Cai E immediately passed the results of the negotiation with Song Jiaoren to Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan Provinces. When he received the news, everyone who had been waiting for him had different reactions. Some were stunned and speechless when they saw the result, some were slammed on the table and cursed on the spot, and some were heartbroken and unscrupulous in their hearts...

For Liu Cunhou, the first one who jumped out to fight back, his mood was the most complicated. He would definitely not be able to beat him, otherwise he would not be shameless as a shameless villain. However, the conditions offered by the central government were too harsh, which would mean that most of the rights they had in their hands. Although he could lead troops or remove military positions in the future and transfer to civil affairs, it would be no problem to have a high official and generous salary in a stable manner, but it would be absolutely impossible to dominate one side and become a local emperor like now.

He scolded Song Jiaoren for being too cruel and too dark in his stomach, but Liu Cunhou did not dare to fight at all. After all, he was different from Yun and Gui. Now the bayonet of the National Defense Forces has almost hit his chest. If he said no now, not only would all of his actions be gone at the beginning, but he would have to lose his territory like Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng and others, like him, and they would have to become prisoners of the National Defense Forces.

While those people in the Yun and Guizhou provinces were discussing the news that Cai E had sent back, Liu Cunhou, who was determined to be aware of the current affairs, first stated that he absolutely supported this decision, and sent someone very generously to invite Cao Kun to let his third division drive to Chongqing and hand over some of the rights he was in hand.

At the same time, Song Jiaoren was not idle either. He asked the Ministry of National Defense to order the front-line departments to mobilize them and act as a military suppression to force all parties to raise the flag. When the deadline for the last day came, in addition to Liu Cunhou, the first statement, with Cai E's efforts, several Yunnan Army units headed by Tang Jiyao had no choice but to agree to the central government's request. Of course, there were also a few of the little warlords who could not make a mistake and were reluctant to compromise. They were fighting with the central government in their hearts and tried to negotiate a better outcome. Just when they thought they were smart, the various departments of the National Defense Forces made lightning strikes and destroyed all of them with a thunderous momentum.

While resolving Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan, the Eighth Division of the National Defense Forces approached Fujian from Zhejiang. Unlike Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan, the warlord forces in the southeast were dominated by the Guangxi clique. That is, Lu Rongting, who controlled Guangdong and Guangxi cliques, was the Southern Heavenly King. Fujian has always been deeply influenced by the Guangxi cliques, and the local local forces and warlords were not strong. Song Jiaoren released Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan in one yard, which does not mean that he also had the intention to let Fujian go. Kill the chickens for the monkeys, Fujian is the chicken he wanted to kill. Once the powerful Eighth Division entered Fujian, it quickly wiped out the entire province of Fujian with the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the troops approached Guangdong and Guangxi cliques.

In more than half a month since the central government sent troops, the riots in various provinces quickly subsided. With this matter, the central government's authority was greatly established and the local forces and the warlords of various provinces were weakened. In general, although Song Jiaoren did not meet the expected goals, the current result was considered good. I will slowly figure it out and it will probably be possible to completely solve the problem in a few years.

Fang Zida saw these things one by one, and thought in his heart that if he was Song Jiaoren, it would be the best result to be able to do this after the situation changed. At the same time as the Eighth Division wiped out Fujian, Fang Zida, who had just arrived in Shanghai, had contacted the consortium representatives sent by Japan in the name of the Deputy Finance Minister and the President of the Central Bank.

Fang Zida decided to cooperate with Japan in commercial cooperation. The news immediately attracted great attention after Ichiro Fujita returned to Japan. Today, Japan seems to be a strong country on the surface. But in fact, it can only be considered a first-class country in East Asia, second-class to third-class countries in the world. Especially in terms of business, Japanese companies rely on the Chinese market, such as traditional industries such as textiles and machinery. The products they produce are not as easy to sell among world powers because of their quality and technical content. They can only focus on the Chinese market with low prices and competitiveness.

In addition, the four major consortiums in the Japanese financial industry, such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Yasuda, have been eyeing the Chinese market and are eager to develop rapidly with China's huge market. Therefore, after the news of this commercial cooperation came, these consortiums were ecstatic and sent capable personnel to form a business group and rushed to China.

On the first day after Fang Zida arrived in Shanghai, Ichiro Fujita, who had been waiting for many days, hurriedly brought people over and introduced the representatives of the four major consortiums to Fang Zida. Fang Zida had already prepared for cooperation with Japan. Both sides politely asked about the other party's ideas and plans for cooperation. The representatives of the four major consortiums immediately explained their plans and asked Fang Zida to take a look. After reading them one by one, Fang Zida couldn't help but feel funny. The appetite of these four major consortiums is still really big, and they are not afraid of whether they can swallow so many requests? However, the little Japanese have always had this virtue in discussing business. The lion spoke up and put forward a bunch of requests before talking about them, and then discussed them one by one to achieve the real goal. For hundreds of years, the Japanese businessmen's approach has never been innovative, even in the 21st century. Fang Zida has long been used to it.

