"I have been thinking about the business of Jianzhong Trading Company for a long time, and from the perspective of the current operation of the company, it is really not ideal. According to the policy of the Great Japanese Empire, the business that our Chinese companies were allowed to operate was basically unprofitable, and now the Jianzhong Trading Company can only be regarded as barely maintaining, and there is no profit at all. Li Yixin said with some discouragement.

He is further testing Hideki Nomura to see if Hideki Nomura will think of doing business with prohibited materials.

Because the reality in Stone Town is that if a Chinese company wants to make money, it has to be involved in this kind of business.

Nomura Hideki also knew this truth, he saw that Li Yixin was a little discouraged, and hurriedly said to Li Yixin: "Li Sang, I also know a little bit about the situation you said, and I should have a way to do it." Today we are classmates, and I can talk to you here about my thoughts. Of course, I won't admit that I came up with these ideas when I leave here. ”

"Oh? Does Nomura-kun have a way? Let's hear about it. Li Yixin immediately leaned forward, stared at the other party, made a very interested look, and said while the iron was hot.

Li Yixin was trying to trick Hideki Nomura into speaking his mind, because in this way he could observe whether Hideki Nomura was really determined to do that kind of highly lucrative business of prohibited materials.

And even if there is something wrong in the business in the future, he can infer that Hideki Nomura wants to do it, and he has no way to refuse.

"Li Sang, you are also a top student in the business department of Waseda University, you should know that doing business is bound to be risky. And the greater the risk of a business, then its return will also be high, you should understand this truth. ”

Hideki Nomura deliberately sold a pass, but his words were already suggesting that Li Yixin was doing some business that went against the policies of the empire.

Li Yixin understood that the time had come for him to pretend to be confused, so he deliberately frowned and said, "Why can't I understand what Nomura-kun meant?" It's better to ask Nomura-kun to be more detailed, otherwise I'm a little puzzled in my heart. ”

"Hahahaha, Li Sang, why don't I think you're the high-achieving student I know with a keen sense of smell in business? What's incomprehensible about this? I'll just put it bluntly, we can do some very in-demand supplies on the market and buy *** such as the very few things that are now in small quantities in the occupied territories of the Empire. And this kind of thing may be in the control area of the Chongqing city government, as long as you have such a source, I believe you will definitely make a lot of money. And even if it was Murakami-kun, they would have the green light if they knew about it. Nomura Hideki laughed, but looked down at Li Yixin in his heart.

This Li Yixin is simply an elm head, with a rigid mind, but it is very similar to Shinnosuke Murakami, who is full of only the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia and the imperial holy war, no wonder Li Yixin's development after returning to China is so unsmooth.

What exactly does this Hideki Nomura mean?

Li Yixin found that he seemed to be a little confused about this old classmate, because Hideki Nomura didn't say what he wanted to hear.

Maybe Hideki Nomura still has some concerns, after all, he is an officer of the Japanese army, even if he wants to make money, maybe out of security considerations, he still stands on the side of Japan, and only wants to purchase some scarce materials from the national control area that cannot be bought in the occupied areas to serve the Japanese army.

Of course, Li Yixin will never agree to such an idea, if he really does such a business according to Hideki Nomura's idea, it is an act of disguised capital enemy, and Li Yixin will never do it.

Therefore, Li Yixin made a distressed look and said: "Nomura-kun, you are embarrassed for me!" Not to mention whether I have the ability and connections to go to the Chongqing government-controlled area to purchase these materials, my current status alone makes it impossible for such a thing to succeed. You know, I am now the head of the anti-smuggling investigation department of the Huangshan Provincial Material Control Investigation Committee in Nanjing, and such an identity is defined as a traitor in Chongqing, and everyone can be punished. It's a must-have idea, and I want to live a few more years. ”

"You're worried about that, aren't you? Who in Chongqing can know that you are the boss behind this Jianzhong Trading Company? Besides, we can do this kind of business through intermediaries, and even Jianzhong Trading Company does not need to come forward directly. Nomura shook his head and continued to hold on to his thoughts.

Li Yixin raised his glass, clinked glasses with Hideki Nomura and drank another glass of sake, and then said: "I have left the mainland for Hong Kong for a while, and now there is no such channel and relationship to contact Chongqing. What can I do? Moreover, since you want to purchase the materials that Chongqing has embargoed to us, you don't have a strong background in Chongqing, and no one dares to trade with you at all. And if I'm really looking for a relationship, I guess those people will put more obstacles in the way of such a transaction. ”

Hearing Li Yixin's statement, Hideki Nomura was also a little discouraged and disappointed.

He suddenly began to fall silent, and for the first time doubted his idea of deciding to partner with Li Yixin to do business, whether this decision was wrong.

Seeing Hideki Nomura's reticency, Li Yixin also felt that his rejection of Hideki Nomura's vision today might make his old classmate begin to retreat.

And he didn't want to see such a thing happen, which was contrary to his purpose, Li Yixin had always wanted to pull Hideki Nomura into the water.

Therefore, Li Yixin pretended to think about it for a while, and proposed to Nomura Hideki: "Nomura-kun, your thinking just now has inspired me a little. I now have a new idea that might make the business prosperous, but I don't know if to talk about it. ”

“…… Well? Li Sang said, come and listen, I'm curious if you have any new ideas now? Nomura Hideki's interest was immediately aroused, and he hurriedly asked.

Facing Hideki Nomura, who was a little anxious, Li Yixin smiled and said: "Actually, Nomura-kun's idea is very good, and only by doing that kind of tight material transaction can you make a lot of money." However, Nomura-kun's proposal just now only envisages purchasing from the control area of Chongqing, and the essence of the merchant is to let the materials circulate and communicate with each other. So I thought that if we could also sell some of the goods and goods that were embargoed from the Nanking government-controlled areas to the Chongqing-controlled areas, then this kind of business would be able to be done. ”

Li Yixin is like a devil full of temptation at this time, constantly instilling some of his ideas into Hideki Nomura to induce Hideki Nomura to agree to such a deal.

"Hmm...... Li Sang, this idea of yours is a bit ...... In other words, it may be a bit contrary to the established policies of the Great Japanese Empire. I need to think about this. ”
