Chapter 172 Target, Oil
"Thank you for the compliment, Colonel Saito. Please take a seat." Chen Yang bowed slightly and invited Saito Ryuichi to sit down.
Saito Ryuichi bowed slightly and sat aside.
"Pa pa." Chen Yang clapped his hands lightly, and several beautiful figures walked in carrying drinks and food.
Chen Yang smiled and said, “Saito-kun, these foods are all the freshest ingredients and will take more than an hour to prepare.”
"So, after you relax, it's the best time to eat, please."
Saito Ryuichi was slightly stunned. No wonder he was allowed to enjoy the services first after he came in. It turned out that there was another deeper meaning.
He didn't hesitate and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food and took a bite.
Hiss, the food enters the mouth, the delicious feeling instantly bursts out in the mouth, and the taste buds are instantly conquered by all kinds of delicious flavors.
These seafood and dishes are all made by famous chefs. Not only are their knife skills and processing techniques impeccable, but the ingredients themselves are also very precious.
It tasted so delicious as soon as you took a bite, it was totally beyond the level that a chef from an ordinary restaurant could make.
"Good, good." Saito Ryu said several good words in a row, put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Chen spent so much effort to entertain me, I am really a little flattered."
"Now the whole Shanghai market knows that you are a rising star in the officialdom and in charge of the empire's transportation lines."
"I am really curious, given your status, why do you have to do so many things?"
Chen Yang took a sip of sake and smiled: "The reason is very simple, because I want to cooperate with Saito-kun."
Saito Ryuichi said calmly: "Cooperation, I heard Dong Yejun mention your plan, it's not a big problem."
"But I don't believe you would put so much thought into just a transportation route."
"You know, with your current status and position, it doesn't seem like it would cost so much just to build a transportation line."
"Moreover, I know that you have been secretly manipulating various material transactions in the Shanghai black market."
"So, I think your goal should not be as simple as a route."
Chen Yang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Saito-kun sees things very clearly."
"Indeed, it's just one line. This little profit is not enough to bind our interests together."
Saito Ryuichi took a sip of sake and said in a deep voice, "You don't want the supplies in my hand, do you?"
"Our navy is not as generous as the army, and we don't have so much supplies."
Saito Ryuichi seemed to have thought of something when he said this. His expression suddenly froze.
"Wait, Chen-san, do you want that?"
"Hahaha, it seems that Saito-kun has already thought of something we can cooperate on." Chen Yang raised his glass slightly towards Saito Ryuichi.
Saito Ryuichi said in a deep voice: "There is only one thing I can think of."
"However, this matter is of great importance, Chen-san, are you sure?"
Chen Yang laughed loudly and said, "Supplies, arms, everything I sell now is of great importance."
"Any one of them that is exposed would be a crime punishable by death."
"There is a Chinese saying that goes 'too many lice won't itch, too many debts won't worry you'."
"Do you think there is anything I dare not touch today?"
Saito Ryu fell silent for a moment, and even his drinking hands began to tremble inexplicably.
Because he is now 100% sure what Chen Yang wants.
That is, oil...
The supplies in the navy logistics are not at the same level as those in the army department.
There are not as many supplies as the Army Department.
However, the demand for oil alone is ten or even a hundred times that of the army.
Oil is the lifeblood of the navy and an important resource that major countries are scrambling to grab.
The essence of all wars comes from the struggle for energy.
When Saito Ryu heard that Chen Yang's target was the Navy Ministry's oil, he lost his composure for a moment.
The originally delicious food now tastes like chewing wax...
But he didn't leave...
The room fell into silence. Neither of them spoke, but just drank their drinks in silence.
"Mr. Chen." After a long silence, Saito Ryuichi still didn't dare to agree, but smiled bitterly and said, "Your idea is really too bold."
"Oil is a material that the military pays special attention to. I..."
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Saito-kun, listen to me first."
“Actually, this business is not mine alone.”
“Do you know Burma?”
Saito Ryuichi was a little confused by Chen Yang's topic.
"I once helped a British trading company owner save an American geologist a long time ago."
"During the gatherings during this period, I heard that the boss's oil fields failed to achieve the expected returns and are now on the verge of bankruptcy."
"So, I decided to join forces with some British nobles to buy that place."
"But if you want to supply a large-scale refinery, it's obviously not enough to rely on just that small oil field."
"If your share is included."
“I think we can make it into a big cake.”
"Of course, I will be very careful to ensure that there won't be any mistakes. After all, I don't want to make any mistakes."
"Let's take a step back and say that even if someone really noticed something, with our strength, we can solve the problem quickly."
"Saito-kun, you should know that war, no matter if it lasts ten, twenty, or thirty years, will always end one day."
"I also don't want to see you devote your entire life to the Empire, only to return to Kanagawa with a bunch of useless medals in the end."
“Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.”
Saito Ryu was stunned for a moment, but did not refute and just kept drinking.
"Pa pa." Seeing this, Chen Yang smiled slightly and clapped his hands gently.
The door was pushed open again. This time, a girl wearing a kimono and without any makeup on her face appeared. She was not particularly pretty and looked to be only about eighteen or nineteen years old.
She walked in with a tray, walked in front of Saito and smiled at him, but this action made Saito Ryuichi stunned.
At this time, Saito Ryuichi's eyes were completely mesmerized by the girl's appearance, and he didn't care about the things on the tray at all.
"Saito-kun, here are three gifts I prepared for you."
"Citibank account."
"The contract for the Kyoto villa,"
"And Ms. Kyoko from Kanagawa Prefecture."
"Kyoko, you are also called Kyoko," Saito Ryuichi looked at the young face in front of him and seemed a little unconvinced.
The girl nodded shyly.
"Okay, Miss Kyoko will accompany you for the rest of the time."
Chen Yang stood up and said, "Remember, don't forget to take the villa's contract and your bank account with you when you leave."
"I have to go back first."
After saying that, he bowed to Saito Ryuichi and left without waiting for him to stay.
"Boss," Sakurako Kawada saw Chen Yang coming out and immediately went to greet him.
Chen Yang said softly: "What's wrong? Miss Yingzi?"
Kawada Sakurako looked behind the gate and hesitated, "Miss Miyoko is not pretty, and her skills in that area are very immature. How can you let her serve Colonel Saito?"
“If she screws up, I’m worried about the impact on your reputation.”
