A few people who looked like bodyguards walked in first.
He looked around the room warily, and then separated.
Then, a young man walked in slowly.
As soon as they saw this person, Li Ruzhang, the director-general of Shanghai Refugee Children's Correctional Institution, and Shao Puyun, the chairman of Dinghua Company, their eyes immediately lit up.
The two of them hurriedly greeted each other and bowed deeply:
"It's Mr. Matsudaira who has arrived!
The future of the Japanese aristocratic Matsudaira family, Tetsuhiro Matsudaira, the head of the Japanese international delegation to China!
Li Ruzhang and Shao Puyun were also welcomed at the dock that day.
Although an unpleasant kidnapping incident occurred later, so-called Shanghai celebrities such as Li Ruzhang and Shao Puyun were received by Matsudaira Tetsuhiro at the Japanese Consulate.
This is simply a lifetime honor for them.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Shao." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro nodded, lukewarmly.
"Your Excellency Matsudaira's arrival is simply a great honor for us!" Li Ruzhang wanted to flatter Matsudaira Tetsuhiro: "Everyone, let us applaud Your Excellency Matsudaira Tetsuhiro!"
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira?
Those who didn't know him at first realized what he was doing, and there was a round of applause in the hall.
Oh my god, Lu Xiaomei is so proud that even Japanese nobles came to her banquet in person.
"Matsuhira-kun, you are late."
Lu Xiaomei said with a smile.
This smile can make one's bones sore from laughter.
"Ms. Lu, I'm so sorry." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro bowed slightly.
"Ah, Matsudaira-kun, let me introduce to you, the person in charge of the Far East region of Ganto Co., Ltd., Mr. Hisashi Mitsui."
Following Lu Xiaomei's introduction, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan.
The noisy sounds around them just now disappeared, and everyone's eyes fell on these two people.
Xu Chengbo's heart immediately lifted.
Damn it, who would have thought that Lu Xiaomei would actually invite Matsudaira Tetsuhiro tonight?
Is there any Iwato Co., Ltd. in Japan? This is simply made up.
Now, everything was exposed.
It's a pity that I didn't bring a gun with me today. What if something goes wrong?
"Mitsui-kun." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro suddenly said: "Since we said goodbye in Tokyo, I haven't seen you for a year."
ah?
Xu Chengbo was confused.
what happened? How did Tetsuhiro Matsudaira know Boss Meng?
And, did you really call him "Mitsui-kun"?
this?
How did Boss Meng do it?
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled: "Your Excellency Songping, it's been a long time."
Lu Xiaomei was very curious: "Do you know each other?"
"Of course we know each other. The Matsudaira family and the Mitsui family have been friends for many generations." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro introduced: "Everyone, you may be a little unfamiliar with Iwato Co., Ltd., but the iron ore resources of the Empire of Japan in the Far East are all made of Iwato Co., Ltd. is responsible.”
With a "wow" sound, the scene was in an uproar.
At this time, those people looked at "Mitsui Hisashi" differently.
Are all the iron ore resources in the Far East owned by the Mitsui family?
Not to mention the astronomical profits that can be made here, to achieve this, how powerful does the Mitsui family have in Japan?
That's right. We have been friends with the powerful Matsudaira family for generations. How can this relationship be so small?
It can even be said that Iwato Co., Ltd. simply represents the Japanese government.
Several traitors immediately began to figure out how to get closer to pleasing this "Mitsui Shou".
"Since Mr. Songping is here, please ask Mr. Songping to say a few words for everyone." Meng Shaoyuan took the lead and said.
Applause broke out again.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was not polite and talked about commonplaces such as Sino-Japanese friendship and so on.
These traitors would never give up such a good opportunity, and the applause was getting louder and louder.
"You are all friends of the Empire of Japan." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro then changed the subject: "How to stabilize and prosper the Japanese economy requires the joint efforts of everyone here. In order to show the sincerity of the Empire of Japan, after research and discussion, the Japanese government Decided to issue 'goodwill bonds' in China."
The scene immediately became quiet.
Goodwill bonds?
Lending money to the Japanese government?
this?
It’s easy to borrow money, but what about paying it back?
If the Japanese default on their debts, who will they ask for their money?
Be careful, be cautious.
Even die-hard traitors like Yang Boyan, Li Ruzhang, and Shao Puyun remained silent.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was a little unhappy.
When he came to China this time, in addition to being responsible for the international delegation to China, he also had another task, which was to supervise the implementation of "goodwill bonds" in China to relieve the financial pressure of the Japanese government.
"Goodwill bonds" were issued forcibly in Northeast China, North China and other places, and it is said that the issuance was quite good.
As for Shanghai, in addition to being China's financial center, the situation is also relatively complicated, especially the existence of public concessions, which makes forced implementation difficult.
Therefore, this important task falls on Matsudaira Tetsuhiro, the "future of the Matsudaira family".
