Chapter 403 The Japanese Betrayed
The common trick used by these foreigners is to raise their voices, slam the table, and act very fierce to make you surrender.
But all the necessary methods were used today, but it didn't have any effect on Li Shaoyi.
On the other hand, Li Shaoyi has been speaking in a very calm tone from the beginning until now, and he has been sitting in his own seat, showing no intention of quarreling.
Simpson made his wild remarks, but he did not dare to declare war. After all, this guy was just a diplomatic ambassador, not a country's decision-maker. He could decide some things within a limited scope, but it was better not to laugh at something like a war between two countries.
The Gallic Empire is now perfecting the Maginot Line, and all its troops are on this line. It is simply impossible to ask them to send troops to the east thousands of miles away to fight a war. Congress will never approve such a thing.
"Everyone calm down. I think we can just leave it this way. This is all for the stability of Pujiang. The Concession Police Station can set up a liaison office specifically for this matter. Commander Li can also send a few of his men over to form the staff of this office. If there's anything, we can discuss it together. Don't always confront each other head-on. It's better for us to be amicable."
Mr. Du's role was reflected at this time. Both sides were already at a hard point. If no one came out to soften the situation, the negotiations would probably break down, and there would be no good results for both sides.
"I agree to this liaison office, but you must guarantee that you will not send troops into the concession at will."
Mr. Simpson was also shocked just now. The matter of going to war had already come to this. He was really afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say impulsively, so he took a big step back and changed his prohibition on Li Shaoyi sending troops into the concession to not sending troops into the concession at will.
"I can give you this guarantee. Only if both sides fail to reach an agreement will I send in the military to resolve this matter. Also, regarding the Japanese Hongkou Police Station, I believe it should be abolished. After all, Japanese police stations are illegal, and there should be no Japanese gathering areas. I know this is difficult for you, but I can help you."
Li Shaoyi took the initiative to serve as a gun for these Western devils, which made these devils look surprised. Of course, they also knew that Li Shaoyi would not do anything without benefits. The Japanese gathering areas posed a certain threat to Western countries, but it was more of a loss of face.
However, if this place continues to develop, it will have a greater impact on Longguo. It is completely possible to take this opportunity to let Li Shaoyi eliminate the Japanese gathering area.
"In the news released to the outside world, it was said that we were working together to rectify the Hongkou area and persuade some lawless Japanese to obey the law, but the prosperity of the concession also needed them..."
Simpson agreed with Li Shaoyi's proposal on the surface, but he did not want to send these Japanese back. After all, they also came with capital.
"Then everyone will have a formal identity, but they won't be able to live together. The Hongkou Police Station can continue to operate. I know you don't want to manage these Japanese, so why don't I take over the Hongkou Police Station? All Japanese who apply for formal identity will need to pay 150 yuan, and this money will be all yours."
Contracting a police station was something that had never been heard of before. Li Shaoyi proposed a new theory that Japanese expatriates could continue to live here, but they had to be dispersed, and Li Shaoyi was willing to manage these people at his own expense.
There are more than 20,000 Japanese in Pujiang, and more than 10,000 of them have no formal identity. If one person pays 150 yuan, he can make a fortune in an instant.
Mr. Du watched all this in surprise. It turned out that interests could really make everyone stand together. The two groups were fighting each other just now, but now seeing that they could get a large sum of money, these foreigners actually agreed.
They don't care about anything in the Hongkou Police Station. If Li Shaoyi can get it back, then the Hongkou Police Station will be under the control of Li Shaoyi in the future, but he must pay a management fee of 250,000 yuan every year.
Mr. Du also felt that this world was a bit absurd. The police stations all got their money from the Police Headquarters. How could a police station hand over money to the Police Headquarters?
But now Li Shaoyi has done it. The existing Japanese settlement area is no longer under the control of Western countries. Why not sell it directly to Li Shaoyi? Where can you find such a thing as getting over one million yuan for a one-time identity test and another 250,000 yuan every year?
Even if the Japanese were to offer us benefits, would they be able to offer so much? Furthermore, the Japanese now feel they have grown stronger and are already resisting the Western powers in Pujiang. Inviting Li Shaoyi in, letting him teach them a lesson, and letting these Japanese know who is controlling them.
When the meeting ended, all the consuls from various countries who participated in the meeting felt like they were dreaming. How could such an agreement be reached?
In fact, when Li Shaoyi arrived, we were already prepared. We took out the Japanese interests and divided them equally among various countries, so that other countries could ease the conflicts with us.
At the same time, Li Shaoyi also came up with a procurement plan of 13 million oceans and asked each country to go back and contact merchants from various countries.
There are already plans for Duolun Industrial Zone and Ulanqab Industrial Zone, and various purchases are carried out in multiple batches, which is also a powerful weapon in Li Shaoyi's hands.
When this procurement plan was put forward, the ministers of various countries had already forgotten about the Japanese. If we could get this procurement plan, the kickbacks given by domestic businessmen alone would probably be enough to cover our wages for more than ten years.
"Brother Li is indeed a master. He has used the interests of the Japanese to satisfy people from Western countries. In the future, you will be the most famous person in Pujiang."
Mr. Du thought he played a big role, but apart from the very beginning when he stood up to smooth things over, he was basically useless afterwards.
Everything was negotiated by Li Shaoyi personally. Apart from the Japanese, it seemed that neither side suffered much loss in Pujiang.
"This Concession Police Station Liaison Office also hopes that Mr. Du can send someone to me. I don't have such a person under my command..."
Li Shaoyi understands the principle of sharing benefits equally, but how can he let others work in vain? Even the Japanese at the table know nothing...