There are pros and cons to cooperate with Japan, and of course Fang Zida cannot sell the interests of his country. However, it is necessary to give Japan some sweetness. Fang Zida immediately asked the other party to make a large reduction in negotiations. It can almost be said that it is a verbal battle. The negotiations between the two sides are not easier than on the battlefield. They have been talking for a week, and after many twists and turns, they came up with a preliminary cooperation plan.

"Fang Sang! I am very glad you are not a businessman." When the negotiations were over and the two sides finally began to sign the agreement, Mitsubishi's heir, Koya Iwasaki, bowed to Fang Zida very seriously and said.

As a Japanese and as the heir to one of Japan's largest consortiums, Iwasaki Koyata's words gave Fang Zida a very high evaluation. Although the two of them refused to give in to each other during the negotiations these days, and even quarreled over some things, it does not mean that Iwasaki Koyata has no good feelings for Fang Zida. On the contrary, he admires Fang Zida's keen grasp and judgment in business.

"Actually, I think it may be more appropriate to be a businessman than a politician." Fang Zida smiled easily and exchanged the contract he had signed with the other party.

"However, I still think that being a politician can reflect value more than being a businessman. After all, running a country is more accomplished than running a company. Isn't it? Fang Sang!" Iwasaki Koyata once studied abroad and was more outgoing than ordinary Japanese. After going through difficult negotiations, he finally told such a joke on such an occasion. Fang Zida immediately laughed.

In the evening, it was a special reception held by Japan. On the one hand, it was to celebrate the success of China and Japan's commercial negotiations. On the other hand, it was also to give exchange opportunities between some small and medium-sized enterprises in the business group and Chinese national enterprises. Fang Zida, the main person in charge of the negotiation, must also attend.

Since last year's investment promotion conference, commerce in coastal areas of China began to develop rapidly. With the outbreak of the European War, the demand for goods at home and abroad has also attracted a ** in a booming manner. Similarly, the development of commerce has also brought a large number of opportunities for primary industries, agriculture and planting industries. Because of these influences, even several inland provinces in China have received a lot of benefits. Especially the first batch of businessmen who participated in investment promotion conferences and invested huge amounts of money in the past year, they all made a lot of money when attending the reception. They were all red and in a good mood.

China has huge commercial potential, but it must rely on external forces at the beginning. Commercial cooperation between China and Japan is also of great benefit to China. Due to the outbreak of the European War, the machinery and other equipment that domestic factories were originally urgently needed could not be purchased from Western countries like before. Although Japan, which is close to the world, is not as good as that of advanced countries in terms of quality and technology, it is also a good choice in comparison.

The large number of equipment purchased by Fang Zida in Europe had been consumed long ago. Before the domestic machinery manufacturing industry had completed its self-sufficiency, cooperation with Japan was inevitable and necessary. While Fang Zida was conducting arduous negotiations with several consortiums, many Chinese companies were already waving their money in their hands and couldn't wait to buy Japanese products. This result made the excited Japanese business community overjoyed and further strengthened their confidence in opening up the Chinese market.

"Fujita, why are you here alone?" At the cocktail party, Fang Zida had a great conversation with several top figures in the Chinese and Japanese business circles. He went to the bathroom halfway. When he returned to the cocktail party, he saw Fujita Ichiro in a suit wandering outside the venue alone in the corridor. He couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Bang!" Fujita Ichiro's legs were put together, and his waist was straight and bent down at Fang Zida: "Fang Sang, I'm waiting for you here."

"Wait for me?" Fang Zida said strangely.

"Hi!"

Ichiro Fujita raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and was filled with gratitude and excitement: "Fang Sang! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Fang Sang!"

"Hey. I said Fujita, why did you do this again? Do you still want to make a mourning soldier here and you will definitely win?" Fang Zida couldn't help but joke as he saw Fujita like this.

"No! Fang Sang. My gratitude is sincere!" Fujita Ichiro's expression was extremely serious, and he bowed deeply to Fang Zida again.

Because of the great success of this negotiation, and the Japanese business community received a large number of orders from China, Ichiro Fujita was also commended as an intermediary. The telegram that Tokyo praised him was just received and was carefully hidden in his pocket. In order to praise his achievements in China, Ichiro Fujita was not only promoted, but also had to return to China to receive formal commendation. For this reason, Ichiro Fujita, who was excited, came outside to wait for Fang Zida in order to express his gratitude personally.

"Haha, this is all you deserve. Fujita Jun, there is an old Chinese saying that diligence rewards hard work, don't thank me." After understanding the whole story, Fang Zida smiled and patted his shoulder.

"No, Fang Sang is my benefactor, I must thank you." Fujita Ichiro said firmly.

Helplessly, Fang Zida could only smile and nodded, and asked Ichiro Fujita if he would come to China after he returned. Ichiro Fujita replied that everything would be waiting for Tokyo's arrangements, but when he was not in China, someone would temporarily take over his work, and he had brought this person.

"Oh, who is it?" Fang Zida asked casually.

"Okamura, please come here!" Fujita Ichiro shouted into the door, and in a blink of an eye, a man in his thirties in his suit came over.

"Fang Sang, the time I left China is temporarily contacted by Okamura Jun. Okamura Jun, this person is Fang Sang." Fujita Ichiro introduced to both parties.

"Fang Sang! In Shigaokamura Yasuji, please take care of me when I first meet!"
