Chapter 314

Suzuki Saburo needed an attitude from Su Chunjun, a clear attitude.

To put it bluntly, he wanted Su Chunjun to be obedient to the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

The softness in the beginning was just a knock on the door. Now he is getting tough, but it’s just a means to an end. As long as they could achieve their goal, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, represented by Saburo Suzuki, could also change their attitude towards So Chunjun and become his “best Japanese friend”.

Suzuki Saburo then said to Su Chunjun, “I know that what our Chinese friends need most now is food, and I can guarantee that as long as everything goes well, I can supply 1,000 tons of flour and 1,000 tons of rice to the city.

He said heavily, “Every month, I guarantee that every month a ship will dock and deliver these precious grains.”

Not to say that Su Chunjun was moved, Zhu Yuyan was immediately moved, and immediately said, “Mr. Suzuki, as long as there is grain for sale on the streets of Japan, all the people in the city will come. It doesn’t even have to be expensive goods like rice and white flour, corn and potatoes will do!”

There is a food shortage all over the world now, but it’s not just China, people all over the world don’t have enough to eat.

Prof. Dai said that the British food control has long been there, when he studied abroad only potatoes to eat. It seems that the potato plot of the British people was formed during the war because of the food shortage.

British bricklayers have said that potatoes and bread taste the same, and there is no difference in nutritional content, so people should stop eating bread and just use potatoes to fulfill their nutritional needs.

Except potatoes can’t be used to make bread.

Zhu Yuyan ate too much U.S.-made munitions canned goods, which contain the most corn and potatoes.

But thanks to the addition of food flavorings, those seemingly unknown ingredients in the paste have a hint of meat flavor, which can make people deceive their mouths and brains, so that people think that there is really meat in it, or that the broth is really a meat stew, and not a potato starch paste with food flavorings and oil to mix it up.

The whole world is at war, and the only ones who can produce safely are the colonies.

Zhu Yuyan felt that she couldn’t ask for too much at this time. Rice and white flour were not enough for the rich to enjoy, but the common people still had to have enough to eat.

She posed to Suzuki Saburo and said, “I wonder if Mr. Suzuki has any relationship with American businessmen? I think that there is no war over there in America, and the black slaves are hardworking, so food must be cheap and plentiful in America.”

Suzuki Saburo might as well wish that Zhu Er Miss actually wanted American goods even though she was talking business with him, he smiled and said, “Could it be that Yan Ji wants to make another American street?”

Zhu Yuyan shook her head and said in a lowered voice, “I don’t want an American street, but why don’t I want those cheap goods? As long as they are rebranded, who knows where they came from?”

Suzuki Saburo laughed out loud and complimented, “Yan Ji is really a born businessman, it’s just a pity that the Zhu family has already lost, or else Yan Ji would have been able to revitalize the family business by recruiting a son-in-law.”

Have to say, so many Japanese teachers coaxed Zhu Yuyan to let her heart to Japan, all not as Suzuki Saburo will be already to others.

Because Zhu Yuyan really has a little heart.

-Provided that there really is a Zhu family for her to inherit.

Because the Japanese adoption of children is very common, so if the Japanese family has a property, and only daughter, that son-in-law is also very normal.

Zhu Yuyan pretended to sigh a couple of times, and then said, “Our hometown does not talk about this”.

Suzuki Saburo sighed twice more before giving up.

Although he did not say whether to come in from the United States cheap corn potatoes into Japanese packaging as Japanese goods, but Zhu Yuyan think as long as the persuasion continues, may not be unable to let Suzuki Saburo heart.

Because of the limited size of the Japanese mainland, the second son of those Japanese students have said that their families but have a little bit of industry, whether it is a store or land, almost all have been taken away, almost all the Japanese farmers have been reduced to hire farmers and tenants.

Japan was now like a huge war machine.

But for the merchants, making money was the most important thing. He would not have insisted on selling only domestic products if it was cheaper to buy food from the United States.

Soo Jun Jun did not hesitate for long before he asked Suzuki Saburo to come aside for a “detailed discussion”.

Hirata Yoshiko immediately invited Zhu Yuyan to go out with her at Suzuki Saburo’s signal.

Only then did Su Chunjun hear Suzuki Saburo’s real request.

