Chapter 211: First Extortion Jeff Kozuka told the person in charge about Liu Hongmin's conditions, and the person in charge fell silent after listening. "We are now in a difficult situation!" "I think so too!" Xiaozuka Jeff said helplessly, "I didn't expect that Renjiao Society would let Liu Hongmin, a bastard, be in charge of the negotiations. This bastard is simply stubborn. If we can't offer some benefits, Liu Hongmin will definitely ruin this matter." The person in charge nodded, "It's just that we need to know what kind of benefits should be given." Jeff Kozuka reminded him, "Liu Hongmin is worth a lot of money, so he may not be interested in ordinary benefits. And he specifically said that this is compensation..." The person in charge said disdainfully: "Bullshit compensation, he just wants to use the name of compensation to pin the blame on us." Xiaozuka Jeff lowered his head and complained: We used the intelligence department to deceive them, so of course they want to pin the crime on us. Liu Hongmin is different from those officials who are easy to deceive. This guy is full of vigilance against us, otherwise he would not have seen the problem of the International Education Information Center at a glance. "Think of a way to deal with Liu Hongmin." "I'm afraid it's difficult." Xiaozuka Jeff said helplessly: "Liu Hongmin protects his family very well. We don't have any capable people here."
The person in charge looked at him like a fool and said, "This is the capital. For Liu Hongmin, Xiyuan has killed all the dangerous elements in the capital. If you dare to attack Liu Hongmin's family, you will be killed before you even get close to them." Xiaozuka Jeff looked constipated, "I was just thinking about it, I think we should find a way to get him out of the country." The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "Let the Ministry of Culture send out an invitation letter, specifically inviting Liu Hongmin to come to our country for cultural exchange." He smirked, "Let's talk about something." Jeff Kozuka's eyes lit up, "I'll do it right away." A few days later, Liu Hongmin saw the invitation letter brought by the staff and said, "Refuse them." Without even touching it. "What's the reason?" the staff asked cautiously. “They’re still blocking me!” When the staff member heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He turned and left, returning the invitation letter to Jeff Kozuka, "Comrade Liu Hongmin refuses to participate in this cultural exchange." Jeff Kozuka was stunned, "Why?" "Why?" The staff sneered, "You are still banning Comrade Liu Hongmin, how dare you invite him to participate in cultural exchanges?" Kozuka's heart skipped a beat. The ban had already been a lie. Which of Liu Hongmin's books had not been published in the four islands? The ban now was just an excuse. Liu Hongmin was just an excuse, but the Japanese couldn't find any fault with him. Although he was unhappy, Jeff Kozuka still wanted to solve the matter. He called his home country and asked the publishing department for a document to lift the ban. When the document was mailed, he immediately went to Renjiao Publishing House. He met Liu Hongmin directly and invited him in person, "Mr. Liu, our publishing department has lifted the ban on you and apologized to you——" Liu Hongmin asked: "Apology? Where's the apology letter?" Kozuka's words stopped abruptly. You slandered our great man, and you still want an apology letter? How shameless! Liu Hongmin: "No? What kind of apology is it without an apology letter? Are you just teasing me?" Xiaozuka Jeff could see that Liu Hongmin still wanted benefits. However, as long as he could deceive him, it would be worth it no matter how much it cost. He gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder how you can forgive us?" Liu Hongmin leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "Being blocked by you has caused me a lot of trouble!"
Xiaozuka Jeff was speechless and choked, wishing he could strangle Liu Hongmin to death. But he had to smile and said, "Mr. Liu, how do you want to solve this? Please don't play dumb, just tell me directly, okay?" Liu Hongmin laughed in his heart: You can't keep your cool anymore? However, he did not let his guard down. What if this little Japanese was planning something bad? "Mr. Kozuka, you have to know that you have banned me for several years, which has caused me a lot of losses." Liu Hongmin counted on his fingers, "Although my novels have been published in your country in recent years, the publicity costs have soared, and I have lost at least a million dollars every year. In recent years, at least five million dollars. Who will compensate me for this money?" Xiaozuka Jeff wiped his forehead quickly. For the entire country of the devil, five million US dollars is not a lot. But it is absolutely impossible to compensate Liu Hongmin. However, if the money is not compensated, how can Liu Hongmin let it go? "Well, Mr. Liu, five million dollars is really too much." "Mr. Xiaozhong knows too much." Liu Hongmin sneered, "I have been heartbroken every year in the past few years, and it caused me to have a heart attack. The harm you have done to me is very serious. So, Mr. Xiaozhong, please go back and apply for compensation for my losses over the years, including my mental damages and medical expenses, a total of 10 million US dollars." Jeff Kozuka's eyes widened. Your family's mental damages and medical expenses will cost five million dollars? Liu Hongmin certainly knew that he was asking for a lot, but who could blame this guy for not bargaining? Xiaozuka Jeff hadn't recovered from his shock when he walked out of Renjiao Club. Liu Hongmin was such a bastard. That was 10 million US dollars, and he really dared to ask for it. "What did you say?" The person in charge stared at Jeff Kozuka, "He wants 10 million dollars? Can you agree to that?" Jeff Kozuka: "How could I dare to agree to this? As soon as he asked for 10 million US dollars in compensation, I came back." The person in charge said seriously: "We don't think we can give him this money. If we give it to him, we will really lose face." Xiaozuka Jiefu reminded: "But if we don't agree to Liu Hongmin, our plan may fail." "Damn it!" The person in charge punched the table and said, "Send this news back to the mainland and let them find a solution. They are the ones who caused the trouble, and we can't always clean up their mess." The news was passed back to the Japanese, and soon spread among the high-ranking Japanese. The Japanese were very angry about this. When Liu Hongmin wrote "Lies" before, they wanted to kill him. Now Liu Hongmin dared to blackmail them, which was simply unreasonable. The Japanese soldiers clamored that they would never compensate Liu Hongmin, but soon their American father came to the door. After a conversation, the Japanese soldiers' arrogance disappeared. Soon, a publishing house stepped forward and publicly apologized to Liu Hongmin. Not only did they write an apology letter, but they also published it in the newspaper. When Xiaozuka Jiefu came to the door again, he felt disgusted. He really didn't want to compensate Liu Hongmin. Although he had found a small publishing house as a scapegoat, the Japanese still lost face. But the situation is stronger than people, who let the United States take action! The Plaza Accord has been signed, but what is the shortfall of 10 million US dollars? (End of this chapter)
