Lost and Spy

Chapter 203
Meng Shaoyuan was officially promoted to deputy section chief, and the happy events happened one after another:
Lu Yixuan is back!

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed when he heard this.

He was always worried about what was going on in Chongqing. Lu Yixuan, Kreiter and Qiu Xingchang didn't even send a telegram.

Chongqing is the top priority.

Well now, Lu Yixuan is finally back.

He was not alone, and he brought a young man who looked to be in his twenties at most.

"Wait outside."

Lu Yixuan sent the young man away: "Boss Meng, I just heard that you have made great achievements and became the deputy section chief when I first arrived in Nanjing. Congratulations."

"Stop flattering, tell me about the situation in Chongqing quickly." Meng Shaoyuan's thoughts were all there.

"Hey, don't worry, let me moisten your throat." Lu Yixuan took a sip of tea: "Qiu Xingchang really has a way, their family is very prestigious in Chongqing, and I went to visit Mr. Qiu with him. There is nothing to say about his family style. According to your instructions, we said that Qiu Xingchang is already working for the government department, and the old man's unhappy face seems to have eased a lot..."

Mr. Qiu has a warm heart, and he heard that Lu Yixuan's boss is Qiu Xingchang's immediate boss, so he quickly settled them down in Chongqing.

Of course, the old man also felt a little strange, Lu Yixuan was a businessman, how did his boss become the immediate boss of his son, a government official?

The rules in the capital are indeed quite different from those in Chongqing.

The old man helped them find a house, and the signboard of Hang Lung Company's Chongqing Branch was hung up.

He also specially found a quiet place as Kreiter's science laboratory. Kreiter found a few bright and bright children in Chongqing to serve as his students and assistants.

The most important thing is that Kreiter's laboratory was given by Qiu's family.

"How is this possible?" Meng Shaoyuan said as soon as he heard it: "He has already helped us a lot, and we can pay as much as we want."

"Didn't I say that too?" Lu Yixuan said with a look of grievance, "The old man has two sons, but there is only one grandson like Qiu Xingchang, so he is very precious. Do you know what the old man said?"

That day, Mr. Qiu told Lu Yixuan this way:

"I didn't use that yard at first, and I didn't go there several times a year. In the past, everyone said that industry can save the country. I think that only science can save the country. This Mr. Ke is a university student, and he is still a long way away. Coming from the United States, how can we treat others badly? As long as we kids from Chongqing can learn half of his skills, what is a small yard worth?"

Meng Shaoyuan sighed when he heard this: "It seems that when I arrive in Chongqing, I will have to kowtow to the old man in person."

"Don't worry, I have already helped you honor the master."

"How to be filial?"

Lu Yixuan smiled: "Didn't we bring a cargo from Nanjing this time? Good guy, it's really difficult to travel, it's both water and land, and we have to guard against bandits. But it is precisely for this reason that our ship As soon as the goods arrived in Chongqing, they were all sold out. The price has tripled, and it is still much cheaper than the local ones in Chongqing.”

Nonsense, those are all smuggled, the price must be cheap.

Lu Yixuan went on to say: "I told Mr. Qiu that from now on, the Qiu family will be the general agent of our goods, and all shipments will go through the Qiu family. Although the profit is a little less, dealing with the police and local officials is also a big deal. It can be handed over to the Qiu family. Besides, the Qiu family has helped us so much, so we should repay others."

"Okay, Lu Yixuan, beautiful!" Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up: "You have done a good job, we can't be treated with kindness and righteousness, we are small-bellied. You can think of a way to see if you can lower the price. The Qiu family can not only make money, but also make a lot of money."

Speaking of this, he thought for a while: "I told you that the goods you stockpile cannot be released for the time being. Not only do you need to stockpile, but you also need to stockpile goods on a large scale. Don't be afraid that the funds will be suppressed. After a while, these goods will be able to increase by ten." Times, twenty times!"

"I understand, I understand." Lu Yixuan hurriedly said: "For example, medicines, I have sent people to purchase Yunnan Baiyao, sulfonamide, alcohol in large quantities in China, Hong Kong, Nanyang and other places... If it is really according to your estimate, if there is a war, These are priceless treasures."

"Lu Yixuan."

Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him, his face became serious: "These medicines are not for sale!"

"Ah, not for sale?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slowly: "Other goods, we can stock up and make a lot of money. But the medicine, I prepare it for the brothers on the front line! Once the war starts, we can't control the weapons and bullets, but this medicine , is more valuable than bullets. Maybe a single dose of medicine we have in reserve can save a brother. If I earn this money, I will be called a bastard for the rest of my life!"

It's a pity that penicillin has not been mass-produced yet, otherwise it should be a "miracle medicine".

