"It's good to be ambitious, and only with ambition can you accomplish things."

Tou Man let Chu Lingyun support him and walked out until he came to sit down in the yard and spoke slowly.

Abe and others stood in the distance, watching them.

"Ambition is not a shortcoming. At best it's called ambition, at worst it's self-interest. But without ambition, what's the difference between a human being and a salted fish?"

Chu Lingyun's words made Touman stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "You are right, you are young and you are very courageous. Do you know that if you said such things in front of me twenty years ago, you would not be able to leave.

Get out of this yard."

"I understand that I will be your enemy at that time, and you will never be kind to your enemies."

Chu Lingyun immediately replied that he really understood the meaning of Tou Man's words.

Twenty years ago, Tou Man was not too old, but he was still in his early sixties. If there were people who rose up quickly and threatened his status, he would definitely remove them by any means.

Among the extraordinary people who influence domestic politics and the military, one is enough, and there is no need for a second one.

"You are indeed smart. Abe didn't lie to me."

Touma Otojiro was very satisfied with Chu Lingyun's answer and suddenly asked: "What do you think about the future?"

"I will not get involved in politics or join the military, but my influence will exceed theirs. In the future, I will make a lot of money. I will open a bank. My business will not be limited to Japan, but will be opened all over the world."

.For big countries, I will use money to support more people, help them get up, and become their financial backers."

"For small countries, I will threaten and use them to control them. I will strive to get more resources and get more oil and minerals. I will make Ishihara Trading Company truly a hidden family hidden behind the scenes."

Chu Lingyun studied Man Otojiro carefully.

The person Touma Otsujiro admired the most was actually a Chinese, Lu Buwei during the Warring States Period.

But he failed to do what Lu Buwei did. He started out in darkness and has been living in assassination and bloodshed, so he especially likes mustaches.

In the past two years, he promoted military cooperation between Japan, Germany and Italy, and shouted the slogan "Long live the mustache".

Chu Lingyun knew what he wanted and said it deliberately.

In fact, this is a real talk. He can't do it. No Japanese can do it. After Japan's defeat, even if there are such businessmen, they will be swallowed up by others.

"The ambition is not small. Do you have a plan?"

"have."

Chu Lingyun nodded again: "I am short of capital now and am accumulating it. In five years, I will accumulate a wealth of 100 million US dollars. With enough capital and enough strength, I will start with Southeast Asia. There are

A vast resource.”

"What if the empire doesn't allow you to attack Southeast Asia?"

Touma Otojiro suddenly asked. As a very influential figure in the country, Toumato knew a lot of things.

The empire covets Southeast Asia. If it hadn't been occupied by Europe and the United States long ago, the empire would definitely send troops to it.

If we can capture Southeast Asia, the empire's shortage of resources will be greatly improved.

"I understand what you mean. Wherever the empire needs it, I will make arrangements in advance. Besides, if I do it, I can help the empire get what it needs more quickly and conveniently, and at the same time, I can accumulate my wealth."

Chu Lingyun smiled, and Touman Ojiro was really a little surprised this time.

"What do you understand?"

"Sir, the empire needs Southeast Asia. Not only Southeast Asia, but also Australia, India and other places. Whenever possible, the empire will occupy it."

Chu Lingyun smiled, he knew better than anyone what the Japanese wanted.

"Why do you say that?"

Touman Ojiro stared straight at Chu Lingyun.

Chu Lingyun wants to make money and become someone like him. He is not surprised. However, the empire wants to attack Southeast Asia, even Australia and India. Now even the top management does not have a unified opinion. Few people know what happened to Ishihara Hiroshi.

knew.

He was certain that Hiroshi Ishihara had no access to such secrets.

In other words, these are all Ishihara Hiroshi's own speculations.

"It's very simple. We are an island country and we need resources. These places are rich in resources. If the empire wants to grow and truly become a country where the sun never sets, we must occupy these places."

Chu Lingyun said with a smile, and Touman Ojiro fell silent again, but this time he did not close his eyes.

"How sure are you?"

