Lost and Spy

Chapter 612 Strange Merchant
Meng Shaoyuan straightened his clothes, and walked out of the car with Ye Rong.

Until now, Ye Rong didn't quite understand why Wu Jingyi, Assistant Wu, always persuaded herself not to perform tasks with Director Meng alone?

Can you really learn a lot from Director Meng?
Like this time.

Director Meng decided to visit the big businessman Cheng Lanxing.

Everyone in the Army's latent area in Shanghai knew that once Director Meng visited, there would be nothing good.

For example, this time, Cheng Lanxing must be unlucky again, right?

Ye Rong rang the doorbell outside the gate...

……

"Boss Meng, Boss Meng."

Cheng Lanxing was in his early 50s. He was white and fat, and his hair was combed shiny. As soon as he entered the living room, he bowed again and again: "I said, what do you call a magpie early this morning? It turns out that Boss Meng came to visit."

interesting.

This is really interesting.

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan came in, he revealed his true identity.

Ordinary traitors, or traitors wandering on the fringes, would have been terrified when they heard the word "juntong".

Can you look at Cheng Lanxing again?
Meng Shaoyuan, the Special Office of the Shanghai Latent Area of ​​the Military Command, arrived in person. Although he looked respectful, he did not show any signs of fear.

"Boss Meng, please sit down." Cheng Lanxing immediately ordered: "Serve tea, everyone go out, and you are not allowed to come in without my order."

This person is very cute, right?

Meng Shaoyuan immediately became very interested in this guy.

"Boss Meng, please have some tea." Cheng Lanxing sent the housekeeper and servants away: "Boss Meng is famous in Shanghai Beach for eradicating Japanese traitors and powerful in Shanghai. To be able to condescend to come here today really makes this place flourish .”

Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette, Cheng Lanxing quickly took the match and helped Meng Shaoyuan light it.

On the match box, the word "fairy" was written, and it was also produced in his Cheng Lanxing factory.

"Boss Cheng has a huge business." Meng Shaoyuan took a puff on his cigarette: "Toothpaste, mosquito coils, and matches are all there. I want to make a fortune."

"Boss Meng has won the award." Cheng Lanxing sat back and said, "In these years, I have indeed made some small money. The Japanese occupied Shanghai. As for me, I had no choice but to donate some supplies to the Japanese, mainly toothpaste and other daily necessities. .”

Meng Shaoyuan had dealt with many traitors, and they all justified their actions. It was really the first time he met someone like Cheng Lanxing who voluntarily admitted that he had contacts with the Japanese.

Cheng Lanxing continued there: "Boss Meng is a member of the military commander. He came to the door in person today, and he must have heard what I did. I just don't know if Boss Meng is here to kill rape, or does he have some ulterior motive?"

Judging from his expression, he was really not scared at all.

Meng Shaoyuan asked with interest: "What do you guess?"

"I don't look like an anti-rape." Cheng Lanxing blurted out without time to think: "People like me are not big treacherous and evil people, and they don't seem to be ranked in the military command's iron-blooded anti-rape order. Besides, if it is really How can someone like me work so hard that Boss Meng will come here in person? So I guess Boss Meng is only afraid of asking me for something else?"

"Boss Cheng is a smart man." Meng Shaoyuan found himself a little appreciative of this guy: "I also like to deal with smart people. If this is the case, don't waste any more time. Recently, we need a sum of money. Boss Cheng's family has a big business. , and since you are willing to donate to the Japanese, you will not be stingy with your compatriots."

"How much?"

"20 million!"

"Fiat currency?"

"Ocean!"

"no!"

Ok?
No?

Meng Shaoyuan was actually not angry at all: "Boss Cheng, I, Meng Shaoyuan, am personally involved. Isn't my face worth 20 yuan?"

"Boss Meng's face is of course not worth 20." Cheng Lanxing said with a smile: "It's worth 300 million!"

"300?"

"300 million, but it's not ocean, it's Japanese yen!"

"300 million yen?"

"That's right, 200 million of them are cash, and 100 million are military tickets issued by Japan."

"Be more specific."

Cheng Lanxing said with a faint smile: "The Japanese occupied Shanghai. Boss Ji Yunqing wanted to join the Japanese wholeheartedly, but he had concerns and dared not openly surrender to the enemy. What should we do? He changed his ways to show his loyalty to the Japanese. He made his own The disciples and grandchildren secretly summoned gentry and businessmen from Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places to donate to Japan.

He was originally a gangster leader. After Boss Huang retired and Boss Du avoided disaster in Hong Kong, he became the most powerful in the Green Gang. Those gentry dared not go against him. According to his intention, he raised 200 million yen in cash in a short period of time. note.Hehe, this season the boss is doing things for the Japanese, he really does his best and does everything he can. "

Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "What about the 100 million military tickets?"

