Sometimes it's hard to be unconvinced by other people.

Zhang Xiaobao encountered such a situation at this moment, except for Wang Juan, who was chatting with several women next to him, with a trusting expression, Junichiro Takeshita, including the three people from the Ministry of Industry, was not willing to admit from the bottom of his heart that Zhang Xiaobao really wanted to help Japan.

"Takeshita-kun, what I said is all sincere, really, you should believe me, before coming, I understand, other people are unwilling to accept you, many times, today's wine is invited by you, right?"

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Junichiro Takeshita sincerely, picked up a full glass of wine, and gestured for a toast.

Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived, Junichiro Takeshita had drunk a lot of wine with the people from the three engineering departments, although the wine was not too strong when drinking, and it was sweet, but the stamina was there.

After two glasses in a row, the wine he drank before had already begun to have an effect, especially when he was struggling to guess the truth of Zhang Xiaobao's words, Junichiro Takeshita had a feeling of wanting to sleep, his eyes were half-narrowed, he held the cup in one hand, and pinched his thigh with the other hand.

Gritted his teeth and poured the wine into his throat, turned it up again, forced it not to spit it out, his eyes were red, his hands trembled slightly, he picked up a chopstick head and mixed cucumber, stuffed it into his mouth, pressed it, and then let out a sigh.

looked up at Zhang Xiaobao, who was looking at him with a concerned face, and said, "It's okay, I think they have a hard time." ”

Junichiro Takeshita didn't dare to say anything offensive to the people of the Ministry of Industry, so in order to show that he thought so in his heart, he smiled at the three people of the Ministry of Industry.

How can the three people in the Ministry of Industry have the leisure to manage Junichiro Takeshita, their minds are all on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and today for the first time, I found out for the first time, how can Wang Juan be so beautiful, he wants to have a figure, he wants to have a look, he wants to have a temperament, and he doesn't look like a murderous person.

As for Zhang Xiaobao, it seems that he has deliberately dressed up today, attracting the girls around him to glance at him from time to time, but no one dares to talk closer.

The three people of the Ministry of Industry are headed by one of them, that is, the same official as Li Bai, the six products, he took the other two people to sit there honestly and accompany, Zhang Xiaobao took the cup, and they drank with him, they were not so afraid of Zhang Zhong, even if Zhang Zhong was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it was a big deal to find someone to change the department, they were afraid of Xiaobei, worried that they would offend Zhang Xiaobao verbally, Zhang Xiaobao was generous, and Xiaobei knew that it was unreasonable.

Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said, "Indeed, the matter is a little bigger, and ordinary people dare not agree, but ...... Now that I have met, in line with the friendly relations between the Japanese subject country and my Datang, how can I help, how many steamships does Takeshita-kun want to rent, how many gunboats? ”

"Uh~ Zhang Gongzi, I just thought about it so abruptly, I haven't decided yet, and I'll go back to someone to discuss it, so that I can come up with a specific number, maybe it will not be rented in the end."

Junichiro Takeshita really didn't dare to agree, change someone, not Zhang Xiaobao, he agreed early, of course, the more boats that can be rented, the better, in the face of Zhang Xiaobao, he thought of Yamamoto, remembered the mountain temple, and remembered the wind bridge.

The three of them were all ambitious when they came to Datang, but they met Zhang Xiaobao, and they fell into the sand one by one, especially Shiji Kazahashi, who planned to do it, no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't think of a way to crack it, what is the structure? It's all in.

It was a million dollars of sulfur and silver, and now the price of garlic is still so stable, and the garlic sprouts are selling well, and there is sweet garlic, and Silla is joining in the fun, and I don't know how much I will lose in the end.

"It's okay, it's right to go back and find more people to think about, you must not blindly rent steam engine ships and gunboats, especially gunboats, even if you rent them, you won't let others go up, it's just a form of hire to help fight, it costs a lot of money, the distance of sailing, the degree of suffering of supplies, and the wear and tear of artillery and shells when fighting."

Zhang Xiaobao agreed, turned his head and instructed the three people of the Ministry of Industry, "Don't always think about the secrecy of the Ministry of Industry in the future, keep it secret when you should keep it secret, make money when you should make money, go out, seek new development, and if someone looks for you, you can take it to the Ministry of Industry for research and research."

Who is renting and not renting? There is no difference between leasing to Silla and leasing to Japan, but as long as it is leased, it can only be leased to one side, so as not to lose our ships, especially gunboats, when there is friction at sea, we can't rent both sides, otherwise wouldn't it be someone else's money and we would kill each other? ”

All three of them should be.

Zhang Xiaobao no longer persuaded others to drink, drained the wine himself, stood up and smiled politely at Junichiro Takeshita, and said to Wang Juan: "Juanjuan, let's go back." ”

"Oh, drunk sister, let's talk about it when I have time, the new perfume of Shuiyun Group, remember not to use it casually, everyone's skin is different, you have to choose the right one, the high price may not be good for yourself."

Wang Juan agreed, and reluctantly explained the choice of new perfume to Hanzui, and asked Hanzui to ask her about the jasmine fragrance on her body, and then picked up Zhang Xiaobao and walked out under the starry gaze of several girls.

When he walked out for more than ten steps, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly turned around and said to the people from the three Ministry of Industry: "I just remembered something, the Ministry of Industry can develop a few things, suitable for navigation, just use steam engine ships to generate electricity, it is best to set up a separate department, and find my businessmen in Datang to discuss the matter of rental, so that they can go farther and bring back more valuable goods." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll write it down." The head of the Ministry of Works nodded vigorously as he got up to see him off.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked out, they all said to Junichiro Takeshita: "It's not too early, the three of us should go back, and we will talk about it next time." ”

After saying that, the three of them also left.

Junichiro Takeshita sat there, confused and distressed, the things that he couldn't ask for were suddenly sent to the door, but he didn't dare to accept it, what did Zhang Xiaobao mean?

Wang Juan, who went out, was also puzzled, got into the carriage, and asked while making tea for Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you say it directly, people who know you, no one will agree, I'm afraid, what do you plan?" ”

"Let me kiss it and I'll tell you." Zhang Xiaobao leaned over with a smile.

"A mouthful of wine, no." Wang Juan hid to the side.

"Then don't talk about it."

"Count the moon yourself at night."

"Then I'll tell you more about it in the evening."

"Let's start with that."

"Well, this time I didn't expect the Japanese to rent at all, and I will raise the price after they have suffered a loss, and it is not easy for the Silla people, let them make a profit." Zhang Xiaobao showed a compassionate expression again.
