Chapter 595 Pushing the envelope
At noon the day after the Navy Department welcomed Joseph Clark to the school dinner, Aoi Shigemitsu, who had been silent for two days, hurriedly asked Shifu Tamaki to find John Clark and asked Fang Lang to have lunch with him.
The location was set at an izakaya not far from the U.S. Navy Club. The izakaya had a very maritime name, called Langhua Izakaya. Fang Lang didn’t know how to pronounce the moon language specifically, but judging from the text, it really made sense.
The word "wave" written in Chinese.
That time, Chongmitsu Kui asked whether to invite Fang Lang alone, so John did not go with him. Fang Lang went with a group of guards and his adjutant Qi Qingshan.
It's not that Fang Lang is afraid of death and brings a lot of guards with him wherever he goes, but due to his current status and some of the things he did in Brazil, the guards simply don't dare to let him go.
People go out alone.
Because it was noon, there were not many guests in the izakaya. Fang Lang's guards had already checked inside and outside. After confirming that nothing unusual was found, Qi Qingshan whispered to Fang Lang when he came to Fang Lang's car window.
road:
"Boss, there is Mr. Shigemitsu Aoi and a middle-aged couple in the izakaya. According to themselves, the middle-aged couple are the owners of the izakaya!"
Fang Lang looked at Yidong's small izakaya through the car window. If it wasn't a mom-and-pop shop, it was normal. He didn't feel any danger from there, so he nodded and went directly to the restaurant without hesitation.
He opened the car door and walked in.
After walking in, I felt that the izakaya was even more simple. There was a row of tables and chairs next to the left leg of the door. You could count them clearly at a glance, there were five of them.
There is a long bar on the right! There are more than ten high stools in front of the bar. The layout is very similar to Fang Lang's common small izakaya in Tsukimoto in later generations.
At this moment, Shigemitsu Aoi was standing at the bar of the izakaya, bowing deeply to Fang Lang, and shouting in an ups and downs:
"General Pavilion East, I'm glad you accepted the invitation. Isn't it very rude that I can't greet you at the door in person?"
When Fang Lang saw this, he waved his legs carelessly and said:
"Okay, it's their first time meeting, so there's no need to be so polite, let's get straight to the point!"
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Shigemitsu Kui seemed to feel that Fang Lang's attitude was not very good. She thought that Fang Lang felt that she had been slighted, so she even took the initiative to explain:
"General Pavilion East, is that tavern run by one of his old bosses? Both of them are very reliable people. Because the matter we want to talk about tomorrow is relatively secretive, he deliberately invited you there.
I don’t mean to neglect you!
I very much ask you not to be offended!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang glared at Wan Fang dissatisfiedly and said:
"Is there something shady about meeting him? Do you want to be secretive?"
Fang Lang had some vague guesses about Chong Guang Kui's thoughts. He wanted to take refuge with him but also didn't want them to know about it. However, Fang Lang didn't want to be sneaky. He just wanted to let everyone know that he Chong Guang Kui had already
He took refuge in himself.
Hearing Fang Lang's unceremonious reprimand, Chong Guangkui's face turned green and red, and he didn't make a sound for a while, but whether he was a foreign minister or not, his thick skin had already been tempered, and he quickly adjusted his mood and said:
"General Pavilion Master, how can he serve you better? I beg you to honor me and give him a chance to explain."
Although he knew that the old boy was making excuses, Fang Lang did not refuse again. After all, that guy was of great use value. If he used it well, it would be a good move. Therefore, he did not continue to struggle with the issue. I don't want to be with him.
Fang Lang will not come over tomorrow at all to meet him. After all, the cultural relics he and Yushio Kodama promised to send him are not in place!
Moreover, the other party had not asked him out to play with him for a long time, but it was only after Joseph Clark arrived in Yueben that he rushed to ask him out. It was already clear to him what his intentions were.
"He knows exactly what I'm thinking, so if this is the last chance he gives me, if it's very serious, don't say he didn't predict what he said!"
Aoi Shigemitsu also knew what she and Yushio Kodama had done. After hearing what Fang Lang said, she didn't dare to say anything. After all, for such a big thing, they couldn't just listen to Fang Lang and believe it casually. Please don't
Did that guy lie to them intentionally?
Therefore, in those days, the two of them inquired about Fang Lang's specific situation from many sources. Among the people they knew, almost no one knew anything about Fang Lang's situation, and they were unable to contact higher-level people.
