Chapter 687 Negotiation

He Zhiyingji came quickly.

Looking at the reporters who gathered outside the car with a roar, he couldn't help but frown deeply and cursed.

"This Geng Liangchen is really a master at using public opinion!"

"Section Chief, do you want me to drive them away?" Deputy Kameda Ichiro, who was guest driver, asked with a fierce look in his eyes.

"No," He Zhiyinger tidied up his clothes, "Everything today must be done according to Geng Liangchen's wishes. We want to make him very proud and happy, and think that we are nothing more than that."

"I understand, the art of war!" Kameda Ichiro suddenly said.

Kazuchi Takaji looked at his admiring partner, smiled, and got out of the car in the flash of spotlights.

"Hello, are you here to negotiate with Mr. Geng on behalf of the Zhepeng garrison? What is your name and position?"

"Hello everyone, my name is He Zhi Ying Er. I was entrusted by the Commander of the Garrison Nakamura to represent Zhe Peng North China Garrison. I came to discuss with Mr. Geng Liangchen the suspected violation of laws and disciplines by the porters. The purpose is to adhere to the principle of humanitarianism. , reach a consensus and properly handle this matter..."

Kazuchi Takaji spoke to the reporters without any stage fright.

He answered several questions from reporters, his words were neither condescending nor arrogant. He neither took the opportunity to belittle Su Yi nor showed a condescending attitude. He left a good impression on the reporters of being humble, polite and logical.

The most important thing is that when answering some sensitive and sharp questions, he was well versed in Tai Chi and avoided the important and ignored the light. Not only did he bypass the essence of the problem, but he shamelessly promoted the "humaneness" of the garrison's treatment of the arrested persons.

In the end, He Zhiyinger "exited" gracefully. Before entering, he glanced at the second floor of the villa, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.

Su Yi was standing behind the window on the second floor at the moment, but He Zhiyinger couldn't see him.

"This guy is pretty awesome." Liu Haiqing said with emotion, "He looks like a smiling tiger. This kind of person is the most sinister and sinister. What do you call him? Pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!"

"He can pretend to be a pig here, but he will never have the chance to eat a tiger." Su Yi smiled, "Let's go and meet our guests."

In this negotiation with the Zhepeng people, the reason why Su Yi took Liu Haiqing with him was not just to use the tiger skin as a banner, but because of the word "rules".

He met with Zhepeng's military personnel as a mere traveler. If no official person was present to endorse it, who knows what you were talking about behind the scenes?

In order to avoid future troubles, he directly invited official figures to be present. In the future, people from Zhe Peng would have to think carefully if they wanted to do something bad and throw dirty water on him.

In addition to Liu Haiqing, Su Yi also invited representatives from the French Concession, the British Concession and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, as well as representatives from the Tianjin Trade Union.

These people jointly witnessed the negotiation between Su Yi and Zhe Peng, which completely eliminated the possibility of Zhe Peng's regret or denial in the future.

Of course, this possibility is very small, and Su Yi is cautious, just in case.

Like most Zhepeng people, Hezhiyinger was very polite. He bowed slightly to Su Yi and greeted politely: "Geng Sang, I have admired your name for a long time. It is really rude to visit you rashly today! This is the first time! See you soon, please take care of me!"

Kameda Ichiro on the side also bowed and saluted.

Su Yi smiled and hugged his fists: "Mr. Hezhi, there is no need to be polite. Please come inside."

Entering the living room, Su Yi first introduced everyone present to him. He Zhiyinger was not surprised. He had already learned through other channels that Su Yi had invited these people.

After a brief greeting, everyone sat down. Su Yi did not beat around the bush and spoke straight to the point: "Mr. Hezhi, the fact that you are here today shows that you are here with sincerity to solve the problem. I hope that in the following conversation , you can turn this sincerity into practical actions.”

"I am very touched that Geng Sang can see my sincerity." He Zhiyinger looked flattered, "I thought Geng Sang would not understand our difficulties and would be full of rejection and resistance to us. It seems that It’s my villain’s heart.”

"Everyone has difficulties, but whether they can accept them is another matter." Su Yi smiled faintly, "Mr. Hezhi, Tianjin is an tolerant and open city, but being tolerant and open does not mean that everyone can do whatever they want here. Don't worry, the prosperity of Tianjin is based on good order, and good order requires us all to abide by and maintain laws and rules."

