Chapter 469: Income under the door (seeking a monthly ticket)
Ning Zhiheng was overjoyed. He raised his glass again and said to Takeshi Ishikawa: "It's great, Takeshi, come, have a drink for our cooperation! I wish our career a smooth sailing!"
"Okay, everything goes smoothly! Do it!"
The two raised their glasses and invited them together, and drank them all in one go.
Ning Zhiheng was very happy at this time. The most important task of coming to Shanghai this time was to establish this trade deal. Now the first step is to complete it smoothly.
In his understanding, the work of the intelligence front is multifaceted. The work of the intelligence station he envisioned should not be just blasting and assassination, nor is it just as simple as obtaining various political and military intelligence.
His eyes would never be so short-sighted. What he values more is the geographical and commercial advantages of Shanghai, a metropolis in the Far East. He wants to establish a safe smuggling channel here, break through the Japanese blockade line, and safely deliver various materials to the hands of the Chinese government.
You should know that in the years of anti-Japanese resistance, because major coastal cities were occupied by the Japanese, the Chinese government's various urgently needed materials were completely blocked by the Japanese, and various military supplies in the country were increasingly scarce, so that two years later, the Chinese government had to give up Shanghai, the most important transportation line, and finally re-established the material import channel in the French Concession in Guangzhou Bay, and the situation was alleviated.
But the good times did not last long. In order to cut off this transportation line, the Japanese quickly occupied Hong Kong and instead captured Guangzhou Bay. They once again forced the Chinese government to open new transportation lines from the southwest to maintain the huge consumption of the Anti-Japanese War. Later, the famous Hump Transportation Line was established in this context.
Ning Zhiheng is focusing on this. He wants to lay a hidden transportation line in advance to build a lifeline for future anti-Japanese needs. In this sense, the importance of this task is by no means comparable to blasting several military warehouses or killing several military targets.
Takeshi Ishikawa said again: "If I want the customs checkpoint in Wusongkou to be released, the certificate I issued is not allowed. I must have the certificate and official seal of my immediate boss, Colonel Katsuda Takashi, but he is also from Kyoto. We are fellow villagers, so you can go his way. It is no problem to issue a few certificates."
Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "That's good. You can see these things. As long as you are a person, there is nothing you don't like money. It is best to be able to connect his links. Only with long-term cooperation in the future can our business last long."
The two people slowly agreed on the details, and finally Ning Zhiheng asked: "I am back this time, and the staff in Shanghai are very tight. I plan to arrange an old man in this trading business, but he is now in some trouble."
"What's the trouble?" asked Takeshi Ishikawa.
So Ning Zhiheng carefully introduced the matter of Hirao Daichi and finally said, "It is said that this Kono Company has something to do with your military police headquarters. Do you understand this situation?"
Hearing Ning Zhiheng's narration, Takeshi Ishikawa smiled and replied disapprovingly: "It turns out to be Kono Club, this is too simple!"
It turned out that Kono Club was a newly established trading business. The owner was a Japanese businessman, Ryosuke Kono, and from Yokohama.
After he arrived in Shanghai, he immediately found his fellow villager Master Haruhiro Sakata in the military police headquarters. With the help of Haruhiro Sakata, he quickly gained a foothold. When he invited Haruhiro Sakata to the banquet, Takeshi Ishikawa was also invited to attend, so he knew about this Kono Club.
"Haruki Sakata, what is the background of this person?" Ning Zhiheng frowned. It seemed that he was the backstage of Kono Ryosuke. No wonder the police station was so obedient. After all, the military police headquarters was their immediate superior.
"Background?" Ishikawa Takeshi poured a glass of sake for Ning Zhiheng with disdain, and then continued to fill it up. "What background does he have? He has only become a major when he is almost forty years old. He is just a fisherman in Yokohama and a civilian!"
Unlike young and strong officers like Takeshi Ishikawa, many civilian officers are very unsuccessful in the army. They have no background and backstage, nor do they have a noble status like Takeshi Ishikawa. They have reached this point entirely by enduring hard times. It is also good. Shunhui Sakata is one of them!
As long as the nobles like Takeshi Ishikawa have a little performance, the military will take care of them. After all, Japan is a society with very strict hierarchy, even in the army. Takeshi Ishikawa has become an intermediate officer in the army in his twenties, and he occupies an important position in the military headquarters and holds certain real power. His status is incomparable to civilian officers like Haruke Sakata.
