Chapter 8: Hu Fei's Idea
Manager Takahashi is actually a man with a deep background, his father was a student of former Japanese Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi, and once served in the Japanese government. On May 15, 1932, Inukai was shot dead by 11 radical Japanese officers in the Prime Minister's residence. The prime minister was assassinated, Takahashi's father resigned, and even Takahashi's position in the foreign company was affected and deteriorated.
Sato, the deputy manager, and Okamura Ninji, who was the deputy chief of the general staff of the Kwantung Army at the time, were fellow villagers, and they were not only from Tokyo, but also from the four Sakamachi in Tokyo. It is said that his father also knew General Gangmura. With this relationship, coupled with the fact that Manager Takahashi's biggest backstage is no longer there, Sato is pointing out the east and west within the foreign bank, showing his strength, and it is also called reform.
said that it was a reform, but in fact, it was just to pull down the people close to Takahashi from important posts and replace them with people who he himself was optimistic about, which was a clear attempt to seize power! If Takahashi had self-knowledge, he would have given up his position as manager and returned to China honestly. But isn't Takahashi reluctant?
Although the foreign bank is inextricably linked with the military, it is not the army in the end, and the foreign bank is still a commercial organization after all. Takahashi works as a manager in a foreign bank, and he makes a lot of money every month, and if he goes back to China to be a common man, he will immediately have to eat his old book!
Sato has the gold-lettered signboard of Okamura Ningji, plus he has money in his pocket as the deputy manager of a foreign bank, and he is a leading cadre in Mukden City who has made friends with the military and political circles, and Suzuki Osa is the real power officer of Mukden City that he has only recently hooked up with.
Suzuki was the wing captain of the garrison of Mukden Castle and had military power in his hands. Sato brought Suzuki Osa over today to force the palace. Just now when they were eating in the private room, Manager Takahashi was forced to give up the real power position of a foreign company, which was just unlucky, sulking, and drinking.
When people are most frustrated and bored, if a stranger they don't know comes to listen to him, talk to him, and drink with him, the depression in his heart will be relieved a lot. Takahashi is certainly no exception.
Manager Takahashi is not a soldier, and he does not have as much vigilance as a soldier, although he feels abrupt about the sudden appearance of Hu Fei, he does not have too much rejection. Coupled with the fact that he drank too much, his judgment was even more unclear as soon as the alcohol came up.
Hu Fei came up and talked to Takahashi, first stunned Takahashi, and then turned to the foreign bank step by step. Sure enough, before he could ask carefully, Takahashi poured bitter water on Hu Fei as if he had found an organization. told Hu Fei everything he had encountered during this period of time, the depression and hesitation in his heart, and all of it.
"I think I'd better go back to Japan as soon as possible, there is no place for me in Manchuria." After saying everything in his heart, Takahashi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his mind seemed to be a little clearer. The big complaint just now also analyzed the current situation clearly, Takahashi Zhilu said that he couldn't fight Sato, and he planned to return to China to retire in frustration.
He wants to retire, but Hu Fei won't let him! finally found an opportunity to catch up with this foreign bank manager, how could Hu Fei let him return to China to retire casually?
"Mr. Takahashi, don't be discouraged. In a person's life, there will always be all kinds of twists and turns and tribulations. Only by overcoming these trials again and again can your life not be wasted! Hu Fei told Takahashi about the value of life like a philosopher, "Actually, what you said is not a big problem, I have an excellent way here to help you quickly restore your previous status!" ”
"What?" Takahashi suddenly looked at Hu Fei with wide eyes, but then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's impossible, Sato is not something I can deal with." Thank you for your relief, I feel much better now. ”
Takahashi thought that Hu Fei was enlightening him. In fact, if it weren't for his usefulness and wanting to pull him up to do things for himself, Hu Fei would have taken care of him, a down-and-out devil? If you don't kill him with a knife, even if the ancestor of his Takahashi manager has accumulated virtue.
"How is it not possible? Cheer up, Takahashi! Aren't you now without a backstage, and you can't get involved in the business development of foreign banks? I've got a way! However, there is a premise for the implementation of this method, that is, it must not be linked to politics and the military. We are businessmen, and everything is in the interests of businessmen! Can you do that? ”
Hu Fei was full of smiles, staring at Gao Qiao with bright eyes, like a trafficker who coaxed children with sugar gourds.
Takahashi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Hu Fei's expression at the moment, he only felt that the other party was really trying to help him solve his problems! After thinking about it for a while, Takahashi and Hu Fei looked at each other again, and there was already a bit of perseverance in their eyes, "I can do it!" Hey? Do you know that my name is Takahashi? Where did you know that I was the manager of a foreign bank? ”
If you don't talk about drinking and making mistakes, people are slow to react when they drink alcohol. The two of them had been sitting together drinking and talking for so long, and it was only now that Takahashi remembered that he didn't know the name of the person on the other side of the road.
"My surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Fei." In terms of name, Hu Fei did not intend to hide it from the other party.
"Oh, it turned out to be Hu Jun."
The notice posted at the gate of the city only introduced Hu Bandit Mantianfei, and did not say that Mantianfei was Hu Fei. Someone said, "Isn't there a portrait at the gate of the city?" Not to mention a portrait, even if it is a photo of a real person, it is not an expert who identifies it with an instrument, and ordinary people cannot recognize people by looking at the photo with the naked eye.
Takahashi has been focusing all his thoughts on the struggle for power and profit of foreign companies for this period of time, and there are wanted notices at the city gate every day, how can he have the time to see that? Don't say he hasn't seen it, even if he does, he can't remember it!
After the two of them know each other's names, they are officially acquainted. The solution provided by Hu Fei to Takahashi is an arms deal! He was in charge of contacting buyers, and Takahashi was in charge of dealing with weapons and ammunition. Taking advantage of the fact that he still has a little influence in the foreign bank, and there are a group of obedient people under him, it is not too difficult to do this!
Smuggled arms, you have money on hand! If you have money, you can buy the high-rise. As long as he buys off a high-level executive, isn't his position as a manager solid?
For example, he gave a generous gift to the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nobuyoshi Muto, and paid a tribute to the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Kuniaki Koiso. As long as you can get involved with those two, you won't be afraid of Okamura Ninji, the deputy chief of staff. Besides, whether General Gangmura will help Deputy Manager Sato speak is still a matter of words, that guy is just pulling a tiger skin to make a banner now!
You are the manager, he is the deputy manager, you are born to suppress him from the position, why should you be afraid of him?
Hu Fei said, and Takahashi nodded. Hearing the happy place, he didn't need Hu Fei to say hello, this old boy took the initiative to pour himself a glass of wine and poured it into his stomach. As Hu Fei's speech lengthened, Takahashi changed his depressed expression just now. This guy is two-eyed and bright!
As he spoke, Hu Fei suddenly stopped talking.
