Ida, an uninvited guest, came to Zhang's house. Although Zhang Jinshan didn't care on the surface, he was actually worried about Ida's arrival. He didn't know what tricks the Japanese would pull off this time.
In the living room of Zhang Mansion, Zhang Jinshan and Jing Tian were both talking very awkwardly.
The expression on Zhang Jinshan's face was still very calm, and he said, "Your Excellency Colonel Ida! What Zhang and I say are all the truth! You must believe it! We have always been at odds with your Imperial Army in North China. You
Look, no matter what your cooperation is this time, I can't make the decision! Although I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, our Chamber of Commerce has regulations on many things, and I can't make the decision privately. The rules of this Chamber of Commerce are not
I can make changes if I can, and all the merchants must agree unanimously! I’m not cute enough to make the decision with them!”
"Haha! Mr. Zhang, I heard that he is very powerful in North China! Those merchants are all following you. Now, if you tell me this, can I understand that you don't treat our Japanese emperor?
The army takes it seriously!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Zhang Jinshan didn't know what to say now! It seems that he will not stop if this well field does not serve his purpose. "Your Excellency, Colonel! It seems that you really don't understand.
What about us businessmen! How can we really help you?"
Ida stood up from his chair, made a stop gesture, and said, "Mr. Zhang is not being polite to you now. To be honest, Mr. Zhang, you also know that our Japanese Imperial Army has always ignored you in North China."
, But, Mr. Zhang, the more kind we are to you, you seem to ignore our Japanese Imperial Army. You support your national industry and exclude all our goods. Do you think it is unjustifiable?
"
"Ouch! Mr. Colonel, you really misunderstood! It's hard to do business now. Business is all about what the people need. What do we sell? Nowadays, war is raging, and people's lives are difficult. It's natural that things are hard to sell.
Why would you blame us for such a water incident?" Xiangzi, who was sitting opposite, couldn't hold it in any longer, stood up and said to Ida with a smile.
After Xiangzi finished speaking, Ida's face became even more ugly! Your face turned dark just now, and he said angrily, "Mr. Zhang, who is this person? How dare he talk here? Don't the people in the Zhang family have any rules?"
Isn’t it said that the most important thing for Chinese people is rules? It’s not the turn of a servant to speak now, right?”
Zhang Jinshan smiled at Ida, but his face was not smiling, and there was a trace of worry on his face. Zhang Jinshan came to Ida and said cautiously, "His Excellency Colonel Ida, you misunderstood, this is my brother,
Although he is the steward of the Zhang Mansion, he is also my assistant in business and a member of our Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, really? Then it seems that I really misunderstood? I feel sorry for the housekeeper?" Ida said.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, you are too polite. In your eyes, this servant is just a servant." Xiangzi said.
Ida smiled at Zhang Jinshan and said, however, this time Ida did not have the previous discussion, it was like an order, "Mr. Zhang, I will give you time to think about it carefully. We, the Japanese Imperial Army, want to join your Chamber of Commerce, as long as we join
Yes, I will never treat you badly. Mr. Zhang can still dominate the North China region. He is the richest man in North China and the president of the North China Chamber of Commerce. I can satisfy you with all these things. You must take good care of it.
Think about it, Mr. Zhang shouldn’t give up on such a good condition!”
"Your Majesty Colonel, this...this..." Zhang Jinshan's face turned green, knowing that Ida might not have any good intentions. Ida had already controlled many things in North China, and the Chinese army was crushed by Ida everywhere in North China.
Ida has made enough money from trade in North China. Now, he still wants to control the Chamber of Commerce. Zhang Jinshan looks at Ida and wants to shoot him down. But now Japan is so rampant that we can't imagine it. Besides, Zhang Jinshan
The first-generation businessmen were really helpless against these Japanese people. They hoped that the government could be stronger, but every government turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye to Japan's tyranny again and again.
Zhang Jinshan saw that Ida was coming fiercely this time. The only way now is to agree to Ida first and then think of a way! "His Majesty Colonel, I will definitely consider it carefully. Don't worry, Lord Colonel."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang is indeed a sensible person. Then I will wait for your good news. I hope we can have a happy cooperation. Haha! Hahaha! Mr. Zhang, I will give you three days to think about it, and I will come to you after three days.
It's my honor to come to your house today, so I look forward to coming back next time! I'll take my leave today!"
"Okay, okay, it's my great honor that His Excellency Colonel can afford to look down on this humble house! Sir, please go and say goodbye to His Excellency Colonel!" Zhang Jinshan and Ida made a farewell gesture to each other.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, are you here to invite me?" Xiangzi made a gesture to see off the guest, but it was more like an eviction order, hurrying to send Ida away as an uninvited guest.
After Xiangzi sent Jingtian away, his heart was pounding and pounding. What should he do? Xiangzi returned to the living room and saw Zhang Jinshan with a stern expression on his face, thinking about it and looking worried.
"Master, what should we do? This mine seems to have bad intentions! He wants the rights of the Chamber of Commerce in North China, and now, it seems that he is bound to get it! He actually likes it, I guess
I won't let go easily." Xiangzi said with a sigh.
"Really? Now that he has set his sights on the Chamber of Commerce, he will not give up easily. The scope of control of this Ida in North China is getting larger and larger! If the Chamber of Commerce also allows him to join, the entire North China will become the world of Japan!
Now Ida joins the Chamber of Commerce because he wants the iron ore and coal plants that our merchants have, these highly profitable factories. The key is that these factories are the raw materials needed for the war. I can't give them to them. If I give them to them, what will happen?
How many more Chinese soldiers and people will be harmed!" Zhang Jinshan said very anxiously.
"Sir, but now that the Japanese have come to us, it seems that this is another problem. This well field is just like a plaster. Is it difficult to get rid of it now?"
"Alas! In fact, I have known that such a day would come. How could the Japanese watch us grow bigger and bigger? It is only a matter of time before they set their sights on us. Over the years, we have been able to get by on both sides, and we have only made it to where we are today."