It wasn't until they heard yesterday that the CEO of Emperor's Whip Military Contracting Company suddenly arrived in Yueben that they believed what Fang Lang said. Then they heard that the Brazilian Navy Rear Admiral was also invited to the welcome dinner last night.
Attended.
Although the wrong party had almost no communication with Joseph Clark throughout the whole process, Joseph Clark's son John Clark accompanied the Brazilian rear admiral and chatted with him throughout the process.
What shocked the two even more was that Mr. Alexander Dodge, the economic adviser stationed by the United States in Japan, actually took the initiative to talk to the inconspicuous rear admiral for more than half an hour. No one knew what the two talked about.
But many people said that the economic adviser and the rear admiral had a very lively chat, and they frequently toasted to each other during the process, and initially they toasted each other directly! The economic adviser, Mr. Dodge, seemed to be in a very good mood throughout the dinner.
From this, it can be inferred that the inconspicuous Brazilian rear admiral in front of him was definitely not as simple as he appeared. Therefore, Shigemitsu Aoi made up his mind and asked Fang Lang to have a good chat again.
When Shigemitsu Aoi met Fang Lang again, she no longer had the arrogance she had before. Instead, she behaved very politely, even a little groveling.
After hearing Fang Lang's scolding, he did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he bowed and apologized again, respectfully extended his right leg and pointed to the innermost table outside the izakaya and said:
"Please don't worry, General Ge Dong. That was definitely the last time. I don't dare to have any doubts about General Ge Dong's words anymore. I hope General Ge Dong will honor you and give me a chance to atone for my sins."
"
When Fang Lang heard this, he glared at the wrong person with unkind eyes, strode towards the position inside, and said unforgivingly:
"Can't you atone for your sins the way I did? Have you ever heard of a word called "exchanging merit for sin"? I only need to use enough merit to obtain his forgiveness.
Is it bright red?"
Although Fang Lang said it very harshly, he actually gave the wrong party a chance to show off, otherwise he would not have accepted the wrong party's invitation at all. Both parties knew this very well.
Shigemitsu Kui was also very aware that now was the time to show his sincerity, so he walked with Fang Lang inside and turned to Fang Lang and said:
"General Pavilion East, he Minghong, have they not relaxed at all in the past two days about the tasks you assigned them? He and Mr. Kodama have collected more than a thousand precious Chinese cultural relics for you in those two days, including
There are 400 pieces of porcelain, 300 pieces of crude copper, more than 100 pieces of jade, and more than 200 pieces of miscellaneous items such as carved rhinoceros horn cups and inkstones.
He assures you that these are rare treasures with immeasurable value, so I would like to express his and Mr. Kodama's apologies. They will not take any penny from those cultural relics, and will give them all to the east of the Shogun's Pavilion as a gift of apology. I would like to invite the General.
Master Ge Dong doesn’t remember the villain’s faults, but he can forgive the villain’s ignorance.”
Fang Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this. More than a thousand precious cultural relics were not a small amount. Moreover, Fang Lang estimated that those two guys would definitely not dare to deceive him now, because they could not afford the serious consequences of deceiving themselves.
Hey, although Fang Lang was very happy in his heart, he would never show it in front of that guy, because he knew very well that those guys' legs would never have even a little bit of Chinese cultural relics in them, please don't
If you show yourself to be satisfied too easily, the wrong party will look down on you.
Therefore, he looked at Shigemitsu Kui on the side with his joyful head, frowning, and said with dissatisfaction:
"It took us more than three days to collect more than a thousand cultural relics. The efficiency is very unsatisfactory. We have three days. If our efficiency is not satisfactory, then what they said before
But he never said anything about it.
He won't work with trash."
Fang Lang's words could be said to be extremely contemptuous, which made Chongguang Kui, who was originally full of flattery and secretly waiting for Fang Lang's praise with some pride, suddenly become very ugly.
In his opinion, more than a thousand precious cultural relics were already a very large amount, but he did not expect that the other party would be very dissatisfied, which made him secretly worried. The other party's appetite was so big that he was a little worried.
Surprised! How can such a person satisfy his needs?
Although he knew that Yushio Kodama had a lot of legs in stock, they would have other uses in the future and he could not hand them all over to General Fang at once.
What's more, with the current batch of cultural relics, did I have to spend a lot of money to convince Kodama Yushio to agree to give it to the guy in front of me for free? If I continue to give it away, their family fortune will be emptied. That's not possible.
The gain outweighs the loss.
