Chapter Sixty: Face-to-Face Talk

  Liang Sanping got off the train, and his feet stood firmly on the ground. During this time, he had gotten used to the swaying of the train, and whenever it was approaching a station, he would try to get off and move around a bit.

  "Lao Ge, be careful. There's a step..." Carrying his luggage, Liang Sanping carefully helped Ge Tai down from the vehicle, fortunately Liang Sanping was still young and strong.

  Otherwise, there's really no way to get through so many days and still be able to carry luggage to support Getai.

  "Alas... getting old is just getting old, can't compare to when I was young..." Ge Tai sighed and said: "In the past, during a forced march, I could run over a hundred miles in one night. Now, after sitting on a train for a few days, my body feels like it's falling apart..."

  Liang Sanping supported Ge Tai and smiled: "I almost couldn't hold on either, you're not very old, but your body is quite good..."

  Ge Tai waved his hand, he knew Liang Sanping was just comforting himself.

  "Let's go to the reception office first and meet up with Mayor Mu. Then we'll see what to do next..." Liang Sanping listened, nodded, supported Ge Tai, and walked towards the outside of the train station.

  Yamasaki is now in a difficult situation. The three Chinese officials in front of him seem to be unyielding and only make simple and rigid demands for them to provide all the information.

  At the same time, I carefully asked myself about my views on this project and its prospects.

  No matter what Yamazaki said, the rest of them were that unchanged poker face for a thousand years. This made Yamazaki extremely angry, if such an official was sent out.

  It seems that the Chinese side has indeed begun to attach importance to this matter, and the officials they sent are all of high integrity. Moreover, the questions they asked were also extremely sharp and difficult to answer.

  Even several times, their own engineers were stunned by their questions. Fortunately, they didn't dwell on these topics and moved the question to the next one.

  "Damn it! It seems that there are indeed other companies making a move, otherwise the Chinese side wouldn't have sent these people...". Sakaki cursed in his heart, and now he even suspected that there might be a mole within the company.

  His own itinerary was leaked out, and other corporate groups noticed the profit of vegetables and Yamazaki's itinerary. It is inferred that Yamazaki will put his treasure on vegetables.

  "Matsumoto, you must find out as soon as possible who is competing with us!" Yamazaki said through gritted teeth after sending off the three Chinese officials with a smile.

  "This thing must be someone sabotaging from behind. Our competitor is who we have to find out! Otherwise, we will become extremely passive..."

  "Director, we have now used all the relationships that can be used. But this matter still has no clue..." Matsuda bowed his head and sighed to Yamazaki: "Otsu Director is working hard to investigate this matter, hoping he can find the root of this matter..."

  Just as Yamazaki and Matsuda were talking, Otsu was having dinner with Yip Kim-wan at a high-end restaurant in Tokyo. On the table was a bottle of Maotai that was hard to come by on the market.

  Otsu Yuriko smiled and looked at the Casio steel watch on Ye Jianwen's wrist, skillfully handing over the gift box in her hand to Ye Jianwen.

  "Oh dear, every time I have to trouble Mr. Otsu, I'm really sorry......" Ye Jianwen smiled and quickly pulled the gift box to his side, placing it on the chair beside him.

  "Where...where, they are just some inexpensive small gifts. Mr. Ye is not disdainful of them, it's a great honor for Dajin Yuan. How dare I mention the word 'extravagant'..."

  Otsu Yuriko stood up, raised her glass and said to Ye Jianwen: "Come on! For our friendship, let's drink this cup!"

  "Haha... Mr. Otsu is indeed a straightforward person! Come on, let's down this cup!" Ye Jianwen stood up with a smile and clinked his glass against Otsu's before draining it in one gulp.

  "Mr. Ye, our company's project has not been going well lately......" Enduring the turmoil in his stomach, Omiya Jun took a sip of soup and said to Ye Jianwen: "I don't know..."

