Hearing someone talking behind him, Ding Wei turned around and saw a guy wearing a suit and a top hat. He even pretended to be holding a gentleman's cane in his hand.
"Who are you?" Ding Wei frowned slightly.
Seeing him speaking Japanese, Ding Wei also spoke Japanese.
When Ma Han and others saw this, they immediately stood in front of Ding Wei.
"Hey, who are you? Stay away from my master!" Mahan said coldly.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. I just heard that you want to do business and wanted to ask if you need help." Ichiro Tanaka handed over a business card.
Mahan reached out and took the business card and handed it to Ding Wei.
Ding Wei glanced at the business card casually. It said Yoshida Co., Ltd. and his name, Ichiro Tanaka.
"Our Yoshida Club is mainly engaged in the business of renting out shops and some other businesses. I wonder if you are interested in knowing more about it." Tanaka Ichiro said respectfully.
"Your Excellency is coming here for the first time, and you are not familiar with it. Why don't you let me be your guide and introduce it to you?"
Tanaka Ichiro did not dare to look directly at Ding Wei.
The guy in front of me speaks with a pure Kyoto accent, has a dignified appearance, and his clothes are made of expensive materials. Especially the lady beside him is also very beautiful.
The bodyguards around him have obviously received military training. Combined with various circumstances, he must not be an ordinary Japanese.
"No problem!" Ding Wei said with a smile: "In that case, it's all thanks to Mr. Tanaka."
Hearing this, Tanaka Ichiro burst out with joy. The man in front of him had a distinguished status. If he could please him, just a commission from a business deal would be enough for him to live happily for a long time.
"Sir, it's already noon, why don't we find a restaurant to sit down?" Tanaka Ichiro asked tentatively.
"It looks like you are coming to Shandong for the first time. Shandong cuisine is famous throughout China. How about I take you to taste the authentic Shandong cuisine?"
"Lu Cai?" Ding Wei looked at Qiu Chan and asked, "Madam, what do you say? Do you have any opinions?"
"I have no objection." Qiu Chan shook her head and said with a smile.
"Okay." Ding Wei nodded: "I happen to be hungry too. Since my wife is willing, let's have lunch together!"
"Madam, your wife loves you very much." Tanaka Ichiro looked at Qiu Chan and said with a smile.
Qiu Chan blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.
Tanaka Ichiro didn't care, he just thought that the couple had a good relationship.
Ding Wei gave Ma Han a look from behind.
Mahan understood immediately and ran away quickly.
"Your Excellency, please come this way!" Tanaka Ichiro led the way and led everyone to a restaurant.
The restaurant owner seemed to know Ichiro Tanaka and said hello to him upon meeting him.
Tanaka Ichiro chose a private room, and several people sat in the room.
"Sir, I wonder what you want to eat?" Tanaka Ichiro asked.
"I am a guest today. It depends on how Mr. Tanaka entertains us!" Ding Wei said with a smile.
"Hai!" Tanaka Ichiro responded and said to the waiter at the door: "Bring over all your signature dishes. This is my distinguished guest. You must treat him with all your heart!"
With that said, Tanaka Ichiro took out a few pieces of ocean from his arms and threw them to the waiter.
"Understood, Taijun." The waiter happily took Dayang and ran out quickly.
"Sir, believe me, the food here is very good." Tanaka Ichiro said intoxicatedly: "When you take the first bite, you will definitely think that there is really delicious food in the world."
Tanaka Ichiro's face was full of aftertaste: "I heard that the chef in this restaurant is the former royal chef of the imperial palace. We can be regarded as emperors for once!"
When Ding Wei heard this, he laughed twice.
During the period, Ichiro Tanaka introduced Yoshida Club and talked about some cases he had closed.
While he was talking, Ma Han quickly ran into the room and whispered a few words in Ding Wei's ear.
After listening, Ding Wei smiled even more on his face.
Mahan did not do anything else when he left, but went to check on Ichiro Tanaka.
In the end, there was no problem. Yoshida Club does exist and is not small in scale. Tanaka Ichiro is also very famous within the club because his marketing ability is really good.
So far there are no problems.
Ding Wei waved his hand casually, and Ma Han immediately stood up at the door.
After talking about other things for a while, Tanaka Ichiro said respectfully: "I don't know what to call you...".
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Minamoto Kotaro."
"It turns out..." Tanaka Ichiro handed over his hand. Just halfway through his words, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at Ding Wei up and down.
