"I'm going to take a shower, you should ventilate my office right away, get some spices to deodorize, and then find me a clean dress." Naoko Kaneko knew that he couldn't meet the distinguished guest like this, and ordered after a while.

"Yes, master shopkeeper." Yoshida Aohara bowed in response.

After a long while, Kaneko Naokichi, who had been washed and put on new clothes, came to the reception room in good spirits.Through the glass on the door, I saw a foreigner in his 30s sitting there drinking tea, and two public relations in kimonos sat next to him, one on the left and one on the right.

Naoko Kaneko straightened his clothes subconsciously, pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing the big shopkeeper come in, the two PRs quickly stood up.

"Okay, there's nothing else for you, let's go out!" Kaneko Naokichi waved at the two of them, telling them to back off.

"Mr. Naokichi Kaneko, hello, I'm Thomas Gibson, Deputy Manager of Asia Region of Star Flag Bank." The foreigner didn't stop, and introduced himself in fluent Japanese.

If it was normal, and others were so arrogant to him, Naokichi Kaneko would definitely walk away.But facing the Deputy Manager of Asia Region of Star Flag Bank today, Naoko Kaneko not only showed no displeasure, but thought that this is what a manager of a big bank should have.If the other party is polite to him, he will even wonder if this person is really from Star Flag Bank.

"Mr. Gibson, hello, I am Kaneko Naokichi, the big shopkeeper of Suzuki Trading Company in Japan. Your Japanese is the best among foreigners I have ever seen." He bowed deeply and introduced himself.

"Mr. Jinzi, you're too much of an award, and I've only learned a little bit." Gibson's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and he was still humble there.

"You are too modest, please drink tea." Naoko Kaneko poured a cup of tea for Gibson and sat down on his knees.

"Hehe, I've had enough tea. I won't be polite to you anymore, let's talk about serious business." Gibson smiled and said.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting, please tell me." Hearing what he said, Naokichi Kaneko immediately lowered his head to apologize, and then sat upright, pretending to be listening attentively.

"I know that Suzuki Trading Co. is facing great difficulties now. The business of our Star Flag Bank is not limited to the financial field, so we are willing to inject capital into Suzuki Trading Co., Ltd. to become a shareholder of Suzuki Trading Co., Ltd. This is a win-win choice for us. Suzuki Trading Company can get out of the predicament, and we can expand our business in Japan." Gibson said without hiding it, going straight to the point.

"Facing very big difficulties? Where did you get the news? I think you have misunderstood. Our Suzuki Trading Company has always been doing well..." Kaneko Naokichi said with a look of surprise, he is well versed in negotiation skills , You can't let others know your situation casually, otherwise this foreigner doesn't know how to kill himself!

Before he could finish speaking, Gibson stood up all of a sudden, and said with a displeased face: "Since you say that, then you got the wrong information, so I won't bother you, goodbye!"

After all, Gibson was about to walk out.

"Your Excellency Gibson, please stay!" Kaneko Naokichi panicked when he saw Gibson like this, and hurriedly shouted.He didn't expect this foreigner to look like this, get up and leave without saying a word.

In fact, Naokichi Kaneko made a mistake, and Suzuki faced great difficulties. Nine out of ten Japanese knew about it.It was still hidden at this time, so Gibson naturally walked away.

"What's the matter? Mr. Kaneko Naokichi, is there anything else you can do?" Gibson turned his head and asked coldly.

"I'm really sorry, I was wrong just now. Our Suzuki Trading Company is indeed facing difficulties, please help us through this difficulty!" Kaneko Naokichi no longer cared about negotiating skills this time, bowing his body and lowering his head to request road.

Chapter 14 enters Suzuki

Kaneko Naoyoshi forgot all about face and everything for Suzuki Trading Company. Now he only knows that Gibson must not be let go, otherwise Suzuki Trading Company will have to close its doors.

