Chapter 21: Cafe Negotiations

Sitting in a small café and watching the traffic flow outside the window, men and women hugging each other often have a livelier nightlife in a metropolis like Tokyo than during the day.

Because it was too boring, Chen Xu could only drink coffee without a cup, and the mille-feuille cake on the table was already the fifth to eat.

"Sir, is there anyone in this position? Mind if I sit here for a while? ”

There was a soft voice of inquiry over his head, and when he looked up, he saw a beautiful woman. Her figure is tall, her split long skirt sets off her slender waist and plump ****, Xiaolu's hemisphere is as white as fat, her long wavy hair, and her red lips are full of mature charm.

Chen Xu glanced at the woman slightly, then turned his gaze back to the world outside the window, and then continued to sip his coffee, and after half a sound, he said unhurriedly: "If this is the efficiency of the Japanese intelligence department, it is really disappointing." I spent two hours walking around the streets of Tokyo before nightfall, and then I sat down and drank three cups of coffee and ate five pieces of cake before you sent someone to contact me. I was thinking that if I finish this cake and you still don't show up, I'm going to get up and leave. If you could, come over with your stewards! I don't have the time to play a temptation game with you, so let's talk about it straightforwardly! ”

The red-lipped woman was stunned for a moment, her eyes were full of panic, and she bowed down helplessly and stammered, "I'm sorry!" Then he turned and hurried away.

Seeing this woman's abnormal reaction, Chen Xu was finally relieved, this woman was indeed sent by the Japanese intelligence department to contact him to spy on intelligence, he was afraid that the Japanese side would ignore the bait he had given him, if the other party did not take the initiative, Chen Xu would not be able to implement it even if he had a plan.

In fact, Chen Xu didn't know whether the red-lipped woman was an intelligence officer just now, what he said just now was just a temptation. This woman didn't notice in a hurry that Chen Xu was speaking Chinese, how could an ordinary Japanese woman who came to fish for handsome guys understand?

The rest of the coffee drinkers in the café were gone within ten minutes, and the shop began to become silent, except for the sound of car horns honking outside.

Three men in suits suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xu's table.

"Mr. Chen, please forgive us for our negligence, because of the mistake of intelligence, we didn't know that you were such a straightforward person, so we didn't come to contact you at the first time, I apologize for my behavior just now, I hope this incident will not affect our next conversation." The old man with the head is one meter eight tall, with broad shoulders and a strong triangular face, and a pitted and naturally fierce appearance on his face, he bends down and bows ninety degrees when he speaks, putting his posture to the lowest.

Chen Xu raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him, and his eyes lit up because he saw an old acquaintance from behind the man. The young man in the blue suit standing in the back will become a core official of the Japanese Cabinet's Intelligence Investigation Office in 30 years, this person is named Shiga Ichiro, a pro-Chinese faction, and like Chen Xu, he is a staunch anti-American. Because of the common goal, Chen Xu and him had a deep intersection in the past, although the two were rivals, they would also abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate when they encountered common interests.

But now he is still a rookie who has just debuted, and he probably doesn't even have the right to speak, and this time he followed his boss over and was probably just a bodyguard. However, the fact that he can appear here means that the man in front of him is Shiga Shinichi, an important aide under his uncle, former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka.

With a pro-China faction, Chen Xu can basically be sure that most of his mission has been successful, and the next thing is only for the two sides to exchange interests and negotiate cooperation.

The so-called pro-China is actually just a pro-China interest, and after hard economic primitive accumulation, Japan has become an economic beast and has begun to export its economy to the whole world and expand its economic territory. Looking at the world, only China, a country with an undeveloped population, is still a virgin land for investment, which is suitable for a large amount of capital injection.

In the face of economic interests, Japanese capitalists began to take the initiative to throw olive branches to China, hoping to ease relations between the two countries. It just so happened that at this time, China was in the midst of a long drought and was in the most scarce time for money and technology.

So the two countries saw each other right, and in addition to dealing with a common enemy, the Soviet Union, and driven by common interests, the exchanges between the two governments suddenly intensified.

Chen Xu's attitude towards the Japanese is that they can only be used and cannot be approached, and since it is just an exchange of interests, there is no need to be too polite.

So he didn't get up, just reached out and made a gesture of please: "Please sit down!" Let's get straight to the point, say whatever you want, and don't hide it. ”

Shiga Shinichi walked into the seat opposite Chen Xu, showed a formulaic smile, and introduced himself in broken Chinese with a Japanese accent: "I, Shiga Shinichi, I can take responsibility for any conversation with Mr. Chen after that." ”

"Responsible? It also depends on whether you are level or not, you are from the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office? Or is it from the Intelligence Headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces? If it's from the Public Security Department, leave as soon as possible and throw it over with a different level. Chen Xu didn't mean to speak Japanese at all, and said directly in Chinese without being salty.

"I came from the Cabinet Intelligence Office, and this secret meeting was arranged directly by the Prime Minister, who is waiting for the outcome of this meeting at the official residence at this time. Mr. Chen is very familiar with China's intelligence system! I wonder if you are a representative of the government or a member of the military? The muscles on Shiga's face shook a few times, and he moved his seat without smiling.

