At 7:30 in the evening, Li Yunsheng and Okazaki Kazuo faced each other in the elegant room of a hotel. The name of the hotel was Sichuan Restaurant. Although it was not big and the name was ordinary, it was very elegant.
Judging from the name of the restaurant alone, we can tell that this is a Sichuan restaurant, and it was also chosen by Kazuo Okazaki because Li Yunsheng insisted on choosing a place because he was not familiar with the situation in Shenyang.
When the food and wine were put on the table, Li Yunsheng looked at the red dishes on the table and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Okazaki-kun to like China's Sichuan cuisine. It's really surprising."
Okazaki Kazuo immediately said: "It's very cold in the Northeast. Eating some Sichuan food will make your body warm. I especially like Sichuan hot pot."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, Sichuan food is indeed spicy, but it has a different flavor. Especially after eating, the feeling of sweating profusely is even more comfortable."
Okazaki Kazuo asked in surprise: "Does Takeda-kun also like to eat Sichuan food?"
Li Yunsheng nodded again and said with a smile: "Yes, Takeda likes Sichuan food very much. Although it is very spicy, it is also very exciting."
Of course what Li Yunsheng said was false. He didn't like spicy food very much, especially heavy-flavored Sichuan food. Although these dishes were very exciting, they would affect the senses.
But when Okazaki Kazuo said this, Li Yunsheng could only agree with him in order to do what he wanted.
Sure enough, when he heard that Li Yunsheng also liked Sichuan food, Okazaki Kazuo was very happy and said with a smile on his face: "It seems that Takeda-kun and I are very destined, even our preferences are so consistent."
Looking at Okazaki Kazuo's performance, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that it seems that his efforts have not been in vain, and the other party's attitude is getting better and better, so he continued: "I also feel that I am in love with Okazaki-kun. Come on, let me toast you."
After finishing speaking, Li Yunsheng raised his wine glass and raised it high to Okazaki Kazuo.
Of course, Okazaki Kazuo would not refuse. He also raised his wine glass, touched it with Li Yunsheng, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Yunsheng put down the glass, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Okazaki-kun, to tell you the truth, I don't have many hobbies, and this wine is one of them, especially China’s liquor is even more memorable.”
Since the two of them ate Sichuan food, they naturally drank Chinese liquor. This was exactly what Li Yunsheng wanted. After all, two men drinking together, especially high-alcohol liquor, can get closer to each other faster.
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Okazaki Kazuo also put down his wine glass and said in agreement: "Yes, although China's liquor is spicy, after drinking it, I feel comfortable all over, especially the taste, which is even more memorable."
Okazaki Kazuo has stayed in the Northeast for a long time, so he naturally accepted Chinese food. Moreover, in terms of food, China is much better than Japan, especially the various kinds of liquor are much better than Japanese sake.
Compared with Chinese liquor, Japanese sake can be said to be like horse urine. Okazaki Kazuo will naturally like it after he has tasted a good one.
Looking at Okazaki Kazuo's unfaithful expression, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that this old devil would really enjoy it and not brag about the so-called sake to other Japanese people, so he asked with a smile: "Okazaki-kun also likes China's liquor. .”
Okazaki Kazuo also smiled and replied: "Yes, after drinking China's liquor, I always feel that our country's sake is too light. Although it is more delicious, it cannot compare with China's liquor.
And to be fair, although China is lagging behind, it is the best in the world in terms of food. It must be true that the food from all over the world is not on the table."
Li Yunsheng was a little surprised by Okazaki Kazuo's words, but it was obvious that this old devil must like food very much, otherwise he would not have said these words.
Thinking that this person was a foodie, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but feel very proud. He felt that this was God's help. After all, it was too easy to get into a relationship with a foodie.
So Li Yunsheng slapped the table and said in agreement: "Okazaki-kun, in fact, Takeda thinks so too, but most Chinese people still think that domestic food is better, especially when it comes to drinking, sake is the only choice.
I’m unhappy, I feel like they are telling lies.”
Okazaki Kazuo said with a smile: "Takeda-kun, this is actually normal. After all, people in our country are used to drinking sake, and the white wine is really spicy when they first drink it, so they naturally can't get used to it."
Li Yunsheng said flatteringly: "Okazaki-kun is still great. I can immediately think of this reason, but Takeda is not good."
Okazaki Kazuo was very proud, then he picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the food casually, and continued: "Although the food in China is good, this land has inferior democracy. I really don't know how to make such food.
!”
Hearing Okazaki Kazuo's words, Li Yunsheng secretly hated him, but there was no displeasure on his face. Instead, he echoed: "Yes, I really don't know how these inferior ethnic groups make such delicacies. I guess they must
Put all your brains into studying food!"
