Chapter 184: Meeting with Yukichi Kohata (2)

The first time he spoke, both sides left different feelings on each other, and Hu Wenkai felt that Kohata Youkichi was a professional diplomat, with sharp eyes and quick thinking, and felt that the other party was prepared. Kohata Youji felt that Hu Wenkai was not serious but quite tactful, unlike the Chinese he had seen.

While speaking, the wine and food were served, Hu Wenkai unscrewed the cap of the Moutai wine bottle and said: "Mr. Kohata Youji, I am an out-and-out East Asian, and I am not used to eating Western food, so I have to invite you to eat Chinese food." ”

Yukichi Kohata looked at the wine glass in front of him and said, "Everyone is East Asian, and they are within the scope of chopstick culture. ”

"This is Moutai?" Kohata Yukichi lowered his head and sniffed.

"Yes, yes, I've found someone who understands alcohol, Mr. Kohata Yukichi."

"China's two major liquor types sauce flavor type and strong flavor type, the sauce flavor type is several Moutai fragrance but not gaudy, low but not light, mellow and elegant, not strong or violent, long aftertaste, poured into the cup overnight, the aroma will not disperse for a long time." Hu Wenkai introduced.

"Mr. Hu is a wine connoisseur?"

"It's not that I just like to drink, how much does Mr. Kohata Yukichi drink?"

"Generally, sometimes I take a few bites, Mr. Hu is so young that he is not greedy for a cup." Kohata Yukichi spoke like an old man.

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I set goals for my life to enjoy life and feel the feeling of quicksand passing through my fingertips. After speaking, Hu Wenkai suddenly picked up the cup and drank it all.

There was a smile in Kohata Youji's eyes, and he picked up the wine glass with Hu Wenkai and smacked his lips.

"Mr. Hu's bold man."

"I'm a vulgar person, life is short, I have money to spend boldly, and I drink wine freely, don't wait until I have no money and no wine to sigh in vain."

"It's not vulgar, it's temperamental. Is it okay for Mr. Hu to visit in private and talk casually? ”

"Yes, Mr. Yukichi Kohata, you can get started."

"What does Mr. Hu think about the current situation in the world?"

"Mr. Kohata Youkichi, your question is too heavy, it needs at least the research institute level to answer it, and Wen Kaicai is shallow and I am afraid it will be difficult to answer."

"I have read several speeches and articles of Mr. Hu, such as the section where Panasonic Jun travels thousands of miles, which is very appropriate."

"Mr. Yukichi Kohata won't be here to kick the restaurant, right?"

"Where is it, how can it be, you can only get the truth by taking the words of a hundred schools, not to mention that what Mr. Hu said is very true. China is rich in natural resources and talents, and I have been very interested in Mr. Hu since I heard about Mr. Hu's deeds two years ago, and I only got to see him today. ”

"Isn't it better to be famous than to meet?"

"Haha, no, Mr. Hu is very good at joking. What is Mr. Hu's assessment of Sino-Japanese relations? ”

Kohata Youji began to get straight to the point, Hu Wenkai showed an expression that had been thinking for a long time before coming to a conclusion, picked up the wine glass and put it down.

"This question is actually not something I can answer, I just say my personal opinion, China and Japan are neighbors separated by a strip of water, and at the same time, the ethnic groups in the Confucian cultural circle, I personally think that the two sides need to be friendly. What is your assessment of Sino-Japanese relations? ”

"I personally advocate that Japan and China get along well and work together to advance and retreat, but this is not the case with the officials of your country, and many people in your country have the idea of confronting Japan with the West."

"Why should you contend with your country, and what does your country have to contend with? Wen Kai didn't understand. Caucasian people are all cannibalistic and don't spit out bones, and what will be a good result for them to even with them? Hu Wenkai said while taking care of the food.

"For example, I feel that there is a shadow of the Americans behind the Shandong incident, and if the two countries can sit down calmly and discuss well, anything can be resolved."

"This matter should be asked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wen Kai and Takeo personally think that it should be done according to the current international standards, otherwise it will be annoying to be tired and crooked."

"International norms are made by Westerners, for Westerners."

This is not true, Japan has already left Asia and joined Europe, and it can be regarded as a member of the Western civilized world. The bloody lessons of World War I remind us to cherish peace, which is not easy to come by. ”

"What does Mr. Hu mean peace first?"

"Peace in today's world is the main keynote, and anything that undermines peace will be unanimously rejected by all mankind. Think about how harmonious the relationship between the two countries is now after hundreds of years of war between Britain and France, there is no knot that cannot be untied, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Hu Wenkai raised his wine glass and took the initiative to touch it with Kohata Youji.

"Cheers to Sino-Japanese peace and Sino-Japanese friendship."

Yukichi Kohata put down his glass and carefully put the braised lion's head into his bowl, and dug a small piece with the spoon to taste it.

"Mr. Hu thinks how will Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui and Japan get along in the future?"

"Mr. Kohata Youji, don't talk about these things for private dinners, if you really want to ask about this, I suggest you go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China for consultation, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui are under the jurisdiction of the government of the Republic of China and have no diplomatic power."

"Mr. Hu is abrupt, I am very interested to know your company's attitude towards Japan."

"In business, we at Henyep Industrial adopt a reciprocal strategy for all companies in the world, and if the other party opens the market, we will also open the market. Doing business, sister-in-law Tong is not bullied. ”

"Our company would like to cooperate with you to jointly study smelting technology. Mr. Hu, look at ....... The fox's tail was exposed, thinking it was a green onion.

