Code Name: Flame

Chapter 68 Nephew
In fact, there is a kind of mood called caring makes chaos.

At that time, there were more than 50 ships that went out at about the same time as the Benimaru, from Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Russia, Japan and other countries. If it is said that they are capable of robbing the Benimaru, all of these countries have the ability.

Britain has the largest number of troops stationed in Shanghai, followed by Japan, the United States, and France. Russia and Italy also have hundreds of troops stationed.It can be said that all powerful countries in the world have garrisons.The Germans were mainly stationed in Qingdao. After being beaten away by the Japanese, there were no German troops in China anymore.These troops are all capable of robbing the Benimaru. Who dares to say that the Americans must have done it?
The news about Chaoyang was just one of many news, and it was the only one among more than 50 ships that came back on the same day.

Takahiko Yamabori didn't suspect Chaoyang, if they really did it, how could they come back in such a hurry?Is it normal to go out for a few days to avoid the limelight?

In the end, the sinking of the Benimaru became a headless case. Japan also knew that it was difficult for the Japanese Marine Corps to investigate the matter, but it was finally left alone.

Nelson Transportation had a grand opening ceremony aboard the USS San Francisco.The lineup of guests attending the meeting can be described as luxurious, SH Mayor Wu Tiecheng, consuls of consulates of various countries in Shanghai, chief officers of the Shanghai garrison of various countries, and celebrities in Shanghai, including Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin.

Most people thought that the company was the business of the Quinn family, Guo Shuyi was in charge of it, and the man named Li Guohua was just Quinn's white gloves.

Fujiwara Trading Company also received the invitation, and the president Yasushi Fujiwara naturally had to attend the event.

For this ceremony, the San Francisco specially decorated it urgently.The first-rate band, the first-rate chef, the first-rate singer, the first-rate courtesan, the first-rate firework show in Shanghai were invited. The total cost was as high as more than [-] US dollars, and there were two American gunboats for full protection. It can be called the luxurious opening ceremony of the century.

Chen Jia, Fujiwara Yasushi, Li Guohua...the identities are messy enough.Chen Jia and Yamada Yokono, who appeared on the scene in their original colors, shuttled through the crowd, and they were mainly familiar with their partners.

However, Japanese businessmen are very unpopular at this time, so in addition to saying hello to related households, they still hang out with Japanese businessmen more.As the actual executor of Fujiwara Trading Company, Yokono Yamada is very familiar with other Japanese commercial staff, so the conversation was very pleasant.

Chen Jia didn't want to show her face in front of people, so she sat quietly in the corner, listening to the beautiful singing of Shanghai's most beautiful singer Lulu, and watching the celebrities dancing on the dance floor, she always felt out of place.

The song is so soft, it's boring to listen to.Let's dance... He had only seen ballroom dancing on TV in his previous life.

"Mister is alone?"

A female voice like a yellow oriole sounded, and Chen Jia turned her head in amazement, but it was a woman in her twenties, with a beautiful appearance and fair skin.A sapphire blue long dress with fragrant shoulders half exposed, and a ruby ​​necklace pendant is particularly eye-catching.

Holding the wine glass, the woman looked at Chen Jia with a smile, her watery eyes were extremely agile, as if she could speak.

Chen Jia stood up and bowed slightly, "There is another companion."

The woman pointed to the seat next to her, "Do you mind?"

Chen Jia went over and opened the chair and said with a smile, "It's an honor."

After the woman sat down, she raised her glass and said, "Mister is Japanese?"

Chen Jia was a little surprised when she asked her about it. I do have a little accent in my Chinese, but why can't I get in touch with the Japanese?

"What do you call Miss?" Chen Jia didn't answer her, but wanted to find out about her first.

"Zhang Lina."

"Fujiwara Yasushi, nice to meet you."

Zhang Lina's eyes fluttered, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Mr. Fujiwara Yasushi, the president of Fujiwara Trading Company, has been admiring his name for a long time."

Seeing that Chen Jia had some surprises, he explained: "My family, Hongxing Textile, has business dealings with Fujiwara Trading Company."

Chen Jia remembered that Hongxing Textile was one of the first batch of merchants to cooperate with Fujiwara Trading Co., Ltd. under the introduction of Song Ziwen. The scale is considered large among Shanghai Chinese-funded enterprises.

"Mr. Zhang is..."

