Lost and Spy

Chapter 469 Words from the Heart
Daniel's usefulness was vividly shown.

It passed the Japanese interrogation very easily.

There will be another encounter with Japanese warships, but there is nothing to worry about.

The flag of the British Empire can still come in handy sometimes.

Although on the waters of China, it seems a bit sad to rely on the protection of the British to sail normally.

But living is better than anything else.

The "Cambria Breaker" sailed at full speed.

The sooner you get out of here, the safer.

Meng Shaoyuan stood on the deck and lit a cigarette.

"You will pay me more, Meng." Daniel stood beside him: "You need me more and more."

"Yes, I am also really helpless." Meng Shaoyuan did not deny this at all: "Your British identity makes you very useful. But I am really not reconciled."

"There is no way, the war forces you to do this." Daniel shrugged: "I don't deny that I am a greedy person. Usually, I don't have the opportunity to make that much money, but the Japanese created this opportunity for me. As for you, you are a very smart person, but no matter how smart you are, it still looks so small in front of the war.

But do you know what luck is?Fortunately, although I am greedy, I am fully equipped with professionalism. I don't care whether the Chinese are just or the Japanese are just. I only think that money is the most just.You pay, and I do things. The more dangerous things are, the more I like them. "

"Daniel, I have to ask you something." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "If one day, the Japanese paid a sum of money, remember, a large sum of money, and asked you to betray me, what would you do? Hey, I want to hear the truth."

"I will categorically refuse." Daniel said without hesitation: "I didn't say these words in front of you, but I said them very sincerely. You are not my family, and I don't have such deep feelings for you , The relationship between me and you is more like a partner, yes, we have started a company together.

You see, what is a partner?We have to work together to run this company well. If other companies come to poach people, I will quit. In fact, I am betraying my own interests.Yes, if the Japanese would give me a lot of money in order to deal with you, but that is only for short-term benefits, and cooperating with you is a long-term benefit, and there will always be a steady stream of returns. "

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know whether to suffer or laugh.

Daniel didn't seem to be joking at all: "Do you think I'm lying? No, the war is not good for China now, so your value is higher."

"Why do you say that?" Meng Shaoyuan was curious.

Daniel thought about it there: "For example, if you are worth one hundred thousand dollars now, as the Japanese have the upper hand on the battlefield, they will not value you so much, because you alone cannot If you change the situation of the war, then during this period, your worth will not be [-] US dollars, [-], maybe even lower. If I betray you, I can get [-] or a little more, but it will definitely not exceed [-] US dollars .

But what about the relationship between you and me?That's not all.Just because the Chinese army is at a disadvantage on the battlefield now, you need me to contribute a lot, and you will continue to ask for my help when you have something to do.Maybe you can only pay me $[-] at a time, but in the long run, I will get far more than $[-] in return from you.Sir, I must remind you that this is a very simple account. "

Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he was convinced.

A person can make money with his own ability, and has such a vision, not many, you really have to obey him.

Daniel's explanation is not over: "So, when will your worth exceed one hundred thousand dollars? For example, you changed the trend of a certain battle with your own power, and after being known by the Japanese, you The value of your head will rise rapidly, and the Japanese will pay a very high price to buy your head."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Then at that time, will you betray me?"

"Still not, and I have good reasons." Daniel said with a smile: "Because at that time, you will need me more, and I can make more money from you. For example, the Japanese found me , I am willing to pay 20 US dollars to buy your head, and I can sell this important information to you at a higher price and provide you with protection."

"You're really fucking shameless." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "But I fucking like you. Really. You see, you don't hide your shamelessness at all. It's better than those guys who talk about benevolence and morality, but secretly steal men and women. "

It's easier to do business with someone like this, the relationship between them is nothing more than one word:

money!
Everything can be solved with money, throw away all the red tape, agree on a price straightforwardly, and then pay for the work.

peace of mind.

Daniel will not only be used in the future, but must be reused.

The whistle sounded, and it was time for dinner.

"Come on, Daniel, go and see what the meal I spent five thousand dollars on is like."

The British took the money and took things more seriously.

Although there are no exquisite dishes, it can at least make people full.

There are bread, milk, and even fruit after meals.

