Chapter 172: Bank of Japan
Guo Yu got out of the rickshaw, threw a silver dollar to the coachman, and in the driver's excited thanks, Guo Yu walked to the Shengu Hotel on the south side of Mustang Street. Kamiya Hotel is a three-story wooden building that is not tall but covers a large area, and it is also one of the most famous hotels in Tokyo.
Guo Yu opened the short door curtain with a pattern, and a Japanese woman wearing a kimono and combing her hair hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said, "Distinguished guests, please come in, please ask if you are eating." ”
"I'm here to find a friend, he's in Plum Blossom House, you can take me there." Guo Yu said to the woman.
"Good guest, please come with me." Then he took small steps in front of Guo Yu to show him the way, and the clogs made a crisp sound on the wooden floor.
Walking to the door of a room on the second floor, the woman reached out and gently patted the wooden door, there were a few soft noises in the room, the wooden sliding door was opened, a young man walked out, and when he saw Guo Yu, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and was about to say something, Guo Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Let's go in and talk about something." Then he was the first to go inside.
The woman who led the way saw that the owner of her restaurant, the manager of the Yoshizawa Chamber of Commerce, was so respectful to this tall man, she felt that he must be a big man, and when she was still in a daze, the young man said to her: "Hurry up and bring the meal I ordered, you can go down." Then he went back to his room and closed the sliding door tightly.
This young man's name was Ning Cheng, and he was the leader of the thirty members of the Huafu Association that Guo Yu had sent to assist and monitor Yoshizawa Ryotomi. Guo Yu had secretly contacted Ningcheng before he was ready to come to Japan, and booked a time to wait for Guo Yu's arrival here.
Ning Cheng walked back to the room, bowed deeply to Guo Yu and said, "You've worked hard all the way, you haven't had dinner yet." I've arranged it, and I'll be right away. ”
"Don't worry, just tell me how you're doing in Japan." Guo Yu said softly.
"Okay, please sit down." Then Ning Cheng asked Guo Yu to do it on the tatami mat and report on their work in Japan for more than a year.
"At the head of the meeting, we returned to Japan with Yoshizawa and established a new trading company. Externally known as the Yoshizawa Chamber of Commerce, it is mainly engaged in silk and cotton spinning cloth. At the beginning, because of the new chamber of commerce, we started and the scale was smaller than those of the big chaebols, so the business we started could only be maintained. Then buy some silkworm cocoons and raw silk and ship them to China, which is basically not very profitable. However, our main work during this period was to open up the market and establish business channels, because of our reasonable prices, after half a year we have established sales and purchase channels throughout Japan, and then gradually achieve profitability, and now the Yoshizawa Chamber of Commerce has been among the top ten silk and cotton textile trade associations in Japan, and the Yoshizawa Chamber of Commerce ranks fifth, second only to the chambers of commerce of several major Japanese zaibatsu. Ning Cheng reported.
"The domestic silk factories use a lot of money, in order to seize the market and monopolize the silk business of the Republic of China. The raw silk that can be collected in China has been almost harvested, after all, we still have to give those small businesses a bite to eat, and we can't do too much. Your purchase of raw silk in Japan has greatly alleviated the problem of domestic raw silk shortage, which I can see, your work is very good, Huafu will not forget you who have crossed the ocean to work hard, and will reward you at the right time in the future. Guo Yu knew that Ningcheng and these people were in Japan in order to buy raw silk. It offended the local chaebol forces, and a lot of raw silk was smuggled back to the Republic of China through guò. It is a very dangerous job in itself, so here I comforted Ning Cheng with a few kind words.
Guo Yu's words Ning Cheng was excited in his heart, and the head of the guild he admired was so sure of the work of himself and others, even if it was hard and tired, it was worth it if there was danger, and as for what heavy reward was no longer on Ning Cheng's list.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, Ning Cheng hurriedly got up and opened the door, it turned out that the waiter began to serve, and after the meal was full of food, Ning Cheng waved away the waiter who was originally going to stay and serve.
"Meeting, this restaurant is a traditional Japanese Kansai cuisine, which is the most popular cuisine in Japan, of course, they certainly can't compare with our Chinese cuisine, but it is also the best in Japan, please try it." As he spoke, he began to personally give Guo Yu a dish.
Salmon sashimi, tempura, grilled eel, saury, sushi, salad, miso soup, and seafood, Guo Yu looked at the table full of large and small exquisite dishes and bowls, how to look at how to feel that there are more plates than ingredients, only a few chopsticks in a small plate, it really has no effect on him, a big stomach, fortunately, they are not short of money, they want a lot of things, otherwise it is really not enough to eat.
Kansai cuisine is characterized by its light taste, and you can eat umami. However, it is also very expensive, and even Japanese people can rarely afford to eat authentic food.
"Do you still need to inform Yoshizawa about your trip to Japan?" Ning Cheng asked.
Guo Yu thought for a while and said, "Don't notify me for the time being, I'll explain how the investigation of your matter is." ”
"It's been investigated." Saying this, Ning Cheng put down his chopsticks, took out a folded white paper from his body and handed it to Guo Yu. Guo Yu opened and looked at the content above.