"Sir Touman, to tell you the truth, I am not even 10% sure. That's because I don't have enough capital and ability now, but I believe that everything depends on people. As long as I work hard, in five years, I dare to say that I will be 30% sure.

possible."

"In five years, is it so profitable to smuggle with the Chinese?"

Otojiro raised his head and Chu Lingyun's heart suddenly tightened.

The matter of smuggling between him and the Chinese cannot be hidden from those who are interested. After all, the business is so big and there are many people who know about it.

Touma Otojiro has many subordinates, even Keiji Tsuchhara is his disciple. It is very easy for him to find out what he has done.

"Sir, I can't hide anything from you."

Chu Lingyun lowered his head and smiled proudly.

Smuggling is indeed profitable, Nodman knows this very well, but smuggling with the Chinese is nothing.

He had never done anything before. He had done more than this. He had even sold arms to the Chinese, sold cigarettes, and loan sharks. He had done everything.

As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter what you do.

Don't think that the big guys in the military and cabinet are aloof. They are doing so many dirty things behind the scenes. Without them, how would Abe help people buy offices?

"You haven't officially become a disciple yet, have you?"

Touma suddenly asked. Chu Lingyun was stunned for a moment and shook his head hastily: "No, I only met Teacher Abe today."

"I understand. Just stay here. I'm tired. Someone will take you to rest."

Tou Man said slowly, then raised his head and asked Chu Lingyun to help him in.

Chu Lingyun stayed, but Abe was not allowed and could only leave with Yamaguchi Mitsukion and Chu Lingyun's bodyguards.

Ever since Yamaguchi Mitsukuma knew that it was the Manchu-sama who was going to die, he didn't dare to say a word, and he was in trepidation during the whole process.

Not to mention Mr. Touman, even Abe in front of him is also an incredible big shot to him.

"Ishihara Hiroshi was left at home by Touman-sama?"

On the other side, Tian Junliu, who was always paying attention to Chu Lingyun, got the news and was very shocked.

Few of Touman-sama’s disciples have stayed in Touman’s home. Why does Ishihara Hiroshi get such treatment?

The next day, he received another piece of news that almost shocked him.

Otojiro Otoman recruited another apprentice after twenty years, and this time he recruited Ishihara Hiroshi.

Isn't Hiroshi Ishihara a disciple of Toshihiro Abe? How could he become a disciple of Mantou?

This generation is completely in chaos.

Immediately, Tian Junliu figured out the reason.

Abe accepted Hiroshi Ishihara only verbally and did not officially become a disciple. This time Ishihara Hiroshi came to Japan, one of his tasks was to make up for the apprenticeship ceremony.

I'm afraid Abe himself didn't expect that his apprentice would ask his teacher to cut off his beard.

Hiroshi Ishihara is indeed an outstanding young man, and he was favored by Lord Toman.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Abe was called over by Lord Touman early the next morning and asked him not to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. Since they had not officially become a disciple, he wanted this apprentice.

Abe was shocked at the time. His apprentice was robbed by his teacher?

The apprentice becomes the junior brother, who should he talk to for reasoning?

Lord Touman was his backer, so naturally he did not dare to object to such a request. His mentality changed quickly, and soon he congratulated his teacher with a smile on his new disciple.

He accepted Hiroshi Ishihara simply because Hiroshi Ishihara was rich and could give him a lot of money.

Even if he is not his disciple, if Hiroshi Ishihara comes to him for work in the future, he will still have to pay him.

Except for his master, he has never been cheap when his fellow apprentices come to him. He must charge not a penny less. This is what he does.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether he is his disciple or not.

He is going to Shanghai soon. This junior brother has already established his own personal connections in Shanghai. With his help, it will be easier for him to establish himself in Shanghai in the future.

It means that the apprentice's money is taken openly, and the junior's money is pure business.

When Chu Lingyun learned about this, she was also stunned.

He had a frank talk with Touman Otojiro. There was nothing he couldn't say. Touman was not a hot-blooded young man. He couldn't stand the things he did. He never expected that Touman would take a liking to him and directly accept him as his wife.

only.

No one knows what Touman is thinking.

Even though he is old, the older he gets, the more worried he becomes.
