Chapter 454 A secret talk

"Oh, what a rare guest. Are you planning to buy a batch of arms?" Wu Shaoting said half-jokingly and half-carefully. He signaled everyone to sit down first, and he also found a seat in front to sit down.

Deng Keng brought the door of the conference room with his backhand, and then stood at the door.

Cai Chai is the old man at Cen Chunxuan's house the day before yesterday. At this time, he adjusted his sitting posture and said with a flattering smile: "I didn't make an appointment in advance, so I took the liberty to disturb General Wu. Please forgive General Wu for any rudeness."

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "This is too exaggerated. After all, we are business partners. Even ordinary friends often visit each other. It is reasonable. Mr. Cai and Mr. Ruan don't be too polite. Just say anything directly. We don't need to bend around the bush."

Cai Cha and Ruan Lingzhi looked at each other. Although Ruan Lingzhi was still wearing a scarf and could not see clearly, she could still feel a little relieved from her eyes. Then, Cai Chak said politely: "Since General Wu is so happy, we will not talk much. In fact, this time our young master came to Guangzhou. In addition to visiting the famous General Wu and checking the ordered arms, there are two important things that I hope to discuss with General Wu. If the discussion is feasible, I believe that our Tokyo Ruan family and General Wu can achieve more benefits, longer-term and closer cooperation."

Wu Shaoting carefully considered the three adjectives used by Cai Cha. Cooperation is naturally for profit, but he does not think that he can reach a long-term and close cooperative relationship with these Vietnamese. If it is just to buy hundreds of pieces of arms or hundreds of stones of rice, he can find a merchant in Vietnam to make a deal.

He nodded calmly and asked with a little curiosity: "This is really new, I would like to hear it."

Cai Cha was calm and said seriously: "We went to the Whampoa Military Academy and the Army Special Non-commissioned Officer School in the past two days. We are deeply touched by this. The schools that are trained in the country are worthy of being one of the best. Our young master has an idea, or a request, and hopes that General Wu can accept our Vietnamese students to sign up for the military academy in Guangdong Province."

Wu Shaoting was surprised. Why did Ruan Lingzhi suddenly have such an idea? Although there are not many examples of Vietnamese studying at the Central School in modern history, it is not without them. For Vietnam, studying in China is like Chinese students studying in Japan. Wu Yuanjia and Ho Chi Minh both studied in China one after another.

"The principle is that there is no requirement for enrollment of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Army Special Non-commissioned Officer School. However, the situation in China is quite special now, especially in the current situation in Guangdong Province, and the demand for military talents has already been established. If Vietnamese students can stay in China after graduation, maybe I can arrange for their separate entrance assessment." Wu Shaoting said deliberately.

"This, General Wu, the reason why we sent personnel to your country to study is to hope to learn advanced theories and knowledge from your country, and then return to your motherland to serve. Chinese students have studied abroad and have never seen them stay abroad for work?" Cai Cha said hurriedly.

"I have said before that the current situation is quite special. As a local government in Guangdong Province, we do not have so much manpower, material resources and financial resources to train people who cannot be used by me. Besides, please forgive me for not understanding why Mr. Ruan suddenly had such an idea. You are just a landlord's house, and you can hire some gunmen to guard the house. What's more, you have hired Dennis, a military adviser. Why should you send people to study abroad in foreign military academies so seriously?" Wu Shaoting asked. The Ruan family in Tokyo has been working so hard to cultivate military strength. If it is to kill the house guard the house, it is the only possibility that it is to launch a large-scale military operation. Either uprising or compete with other large landlord groups, you can't think of anything else.

"Some things are indeed inconvenient to say more, but once a deeper relationship is established with General Wu, you may be able to tell General Wu the truth. Everything must have a beginning, and General Wu will not easily believe the person he met for the first time. As for the manpower, material resources and financial resources that General Wu just mentioned, these are actually small matters. As long as General Wu only pays a tuition price, it doesn't matter even if we let our people take care of their own food and accommodation, we will definitely not bargain for half a cent." Cai Cha said further.

Wu Shaoting can already speculate that these Vietnamese people are planning to do a big cause. If they put aside Dennis, it means they do not trust Dennis and refuse to tell the truth. This means that this matter is very important and must be hidden. All signs indicate that a certain dynasty in the Tokyo Ruan family showed signs of usurping the throne.

