Chapter 536: Life is better than death
What is the concept of $200,000?
That's an astronomical sum.
Even in the United States, a bachelor apartment pays $25 a month, a hot dog for 5 cents, a movie ticket for 20 cents, most magazines for 10 cents, and a meal for 45 cents.
So, this is also a huge amount of money that is enough to make the vast majority of Americans dizzy.
So it's no wonder Xu Xinqiang became so excited.
A bottle of genuine American imported wine was brought up.
"Please, please."
Xu Xinqiang diligently poured wine for the other party.
After a drink, seeing that Meng Shaoyuan only cared about drinking and eating, Xu Xinqiang couldn't help it: "I don't know what Boss Meng said about the deal?" ”
"By the way, I haven't told you what the deal is." Meng Shaoyuan looked suddenly realized: "You give me 200,000 US dollars." ”
"Huh?" Xu Xinqiang was stunned, and then accompanied by a smile: "Boss Meng is really joking." ”
"No kidding." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "This deal is that you give me 200,000 US dollars." ”
Xu Xinqiang's face became gloomy: "Boss Meng is coming to me to fight the autumn wind?" Brother, I have been in Shanghai for so many years, Qing helped me deal with it, and I also dealt with the axe that was rampant on Shanghai Beach back then. If you have any difficulties, I will give you the passage fee. But $200,000 is a lion's mouth, right? ”
"No, no." Meng Shaoyuan gulped down the food, and was a little vague when he spoke: "Two hundred thousand dollars to buy your whole family's life, it's worth it." ”
Xu Xinqiang's face changed greatly, and he glanced at the housekeeper, who understood and quietly slipped out.
"Brother, on which road?" Xu Xinqiang was stalling there.
Meng Shaoyuan just didn't see anything: "The right way." ”
"The right way?" Xu Xinqiang sneered: "This extortion is also the right way? ”
"Of course it's the right way."
Meng Shaoyuan finally stopped his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Xu Xinqiang, you colluded with the Japanese in private, betrayed the interests of your compatriots, oppressed your compatriots and forced you to sell your factories and send military supplies to the Japanese army, and you are willing to act as a shameless traitor." These 200,000 dollars are not enough to buy your life, and now I have given you a discount, which can buy your whole family's life, but the discount is only for today! ”
Ye Rong almost laughed as she listened.
Director Meng really talked about business seriously, what other discounts are there for only one day?
Xu Xinqiang broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
Who is this man? Why are you so clear about yourself?
Now, what is needed is to procrastinate as much as possible.
"Boss Meng, you let me think about it, let me think about it." Xu Xinqiang, who had made up his mind, said.
"You think, I'll give you time to think about it." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care at all and picked up the chopsticks again.
"Who the fuck dares to make trouble in Boss Xu's house!"
Half an hour passed, and the butler walked in with a person.
As soon as the man entered, he exclaimed in a loud and menacing voice, "Are you impatient?" ”
"Me." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly.
"You ......"
The man took two steps forward, and was about to shout majestically, when he saw the other party's face clearly, and his face suddenly became colorless: "Ouch, it's Boss Meng, I should die, I should die." ”
After saying that, he really "snapped" and slapped him.
Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Golden Axe, you dare to meddle in my affairs?" ”
Under Ji Yunqing, the boss of the Thirteenth Taibao Golden Axe Jin Shanxiu!
Xu Xinqiang and the housekeeper were stunned.
This golden axe is the boss of the Thirteenth Taibao, a figure who dominates the beach.
But when you see this young man, you actually gave yourself a slap?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't talk to him either: "Get out!" ”
"Yes, I'll get out, I'll get out!"
The golden axe was embarrassed, thinking that he had taken a lot of benefits from Xu Xinqiang on weekdays, it was too unrighteous to leave like this, and he quietly said to Xu Xinqiang:
"Boss Xu, you can do whatever this master asks you to do."
Xu Xinqiang was stupid.
When the golden axe left in a panic, Xu Xinqiang cheered up and asked boldly: "Boss Meng, let me talk more, what kind of business are you doing?" ”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I am the military commander Meng Shaoyuan!" ”
I am the military commander Meng Shaoyuan!
Xu Xinqiang's head almost exploded with a "boom".
Military commander, Meng Shaoyuan!
Oh my God, how did this god of killing find himself?
The military commander Meng Shaoyuan, the common people naturally don't know much, but this name is famous among the Japanese and traitors.
Who can hide from the people he wants to kill?
Meng Shaoyuan said with a cold face: "Xu Xinqiang, you know the military commander's iron-blooded hoe order, your name is not on it yet, do you need me to add it to you?" ”
"Don't, don't."
Xu Xinqiang broke out in a cold sweat.
What are you kidding, it's fun for the military commander to hoe and rape the order?
Meng Shaoyuan's name is like thunder among traitors, and the military commander's hoeing order is not a talisman for them?
