Chapter 228 Shanghai's famous "2 Hades"
Then, Sarabin glanced at Sato Ichiro and the other three, took a slick breath, and then said:
"As for the management rights of the International Settlement, don't go too far. After all, this is our colony in China. You can't just take it away if you want. We can make a bigger concession. We can give you three more directors of the International Settlement Public Affairs Bureau, but no more than five. Otherwise, forget it!"
Jiang Yifan quickly translated Sarabin's words to Sato Ichiro and the other three.
The four people's faces were still as gloomy as water, without a trace of sunshine.
Sarabin spoke again:
"The Public Affairs Bureau can add another deputy general manager and let you Japanese take the position, but our condition is that it must be this Shimabashi Shinichi. First, he can speak English, which makes communication easy. Second, his ability is obvious to all. He can be said to be a household name in Shanghai. Everyone hates and fears him. This is a kind of ability. We also like capable Japanese."
Jiang Yifan heard this and thought to himself, don't praise me anymore, I will feel embarrassed if you continue to praise me.
At the same time, you will also be envied by others, which will cause trouble!
But Jiang Yifan still translated it truthfully to Sato Ichiro and the other three.
After hearing this, Sato Ichiro's expression turned from gloomy to cloudy, while the other three still had gloomy expressions on their faces.
Sarabin saw that I had revealed all my cards, so why aren't you guys showing any shame?
Then, he continued, "The deputy chief of the police station will still be Shinichi Shimahashi. In addition, you can add five more detectives. As for the number of patrol officers, you can have more, but the maximum number can only be 100!"
Hearing this, Ryosuke Hihara and Keiko Tanaka finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Sarabin seemed to have discovered the true nature of the Japanese, and said:
"Gentlemen, our conditions have all been laid out on the table. I will not participate in the negotiation of details. If you have different opinions, please contact the United States through your Ministry of Foreign Affairs! I am sorry to leave you alone. Goodbye!"
Before Jiang Yifan finished translating, Sarabin arrogantly got into the car and left.
In fact, he is not arrogant at all. He is just using a negotiation technique to make a preconceived decision and not give you any chance to bargain.
When Sato Ichiro and his four companions came, their biggest wish was to make the British pay compensation and then discuss the issue of the public concession.
Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and hit them with three axes, catching them off guard and leaving them completely unprepared.
What a surprise!
Especially Tokita Chaoyang, he felt a little dizzy and didn't know where to go.
Ichiro Sato was worried that three banks and grain warehouses had been robbed, two squadrons of reinforcements had been wiped out, and the British had not paid a penny in compensation. He would not be able to explain to his superiors, so he did not express his opinion.
We have to find a scapegoat!
As for Tokita Chaoyang, the gap between the goal and the goal was too big to accept, so he looked at Sato Ichiro, Tanaka Keiko, and Hihara Ryosuke, and said:
"Consul Richard, General Manager Evan, and Head of the House Adams, you have caught us off guard again. I didn't expect that you had already arranged the negotiation conditions in advance. This matter is of great importance. We need to report to our superiors and then give you a reply. Goodbye!"
After Jiang Yifan finished translating, the four of them walked out of the International Settlement and left with their troops in a car.
Jiang Yifan was also relieved. He came to the gate, waved to everyone, and ordered loudly: "Today's demonstration is over. Everyone go back and rest!"
Upon hearing this, the parade immediately dispersed and fled in all directions as if they were fleeing for their lives.
"Shimahashi-kun! What's going on?" Kuikei Rikuto asked Jiang Yifan.
Jiang Yifan explained the general situation.
This made Kuichi Rikuto and the members of the action team extremely happy.
Just like gambling, they bet on the right spot this time. Being the vice-president of the International Settlement and the vice-chief of the police station, he was half a local tyrant in Shanghai. In addition, Jiang Yifan was a well-known "Second King of Hell" in Shanghai and the captain of the Special High Section. These were all well-known golden signs in Shanghai!
"Captain! Here is your money, the family badge, and the ancestral jade pendant. Please keep them!" Kudo said as he held the family badge and the ancestral jade pendant in his hands.
After Jiang Yifan took it, he said with deep emotion:
"With your help today, I, Shimahashi Shinichi, was able to escape a disaster. You all saved my life, Shimahashi Shinichi. I will never forget it. I won't say anything else. Let's go! Brothers, let's eat. It's my treat! Eat whatever you want today. I will make sure you have enough."
"Oh! It's a feast! It's a feast!"
Kudo and his companions, who had survived the disaster, found a big restaurant, ordered a table full of food, and started eating and drinking.
After the meal, Jiang Yifan gave each person another ten yuan, twenty yuan to the inspector and thirty yuan to the team leader.
Jiang Yifan secretly gave one hundred dollars to Jiuchi Jingliren.
A relationship where someone can share life and death with you at the critical moment must be reinforced with money.
If you want to gain a foothold in the Japanese base, you must have your own network of connections.
This made everyone shout for joy and thank Jiang Yifan again and again!
Afterwards, everyone went back home. Jiang Yifan passed by Lao Liu Delicatessen and turned in.
"You bastard bunny! What the hell is wrong with you today? If I hadn't been there, you would have been dead. Do you know that?"
As soon as Xiao Yunlong saw Jiang Yifan, he gritted his teeth and cursed.
Jiang Yifan lowered his voice and recounted what had happened.
Xiao Yunlong was speechless. He cursed the Japanese thousands of times and also complained a few words about the Shancheng headquarters in his heart.
But sometimes, in order to complete the task, it is common to act out a trick to make it look real and conceal the truth.
He felt even more deeply that what Jiang Yifan faced every moment was a real test of life and death.
"Boy! I'm sorry for that! But you must live well. Otherwise, I will not let you go in the underworld in the future."
Xiao Yunlong looked at Jiang Yifan and gave him sincere instructions.
"Don't worry! I won't die as long as you are by my side." Jiang Yifan replied.
Then, he reported on the negotiations between the Japanese, the British and the Americans, and went home carrying the roast chicken.
Xiao Yunlong reported the situation to the Shancheng headquarters that night.
After reading the telegram from the Lighter Group, Boss Dai also let out a long sigh:
"If this kid hadn't acted so well, no one would have been able to save him today! They have performed such a great deed, and the lighter narrowly escaped death, so they must be rewarded generously! Give each of the three people a reward of 2,000 yuan. In addition, Lao Dao (Xiao Yunlong) and Xu Wu (Yuan Cheng) must be alert and never let the detection car detect their signals. During this period, don't send telegrams if you can, and send as few as possible."
