It's midnight.

In the high and deep night sky above Xingyi Lake, the moon is cold and the light stars are confused.

Zhu Tong and Jing Chi Xuemei sit in the pavilion in Xingyi Lake.

Although Yukimi Iike was wrapped in a thick fur, she was still trembling.

Zhu Tong knew that if it weren't for herself, Ichi Yukimi would definitely choose to agree to Matsui Shi.

"They want me to look good, Miss Yukimi, and you should agree to Matsui's request. Without Fukui Shipyard, Fuhua Shipbuilding would not have broken the game. Zhu Tong thought about it again and again, and could only say so.

"Sir, you don't blame me?" Ichi Yukimi raised her little face and said sadly. She also understands that Matsui Shiki didn't give her a choice at all.

"Fool, why should I blame you? Remember? Right here, you agreed to cooperate with Tian Xuyang to establish Fuhua Shipbuilding under my threat. I can't live since I did evil, everything starts with me, how can I let Xuemei resist my burden? ”

"But ......"

"Miss Xuemei, don't worry, this little thing can't overwhelm me. Fuhua Shipbuilding is going to be built in Shanghai and in China, and I have enough chips in my hands. Zhu Tong gritted his teeth, he couldn't make Jingchi Xuemei embarrassed anymore, the burden on the little girl was already very heavy.

Jingchi Xuemei felt a little relaxed, and Zhu Tong asked about herself.

The new company to be established by Smith and Matsui Heishi Joint Shipping will be mainly composed of Fukui Shipbuilding and MT Shipping. In fact, it's just a shipyard.

In the early stage, Smith has acquired the main shipyard of Fukui, and Matsui Heishi owns the supporting part, about a dozen core parts companies, the core part of which is the Orton company and a ship research institute, as well as a large area of land and a bay with good scenery after the shipyard is dismantled.

Orton said that marine steam turbines are a key technology in shipbuilding, and Matsui's lifelong political accumulation contributed to this deal, and the biggest obstacle came from the restrictions on this technology. And the establishment of MT shipping company is to avoid trouble.

The research institute under the Fukui Shipyard has a long history, and it is the scientific and technological wealth accumulated by the Iike family over the past 100 years. The institute has a large number of experienced researchers and fairly advanced laboratories, and has close academic exchanges with several universities in Kyoto and Tokyo, and the rights to use the patented technology purchased by Smith are the assets of the institute.

Smith and Matsui reorganized these things into a joint ship, and were already in an advantageous position in negotiations with Zhu Tong. They no longer have to worry about the ties from the Ichi family, and they can offer sky-high prices without any consideration. If the negotiation does not go well, you can always leave Xuyang Group aside and look for another partner in Shanghai or China.

Jingchi Yukimi went back to rest under the advice of Zhu Tong, but the little liar himself was not sleepy, and walked out of the villa and walked around Xingyi Lake.

"Sir, please come in for tea." A paper lantern suddenly lit up in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Nomura Hanami knelt in the shadow of the lamp.

Zhu Tong walked into the pavilion on the ice, there was a pair of Go on the coffee table, and the tea tray was on the ground.

Nomura Hanami bowed his head deeply and said, "Sir, I misread you, you are a true gentleman. I'm sorry for the offense I have done before, so please bear with me. ”

"Mr. Nomura said that I am not a gentleman, I just do something and do nothing." Zhu Tong sat down opposite the Nomura Flower Sea.

Tianye Ranch can be regarded as the core of the Jingchi family, and Zhu Tong knows that he and Jingchi Xuemei's every move can't escape the eyes and ears of others.

"Mr. Bai is doing well here, and the old man formally asked Mr. to consider a suggestion: to help Miss Ben." With a bamboo spoon, Nomura scooped out clumps of snow from a black jar and poured them into the tea stove to light the charcoal underneath.

Zhu Tong was attracted by the old man's elegant hobbies and actions, and Nomura Hanami's Chinese was relatively blunt, and the little liar didn't understand his words at the first time. After thinking about it carefully, I was stunned: people mean that they want to replace Matsui Heishi and become the president of the Iike Foundation.