"Seventy innocent lives cannot be lost in vain! Don't tell me what kind of anti-Japanese elements they are. I know their identities better than anyone else. They are just ordinary civilians. You are just trying to force me, Geng Liangchen, to submit. They are just pathetic victims for threatening me with their lives!”

Kazuchi Takashi's expression changed. He didn't expect Su Yi to be so direct and ruthless.

His eyes quickly passed over the faces of everyone present, and then he said: "Geng Sang, the charges of the seventy anti-Japanese elements are conclusive and cannot be defended. We execute them in accordance with the laws related to the concession. It is legal and legal. I hope you can understand, This is the basis for our negotiations today. Without this basis, today’s negotiations will be meaningless.”

Su Yi said coldly: "Then I also tell you, for the seventy innocent victims, someone must pay the price of their death with blood! You Zhepeng people must make compensation and explanation for this matter, and promise not to do so in the future. Something similar will happen! This is also the basis for today’s negotiations!”

"Until this problem is resolved, the Foot Trade will never enter the Japanese Concession! All employees of the Tianjin Transport Association will never cooperate with any Zhepeng businessman!"

He Zhiyinger shook his head and sighed: "Geng Sang, this is not the attitude of negotiation."

"Mr. He Zhi, this is not the right way to show sincerity!" Su Yi said.

"Why don't we each take a step back." He Zhiyinger said, "I can apologize to Geng Sang privately and am willing to make a certain amount of financial compensation for the deceased. But Geng Sang must immediately restore the normal cargo transportation status of the Japanese Concession and lift the transportation blockade of the Japanese Concession. And guarantee that such a situation will not happen again in the future. If Geng Sang can do this, I guarantee that you will win the friendship of the Great Zhepeng Empire."

"Apology, compensation, and someone must be responsible for this matter, these three conditions, none of which can be missing!" Su Yi said, "And you must guarantee that in the future in the Japanese Concession, you will guarantee the most basic human rights of all employees of the Tianjin Transport Association, and ensure They will not be arrested innocently, and they cannot be shot without a public trial!"

"I will take another step back." He Zhiyingji sighed and said, "On behalf of the garrison, I will apologize to Geng Sang privately and am willing to make financial compensation for the deceased. At the same time, there will be a heavyweight officer in the Zhepeng Garrison Army who will be responsible for this matter. And Geng Sang, you only need to meet the conditions I just mentioned."

Su Yi asked: "Who is the heavyweight officer that Mr. He Zhi is talking about?"

He Zhiyingji stared at Su Yi's eyes and said word by word: "Matsumuro Takayoshi, a colonel officer of the North China Garrison Army."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone was shocked.

They thought that He Zhiyingji would just introduce a scapegoat to perfunctorily deal with it, but they didn't expect that such a senior officer would be responsible for this matter.

If Matsumuro Takayoshi was still alive, the concession of the Zhepeng people would definitely be regarded as sincere.

But only Su Yi and Liu Haiqing knew that Matsumuro Takayoshi had already "taken responsibility" for the incident, and the so-called concession by He Zhiying was actually a vain concession.

Su Yi could only assume that he had indeed made concessions, otherwise, it would be equivalent to admitting to He Zhiyingji that he had killed Matsumuro Takayoshi.

Su Yi pretended to be surprised, and after a slight silence, he asked: "Matsumu Takayoshi, I know this person, how do you plan to hold him responsible? Will you shoot him according to military law?"

He Zhiyingji shook his head: "Sorry, Geng Sang, for the reputation of the Great Zhe Peng Empire, we will not do this, and we will not publicly admit any fault, but we will secretly execute Matsumuro Takayoshi, and you can see his body with your own eyes."

"Not enough!" Su Yi took a deep breath, "There is one person you must hand over to me! And this person must also bear the public responsibility for the death of these seventy people!"

"Geng Sang, is it Wu Zantong, Wu Sang?" He Zhiyingji guessed Su Yi's thoughts.

"Yes." Su Yi nodded, "I believe that you received great assistance from this person when you arrested him. Wu Zantong, you must hand him over!"

"As long as you execute Matsumuro Takayoshi, hand over Wu Zantong, apologize privately, and compensate for 70 lives, I will immediately revoke the sanctions against the Japanese Concession Foot Trade."

"Believe me, Mr. He Zhi, the Japanese Concession is by no means a forbidden area for the Foot Trade. There are more things I can do, but I don't want to do it completely, so I didn't do it..."

