Japanese Consul General in Shanghai Okamoto is inviting celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai to the Navy Club to attend the banquet in the name of celebrating his birthday. Commod and Sassoon were invited to attend.

George was not qualified to participate.

But Okamoto is calling out a special name this season, hoping that George will attend.

So Zhong Yi, as George, came to the Navy Club with Commod and Sassoon.

Banquets are held in the form of cold dinners. There are many such cold dinners on diplomatic occasions, because the people attending the banquet can gather and communicate at will, or they can arrive late or leave early.

Zhong Yi and the other two had just walked into the hall, and Okamchi put down his glass to greet him.

This birthday is actually just an excuse, because today is not Okamoto Jimao's birthday at all, and no one will go into this anyway.

Okamoto’s real intention is to have an in-depth exchange with Sassoon or George.

Because the Sassoon Guard has made a lot of noise in Shanghai in recent times. Although so far, it has only been limited to the concession and has not yet affected the Japanese-controlled areas, Okamoto is very convinced of the old Chinese saying that everything is planned, and no plan will be ruined. So he wants to prepare for the future and draw a red line with the Sassoon Guard in advance.

Otherwise, it would be bad if the Sassoon Guard crossed the boundary and triggered a conflict between the Japanese government and Western powers.

As the Consul General of the Japanese Government in Shanghai, as a diplomat, if something happens to him under his own rule, it will undoubtedly be a shameful failure and will definitely affect his future.

"Minister Commod, Sir Sassoon, and Captain George."

Meeting the three of them, Okamoto was spreading his hands and slightly tilted his head.

"Consul General Okamoto." Kommoto and the other two also replied with gentlemanly courtesy.

"It's so honorable that you can come to my birthday party." Okamoto Jimasa said again.

Commod presented the small gifts prepared in advance and smiled and said, "A mere gift is not respectful."

Okamoto was taking the gift and handed it over to the secretary. Sushou said, "Why don't we talk?"

Commod spread his hands with no means, and Sassoon had the same expression, but Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I also have something to say to the Minister."

Okazumi is turning around to lead the way, but she is a little surprised.

There seems to be an unknown inside story in this Sassoon Guard?

When they arrived at a corner of the hall, Okamoto was calling a waiter to serve red wine to Kang Motto and the other two.

Then Okamotoji said straight to the point: "Sir Sassoon and Captain George, that's right. The people from Huang Mansion found me and hope I can come forward and make a comeback."

This is how powerful Okamotoji is this old devil.

If you clearly divide the sphere of influence between the Sassoon Guard and the sphere of influence as soon as you come up, it is easy to make the situation stiffer, and it is often difficult to win the maximum benefits.

So Okamoto chose Huang Jingrong as the entry point.

(A reader reminded the swordsman that Huang Jingrong would be better off using a pseudonym, so he couldn't afford to offend him, so he would use Huang Jingrong in the future)

Sassoon refused to say anything, but Zhong Yi sneered: "It seems that the people in Huang Gongguan are very powerful, and they can even persuade Consul General Okamoto to come forward to express their love for them."

Okamotoji smiled and said, "Captain George, can you put Huang Jingrong on my face?"

"Okay, no problem." Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Actually, we never said we would not let Huang Jingrong go. As long as Huang Mansion compensates our Sassoon Guard for all the losses, we will let him go immediately."

Okayama nodded and said, "Captain George, can I ask, how much does Huang Mansion need to compensate your guard before you can release him?"

"Not much." Zhong Yi said lightly, "It's about fifty million."

"Nani, 50 million?" Okamoto's face froze when he heard this.

Zhong Yi smiled slightly and added: "The US dollar is not fiat currency."

"Nani, don't you return the US dollar?" Okamoto's face became more and more embarrassing.

Frowning, Okamotoji said, "Captain George, you don't seem to be a problem-solving attitude."

There are indeed some lions who speak out loud at 50 million US dollars. Although Huang Jingrong is a famous tycoon in Shanghai and has a wealthy family, he can only make up for the 500 US dollars.

Even if you count the entire industry of Zhongxin Hall, you may not be able to raise 50 million US dollars.

Zhong Yi asked back: "Then Consul General Okamoto believes that what should be done about this matter?"

Okamoto said: "I probably learned about the conflict between your Sassoon Guard and Huang Gongguan, or Zhongxin Society, from No. 76. The reason is that a member of your guard has won too much money at Gongxing Club."

"Mr. Consul." Zhong Yi interrupted, "What does it mean to win too much money? Since Gongxing Club dares to open the door to do business, you must be prepared to lose money. You can't only win money but not lose money, right? That's not a robbery?"

"Of course, this is of course wrong with Gongxing Club." Okamoto waved his hand and continued, "There should be even more unstoppable for the people of Gongxing Club to ambush your guards halfway."

After pausing, Okamoto Jimasato said again: "However, as far as I know, the guards of your guards did not suffer any casualties. Instead, the Zhongxin Society, which is the people from Huang Gongguan, was beaten and killed by you..."

"Mr. Consul, you don't say what you said." Zhong Yi interrupted again, "There were no casualties in our guards. The people from Zhongxin Society, that is, Huang Gongguan, were beaten and killed by us. That's because they were incompetent. However, the incompetence of Zhongxin Society cannot cover up their mistakes. If you make a mistake, you should be punished."

"I deeply agree with this." Okamoto nodded and said, "But even if there is compensation, we must have a degree. We cannot ask for a price all over the place, so doing is not a positive attitude."

Zhong Yi sneered: "So what the Consul General means?"

Okamotoshi Masato: "How about 500,000 silver dollars?"

"Five hundred thousand silver dollars? Haha, is this the bottom line of Huang Gongguan?" Zhong Yi sneered twice and said, "Mr. Consul General, if this is the case, please be sure to tell Huang Gongguan and let them prepare to collect Huang Jingrong's body."

"Okay." Okamoto shrugged regretfully and said, "Anyway, I have brought it. As for whether it succeeds, it is the matter between you. As an outsider, I cannot interfere."

"Thank you, Consul General, for understanding." Zhong Yi nodded and expressed his gratitude.
