"The boss is in the second room upstairs. You can just go up there yourself. You don't need any introduction from me. Besides, I don't necessarily have much weight in the eyes of that old Zhou." Takeuchi curled his lips.
"Old Zhou?" Kawasaki looked stunned.
"Old Zhou is the boss here, Zhou Liren. This man has a quirk. He doesn't like others to call him Manager Zhou. He says he is just making friends, not doing business, but he is an interesting guy." A smile appeared on Takeuchi's face.
"Oh." Kawasaki nodded, hesitating whether to go up in person.
These days, recommenders are actually very important. Firstly, they can raise their own status and make the other party take notice of them. Secondly, they can avoid some strange feelings and build relationships faster. However, it seems that this manager Zhou is very "elegant and easy-going", so he should
Not a difficult person to talk to.
"Why, you have to go there in person?" Takeuchi looked at Kawasaki's hesitation and glanced at him with a half-smile.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then Baime opened the door and walked in, saying in a low voice: "Kawasaki-kun, someone outside the door asked to see him, saying that he is the boss here, his surname is Zhou."
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here." Before Kawasaki could say anything, Takeuchi next to him laughed first. He picked up the goblet, stood up unsteadily, and said with a smile: "The relationship is good, you guys talk first, I'll go out for a walk.
visit."
Kawasaki had no choice but to get up and send Takeuchi out. There was a young man standing outside the door. He looked to be about thirty years old. He really didn't look like the "Old Zhou" Takeuchi said.
The young man was none other than Geng Chaozhong. He first said hello to Takeuchi, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then immediately turned his attention to Kawasaki. Then he bowed respectfully and greeted Kawasaki according to Japanese etiquette.
Then he greeted in fluent Japanese:
"I heard from the foreman that Takeuchi-kun has brought a few new guests, so I came here to visit. I, Zhou Liren, am the manager here. You are very welcome to come to Yirle for drinking and entertainment. As usual, friends who are here for the first time are free of charge.
The bill, that is to say, all expenses for drinks, food and drink will be charged to the salon’s account, please enjoy it to your heart’s content!”
Kawasaki returned the gift with a smile on his face. He looked at the young manager, secretly guessing his personality and habits, but he kept saying polite words in Chinese:
"Thank you for your kindness. I have always heard Mr. Takeuchi say that this place has an elegant environment and is a pioneer of fashion, so I came here today to have a look. Upon seeing it, it is indeed well-deserved. Manager Zhou is even more popular among people. He is young and promising!"
"You're welcome." Geng Chaozhong saw that Kawasaki was speaking Chinese and immediately switched back to Chinese. "The guests who come here call me 'Lao Zhou'. You can also call me that in the future. I am a very easy-going person and don't care about anything."
Be careful, you can give me any advice, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
The two of them were polite to each other, but Takeuchi was very impatient. He curled his lips, said a casual explanation and walked away. When Kawasaki saw Takeuchi leaving, it was exactly what he wanted, and he quickly waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Haha, 'Lao Zhou' is a good name. It's a little less polite and a little more friendly. Mr. Zhou, please come in. I just have a few questions that I would like to ask."
Geng Chaozhong naturally would not refuse. He nodded and was about to walk inside. The driver standing guard at the door suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped in front, and said with a stern face:
"Sorry, need to check first!"
Geng Chaozhong looked stunned and was about to speak, "It doesn't matter." Kawasaki stretched out his hand to stop the driver's rude behavior, "I am a servant who is too rigid. I hope Mr. Zhou doesn't mind."
Geng Chaozhong laughed, said "no problem", and then followed Kawasaki into the inner room. The guests and hosts sat down. Kawasaki sat down, poured a cup of tea for Geng Chaozhong, and said:
"Mr. Zhou, I just heard that you speak Japanese so fluently. Have you ever been to Japan before?"
"Haha!" Geng Chaozhong laughed, "No, no, in this business, I just put in some effort in advance. I can speak a few sentences in English, German and French, but it is limited to these few sentences. If you speak too much, you must
Exposed, haha!”
"That's it," Kawasaki also smiled, looked at Geng Chaozhong again, and then introduced himself: "My name is Kawasaki, and I am currently the section chief of the Special Subjects Group of the Japanese Military Police in Peking. I wonder if Mr. Zhou has heard of this organization.
?”
After saying that, Kawasaki's eyes narrowed slightly and he began to observe Geng Chaozhong's reaction.
"Special subject group?" Geng Chaozhong was stunned at first, and then he immediately reacted and said in surprise: "Are you the director of the Peking Special Higher Education Course?"
"It seems that Mr. Zhou has heard of this organization." Kawasaki smiled slightly, as if he was slightly surprised by Geng Chaozhong's expression. He paused and then said, "Others are somewhat afraid when they hear my name.
However, Mr. Zhou is different. He is only surprised but not afraid. It seems that Mr. Zhou is not an ordinary person!"
"Don't dare, don't dare," Geng Chaozhong clasped his fists, "I'm very ordinary. I just have more friends and know more. I hope Section Chief Kawasaki pays attention to me."
"Haha," Kawasaki smiled, "I came to your place this time. To be honest, drinking and having fun is a lie. It is true that I want to cooperate with Mr. Zhou. I just don't know if Mr. Zhou is willing to cooperate with me?"
"I am willing, of course I am, Zhou is asking for it! But I don't know how Section Chief Kawasaki wants to cooperate?" Geng Chaozhong said without changing his expression.
"Interesting, interesting, then I will open the skylight and speak frankly." Kawasaki looked at the calm and composed Manager Zhou in front of him, and couldn't help but show a bit of solemnity on his face. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently.
Then he said:
"I am the intelligence agency of the Empire of Japan stationed in Peiping. I am responsible for collecting information. Knowing that Mr. Zhou is well-informed here, I am willing to provide Mr. Zhou's salon with 200 yuan every month. As for Mr. Zhou, as long as I get what
Just inform me of the news in advance. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is willing?"
"Haha," Geng Chaozhong smiled and did not answer Kawasaki's question. Instead, he asked: "Mr. Kawasaki, do you know how much revenue my salon brings in every month?"
"How much?" Kawasaki's face looked a little ugly.
Obviously, this Zhou Liren was dissatisfied with the lack of money.
"This is the number." Geng Chaozhong didn't care about Kawasaki's expression. He raised his hand and stretched out four fingers.
"Two thousand dollars?" Kawasaki smiled, "I know that Mr. Zhou's salon is doing a booming business, but after all, it has only been open for a few months, so I don't think I can refuse this extra money!"
"Twenty thousand oceans." Geng Chaozhong said calmly.
"So many?" Kawasaki was a little surprised.
Near the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane is Peiping's famous Gold Sales Cave, which hosts the rich, powerful, and foreigners. But even so, a net profit of 2,000 yuan per month for an ordinary businessman is already very good. He definitely
I can’t believe that this salon, which has just opened, can actually have so much income!