Are there any people on this list who can survive?
"You want to rely on the Japanese as your backer, but the Japanese are too busy to take care of themselves now." Meng Shaoyuan picked up the wine glass and shook it: "I want to kill you, but no one can protect you." You have a wife, three children, count you, five people, a life of 40,000 US dollars, this is not expensive, ah, I will help you kill this person for free! ”
He pointed to the butler.
The housekeeper shuddered.
Who are you messing with?
"Mr. Meng, Mr. Meng." Xu Xinqiang knows too well that once you are targeted by the military commanders, you don't need to quibble about your own affairs at all, even if there is no evidence, they will still kill you, and the only thing you can do now is to beg for mercy: "I did some foolish things, and I also sold some light bulbs and electrical equipment to the Japanese."
But I really have no choice, the Japanese occupied Shanghai, a small businessman like me, I dare not be an enemy of them, I still have such a large family. My brother is willing to change his past mistakes and make some contributions to the Anti-Japanese War, but for 200,000 US dollars, even if I sell this house and my factory, I will definitely not be able to raise this money. ”
The Great Light Cinema showed a movie on the first day of the new year, which made the so-called reception of the Japanese a big foreign appearance.
Now the Japanese are in a mess, in the third year of junior high school, Xu Xinqiang went to greet the Japanese who were familiar with each other and brought a lot of gifts, originally to please the other party, but who would have thought that after meeting and chatting a few words, they unceremoniously sent him away.
From that day on, Xu Xinqiang knew that the Japanese were really in trouble.
And if you want to kill someone like yourself, how can the Japanese protect themselves without dying?
Spending money to eliminate disasters, Xu Xinqiang still understands this truth.
The question is, where is he going to get 200,000 dollars?
"Boss Xu, I'm a person who likes to give others opportunities."
Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "Spend money to save your life, you pay for it, I don't have to pursue the matter of being a traitor." 200,000 US dollars, not a penny less. It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, I'll come to pick it up in person, this time is enough for you to raise money, by the way, I'll bring a ticket that day. ”
Either money or life.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers rang out again.
Seeing that Xu Xinqiang still wanted to bargain with himself, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly took out his gun.
Xu Xinqiang was so frightened that his feet went soft.
"Bang bang bang"!
Meng Shaoyuan fired three shots at the wall, then put away the gun and pointed at the three holes in the wall: "If I can't see the money, next time, these three shots will hit your head." ”
When he stood up and was about to leave, he didn't forget to remind him "kindly": "Don't think about running away, my people will keep an eye on you twenty-four hours a day, as long as you dare to escape, your whole family will not survive." ”
……
"Director Meng, can Xu Xinqiang get 200,000 US dollars?"
As soon as she got into the car, Ye Rong asked. She never thought that Director Meng's so-called taking her to perform a special task was actually to "extort".
"Of course he can't." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Even if he sells all his property, he doesn't even have half of the money." ”
"Then you ......" Ye Rong didn't quite understand.
"A traitor doesn't necessarily have to kill him." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Of course you can get angry by killing him, but from another angle, why should these people be traitors?" They want to live, they want to be prosperous and rich, they want to be a dog in front of the Japanese. But what if you stripped him of everything? ”
His property, his status, his factory, his savings, his car, the house he lived in......
When everything is taken away, he will be worse off than dead.
Ye Rong suddenly understood: "In that case, these traitors might as well die." ”
"Dead?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "If they really have the courage to die, they won't be traitors." They know that they will die if they lose everything, but they are still desperate to save their lives. In their eyes, their lives are more important than anyone else, anything. ”
It's scary.
Director Meng analyzed the weaknesses of these traitors so clearly.
These traitors are also unlucky when they meet Director Meng, and when others deal with traitors, they will be shot at most, but what about Director Meng? He wants you to taste the pain of losing everything.
"Ye Rong, you go do something."
"What?"
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "The current Xu Xinqiang must still be hesitating about whether to pay this money, you will guard at the door of his house tomorrow, and when his housekeeper comes out, kill that housekeeper, it can be regarded as a reminder to him." ”
"Got it."
Although Ye Rong felt that this seemed to be a bit too much from the bottom of her heart, she was doing extraordinary things in this extraordinary period. Since you are a traitor, you must always have the consciousness of being a traitor.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at his watch, "There's still time to catch up with the next one." ”
"What, next?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled again: "This is Big Shanghai, Xu Xinqiang is not the only traitor, my goal is really to raise 200,000 US dollars, I can't rely on Xu Xinqiang alone, I can't let other traitors help him?" ”
Ye Rong smiled.
Traitors gang traitors?
This idea was only thought of by Director Meng.
$200,000.
Shanghai Tang traitors, big and small, you are in trouble.
Meng Shao was looking for you.
Ye Rong almost wanted to shout like this.
