Chapter 290 The Hokkaido Problem

On January 2000, 1, the Southern African Development Community announced that the long-awaited SADC Free Trade Area plan was officially launched in April 12. Currently, 2000 of the 4 SADC member states have signed and approved the plan. The first annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in the new millennium with the theme of "New Beginnings, New Ideas" opened in Davos, Switzerland.Participants will discuss new problems faced by mankind and new ideas for solutions. The main topics include economic globalization, biotechnology revolution, electronic trade and environmental protection.

At the same time, the northern countries headed by the Nord Kingdom, Egypt, and Morocco also began to deepen the peace and stability of northern Africa through economic, military, trade, and technological cooperation. As the governor of Western Sahara, Marceau is the governor of this Key speakers and decision-makers at a meeting.

At the meeting, the northern countries near the Nord Kingdom protested against some of the actions of the Nord Kingdom. Marceau did not give a clear response, but only answered that he would try his best to solve these problems raised. However, at the same time, officials from nearby countries who were close to the Nord Kingdom began to actively participate into the affairs of state.

One month later, on February 2000, 2, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development opened in Bangkok. The theme of this conference is: "Globalization and Development Strategy in the New Century."

This is the first time that Charlie has participated in this meeting as the head of the Nord Kingdom. Although he is still the crown prince of the Nord Kingdom, he has actually begun to use his status as a king to participate in various international head of state meetings.

Also in February, the report of the Nord Kingdom on vigorously supporting the IT industry was announced by the cabinet government. The cabinet government expects to provide overall support for the IT industry of up to 2 billion euros in the five years from 2000 to 2005. Software, websites, forums... the Internet began to diversify, and competitors under the Microsoft Group began to appear, such as music and video, which even meant that they were close to Microsoft's music and video branches.

On February 2000, 2, the person in charge of the Microsoft Music Branch held a press conference. At the press conference, Microsoft Music announced that it would hold the first Microsoft Music Festival. More than 18 people from Europe, Asia, America, and the Middle East will be invited. , singers from Africa participated.

Microsoft Music has its own artist company. Among the top [-] singers searched by Microsoft every year, there are now nearly [-] singers belonging to Microsoft Music. The Internet star-making platform is becoming more and more popular. Compared with traditional star-making platforms, the Internet is undoubtedly Faster, easier and faster.

Nord Studios has been completed. In 2000, more than [-] films with an investment of tens of millions of euros will be filmed here, and Microsoft Video will also have a part of the shares.

2000年2月20日，诺德皇家影城旗下艺人公司召开新闻发布会，将会分别以5亿6千万欧元、8亿3千万欧元的价格收购微软音乐、微软视频旗下的艺人公司。

It seems that the price is high, but compared with the profits created by these artists for Microsoft, no one will sell such golden chickens, but if there is a royal family involved in it, it will be completely different.

Kate personally invited the heads of Microsoft Video and Microsoft Music to the palace for lunch for this matter. After the meal, even if the heads of the two Microsoft branches resented Nord Royal Film and Television, they still had to use this "cheap" price Sell ​​the golden hen that lays eggs in your own hands.

Things on the Internet are undoubtedly the fastest to pass. For a whole month, there are reports about the Nord Kingdom everywhere in the world, Microsoft, Apple, film and television companies...

In March 2000, the Nord Kingdom's first Warcraft Trophy kicked off. This was the first public event of e-sports. Nord TV specially opened a game satellite channel for players who love Warcraft games around the world to watch.

The fee for the game channel is not very high. Like the No. [-] Budokai channel in the world, various additional industries such as newspapers and commemorative T-shirts are given away for free to players who subscribe to the game channel.

2000 is also called the year of Warcraft by players. The prize money of the first Warcraft trophy is as high as 1000 million euros. position.

No one knew that the Warcraft production team, the real host of this trophy, only invested 100 million euros, and the remaining 900 million euros were provided by Joseph 400 million and Flender 500 million.

Flender really wanted to thank his father the king for this matter, but at this time Joseph was already busy with the affairs of Japan. Although Charlie was in power, there were still some things left by Joseph that needed to be handled by him personally, such as dealing with Japan. Emperor's deal.

On April 2000, 4, the former Prime Minister of Japan resigned due to illness, and the new Prime Minister was appointed by Kentaro Matsumoto.

Kentaro Matsumoto, Joseph's Japanese friend, finally ascended to the post of Prime Minister after years of hard work. At the same time, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces silently carried out a large number of officer replacements. Some Japanese officers who returned from the Nord Kingdom began to control Japan's only army.

