9. Reorganization (I)
When you come, you have a smooth water, a car and a face.
When I got there, it was difficult to walk, not to mention how embarrassed it was.
However, Zhu Tong felt more calm in his heart.
In one hour, it has been fifteen kilometers away from Sekiyoji Temple, and at this rate, it will be at least tomorrow night to reach Jiutsu.
Maybe it's time to go straight to Kyoto?
Along the way, his thinking gradually broadened. Wang Xiangjiao has already said that as long as there is Orton Company, he can fully explain all aspects.
At least Orton's company nominally belongs to Matsui Heishi's industry, Nomura Hanami is dead, and Kawanaka Hiroshi has not yet been able to fully inherit the old florist's connections and mantle. It's a pity that without Yukimi Izike's support, his next plan would be difficult to implement.
In two hours, Zhu Tong left Seqing Temple less than 30 kilometers; He hadn't had a good rest for two days and two nights, and his lack of energy dragged down his physical strength and gradually exhausted.
At the end of the road, there was a little ***, which stood out in the pre-dawn darkness.
Soon, *** by one, the sound of the engine broke the silence around it, it was a car.
Zhu Tong stood on the side of the road, waiting.
He had repeated this several times, and each time he was disappointed. Before, he called Matsui Heishi, and it would take him some time to arrive.
The car rushed past him, stopped a short distance behind him, and turned around.
Kazuo Ikeda's face was visible from behind the glass window, and he jumped down and pulled the car door: "Mr. Li, Miss asked me to greet Mr. Ikeda." β
Zhu Tong was not polite and sat in the back seat silently. It was Kazuo Ikeda's son who drove the car.
"Sir, Miss's temper has always been bad, she is still young, please bear with her. Driving and staying safe. β
Kazuo Ikeda has been running at both ends of the Tokyo Kyutsu recently, and he stayed in Kyutsu last night, so there was not much communication between Zhu Tong and him.
It is said that Kazuo Ikeda and Zhu Tong have the deepest relationship, and if it were not for that car accident, Zhu Tong would not have come to Yukimoto, and then get to know Yukimi Iike and even get involved in the current whirlpool.
Maybe it's because of his personality, maybe it's because Kazuo Ikeda is relatively low-key, and the relationship between the two of them has always been in a stage where it is not salty or light; The friendship between Zhu Tong and Matsui is even deeper.
"Miss said that Mr. can continue to stay in Jiujin and finish what needs to be done." Kazuo Ikeda said again.
Zhu Tong said thank you, and wondered in his heart, what is the purpose of Jingchi Yukimi doing this?
The young lady also said that she would forgive her for her faux pas. Mrs. Wilson occasionally contracted a cold, and she needed to accompany her on the ranch, and she would not come to Jiujin in the short term. β
"Oh." That's a bit interesting, Zhu Tong smiled at the corner of his mouth; "What else did the young lady say?"
"The young lady also said that if the negotiations go well, let me sign the document on behalf of the Iike Foundation." Kazuo Ikeda didn't know what happened at Sekiji Temple two hours ago, but Yukimi Iike's sudden decision made him realize that there had been a subtle change in the relationship between the "divine doctor Li Xiang" and the young lady. Maybe......
Kazuo Ikeda has always been cautious and not as reckless as Hui Heji, and he also knows that no matter what his relationship with the young lady, "Divine Doctor Li Xiang" can be regarded as a figure who cannot be easily offended.
"I won't use Kaede Lu anymore, so I'll ask Mr. Ikeda to take the trouble and arrange another place to stay."
"As long as the gentleman needs it." Kazuo Ikeda confirmed that the engagement between Zhu Tong and Miss Yukimi Iike had been canceled.
There was no word all the way, and at dawn, the car drove into the gate of Jiutsu.
Ye Er **** didn't sleep, she kept sitting under the corridor outside the Wu Gate.
Zhu Tong came to her with a tired body, sat down, and looked at her stupidly.
"Miss Yukimi." Ye Er slowly retracted and opened her eyes.
