Chapter 1077 All of this was brought about by Lin Jun
The next morning, before dawn, Gross hurriedly found Lin Ze.
He proposed a deal involving $100,000 worth of gold in exchange for intelligence, promising to deliver the gold in Tianjin in a lump sum.
Finally, he pleaded, "For such a large transaction, the gold must have to be sourced and transported from Germany, or exchanged through foreign firms in Shanghai. It would take time to secretly and safely transport it to Tianjin. Look at the intelligence..."
Lin Ze understood this perfectly. Gross and his backers wouldn't renege on their promises. Compared to this kind of intelligence with extremely high strategic value, they would pay up to a million dollars, let alone ten thousand dollars!
The Germans are now feeling unprecedented pressure, and many high-ranking officers can see their decline on the battlefield of Mochte, where defeat seems inevitable.
But it is precisely at times like these that they are most eager to find a chance to turn the tide.
"No problem, Lao Ge. We're like brothers, how could I not trust you? Come on, let's go to the study. I'll show you something."
Gross, like a child eagerly awaiting candy, excitedly followed Lin Ze to the study.
Lin Ze took out the document No. 42, which Wang Mengqun had recounted. Gross glanced at it a few times and broke out in a sweat.
"Mr. Lin, please forgive my rudeness, but I must return to Tianjin immediately!"
"Go ahead, go ahead, do you need me to arrange a car to take you?"
"Thank you for your kindness. I brought a car with me, Mr. Lin. If you have any similar intelligence in the future, please contact me immediately. The Empire is not short of money!"
"Easy to say, easy to say."
After seeing Gross off, Lin Ze resumed his leisurely life.
The Americans definitely want this information too, but let's wait until we get back to Tianjin to talk to Dominic.
Over the next few days, Lin Ze resumed his leisurely life.
In the morning, I first went to Dongbianmen for a stroll and had some breakfast.
After a day or two, the breakfast stalls went crazy, setting up earlier and earlier, even secretly moving their stalls outside, hoping to get Master Lin to have a meal there. It was only thanks to the Dongbianmen Patrol Station's efforts to maintain order that chaos was prevented; otherwise, some stalls could have been set up right in front of the Lin residence.
After breakfast, we went to a teahouse to drink tea. We found a corner or a private room upstairs, so as not to disturb the other tea drinkers, and listened to their conversations.
After finishing the tea, you can either go to a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) for lunch, order food from a large restaurant to eat at the Lin residence, or invite Okamura Tadamasa, Ko Shōhei, and others to find a place for a drink.
In the afternoon, I would go to a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) for a bath, or go to Angelina's place for an aromatherapy massage.
In the evening, enjoy a sumptuous meal while watching Angelina's newly choreographed song and dance performance, or have a wild party at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
Lin Ze felt he could live this decadent life forever!
On the fifth day, Okamura finally called.
His voice was tired yet excited, brimming with barely suppressed joy.
"Lin Jun, the matter is settled! Would you like to come to the Army Headquarters now?"
Lin Ze suggested, "General, you've been working really hard lately. How about I send someone to pick you up and bring you to the restaurant so you can relax and we can talk about this?"
Okamura agreed without hesitation, "No need for you to pick me up, I'll arrange a car right away, but the area around there..."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for the Security Bureau to provide the highest level of security immediately. Oh, and your son is here too."
Okamura nodded slightly. It was good that Tadashi was there; it would be good for him to be exposed to higher-level strategic thinking and to train him.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze instructed Niu San'er to arrange security, and then ran to the hot spring next door.
Tadashi Okamura is blindfolded and playing a game with a group of girls in swimsuits.
Lin Ze waved for the girls to leave, "Zhongzheng, Zhongzheng! Stop playing, your dad's coming!"
Recently, Okamura Tadamasa has been having a blast with Hayashi Sawa. He feels that places like ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants) are simply paradise, and he could stay there forever!
Lin Ze was trying to humiliate him. If it weren't for his status, his spending over the past few days, if it were to be settled, would be enough to bankrupt a small or medium-sized enterprise! The number one money pit in North China, and even in China, is no joke!
In response, Tadamasa Okamura said that his older brother was too good to him, bringing him to such a nice place without asking for money, and he must repay his older brother!
"Big brother, what's my father doing here?" Okamura Tadamasa took off his blindfold, his cheeks flushed from soaking in the hot springs.
"He wants to discuss something with me, so you'd better behave well later, understand? First and foremost, be respectful..."
Okamura Tadamasa hesitated, "Should I leave here first, brother? You know, I have a relationship with him..."
Lin Ze glared at him. "Baka! I'm asking you to stay here, and you must treat him with utmost respect, understand?"
Okamura Tadamasa smiled obsequiously, "Hai, hai, big brother, whatever you say."
Yes, this guy has been adjusted.
"Also, you need to be there when we talk about things later. Come on, let me teach you some phrases. You must remember them. When I kick or touch you, just say them."
"Hayi!"
Half an hour later, Okamura entered the restaurant through the private passage.
Lin Ze and Okamura Tadashi greeted them at the passageway. Okamura Tadashi bowed immediately upon arriving, "Father! You've worked hard! Lin Junzheng and I were discussing business matters here. We heard that you were coming, so we had them prepare the cleanest bathing tub and change the water. Father, although you are busy with work, please take care of yourself!"
Okamura was moved to tears!
As people get older, they tend to pay more attention to and rely more on their children.
Okamura used to favor his younger son and dislike his older son, but now that his younger son is dead, he only has Okamura Tadamasa as his descendant!
As someone with status and a family business, one would certainly hope that their son would be successful and filial.
In the past, Chung-jeong and he were like oil and water, but now Chung-jeong cares about his health!
Okamura looked at Lin Ze gratefully; all of this was thanks to Lin-kun!
“Zhongzheng, you have made a lot of progress during your time in North China. Doing business is also very hard work. You should take good care of yourself.”
The three of them went into the hot tub, took a short bath, and picked up small wine glasses. Lin Ze and Okamura Tadashi drank wine, while Okamura Tsubasa ordered a pot of sake.
After having a drink, Okamura leaned against the edge of the pool and said with emotion, "Lin-kun, thanks to you this time, Hata Shungo finally got scared. He personally sent a telegram and sent his adjutant to see me."
Okamura Tadamasa coughed. “Father, I heard about this from Mr. Lin. I think it’s not advisable to pursue this matter too relentlessly. If we keep pressing him, we might be able to cripple Hata Shungo, but we can’t kill him. Once he recovers, Father will have another formidable enemy. It would be better to take advantage of his weakness and ask him to make a political commitment.”
