Chapter Ninety-Nine: Action (3)
After returning to the office, the more Jotaro Yamamoto thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Because according to the information they had, unless there was external help, Yan Shao's funds would have dried up long ago, and it was impossible to hold on for more than four months.
"Could it be that the bank provided the loan?" Yamamoto said suspiciously.
Kosuke Yamaguchi shook his head. "It can't be."
"Indeedβ" Yamamoto bowed slightly.
If you want to save Yan Shao from the predicament, you need at least hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, and not anyone can get such a large amount of money, even Zhang Jian at this stage.
The only people who can get this money are foreign banks and banks in various countries.
At the same time, these people should be divided into two categories, one is those who have money but are unwilling to borrow because they are afraid that they will not be able to recover the cost, and the other is those who are willing to borrow but have bad intentions. The former naturally does not need to be mentioned, and the latter, Yamamoto and Harrison and others can also be included.
In addition, the Japanese have been operating in Shanghai for many years, and if someone really needs to help, it is impossible for them not to know the way, so this one was rejected by themselves.
"If it weren't for foreign help...", Yamamoto stood up from his seat with an ugly expression. Could it be that there was some omission in the information of the original investigation..."
Kosuke Yamaguchi's face turned pale, because he was in charge of the investigation in the first place. "Your Excellency the branch president, do you want me to send someone to investigate again?"
"It's okay," Yamamoto nodded. Didn't you buy a few inner ghosts under the hands of that Chinese? Just let them play some role, and this matter will be left to you. Don't let me down..."
There are very few people in this world who are willing to live with money, so in addition to some employees in the textile factory, several people from the management are also bought. However, they did not know the identity of Kosuke Yamaguchi. I just thought that Kosuke Yamaguchi was someone from other textile mills.
Later, Mitsui & Co., together with other foreign firms, carried out low-price dumping in Anhui and other provinces, and because he felt that he had already won the game, Kosuke Yamaguchi unilaterally broke off contact with them.
But now in order to get more information, he has to restart these lines.
"Understood...," Kosuke Yamaguchi said respectfully, bowing his head.
After explaining the matter and signaling Kosuke Yamaguchi to retreat, Yamamoto focused on a few papers on the table. Kosuke Yamaguchi, on the other hand, retreated from the office and quietly closed the door. Not even a sound...
In the corridor, several staff members were walking through the doorway, and when they saw Kosuke Yamaguchi, they hurriedly retreated to the side. Wait until Kosuke Yamaguchi disappears from the hallway. The staff said strangely.
"It's strange, why is Yamaguchi's face so ugly..."
"yes, I remember he was always smiling..."
ββ¦β¦ He had just come out of the branch president's office, could it be that he had just been reprimanded? β
"It may also be because of things in Anhui. I've heard that the matter hasn't been resolved until now. The opinions of other foreign banks seem to be very strong, and even the mood of the branch manager is very bad. β
I didn't know that the staff members were talking about it there, and after returning to his office, Kosuke Yamaguchi picked up the phone. "Go, call Yoshizawa and them to my office..."
"Okay, I'll go right away..."On the other end of the phone, after learning that it was Kosuke Yamaguchi, the person who answered the phone quickly replied.
Wait until the phone hangs up. Kosuke Yamaguchi covered his face with his hands.
"Could it be that there is really something missing in the original information?"
A patient who was diagnosed with a terminal illness. In the end, he actually lived to be 100 years old, and there are only two possibilities for this to happen. One is that the patient is already 99 years old, a month short of exactly 100 years old, and another possibility is that the doctor made an error in diagnosis, which is a misdiagnosis.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of misdiagnosis is obviously relatively large.
If it was really a misdiagnosis, then Kosuke Yamaguchi could only pray that there would not be too many deviations.
This time, more than 20 foreign companies invested in blood, and it took more than four months, and if he returned without getting anything, he knew very well that he would definitely be pushed out and take full responsibility.
At that time, the most likely thing is that he will be disposed of on a ship on the way home.
When Yoshizawa and a few others arrived at Kosuke Yamaguchi's office, they saw him sitting there with an ugly face, wondering what he was thinking, even when they came in.
"Your Excellency Yamaguchi?"
Seeing Kosuke Yamaguchi like this, Yoshizawa Naga whispered a little strangely.
"Oh? You're coming..."Kosuke Yamaguchi, who had come to his senses, glanced at them, slapped his face with his hand, and said after feeling a lot more energetic. "I called you here this time because I have something for you to do..."
