Sometimes it is hard for people not to be believed by others.
Zhang Xiaobao encountered such a situation at this moment. Apart from Wang Juan, who was chatting with a few women next to him, with an expression of trust, none of Takeshita Junichiro, including the people from the three engineering departments, was willing to admit from the heart that Zhang Xiaobao really wanted to help Japan.
"Takeshita-kun, what I said is all true. Really, you should believe me. Before you come, let me understand that other people are unwilling to accept you. They have been selected many times. Today's wine is yours, right?"
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Junichiro Takeshita sincerely, took another glass full of wine, and motioned for a toast.
Before the arrival of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, Takeshita Junichiro had drunk a lot of alcohol with the three workers. Although the wine didn't feel too aggressive and sweet when drinking it, the stamina was there.
After drinking two cups in a row, the wine that I drank before has begun to have an effect, especially when he was trying to guess the authenticity of Zhang Xiaobao’s words, Junichiro Takeshita felt like he wanted to sleep, his eyes were half-squinted, and he held the cup in one hand. Squeeze his thigh with one hand underneath.
I gritted my teeth and poured the wine into my throat, turned it up again, pressed it forcibly, did not spit it out, my suffocated eyes were red, and my hands trembled slightly. I picked up a chopstick head and mixed cucumbers, stuffed it in my mouth, and pressed it. Just grow out of breath.
He raised his head to look at Zhang Xiaobao, who looked over with concern, and said, "It's okay, I think they have problems."
Junichiro Takeshita did not dare to say that he had offended the people of the Ministry of Engineering. To show that he thought so, he also smiled at the three people of the Ministry of Engineering. How can the three people of the Ministry of Engineering care freely about Junichiro Takeshita? They put their minds on Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaobao. For the first time on Wang Juan today, I found out why Wang Juan is so beautiful. It needs to have a figure, a face, a temperament, and it doesn't look like a murderous person.
As for Zhang Xiaobao, he seemed to have deliberately dressed up today, attracting the girls around him to glance at him from time to time, but no one dared to speak up close.
The three people in the Ministry of Engineering are headed by all of them, they are the same officials as Li Bai, sixth grade. He took the other two people and sat there honestly with him, Zhang Xiaobao took the cup, and they followed to drink. They were not so scared. Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong, even though he is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, could hardly find someone to switch to another department. They were afraid of Xiaobei, and worried that they would offend Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaobao's generosity. Xiaobei knew it would be unreasonable.
Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said, "Indeed, the matter is a bit bigger, and ordinary people would not dare to agree to it, but... Since I have met, in line with the friendly relationship between the Japanese vassal country and my Datang, how can I help, Takeshita How many steamboats and gunboats do you want to rent?"
"Uh... Mr. Zhang, I just thought it abruptly. I haven't determined it yet. I'll go back and discuss with someone to get a specific figure. Maybe I won't rent it in the end."
Junichiro Takeshita really didn't dare to agree. It was not Zhang Xiaobao for another person. He agreed early. Of course, the more boats he could rent, the better. Facing Zhang Xiaobao, he thought of Yamamoto, Shanji, and Fengqiao.
All three of them were ambitious when they came to Datang, but they met Zhang Xiaobao, one by one, and one by one fell into the sand, especially Fengqiao Zhenger. The plan was done. I and others thought about it at first, but they couldn’t figure out how to solve it. What is the structure? It's all paid in.
It was sulfur and silver worth a million sticks. Today, the price of garlic is still stable. The garlic sprouts are selling well. There is also sweet garlic. Silla joins in the fun, and I don't know how much it will lose in the end.
"Alright, it’s right to go back and find more people to think about it. Don’t blindly rent steam engine ships and gunboats, especially gunboats. Even if you rent them then, they won’t let others go up. It’s just a form of hire to help fight. , It needs to spend a lot of money, the distance of the sailing, the level of suffering of the supply, and the wear and tear of the artillery and the shells when the gun is fired."
Zhang Xiaobao agreed, turning his head and instructing the three members of the Ministry of Engineering, "Don’t always think about the confidentiality of the Ministry of Engineering in the future. When it is time to keep it confidential, you must make money when it is time to make money. Go out and seek new development. If someone asks you again, you can get the Ministry of Engineering to research and study.
Who is renting? There is no difference between renting to the Silla and renting to Japan, but as long as it is rented, it can only be rented to one party, so as to avoid the loss of our ship, especially the gunboat, when there is friction on the sea. Money, we cannibalize each other? "
The three of them all should be.
Zhang Xiaobao stopped persuading others to drink, and drank the wine by himself, stood up and smiled politely at Junichiro Takeshita, and said to Wang Juan, "Cuckoo, let's go back."
"Oh, sister Hanzui, we will talk later when you have time. Don't use the new perfume of Shuiyun Group casually. Everyone's skin is different. Choose the right one. The high price may not be good for you."
Wang Juan agreed, and reluctantly explained to Hanzui about the choice of new perfumes, and asked Hanzui to ask about the jasmine fragrance on her body. Then, under the star-studded eyes of several girls, Zhang Xiaobao picked up Zhang Xiaobao and walked out. .
When he walked out for ten steps, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly turned around and said to the people from the three engineering departments: "Just remembering something, the engineering department can develop a few small electrical appliances suitable for marine use. It happens to use a steam engine ship to generate electricity. It is to set up a separate department to discuss leasing matters with my Datang merchants, so that they can go farther and bring back more valuable goods."
"Young Master Zhang, don't worry, I'll write it down later." All the workers from the Ministry of Engineering nodded vigorously when they got up to see them off.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked out, they all said to Takeshita Junichiro: "It's getting late. The three of us should go back. We will talk about it when we have a chance next time."
After speaking, the three of them also left.
Junichiro Takeshita sat there, confused and distressed. He was suddenly sent to the door with something he couldn't ask for, but he didn't dare to accept it. What does Zhang Xiaobao mean
Wang Juan, who was going out, was also puzzled. He got on the carriage, made tea for Zhang Xiaobao, and asked: "Xiaobao, you can speak directly. If you know you, no one will agree with you. I'm afraid, how did you plan? ?"
"Let me kiss and I'll tell you." Zhang Xiaobao leaned over with a smile.
"A mouthful of wine, no." Wang Juan hid aside.
"Then don't talk about it."
"Count the moon by yourself at night."
"Then I'll talk to you in detail tonight."
"Let's talk a little bit first."
"Well, this time I didn't expect the Japanese to rent at all. I can raise the price after they suffer a loss. It is not easy for the Shilla people. Let them make a fortune." Zhang Xiaobao showed a compassionate expression again.
