Chapter 476 Takemoto Swears

At the time of the search, not only the Hosokawa family offered a bounty, but many Japanese businessmen also offered a reward. One even offered a reward of [-] yen. Whoever can help him find Tomotaka Hosokawa can take it away. This bounty.

It is a pity that in the end, everyone failed to achieve their wish.

Now that Lord Konoe has come to power and the two families of Hosokawa Konoe have married, Hosokawa Tomotaka's influence has once again increased.

Hosokawa Tomotaka was able to write a letter to himself, and Matsumoto was very happy.

Can't wait to open the letter, Ji Hyo's handwriting is still so beautiful.

It was a very ordinary letter, first expressing his longing for him, saying that he would come back when he had the opportunity to talk with him at night and discuss great literature together.

The second is to explain his own situation. He doesn't want to go back to the country, and he is worried that his family will forcibly take him back, so he couldn't come to see him in person. Please forgive Matsumoto.

In the end, the topic was named. His best classmate, Ishihara Toru who saved his life, asked him to intercede. Major Takemoto of the Gendarmerie has been promoted to major for three years. Does he meet the criteria for promotion to lieutenant officer?

If so, can I be promoted.

In the letter, Tomotaka Hosokawa said very clearly, if it is difficult, then don't do it.

After reading the letter, Matsumoto fell into deep thought.

After a while, he took out a notebook, which contained articles written by Tomotaka Hosokawa.

"Come on, let's have a test of these two things to see if they were written by the same person."

He could see that it was indeed Tomotaka Hosokawa's handwriting, but he was not an expert in handwriting, and some people are very good at imitating other people's handwriting these days.

But no matter how imitated it is, it is not me after all, and a real expert can see the flaws in it.

The appraisal result came out quickly, and it was written by the same person.

Matsumoto was completely relieved, and immediately asked someone to call Takemoto. He didn't have any impression of Takemoto, after all, he was a major general, and Takemoto was just a major.

Takemoto was very surprised to hear Commander Matsumoto summoned.

The distance between him and the commander is very far, and it is difficult to see the commander's face at ordinary times. Commander Matsumoto summoned him suddenly, and he immediately thought of what he asked Ishihara Heng to do last time.

Was Shi Yuanheng really so powerful that he helped him accomplish this?
With excitement, he carefully arranged his clothes and image, and soon arrived at General Matsumoto's office.

"General, are you looking for me?"

Standing in front of General Matsumoto, Takemoto tried his best to calm down his mood.

"Do you know a man named Ishihara Hiroshi?" General Matsumoto asked without letting Takemoto sit down.

"My subordinates only met him a few days ago. Shi Yuanheng is a very successful businessman."

"merchant?"

Matsumoto was a little surprised, and then asked, "How old is he?"

"Very young, in his early twenties."

Ishihara-kun is really amazing, he actually helped him with this matter in just a few days, otherwise General Matsumoto would not have asked him about it.

"Young and promising."

Matsumoto nodded slightly. It is not easy to be evaluated as a successful businessman, and the scale of the business is definitely not small.

Takemoto didn't speak, he was still controlling his heartbeat.

"I have read your file. You have been promoted to Major for three years, and you have made a lot of achievements before. I will help you make a report for the next promotion. You should go back first."

"Thank you, General."

Takemoto was overjoyed and bowed deeply, Ishihara-kun's energy is really not small, it was so easy for him to accomplish such a difficult thing.

It seems that what he said is correct, he does have a deep relationship with Hosokawa Tomotaka.

This time, I must thank him well, and Inoue is really his lucky general. He just took care of his comrade's brother because of his comrade. He did not expect to bring such great benefits to himself.

Being promoted to lieutenant a year earlier, he had a chance to become a general.

If Ishihara Hiroshi catches the line of Hosokawa Tomotaka, the possibility of him being promoted to general in the future will be greatly increased.

"Inoue, pack up immediately and accompany me to see Ishihara-kun."

Back in his office, he immediately called for Zongshi Inoue, who was the link between him and Ishihara Toru, and he had to take him with him when he went to visit Ishihara-kun.

"Go to see Ishihara-kun, why?"

Inoue was in a daze, not understanding why His Majesty the Major was so excited.

"Don't ask, remember, keep respecting Shi Yuan-kun, he will be of great help to you in the future."

His own minor officer can be promoted to lieutenant officer, not to mention the warrant officer Inoue.

As long as Ishihara Heng is willing, he believes that Inoue will be promoted much faster than him.

"Yes."

Inoue was still a little confused, but he had to listen to what Major Takemoto said.

