In Japan, the Agricultural Association is a very special existence. After organizing a language, Kita Kita Miyashita said that it has existed for a long time, so long that many people have become accustomed to its existence. They are subjectively convinced that without its existence, the entire Japanese agriculture will collapse. Of course, visionary people know that this is a false proposition. The Agricultural Association may have made great achievements in the recovery of agriculture after the war in Japan, but now, it has become a tool for some people to usurp interests, a poisonous sore with a stench all over.

There are four people in the box, Miyashita Kita himself, an official from the US Department of Agriculture, the largest agricultural product trader in the United States, and a political lobbyist in Washington. The issue discussed is about the opening of the Japanese agricultural product market. Miyashita Kita thought about it with his legs and hair, and he knew the position of the three guys on the other side.

They ran from the United States for a long distance and invited themselves to Seoul. What is the purpose?

Of course, I hope that I can make some efforts to promote the opening of the Japanese agricultural product market. Before intervening in the formal topic, what they need to do is of course to determine their position.

Only when they determine their position, or if they are sure that they can be bought, will they introduce the topic. Otherwise, they will clarify their intentions as soon as they come out. If they refuse clearly and turn around and expose the matter, what else can they do next?

The worst thing is that once they expose this matter and get it to newspapers or other media, they will inevitably become more passive. The Japanese parliamentarians who dared to speak righteously for them will probably have to stand opposite them.

Miyashita Kita understood their concerns very well, so he expressed his position at the beginning.

Although I am not a politician, I have always had my own position. Miyashita Kita continued, so when I was running the Hongyi Association, I clearly refused to join the two groups, one was the postal service, and the other was the Agricultural Association's position of our Hongyi Association, in order to make Japan more open, more progressive, and have a better future. Being self-satisfied or closing the country is not our pursuit.

This is shameless enough. Of course, none of the few here are shameless.

The thickness of your face is always proportional to the thickness of your wallet. As a wise person, should you hope that your wallet will be thicker or that your face will be thinner?

Kitaki Miyashita talked so much, criticizing all the problems and harms of the agricultural association. The three guys next to him echoed from time to time, expressing their understanding and approval of everything he said.

Although there are many problems with the Agricultural Association, I think this issue may be difficult to change in the short term. Miyashita Kita turns the topic to the political level of Japan. Similarly, it is difficult for me to give an optimistic estimate for the next round of Japan-US economic and trade consultations.

His eyes turned around the faces of the three people opposite and continued: I think you should have learned that Hosokawa Oshihiko's cabinet will announce its resignation in the near future. If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Haneda will serve as the new Prime Minister. Haha, Mr. Haneda once served in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for a long time, and some of his political propositions are in line with Hosokawa Oshiki. Therefore, during his term, the reform of the Agricultural Association will not be able to make any progress. Of course, the Prime Minister is an extraordinary position after all. Perhaps after taking over as Prime Minister, Mr. Haneda's position will change to a certain extent. Maybe in July, isn't the Summit of the Seven Kingdoms going to be held again? What is his position? It will be clear at that time.

We know Mr. Haneda's position. Dunn smiled and said, "Previously, someone has asked Mr. Haneda about the huge trade deficit in Japan-US trade. He expressed his indignation for Washington's resumption of the "Super Article 301" and the list of key unfair trade countries. He also expressed his indignation for Washington to make changes by prosecuting the General Trade Agreement during his term.

On the issue of trade frictions between Japan and the United States, Miyashita Kita has a deeper understanding of it

In fact, we can't blame the Americans for jumping so quickly, mainly because the trade deficit between the two sides is too large.

Last year, the U.S. trade deficit with Japan reached nearly $60 billion, accounting for half of the total U.S. trade deficit. This is the data achieved in the recession of Japan's economy.

Just imagine, in the face of such a trade situation, how could the United States, which has always regarded itself as its owner, be willing to be willing?

