After Koizumi Hongzi was helped down by the old housekeeper, Chi Feichi stayed on the deck, listening to the noise of the animals, and chatting with Sawada Hiroki.
“Grandpa said that the headquarters of the new consortium will not be in the UK,” Hiroki Sawada asked in a low voice, “Does that mean it will be in Japan?”
“No,” Chi Feichi said, “it should be in Massachusetts, the United States.”
Sawada Hiroki frowned in confusion, "But we have no foundation in the United States... Even if Thomas Company had connections in the past, with the collapse of Thomas, those connections were all dispersed. After grandpa annexed the company, there were not many left. The former large partners
Cooperation also needs to be renegotiated, and they have some connections in the UK and Japan, and their relationship with the officials is also good..."
"It's because we have a good relationship that we can't choose." Chi Feichi started to add ice cubes and Garak wine into the glass. "Which side the headquarters is located will be helpful to that side's economy and people's employment situation. No matter where the headquarters is chosen,
Which side is on which side? The other side will definitely have opinions. If you choose Japan, the Queen will be unhappy. If you choose the United Kingdom, my father is a police officer in Japan, and people connected with the political circles will be dissatisfied. This is dissatisfaction based on comparison.
The chosen party will feel that another country is more important in the eyes of my parents, and choosing a third party will prevent them from comparing each other. There will also be an excuse to 'open up new markets'. As long as they invest more in comprehensive commerce, they will expand the US market.
Connecting with these two parties will not only benefit us, but their profits will also be improved, and they will become more and more supportive of this decision."
Hiroki Sawada nodded thoughtfully, "I seem to understand."
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and added blood to the cup, then made another cup of 'brain' drink, and said softly, "Also, in the political circles of Britain and Japan, not many people are controlled by consortiums, and when consortiums have developed to a certain extent,
For the sake of interests, there will definitely be disputes and conflicts between the two sides. The queen or my father's friends will be in trouble at that time, and the friendship between the two parties will fade through rejection and discussion. But the United States is different. Politicians must have the support of donors, and the support of capital
The tolerance level is higher, and even if they can't tolerate it, they won't feel too sad if they fall out without the constraints of past friendships."
“Do you think grandpa and grandma are planning to get involved in politics?” Hiroki Sawada thought for a while, “The previous Makike Group and Field Group didn’t seem to interfere in politics, and they just maintained friendly relations with those people...”
"I don't know what they are thinking, but this is the best thing to do," Chi Feichi was not in a hurry to drink, and patiently explained to Hiroki Sawada, "If the headquarters is to be set in the United States, then Thomas Company's original location will be in Massachusetts."
Massachusetts is the best choice, and it has the world's top universities, a good academic atmosphere, and outstanding talents from all walks of life, which is conducive to attracting researchers and talents in all aspects. There are many coastal ports, which is conducive to transnational business and trade.
If we can develop there, there are many benefits. With Thomas Company’s original industrial foundation, we have to give it a try, and the election of state legislators is about to begin..."
The political world in the United States is very strange. There is no need to judge seniority. First of all, it needs a candidate who is eloquent and contagious. Secondly, it needs the publicity support of capital to let more people know about that person, which is the so-called "political donation"
.
Once these two conditions are met, you can enter the market.
After being elected, those who accept "donations" will repay their supporters. This is a legal act in the United States and is not considered illegal.
Such a road and such a good place are worth exploring.
"If we can get the people we support to become state legislators, that will be enough for us to stand firm," Hiroki Sawada thought, "but that won't be easy, right? I didn't know about this in Massachusetts before, but
For such a good place, there should be a lot of people fighting for it. We are new here, can we do it?"
"When the inner network is established, it will be much easier with Ark here," Chi Feichi said in a low voice, "This is not a gamble that determines winning or losing. Be prepared to fight for it one term at a time. If you lose,
A game is like exploring the road and spending money to buy experience. Moreover, even if the person we support is not elected, it may not be considered a loss. Everyone throws money into it. At the beginning, it will be a bloody battle, but once the time comes,
When the expected income is not as good as the investment, someone will choose to stop and negotiate. The difference is only which party will make more profits in the future."
There is a saying that there are no permanent enemies in the business world.
There is also a saying that eating cake alone will only lead to death.
Umbrella plans to develop in the past, and she really needs to consider the issue of allies.
It is not a wise move to go straight to the enemy and leave the old local forces to play by themselves, as they can easily be killed.
Hiroki Sawada thought for a while, "Should I ask Grandpa about their plans? If there is no unification, we can discuss it. I also think we can try Massachusetts. When I was studying at MIT,
I have heard about some powerful people, their personalities and tempers, and I have even come into contact with some of them. If there is development there, I can find a way to bring those people into Umbrella."
“You ask.”
Chi Feichi handed the phone to Sawada Hiroki, picked up the cup, and took a sip of wine.
Hiroki Sawada calculated the time difference and decided to bother Shinnosuke Ike and make a call.
“Grandpa, I’m Noah. I’m with my godfather. Just now we talked about the location of the new headquarters... Godfather said Massachusetts... okay.”
The call ended very quickly. Just as Chi Feichi reached out to take it and said a few words, the call ended.
Hiroki Sawada handed the phone to Chi Feichi in confusion, "Grandpa said it'll be fine. What do you mean?"
“They are also considering it, so there is no need to discuss it further.”
