Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Gilded Devil
(1st Update)
"Mr. Han, this is a loan contract, please take a look."
Oda Kiri took out the pre-prepared bank agreement from his briefcase, placed it on the table in an orderly manner, and then said.
Han Chun'er tasted the fragrant tea in her hand gracefully, and she didn't mean to talk about business at all, her eyes looked around, looking left and right, but she ignored the contract on the table.
With no negotiation experience and no negotiation rhetoric to talk about, Han Chun'er, who is a pure layman, is naturally not in a hurry to open it, he just needs to do it slowly and accurately according to the steps that Ye Kai had arranged before.
"Mr. Han, this is a loan contract, which involves the vital interests of both parties, please be sure to take a closer look." Seeing that Han Chun'er was unmoved, Xiao Tianche raised a trace of gloom on his face and pushed the contract on the table forward.
"My lord specially instructed me before he came, money is a gold-plated devil, and you have to deal with the devil slowly, I am an inferior person, although I don't understand it very well, but I also know that since it is a matter of borrowing money, I am not in a hurry for a while." Han Chun'er replied with a smile, if it were a different occasion, the gentle attitude he had always maintained would probably be mistaken for a sign of humility, and for Oda Che, the other party's words were pure scoundrels, he gritted his teeth with resentment, and even wondered if the other party really wanted to talk about business.
"Of course, I won't let Mr. Oda Kiri wait," Slowly drinking the tea in the cup, Han Chun'er picked up the contract agreement on the table with hindsight, and looked at it roughly, the reason why he hung Oda Kiri's appetite so much, to use an inappropriate metaphor to describe it, is that a kabuko who knows how to twist will sell for a high price.
"The conditions are very generous, I don't think Mr. Han has any reason to refuse." In any case, the negotiations finally entered the substantive stage, and the anger that was about to erupt in his heart was suppressed, and Oda Kiri did his best to maintain his tone and said calmly.
The content of the contract was clear and clear, the amount of the loan was 100,000 taels of silver, and the interest was almost negligible, which was a one-sided deal from any point of view.
Han Chun'er nodded, there was nothing greasy in the contract, since the original person of this agreement was Ye Kai, then the other party would not be stupid enough to play tricks in this.
"Since Mr. Han feels that there is no objection, let's sign it directly, we don't have to waste each other's time." Oda Kiri slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good!" Han Chun'er nodded again, and the contract went directly to the last page, as long as the names of both parties were signed, the agreement worth 100,000 taels would officially take effect.
Seeing that the other party did not raise any objections, Oda Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after a series of twists and turns, today's negotiations finally entered the final stage, and he happily signed the name of Yokohama Zhengjin Bank and his own name on the contract.
"Mr. Han, it's your turn." Oda Kiri motioned for the other party to sign, but he pointed his finger at the borrower's line, and then reminded: "Since Mr. Liangbi was not present in person, it is better to indicate that Mr. Liangbi is the borrower." ”
"I don't understand what Mr. Oda Kiri said." Han Chun'er just picked up the pen and put it down again, "We have discussed before, and this contract is between private individuals. ”
"That's because before, our partner was Mr. Liangbi, and Mr. Liangbi didn't come today." Regarding Han Chun'er's remarks, Oda Che then refuted: "This is the minimum business rules, Mr. Han should understand, right?" ”
"Mr. Odakiri has probably forgotten what I said before, in this room, I represent Mr. Liangbi, which means that I am the partner, doesn't what you just said count?"
Han Chun'er's words made Xiao Tian Che stunned for a moment, and he realized that he was being bypassed, he did say before that Han Chun'er could be used as a representative, but once the latter's name was written on the borrower's side, it was two completely different contracts, and this was completely contrary to the original intention before.
"No, no, no, it must be marked here that Mr. Shiliang appointed you to negotiate with us, otherwise we have the right to terminate this loan contract." Oda said with a half-threat.
Han Chun'er smiled, completely unmoved, "Mr. Oda Che forgot what I said before, we are just the spokesperson of this transaction, what they need is the hand to sign the contract, not the brain to judge right and wrong." Han Chun'er crossed her cheeks with ten fingers, and then said in a tone that seemed to be thinking about you: "Of course, you have the right to terminate this negotiation, because as you said you are the manager of the Japanese Zhengjin Bank, but one thing I will guarantee is that this will be the last negotiation between us." Han Chun'er's bland words were more aggressive than Oda Kiri's direct threats, and this monkey from Japan probably didn't know that the Chinese were best at seeing thunder in silence, and their negotiating words perfectly inherited this.