"It's over." Zhu Tong leaned down and let his head close to Ye'er's warm embrace; "It's all over, I'm free now, and the marriage contract has been annulled."
Ye'er hugged him gently. Miss Jingchi Xuemei didn't come back, Ye Er thought, Zhu Tong must have suffered a very heavy blow. He's so proud, he's always been proud.
"It's like an arrow, I really want to go back now and go to the Broken Snow Garden to see her old man." Zhu Tong said in a low voice.
Ye Er caressed Zhu Tong's cheeks, bearded chin, and dry lips with warm hands; I hope to share the weight of some men.
"When I was a kid, I always wished I had a mom. I asked the master, where am I from and where is my mother? Master's answer was always ruthless, and I didn't dare to ask again. Later, when I grew up and left Master, I traveled too many places and met too many people. Once, three years ago, on a night train. A mother was standing in the aisle with her baby in her arms, and I gave her my seat. It's more comfortable to see her sit down than it is to see me sit down. Later, when the next guest arrived, the mother put the child in her seat, knelt beside him, and used a newspaper to ward off mosquitoes for him. Three young men came to the carriage, and when they saw a small child occupying two seats, they asked the mother to pick the child up. However, the mother said that the child was sick and had not slept for a day. They didn't believe it and kept making noise, waking the child up. I hit someone, and that time, I hit someone for no reason. They are too young and too egotistical to understand the difficulties of a mother going out with her child. Ye'er, am I doing something wrong? I removed their wrists. β
"You're right, they should be taught a lesson, but don't be so heavy next time. They are still children and have mothers. Ye Er comforted in a low voice.
"But, I miss Mom." At this moment, Zhu Tong showed a rare weakness, he was so tired that he needed to rest, even if it was only for a moment.
"We'll be back soon." Ye Er felt that her palms were wet, and a soft snoring sounded in her arms.
Looking down, tears oozed from the corners of Zhu Tong's eyes, and he was already asleep.
What he just said was a dream?
At eight o'clock in the morning, Matsui Heishi rushed to Jiujin ahead of schedule. Zhu Tong is waiting in a ** courtyard in the deepest part of Jiujin, which is called Flower Thorn, and the previous owner is the Nomura Flower Sea who has just passed away.
The two had a secret conversation for an hour, and the expression on their faces was not relaxed.
At nine-ten-point, Smith and Lord Hamilton arrived in Jiujin in four cars with their respective assistants.
At 9:30 a.m., Fuhua Shipbuilding's cooperation negotiations continued.
Lord Hamilton brought a new assistant, a white male with a calm expression, probably about forty years of age. According to reports, his name is Peter, and his identity is Lord Hamilton's senior partner.
As soon as the relevant personnel sat down at the negotiation table, Zhu Tong proposed to negotiate additional clauses first. He said that only when he knew the penalties for non-compliance would he be more careful in formal negotiations.
Mr. Smith protested, saying it was a waste of time.
Zhu Tong gritted his teeth and insisted that the following negotiations would not be carried out without passing the additional terms, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and in the quarrel, the morning time passed.
In the afternoon, the negotiation table was still full of gunpowder, and Matsui Pingzhi and Chen Yiyi came in to persuade and put forward two sets of compromise plans, both of which were vetoed by Zhu Tong and Smith.
At four o'clock, Smith withdrew from the negotiations again and left Jiujin first.
Lord Hamilton stayed behind and began to mediate with Zhu Tong on the details of the additional clause, seeking a compromise that would be acceptable to both parties.
The negotiation was much more modest, and Lord Hamilton's assistant, the senior partner named Peter, consulted Zhu Tong on the additional clauses one by one, and asked what could be worked, and the bottom line for concessions.
Zhu Tong explained his position very carefully, and there were a total of twelve additional terms, and once it came down, it was dark.
It was agreed that Lord Hamilton and Peter would consult Smith on the additional terms the next morning, and that they would come back in the afternoon to talk to Zhu Tong. So, the negotiations will be postponed for a day. In other words, tomorrow Zhu Tong and Smith don't have to quarrel at the negotiating table.
