Code Name: Flame

Chapter 72
Chen Jia realized that if Takahiko Yamabori was following him, even if Guo Shuyi showed any doubts, Nelson Transportation would never have peace in the future.Everyone eats the job of being an agent, and their thinking and behavior habits are actually very similar. As long as there is any doubt, they will continue to investigate endlessly.

Things are a bit tricky, and I can't think of a countermeasure for a while.You can't make phone calls, for fear of being tapped.Now you have to think about every step, otherwise you will make more mistakes, and the more you do, the more flaws you will have.

Guo Shuyi finished his lunch, sat in the living room and read the newspaper for a while, and was about to pack up and go to work when the phone in the living room rang.

"Hi, I'm Guo Shuyi, who is it?"

A slightly hoarse middle-aged voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am Yokono Yamada from Fujiwara Trading Company. Is Manager Guo free now? Our president wants to visit your residence."

Guo Shuyi was a little puzzled, what did the president of Fujiwara Trading Company ask him for?Is it about business cooperation?

"May I ask what's the matter, Mr. President?"

"Oh, that's right. Our business community has increased the scale of product delivery to China. Nelson Transportation should have spare capacity, right? Our president means to talk about future cooperation intentions."

Guo Shuyi hesitated for a moment. In fact, the transport capacity of Nelson Transportation Company had already been fully booked. Because of the withdrawal of Diners & Co., the vacancy left by them happened to be filled by Nelson Transportation Company, so there was no problem of remaining capacity.

After thinking about it, how can the business of delivering business to your door be pushed out?There is no righteousness in business, so we need to get acquainted first, and after the company delivers new ships, it will be cost-effective for those ships with a capacity of more than 3000 tons to go to Japan.

"That's great. I've heard that Fujiwara Trading Co., Ltd. has been very successful during this period. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to come to ask for advice. I'm waiting at home today for Mr. President to visit my humble house."

Seeing that the agreement had been made, Yamada hung up the phone after a few polite words.He was a little strange when he received a call from Fujiwara Yasushi just now, asking him to contact Guo Shuyi about visiting him.

The goods of the Fujiwara Trading Company have always been transported by Japanese shipping companies, but now they are going to visit an American-funded company. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?Even if you have doubts, don’t dare to ask them, just execute them.

Takahiko Yamabori was sitting at the food stall opposite the alley, eating sweetly, when he suddenly saw two Cadillacs driving over.I didn't pay much attention at first, but when I saw the car turning into the alley, I immediately dropped the bowl, dropped a few cents on the table, and ran to the monitoring point.

"Did you see the license plate? Immediately contact the Works Bureau of the Concession to check the owner of the car." While ordering, he took a telescope to look, "No need to go."

Because among the few people who appeared in the telescope, he knew the two leading ones, one was Fujiwara Yasushi and the other was Yamada Yokono.

Guo Shuyi greeted him at the door, exchanged some pleasantries, and then invited Fujiwara Yasushi and Yamada Yokono in.Judging from the way they talked, it should be the first time they met.

But why did Yasushi Fujiwara suddenly come to Guo Shuyi?Regardless of whether they are all businessmen, they are clearly distinguished from each other in this age.Japanese capital is in the same circle as Japanese capital, and American capital is in the same circle, and there is little overlap between them.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he went back to the food stall and ordered another wonton, thinking about it while eating, the more he thought about it, the more curious he became.

It was the first time Guo Shuyi met Fujiwara Yasushi, the actual helm of Fujiwara Trading Company. He was very young, and he spoke politely and was very friendly.

During the conversation, Guo Shuyi always had an indescribable strange feeling, especially Yasushi Fujiwara's eyes, which always felt so familiar.

"I would also like to thank Manager Guo for his hospitality last night. Thanks to you, we also got a lot of order intentions during the party. There is a Chinese idiom called reciprocating. I hope to cooperate with Manager Guo more in the future."

Yasushi Fujiwara speaks neither fast nor slow, and his accent is a little stiff, but for a Japanese, Yasushi Fujiwara can speak official Chinese very well.

"Thank you, President Fujiwara, for your favor. Our Nelson Transportation Company has just opened, and many old customers have already booked our transport capacity for half a year, so we may not be able to accept orders from Fujiwara Trading Company for the time being. But in a few months, we will soon There are four new ships, and I will reserve them for you when the time comes."

"Hi, thank you, Manager Guo. We will take on a lot of business from the Japanese army in the future. I hope Manager Guo will reserve more for us. Thank you very much."

