Chapter 1516 Mr. Zuoshang, you have no experience, you don’t understand ([Midnight Tide] Alliance Leader’s Update 24)
Chapter 1516 Mr. Zuoshang, you have no knowledge, you don’t understand ([Midnight Tide] Leader’s update 2/4)
Sanami Umetsuzumi glanced at 'Cheng Qianfan', his brows furrowed, and then he continued to look down at the cargo list in his hand.
Then his frown deepened.
The goods list is very detailed.
The first is red wine. There are more than a dozen red wine names listed in rows. Not only that, some red wines also have the place of origin of the red wine in parentheses, which makes Umezu Sagami dazzled.
Then there is the perfume, which is also very exaggerated. There are actually more than a dozen names, and each perfume name is also followed by a place name.
There are also women's leather bags and women's fashions, which are even more diverse, including the material of the bag, the quality of the fabric, and their names in French and English.
After reading the above, when Sanami Umezuzumi saw the men's suits and the simple and straightforward words that appeared at the back, his eyes felt clear.
At the end of the cargo list were grain and cloth. There was no indication of weight or quantity. It was just a simple statement that the value was about 10,000 silver dollars.
Food and cloth worth ten thousand silver dollars?
Umetsuzumi Sagami rubbed his temples. This was not a small amount. That guy Hiromichi Kubota actually confiscated so much grain and cloth.
Finally, when Sanami Umezu's eyes were fixed on the last sentence of the cargo list, his eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out of their sockets.
…
"Two hundred thousand silver dollars!" Umezu Sagami suddenly stood up and looked at 'Cheng Qianfan', "Two hundred thousand silver dollars. This batch of goods is worth two hundred thousand silver dollars?"
Cheng Qianfan looked at Umezu Sagami with an expression of sympathy and gloating. He pointed at the cargo list in Umezu Sagami's hand, meaning that it said so.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Umezu Sagami slapped the cargo list on the coffee table, "This is blackmail, two hundred thousand silver dollars of goods, this is simply a joke."
He angrily said to 'Cheng Qianfan', "You must have known that the warehouse was burned and knew that there was no evidence to prove it, so you deliberately concocted such a cargo list."
"Umetsu Umezu!" Cheng Qianfan was also angry. He slapped the table and said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense."
He looked grim and said, "If Mr. Lieutenant Colonel hadn't come here to tell me that the warehouse was burned down, I wouldn't have known about it at all."
As he spoke, he snorted coldly, "What's more, this cargo list was provided by Peter, so it's even less likely that he would know that the gendarmerie's warehouse was burned down."
Cheng Qianfan sneered, "Of course, isn't Mr. Sagami investigating the fire in the warehouse? Now it seems that it is entirely possible that Peter sent someone to do it. Well, there is no proof, so it is very reasonable."
Sagami Umesumi was choked by the words "Cheng Qianfan". He was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
'Cheng Qianfan' was right. 'Cheng Qianfan' could not have known about the fire in the military police warehouse in advance. When he informed 'Cheng Qianfan' that the goods were burned, he had carefully observed the other party's reaction.
, 'Cheng Qianfan's' reaction was very shocking and cannot be faked. Apparently, he had not received relevant information before.
In addition, as 'Cheng Qianfan' said, the cargo list was obtained by Cheng Qianfan from Pete in the inspection squad. It was even more impossible for Pete to know that the gendarmerie's warehouse was burned down.
As for the claim that the warehouse mentioned by 'Cheng Qianfan' was burned down by Pitt's men for the purpose of blackmailing the gendarmerie, this is even more nonsense.
It is true that the French are greedy, but to say that the French dared to send people to burn down the warehouse of the Imperial Gendarmerie Headquarters is a joke. They do not have the guts.
Umezu Sagami was distraught. He no longer had the patience or energy to look carefully and analyze the goods on the list to see which ones were problematic and which ones were suspicious.
Now all he can think about is 'worth two hundred thousand silver dollars'!
Absolutely not, absolutely cannot admit this cargo list.
This is blackmail!
It's naked blackmail!
…
"Miyazaki-kun, this is blackmail. It is blackmail against the military police and the empire." Umezu Sagami said coldly with a sullen face.
He told Miyazaki Kentaro, "I have interrogated relevant personnel and found out that the quantity of this shipment is not huge and it is impossible to be worth 200,000 silver dollars."
"No, let alone 200,000 silver dollars, this batch of goods is worth at most 10,000 silver dollars." Umezu Sagami snorted and said.
Then he saw Kentaro Miyazaki looking at him with a strange look.
