Chapter 210: Knowing Small Etiquette but Not Great Righteousness
The Japanese sent people to contact Renjiao Society, and it seemed very urgent.
The leader of Renjiaoshe is also an old fox. He can see that the other party needs his help, so he will not compromise easily. At this time, he should delay it, maybe there will be more benefits.
But he was still a little unsure about what benefits he should ask for. So he thought of Liu Hongmin, the little fox who must have an idea.
"Comrade Hongmin, come, come, sit down quickly." The leader smiled and poured tea for Liu Hongmin. "I recently got a piece of tea cake. How about trying it?"
Liu Hongmin didn't know much about tea, he only knew whether it tasted good or not. But he still took a sip and praised it: "It's really good."
Seeing his calm expression, the leader knew that this little fox had already known his purpose. So, he stopped hiding it and said, "Comrade Hongmin, the Japanese are getting a little impatient. I thought that since we still have to continue the cooperation, we might as well take the opportunity to make some money from them."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "I think the same thing. If we let them go so easily, we will be criticized to death in the future."
The leader nodded with satisfaction. Although Liu Hongmin, this little fox, is very bad, he has put himself in the right position.
Liu Hongmin went on to say, "The Japanese are very rich now. Since the Plaza Accord was signed, their economy has increased a lot every day. They are clamoring to buy Wall Street, which shows how rich they are."
The leader's eyes lit up, "Then how much money should we ask for?"
Liu Hongmin put down the teacup and said softly, "Leader, what we want is compensation."
The leader suddenly realized and said, "That's right, we want compensation."
"Then how much compensation should we ask for?"
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "If the leaders trust me, just let me talk to them."
When the leader heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Comrade Hongmin, I feel relieved with your words."
The Japanese diplomat came again to discuss the mutual review of textbooks. The staff told him that the president was not there, but had authorized Liu Hongmin.
Hearing the name Liu Hongmin, the diplomat's heart tightened immediately. He knew Liu Hongmin very well. Liu Hongmin was a typical anti-Japanese element, and it would not be easy to talk to him.
However, at this time he had no choice but to go meet Liu Hongmin.
"Comrade Hongmin, this is Jeff Kozuka."
Liu Hongmin sat on the chair and looked at Jeff Kozuka. This Japanese soldier had a sinister look on his face and was obviously not an upright person.
Jeff Kozuka was also examining Liu Hongmin. He wanted to find any flaws in Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Mr. Xiaozhong, please take a seat."
Xiaozuka Jeff bowed to express his gratitude. After sitting down, Liu Hongmin did not speak, but poured a cup of tea for Xiaozuka Jeff and motioned him to drink it. Xiaozuka Jeff picked up the teacup and drank it without saying a word.
Neither of them spoke, and the office was terribly quiet. Seeing this, the staff member immediately signaled to Liu Hongmin and walked out.
With only two people left, Xiaozuka Jeff began to get restless. He didn't want to speak first, because if he did, he would lose the opportunity. But he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, could he? He secretly glanced at Liu Hongmin, and saw that he looked calm and composed, and it was obvious that he didn't intend to speak first.
After persisting for a while, he had to speak up: "Mr. Liu, I think we can talk."
"What to talk about?" Liu Hongmin asked back.
"Regarding the mutual review of teaching materials..."
"What's wrong with the mutual review of textbooks?" Liu Hongmin asked casually. Xiaozuka Jeff was speechless and didn't know what to say. He had heard Liu Hongmin's meaning, that is, he didn't want to push this matter forward. Although there was intelligence that the Chinese side had a positive attitude towards this matter, no one could guarantee that this matter would still be successful if Liu Hongmin interfered.
"Mr. Liu, the incident at the International Education Information Center caused our mistake—"
"It's not a mistake, right?" Liu Hongmin interrupted him.
Jeff Xiaozuka looked embarrassed, "Mr. Liu——"
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "Mr. Xiaozhong, are you harboring evil intentions? Are you worthy of the friendship between the two peoples?"
Xiaozuka Jeff almost choked. There was no friendship between the two peoples. However, since Liu Hongmin had spoken out, things would be much easier.
"Mr. Liu, we are trying to make up for the friendship between our two peoples. Please give us a chance."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Then I wonder how Mr. Xiaozhong plans to make up for it?"
Xiaozuka Jeff also laughed, and said proudly: "Mr. Liu, I don't know if you have any conditions, just mention them."
Liu Hongmin glanced at him and said, "Mr. Xiaozhong, if you admit your mistakes, you must have the attitude to admit them."
Jeff Kozuka immediately lowered his head and became much more respectful.
"I made a mistake, Mr. Liu, please forgive me."
Liu Hongmin: "Mr. Xiaozhong, I want to see your sincerity. For such an important matter, there should be an apology letter, right? How do you want to make up for the friendship between the two peoples? There must be some measures? There must be a document to back it up, right?"
When Jeff Kozuka heard this, he immediately felt that the matter seemed to be serious. He didn't care about apologies or anything like that, which was already a traditional skill of the devils. But compensatory measures are not so easy to make. If they are not done well, they may backfire. What's more, they need to be backed by documents, which can be reviewed at any time. Once they make a mistake, the Chinese side can use the documents to slap them in the face at any time.
Although the Japanese are shameless, they will feel ashamed if they are beaten too many times.
Jeff Kozuka left and Liu Hongmin also returned home.
Li Lizhen came over with a cup of tea, "Honey, are you tired?"
"Not tired!" Liu Hongmin helped her sit down, then looked at Chen Yu, "Is there any news from Hong Kong?"
"Yes!" Chen Yu immediately came over with a stack of information, "This is the information that was just delivered today."
Liu Hongmin took the information and slowly flipped through it.
Li Lizhen was there to accompany him. Although she didn't understand what Liu Hongmin was doing, she was happy as long as she could be there with him.
The information in Liu Hongmin's hand was what the private detectives had investigated on the Japanese side. With this information, he could get more information, so that he could better grasp Xiaozuka Jiefu. Now the Japanese economy is good, and the Japanese are generous. If you don't take this opportunity to make a fortune, it would be a shame for this opportunity.
Chen Yu asked in a low voice: "Is this information useful?"
"It is somewhat useful." Liu Hongmin sighed. "It is indeed a bit unrealistic to let a private detective investigate the Japanese department. Many things cannot be investigated. I just hope to find something useful from some surface phenomena."
"Then you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. Isn't that a bad deal?"
"It's a good deal! It's a good deal!"
These hundreds of thousands of dollars can be exchanged for at least several million dollars from the Japanese. How can it not be a good deal?