On the other hand, the negotiations between the expert groups of the two sides will continue without interference.
Seeing Lord Hamilton away, Zhu Tong immediately summoned Xie Jing and Yu Lan to a meeting.
"I need a sum of money, no matter what channel it is, it must be remitted to Yuben within three days." Zhu Tong wants money straight to the point.
"How much?" Yu Lan asked.
"The more appointments you make, the more you need to pay at least $5 million. Take one percent of the shares of Xuyang Group in my name as collateral. Zhu Tong said.
As we all know, Director Li owns 1 percent of the shares and 1 percent of the options of Fuhua Shipbuilding, and 1 percent of the shares of Xuyang Group is a recent matter. In the current situation, the shares of Xuyang Group are more reliable than those of Fuhua Shipbuilding.
"Donghai Investment took it." Yu Lan readily agreed.
Zhu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xie Jing, "Miss Xie, can the silver gun help me send this money in?" I need cash. β
"Five million dollars is not a small amount, three days is a bit tight, but ...... Not a big problem. Xie Jing gritted her teeth and made a guarantee.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, at Kyoto's Tohana Gin Sake House, Zhu Tong and Matsui Heishi were waiting for Mr. Smith.
In one hour is April 10, and as US Senator Lehman arrives closer to his visit, one more day of delay would mean even greater risk.
From nine o'clock to eleven o'clock, the two have already negotiated the relevant matters of the Orton company, and starting tomorrow, Chen Yiyi and Matsui Heizhi will begin to go through the formal procedures. Matsui will submit his resignation at the board of directors of United Ships tomorrow afternoon, separate the Orton Company from United Ships, and sign a cooperation agreement with Fuhua Shipbuilding first.
"Seems a little bit bad. How was the conversation between you and Ms. Yukimi? "Matsui Heizhi held back for a day, and he waited until he finished talking about business before asking Zhu Tong, which is already very remarkable. The affairs of the Orton company need the cooperation of the Ichi family, and they only talk about it, and it seems that something is missing.
"She needs time." Zhu Tong said in general.
"Could there be any problems?"
"Maybe, but ......" Zhu Tong didn't want to discuss this;" I promise, she will support us. Ping Zhijun, there is a golf course near Osaka, called Kirida Course, does Ping Zhijun know? β
"My uncle is a member of Kirida Stadium." Matsui Heishi wondered, how could Zhu Tong ask about a golf course for no reason? I don't have the impression that he has a hobby of playing golf.
"Fifteenth, sixteenth, if Ping Zhijun wants to play, is there a problem?" Zhu Tong asked again.
"Make a reservation five days in advance, it should be fine. Does Mr. Lee want to play? "Matsui is getting weirder and weirder; The negotiations are at a critical juncture, why does Zhu Tong have the idea of playing golf.
"You'd better call and ask, Mr. Lehman might be going to play at Kiritian Stadium." Zhu Tong handed over a document showing Senator Lehman's itinerary for his first two visits to Yueben.
"That's right." Matsui Heishi picked up his mobile phone and gave it to his uncle and asked him to contact Kirida Course to arrange a two-day fairway on the 15th and 16th.
"You're going to see Mr. Lehman?" Matsui put down the phone and asked; "But what can you say to him?"
"It's not just me, Ping Zhijun should ask a friend with status to play with us." Zhu Tong is looking through a stack of materials, which records the interaction between Matsui Shiki and the political circles, which is the political legacy left by the old man to Matsui Heishi.
However, Grandpa said, these people can't be fully trusted, they only care about profit. I've left the Ichi family, and they won't care about me. β
"They're going to care about money. No politician is unbridled, and they are entangled with each other. I have prepared $4 million for Ping Zhijun, and I should be able to invite two weighty congressmen. β
"Perhaps, grandpa once took me to the house of these two men, and they should be willing to see me." Matsui Heishi picked up the information and looked at it for a while, pointing out two names.