"Mr. Yukichi Kohata, you may not have an in-depth understanding of the Industrial Corporation."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Xingye Industry is a joint-stock company, I don't count it alone, all major matters must be approved by the board of directors, the company's smelting technology is all from Pittsburgh, the United States, and there is a confidentiality agreement.

"How much does it cost?"

"The same price, I want to think about the price at which our company buys from Pittsburgh."

"It's about 100 million dollars."

Mr. Kohata Yukichi laughed, thinking to himself who are you fooling? I recall that last month in Tokyo, representatives of the business community jointly asked the government to come forward and press for the technology of Henyep Industries. It seemed that it would be difficult to achieve his wishes, so Mr. Kohata Yukichi raised his glass to his lips and put it down.

"Mr. Hu, I have a suggestion for Shinno Co., Ltd. to send some workers to your company for internships, which is also a friendly move between Japan and China."

"Mr. Kohata Yukichi, if you want to talk about business, I suggest that it is better to talk to a professional, you can let the people from that company talk directly to Xingye Industrial, and they decide what to do, we two laymen are involved in this waste of drinking time. Today we will only talk about Fengyue and nothing else. Hu Wenkai has already given Kohata Youji enough face, and in view of the other party's age, he would have already given him a look.

"Just talk about Fengyue, only talk about Fengyue, have a drink." Kohata Yukichi was blocked there by Hu Wenkai.

The two talked about Hu Wenkai's teacher Liang Qichao's article, and "Discussion on the History of the National War" was turned out by Kohata Youji and brought to the wine table for discussion. At that time, he did not dare to hope that this article would be effective, but because the righteousness of the whole country was extinguished, no one dared to make a righteous opinion on this important matter, and the people's hearts would be dead, so regardless of the interests and life and death, he announced the hidden ears of what he wanted to say in his heart for the people of the whole country. When my text was drafted and had not yet been printed, the Yuan family had already heard about it, and asked someone to bribe me with 200,000 yuan to order me not to print it. Yu Wan thanked him and sent the document to Yuan.

This is what Liang Qichao said, and Yuan Shikai bribed him with 200,000 yuan to buy an article by Liang Qichao. This matter has been hyped up in the first half of the year, some people say that Liang Qichao is bragging, and some people insist that there is something to do.

"How many scholars like the teacher, who are learned, literate, and enthusiastic, can there be people in the world? 200,000 is not surprising, and I also have the idea of spending 400,000 yuan to buy a teacher's article. ”

"The teacher's greatest wish is a republic, and he doesn't want to have an emperor on his head. The whole society admires the teacher's political reform strategy, and he is working hard to achieve this goal. ”

"I met Mr. Liang a few times when I was in Japan, and I always regretted that I didn't have a deep friendship, and I will definitely visit Mr. Qichao, the master of the Republic of China, when I have time." Kohata Yukichi said this from the heart, and he only said it after his body tensed and sat up straight.

"Thank you for your pertinent comments on the teacher, who has a lot of thoughts during the four years of exile in Japan, Japan entered the capitalist period first, and China is still in the process of being torn apart."

"Mr. Hu, don't you always say that the Japanese bourgeoisie is not completely reformed, why do you envy Japan?"

"No matter how thorough it is, it is stronger than China, you are a whole, but we are a plate of scattered sand, and it is impossible to be substantially unified without a few decades, I think at least I will not see a country like Japan in my lifetime."

Dai Jitao, who had been silently beside him, hurriedly interjected: "Boss, you drink slowly." ”

"Mr. Hu, you are too pessimistic, I believe that everything will be fine in your country."

"Mr. Yukichi Kohata, I hope that the friendship between China and Japan will continue for generations to come, there must be no conflict, the people do not want war, and the Chinese and Japanese people will definitely join hands to move towards a beautiful spring." Hu Wenkai said as if talking to himself, stretching out his left hand.

Kohata Youkichi sat there and couldn't stretch out his hand, so he had to stand up, hold Hu Wenkai's hand, and say, "Japan and China will definitely be friendly." ”

The flash flashed, and the reporter squatted at the door taking pictures, and the angle of taking pictures happened to be that Kohata Youyoshi stood up and held Hu Wenkai's hand, and Hu Wenkai was sitting on that board seriously.

Kohata Youji suddenly realized that he pointed at Hu Wenkai and laughed: "Mr. Hu has the potential to be a diplomat. ”

"Ah, what do you mean?" Hu Wenkai pretended not to know anything.

Kohata Yukichi was stabbed, and it was not easy to dig deeper, so he had to say: "Don't talk about this, let's drink bar." ”

A calm dinner ended uneventfully, and the three of them returned to Lane 181 to sit down.

As soon as Dai Jitao sat down, he said: "Boss, I estimate that Kohata Youji made a special trip to find you for the company's technology, and seven or eight entourages should be personnel from major Japanese companies." ”

"Brother Ji Tao, the plot technique is incidental, the old devil wants to take the idea of war or peace from my mouth in the past few years, their national strength is not as strong as it seems on the surface, it has reached the point of being riddled with holes. From the 1920's onwards, their economy was in crisis, and they were so ambitious that they thought they could benefit from the Russian Far East, and who knew they were stuck in the quagmire. ”

Dai Jitao said in disbelief: "No, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Japanese economy has always been very strong." ”
