The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

In a Japanese tavern, Ye Minghao sat face to face with Colonel Saburo Kobayashi of the Japanese Military Police stationed in Shanghai.

Ye Minghao spoke first:

"Colonel, it's an honor for Ichiro Watanabe to meet you!"

Today, Ye Minghao came to apply for special passes for his subordinates.

Now, his warehouse has stored $20 worth of goods, which is the purchase price, and it is worth at least $80 to ship it to the area ruled by the deep blue government.

This is his first business deal, so there can be no problems.

These are all goods restricted by the Japanese devils, such as yarn, cloth, soap and other items.

"Watanabe-kun, how are your relationships in the United States?"

"Not bad. Colonel, if you have any needs, please tell me directly. Ichiro Watanabe will do his best to help."

"Well, the headquarters sent people to the United States to purchase penicillin, but the manufacturer explicitly refused to sell it to our Japanese Empire. Isn't that infuriating?

If we were to buy on the black market, we wouldn't buy more than 100 at a time, so the higher price wouldn't matter."

"I've heard this rumor in the United States, but..."

"Watanabe-kun, you have Japanese blood flowing in your veins.

The Imperial Army of the Great East Japan Empire is in need of penicillin, which will be of great help to our war in China."

"Your Excellency, I can't get more than that. I have a relative of a classmate in the United States who sold 100 million penicillins to the Chinese Deep Blue Government Army last time.

If I could go to Fog City and get 5000 doses of penicillin from him, I should be able to get it."

Ye Minghao directly put forward his chips and said he would go to Wucheng to get penicillin.

The Japanese gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai must ensure that their goods can flow freely in the Japanese-occupied areas.

Colonel Saburo Kobayashi understood the difficulty of this matter and smuggled products from the Japanese Empire-occupied area to the Deep Blue Government's jurisdiction.

It's not a big deal. It's not an intelligence leak that involves the military secrets of the Great East Japan Empire.

Many people want to get rich in this war. This is a normal idea, and they also want to make money.

If Ichiro Watanabe is sensible, you might as well cooperate with him in the future. At least he is of Japanese descent.

"What's the price?"

"Your Excellency, Ichiro Watanabe likes the American way of doing business. We all make money together.

Thanks to my connections, I didn't make any money on this deal, and the transaction price was $15 per stick.

I'll take the original $10 and give the extra $5 to the military police."

"Watanabe-kun is so righteous, Kobayashi Saburo would like to thank him!"

"Your Excellency, I would like to discuss a long-term cooperation with the Military Police stationed in Hujiang."

Saburo Kobayashi thought it was normal when he heard Ichiro Watanabe had something else to say.

Penicillin is such a good thing, if he doesn't make money from it, he must have bigger plans.

People with ulterior motives are not annoying; what is annoying is the greedy people.

It depends on how the other party plays their cards.

"Don't be polite, Watanabe-kun. Just say what you want to say."

"Your Excellency, I want the Military Police to invest in my Good Luck Trading Company, with a 20% stake."

Saburo Kobayashi thought the number was a bit low, but he knew that this was a business and required negotiation.

"Watanabe-kun, isn't this ratio a bit..."

"Colonel, it was Ichiro Watanabe who didn't explain it clearly. On the surface, the profits are settled to the Military Police every month.

There is also a share for the core members of the Military Police, such as the Colonel, the General, and the Lieutenant Colonels and Majors who are involved in the business."

I was right. What does it matter if there is more or less on the surface? The most important thing is how much I can get.

"How much is this share?"

"How much do you think is appropriate, Colonel?"

Saburo Kobayashi was thinking that the commander of the Japanese gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai, Major General Ichiro Sato, would naturally take the lion's share.

Your Excellency the General will take 10%, I must take 6%, and it would be good enough if the others could take 4%!

Watanabe should be able to accept the 20% figure if he really can get 5000 doses of penicillin.

If he makes money in the future, he should have the opportunity to produce 10,000 or 20,000 units. It is impossible to prevent businessmen from making money.

Besides, the purchases were all made with his money. He was the illegitimate son of the Ito family, so it was also the Ito family.

The other party should be able to accept this number. If it is to be lowered, then the apparent profit should be lowered.

In short, we must not let the general and our own interests be harmed.

"20%, what do you think, Watanabe-kun?"