We have reason to believe that even if Mr. Haneda can be successfully elected as the new prime minister of Japan, his term will not be long. Kevin picked up the wine glass in front of him, signaled to the three of them, then took a sip, and said, Now, what we need to do is to prepare for a longer future.

We? Miyashita Kita sneered in his heart, who is the fucking fucking you?

As a global company focusing on agricultural-related commodities, we have been committed to promoting the opening of the Japanese agricultural product market. Stephen has taken the topic over the past few years, but the results have not been obvious. From this year on, we are preparing to lobby for Japanese politicians so that we can make some breakthroughs. For this reason, we have specially hired Mr. Dunn as our policy consultant.

Mr. Akamoto, I know some of the situation in Japan, Dunn, and I also know that you have a certain influence within the Liberal Democratic Party. Therefore, I recommend you to Mr. Stephen, hoping that you can join our work and use your influence to provide some help for this lobbying work.

Miyashita Kitani understood the other party's meaning. He guessed that these guys' lobbying against Japanese politics had already begun for a while. Maybe they had even had Shizuka Kamei, but the results they had achieved should not be very good.

Japan is a very special country. Although politicians are having fun and various corruption incidents are emerging one after another, any politician is very cautious when it comes to foreign-related issues. After all, anti-American sentiment in Japan has always been very high, especially in the past two years.

Why is it so difficult for the agricultural association to do it?

This is not only because their power is deeply rooted, but also because they have a killer weapon. As long as any politician proposes to reform the Agricultural Association, the Agricultural Association will immediately label the other party for selling the country and seeking prosperity, and then the domestic call is full of scolding.

Shizuka Kamei is currently very strong in the Liberal Democratic Party, which is undoubtedly true, but he dare not make a statement on this issue easily, because if a politician or allies who are close to him will jump out and betray him, and his opponent will even take the opportunity to push him into the mud.

Political lobbying is strategic. Americans have played this game for centuries and have long had their own routines and rules. These lobbyists have no moral integrity, but they can also be said to be the most moral integrity group.

What they need is to achieve win-win results with those lobbying goals, that is, let the other party get benefits and they also get benefits, instead of just ignoring the other party's life or death after using the other party

Because once they do this, it will become very difficult to lobby others later.

Take the lobbying Shizuka Kame as an example. These people will formulate a strategy. They need Shizuka Kame to stand on their position and speak for them, but they cannot let Shizuka Kame fall into a political passive after speaking for them. Instead, they will not be affected in their political future after speaking.

Therefore, political lobbying is a game with high technical difficulty and complexity. Dunn and others need to lobby cannot be one person or a few people. Instead, they define a range, and then study each potential lobbyist within this range, determine the difficulty or feasibility of each person's lobbying according to the other party's past position, and then divide the level of them according to this difficulty, and do the work one by one from easy to difficult to do.

Such a lobbying process may be implemented for one year or even several years. They will not take action until the goal of successful lobbying reaches a certain number and can form aggregation force. What they pursue is one-shot success, not a scholar exam, and this year does not come back next year.

During the entire lobbying process, these lobbying companies need to pay a lot of money, especially those like Dunn, who have just begun to expand their lobbying business in Japan, because they need to accumulate their connections in Japan little by little

Of course, no matter how much money you pay, Dunn won't care, because the money was not paid by him, but was paid for by giant consortiums like Cargill. As for corporate groups like Cargill, they will not lose money, because once they pry open the Japanese agricultural product market, the profits they harvest in a year will be several times or even dozens of times the lobbying efforts

Kitaki Miyashita knows what help the other party wants from him. Yes, in today's Japanese politics, if Dunn wants to expand his connections, the best way is to find him.

Because even if he convinced a person like Shizuka Kamei, the other party would not be able to introduce other congressmen to him. That would be like telling those congressmen clearly that he was doing a deal with the Americans.

But there is no such taboo in Miyashita Kita. He is not a politician himself, has no political stance, and does not have to care about any political life.

He could easily recommend politicians who had received his black money secretly for Dunn. As for whether these congressmen could be convinced, it was Dunn's own business. This is an advantage he has
