Mitsui Yasuki came out of the car, and a gust of cold wind blew, making Mitsui shiver. Compared with northern Japan, the climate in Siping is also colder.

At this time, there were several European businessmen standing outside the headquarters. Seeing the door of the headquarters open and He Rui striding out, the European businessmen immediately wanted to move forward, but were blocked by the guards.

He Rui shook hands with Mitsui warmly and said with a smile in Japanese: "Welcome Mitsui-san to Siping."

Mitsui Yasuki bowed slightly and said, "Last time, I had to rush back to Tokyo for some matters. Leaving in a hurry was definitely not my intention. Please forgive me, Mr. He."

"If you don't say that, go in and get warm." He Rui said, and invited Mitsui Yasuki to enter the headquarters.

As soon as the door was closed and the sounds outside were blocked, Mitsui Yasuki asked: "Why are the European businessmen outside blocking the entrance of the headquarters?"

"Doing business in Siping requires capital certification. Those businessmen heard that Siping can make a fortune and came to speculate. Of course our mayor Wu Youping cannot receive them. These people want to try their luck here."

While they were talking, they had already arrived in the reception room. At this time, the earthen kang was already heated. He Rui helped Mitsui Yasumu get on the kang, and invited Noguchi Noguo, the representative of the Mitsui Foundation, who was also accompanying him, to get on the kang. Tea, melon seeds and other items were already placed here.

Above. He Rui and Xu Chengfeng sat opposite Yasuki Mitsui.

Feeling the warmth on the kang, Mitsui Yasuki took off his gold-rimmed glasses that were covered with water vapor and said with a smile: "The European battlefield is full of blood and blood, but the people of China and Japan can still live such a leisurely life. Peace is really the greatest thing."

of happiness."

He Rui nodded, "That's right. But a happy life needs someone to maintain it. Mr. Mitsui is a capable person who has the ability to maintain peace and friendship between China and Japan."

Mitsui Yasuki replied enthusiastically: "My Mitsui family is an Osaka businessman. Since the Warring States Period, we have been funding people who can maintain peace. He Jun has always been a patriot in maintaining Sino-Japanese friendship. This time I am here to provide support to Mr. He."

.”

He Rui looked deeply moved, "Peace and prosperity require more people to participate. Outside the customs, I, He, have a duty to do so. I wonder if Mitsui-kun is willing to be the leader of friendly forces in Japan?"

"That's how it should be." Mitsui Yasuki nodded in agreement.

"Since Mr. Mitsui and I have the same views, why not establish the Siping Sino-Japanese Friendship Trade Association. Although Mr. Mitsui is busy with work, I still want to ask Mr. Mitsui to serve as the president."

"Since we are in Siping, why not let Governor He take over the position of president?"

"What does it mean for soldiers to do business?" He Rui said with a smile, "How about this. Our Siping Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Mitsui's side will each send three people to form a committee. Matters will be decided through consultation by the committee."

Mitsui Yasuki agreed, and then asked: "In that case, I wonder what kind of help He needs?"

"Siping is building a farm and needs to improve its grain processing capabilities. If Mitsui-kun can provide help in this regard, I will be grateful."

Mitsui Yasuki did not answer immediately. Now Japan is really booming in production and sales. Orders from domestic companies producing machinery and equipment are scheduled for several months. There is really no way to provide grain processing equipment. Moreover, Japan's domestic agricultural output is not high.

There is also insufficient demand for grain processing.

Seeing Mitsui's hesitation, He Rui smiled and said, "Why don't you, Mitsui-san, please invite some technicians from Japanese agricultural schools to teach in Chinese agricultural schools. This will also help me a lot."

Mitsui Yasuki said with a smile: "I should obey my fate."

"One more thing. Please Mitsui-kun send Japanese architects to Siping to help us build a hotel with a pure Japanese style. Japanese businessmen come to Siping to do business, so it's a good idea to stay here."

Mitsui Yasuki turned to Noguchi Nobuo and said, "Have you written it down? Let's do it immediately."

"Hi." Noguchi Nobuo responded immediately.

He Rui turned to Noguchi Noguchi, "Noguchi-kun, just contact Mayor Wu directly,"

"Hi." Noguchi Nobuo responded again.

Seeing He Rui's neat handling, Mitsui Yasuki smiled and said: "He Jun, I wonder if there are any scenic spots in Siping. Could you please take me to see them?"

"It's impossible to talk about the scenic spots here in Siping. As for the scenery, there may be a little bit of it now."

"Then I'll bother Mr. He."

He Rui knew that Mitsui Yasuki was talking to him through this, so he ordered someone to drive to Shanmen Reservoir. On the way, Mitsui Yasuki asked: "He Jun, do you think Russia will be defeated? I looked at the battle report and the German army has occupied

It has invaded the entire Polish region and is about to attack Kiev."

He Rui seemed calm on the surface, "Although the Russian army suffered some losses, the land between Russia and Germany was wet and muddy, and the railway was not repaired, so the German army was not advancing very fast. In my opinion, the German army will not repeat what Napoleon did.

The same mistake as the winter attack on Russia, the attack will stop."

After hearing what He Rui said, Mitsui Yasuki nodded, "He Jun's views are actually consistent with those of the General Staff Headquarters. But have He Jun ever been worried about the Chinese civil war? I watched He Jun's interview, and He Jun's vision is more...

Japan is more profound."

"Mitsui-kun, don't you think President Yuan Shikai is a tragic figure?" He Rui sighed.

"Oh?" Yasuki Mitsui didn't expect He Rui to say that.

"President Yuan Da wants to do things very much and show his ambition. But time is also destiny. When he becomes emperor, it will be the day of his failure. It is sad to think about it."

Mitsui Yasuki was stunned for a moment. Seeing that there was no falsehood in He Rui's expression, he sighed: "I didn't expect that Mr. He would look at President Yuan like this."

"Yuan Gong has all kinds of things, but he is a heroic hero. Seeing the old age of a hero, it is inevitable to sigh. Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and it is not allowed to grow old in the world."

After He Rui finished speaking, seeing that Mitsui Yasuki wanted to continue talking about domestic affairs in China, he changed the topic, "When I was a consultant to the Ministry of Finance, I received advice from Minister Takahashi several times. I am very grateful. I don't know Takahashi.

The minister is doing well recently."

The domestic situation in Japan was relatively stable. Mitsui Yasuki and He Rui chatted about Japan for a while, and the car drove to the Shimen Reservoir.

At this time, work on the construction site had been completed, and only a small group of militiamen responsible for guarding the site were left. When the militia captain saw He Rui, he quickly came forward to greet him. Hearing that He Rui was going to visit the lake area, he quickly led the way.

It rained twice after the beginning of winter. Mitsui Yasuki followed He Rui up the long embankment, and saw that some water had accumulated under the small embankment that blocked the water. A small boat was parked on the water on the shore. Looking at the terrain again, it felt like

After seeing the future appearance, I couldn't help but praise: "He Jun's governance ability is admirable."

He Rui pointed to the mountains outside the lake area that will soon become the lake area and said: "Starting next year, the mountains here will be closed for afforestation to conserve water sources. In two years at most, Shanmen Lake will definitely become a beautiful place in Siping. When the water is full, Mitsui and I

You were boating and drinking in the lake."
