Chapter 198 Twenty Years Ago

The brand is not big, about the thickness of a finger and about the size of a palm.

There are precise patterns on the surface, and the color is yellow wood. It looks like a piece of dead wood that is not very beautiful, but it has a faint fragrance. In the center of the brand, there is a strong black and red character in official script - Hong

!

It has a good pressing feel and there are oily crystals on the surface.

As the old steward of the Tokugawa family, or the Tokugawa Foundation, Masaru Sakai has seen many rare treasures. The moment he bought the brand, he realized that it was a precious agarwood, and it had been accumulated over the years.

old agarwood.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a rare treasure. After all, it is just a brand that represents status, but this kind of thing is not something that ordinary rich people can own.

That's why Sakai Masaru took out this sign before the owner of the house asked him to leave, because he felt that the young man outside the door was unusual. He was definitely not what the investigation said, he was just an ordinary club member.

Sure enough, the moment he took out the sign, the face of the Tokugawa family leader changed.

Facing the emotional Tokugawa Mitsunari at this moment, the old housekeeper couldn't help but ask:

"Master, the other person is right outside the door. Do you want me to invite him in?"

Tokugawa Mitsunari, who took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, shouted with extremely hot eyes:

"Quick, please invite the other party in!"

The old housekeeper nodded and left the room immediately. Tokugawa Mitsunari, who was watching the other party leave, was clenching his fists and looking back with excitement in his eyes.

That was in the 1970s, almost twenty years ago.

At that time, Tokugawa Mitsunari was still very young and went to Hong Kong with the twelfth generation of the Tokugawa Foundation.

In the 1970s, Neon had a Yan plan.

Using neon as the head of the swallow and planting flowers as the body, we jointly build an Asian community comparable to the European Union. This plan has won the support of many people.

When Tokugawa Mitsumasa went to Hong Kong, he wanted to use this as a springboard to finally reach cooperation with flower growers.

Of course, this is just a superficial statement. The real intention is that neon resources are scarce and unable to support the country's rapid development.

In order to seek breakthroughs, flower growers with vast territory and abundant resources are the best choice.

The plan went smoothly at first. Although the ghosts didn't like Neon, they didn't want Xiangjiang to return to the hands of the flower growers, because the former only regarded Xiangjiang as a transit port, while the latter really wanted to build and develop here.

.

Once Xiangjiang is built, what will happen to them?

So the two sides hit it off and decided to jointly erode Xiangjiang, but when they saw that this part of Xiangjiang's plan was about to be completed.

Tokugawa Mitsumasa's father received a letter, and the new content was very simple.

There is a street in Xiangjiang called Wutong Street. No matter what means are used, as long as they can occupy this street within a week, the flower growers can accept cooperation, but what if they can't?

Except for John Bull on the surface, all foreign forces must withdraw from Hong Kong.

For this condition, the top management of Neon and John Bull quickly agreed. Although many people thought that this was just a last ditch effort for the flower growers, the population of the flower growers at that time was close to one billion. This was a force that should not be underestimated.

power.

John Bull doesn't care because their home is on the other side of the sea.

But Neon needs to build factories in flower growers, and the attitude of the flower growers must be taken into consideration.

Although John Bull was not happy, he finally agreed.

However, the development of facts surprised everyone.

In the next week, Wutong Street was filled with blood.

This incident has not been published in newspapers, only fragments remain in the memories of older generations. It is said that the ground was covered with corpses, and in some low-lying places, the blood could even flood the ankles.

Even after seven or eight years, a special smell still lingers in the air on Wutong Street, which is said to be the smell of death.

Of course, Neon will not give up just because of this setback.

After seeing the power that real strong men can unleash in war, Tokugawa Mitsunari's father strongly supported the fighting industry and built an underground fighting arena at the bottom of the Tokyo Dome.

But what makes Tokugawa Mitsunari regretful is...

After his father's death, he inherited his father's legacy and didn't wait for him to train strong men for Neon.

