Chapter 222: Mei Lanfang

Coming to the office, Tang Ning asked Nishikawa in a deep voice, "What does the Osaka side think about this matter?" "Because the East Asia Insurance Company was jointly established by Downing and the Osaka business group, there must be some important matters that both parties must discuss together.

Nishikawa replied: "What Mr. Sakurai means is that since this disease is not covered by the insurance policy, then we don't need to be responsible, but we can't rudely drive away the customer, so as not to cause unnecessary worries and suspicions about the insurance company among the people who don't know the truth." ”

For this answer, Tang Ning was not surprised at all, because Sakurai was a pure businessman, and his approach had no problems with the contract at all, and no one had a reason to accuse him, but Tang Ning always felt that he should do something, because although there were not many similar things in this era, he had not heard of them in later generations.

So he turned to Oyama Beida and said, "Oyama, if you ask Inujiro to come over, you will say that I have something to tell him." Then he began to inspect the insurance company, in general, the operation of the insurance company is still relatively ideal, but Tang Ning still made instructions on some weak points, such as training newcomers, to find a few salesmen with better performance to do on-site demonstration, so that newcomers can see that the hope of success is in front of them. In fact, this method has been used many times during the rat meeting, but it was all fake at that time, and this time it was true, so it is impossible to launch it at the beginning, and it can only be launched until someone succeeds.

In terms of marketing, the implementation of the old and newcomer one gang one activity, the old man leads the newcomer to open the first order, increasing the newcomer's self-confidence; In terms of underwriting, it is required to strengthen the contact with various hospitals, not to go to people when there is something, and to express it during the New Year's holidays. Give a small gift or something; Strengthen the intensity of auditing, and strictly examine the phenomenon of mixed attendance (that is, speculators who do not do business, do not go to meetings, do not participate in activities, and only mix basic salaries, well, when I was in the insurance company, I used to be a salesman of two companies, and each one got 1,000 yuan a month...... )

After dealing with the insurance company. Tang Ning came to Nishikawa Shibu's office, Inujiro was waiting there early, and as soon as he saw Tang Ning, he bowed and said, "Boss, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Tang Ning lazily lay in the boss's chair and said: "Inujiro, I know that you have two new chemical experts under your hands, this time you take them to find a few more skilled people to run to Kumamoto, focusing on checking whether there are any chemical plants, fertilizer factories, paper mills or something in the upper reaches of Minamata Bay, to see if they have discharged all the industrial wastewater into the inlet, and to test whether the quality of the river water in the lower reaches of Minamata Bay is up to standard." ”

Inujiro said with some embarrassment: "Boss." There are a few new people under my hands, and I saw that you were not feeling well in the previous paragraph, so I didn't dare to disturb you with these little things, for fear of delaying your rest. ”

Tang Ning snorted coldly: "Don't talk about those useless things, I know your little bit of caution, don't you just want to improve the product and grab the market with the Yamaguchi group, I don't care about these." It's up to you how much money you can make, but remember to give your men a little more if you earn more. Don't make your subordinates deviate, and it's absolutely forbidden to sell this kind of thing to our insiders, once I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Hearing this, Inujiro was in a cold sweat, because what Tang Ning said was right, he was just trying to make more money. Only a few geeks in the chemical industry were poached with a high salary to improve the white goods for him, and there are already some signs of success, and the improved goods are more hallucinogenic and will definitely be able to take away the market of the Yamaguchi-gumi when the time comes, but he is selfish. In addition, Tang Ning was unconscious at the time, so he didn't report the matter, for fear that the majority of the profits would be taken away by the boss, but what he didn't expect was that the boss's secret agents were really ubiquitous, and he did it so secretly, but he was still discovered by the boss, but Tang Ning didn't intend to take advantage of him, but gave him all the profits of this piece very much, and immediately thanked Dade and said: "Boss, what you said, the money I earn must be from the group, how can I take it myself." ”

Tang Ning naturally understood that this was just Inujiro's prevarication, anyway, there was no one else in the office, so he said: "Do I still need your money, so let's go according to the procedure, you hand over the money, and then I will send it to you according to the operating expenses, you just need to do things for me with your heart." ”

This time Inujiro is completely down-to-earth, so that even if this part of the profit is a regular income, others can't find fault with him, this time he finally has the heart to ponder the task assigned by Tang Ning just now, but this pondering makes him a little curious: "Boss, when will our power expand to Kumamoto?" ”

Tang Ning first explained to him about Kumamoto Minamata, and then said: "It is said that this matter is not in our hands, but I always feel that it is not too good to let go so completely, you better go for a trip, if you can find out the source of the cause, it is always a good thing, at least let these people not always surround the door of the company, let me worry." Although Inujiro felt that this was unnecessary, he still obeyed the order.

After inspecting the insurance company, the film company, the instant noodle sales company, and the Matsuda gumi headquarters, Downing planned to leave Tokyo for Kokura and Guam, but an incident suddenly occurred that caused him to stay in Tokyo.

This is a good thing, because the Chinese Peking Opera Troupe represented by Master Mei Lanfang came to Japan to perform, and the first stop was Tokyo, for this kind of good thing, Tang Ning naturally refused to miss it, although he could not understand Peking Opera very well, but he could see this master in Japan that he could only hear about in newspapers and television, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Speaking of which, this is the third time that Mei Lanfang has performed in Japan, the first time was in 1919 when he was in Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and other places to perform for a total of 17 days at the chairman of the Tokyo Imperial Theater, Okura, Kobe and other places, and presented 19 plays, among which "The Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" performed the most times and was the most popular with Japanese audiences. Mr. Mei has appeared in Tokyo for a total of 14 shows, and has received a total of 12 small paper bags, which are almost full.

In 1924, Mr. Mei led a troupe of more than 40 people to Japan for the second time. It was performed at the Tokyo National Theater for fifteen performances, the year after the Great Japanese Earthquake. In order to support the revival of the Imperial Theater, he also gave several charity performances during the performance to raise funds for the relief of the Japanese people affected by the disaster. During this period, Mei Lanfang was introduced by Kubota to the "Takarazuka" film studio to shoot the "Gun" movie in "Lian Jinfeng" and "Hauni Pass".

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Mei Lanfang, as a famous person who visited Japan twice and was deeply loved by the Japanese people, immediately became a "goodwill" target of the Japanese. They want to use Mei Lanfang to buy people's hearts and embellish peace. Mei Lanfang repeatedly refused the demands of Japanese invaders and traitors, and went to Hong Kong in 1938. He performed in Hong Kong such dramas as "Liang Hongyu" and "Anti-Jin Soldiers" to inspire people's anti-Japanese fighting spirit.

Hong Kong fell in December 1941, and Mei Lanfang returned to Shanghai, grew a beard and boycotted acting. The theater owner in Shanghai said: As long as Boss Mei is willing to appear, he will be given a hundred gold bars immediately, but Mei Lanfang is not moved by money. In the autumn of 1942, Mei Lanfang couldn't push off the fake performance, and even had three injections of typhoid vaccine and a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius before she pushed it off.