Sure enough, hearing these words that seemed to be an ultimatum, Oda Kiri's face immediately became gloomy, and he could see that his chest was constantly rising and falling, and he couldn't bear to burst out, and he couldn't let out his anger and suffocate his expression.
"How is Mr. Oda Kiri thinking about it?" Seeing this appearance, Han Chun'er almost didn't laugh, and then picked up the teacup on the table and tasted it, "Didn't I say it just now, don't be in a hurry for a while, it's Mr. Oda Kiri who has to make a decision right away, you Oriental people have always been so anxious to do business?" ”
Xiao Tian Kiri's face developed towards iron blue at a speed visible to the naked eye, he slowly raised his head, almost used all his strength to grit his teeth fiercely and said, "Then I'm very sorry, Mr. Han, I can't"
Just when he didn't spit out half of his words, the curtain behind him was lifted all of a sudden, and a person walked out quickly, dressed in formal clothes.
"Mr. Han has met again, and you look like you have a lot more city government than you did when you first met."
Han Chun'er turned his head, followed the sound and looked at it, and saw Hikoji Ijiin standing in front of the curtain, and was surprised that a wave mark on his face disappeared without a trace, and then he said without humility or arrogance: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Toyo, thank you for the compliment." ”
Ijiin Hikoyoshi ignored Han Chun'er, but turned to Oda Kiri, who was on the side, and said, "Oda-kun, I believe that working with Mr. Han is the same, don't you say?" ”
Oda was stunned, and nodded with difficulty after a long time.
"In that case, I'll sign my name, and it's a business negotiation between private individuals." With a stroke of her pen, Han Chun'er wrote her name at the end of the contract, and then said: "According to the contract, I will go to Zhengjin Bank to withdraw 100,000 taels of silver in three days, and maybe I will meet Mr. Oda Che at that time." Han Chun'er stood up with a smile and turned to leave, every word he said pierced Xiao Tian's heart like a thorn, making his breathing suddenly become rapid.
"Xiao Tianjun, I wronged you today, and the other party came prepared."
Ijiin Hikoyoshi patted Oda Kiri's shoulder, the latter's gaze was always fixed on the door where Han Chun'er disappeared, one was a bank manager, the other was a diplomatic minister, at this moment, the relationship between the two was no longer so delicate and far-fetched, if the Japanese embassy was a poisonous snake entrenched in Chinese politics, then there was no doubt that Zhengjin Bank was the two sharp fangs, but today they were splashed with their own venom.
"I don't understand, why didn't Hikoyoshi-kun terminate this agreement, what did we get, just a piece of paper?" Oda Kiri's mood did not calm down, he picked up the contract and said indignantly, in his opinion, this transaction lost everything.
"Xiao Tianjun, don't be so limited in your vision, Yuan Shikai once borrowed three million taels of silver from us, one hundred thousand taels is a small amount for us, but these are not the most critical." Ijiin Hikoyoshi turned around and explained: "We always have to put down a bet, otherwise we can only become spectators in the future gambling game, Yuan Shikai has been excluded from the hierarchy, we need to find the next person who is beneficial to us, all kinds of news show that Liangbi has great potential, and he has a background of studying in Japan, it will be easier to contact." ”
"Easy?" Oda Kiri almost smiled bitterly in his heart, just a young man next to Ryobi made him feel like a great enemy, let alone himself, he really doubted that Ijiin Hikoyoshi's vision was not good.
"There are always labor pains before the baby goes into labor, so take it easy, Oda-kun, it's not bad for us." Hikoyoshi of Ijiin comforted.
"I hope Hikoyoshi-kun's eyes are as vicious as ever."
Ijiin Hikoyoshi didn't answer again this time, since it's a gamble, there will always be wins and losses, especially when it comes to betting at the level of power, which is even more uncertain, and his confidence only exists at the level of intuition.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes met with Oda Kiri on the door, and somehow, the smile on Han Chun'er's face just now suddenly appeared in his mind, and after a while, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, such a confident and meaningful smile was like a copy of that person, and suddenly he felt that his shadow seemed to be everywhere in the air, so that Ijiin Hikoyoshi couldn't get rid of it.
"You're the gilded devil."
