Chapter Twenty-Nine: Not a Hair Left!
"Saved!"
Chen Xu suddenly woke up from his deep sleep, his muscles tightened, and he realized that he was going to touch the pistol.
As a result, I saw a vase full of carnations on the oak bedside table next to it, and the warm sunlight shone in through the wide floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the Japanese slogan posted on the wall, and the white flowers gently fluttering in the sunlight.
Chen Xu let out a long breath, and the tense muscles on his body also relaxed,
The warm but somewhat harsh afternoon sun made him feel slightly uncomfortable, and it was better to stretch his arm out of the quilt to block his face.
The air was no longer the unpleasant smell of musty, blood, and rust in the basement, but the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital that reassured him.
On a single sofa chair under the corner of the window, the father squinted at himself with two panda eyes stunned, and when he saw his son wake up, he instantly came to his senses, trotted to the door of the ward in a few steps, and shouted outside: "Doctor!" Come on, my son is awake! ”
"This is Japan, who can understand you shouting with Chinese......" Chen Xu said with a hoarse throat and a smile, he is in a very good mood now, but his whole body is still soft and weak, and it hurts to lift his hand.
Only then did Chen Xu remember that the familiar figure he saw before he passed out was not his father!
It is definitely no coincidence that he was able to arrive at the scene so quickly, but as a father, he searched for Chen Xu in Tokyo day and night, and happened to search nearby, and rushed over as soon as he heard the explosion.
"Don't move, there are wounds all over your body, and it's not good to tear the stitches apart." Daddy came over and said, and bent down to help him tuck the quilt, and it was obvious that he wanted to make his naturally strict face look as pleasant as possible at the moment.
God knows what kind of heartache was written on his weather-beaten face when he saw his son's shocking wounds! Director Chen, who was usually calm and calm, had an uncontrollable anger rising in his heart.
"The old bell is dead!" Seeing his relatives, Chen Xu choked and tried not to let himself cry.
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much!" Chen Zhuo comforted his son and looked back to see if the doctor outside the door had come.
"How is he now?" Chen Xu closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked in a low voice.
Chen Jie moved over a round stool, sat down on the side of the hospital bed and sighed: "The Japanese police have autopsied Lao Zhong's body, and after confirming the cause of his death, he has now been sent back to China." The factory will appease his family, and you don't have to worry about this. Lao Zhong could have returned to China a long time ago, he just felt that it was his responsibility for you to be captured by the Soviets, and he looked for you everywhere in the streets and alleys of Tokyo where he was unfamiliar every day, but he didn't expect that the Soviets would attack an old man who was harmless to him. ”
Chen Xu turned his head to look out the window, his expression gloomy and refused to speak again. Beria is the kind of spy who has no feelings, and will do everything to obtain information, if Chen Xu is not killed immediately, his father, who is also in Tokyo, will not escape the murder.
Lao Zhong died because of him, how could Chen Xu not blame himself!
"How many days have I been locked up?" Chen Xu asked suddenly.
"You disappeared on October 14th, and now on November 9th, you have been kidnapped for almost a month. If you dare to torture my son like this, those Russians had better not fall into my hands, or they will have to try my methods! Chen Jie clenched his fists tremblingly, his teeth clenched, and it was clear that he was not joking.
"How's the big project I agreed with the Japanese?"
Chen Xu naturally asked about the secret contract he had negotiated with Shiga Shinichi, and the matter was very important, and Chen Xu had to pay special attention to it. He was kidnapped for more than a month, but Qian Junming and Zhong Jian, who came to Japan with the delegation, are both insiders, and even if they have an accident, the negotiations can still go on.
"Mr. Deng has personally helped you negotiate this matter, you kid dares to use the name of the country to discuss such a big business with the Japanese single-handedly, and you can negotiate it!" Chen Zhuo raised his head and nodded.
"Ahem......"
Chen Xu sucked a mouthful of phlegm into his throat and coughed violently, Chen Zhuo hurriedly got up and rubbed his back with his palm, so that he could breathe more easily.
This is the most desperate news that Chen Xu has heard, Mr. Deng has made a lot of money by meddling in the country, but he is a chicken and an egg.