While Inoue went to clean up, Takemoto was thinking about what gift to give.

After helping him so much, the gift should not be too light, but Shi Yuanheng is not short of money, and he does not have enough money to give it.

After much deliberation, Takemoto decided to bring a few gold bars and a few rare ancient books. This is his hobby. He only has these things, and there is really nothing he can do.

Prepared gifts, took Inoue with him, and Takemoto drove himself, and soon arrived at Ishihara Trading Company.

This is his first time here, and Shiyuan Trading Company is really not small, with a big face.

"Is Ishihara-kun here?"

Takemoto hadn't called before, so he couldn't see anyone.

"The boss is usually outside and doesn't come here much. Why don't you leave your contact information and I'll let the boss contact you?"

Alchemist Yi smiled and said, while Takemoto shook his head: "No, please tell Shi Yuan-kun, I am Takemoto from the gendarmerie, and I will wait for him here."

"Okay, but it usually takes a few hours for our boss to come back, are you sure you want to wait?"

Alchemist Yi explained again, and Takemoto didn't hesitate: "Wait."

Fang Shiyi went to call to inform him that he had no way to contact the boss directly, so he had to pass it on through someone else.

But Takemoto's introduction caught his attention.

Another member of the gendarmerie, Inoue was in the gendarmerie, he knew that today Inoue followed this Takemoto and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Obviously, he is dominated by Takemoto.

Takemoto was wearing plain clothes, he was here to visit, and he was afraid of being impolite in military uniform, so Fang Shiyi didn't know he was a major.

Fang Shiyi sent them to the tea room, made tea and asked them to wait.

After three full hours, when it was almost dark, Chu Lingyun came back.

"Takemoto-kun, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

As soon as he came in, Chu Lingyun took the initiative to apologize. After receiving the news, he needed to go to the safe room to do makeup, and it took more than an hour just to do the makeup.

It took three hours to arrive, which is already very fast.

"It's okay, we didn't have to wait long."

Takemoto's attitude towards Ishihara changed a lot, he was very respectful, alchemist Yi came to help, and gave him a strange look.

It was the same with Chishang before, a captain, who actually respected a businessman so much, and even focused on this businessman.

"Looking at your appearance, it should be that General Matsumoto has received Zhixiao's letter and helped you to be promoted to lieutenant sergeant, right?"

Chu Lingyun laughed and said, but Alchemist Yi was shocked.

This Takemoto turned out to be the Major.

The major of the gendarmerie is not low in rank.

And his attitude towards Chu Lingyun shocked Alchemist Yi even more. After waiting here for three hours, he said that he didn't wait long, and he was so polite.

Most importantly, Ishihara Heng can help him to be promoted to lieutenant officer. Ishihara Heng has such great energy?
These are all important information, and it just so happens that his investigation of Ishihara Trading Company and Ishihara Hiroshi is basically completed, and he will report back together.

"Ishihara-kun, thank you very much this time, this is a small gift, it is not a respect, please accept it."

Takemoto lowered his head, said respectfully, and pushed the gift over.

Inoue was stunned again, and Ishihara Toru actually helped Takemoto get a promotion. This was the promotion from Major to Lieutenant Assistant, not Captain Ikegami's promotion to Major.

And Ikegami will have to do a few more meritorious deeds before he has a chance, is it already done for Takemoto?
How could that young businessman who opened a humble shop be so powerful?
No wonder Major Takemoto's attitude is different today, the reason is here.

"Takemoto-kun, as I said, we are a family."

Chu Lingyun smiled, and nodded to Fang Shiyi, and Fang Shiyi hurriedly retreated.

After he left, Chu Lingyun opened the box directly.

Below are three ancient Japanese books, and five gold bars are placed on top.

Although Takemoto is a major, he doesn't have many opportunities to make money. If it wasn't for the gendarmerie, he wouldn't even be able to get the money out.

His military salary is quite a lot, and the monthly allowances add up to almost two hundred yen, but he has to send part of it back to his family, and he still has a wife and children to support.

With the rest plus the usual fishing points, he saved five gold bars.

Inoue was surprised again, he didn't expect that Ishihara-kun opened the box in front of Takemoto, and he noticed that Major Takemoto beside him also had a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Takemoto-kun, do you know what General Matsumoto likes best?"

Chu Lingyun asked, Takemoto calmed down, and replied softly: "I don't know much about General Matsumoto's hobbies. I only heard that he likes literature more, and drinking tea."

Matsumoto likes literature, Chu Lingyun is very clear, but Matsumoto's literary talent is really average.

In addition to literature, Matsumoto also likes to play the piano. His piano skills are as outstanding as his literary talent.

