He Rui took the business card, and the title on it was "Vice President of Mitsui Co., Ltd." He had no impression of the name, but judging from the title and style, he should be an important figure in the Mitsui Zaibatsu.

"Everything Mr. He said is to the point. I wonder if Mr. He has any ideas on Japan's future national economic policy."

After saying that, Mitsui Yasuki looked at He Rui and saw that He Rui frowned slightly and said nothing.

Mitsui is not surprised. How can it be so easy to formulate economic policies at the national level? There are so many outstanding talents in Japan's top management, and it is still impossible to come up with a completely convincing policy. If he hadn't seen He Rui leaving soon, Mitsui would not have proposed this in any case.

General questions.

Mitsui Yasuki doesn't know much about He Rui, and he started paying attention to him more than half a year ago.

It was He Rui who accurately predicted the world war based on the so-called "geopolitics" that made him famous. It was through collaboration with He Rui on papers that Professor Dong Daping gained recognition from the academic community and was promoted from associate professor to professor in one fell swoop.

But where there are benefits, there are also troubles. When the Asahi Shimbun began to reprint a large number of papers and predictions jointly produced by the two, He Rui's previous "serious suggestion to the Ministry of Finance" was also reported. A huge black pot fell from the sky and smashed

Minister of Tibet Takahashi Korekiyo and Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu saw stars in their eyes.

After the article was published, it immediately aroused heated discussion. The reporter interviewed many executives in Tokyo's banking industry and business circles. The Mitsui family established Japan's first private bank. Only then did we really hear about a person like He Rui.

When asked by reporters, various banks stated that the Ministry of Finance did not take any measures before the war.

"The so-called measures are simply nonsense. Who would have thought that a Chinese person could guess so accurately?" said a source who did not want to reveal his identity. "In fact, someone mentioned (this) matter, but it was in an izakaya.

Just for conversation. Who would put an Army officer’s economic forecast into a formal job?”

However, the purpose of the opposition party was to overthrow the government, so how could they let go of the opportunity. They ridiculed him in the Diet. Okuma Shigenobu pretended to be deaf and dumb at first, but he had no choice but to apologize to the people. Takahashi Korekiyo personally met with He Rui to discuss the matter.

A monthly allowance of 150 yen is provided to hire Professor Ping Fengsheng and 'assistant' He Rui as special economic advisors to the Ministry of Finance.

Of course, the most important thing is to publish the hiring of Professor Ping Fengsheng and He Rui in the newspapers to calm the pressure of public opinion...

"Mr. Mitsui." He Rui spoke. Mitsui Yasuki quickly retracted his thoughts.

"Economic policy focuses on production and demand. The current demand comes from the war. When this demand disappears, national policy should create demand. Use the created demand to provide employment and maintain economic operation."

Mitsui Yasuki was greatly puzzled, "He Jun, how come the created demand you mentioned is like a tree without roots and water without a source. If there were these demands, there would be no need to create them. The government would have already started taking action."

He Rui shook his head, "Creating demand is a very high-level national policy. To implement it, several prerequisites are needed. The first is that the country has the ability to lower interest rates. Through wartime exports, Japan changed from a debtor country to a creditor country, and its currency is relatively

Sufficient to meet this point. Secondly, there must be clear investment targets under low interest rates. The direction of national investment should be limited to areas such as infrastructure construction and the national economy and people's livelihood. Railways, ports, electricity. Construction of new housing in cities, improvement of living environment, adjustment

The location of the industrial zone solves the commuting transportation difficulties for workers. By expanding the scale of education, the number of educated people in Japan is increased and the quality of the Japanese people is improved. The money is spent, but it seems that there is no actual profit. Because the purpose of the money is not to make profit.

