Chapter 1239. Mr. Yamamoto has been waiting for me for a day?

Chapter 1239. Mr. Yamamoto has been waiting for me for a day?

Two days later.

Outside Longguo Bank.

The Song family's car was parked on the side of the street. Li Xiangnan sat on the hood, smoking and staring at the bank's door.

Jian Jingzhe looked at him from the side and comforted him, "Xiangnan, don't worry. Since Ambassador Cui said that the money can be transferred this morning, then it will definitely be transferred! I don't think anything will go wrong!"

Li Xiangnan had been waiting here for the whole morning and had smoked half a pack of cigarettes. He smiled and said, "I'm not worried! We'll ship the goods upon payment. There's no loss yet!"

"I think judging from Ambassador Cui's current attitude, he is desperately hoping to make this deal happen!" Jian Jingzhe also convinced himself.

Seeing that Li Xiangnan just hummed and said nothing more, he looked at his watch and it was almost half past ten.

As time went by, Jian Jingzhe, who had been comforting him, gradually felt an inexplicable anxiety in her heart. She didn't want Li Xiangnan to be affected by her emotions, so she came up with a topic to divert their emotions.

"Xiangnan, put pressure on Ambassador Cui. The person who provided the Zhidong order was Minister Watanabe, not Yamamoto. Do you think that the people in Japan might know that Yamamoto was cured by you and might have thought of your friendship?"

"So the senior executives related to the Shibato Group ignored Yamamoto and asked Watanabe to come and discuss the order for the scanner, right?" Li Xiangnan turned his head and continued talking as she said.

"That's what I think!" Jian Jingzhe did not comment.

Li Xiangnan shook his head. "Although the Japanese conglomerates are closely tied to the political world and their power is intertwined, the political world generally has more power than the chaebols! Watanabe came to see Choi Jindong. I think this is partly due to the intentions of both the Shibadong Conglomerate and Yamamoto!"

"You mean..." Jian Jingzhe narrowed her eyes. She was an old hand in the diplomatic field and understood Li Xiangnan's meaning almost instantly. "Yamamoto deliberately didn't come to see Cui Jindong because he wanted to express his goodwill to you. He has received a favor from you and it's hard for him to do something that would hurt your relationship!"

"As for whether this is what I think, I think we will know soon!" Li Xiangnan smiled at her.

Jian Jingzhe nodded thoughtfully.

"Zimo!"

After finishing his last cigarette, Song Zimo walked out quickly. Li Xiangnan felt his pocket and said, "What's going on? I'm out of cigarettes, so I'll buy you a cigarette!"

Song Zimo shook his head and rubbed his brows, "Director Liu is still waiting! My sister used her connections to get into the VIP room and had someone check the ledger every ten minutes!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Xiangnan pressed his shoulder.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yi ran out in a hurry, shouting, "Xiangnan! The money has arrived, the money has arrived!"

"Hey, that's great!" Song Zimo turned around to see Song Yi's expression, and immediately jumped three feet high and became excited.

Li Xiangnan and Jian Jingzhe looked at each other and went up the stairs one after another.

"Where's Lao Liu?"

"Waiting for you!" Song Yi smiled brightly and pointed inside, "Let's go!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan nodded, and followed Song Yi into the bank, walking through the hall to the VIP customer area at the back.

Liu Zhiyuan was sweating profusely as he sat in front of a desk piled with documents. When he saw him come in, he stood up and waved his hands excitedly, "Here, here!"

"Uncle Liu, has the money arrived?" Li Xiangnan went over to greet him.

"Here it is!" Liu Zhiyuan handed the receipt to Li Xiangnan, reached out to move the phone in front of him, and started ringing the phone.

Li Xiangnan was holding the receipt and was deeply shaken.

The number 72, with a string of zeros, dazzled him.

After the money is deposited into the Ministry of Metallurgy’s account, the machine repair factory still has to go to the customs to go through the formalities and file tax and customs declarations. After the tax is deducted, the remaining 600,000 is the income this time!

In other words, at this moment, the first foreign exchange income has been realized!

This is how the export quota for scanners was created!

In fact, Li Xiangnan knew that it was not easy at all to see the money in the account.

Malaysia needs to transfer money through Hong Kong, from Malaysian ringgit to Hong Kong dollars, and then from Hong Kong dollars to RMB and remit it to the mainland. They also have to calculate the exchange rate in between.

A more complicated way is to convert Malaysian Ringgit into US dollars first, then from US dollars to Hong Kong dollars, and then convert back to RMB or directly from US dollars to RMB.

But all these tasks were completed in one morning, which clearly showed the Cui family's utmost sincerity.

"Quick! You tell me!"

