Chapter 602: The Peculiar Merchant

Meng Shaoyuan tidied up his clothes and walked out of the car with Ye Rong.

Until now, Ye Rong didn't understand too much, why did Wu Jingyi and Assistant Wu always persuade herself not to perform tasks with Director Meng alone?

Director Meng can really learn a lot of things?

Like this time.

Director Meng decided to pay a visit to Cheng Lanxing, a big businessman.

Everyone in the military commander's Shanghai lurking area knew that once they were visited by Director Meng, it would be guaranteed that nothing good would happen.

For example, Cheng Lanxing this time is about to be unlucky again, right?

Ye Rong rang the doorbell outside the gate......

……

"Boss Meng, Boss Meng."

Cheng Lanxing was in his early fifties, white and fat, his hair was combed and shiny, and as soon as he entered the living room, he made a gesture: "I said what do you call a magpie early this morning, it turned out that Boss Meng was here." ”

Interesting.

It's really interesting.

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

Ordinary traitors, or traitors who wander on the edge, have long been frightened when they hear the word "military commander".

Can you take a look at Cheng Lanxing again?

Meng Shaoyuan, the special office of the Shanghai Hidden Area of the Military Command, arrived in person, and although he looked respectful, he did not look scared.

"Boss Meng, please take a seat." Cheng Lanxing then ordered: "Serve tea, everyone goes out, and you are not allowed to come in without my instructions." ”

This person is very well-behaved, huh?

Meng Shaoyuan immediately became interested in this guy.

"Boss Meng, please use tea." Cheng Lanxing sent away the housekeeper and subordinates: "Boss Meng is famous in Shanghai, eradicating Japanese traitors, and shocking Shanghai, and being able to deign to come here today really makes this place flourish." ”

Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette, and Cheng Lanxing hurriedly took the foreign fire and helped Meng Shaoyuan light it.

On the foreign fire box, the word "fairy" is written, which is also produced by his Cheng Lanxing factory.

"Boss Cheng's industry is very big." Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette: "What toothpaste, mosquito coils, matches, that's everything, I want to get rich." ”

"Boss Meng has won the award." Cheng Lanxing sat back and said: "Over the years, I have indeed made some small money, the Japanese occupied Shanghai, and I, out of desperation, also donated some materials to the Japanese, mainly toothpaste, which is a daily necessity." ”

Meng Shaoyuan has dealt with many traitors, all of them are quibbling for their own actions, and it is really the first time that Cheng Lanxing has taken the initiative to admit that he has dealings with the Japanese.

Cheng Lanxing continued there: "Boss Meng is a member of the military command, and he came to the door in person today, and I think he heard what I did. I just don't know if Boss Meng is here to hoe and rape, or if he has ulterior motives? ”

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

Meng Shaoyuan asked with interest: "Guess?" ”

"I don't look like a hoe." Cheng Lanxing didn't have time to think about it and blurted out: "A person like me is not a big traitor, and it doesn't seem to be ranked in the military commander's iron-blooded hoe and rape order." Besides, if I really want to hoe and rape, how can I work until Boss Meng comes in person? So I guess that Boss Meng is just afraid that there is something else to do with me, right? ”

"Boss Cheng is a smart man." Meng Shaoyuan found that he admired this guy a little: "I also like to deal with smart people, since that's 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 he is willing to donate to the Japanese, he will not be stingy with his compatriots. ”

"How much?"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Fiat?"

"Ocean!"

"Nope!"

Well?

No?

Meng Shaoyuan was not angry at all: "Boss Cheng, I, Meng Shaoyuan, personally went out, isn't my face worth 200,000 oceans?" ”

"Boss Meng's face, of course, is not worth 200,000." Cheng Lanxing smiled and said, "It's worth three million!" ”

"Three million?"

"Three million, but it's not the ocean, it's the yen!"

"Three million yen?"

"That's right, two million of them are in cash, and one million is a military ticket issued by Japan."

"Let's be more detailed."

Cheng Lanxing smiled faintly and said: "The Japanese occupied Shanghai, and Boss Ji Yunqing and Ji were bent on taking refuge in the Japanese, but he had concerns and didn't dare to openly defect to the enemy, what should I do?" Changing ways to show loyalty to the Japanese. He asked his disciples and grandchildren to secretly gather squire merchants in Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places to donate money for Japan.