After Chen Jia put on airs and finished speaking, he handed over some gifts, said some innocuous words, and left.

Yamabori Takahiko saw the scene of their farewell with binoculars, it was very harmonious, and they must have talked well.When Yasushi Fujiwara got into the car and the car drove out slowly, Takahiko Yamabori deliberately ran a little distance ahead, pretending to be walking on the road.

The car stopped beside him, and the window was rolled down, revealing Fujiwara Yasushi's surprised face, "Yamabori-kun? What a coincidence. Are you going to do something?"

Takahiko Yamabori also looked surprised, "Hey, it's Fujiwara-kun. I just finished my work and I'm going to make a tram."

Yasushi Fujiwara got out of the car, took Takahiko Yamabori's hand and said with a smile: "That's right, get in the car, let's find a place to drink, according to the Chinese, it's called "Resurrection Wine."

Yamabori Takahiko pretended to refuse but was dragged into the car by Fujiwara Yasushi.

"I don't know if Honda-kun is busy, Yamada, wait for you to give Honda...forget it, you guys go back and leave the car."

Seeing this, Yamada Yokono didn't talk nonsense, and went to the car behind with the driver, while Chen Jia drove all the way to Waibaidu Bridge himself.

"I'll take you to a place. It's a little early now. Let's find a place to have some coffee. In the evening, I'll take you there for a drink."

"Hey, Fujiwara-kun always treats you badly."

"Hahahahaha, I'm not hitting you. One meal from me is enough for your monthly salary. That's fine, we're all friends, so don't be too polite."

Yasushi Fujiwara's words were a bit irritating, but Takahiko Yamabori didn't care, after all, he was telling the truth.

There are many pedestrians on the road, and the speed is not fast. It took a full 10 minutes to drive to the door of a hotel.

After getting out of the car, Takahiko Yamabori saw clearly that it was the famous Peace Hotel.

There is an exquisite cafe next to the Peace Hotel, and Chen Jia led Yamabori Takahiko to sit down in the cafe, "Sit down for a while, I'll call Mr. Honda to see if he's free today."

Takahiko Yamabori watched Chen Jiaxing leave in a hurry, and thought about it in his heart, how should he ask so that Fujiwara Yasushi would not be disgusted?

After a while, Chen Jia came back with a smile on his face, "Coincidentally, Mr. Honda is free, so I'll be here in a while."

After sitting down, they each ordered a cup of coffee and casually chatted a few anecdotes about the Peace Hotel.

"Fujiwara-kun, are you familiar with that Nielsen Company?"

"I'm not familiar with it. Speaking of Nielsen, I just met with Manager Guo of their company today and talked about some business matters."

Takahiko Yamabori pretended to be surprised and asked, "We met again today?"

"Well, our trading company's business has developed too fast recently, and the speed of ships from Japanese companies alone is too slow, so I plan to hand over part of the business to them."

"Hey hey, Fujiwara-kun didn't tell the truth, there are so many ships in Nippon Yusen, there are not enough ships for Fujiwara-kun?"

Although Takahiko Yamabori is not in the business field, he still has some understanding of Shanghai and Japanese business.In the past few years, due to the anti-Japanese movement, the sentiment of boycotting Japanese products in China has been high. In addition, the US dollar has depreciated sharply, and American products have brought great pressure on Japanese products. Therefore, Japanese products do not perform well in the market.

Fujiwara Trading Company is a wonderful flower among Japanese trading companies. Not only has its business not shrunk, but it has grown substantially.However, if you grow again, the shipping capacity of Nippon Yusen Kaisha is there, so how could it be insufficient.

Chen Jia pointed at him with a finger and said with a smile, "As expected of an intelligence officer, I can't hide anything from you. To be honest, the forces behind Nelson are very large. I want to get in touch with the forces behind them through the Nelson Transportation Company."

Takahiko Yamabori asked in surprise, "Nani? Nelson is very powerful?"

Chen Jia moved her body slightly closer, "There is the Morgan family, the largest chaebol in the United States, the U.S. Navy military, and people from the Senate are said to be involved. Don't look at the surface, but a Chinese is taking care of it, but the water behind it is deep. I think After establishing a relationship with them, let’s try to see if we can do some business in the United States, the Chinese market is still too small.”

Takahiko Yamabori was very surprised. He didn't expect such a big background behind Nielsen, which is not a big company.
He firmly believed in Chen Jia's words. Fujiwara's parents were close ministers of the emperor, so of course they would know information that was beyond his reach.