As for Lu Xiaomei, her true identity was that she was sent to assist him.
It is easier for a woman, a socialite, to do many things.
Seeing that there was some silence, Lu Xiaomei took the lead and said: "I think the friendship between China and Japan is related to the future destiny of China. I am a prostitute and don't understand the rules, but I still understand this simple truth. Since Mr. Matsudaira said it, I will be the first to buy it. 100,000 yen bonds. Although 100,000 yen is not much, it is already all my property. I hope you will consider the fate of yourself and China and subscribe enthusiastically."
After she said this, coupled with Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's face, it would be unjustifiable for these traitors not to speak up.
"Ms. Xiaomei is really a chivalrous woman." Yang Boyan said with a smile: "In that case, I subscribe for 50,000 yen."
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro snorted unknownly.
These people usually keep saying they are loyal to the Japanese Empire, but what about at the critical moment?
A big boss actually subscribes for more bonds than a woman.
Yang Boyan said, the others also have 50,000 yuan for you and 30,000 yuan for me.
After much calculation, I didn't even get half a million yen.
Logically speaking, this is a big number, but it is far from what Matsudaira Tetsuhiro expected.
The problem is, we can’t send the gendarmerie to publicly go to public concessions with bayonets to force them to collect donations, right?
In Tohoku, a huge amount of 8 million yen was raised in just a few days.
Although Shanghai, a financial center, may not be able to raise that much money, it can't be too different, right?
"Everyone, please let me say a few words."
Suddenly, Meng Shaoyuan said: "This time the Empire of Japan issued goodwill bonds in China, it is a symbol of the eternal friendship between China and Japan. I know that you all have your own ideas, and the Empire of Japan will never make things difficult. Friend’s matter. Therefore, on behalf of Iwato Co., Ltd., I officially announce here that our company will use iron ore stocks in China and various places in the Far East as collateral to raise goodwill bonds!"
Suddenly, whispers broke out.
"Quiet, quiet." Meng Shaoyuan asked everyone to quiet down: "Each share is 10,000 yen, and the minimum purchase is 10,000 shares. Before the bond matures and is repaid, bond buyers can enjoy the income from iron ore stocks. And bonds Interest will be calculated separately. On the maturity date of the bond, those who repay will automatically give up their shares in the company. Those who are unwilling to repay will be regarded as permanent shareholders of Ganto Co., Ltd.!"
This can happen, this really can happen!
The income from iron ore is so huge that the dividends enjoyed far exceed the interest on bonds. When the day of bond repayment really comes, no one will be willing to sell except those who are in urgent need of money.
Then you can become a permanent shareholder of the iron mine!
"Thank you Mitsui-kun." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro nodded with satisfaction: "With the guarantee from the Imperial Japanese Government and the stock pledge of Iwato Co., Ltd., I think you should rest assured."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Ruzhang said impatiently: "I subscribe..."
"No need to worry." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro interrupted: "This matter can be handled tomorrow. I will entrust Ms. Lu Xiaomei with full authority to issue bonds on my behalf."
"Yandu Co., Ltd. will also entrust Ms. Lu Xiaomei with full authority." Meng Shaoyuan said, "Please, Ms. Xiaomei."
In an instant, Lu Xiaomei became the most popular woman in Shanghai!
"Ouch, you guys are really going to tire me out."
Lu Xiaomei looked unhappy: "It's too tiring to do so many things."
Good guy, a few traitors looked at each other.
This is helping the Empire of Japan, aren't you happy about it?
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro and Mitsui Hisashi are so new to Lu Xiaomei. This woman's background is definitely not simple.
Yang Boyan wanted to please Lu Xiaomei: "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Xiaomei. This is indeed hard work. Let's do this. For every bond, I will give Ms. Xiaomei another 100 yen as hard work fee and buy more supplements to nourish her." "
Lu Xiaomei immediately gave Yang Boyan a wink, which made Yang Boyan's whole body go numb.
The other traitors were very frustrated. Why didn't they think of such a good solution? At that time, if you had one hundred, I would give you two hundred. This scene was much more lively than when Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was selling bonds just now.
"Thank you, Ms. Xiaomei." Tetsuhiro Matsudaira bowed slightly: "I will have the bonds delivered early tomorrow morning."
"Don't be too early, I don't get up until ten o'clock." Lu Xiaomei confessed charmingly.
"Then, everyone, I will take my leave." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro faced everyone and bowed again: "Long live the friendship between China and Japan!"
"Long live China-Japan friendship!"
Amidst cheers, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was sent out by the stars.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Chengbo asked quietly, confused.
"Me? There is good friendship between China and Japan." Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly: "Long live the goodwill between China and Japan."
"you."
Xu Chengbo was speechless.
What are you thinking about?
"Mr. Mitsui." Lu Xiaomei came over: "Look, you found so many things for me when you came here."
"Ms. Xiaomei, I will treat you to dinner another day to make amends. You can choose any restaurant in Shanghai."
