Chapter 609: Pondering Your Thoughts

"Fuck, you're looking for me if you lose something in a play?"

Meng Shaoyuan's appearance looked a little annoyed.

This is a telegram taken by Dai Li.

The reason is simple:

The fifteen boxes of the famous movie star Ms. Hu Die were lost.

is the famous Hu Die who makes movies.

After the fall of Shanghai in 1937, Hu Die and her husband Pan Yousheng avoided Hong Kong.

Then, at the end of December, she asked someone to pack 15 boxes of family property that she had too late to take away in Shanghai, ready to be transported to Hong Kong.

The problem is that all 15 of these boxes have been stolen.

After Hu Die heard about it, he fell seriously ill.

Later, she asked people in many ways and met Dai Li.

This Hu Die is the goddess in Mr. Dai's mind.

Since the goddess was in trouble, Mr. Dai patted his chest and promised to help her find fifteen boxes.

For this task, Mr. Dai naturally thought of his first favorite in Shanghai:

Meng Shaoyuan!

But the problem is that Meng Shaoyuan can't do such a thing at all.

The situation in Shanghai was so tense that he and the Japanese were at loggerheads.

A drama loses something, and it's not military intelligence, it's your own business?

"Yes, the situation is difficult, and Shanghai is in dire straits." Wu Jingyi rarely stood on Meng Shaoyuan's side: "It's true that Hu Die is an influential movie star, but she lost something and can be handed over to the patrol room to deal with. ”

"There's no way, who let our Mr. Dai ......" Meng Shaoyuan said here and kept silent.

Wu Jingyi glanced at him, and the meaning in her eyes couldn't be more obvious:

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.

Meng Shaoyuan knew what she was thinking, but he just didn't know.

"You can take care of this matter."

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "It is best to be able to find it, but Shanghai Beach is so big, and it has been lost for a long time, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." I see it difficult. ”

"Then if you really can't find it, explain the truth directly to Director Dai?"

"The truth? Do you know what the truth is? Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The truth is that Mr. Dai also knows that time has passed for a long time, and it is impossible to find it, and also, how big is the box?" What's in it? Didn't say anything. There is no information, where can we find it? But we still have to find it. ”

Wu Jingyi is also a smart person, and when she heard it, she suddenly realized: "That means, let us pay out of our own pockets?" ”

"yes, that's the truth." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "Don't care if these fifteen boxes can be found, don't care what these boxes contain, in short, we will fill the fifteen boxes and return them to this big star at that time." ”

Now, Wu Jingyi finally understands why Meng Shaoyuan is so favored by Director Dai.

Of course, strong business ability is one of the important reasons, and the other aspect is that he is too good at understanding the mind of his boss.

Director Dai only had a simple telegram, and he immediately understood what to do and how to do it.

"Director Dai, this is knowing that you have money." Wu Jingyi smiled: "Your boss Meng has a lot of money and a big family, so it's nothing to make up for these out of pocket." ”

"No, no, you're wrong again." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "Mr. Dai, since he uses you, he will definitely convince you, and his subordinates will pay out of their pockets to make up for a play, if he really does it, how can he convince the public?" ”

Wu Jingyi didn't particularly understand: "Then the meaning of this telegram ......"

"Wait." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "There will be a new telegram." ”

As soon as the words fell, a telegraph operator walked in, holding a telegram in his hand: "Wuhan side secret telegram. It is dedicated to Director Meng. ”

"Read."

"Yes. Investigate Cheng Lanxing, a businessman in Shanghai, who colluded with the Japanese and made a fortune in a national disaster...... They can still be saved, and they should be punished and make a modest contribution to the country......"

"Got it, let's get out."

Meng Shaoyuan let the newspaper operator walk out: "Assistant Wu, do you understand now?" ”

Everything was said by him, Wu Jingyi really admired the five-body cast, this person's character is still to be discussed, but there is no one who can figure out the boss's thoughts.

Director Dai means that the property lost by the butterfly has made this Shanghai businessman Cheng Lanxing out.

"Cheng Lanxing, a veteran businessman in Shanghai." Wu Jingyi is familiar with this information: "I used to make a fortune by making toothpaste, and later I specialized in women's business, and my business doubled and expanded, specializing in toothpaste, mosquito coils, and soap, and I made a lot of money...... The Japanese invaders occupied Shanghai, and in order to protect himself, he donated some materials to the Japanese invaders, but there were no major evil deeds. ”

"Count him unlucky." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly.

"The question is, how much money is he going to take out? After all, Director Dai did not clearly say how much property the butterfly had lost. ”

"Actually, it's easy to calculate." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Butterfly got the highest monthly salary that movie stars could get at that time, 2,000 yuan per month, and the star film company gave her a total of 1 year, that is, 24,000 yuan. Before leaving, it seemed that he still owed her a thousand yuan, and he made up a whole number, twenty-five thousand.

Later, her monthly salary was 1,000 yuan, and we couldn't control the extra money, even if she got 1,000 yuan every month until 1937, and for eight years, it was 96,000 yuan, let's make up a whole number, 100,000 yuan. Add the two together, 125,000 yuan. If you count the interest or something, don't bother with it, it's calculated according to 150,000.

We don't know what she has in her box, whether it's a necklace, gold, silver or jewelry, it has nothing to do with us, but since Mr. Dai is interested in befriending Ms. Butterfly, the belongings in this box should be more than less. These fifteen boxes will be combined into one box, or don't bother with it, and return a total of 200,000 yuan. ”

This account is a confused account, but it is also a clear and clear account.

Meng Shaoyuan was a little mocking: "What about this butterfly, she brought at least half of her family property to Hong Kong, and it is estimated that half of it is not left in Shanghai, and now she is given 200,000 yuan, which is more than what she has earned in ten years as a movie star, and she will definitely be grateful to Mr. Dai." ”

"Director Meng." Wu Jingyi suddenly said: "If you are an official for ten years, this official must be very big." ”

"Don't flatter me, I'm a dignified high-ranking intelligence officer, and I would do such a thing." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "When you are an official, how to be an official, how to be a good person, it's difficult." Assistant Wu, Cheng Lanxing is there, I'll go, get the money, do you know what to do? ”

"Yes."

Wu Jingyi didn't have time to think about it and blurted out: "We tried our best to collect clues and finally found the robbers, but the property in the fifteen boxes was sold and squandered by the robbers. We found the backers of these robbers, and they regretted it when they heard that they had robbed the famous Ms. Hu Die, so they were willing to take the initiative to compensate 200,000 yuan. ”

"Yes, take the initiative to compensate." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and stretched: "The most unlucky thing is Cheng Lanxing, this really makes people sit at home, and disaster comes from the sky." ”

"Director Dai was specially selected for him." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "If he didn't cooperate with the Japanese, naturally there would be no such disaster." ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "This person, if you want me to say that no matter what time it is, it's better to be honest and selfless!" ”