"Your Excellency the Colonel, I'll give you 30%, the General 15%, Your Excellency the Colonel 10%, and everyone else 5%.

However, the military police allowed our goods to pass through customs more quickly. Your Excellency, you must have heard that for business people, time is money."

Saburo Kobayashi didn't expect Watanabe Ichiro to be so generous. For a businessman, it really shouldn't waste time.

If Hujiang Haoyunlai Trading Company makes money, then it also makes money for itself.

Anyone who deliberately delays the transportation of goods and prevents others from making money should be beaten to death.

"Mr. Watanabe is a man of integrity, and we in the military police must be so. I will ask General Sato to issue special passes to your men.

In our Greater Japan occupied area, Good Luck Trading Company's goods flow freely."

"Thank you, Colonel. Then there will be no problem with Watanabe Ichiro!

Ichiro Watanabe offers a toast to His Excellency the Colonel, and wishes us all prosperity in the future."

"Okay, I wish us all to get rich together."

Ye Minghao/Ichiro Watanabe promised to produce 5000 doses of penicillin within two months.

He also specifically added that he would receive his first dividend when he returned to Hujiang in two months, with an estimated profit of US$20.

When Saburo Kobayashi heard this, he was in great spirits, as he would receive dividends in US dollars in two months.

This is Hujiang Haoyunlai’s first business, and it will only grow bigger in the future.

Then you will gain more and more.

Ichiro Watanabe, who grew up in the United States, is indeed very business-minded.

If you want to get rich, you naturally have to cooperate with smart people.

For Ye Minghao, as long as he breaks through one point, the rest will be easy, and he can tie up the Japanese gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai.

I can do many things in the future.

When I get back tonight, I'll send a telegram to Director Qin, asking him to contact Director Tian and find a buyer in advance.

By the way, prepare the goods that the Secret Service wants to smuggle to Hujiang, and use the proceeds to purchase products.

After all the ups and downs, it shouldn't be a problem to make $80 from this business.

Naturally, they don't know how much they earn. The $80 is the net profit after deducting the benefits from both sides.

When the two of them finished drinking, Ye Minghao specially handed it to Kobayashi Saburo.

"Your Excellency, we hit it off right away when we first met and were able to get things done.

This is Ichiro Watanabe's expression of gratitude to His Excellency the Colonel. Please do not reject His Excellency the Colonel's kindness."

Watanabe Ichiro/Ye Minghao's bold move increased Kobayashi Saburo's favorability towards him by several hundred percent.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the drinking party very much.

For Ye Minghao, he is the second son of the Ye family in Gusu City, and business is his natural talent.

The next day, Ye Minghao got the special pass he wanted. It can be said that this special pass allows him to travel freely in the areas occupied by the Japanese devils.

Teacher Chen saw Ye Minghao take back the special pass, which was personally issued by Sato Ichiro, commander of the Jiang Military Police in Shanghai.

That's much more awesome than the one issued by the gendarmerie.

He felt that Ye Minghao was like a fish in water when he arrived in Hujiang, and doing business was in the genes of the Ye family in Gusu City.

"Minghao, thank you for your hard work!"

“Teacher, this is my job. It’s not hard. If I earn more now, my comrades will have a better life.

I am still timid, so I am planning to smuggle goods worth $200,000 this time, and the goods can be shipped tomorrow.

I should have prepared $80 worth of goods, ugh!"

"Minghao, there's a long way to go, not just this one business trip. In my opinion, this business is already big enough.

What's more, the special pass you got was issued by the military police commander Ichiro Sato.

How amazing! "

“Teacher, after this deal, we are going to establish our own transportation team.

Report to the organization and find a reliable and trustworthy person to apply for the transport team."

“Okay, the superiors will definitely pay attention to this matter and will not allow such a reckless person to take this position.

If you smuggle stuff in, there will be trouble sooner or later. If you want to smuggle stuff in, you have to arrange it yourself.

Crossing this line is definitely not an option. If you are implicated, the consequences will outweigh the gains."

"Teacher, that's what I mean.

To take this route, it must be something important and urgent, otherwise it is better not to do it.

After all, there is the Secret Service in the Deep Blue government-controlled area, and the teacher should be familiar with the Secret Service's methods."

"Minghao, I'll make it clear. The current situation was hard-won, so we can't use it recklessly."

The teacher and student continued their discussion.
