Chapter 68: Some People Rejoice, Some People Are Sad
Old Robert was taken aback when he heard Downing say this: "Killed? You're exaggerating, even the gendarmerie doesn't have the right to shoot soldiers casually! ”
Tang Ning smiled slightly: "It's okay if you don't shoot it, but I have to punish it, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my employees." In fact, Downing himself knows that it is unrealistic to kill, maybe Filipino soldiers can say a little, but American soldiers can't, American public opinion has always been stubborn in this regard, so it gives the outside world the illusion that American soldiers are very valuable. So his original purpose was not to kill, it was just to bargain.
Old Robert also reacted at this time, but to be honest, he couldn't get used to the nonsense of those soldiers, especially those Filipino guys, but he really didn't have so much time and energy to take care of this kind of thing, Downing, as a U.S. military quartermaster supplier, himself also has the status of an army captain, and it is barely reasonable for him to punish soldiers who violate discipline, and it is time to teach these guys a lesson, day by day like a soldier, so he said smoothly: "If it's just punishment, It's not that it's not negotiable, it's just that there are many places that need to be dotted and distributed, and 100,000 US dollars is not enough, at least 500,000 yuan. ”
When Tang Ning heard this, he was immediately furious, thinking that this old guy is really greedy for money, and he is 150,000 US dollars a year, why don't you rob it? At this price, I bought 47 to 50 years of peace, and when the Korean War broke out, can you continue to stay in Okinawa, so Downing replied coldly: "Okinawa is really a big place, big rules, it seems that my small factory is here to live a big life, I better go to other places to see, today to disturb Uncle Robert." ”
Old Robert is really a little panicked at this time, in fact, he is already very satisfied with 100,000 US dollars, and the asking price just now is just a matter of habit, why not more if you can order more? It's just that it may be a little higher just now, and it directly scared the customer away, people said before, his Okinawa is just one of the alternatives, since he wants it so high, then he can go somewhere else, this is not good, if such a rare financial road runs, he can't sleep at night, so he hurriedly pulled Tang Ning with a smile on his face and said: "Tony, why is your temperament always so anxious, here is your Uncle Robert, how can you spend more unnecessary money, so let's do it, just this 100,000, You put it here with me, I will do my best to help you do this, if there is anything in the future, let's discuss it again, okay? ”
In fact, Tang Ning didn't plan to change places at all, just now he was just retreating as advance, and now when he saw that old Robert was so good, he naturally cooperated: "Thank you so much Uncle Robert, then everything is entrusted to you, I will go back to prepare for the relocation." ”
Although the factory area in Ryukyu has not yet been built, the relocation of the munitions factory has spread quickly and covertly throughout Tokyo's business circles, and although the Mitsubishi chaebol has been repeatedly suppressed, the news is still very well-informed. It's just that after getting the news, Mitsubishi's internal reactions are different, and some people are happy and some are worried!
Rejoicing are Kawaguchi and Nagatomo, who feel that Downing, a nasty American devil, has finally left Tokyo, otherwise it would always make people feel uncomfortable to see his factory dangling in front of them every day.
And Matsumoto's mentality, which he was very familiar with Tang Ning, was diametrically opposed to them, so he couldn't get used to Kawaguchi Nagatomo's happy appearance, and frowned and said: "Kawaguchi, Nagayou, I really don't know what you think, Tang Ning's factory just moved, and it didn't go out of business, do you deserve to be so happy?" ”
Kawaguchi replied with a smile while holding a wine glass: "Matsumoto, you guy just likes to pour cold water on others when they are happy, and that nasty American devil has been driven away by us, isn't it worth being happy?" ”
Matsumoto said helplessly: "It's not that I like to pour cold water, but it's a fact, this guy is getting smarter and smarter now, this time he moved to Okinawa, but there are no more constraints and restrictions, and he can develop at will." ”
Changyou asked puzzledly: "Didn't this Tang Ning stay in Tokyo and was driven away by us, how did you say as if he had made a wonderful move." ”
Matsumoto took a sip of stuffy wine and explained: "What you said is also not right, the right thing is that Downing is indeed struggling to develop in Tokyo, although on the surface he took advantage of the status of a captain in the United States, but in fact, Tokyo is the Tokyo of our Japanese after all, and his factory has encountered a lot of things in its development to the present, and it is poisoned and self-detonated, especially this self-explosion incident should be the direct cause of his departure, because he knows that Japan's economy cannot always be so dilapidated, there will always be a time to develop, Or the United States will always change its policy toward Japan one day, and at that time, his advantage in Tokyo will be gone, so he simply takes advantage of the fact that this day has not yet come, and directly leaves Tokyo to find a place that is completely suitable for his development, and Okinawa is undoubtedly one of the most suitable places, not only the transportation is convenient, but also there is no formed force in Okinawa, so he can develop at will. ”
Changyou gasped and sighed, "According to what you say, this guy is smart enough, and such a relocation is killing two birds with one stone." ”
Kawaguchi said disdainfully: "You all think too highly of him, what kills two birds with one stone, it is clear that he ran to the poor place in Okinawa to hide and be a soil overlord, if he continues to stay in Tokyo, he may still be a little threatening to our Mitsubishi, but now it is completely gone." ”
Matsumoto shook his head: "Kawaguchi, you're not right. Have you seen the Swiss Army knife factory he built? It is much more spacious and grand than the other four factories, and it also recruits a lot of skilled old workers, no matter how you look at it, this is not simply a saber factory under construction, which gives me the feeling that he is going to meddle in the weapons manufacturing industry, if this is true, then he will be our biggest competitor in the future, than the source of raw materials, than policy support, he has completely defeated us, and now he has run to Okinawa, which is full of American troops and Ryukyuan people, and there is no check and balance, and he can develop arbitrarily. ”
Changyou frowned and said: "This is not good, in case what you said is true, it will really be a trouble for us Mitsubishi, no, this matter has to be reported to the board of directors." ”
