    Saburo Hashimoto hurriedly thanked her and asked, "So Miss Du has been to Japan."

    Du Lanxin said modestly: "My second uncle is the ambassador to Japan. I once lived with my aunt in Japan for more than a year. I have nothing to do on weekdays. I either go to Kyoto University to audit, or I go to tea ceremony and kendo clubs to study."

    Hashimoto Saburo had to say to Rong Dingkun: "Your son and daughter-in-law are both talented and beautiful. They are such a perfect pair. Boss Rong is so lucky."

    Du Lanxin put down her tea cup amidst the praises and bowed in return to Mrs. Tanaka, ending this complicated set of etiquette.  When she stood up, she arranged her hairpins and glanced across Hashimoto Shiori's pale face inadvertently, lingering deliberately for a moment, leaving a provocative and contemptuous glance.

    Hashimoto Shiori was stunned for a moment, and his expression became even stiffer.

    After tasting the tea, Mrs. Tanaka invited the female guests to visit the mansion.  Young Master Hashimoto felt unwell and could not continue to accompany the guests, so he pleaded guilty and left.  Saburo Hashimoto looked at the rickety back of his eldest son, then at the healthy second son and the heroic Rong Jiashang, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.  He sighed secretly, suppressed his emotions, and invited the Rong family and his son into the study to discuss business.

    The Hashimoto family wanted to expand the Nanyang route, and Rong Dingkun wanted to expand the northward route. The two families could complement each other in terms of food and arms, so they almost hit it off.

    Rong Dingkun pointed to the spread out map of the world and said: "My family now has two lines in the south, passing through the Strait of Malacca along the way. As for the situation at each port, I will let Quanzi explain in detail."

    Rong Jiashang leaned forward, took a pen, pointed at the map, and began to explain.

    Saburo Hashimoto was originally envious of Rong Dingkun's capable and upright son, but now that he was talking about it, he was even more amazed and jealous.  Even Rong Dingkun was secretly surprised.

    Rong Jiashang couldn't help but be familiar with all the ports along the route. He knew the population environment, local political changes, inland transportation routes, and the types of goods suitable for sale.  He also knows all the changes in ocean currents and climate fluctuations in different seasons during the route.  He spoke in great detail, but he didn't reveal even a single word about the secrets of the Rong family.

    Rong Dingkun listened, but his eyes were entirely focused on his son.  He suddenly felt that his eldest son seemed to have grown taller and seemed to have just lost weight. He was wearing a slim-fitting suit and looked more mature and steady.  The childishness on this child's face and the rebellious light in his eyes when he first came back at the beginning of the year have disappeared at some point.  Rong Jiashang at this moment made him seem to see himself when he was young.  But he is more calm and confident than before.

    Back then, Rong Dingkun started from scratch, but at this time, Rong Jiashang was already standing on a rich foundation.  He is familiar with all the property in his family and is in control of every movement. He has no worries and concentrates his whole body and mind on sprinting forward.

    After introducing the port, Rong Jiashang also expanded to the southern hemisphere. He pointed at the map of Australia and said: "This is also a good place. The outside world has always thought that Australia is desolate and barbaric and sparsely populated. But the grassland here is vast, suitable for grazing, and crops are produced every year.  There is a lot of wool, and it is cheap and beautiful. Nowadays, the garment industry is developing rapidly, and the prices of raw materials such as flour and wool are also soaring. If you can import wool from Australia, find a cheap factory in Nanyang for rough processing, and then ship it back, the profit may be considerable."

    Saburo Hashimoto¡¯s face glowed red, he kept saying yes, and said to Rong Dingkun: "They say that a tiger father has no sons. If boss Rong has a successor like your son, I am afraid he can retire early, have grandchildren, and just enjoy the blessings."

    Rong Dingkun was so proud that he said: "He has only been studying in the company for a few months and he doesn't understand anything. He just talks in confusion. President Hashimoto must not praise him too much, lest he get carried away."

    ¡°You¡¯ve only been studying for a few months and you¡¯re so capable?¡± After hearing this, Saburo Hashimoto couldn¡¯t help but glared at his second son.  After the second son was brought home more than a year ago, he taught him personally, and now that he has taught him, he is not even one-tenth of what Rongjia was taught.

    "I can only speak a few words verbally." Rong Dingkun said with a smile, "When it comes to handling official business, negotiating contracts and so on, I am still very young and need to learn more."

    Rong Jiasheng also said: "President Hashimoto is too generous. I am a junior who has just entered the industry. I will still have many things to ask you for advice in the future."

    Saburo Hashimoto looked at Rong Jiashang's handsome face and felt very happy in his heart. He only regretted that such a good young man got engaged so early.  He has two legitimate daughters, the eldest daughter is already engaged to a wealthy Japanese family, and the second daughter is seventeen years old and is a perfect match for him.  If that doesn't work out, that girl Shizhi can renew her relationship with the Rong family.

    Saburo Hashimoto was so regretful that he couldn't help but shook his head without realizing it.

    Seeing this, Rong Dingkun became even more proud.  Two old men?He also complained all day long that he didn't want to inherit the family business and wanted to join the army.  Have you figured it out now?  In fact, who didn¡¯t have some unrealistic ideals when they were young? I still wanted to be a female star.  Your family has a huge family fortune, and you are the eldest son. How many people would burn incense for many lifetimes to pray for such a good life like yours.  I heard from my brother that you are doing quite well in your company now, and you have directly made the decision on many major issues.  I think since you are already on the road, you should continue on your way.  "

    Rong Jia struck a match and lit her cigarette, and said, "I remember that you encouraged me to pursue my dream."

    "At first I thought you were just a young man whose family was in trouble." Hashimoto Shiori said, "For you at that time, joining the army was indeed an excellent choice to get ahead. But since you are the eldest young man, you have such a big  The family property is waiting for you to inherit, so why should you abandon the near and seek the far away?"

    Rong Jiashang said: "I want to join the army, not to get ahead."

    "What's that for?" Shiori Hashimoto asked with a smile, "Being a soldier doesn't mean fighting for fame. Do you want to be majestic by carrying guns and cannons?"

    Rong Jiashang was at a loss for words, and once again experienced the feeling of speaking without speculation when facing Hashimoto's second son.  #####(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
