The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Hahaha, Shanzi, you're quite the kid. You've really grown your mind after a trip to the big city!"

Zhang Ye didn't expect that Lu Shan has mastered the "diplomatic skills"

Especially for Sakura people, he really likes this set of services.

"Hey, don't refuse the money of those dwarfs. Taking their money is a small matter. I will definitely find an opportunity to deal with them in the future!"

Lu Shan grinned, and he didn't have a good impression of those little guys, each of whom was only 1.4 meters tall.

Those beasts have been holding back their anger in Fengbei, but due to Zhang Laoqi's dominance, they have no chance to show their strength.

Now that he has come to Donglu, he must have no intention of doing anything good. It would be against the will of heaven if we don't cheat such a treacherous person!

"Okay, let's do as you say. Go and bring the person in!"

Zhang Ye thought this matter was quite interesting. Now that he was here, he might as well listen to what nonsense these "bastards" had to say. If they offered him benefits right away, why not take them?

But no matter how much fun he has, Zhang Ye also has a bottom line. If you give me money, that's fine, but if you want to get something from me, I'm sorry, there's no way. If you don't agree, let's fight and see who has a tougher hand!

Ten minutes later, led by Lu Shan, two Sakura people came. They looked to be around 40 years old, wearing a neat suit, less than 1.7 meters tall, and a little bald.

The face with the mustache showed a wretched look, and the old face full of wrinkles was full of smiles.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, the leader saw Zhang Ye and took two steps forward without being introduced by anyone. He bowed 90 degrees on the spot, showing his servile behavior.

"Hello, Marshal Zhang. I am Takuma Ito, the president of Ito Trading Company in Sakura Country. It's a pleasure to meet you in person."

"Haha, you're happy too early."

Zhang Ye raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips. He didn't even have the interest to stand up and shake hands. He still sat upright on the armchair, looking at them excitedly and asked.

"Tell me what you want to see me about. I've been really busy lately. If it's not something important, we can talk about it later."

"Marshal Zhang, please wait!"

Upon hearing this, Ito Takuma hurriedly continued speaking in Daxia dialect, which was not very fluent.

"We came here this time to discuss some business cooperation with the Marshal."

Then, the old man took a check for three million dollars from the secretary behind him and handed it to Zhang Ye with great respect.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. Congratulations, Marshal, on conquering the three provinces. In the near future, we will surely unify the country!"

This old guy felt that he knew the people of Daxia very well. No matter whether it was General Zhang from Fengbei or General Zhang from Donglu, he felt there was no difference.

The warlords of Daxia like to hear flattery the most. As long as they can be pleased with words, the cooperation will proceed very smoothly.

"Three million? That's a lot of money!"

Zhang Ye held the check and said "generous", but his eyes secretly glanced at Lu Shan next to him.

The two had been together for such a long time that Lu Shan knew Zhang Ye's temper very well. After receiving the signal, he immediately reminded him.

"President Ito, if you have anything to say, please hurry up and tell me. The Marshal has a meeting soon, so I'll give you five minutes at most!"

"what?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Ito Takuma's eyes. He secretly turned around to glance at Lu Shan and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Damn it, that’s not what you said when I gave you the check for $500,000 just now!

"Well, Marshal, we came here this time to establish a trade chamber in Donglu Province, with the intention of promoting economic development between the two countries."

"From now on, we can negotiate to purchase any goods produced in the three provinces of Donglu, Huishan, and Wuyue. At the same time, we will also transport some local goods and specialties from Sakura Country, so that we can exchange what we have and what we don't have. This will not only increase our income, but also add some diversity to the lives of the people of both countries."

Ito Takuma talked a lot, looking like a serious businessman, but if you listen carefully, it was actually just one sentence.

I want sea passage!

How can I put it? If the lower-level supervision is in place, there will indeed not be any major trouble. At most, there will be some minor smuggling cases.

But if the lower-level supervision is inadequate, then the problem will be huge. These bastards are ostensibly transporting goods on merchant ships, but in reality, they are carrying guns and ammunition.

It won't be long before they can form a team in your territory.

Just like the Kwantung Army in Fengbei, they infiltrated little by little until they achieved their goal of taking over the enemy's position.

"In other words, Ito Trading Company is willing to purchase all the goods we produce?"

Zhang Ye doesn't care about anything else. He only cares about these bastards and whether their words are effective or not.

"That's right, Marshal, but I do have a small requirement, which is that such items must have commercial value."

Ito Takuma pushed his glasses on his nose and said with a chuckle.

"If it's just a pile of straw or something, there's no need to go back and forth."

This old guy seems to be saying something that makes sense, but in fact he has dug a big hole.

What does it mean to have commercial value?

Who determines the commercial value?

You say this thing is a treasure, but I just don’t acknowledge it. What can you do?

You people in Daxia like to eat white flour and rice, and think they are particularly good, but the people in Sakura like to eat baba, and think that there is nothing in the world that tastes better than baba. They just like the taste. If they don’t want your rice, what can you do?

Therefore, if you want to control them in this matter, you must formulate relevant clauses in the contract. As long as there is no clear standard, there will be loopholes!

"Of course. Our Wuyue textiles are quite good. If we can really establish cooperation, this will be the key trading category."

Zhang Ye rubbed his chin and said with a smile.

Ito Takuma, who was a little worried the previous second, was immediately delighted after hearing this and made the promise excitedly.

"Don't worry, Marshal. We Sakura people are also very fond of silk and satin. The noble ladies love the various fabrics produced in Daxia the most. If we can bring back the good things from Wuyue Province, we will surely win the favor of people all over the country!"

"It's good that you like it, but this is our first time establishing a cooperative relationship, and it involves three provinces and so many factories supplying goods. I think there should be some kind of deposit."

Zhang Ye rubbed his fingers, and the meaning of his words was very clear. If you want to do business with me, you have to pay a deposit.

"Yes, yes, we completely understand your concerns, Marshal. Just tell us how much you need, and we'll raise it right away!"

Ito Takuma was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He felt that this little Zhang was easier to deal with than the old Zhang from Fengbei. They had just met for the first time and they had already pushed the cooperation to such a level.

From this, it can be seen that this guy is just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. He only cares about small profits and has no idea how much amazing wealth is hidden in the three provinces of East Lu.
