Many times, this idea is wishful thinking.

Not to mention that Kenichi Aoki grew up in Japan and is a genuine Japanese citizen. I'm afraid that on the spiritual level, he has long regarded himself as a commoner rather than a Chinese.

Moreover, he himself is a senior business representative of the company. All his interests are entangled with the company. How could he harm the interests of the company and favor the Chinese?

However, the people in this period are still worth getting in touch with.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Japan and my country enjoyed relatively close ties, receiving substantial amounts of both technology and capital, making them close partners. Of course, Japan also benefited greatly from the rapid economic growth that followed my country's reform and opening-up policy.

It's a win-win cooperation.

Therefore, the attitude of this delegation is very good.

They could have negotiated in a hotel in the city, but they took the initiative to ask to visit the plastic factory in person. They would rather endure the pungent smell of the plastic factory, and their willingness to cooperate was still quite strong.

Because of this foundation, the negotiations went relatively smoothly.

However, when it comes to some interests, Xiao Benzi will definitely not give in easily, and there is still room for negotiation.

Liu Hongyi's translation was very accurate and precise. Aoki Kenichi looked at him from time to time with a surprised expression.

Liu Hongyi was young, and it was obvious at first glance that he was still a student. I had thought he was just an assistant translator, but he turned out to be the main force, and the only Japanese translator at the plastics factory.

This made Kenichi Aoki look at him with admiration.

During the break in the negotiations, Kenichi Aoki took the initiative to come over and chat with Liu Hongyi.

"Liu Sang..."

"Hello, Mr. Zuo!"

Liu Hongyi interrupted him with a smile.

"Now it's time for a break. I suggest we communicate in our native language."

Aoki Kenichi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Mr. Liu, I am a pure Japanese. My mother tongue is Japanese. Chinese is just a foreign language to me, a tool for communication with your country."

"is it?"

"Then why did I hear that Mr. Zuo commissioned comrades from Nanfang City to search for your ancestral home?"

Liu Hongyi retorted bluntly.

"Mr. Zuo, you should know the meaning of the idiom 'falling leaves return to their roots,' right?"

Aoki Kenichi didn't shy away from the question and said calmly, "Liu-san, I'm simply trying to fulfill my father's last wish. I don't deny that my father and mother had a deep attachment to their homeland. But I was only a few years old when I left. Please forgive me, I have no memories of this homeland, let alone any feelings for it."

Liu Hongyi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zuo, thank you for your honesty. Even so, we are still friends. I hope that we can reach a cooperation agreement as soon as possible."

Kenichi Aoki also laughed.

"I don't object to this."

"Our major goals are the same."

Next, the two had a pleasant exchange.

Liu Hongyi insisted on using Mandarin throughout the whole process and did not speak a word of Japanese.

This is not at the negotiating table, he is a Japanese translator.

This was a private conversation, seemingly between the two of them, but there were other people around. If Liu Hongyi had spoken to Aoki Kenichi in Japanese the entire time, no one would have been able to prove what he had said to Aoki Kenichi.

This is something we must pay attention to when it comes to foreign exchanges.

This intermission lasts only about twenty minutes.

Everyone went to the restroom, drank some water, and then returned to the meeting room to continue negotiations.

On the surface, Aoki Kenichi remained unchanged, faithfully fulfilling his duties as a "translator." However, Liu Hongyi could tell that Aoki Kenichi was beginning to show some "bias" when translating, and even said some "good things" to help our side in some extremely subtle places.

Never underestimate this kind of "nice words", as they can play a significant role in subtle influence.
