Chapter 27: Meet Him Once
Shanghai, Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters dormitory building,
Ino Yusuke skillfully pushed open Suzuhara Shingo’s dormitory building door.
“Uncle, are you looking for me?”
Suzuhara Shingo put down the brush in his hand, looked at the four large characters “Long Live Martial Fortune” in front of him, and revealed a satisfied smile.
Ino Yusuke leaned forward to take a look and couldn’t help praising, “Uncle’s calligraphy has improved quite a bit compared to before.”
Suzuhara Shingo just smiled mildly and did not take his nephew’s flattery to heart.
He gestured slightly to the side and said, “Sit down.”
“Yes, Uncle.”
Suzuhara Shingo picked up the tea cup on the tea table, and Ino Yusuke hurriedly picked up the teapot to pour tea for Suzuhara Shingo.
“Uncle, are you looking for me to ask about the transaction? I heard from Ando that this transaction went very smoothly. Some shortsighted hooligans wanted to make trouble, but Ando has already taken care of them.”
“The transaction amount handed over by Assistant Chen totals two hundred thousand US dollars. The money has been brought back. How do you want to divide this money?”
Suzuhara Shingo nodded slightly and said, “I didn’t expect this Assistant Chen to indeed have some ability. He really handled all the materials and medicine within three days.”
“Since he wants to take control, then let him have his way.”
“Temporarily suspend our plan and operate according to his plan.”
“Of course, regarding the goods, I still hold my original view: steady trickle, not suitable to alarm too much.”
“For transactions, continue using the previous method: they issue the order, we ship first, then have Yoshimoto and the others review. This way, even if there are some oversights, we can brush them off as process issues.”
“Remember one thing: earning a lot of money is useless; doing things must prioritize stability.”
“Of course, if he can quickly open up sales channels and find a fast in-and-out sales method for us, we can appropriately increase the sales progress.”
Ino Yusuke nodded and said, “Uncle, we’ll listen to you on all these.”
“But how to divide this money—a transaction of two hundred thousand US dollars is more than what we earn in half a year.”
Suzuhara Shingo said, “Still follow the previous rules: you and Ando each take twenty thousand US dollars, the others take ten thousand US dollars each.”
“The remaining sixty thousand goes to Tanaka Taro to enter into the company’s accounts, to avoid any oversights in the accounts later.”
“Deposit the remaining money into these accounts respectively.”
“Remember my words: don’t use your own name, and don’t deposit it yourself, to avoid attracting the attention of the Special Higher Police Affairs.”
“Even if you luckily go undetected once or twice, as long as you do it yourself, there will be exposure risk. We must minimize this risk.”
“We’ve weathered big storms; it would be too regrettable to get exposed over this.”
Ino Yusuke nodded and said, “Uncle, rest assured, I won’t make this mistake.”
Suzuhara Shingo sighed and said, “Uncle is still too conservative. I didn’t expect the materials business to develop this fast. Your team now has everything except a professional financial planner.”
“The military is always the strictest in investigating corruption cases; any slight movement will arouse the suspicion of the Inspection Department.”
“We really need a financial planner to help us with the follow-up work.”
“Sigh, take it one step at a time. The most important thing is still.”
Before Suzuhara Shingo finished speaking, Ino Yusuke impatiently said, “Be careful—the most important thing is to be careful. Uncle, you’ve said it many times. I’ll remember.”
“By the way, aren’t you preparing a share of this money for Assistant Chen?”
Suzuhara Shingo looked at Ino Yusuke and suddenly smiled, “Yusuke, you’re underestimating this Assistant Chen too much.”
“Since he wants to take control, that proves he doesn’t value the share we’re giving him. Simply put, he looks down on this bit of money we have.”
“I dare guarantee that when he sold these materials, he already kept considerable profit for himself.”
“You should learn well from him.”
Ino Yusuke was stunned. He rarely heard Suzuhara Shingo praise a young man so highly. This Chen Yang must really have something extraordinary to be valued by his uncle like this.
“Uncle, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first,” Ino Yusuke said respectfully.
Suzuhara Shingo took a sip of tea and suddenly said, “Yusuke, go meet with Assistant Chen.”
“I think he needs to meet with you all now too.”
“Uncle, what do you mean?” Ino Yusuke was a bit confused about Suzuhara Shingo’s idea.
“Medicine appearing on the market will definitely cause some trouble,” Suzuhara Shingo said slowly. “Plus he just made a move to grab the Sixteen Rows Wharf. If you don’t show up, he won’t feel secure.”
“As perfect collaborators, while enjoying the interests, we also need to do some things within our power.”
“For example, help him gradually grow stronger. If he benefits, we benefit too.”
“So, arrange to meet him and let him be bolder.”
Ino Yusuke stood up, bowed slightly, and said, “Yes, I understand.”
Shanghai, Fukaisen Road Lin Mansion.
In fact, Suzuhara Shingo was indeed right. Chen Yang had already reserved ample profit margin for himself during the transaction.
From this transaction, he earned ten thousand US dollars on the materials.
He earned even more on the medicine. Originally, he expected only twenty to thirty thousand US dollars in profit, but Xu Biao, that unlucky guy, didn’t follow the rules.
This saved him ten percent handling fee.
After all funds were in hand, apart from the two hundred thousand cost to hand over to Ino Yusuke, he still kept sixty thousand US dollars.
This money completely solved his cash flow needs for early development.
Chen Yang divided the funds into two parts: thirty thousand US dollars for the shop operations with Lin Yongren.
Including purchasing shops, later renovations, and some necessary expenses.
The remaining thirty thousand for handling sudden events.
He returned from RB without worries about food and clothing, but he really didn’t have much money on hand.
If he wanted to enter the Nanjing Restoration Government, he would definitely need money for socializing.
Although the materials business was good with high profit, he knew Suzuhara’s personality well. Right after finishing this deal, he wouldn’t do a second one in the short term.
He needed to see if anyone in the military was paying attention to these materials matters.
He also needed to see if the medicine appearing on the Shanghai Market would attract the attention of the Special Higher Police Affairs.
This was a very cautious person; he wouldn’t touch materials again without certainty of safety.
So, in the short term, Chen Yang only had these sixty thousand US dollars as startup funds.
He also had to use this money to complete all the early arrangements.
Knock knock knock, a knock sounded. The servant Xiao Lan pushed open the door and said, “Young Master, there’s a phone call for you. Seems like it’s from a Japanese person.”
Recommendation in progress, begging all great authors to vote for this book. The author is extremely grateful.
