In the name of celebrating his birthday, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Okamoto, invited celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai to attend a banquet at the Navy Club. Commodus and Sassoon were both invited to attend.
George was originally not eligible to participate.
??????????????????? But Okamoto Jisheng specifically called his name, hoping that George could attend.
So Zhong Yi, as George, followed Commodus and Sassoon to the Navy Club.
Banquets are held in the form of buffets. There are many such buffets in diplomatic situations, because people attending the banquet can gather and communicate at will, and they can also arrive late or leave early.
Zhong Yi and the other three had just entered the hall when Okamoto Ji Zheng put down his wine glasses and came forward to greet them.
This birthday celebration is actually just an excuse, because today is not Okamoto Jimasa¡¯s birthday at all, and no one will delve into this anyway.
Okamoto Jisheng¡¯s real intention is to have an in-depth communication with Sassoon or George.
Because in the recent period, the Sassoon Guards have made a lot of noise in Shanghai. Although so far, it has only been limited to the concession and has not yet affected the areas controlled by the Japanese army. However, Okamoto Ji is a very believer in an old Chinese saying, Everything can be done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined, so he wanted to take precautions and draw a red line with the Sassoon Guards in advance.
"Otherwise, it would be bad if the Sassoon Guards cross the border and trigger a conflict between the Japanese government and Western powers.
As the Consul General of the Japanese government in Shanghai, as a diplomat, if something happens under his administration, it will undoubtedly be a humiliating failure and will definitely affect his future.
"Minister Commodus, Sir Sassoon, and Captain George."
Meeting the three of them, Okamoto opened his hands and tilted his head slightly.
"Consul General Okamoto." Commodus and the other three responded with gentlemanly courtesy.
"It's such an honor for you to come to my birthday party." Okamoto Jimasa said again.
Kang Maode presented the small gift he had prepared in advance and said with a smile: "It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect."
Okamoto Jizheng took the gift and handed it to his secretary. He said with his hands solemnly, "How about we talk over there?"
Commodus spread his hands obediently, Sassoon had the same expression, but Zhong Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I just have something to say to the Minister."
Okamoto Ji was turning around to lead the way, but he felt a little puzzled.
¡°This Sassoon Guard seems to have some unknown inside story?
Arriving at the corner of the hall, Okamoto Ji was calling the waiter to serve red wine to Commodus and the others.
Then Ji Zheng Okamoto said straight to the point: "Sir Sassoon and Captain George, it's like this. The people from the Huang Mansion found me and hope that I can come forward to save the situation."
This is the power of the old devil Okamoto Jimasa.
??????????????? If it is clear from the beginning that the spheres of influence are divided between chariots, horses and Sassoon guards, it will easily lead to a stalemate in the situation, and it will often be difficult to maximize benefits.
So Okamoto Jizheng chose Huang Jingrong¡¯s incident as the starting point.
(Some readers reminded the swordsman that it is best for Huang Jingrong to use a pseudonym, as he cannot be offended, so he will use Huang Jingrong from now on)
Sassoon didn't say anything, but Zhong Yi suddenly said: "It seems that the people in Huang Mansion are very energetic, and they can even persuade Consul General Okamoto to come forward and intercede on their behalf."
Okamoto Jizheng smiled and said: "Captain George, can you please let Huang Jingrong go for my sake?"
"Okay, no problem." Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Actually, we never said we would not release Huang Jingrong. As long as Huang Gongguan compensates all the losses of our Sassoon Guards, we will release him immediately."
Okamoto nodded and said, "Captain George, can I ask how much the Huang Mansion needs to compensate your guards before you are willing to let him go?"
"Not much." Zhong Yi said lightly, "Fifty million, maybe."
"Nani, 50 million?" Okamoto Jizheng's face froze when he heard this.
Zhong Yi smiled slightly and added: "US dollars are not legal tender."
"Nani, pay back the US dollars?" Okamoto Ji Zheng's face became more and more embarrassed.
Frowning, Okamoto Jisheng said: "Captain George, you don't seem to have the attitude to solve the problem."
Fifty million U.S. dollars is indeed a big deal for some lions. Although Huang Jingrong is a famous tycoon in Shanghai with a rich family fortune, five hundred U.S. dollars is still a lot to pay.
Even if all the assets of Zhongxintang were taken into account, we would still not be able to collect US$50 million.
Zhong Yi asked rhetorically:"So Consul General Okamoto thinks how should this matter be handled?"
Okamoto Ji Masadao: "As for the conflict between your Sassoon Guards and Huang Gongguan, also known as Zhongxinshe, I probably learned about it from No. 76. The cause was that a member of your Guards won at the Gongxing Club. Too much money."
"Mr. Consul." Zhong Yi interrupted, "What do you mean by winning too much money? Since Gongxing Club dares to open its doors for business, it must be prepared to lose money. You can't just win money and not lose money, right? Then Isn¡¯t this considered robbery?¡±
"Of course, this is certainly the fault of the Gongxing Club." Okamoto waved his hand and continued, "After that, the people of the Gongxing Club used violence, and it is even more inappropriate to ambush your guardsmen halfway."
After a pause, Okamoto Jimasei added: "However, as far as I know, there were no casualties among your guards. On the contrary, nearly a thousand people from the Zhongxin Society, also known as the Huang Mansion, were killed by you "
"Mr. Consul, that's not what you said." Zhong Yi interrupted again, "There were no casualties in our guards. We killed nearly a thousand people from the Zhongxin Society, that is, Huang Gongguan. That's because they were incompetent. However, Zhongxinshe¡¯s incompetence cannot cover up their mistakes, and they should be punished if they make mistakes.¡±
"I deeply agree with this." Okamoto nodded and said, "But even compensation must be within a certain limit. We cannot ask for excessive prices. That is not a positive attitude."
Zhong Yi sneered: "So what does the Consul General mean?"
Okamoto Jimasa said: "How about half a million silver dollars?"
"Half a million silver dollars? Haha, is this the bottom line of the Huang Mansion?" Zhong Yi sneered twice and said, "Mr. Consul General, if this is the case, please be sure to tell the Huang Mansion and let them prepare to collect Huang Jingrong's body."
"Okay." Okamoto Jisheng shrugged regretfully and said, "Anyway, I have already brought it to you. As for whether it succeeds or not, that is a matter between you. As an outsider, I cannot interfere."
"Thank you, Mr. Consul General, for understanding." Zhong Yi nodded to express his gratitude.
"However, there is one more thing that I have to ask about." Okamoto Jizheng changed the subject and added, "As far as I know, your Sassoon Guards are not recruiting ordinary people, but a group of Chinese special forces.