"I must state that I do not speak for the government, and everything I say in this café is a secret agreement, which means that there is no zài in this meeting. If any information is leaked, our official authorities will not admit that there was such a meeting! ”

Chen Xu crossed Erlang's legs, looking high, and said first: "It doesn't matter what my identity is, the important thing is that I can take out what you want!" ”

The meaning of Chen Xu's words has clearly shown that he is a representative of the military, and he will not say much about his specific identity, and Japan needs to make up for it by itself.

Having been an intelligence officer for decades, Chen Xu is well versed in the essence of international diplomacy, and insider trading requires a completely different attitude according to the form. No matter what, we must ensure our own initiative.

Although China in this era is not good economically, it has quite a say in international politics and military, and as the largest country in the world that opposes the United States and resists Soviet repair, it is quite barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

The Japanese are lackeys of US imperialism and a defeated country in World War II, and they still owe a blood debt to China.

Chen Xu, as a person who came to collect debts, naturally did not need to be polite to them.

Besides, the Japanese are originally cheap, and if you are polite to him, they will look down on you, think you are a bully, and play conspiracy and tricks on you without discussion. If you appear in the posture of a superior and do not make sense, the Japanese will be subservient and psychologically disadvantaged.

Shiga Shinichi looked at the proud young man in front of him, thought of the prime minister's explanation, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, coughed and said: "Mr. Chen, thank you for accepting the invitation to participate in the Tokyo Expo, this Chinese exhibit has opened our eyes, I didn't expect China to have such a high achievement in electronic information, especially those two nuclear power plants are even more breathtaking, even Japan does not have such advanced technology." ”

"China has been the center of the world since ancient times, and even if it develops behind closed doors, it will not produce anything worse than that of your Western countries." Chen Xu looked smug and shook his head

"Definitely! Truly! Shiga Shin nodded again and again with embarrassment, everyone knew that China was now a backward industrial country, but he couldn't refute it face to face, for fear of upsetting this young man. His eyes rolled before he continued: "I wonder what China's intention is to publicly display the military technology of submarine propeller at the expo this time?" ”

"It's nothing, since this is an industrial expo, let's show our country's industrial strength, the propeller is just a model we made casually, not a military secret." Chen Xu took out a lighter, lit a cigarette for himself, and exhaled a puff of smoke over the table.

Shiga Shinichi is an old fritter, how can he not hear what Chen Xu means is asking the Japanese side to open the card first to reveal the reserve price.

"I don't know if China is willing to transfer the manufacturing process of this type of propeller, and we are willing to buy it at a high price."

Shiga Shinichi touched the cold sweat on his forehead, the first bidder is often at a disadvantage in negotiations, this propeller is of great significance to the progress of Japanese submarines, so the Mitsubishi consortium requires the government to be sure to get the design drawings and manufacturing process of this propeller no matter how much it costs.

"If you want to transfer technology, there is no problem, our country is ready to go all out to develop nuclear submarine technology, many of these technologies with the latest conventional submarines introduced by the Soviet Union cannot be used, if you want to buy it for you, there is no problem, but you have to keep it secret from the Soviet side." Chen Xu pretended not to care and said that he leaked his mouth, his own family knew his own affairs, and he knew that if these technologies were developed by China itself, the Japanese would definitely not believe it, and only by changing it to the mysterious Soviet submarine technology, the Japanese would not doubt the authenticity of these technologies.

Chen Xu's answer was like a shot in the arm that instantly made Shiga Shinichi's whole person cheer up, and the eyes that were still dead fish eyes just now instantly shone brightly. Originally, the Mitsubishi consortium just wanted to get the propeller technology, but according to the young man's intentions, he seemed to bring more good things to exchange with Japan, and the propeller was just an introduction.

Shiga Shinichi knew very well that although China's industry was large and complete, it was very backward in cutting-edge industries, and the Soviets could not give them the latest submarine technology, the only possibility was that the Chinese obtained these things through illegal means, but they could not digest them themselves, so they used them to exchange benefits for Japan.

"If the Chinese side transfers the most advanced submarine technology of the Soviet Union, we can buy it at a high price." Shiga Shinichi swallowed his saliva and looked forward to it in his heart, if this deal could be negotiated, he would not only get the benefits of the Mitsubishi Foundation, but also his status in the cabinet would inevitably rise again.

Chen Xu took out a folded piece of A4 paper from the pocket of his suit, put it on the table and pushed it to the opposite side with his fingers, then raised his chin and said, "The list is here, you can pick it yourself!" You've chosen, we'll talk about it next. ”

In fact, Chen Xu is knowingly asking, with the greed of the Japanese on the paper list of the technology they must want, this is also Chen Xu's strategy, let the Japanese choose themselves, so that he can better open his mouth.

Shiga Shinichi opened the note and scanned it back and forth twice, obviously he couldn't understand these professional technical words, and in the end he could only shake his head, stand up and bow down, "Can you please let me go out for a while?" ”

Chen Xu beckoned indifferently: "Go!" By the way, negotiate the price......"
