Meng Shaoyuan was officially promoted to deputy section chief, and the good news is one after another:

Lu Yixuan is back!

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed when he heard this.

He had always been worried about what was going on in Chongqing, and Lu Yixuan, Kret, and Qiu Xingchang didn't even have a telegram so far.

Chongqing, but it's the most important thing.

Now it's okay, Lu Yixuan is finally back.

He wasn't alone, and he brought with him a young man who looked to be in his twenties at most.

"Wait outside."

Lu Yixuan sent the young man out: "Boss Meng, as soon as I arrived in Nanjing, I heard that you have made great contributions and become the deputy section chief, congratulations." ”

"Don't be a sycophant, hurry up and tell me about the situation in Chongqing." Meng Shaoyuan's mind was all there.

"Hey, don't worry, let me moisten my throat." Lu Yixuan took a sip of tea: "Qiu Xingchang really has a way, their family is very prestigious in Chongqing, I went to visit Old Man Qiu with him, and I don't have to say anything about the style of the family." According to your instructions, we said that Qiu Xingchang was already working for the government department, and the old man's unhappy face looked relieved a lot......"

Old man Qiu was warm-hearted, and he heard that Lu Yixuan's boss was Qiu Xingchang's top boss, so he quickly settled them down in Chongqing.

Of course, the old man also felt a little strange, Lu Yixuan was a businessman, how did his boss become the top boss of his son, a government official?

The rules in the capital are very different from those in Chongqing.

The old man helped them find a house, and the sign of the Chongqing branch of Hang Lung Company was hung up.

He also found a quiet place to use as Kret's science laboratory, and Krett looked for a few smart and clever children in Chongqing to act as his students and assistants.

The most important thing is that Kret's laboratory was sent by the Qiu family.

"How can this be?" Meng Shaoyuan said as soon as he heard it: "People have already helped us a lot, and we will have to pay as much as we want." ”

"Didn't I say that?" Lu Yixuan looked aggrieved: "The old man has two sons, but Qiu Xingchang is such a grandson, so the baby is very good." Do you know what the lord said? ”

That day, Old Man Qiu told Lu Yixuan like this:

"I didn't use that yard in the first place, and I couldn't go there a few times a year. In the past, everyone said that industry could save the country, but I think that only science can save the country. This Mr. Ke is a university questioner, and he came all the way from the United States, can we treat people badly? As long as we Chongqing babies learn half of his skills, what is a small yard? ”

Meng Shaoyuan sighed when he heard this: "It seems that when I arrive in Chongqing in the future, I will have to kowtow to the old man in person." ”

"Don't worry, I've already helped you honor your master."

"How do you honor it?"

Lu Yixuan smiled: "Didn't we bring a shipload of goods from Nanjing this time?" Good guys, it's really hard to walk, it's both water and land, and you have to guard against bandits. But it is precisely for this reason that as soon as our cargo arrived in Chongqing, it was a rush and an empty sake. The price has tripled, and it is still much cheaper than the local one in Chongqing. ”

Nonsense, that's all smuggling, and the price is definitely cheap.

Lu Yixuan continued: "I told Mr. Qiu that in the future, our goods, the Qiu family will be the general agent, and all the shipments will go from the Qiu family." Although the profits are less, the matter of dealing with the police and local officials can also be handed over to the Qiu family. Besides, the Qiu family has helped us so much, so we should repay others. ”

"Okay, Lu Yixuan, beautiful!" Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up: "You have done this beautifully, you can't be benevolent to us, we have a small belly." You have to think of a way to see if you can lower the price a little more, so that the Qiu family can not only make money, but also make a lot of money. ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a while: "I let you hoard goods not be released for the time being, not only to hoard, but also to hoard goods on a large scale, don't be afraid of capital pressure, wait for a while, these goods can be increased tenfold, twenty times!" ”

"I understand, I understand." Lu Yixuan hurriedly said: "For example, medicines, I have sent people to Hong Kong, Nanyang and other places to purchase penicillin, sulfonamides, and alcohol in large quantities...... If you really want to go to war, according to your estimates, these are priceless treasures. ”

"Lu Yixuan."

Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him, and his face became solemn: "These medicines, don't sell them!" ”

"Ah, not for sale?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slowly: "Other goods, we can stock them up, and then make a big profit." But the medicine, I have for the brothers on the front! As soon as the battle starts, we can't control weapons and bullets, but this medicine is more expensive than bullets. One penicillin can save a brother. I want to make this money, and I will be scolded for being a son of a son of a son for the rest of my life! ”

Meng Shaoyuan knew too well that penicillin, that is, penicillin, was a miracle medicine in this era.

However, it is too scarce in China.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, penicillin could only be purchased from the black market in Hong Kong, one tael of gold.

Later, General Dai Anlan, commander of the 200th Division of the 5th Army of the Expeditionary Force, had no problem holding on to the country if penicillin had two branches at that time.