The information of 12 of Japan's largest banks, including Bank of Japan, Dai-ichi Bank, Mitsui Bank, Sumitomo Bank, Yasuda Bank, and Sakura Bank, is impressively listed.
The Bank of Japan was later known as the Bank of Japan, the First Bank later merged with the Bank of Japan to become the Daiichi Bank, the Mitsui Bank, the Sumitomo Bank and the Sakura Bank finally merged to become the Mitsui Sumitomo Bank, and the Yasuda Bank finally developed into the Fuji Bank of Japan, which are now owned by the Japanese government and the four major chaebols, basically monopolizing more than 50% of the capital of the Japanese economy.
And on this one is also marked with the location of the vaults of these banks, and even the information of the bank security and the surrounding police, if you let people who are familiar with the banking industry see it, they will definitely know that the information on it is very secret information, and Guo Yu is carefully studying this information at this time.
That's right. Guo Yu's purpose in secretly coming to Japan this time is to sabotage Japan's economy, and he is going to visit these banks in Japan. Although there is no guarantee that they will take it all, at least it will make the Japanese break out in a cold sweat, and maybe they will be able to gain a lot of money.
After reading this information, Guo Yu directly put the blank paper into the space, and he was going to go back and study it carefully and plan a course of action for himself.
"Very well done, let's have a drink for the two of us." Guo Yu raised the plum wine and said to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was a little flattered and picked up the wine glass in front of him. He said, "The words of the head of the council are the highest instructions, and the subordinates will do their best to complete them." With that, he drank the wine from the glass in one gulp.
Then the two of them ate and drank and chatted. stopped talking about Guo Yu's actions, and ate until 11 o'clock in the evening before he was full, Ning Cheng led Guo Yu out of the Shengu Hotel, and then got into a Ford Model T. Leave Mustang Street.
Sitting on the world's highest-selling car, Guo Yu always feels like sitting on a tricycle, with a small space, a curtain roof, and a hand-cranked start, it really hurts, but fortunately, the leather seats in the back seat are quite comfortable.
"Chief, for your convenience, I have prepared a house for you. The conditions are sparse, I hope you don't mind. Ning Cheng said as he drove.
"I just don't like to live in a guesthouse, but the houses are better, and I just have a taste of the Japanese folk houses." Guo Yu said with a smile.
It didn't take long. Ning Cheng drove to a house and stopped, seeing that the surrounding environment was very quiet, not like there were many neighbors, which aroused Guo Yu's curiosity.
The two got out of the car, walked into a wide porch under the guidance of Ning Cheng, and walked into the house. The house is not big but very elegantly decorated, where is an ordinary house. It is a residence similar to a garden, the Japanese garden is influenced by the Chinese garden everywhere reflects the exquisiteness, although the place is not large, but the waterfall, the earth mountain, the stream, the bridge, the pavilion, the pavilion are perfectly gathered together, reflecting a pure natural and small feeling, it is very pleasing to the eye.
Pure wooden house, fine straw tatami mats covered with carpets, Ning Cheng did not take Guo Yu into the room, but continued to walk towards the backyard, walked down the wooden stairs, under the cover of the crisp plants in the backyard, bursts of fog rose from below, giving people a hazy feeling, Guo Yu had a surprise in his heart, it turned out that there was a hot spring in the backyard.
It is said that soaking in hot springs in Japan is also a good enjoyment, he has long heard of the name of Japanese hot springs, but whether it is modern time and space or the Republic of China time and space, he has no chance to try, today he let himself meet, just drove a 10-hour plane, although he rested for an afternoon, but he was able to soak in the hot springs before going to bed, it was really a good enjoyment, and Guo Yu is still the person who likes to take a bath the most, he has built the best baths in several of his residences, you can see his preferences in this regard.
"It's like a garden, where are the dwellings you are talking about." Guo Yu looked at Ning Cheng and said.
Guo Yu's words made Ning Cheng a little embarrassed, but he still replied: "The first person to come to Japan, you can't really live in those low houses, then your subordinates will also have trouble sleeping, if other colleagues know, I am afraid that I will be beaten by them when I return to Huafu." Ning Cheng said embarrassedly, in fact, his statement was a bit slippery.
"I love it here, let's stay here." Guo Yu is also a person who likes Yajing, and he is naturally happy to see such an exquisite small garden, and although Ning Cheng is suspected of being a sycophant, it is also a piece of the mind of his subordinates, and Guo Yu naturally can't be harsh with him in this regard.
"You don't care about the rest of the matter, if there is something, I will contact you again, and I will return to China by myself after I finish the matter, and I will not greet you when the time comes." Guo Yu said.
"Okay, chief, I've prepared some yen for you in the room for your convenience, and if there's nothing to do, then my subordinate will leave." Ning Cheng said respectfully.
After Guo Yu nodded, Ning Cheng said goodbye and left, although he didn't know the purpose of the first meeting to come to Japan, but judging from the information of Guo Yu and the Bank of Japan he wanted, Ning Cheng could roughly guess a few points, but those were not what he should care about, he just needed to complete the tasks assigned by the head of the meeting.
