Chapter XVII. The Credibility of the Merchant

Hideki Kono was a standard Japanese officer, not tall, athletic, and full of anger on his face. Of course, this may be related to Hu Fei's prejudiced view of people.

Kono Osa thought that his wing should be hung far behind the transport convoy, and when Takahashi's transport team entered the sand ridge and saw the high-ranking generals of the volunteers, he would command the troops to launch a surprise attack and defeat the sand ridge volunteers in one fell swoop!

Takahashi reminds Kono: Don't get your troops too far away from the convoy, otherwise, if the Volunteers receive their weapons and flee quickly, you will be running for nothing! In fact, Manager Takahashi was worried about himself, he was afraid that the volunteers would cook the transport team and himself!

Kono Osa looked at Takahashi and smiled contemptuously, "Takahashi-kun, you are not a soldier, and you don't know how to march and fight!" My wing has 3,000 men, cannons and baggage, not an armed detachment of 30 people! Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your convoy and won't let those Chinese volunteers hurt you! ”

Speaking of which, of course Takahashi can't have any doubts about Kono Daisa's leadership level, "Then please take care of Kono-kun!" ”

The two of them, one a businessman and the other a professional soldier, did not have a common language, and this meeting was just a greeting to each other before departure. After saying what he had to say, Hideki Kono immediately got up and took his leave. Takahashi pretended to send people to the door of the foreign company, and the two sides waved goodbye.

During the whole meeting, Hu Fei didn't say a word except for saying hello to Hideki Kono when they first met, and he didn't say a word when the two discussed cooperation.

The reason why Hu Fei participated in this meeting was to meet Hideki Kono and hear about the number of his wing and the time for action. Now even the way Kono United's troops are arranged, this is already a windfall!

Since Kono Hideki is capable of Dazuo, he is not an idle person, only from the less than an hour of meeting, Hu Fei can feel that this Kono Dazuo is a vicious and cunning guy, he doesn't want to cause any bad associations with the other party because he said a few more words.

"Takahashi, are you only doing this one of our arms deals?" When Hideki Kono left, and only Hu Fei and Shizuji Takahashi were left in the room, Hu Fei pretended to be puzzled and asked Takahashi.

"What do you do only once?" Regarding Hu Fei's question, Takahashi was also puzzled.

"Let's transport arms to the Sand Ridge Volunteers this time, and Kono Osa will lead the army to follow, and the two of them will definitely fight when the time comes! Regardless of whether the Volunteers can be wiped out by the Kono United, they will definitely not buy our arms in the future. Aren't you a one-shot deal? ”

"This, this. But this is an order from the Kwantung Army Command! How dare I, a small manager of a foreign bank, disobey the orders of the Kwantung Army? Takahashi was embarrassed and bitter. However, this guy has the quality of a profiteer, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he remembered another way.

"Even if we don't sell weapons to Shaling, we can sell them to other volunteers! Now there are many volunteers in Manchuria, but not in Shaling, we can go to Jilin, Heilongjiang, as long as it is in Manchuria, we can do business in Japan! ”

"Takahashi, it looks like you still don't know much about China!" Hu Fei patted Takahashi's shoulder, and there was a bit of helplessness in his tone, "Chinese pay attention to doing business without deception and genuineness!" Honesty and trustworthiness are the only way to prosper. ”

"If you defraud a buyer like you, or even kill a buyer, once the word spreads, no one in the whole of China will do business with you again! Not to mention arms, even if you want to sell a radish, I'm afraid no one will dare to buy it! People are afraid that you will hurt them again! ”

Tong Suo is undeceived, genuine, and honest in business. As a profiteer who has been in the business for nearly 20 years, Takahashi Shizuji certainly knows these truths, but he forgot that after coming to China, the Japanese army was behind him.

As soon as Hu Fei reminded him, Takahashi Shizuji suddenly woke up! Yes, reputation is so important to a businessman! Once the bad reputation spreads, a business can really go bankrupt overnight! He is the manager of the foreign bank, if no one comes to the foreign bank to do business, then what will he do? Do you really want to sell a radish like Hu Fei said, you have to send an army to force people to buy it?

Thinking of this possible situation, Takahashi Shizuji shivered. Seeing that the foreign company was about to slide into the abyss through his hands, he had no good way to solve it! Manager Takahashi looked left and right, flustered, and hurriedly asked Hu Fei what to do? The arms sold to Shaling were operated by him and Hu Fei, and now that something is going to happen to the foreign bank, he can't let Hu Fei watch the joke on the side!

Hu Fei told Takahashi that he could send someone to set off one step ahead of the convoy and rush to Shaling to inform the volunteers there. Let the volunteers withdraw the brigade first, leave a small part of the men to receive the arms, and withdraw quickly after receiving the arms! Let the Kono United team that follows behind see that they can't catch up, and this is the end of it!

As for whether the Volunteers will listen to him, that's a matter for the Volunteers. Whether they retreat or not, whether they stay and fight with the Kono United, anyway, the foreign company is not dishonest. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they don't make this deal, they won't delay in making arms deals with other powerful forces in the future! Hu Fei said it was purely a whimsical and bad idea, but Takahashi still believed it! Afterwards, Hu Fei felt incredible every time he thought of this conversation, Takahashi was also a good person, how could he believe in this flawed idea?

It is estimated that Shizuji Takahashi was really frightened by the dark prospects described by Hu Fei at that time. This guy was flustered, and there was no one to talk to, so Hu Fei, who had a lot of ideas, was in front of him, so of course what Hu Fei said he believed.

As soon as Hu Fei said his idea, Takahashi was immediately overjoyed, and after nodding his head again and again, he handed over the task of going to report to the volunteers. You contacted the Volunteers in the first place, and you helped pay the money, so of course you have to go there yourself to contact them!

Hu Fei pretended to postpone it twice, and seeing that Takahashi was resolute, he gladly accepted it. However, it is possible to go, but this financial problem has to be solved by Manager Takahashi. I can't give you this leg for nothing, can I? Travel expenses, transportation expenses, food allowances, these all cost money!

This is all small money, and without saying a word, Gao Qiao took 200 yuan to Hu Fei as travel expenses. Takahashi also has an abacus in his heart, he is not afraid that you will take the money, but he is afraid that if you don't take the money, you will have to do something for me if you take the money! How did he know that Hu Fei didn't do anything after taking the money! For two hundred yuan, Hu Fei regarded it as the labor fee for Takahashi to get rid of Sato!

Before the two broke up, Takahashi was still chatting with Hu Fei, why didn't he see Sato today? If this guy comes, I don't know what he will say to Hideki Kono?