"Could it be that your Excellency..."
Tanaka Ichiro suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. He didn't realize it, but his tone of voice became much more respectful.
"My surname is Yuan..." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Genji.
Hearing this surname, Tanaka Ichiro was shocked and looked at Ding Wei in surprise.
"Ah, could it be that your Excellency is..." Tanaka Ichiro guessed in his heart.
"Shh..." Ding Wei smiled mysteriously: "You just need to know about this. Don't talk about it casually."
"Ah, I understand, I understand!" Tanaka Ichiro stood up hurriedly, bending his waist at 90 degrees: "Sir, ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't..."
"It's okay, Mr. Tanaka, this has passed." Ding Wei said with a smile: "You don't have to be too reserved. Just sit down and have dinner with me. People around me are always like this. There is no one who can be called a friend.
"
"Your Excellency has a distinguished status, how can I be your friend!" Tanaka Ichiro did not dare to stand up.
Seeing Tanaka Ichiro's appearance, Qiu Chan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Ding Wei in surprise, wondering why Ding Wei just said his last name and the Japanese was so respectful.
"What did you do?" Qiu Chan said.
Sam and others also looked surprised. His expression was obviously caused by meeting someone with a more noble status.
This is what the Japanese have to do with their urine.
Others around the table had questions on their minds.
Ding Wei made a silent gesture.
"This is an order, get up!" Ding Wei slammed the table hard and said dissatisfied: "Mr. Tanaka, if you do this again, then I will be angry!"
"Hai!"
After hearing what Ding Wei said, Tanaka Ichiro dared to stand up and looked at Ding Wei with eyes full of respect.
Genji.
What an ancient surname, with ancestry that can be traced back to the royal family a thousand years ago!
Although it is somewhat in decline now, it is still one of Japan's well-deserved aristocratic families, secretly controlling many industries, and the other nobles are not worthy of carrying his shoes.
"But you..."
After thinking about it for a while, Tanaka Ichiro felt something was wrong and asked doubtfully: "But why haven't I heard of you? I once served people from the Genji family..."
Ding Wei said helplessly: "I am the illegitimate son of my father Guang Hengqo. No one knows my identity except him and the people who take care of me."
Hearing the name Minamoto Mitsuhiro, Tanaka Ichiro's heart was lifted, and he immediately believed most of Ding Wei's words.
No one would pretend to be an illegitimate child even if they wanted to.
When Ichiro Tanaka was doing business in Japan, he attended a banquet with the president of the company, and the guests he entertained were direct members of the Genji family.
If Ding Wei pretends to be someone else from the Genji family, Ichiro Tanaka will definitely notice something is wrong.
Ding Wei also considered the possibility of being exposed, so it was safest to pretend to be an illegitimate child. Anyway, no fool would really go to the Genji family to ask about the illegitimate child.
No matter what era, the topic of illegitimate children is very sensitive and no one is willing to bring it up.
If anyone really dared to ask, they would probably have to be prepared to reincarnate. It was because they were sure of this that they dared to pretend.
Ding Wei knows the Yuan family very well. If you ask him anything, Ding Wei can answer it fluently and is not afraid of revealing his secrets.
Tanaka Ichiro looked at Ding Wei carefully and praised: "Your Excellency is indeed somewhat similar to your father. He has the same dignified appearance."
Ding Wei smiled and said with some disappointment: "Unfortunately, I am just an illegitimate child. Although my family does not exclude me, they always hide my existence."
After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "You must keep this matter strictly confidential from me. Currently you are the only one who knows about it. If you dare to leak it..."
Ding Wei snorted coldly and said: "I believe you also know the methods of the Yuan family. We, the people in the military department, dare not buy it!"
"I understand, I understand!" Tanaka Ichiro looked like a slave: "I will strictly keep your identity secret and will not let others know!"
"Mr. Tanaka seems to be responsible for the leasing of shops?" Ding Wei asked with a calmer expression.
Ding Wei didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the topic.
Tanaka Ichiro said: "Yes, sir, are you interested? I know many people who can help you open up many paths."
"I want to make a career this time and prove it to my family!" Ding Wei said solemnly: "Tanaka-kun, since I have met you, in Chinese terms, we are very destined.
I hope you won’t disappoint me, as long as you are willing to do things for me, I will never treat you badly.”
