The next day, Chen Xiu began to take Han Song to visit some wealthy merchants in Taiyuan City.

"Baiwu Taijun, is your idea too difficult for a strong man?" An elegantly dressed middle-aged man put down his teacup and looked at Chen Xiu with a smile, there was not much friendliness in his eyes.

"Is it difficult to be strong?" Chen Xiu smiled and replied in Chinese, of course, the tone was deliberately with some strange tones, "Boss Li's business, not only cloth villages, but also rice shops, profits, in fact, is not big, am I right?" ”

Boss Li nodded, "That's true, this is also the fundamental reason why I don't agree with Baiwu Taijun, now the world is chaotic, business is not easy to do, and then share some profits, then my Li family can only drink the northwest wind, if so, Baiwu Taijun will still directly raid my house." ”

Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Boss Li said with a smile. ”

"It's not a joke in the next place, Baiwu Taijun should be very clear." Boss Li shook his head, "This is Li's determination." ”

Chen Xiu shook his head helplessly, "Boss Li, you're wrong!" ”

"Wrong?" Boss Li frowned, then smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" To put it mildly, Li has eaten more salt over the years than Baiwu Taijun has eaten. Oh, it means, Li has seen many more things than Baiwu Taijun has seen. ”

Chen Xiu was even more helpless, and then shook his head with a smile, "Boss Li, there are some things, it doesn't mean that the more you see is necessarily right, isn't it?" ”

Seeing that Boss Li didn't speak, Chen Xiu continued, "Boss Li, to be honest, if I didn't come to visit and make such a request, would your business still be able to do in such troubled times?" Or will you cooperate with the Eighth Route or the Jin Sui Army against our Great Japanese Empire? Help them secretly! Do you think that your decision is the best choice for your family? Even if you don't help the Eighth Route or Jin Suijun, are you sure that sometimes, you won't be treated as a hen that lays eggs, and then, kill chickens to take eggs? ”

Boss Li's brows furrowed, to be honest, he has a large number of people to feed.

If he could, he didn't want such an accident to happen.

He was just an ordinary businessman, the Japanese called, he didn't have a gun, there was no way to fight the Japanese, let alone for the sake of his wife and children, he would do the same.

He never felt that his blind obedience could be exchanged for the peace of his family, which was why he spoke so hard in front of this Baiwu Taijun.

He is also a person who stands up to the sky, does business with integrity, and does something and does nothing.

It's just that he may put these things in front of his family.

But even so, can his family really be safe?

"When the Imperial Army wants to use you, you have no choice." Chen Xiu smiled, "I think Boss Li knows this very well." ”

"Not bad."

"Therefore, if you cooperate with me, it is just to make less money, and the quality of life may be reduced, but after all, you can ensure that your life is worry-free and safe." Chen Xiu also put down the teacup with a smile, "I know that sometimes it is difficult to choose between the country and the family, but Boss Li's daughter and son still have a long life to go, Boss Li really can't bear it, just bury it in vain, or, let them lose their father when they are young?" ”

"Although I can't do it, it doesn't mean that the imperial army won't do it when it's in need, or maybe Ling Yan and Ling Gongzi won't have any accidents, right?"

Boss Li frowned and pondered.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, as a businessman, he is very clear about the status of this.

Therefore, the business he does is related to food and clothing, because it is a necessity.

But now, he couldn't see through what this Taijun meant, and in his tone, he didn't hear the threat, but, worried?

He has been doing business for so many years, and he has met a lot of people from all walks of life, so he trusts his own judgment. But the person in front of him is a Japanese! Are the Japanese still worried about the lives of the Chinese?

"Baiwu Taijun, to be honest, what you just said, I was tempted." Boss Li said helplessly, "I know that there will be benefits to cooperating with you, maybe you will earn less money, but at least your family is safe and smooth." It's just, can I ask the purpose of Baiwu Taijun? ”

"Purpose?" Chen Xiu smiled, "In order to let the culture of the empire integrate with the culture of China as soon as possible, let the Chinese people accept the culture of the empire as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Boss Li smiled.

Cultural integration?

In this world, I am afraid that there is no other culture that can really integrate Chinese culture!

Chinese culture has always been the sea, and other cultures are a river that merges into the sea!

Historically, this is also obvious.

Whether it is the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, or the Qing Dynasty that has just passed, it is only by sinicization that the government and people's livelihood can be stabilized.

"So, Hyakku Taijun is for the sake of the rule of the Japanese Empire, so it can be smoother, right?" Boss Li said this sentence at this time, smiled and picked up the teacup, he already had a plan in his heart, and there was no one to hesitate, there was really another culture that could suppress their Chinese culture, which did not exist yet.

"Not bad." Chen Xiu nodded, "That's it." ”

"Okay, Li, I agreed, I will hand over forty percent of the share, cooperate with Baiwu Taijun, and at the same time, I also ask Baiwu Taijun to say a few kind words in front of the imperial army to keep my family safe." Boss Li arched his hand and smiled. Cooperation is just a win-win situation for both parties.

But for Chen Xiu, this is really a win-win, because he is not Japanese!

At the end of the day, the money ends up in his pocket. At the same time, the Japanese army will also be a little jealous of these merchants because of his identity and plans.

What he wants to do is to envelop the entire Taiyuan business in his own hands, obtain enough intelligence to support the development of the front-line battlefield or base, so that the base can be preserved, and contribute more to the War of Resistance.

It seems that Boss Li took refuge with the Japanese, but in fact, Boss Li did not help the Japanese army much.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with." Chen Xiu smiled, picked up the teacup, saluted Boss Li, and drank it all, "The contract or something, I will draw it up as soon as possible, and when the time comes, Boss Li can also ask someone who can understand Japanese to check it." ”

"Okay, wait for the good news."

"Hmm."

Walking out of the Li Mansion, Chen Xiu smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, in comparison, this plan is quite smooth, at least, the businessmen still know that the advantages and avoid the disadvantages are indeed the best objects for his cooperation, when the time comes, he will regulate the entire Taiyuan market, let some Japanese overseas Chinese businessmen also participate in it, tied to a chariot.
