Tanaka picked up the contract unhurriedly and said to Zhao Yuemin: "Yueminjun, you are serious. Business is business, and you don't have to. Being so emotional doesn't do anyone any good. ”

Zhao Yuemin looked at the other party and said, "This time, the Japanese delegation, are you alone?" ”

When Tanaka heard this, an intriguing smile appeared on his face: "Yue Minjun, our Japanese delegation is indeed not alone. China's Ministry of Finance will also send an official to Hong Kong for negotiations, and the meeting will be there shortly. ”

"But ......," Tanaka said, packing up his contract, "and even if he comes, you won't have any chance of winning." Do you think he will trust my judgment, or will he believe you as a foreigner? ”

Zhao Yuemin smiled helplessly, and also felt that his words were a little redundant. No matter who comes over as a representative of Japan, it is impossible for him to convince the other party in a short time, especially in the presence of Tanaka.

Tanaka felt that he had won the battle, and he unhurriedly asked for another cup of coffee, and said:

"Yue Minjun, whether or not your Tarim oil field can continue to be successfully explored depends largely on the loan from our Bank of Japan. You can wait for someone from our government department to decide, but, I believe, the result is the same. ”

Zhao Yuemin was a little depressed, because European banks and governments are cautious about oil and gas investment, and it is very difficult to get money from them. The current positioning of the Bank of Japan is more in line with all aspects, but Tanaka is in the way, which is quite annoying.

Zhao Yuemin, who has been passing the test in the past, has indeed made some difficulties at this point.

Tanaka shook his legs slightly, revealing a smug smile. He was very happy to be able to put Zhao Yuemin in an embarrassing and coerced situation.

Zhao Yuemin's Canton Fair brought shame on Nippon oil products and became the laughing stock of the international oil industry, and Tanaka was also rebuked by the board of directors.

Zhao Yuemin's reputation has also been spread by some of his colleagues in Japan. Many people list him with Akio Morita, Sony's god of management.

Two years later, Feng Shui took turns.

Zhao Yuemin met Tanaka Yukimura again and had to admit that this was a hurdle.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

A gust of wind blew by, and a middle-aged man in a black trench coat with a personable demeanor walked in front of the two.

"Hello, please ...... a lot of people when we meet for the first time" Tanaka knew that it was a representative from the Ministry of Finance who came, and he habitually stood up and showed a polite smile, but the smile froze instantly.

"How do you ......"

Tanaka's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, and he looked at the visitor with some nervous breakdown.

"How did I end up here, did I?" Tokugawa took off his scarf and smiled calmly.

"Uncle Tokugawa......" Zhao Yuemin was also a little stunned when he looked at it. He also couldn't believe that his father's student, the former deputy director of the Institute of China-Japan Studies, had reappeared in a café in Hong Kong.

"Yuemin, let's talk later." Tokugawa smiled kindly at Zhao Yuemin, then turned his head to look at Tanaka, and said coldly: "Tanaka, do you think that kind of thing will never surface?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's the thing that you sent someone to lure my son in the United States into gambling addiction and gambling debts......"

A trace of panic flashed on Tanaka's face, and he whitewashed: "Tokugawa-kun, don't you ...... hearsay"

"Hearsay?" Tokugawa's gaze turned to Tanaka like cold lightning, "It took me a few years to figure it all out. Your lowly tricks can't be hidden from the heavens. ”

Tokugawa's eyes showed a hint of bitterness and said, "Since falling for your tricks, my whole life has changed. I can no longer work for the Sino-Japanese Research Institute, and I was assigned to the Kagoshima branch to be a deputy general manager. Kagoshima has only three employees and no business. I worked there for two years to pay off my son's gambling debts......"

"Don't talk about that...... Tokugawa said, pausing, "Now, everything has changed, and I've been given a new lease of life." ”

"Are you really a Ministry of Finance official?" Tanaka asked incredulously.

"Don't believe me?" Tokugawa took out his business card and handed it to Tanaka, and said in a voice full of majesty, "Tanaka-kun, I am ordered by the Ministry of Finance of my country to fully supervise your Mitsubishi Bank's oilfield investment plan, please cooperate!" ”

Japan is a hierarchical society, and the officials are at the top level, and they can definitely crush people.

In the past, Tanaka was Tokugawa's boss, but now Tokugawa in turn represents the government and becomes Tanaka's overseer.

Tanaka took the business card, with a shocked and surrendered face, he bit his lip in humiliation, and said in a low voice:

"Hi One! Please advise. ”

Feng Shui rotates, still two years later......

……

Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong.

The warm breeze is blowing, and the neon signs on the street are purple and red.

Zhao Yuemin and Tokugawa walked side by side in the night.

Temple Street is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed and it is also the place of fireworks in Hong Kong, so when visiting Temple Street, you can see many stalls selling replicas, counterfeits and pornographic things, and you can see JINV solicitors under the buildings next to the street.

The area of about 300 meters long is filled with small open-air shops selling jeans, T-shirts, ties, underwear, and other goods.

The area around Banyan Shutou is a concentration of divination and jianghu performers, and the scene of Anita Mui starring in "Rouge Buckle" where she sits under the gasoline lamp to ask for divination and hexagram is released repeatedly, and traditional street artists will appear from time to time to sing Cantonese opera on the spot.

Zhao Yuemin and Tokugawa sat down in front of a night stall and ordered wonton noodles, milk tea, pork chop buns, raw boiling soup, and two bottles of beer.

"Uncle Tokugawa, it's really unexpected to see each other again." Zhao Yuemin said with emotion.

Tokugawa raised his beer glass and said with emotion: "Yes, it is not easy to meet again this time." ”

Zhao Yuemin peeled a wrasse shrimp, handed the shrimp meat to Tokugawa, and said, "Uncle Tokugawa, I didn't expect that you have transformed into a civil servant, and your situation is even better than before." ”

"I'm a blessing in disguise." Tokugawa took a glass of beer, let out a long breath, and said, "Originally, the branch office in Kagoshima didn't have much business, so I thought about quitting my job and living in the countryside for a while. Later, the Ministry of Finance and Economics happened to be recruiting for a position as an oil and gas investment consultant, so I applied for the job and became a civil servant by accident. ”

"That's good, too." Zhao Yuemin raised his glass and said, "Uncle Tokugawa, you were originally one of the top experts in the Japanese oil field, and now you can be regarded as having a good development platform." ”

"yes." Tokugawa Shoichi looked up at Mingyue and said, "Our famous Japanese educator Fukuzawa Yukichi said that God will not create people, nor will it create people. Everyone has their own life, it is gold, and it will always shine. ”