"Okay, for the sake of your sincere desire to stay, I'll talk to you again. Alas, I'm just too soft-hearted." Of course, Gibson didn't really want to leave. Seeing Naokichi Kaneko begging like this, He sighed and walked to the seat and sat down.

Naokichi Kaneko bowed and apologized, and the tea and water pourer worked for a long time before Gibson calmed down.

"To be honest, our Suzuki Trading Company has indeed reached the most difficult time. I hope that Mr. Gibson will definitely extend his hand to help us." Kaneko Naokichi said with a sob between his words, and lowered his head.

"You are right to say that. We, Star Flag Bank, came here with great sincerity. We should treat each other frankly and negotiate this business. After all, this is beneficial to both of us. Your attitude just now makes I'm very upset, but fortunately it's me who came here this time, and someone else would have left without looking back." Gibson said with a look of resentment for his son, trying to teach his son a lesson.

"What you're saying is that you don't know how much money your bank plans to inject into Suzuki Trading Company?" Naokichi Kaneko was taught a lesson by Gibson, but he could only bow his head and say yes.

"There is no definite number for this, after all, I don't know the specific situation of Suzuki Trading Company now.

However, this was Naokichi Kaneko's own idea, and some people expressed opposition to his proposal as soon as it was put forward on the board of directors.

"Jin Zijun, I think you are confused. Now people all over the world know that Xingqi Bank and the Chinese are in the same group. If you let Xingqi Bank invest in Suzuki, isn't it equivalent to selling Suzuki to the Chinese? !” Upon hearing that Naokichi Kaneko was going to accept capital injection from Star Flag Bank, Jusanrou Suzuki, one of the shareholders of the trading company, was the first to stand up to object.

"Yes, Kaneko-kun. Thirteen Lang is right. Even if Suzuki is to go bankrupt, it cannot fall into the hands of the Chinese. If that is the case, we will gain a foothold in Japan with dignity!" Suzuki Kojiro also expressed his support Thirteen Suzuki.

"Our Suzuki trading company has received the grace of the emperor, and we must not do things that are sorry for the Empire of Japan and the emperor!" Inoue Hoshino slapped the table and stood up and shouted.

"That's right. We can't be sorry to the Empire of Japan, let alone the Emperor..." When the people below heard that Inoue Hoshino took off the title of loyalty and patriotism, everyone naturally didn't dare to oppose him and echoed.

"Everyone, listen to me." Naokichi Kaneko knew that if he let them continue talking, today's meeting would be unnecessary, so he stood up and said.

Naoko Kaneko has had a great track record with Suzuki over the years.The prestige is also very high. When he spoke, other people shut their mouths and looked at the big shopkeeper.

"I admit that Xingqi Bank has a good impression of Chinese people, but this does not mean that Xingqi Bank and Chinese people wear a pair of pants. Everyone knows that Westerners are very arrogant. They think that our east is an uncivilized land. The reason why they I am willing to give a large amount of money to China, mainly because of the huge benefits hidden in it. You must know that this is not a small amount, a loan of 40 billion US dollars, no one will take such a large amount of money Just kidding, even the British only provided China with a loan of [-] million pounds. Without these benefits, how could Star Flag Bank lend such a large amount of money to China?" Kaneko Naokichi Look at the Suzuki brothers and Inoue Hoshino and others.

These people heard Kaneko Naokichi's words, and then thought of their own speech, they were swept away by Kaneko Naokichi's gaze, and they all lowered their heads in shame.

"Our Suzuki trading company is now a large enterprise with tens of thousands of workers. Bankruptcy is a move that cannot be taken unless it is a last resort. There are tens of thousands of families in Japan who still count on our trading company to support them. If we give up easily today, there will be tomorrow. 10,000+ people have no income. Now as long as we accept the capital injection from Star Flag Bank, our trading company can stand up again, and may even surpass Mitsui and Mitsubishi to become the number one chaebol in Japan. If we do not firmly grasp such a good opportunity , I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life in the future!" Naokichi Kaneko said impassionedly.

