you are lying!
When you said "we had dinner together", your tone was too calm, even a little low.
For Japanese civilians, having dinner with a nobleman is something worth showing off for a lifetime, especially when it is in front of a member of the Matsudaira family, it will never appear in the tone.
There is only one possibility, he is not confident enough!
When he came to the words "Excuse me, Mao-sama, are you okay now?", he swallowed quietly after finishing speaking.
That's because you feel guilty and worry that your words will be exposed.
"Sir Mao" was said twice in total. Although it was said very coherently, when it came to "Zhenyang", the tone was slightly accentuated, while "Sir" returned to the original tone.
It was subconsciously encouraging myself and convincing myself of the existence of this person!
Are you sure this person exists?
There is no such thing as "Mao Matsudaira"?
Is Shidaohuan testing himself?
That's right!
There is a high probability that this is the case.
Ishishima Hiroshi has never met anyone from the Matsudaira family, but he cannot tell the truth from the false, so he deliberately named "Lord Mao" as a fictional character.
Meng Shaoyuan's mind was spinning rapidly, but he kept sneering, making Shi Daokuan confused as to what he was thinking about.
The judgment is basically certain, but you must leave yourself a way out.
"I don't know Mr. Mao, I have never even heard of Matsudaira Mao." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "The surname Matsudaira has a special meaning and symbolizes nobility. So there are always a few untouchables. , trying every possible means to establish a relationship with the Matsudaira family..."
A name appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's mind:
Takahashi Iemasa!
The Japanese royal baron who went to Nanjing to rescue Matsumoto Jiro!
"Not only the Matsudaira family, but also the Ii family and the Takahashi family." Meng Shaoyuan kept sneering: "Last month, before I came to China, I visited Baron Takahashi Iemasa, and the Baron also mentioned this matter …”
The Takahashi family is coming to China, and these Japanese spies must know it.
Sure enough, when they heard the name "Takahashi Iemasa", Ishishima Hiroshi and others suddenly became solemn.
Meng Shaoyuan was already very sure in his heart: "What the Baron encountered was even more ridiculous. Someone once used his name to defraud a company of 50,000 yen. This incident brought great damage to the reputation of the Baron." Hurt. Therefore, Director Ishijima, I suggest you carefully examine the identity of the so-called 'Mao Matsudaira'!"
He can tell if a person is lying, and he also knows how to tell a lie well.
It is impossible for Shi Daohuan to know about the Takahashi family.
If you tell someone "use of identity" in advance, people's psychology will naturally be led to think that since the other party takes the initiative to tell this matter, he is being magnanimous and dismissive of the use of identity, which will lead to a A wonderful sense of trust.
Of course, if there really is such a person as "Mao Matsudaira", I can deny that he has any relationship with the Matsudaira family.
Even if Shi Daohuan wanted to investigate the authenticity of his identity, it would take several days.
How many days?
enough.
"Ah, so that's it?" Shi Daohuan looked shocked and angry: "No wonder, when he left that time, he asked me to borrow a sum of money. It turned out to be a liar. Mr. Matsudaira , I am so ashamed. The monetary loss is nothing at all, but if it brings reputational damage to the Matsudaira family, I can only commit hara-kiri to atone!"
Meng Shaoyuan's guess was not wrong.
Ishishima Hiroshi deliberately made up a fictional character like "Lord Mao" to test "Shun Matsudaira".
If "Shun Matsudaira" says that he knows "Lord Mao", then this is definitely a fake.
The doubts in Shi Daokuan's heart were basically dispelled.
Very good.
Zhengjin Bank is originally a joint venture between government and businessmen. If you can get to know these nobles, it will not only be beneficial to the bank, but your own status will also be greatly improved.
These Japanese privileged classes are not only tax-free for any of their own industries, but once they invest in a company, the company's tax can also be greatly reduced.
The benefits are indescribable.
"Okay, stop talking about these scammers." Meng Shaoyuan looked impatient: "I have a sum of gold that needs to be temporarily deposited in your bank..."
"Ms. Matsudaira, it is my honor to serve you. Can I take the liberty of asking the doctor, how much is it?"
"Three thousand taels!"
"Three thousand taels?" Shi Daokuan took a breath of air.
"This is a secret fund." Meng Shaoyuan's expression became solemn: "Conquering the entire China is the empire's most urgent goal. And to conquer China, we must start with buying off the senior officials of the China government... This is the only thing I can tell your."
Shi Daokuan didn't have the slightest doubt.
"The country's financial pressure is very heavy." Meng Shaoyuan looked worried: "In order to ensure the conquest of China, the empire's military budget this year has accounted for 47% of the national budget. Last year, the average annual income of the empire's citizens The income is 166.5 yen, but taking Tokyo as an example, the average citizen’s expenditure to maintain the minimum living standard is 109.2 yen..."
Now, if anyone says that the "Shun Matsudaira" in front of him is fake, Shi Daohuan will definitely slap him in the face.
He has a clearer understanding of Japan's economic research than he, a financial professional, does.
If you weren't a big noble, how could you have such top-secret and detailed information.
Meng Shaoyuan should be most grateful for the small glasses at this time.
Little Glasses was a good friend of his own time.
His surname is Wang, and he is a military fan. He especially likes to study everything about China and Japan before and after World War II, including their national conditions, military and economy.
At every party, he would bring up the topic and talk about it for hours.
Meng Shaoyuan himself was also interested and remembered everything firmly.
Today, it finally comes in handy.
"So, in order to raise this batch of gold, we spent a lot of effort, and the Matsudaira family, Ii family, and Takahashi family all donated money."
Meng Shaoyuan emphasized his tone: "I was ordered to come to Shanghai first with the gold. I will deposit the gold in your bank, Zhengjin Bank, which cooperates closely with the government and we all trust. But you must remember to keep it confidential, especially We cannot let those in the Ministry of Navy and Foreign Affairs know this news..."
Once again, the factions of Japan's secret service are at work.
Ishishima Hiroshi is a spy belonging to the chaebol faction, so of course he knows the stakes: "Don't worry, Matsudaira-sama, no one will know except those in this room."
"That's good." Meng Shaoyuan and Zhu Yanni stood up together: "I will come with the gold at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow. You should open the door early and prepare. Don't come out to greet him, so as not to attract attention!"
"Okay, Matsudaira-sama, I will!"
