"Wu Zhi, go to the old place for a drink at noon. We will get together, and some things should be discussed!" Ning Zhiheng said with some references.

"Of course! I'm so happy, we'll see you later!" Takeshi Ishikawa agreed repeatedly.

After getting the phone, Ning Zhiheng turned around and said to Hirao Daichi, "I will first cancel the arrest of you through the relationship between the military police headquarters. As for the future situation, it depends on the background of this Kono Club. You can stay here and wait for me to come back!"

"Hi Yi! I obey your arrangements in everything. Thank you so much!" Hirao Daichi once again kowtowed to Ning Zhiheng for saluting gratitude.

"Akagi, arrange a room and clean it up for him first!" Ning Zhiheng looked at Hirao Dazhi, frowned, and ordered Yi Huaan.

"Hi Yi!"

"It's so rude! Please forgive me!" Hirao Daito also knew that the Japanese nobles were very particular about their appearance, and they looked too down and were a little embarrassed, and kowtowed again to salute.

At noon, in a wine room, Ning Zhiheng and Takeshi Ishikawa were raising their glasses to drink together, and sipped the sake in the glass.

Takeshi Ishikawa smiled and said, "Zhiren, when you come back this time, we brothers can work together. I have been waiting for today!"

"Of course, I am full of confidence when I come back this time!" Ning Zhiheng also smiled, "This time I brought back enough funds from Hong Kong, 100,000 US dollars! I am going to open a larger trading bank, also called Fujiwara Company. I keep my word. Wu Zhi, you don't have to pay a penny, even 10% of the shares!"

Hundreds of thousands of dollars? The wine glass in Takeshi Ishikawa's hand trembled and almost fell to the ground.

He never expected that Tomohito Fujiwara would be so big, and he had some savings at hand, but compared with this huge amount, he could not make any move!

According to Takeshi Ishikawa's original idea, his cooperation with Tomohito Fujiwara must have to put his own funds into this trading business. After all, he has no experience and time to do business, so everything depends on Tomohito Fujiwara, his friend.

Moreover, he was very clear about Tomohito Fujiwara's background and identity. Tomohito Fujiwara is not only a child of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, but more importantly, he is also the main person in charge of the intelligence department of the Central China Army, General Junhei Uehara's age-lost friends.

Any identity here is enough to make him believe that Tomohito Fujiwara will not greedy for his money, and his interests can be guaranteed, which is why he is keen on cooperating with Tomohito Fujiwara.

But now Fujiwara Tomohito suddenly said that, he invested a huge sum of $100,000 to build a trade deal. Takeshi Ishikawa suddenly hesitated. His savings were like a drop in the bucket. How could he occupy 10% of the shares?

One-tenth of the shares of the trading bank are not a small amount, worth a total of ten thousand US dollars, and even the value will be even more in the future.

Besides, he himself does not have to pay money, does not have to work, or takes risks, and then obtains huge profits, which is extremely unfair to Tomohito Fujiwara.

As for him, Takeshi Ishikawa, he was also extremely disgraceful. Takeshi Ishikawa is a child of the Ishikawa family. He himself could not be so shameless. Besides, he knew very well that if he did this, it would be difficult for him and Tomohito Fujiwara to maintain the previous equality and friendship, which was completely unworthy of the loss.

Seeing that Takeshi Ishikawa suddenly turned ugly, Ning Zhiheng immediately understood his inner thoughts and couldn't help but nod in his heart. This is a Japanese aristocratic young man with a bottom line. Although he has his own ambitions and desires, he also has self-esteem and arrogance. After all, he is unwilling to take the money in vain!

"What, Wu Zhi! Don't you want to? Haven't you always hoped that we can work together to make a career?" Ning Zhiheng continued to ask in surprise.

Takeshi Ishikawa gently placed the wine glass in his hand on the table, shook his head and said, "Zhiren, I thank you for your kindness, but you should know that if you do this, you will become my creditor, and I will become an immoral thief, a thief who uses our friendship to exchange for profit. I don't want to do this!"

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he couldn't help but say with guilt: "Sorry, Wu Zhi, I was not considerate. Well, how much money can you invest in your hands now?"

"I can get 16,000 yen in total, but I didn't expect you to invest so much?" Takeshi Ishiikawa said helplessly.

After all, he was just a disciple of the Ishii family. His family was average and not very wealthy. Later, he was unable to stand up and enlisted in the army. After coming to China, he did not get any chance to make a fortune. He was able to spend so much money, which was already a lot for a minor officer!