Liu Zhiyuan's words interrupted Li Xiangnan's thoughts.

"Uncle Liu? What are you doing..." Li Xiangnan was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

"Give order to Lao Xing to release the goods. We will split into two groups and go directly to Tianjin Port!" Liu Zhiyuan's eyes were bright and he raised the microphone in his hand.

"Uncle Liu, you are the factory director..."

"Hurry up!" Liu Zhiyuan stuffed the microphone into his hand, "You should be the one to issue the notice to release the goods!"

Seeing the encouraging expressions on Song Yi, Jian Jingzhe and Song Zimo's faces, Li Xiangnan had no choice but to pick up the microphone and say "hello".

"Xiao Li, what's up? Hello, is this Xiao Li?"

Hearing Xing Chunlai's anxious voice, Li Xiangnan took a deep breath, "Uncle Xing, this is Xiangnan! The payment has arrived, 72 yuan, not a penny less, release the goods!"

"yeah!"

He immediately heard a cry of surprise coming from the phone, as if the entire office was celebrating.

"Got it! I'll release the goods right away!"

Then Xing Chunlai hung up the phone.

He rushed to the railing on the second floor and shouted to the four large trucks parked in front of the office building, the scattered masters sitting around, Cui Jindong and his staff, "Ambassador Cui, set off to the port. The money has arrived!"

After Xing Chunlai shouted this, he hurried downstairs.

"That's great!" Cui Jindong cried with joy, and suddenly held Liu Yang's hand, saying excitedly: "Mr. Liu, please!"

Liu Yang grinned with relief.

"Engineer Liu, let's get in the car and go to the port!" Cui Jindong opened the car door and nodded to invite him, "You go first! Director Xing, please get in the car too!"

Outside the bank.

Li Xiangnan led Liu Zhiyuan, Song Yijian, Jingzhe and Song Zimo hurriedly into the car.

"Zimo, ensure safety and get to Tianjin Port as quickly as possible!"

Four hours later.

Twenty CT scanners were loaded onto the ship.

Liu Zhiyuan and Xing Chunlai were squatting on the ground, stuffing things into Liu Yang's suitcase.

"Director, I've taken care of enough! Don't worry about me!" Liu Yang was deeply moved and held the old director's hand, "I can take care of myself!"

"Xiao Liu, did you bring your toothbrush? Do you have enough toothpaste? And soap and socks, I forgot to buy them!" Liu Zhiyuan has been concerned about these specific little things until this moment!

"Director, I brought it. I brought everything! I'm an engineering major. I even made a list for myself when I go abroad. There won't be any mistakes! Don't worry!"

After Liu Zhiyuan and Xing Chunlai were comforted by some persuasion, Liu Yang said to Li Xiangnan, "Doctor Li, please send me off!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiangnan picked up the luggage on the ground and sent him to the bridge, and reminded him: "Jingzhe has already informed the Malaysian Embassy. If you encounter any difficulties in the local area, you can find our compatriots! Ambassador Cui's people will also take care of you on the ship! I will wait for your safe return!"

"Doctor Li!" Liu Yang walked across the bridge and stood on the deck of the cargo ship. "I'll remember that! Thank you!"

The winter sun slants on the harbor shore, and the iron-gray waves surround the sailing ship.

The whistle cut off Liu Yang's last words, and seagulls flew over the mast, startling a wave of golden light.

The waving of hands on the deck was like the flapping of wings of migratory birds, and the clinking of anchor chains suddenly matched the rhythm of heartbeats.

It took Li Xiangnan a long time to turn around.

Liu Zhiyuan rubbed his sore cheek and asked, "Xiao Li, can you do what you want now?"

"Of course!" Li Xiangnan smiled and looked at his watch. "Let's go directly to the Neon Embassy and find Yamamoto!"

An hour and a half later.

Li Xiangnan led Jian Jingzhe, Song Yi and Song Zimo through a Japanese-style wooden room and walked into a teahouse built by the water.

As dusk fell, bamboo curtains were lowered one by one across the shoji doors.

The white porcelain incense burner on the table emits wisps of cotinus incense, which permeates the ink color of Sesshū's scroll on the wall.

The wind chimes on the eaves rang softly, breaking the silence in the room, but Yamamoto Jukuro was still staring at the tea with his eyes lowered, as devoutly as if he was serving a god.

He gently picked up a cup of tea with bamboo tweezers and respectfully placed it on the table near the door. Then he raised his head and smiled, "Sir, please take a seat!"

Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, sat down cross-legged, raised the cup to his nose and smelled it.

"The mushroom aroma is sweet, and the tea soup is like sauce! Anhua black tea has been brewed for so long! It seems that Mr. Yamamoto has been waiting for me for a whole day?"
