The next trip to Osaka was very smooth, and the Chamber of Commerce in Zhuang also helped solve many detailed problems. The managing directors of Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Marubeni all came to Osaka to discuss cooperation with Wu Chenxuan and his entourage, and by the way, they also solved the problem of the delegation's inspection of Japanese companies. Osaka's city hall is one of the earliest municipal facilities in Japan, and as a major commercial city, Osaka's city council is relatively open-minded because it has a lot of contact with democratic ideas from overseas. After a few days of investigation, the Qing bureaucrats, who had always despised merchants, gradually understood the importance of merchants.

For the economic investigation of the content is more extensive, Dai Hongci went abroad when he was serving as the right attendant of the household department, on the way to the inspection was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, the household is the "money bag" of the imperial court and the management of household registration, Dai Hongci paid great attention to this aspect of course, so later generations of the investigation of this road has a record that "Minister Dai went to meet with bankers, specifically to inspect finance."

Dai Hongci roughly inspected the bank's main facilities, operating principles, and confidentiality measures. When he was passing through Yokohama, he made a special day to inspect the Yokohama Shojin Bank, and recorded in his diary the structure and facilities of each floor of the bank, and even mentioned the methods for supervising the efficiency of the staff. On the second floor of the bank, he was inspired to think that "all the methods of the government offices should be used as a good law for the officials, not just the bank", that is, other government offices can use this method to supervise their employees to ensure work efficiency, which can be said to be well versed in the beauty of transparent office in later generations. Dai Hongci also inspected other Japanese-funded and foreign-funded banks and chambers of commerce, and they were very careful, and from time to time he added his own understanding and opinions, so that he could make some choices when he returned to China.

Wu Chenxuan is also very interested in these, as the chairman of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, Wu Chenxuan is welcomed by his Japanese counterparts, the operation of the angel fund of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce makes Japan's Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and other chaebols are very concerned, this Seto coastal inspection allowed the Shandong Chamber of Commerce and several major Japanese chambers of commerce to be in direct contact, the two sides suddenly found that each other has so many advantages to use, so on the first night of arriving in Tokyo, Wu Chenxuan, who had been discussing with several major chaebols for a long time along the way, with the help of several assistants sent by the Chamber of Commerce and Mr. He Hongbin, the general ledger of Meng Luochuan, finalized a memorandum of financial cooperation between the four major chambers of commerce.

As the head of the super giant cross-industry trust with assets of more than 300 million taels of silver, Wu Chenxuan undisputedly sat in the position of the host of this financial cooperation meeting, and finally under the resistance of several Japanese companies, the two sides distributed the equity according to the ratio of 4:2.5:2.5:1, and decided to set up a "Heqi Industrial and Commercial Bank" in Osaka and Jinan, and at the same time invested in the establishment of "Yuantai Stock Exchange", "Yuantai Futures Exchange" and "Yuantai Industrial and Commercial Club" in the same proportion around this bank. It is also the establishment of two sub-centers in Jinan and Osaka.

Wu Chenxuan, who returned to the hotel after signing the agreement, received an invitation card with the inscription "The head of Xuanyang Society" inviting him to a hot spring in Chiba Prefecture to bathe and taste tea.

"Mr. Chenxuan, do you know the details of this Mr. Toushan?" Brother Yu Youren is a new recruit of the Revolutionary Party, but because he worked in the General Association for a period of time when he came to Japan last time, he is not only familiar with Qiao Fu, Huang Kedi, and Hu Yutang, but also knows a little about the Japanese who have always supported the Revolutionary Party. I was afraid that this Lord Wu would think that the Xuanyang Society was just a folk party and despise him, so he reminded him.

"Mr. Toushan is not only the head of the Genyo Society, but also the big benefactor of the Revolutionary Party, and Mr. Qiao is afraid that half of the funds are funded by this Japanese friend." Wu Chenxuan has long known about Toushan Man and the Xuanyang Society, not to mention their notorious other name "Black Dragon Society" in later generations, just to say that their relationship with the revolutionary party is not ordinarily deep. "How about coming with me to meet your former idol?"

"Well, I'm still not going. So as not to be embarrassed when everyone meets. "Yu Youren is still very kind, although he already knows that the blind command of the revolutionary party is the fundamental reason for the failure of many revolutions in China, but he is still a little ashamed of himself in the face of his former idol Jofu.

"Well, okay. One day, I will allow you to say to these revolutionaries without any guilt, look, I am on the right path. Yu Youren will always untie the knot one day, and Wu Chenxuan didn't plan to be in a hurry, so he only took Huang Xinpei and ten internal guards to Chiba County, and reported to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs that he planned to take a hot spring and view Mount Fuji.

"Wu Sang, meet for the first time, please take care of me!" A middle-aged man wearing a black kimono and dragging clogs greeted Wu Chenxuan and his party at the gate of the hot spring, and the other Japanese ronins also hurriedly bent down and bowed.

"Toushan-kun, it's too polite." Wu Chenxuan got down from the first carriage and hurriedly returned the salute, although Tou Shanman was a little surprised how Wu Chenxuan knew himself, but he didn't show it on his face. A few people exchanged pleasantries at the door, and entered the interior of the hot spring hotel under the guidance of the Japanese maid.

"Wu Sang, there are two gentlemen from Tangshan in a while, would you mind having a party with them?"