He was originally a big hooligan leader, after Boss Huang retired and Boss Du avoided Hong Kong, the Qing Gang had the greatest power, and those squires did not dare to disobey him, according to his will, he raised two million yen in cash in a short period of time. Hehe, this season, the boss is doing things for the Japanese, and he really does his best, and he does everything. ”

Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "What's the matter with the one million military tickets?" ”

"This is Boss Ji's good method." Cheng Lanxing sneered: "The Japanese implemented military tickets in the occupied areas, and he Boss Ji took the initiative to contract one million, and secretly reached an agreement with the Japanese to buy one million military tickets with 800,000 cash. But he was forcibly sold to gentry and merchants all over the country at the original price, and he made 200,000 yuan from this change.

This military ticket was forcibly used by the Japanese in order to exploit our Chinese property, and most of the people did not recognize it, although they did not dare to openly refuse to accept it, but they found a way not to, and it was difficult for the gentry and merchants to spend it, so he Boss Ji thought of an idea again, showdown to the donations of each household, and those who had military tickets in their hands could use military tickets to offset them, and every 100 yuan was converted into 80 yuan in cash.

For the remaining twenty dollars, ten dollars in cash is enough. But what about the ten dollars? It's in his own pocket again, why? Because what he donated to the Japanese was a million military tickets. In this way, he made another 100,000 yuan. After coming and going like this, with this million military tickets alone, he made 300,000 yuan! ”

"Okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "He, Boss Ji, is really a brainstorm, not only to please the Japanese, but also to make a lot of money." ”

Cheng Lanxing smiled again: "I know that Boss Meng has always dared to act, and there is nothing in the world that you dare not do, I don't know that this huge sum of 3 million yen may be worth my Cheng's 200,000?" ”

"Where are the three million now? What about the defense forces? ”

"Chengdu Luford warehouse, five days later, there is no Japanese bank on the front line in Shandong, according to the Japanese meaning, if the money is deposited in the bank first, and then go to Qingdao to take it out, and then transported to the front line, it is too troublesome, so Ji Yunqing will send someone directly out of Shanghai. And now in the Fude 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 flower traps, one machine gun. At the same time, there were an unknown number of grenades. ”

"Good!" Meng Shaoyuan began to think about it quickly in his heart: "Last question, these things about Ji Yunqing, including where he hid the money and when he set off, why do you know so clearly?" ”

Cheng Lanxing sighed softly: "Because of my Cheng someone's youngest son, he married a distant niece of Ji Yunqing. ”

Meng Shaoyuan hasn't done anything yet, Ye Rong has already felt incredible for the first time when he heard this!

When he said this, Cheng Lanxing still looked careless: "So if Ji Yunqing defects to the enemy one day, I will naturally become a traitor." ”

Ye Rong, who had never spoken, couldn't help but ask: "Since you know, then do you still want to do this?" ”

"When we became relatives, the Japanese hadn't called yet." Cheng Lanxing smiled and said: "At that time, Ji Yunqing was also a man of the year in Shanghai, if those of us who do business, if we can cling to this relative, let's ask, who will dare to bully us in the future?" How many people can't ask for it, we have to live.

It's like, today Boss Meng came to ask me to get 200,000 yuan, do I have it? I have it, but I can't take it out. Because once I take it out, my working capital is gone, my factory is finished, and half of my life's work is in vain. Since I can't come out with the money, I can only find a way to use Ji Yunqing's brain. ”

"We have to live."

It's a simple word.

People like Cheng Lanxing, how patriotic do you say he is? I'm afraid it may not be.

But you want to say that he is a traitor? Not necessarily.

Stay alive.

I have to live, and the factory I started must also live.

Many people like him are caught in the cracks of military commanders, Japanese, and traitors to barely live, and if they are not careful, disaster will befall them.

Their mentality has always been to tremble and walk on thin ice every day.

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

Pen and paper were taken.

Meng Shaoyuan groaned slightly, and wrote a few lines on it, "Take it." ”

Cheng Lanxing took it suspiciously.

It reads:

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

Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "In the future, if Ji Yunqing surrenders to the enemy, you will inevitably be implicated." Use this piece of paper as your talisman. ”

This is a reward for providing such an important piece of information.

"Chief Meng, thank you." Cheng Lanxing carefully put away the paper and hugged his fist: "Great kindness, no teeth are unforgettable!" ”

"We will definitely investigate those who have done bad things, but we will not forget those who have done good things." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Boss Cheng, take care." If the information is accurate, the donation you made to the Japanese will be written off. But if it hadn't been for this, I'd have 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 time you do one more good deed, it will be equivalent to having one more talisman for yourself, and you will keep my words in mind." ”

"Boss Meng, I understand. But no one who has a little conscience wants to be a real traitor. ”

"If only you understood this, take your leave!"
