Xiao Chen 'faithfully' fulfilled his promise to Li Wanjiang. Now he is just a bare-bones governor who has released his military power. The city is wide open, just waiting for Qin Gang to throw himself into his arms.
Xiao Chen has to wait not only for Qin Gang, but also for an important person, Nako Kudo.
Before Xiao Chen left for Myanmar, he contacted the Japanese envoys who stayed in Fengyang City and asked them to send a letter back, saying that he would wait for them in Changshan Prefecture to send someone to contact him.
He also hinted to the envoy that he only trusted Miss Kudo Nako. If she had not come in person, our negotiations might have been quite difficult...
Of course, it cannot be said that Xiao Chen is pretending to be a public servant for personal gain, because Miss Naiko's identity is there.
"Xiao Chen, how could you let a woman come to such an important matter of contacting Japan?" Chen Jisheng seemed to have guessed what Xiao Chen was thinking, and suddenly said this.
"Ah?" Xiao Chen just swallowed a piece of noodles and sprayed it out from his nose, "Naiko is here?"
When everyone saw their boss being embarrassed, they didn't dare to laugh even if they wanted to, and all of them suppressed their faces and turned red...
"Look at you, do you still look like a governor?" Chen Jisheng was angry and funny. "You get excited when it comes to women. Have you fallen in love with me again?"
I guessed most of them right.
"Where is she?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Boss, I have put them under house arrest." Liu Mofeng said hurriedly.
"Oh, why are they still locked up... But you did the right thing, they? How many came in total?" Xiao Chen said.
"Four people, a woman calls herself Nako Kudo, a middle-aged man named Gozo Miyamoto, a man who looks like a monkey named Yoshiro Kinoshita, and a man in his fifties named Yokoji Sato." Liu Mofeng
road.
"Oh? I don't recognize anyone except Nako. Have they reported their numbers? What kind of work are they doing?" Xiao Chen thought they were the ones from Shicun Nishimura.
"It's just that they are accompanying samurai, protecting Nako Kudo. I think there may be other identities, but since they are Japanese, it's hard to find out, and they can't use torture to extract confessions..." Liu Mofeng clearly got Xiao's permission in advance.
Chen’s letter, otherwise what do you think?
"That's absolutely impossible. They are here to discuss cooperation with us...Old man, why are you so embarrassed? Do you have any suggestions?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Chen Jisheng was a little smiling when he first met Xiao Chen, but then he became stern all the time. I don't know why?
There are many reasons. First of all, this kid shouldn't have risked his life and went to negotiate with the pirates himself! This is just a lucky chance that he came back safely. What can you do if something happens?
I heard from Wu Hanming and others that this kid went to Java alone to attend the Hongmen Banquet of Prince Ullman, and also provoked a very powerful enemy on Paradise Island. This was fine, but when he encountered a sea monster on his return trip, he unexpectedly
Go fight the sea monster yourself...
Just tell me if it makes you mad!
Yes, you are lucky. You have survived these catastrophes safely, but how much luck can you have in this life to bring you such misfortune?
How many times have I told you but you just don’t listen!
"So you are still willing to listen to what I say?" Chen Jisheng said coldly.
"What's wrong with you old man? I just came back and I didn't provoke you, right?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Boss, my adoptive father is angry with you for repeatedly putting yourself in danger..." Liu Xiangqin whispered.
"Uh... I was wrong!" Xiao Chen was moved in his heart, but his attitude in admitting his mistake was very arrogant.
"It's no use just knowing your mistakes. You need to correct them if you know them! Sooner or later, you will scratch out my heart... How are you going to talk to the Japanese people?" In front of so many people, Chen Jisheng said
It's not easy to blame Xiao Chen too much, after all, he is the boss of the big guys.
"Now we are begging for help passively and have to wait for them to ask for high prices so that we can pay back the money on the spot." Xiao Chen said.
"Boss is wrong. Although we are asking for something from him in this cooperation, from another perspective, they are also asking for something from me. Therefore, we must not be passive during negotiations, otherwise they will push forward." Ye Baiqing said.
"I think they are more anxious than us. They sent people here before we could send them. Judging from this, we may have a little more initiative." Liu Cong recounted.
"It depends on how we talk about it. Boss, do you represent Li Wanjiang or our Yanyun County?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"No matter who you represent, you cannot compromise on issues of principle!" Chen Jisheng said, "But other aspects are negotiable."
"The way I see it, they won't make any unreasonable demands. They just want preferential treatment and convenience for doing business with us." Shangguan Qiji suddenly said.
Seeing everyone looking at me with strange eyes, he quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk too much. You can talk to me."
"What advice does Qiji have? But it doesn't hurt to talk. We are having a chat over a meal, and this is not a formal meeting." Chen Jisheng said.
"Hey, I heard from Saji Zuoyama and the others that Japan has suffered from frequent natural disasters in recent years, and the food harvest has been poor for many years. Although it has slowed down a bit in recent years, many people still don't have enough to eat, and their various supplies are extremely poor.
There is a shortage, especially of coal and steel..." Shangguan Qiji really started talking eloquently.
Japan has developed quite rapidly in recent years, but due to the extreme shortage of various domestic materials, it needs a large amount of imported supplies.
The Han Dynasty had some trading activities with them before, but since Li Wanjiang came to the throne, the domestic situation has not been very stable. In order to prevent foreign enemies, they have been forced to adopt seclusion measures.
As a result, Japan will no longer be able to obtain any supplies from Dazhou.
The relationship between them and the Russians was very tense, and there were constant conflicts, large and small, so naturally there was no room for commercial cooperation.
In desperation, we can only import the required supplies from the distant southern Xinjiang and the other side of the ocean. This is obviously not a long-term solution.
So they are now eager to break this deadlock, and it is a God-given opportunity to cooperate with Da Zhou to expel the Rus from Tongfeng Port!
On the surface, this seems to be just a temporary campaign cooperation, but if the cooperation between the two parties is happy, it will definitely progress to the next step of strategic cooperation!
Forming a strategic alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty to jointly fight against the powerful Rus Empire is the real purpose of the Japanese people.
In order to achieve this goal, they will never worry about small things.
"What Qiji said makes sense." Chen Jisheng nodded in agreement.
"Fat man, I think you might as well stop being a medical officer and become a diplomat, okay?" Xiao Chen said.
"Then it depends on the salary." Shangguan Qiji grinned happily.
"I will meet them tonight." Xiao Chen said.
"Boss, why don't you let me talk to them first? No matter what they say, I will deal with them, so that you can leave some room." Ye Baiqing said, "They are already here anyway, are you afraid that they will run away?