After his father's description, Chen Xu can be regarded as figuring out what happened!
Shiga Shinichi of the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office got accurate information about Chen Xu's kidnapping, or because the Soviets eavesdropped on the entire negotiation process, and the fact that there was important information in the locker at the Tokyo train station was exposed.
The staff sent by the Japanese side to collect intelligence and the Soviet agents met in front of the locker at the same time, and the Japanese agents were almost completely wiped out defenseless. Thanks to President Deng's imminent visit to Japan, the railway station is sensitive with a large number of policemen on duty, and under the absolute home advantage of the Japanese side, the Soviet agents have never been able to open the lockers, and seeing that there are more and more policemen surrounding, the Soviet agents have to choose to retreat.
When the news of the exchange of fire at the train station reached Shiga Shinichi, he immediately realized that Chen Xu was in danger and immediately sent agents to search for people along the way, but he was not found until the hotel.
People are missing! The Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office knew that something was wrong, and while informing the Chinese delegation, it sent a large number of military and police to block all major roads in Tokyo and try by all means to rescue Chen Xu.
Japan is also afraid that Chen Xu will be kidnapped and taken to the Soviet Union, so it is really impossible to save it, and now as long as people are in Japan, there is still hope for rescue.
Soon, airports, train stations, and ports were sent to blockade them, and even the navy stepped up patrols in the Sea of Japan to search for ships along the way.
When the news reached Beijing, the Military Intelligence Bureau blew up Mao first, and they didn't know that Chen Xu had gone to Tokyo, Japan, otherwise they would definitely stop him as soon as possible. Chen Xu, who cleared the Soviet intelligence network in China, has become the number one assassination target of the KGB. He went to Tokyo without even a bodyguard, which was like throwing himself into a net.
At first, the situation did not expand, and the head of the CIA spy personally led a team to Tokyo to assist in the search for the rescue of Chen Xu, and his father Chen Zhuo also came with him.
Three days later, the Japanese side revised the contract, and when it came to the end, Chen Xu could not be found to sign, so Shiga Shinichi could only go to Zhong Jian and Qian Junming and ask the two to sign on behalf of Chen Xu!
After reading the contract, the two old men were really shocked that their urine almost dripped out, they didn't expect that Chen Xu and Japan would negotiate such a huge deal, where did they do it!
In advance, Chen Xu repeatedly explained that this negotiation with the Japanese was carried out in secret and must not be revealed to others. After thinking about it, the two old men told Chen Zhuo, who came to Tokyo to find his son, after all, Chen Xu's father was a high-ranking official at the provincial and departmental level, and he could be trusted and responsible at the same time.
"Such a big thing, ten Lao Tzu can't afford it!" After Chen Zhuo got the contract, he really felt sorry for the dog. Fortunately, he is a person who takes care of the overall situation, he understands that this matter is no longer an internal matter of the Chen family, and besides, he is in a hurry to find his son, how can he bother to take care of such a nosy, so he transferred the contract to the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
The head of the military intelligence bureau was even more uncontrollable, and while instructing his subordinates to cooperate with the Japanese intelligence department to continue to search and rescue Chen Xu, he chartered a plane back to Beijing overnight.
Mr. Deng, who had slept that night, was shouted by the guards, and after reading the contract, the old man's face was also a capital "stunned", and he read it again, this is a contract worth six billion US dollars, and the treasury is emptied and can't be made up!
"This kid negotiated such a big contract alone? Believe it or not! Mr. Deng asked the guard beside him.
"I'm a little unconvinced, why don't you call the little devil and ask?" The guard came over with tea and replied, "Boss, take a sip of tea to refresh yourself." ”
"Hmm." Mr. Deng took the tea and said: "I can't sleep until this matter is clear, let's go, call ......"
Full of anticipation, Mr. Deng dialed the phone of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office to make a tentative inquiry, and Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda knew the truth here, and after a few polite words, he took the initiative to ask if there were any errata, and if there was anything unsatisfactory about the contract, the Japanese side could immediately revise it.
"The contract is real!" Mr. Deng hung up the phone with a twinkle in his eyes.
