Chapter 485: Smuggling
It's the other way around! It's the other way around!
You are a little thief, you rob homes and houses, scourge places, do evil, and do heinous crimes, and if you don't kill, it's not enough to be angry with the people!
How dare you kidnap the You family's father and son?
It took a lot of hard work for people to get from Nanjing to Chongqing.
Liang Wei'er, you are simply a disgrace to the people of Sichuan!
Young Master Meng was furious!
Also, why did the You family father and son leave Chongqing?
Do you feel that it is not safe to carry that "Ode to the Teacher" on your body in Chongqing?
Ode to the Teacher!
Young Master Meng is upright, with a clean breeze on his sleeves, of course he won't do anything for a painting, mainly because this Liang Qian is not pleasing to the eye. The main purpose is to help the local government get rid of this big evil.
While filming Qiu Xingchang going out to continue to listen to the news, he was thinking about what to do.
The phone on the desk rang, Meng Shaoyuan picked it up, and said angrily: "Meng Shaoyuan, say." β
"Director Meng, Director Dai wants to see you immediately. 150 Deanli. β
Li?
He's also in Chongqing?
"Understood." Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to slack off, put down the phone, and hurried out.
Hurried to 150 Deanli, a three-storey building with a red faΓ§ade.
Dai Li's guard captain Gao Pingchao was already waiting there, and as soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he immediately said, "Director Dai is on the second floor, hurry up." β
When I came to the second floor, I knocked lightly on the door, and Dai Li's familiar voice came from inside: "Come in." β
Meng Shaoyuan walked in lightly and closed the door: "Meng Shaoyuan was ordered to come to report. β
"Well, I just came from Changsha." Dai Li put down the file in his hand: "As soon as I came, I heard that you have arrived in Chongqing, soon." How about it, how much time are you going to stay in Chongqing this time? β
"It won't be long." Meng Shaoyuan replied: "Rectify the contact points here, and then we will rush back to Shanghai." β
"That's what I mean, too." Dai Li nodded: "The government moved the capital to Chongqing, and a large number of Japanese special products also mixed in, but compared with Shanghai and Nanjing, the work here is relatively safe. Shanghai and Nanjing are in greater need of manpower. β
Speaking of this, there was a pause: "Nanjing, lost." β
Meng Shaoyuan didn't speak, this is something he already knew would happen.
But immediately, Dai Li said again: "Xiao Shan ordered Commander Xiao to be martyred." β
Meng Shaoyuan's body shook a little.
Commander Xiao, you big liar!
You promised me that you would live.
Swindler! Swindler!
Your words don't count!
The only thing that is difficult for the eternal is to die and live, which is the hardest and hardest.
Is it true that history cannot be changed? Can't make even the slightest change?
Far away, a butterfly quietly flapped its wings during the Battle of Qingpu.
However, a storm needs a node.
Only, when will this node appear?
Nobody knows.
Dai Li found that Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were red, and he sighed softly: "Shaoyuan, mourn, I know that you have a good relationship with Commander Xiao, but he is loyal to the party and the country, and he is loyal to the nation, and he dies as he deserves." β
"I know, Mr. Day." Meng Shaoyuan perked up his spirits: "Shaoyuan will turn his grief into strength, return to Shanghai as soon as possible, and resume his work in an all-round way." β
"Kill more Japanese and avenge Commander Xiao." Dai Li stood up and looked at the time: "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." β
Yes?
Dai Lian called himself here just to invite himself to dinner?
Dai Li's voice lowered a little: "Chen Hua came to Chongqing, you saved her in Shanghai last time, she is very grateful, this time I came to Chongqing, she can be regarded as thanking you." β
Meng Shaoyuan looked bitter: "Don't forget it, I'll go back and eat some casually." β
"No, Meng Shaoyuan, I'll invite you to dinner, you still ......" Dai Li suddenly reacted to something, a little embarrassed: "Don't worry, you can order the dish this time, just order it." β
Last time in Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan had taught Dai Li a treat, and the meat was almost invisible. After eating that meal, when I got home, I had to get another bowl of rice to pad my stomach.
β¦β¦
Meng Shaoyuan felt that he had been fooled again.
A small restaurant, looking tattered, the tables and stools are shaking.
Look at Chen Hua again, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to let your family eat in this place, right?
Chen Hua glanced at Meng Shaoyuan, also with a helpless face.
What to do?
Your boss is the one who picks the door.
"Order, order." Dai Li didn't seem to care at all: "Shaoyuan, you can do something, you're welcome, feel free." β
"You're so generous, what can you do if you order all the dishes here?" Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "Let's have a pot of meat, this is a specialty." β
Dai Li's right eye blinked.
"Is there any fresh fish? Let's ...... By the way, by the way, is there a pot squid? β
The flesh of Dai Li's cheeks throbbed a few times.
"Braised pork...... No? What's the meat there? Give us a copy. β
"Enough, enough."
