Chapter 78: Deputy Director Ye's New Idea
Nomura Hideki was a little hesitant in the face of Li Yixin's new proposal, because he was still Japanese after all, and he was also a Japanese military officer.
Even if he had a strong desire to make money, he was hesitant in the face of such a situation, knowing that if he did, he would be accused of betraying the Japanese Empire.
The accusation of treason is something he cannot afford, and it will make his future situation extremely difficult, and if it is known to the militarists who are full of fanatical ideas, he will probably be asked to commit suicide.
Seeing that Nomura Hideki was hesitant, Li Yixin continued to persuade: "Nomura-kun, it's not that I want to do this, but we have to carefully calculate the resources in our hands. To do business, it is necessary to understand the resources in your hands and know your strengths, so as to be targeted. ”
Li Yixin paused, observed Nomura Hideki's reaction, and saw that Nomura Hideki was still silent, and continued: "At present, in this Stone City, Nomura-kun can be said to be one of the most powerful few people. So why can't we take full advantage of this to make money? In this period of war and chaos, only the money in hand can make people feel safe. ”
In the face of Li Yixin's persuasion, Nomura Hideki gradually wavered in the depths of his heart, because Li Yixin's last sentence just now was a view that he agreed with very much.
"But the problem is that once this kind of thing is done, and after the kind of Murakami Shinnosuke knows, we will all be in trouble. But I agree with you, the role of the merchant is to communicate with each other, and to circulate goods in order to make a profit. ”
Hideki Nomura is also worried that once he and Li Yixin partner to do such a thing, it will bring him a lot of trouble.
However, Li Yixin's new proposal made Nomura Hideki very heartbroken in his heart, and his heart began to struggle at this time.
Li Yixin's remarks are very reasonable, at present, when Li Yixin has no channels and connections to purchase embargoed goods and materials in the controlled areas of the Chongqing government, it seems that the only way to make money is to sell the materials embargoed by the empire to Chongqing.
Hideki Nomura didn't speak while thinking, but drank sake cup after glass, and soon the sake ordered by the two of them was drunk by him alone.
Seeing that Hideki Nomura was reluctant to express his position, Li Yixin's position also began to shrink.
He didn't expect to be able to convince Hideki Nomura just once, let alone press Hideki Nomura, and he could only adopt a temptation strategy for Hideki Nomura.
So Li Yixin said with a smile: "It seems that my proposal has embarrassed Nomura-kun, I'm really sorry." I can understand Nomura-kun's difficulty, and it seems that there is no solution to this problem now. So so be it, we really don't have any other good way. ”
"There are some problems with this, and I can't think about it for a while, so I'll think about it later. Alas...... I saw that there was an opportunity to make a lot of money, but objectively there were many difficulties. Nomura looked a little discouraged.
This was the end of the discussion between the two men, and neither of them had any interest in continuing the discussion, and soon they walked out of the restaurant and went their separate ways.
Hideki Nomura's attitude today made Li Yixin feel once again that Hideki Nomura was not so easy to take the bait, and it seemed that he had to be tempted and tempted step by step.
Of course, today Hideki Nomura can be regarded as exposing his truest thoughts in front of Li Yixin, so Li Yixin had to give up his previous expectation of quickly pulling Hideki Nomura into the water, and there is still a long way to go to truly achieve this goal.
But now that the news of Wei Jianping and Du Rui's arrest has spread among the traitors in Stone Town at this time, Li Yixin believes that the Central Unification side must have known about this situation through various channels, so if he does not report to Deputy Director Ye of the Central Unification again, it is likely to change Deputy Director Ye's impression of him.
Therefore, Li Yixin returned to his residence and had to start writing a written report to the Central Committee to gain Deputy Director Ye's favor and trust in him.
Of course, Li Yixin also vaguely mentioned in his written report that he was trying to win over a Japanese logistics officer and strive to sell some of the materials embargoed by the enemy to the Kuomintang region.
This written report was also passed on by Li Yixin to the 'bodyguard' through the dead mailbox, and that night, the report was sent back to the Central Union Headquarters by telegram, and appeared on the desk of Deputy Director Ye's desk early the next morning.
Li Yixin's plan was extremely successful, and Wei Jianping and Du Rui were successfully sent to the cells of the special high school gendarmerie.
Deputy Director Ye was very satisfied with this, because not only did the matter itself achieve the expected results, but more importantly, the price he paid to the military commander for this operation was not in vain.
Moreover, through this operation, Deputy Director Ye has also made achievements in the field of intelligence business for the first time, which can completely make Deputy Director Ye be able to speak hard in front of Deputy Director Xu, an internal competitor of the Central Committee, and also make Deputy Director Ye more valued by the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, who is also the director of the Bureau.
In a word, Deputy Director Ye at this time was very proud of his ability to win over Li Yixin to his command, and he also saw from this operation that Li Yixin's action planning ability was very strong.
This can't help but make Deputy Director Ye sigh in his heart, as a superior, one of the most important abilities is to be able to know people well, and this Li Yixin is his great discovery.
Originally, Li Yixin was not valued within the Central Unification Headquarters, and he did not show any outstanding intelligence business ability, but after being sent to the occupied area to lurk by mistake, the Central Unification received unexpected results, and the initiator of all this was Deputy Director Ye!
And Li Yixin's report also mentioned for the first time that he was co-opting and corrupting a Japanese logistics officer in Stone Town, which made Deputy Director Ye pay great attention to it.
Because of his greedy nature, he realized that if Li Yixin could sit firmly in the position of director of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Division of the Huangshan Provincial Material Control Investigation Committee and pull this Japanese officer into the water, then Li Yixin would have a greater possibility to make achievements in the future.
Whether it is private or public, Deputy Director Ye feels that in Huangshan Province, he is likely to reap more benefits.
For example, the establishment of a smuggling route from Shanghai to Chongqing would allow him to sell certain materials to the occupied areas for high profits.
Or maybe some of the materials embargoed by the Japanese army to Chongqing can be purchased and sold through this channel, which also has high profits in it, and even has a meritorious role in the war.
