Matsuda Yoshiko frowned and asked, "Captain, I didn't understand what you said!" ”

Tang Ning took a sip of tea, and then explained: "Actually, this is very understandable, that is, I appreciate you as a person, and I welcome you infinitely, but I am not interested in the Matsuda group. ”

Tang Ning's words made Matsuda Yoshiko somewhat surprised, she thought that Tang Ning wanted to incorporate her own Matsuda Group, so she took the initiative to visit, because she felt that the Matsuda Group at the peak of its current strength was her biggest capital, but now Tang Ning actually said that as long as she was herself, she didn't want Matsuda Group, which couldn't help but make her have some not very good associations, and said with a little hesitation: "Eh, Mr. Captain, in fact, we have a lot of beautiful girls in Matsuda Group, whether it is Miyuki's type or Miss Han's type, you can find a few, And I'm a little older after all, so ......"

Tang Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard Matsuda Yoshiko's words, and said: "Ms. Matsuda, you think too much, with my current identity and status, as long as I want, there will be countless girls who are willing to recommend their pillows, and there are many men who will willingly send their daughters, sisters and even wives to my bed, so I don't need to force people."

When I say admiring you, I mean appreciating your abilities, your management skills and your decisiveness and calmness, not your body, and of course, Ms. Matsuda, you are indeed a very beautiful and very moving beauty, so please do not worry about this kind of unwarranted worry. ”

Downing's explanation made Matsuda Yoshiko's expression relaxed, but she was still a little embarrassed and said: "It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but I'm still curious, why don't you want the Matsuda group, after all, the Matsuda group is now the largest violent society in Tokyo, and it is much easier to take over the Matsuda group than to rebuild another team." ”

Tang Ning stretched out a finger and replied: "The answer is very simple, first, there are too many people in the Matsuda group, and I don't need so many violent thugs; The second is that the people in the Matsuda Group are too mixed, I can't believe it, I believe that even Matsuda Lady you don't have complete control over all the forces in the Matsuda Group, right? ”

Tang Ning's words made Matsuda Yoshiko unable to refute, because although she is now famous, she has not completely kneaded the various forces within the Matsuda Group, in fact, not only her, but also Matsuda Yoshio was not fully controlled when he was there, the reason is just like Tang Ning said, there are too many people in the Matsuda Group and too miscellaneous, the quality of the members is uneven, and the team leaders are not convinced by each other, which is also a reason why she wants to lead the Matsuda Group to join Tang Ning, it is too tiring to intrigue all day, so she thought about it for a while, He added, "Captain, I admit that the Matsuda Group does have some minor problems, but I believe that with your prestige and status, you will definitely be able to suppress them. ”

Downing shrugged and replied, "It's a pity that I'm not interested in transforming an existing mature team, and it's more reassuring for me to be a brand new team with only one imprint." In fact, in Tang Ning's heart, he didn't look at the Matsuda Group, which is known as the dominant Tokyo, and in the future, the three major violent societies in Japan, in addition to the Yamaguchi-gumi are still small-scale, the Sumiyoshikai and the Inagawa gumi have no shadow now, and the Yamaguchi-gumi is only limited to Kobe at the moment, so there is no need to incorporate the existing clubs, and it is more assured to establish them themselves.

The two chatted for a while, and Matsuda Yoshiko saw that she couldn't make Tang Ning change her mind, so she had to leave, and Tang Ning reiterated the sentence when sending her off: "As long as you are willing to sincerely go to me, my door here will always be open for you." Tang Ning's words were true, because in his memory, it seemed that Matsuda Yoshiko's final fate was very miserable, and he really appreciated this woman's ability, so he still wanted to help her.

In the following time, Downing focused on the search and repair of related equipment, because at this time, the U.S. military not only imposed an economic blockade on Japan, but also implemented scientific and technological suppression, especially in the early days of stationing, the U.S. military used the pretext of destroying "war-related" facilities to destroy Japan's high-tech equipment, the most famous is that in November 1945, the U.S. military cut the cyclotron particle accelerator of the Tokyo Institute of Physics and Chemistry with a blowtorch, and then threw the wreckage into Tokyo Bay. The move sparked an outrageous outcry from scientists around the world and eventually forced the U.S. military to issue an apology.

Although there is no ready-made equipment for making cola in Japan, some of the equipment can still be used with a little modification, but fortunately, these equipment are not in the high-tech category, so they have escaped the disaster. And now that most of the factories in Japan have been closed, these machines and equipment are still unattended in the factory, and with Downing's special status, he finally got what he wanted almost without spending a penny.

In November 1946, in the expectation of Downing's long-awaited wear, Coca-Cola's technicians and family help finally arrived, in fact, the matter had been approved as early as a month before Downing's application, although the military did not approve of the business of serving officers, but because the US occupation of Japan would be a long-term military act, and Coca-Cola has now become a part of the munitions, loved by the majority of soldiers, many soldiers call it "the taste from home", Therefore, production must also be controlled in the hands of the Americans, otherwise the military generals will not be able to rest assured.

In the end, the result of the negotiation was that Tang Ning resigned from the Propaganda Department, retained the rank of captain, and took a temporary post at the US Embassy in Japan, fully responsible for the audit and management of Coca-Cola and other US necessities produced in Japan, and Coca-Cola's first overseas branch officially started construction in Japan, and the company's nominal legal person was Miyuki Yokoyama, which was in fact naturally under Tangning's full control.

Because the funds went directly to Citibank's branch in Japan (note: Citibank had been in Japan since 1902, but had withdrawn last year), Downing began preparations for the new factory before the headquarters and family arrived.

The factory site is located in a relatively well-preserved food factory on the outskirts of Tokyo, although the most concentrated place of US troops in Japan is now on the island of Okinawa, but Tokyo not only has convenient transportation, but also Tokyo has a large population here, it is more convenient to recruit workers, and it is also the location of the US military headquarters in Japan, so Downing still chose the factory site in Japan, and also rented an office in Little America.

After the factory site was set, Tang Ning recalled Higashino Shimada and Matsumoto and others who had passed the inspection during this time, and went to various places that had been inspected before, and transported the required machinery and equipment back to the factory, which allowed Tang Ning to see many scenes beyond his imagination!