Of course, no matter what the Tokyo Ruan family wants to do, the key is what benefits he can get from these things. As of now, helping Vietnamese train a few to dozens of military talents, even if the tuition fee is high, it is just a matter of one-time transaction and no big profit can be made. Even if he has the intention to reach closer cooperation with the Tokyo Ruan family, or even help the Tokyo Ruan family to fuel the fire, but looking at Guangdong's strength cannot compete with the French. In the end, it will either fail or have the benefits to the French. It is not cost-effective.

"I will consider this matter first. After all, this is the first foreign enrollment faced by my Whampoa Military Academy and the Army Special Non-Commissioner School since its establishment. I will organize a discussion with the school as soon as possible, and we can continue to talk about it once there is a result." He first found a way out for himself.

Cai Cha naturally had no choice but to say some good things politely.

"So, what is the second thing?" Wu Shaoting asked again. He was already a little interested now. The cooperation that Vietnamese come to him for is too risky. If China currently has the strength of Japan, this matter of fishing for big fish with long fibers must be taken over.

"When it comes to the second thing, maybe General Wu will be more convenient. General Wu's foreign trade company is located in Guiren Port. In fact, this port can only be regarded as a small port in the entire Vietnam. If it weren't for the southern and northern routes that needed supply in the middle, this port would have no development value at all. But since General Wu chose this place, our Tokyo Ruan family is also preparing to buy a few pieces of land at this port to lay the foundation." Cai Cha described to Wu Shaoting slowly with a little confidence and complacent smile.

"Oh, is it? What are your plans?" Wu Shaoting asked calmly. Although he was not specifically responsible for the foreign trade company's affairs, he could see at a glance that Cen Chunxuan's purpose of choosing Guiren Port, trying to avoid France's sphere of influence, and taking into account the convenience of coastal transportation lines.

"We hope General Wu can send some capable officers to Guirengang to help us train a group of gunmen."

"What? I think you should look for Dennis for this kind of thing." Wu Shaoting was a little amused and silly. He was training officers and officers. Even a fool knew what the Ruan family in Tokyo was going to do.

"Mr. Dennis is mainly responsible for our family's military guidance in Tokyo, and even several manors in the Annan area cannot control it. I think we will hire General Wu to help train gunmen, and Mr. Dennis won't care too much, let alone just Guirengang." Cai Cha said as kindly as possible.

Wu Shaoting took a deep breath and then fell into a long silent thought. He was thinking about the connection between the two things that the Vietnamese were talking about. The connection between the two was obvious, and the problem lies here. If he agreed to one of them, the other thing became optional. Why not agree together? Now what he was facing is still the issues of interests and conflict. Often, this kind of military cooperation will not rely on tens of thousands of yuan to make core interests, but more of a long-term gain. For example, taking the opportunity to operate changes in the situation in Vietnam to make profits, but what should the French do? This is the key.

Cai Cha looked at Wu Shaoting's silent look and finally noticed it. He immediately said, "General Wu, if you are willing to reach this cooperation with us, I dare say that your company's business in Vietnam will be booming. You may not know much about the situation in Vietnam. There are people blocking the roads on almost every section of the road. These people are either big landlords, bandits, or unlucky people. This is why our Tokyo Nguyen family must train gunmen in every territory. As long as General Wu is willing to help us, we will also help General Wu. In the future, we will guarantee that there will be no mistakes in your company's transportation in central and northern Vietnam. In addition, all the arms of our Tokyo Nguyen family will be handed over to your company for shipment in the future. Your company needs our Vietnamese goods, and we will also sell them to General Wu at the lowest price and priority."

Wu Shaoting looked up at Cai Cha. Cai Cha's conditions were actually what he wanted to gain from Dennis. On one hand, he was the power of the colony and on the other hand, he was a middle-aged figure in the colony. There were indeed many choices between the two. If he chose to cooperate with Dennis, the price or price of cooperation would definitely not be low. In the eyes of foreigners, China is now equal and will never be on par. As for the Vietnamese, although the conditions are good, they are not guaranteed and cannot avoid conflicts with the French.

Seeing that Wu Shaoting still didn't speak, Cai Cha couldn't help asking: "General Wu, are you worried... what will the French feel?"