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Okazaki Kazuo was startled, and then said with a smile: "Takeda-kun is right, the Chinese people are not so backward just because they put their minds on other things and only focus on internal fighting."
Li Yunsheng agreed a few words, raised his glass again, and toasted to Okazaki Kazuo.
Okazaki Kazuo did not refuse. He clinked glasses with Li Yunsheng and drank them all in one gulp.
The two started chatting while drinking and eating. Li Yunsheng purposefully brought the topic to the economy: "Okazaki-kun, you are a banker. Have you noticed that the yen in our Empire of Japan has depreciated somewhat?"
Although Okazaki Kazuo was not drunk, he was still a bit drunk, so his vigilance was even worse, so he said: "As the war lasted longer and longer, the government's finances were unable to make ends meet, so they had to issue more currency to maintain fiscal balance.
, then the yen will naturally depreciate."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "What do I mean, it turns out to be this reason, but the Japanese Empire has a generous finances, how can it not make ends meet."
Okazaki Kazuo, who was still drunk, said calmly: "It's not like the damned Chinese people had to resist the empire, which resulted in huge military expenditures and tight finances."
Having said this, Okazaki Kazuo paused and looked at Li Yunsheng with a somewhat strange look.
Seeing Okazaki Kazuo's gaze, Li Yunsheng's heart tightened, and he secretly guessed that this old devil had noticed something unusual, otherwise why would he be looking at him like this.
After carefully recalling the conversation just now, Li Yunsheng didn't think of any questions, so he pretended to be confused and asked: "Okazaki-kun, what's wrong? Why do you look at me like this?"
While talking, Li Yunsheng was already prepared. If there was anything wrong with this old devil, he would immediately subdue him and force him to follow him.
However, this method can easily cause problems. After all, as a senior executive of Zhengjin Bank, Okazaki Kazuo will definitely cause some trouble once he disappears.
But Li Yunsheng was not sure that he would be able to force the other party to become his inside man, especially in a short period of time. It would be very difficult to do this.
It was precisely for this reason that Li Yunsheng did not use kidnapping to find clues. After all, although it was simple, the Japanese were not fools. Once something went wrong, they would alert the enemy, so they used a safe method.
Seeing Li Yunsheng's confused look, Okazaki Kazuo asked incomprehensively: "Takeda-kun, although the government has issued a lot of additional currency, the amount is not very large, and the issuance speed is very slow. Logically speaking, the devaluation is not
It’s amazing, how could you discover this.”
As soon as Okazaki Kazuo finished speaking, Li Yunsheng let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, it turned out to be this reason that scared me.
Since Okazaki Kazuo didn't find anything wrong, Li Yunsheng relaxed and said with a smile: "Okazaki-kun, don't forget what I do. I am a businessman, and I also do business with foreign countries, and I often need to exchange money.
foreign currency.
During this period of time, I found that when using Japanese yen to exchange for foreign currencies, it cost more and more, especially the ratio with the US dollar was even worse. If I still can't find the problem, I would be stupid.
What's more, although the Japanese yen has not depreciated much, its purchasing power is still a bit worse. I'm afraid ordinary citizens today can find this."
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Okazaki Kazuo was stunned, and then asked seriously: "Even ordinary citizens can notice the currency depreciation. Is this true?"
Seeing Okazaki Kazuo's expression, Li Yunsheng felt a little different. He thought that this old devil was a banker. Could he not know this? So he said: "Yes, the people of the empire are not stupid. Of course they can discover this, especially
In the Tianjin area, due to the existence of concessions in various countries, many people like to store some U.S. dollars, and the exchange ratio between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar is already two points higher than last year."
Okazaki Kazuo sighed, and then said to himself: "I said that I could only issue a small amount of additional currency, but the damn military department still asked for so much additional currency."
After finishing speaking, Okazaki Kazuo showed a look of hatred, and then drank a glass of boring wine.
Hearing Okazaki Kazuo's words, Li Yunsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately knew that this little devil must have some clues, so he pretended to be confused and asked: "Okazaki-kun, isn't the issue of currency a matter of the cabinet? What does it have to do with the military department?
relation."
Seeing Li Yunsheng's confused look, Okazaki Kazuo wanted to explain, but something immediately occurred to him, so he quickly said: "I made a mistake, Takeda-kun, don't suggest it."
There was a hint of panic in Okazaki Kazuo's tone. Li Yunsheng immediately knew that the issue of additional currency was related to the Japanese military. Although he didn't know the specific situation, it had nothing to do with his purpose, so he didn't need to care.
Moreover, judging from Okazaki Kazuo's attitude, even if he asked, the other party would not answer, but would make the other party wary, so he pretended to be a newbie and said in a daze: "It turned out to be a slip of the tongue. What I said, currency issuance is the cabinet
How can you listen to the military department about your affairs?" After finishing speaking, he stopped mentioning the matter.