Now they are fleeing, not going to some big hotel to enjoy.

"Mr. Meng."

The cargo hold is full of people, and everyone is silently eating the distributed food.

The smell is not very good, but it is tolerable.

To be alive is better than anything else.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan coming in, Zeng Jianping, the chairman of the Nanjing Chamber of Commerce, came up with several people: "Thank you very much, thank you so much, you took us away from Nanjing."

"The danger has not been lifted yet." Meng Shaoyuan did not feel relaxed: "Just now, we encountered the Japanese boarding the ship for inspection. So you must stay here. I will arrange for you when you pass the waters controlled by the Japanese." Take turns out on the deck to bask in the sun."

"Okay, okay." Zeng Jianping agreed repeatedly: "Mr. Meng, we still have a small request."

"Please tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you within my ability."

Zeng Jianping looked a little embarrassed, but he still summoned up his courage and said: "There are so many people, I know you have tried your best to arrange and ensure our food and drink. However, we are not particularly used to eating these things."

Although he spoke hesitatingly, he could still understand that the food was not good.

For your grandma, it’s good to have a stutter. Why do you want to eat well and live well before you’re out of danger?
Zeng Jianping worried about causing the other party's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly explained: "Not everyone is like this, there are only a few people in total, can you help us improve the food?"

Meng Shaoyuan scolded a few times in his heart, you are also lucky to have left Nanjing, why don't you stay in Nanjing and give it a try?At that time, you are all willing to eat bark and grass roots.

Well, since you have made such a request, then don't blame your Meng Shaoyuan for being dark.

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "On the ship, there is a captain's meal, but you also know that the ration is limited."

"I understand, I understand." Zeng Jianping said hastily: "We are willing to add extra money. It is an emergency and we are on the ship. It doesn't hurt to add more."

Money is good.Then there is no need to be polite to you.

Meng Shaoyuan made some calculations in his mind: "Look, if you make sure there is meat, I think it will cost ten dollars for a meal for one person."

"Okay!" Zeng Jianping agreed without even thinking about it: "There are twelve of us in total, and we want to add another meal. We came out this time and brought some US dollars with us, and we paid in cash."

Is my price lower?Maybe twenty or thirty dollars they can agree?

Forget it, flies are also meat, and along the way, there are many places where they can make money.Meng Shaoyuan was not polite to them either: "You guys can make do with this meal, and I'll let the captain arrange it when it's dinner time."

"Thank you very much."

Thank you sister.

Meng Shaoyuan muttered and came to the captain's restaurant.

"Hey, Meng, I'll wait for you, and we can eat."

Captain Schiller greeted warmly.

What I ate was steak, and there were all kinds of special knives and forks.

Just like Daniel, the current Meng Shaoyuan is the God of Wealth in the eyes of Captain Schiller.

"Sir, your napkin."

A timid voice sounded.

The girl who was begged by her parents to be sent on board.

Her name is Su Yao, she is 16 years old, and her parents are both teachers.

Once on the boat, Su Yao knew that Meng Shaoyuan was her benefactor, so she took the initiative to take care of Meng Shaoyuan.

Needless to say, everything he does is methodical, and Meng Shaoyuan doesn't need to worry about it at all.

"Daniel, please pass me the pepper." Captain Schiller said.

Su Yao immediately picked up the pepper and put it in front of Captain Schiller.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked, "Do you understand English?"

"Sir, I have." Su Yao replied carefully: "My father knows English, he taught me."

"Oh, your father was an English teacher?"

"No, my father used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an English translator."

"That's pretty good, why don't you just leave the translation and go to be a teacher?"

Su Yao hesitated for a moment: "my father often said that it is extremely difficult to do diplomacy in China. He often has to look at the faces of foreigners to do things, and he feels aggrieved, so he simply quit his job as a translator."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slowly: "It's fine to say these words in front of me, and you must never mention them in front of outsiders. What is doing diplomatic affairs in China, but people with ulterior motives will make a big fuss if they hear about it."

"Sir, I know, I was wrong, and I will never dare to do this again."

"Don't call me an officer from now on, just call me Meng Shaoyuan."

Meng Shaoyuan felt that keeping this Su Yao by his side might be useful in the future.