"Ping Zhijun once talked to me, and Miss has always been obsessed with the past, and he was forced to do so. Ping Zhijun is not a greedy person, he could have asked for more, Fukui Shipbuilding in the family business, at most, only one percent, but Ping Zhijun exchanged two into four shares, everyone admired it. It was he who recommended Mr. and said that you are his best successor.

"There are three days left before the festival of the former head of the family, and Hui Heji is preparing for a big sacrifice at Sekiyoji Temple outside the ranch, and Matsui Shiki has decided to apologize on that day. Alas, as the gentleman said, once such a thing has begun, no man, no excuse, no good will of reconciliation will be meaningless; Stay together, either you live or die or everyone perish together. Past grievances should end here, but the young lady needs a helper, and for the time being, there is no suitable candidate within the family. ”

Nomura Hanami gently waved the paper fan to keep the charcoal fire in the tea stove in a state of unhurriedness, and the snow water was about to boil, and what to say was finished.

Three days, that is, the 15th day of the first month, is the day of the plane crash of Yukimi Iike's father. Zhu Tong knew that what he didn't expect was that Matsui chose this day to end his life, and the Matsui family would also officially break away from the Ichi family on this day.

As hot air came out of the tea stove, Nomura Hanami scooped out two spoonfuls of spherical granules from the tea pot and put them into the black pottery tea bowl, first pouring half a bowl of boiling water.

The round balls stretch out in the water, gradually showing the appearance of tea leaves, all of which are small tips; The delicate aroma wafts out.

Nomura Hanami sighed intoxicatedly: "Ah, it's so touching." ”

Zhu Tong was not moved in the slightest, although he also likes to drink tea, he will not be moved by tea.

Nomura Hanami was moved three times, and the water in the tea bowl was poured to eighty percent.

"Sir, please use it, this is the Tianlu plum tea made by Miss herself in the spring when she picks the most beautiful and tender tea leaves on the mountain. This altar of snow was also swept down from those tea trees, and it was worthy of Miss's hard work. ”

It turns out that there is so much exquisiteness, Zhu Tong picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the front taste was mellow and the aftertaste was light, there was a slight sour comfort, and it was really a good thing.

The tea tasted light after three dishes, Zhu Tong didn't say yes or no, and Nomura Hanami didn't ask; This kind of thing should not be rushed, and people should be given time to think about it.

He lit the tea stove again, this time he didn't deliberately serve the charcoal, but handed Zhu Tong a jar of chess pieces: "Mr. is a busy person, it's rare to be able to sit with the old man and talk about a game?" ”

Zhu Tong responded, saw that it was a black chess piece, and took a shot on the chessboard. His chess skills are wild, and he rarely plays; Now, in order to think about the complex situation in front of you, it is better to change your mind in the next game.

After more than a dozen hand exchanges, Zhu Tong found out that Nomura Huahai is also a wild way, and the rules of the characters are the same as his own, and he is arrogant and fierce, and he is not more particular than himself.

The two wild paths met together, and the game quickly decided the winner: Zhu Tong lost.

"The gentleman is absent-minded, and the old man is not interesting. Don't think about it again? Nomura Hanami deducted the last son and asked a little disappointed.

Zhu Tong woke up suddenly, this old guy could actually see his mind from the chess game; In fact, he did gradually clear his mind as the game progressed.

"I'm not good at this, losing is inevitable." Zhu Tong smiled, picked up the tea bowl that had already become cold and took a sip; "Hmm, Miss Xuemei's Tianlu plum tea, it has a different flavor when you drink it cold."

"It's late, Ping Zhijun will come to the ranch tomorrow morning, Mr. rest early." Nomura Hanami left a smile and left.

Zhu Tong arched his hand and continued to meditate in the small pavilion.

Nomura Hanami's suggestion will certainly not take so much time to Zhu Tong, and it is doubtful that an outsider, especially a Chinese, could not do anything in such an ancient family-style consortium; Unless he marries Yukimi Iike soon.

Zhu Tong thought hard about the relationship between Matsui and Smith, and what impact Matsui Heizhi would have on Fuhua Shipbuilding after he obtained Fukui Shipbuilding.

