Charlie smiled slightly: “Mr. Ito, I am not distrusting you, but this matter involves many lives, so you still have to be cautious. Could you please help me ask this Watanabe, and please also ask. At the time, try to be more natural and don’t let him hear what you mean.”
Takehiko nodded, immediately took out his cell phone, found Watanabe’s number, and called.
The call was quickly connected, and a lazy voice came: “Hey, Ito, what do you b@stard doing calling so early?”
Takehiko laughed and said, “Watanabe, where are you now?”
Watanabe yawned, “I’m sleeping, where else can I be! What’s the matter with you? Let me sleep a little longer if there is nothing important…”
Takehiko said: “I heard that you want to cooperate with a Chinese company? Are there any companies that have confirmed intentions?”
Watanabe asked curiously: “What? Are you planning to enter the steel industry?”
Takehiko said: “No, I just ask you, I happen to know some friends in China, if your cooperation here has not been settled, I may be able to help you match up.”
Watanabe said: “We have indeed considered this matter. Recently, it seems that we have indeed been docking with some powerful Chinese companies, but I will leave this to Hashimoto.”
Takehiko asked: “Hashimoto? Is it Hashimoto Kinzin?”
“Yes.” Watanabe said with a smile: “To be honest, this kind of cooperation to build a factory is not too big a business for Nippon Steel as a whole. I usually don’t directly intervene, but if you have friends who want to cooperate, then I can sell you face.”
Takehiko smiled and said, “Then I will thank you in advance, but has Hashimoto determined a partner for cooperation? If he already has a certain candidate, I will suddenly jump in. I am afraid. Not suitable.”
Watanabe said indifferently: “You don’t need to worry about Hashimoto’s suitability, he is a senior part-time worker. If I don’t ask anything, he will decide, but if I ask, he can only follow orders.”
Takehiko laughed and said, “Okay, I know, wait for me to ask my friends for details, and I will contact you if necessary.”
Watanabe said: “You have nothing else, right? I’ll hang up if there is nothing else, and continue to sleep!”
“Okay, go to sleep!”
After hanging up the phone, Takehiko said to Charlie: “Mr. Wade, it seems that Watanabe really doesn’t know about this. He didn’t even ask Miss Song and Hashimoto Kinzin about cooperation, and why would he participate in the murder? Where is Miss Song in this equation?”
