Chapter 550: Righteousness is thin and cloudy
Thousands of people shouldn't, they shouldn't have said the amount of money in front of Meng Shaoyuan.
What would it be like for a big fat sheep to be targeted by a big bad wolf?
Liu Guitang, a miscellaneous man, was co-opted and took refuge with the Japanese, and now he has contradictions with the Japanese, and is ready to engage in the so-called "anti-Japanese resistance anyway".
Soon, he will take refuge with the Japanese.
Moreover, the trouble of Lunan's henchmen is a disaster for the land of Lunan.
Originally, Meng Shaoyuan didn't take him to heart, a traitor, far away in Shandong, his hand couldn't stretch out so long, just let him fend for himself.
Anyway, this guy didn't end well in the end.
But when he heard that Liu Mancai had brought two million oceans, Meng Shaoyuan's mind changed in an instant.
Kill him!
Get rid of a pest in the Lunan region.
Even if he is in Shanghai, he must find a way to kill him!
The husband is innocent and guilty, this sentence is really inappropriate for Liu Guitang, but it really has some meaning.
Originally, according to the normal historical process, Liu Guitang would negotiate smoothly with Yan Xishan in Shanghai, and then accept the reorganization, and he could survive for several years before being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
But now, just because Liu Man said two million oceans, Liu Guitang's fate was changed all of a sudden.
The headquarters of Jincheng Bank was originally in Tianjin, but after the Lugouqiao Incident, the headquarters was moved to the Shanghai Public Concession to continue to guide the branches.
Liu Guitang hid in Tianjin for a long time, and all the property he plundered when he was a bandit was deposited in Jincheng Bank, and this is probably one of the reasons why he chose to negotiate in Shanghai, right?
Meng Shaoyuan's attitude changed suddenly: "Ah, investing in Shanghai, that is to be cautious, especially in this period of war, you can't be careless at all." And this beach, Brother Liu, you don't know the situation......"
This title has changed and has become "Brother Liu".
Liu Mancai's bones were lighter.
Na Tao Liqing personally told the Liu brothers that Meng Shaoyuan on the beach was deeply trusted by Dai Li, calling for wind and rain, and the Japanese were afraid when they saw him.
As long as there is his help, there is nothing that cannot be done.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Guitang was ruthless, took out the priceless jade bowl, and handed it to Liu Mancai to get acquainted with Meng Shaoyuan.
This is called saving the belly of others with one's own heart.
Who doesn't love money? In the face of heavy profits, everyone is greedy, although he Meng Shaoyuan is a military commander, he will not get along with money, right?
Now, Director Meng actually calls himself "Brother Liu"?
Although Tao Liqing has worked in Shanghai, he only knows how capable Meng Shaoyuan is, and he is not a person in Meng Shaoyuan's inner circle, of course, he will not know that this Young Master Meng is not only ruthless to the Japanese, but also notoriously greedy for money.
Flies flew in front of him, and he had to find a way to pluck out his wings to see if it was braised or steamed.
"Brother Liu." Meng Shaoyuan put his heart in his heart and said seriously: "What about Shanghai Tang, since the opening of the port, it has been a mixture of fish and dragons, three religions and nine streams, and there are all kinds of people." In particular, there are more robbers and swindlers, and many traders who come to Shanghai to do business have fallen for those swindlers because they have not noticed it for a while, and they have lost their wealth and lost all their money. How many corpses of bankrupt businessmen are there in this Huangpu River every year, hey......"
A sigh moved Liu Mancai.
Director Meng actually said this to himself without concealing it.
He's real, and he's never seen what a "bad guy" is. Liu Guitang is a bad person, and he is just a bandit, when he was rampant in Shandong, everyone was afraid when they saw him, and it was too late to run, who dared to lie to him?
Liu Mancai helped him get some property, and he was also arrogant, even when he was a public servant in Tianjin, relying on the relationship with the Japanese, he always said the same, and he never had to worry about being deceived.
What is a real "bad guy"?
It's not about putting murderous looks on your face, it's not about screaming and screaming at every turn to kill people.
Since the establishment of the public concession, it has become a paradise for swindlers, and those swindlers have deceived merchants from other places into life rather than death, and the so-called "bankrupt family and ruined family" is not false at all.
Flash people don't nod their heads, but these people often make you want to live but not die.
That's the "bad guys".
For example, Meng Shaoyuan.
How many people were deceived by the "sincerity" of his face?
For example, Liu Mancai is slowly walking into a trap.
He probably never dreamed that they were used to being in Shandong and Tianjin, and when they arrived in Shanghai, they had just met Meng Shaoyuan, and they had specially given such a generous gift, but Meng Shaoyuan was thinking about how to seize wealth...... Homicide!