"Hai!" Tanaka Ichiro said: "My subordinates will always be at your service. As long as it is your request, I will do my best to complete it!"
Ding Wei smiled and nodded: "Very good, I just need a place to build a factory and do some trading business.
I don’t know if you have any connections in this area. If you do, you can introduce it to me. Money is not an issue and I won’t let your efforts go in vain.”
"Factory, trade?" Hearing this, Tanaka Ichiro shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I advise you not to do it."
"Why?" Ding Wei asked.
Tanaka Ichiro said: "These things are too difficult. Important ports have long been controlled by other companies, and they will never allow anyone to interfere in this matter.
The Black Dragon Society is also involved in these ports and military headquarters, and the relationship is complicated, and it seems that your family's business is involved..."
"I think you misunderstood me." Ding Wei said with a smile: "What I mean is very simple, that is to have a trading place of your own."
After a pause, Ding Wei slammed the table and said, "To put it bluntly, I want to make some money for myself. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Making money?" Tanaka Ichiro was stunned.
Ding Weidao: "Yes, it's about making money. You know, I don't need a port of my own. I just want an absolutely safe way to do my business."
Tanaka Ichiro suddenly understood and immediately understood: "Sir, I understand what you mean. Do you want to do some import and export business?"
When talking about import and export, Tanaka Ichiro emphasized these words specially.
"These are my friends. They are from Germany and are very interested in these businesses." Ding Wei said with a smile: "Don't tell me, the port business is very clean."
To put it bluntly, it is smuggling. Ding Wei wants to open a smuggling route of his own and be responsible for transporting some materials.
Tanaka Ichiro smiled.
Ding Wei continued: "I came here just for this matter. My identity is sensitive. Although my father loves me, I also have to consider my future."
Tanaka Ichiro understood what Ding Wei meant: "I understand what you mean."
There are countless search ships docking at the port here every day, and many people from big families do secret business, smuggling some rare items to make money.
This kind of thing is not unusual. In fact, many of the shops rented by Tanaka Ichiro were engaged in smuggling business, but they had to have a shop as a cover.
Tanaka Ichiro did not ask Ding Wei what he wanted to transport, because he knew very well that even if he asked, there would be no results.
On the contrary, it will cause some unnecessary trouble. In this matter, the less you know, the safer you will be.
"Very good, I believe you are a smart guy." Ding Wei said with satisfaction: "If you do well, our cooperation will continue, and the benefits will be indispensable to you."
With Japan as your cover, things will go more smoothly!
"The Yoshida Club has several transport ships, and they usually transport a lot of materials." Tanaka Ichiro thought for a while and said: "We usually transport some things from other families. If you don't worry, leave this matter to me.
Got it!"
"No problem." Ding Wei said with a smile: "This is all your hard work."
"It's not hard work, it's simply an honor for me to serve you!" Tanaka Ichiro said excitedly.
He could feel that this was his opportunity, and if he could seize it, he could soar into the sky.
"What about the store?" Ding Wei asked: "If we do it today, how long will it take to get it all done?"
After a pause, Ding Wei pondered: "I don't want this shop to have anything to do with me, do you understand?"
"Hai!" Tanaka Ichiro responded: "I understand, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will hand over the documents to you tomorrow morning.
Although this store belongs to others, the ultimate beneficiary is definitely you!"
Ichiro Tanaka has also encountered this kind of strange request, so it is not surprising that some black industries are always not good for him.
"Very good!" Ding Wei said with a smile: "If you do this, I won't treat you badly."
While talking, Ding Wei took out a purse and threw it to Tanaka Ichiro: "Tanaka-kun, this is the deposit for the store, and the rest will be regarded as your hard work!"
Tanaka Ichiro knew as soon as he touched it that what was in this purse was a gold bar, and it was also a large yellow croaker. Even if he paid the maximum proportion, there would be a lot of surplus.
"No problem, don't worry, sir, I will help you handle this matter and will arrange the best shop for you!" Tanaka Ichiro said respectfully.
Money can make a fool of himself. After Ichiro Tanaka got the money, he sat for a while and then left.
He said that he would choose a shop for Ding Wei, and before leaving, he used the restaurant's phone number to arrange the best hotel for Ding Wei and his party, obviously treating Ding Wei as a distinguished guest.
It wasn't until Ichiro Tanaka left that Qiu Chan asked: "Ding Wei, what happened just now? Why is that Japanese so afraid of you and respects you so much?"
