Dominate South Asia

But now they are caught by the Karachi government!

The officials of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Karachi government were sitting in the reception room of the company. When Hiroaki Tanimura walked in, his face was full of smiles: "Everyone, welcome to our company. Director Krat, this is a little gift from us."

Hiroaki Tanimura held a bank card in his hand with one million US dollars in it. With so much money, it is enough to bribe a small environmental protection director in a developing country.

What are they doing here? Isn't it just to extort money? Such scenes are seen a lot in other countries.

Who knows, Krat saw this bank card, and his face changed immediately: "General Manager Hiroaki Tanimura, you are now suspected of illegally bribing law enforcement officers. When I go to court, I will definitely bring up this accusation."

Bribery! This crime is a very serious crime in Pakistan. If law enforcement officers accept bribes, they can be sentenced to up to ten years in prison in addition to being dismissed from public office. Pakistani officials responsible for anti-corruption are everywhere. Two years ago, the mayor of Peshawar was sentenced to eight years in prison for accepting bribes. The mayor was an old subordinate of President Muhammad. President Muhammad personally signed an order to deal with him severely!

Hiroaki Tanimura remembered this incident and immediately cursed himself for being stupid. If he wanted to bribe, he should have bribed the director alone in secret. In front of so many people, he stuffed a bank card into the director's pocket. The other party would definitely not accept it.

Thinking of this, he immediately shrank back and said, "Director, I'm sorry, this is just a shopping card from a Karachi supermarket, with only 50 rupees in it. This is just a little thought from us, it's really not a bribe."

After saying that, Hiroaki Tanimura bent down and bowed to the director: "I'm very sorry."

The Japanese are not good at anything else, but they are very good at apologizing. Unfortunately, this is just a habit, just like when the Japanese beat their wives at home, they will apologize very solemnly after the beating, but after the apology, they will continue to beat them.

But now, seeing Hiroaki Tanimura's sincere attitude, Karat did not continue to pursue it, and said: "During this period, we found that the water flow of the Heb River was seriously polluted. After careful investigation, we found that Toshiba was discharging sewage into the Heb River every night. We monitored it for a total of half a month. Toshiba started discharging after 11 o'clock every day and continued to discharge until four o'clock in the morning of the next day."

Hiroaki Tanimura was shocked. He thought the other party was just a surprise inspection, who would have thought that the other party had been secretly squatting for half a month! This is bad!

"We have submitted it to the court, and the evidence is conclusive. Your company has caused large-scale pollution of the Heb River and even caused pollution in the sea around Karachi. Now, I am here to propose a handling opinion to your company. Your company will be fined 50 billion rupees and must make rectifications within a time limit. Only after we pass the inspection can production be resumed. I hope your company can learn from the lesson. As a businessman, you must be honest!"

50 billion rupees! Converted into US dollars, there are also 500 million US dollars! It can be said that Toshiba's total assets in Karachi are less than 1 billion US dollars! Such a fine is simply the rhythm of killing the entire Toshiba company.

Hiroaki Tanimura was a little stupid. Watching these people read out the punishment opinions and then leave, Hiroaki Tanimura still didn't react. He was stunned there.

"General Manager?" The secretary next to him couldn't help but remind him: "The guests are gone, you should see them off."

"Send?" Hiroaki Tanimura smiled bitterly. It's almost the same as if they sent us off!

Sitting on the chair, Hiroaki Tanimura no longer had any thoughts about his big-breasted secretary, and his thoughts began to gradually become clear. Now, the United States and other Western countries have begun to impose a series of sanctions on Pakistan, and the island countries are following closely behind the United States and imposing the same sanctions on Pakistan. In fact, the island countries just want to threaten Pakistan and raise prices.

But now, Pakistan's counterattack has begun! Pakistan did not directly confront the United States. Their economic strength is not enough. Once the United States is really angered, Pakistan may be subject to comprehensive economic retaliation from the United States.

Therefore, the island countries have become a channel for Pakistan to vent its anger! It just so happens that the island countries are now experiencing an economic crisis, and major companies have closed down one after another. They simply cannot fight this economic war with the Pakistani government!

What to do? After being depressed for half an hour, Hiroaki Tanimura began to call the headquarters. This matter must not be covered up. However, if it is reported back to China, Hiroaki Tanimura knows that his career at Toshiba is over. The company is now insolvent. If it encounters this high fine again, it is afraid that it will not pay it, but withdraw from Pakistan.