Bu Nao Fang Lang obviously also knew that some things should not be forced into excess, and you will get something if you give up. He never thought about taking those things from their legs for free. It would be better to give the wrong party a sum of money that is not worth it.
, let the wrong party willingly hand over the Chinese cultural relics in his legs.
From now on, if I have a lot of legs, I will squeeze out the money given to them bit by bit. For example, if I run an amnesty order for Shigemitsu Aoi, it will not be free! The price is very high and I can't just spend it casually.
Have you made an offer?
I just want to know the financial situation of their legs, and I don't believe that the wrong party won't obediently give in.
Therefore, Fang Lang continued without waiting for the wrong party to speak:
"It's very true. He doesn't like people who take advantage of others. He doesn't need us to give him cultural relics. If he says he wants to buy it, he will definitely pay for it.
We need to send the collected cultural relics to the naval base. His people will naturally carefully identify the authenticity and make a valuation. At that time, he will pay a corresponding amount of US dollars as the cost of purchasing the cultural relics. We can also use the money he paid.
US dollars to continue purchasing cultural relics for him.
Moreover, the price he gave us at what price we purchased the wild rice was absolutely fair.
Am I red?"
Shigemitsu Aoi didn't expect that Fang Lang would directly refuse his gift. Instead, he generously expressed his request to settle the bill directly in US dollars.
Now in the monthly currency, can the U.S. dollar be a real hard currency? If converted into monthly yuan, if you sell it to the wrong party, you may not only not lose money, but you may also make a lot of money.
Thinking of that, his ugly face instantly softened, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile, and he said without hesitation:
"No, no, General's Pavilion East, no, this little man has little knowledge.
After returning home, he immediately mobilized funds and tried to find as many Chinese antiques for me as possible in the remaining time. I will definitely not let you down again."
Chongguang Kui's expression changed naturally, hiding from Fang Lang's eyes. Seeing that the wrong party's expression softened after hearing him say that he would pay US dollars for the cultural relics, Fang Lang showed a sneer in his heart, but did not make any expression on his face.
As if he had forgiven his mistake after hearing his words, he slowly walked to the dining table and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Don't talk too much now. He will see my performance when the time comes. If I can't satisfy him, no matter how extravagant my words are, it won't have any effect."
At this moment, Shigemitsu Kui didn't have the style of Foreign Minister Yuemoto at all. Standing in front of Fang Lang, she said with a flattering smile on her face:
"Please rest assured, General Pavilion Master, I will never let you down."
Seeing the respectful look on the other party's face, Fang Lang casually waved his leg to indicate to the other party to take the east road:
"Okay, no need to talk nonsense anymore. Let me tell you why I asked him to meet me that time!"
Shigemitsu Aoi was not surprised by Fang Lang's straight-to-the-point approach. In his opinion, the young Brazilian rear admiral was an arrogant and greedy bastard who would never be polite to him. If he didn't
If I had asked the wrong person, I would never have wanted to say one more word to such a rude person.
When he saw the wrong party signaling him to go east, he was not polite, so he pulled away his stool and walked on the wrong side of Fang Lang.
"General Pavilion Master, I have taken the liberty to invite you over tomorrow. I would like to ask you if I would like to report to you on the preparations for the Chinese cultural relics of Yidong. I would also like to inquire about the specific delivery method of Yidong."
Hearing this, Fang Lang waved his legs impatiently and said:
"If you don't talk nonsense, he won't believe it, so why don't I just say that I believe it?
He's very busy and doesn't have time to talk nonsense with me, so please don't waste their time, okay?"
Chongguang Kui was not angry when he heard Fang Lang's rude words, so he smiled. Then Yong Tu slowly turned his head and glanced around. He saw two armed guards standing at the door and a man standing not far away.
Except for the officer who was staring at him eagerly, there was no one else standing around. Not even the shop owner and his wife were at the bar!
He then pressed his legs on the table, leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice and said to Fang Lang:
"General Ge Dong, if, in accordance with your wishes, he takes the initiative to stand up and admit Yue Ben's crimes during the war, and is willing to kowtow to apologize for it.
I don’t know what kind of help you can provide him, apart from getting him a pardon."
Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown, and almost lost his composure. However, he soon realized that the guy in front of him was not sincerely repentant at all, at most it was just a political show.
That made him frown and scolded directly:
"What does it mean to follow his wishes? Whether I am willing to admit my mistake or not is not my own wish, and it has nothing to do with him.
Did he tell me that doing so would make it easier for him to get a pardon for me? I went so far as to ask for other benefits? What did I think that was? A deal?"
