"Senior Yasuda!"

"Senior Yasuda!"

...

In the corridor of the office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yasuda Shinsuke heard someone calling his name behind him, so he hurriedly stopped his steps.

"Uh... Kono-kun, long time no see, may I ask... what's the matter?"

"Hey, I'm so sorry, Yasuda-senpai, actually... I have something to ask you, may I ask... Do you have time now?"

"Eh...please? Let's go over there and talk!"

Hearing that Shohei Kono seemed to need his help with something, Yasuda Shinsuke hurriedly dragged him to the reception room on the side, and then closed the door. Until this time, Yasuda Shinsuke asked Kono Shohei curiously:

"What exactly is it, it won't be any trouble!"

"Of course it's not senior, I just want to ask you, the economic and trade delegation to Ethiopia this time... Are there any vacancies?"

"Eh...why do you ask this all of a sudden? To be honest, I'm still having a headache over this matter now?"

"Is there no more? It's such a pity, I'm really sorry, I've caused you trouble again, senior!"

While talking, Kono Shohei stood up and planned to say goodbye to Yasuda Shinsuke. At this moment, Yasuda Shinsuke suddenly waved his hand and said to Kono Shohei:

"It's not that there is no... It's that no one wants to go there at all. There is less than half a month left until this economic and trade exchange, but less than 20 companies have signed up for the economic and trade delegation. To be honest, everyone actually I'm not optimistic about Ethiopia, the local economy is really underdeveloped, so it's no wonder that everyone is not very interested in this economic and trade inspection!"

"Eh...that means...you still have a vacancy, don't you?"

"Well... what's the matter, don't you have any friends who want to invest there! I advise you to give up, it is one of the least developed countries in the world recognized by the United Nations, in addition to some natural resources and some value , there is nothing else worth investing in, you know what I mean?"

"I know this, but my friend really needs this opportunity to participate in the economic and trade delegation. By the way, I heard that the Ethiopian Prime Minister will also meet the members of the delegation this time, right?"

"This is for sure, after all, we went with a large amount of aid funds! But... Ethiopia is a multi-ethnic country, and the presence of the government in some regions is actually very weak, so even if there is a chance to get the prime minister It's not 100% useful to meet you!"

Hearing Yasuda Shinsuke's bitter exhortation, Kono Shohei couldn't help but feel a little worried about Sakurako's plan. However... In order to help Sakurako realize her dream as soon as possible, Kono Shohei still tried his best to fight for Sakurako:

"Senior, to be honest, I have a good friend who is in the coffee business. This time, she wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to organize an economic and trade delegation to visit Ethiopia, and go there together to see if she can buy a coffee shop located in Benqi. That forest in the Bench-Maji area…”

"Bench-Maji? Is that the area close to South Sudan? If I remember correctly, it's mainly populated by the indigenous people of Meanit, it's quite a closed area, you sure... Is your friend really going to invest there?"

"Hey, I hope you can help her!"

"How can you go to such a remote place? It's really worrying, regardless... If someone is willing to invest in such a wild area where birds don't shit, I think... The Ethiopian government should be very happy!"

"Eh? From what senior said, this seems to be easy! But...isn't it close to South Sudan? Could it be...is there any safety risk?"

Hearing Kono Shohei's worry, Yasuda Shinsuke shook his head with a smile, and then explained for his well-connected junior:

"Although Bench-Maji borders South Sudan, there are still large undeveloped virgin forests, and the local aborigines are those who speak languages ​​that others do not understand? The Meanit aboriginal people, with There is absolutely nothing to do with South Sudan."

"But... isn't South Sudan rich in oil? Isn't... Bench-Maji a very important strategic area?"

"Strategic area? Haha, don't be ridiculous, Ethiopia is a landlocked country, and it is an extremely underdeveloped country! No matter how you look at it, South Sudan's oil will never be shipped to Ethiopia to sea!"

After listening to Yasuda Shinsuke's introduction, Kono Shohei gradually gained some confidence, so he asked Yasuda Shinsuke about the aid loan related to this economic and trade delegation.

"Senior, may I ask...this aid loan...if possible, can I take care of my friend?"

"This... It's natural to take care of it, but these interest-free loans are investments made to help Japanese companies open up the local market. What kind of business is your friend planning to do there?"

"Her plan is actually to run a coffee plantation business in Bench-Maji, so she needs some capital to invest in local land."

Kono Shohei briefly talked about Sakurako's plan, he saw Yasuda Shinsuke hesitated a little, then nodded and said:

"In this case, it's easy. Don't worry, I still have some friendship with Ambassador Saito over there. This matter shouldn't be too difficult..."

"Can I take the liberty of asking, may I ask... can I apply for a $1 million loan?"

"1000000?"

"Why~lightnovelpub.net~ can't it, senior?"

"No, no, this is too little!"

"Eh?"

"Anyway, I want to introduce it to the business people who are the head of the Ethiopian government! It's a million dollars, you really can't think of it..."

"Then what do you mean, senior..."

"10 million! That should be enough!"

"10 million? Are they all interest-free loans?"

"Of course! By the way, give me your friend's information as soon as possible. If possible, I will also ask my concierge colleagues to give her some necessary foreign affairs training. This is a foreign affairs activity, do you understand?"

"Understood, senior, thank you so much!"

Kono Shohei stood up happily and bowed to Yasuda Shinsuke. When the two came out of the conference room, Kono Shohei said goodbye to Yasuda-senpai, and couldn't wait to tell Sakurako the good news.