He caught the mocking look in this look, just like the look a Tokyo resident would give to an outsider. This look disgusted him.
"Sashang-kun is a pure soldier. It's understandable if you don't understand these luxuries." Cheng Qianfan sighed and said.
Umezu Sagami suspected that Kentaro Miyazaki's words were a sarcastic comment on him, calling him a country bumpkin.
"The first page of the list, the first line, is Gulani red wine. Gulani is the name of the winery, and the Loire Valley behind it is the name of Gulani's location, which is the place of origin." Cheng Qianfan said, "Gulani
Five cases of red wine.”
He looked at Umezu Sagami, shook his head and said, "This is one of the top red wines in France. It is said that Napoleon III liked this red wine very much. Every bottle of Gulani red wine is top quality."
Seeing Umezu Sagami frowning and thinking, Cheng Qianfan said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Let me use an analogy. A bottle of this top-notch red wine can be exchanged for a machine gun."
…
"Nani?" Sagami Umezuzumi was stunned. Miyazaki Kentaro said so much, he didn't know what winery it was, the place of origin, etc. However, Miyazaki Kentaro said Napoleon III liked this wine very much, so he knew it.
This red wine was extraordinary. Even so, he was shocked when Kentaro Miyazaki said that a bottle of red wine could be exchanged for a machine gun.
"This is because of the war, which has led to an increase in the price of weapons." Cheng Qianfan said.
Then, ignoring Umezu Sagami's expression of shock or disbelief, he continued to introduce the value of some red wine, perfume, women's leather bags, and fashionable clothes.
"Take the leather bag named Alpis, for example. It is made from the most precious silver fox fur in the Alps Mountains, and it comes from the hands of a master of a French leather bag family that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, "It is said that Emperor Napoleon's first queen liked her very much."
"How do you know this?" Sanami Umezu asked in disbelief.
How could red wine, perfume, and women's leather bags be so casually related to the Napoleon family? He felt that he had reason to suspect that these were all lies, just like the imperial warriors who used to like to brag about their ancestors who fought with a certain famous person.
Live the same.
"That's what Peter said." Cheng Qianfan said, and he shrugged, "You know, Napoleon is the pride of the French people, and they will find ways to try to get at their former emperor no matter what they say."
He said to Umesumi Sagami, "Sagami-kun, I know you don't believe it and think I'm deceiving you."
Umezu Sagami just looked at him and said nothing.
"Actually, I also think this is the French bragging and deliberately trying to seduce Napoleon. However, the story has been told too many times, and it has been told for a hundred or two hundred years. They themselves believe it, and so do the nobles, ladies, and ladies.
." Cheng Qianfan said.
"If everyone believes it, then it is really so precious and valuable." He said with a chuckle.
Umezu Sagami snorted, "This is treating a rich man as a fool."
"Mr. Sagami, do you think those nobles and rich people are fools?" Cheng Qianfan asked Umezu Sagami.
Sagami Umezuzumi was silent. He naturally did not think that those nobles and rich people were fools. Those people were the elites of society, and no one was smarter than them.
"Then why do you think they believe that?" Cheng Qianfan asked, without waiting for Umezu Sagami to answer, "Because they are nobles, rich people, and upper-class people. They need this kind of dignity, and they need their food.
, everything you drink, wear, and use exudes nobility and luxury from the inside out, and it is an existence that ordinary people can only look up to throughout their lives."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan pointed to the cargo list in Sago Umezu's hand, sighed and said, "Although from the standpoint of the empire, I also want to say that this batch of goods is not valuable, but -"
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, showing a trace of regret, "These burned goods are indeed very valuable, very valuable."
…
Just as Umezu Sagami was about to speak, Cheng Qianfan stopped him with a gesture. He continued, "The value of these goods is naturally not what I say. Sagami-kun can show the goods list to others, and to merchants in the empire.
Look, they know the value of these goods even better than I do."
"Of course, we need to find a real big trading house, a big empire businessman who really understands the luxurious life of nobles and luxury goods." Cheng Qianfan said, "Otherwise, some bumpkins won't understand."
Although Miyazaki Kentaro's tone was sincere when he said this, and his attitude was pretty good, but I don't know if it was due to psychological factors, but Umezu Sagami always felt that Miyazaki Kentaro was also secretly mocking him for being a country bumpkin.
Buggy duck down!
He secretly hates you, you are just a civilian from Fukushima!
"I will naturally take it back and ask someone to evaluate the goods." Umezuzumi Sagami said coldly, "No one can even think of blackmailing the empire."