Coming from the other side of the sea, feeling the increasingly serious threat of neon lights, Yingjiang, who felt vaguely uneasy, decided to take action.

In 1985, the five countries led by Yingjiang forced a Plaza Accord to shatter Neon's economy.

Then came a long era of loss.

Finally, with the help of the whole country and the support of Tokugawa Mitsunari, Neon cultivated a group of top fighters who were powerful enough to influence the war on a small scale.

But from the 1980s to the mid-1990s, Neon has lost the financial resources and courage it once had after a long period of wear and tear.

I used to be physically strong, but the blade in my hand was weak.

The blade in his hand is sharp now, but his body is decayed and he is no longer as brave as he once was.

Even for a century-old wealthy family, facing such neon lights, Tokugawa Mitsunari could only sigh and shake his head. With the fate of the country, today's neon lights are no longer the same neon lights as before.

But in the early 1990s.

After more than ten years, by chance, Tokugawa Mitsumasa was invited to Hong Kong due to some business matters.

Naturally, the day before he left, he went to Wutong Street. The surroundings had changed a lot. The streets had become tidy, and the ground was paved with a layer of gray-white cement. He didn't know if the soil underneath still had a pungent smell of blood.

.

It was on that day that the head of the Tokugawa family saw the man who single-handedly drove all foreign forces out of Hong Kong in a seemingly inconspicuous milk tea shop.

What was hanging on the other party's waist at that time was this agarwood sign!

Scenes from the past appeared before my eyes.

Tokugawa Mitsumasa's eyes are very complicated. Sometimes he wonders, if that man had not appeared back then, would the neon scene now be different?

But there is no regret medicine in this world. If you miss it, you have missed it. There is nothing to regret.

At forty, he has no doubts, and at fifty, he knows his destiny. Tokugawa Mitsumasa is now in his sixties, and he has already lived a clear life.

He knew very well that the person who came to him was definitely not the man who caused the bloody storm, but with this Hong character card, he, Tokugawa Mitsumasa, had to see him no matter what.

Ten minutes later, after walking through the long and elegant corridor, accompanied by a refreshing breeze, the old housekeeper opened the wooden door for Chen Changqing.

At the forefront of his sight was an old man wearing a black kimono. Although he had never seen him before, Chen Changqing knew that he was the current patriarch of the Tokugawa Consortium, a top chaebol leader with immense power.

Before Chen Changqing could speak, Tokugawa Mitsumasa looked sharply into Chen Changqing's eyes:

"What does the owner of this brand have to do with you?"

Chen Changqing did not know the relationship between the old man and Tokugawa Mitsunari.

He called to ask before, but the old man didn't say anything. He simply told Chen Changqing that if he encounters trouble that cannot be solved in Neon, he can take this agarwood sign to the Tokugawa Foundation.

Chen Changqing, who looked at the other party's sharp eyes and felt something was a little abnormal, did not reveal the master-disciple relationship between himself and Hong Zhen, but said in a joking tone:

"What if I said I picked it up?"

Regarding Chen Changqing's statement, Tokugawa Mitsumasa shook his head and denied it firmly:

"I don't believe it."

As a person involved, no one knows how terrifying that man is better than him.

In the first meeting more than 20 years ago, the other party's strength had already reached the level of a top fighter. In the second meeting a few years ago, although the other party did not make a move.

But Tokugawa Mitsumasa felt the aura of returning to nature in the other party.

This shows that the opponent's strength has gone further and has reached a level that ordinary people cannot imagine. And a strong man of this level will never lose items that represent his identity at will.

So he didn't believe Chen Changqing's statement at all.

Looking at Tokugawa Mitsumasa's determined eyes, Chen Changqing shook his head, with a slight smile on his lips and a serious tone: "The brand is not important, the important thing is that I am here to cooperate."

Tokugawa Mitsumasa raised his eyebrows, with a bit of confusion in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
