Chapter 70: A Coincidental Encounter with Naoki Ono
The next day, Li Tie called the gopher and the golden rat to Huaxing Foreign Bank. In the office, Li Tie explained to the two of them what he was going to do in the next few days, although the two didn't know what Li Tie was going to do, but who let Li Tie now be in charge of half of the power of the Golden Tiger Club.
The two followed Li Tie's arrangement to make preparations. Li Tie called the thousand-tailed scorpion again and told her that he would borrow a few people from the black three in a few days. At the same time, the new action should also be discussed with the Thousand Tails Scorpion to see how the plan can be designed more perfectly.
At the same time, because the Variety Rat is proficient in many foreign languages, Li Tie just wanted to ask the Variety Rat to go abroad to help him do something. Where can the thousand-tailed scorpion disagree. Now Li Tie's words are her own words.
So the Changeling Rat, who had finally rested for a few days, embarked on a merchant ship to Europe under Mike's arrangement, and it was impossible to come back after a year and a half.
Fortunately, the Changeling Mouse has no children and no daughters, and he is a person who loves to travel, so he is not too resistant to this mission. Especially when Li Tie told the Variety Rat how white the skin is, how great the figure is, and how big the breasts are of European women.
At the same time, all the expenses in Europe were paid by Li Tie, not to mention, and when there would be a bonus of tens of thousands of silver dollars to be obtained afterwards, the Variety Rat became more righteous and elated, and promised to resolutely complete the task assigned by Li Tie.
However, the only thing that made the Variety Rat depressed was that Li Tie picked two very clever young men from the foreign company to follow the Variety Rat. Just in case he was happy to play in Europe and didn't get down to business.
Not to mention how depressed the Variety Rat was on the merchant ship bound for Europe, just said that Naoki Ono, who had just been promoted, was also depressed recently. I thought that it would be a very fashionable thing to become the spy leader in Shanghai, but who knew that it was not easy to sit in this position.
It was also two months after Ono became the head of Shanghai, as he gradually deepened into the Japanese secret service, and at the same time, he gradually became familiar with Yamato Mano's original work.
Only then did he find out that he was not the top person in charge of the Shanghai secret service, and the real person in charge was a special agency subordinate to the Japanese Intelligence Headquarters, the Yue Agency.
He is only the head of the Japanese government's spies that has been pushed to the surface, and in fact he is under the jurisdiction of the government's foreign affairs department. In other words, he is actually a target for absorbing the firepower of the Chinese and various forces.
His real task was to make money for the empire, and he was constantly dumping grain, salt, textiles, munitions, medical supplies, and all kinds of daily necessities from Japan into China.
At the same time, he is also responsible for assisting the Moon Agency in various secret operations in Shanghai, including providing intelligence, funding, and finding out information.
And that's not even counting, because Yamato Mano is also in charge of the specific business of Yamato & Co. and Yamato Bank. And although his family is a business family, Naoki Ono is a pure son.
He didn't know anything about business management. The business of the foreign bank is better, basically it is buying and selling to make the difference, and the business of the foreign bank is on the right track, and everything is naturally handled by the various managers of the foreign bank, as long as they are optimistic about these people and do not let them fill their pockets.
However, the bank's business itself does not understand at all, and even the most basic deposit interest rate is not calculated, and what is even more excessive is that the empire has sent a mission saying that since the death of Yamato Maano, the deposit business of Yamato Bank has been experiencing negative growth for three consecutive months. Let itself have to solve the problem of negative growth within a month, otherwise military law will be engaged.
"Is there any mistake? Although I am no longer in the military, I am now the head of the government's foreign intelligence department.
Although my military street is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant colonel, compared to the previous squadron leader, I have been promoted by three ranks, not to mention that this salary is more than ten times longer than before.
But what really satisfies me is the extra income from all kinds of power. These grey incomes are much higher than their own wages. No wonder they all love to be politicians, there are too many ways to make money. Compared with them, the money he earned as a soldier was worse than that of a beggar.
Naoki Ono was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of Yamato Bank today, with two managers of Yamato Bank standing beside him. But I wasn't happy at all. He has only been in Shanghai for two years, and he is not familiar with people from all walks of life in Shanghai. Where did he go to pull so much money?
Ono looked at the door of the hall boredly, if anyone can help me solve this big problem today, he is my Ono friend for life.
Ono, who had just finished swearing in his heart, suddenly noticed a group of people coming in the bank hall. The group was each dressed in a black suit with shiny sunglasses, as if they had seen it in the newspaper a while ago.
Who is coming? After thinking about it for a long time, Ono slapped his thigh. Oh, the fourth tycoon in Shanghai, the general manager of Huaxing Foreign Bank, Li Tie, who is known as the God of Wealth in Hong Kong.
Just a few days ago, Li Tie sent a group of teachers and students from Tongji University to a cargo ship bound for Hong Kong with a batch of arms. Now that all the businesses of Huaxing Foreign Bank are on the right track, the Zhantang disciples of the Golden Tiger Club have also been sent to the mountains for special training.
The 500 foreign escorts also have the rudiments of the German regular army, and now Li Tie can gain a foothold in Shanghai without relying on the Axe Gang.
