h2> When Guo Yu was talking with the American consul Alder and the British consul Jensen, the Japanese consul Harada Takeshi came over to find Guo Yu, hoping to exchange some questions with Guo Yu, which made Guo Yu stunned, he was not familiar with this guy, and inviting him was just that all the consuls were invited, and it was not very polite to invite him, if it was according to Guo Yu's meaning, he did not plan to invite the Japanese to attend the ceremony.

Takeshi Harada is not tall, about forty years old, with a straight face as if someone should pay for him, Guo Yu responded in his heart, you are dead father, and you always have such an expression when you come out to see people.

Guo Yu didn't want to see him, and asked directly: "Consul Harada has something to say." ”

"I think it's better for us to find a secluded place, it's too noisy." Takeshi Harada's dead face is still the same.

Guo Yu looked at the two consuls, Alder and Jensen, turned to Harada and said, "I'm very short of time, and I'm going to return to Suzhou soon, Consul Harada can say it here if he has something, I think I can hear it." ”

Harada Takeshi narrowed his eyes, feeling that his task this time might not be so easy to complete, it seems that this Guo Yu is a strong-willed person who is not at the mercy of others, "Guo Dujun, your silk business has seriously affected the economy of Japan, and I am assigned by the country to convey to you the requirements of the Japanese government." ”

"Wait, you come to convey the Japanese government's request to me, when will I listen to the Japanese government, please pay attention to the words used when Consul Harada speaks." Guo Yu's face immediately sank, he hadn't gone to find anything about you Japanese, but you came to the door, and you dared to use this tone on me, I really don't know what to do. Harada Takeshi's words made Guo Yu very unhappy.

Alder and Jensen glanced at each other, feeling that there was another good show to watch today, this Guo Yu has a lot of business contacts with Europe and the United States, and is the object of the key development of US interests in China, while although the British are now supporting Japan to deal with China, but it is only for the interests of the Far East, and it is naturally happy to see Guo Yu and the Japanese in conflict.

Guo Yu's words choked Harada Yizhi not lightly, he usually treats Chinese with a high-minded attitude, it is not easy to change after getting used to it, today talking to Guo Yu unnaturally brought out this tone, who knows that this Guo Yu has such a big reaction, interrupted him without waiting for him to finish speaking, and pushed him back with words.

"Guo Dujun, let me reiterate that I am talking to you on behalf of the Japanese government this time, for the silk business, the dumping of a large amount of silk produced by your factories has caused a severe impact on my country's silk industry, and my government protests against your unfair competition, and our Japanese government hopes that you can stabilize the price of your own silk, and there is also the issue of the quota for sales negotiated between us." Harada Yizhi didn't wait for Guo Yu to object, and quickly said his intention, and Guo Yu of the province interrupted him again.

Guo Yu heard Harada Yizhi's words with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "Consul Harada, the market determines the price of commodities, and commodities determine sales, which are all normal economic operations, and you are ready to intervene in economic operations in the mode of government intervention, and you are also interfering in businessmen from other countries, don't you think your words are a little ridiculous." ”

"Besides, my raw silk is mainly exported to the United States and Europe, and now the American consul and the British consul are here, do you think they agree with your statement that you will raise the price for sales, and if they are willing to give me more money, I will naturally be happy." After speaking, Guo Yu looked at Alder and Jensen with a smile.

The two who were originally going to watch the excitement were said by Guo Yuyi, and they also felt that Harada Yizhi's words were a little unreasonable, if Guo Yu really agreed to Japan's proposal, then the loss would be his country's money.

"Consul Harada, do you Japan want to destroy the normal market economy, then I will report your statement to the US Congress, and I think that the price of grain and steel exported to your country will increase at that time." Alder said.

"I think the price of British silk production equipment should also be raised, as if Japanese silk production equipment is all based on British machine equipment." Jensen also said.

The words of the two made Harada Takeshi very depressed, it seems that he really shouldn't have said this matter in front of the two consuls of the United States and Britain today, originally he thought that Guo Yu would be like other officials of the Republic of China, and he would be submissive to Japan, so he wanted to show himself in front of the consuls of other countries, but now he was humiliated by Guo Yu, and there was no way to fight back.

Harada Takeshi's face is no longer a dead face, the color is constantly changing, white, red, red and black, which is very exciting. Guo Yu laughed in his heart when he saw it, and he dared to pretend in front of me, seeing that I couldn't kill you.

Originally, in the four years from 1912 to 1915, Japan vigorously developed mechanical textiles, making Japan's silk industry surpass China, and became the world's largest producer and exporter of raw silk and silk in one fell swoop.

