Yoshitomo Takeda was in a bad mood.
Faced with the hypocrisy and resistance of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu representatives, Takeda Yoshitomo was no longer in the mood to laugh with them and let Yuan Bao deal with them.
And she entered Yan Qi's private room.
Yan Qizheng was drinking alone in the room.
Seeing Yoshitomo Takeda come in, he couldn't help but joke: "Why are you here, Mr. Takeda? Today is your highlight moment. Why don't you go out to deal with those benefactors and come here to be lonely with me?"
"Why!"
Takeda Yoshitomo shook his head, sat on the crook of Yan Qi's legs, and pursed his red lips: "This is a highlight moment, it is not as good as the strategizing feeling when the South China Sea trade issue was not resolved."
Yan Qixiang took a sip from Takeda Yoshitomo: "What happened to my Lord Takeda? He was fine just now, but he became depressed in the blink of an eye?"
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "It's all because of the Thirty-six Zaibatsu representatives that makes me feel bad."
Yan Qi smiled narrowly: "Why did they offend you? You are their great benefactor. They should be enthusiastic and grateful towards you. Without your intervention, the business empire they have worked so hard to build will fall apart."
Yoshitomo Takeda sighed leisurely: "My lords don't know something. They are not enthusiastic and grateful towards me. Not only that, they also criticize me a lot."
"oh?"
Yan Qi was very interested: "Tell me and listen."
Takeda Yoshitomo said: "They actually told me that they wanted me to negotiate with you to reduce or reduce their compensation. However, the compensation we asked them for was already a very favorable price, and they still wanted to reduce it. This is not Have you got into the eyes of money?"
"Compared to the interruption of trade in the South China Sea, this compensation is just a drop in the bucket. It's nothing. But even with this compensation, they actually want to halve it. Isn't this going too far?"
"I immediately expressed my position that I can ask Lord Yan about this matter, but if Lord Yan gets angry and turns over the compensation, then he won't be able to blame me."
"After hearing what I said, the representative of the Thirty-six Chaebols immediately became unwilling. He demanded that I not be allowed to mention the matter to Mr. Yan. He even criticized me and said that if the compensation was doubled, it would be unnecessary. I will take care of that part."
"What is this? Why do I feel a bit like killing a donkey? I just solved the South China Sea trade issue, and you treat me like this. It's disgusting."
"Before the South China Sea trade issue was resolved, the thirty-six chaebol representatives were as obedient as a pug in front of me, wagging their tails. After the South China Sea trade issue was resolved, they became cold-faced and even dared to criticize me. .”
"This is really unreasonable."
Yan Qi couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this.
Yoshitomo Takeda's cheeks turned red, and he lightly hit Yan Qi's chest with his pink fist: "Why are you still laughing at me, sir? I'm almost mad. These representatives of the chaebol have turned their backs on each other. Don't they even appreciate my help to them at all?" ?」
Yan Qi suppressed his smile and looked deeply: "My Lord Takeda, what is there to be angry about with the face of the representatives of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu? Isn't this their truest face?"
Yoshitomo Takeda asked: "What are their true faces?"
Yan Qidao: "Does this need to be said? You can tell by looking at his name, chaebol, chaebol, what they value most is of course money."
"Money?" Yoshitomo Takeda thought thoughtfully.
Yan Qidao: "What is a chaebol? A family that regards money as its norm is called a chaebol."
"The biggest difference between the zaibatsu and the shogunate is that the zaibatsu only sees money and he only befriends money. The shogunate's first goal is not money, but power, territory, people's livelihood, geography, and strategy."
"The power of chaebols is very strong, and chaebols will also serve in the imperial court. However, their purpose of becoming officials is not for the livelihood of the people and the country, but their goal is to make money."
"So it can be said that only money can control the power of these plutocrats. Other than that, there is no other way."
When Yoshitomo Takeda heard this, he seemed to have some realization.
Yan Qidao: "When they complimented you before, it was because they asked for something from you. Interrupting the South China Sea trade issue is equivalent to interrupting their path to wealth. This is more uncomfortable than digging their ancestral graves. For this reason, they do not hesitate to We must restore trade in the South China Sea at all costs, and we don’t even bother to threaten Tokugawa Masahiko to initiate a regime change.”
"These plutocrats suddenly came to you and gathered around you. They were smiling brightly and keeping their posture low. Why? Do they really value your ability? Do they really value your ability? Do you want to unite around you and do things for you?"
Yoshitomo Takeda shook his head: "It certainly doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, but I once naively thought that I could really take them under my command."
Yan Qidao: "To put it cruelly, they just fancy that you can solve the South China Sea trade problem. They used to follow Tokugawa Seihiko because Tokugawa Seihiko could guarantee their fortune. They also used to listen to Tokugawa Taiyasu. Because Tokugawa Taiyasu opened their South China Sea trade route."
"But why did they suddenly not listen to Tokugawa Seihiko and Tokugawa Taiyasu? Because they found that the South China Sea trade problem cannot be solved by Tokugawa Taiyasu and Tokugawa Seihiko. So, who can solve it? Only you Takeda Yoshitomo. "
"So, the Thirty-Six Conglomerates did not hesitate to move closer to you. The fundamental reason is because you have the ability to solve the South China Sea trade problem."
"Now that the problem is solved and your help is no longer needed, why do I continue to compliment you?"
Takeda Yoshitomo couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Yan Qi's words.
After a long time, he sighed: "What a reality."
Yan Qidao: "It is indeed reality. This is what chaebols are like. They only have money in their eyes! Loyalty, emotion, and morality are all worthless in their eyes."
"But there is no need for you to be distressed by the reality that you only discovered it at thirty-six."
"You have to think about it, how loyal the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu were to Tokugawa Seihiko, but for the sake of money, they abandoned Tokugawa Seihiko and stood in front of you. This is equivalent to standing with Tokugawa Seihiko. The opposite of Yan."
"Think about it, is Tokugawa Seuhiko a hundred times more aggrieved than you?"
Hearing this, Takeda Yoshitomo smiled happily: "Sir, you can really persuade people. Since they have no loyalty to Tokugawa Seihiko, they will naturally not take me seriously. Thinking of this, I feel relieved."
Yan Qi hugged Takeda Yoshitomo's waist tightly, feeling her surge: "It doesn't matter whether you are relieved or not. In this world, as long as I keep you in my heart, everyone else is like a floating cloud."
"grown ups……"
Takeda Yoshitomo's face turned red and her heart beat. She nestled her soft body in Yan Qi's arms and rubbed her gently: "My heart is filled with joy when I hear your love words."