Lan Zhanjiang has said that Matsui Heishi holds 15 percent of the shares of MT Shipping, and it seems that at least three months ago, he began to prepare to leave the Iike consortium. The negotiations in Shanghai a few weeks ago were purely theatrical, and the painstaking and costly agreement is no longer meaningful.

The little liar pondered according to Matsui's position and came to the conclusion that Matsui was seeking to take a controlling stake in Fuhua Shipbuilding; He counted himself and Smith into it.

Moreover......

A terrible speculation surfaced at the same time, and it was likely that there was some secret agreement between Matsui Heishi and Tian Xuyang.

Also, why did Nomura Hanami leave such a strange smile?

His eyes slowly moved to the chessboard, speculating on the opponent's mind along the progress of the chess game, and finally noticed the last move taken by Nomura Hanami.

It's strange, why did he lay down in that place? That corner was originally a live chess, so Zhu Tong would not die if he killed it, but Nomura Hanami made up for this hand and it became a robbery; Although it has nothing to do with the overall situation, Zhu Tong's black chess robbery is limited, and even if he robs, he has no chance of winning, but ......

The candle inside the paper lantern burned to the end, and the lit lantern exploded into a brilliant fireball, which slowly extinguished.

The little crook laughed dryly and went back to the villa to rest.

Xiao Xiao was sorting out the documents, and when he saw the smiling expression on Zhu Tong's face, he asked, "Director, it's cold outside, right?" ”

"It's okay;" Zhu Tong rubbed his face; "Any news?"

Xiao Xiao has been in touch with the preparations in Shanghai, she brought the documents in her hand over, and said, "Yes, Director Wu and Xiang Mo are busy today, and they haven't rested yet." ”

Zhu Tong took it, looked at it, and showed a smile on his face.

The world is so strange that the little liar could not have imagined that the shock bomb he released in Shanghai before he left would cause such a reaction?

Since this afternoon, strange phone calls have been coming into the Fuhua Shipbuilding Preparatory Office. Some shipbuilding companies in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan asked whether the negotiations with MT Shipping had really reached an impasse, and Mr. Li Xiang said that he was interested in finding new partners.

In fact, since the establishment of the Fuhua Shipbuilding Preparatory Office, there have been similar shipbuilding companies and preparatory rafters, seeking the possibility of cooperation or transfer. At that time, Zhu Tong's mind was all on MT Shipping Company and Smith, and Xiang Mo was the most idle in the preparation office, so these things were left to her to deal with.

In the evening, especially after ten o'clock, Wu Zhanming, who was preparing to be on duty, received five faxes one after another. He couldn't read foreign languages, and he was afraid of delays, so he called Xiang Mo to translate them, and found that these faxes from Europe also expressed roughly the same meaning, and hoped to start informal contact with the preparatory office to discuss whether there was a possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

"What an information society." Zhu Tong counted that there were a total of 12 shipbuilding enterprises, including three in Ben, three in South Korea, and two in Taiwan. smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, you tell Director Wu to start collecting information related to them tomorrow and be ready to start informal contact." ”

"Director, I'm afraid that we don't have enough manpower, and these companies ......." Xiao Xiao hesitated, even if the preparatory office was in full swing, it would be impossible to do such a large amount of desk preparation in a short period of time.

"You don't have to take it too seriously, besides, the informal contact that people ask for is about the meaning of exchanging information, and if you don't understand anything, just ask them. It never hurts to be in contact, and it's not a marriage. Tell the family what information they want, and try to meet it. ”

"Trying to be satisfied?" Xiao Xiao smiled; "Do all the materials have to be processed by the assistant?"

Zhu Tong smiled and didn't speak, Xiao Xiao became more and more understanding.

There are only two ways to exchange information through this remote informal contact, the international postal system and the Internet.

Because of the time factor and the need to save resources, the Internet has become the choice for most companies to exchange files.

The documents that have been processed by the Taiwan Strait dialect will be implanted with some small bits and pieces.

Zhu Tong once stipulated that all personnel of the preparatory department must send emails or materials to the outside world through two computers under the control of the Taiwan Strait dialect. Xiao Xiao, as Zhu Tong's secretary, has more external contacts.

At present, Xiao Xiao is the only one in the preparatory department who knows the secrets of the Taiwan Strait dialect.
