Chapter 587 They Are Here
Xiao Chen 'faithfully' fulfilled his promise to Li Wanjiang, and now he is just a bare-bones governor who has let go of his military power, and the city is wide open, just waiting for Qin Gang to throw himself into his arms.
What Xiao Chen had to wait for was not only Qin Gang, but also an important person, that is Nako Kudo.
Before Xiao Chen set off for Myanmar, he contacted Dongying's envoys who stayed in Fengyang City and asked them to send a letter back, saying that he would wait for them to send someone to contact him in Changshan Prefecture.
And hinted to the messenger that I only trust Ms. Kudo Nako, if she hadn't come in person, our negotiation might have been quite difficult...
Of course, it can't be said that Xiao Chen is pretending to be a public servant, because the identity of Miss Naizi is there.
"Xiao Chen, how could you let a woman come for such an important matter with Dongying?" Chen Jisheng seemed to have guessed what Xiao Chen was thinking, and suddenly said this.
"Ah?" Xiao Chen just swallowed a piece of noodles, and sprayed it out from his nose, "Is Naiko here?"
When everyone saw the boss making an embarrassment, they didn't dare to laugh even if they wanted to, their faces flushed red...
"Look at you, don't you still look like a governor!" Chen Jisheng was angry and funny, "When you talk about women, you get excited. Have you taken a fancy to you again?"
I also guessed most of it right.
"Where is she?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.
"Boss, I put them under house arrest." Liu Mofeng said hastily.
"Oh, why are they still locked up... But you are right, they? How many came here?" Xiao Chen said.
"Four people, a woman who calls herself Kudo Nako, a middle-aged man named Miyamoto Gozo, a monkey-like man named Kinoshita Yoshiro, and a man in his fifties named Sato Yokoji." Liu Mofeng road.
"Oh? I don't know anyone except Naiko. Have they registered? What kind of work are they doing?" Xiao Chen thought it would be Nishimura Zhicun and the others.
"I only said that they were accompanying samurai and protecting Kudo Nako. I think they may have other identities, but they are from Dongying, so it's not easy to find out, and they can't use torture to extract confessions..." Liu Mofeng obviously got Xiao in advance. Chen's letter, otherwise what do you think?
"That's absolutely impossible. They are here to discuss cooperation with us... Old man, why are you holding back? Do you have any opinions to put forward!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Chen Jisheng just had a smile on his face when he first met Xiao Chen, but he has been so serious since then, I don't know why?
There are many reasons to talk about, first of all, this kid shouldn't risk his life and go to negotiate with the pirates himself! This is just a fluke to come back safely, you said what would happen if something happened!
I heard from Wu Hanming and the others that this kid went to Java alone to attend the Hongmen banquet held by Prince Ulman, and even provoked a very powerful opponent on Paradise Island. Go fight sea monsters yourself...
Just say you are mad!
Yes, you kid is lucky, you have survived these catastrophes without incident, but how much luck do you have in this life for you to suffer such disasters!
Tell you how many times you just don't listen!
"So you're still willing to listen to me?" Chen Jisheng said coldly.
"What's the matter with you, old man? I just came back and didn't provoke you, did I?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Boss, foster father is mad at you for repeatedly putting yourself in danger..." Liu Xiangqin whispered.
"Uh... I was wrong!" Xiao Chen was moved in his heart, but his attitude of admitting his mistake was very arrogant.
"You just know that mistakes are useless, and you have to correct them if you know your mistakes! Sooner or later you will grind out my heart... How are you going to talk to Dongying people?" In front of so many people, Chen Jisheng It's not easy to blame Xiao Chen too much, after all, he is the boss of the big guy.
"Now we are the ones who are forced to ask others, and we have to wait for them to ask for a price, so that we can pay back the money on the spot." Xiao Chen said.
"Boss is wrong. Of course we are asking him for this cooperation, but from another perspective, they are also asking me. Therefore, we must not be passive during the negotiation, otherwise they will make progress." Ye Baiqing said.
"I think they are more anxious than us. They sent people before we sent them. If we look at it this way, we may have more initiative." Liu Cong said.
"It depends on how we talk about it. Boss, are you representing Li Wanjiang, or our Yanyun County?" Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"No matter who you represent, you can't make concessions on issues of principle!" Chen Jisheng said, "But other aspects are negotiable."
"In my opinion, they will not make any unreasonable demands. They just want to do business with us, and they just want a discount and convenience." Shangguan Qiji said suddenly.
Seeing the big guys looking at him with strange eyes, he quickly waved his hands, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk too much, you say what you say."
"What's your opinion on Qiji, but it's okay to talk about it. We're having a meal and chatting, and it's not a formal meeting." Chen Jisheng said.
"Hey, I heard from Zuoshan Saji and the others that Dongying has suffered from natural disasters in recent years, and the grain harvest has been in short supply for many years. Although it has slowed down a bit in recent years, many people still have enough to eat, and their various supplies are extremely poor. Lack, especially coal, steel..." Shangguan Qiji really talked about it with eloquence.
Dongying has developed quite rapidly in recent years, but due to the extreme shortage of various materials in the country, it needs a large amount of imported supplies.
The big man had some business activities with them before, but since Li Wanjiang ascended the throne, the domestic situation has not been very stable. In order to prevent foreign enemies, he had to take retreat measures.
In this way, Japan will no longer be able to obtain any supplies from Dazhou.
The relationship between them and the Ross people is very tense, and there are constant conflicts. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about business cooperation.
In desperation, they can only import the necessary supplies from the far southern Xinjiang and the other side of the ocean, which is obviously not a long-term solution.
So they are eager to break this deadlock now, and it is a godsend opportunity to cooperate with Da Zhou to expel the Ross people from the port of Shunfeng!
On the surface, it seems that this is just a temporary campaign cooperation, but if the cooperation between the two parties is happy, it will definitely progress to the next step of strategic cooperation!
Forming a strategic alliance with the Great Zhou to jointly fight against the mighty Ross Empire is the real purpose of the Dongying people.
In order to achieve this goal, they will never care about small things.
"What Qiji said makes sense." Chen Jisheng nodded in agreement.
"Fatty, I think you might as well stop being a medical officer and become a diplomat, okay?" Xiao Chen said.
"Then it depends on the salary." Shangguan Qiji grinned happily.
"I will meet them at night." Xiao Chen said.
"Boss, why don't you let me talk to them first? No matter what they say, I'll deal with them, so you can have some leeway." Ye Baiqing said, "Anyway, they've already come, so why worry about them running away? Let's just stretch them for a while."
