing saturation of routes, and Qinxi Airport Group Company has airports in several first-tier cities in China."

It’s no secret that the majority of Japan Airlines’ profits come from international routes. At that time, half of Japan Airlines’ profits came from routes with the United States. Now, it can be said that routes between Japan and the United States have long been established.

It is already saturated and the competition is extremely fierce, but China's aviation market is in the ascendant. There is still a lot of room for development. The number of tourists coming to Japan from China is growing every year, and the economic exchanges between Japan and China are also very important.

With a large number of Japanese people traveling between the two countries, the Chinese aviation market has become an emerging market that Japanese airlines cannot ignore.

"Well, especially in China's capital and Shanghai, Qinxi Airport Group Company has airports." Sakamoto Tokitada agreed. The reason why they chose to hand over the operating rights of Kobe's new airport to Fang Mingyuan is precisely based on this.

Of course it won’t work if the airport doesn’t have airlines stationed there, but it also won’t work if the airlines don’t have permission from the airport!

"I think it's best for us to keep a neutral attitude on this matter. It's best for Fang Jun to decide how the new company will be formed in the future and who the shareholders will be. Star Malaysia Airlines is willing to join, but we don't

Block it, but it is impossible to put pressure on Fang Jun for them, whether it can join, and how many shares it holds..." Jiuan Ryuzo muttered. According to Japanese law, this kind of company must be a Japanese-funded enterprise that must hold a controlling stake.

But this can work. For example, Fang Mingyuan can bring in Japanese companies he trusts, such as Sega Corporation. Although Fang Mingyuan's own shares do not account for a controlling stake, there will be no problem if he adds the shares of his allies.

Sakamoto Tokitada understood what Jiuan Ryuzo meant. Although Star Malaysia Airlines may also have taken a fancy to the influence of Qinxi Airport Group Company in the Chinese aviation market, this does not mean that it will not strive for it in the new company.

With greater influence, and Japan Airlines behind it, this will inevitably lead to conflicts with Fang Mingyuan, and it is clear that neither side is suitable for them to stand on.

"Governor, Fang Jun's car will arrive at the door in three minutes." The assistant reminded in a low voice.

"Well, let's talk about this later!" Sakamoto Tokitada stood up and said, "Go and greet Fang Jun first."

"Fang Jun, welcome back to Kobe!" Jiuan Ryuzo held Fang Mingyuan's hand and laughed enthusiastically, "Huh?" At this time, he and Sakamoto Tokitada realized that the attire of Fang Mingyuan and his party seemed a bit too solemn.

, as if I had just attended someone's funeral.

"Governor Sakamoto and Mayor Jiu'an, you two have been kept waiting for a long time. This time, you failed to say hello in advance and came presumptuously, causing trouble to you two." Fang Mingyuan said calmly.

"Fang Jun said this is too outrageous. All of us in Hyogo Prefecture will never forget Fang Jun's kindness back then. If we could have listened to Fang Jun's kind words at that time, we would not have suffered such tragic casualties.

." Sakamoto Tokitada sighed, "We have long wanted to repay Mr. Fang for his kindness back then. This time we hope that we can reach cooperation, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of the wishes of us Hyogo Prefecture people."

Zheng Jiayi glanced at Sakamoto Tokitada. This guy spoke better than he sang. It was obvious that after the completion of the new Kobe Airport, there was no hope of profit. Then she thought of Fang Mingyuan, but she made it sound as if Fang Mingyuan had taken advantage of this matter.

Similar.

"Governor Sakamoto speaks Mandarin well, doesn't he?" Fang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile. Although Sakamoto Tokitada's tone was a bit harsh and his speech was not very fluent, it was beyond Fang Mingyuan's expectations.

"Fang Jun is joking. I worked in the capital of your country for six years, and I learned it during that time." Sakamoto Tokitada smiled and said, "Fang Jun, this is not the place to talk. Please come in."

"He didn't recognize Lin Lian and Lin Rong, but he did recognize Uda Guangli. Moreover, how could it be an ordinary woman who could be by Fang Mingyuan's side.

Fang Mingyuan and others walked into the villa under the guidance of Sakamoto Tokitada and Jiu'an Ryuzo. Sakamoto Tokitada smiled and said: "This is a property of my family. If Fang Jun is satisfied, you can stay here. Next to Five

There is a villa ten meters away where you can arrange your entourage. The security here is very good, so Fang Jun can rest assured."

"Governor Sakamoto is interested!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Then I would rather be respectful than obey. Well, I just attended the funeral of Mr. Toshiro, a veteran of your country, in Kyoto." He also noticed Sakamoto Tokitada and Kuyasu Ryuzo.

Looking at him in surprise, although they didn't ask, he still explained.

"Ah? Toshiro passed away?" Jiu'an Ryuzao said in surprise. In the past two days, he had been dizzy in preparation for Fang Mingyuan's sudden arrival in Kobe. The death of someone in the country was naturally impossible to cause.

his attention.

"Well, at the funeral held today, Mayor Kuan is a member of the Social Democratic Party, right? Former Prime Minister Murayama also attended with me." Fang Mingyuan said. Tomiichi Murayama was the first leader of the Social Democratic Party after the name was changed.

"Murayama-senpai also attended Toshiro's funeral?" Ryuzou Kuayasu was even more surprised. After Tomiichi Murayama retired from politics, he had rarely been active. How could he attend Toshiro's funeral in person?

"Mayor Jiu'an, you can pay attention to today's "Asahi Shimbun" and TV Tokyo. They should broadcast this news." Fang Mingyuan took a box handed over by Zheng Jiayi, put it on the coffee table in front of him and said, "This is Murayama-senpai.
