Chapter 476 Takemotos Oath (congratulations to the new alliance leader Yuyu, additional update 14)
Chapter 476 Takemoto’s Oath (congratulations to the new alliance leader Yuyu, additional update 14)
When the search was started, not only the Hosokawa family offered a reward, but many Japanese businessmen were also offering rewards. One businessman even offered a reward of 50,000 yen, and anyone who could help him find Tomotaka Hosokawa could claim it.
This bounty.
It's a pity that everyone failed to do so in the end.
Now that Lord Konoe has come to power and the two major families of Hosokawa Konoe are getting married, Hosokawa Tomotaka's influence has once again increased.
Matsumoto was very happy that Tomotaka Hosokawa could write to him.
I couldn't wait to open the letter, and Jihyo's handwriting was still so beautiful.
It was a very ordinary letter. First of all, I expressed my longing for him and said that I would come back if I had the opportunity to talk with him at night by candlelight and discuss great literature together.
The second step was to explain his situation. He didn’t want to return to China and was worried that he would be forcibly taken back by his family, so he couldn’t come to see him in person. Please forgive Matsumoto.
Finally, the subject was named. His best classmate, Toru Ishihara, who saved his life, approached him to intercede. Major Takemoto of the Military Police had been promoted to major for three years. Does he meet the criteria for promotion to lieutenant colonel?
If so, can I be promoted?
Takemoto said nothing and was still controlling his heartbeat.
Fang Shiyi said with a smile, while Takemoto shook his head: "No, please tell Mr. Ishihara that I am Takemoto from the Military Police. I will wait for him here."
Takemoto was surprised to hear Commander Matsumoto summoning him.
One and a half million US dollars have been spent, and Chu Lingyun really does not lack this amount of money.
"Tomorrow you go to see General Matsumoto and give him this guqin as a thank you."
"merchant?"
The sulfonamide business has been booming. Smith sent a telegram not long ago asking for a large sum of money to open a factory in the United States to manufacture sulfonamide.
Inoue was in a daze and didn't understand why the Major was so excited.
Chu Lingyun pushed the gift box over again. He really didn't lack a few gold bars.
This is his first time here. Ishihara Trading Company is indeed quite big and has a big reputation.
"My subordinate just met him a few days ago. Hiroshi Ishihara is a very successful businessman."
"Okay, but it usually takes a few hours for our boss to come back. Are you sure you want to wait?"
In addition to literature, Matsumoto also likes to play the piano. His piano skills, like his literary talent, are not outstanding.
Moreover, it is not just the United States, there are also sulfonamide pharmaceutical companies in Europe.
Takemoto was moved. He finally understood that Ishihara-kun did not dislike it because of the lack of money. That piano was something he could not afford. Ishihara-kun specially took it for him, just to let him follow the path of General Matsumoto.
Returning to his office, he immediately called Soushi Inoue. Inoue was the link between him and Hiroshi Ishihara. When he visited Ishihara-kun, he had to take him with him.
After reading the letter, Matsumoto fell into deep thought.
"Very good, that's how it should be. Let's take the things back. It's getting dark. Let's have something to eat together and then go back early."
Now the patent authorization is in Chu Lingyun's personal hands.
Inoue was still a little confused, but he had to listen to what Major Takemoto said.
This Takemoto turned out to be Major.
"Ishihara-kun, thank you very much this time. This is a small gift. It is not disrespectful. Please accept it."
If he connects with Hosokawa Tomotaka through Ishihara Hiroshi, his chances of being promoted to general will be much higher in the future.
Fang Shiyi called to inform him that he could not contact the boss directly and had to relay it through someone else.
After preparing gifts, I took Inoue and Takemoto to the car and quickly arrived at Ishihara Trading Company.
If you make it yourself, you can definitely reduce the cost a lot and earn more.
There was a long distance between him and the commander, and it was difficult to see the commander in person. Commander Matsumoto suddenly summoned him, and he immediately thought of what he had asked Ishihara Hiroshi to do last time.
Below are three ancient Japanese books, and above are five gold bars.
Moreover, Ikegami has to perform several more meritorious deeds before he has a chance, but Takemoto has already done it?
That young businessman who ran a humble shop back then turned out to be so powerful?
No wonder Major Takemoto's attitude is different today. This is the reason.
Obviously, he is based on Takemoto.
Standing in front of General Matsumoto, Takemoto tried to calm down his mood.
Nowadays, there are many places where wars are going on, but the real war is only with China. They have given the agency to Smith. This is indeed the most beneficial thing for them.
My own Major could be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, not to mention Warrant Officer Inoue.
