Chapter 260

Jin Yu took his lips lightly. He didn't seem to mind at all. He just said, "if uncle likes it, you might as well come and sit down."

Yan Kecheng knew that this was just a polite remark. He didn't take it seriously. Then he noticed the brown pipe in Jin Yu's hand. When he looked at it from a distance, he knew that the quality of the upper class was high-end. He couldn't help but pick it with a thick eyebrow.

It is well known that he likes smoking and has better pipe.

"I remember... You don't smoke." Yan Kecheng's eyes were a little deep, and all kinds of meanings were clear, but he was waiting for Jin Yu's interest and initiative.

After all, it's no secret that Jin Yu never smokes.

If you look around, you can invite one or two people. Almost all of them are old smokers. Even some non-smokers, in order to integrate into this kind of atmosphere, occasionally they will meet with two people symbolically to appreciate. But Jin Yu has such self-control in such an environment, which is really rare.

Jin Yu strolled forward, handed his pipe to Yan Kecheng and said in a low voice, "it's a waste to put good things here. If my uncle likes it, please accept it."

Sure enough, Jin Yu has a good eye for color recognition. Yan Kecheng smiles with satisfaction and leans over to take it. He looks at it carefully in his hand. Then he says with a "ah" exclamation: "this pipe is made of the roots of the best old Phoebe. The shape is smooth and the grain is extremely perfect. It's the best of the best. It's worth a lot of money."

"It's a pipe carved from the roots of 250 year old Phoebe. It's rare, but it's rare now." Jin Yu sighed.

After hearing this, Yan Kecheng's eyes brightened even more. He just thought it was a valuable thing, but he didn't expect that this small thing was far beyond his estimation. Then he tentatively asked, "are you willing?"

Jin Yu smiles, nods and says, "uncle is an expert. It's worth the pipe to meet uncle. Although it's love giving up, it's willing."

After hearing this, Yan Kecheng raised his eyebrows, took out the cut tobacco, added it, pressed it carefully, lit the fire, and took a deep breath. He couldn't help but hold his breath and couldn't bear to breathe out. It was a pure and fascinating smell of wood.

Smelling the irritating smell of smoke, Jin Yu frowned slightly. He put his hands into his smooth trousers pocket and walked leisurely to the distance. Pacing on the Persian carpet in the hall, he said faintly, "as you all know, many high-grade custom-made pipes are carved from Photinia, and the most precious one is the root nodules of more than 250 years old, It is very possible to buy this kind of pipe. However, with the increasing market demand for it, the old Phoebe which is easy to be cut has been developed and used up. Some hundred year old Phoebe has become the material for high-grade pipe. After World War II, even some high-end brands, We also have to use some 15-year-old Photinia as raw materials, and the pipes made of old Photinia become the most popular products in the market

Jin Yu narrated the history of that era leisurely, with a familiar and steady tone, as if all this was his personal experience.

After hearing this, Yan Kecheng was also deeply fascinated. With Jin Yu's pipe, he nodded frequently when he heard the main point.

He only liked to use pipes and knew how to distinguish the best things. However, he was a rough man. He seldom studied such a detailed history.

Jin Yu strolled to the French window, xiuran turned around, looked at Yan Kecheng, and suddenly asked, "uncle, do you know where the pipe came from? Where is the wood used? "

"It's a French brand." Yan Kecheng recognized the sign, then frowned, "as for the material..."

Jin Yu smile, then thin lips micro motion, slowly spit out three words, "flow, Su, island."

"Oh?" Yan Kecheng was surprised, "is there such a treasure in Liusu island? How come I've never heard of it? "

Jin Yu seemed to have expected that Yan Kecheng would react like this. He was not surprised. He just turned his back to the window and looked out into the sky. He said in a deep voice, "when the French occupied Liusu Island, they strayed into a mountain forest when they pursued the remnants of our army. Because they were not very familiar with the local terrain, they failed in their pursuit, However, an old Photinia forest area was discovered by accident. After that, the French generals immediately reported it to the French authorities. The French authorities realized the value of the forest, and they did not rush to exploit it. Instead, they secretly protected the forest. Now the valuation of the forest is rising. Once exploited, its commercial value is immeasurable. "

After hearing this, Yan Kecheng felt faint fear in his heart. It was an area closely protected by the French side, and he must have a heavy military leader. Even though he had the most advanced military intelligence network in his hands, he had never heard of it.

