Chapter 21: Suspicion
"You go and sue Sù Jansson, and say that I plan to talk to him about the next transaction." Hu Fei pointed to the devil with his hand.
The artillery and shells were not directly purchased by Hu Fei from the devils, he bought them from Dean Mitsubishi & Co. Although everyone knows that the devils in military uniforms on the other side are the real owners of these arms, Hu Fei's trading partner can only be foreign companies. Don't say that the devil doesn't admit it, even Hu Fei himself can't admit that he bought a cannon from the devil. This is a matter of principle.
If Party A and Party B are divided, the foreign bank is Party A, and of course their people must be present during the transaction, and Yang Song, the business manager of the foreign bank, and the section chief named Hosokawa are standing on the devil's side. Hu Fei planned to take advantage of the presence of the principal on the devil's side to directly ask about the possibility of buying the next war horse.
Mulati has a lot of brains, and as soon as he heard Hu Fei's words, he knew what the boss meant. Without saying a word, he took two people and went to the devil's side.
Hu Fei looked at Mulati's back, thinking in his heart how much the devil's war horse would cost, and how much he would have to buy if he bought it.
The two sides were not far away, and after being briefed, Murat met with Yang Song, the business manager of the foreign bank. As soon as Hu Fei said what he meant, Yang Song immediately understood that this was Hu Fei's liking for this kind of business. Wow, the more you buy, the more I earn!
Yang Song will definitely not be able to make the decision on the purchase of military supplies, and the only one who really has the right to decide is the Japanese army. Yang Song himself is not suitable to talk to Nishiyama Daisa, but there is not that Hosokawa next to him, this guy is also a purebred Japanese. Yang Song rolled his eyes, pulled Hosokawa and walked away a few steps, and muttered in his ears.
That roughly means that there is still interest in making another deal over there, do you think we will make this money or not? If you want to make money, you'll have to ask Nishiyama what Daisa means.
Is there money to be made? Of course you have to earn it! Since Hosokawa is the section leader in the foreign bank, he must have the intention of making money, otherwise wouldn't it be better to go directly to the army and mix with an official and a half-job? After listening to Yang Song's words, Section Chief Hosokawa turned around and went to Nishiyama Fukutaro Osaku for advice.
After the two devils stood there and muttered and pointed and talked secretly, Section Chief Hosokawa came over with a smile on his face and told Manager Sù Yang Song that Nishiyama Daisa wanted to know the details of the next transaction, so that he could go back to discuss it and then give a definite message. That is to say, there is a door!
As long as the military has the intention of trading, the foreign bank can take the entrustment of this transaction in its hands. Section Chief Hosokawa and Manager Yang Song will also have money to make! The two profiteers looked at each other and smiled.
Now that the matter has come to an eyebrow, Yang Song naturally wants to personally accompany Murati to come over and chat with Hu Fei. In fact, there is nothing to talk about, Hu Fei just told him: I want to buy a Japanese war horse, you go and ask him if he sells it? If you sell it, you will have less money? How much can it sell?
That's a purely technical problem. Here is a list of products to buy, do you have any goods there? How many goods? What price? This is a question that you must be aware of as a buyer. Yang Song got the commission from here, turned around and hurried back to deliver a message to Hosokawa. Hosokawa, and then go and tell the intention of this side to sù Nishiyama Osa.
Nishiyama Dazuo has anything to explain to the buyer, and he will tell the head of Hosokawa, and then Yang Song will send a message to Hu Fei. The two sides passed around like this, but Yang Song, who was the only one who needed to run errands on both sides, didn't feel any grievances at all. What's the point of having money to make and running some legs?
Fukutaro Nishiyama doesn't like to talk about things in this way, but in the current situation, he has to use this way of talking. Not to mention the adverse effects of private contact between high-ranking officers of the two hostile sides, it is not suitable for him to go to Hu Fei for an interview as long as Section Chief Hosokawa and Manager Yang Song are present. Otherwise, there will be a suspicion of abandoning Mitsubishi and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!
Mitsubishi & Co. is the dispatch agency of Mitsubishi Corporation in China, and the strength of Mitsubishi Corporation and its influence in the Japanese military are by no means something that a small chief of staff of a division or regiment can afford to offend. Because of these reasons, although he is not used to this way of communication, Nishiyama Osa can only endure it.
Hu Fei wanted to buy military horses, Xishan Dazuo really didn't dare to make the decision, he was just the person in charge of the cannon and cannonball transaction, and he had no right to decide on the sale of military horses. However, if he can't decide what to say, he can bring it. As for where to take it, that's his business, all Hu Fei can do is wait for news.
The deal lasted from the morning until the sun went down, and the two sides had lunch in between, so that the matter was finally settled before dark.
After the transaction is completed, there is no politeness and joy after the ordinary businessman has finished the transaction, and there is only vigilance on both sides, deep vigilance. The muzzle of the gun was at the muzzle, the eyes were staring, and he almost stepped back without shouting one, two, three.
In fact, Hu Fei had the intention to give the devil a black and black, but considering the next transaction of military horses, he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart and slowly retreated with the cannon he bought. On the devil's side, Nishiyama Dazuo didn't want to calculate Hu Fei. The 101st Division is about to be disbanded, and it won't be useful for him to get those cannons back. His Excellency Dazuo has to guard against Hu Fei's rebellion!
Commander Okamura published many issues of articles exposing Hu Fei in the newspaper, which others would not necessarily pay attention to, but Fukutaro Nishiyama, who was the chief of staff of the division, would certainly have to study it carefully. This Hu Fei is not only his enemy, but also his trading partner, how can he gain the upper hand in the business field if he does not carefully figure out this person's personality and work characteristics?
It was precisely because of a certain understanding of Hu Fei's past experience that Nishiyama Dazuo was not surprised by the request of this transaction partner to buy military horses. A master who can't help Okamura Ningji, it's not strange to buy anything, the only thing to pay attention to is not to be hacked by him. You know, this guy used to be a bandit!
If it weren't for the articles that Okamura Ninji published in the newspaper, perhaps this military horse trade would be the same as the cannon trade, choosing an open occasion to pay for the money and deliver the goods with the other. The buyer and seller were not pleasant, but the transaction was completed smoothly.
But when General Okamura said that Hu Fei's character was so unbearable, the commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, of course, was full of doubts about the next military horse transaction, and he was afraid that Hu Fei would hack his military horse and not give money! This kind of work seems to be done often by bandits. Don't buy and sell, right? Masaki Ito is reluctant to make a huge profit. What to do?
Lieutenant General Ito thought about it, and finally came up with a compromise: payment and delivery could be done separately. The Japanese army kept the military horses in captivity somewhere in advance, and Hu Fei could let people come to see them. If this is the case, bring the money to another place to pay. There are wireless telephones on both sides, and when the time comes, the money will be received on that side, and the military horses can be delivered here.