"Father. I am the third eldest in the family, and everyone in the family calls me Zhang San."

Chen Jia couldn't help laughing, because he suddenly remembered Zhang San who was played badly in his previous life, and immediately felt a little rude, and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I think the name is a bit strange, I'm rude."

"It's nothing, I'm used to it being called that by my family. By the way, Mr. Fujiwara, I heard that a batch of goods is coming soon, can you give us more?"

"You're talking about white cloth? Of course you can. This time the purchase is relatively large, so it should be able to meet the needs of your factory." Chen Jia, this expensive factory, said it very strangely. At this time, there is only your surname, and there has never been a shop in your factory. of.

Zhang Lina smiled, raised her glass and said, "Then thank you Mr. Fujiwara."

After Chen Jia clinked glasses with her, she realized that there was actually only fruit juice in her glass.

There are so many celebrities like Shanghai Bund, they always haunt various banquet places, and deal with various celebrities and dignitaries.There are quite a few celebrities who came to the banquet today, including famous movie stars, wealthy daughters, famous socialites, and many dancing girls who look forward to their looks.

Under Chen Jia's instruction, Guo Shuyi turned the opening ceremony into the biggest networking event in Shanghai within a few days.Maybe it's because of Quinn's face, or because of the presence of high-level officials in Britain, France and the United States, so these people flock to it.

The conversation with Zhang Lina was very short, after a few words of small talk, Yamada Yokono came over, "Master, General Okawa wants to meet with you."

Chen Jia got up quickly, apologized to Zhang Lina, and followed Yamada to find the seven generals in Okawachi who were among a group of people.

"Oh, so you are Fujiwara-kun. When I was in the Naval Academy, I was good friends with Fujiwara Yoichi. It's a pity that he left the army to pursue politics."

Chen Jiagong bowed respectfully and said, "That's my uncle. He told us that Your Excellency the General is his best friend in the military academy. Now that my uncle is serving in Osaka, he has nothing to do with the army."

Okawa Uchichichi laughed, patted Chen Jia on the shoulder and said, "Fujiwara-kun, you should call me uncle."

"Ha Yi, uncle."

"Hahahaha, that's great. I'm very happy today. Fujiwara-kun will accompany me to drink a few more drinks. If I don't get drunk today, I won't return home."

The people next to him also toasted to celebrate that General Okawa had found his best friend's nephew.

Among the crowd toasting to celebrate, an inconspicuous lieutenant smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes kept sweeping around Fujiwara Yasushi, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

In another corner of the hall, Quinn and Guo Shuyi were whispering.

"He spent so much money on the opening ceremony, but he didn't show up. God, is there nowhere to spend the money?"

Guo Shuyi couldn't explain Quinn's complaints. Mr. Li was always secretive. Who knew what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"After your steamship company opened, he should have nothing to do, right? My uncle sent a telegram, urging us to go to the United States as soon as possible. When you see him, you must make an agreement with him. Air tickets are tight now, so make arrangements early."

"Got it, I'll go find him when I get back."

The two were talking, and two beautiful women came hand in hand. When Quinn saw it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up to greet her, "Oh my God, Miss Lulu is so beautiful today. Your singing voice is simply fairy music, I've fallen into it."

Lulu is the number one singer of Paramount, and one of the most popular socialites in Shanghai. The people who pursue her are not only Quinn, but even the high-level princes of the national government have announced their pursuit of her in a high-profile way, but they can't get her.It is this kind of wanting but not getting it that makes those young masters even crazier.

Quinn kissed the back of Lulu's hand, but looked at the beautiful woman beside her, "This lady is..."

Lulu withdrew her hand calmly, and introduced the beautiful woman next to her, "This is my good friend, Gu Minghua. Her brother is General Gu, one of the five tiger generals in the government."

Quinn's eyes froze, and the frivolity in his eyes disappeared immediately.He is not a fool, he knows who can be messed with and who can't be messed with, the sister of the Chinese general, let alone Quinn, even the US Consul General Clarence Goss can't do it.

"Miss Gu, I am amazed by your beauty, I'm glad you came to the ceremony."

Quinn kissed the back of Gu Minghua's hand, and then pushed Guo Shuyi out, "This is the host of the ceremony. He is the general manager of Nelson Transportation Company, Mr. Guo Shuyi."
