Chapter 1,335 I’m Being Targeted
"...We are very interested in your company's 'future city' concept, especially the logistics drones. I have been paying attention to the drone logistics pilots you have set up in Xiangjiang City and Wanghai City. The drone hives are simply amazing. It’s a genius design!” Speaking of excitement, Sumitomo Kenichi did not hesitate to praise and said with a smile, “There are also drone medical treatments! At present, our Sumitomo Group is fully entering the two fields of logistics and medical care. Do you know if Mr. Jiang is interested?"
"If your company plans to introduce drone systems, of course we welcome it." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Great. If Mr. Jiang has no special arrangements after the banquet, please allow me to take up some of your time." With a happy expression on his face, Sumitomo Kenichi looked at Jiang Chen and said in a sincere tone, "I I hope to discuss this matter with you in detail.”
Jiang Chen was about to find a reason to refuse, but at this moment, he saw a hint of pleading in Sumitomo Kenichi's eyes when he looked at him.
He looked thoughtfully at the candlestick on the dining table. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen temporarily changed his mind and raised his glass to him with a smile.
"welcome."
emp weapons are in doubt, the NATO coalition failed in Colombia, and the international community's expectations for the collapse of the US-Japan-ROK alliance continue to rise. Everyone is paying attention to the next move of Xinghuan Trade and Jiang Chen, hoping to analyze the future direction of the international situation from some details.
In a sense, Jiang Chen was sending a certain signal to the outside world by sitting here at a state banquet specially held for him in accordance with the standards for receiving heads of state. As for the banquet itself, it is not that important.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Chen could clearly feel that many people were secretly observing him during the meal. There was a trace of confusion in those eyes, but more of it was so clear.
As we all know, Japan has been seeking to join the Earth Defense Alliance in order to avoid high defense taxes and enhance the market competitiveness of its domestic aerospace enterprises in the space race in the new century.
According to the system of the Earth Defense Alliance, the admission of new member states will be reviewed by voting by the four major member states, with a one-vote veto system. On the premise of giving up disputed territory and establishing a correct view of history, Japan has won the approval votes of China and Russia, as well as the abstention vote of Germany.
The only thing that was doubtful before was the vote in the hands of Xinguo. But now that Jiang Chen is sitting here, it seems that this vote will at least not be an objection. Therefore, the possibility of Japan "defecting North Korea and joining the alliance" is quite high. .
Jiang Chen was very curious about how the American media would react after tonight.
But one thing he was sure of was,
Whatever their response, at least it can't be optimistic...
When the banquet was almost in its second half, Jiang Chen secured several large deals for the Future Man Group, with a total value of more than S$100 billion, mainly focusing on drone systems, smart wearables, graphene materials, and These four areas are space mining.
Of course, here he just nodded his intention to cooperate. As for the specific details of the cooperation, and whether it can be finally concluded, it depends on how each company negotiates with the CEO of the branch of Futureman Group.
Xia Shiyu will be responsible for controlling this aspect, and Jiang Chen rarely directly interferes with the specific content of the cooperation.
"Speaking of which, I have a question. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to ask." Kishida Fumikong asked with a smile.
"It depends on what the problem is." Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"I don't mean to be presumptuous," Kishida Fumikong smiled, "It's just that I heard that the relationship between New Zealand and the United States has been tense recently, and the confrontation has gradually escalated from the military level to the economic level. I don't know the interests of the Future People Group in the United States. Not affected by this?"
"Of course there is an impact, but it is within a controllable range," Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile, "They can refuse to buy the future phone, but they can't refuse to buy the Phantom helmet, and they can't refuse to support the three of them. One-third of the medical system’s medical drones. No matter what unreasonable tariffs the Ministry of Commerce imposes on us, we actually don’t care very much. After all, it is only consumers in their own countries who ultimately pay the bill. Unless they can find substitutes, Otherwise they have no choice.”
"Hahaha, Mr. Jiang is so magnanimous, I'll toast you with another drink." Fumikong Kishida smiled tipsily and raised his glass.
With a faint smile, Jiang Chen raised the wine glass slightly, and when he drank it, he threw the liquid in the glass into the storage space...
In the melodious symphony, the banquet gradually came to an end.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen was not interested in staying any longer. After saying goodbye to Kishida and others, he stood up and left the table, heading towards the door.
After leaving the New Otani Hotel, Jiang Chen walked slowly towards the motorcade at the entrance of the hotel. Unsurprisingly, Sumitomo Kenichi, who had previously hinted with his eyes that he had something to say, also followed closely.
It’s just that I don’t know what kind of concerns Mr. Sumitomo had. After walking next to Jiang Chen, he didn’t directly state his intentions. He didn’t even talk about the drones he had talked about before. He just chatted. He talked about some irrelevant topics in his tone. After Jiang Chen got in the car, he consciously opened the door on the other side and sat next to him.
The car door closes.
It was only at this moment that Sumitomo Kenichi took off the mask on his face, his stiff smile slowly relaxed, and he leaned on his seat and took a deep breath.
After giving the eldest son of the Sumitomo Consortium a meaningful look, Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone.
"You don't have to worry about being overheard here. You can speak freely. But before you speak, I have to give you a vaccination. If you are going to talk to me about boring things, it's better not to say anything."
"I'm being targeted!" Sumitomo Kenichi said hurriedly.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"You got the wrong guy."
For what reason would the eldest son of a large consortium be targeted?
Apart from the power struggle within the consortium, Jiang Chen couldn't think of a better reason.
Xinghuan Trading and Sumitomo Group can only be said to be partners. Jiang Chen only knows Sumitomo Kenichi and has no interest in participating in their internal power struggle.
To put it bluntly, no matter who the next owner of the Sumitomo Group is, it will have no impact on Starlink Trading’s global power grid plan. The Sumitomo Foundation is not the only one in Japan. The submarine transmission cable has been built. If Chubu Electric Power Company is no longer suitable for cooperation, Starring Trading can still look for Eastern Electric Power and Western Electric Power to cooperate.
Having shut down so many nuclear and thermal power plants, it is no longer up to the Japanese to decide whether to use the electricity from the Star Ring trade.
"No! I didn't find the wrong person!" Sumitomo Kenichi stared at Jiang Chen and said in a pleading tone, "Please listen to what I have to say."
Jiang Chen motioned him to continue talking with his eyes.
"You might think this is an internal struggle within our family, and I'm asking you for help, right? Am I such an idiot? Can those idiots defeat me?" Grinning at himself, Sumitomo Kenichi took a deep breath. He took a breath, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, stared at Jiang Chen and said seriously, "The person who is targeting me is CIA..."

(Well, sorry, there is only one update today. No matter how much I changed the last chapter, I felt unsatisfied. I read it twice in the morning and finally decided to postpone it to rewriting. I will make up for this update tomorrow. I’m really sorry. .)
