After Zhang Zi'an finished speaking, he called over his handful of subordinates and climbed into the Toyota van the Japanese side had assigned them, ordering the Driver to take him straight back to their lodging hotel.
Regardless of what arrangements the Japanese side might make, Zhang Zi'an and the others returned to the Waqiao Hotel in Tokyo, shut the door, and held a closed-door meeting.
The moment the door closed, the anger faded from Zhang Zi'an's face, leaving only calm.
That made it clear that his earlier anger had been entirely an act.
Judging by the Tokyo Electric Power Company's attitude just now, not everyone on the Japanese side wanted to introduce geothermal power stations. At the very least, TEPCO did not.
To outsiders, the Illusion Immortal Technology Company had always seemed aloof, especially when it came to geothermal power generation, as though it had no intention of bringing the technology to the rest of the world.
But Zhang Zi'an knew perfectly well that Shen Bing took this matter very seriously. Even after the Dragon Scale System officially went into operation, he had stressed at several meetings that building geothermal power stations would remain the company's core business for a long time to come.
Why did Shen Bing place such importance on building geothermal power stations? It certainly wasn't for the money, but Zhang Zi'an did not know the deeper reason.
Not long ago, the company had restructured, spinning off its geothermal power generation business. He had also gone from manager of the Human Resources Department to general manager of the Phantom Immortal Energy Company.
Wang Sheng had once spoken with him in private, telling him that the boss had placed a powerful strategic asset in his hands.
What exactly was a strategic asset? Wang Zi'an had a vague idea.