Chi Feichi explained, took the phone and called back.
The phone rang twice and was connected.
“Noah, what else is going on?”
“It’s me, it doesn’t matter if I lose my fortune, right? I want a dumpling, the giant panda from Ueno Zoo.”
“We’ll have to wait for a while. It’s not the right time to talk to China yet, and I’m too busy.”
"OK."
“Dudu…”
Chi Fei Chi installed his mobile phone.
It will be fine if you agree. This matter cannot be rushed. At least you will not be able to negotiate until Umbrella is established, and you will have to pay a large amount of rent.
This rent is absolutely sky-high. When rented to other countries, the rent is actually the maintenance of the country and international relations. If it is rented by an individual, it will definitely be more than just money.
If money can be rented, there are so many big financial groups in the world, and there are many people who like giant pandas, why not have one per family?
He just wants to risk his life and ruin the whole family. Whether to lose technology or improve the economy, his cheap dad will consider it.
Giant pandas are so expensive.
…
At four o'clock in the morning, the yacht docked.
Chi Feichi first sent the dumplings back to the zoo, and then sent a group of unknown cats to an empty house in Cupido Town.
That was the base he arranged for the Wuming group of cats.
He has been very clear from the beginning that he is not suitable for raising cats or dogs that need companionship, at least not for the past two years, and he cannot be stable.
Feichi is an exception because Feichi can be perfectly hidden under his clothes.
So he had never considered raising a cat. When he first met Wu Ming, he had no idea of adoption.
Currently, Wuming has been taken over, and if Wuming has to be locked up in a high-rise building for several days as soon as he leaves home, it would be easy to lock Wuming into a snake syndrome. It is better to let Wuming go out and torment him. Anyway, Wuming's injury is recovering very well.
OK, you can go out now.
After Koizumi Anko woke up, she started arranging the evacuation of the people from Shibuya City, and asked those people to send back Dabai's pile of snakes and Jubei's mother and son.
When Chi Fei Chi returned to the yacht, Feimo also left with the flock of birds. Only Sawada Hiroki, Koizumi Hongzi and the old housekeeper were left on the yacht.
Koizumi Anko and her old housekeeper went home, preparing to fight Kuroba Kai in the afternoon, while Nakamori Aoko and her classmates went to the ski resort.
Chi Fei left with the baby in his arms and drove to the Maori Detective Agency.
At seven o'clock in the morning, after Conan saw off Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro, he waited for Chi Feichi at the Mao Li Detective Agency.
The detective held his chin with one hand and turned the TV over and over again. He wanted to go out but was worried that Chi Fei would miss the chance, so he could only wait in boredom.
After waiting for more than an hour, the doorbell finally rang.
"Here it comes~!" Conan jumped off the sofa, put on his slippers and ran to open the door. He was about to complain, but when he saw the little child in Chi Feichi's arms, he immediately lost his temper, "Xiaoshu?"
Hiroki Sawada was hugged by Chi Feichi. He grabbed the clothes in front of Chi Feichi with one hand. He was silent for a moment and politely greeted him reluctantly, "Conan...brother."
What's going on with that reluctant look on your face?
Conan was speechless and embarrassed to complain to a child over one year old, "Brother Chi, you arrived so late. Did you go to pick up Xiaoshu? How long will he stay here this time?"
"About a week," Chi Feichi said without entering the door, "go to Poluo to have something to eat, and I will take you to the children's playground."
Conan: “……”
Hello, hey...
If he went to the children's playground later, Chi Feichi would definitely be waiting outside. He would have to take a small child to play with a bunch of other children.
It was agreed that Chi Fei Chi would come and take care of him. Is Chi Fei Chi planning to bring the child over and let him take care of it?
“I think it would be good to go to the doctorate and play games for a while.”
The detective looked up at Chi Feichi and smiled reluctantly.
Hiroki Sawada guessed that Chi Feichi had a bad taste and wanted to watch them smile in the children's playground, so he said seriously, "I also want to play games."
Chi Feichi nodded without any reluctance.
Conan felt relieved, changed his shoes, and followed Chi Feichi downstairs.
“Dingle bell!”
Downstairs, as soon as the bell at the door of Poirot Cafe rang, Azusa Enomoto, who was cleaning the shop, looked up with a smile and said, "Welcome! Huh? Conan? Mr. Chi?"
“Sister Xiao Zi,” Conan greeted with a smile, “Brother Chi, bring us here to have something to eat.”
Azusa Enomoto stepped forward, bent down and asked Conan, "Aren't Mr. Mori and Miss Xiaoran here today?"
Conan nodded obediently, "Yeah! Uncle went to the client's place, and sister Xiaolan went to school to participate in karate training."
"Then you can sit down wherever you like!" Azusa Enomoto turned around and went behind the counter, "Mr. Chi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Although you sometimes come to the detective agency, I was busy in the store and never had the chance to go out and say hello to you.
"
“Long time no see,” Chi Fei arrived late and took a seat by the window, placing Hiroki Sawada next to him and sitting next to him, “Miss Enomoto is more beautiful than before.”
Conan raised his head in surprise and looked at Chi Feichi.
Did Chi Feichi say this? Shocked!
Hiroki Sawada was also surprised when he looked at Chi Feichi. He wore black contact lenses to cover his purple pupils, his eyes were bright black, and he was as dazed as a little kid of one and a half years old.