"This is Boss Ji's good method." Cheng Lanxing sneered: "The Japanese are promoting military tickets in the occupied areas. His Boss Ji took the initiative to contract 100 million yuan, and secretly reached an agreement with the Japanese to buy 80 million military tickets with 100 cash. Tickets. However, they were forcibly sold to gentry businessmen from all over the country at the original price. He made a profit of 20 yuan just by changing hands.

This military ticket was forcibly used by the Japanese in order to exploit my Chinese property. Most ordinary people do not recognize it. Although they dare not publicly refuse to accept it, they have found a way to refuse it. It is also difficult for gentry businessmen to spend it, so Boss Ji Another idea came to mind, showdown the donations to each household, those who have military tickets can use military tickets to offset, every 100 yuan is converted into 80 yuan in cash.

For the remaining 20 yuan, another ten yuan in cash is enough.But what about the ten-dollar bill?In his own pocket again, why?Because what he donated to the Japanese was still 100 million military tickets.In this way, he made another hundred thousand.In this way, he earned 100 out of 30 just for the [-] million military ticket! "

"Okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly, "Boss Ji has really put his brains to work. He not only pleases the Japanese, but also makes himself a fortune."

Cheng Lanxing smiled again: "I know Boss Meng has always been daring. There is nothing in the world that you dare not do. I don't know if this huge sum of 300 million yen is worth 20 of my Cheng's?"

"Where are the 300 million now? How about the defense force?"

"Chengdu Luford Warehouse will be shipped to Shandong in five days. There is no Japanese bank on the front line of Shandong. According to the Japanese, it would be too troublesome to deposit the money in the bank first, then go to Qingdao to take it out, and then transport it to the front line. , Therefore, Ji Yunqing will send people directly to Shanghai. And now in the Ford Warehouse, a total of fifteen of Ji Yunqing's subordinates are guarding there."

"Weapons?" Meng Shaoyuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Twelve pistols, two mechanism guns, and a machine gun. Also, an unknown number of hand grenades."

"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan began to think quickly in his mind: "The last question, these things about Ji Yunqing, including where he hides the money and when he will leave, why do you know so clearly?"

Cheng Lanxing sighed softly: "Because I, the youngest son of someone Cheng, married a distant niece of Ji Yunqing."

Meng Shaoyuan is still not doing well, Ye Rong is the first to feel incredible when she hears this!
When he said this, Cheng Lanxing still had a nonchalant expression: "So one day when Ji Yunqing turns to the enemy, I will naturally become a traitor."

Ye Rong, who hadn't spoken all the time, couldn't help asking: "Since you know, why do you still want to do this?"

"When we became relatives back then, the Japanese hadn't called yet." Cheng Lanxing said with a smile: "At that time, Ji Yunqing was also a famous figure in Shanghai. Who else would dare to bully us? How many people want what they want, and we have to live.

This is like, Boss Meng came to ask me to get 20 today, do I have it?I have it, but I can't take it out.Because once I take it out, my working capital will be gone, my factory will be over, and half of my hard work will be wasted.Since I can't get the money out, I can only find a way to use Ji Yunqing's brain. "

"We always have to live."

Very simple sentence.

People like Cheng Lanxing, how patriotic do you think he is?I'm afraid not necessarily.

But you want to say that he is a traitor?That's not necessarily the case.

live.

If I want to survive, so must the factory I run.

Many people like him struggled to live in the cracks of military commanders, Japanese, and traitors, and if they were a little careless, catastrophe would be imminent.

Their mentality has always been trembling every day, walking on thin ice.

"Bring a pen and paper." Meng Shaoyuan said suddenly.

The pen and paper was brought over.

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while, and wrote a few lines on it, "Take it."

Cheng Lanxing took it in doubt.

That says:

"Cheng Lanxing still made contributions in the Anti-Japanese War. Meng Shaoyuan, in March of the 27th year of the Republic of China."

Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "In the future, if Ji Yunqing wins the War of Resistance, if Ji Yunqing joins the enemy, you will be implicated. Take this piece of paper as your amulet."

This is to commend him for providing such an important piece of information.

"Mr. Meng, thank you very much." Cheng Lanxing carefully put away the paper and cupped his fists: "Great kindness, I will never forget it!"

"We will investigate those who have done bad things to the end, but we will never forget those who have done good deeds." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly, "Boss Cheng, take care. If the information is accurate, the money you donated to the Japanese The matter will be written off. But if there is no such matter, I will still come to you, Boss Cheng. "

"But don't worry." Cheng Lanxing smiled slightly: "I still want to live."

Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "If you have any other information about Ji Yunqing in the future, come to me again. Every good deed you do is equivalent to getting an extra amulet for yourself. You will remember my words."

"Boss Meng, I understand. Anyone with a bit of conscience doesn't want to be a real traitor."

"It's good that you understand this truth, goodbye!"