But he couldn't help but like it.

"It seems that you don't know enough, just wait a moment."

Chu Lingyun got up, and went outside to get a guqin, paulownia wood with thirteen strings.

This is the work of a famous Japanese master, and the value of this guqin is more than [-] yen.

"Tomorrow you go to see General Matsumoto and give him this guqin as a thank you."

Chu Lingyun said softly, Takemoto doesn't know Guqin, but this Qin is not ordinary at first glance, it is very simple and beautiful, the value of this Qin is definitely not low.

"In addition, you take these things back. I don't need them. When Takemoto-kun is in a high position in the future, just help me."

Chu Lingyun pushed the gift box over again, he really didn't lack a few gold bars.

The sulfa business has been booming. Not long ago, Smith sent a telegram asking for a large sum of money to open a factory in the United States to manufacture sulfa.

If you make it yourself, the cost will definitely be reduced a lot and you will earn more.

After a long period of negotiations with the pharmaceutical company, he finally negotiated a patent authorization of 150 million US dollars, which they could afford.

The pharmaceutical factory has also considered for a long time. While selling the authorization, they are required to continue to perform the previous agency contract, and the goods they get from their factory every year should not be less than 150 million US dollars.

Below this amount, they have the right to withdraw the production authorization of sulfonamide.

The production capacity of the pharmaceutical factory is limited, and they cannot produce so much. It is better to sell the authorization to make a fortune first.

In this way, we can not only retain big customers, continue to make money, but also earn an extra 150 million purely.

There are many places where wars are fought, but only China is the one that really fights. They have given the agency to Smith, and it is indeed in their best interest to do so.

After Chu Lingyun found out, he immediately asked Smith to agree.

How did they know that the whole world will face war in more than a year, and the price of sulfonamide will be even higher at that time.

They were authorized to sell the sulfonamide they produced at will, which Chu Lingyun deliberately asked Smith to bring up during the negotiation.

Sales cannot be restricted because of authorization, this is their bottom line.

In the end, the pharmaceutical factory agreed. Anyway, as long as they keep their big customer, the annual production of the pharmaceutical factory can be guaranteed to be sold.

Besides, it is not only the United States that has sulfa drug factories in Europe.

Smith is now full of energy in the United States. He has made bold promises that the production capacity of the new pharmaceutical factory will reach 500 million US dollars per year to help them earn more money.

He also wanted Chu Lingyun to increase his shares, but Chu Lingyun refused.

The shares in the pharmaceutical factory are also 20.00%. Depending on the future sales, he will increase it step by step, up to a maximum of 150%. You must know that the patent fee of [-] million US dollars this time is all paid by Chu Lingyun.

Now the patent authorization is in the hands of Chu Lingyun himself.

With this authorization, he can even directly open a factory in China to produce sulfonamide.

This matter has been handed over to Liu Chengzhu by Chu Lingyun. China must have its own pharmaceutical factory, so that the price of sulfonamide can be lowered in the future and more people can be saved.

The 150 million US dollars was taken out, and Chu Lingyun really didn't lack this little money.

"Ishi Yuan-kun, I know I don't have as much money as you, but this is my heart."

Takemoto was startled, and hurriedly said, while Chu Lingyun walked over and grabbed his arm: "Mr. Takemoto, I have already received your wish. I don't think the money is too small, but it is unnecessary. I give you eight thousand yuan for this violin." I received it in Japanese yen, but this violin is not enough, in the future I will help you give General Matsumoto more things he likes, including money."

"And you, you have to be promoted to Lieutenant Commander and Chief Commander as quickly as possible. When you are in a high position in the future, I will need you."

Chu Lingyun made it clear this time that he was investing.

Invest in Takemoto's future.

Takemoto was moved, he finally understood that Ishihara-kun did not dislike him because of the lack of money, that piano was something he couldn't afford, and Ishihara-kun specially took it for him, just to let him go the way of General Matsumoto.

No wonder Ikegami respected and admired him so much, he finally understood now.

"Ishihara-kun, please accept my thanks again. I swear, as long as I am within my ability, I will do my best to help you wholeheartedly."

Takemoto raised his hand, and he really made the oath.

"Very well, that's how it should be. Take your things back. It's getting dark. Let's eat something together and go back early."

Chu Lingyun nodded in satisfaction, and this time Takemoto was completely in his boat.

And it's the kind that focuses on him and is especially grateful to him.

The boat of Chishang, Takemoto, and Ishihara Trading Company caught a future major and a future lieutenant, and with just the information that can be obtained, Chu Lingyun can recover the entire investment several times.
