This morning, after Li Wei and Fang Xueming had breakfast, they did not go to You'an Trading House, but came to the Shanghai Pier.
Because according to the news Levi received, Kondo Yoshinori and his wife will return to Shanghai today.
Kondo Yoshinori had been away from Shanghai for more than two months. At that time, he received a message from home that Kondo Yoshinori's brother was getting married, so he asked him to go back.
In this regard, Yoshinori Kondo naturally did not hesitate at all and returned to Japan directly with Keiko Mishiro.
Although it was said that he was kicked out of the house because of his "marriage", for anyone, family is their roots, especially for noble children like Kondo Yoshinori, who have basically been kicked out of their homes since childhood.
The family instills the idea of "family", so they will basically fight for the prosperity of the family throughout their lives and will never change.
It's just that the Kondo family made a small mistake with Kondo Yoshinori. No one knew that he would actually fall out with the family for the sake of Keiko.
In the end, the Kondo family had no choice but to deal with it in order to save their own face, and "sent" Kondo Yi to China.
But after Yoshinori Kondo arrived in China, he seemed to be blessed with good fortune in an instant. Not to mention other things, just the fact that he and Li Wei were partnering in business made the Kondo family look at him with admiration.
Even Yoshinori Kondo has been able to bring out the abilities of the direct descendants of the Kondo family since he entered into business partnership with Levi.
Using the family's influence and money to open the way, in just two years, Kondo Yoshinori gathered a large number of young officers from the Japanese military around him.
Although these people's current positions are not high, their relationships behind them are many times over. Although these people's families are not as influential as the Kondo family, they have accumulated a lot of soil and become prosperous. Who dares to say
What is the future for this group of people?
In addition to uniting this group of officers, Kondo Yoshinori also takes great care of the Kondo family's tribe and descendants in China, so Kondo Yoshinori's reputation is very good in China.
It is precisely for these reasons that this time the Kondo family took advantage of the fact that Kondo Yoshinori's brother was getting married and sent a message to Kondo Yoshinori asking him to take his wife back to the family.
After all, for any family, the family will always value outstanding children, let alone direct children of a family like Kondo Yoshinori!
You must know that Kondo Yoshinori's father is the patriarch of the Kondo family, and Kondo Yoshinori's mother is also the head of the family. His eldest brother is now the next patriarch of the Kondo family. As for his second brother, he is also a man of great influence, and
The relationship between the three brothers has always been very good.
Therefore, Kondo Yoshinori was "assigned" to China just to save the face of the family who was planning to "marry" Kondo Yoshinori. But now more than two years have passed, and Kondo Yoshinori has been "assigned" to China for two years.
.
If anyone still takes this matter as an excuse, do they really think that the Kondo family is so easy to talk to?
Levi also very much agreed with Kondo Yoshinori's return home. After all, Levi also understood that the reason why he had been safe and sound until now, and even the smuggling business was booming, was because he was close to Kondo Yoshinori.
s help.
Although he and Kondo Yoshinori complement each other, in any case, he uses Kondo Yoshinori more, and the better Kondo Yoshinori is, the better his and others' business will be.
Therefore, when Yoshinori Kondo returned home, Li Wei also made great efforts and prepared rich gifts for everyone in Yoshinori Kondo's family.
Even when Li Wei heard Kondo Yoshinori say that his father liked Chinese cultural relics, Li Wei directly took out some of the treasures he had obtained from the old eunuch Fan Xien and asked Kondo Yoshinori to bring them to his father.
.
You know, Fan Xien is a staff member who came from the palace, so the things in his hands are all treasures.
In the two months since Kondo Yoshinori left Shanghai, Levi and he often communicated via telegrams. Judging from the telegrams, the results of Kondo Yoshinori's return home this time were quite good, and he also received a lot of support from his family.
So this time Kondo Yoshinori comes back, he will naturally come to pick him up.
Of course, in addition to approaching Yoshinori Kondo, there are some things that Li Wei also wants to talk to Yoshinori Kondo. It would be better to talk about some recent situations in Shanghai, the business situation of Youan Trading House and the counterfeit banknotes.
Because this time Kondo Yoshinori returned, except for Li Wei, no one else was informed, so the only people who came to greet Kondo Yoshinori were Li Wei and Fang Xueming.
Of course, there are still many people going to Shanghai via this ferry, so there are more people waiting on the pier at this time.
It was precisely because of this that after arriving at the pier, for safety reasons, Levi did not get out of the car, but waited in the car.
After all, there is still almost an hour before the ship arrives!
Of course, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Fang Xueming got out of the car with his bodyguards, and then escorted Li Wei.
………………
On the ship.
Kondo Yoshinori and Mishiro Keiko also walked out of the cabin and came to the plywood of the ship. Looking at the sea, both of them felt a little good.
"We are finally back." Kondo Yoshinori looked at Keiko Mishiro and said with a smile.
"Yes, I've been away from Shanghai for more than two months, and I still miss it." Keiko Mishiro nodded slightly after hearing Kondo Yoshinori's words.
To this, Kondo Yoshinori also nodded in agreement. Even though he returned to the Kondo family this time, the Kondo family did not make things difficult for him, and everyone was also caring about him.
But relatively speaking, he still likes the unrestrained life in Shanghai.
And in the family, the higher the status of each person, the greater the responsibility he needs to bear. So when he went back this time, his father and eldest brother were discussing with him and asking him if he was willing to return to the base camp.
, and then the family will arrange a path for him and support him along the way.
Of course, in this case, when you can help the family, you will naturally contribute to the family.
However, after thinking about it for a few days, Kondo Yoshinori rejected his father's proposal.
If this had happened a few years ago, he would have definitely agreed, but as he came to China and Shanghai, and saw many people and things, his thoughts became somewhat different.
