Chapter 8 Hu Fei's idea
Manager Takahashi is actually a person with a very deep background. His father is a student of former Japanese Prime Minister Inukai Tatsuya and once served in the Japanese government. On May 15, 1932, Inukai Tatsuya was shot and killed by eleven radical Japanese officers in the prime minister's residence. The prime minister was assassinated and Takahashi's father resigned. Even Manager Takahashi's position in foreign companies took a sharp turn for the worse due to the impact.
Deputy Manager Sato and Okamura Yiji, who was then the deputy chief of staff of the Kanto Army, were fellow villagers. They were not only from Tokyo, but also from four Sakamachi, Tokyo. It is said that his father also knew General Kazumura. With this relationship, and Manager Takahashi's biggest backstage is no longer there, Sato is pointing to the east and west of the foreign company, showing off his strengths and calling it reform.
It is said that it is reform, but it is actually to pull people close to Takahashi from important positions and then replace them with people he is optimistic about. This is to openly seize power! If Takahashi knows himself, he will give up his position as a manager and go back to China honestly. But Takahashi is reluctant to let it go?
Although foreign companies have close ties with the army, they are not military and foreign companies are still a commercial institution after all. Takahashi is a manager in foreign companies and makes a lot of money every month. If he returns to China to be a commoner, he will immediately have to rely on his capital!
Sato is a golden signboard of Okamura, and he is rich in his pocket when he is the deputy manager of a foreign company. In Fengtian Castle, he is a leading cadre in the military and political circles. Colonel Suzuki is the real-powerful officer of Fengtian Castle whom he has just hooked up with recently.
Suzuki is the corps leader of the Fengtian City Garrison and has military power. Sato brought Colonel Suzuki over to force the palace today. While they were having dinner in the private room just now, Manager Takahashi was forced to give up his real power position in a foreign company. He was just in trouble, sulking and drinking.
When people are most frustrated and bored, if they have a stranger I don’t know to listen to him, talk with him, and drink, the depression in their hearts will be much more relieved. Takahashi is of course no exception.
Manager Takahashi is not a soldier, and he is not as vigilant as a soldier. Although Hu Fei suddenly appears, he does not have much rejection. In addition, he drinks too much, so his judgment ability becomes even more unclear as soon as he gets drunk.
Hu Fei came up and chatted with Takahashi. He first made Takahashi faint, and then turned to the foreign company step by step. Sure enough, before he asked carefully, Takahashi was so bitter about Hu Fei as if he had found an organization. He told Hu Fei all the hardships and confusions he had encountered during this period of time.
"I think I'd better go back to Japan as soon as possible. Manchuria no longer has my place to stay." After saying everything in my heart, Takahashi suddenly felt much more relaxed and seemed to have a little clearer mind. The big complaint just now also analyzed the current situation clearly. Takahashi knew that he could not beat Sato, so he was discouraged and planned to return to China to retire.
He wanted to retire, but Hu Fei refused to let him go! He finally found an opportunity to take advantage of this foreign company manager. How could Hu Fei let him return to China to retire casually?
"Mr. Takahashi, don't be discouraged. A person's life will always encounter various twists and turns and hardships. Only by overcoming these tests again and again will your life be not wasted!" Hu Fei told Takahashi about the value of life like a philosopher. "In fact, what you said is not a big problem. I have an excellent way to help you quickly restore your previous status!"
"What?" Takahashi suddenly stared at Hu Fei with wide eyes, but then he shook his head with a wry smile, "It's impossible, Sato is not something I can deal with. Thank you for your comfort, I feel much better now."
Takahashi thought Hu Fei was enlightening him. In fact, if it weren't for his usefulness and wanted to pull him up to do his own thing, Hu Fei would take care of him, a down-and-out Japanese devil? He would kill him with just one knife, even if his manager Takahashi's ancestors had accumulated virtue.
"How is it impossible? Cheer up, Takahashi! You just don't have a backend now and can't get involved in the development of foreign companies' business? I have a way! However, there is a prerequisite for the implementation of this method, that is, it must not be linked to politics or the army. We are businessmen, and everything is based on the interests of merchants! Can you do this?"
Hu Fei smiled and stared at Takahashi with his eyes lit up, like a human trafficker who used candied haws to coax a child.
Takahashi didn't think there was anything wrong with Hu Fei's expression. He just felt that the other party was really trying to help him solve his problems! After thinking a little, Takahashi had a little firmness in his eyes when he looked at Hu Fei again, "I can do it! Huh? Do you know my name is Takahashi? Where did you know that I am the manager of a foreign company?"
Otherwise, drinking is a mistake, people will react slowly after drinking. The two of them have been drinking together for so long, and Takahashi only remembered that he didn't know the name of the person opposite him.
"My surname is Hu, and my name is Hu Fei." Hu Fei did not intend to hide his name from the other party.
"Oh, it turns out to be Hu Jun."
The notice posted at the gate of the city only introduced Hu bandits, but did not say that Hu Fei was Hu Fei. Someone said, aren’t there any portraits at the gate of the city? Not to mention portraits. Even if it is a photo of a real person, it is not an expert to identify with instruments. Ordinary people can’t recognize people with their naked eyes at once by looking at the photos.
Takahashi has been focusing on the battle for power and profits of foreign companies for the past period. There are wanted orders at the city gate every day. How could he have time to see that? Not to mention that he has never seen it, even if he has seen it, he can't remember it!
After the two of them shared their names, they met formally. The solution Hu Fei provided to Takahashi was arms transactions! He was responsible for contacting the buyer, and Takahashi was responsible for making weapons and ammunition. While he was somewhat influential in the foreign company, he also had a group of obedient people under him, so it was not too difficult to do this!
If you smuggle arms, you will have money on hand! If you have money, you can bribe the senior management. As long as you bribe the senior management of a comparable level, isn’t his position as a manager solid?
For example, I would like to give Kanto Army Commander Nobuyoshi Muto and give some tribute to Kanto Army Chief of Staff Koiki Aki. As long as I can get involved with those two, I would not be afraid of Okamura Nagaji, the deputy chief of staff. Besides, will General Gangmura help Deputy Manager Sato talk? That guy is just pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner now!
You are the manager, he is the deputy manager. You are born with a strong overwhelming position. Why should you be afraid of him?
Hu Fei said something, Takahashi nodded. When he heard the happy place, Hu Fei didn't need to greet him. The old boy took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and drink it. As Hu Fei's speech extended, Takahashi changed his depressed expression just now. This guy had two eyes glowing and full of energy!