However, there should be other alternatives that are not as effective as penicillin, but at least they can be used.

Once China and Japan go to war, there will be no shortage of medicines on the bloody battlefield.

Although I can't prevent the outbreak of war, I can at least do something.

"Understood, boss." Although Lu Yixuan felt distressed, but the boss said this, he did not dare to object: "Also, I also set up a branch office in the Shanghai International Settlement. According to your instructions, I will visit Madam Qiangwei, she also helped us a lot."

"Well, Shanghai is a fatal point, we must try to keep it. Who is in charge of the Shanghai branch now?"

"I hired a professional manager named Xu Chengbo. He is very reliable and experienced. I spent a lot of money to recruit him."

"As long as you are a talent, you can dig it. Don't be afraid to spend money. In the future, the return he will bring to us will be the same." Meng Shaoyuan wrote down the name:
"Tell him, if you need any help, you can go to Mrs. Qiangwei, and I will send a telegram to Mrs. Qiangwei later. Also, you have something to do when you come back this time.

Some of our people have family members, such as Changle, let his wife take their children to Chongqing with you.For the things at home, just take some valuables with you, and the company will pay for the rest when you get there. "

Lu Yixuan nodded silently.

From the words of the boss, it is already certain that war will definitely break out, and it is imminent.This is the beginning of a great shift.

"Set up a refugee settlement for me in Chongqing." Meng Shaoyuan's words did not end: "Prepare a lot of rice in advance. I think there will be a lot of refugees going to Chongqing. We don't have that much money to feed them. For those who stutter, it is a merit to keep them from starving to death. By the way, we can cooperate with the Qiu family to do this."

This again costs a lot of money.

Lu Yixuan pondered for a while: "Boss Meng, this is a matter for the government, can we manage it?"

"It's the government's business, but we have to take care of it." Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly: "You think, after a war, the government will focus more on the battlefield, and how to win the war will naturally have less control over the refugees. Besides, as far as our group of officials are concerned, they dare to covet the money allocated by the government to resettle the refugees. They say that I, Meng Shaoyuan, are courageous, but that group of officials has no money that they dare not covet!"

"Success, they are greedy, so let's be greedy for them." Lu Yixuan said viciously: "Boss Meng, if you are willing to support me, I will definitely find a way to make those officials spit out double the money."

Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Do you have an idea?"

"Isn't it because you have a darker heart than anyone else?" Lu Yixuan sneered: "I'm not afraid of a general's [-] soldiers, but I'm afraid of a scholar's pen. No matter how poisonous the hearts of the world are, how can they be more poisonous than a scholar? Don't forget, I But the last Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty."

"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice: "Lu Jinshi, what can you do, just let me do it. If something goes wrong, I will bear it. I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm Mr. Dai's trusted celebrity now, Damn it, we special agents can't do anything else, can't we still do it by framing, intimidating and extorting?"

These two people really have the same smell, and their words are generally shameless.

But to deal with those corrupt officials, you have to be more shameless than them!
With the support of the boss, Lu Yixuan's back became stiff: "Boss Meng, this time I brought a person back from Chongqing, that boy just now, his name is Ren Yinghao, he is 21 years old..."

"Ren Yinghao? The name is quite prestigious."

"This kid is very smart and good at handling things. I thought we Hang Lung still have so many properties in Nanjing. I am in Chongqing and I don't have many skills, so I want to keep him in Nanjing to handle those properties. By the way, there is one beside you who can use it." It is convenient for people who need money.”

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "Call him in."

After a while, Ren Yinghao walked in, his eyes were bright: "Boss Meng."

"Whatever Lu Jinshi asks you to do, you just do it." Meng Shaoyuan looked him up and down: "Make up your own mind about everything, and come to me when you have nothing to do."

"Okay, Boss Meng."

"Also, it's just in time for you to come." Meng Shaoyuan remembered one thing: "It seems to be the Chinese New Year, so I can't treat my brothers badly. For my subordinates, the team leader will give 500 yuan to celebrate the new year, and the squadron leader will get 300 yuan." ..."

He was thinking about which ones are his own, and he should pay more: "Our old-fashioned team members, each one is one hundred... Those who are not under our control, each one is fifty, and let them know that we are good... Or Yes, buy more New Year's goods, such as big pork knuckles and big herring, let the brothers live a comfortable and prosperous New Year!"

Once this year is over, it's time to prepare for war.

"Hey, good."

"Your boy is coming to Nanjing for the first time?"

"Yes, it's my first time here."

"I'll find someone to take you with me so that you can get acquainted."

"No need, Boss Meng." Ren Yinghao actually said this: "You are doing big things, if I can't do this little thing well, then go back to Chongqing as soon as possible, and I will definitely do it for you."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately became interested: "You look pretty good, kid!"