But Jin Yu, he has heard about it for a long time. Yan Kecheng can hardly underestimate the young man in front of him. Obviously, the intelligence network in his hands may have far exceeded his authority as a prime minister.

Yan Kecheng sighed slightly, frowned slightly, and looked solemn. "Today you asked me to come here, should not just let me listen to you tell the story about this pipe?"

After hearing this, Jin Yu walks back to the wine cabinet, takes down a bottle of foreign wine, takes two glasses together, pours two glasses of wine, and comes to Yan Kecheng's side. With his long arm extended, Yan Kecheng passes the wine cup. Yan Kecheng takes it and drinks it. It's all gone. The burning foreign wine goes into his throat, but his brow doesn't wrinkle.

Jin Yu picked up the bottle and poured the wine for him. He seemed to open his mouth carelessly. "Although the area of Liusu island is not very vast, because of its geographical advantage, it has given birth to countless rich products. For thousands of years, despite the war and the change of dynasties, Liusu Island seems to be isolated from the world and far away from the war, Therefore, in ancient times, tassel island is often called as a fairyland, also known as Fairy Island. Until modern times, navigation technology became more and more developed, which enabled the French army to gain an advantage and occupy this treasure island. For decades, negotiations between the two countries have never stopped on the issue of the ownership of the island. However, the French side has been reluctant to return the sovereignty of the island because they know that the value of the island itself has far exceeded the world's estimation. The island is not only a financial center, but also a potential value once it is made public, It's bound to shock the world. "

"Now that the return of Liusu island is a foregone conclusion, Jinling has the right to take back everything in the island." Yan Kecheng is determined.

"Not necessarily." Jin Yu raised his glass to drink a glass of foreign wine and continued: "naturally, the French side has anticipated such a situation and will inevitably complete the strategic privatization of these resources through various channels, because according to the relevant provisions of international law, the military or the government has no right to confiscate private property."

After hearing this, Yan Kecheng was angry. He patted the table with his thick palm and said angrily, "these foreign ghosts!"

Jin Yu continued with that casual tone: "the return of tassel island is only the beginning of thousands of obstacles. In the future, it will be a real hard battle. It is easy to recover the territory, the popular will, the sovereignty and the treasures left by the people."

"What's Hanlin's plan for Liusu island?" Yan Kecheng grabs his glass and asks leisurely.

Jin Yu pondered deeply, "my father always advocated the style of a big country and the rule of the world by benevolence and courtesy. As for the garrison of Liusu Island, what my father meant was to send a 10000 man army to the island, while the heavy troops were placed on the other side of the mainland, which could also cope with the situation of the island. As for the island, the chief executive will be elected in accordance with public opinion. "

"It's letting the tiger go back to the mountain! In view of the current situation on the island, it is difficult to guarantee that those people will not have delusions and take the opportunity to apply for independence. " Naturally, Yan Kecheng also received information about the upcoming procession on Liusu island. When he heard Jin Yu's words, he was worried.

Jin Yu nodded slightly in agreement, which was exactly what he was worried about.

"So..." Yan Kecheng gave a little meal and wanted to hear Jin Yu's idea. "If it was you, what would you do?"

Jin Yu's thick eyebrows picked slightly, and Xin Shi looked at him decidedly. He said in a deep voice, "200000 heavy troops are stationed on Liusu Island, 300000 troops are stationed on the other side."

Yan Kecheng nodded approvingly, which was what he thought.

"It's just that Hanlin may not think that way, and he certainly won't do it." Yan Kecheng frowned and looked worried.

"To be honest, last night, my father had discussed with the cabinet, and the deployment of tassel island was almost a foregone conclusion." Jin Yu said calmly.

"So, Hanlin has decided that he won't let me participate in the affairs about Liusu island?" Yan Kecheng asked.

Jin Yu nodded, "the troops will be transferred from the two southeast military regions. First, they are familiar with the region, and the two southeast armies always have an advantage in the Navy."