He Zhi Yingji said faintly: "Geng Sang, Wu Sang is the most loyal friend of our Dazhe Peng Empire. I can't hand him over to you. Otherwise, who will dare to make friends with the Dazhe Peng Empire in the future?"

Su Yi said lightly: "Mr. He Zhi, I'm not afraid of offending you. I'll let you hand him over Wu Zantong, I'm just giving you a way out. In fact, it's easy for me to kill this man, and I don't need your consent at all! "

He Zhiying'er's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "I almost forgot that Wu Sang is also from the Jinmen Foot Trade, and he is your subordinate Geng Sang. It is natural for a superior to deal with his subordinates, and this is something that even God cannot stop. Although we are friends with Wu Sang, we can't point fingers at his mistakes at work. "

"I hope you send him here." Su Yi pointed to the ground, "When all the brothers of the Foot Trade who were captured by you walk out of the Japanese Concession, when Wu Zantong stands in front of me, I will announce that the normal business cooperation with the Japanese Concession will be fully restored. "

"Baga..." Kameda Ichiro on the side was furious, and Su Yi's excessive demands angered him.

"Auntie is tired!" He Zhiying'er immediately scolded and interrupted him.

Kameda Ichiro stared at Su Yi angrily, unwilling to shut up, and his chest rose and fell violently with anger.

"Excuse me, my subordinate is ignorant. I will teach him a lesson." He Zhiyingji bowed slightly to Su Yi.

Then he changed the subject: "I can agree to all of Geng Sang's conditions, but after Wu Sang leaves, the foot trade in the Japanese Concession will be unattended, and I am afraid it will fall into chaos. I hope the successor is someone that both you and I can trust, and someone who knows the Japanese Concession very well. I hope I can recommend this person."

Su Yi looked at him and nodded slowly: "Okay."

He had to agree to this point even if he didn't want to. Otherwise, even if Su Yi arranged someone to go there, the Zhepeng people would not let Su Yi's people get any rights, and they might do something disgusting.

Su Yi is not strong enough to plant nails in the Japanese Concession openly, so the foot trade in the Japanese Concession must still be run by the Zhepeng people.

Some people may ask, if that's the case, why did the Zhepeng people ask Su Yi?

Zhepeng's foot trade should just become independent, announce that it has severed its relationship with Su Yi, and then collect its own money, recruit its own people and do its own work.

Su Yi doesn't dare to enter the Japanese concession anyway, so why does it have to be registered under Su Yi's name and give the bulk of its income to Su Yi every month for nothing?

This is the strength of the underground forces in Tianjin. These customary rules are more effective than the law to some extent.

What will happen if the Zhepeng people really dare to do this?

The Liba in Tianjin will flee the Japanese concession one after another, and there will be no one to help the Zhepeng people move goods. Unless the Zhepeng people themselves conscript men and force others to help them move goods.

But even so, a series of things such as lip service, perfunctory work, and sneaky tricks will occur, making the Zhepeng people anxious, and finally they find that it is better to spend some money to let the foot trade do these things.

The foot trade may not be able to do anything to the Zhepeng people, but it is definitely very experienced in how to deal with disobedient Liba and bosses. If independence is really possible, people like Wu Zantong would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

Wu Zantong is not afraid of Bayanqing and Su Yi, but the rules that have been agreed upon by the foot trade for nearly a hundred years!

"You can designate the person, but after the person is selected, he must come to my place and sign a formal contract." Su Yi looked at He Zhiyinger, "The salary and benefits of the foot trade in the Japanese concession must be unified with ours from now on, and the workers' wages cannot be deducted for any reason."

"I can agree to this request." He Zhiyinger said.

"Very good, we can discuss the details." Su Yi's face also eased.

If all the things negotiated can be implemented, then this matter can be regarded as a relatively satisfactory solution.

The important things have been settled, and the remaining details will be easy to handle, but it is more cumbersome.

An hour later, both parties have settled all the details, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the matter.

Su Yi thanked those who came here to witness the negotiations and presented generous gifts.

The representatives of the concessions and the government were also satisfied with the result. They also got the information they wanted from the negotiation.

Even the arrogant Zhepeng people yielded to Su Yi, and their evaluation of Su Yi was undoubtedly improved.

After the witnesses left, only Su Yi, He Zhiyingji, Liu Haiqing and Kameda Ichiro were left.

He Zhiyingji suddenly said with a smile.

"Geng, have you heard of the name Longchuan Feiyuan?"