Mr. Deng was so excited that he didn't sleep anymore that night, although they didn't know what Chen Xu had done to make the Japanese agree to such an important industrial construction project. However, it is certain that this contract, once fulfilled, will greatly promote the process of China's industrial modernization, and China will not lose money in any case.
It's already a benefit to your mouth, how can Mr. Deng not eat it!
Not only to eat but also to chew slowly, quickly convene experts from the three industries of domestic automatic machinery, electronic science and technology, and chemical industry, and analyze and consider the terms of the contract word by word overnight.
When the Japanese who pick the door meet the calculating Chinese, it is really one thing and one thing.
In Chen Xu's view, as long as the contract can be signed, everything will be fine. In the eyes of these domestic experts, every word in this $6 billion contract is worth thousands of dollars, and any piece of machinery and equipment is worth several millions.
When President Deng visited Japan, after the Japanese side saw the revised unrecognizable contract, they vomited blood three liters on the spot, knowing that they had cut some meat and signed the contract with Chen Xu's kid, and now these Chinese are no longer cutting the meat of the Japanese consortium, they simply do not spit out the cramps and slag of the bones, and even the screws have to be calculated.
That's not all, in order to prevent the Japanese from playing ghosts, Mr. Deng took a team of 700 people to visit the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, visited the factory with bright windows, and the modern workshop where employees can produce with clean and clean buttons.
I was amazed at the gap in national strength, if there was a war, it would be enough!
As a result, a team of more than 500 experts was dispersed to all the chemical plants on the list of Mitsubishi Chemical Group to conduct inventory mapping one by one.
After all, Chen Xu's request is to build an identical integrated chemical center in China in the same way, following the example of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group. The Chinese side was worried that the Japanese were playing tricks on the plant and equipment, so they first sent people to find out the Japanese factory from the inside out, and even the thickness of the factory floor and the distance between the equipment were recorded with a tape measure, so as to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the slightest loophole.
Before the visit, Mr. Deng also learned that Chen Xu, a great hero, was kidnapped by the KGB of the Soviet Union. He personally sent a note to the CPSU that Chen Xu must be released immediately, but unfortunately the Soviet Union was in a critical period of change and did not pay attention to this at all.
Mr. Deng turned to the United States for help, and President Carter immediately ordered the CIA to fully assist in finding Chen Xu.
The kidnapping case involved the political level, and the impact spread rapidly, and the Japanese government came under tremendous pressure and sent a large number of police forces to dig three feet into the ground in Tokyo.
"Hey...... With Mr. Deng's departure, the matter has been completely finalized, but unfortunately everything is out of me, and Beijing has taken all the cheapness, and the most important thing is that I can't get a cent of the billion-dollar interest-free loan. After listening to his father, Chen Xu looked depressed and felt very lost, he didn't care about the process of searching and rescuing him at all.
"Son, you are too greedy, can you swallow such a big project alone! Now there is a lot of noise in Beijing, especially the comprehensive chemical center, all provinces are asking to build factories on their own territory, as long as such a large chemical center is built, it is a money printing machine of the local government, and no one will give it to anyone! Chen Zhuo knew that his son was capable, so he could only helplessly persuade him to look away.
"Is there anything else besides that?" Chen Xu smashed his dry mouth, with a loveless expression, and asked weakly.
"Oooh! Mr. Deng personally negotiated a steel plant with the Japanese prime minister, and spent a full 20 billion yuan! My son is still better at negotiating. Chen Zhuo couldn't help but say excitedly.
Hearing this, Chen Xu was greatly surprised, this steel plant is actually the first phase of Baosteel's project. At that time, Mr. Deng visited many large Japanese enterprises and saw that those modern factories really wanted every one, but they just didn't have the money. In the end, after careful consideration, because the strength of the steel industry represents a country's war potential, he finally ruthlessly took out his family funds and asked the Japanese to build one in China according to Nippon Steel's Yawata Iron and Steel Plant.
However, in history, the Japanese shouted 30 billion yuan, and in this life, because Chen Xu also held the submarine technology and information technology that the Japanese needed, he didn't dare to go too far, but only opened a price of 20 billion, which was something Chen Xu didn't expect.
"This is kind of a change in history!" Chen Xu muttered in a low voice.
