CHAPTER XLIV

When Rong Ziyi met Ryoko Fukada in the courtyard of the Mei Agency, she was seriously training a little wolf dog that had just reached the full moon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I have never seen Ryoko Fukada so embarrassed, she is almost the most self-disciplined and neat person Rong Ziyi knows, even if she is wearing a military uniform, she has to iron it neatly and straight, and her boots are black and shiny, spotless. But Ryoko Fukada in front of her, squatting on the damp grass that had just rained, her brown military uniform and black boots were covered with mud spots and puppy paw prints. Her hair was wet and sticking to her forehead, and she couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain, but her eyes were wet and shiny. The dog was no better, covered in mud, drooping ears, sticking out his tongue and panting. Seeing Ryoko Fukada stand up and relax her vigilance against it, she got up from the grass and stepped on the mud to get under the car next to her and refused to come out, only a piece of dog leash around her neck was still exposed.

Rong Ziyi's heart was filled with some inexplicable emotions, and his dark eyes flashed.

Ryoko Fukada blushed when she saw him, and she obviously shrank back. But she realized something at once, and nodded to him with a generous smile, albeit with a hint of shyness in her smile.

"Ryoko always surprises me. Looking at this situation, could it be that you are looking for another job and are preparing to be transferred from the special high class to the police dog training class? Rong Ziyi joked.

"Rongsang, don't make fun of me. Are you here to find me? Ryoko Fukada didn't answer him, just asked rhetorically.

"No, I made an appointment with Kobayashi, the head of the economics section. I think he's already waiting for me in the office at the moment. ”

"I see. Then you go up quickly, don't keep him waiting. Ryoko Fukada looked at Rong Ziyi, who was meticulous in his suit and leather shoes, even the tie and cufflinks, and wished he would leave quickly.

Rong Ziyi nodded and said goodbye politely.

Ryoko Fukada bit her lip at his departing back, and stomped her feet silently, eager to find a crack in the ground to hide in and never come out.

-------------------------------

Kobayashi Feng is the head of the economic section of the secret agency, and Rong Ziyi has dealt with him a few times, so he is familiar with the road.

He first placed a bottle of foreign liquor on the table and said in Japanese, "This is the Four Roses whisky I bought from a foreign company." I know that Kobayashi is good at drinking, but he is used to drinking sake, so can he change his taste and try this. ”

Xiao Lin Feng smiled and picked up the wine bottle and looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "You, you are always so polite." Speaking of which, I studied under Commander Fukada, and you and his old man are also teachers and friends, and we are not outsiders. ”

"That's right. It's just that when I was in Tokyo, I heard your name, but I didn't have the opportunity to meet you, so I'm sorry to be here. But fortunately, after many years, we met in Shanghai. You see, this is what the Chinese call fate. ”

"Not bad. In the field of economic research, there are only a few people who have made achievements and can be admired by me. Now that Japan is cooperating with the new government, it is only a matter of time before they meet. However, with Mr. Rong, I have indeed been friends for a long time, and I hate to see each other late. ”

"Section Chief Kobayashi is polite." After the greetings, it is necessary to get to the point. Rong Ziyi did not beat around the bush, but said bluntly: "I came today, I have something to ask for, and I ask Mr. Xiaolin not to refuse." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Lin Feng stretched out his hand and beckoned Rong Ziyi to sit on the sofa: "Please tell me if you have something."

"That's right, I would like to apply for a privilege from the Japanese side."

"Privileges?" Kobayashi Feng was puzzled: "I don't know what Mr. Rong is referring to......"

"At this stage of the war, it is almost in a stalemate. Now it seems that it will be very difficult to end the war in two or three years. Therefore, how to continue to survive in a state of war, and at the same time accumulate supplies and actively prepare for war is the first priority.

"Shanghai originally had the reputation of being a Chinese wallet and a major source of national income. However, in Shanghai's current economy, prices are soaring and the people are struggling to make a living. Is it a lack of production capacity? No. Because according to the survey, the level of productivity in Shanghai and its surrounding areas did not decline compared to the pre-war period. The main reason for the current economic downturn is wartime control.

"Of course, in extraordinary times, the control system is necessary, but can a certain degree of relaxation be given within the system to alleviate a little economic pressure? Because, if the string collapses too tightly, it is also the easiest to break. ”

"Then what does Mr. Rong mean ......"

"I would like to apply for a trade concession on behalf of the new government. Delegate this right to a specific object and allow it to exchange goods freely. ”

"Oh? Where is the scale of this free exchange? ”

"Section Chief Kobayashi is worthy of being engaged in economic research, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem. This exchange, of course, is freedom in the full sense of the word. In the current land of China, material production is extremely unbalanced. It is not impossible to rely on self-reliance, but it is unnecessary. The ancients said that those who sacrificed the near and sought the far were in vain; Those who sacrifice the distance to seek the near will have an end in their lives. ”

"So, this particular object, Mr. Rong, already has a goal?"

"Of course." Rong Ziyi said: "I will grant the trade concession to the newly established Southeast Trading Company. The funder of this trading company, Mr. Kobayashi, is no stranger, and that is No. 76. ”

"Number 76?" Kobayashi Feng muttered, "If they get this trade concession, then it is conceivable that there will be a large amount of money in the account. Our military has already paid a large amount of military spending to No. 76 every year, so how can we provide him with such a policy? Mr. Rong, I'm afraid this is easy to be true. ”

Rong Ziyi smiled and said, "Of course, you can't let him have both. With this policy, Section Chief Kobayashi can justifiably cancel the military spending on No. 76. 76. Open source and reduce expenditure, self-sufficient; The Japanese military department saves trouble and saves expenses, so why not? ”

Xiao Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "I understand what Mr. Rong meant. However, I will have to study the details again and touch on other departments. ”

"Of course." Rong Ziyi stood up and shook hands with Xiao Lin Feng: "I'm waiting for good news in the government office." ”

---------------------------

To be able to save a large amount of money paid to No. 76 every year, and still maintain control of it, the price spent is only to delegate a little power, Rong Ziyi expected that the Japanese would not disagree. As for the so-called "study of specific details", it is just Kobayashi Kaede's posture.

Rong Ziyi sneered and instructed the driver: "Go to No. 76." "He hasn't been there since the explosives hit on 76. And he hadn't seen Li Shiqun for a while, and he felt that there seemed to be a lack of fun in life.