Since the beginning of this year, Guo Yu began to launch a Wanxiu silk factory, which can produce 3,000 tons of silk per year, which has reached a quarter of Japan's total annual output, which is the consequence of the generation gap in science and technology. Then Guo Yu saw the hope of defeating Japan, and naturally made great efforts to build several silk textile factories, reaching the level of annual output of 10,000 tons in one fell swoop, and the industrial production of silk is of first-class quality and low cost, in order to seize the market, Guo Yu in the country to not destroy the domestic silk workshop production of ordinary prices to buy domestic silk, and then merge their own silk and sell it to the United States and Europe, although the acquisition of the domestic part of the money is not much, but there is their own production of silk to reconcile, the profit is still considerable, And Guo Yu has only used a few months now, basically has monopolized the silk market of the Republic of China, now unless he has a special sales channel, or he will get Huafu will sell, although the profit is lower than the previous sales price, but the victory is in the price stability, how much to how much, really do not worry about selling, as long as the small factories step up production, there will be a way to live.

Guo Yu really took advantage of such an opportunity to fight a price war with Japanese silk, and used his trading company in the United States to do bulk business with the U.S. government and European governments, snatching most of the market that originally belonged to Japan, and also severely lowering the price, the United States and Europe were naturally willing, but Japan felt the pressure, because the profits of silk were squeezed by Guo Yu's lower price, which made the Japanese government unacceptable.

And now Guo Yu is also secretly using Yoshizawa Yoshitatsu's line to buy silkworm cocoons in Japan, and he has not traded them, so that the Japanese government has no way to receive taxes, which further affects economic income. As for those silkworm cocoons, they were all smuggled by Guo Yu to China and entered his own textile factory. The silk fabrics were then shipped to the past for sale, which was considered to be a seizure of the Japanese domestic market.

As the original traditional export place of Japan, North Korea, is now a subject country of Japan, so it is natural for Japan to continue to occupy, and the countries of Nanyang were also robbed by Guo Yu, and now there are many Huafu associations in Nanyang countries, although it can not be compared with the domestic in terms of scale and quantity, but after all, it has gained a firm foothold, and has played a great role in seizing the market with Japan.

At this time, Japan's big chaebol has not really controlled the Japanese political arena, but it still has a certain influence on the Japanese cabinet, after all, this is related to Japan's financial revenue, the Japanese government in the investigation is clear that Guo Yu monopolized the silk industry of the Republic of China, the use of price reduction means to encroach on the Japanese silk market, naturally sent people to put pressure on Guo Yu, in order to achieve the purpose of interfering in Guo Yu's silk business.

The Japanese government did not expect that Guo Yu's move was aimed at Japan, so naturally he would not be frightened by their few words, and Harada Yizhi directly suffered a verbal loss from Guo Yu.

Harada Yizhi did not give up, and after calming down for a while, he continued: "Guo Yu overseer, I hope you can carefully consider the Japanese government's request, this is a matter related to the two normal relations, and I think the Republic of China government does not agree with Guo Yujun's reckless behavior. ”

Hearing this, Guo Yu was a little annoyed, looked at Harada Yizhi and said, "Why, do you still want to figure out how the government of the Republic of China is putting pressure on me, saying that I am acting recklessly, I think you Japanese are really reckless." Just last month, how did the Zhengjiatun incident happen, you Japanese led troops into the headquarters of the 28th Regiment of the 28th Division of the Fengjun Army due to a trivial matter, thus causing a conflict between the Chinese and Japanese armies, 5 soldiers of the 28th Division were killed, 3 were wounded, and 1 Chinese pedestrian was injured. Guo Yu's tone was a little unkind, and his voice was a little high, which naturally attracted other consuls from various countries to look at him.

"We Japanese soldiers also lost 12 dead and 5 wounded." Takeshi Harada retorted.

"That's what you deserve, your Japanese businessmen wantonly beat a child of our country on the street, the soldiers of the 28th Division Feng Delin's cavalry regiment stationed in Zhengjiatun passed by and went up to stop it, that guy named Yoshimoto Kidaiji still dared to make a move against the soldiers of our country, and after being beaten, he ran to complain, and you Japanese soldiers went out to attack the 28th Division station, and the two sides were killed and wounded after a fierce battle, and then you Japanese sent heavy troops to capture Zhengjiatun, and also announced, "From Zhengjiatun to Siping Street within 30 miles on the north and south sides of the road, Chinese troops are prohibited from entering. "That's what you call not being reckless." The more Guo Yu spoke, the more angry he became, glaring at Harada Yizhi angrily and saying, "If my Huafu Army is attacked like this, I will let them have no return." Speaking of this, Guo Yu's body was faintly filled with a killing aura.

After all, Harada Takeshi is just a civilian official, facing Guo Yu, a heavy soldier in his hand, and a small overseer, now that he has a seizure, he is naturally frightened that Harada Takeshi changes color again, but the psychology of looking down on the Chinese for many years made him quickly suppress his thoughts, and disappeared from the ceremony scene after dropping a sentence of "I hope you don't regret it".