  "Alas... it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter has been noticed by the old men. My powers are also limited, Mr. Otsu, please understand that I'm not..."

  Now, down to business, Ye Jianwen's smiling face disappeared. He looked at Otsu Yunosuke with utmost sincerity and said: "Mr. Otsu, we attach great importance to our friendship between us. But sometimes, you also need to understand my difficulties, don't you?!"

  "Yes, we are very sympathetic to Mr. Ye's difficulties. So we didn't ask you to provide us with any assistance before this matter is clarified." But then Otsu Osamu turned to Ye Jianwen and said: "We just want to know what our competitor companies have... This isn't too much to ask, is it?!"

  Otsu-san's words are clear, we can accept that you can't help us now. But so many things have been thrown at you, can't you tell us what happened?!

  Otsu's words made Ye Jianwen hesitate for a moment. But then he put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass towards Otsu and said: "This matter, I can actually help with. But I have to make it clear, I'll do my best but no promises that there will be any news..."

  "Mr. Otsu, you should know that the old men upstairs are all keeping an eye on this matter now. I'll naturally do my best to help a friend if I can be of assistance. But if it's really impossible, then I'm also helpless..."

  Otsu Yū heard the words and smiled bitterly in his heart. This "Yā Nèi" is really not a thrifty lamp! Every aspect of what he does is flawless, without leaving any room for conversation.

  I just guarantee that I will try my best, it's very simple! If it doesn't threaten him personally, he would naturally be willing to help. If this matter may threaten his own interests.

  That's all I can do.

  "I can understand Mr. Ye's difficulties, but I also ask Mr. Ye to understand our difficulties..." Just then, Otsu Toshi raised his wine cup and said with great respect: "Please take care of this matter..."

  Liang Sanping and Ge Tai took a car ride all the way to the Yu Bei Guest House in the Imperial Capital. This was Liang Sanping's first time, and he couldn't help but exclaim that the Imperial Capital was too big, so big that it was easy to get lost in it.

  Even if the imperial capital did not expand to the extent of later generations, it was indeed a very large city. Many roads were well-connected, and after taking several buses without being picked up by cars, they finally arrived at the Yuebei Reception Center.

  "Are you here?! First put everything down, then go to Lao Lan's room for a report." The one receiving them was Mu Shan. Seeing his old subordinate, Mu Shan was very happy.

  Smiling, they let someone help them open all the rooms and put down their luggage. Only then did they take them to Lan Cheng's room. There, the secretary had already brewed tea.

  Liang Sanping and Ge Tai sat down, only to see Delan Cheng smiling and saying: "You must be tired?! I know you're about to report now, this is a bit inconsiderate."

  "But there's no way! The top is urging us to hurry. We need to know from Comrade Sanping what exactly happened." Lan Cheng said to Liang Sanping and Ge Tai, "The more we know about this matter, the more beneficial it will be for us!"

  Liang Sanping nodded, took a sip of tea and put down the cup, facing Lan Cheng and Mu Shan: "Actually, I did this thing without telling Director Ge..."

  "I am in contact with the boss of 'Nelson Trade' company, that is, the American who signed a vegetable agreement with us. Because my English is not bad, and I was also responsible for negotiating with Karl Agricultural Machinery at that time. So we are quite familiar..."

  "So after learning about the actions of Wan Hong Corporation, I think introducing more companies and joining the bidding mechanism will be more beneficial for us!" However, Liang Sanping said to the two old men, "Only by introducing other companies to compete with Wan Hong can we obtain greater benefits from them."

  "Especially in foreign exchange and industrial machinery imports, we only introduced competition to force those companies to concede..."

  "Now Batu is still there, although we are in the honeymoon period with the US. But definitely no Japanese company dares to take the lead and sell those embargoed mechanical products to us..."

  "And if through a transit point in the United States, or an intermediary. Then I think we will have a greater chance of getting those mechanical opportunities..."