After he left, Chu Lingyun opened the box directly.
How did they know that in more than a year the whole world will face a war, and the price of sulfa will be even higher by then.
It takes three hours to arrive, which is very fast.
Ishihara-kun is really powerful, he helped him accomplish this in just a few days, otherwise General Matsumoto would not have asked him about it.
"In addition, you can take these things back. I don't need them. When Takemoto-kun is in a high position in the future, just help me."
Promoted to lieutenant colonel a year earlier, he would have a better chance of becoming a general.
Takemoto raised his hand, truly initiating the oath.
Chu Lingyun knew very well that Matsumoto liked literature, but Matsumoto's literary talent was really average.
"And you need to be promoted to lieutenant colonel or colonel as quickly as possible. Only when you reach a high position will I need you."
Matsumoto was a little surprised, and then asked: "How old is he?"
"Ishihara-kun isn't here?"
It was also the case with Ikegami before. A captain actually respected a businessman so much that he even took the businessman as his main priority.
The pharmaceutical company also thought about it for a long time. While selling the license, it also required them to continue to perform the previous agency contract, and the annual goods received from their factory should not be less than 1.5 million US dollars.
Takemoto was startled and said hurriedly, while Chu Lingyun walked over and took his arm: "Mr. Takemoto, I have received your wish. It's not that I don't think the money is small, it's that it's unnecessary. I have eight thousand dollars for this piano."
The yen I collected, this piano alone is not enough, in the future I will help you give General Matsumoto more things he likes, including money."
Chu Lingyun made it clear this time that he was investing.
Below this amount, they have the right to withdraw the production authorization of sulfa.
He could tell that it was indeed Hosokawa Tomotaka's handwriting, but he was not a handwriting expert. Some people these days are very good at imitating other people's handwriting.
The most important thing is that Hiroshi Ishihara can help him be promoted to lieutenant colonel. Is Hiroshi Ishihara so powerful?
This is all important information. It just so happens that his investigation of Ishihara Trading Company and Hiroshi Ishihara is basically completed, so he will report back together.
Takemoto was wearing plain clothes. He was here for a visit. He was afraid it would be impolite to wear a military uniform. Fang Shiyi didn't know he was a major.
Chu Lingyun has handed over this matter to Liu Chengzhu. China must have its own pharmaceutical factory, so that the price of sulfa can be brought down in the future and more people can be saved.
Takemoto lowered his head, said respectfully, and pushed the gift over.
Chu Lingyun chuckled, while Fang Shiyi was shocked.
After long negotiations with the pharmaceutical company, he finally negotiated a patent license of US$1.5 million, which they could afford.
Chu Lingyun got up and went outside to get the guqin, a tung wood thirteen-string instrument.
As soon as he came in, Chu Lingyun took the initiative to apologize. After receiving the news, he needed to go to the safe house to put on makeup. The makeup alone took more than an hour.
"Thank you, General."
"Takemoto-kun, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
His military pay is quite large. The various monthly allowances combined are almost 200 yen, but he has to send part of it back to his family. He still has a wife and children to support at home.
The pharmaceutical factory has limited production capacity and cannot produce that much, so it is better to make a profit first by selling the license.
The Major of the Gendarmerie is of a high rank.
Matsumoto nodded lightly. It is not easy to be evaluated as a successful businessman. The scale of the business is definitely not small.
While Inosue went to clean up, Takemoto was thinking about what kind of gift would be appropriate.
"Ishihara-kun, I know I am not as rich as you, but this is my heart."
"Do you know a man named Ishihara Hiroshi?" General Matsumoto asked directly without letting Takemoto sit down.
"Very young, only in his early twenties."
As long as Toru Ishihara is willing, he believes that Inoue will be promoted much faster than him.
"I have read your file. It has been three years since you were promoted to Major. You have made a lot of contributions before. I will report for you next time you are promoted. You can go back first."
"General, are you looking for me?"
Chu Lingyun said softly, Zhuben didn't know much about Guqin, but at first glance, this Qin was extraordinary. It was very simple and beautiful. The value of this Qin was definitely not low.
But I can't help but he likes it.
"yes."
After helping him so much, the gift shouldn't be too light, but Ishihara Hiroshi was not short of money, and he didn't have enough money to send it.
Matsumoto was completely relieved and immediately called Takemoto. He had no impression of Takemoto. After all, he was a major general and Takemoto was just a major.
Another member of the military police. He knew that Inoue was in the military police. Today, Inoue followed Takemoto beside him and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
"Come here, let's take these two things for identification to see if they were written by the same person."
But Takemoto's introduction caught his attention.