"Originally, these are none of my business, whether there are many liars or few, I am a military commander, and I do things that serve the country." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "But your brother Liu is humble, loyal and duty-oriented, and gave me such a big gift, as for me, I have no other advantages, that is, I am willing to stick a knife in the ribs for my friend."
Brother Liu, listen to my advice, in the future, you have two million oceans in Jincheng Bank, don't tell people, people's hearts are separated from the belly, if it leaks out, those hooligans and ruffians on the beach will target you one by one, whether it is kidnapping or extortion, or killing people and extorting goods, it matters, you must remember. ”
Liu Mancai was moved and scared at the same time.
I have heard that although Shanghai is a world of flowers, it is very complicated, the water is very deep, although there is gold everywhere, it depends on whether you have the life to pick it up.
Fortunately, I met Meng Shaoyuan and reminded myself in time.
"Chief Meng, so I have to ask you for help." Liu Mancai said hurriedly.
"Brother Liu, if you can afford me, call me brother." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "I'm a person who has always looked down on money, but since you treat me as a friend, I will give up my life to protect you." In this way, I will send you two people to protect you day and night, hehe, who would dare to move the people of my military command? ”
"Chief Meng...... No, man, thank you, thank you. Liu Mancai is infinitely grateful, and really regards Meng Shaoyuan as a confidant in his life.
Do you think, the two military commanders protect themselves, what do you have to worry about in Shanghai?
"As for investment." Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "There are many investment opportunities in Shanghai, especially in the current war period, which seems to be dangerous everywhere, but in fact there are opportunities everywhere. But we still need to be cautious and be sure to see before we can invest. Your brother treats me as a friend, I can't do anything to make my friends suffer, that is not a penny of loss.
That's it, anyway, you have to report to Liu Guitang about the results of the negotiation, let's not be in a hurry for a while, I expect my brother to live in Shanghai permanently, take care of Shanghai business, let's take our time, just a little, it's not a stable deal, our money is absolutely not able to take out, you look at it yourself, and I will help you keep an eye on it. ”
"Brother Gaoyi." Liu Mancai gave a thumbs up: "It is a great blessing in life to be able to meet Brother Meng in Shanghai." ”
In his head, like most people, Meng Shaoyuan was a fierce general, if he said anything about killing Japanese people and catching traitors, he must be cautious when cooperating with him.
But if he is going to kill people and cheat people out of money, Liu Mancai will never believe it, he is a party-state officer, and he can do such a thing during the extraordinary period of the Anti-Japanese War?
I didn't believe it when I killed him.
"This word of thanks, wait until the deal is completed." Meng Shaoyuan was light: "But since you want to cooperate with me, what about this profit sharing......
Finally, it's time to get to the point.
If money is not mentioned, Liu Mancai will not believe it, since the profit distribution is mentioned, Liu Mancai no longer has doubts: "This is easy to say, what does Brother Meng mean?" ”
"As for me, I don't have much to say right now." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "I still have to think carefully about what kind of business to do, but I have said it first, no matter what kind of business it is, I have to take out the money with real money, but I can't let you invest all of it, brother, so that first, it can show my sincerity of cooperation, and second, I can also share the risk of my brother." ”
Liu Mancai was moved.
Originally, he just wanted Meng Shaoyuan to provide protection in Shanghai, but now he actually mentioned that he took the initiative to take out the money, this sincerity, it will never be wrong.
Only by bundling interests together will the other party do things sincerely.
"Brother Meng is refreshing." Liu Mancai gave a thumbs up: "Then I'm not welcome, so let's do it, no matter what business you want to do in the future, the money you earn, and no matter how much Brother Meng invests, I will always give you an extra share." ”
"Let's talk about it." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "The person I sent to protect my brother will arrange it in a while." Brother, you have a good rest here, and at night, I will let them take you around Shanghai, and I will be responsible for all expenses. ”
"Hey, brother, that's so embarrassing."
"Brother, don't be polite to me." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and picked up the box containing the jade bowl: "You have given me such a big gift, how can I not fail to enjoy the friendship of the landlord?" ”
"Then you're welcome, I'll send you." Liu Mancai sent him to the door, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, brother, I want to contact our chief Liu and report to him the progress in Shanghai, but from Shanghai to Shandong, the contact is extremely inconvenient, I don't know if my brother can help me think of a way?" ”
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Is there a radio station in Liu Guitang?" ”
"Yes, yes." Liu Mancai hurriedly said: "Chief Liu bought a radio station at a high price, which is specially used for contact. ”
"That's going to be easy." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I am the director of the Special Office of the Shanghai District of the Military Command, and I will help you get a radio station for the department's contact, it is a simple matter, don't worry, I will get the radio station for you within a day." ”
"Thank you so much, thank you so much."
Liu Mancai was grateful.
This trip to Shanghai was really smooth, mainly because I met Meng Shaoyuan, a good brother, with his help, what else can't be done?
Greater Shanghai is really a good place!