Looking at the excited Naokichi Kaneko, everyone couldn't help thinking along his line of thought. Yes, without the capital injection from Xingqi Bank, Suzuki Trading Company would have to go bankrupt. Bankruptcy is not good for everyone.

"I hope everyone will think carefully about it, Suzuki's future is in your hands, please!" Kaneko Naokichi said, bowing deeply.

When voting, the shareholders overwhelmingly agreed to accept the capital injection from Star Flag Bank.

With the $100 million that Gibson gave first, Naoko Kaneko immediately paid back the wages owed to the workers.Then I repaid part of the loan to the Bank of Taiwan to make it easier for them.

The speed of Xingqi Bank is very fast, but it only takes a few days.A group of people, led by Gibson, came down to meet Naokichi Kaneko. In the next half a month or so, they traveled all over Suzuki Trading Company's industries in Japan, and finally came up with an estimate that the total assets of Suzuki Trading Company were about 4000 million US dollars.

Although Naoko Kaneko seems to be too high a price, the current initiative is entirely in the hands of Star Flag Bank. In the end, he had to accept a capital injection of 1200 million US dollars from Star Flag Bank to obtain a 40% stake in Suzuki Trading Company.As a result, Xingqi Bank became the largest shareholder of Suzuki Trading Company.

Zhang Anle was very happy to learn that Star Flag Bank had successfully injected capital into Suzuki Trading Company.This was actually his temporary idea. When he had nothing to do that day, the system suddenly gave a reminder that a financial panic had occurred in Japan.One of the impacts was the bankruptcy of Suzuki Trading Company. Zhang Anle only found out what kind of company Suzuki Trading Company was after inquiring.

With such a good opportunity, Zhang Anle naturally would not miss it, and Naokichi Kaneko also grasped this life-saving straw as he expected.If Naoko Kaneko knew that the straw was actually a bomb, I don't know what he would think.

It's an ending

The smooth implementation of the five-year plan has made China leap into the ranks of world powers, while Japan, across the river, is steadily declining.

The Great Kanto Earthquake, the financial panic, and the financial crisis have made Japan's economy worse off year after year.Finally, the Emperor of Japan, who couldn't sit still, accepted Junnosuke Inoue's suggestion to implement the gold standard and fully lift the gold ban.

With the help of Star Flag Bank, China bought a large amount of Japanese gold.Due to the outflow of gold, Japan's economy was even more depressed.

In order to get rid of this predicament, Japan suddenly launched an attack on China on September 1931, 9.Known as the September 18th Incident in history, to everyone's surprise, Japan's desperate gamble hit the iron plate.

Zhang Xueliang, who had been on guard for a long time, withstood Japan's first round of attack, and then China declared war on Japan, and announced that all military aid to Japan would be regarded as an automatic declaration of war on China.

Three days later, the United Kingdom announced that it would abandon the gold standard and break away from the fixed exchange rate.At the same time, China and the United Kingdom signed the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance". China greatly reduced tariffs on many British products, and the United Kingdom announced that it would exchange the Hong Kong area of ​​​​the concession before the end of the year.

Japan's war situation in the Northeast became more and more unsatisfactory. At the end of September, China took back Lushun.The squadron drove the Japanese out of mainland China, and Japan was unwilling to fail.A large-scale increase of troops was sent to North Korea, and the number of Japanese soldiers in North Korea soon reached more than 9.

On October 10, China's National Day, China's North Sea and Yellow Sea Fleets laid mines in the Tsushima Strait to blockade the Tsushima Strait.The Chinese army crossed the Yalu River to fight against Japan, and the Japanese army retreated steadily.

The Japanese navy goes to war.They clamored to reproduce the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War and defeated China's navy in the Yellow Sea.In the First World War in the Yellow Sea, China's aircraft carrier formation made its debut. The Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses under the attack of China's overwhelmingly superior air force, and was hit hard by an ambush submarine on the way home.

The Emperor of Japan was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard the news.