"Mr. Toushan, the guest is as he pleases, I am a rule-abiding person." Wu Chenxuan replied with a smile, making Tou Shan full of stunned moments, and then touched his short hair stubble and laughed, but when he turned around, a touch of melancholy appeared on his face. Soon, the internal guard was guided to a Japanese room for dinner and rest, and only one young guard and Huang Xinpei accompanied Wu Chenxuan to the door of the next room. Tou Shan Man waved his hand to let a few guards and maids retreat, and only a middle-aged man in a suit followed Tou Shan Man and opened the sliding door of this room at Tou Shan Man's signal.

When the Japanese-style room is opened, an elegant room is revealed, and the other side of the room is completely open, facing a small garden, but the hot spring is in the courtyard, and the steam rises, making the distant Mt. Fuji looming, and the artistic conception is very mysterious. A middle-aged man in a dark gray kimono is kneeling on a futon in front with his back to the door, as if looking at Mt. Fuji in the distance. There is also a fat man in a suit who is eating peanuts in his hand, taking advantage of his legs nonchalantly.

"Qiao Sang, Huang Sang, today I have brought a distinguished guest." Tou Shanman seemed to be summoning guests from his old friend's house and inviting them to accompany him, but who would have thought that this was the first meeting of the two heroes who would affect the rise and fall of China Shenzhou in the future.

The middle-aged man who was fascinated by the mountain turned around, looked at the young man in a military uniform who came in behind Tou Shanman with a smile, nodded his head slightly, and made a gesture of invitation with his right hand. Facing this familiar and unfamiliar face just now, Wu Chenxuan's heart was also slightly agitated, but then he stabilized his mind, and gestured to the middle-aged man, sitting generously in the position of the guest of honor, Huang Xinpei also sat down, and the young guard knelt quietly behind the two.

"Wu Sang, let me introduce you, these two gentlemen from your country, this is..."Tou Shanman sat down on the main seat, and was about to open his mouth to introduce the two, but Wu Chenxuan raised his hand to stop Tou Shanman's introduction.

Wu Chenxuan stood up, but took out a six-gun from his pocket and pointed it at the smiling middle-aged man opposite, and Huang Xinpei also took out a pistol and pointed it at the fat man in a suit.

"Yu Gong, you are the leader of the rebellious party, and the imperial court wants to commit a crime, and it just so happens that I am the presidential officer of the Wuyi New Army who is responsible for suppressing bandits. Yu Private, you are the enemy who instructed your subordinates to assassinate me twice. Mr. Jove, I don't seem to have a reason to let you go, do I? ”

"Wu Sang, please lay down your weapons, this is the Xuanyang Society. You and Qiao San are both my guests, and the Genyosha will not allow its own guests to shed blood on our territory, and if it does, the Genyosha will guarantee that it will be the blood of the enemy. Tou Shan changed his kind look and said to Wu Chenxuan fiercely.

"Mr. Toyama." The middle-aged man with a mustache pressed down with his hands, "Please sit down." It's okay, I think Lord Wu is just joking, to liven up the atmosphere, there is really no need to get excited. ”

"O, Mr. Jove, you seem to have forgotten that you and I have nothing in common." Wu Chenxuan's pistol didn't have the slightest intention of taking it back, "Do you want us to gamble on your luck, if you can get away with this shot, how about I write off the grievances with the revolutionary party?" ”

"You, you don't want to hurt Mr." The fat man in the suit dodged in front of the middle-aged man, and there was also an extra Colt revolver* pistol in his hand. But before his pistol was pointed at Wu Chenxuan, an object flashed quickly, and the revolver in the fat man's hand fell to the ground in response, and then next to the revolver was a bamboo tea pick, obviously someone took the tea pick and threw it over and hit the gun in the fat man's hand. At this time, everyone in the room found that the young guard behind Wu Chenxuan just now was missing.

"Here it is." Toushan was full of helplessness, because although his head was dissatisfied, but a jet-black muzzle against the back of his head really made Toushan dare not move, for fear that the other party would misunderstand, and as soon as the several samurai from the Xuanyang Society who rushed over opened the door, they saw the young guard behind their boss and the pistol in her hand against the boss's head. However, the samurai hadn't started yet, and the young guard's empty right hand had a strange-looking submachine gun, although these samurai of the Genyosha despised each other for playing with guns directly, but the message conveyed by this submachine gun at them was very clear to everyone.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be about to freeze, and the gun in Huang Xinpei's hand had begun to shake in this oppressive atmosphere, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man named Qiao Fu sat down quietly, took a cup of tea and took two sips, and said with a smile:

"Lord Wu, let's have a cup of tea. Since you are here, why rush to take my Joff's life, anyway, I just want to explain some things to you face to face today, and finish talking about the business of both sides, as for whether you want to take my head, you might as well decide later. With that, Joff sat down and poured himself a drink.

"It doesn't look like it's a fake." Wu Chenxuan suddenly smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to put down their weapons. "Don't tell lies in front of real people, Mr. Jof, let's go public before private, how about starting negotiations with Mr. Toushan's territory?"

"What Lord Wu said is very true, and he doesn't dare to invite it!" After saying that, Qiao Fu and Wu Chenxuan laughed heartily, and the two took a step closer, and their two big hands clasped together.

The first meeting of the two heroes in a foreign country is a comprehensive and profound confrontation, and its historical significance can only be vividly revealed decades later