Also a few days ago, the gopher brought back the distribution map of Shanghai's underground pipe network that he wanted. There were also more than a dozen gopher brothers, and now they are quietly connecting the underground pipelines according to their own requirements.
I came to Yamato Bank this time, just to find out. After all, Yamato and Daiwa Bank were Japan's intelligence hubs in Shanghai. There are some secrets that no one else knows.
In my previous life, I happened to see the revelation of some of the things that Japan did in Shanghai during the Republic of China, which mentioned that there are many banks opened in Japan that others do not know about, as Japan's largest intelligence station in Shanghai. Li Tie believes that he will definitely gain a lot here.
At the same time, because he met Yamato Liangtian in the Du Mansion a few days ago, who knows if this kid is thinking about how to deal with himself in the dark? Therefore, Li Tiecai plans to take the first step and disturb the sight of the Japanese.
Li Tie and his entourage walked into the hall and sat down on the sofa on the side of the hall. Without his greeting, the golden rat dressed as a follower took out a beautiful blue and white teacup from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty from the bag he was carrying.
He took out a small package of high-quality red robes from his bag, gently poured the tea leaves into the teacup, and the gopher dressed as a housekeeper on the side had already taken the hot water provided by the bank and made a good cup of tea for Li Tie.
Li Tie crossed Erlang's legs, and behind him stood Wang Qi and Hei San. The Shanghai citizens who were handling business in the hall threw curious glances at Li Tie. It's the first time I've seen such a stylish young man.
Li Tie was wearing sunglasses and was carefully inspecting the hall, he didn't expect to buy more than a dozen pairs of sunglasses for fun, and today it even played a role in hiding their scouting eyes, what a mistake.
Li Tie, who was looking at it intently, suddenly saw a big smiling face appear in his sunglasses. Li Tie was startled, hurriedly took off his sunglasses, and found a handsome young man in his twenties standing in front of him with a smile on his face.
"May I ask who you are?" Li Tie asked the other party curiously.
"Ah, forgive me for taking the liberty of it. I am the general manager of this bank and my name is Naoki Ono. If I'm not mistaken, you are Li Tie, the general manager of Huaxing Foreign Bank, who has recently become famous all over Shanghai, Li Sang. I don't know if I'm right? ”
When I heard this, I introduced myself as the general manager of Daiwa Bank. Li Tie didn't know that the general manager of Yamato Bank had always been done by Yamato Mano before.
Who is Yamato Mano, Li Tie knows it clearly, so it is inferred that the true identity of the person in front of him is about to be revealed.
But looking at the expression of the man in front of him, it really didn't look like he had been trained as a regular spy. At the very least, you shouldn't be able to show me what you want me to look like when you come up. Li Tie thought to himself, just to explore the depth of this small field.
"Yes, I'm Li Tie, I don't know what you're looking for me?"
"Oh, no, my Li Sang, didn't you come to our Daiwa Bank to handle some business? As the general manager of this bank, I have met such a distinguished customer as you, and of course I will personally serve you. If you have any advice, please take care of it. After Ono finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Tie.
Li Tie hurriedly explained: "Ah, Ono-kun, you misunderstood. I was tired from walking outside just now. I just want to borrow a place from your bank to take a break. ”
"Ah, haha, Li Sang is really joking, you are now worth tens of millions of dollars. Where do you have time to wander around? Don't lie to me, Li Sang. Do you have any concerns about our Daiwa Bank.
Rest assured, I am now the full head of Daiwa Bank, and as long as it is our Daiwa Bank, I can call the shots. I just hope that you will take care of our business at Daiwa Bank.
I don't know which bank you usually do business with? As long as you can come to our Daiwa Bank, I can give you the best price. If you come to make a deposit, I can also give you the highest interest rate. It will definitely make you a lot of money. ”
Naoki Ono was also forced by the Imperial Intelligence Department, and when he saw Li Tie, the big financier, where could he still be spared?
"Well, my foreign bank's business is mainly in the United States, Citibank. I haven't really done any business with you. I've had a few treasures lately, and I'd like to find a bank to keep them.
I was going to be at Citibank, but I wasn't very satisfied with their valuables insurance policy, and I wasn't very satisfied with their security system, so I didn't immediately stay with them, and I was going to visit several other foreign banks. ”
"Oh, why waste time at other banks? Why don't you take a look at our Daiwa Bank? Our Yamato nation is a well-known nation that is serious and rigorous, so why don't I take you to my vault to have a look, I believe you will be satisfied. ”
"Oh, and this good thing, then I'll go and see it." Li Tie didn't expect that there would be a reason to enter the vault so easily, and he didn't drink any more tea, so he got up and took everyone to the vault to have a look.
Ono said with an embarrassed face, you can only go to see it alone, and these bodyguards of yours can't follow up.
Li Tie thought about it for a while: "That's it, the bodyguards are all outside, and I'll take my old housekeeper and the scholar in." Don't bring anything superfluous. ”
Ono looked at the skinny golden mouse, and then at the old gopher. Reassured, he took four heavily armed guards and led the two managers to the bank's vault.