And these fixed assets of the company will also be confiscated by the Pakistani government and used as fines. Damn, why doesn't Pakistan have a company in the island country? Then we can use the same method to deal with Pakistani companies!

Moreover, the island country is already a manufacturing powerhouse, exporting industrial products to the whole world. Although Pakistan has also begun to vigorously develop its manufacturing industry, Pakistan's industrial products are impossible to export to the island country. Just kidding, Pakistan's industrial products are not as good as those produced in the island country, and the cost is high. How can they enter the island country market? Pakistan's industrial products are mainly sold to South Asia, the Middle East, and even African countries. In this way, even if the island country imposes punitive tariffs on imported products, it is impossible.

Picking up the phone, Hiroaki Tanimura never dared to dial out. He could almost imagine that once the head office knew that there was a sky-high fine for discharging sewage, it would definitely vent all its anger on Hiroaki Tanimura. At that time, they would check the accounts and find that Hiroaki Tanimura's deficits would be even more troublesome.

After hesitating for a long time, Hiroaki Tanimura still did not dial out. His hand was on the phone, picked it up, and put it down again. Suddenly, in a flash of lightning, Hiroaki Tanimura thought of someone.

The person who once saved his life, when he was facing a desperate situation, was saved by that person. After that, his luck began to improve, and he came to Pakistan and became the general manager here.

Yes, find that person, that person is very powerful in the entire South Asia and the Middle East! Maybe he will have a solution!

Thinking of this, he looked at the secretary beside him and said, "You go out first?"

The secretary twisted his butt and went out, and Hiroaki Tanimura dialed the secret number: "Mr. Farabi, where are you? I am Xiao Tanimura."

"What? You just came to Pakistan? That's great! Can I see you? I have something important to ask you."

Three hours later, it was time to get off work, even the beautiful secretary had left, and Hiroaki Tanimura was alone in the empty office, looking at the city outside.

Pakistan is developing very fast. The port city of Karachi has been built into a first-class big city. It is one of the best in the entire South Asian region, especially the development of industries such as shipbuilding, which is full of vitality everywhere.

"Tanimura-kun, what's the matter?" Just when Hiroaki Tanimura temporarily forgot his troubles and sighed here, a voice came from behind.

A tall young man sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and flicked the dust off his leather shoes.

"Mr. Farabi, I'm very sorry that my career has encountered some difficulties here." Hiroaki Tanimura said: "Because of our company's wastewater discharge, the Karachi Environmental Protection Bureau fined us 50 billion rupees. This fine is too high. Do you have any channels to let the government fine us less?"

"Wastewater? How dare you use tricks on this!" Farabi was immediately furious: "This is the holy place given to us by Allah! How dare you pollute and destroy it here! 50 billion rupees is too little. Companies like you should get out of Pakistan directly!"

Hiroaki Tanimura was stunned. He didn't expect that this businessman would have such awareness! Could it be that this guy is Pakistani?

Until now, Farabi's identity is still a secret. In Hiroaki Tanimura's eyes, he only knows that this person is very powerful. When the company came to Pakistan to build a factory, it was he who helped negotiate with the government, saving Toshiba a lot of money. But now, this person's attitude makes Hiroaki Tanimura feel uneasy.

Farabi was still very angry and cursed for a long time. Hiroaki Tanimura slowly understood that the people here are different from other third world countries. They attach great importance to environmental protection and industrial development. They must not sacrifice the environment at the cost, because this is the land given to them by Allah. Alas, these people's beliefs are really hard to understand!

Although he was cursed by the other party, Hiroaki Tanimura could only smile and apologize. After all, he had to beg the person in front of him now.

Farabi cursed for a long time, then gradually calmed down and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Our company really can't afford such a large fine." Hiroaki Tanimura said, "So I found you and hope you can help us through this difficult time."

"I help you?" Farabi said, "What's the benefit of helping you?"

Farabi is certainly not Lei Feng, who does good deeds without leaving a name. Without sufficient benefits, Farabi would not do this.

"We can give you a reward of one million US dollars." Hiroaki Tanimura said.

One million! Farabi sneered, "That's a fine of 50 billion rupees. Do you think that relying on only one million US dollars can solve the current problem?" (To be continued ~^~)