, but to maintain economic operation so that people are not unemployed and have income. If this can be done, future benefits can naturally be expected. The economy is not good now, but the economy will not be bad forever. Large-scale infrastructure construction and industrial upgrading are not only

It can maintain employment and economic operations, and also lay the foundation for longer-term production investment expansion. Once there are changes in overseas markets, Japan can immediately turn on its power and produce at full capacity."

Mitsui Yasuki fell into deep thought, and the reporter next to him continued to write down quick records.

He Rui took out his pocket watch and looked at it again. Seeing that He Rui wanted to leave, Mitsui Yasuki said: "He Jun, please take my car and let me take He Jun to the dock."

He Rui didn't refuse and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

On the way to the dock, Mitsui Yasuki asked a lot of questions in the car, but most of them were related to China and Japan. It can be seen that Mitsui Yasuki is very concerned about Chinese affairs, and his words are deep and polite.

At this time, the Japanese elites were high-spirited. Although they were a little naive about major political and economic issues, they were full of ambition and vitality. He Rui couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

When the car arrived at the pier, He Rui saw the huge outline of the passenger ship through the car window from a distance. The three characters "Mito Maru" on the bow were particularly eye-catching. Crowds were surging in the passage of the pier, and it was a bustling scene. Come and meet

Everyone who was seeing off He Rui had been waiting at the pier for a long time.

Lu Feng, the counselor of the Embassy in Japan, came over to meet everyone, and then handed the ticket to He Rui, "Brother He, your luggage has been put on the ship. Please board the ship quickly."

He Rui got out of the car and greeted the Morita family, Ishihara Wanji, Nagumo Chuichi, Yamaguchi Tawen and others. He turned around and looked around, but was surprised to find that even the usually feuding Okamura Neji and Tojo Hideki actually

He also came to see him off, then strode forward, shook hands with Okamura and said: "He is so lucky to be able to meet senior Okamura and Tojo classmate here. Your magnanimity is really unexpected!"

Okamura Neiji took a step forward, "He Jun will definitely become the empire's formidable enemy if he goes here. I think that I will be facing off with He Jun on the battlefield of the temple for the rest of my life. It is really a joy in life. In this case, why not come?"

Behind him, Toshiro Obata, Hideki Tojo and other army officers nodded in unison and said loudly: "That's exactly it!"

He Rui shook his head and sighed: "If you are obsessed with the military-state path, I will correct it!"

At this time, the whistle blew loudly, urging passengers to board the ship. He Rui immediately said goodbye to Nan Yun Zhongyi and Yamaguchi Duowen. Seeing Nan Yun Zhongyi hesitated to speak, He Rui said with a smile: "You and I are close friends, why bother to be coy?

Japan and Japan are at war with each other, and everyone is their own master, but they are just doing their duty as soldiers!"

Nagumo Chuichi and Yamaguchi Tawen looked at each other and smiled, "You are so free and easy, we admire you!"

Yamaguchi Dawen held He Rui's hand, shook it vigorously, and laughed: "Senior Yamamoto was restless this morning. He thought about it back and forth for a long time, but finally he still didn't come. Thinking about it, he must be afraid of not being able to do anything at this time!

"

Mentioning that guy Yamamoto Isoroku, the three of them couldn't help laughing together, showing their heroic military spirit.

The whistle sounded again, and He Rui saw that there was no need to delay. He waved to the Morita family and Professor Ping Fengsheng and others, and slowly climbed up the ship's ladder. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Gentlemen, He Rui is here.

I'm going to say goodbye, and I will see you all again on the battlefield. In life and death, please show no mercy!" He paused, bowed and said, "Gentlemen of the army and navy, please serve Japan well!"

The officers on the boat all looked solemn and bowed in unison: "Please Mr. He, please serve China well! We will meet on the battlefield and show no mercy!"

The last whistle sounded loudly, a group of seagulls circled and flew at the bow of the ship, and the "Mito Maru" slowly started and accelerated out of the port.

A ray of sunshine pierced the haze, falling into the waves, and glowing with golden flowers.