Dai Li couldn't bear it anymore and stopped Meng Shaoyuan, who still wanted to continue ordering: "The government has just moved the capital, and the country's finances are in difficulty. Keep it simple, keep it simple. β
Meng Shaoyuan opened his mouth wide: "Mr. Dai, in this hotel, how simple do you want to be?" If you can have a meal with the state finances, I will really serve you. β
"It's done, Shao Yuan." Chen Hua pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't know your boss's character, if you click on it again, he will have to give you small shoes to wear when you go back." β
Dai Li's embarrassment and embarrassment: "We still have to be proud of thrift, and ashamed of extravagance and waste, and the chairman's new life movement has been repeatedly reclaimed." β
"Done, done." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Boss, a return to the pot of meat slices, three more vegetarian dishes, a clear soup, a bottle of wine, that's it." β
Dai Li felt satisfied.
It's best to go back to the pot and don't have slices of meat, so what do you do with greasy stuff eaten?
After the food was served, the boss was taken out by plainclothes, and there were only three Dai Lisa left.
After taking a sip of wine, Dai Li put down the wine bowl: "Shaoyuan, the current situation is tense, and when it comes to finance, I mainly want to talk to you about this today." The cost of military command is extremely high, and it is overstretched by relying on financial appropriations alone. UBI has made a lot of money since its establishment, but in my opinion, the steps are a little bigger, and the business needs to be more prosperous. β
Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed to say that half of the profits made by the Li Tong Company had gone to the books of Hang Lung Company: "Mr. Dai, when it comes to this, I just want to report to you." If we want UBI to make money at full speed, this will have to involve contacts with the occupied areas, and in the future, we will increase the smuggling business with the occupied areas.
For example, I will use rice, soybeans, tung oil, pig bristles, rosin, ramie, bamboo, and wood to exchange Western medicines, cotton cloth, cigarettes, rubber tires, hardware, daily necessities, and so on. However, this begs a question. β
"I understand."
Dai Li didn't have time to think: "Are you afraid that someone will say that you are a traitor?" β
"That's what it means."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, just do it." Dai Li said lightly: "Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times, Chongqing is now a big rear, and materials are extremely scarce, where do they come from?" Waiting for the help of the international community? Pipe dream. It's up to us to figure it out ourselves. Whoever makes irresponsible remarks and asks him to say in front of me, I will wear someone to support you. β
"That'll do." Meng Shaoyuan's spirits perked: "With Mr. Dai's words, I have nothing to worry about." β
"This piece is fat." Dai Li groaned and said: "Not only are we on top, but the Ministry of Finance is also there to watch. In the past, when we were in Nanjing, we had a good relationship with the Ministry of Finance, but now when we are in Chongqing, we are prone to problems. β
That's right, Meng Shaoyuan knew that after arriving in Chongqing, because the profits of smuggling were too large, there began to be contradictions between Dai Li and Kong Xiangxi.
"Mr. Dai." Meng Shao said mysteriously: "Actually, it is better to suggest that the chairman of the committee set up an anti-smuggling agency, nominally, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, but you will be the director of the anti-smuggling department." β
Dai Li thought for a moment and smiled.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled in his heart, this was originally your own idea, Mr. Dai, but I said it for you in advance, and it will be an organization with 60,000 employees in the future.
In this way, Dai Li will be directly responsible for the smuggling business of the military commanders in the future, and the responsibility of the Li Tong Company will be much smaller in an instant.
Hang Lung, on the contrary, can start making money openly.
With such a big smuggling market, Meng Shaoyuan is not dark, as long as he eats a piece of cake, it will be a rolling source of wealth. What's more, who else in the military command systematically smuggled earlier than himself?
"By the way, Mr. Dai, I have something to report to you." Meng Shaoyuan took this opportunity to say: "A hundred miles away from Chongqing, there is a gang of bandits, the leader is called Liang Shengfu, nicknamed Liang Wei'er. Originally, he was a scourge to the local area, and it had nothing to do with us, but according to reliable information, it was possible that he could be used by the Japanese. β
Liang Wei'er, who is hundreds of miles away, is really a pot from the sky. He has to know the Japanese, right?
This is a trivial matter at all, Dai Li didn't even think about it: "Since this is the case, then let's suppress it." Chongqing is the capital of the city, and on the side of the capital, how can there be bandits? β
Cheng, what I am waiting for is your words.
"That's what I thought too." Meng Shaoyuan touched the melon: "I want to be personally responsible for this matter, if I want to suppress it, I must suppress it cleanly, and it can be regarded as a good thing I did for Chongqing before I left Chongqing." But I'm severely understaffed right now. β
"That's easy, I'll help you borrow a troop." When Dai Li said this, he suddenly became a little suspicious: "You are so kind to suppress bandits? Shao Yuan, I'm afraid you have taken a fancy to the bandits' belongings, right? β
"Mr. Dai, you have wronged me." Meng Shaoyuan gambled and swore: "Liang Shao'er's stolen goods, Shaoyuan will never take a penny, count them all, and hand them over to the national treasury." β
"This is not like your Meng Shaoyuan's character." Dai Li still didn't believe Meng Shaoyuan: "But I don't bother to pay attention to you, a little bandit, how many belongings can he have?" Just let it go. β
