"I am a businessman, so I am naturally interested in business..." Chen Yang raised his glass and said, "I wonder how big a business Mr. Komuro wants to do."

Komuro Toshio took a sip of wine, made a gun gesture with his fingers, and said with a silly smile: "This batch of goods is worth two hundred thousand dollars..."

"What..." Chen Yang was shocked. Two hundred thousand worth of arms, could this guy have embezzled the arsenal?

It is said that people in Osaka value money more than their lives when doing business. As long as the price is high, they will even sell the emperor.

A batch of arms worth two hundred thousand, Chen Yang was not sure whether the other party was talking drunkenly or telling the truth.

"Mr. Komuro, let's drink first today. As for business, come to my office in a couple of days to discuss..." Chen Yang didn't dare to agree so readily.

We've drunk so much, who knows if what he's saying now is nonsense...

Seeing this, Komuro Toshio was not offended at all. He patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will stay in Shanghai for a while."

"I'll come to your business in two days to find you..."

February 8, 1938, the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month..

晴,

Suitable for marriage, groundbreaking, opening of business...

At eight o'clock in the morning, loud firecrackers sounded and there was a constant stream of traffic in front of Chen's Commercial Bank.

The sound of firecrackers has not yet ended, and two lion dance teams appear to the sound of gongs and drums...

Then came the endless stream of flower baskets, delivered to the door of the business...

"Biel Company wishes Chen's Company a great opening..."

"Steve's Company wishes Chen's Company a prosperous opening..."

"Director Simpson of the French Concession Municipal Council wishes Chen Kee Commercial Company a great opening..."

"The French Concession Police Station wishes Chen's Company a great opening..."

Countless flower baskets were lined up on both sides of the main entrance. The signatures on them amazed the onlookers, who asked about the origins of this Chenji Trading Company.

The opening of a Chinese business could actually attract the Concession Police Station, the Municipal Council, and the largest Pierre Business to celebrate together.

Who is the owner of this business?

Just when everyone was discussing heatedly, a few men in suits and ties came over from a distance carrying a few flower baskets.

After seeing the label on the flower basket, everyone subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

"Nakazato Takeshi of the Anti-smuggling Squadron of the Military Police Command in Shanghai wishes Chenji Company a great opening..."

"Otani Genichirō of the Special High Section of the Military Police Command in Shanghai wishes Chen's Company a great opening..."

"..."

All the onlookers were shocked...

The owner of this trading company not only has good connections with the business community, but also with the military and political circles.

This scene is comparable to that of the French Concession boss, Boss Du...

The third floor of the business,

This floor is divided into two rooms, one is the reception room and the other is the meeting room.

In the reception room, Chen Yang was stunned when he saw Keigo Sakamoto, Daiki Higashino, and Toshio Komuro coming up.

Originally, all those present were friends invited by George.

What about Henry, the manager of Steve's company, Simpson, the director of the Concession Municipal Council, Yang Shuang, the director of the police station, and managers of some large and small companies, small bosses...

They came to congratulate Chen Yang on the opening of his business, all for George's sake, to build momentum for Chen's business...

After all, Pierre & Co. is the undisputed number one in the French Concession.

However, the arrival of Higashino Daiki and others made everyone look at Chen Yang with admiration.

No matter how powerful these people are, they are just businessmen, while Higashino Oki and others are Japanese military officers. The Shanghai market is now dominated by the Japanese.

As the leading company in the French Concession, the Bier Commercial Company is already quite impressive.

But those people in the anti-smuggling squad can detain people whenever they want.

Moreover, the person who sent the flower basket was actually the chief of the Special High Police, Genichirō Otani.

This person is so powerful that no one here dares to offend him.

Even he sent a flower basket to the opening of Chenji Commercial Bank. This boss Chen is really unpredictable...

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, congratulations..." I don't know if it was intentional, but Keigo Sakamoto came up and said loudly: "Section Chief Otani knows that your company is opening today, so he specially asked us to come here to congratulate you."

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for his great success and prosperity..."

Chen Yang understood in his heart that this guy actually knew how to behave.

He deliberately said it so loudly, obviously to build momentum for himself...

"Thank Section Chief Otani for me." Chen Yang echoed.

Komuro Toshio said, "Mr. Chen, I know your business is opening today, so I specially prepared a big gift."

"Do you have time to chat?"

Chen Yang nodded quickly and said, "Kumuro-kun, please come this way."

"George, please greet the distinguished guests for me."

Looking at the backs of the few people leaving, everyone present couldn't help but talk about it.

Henry said quietly beside George: "George, your sister has a wide network of connections, but she is too evil."

"Last time we helped rescue Mr. Mike, he actually stole six thousand pounds from us..."

George shrugged and said, "Henry, do you know what I hate most about you?"

"You just don't know your place..."

"Do you think that 6,000 pounds is so easy to get? Even if I give you 6,000 pounds, you may not be able to give it away."

"It's only out of kindness that Chen is helping. Otherwise, if you ask someone else for help, six thousand pounds might not even be enough."

Henry lost his temper immediately after being scolded by George, and could only laugh twice to cover up his embarrassment.

President's Office on the second floor..

Toshio Komuro and Chen Yang sat opposite each other.

"Komuro-kun, there were a lot of people in the dance hall that day, so it's hard to elaborate on some of the things that happened."

"I want to ask you, is the 200,000 munitions you mentioned true?"

"You know, such a large amount of arms is enough to equip an entire regiment. I'm a little worried that so much arms and equipment will attract the attention of the Special High Section..."

Komuro Toshio smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you can rest assured. We in Osaka have always been keen on doing business."

"What is the most important thing in doing business? Win-win..."

"You don't have to worry about where this batch of goods came from. No one will trace its source."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Ximuro-kun, you can see that I am no longer the middleman who worked alone."

"I have a large group of people to feed."

"It is undeniable that arms worth two hundred thousand dollars are indeed very attractive, but if I don't know where they come from, this batch of goods will be a hot potato that may cost me my life at any time."

"I have a big family now, so there is no need for me to take this risk..."

Seeing Chen Yang being so cautious, Toshio Komuro felt a lot more at ease.

Two hundred thousand dollars' worth of arms can undoubtedly make a lot of money, but not everyone can earn that much money.

The Shanghai Special High Section, the Anti-smuggling Squadron, with so many eyes watching, a person who is not careful in doing things is definitely not a good partner.

Komuro Toshio took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "I admire a partner like Chen Sang. I think we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

"Actually, you are right. This batch of arms is indeed the equipment of a regular regiment."

"To be precise, this batch of arms was sent to the Jinling Security Group..."