He poured a glass of wine for Suzuki Saburo and one for himself.

He said, “If I can have two thousand tons of grain every month, then I can deliver.”

Suzuki Saburo said, “We Japanese make friends in good faith.”

Su Chunjun: “Then what can I do for Saburo?”

The peace of the city was certainly important, but was Saburo Suzuki here to do charity?

From the charity bazaar in the beginning to the current night market on the road to the Japanese street mentioned by Zhu Yuyan, the Suzuki family could actually make not much money in this, one could even say very little.

Because the Suzuki family’s pillar industry is steel manufacturing.

It is for the Japanese army to manufacture tanks, guns, cannons, airplanes, bombs and other military items.

Otherwise can anyone be the president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce?

Can anyone follow the Japanese army to China?

Just like Japanese students at the university, these businessmen came to China with a mission.

Suzuki Saburo was the third son in his family and a half-abandoned, exiled son.

He lamented to Su Chunjun, “The family would not allow me to meddle in the most important property of the family. Su Sang, I can only do jobs that the family doesn’t want.”

Su Chunjun quietly listened to Suzuki Saburo.

After Suzuki Saburo finished selling his misery, he said, “I want to start a factory. Need you to find me enough workers.”

The Japanese wanted to recruit workers now, and although he could ask Japanese soldiers to help, Suzuki Saburo did not quite want his company to get too deeply involved with the Japanese army. To put it bluntly, he wanted every penny he earned to go to himself, and if that wasn’t possible, then at least half of it should go to him.

He didn’t want to contribute it all to the Emperor and the military.

That’s why he didn’t seek the help of the Japanese army to open a factory, but sought the help of Su Chunjun.

Su Chunjun asked, “What is it to build?”

Suzuki Saburo smiled and said, “It’s small stuff. Tinplate.”

The biggest use of tinplate was to make tin cans.

The demand for canned goods was now huge and growing by the day.

Because of the war, transportation and preservation of food was a big problem. Canned goods just became popular all of a sudden. Not only did the military need a large amount of canned food, ordinary people would also consume a large amount of canned food.

Su Chunjun: “Then I would like to wish Mr. Suzuki good luck and prosperity.”

Suzuki Saburo spoke Chinese at this time, and he shook Su Chunjun’s hand and said, “Let’s get rich together.”

Su Chunjun sent Suzuki Saburo away and went to report to Chiang.

Chiang: “He wants to open a factory? What is he going to build?”

Su Chunjun: “He said tinplate.”

Not believing this, Chiang VIP instructed Su Chunjun and Secretary Zhao, “Be sure to keep a close watch on the Japanese factories to see if they are building cannons here.”

Mr. Su Chunjun and Mr. Zhao replied in unison, “Yes!” .

At this point, the wedding was over.

Su Chunjun and Secretary Zhao personally went to see off Mr. Chiang.

Mr. Jiang instructed Secretary Zhao to stay in the car and “help Su to see off the guests”.

Secretary Zhao had to continue to work hard, standing together with Su Chunjun to send off the guests, speaking until his mouth was dry and his face was stiff from smiling.

Su Chunjun personally held tea for Secretary Zhao and said with a smile, “Big Brother Zhao, it’s really hard for you today. When Brother Zhao has a wedding some other day, I will definitely come and help.”

Secretary Zhao refused to drink the tea he gave him and left with a sneer.

The two seemed to be getting on bad terms before Essential Jiang even left.

Su Chunjun didn’t care much and sent Secretary Zhao away before going back to see Miss Zhu Er.

Zhu Er Miss had already changed her clothes and was waiting for him with Ms. Zhu. When she saw him come in, Zhu Er Miss yawned and said, “You’re back, so can we go now?”

Su Chunjun took a look to the left and right without seeing Zhang Ma, and said, “We can leave, everyone has left. Where is Zhang Ma?”

Zhu Er Miss stood up to put on her jacket and said, “Zhang Ma went back to Zhu Family House first. It’s a good idea for Mom and Zhang Ma to sleep at home tonight, they’re too tired, so I won’t let them toss and turn anymore, and I’ll let Mom and Zhang Ma go back over to the French Concession tomorrow.”

Su Chunjun was helping Ms. Zhu put on her jacket, when she heard this, she froze and turned around to see Ms. Zhu’s smiling but not laughing look.

