”Welcome back, Mike.” For MacArthur's return, Li Zitao attaches great importance to it.
He not only arranged a welcome dance, but also came to the airport to meet him in person.
This did not meet the requirements. MacArthur landed at the military airport instead of a civilian airport. However, Li Zitao was quite comfortable in the military.
”Charlie...” After the warm embrace, MacArthur looked at him carefully and laughed, ”look at you. It's the same as before. Nothing has changed.”
”So do you.” Li Zitao's words are all compliments.
MacArthur looked a little bit older than he had seen last time, and he had a little bit of weight in his stomach, although he tried to inhale a lot after the meeting.
”We all know what you're talking about. Tell me, you're ready to drink.” MacArthur's trip to New York was a private matter, and he had already reported it to Washington.
”Of course, whatever you want, get on the bus first.” The car stopped at the bottom of Li's apartment, and Li Zitao wanted to entertain him at home.
However, when he got out of the car, he had more branch pens in his hand.
This pen is a gift from MacArthur. There is nothing special about the pen itself. Its value lies in what it has done.
When MacArthur accepted Japan's surrender, he used five Parker pens. The first pen with the word ”Doug” was given to lieutenant general Wainwright. The second pen with ”Lars” was given to British commander Percival. The third one signed ”MacArthur” was collected by himself, and the fourth one signed as ”Supreme Commander of the Allied forces” was sent to his alma mater, West Point.
He also collected the fifth pen that signed the date and gave it to his beloved wife. Now Li Zitao has received the third pen signed ”MacArthur”.
Its historical value is enough for Li Zitao to put it in the most prominent position in the exhibition room, with a detailed introduction of its origin.
”Thank you for the gift.” Invite MacArthur to the cigar bar, and Li Zitao thanks him again.
It is impossible to receive another gift with such significance in my life.
”You said, if you really want to thank you, take out your treasure!” MacArthur sat on the soft sofa, waiting for wine and cigars.
”Of course.” Naturally, Li Zitao would not be stingy. ”How about staying in Japan?”
”Good, but I prefer the feeling of going home.” MacArthur relaxed with his cigar in his mouth and closed his eyes with pleasure.
”It would be great. I'll introduce you to a new friend.”
”I think it must be a friendly friend.”
They relaxed and enjoyed it until the sound of pushing the door broke the silence and let the figure walk in from the door.
After learning the news of MacArthur's return, Li Zitao informed him that he was asked to come here to discuss the matter that had no result last time.
Japan's heavy industry company, he wants to open up new industries and make the family business bigger, which has nothing to do with politics.
At least in his statement to Li Zitao, there was no political factor.
”Let MacArthur I don't think I need to introduce the identity. ” Both of them are not little people. They have met before. Therefore, he just said a lazy and casual sentence, which is the end of the introduction.
”Let.”
”Call me Mike.”
Two people are very familiar to say hello, MacArthur pulled out a cigar from the cigar box and handed it to him, ”don't mention it. Someone will pay the bill.”
”I never know what politeness is here.” Let's pick up the cigar and laugh.
