194 Nakagawa Mitasu (1/2)
”Are you finished? Chen Fan shook his arm and said angrily, ”I said that I have thrown the stone away!”
”Sir, you have a saying here that 'A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations'. We're all adults, and there's nothing wrong with our IQs. Why do you tell such a lame lie?”
The little girl with long hair loosened her arm and said, ”You can call me Nakagawa Emi. I earnestly request you to sell me the ghost moon incense, and we, the Nakagawa, will certainly pay you a grand reward.”
The Nakagawa family had a fascinating background. Since A.D. 1603, when the imposed great commission in Edo Shogunate first began, the first generation of householder, minister Nakagawa Gentai, was the Minister of the government. During his tenure, the Nakagawa family turned to commercial development, and continued to do so for more than 200 years.
In 1996, the Nakagawa corporation was ranked second among the top 500 in the world. After the year 2001, Nakagawa's independent accounting of its important industrial institutions made them fall rapidly from their five top ranking position, and within a few years, they'd dropped out of the five hundred top completely.
In 1983, it set up its first office in Beijing, and now, it has 12 offices in China, and more than 97 joint ventures and sole proprietorships. Its business scope included the domestic trade of steel, textile, machinery, chemicals, energy, electronics and information, as well as grain, oil and food, non-ferrous metals, light industrial building materials, and much more. Arguably, the Nakagawa family's economic strength in Japan was second only to that of the world's largest business community.
As a member of the immediate family, Nakagawa was assigned to take charge of Tianhai city and the industrial supervision of three nearby cities. Today, she was going to represent the elderly in her house, to go to the tea shop that had a tradition dating back hundreds of years, in order to meet an elderly person, who had mistook an elderly member in her household as being Chinese, and saved him, during the sino-japanese war. En route to this mission, they had unexpectedly met Chen Fan.
”The Nakagawa family?” Chen Fan crumpled his mouth, I'm the young master of Chen's family, had she read too many novels?
”Nakagawa Emi, do you know what is the brand of my car?” Chen Fan, like a nouveau riche, patted his Maybach, Berlin.
”Maybach, Berlin!” Nakagawa Emi said, as though she was talking about a Chery QQ, with no change in expression.
She did not show surprise and admiration as expected, which made Chen Fan frustrated.
Now, he said in an unkind voice, ”You know, so do you think I'm going to sell something I don't want to sell for five million dollars?”
”What line of business does your family do?” Nakagawa Emi drew a gold-plated business card from her hunting suit. ”I think we can establish a business partnership and provide a very convenient business channel for you, sir.”
Chen Fan thought her family was just a rich family in Japan, while Nakagawa thought Chen Fan was just a rich man's son.
”My household handles a tomb robber profession!” Chen Fan took the card at random and looked at it, then held it in his hand. ”Once again, I won't sell it.”
”せせいんしてさい!” Nakagawa Emi said half, and realized that the other party did not understand, so she then said in Chinese, ”Sir, ghost moon incense is very important to our family, so I would like to ask you to consider again.”
”Are you deaf or what?”
Nakagawa's face, which was originally cheerful, suddenly became cold. Then she said, ”I want you to think seriously!”
She was just beginning to show a very talkative, cheerful appearance. But, that didn't mean she was really good-natured. In fact, some people from large families more or less hated rejection. This was a problem that had been cultivated over the years by the sense of superiority in the family, and thus, had been deeply rooted in their blood.
”I have thought carefully!” Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, then shook the card with his finger tips.
”Phew!” With sound made in his mouth, he darted the card out of the way, hitting it squarely on the light box.
”とういんしてさいどうもりてざいす!” To Chen Fan's surprise, Nakagawa Emi did not erupt physically, but instead did so verbally.
What was she talking about? Chen Fan scowled, as it was impossible to sell her the ghost moon incense, for she was Japanese! So, Chen Fan did not bother to play with her, and after flinging off the business card, he turned away.
”You will pay for your actions!” After saying that, Nakagawa Emi also turned away.
”Wait!” Chen Fan suddenly pressed down the window and cried out to her with a smile, ”I am a very lustful person. If you can satisfy my desire and sleep with me for a night, I think I will give you the ghost moon incense.”
Before he was just wanting to leave after teasing the Japanese girl, but the expression on her face did not change, as said astonishing words, ”If you hand out the ghost moon incense first, I will immediately grant your wish.”
The voice was still crisp and sweet, but Chen Fan felt creepy hearing it.
”You, crazy woman...” Chen Fan gave her a thumbs up, then fled away with his car.
”ごんうどもがなりあさめごといますうざい.” Nakagawa Emi did not listen to Chen Fan's provocation, but took out her phone and informed the family's elders of the scene that just played out.