It is naturally impossible for the United States not to be aware of such a thing, but because of China's reasons, now that the United States has something to ask of Japan, it can only interfere and resist through some political means.

A few days after Kentaro Matsumoto became prime minister, a lot of negative news about him appeared in the media. If it is said that the United States and forces close to the United States are not at work, then no one will believe it.

The Emperor of Japan counterattacked immediately. This was the first time he showed his power in Japan. Although he was weaker than the pro-American forces, he finally let Matsumoto Kentaro stay in his prime minister position.

After Kentaro Matsumoto resolved the negative news crisis, the first thing he did was the governor of Hokkaido. A small figure who had never appeared in Japanese politics was suddenly valued by Kentaro Matsumoto, and then he began to serve as the governor of Hokkaido.

Ando Jinwu, because of his sudden rise, many Japanese politicians have been looking for his origins, but no matter how they search, there is no information about his relationship with Matsumoto Kentaro.

The deputy director of the Tokyo Museum, I don’t know why he suddenly went to Hokkaido to participate in politics and became the person in charge of public security in a region, and then gradually became the mayor of Haminakacho and the deputy mayor of Kushiro City. When he was about to be promoted to mayor, he was suddenly promoted Governor of Hokkaido.

It is normal for Ando Jinwu to sign a series of trade cooperation orders with the Nord Kingdom in the attention of others. This did not arouse any suspicion. A few years ago, the Nord Kingdom began to increase investment in Hokkaido. The governor of Hokkaido, it is normal for him to do so.

But no one would have thought that as he served as the governor of Hokkaido, more and more citizens of the Nord Kingdom came to Hokkaido, including Japanese, Chinese and a small amount of European descent. Under such circumstances, the Nord Kingdom controlled A number of heavy industry companies in Hokkaido, the communications industry, and some Japanese descendants who returned from the Nord Kingdom were promoted to be the heads of military factories and leaders of state-owned enterprises...

Faced with such a thing, the Japanese royal family is very willing?No, they are very unwilling, but although the transaction is completed, they still need to rely on the power of the Nord Kingdom, and they cannot and cannot regret it at all.

On April 2000, 4, China Mobile Communications Company was established.

For this reason, Gao Jingxuan made a special trip to Huaxia and had a meeting with the State Council of Huaxia, because she controls 30.00% of the shares in Huaxia's telecommunications industry. This time, she needs to conduct special negotiations because of some of her own interests.

The negotiation process was peaceful and smooth. In the end, Gao Jingxuan injected 30.00 million euros plus a 11.00% stake in the previous telecommunications industry. She successfully obtained [-]% of the new company's two-point stake, which will be worth a lot in the future.

Going to China this time was Gao Jingxuan's first step, and then she began to travel frequently to China, because she valued the future market of China, and decided to increase some investment in China.It's a pity that it's no longer the 80s, and it was very difficult for Gao Jingxuan to acquire many state-owned shares, but the more she was like this, the more she admired Joseph's vision back then.

A three-entry courtyard house near Wangfujing is Gao Jingxuan's home in Yanjing. This courtyard house alone cost Gao Jingxuan 300 million euros, but she thinks it is worth it, and its value in the future will not only be that.

On May 2000, 5, Charlie, who returned from Bangkok, started his second big move, announcing the abolition of consumption tax in the Kingdom of Nord. The consumption motivation of the citizens of the kingdom will increase the domestic consumption level.

The previous consumption tax in the Kingdom of Nord was 5.00%, which was nearly half that of other countries, but even for such a luxury car worth 10, the final payment was 10 euros, and the extra 5000 euros was not enough. Less, who would like to waste it in vain and give it to the country?

Joseph didn't stay long in Hokkaido, because he discovered that Asaka Nami had actually become Ando Jinwu's secretary, which made Joseph a little headache, but at the same time, an idea also emerged from his heart.However, his ideas were not yet perfect, and the news from Tokyo completely disrupted Joseph's thinking. The new Japanese Prime Minister Kentaro Matsumoto was assassinated and killed.

To be honest, Joseph was really surprised when faced with such a thing. He did not expect the United States to be so daring, but Joseph did not expect that this matter had a lot to do with him.

Over the years, the Nord Kingdom's trade with Japan has begun to deepen, which has forced many American businessmen to leave Japan. This undoubtedly aroused the anger of some people in the United States who have considerable interests in Japan. American businessmen whose interests have been deeply offended by the trade orders with the Nord Kingdom can no longer help but start to do it. Yes, this has nothing to do with the US government, and even they are all responsible.