Not only penicillin, but also all kinds of drugs are missing.

Although he could not prevent the outbreak of war, he was able to at least do something.

"Got it, boss." Although Lu Yixuan was distressed, this was said by the boss, and he didn't dare to object: "Also, I also got a branch in the Shanghai Public Concession, and according to your instructions, I went to visit Madame Rose, and she also helped us a lot." ”

"Well, Shanghai is a critical point, and we must find ways to keep it. Who is in charge of the Shanghai branch now? ”

"It was a professional manager I hired, named Xu Chengbo, who was very reliable and experienced, and I spent a lot of money to dig it up."

"As long as it is a talent, dig it up, don't be afraid to spend money, and the return he will bring us in the future will be just as considerable." Meng Shaoyuan wrote down the name:

"Tell him that if he needs any help, go to Lady Rose, and I'll get a telegram back to Lady Rose. Also, you have something to do when you come back this time.

Some of our people have family members, such as Changle, let his daughter-in-law take the child to Chongqing with you. For the things at home, just bring some valuable soft and soft, and the rest will be settled at the company's expense when you get there. ”

Lu Yixuan nodded silently.

The boss's words are already quite certain that war will definitely break out, and it is imminent. This is the beginning of a big shift.

"Set up a refugee settlement for me in Chongqing." Meng Shaoyuan's words are not over: "Prepare a large amount of rice in advance, I think there will be a lot of refugees running to Chongqing by then." We don't have that much money to feed them, and it is a merit to give them stuttering and let them not starve to death. By the way, this can be done in cooperation with the Qiu family. ”

It's going to cost a lot of money.

Lu Yixuan pondered in his heart for a while: "Boss Meng, this is a matter for the government, can we manage it?" ”

"It's the government's business, but we have to take care of it." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "You think, when the war is fought, the government will focus more on the battlefield, how to win this war, and there will naturally be less care for refugees." Besides, as far as our officials are concerned, they dare to be greedy for the money allocated by the government to settle the refugees. It is said that I, Meng Shaoyuan, am bold, but those officials don't have the money they dare not be greedy for! ”

"Cheng, they are greedy, we will be greedy for them." Lu Yixuan said viciously: "Boss Meng, if you are willing to support me, I will definitely find a way to make those officials spit out double the money." ”

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "Do you have an idea?" ”

"Isn't it just darker than whose heart?" Lu Yixuan sneered: "I'm not afraid of the general's 100,000 soldiers, I'm afraid of Xiucai's pen." No matter how poisonous the hearts of the people in the world are, can they still be poisonous before they go to the show? Don't forget, I'm the last Jinshi of the Great Qing Kingdom. ”

"Good!" Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice: "Lu Jinshi, what can you do, let me do it." There's a mess, and I'm on top of it. I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm now Mr. Dai's cronies, fuck, we spies can't do anything else, can't we frame and intimidate and blackmail? ”

These two people really smell the same, and they are generally shameless when they talk.

But to deal with those corrupt officials, you have to be more shameless than them!

With the support of the boss, Lu Yixuan's waist pole also hardened: "Boss Meng, this time I brought back a person from Chongqing, it is the young guy just now, his name is Ren Yinghao, 21 years old......"

"Ren Yinghao? The name is quite imposing. ”

"This kid is very clever and very good at doing things, I think that we have so many industries in Nanjing, I am in Chongqing, and I have no skills, so I want to leave him in Nanjing to deal with those industries, and by the way, there is also a person by your side who can be called, and it is convenient when you want to use money."

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "Call him in." ”

After a while, Ren Yinghao walked in, and his eyes were full of wit: "Boss Meng." ”

"Whatever Lu Jinshi tells you to do, you will do it." Meng Shaoyuan looked him up and down: "Make up your own mind about everything, and come to me again when you have no choice." ”

"Okay, Boss Meng."

"Also, you're here just in time." Meng Shaoyuan remembered one thing: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, I can't treat the brothers badly, my subordinates, the team leader will each give 500 yuan for the New Year, and the squadron leader will give 300 yuan ......."

He was thinking in his heart which of his own people should send more: "Our own old team members, each of them is a hundred...... Those who were not under our control, fifty each, let them know our good ...... Also, buy more New Year's goods, what big pork knuckles and big herring, hair, let the brothers have a comfortable and prosperous year! ”

As soon as this year is over, it's time to prepare for war.

"Hey, okay."

"Your kid is coming to Nanjing for the first time?"

"yes, it's the first time."

"I'll find someone to take you with you and let you get acquainted with it."

"No, Boss Meng." Ren Yinghao actually said: "You are doing big things, if I can't do this little thing well, then go back to Chongqing as soon as possible, and I will do it for you." ”

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became interested: "You kid looks pretty good!" ”
