Chapter 915 Why is there an extra foot pad?
That night, Lin Ze set up a table in the main hall to express his gratitude to Miyamoto. After all, Miyamoto had contributed a lot to the successful scam of two million this time.
The main hall is magnificent, with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, and the tableware is all brand new palace porcelain. There were quite a lot of this kind of porcelain stored in the Forbidden City warehouse, which were later resold.
Combined with this scene, Miyamoto felt that Lin Ze was even more imposing than before, and his words and deeds were all graceful and elegant.
Lin Ze raised his small wine cup and said, "Come here, Miyamoto, you are the first guest here. Although the dining place has changed, the wine is still Fenjiu, and the relationship is still the same. We were neighbors a few years ago. At that time, I was still a small patrolman, and you relied on Beiyuan for your business. Who would have thought that we would be where we are today?"
Miyamoto stood up to move aside, holding his wine glass and bending over. "It is a great blessing for me to meet Master Lin. I am where I am today because of Master Lin's support. When I first met you, I knew that I would be successful if I followed you. Now it has come true. I have only one thought for Master Lin. I have deep feelings for him and I am willing to repay him with my life."
Miyamoto is indeed a good person to get along with. First of all, he is actually a very focused person. Although he has some little hobbies that are difficult to talk about and is very nice to Mieko, what he values most is his business.
This also means that he is not accurate. What he values should be his career, because he does not particularly care about how much money he makes. What he values is market share, the influence of the company, and his own status.
If it weren't for Lin Ze, he would never have achieved the scale he has today in his life.
For example, as a shareholder of North China Development Corporation, even if the shares are held on behalf of others, Miyamoto is very grateful.
With this identity, he can be on par with the so-called aristocrats and tycoons in the country. Who is nobler than who?
So he was grateful to Lin Ze and respected Lin Ze from the bottom of his heart.
He also understood that gloves could be changed at any time. If Lin Ze was willing, he could definitely support Miyamoto Jiro and Miyamoto Saburo.
So forget about asking him to trick Chen Junyan. Even if he were to go back and break into the Japanese Imperial Palace at night...
That's not out of the question.
"Miyamoto, I'm a clear judge of rewards and punishments. I remember exactly who has contributed to our group. Don't be too reserved. Sharing happiness is not just empty talk for me."
Mieko smiled foolishly and said, "Yes, we should share the happiness together. Miyamoto, come sit down and have a drink."
Miyamoto smiled warmly at Mieko, but Mieko didn't like his fat and big-eared look and rolled her eyes.
Miyamoto became excited instead and kept drinking.
Half an hour later, Mieko was already drunk.
"Master Lin~, look, there's an extra foot pad here~"
...........
The next morning, Lin Ze hurried out to inspect the Coordination Bureau.
Mieko is becoming more and more crazy. She dares to use any tricks now. Even the experienced Lin Ze can't stand it.
When we arrived at the Coordination Bureau, we found Wang Xiaoshou waiting at the door, followed by Xiao Duan.
"Xiaoshou, why are you here if you're not working for the detective squad?"
Wang Xiaoshou was somewhat resentful, "Master Lin, I don't know if you would tell me when you came here, or if I heard about it and rushed here to see you."
Xiao Duan laughed in the back, "That's right, Master Lin, you should at least let us report to you, right?"
Lin Ze kicked him and said, "You are under the jurisdiction of Director Gao. If you have any problems, go to him and report them. If you all behave like this, others will say that I don't know the rules."
Having said that, since they were already there, they simply went to the meeting room of the Coordination Bureau and sat down. What was supposed to be an inspection turned out to be a tea party, especially for some of the older people in the Coordination Bureau, who simply came to reminisce about the past.
At noon, even Gao Shengping came and said he wanted to take Lin Ze out for a drink. There was no choice but for the group to go to Lao Gao's villa again.
While eating and drinking, Niu San'er went out for a while. When he came back, he quietly told Lin Ze two pieces of news: "Jinling can't bear it anymore. No one can fill the two million dollar hole. They have sent people north to negotiate with Zhengjin to find out the whereabouts of the money."
It was impossible to find out where the money went. All the documents showed that the money did go into Zhengjin Bank from a German trading company, but then Chen Junyan withdrew the money from Zhengjin Bank. Because there was not that much cash, Zhengjin Bank had to collect a large amount of gold and bearer promissory notes. For this, Chen Junyan paid a full 60,000 US dollars in handling fees.
"Also, Zhao Qi from the island city was admitted to the hospital claiming to be ill and stopped seeing guests. He must have sensed something and was scared."
Lin Ze was amused. What a smart guy!
It is absolutely impossible to say that Zhao Qi knows any inside information. Given how unbelievable this matter is, no one would believe it even if Lin Ze announced the truth.
But he was still able to rely on his keen political sense to detect that something was wrong, and he retreated bravely, claiming to be sick directly to avoid being used as a tool. This was indeed a great wisdom.
Lin Ze whispered, "Continue to monitor Jinling's movements and gradually release clues."
"Yes!"
"Hey, Shengmin, Shengmin! What are you guys mumbling about? We've already had two drinks. You finally made it to Peking, so let's have a good drink today. After we're done, let's go to the restaurant. I'll treat you!"
Lin Ze raised his glass and said, "Director, I'll drink the wine. I won't go to the restaurant. I finally came back, and I can't even stay at home, let alone stay outside."
Lao Gao came over with a smile and said, "Brother, I know you don't like that..."
Don't slander me! How can I not be good at that? I'm too good! It's just that the quality around me is too high, and there are too many ways to play, which raises the threshold.
"Brother, you have to show me your presence tonight. This is a matter of my reputation. I'm telling you the truth. Wang Mengqun wants to be your disciple and has come to me."
Lin Zeqi said, "Good fellow, my brother Director, you have a wide circle of friends! Are you friends with Director Wang?"
Gao Shengping patted his belly and said proudly, "Shengmin, I don't have any other skills, I just eat and drink all day long. Is it wine that I drink? I drink friendship. I'm not bragging. There are almost no officials in Beiping City who have never had a drink at the same table with me!"
There are people like Lao Gao in later generations, and some of them live well.
"Well, Shengmin, if you have nothing to do, go ahead. To be honest, I agreed to it because I was drunk, and I regretted it later. I didn't want to cause you any trouble, but things got out of hand."
This Wang Mengqun was no other person. Lin Ze had met him before. He was the director of the Industrial Department of the Administrative Committee. At that time, most of his assets were taken away by the North China Development Corporation, and he was very distressed.
"Director, how can I not give you face? We don't have anything to do tonight, so let's go and have a chat."