"Zhiren, let me leave this matter to me. Sakata is very sensible and knows the importance of it. He will not offend me and you, the child of the Fujiwara family for a fellow villager. He does not have the qualifications yet, so don't worry!" Takeshi Ishikawa did not take this colleague Sakata Haruhui at all. He raised his glass to invite him, and the two of them drank it all in one go.
The two of them spoke freely and drank happily. When Ning Zhiheng returned to the villa, he had already cleaned up his tidy and clean Taiyo Dazhi, waiting to welcome his return at the door.
"Sir, you are back!" Hirao Daichi bowed and greeted respectfully.
This time he directly called Ning Zhiheng a Mr. This is already the right position and he regards himself as Ning Zhiheng's subordinates.
Ning Zhiheng nodded, entered the living room, sat on the sofa, and then said to Hirao Daichi: "Your matter has been resolved, the police station will cancel your case soon. As for the Kono Club, there will be news soon!"
"Thank you so much!" Hei Otsuki couldn't help crying happily when he heard Ning Zhiheng's words. He had been tortured by this matter for so many days and was chased to hide like a dog. However, the husband had just gone out and solved the matter.
After all, he is a child of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto. The background and strength behind him are unimaginable to a small person like him. In this world, the weak must rely on the strong and hide under their wings to survive safely. Hirao Daichi secretly made up his mind and seize this opportunity no matter what.
Ning Zhiheng said lightly: "I want to open a trade bank in Shanghai. You deal with merchants every day and are familiar with the situation in Shanghai. The preparations for this trade bank will be handed over to you, and the usual business management work will be handed over to you. Can you complete it?"
Ning Zhiheng's words made Hirao Daichi completely stunned. He couldn't speak for a long time. He didn't expect that as soon as his husband spoke, he would start to build a trade deal and hand over all his work directly to his own hands. How much he valued and trusted it.
As soon as he turned from a down-and-out fugitive, he became the manager of a trading business. Such a gorgeous turn made him suddenly feel like he was in a dream.
"What? Is there any difficulties!" Ning Zhiheng said coldly. He does not raise idle people. If Hiraoshi's ability is not enough and cannot be used by him, then this person must give up and no time to cultivate it.
"No, no, there is no problem! Sir, what I do all year round is these trivial matters of trade. These things are not problems at all. As long as you believe me, I will be ready for this trade deal soon." Hirao Daichi finally woke up, bent his body respectfully, and kept agreeing.
Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction. According to his judgment, people like Hirao Dazhi have been wandering in the business world all year round, smart and capable, and have no shortage of brains.
Besides, the most important thing in business is the path and background. With these two things, even a pig can make money, and the rest are secondary!
More importantly, Hirao Dazhi was desperate and committed to his disciples. He was trustworthy in his loyalty. Now he was not available to him, so he was indeed a good choice.
"I am going to invest 100,000 US dollars as reserve, and the trade scale will continue to expand in the future. You'd better do some preparations in advance. I'm very tight, so you have to start immediately!" Ning Zhiheng ordered.
Hundred thousand dollars? Hirao Dachi only felt his head buzzing. He had been rolling in the mall for many years, but he had never been exposed to such a large amount of funds. This is a trading company of a considerable scale. Now that he actually wants to become the manager of such a company, it is simply unimaginable!
"In addition, the Nanwu Library I was planning to build before will also start preparations immediately and rebuild them as soon as possible. You can contact this matter. I have the drawings here. You only need to contact the construction team. Do you understand?" Ning Zhiheng ordered again.
"Hiyi, I will start to handle these things immediately. Please rest assured, sir!" Hirao Daichi has now completed the change of his mentality at an extremely fast speed, bringing himself into the role, saying hesitant and confidently.
Ning Zhiheng then ordered: "You can withdraw the funds you need directly from Akagi. There is no major matter, so don't ask me for instructions!"
"I understand!" Hirao Dazhi agreed quickly, and then he quickly turned around and bowed respectfully to Yi Huaan who was standing behind Ning Zhiheng, "I'll also ask Akagi to take care of him in the future!"
He knew very well that this Akagi Yukihito was the true trusted retainer of the gentleman, and all his actions were probably under the supervision of Akagi Jun. However, he had made up his mind to follow the gentleman wholeheartedly and get along well with each other in the future!
Yi Huaan nodded arrogantly and did not say anything!