"Your Excellency..."
"Well, it's very simple, it's for you to rush to Wuhu as soon as possible, reconnect the broken threads, and then try to get some useful information from the people we have already bribed, such as..." For example, in terms of money..."
"Money?" They glanced at each other, and Yoshizawa said strangely. "Haven't we already done our research?"
"It's true...", with a sigh, Kosuke Yamaguchi said lightly. But the Chinese held out longer than expected, so His Excellency Yamamoto suspected that there was something missing in the information we received. β
"Negligence..."Yoshizawa's face changed.
Now they have heard about the situation outside, and if there is a mistake in this matter, they also know what the consequences will be in the end.
"That's right." With a slight bow, Kosuke Yamaguchi looked at the few people in front of him. "So now I need you to go to Wuhu again, and remember, anyway, at least bring back a few useful news..."
"Understood..."
After Yoshizawa and the others left, Kosuke Yamaguchi clenched his fists.
"Now it's up to them to see if they can bring back any useful information..."
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After understanding the seriousness of the situation, Yoshizawa and the others rushed to Wuhu as quickly as possible.
After contacting the bribed ghosts in the textile mill, although they still have no clue about the financial problems, they get another shocking news.
"What did you say?" Faced with the information given by Yoshizawa Yong, who rushed back from Wuhu overnight, Kosuke Yamaguchi's eyes widened. "Are you saying that at least three-quarters of the goods we sell to the Yangtze River basin every month are eaten by that Chinese?"
"That's right..."Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yoshizawa was also shocked when he learned this information. According to the information obtained by one of the people I bought, as early as more than two months ago, those Chinese had already bought Narita Shigeru and them under the condition of hiding their identities, and after that, only a small part of the goods we sold to Anhui and other provinces were dumped according to the original plan, and the rest were traded to the Chinese, and it was conservatively estimated that there were more than 30 million in more than two months..."
"More than 30 million..."Kosuke Yamaguchi suddenly felt a chill on his body.
He has a certain status in Mitsui & Co., how can he not know what more than 30 million means.
In 1906, Mitsui's foreign trade volume was 170 million yen, accounting for one-fifth of Japan's foreign trade at that time, and the sales of Mitsui's branches in China at that time were not even half of its overseas sales.
In other words, these more than 30 million yuan are equivalent to half of Mitsui & Co.'s trade volume in China, and if you count the part that was not collected by Yan Shao, it even reached more than half. This is also because Yamamoto asked other foreign firms for help at the beginning, and without the help of more than 20 other foreign firms, he would not be able to support this level of dumping.
But now...
"This is definitely a conspiracy..."Thinking that Yan Shao had been showing weakness on the surface, pretending to be depleted of funds, but behind his back he could take out tens of millions to absorb the goods, Kosuke Yamaguchi almost gritted his teeth with hatred.
This time, what he got was really not fake news, after all, such a big move could not be kept secret at all. After more than a month, the matter became an open secret among the top management of the textile mill. Even Shigeru Narita, who was the object of the transaction, vaguely guessed something.
It's just that at that time, he had already traded at least 20 million goods with Li Liang, and he also received more than 100,000 yuan in benefits, even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't stop, and he could only pretend to be ignorant with a few other people.
On the other side, looking at Kosuke Yamaguchi's hatred and almost going crazy, Yoshizawa Naga also panicked. "Your Excellency, what shall we do now? Do you want to report it to Your Excellency the Branch Manager? As he spoke, he was about to walk out, but he didn't take a few steps before Kosuke Yamaguchi grabbed him.
"Report to the branch president? You're crazy! Grabbing Yoshizawa's arm, Kosuke Yamaguchi said in a low voice. Do you know what will happen to us when this matter comes out? Since the Chinese surnamed Yan can get tens of millions, the dumping tactics of the branch chief are equivalent to failure, the value of textiles dumped in Anhui and other provinces in more than four months has been close to 100 million yuan, and those small foreign banks below are almost unable to hold on, only because the market promised by the branch chief is barely supported, if this news is spread at this time, you and I will definitely be used as scapegoats to push out the gang to bear full responsibility, when the time comes, do you want to have a decent disembowelment, or are you put into a sack and sunk into the Huangpu River..."
This time the incident is so big that I am afraid that the Japanese foreign companies in Shanghai will be affected.
Perhaps Yoshizawa would like to commit suicide like a samurai, but Kosuke Yamaguchi would never want to become a floating corpse on the Huangpu River...
