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 located in the UK," Hiroki Sawada asked in a low voice, "Does that mean it will be located in Japan?"
"No," Chi Feichi said, "It should be in the United States, Massachusetts."
Hiroki Sawada frowned in confusion, "But we have no foundation in the United States... Even if Thomas Company had connections, 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. "Wherever the headquarters is located, it will be helpful to the economy and employment of the people there. No matter where the headquarters is, Which side, the other side will definitely have opinions. If you choose Japan, then the Queen will be unhappy. If you choose Britain, my father’s contacts in the Japanese police and political circles will be dissatisfied. This is dissatisfaction based on comparison, and those who are not chosen One party will feel that the other country is more important in the eyes of my parents, and choose a third party so that they do not have to compare each other. There is also an excuse to 'open up new markets'. As long as they invest more in comprehensive commerce, they can connect the US market with this country. Connecting the 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."
Sawada Hiroki 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 consortiums have developed to a certain extent. In order to 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 in the rejection and discussion. But the United States is different. Politicians must have the support of donors and tolerance of capital. The degree is higher, and even if they can't tolerate it, without the constraints of past friendships, they won't feel too sad if they fall out."
"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, but 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 set in the United States, then Thomas Company is originally located in Ma Massachusetts is the best choice, and it has the world's top universities and a good academic atmosphere with outstanding talents from all walks of life. It is conducive to attracting researchers and talents from all aspects. There are many coastal ports, which is conducive to cross-border commerce. If There are many benefits to developing there. With the original industrial foundation of Thomas Company, 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 can speak well and be 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 you meet these two conditions, you can enter.
After being elected, those who accept the 'donation' will repay the supporters. This is a legal act in the United States and does not count as corruption.
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 it reaches the expected When the income is not as high as the investment, someone will choose to stop and negotiate. The only difference is which party will make more profits in the future.”
There is a saying that there are no eternal 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 it really needs to consider the issue of allies.
It's not a wise move to just kill them and leave the local old 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."
"Ask."
Chi Feichi handed the phone to Zetian Hiroki, picked up the cup, and took a sip of wine.
Sawada Hiroki calculated the time difference and decided to disturb Ike Shinnosuke 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... OK."
The call ended quickly. As soon as Chi Feichi reached out to take it and said a few words, the call ended.
Zetian Hiroki handed the phone to Chi Feichi in confusion, "Grandpa said it'll be fine. What do you mean?"
"They are also considering it and 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?"
"It's me, it doesn't matter if I lose my fortune, right? I want a dumpling, the giant panda from Ueno Zoo."
"If you wait a little longer, it's not the right time to talk to China, and I'm too busy."
"OK."
"Dudu..."
Chi Fei Chi installed his mobile phone.
If you agree, it will be fine. There is no rush to do this. You will not be able to negotiate until Umbrella is established at least, and you will have to pay a large amount of rent.
The rent is absolutely sky-high. If rented to other countries, the rent is actually the maintenance of the country's 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, so why not have one per family?
He just wants to go all out and ruin the 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 Wuming's group of cats.
He knew very well from the beginning that he was not suitable for raising animals that needed companionship, such as cats and dogs, at least not for the past two years, and he would not be able to stabilize.
Fei Chi is an exception because Fei Chi can be perfectly hidden under his clothes.
So he had never considered raising a cat. When he first met Wuming, he had no idea of adoption.
Currently, Wuming has been taken over, and if Wuming has to be imprisoned in a high-rise building for several days as soon as he leaves home, it would be easy to lock Wuming into snake syndrome. It is better to let Wuming go out and torment him. Anyway, Wuming's injury is recovering very well. Okay, you can go out now.
After Koizumi Anko woke up, she started arranging the evacuation of the people from Shibaiya City, and asked those people to send back Dabai's pile of snakes and Jubei's mother and son.
When Chi Feichi 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 and planned to go to the ski resort with Kuroba Kaito Nakamori Aoko's classmates in the afternoon.
Chi Feichi left with her baby in her 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 Feichi 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?"
Zetian Hiroki was held by Chi Feichi, and 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 this reluctant look?
Conan was at a loss for words and was too 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, "Go to Poirot to have something to eat, and I will take you to the children's playground."
Conan: "..."
Hey 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 take care of him. Was Chi Fei Chi planning to bring the child over for him to take care of?
"I think it would be good to go to the doctor 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 force.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, changed his shoes, and followed Chi Feichi downstairs.
"jingle!"
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 Zi," Conan greeted with a smile, "Brother Chi, bring us some food."
Azusa Enomoto stepped forward, bent down and asked Conan, "Aren't Mr. Mori and Miss Xiaolan here today?"
Conan nodded obediently, "Yes! 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 came to the window seat late and sat Hiroki Sawada 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? Shock!
Hiroki Sawada also looked at Chi Feichi in surprise. He wore black contact lenses to cover his purple pupils, his eyes were bright black, and he was as dazed as a one-and-a-half-year-old kid.
