Chapter 401 Yamaguchi: Why do I feel like I am the guest?
Chapter 401 Yamaguchi: Why do I feel like I am the guest?
That night, the few of them met successfully at the restaurant.
Mr. Yamaguchi also came. He was very humble and even bowed to Lin Ze to greet him first. As a result, Lin Ze had no choice but to return the greeting.
"Mr. Lin! Thank you so much. In the factory in Tianjin, I have found my own value again. It is not a question of how much money I make, but it proves that I will not fail forever. It is you and Mr. Miyamoto who gave me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard, please rest assured!"
In fact, this is also the habit of the Japanese. No matter what our personal relationship is, as long as it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, it must be strict.
Although Mr. Yamaguchi is the person in charge of factory operations, Hayashi Ze is the undisputed major shareholder, so in Yamaguchi's view, there is absolutely no problem in being servile to Hayashi Ze.
"Mr. Yamaguchi, you're welcome. I've heard from Brother Miyamoto that your work in Tianjin is very effective. You have made an indelible contribution to the smooth operation of the cigarette factory."
Yamaguchi bowed again, "Thank you for the compliment! It's all what I should do, I will continue to work hard!"
Lin Ze was speechless and ignored him. If he wanted to bow, then he could bow.
Miyamoto also acted very serious, wearing a suit and tie, trying hard to hold in his stomach, with a carefully practiced smile on his face. After all, Major General Matsuzaki was coming today. He was a real high-ranking official with great power, so he had to perform well.
Lin Ze sent them into a small room with a private bath, and then left on his own initiative.
Major General Matsuzaki nodded approvingly and said to Kitahara Ransuke: "Lin-san is a young man who is both loyal and discerning. He is really worth training!"
Why did Lin Ze leave?
Because even if they were helping to make connections, they had to be cautious. If Lin Ze was present, as he was an officer in the gendarmerie headquarters and a major shareholder in the cigarette factory, what would that look like?
Procuring the materials you produce yourself?
Some things, even though they actually are, cannot appear to be that way, and you must be very careful whether there are outsiders present or not.
This is not only for safety reasons, but it also makes others feel that you are reliable.
If someone is loud and noisy when he goes out, and all he talks about is who he knows and how big a deal he has done, this is a typical case of being unreliable. No matter whether what he says is true or false, it only shows that this person is extremely immature.
Kitahara Ransuke smiled proudly and thought, of course, Mr. Lin was discovered and trained by me!
Excellent!
Lin Ze went to the secret room and put on headphones to monitor their conversation.
In short, Major General Matsuzaki was very considerate and no one played any tricks. Miyamoto and Hayashi Ze would each take out 15% of the share for the front army's procurement and distribute it to the key figures in the link. Among them, General Terauchi would take 5%, Matsuzaki and Kitahara would take 5% together, and the rest of the people would share the remaining 5%.
Do not underestimate this 10%. If the operation is stable and the purchasing scale can be expanded, the annual profit will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. The actual profit is definitely much more than the profit calculated by Miyamoto based on yuan per box. After all, the cigarettes for the soldiers to smoke only need to be of acceptable quality. They do not need very good tobacco leaves and can even be mixed with something else.
People like Matsuzaki don't need to produce or worry about anything. They just need to move their mouths and approve a note, and they can make a profit without loss.
How could they refuse?
After talking for a while and soaking in the hot springs, they easily changed into bathrobes and began to enjoy the food.
At this time, Lin Ze appeared again, and the atmosphere was lively with people toasting each other.
Matsuzaki and Kitahara stayed at the restaurant that night, and Hayashi was responsible for sending Miyamoto and Yamaguchi home.
Miyamoto was already very drunk, and although Yamaguchi was very nervous and didn't dare to drink more, he was not much better.
In the car, Miyamoto was still muttering, "Expand, we must expand the scale! Lin... Lin-san! Your production line is good, but after the scale is expanded, it will not be enough. We have to purchase a few more production lines!"
Then he shook his head and said, "Damn it! Those guys in Shanghai won't sell it to us, and Guangzhou is too far away. It would be great if we could take Guangzhou!"
Lin Ze was sitting in the front, and suddenly his eyes widened.
Guangzhou!
"Brother Miyamoto, can Yangcheng buy a production line?"
Miyamoto drunkenly replied subconsciously: "Of course, don't look at how prosperous Shanghai is, Guangzhou is the old territory of the English and Americans, their foreign companies are everywhere, but it's too far away, just shipping it by ship will take a long time, but don't worry, I will solve this problem."
In Guangzhou, there are English companies everywhere!
Lin Ze's brain started working rapidly. Terauchi Juichi said that the Fifth Division was going to the island city, and he was angry and said that he might as well take the First Army away!
This means that the Fifth Division is likely to be separated from the North China Front Army and go to the island city, not to station in the island city, but to board a ship in the island city!
Thinking back to what Lawrence said about conflicts of interest in South China...
Lin Ze understood!
The Japs have been unable to make a breakthrough in Jiangcheng, so they want to attack Yangcheng!
As long as the Guangdong-Hankou Railway is cut off, the defensive value of Jiangcheng will be greatly reduced, and the south may even retreat on its own initiative!
What is the value of this level of intelligence?
But without any evidence, will the higher-ups believe it?
After sending Miyamoto home, he went to send Yamaguchi home.
As soon as I entered the door, the three sisters ran out.
"Hey! Did you drink? Are you okay?"
Yamaguchi laughed drunkenly, this is the warmth of home!
Having several daughters is really great!
Then, he watched his three daughters run to Lin Ze.
"Lin Jun, are you okay? Would you like some soup?"
"Brother-in-law, let Natsuko give you a massage. You have been studying hard recently!"
"Lin Jun... I'll get you a hot towel. Go inside and sit down to rest. Don't stand outside in the wind."
Yamaguchi: Nani? ? ?
The three girls then noticed that Mr. Yamaguchi had also returned. Ayaka said embarrassedly, "I have to go get some hot towels. Dad, please go back to your room and get some rest!"
Mr. Yamaguchi could only smile awkwardly, "Yes, Lin-san is a guest, you have to take good care of him."
In a blink of an eye, I saw Lin Ze sitting in the living room again, Natsuko was massaging his temples from behind, and Moe was bringing him honey water.
How come compared to Lin-san, I am the guest?
Mr. Yamaguchi just felt a tightness in his chest. Forget it, he decided not to think about it. Mr. Lin was rich and powerful, and he was also his benefactor. Without Mr. Lin, he would not be able to manage a factory.
I could only close my eyes, selectively blind myself, and quietly go back to my room to sleep.
After a long while, Lin Ze said goodbye, but of course he didn't go back home directly.
Mieko is still looking forward to it!
