Chapter 274: All Take Care of
Lin Ze picked up the phone and called the Yamaguchi family.
"What's the matter?"
A very childish and cute voice came.
"Hello? Is this the Yamaguchi family? I'm Lin Ze!"
"Ha, I'm Natsuko Yamaguchi, who are you looking for?"
Ah!
Yoshi yoshi yoshi!
"Could you please ask Mr. Yamaguchi to come over and answer the phone?"
"Hayi!"
After a while, Yamaguchi Jianyi answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Lin! I'm so sorry, my little daughter was on the phone just now. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Ze was more motivated to help Yamaguchi Jianyi. "Mr. Yamaguchi, I have an appointment with Miyamoto from Miyamoto Trading Company to have lunch together. Do you have time? If it's convenient, let's go together. We can also talk about business."
"Yes, yes! I have time! So, where is it?"
"I'll pick you up at Crescent Alley in half an hour, okay?"
"Hayi!"
Lin Ze was a little confused. Is Yamaguchi Jianyi so humble? How can I feel embarrassed?
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze waited for Miyamoto to change his clothes, then took him into Niu Saner's car and went to Yueya Hutong together.
Lin Ze gave up the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.
When he saw Yamaguchi Jianyi coming out of the alley, he got out of the car to greet him.
Unexpectedly, Yamaguchi Jianyi jogged all the way, "Mr. Lin, you have worked so hard!"
Miyamoto gave Lin Ze face and got out of the car to bow and greet him. Yamaguchi Jianyi bowed so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
The three of them got in the car, "Niu Saner, let's go to Director Gao's villa."
When we arrived at the place, the housekeeper naturally found a secluded room for us.
Miyamoto liked this place very much when he saw it. "Mr. Lin, this is a great place you found! It's quiet and elegant. Look at this antique shelf. There are a few pieces of ancient jade!"
Lin Ze knew at a glance that it was brought from Panjiayuan.
Since then, Panjiayuan's counterfeiting has formed an industrial chain. There are people who can make jade articles, calligraphy and paintings look real.
Not only that, these counterfeit dealers are quite up-to-date with the times. They hang out with the chemistry teachers in the school all day long, developing small potions day and night, truly achieving one spoonful for the Qing Dynasty, two spoonfuls for the Tang Dynasty, and three spoonfuls back to Qin Shi Huang.
If a money-grubber like Lao Gao were asked to buy real goods as decorations in the private room, he would definitely not be willing to do so. He could just arrange for someone to set up a few stalls in Panjiayuan, and then all the decorations for the private room would be available.
"If you like it, I'll get you two pounds later."
Miyamoto didn't know the ins and outs of this and nodded blankly.
Yamaguchi Kenki was indeed in awe!
That ancient jade looks like it should be priceless!
Lin Sang actually used the unit "jin"!
Because Miyamoto was used to drinking sorghum wine, he asked the butler to serve three pots of sorghum wine.
Lin Ze also said, "Mr. Yamaguchi, this wine is strong, let's drink it slowly."
"Yoshi, yoshi, I know this, kaoliang liquor. When they were in Manchuria, they all liked to drink this, it's very strong! Speaking of which, Miyamoto-kun likes to drink this kind of strong liquor. He is really a rare generous person among business people!"
Miyamoto smiled indifferently. He had a big business now, so naturally he didn't take small businessmen like Yamaguchi Kenki seriously. He came here purely to give face to Lin Ze.
The dishes were served quickly and the three of them began to toast each other.
After a few drinks, Lin Ze couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Yamaguchi, I haven't asked you before, who else is there in the family besides Miss Mahui and the eldest sister I met that day?"
Yamaguchi Jianyi's face flushed, he put down his glass and said, "Mr. Lin, to be honest, not long after we arrived in Manchuria, my wife unfortunately passed away due to illness, leaving me with four children, three girls and one boy. My son is still working as a clerk at the Manchurian Railway and did not come to Peking with us. The others are our eldest daughter Ayaka, our third daughter Mohui, and our youngest daughter Natsuko."
Hurrah!
It’s good to be a clerk in Mantetsu!
"Mr. Yamaguchi, to be honest, I invited you here this time because, first, I want you to meet with Mr. Miyamoto, and second, to discuss a business. We have a very advanced coal-saving furnace manufacturing plan. Now Mr. Miyamoto plans to open a factory in Tianjin. Are you interested in participating, Mr. Yamaguchi?"
When Yamaguchi Jianyi heard this, his eyes lit up!
Without caring about drinking, they immediately started discussing the details.
In the end, Lin Ze's suggestion was recognized by everyone.
Lin Ze gave up 20% of his shares, Miyamoto gave up 10% of his shares, and Yamaguchi Miki would purchase the 30% shares in proportion to the fixed asset investment price involved in the factory construction.
Considering that Yamaguchi Miki had experienced many business failures in the past and his family background was not very rich, Lin Ze agreed to pay his share of the equity in installments. Yamaguchi Miki only needed to pay Miyamoto's 10% equity transfer payment first.
This factory could foreseeably make money, but for Miyamoto, these were just drizzle. He had already tasted the sweetness of supplying military supplies, so he did not take it too seriously.
But it was different for Yamaguchi Miki. This might very well be his chance to turn things around. How could he not be ecstatic when the deal was finalized so smoothly?
So they raised their glasses and toasted one after another.
While drinking, Miyamoto suddenly thought, "We need to send someone to the factory, right? My business is too busy, and Lin-san has work to do, otherwise..."
Yamaguchi Jianyi had been at home for a long time, and upon hearing this, he proposed on the spot: "If you two are confident, how about letting me take charge of the actual operation?"
Miyamoto thought about it and felt that this model of raw material processing and sales was very simple. Even if Yamaguchi Miki was a fool, nothing should go wrong.
Moreover, the raw materials were in his own hands, so he nodded in agreement.
Lin Ze asked: "Mr. Yamaguchi, the factory is in Tianjin. What will happen to your family when you go there?"
Yamaguchi Jianyi's cheeks were red and his eyes were hazy with drunkenness. He waved his hand and said, "What's the harm? Ayaka is old enough to take care of her two sisters. Besides, don't we still have you, Lin-san?"
"Yamaguchi-kun! Just your words are enough. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Matsue and my elder and younger sisters-in-law!"
After a round of drinking, Yamaguchi Jianyi was already drunk.
There was no other choice, so Lin Ze asked Miyamoto to call the trading company's driver to pick him up, and he followed Niu Saner to send Yamaguchi Jianyi home.
Arriving at Yueya Hutong, two people supported the unconscious Yamaguchi Jianyi, and Lin Ze shouted outside the door: "Mohui! Mohui! Open the door quickly!"
Matsue Yamaguchi was originally playing with her sister in the house. When she heard the sound and looked at the messy living room, her little brain immediately froze!
It’s over, it’s over. If Lin Sang sees this, he’ll think I’m a crazy girl!