"The boss is usually outside and doesn't come in often. Why don't you leave your contact information and I'll let the boss contact you?"
"Young and promising."
Is Hiroshi Ishihara really so powerful that he helped him accomplish this?
With excitement, he carefully arranged his clothes and image, and soon arrived at General Matsumoto's office.
Adding the rest from his usual fishing, he only managed to save five gold bars.
Takemoto didn't call before, so he couldn't see anyone.
Fang Shiyi sent them to the tea room, made tea and asked them to wait.
Fang Shiyi explained again, Takemoto did not hesitate: "Wait."
The identification results came out quickly and were written by the same person.
It seems that what he said is right, and he does have a deep relationship with Hosokawa Tomotaka.
Inoue was surprised again. He didn't expect that Mr. Ishihara would open the box in front of Takemoto. He noticed that Major Takemoto next to him also had a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"Don't ask. Remember, you must respect Mr. Ishihara. He will be of great help to you in the future."
With this authorization, he can even directly open a factory in China to produce sulfa.
In this way, you can not only retain big customers, continue to make money, but also earn an additional 1.5 million.
"Takemoto-kun, I said, we are a family."
"It seems you don't know enough, please wait a moment."
And his attitude towards Chu Lingyun shocked Fang Shiyi even more. After waiting here for three hours, he actually said he hadn't waited long and was so polite.
Sales cannot be restricted due to authorization, this is their bottom line.
After Chu Lingyun found out, she immediately asked Smith to agree.
"It's okay, we didn't wait long."
Inoue was stunned again. Ishihara Toru actually helped Takemoto get promoted. This was from Major to Lieutenant Colonel, not from Captain Ikegami to Major.
Although Takemoto is a major, he doesn't have many opportunities to make money. If he wasn't in the Military Police, he wouldn't even be able to make the money.
"Going to see Mr. Ishihara, why?"
The shares of the pharmaceutical company are also 10%, and will be increased step by step depending on future sales, with the maximum not exceeding 20%. You must know that this time the patent fee of 1.5 million US dollars was entirely paid by Chu Lingyun.
of.
This is the work of a famous Japanese master, and the value of this guqin is more than 8,000 yen.
"Takemoto-kun, do you know what General Matsumoto likes the most?"
In the end, the pharmaceutical company agreed. Anyway, as long as they retained their big customer, the pharmaceutical company could guarantee sales of its annual production.
After a while, he took out a notebook, which contained articles written by Tomataka Hosokawa before.
In the letter, Tomotaka Hosokawa made it very clear: If it is difficult to do, don’t do it.
Smith is now very motivated in the United States. He has made bold promises to increase the production capacity of the new pharmaceutical factory to US$5 million per year, helping them make more money.
It took three full hours, when it was almost dark, before Chu Lingyun rushed back.
"Inoue, pack up immediately and accompany me to see Mr. Ishihara."
No wonder Chishang respects and admires him so much. He finally understands now.
Invest in Takemoto’s future.
"Judging from your appearance, General Matsumoto must have received Tomohaka's letter and promoted you to Lieutenant Colonel, right?"
However, no matter how similar the imitation is, it is not the person after all, and real experts can see the flaws in it.
Takemoto was overjoyed and bowed deeply. Ishihara-kun's energy was really great. Things that were very difficult for him were accomplished so easily.
Chu Lingyun asked. Takemoto calmed down and replied softly: "I don't know much about General Matsumoto's hobbies. I only heard that he prefers literature and drinking tea."
He asked Chu Lingyun to increase his shares, but Chu Lingyun refused.
Takemoto's attitude towards Ishihara changed greatly and he was very respectful. Fang Shiyi came to help and gave him a strange look.
They were authorized to sell the sulfonamides they produced at will. Chu Lingyun specifically asked Smith to bring this up during the negotiations.
I must thank him properly this time, and Inoue, he is really his blessed general. He was just taking care of his comrade's brother because of his comrades in arms, but he didn't expect that it would bring such great benefits to himself.
"Ishihara-kun, please accept my thanks again. I swear that as long as I am within my ability, I will do my best and help you wholeheartedly."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded to Fang Shiyi, who hurriedly retreated.
After much thought, Takemoto decided to bring a few gold bars and a few treasured ancient books. This was his hobby. He only had these things and there was really nothing he could do.
Chu Lingyun nodded with satisfaction. Takemoto was completely on board with him this time.
And it's the kind that focuses on him and is especially grateful to him.
Ikegami, Takemoto, and Ishihara Trading Company had caught a future major and a future lieutenant. With just the information they could get, Chu Lingyun could recoup all his investment several times.