Ms. Zhu smiled and said, “Oh no, it’s too late today, okay? Chunjun.”

Su Chunjun, inexplicably feeling a chill at the back of his neck, quickly smiled and said, “Yes, of course.”

Walking out of the Peace Hotel, it was already dark outside.

Chen driver stood beside the car and waited, saw Zhu Er Miss and Mr. Su come over and hurriedly opened the door, did not want to, Mr. Su first respectfully invited Zhu Er Miss to get on the car, and then invited Ms. Zhu to get on the car, he turned around and sat on the passenger side.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen did not say a word on the way back, not daring to say a word. Only when he drove to the Zhu family building did he say, “Mr. and Mrs. Su, take care.”

When Ms. Zhu got out of the car, she didn’t react to this sentence, but Ms. Zhu gave her a hand, and only then did she come back to her senses, and said “Thank you” to Driver Chen. When she ran into the house, she began to laugh in the foyer.

Zhu Er Miss took off her coat in the midst of the staff and the in-laws, and said in a circle, “Oh, I’ve become Mrs. Su! Mrs. Su!”

The new Mrs. Su giggled, took off her coat and was about to pull Mr. Su to speak, but was pulled upstairs by Ms. Zhu: “Don’t you hurry to wash this hair? You don’t feel bad ah, okay, talk later, I let Zhang Ma come back first, the water should be hot, go take a bath first.”

Mr. Su followed with the soul as if he was leading him up the stairs and followed him into the house, it was only when Mrs. Su entered the bathroom that he took Mrs. Su’s jacket and said, “Yan Yan this is drinking?”

Ms. Zhu gave him a blank look without any good manners, “I drank two cups. Why did you bring up this jacket? Quickly put it down. There is a bathroom in the bedroom over there, you go there to wash it. I asked Zhang Ma to cook noodles, do you want to eat a bowl of noodles first?”

Su Chunjun was really hungry. He had been around the banquet all day, drinking a lot of wine, and hadn’t had a few bites of a proper meal.

Zhang Ma came up with the finished yellow fish noodles and put them in front of him, saying lovingly, “Eat, this is what your mom asked me to make for you.”

Ms. Zhu: “Eat it, and wash it afterwards.”

Su Chunjun held a chopstick of noodles, his eyes swelled from the heat, he swallowed the noodles with a big mouthful, ate a bowl in two bites, and ate three bowls in a row before he was full.

Zhang Ma: “I’ve made more, there’s more in the pot, are you still eating?”

Su Chunjun was already full, but he still wanted to eat, the family’s food is delicious.

Ms. Zhu scolded, “What if you eat too much? Don’t eat any more. Rest for a moment before you take a bath, I’ll have someone put water on you first.”

After waiting for a moment, Su Chunjun went to the other bathroom to take a bath.

After soaking and coming back, Zhu Er Miss’s eyes were misty, yawning heaven and earth to discuss with the newly minted Mr. Su: “I’m so tired and sleepy …… Why don’t we forget about it for tonight. You go sleep over there, I’ll sleep over here.”

Although very tired, but still very energetic, Su Chunjun: “……”

But Zhu Er Miss brightly asked for a reprieve, and with Ms. Zhu and Zhang Ma on the sidelines, Su Chunjun did not dare to force his way in any case, so he had to take one step and three turns back and go out.

When he went out, Ms. Zhu Er’s eyes glowed, and she jumped towards the bed like a monkey out of the mountain.

To be honest, she is indeed tired, but not so tired that she can’t do anything.

And there was a little bit of curiosity in her heart ah.

But just now Ms. Zhu lectured bluntly that the first time would hurt.

Ms. Zhu was expressionless and in a classroom stance, “It might hurt the first ten times.”

“You probably won’t feel very good for a year or less.”

“It all depends on the man’s skill and whether he’s gentle or not.”

Miss Zhu Er thought Mr. Su must be gentle, but she didn’t know if he was skilled or not.

She certainly didn’t want him to be too skilled. But if it’s too bad, it’s also very difficult for people.

Ms. Zhu said icily, “Anyway, whenever you feel uncomfortable, kick him away immediately.”

So, after the lesson, Mrs. Su successfully …… decided to abstain for a day first.
