The thirty-six chaebol representatives are all top-notch people. Although they are greedy for money, their basic logical thinking is still very good.
After all, if they want their clan leader to come out, something earth-shattering must happen.
Otherwise, the leader of the clan will definitely stay within his own sphere of influence and will not move out easily.
Thirty-six chaebols, you look to me and I look to you.
Their eyes communicated with each other, and they slowly shook their heads.
"Lord Tokugawa, the matter of tax refund is not very complicated. Why does the clan leader need to come forward? We can handle it."
"Please Tokugawa-sama, please give us a reason for the clan leader to come out. Why is it that the clan leader must come forward?"
"Yes, if you don't give us a suitable reason, we don't want the money."
…
The thirty-six chaebols advanced and retreated together, reaching a consensus.
Hearing this, Tokugawa Taiyasu secretly screamed in his heart that things were going to get worse.
Unexpectedly, the Thirty-six Zaibatsu, a gang of money-minded people, would be so uncooperative.
hateful.
Just when Tokugawa Taiyasu was at a loss and about to reach a dead end, Yan Qi stood up and expressed his stance again with a smile on his face.
Yan Qi's little knowledge is written by Yan Qi.
When Tokugawa Taikang asked the patriarch of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu to go to the capital to receive the tax refund in person, he guessed what medicine Tokugawa Taikang was selling in his gourd.
This is clearly a trick to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with Tokugawa Taiyasu's plan.
Because the reason why the Thirty-six Zaibatsu dared to confront the Tokugawa Shogunate head-on was because their clan leader, Shenlong, would not appear in the Japanese capital at all, and was entrenched within the respective spheres of influence of the four major islands.
This will ensure their absolute safety.
After all, it is one-third of one acre of land.
Whatever the thirty-six chaebols want to do, they always send chaebol representatives to do it on behalf of the clan leader.
In this way, even if something unexpected happens to these chaebol representatives, it will not cause a setback to the entire family, leaving them without a leader.
This is also the real reason why Tokugawa Seuhiko did not kill these chaebol representatives.
Now that Tokugawa Taiyasu is forcing the heads of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu to go to the capital on the pretext of tax refunds, it will naturally arouse the suspicion of these Zaibatsu representatives.
Yan Qi knew that Tokugawa Taikang's plan was not wrong, but there were still two flaws.
The first flaw is that it was done too hastily.
The second flaw is that it ignores the power of the unity of the thirty-six chaebols.
If Tokugawa Taiyasu can tell the truth slowly and summon representatives of the Thirty-six Zaibatsu alone to defeat each one, Tokugawa Taiyasu's plan will definitely succeed.
Now that Tokugawa Taiyasu was so anxious that he told the plan in public, wouldn't it have given the representatives of the Thirty-Six Zaibatsu a chance to discuss it in public.
Three cobblers, the best Zhuge Liang.
What's more, there are thirty-six representatives of the plutocrats who are as shrewd as monkeys.
There was no other way, Yan Qi was a "good guy" with "old ways and warm heart", and he couldn't see that Tokugawa Taikang was so poor in skills, so he had to stand up and help Tokugawa Taikang again.
Yan Qi smiled with a smile on his face: "Members of the chaebol representatives, didn't you understand? There is something in Lord Tokugawa's words. Didn't you understand the mystery behind it?"
The talent representatives were confused.
"Master Yan, how do you say this? What is the mystery in Master Tokugawa's words?"
"We didn't hear any knowledge."
…
Even Tokugawa Taiyasu, who was standing aside, was extremely surprised.
There is no mystery in my words. Yan Qi knows that they are far-fetched and make things out of nothing.
However, Tokugawa Taiyasu regarded the appearance of Yan Qi as a life-saving straw and hurriedly agreed: "That's right, fellow chaebol representatives, there is indeed a mystery in what I said, but you didn't hear it."
Everyone asked Tokugawa Taiyasu: "What's the mystery?"
"Hey, this is..."
Tokugawa Taiyasu has one head and two big heads. How could he know what the mystery is? He hurriedly looked at Yan Qi and said, "The mysteries I have been showing off to myself will be meaningless if I tell them again. Please ask Master Yan to understand them for me."
Yan Qi laughed and looked at Tokugawa Taiyasu, with mockery and teasing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Tokugawa Taiyasu hurriedly lowered his posture and bowed deeply to Yan Qi: "Master Yan has understood the mysteries and explained them in simple terms, which is very easy for people to understand. Please do your best, Master Yan."
"Oh well."
Yan Qi flicked the dust off his body and started talking nonsense.
"Representatives of the chaebols, you should also know that the tax money in the Japanese treasury is limited. It is very difficult to refund all the taxes of the Thirty-Six Chaebols. Some of them may not have cash, so the payment can only be delayed."
"Then the question is, since the payment is to be delayed, then to whom should the delay be given? This is important, right??"
"If the chaebol clan leaders rush to the capital in person to hold talks with Tokugawa Seihiko, it will be equivalent to giving Tokugawa Seihiko a face, and Tokugawa Seihihi will naturally be embarrassed to delay payment for you."
"And those chaebol patriarchs who have not come to meet Tokugawa Seuhiko will probably delay their payment. Does this make sense?"
"Tokugawa Taiyasu, was there anything wrong with what I just explained? Did it explain well what you didn't say?"
Tokugawa Taiyasu was overjoyed and slapped his thigh hard: "Master Yan's interpretation is so good, I admire you. This is exactly what I have no nerve to say."
Tokugawa Taiyasu really admired Yan Qi to death and wished he could kneel down to Yan Qi and kowtow three times.
Although, Yan Qi is his mortal enemy.
He understood what Yan Qi meant.
Yan Qi's words clearly played a role in dividing the representatives of the Thirty-Six Chaebols.
Its main intention is to defeat them one by one.
Yan Qi is really a genius.
While Tokugawa Taikang envies Yan Qi, he is also more wary of Yan Qi. Why should he help him speak?
However, after thinking about it, he didn't know what kind of medicine Yan Qi Gourd sold.
This plunged Tokugawa Taiyasu into even greater anxiety.
Yan Qicai ignored Tokugawa Taiyasu's confusion and smiled at the representative of the Thirty-six Zaibatsu Group: "In other words, if you have infinite respect for Tokugawa Chengnian, Tokugawa Chengyan will give you unlimited rewards. This The logic is easy to understand."
"Of course, if your clan leader does not go to the capital to give face to Tokugawa Seihiko, Tokugawa Seihiko will still give you a tax refund. After all, is he the British master? He must practice what he preaches and keep his words."
"But how long does the delayed tax refund need to be delayed? How many days? Months? Years or decades? This is the scale. Everyone here is a big businessman, so you must understand the trick. Use us As the saying goes in Dahua: If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot. Do I need to say the rest?"
When the representatives of the Thirty-Six Chaebols heard this, they immediately became alert.
There was a lot of whispering and discussion.
"Yan Qi is right, that's the truth."
"If we really want to delay the tax refund, then I don't know that it will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey."
"I didn't realize this meaning. Oh, what a mistake, what a mistake?"
"If you say that, do you really want the clan leader to go to the capital in person to meet the British Lord?"
…
The chaebol representatives had a heated discussion, and their opinions immediately became less unified.
Yan Qi had a stinking look on his face: The differentiation strategy will have immediate results!
The ultimate personal servant