"No one dares to blackmail the empire." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He looked at Umezu Sagami and said, "This batch of goods was seized by the empire in the name of prohibited materials. In this case, the empire only needs to kill this batch of goods.
It’s just contraband.”
Umezu Sagami fell silent.
Even if this batch of goods belongs to other wealthy people, or even some Chinese officials who have defected to the empire, the military police can 'confuse right and wrong' and label this batch of goods as contraband; even if this batch of goods belongs to Kentaro Miyazaki,
Among our own people, the Military Police Headquarters also has ways to put pressure on Kentaro Miyazaki.
However, this batch of goods has nothing to do with Miyazaki Kentaro. The goods belong to the private business of Peter, the squad leader of the French Concession patrol room.
This is more difficult to do.
Although faced with the empire's tough attitude and deterrence, the French have been giving in.
However, Sagami Umesumi is very aware of the bad nature of people. The French may give in on official matters, but when personal interests are violated, this Pete will definitely explode with unprecedented toughness. This matter is not so easy to solve.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Peter is the squad leader of the investigation team of the Political Department of the French Concession. He can be said to be a powerful figure in the Political Department. Once Peter and the Empire completely fall out, let alone whether it will further worsen the relationship between the French Concession authorities and the Empire.
To put it simply, the empire's actions in the French Concession will be difficult every step of the way.
…
"Miyazaki-kun, please stop being angry and joking." Sanami Umezuzumi said with a cold snort, "The impact of this matter will be very bad. As a member of the empire, you have an obligation to help us find a way and properly solve it."
This matter."
"What to solve?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "Investigating the warehouse fire case? I'm already trying my best to cooperate with Mr. Sasami. You asked for a cargo list, so I'll get it to you right away."
Hearing this, Umezu Sagami felt even more irritated and angry. He couldn't see that Kentaro Miyazaki was talking about him indifferently. This guy clearly knew what he was referring to.
At the same time, Miyazaki Kentaro's words also reminded him that the purpose of his coming here was to question 'Cheng Qianfan' and ask for the cargo list, and the ultimate purpose was to investigate the fire in the warehouse.
Now he was confused and confused by this "list of goods worth 200,000 silver dollars". Thinking of this, it made Umezu Sagami even more irritable.
"Miyazaki-kun, please face your identity." Umezu Sagami said with a gloomy face, "You understand what I mean. I am asking you about the so-called goods worth two hundred thousand silver dollars that were burned.
, how should it be properly disposed of?”
His eyes were fixed on 'Cheng Qianfan', "Pete is your business partner and friend. You know and are familiar with him best. You have an obligation to help the empire persuade Peter to give up..."
"What are you giving up? Give up the claim for goods worth 200,000 yuan?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Sanami Umezuzumi with a look that was partly annoyed, and partly sarcastic, partly shocked, and partly irritated. "I'm both.
As I said, this batch of goods comes from Pete's own Magnon firm."
He said irritably, "That greedy guy, precisely because this is a batch of top-notch luxury goods, he knows how valuable and in demand this batch of goods is, so he left me alone and wanted to eat alone."
Cheng Qianfan sneered, "So, Mr. Sagami, please ask, in this case, how can I persuade Peter to give up the interests worth 200,000 silver dollars? Why? Should I put a gun to Peter's head and tell him about the Empire of Japan?
If you tell him to shut up, will he be obedient?"
Umezu Sagami was silent. He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki who was speaking sarcastically and a little angry. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Because Kentaro Miyazaki was right, this was the product of Peter leaving his partner Cheng Qianfan to eat alone. This person's greed is obvious, how could he give up this huge profit so easily?
…
"Sagami-kun, you should feel lucky." Cheng Qianfan looked at Umezu Sagami and said suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Sanami Umezuzumi frowned. He didn't know what Kentaro Miyazaki meant by his words. He was angry in his heart. He suspected that Kentaro Miyazaki was going to make some sarcastic remarks again.
"You have to be lucky that Peter doesn't know yet that the goods were burned."
"You have to be lucky that you managed to get the inventory before Peter learned that the goods were burned."
"Otherwise, if Pete knew in advance that his goods would be burned." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "Believe it or not, Pete would dare to directly value this batch of goods at 400,000 silver dollars, or even higher!"
"How dare he!" Umezu Sagami was furious, "No one can even think of blackmailing the empire."
"Mr. Zuoshang, you have no experience, so you don't understand." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "There is a saying in the upper class that luxury goods are priceless."
Umezu Sagami looked at Kentaro Miyazaki. He really didn't understand luxury goods. He only knew that he really, really wanted to hit someone right now.
