When Shiki Kayama was angry, Mitsui stood there with his head bowed and didn't dare to come out.

It wasn't until Shikiki Kayama stopped that he explained apprehensively: "Lord Governor, Mitsui Trading's loyalty to the empire is beyond doubt, and the power of Han Huaiyi's new Rome and the American car tycoon Ford and the Morgan consortium will become a good arm of the empire, so the juniors have a reporting attitude to ask you to consider how to reply to them, not as their lobbyists." ”

"If you really thought so, you wouldn't be here."

Mitsui said embarrassedly: "Please also ask the governor to show me." ”

"Charlie Han is as cunning as rumored, this must not be his real purpose, you say they want to see me?"

"Yes, Lord Governor. Henry Ford thinks that if I can't call the shots, they want to meet with you. ”

"What is the real relationship between Henry Ford and Charlie Han?"

"It's not just business partners, they seem to be like-minded comrades, but their business plans and goals are not something I can see."

Shiki Kayama was silent for a while, then softened his attitude and said, "I am very good friends with your grandfather, and I was very disappointed in you, but now it seems that you are still a little self-aware. ”

Mitsui Cheng...

"Because I can't see through what they're thinking. Invite them over, and I'm going to see for myself this Charlie Han, who can make the British desperate. This is the only outlier among the Qing people! ”

"Hello."

The next day, a Japanese naval officer came to Han Huaiyi's temporary resting place and respectfully handed over a telegram from Mitsui Cheng.

Twenty White Russians, including Han Huaiyi, Ford and Curtis, as well as Semyon Ivan, immediately left for Taipei.

The meeting with Shikinori Kayama was held at the Governor-General's Office in Japanese-occupied Taiwan.

However, the construction of the future "Presidential Palace Building" had not yet been officially started in this year, so the seat of the Governor's Palace of Shiki Kayama was very simple.

It's just a three-story building at the end of the road, overgrown with weeds under the trees in the middle of the road, and there is no "fart curtain" behind the heads of the Japanese soldiers standing guard.

Han Huaiyi has no brains. The remnants of the Japanese side had any conflicts here over whether they could bring guards or not.

This false toughness is pointless.

He and Henry Ford waited in the reception room like ordinary businessmen, and the sun was much whiter than in Shanghai in early April.

As the military governor, Kayama Shikiki did not let them sit idle for a long time.

This short and stout old man with a height of one meter and six or five meters soon appeared here.

He was still very attentive to etiquette.

So there are chairs in this room, not tatami mats.

He strode into the room with a rather aggressive attitude, and Mitsui Cheng hurriedly introduced him: "Everyone, this is His Excellency Count Shiki, the Governor of Taiwan. ”

"Please be seated." After sitting down, Shiki Kayama looked at Han Huaiyi carefully.

Han Huaiyi looked at him calmly, and Huashan Shiji suddenly spoke: "Han Sang, what do you think of Jia Wu?" ”

This seems to be a humiliation, and Shiki Kayama does have the intention of testing him through this question, Mitsui Cheng Khan is about to come out, but Han Huaiyi replied very calmly: "This has nothing to do with business, Your Excellency the Earl." ”

"I'm Japanese, you're from the Qing Kingdom, I just want to know what you think."

Han Huaiyi immediately said: "If Your Excellency the Earl has to insist, in fact, I also want to know the feelings of Lu Yuanjun in the Battle of Baijiangkou and Toyotomi Hideyoshi who retreated from Korea. ”

"Four times, plus a total of four times on the first day, and it's currently tied, is that so?"

"No, Genghis Khan conquered Eurasia, but the expedition launched by his descendants was defeated by a hurricane. Two to one. ”

Han Huaiyi was a little impatient after speaking, it makes sense to discuss these, anyway, didn't you lose in the end?

So he went on to say: "Your Excellency the Earl, if you are only interested in the wars in history, then you are biased, you should remember to send Tang envoys and Master Jianzhen." ”

"Han Sang is as sharp as I think, and he is really a hero." Kayama Shiki also stopped there, and then expressed his greetings to Ford and Curtis, and he immediately got straight to the point: "It is impossible to sell the Penghu Islands to you, and I don't think you are such unwise people, so let's be honest with each other." I'm busy. ”

After speaking, he stared at Han Huaiyi without blinking.

The old man's momentum was sharp, and his engraved face seemed to say "You better be more sensible", and Ford was a little nervous, not to mention Curtis.

Han Huaiyi was still calm, first of all, he was sure that this old man would not and would not dare to kill him, and secondly, he was sure that the Japanese side very much wanted to do business with New Rome IMM and Ford.

In particular, he has Gavrila in his hand.

So Han Huaiyi was not nervous, he opened his mouth and said: "No one will renovate a rented house, this is not what a qualified businessman should do, and in view of... ”

"Just say what you want." Shiki Kayama directly interrupted Han Huaiyi's words.

Han Huaiyi said louder: "Your Excellency, I am a partner of Mitsui Trading Company and Taiwan's economy, not your subordinates, I have the right to explain our advantages, and then make a request, so that you can fully weigh it!" If I don't even have the right to speak, then I think our cooperation will be meaningless! ”

As soon as he roared, the Japanese troops outside immediately rushed in.

Han Huaiyi ignored it and continued: "The resources that Gavrila has in his hands will bring great convenience to the Japanese Navy, but they belong to me, so I must ask for the same benefits in exchange." ”

"For example?" Shiki Kayama stopped the Japanese soldiers who were about to move.

"The fifty-year lease of the entire Penghu Islands, plus the ownership of two small islands." Han Huaiyi didn't ink with him anymore, he took out the logo on the map, and then said: "One of these two places will be used as a tourist destination for the employees of the group company, and the other will be used as a supply place for coal and fuel oil, from where the fleet can go straight to San Francisco after repairing." ”

At this time, Henry Ford suddenly said: "Your Excellency, if you agree to these requests, we can also discuss the establishment of an automobile supporting factory in the Penghu Islands." ”

Han Huaiyi was silent.

Shiki Kayama was suddenly a little confused.

He was keenly aware that they seemed to be somewhat "inconsistent", and he immediately asked, "Can Mr. Henry elaborate on this?" ”

Ford said: "Actually, Charlie is talking about it, because the rubber transported by the New Rome shipping is for my company, so why don't I talk to you." ”

After he took over the negotiation power very openly, Shiki Kayama couldn't help but be stunned: "So in fact, you need the ownership of the island?" ”

"Yes."

If it weren't for the new Rome controlled by the Qing people, if you wanted those two projectile lands...