"Even if Hanlin can make the cabinet listen to his resolution and win half of the votes, it's not difficult to win enough support with my influence. Besides, there are opposition parties pushing wave to help, so it's difficult for his resolution to pass by a large number of votes, and the final result is nothing but a deadlock." What Yan Kecheng said was a promise, but it was not a lie.

Jin Yu nodded again, "but the result is undoubtedly that the snipe and the clam are competing for profits, and the ultimate damage is the interests of the island."

"Oh Yan Kecheng sneered, "you've seen your father for a long time."

"Otherwise." Jin Yu pursed his lips, "my father is not a fatuous man, but he really lost consideration on the issue of tassel island."

Yan Kecheng suddenly looks at the young man in front of him. He always thinks that the two men's father son relationship, whether in political opinions or resolutions, should be a sword of unity. However, it is obvious that this double-edged sword is now out of balance. In such a situation, he feels that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"If your advice doesn't work, I'm afraid Hanlin will put all his eggs in one basket." Yan Kecheng sighed.

Jin Yu looked down at him and said in a deep voice, "I didn't persuade my father. I know him. The things he decided can't be changed."

"Why on earth did you come to me?" Yan Kecheng asked the question again, but this time he asked more directly.

Jin Yu went to the opposite side of Yan Kecheng, leaned slightly, put his hands on the table, looked at the middle-aged man with awe inspiring eagle eyes, and said: "if I can persuade more than one third of the members, and then with the help of my uncle, I can veto my father's resolution by overwhelming votes."

Yan Kecheng was staring at by Jin Yu's hot eyes. His courage, like the overwhelming momentum of a king, almost made him feel a little out of breath. A sentence of "more than one third of the members" made Yan Kecheng more and more afraid to estimate how much strength Jin Yu had behind him.

"Aren't you doing this openly against your father?" Yan Kecheng pretended to be relaxed with a smile. Obviously, he could not believe everything.

"Of course, I won't directly take charge of it. After all, he is my father." Jin Yu's practice is understandable.

"But why do you think I'll cover it up for you?" Yan Kecheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Now I have all the secret resources in tassel island in my hands. I think my uncle must be very interested in it." Jin Yu nodded slightly, waiting for his response.

Yan Kecheng was silent, but there was a trace of desire in his eyes. Who would not be moved by such huge wealth? In this way, he seems to have formed a community of interests with Jin Yu. He needs the intelligence in Jin Yu's hands, and Jin Yu must also use the strength of his army. In this way, he really has no reason to publicly expose Jin Yu.

"But I may not be able to do it." Yan Kecheng looked down and thought deeply. In fact, in the case of Liusu Island, it will be a long-term tug of war.

"My uncle is responsible for the garrison on Liusu island." Jin Yu said firmly, "only my uncle can have such strength in this 500000 troops."

Yan Kecheng awe inspiring, "what? You mean I'm going to move more than half of my troops to a small island? Only 300000 troops will be stationed in Jinling? "

Although Yan Kecheng has always been deployed to move his troops to the south, the time has never been ripe. If he is careless, he will be pointed out. Originally, he was interested in garrisoning Liusu island and wanted to lead the troops to the south. However, he only dares to imagine about 200000 troops. The 500000 troops in Jin Yu's mouth are really attractive. It's just like adding wings to a tiger.

"The value of Liusu island is not inferior to that of Jinling." Jin Yu is awe inspiring.

"Now it's all up to you to make me believe you?" Yan Kecheng is slightly angry. Although he is ambitious, he doesn't believe Jin Yu's words.

"Uncle must believe me, for I have no reason to deceive you." Jin Yu said calmly.

Yan Kecheng disdained to smile, "don't you think that if this conversation between the two of us gets out, others will think it's impossible?"

Jin Yu took out a folder from his desk, opened it, flipped it, and pushed it to Yan Kecheng. "I've ordered someone to work out the relevant proposal. At that time, someone will submit the proposal. As long as my uncle nods, the result is inevitable."

Yan Kecheng frowned, and suddenly had a feeling of inviting the emperor into the urn. From the beginning to the end, Jin Yu had arranged everything step by step. It seemed that he was only notifying him symbolically and informing him of the final result.