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said cheerfully: "No problem, then invest it all, I will still give you 10% of the shares."

After saying that, he reached out to stop what Ishikawa Takeshi was going to say next, and said again: "The remaining insufficient part will be compensated by your labor expenses."

“Labor Expenditure?”

"Yes, labor expenditure, Wu Zhi, you are the chief of the military police headquarters. This identity is very shocking to outsiders and can do a lot of things for our trading business.

Do you know? What products are the most profitable in China?”

"What product?" Takeshi Ishikawa asked in confusion.

Ning Zhiheng laughed and whispered in a mysterious way: "What are controlled commodities? What makes the most money!"

After the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they began to fully control the inflow of foreign materials, especially for military purposes. It is absolutely prohibited to enter mainland China, such as steel, steel pipes, cables, electric materials, gasoline, engine oil, automobiles, etc., especially medicines. These are all under the embargo and are also materials urgently needed by the Chinese government.

Even in the concession, it is difficult for these military supplies to enter Shanghai, because the Japanese established customs checkpoints at Wusongkou. All overseas supplies entering Shanghai must be inspected before they can enter the Huangpu River and dock in the dock warehouse in Pudong.

Only those smuggling merchants from Britain, the United States, France and other countries can rely on their power behind them to get some from overseas with their diplomatic privileges. However, to cope with the huge demand market in mainland China, this is a drop in the bucket, and it also causes the prices of these controlled materials to remain high and the profits are extremely generous.

"Zhiren, are you saying we are going to do smuggling business? Will there be risks in importing these controlled materials?" Takeshi Ishikawa couldn't help but hesitate.

"This is not smuggling, it's doing business! The lowest cost is exchanged for the greatest benefit! Besides, why do you think I have made so much wealth in just less than a year in Hong Kong?" Ning Zhiheng stepped forward and hugged his shoulder and explained in a low voice, "Wu Zhi, listen to me, you just need to find a way to make our goods pass through the Wusongkou Customs Checkpoint, and the rest is my business."

Seeing that Takeshi Ishikawa was still a little hesitant, Ning Zhiheng said again: "This matter is not difficult for you. Your military police headquarters has the right to issue a certificate to exempt the goods from inspection. After all, you are the highest department in charge of Shanghai's security work. Customs, police stations, and military police teams are all under your jurisdiction. You only need to stamp a certificate and our goods can pass through Wusongkou and enter the Huangpu River without any obstacles. Then I will transport the goods in at the concession dock.

Entering the Shanghai market, you have also said that Shanghai is the most suitable place for business in China. It has a population of more than 3 million and a large metropolis of more than 20 million in the surrounding area. If we throw our supplies into it, we won’t even make a wave. No one will notice us. Besides, you don’t have to worry. We are not reselling arms. We will never touch that kind of business. Other goods are not a problem. I am a child of the Fujiwara family, and I have the support of General Uehara behind me. What else can I have?”

Ning Zhiheng was very eloquent, and he talked very easily about the whole thing, and even brought out Junhei Uehara.

Takeshi Ishikawa thought carefully about what Ning Zhiheng said, and the more he thought, the more he made the more sense. Although he was just an intermediate officer, his position was very critical.

Ning Zhiheng is right. The military police headquarters is different from the garrison. It is the highest department in charge of various security work in Shanghai and has great power. For example, Yi Huaan's identity certificate can be easily handled by only Takeshi Ishikawa himself.

As long as Takeshi Ishikawa gets a certificate of exemption from the military police headquarters, the customs will not interfere with it. This may be a very difficult thing for others, but it is not a difficult thing for Takeshi Ishikawa.

What Ishikawa Takeshi valued more is what Ning Zhiheng said in the end. This disciple of the Fujiwara family has General Uehara as the backstage behind him. Smuggling some materials is not a big deal. Even if something really happens, it can be solved with just one word of General Uehara!

"Think about it, Wu Zhi, if we don't make any money, we will have to be earned by those British and Americans. Do you think the military really doesn't know they are smuggling? It is absolutely impossible for such a large commercial metropolis to have no smuggling activities!

They know it well, and we are just catching up in the middle and earning some price difference. This is not a big deal! How about it, don’t hesitate, there is an old Chinese saying, wealth and honor are in danger, without paying? How can there be a generous reward? Besides, this is not a difficult thing for you and me!"