Yan Kecheng is deep in thought. His ambition is not only in Jinling. If he moves to the southeast, he will be in opposition to the two military regions in the southeast. He believes that it is only a matter of time before these two armies are placed under his command. At that time, he will be further away from the layout of commanding the whole army.

All of a sudden, Yan Kecheng feels inexplicably that the position he is sitting now is becoming more and more hot. He thought that he had occupied Jin Yu's position, and he has a feeling that the guest wins the main power.

But he couldn't help thinking about it. It seemed that Jin Yu had never sat down since he entered the door and took this seat. He just paced back and forth in the huge office.

It seems that Jin Yu doesn't mind, but he is just suppressing Yan Kecheng's momentum in this way. After all, Jin Yu always looks down on him.

Before, Yan Kecheng might have thought that this was Jin Yu's respect for his elders as a junior, but now it can be a kind of morale crush, because Yan Kecheng had to lift his head and look up at another superior person from the beginning to the end.

Jin Yu, Jin Yu and Yan Kecheng silently recite the name in their hearts, and somehow they feel a kind of fright. Now Jin Yu obviously wants to help him. What about in the future? Will he use it as a coercion?

Obviously, compared with Jin Hanlin, Jin Yu was much more forward-looking and ruthless.

At least the relationship between him and Jin Hanlin has been gaining the upper hand all the way. Unexpectedly, Jin Yu has made a 180 degree turn here.

If Yan Kecheng's ambition does not lie in a gold led military region stationed in the imperial capital, Jin Yu's ambition will never be just a prime minister.

In this position, Yan Kecheng feels that he can't sit any more and has lived for decades. This is the first time for him to feel that the position he is sitting in will cause him such pressure.

He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed. Then he got up naturally and walked away from that position. He came to Jin Yu and patted him on the shoulder. "This is what a family should consider. Yan Jun's powerful power is of great benefit to you and Hanlin."

Jin Yu nodded slightly, raised his glass, slightly raised it, and took a drink. "However, I still want to suggest that my uncle can lead his troops to Liusu Island, and hand over Jinling military region to Yuchen. After all, he always has to give his father a step down."

As far as the outside world is concerned, there is no absolute reason for Yan Kecheng to sit on a small island in person. After all, there is a sense of praise and belittlement.

However, Yan Kecheng didn't think so. He had a strategy in his heart. Jin Yu also knew that Yan Kecheng's ambition was not in Liusu Island, but in the southeast two navies.

Yan Kecheng nodded and agreed.

Situ Chen has been guarding the door. Seeing Yan Kecheng coming out of the office with a trace of smoke, he can't help frowning. Boss hates the smell of smoke. No one ever dares to smoke openly in his office. This is Yan Zuo. Other people may have been beaten down to hell.

Situ Chen went in and took out the spare suit for Jin Yu from the wardrobe. He knew that he would change the clothes with the smell of smoke.

Jin Yu took the wine, poured another cup, and was not in a hurry to change it.

Situ Chen, holding a suit with a crystal bag, stood by and reported, "my wife has called. She knows that Yan Zuo has been here."

Jin Yu's cold eyes swept over him. Situ Chen felt that his back was chilly. He quickly explained: "it's because his subordinates are not good at doing things. They let people see him by accident..."

"I'm old, and my legs are not sharp?" Jin Yu scolded.

Situ Chen was in a cold sweat. Next, is he going to retire? He quickly said, "Mr. Jin, it's not going to happen again!"

Situ Chen is not a careless man, but there are many people in the Capitol building today. Jin Yu knows that he can't be blamed for this and doesn't continue to say anything.

Starting from entering the door, situ Chen saw Jin Yu standing all the time. He suddenly thought that when he just closed the door and left, Yan Kecheng sat in the position of boss. He suddenly understood and asked, "Mr. Jin, I'll have someone deal with the smell of smoke here, just this chair..."

Do you need to replace it? But he didn't ask directly.

Jin Yu gave him a cold glance.

Situ Chen nodded quickly, "understand!"

Change! It has to be changed! This clean boss
