Chapter 548: A Fishing Bait
After the divorce, Yanagihara began to study at the Toyo Eiwa Girls' School, absorbed Western culture, began to compose waka songs, and became well-known in the Japanese poetry world.
After graduating, Yanagihara returned to his hometown, where his brother was in need of money to run for the legislature. In order to raise money, the elder brother introduced Yanagihara Hakuren to the Japanese coal king Ito Soemon, Yanagihara Hakuren looked at the nouveau riche who was nearly fifty years old in front of him, and felt disgusted in his heart, but the eldest brother was like a father, and Yanagihara Hakuren had no way to refuse.
In the end, Ito Soemon married Yanagihara Hakuren back home for 20,000 yuan.
Later, Yanagihara met Ryusuke Miyazaki, a 27-year-old journalist and activist in the labor movement, and the two fell in love at first sight. This time she decided to take control of her destiny.
After two years of underground romance, Yanagihara Hakuren and Ryusuke Miyazaki discussed elopement, and published an agreement to break off relations with her ex-husband in the newspaper, which caused a sensation at the time.
It was not until after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan in 1923 that the two got rid of many obstacles and completed their marriage.
Yanagihara Bailian's life is bumpy, especially as a nobleman, and she has divorced twice, which is definitely big news.
The second reported divorce is known to everyone in Japan. Lu Xiuzhu was in Japan back then, and he also saw it in the newspaper.
Unexpectedly, she actually came to China.
Look at this pomp, look at this style, how else to say that people are the daughters of earls and nobles? Even if she meets a guest, she doesn't allow others to see her true face.
Even if you say something, you have to ask the maid to pass on the word.
Lu Xiuzhu didn't doubt it at all, you know, although Yanagihara White Lotus is very famous in Japan, almost no one knows about it in China.
Thinking that he was fortunate to meet the earl's daughter today, Lu Xiuzhu's excitement in his heart needless to say, and it is said in Japan that Yanagihara White Lotus is a peerless beauty, but unfortunately, in the same room, he can't get a glimpse of the beauty.
This is a small pity.
The conversation between the two sides was entirely passed by the maids.
Roughly speaking, Yanagihara White Lotus brought a large number of counterfeit yen bills this time, and he needed to get rid of them, and he was willing to dispose of them in Shanghai at a relatively low price.
Wan Bozhong really wanted to ask, since the other party is a Japanese aristocrat, why did he want to make his own counterfeit banknotes?
But this style completely shocked him. Let his words come to his lips, but he has to swallow them back.
The aura is a very subtle thing, you can't touch it, you can't see it, but in a certain environment, in the face of a special person, you will be suppressed by the other party's aura.
At this time, Wan Bozhong and others were exactly like this.
Wan Bozhong said cautiously: "May I ask me, how many are there?" ”
"Yen, three million!"
Million?
Wan Bozhong and Lu Lianyi both gasped.
100 US dollars for 700 holiday coins, which is 1 to 7, that is 400,000 US dollars.
Oh my God, it's too much.
"This ...... Too much, too much......" Wan Bozhong said hesitantly.
The maid smiled slightly: "Madame knows that the amount of such a transaction is huge, but Madame is unwilling to find someone to trade in batches, and not everyone can see Madame." In this way, whether the business can be successful or not, you have all come here, and you can't let you run empty, this is not in accordance with etiquette, and Madame has a little gift for you. ”
She slapped her palm.
The man standing next to Mrs. Yanagihara Bailian immediately walked over with a fine cloth bag and handed it to Wan Bozhong.
"What is this?" Wan Bozhong asked tentatively.
"That's 50,000 yen."
"Fifty thousand?"
"Yes, of course it's all counterfeit money." The maid said lightly: "As the Chinese saying goes, buying and selling is not benevolent. The war between China and Japan, Madame is against ......"
Well?
A count's daughter against war?
Wan Bozhong and the others didn't dare to speak, and listened to the maid continue: "Besides, no matter what the Sino-Japanese relationship becomes, you are all her guests. The 50,000 yen is a gift, so you can use it as you like. If something goes wrong, we will take all the damages. Madame will stay here for a few days, and you can come to Madame at any time. ”
"That's embarrassing, that's embarrassing." Wan Bozhong said in a loud voice.
50,000 yen, but it is also a huge amount of money, even if it is a counterfeit banknote, but this lady of the white lotus gave it out casually.
"Alright, so be it." But the maid gave an order to evict the guests there: "Madame, it's time to rest, thank you very much for coming, goodbye." ”
"Ah, goodbye, goodbye."
Wan Bozhong and Lu Lianyi are also old rivers and lakes, but here, they don't even have a chance to speak......
……
"Ouch, it's ugly, I've got to wash my teeth quickly."
Not long after the "guest" left, the "maid" Ye Rong had already rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.
"Hey, peek at me going to the bathroom. Shameless. ”
A man's voice came from the toilet.
There is only one person who can say such shameless words:
Meng Shaoyuan!
"Get out of the way."
Ye Rong didn't care, she desperately wiped the black on her teeth, and said vaguely while wiping: "Director Meng, do the Japanese really think that black teeth are beautiful?" ”
"Really, Professor Chen Yingge told me."
Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the bathroom slowly: "Hey, Assistant Wu, Shen Li, the performance is good." ”
"Not bad." "Mrs. White Lotus" Wu Jingyi walked out from behind the curtain: "I just muttered a few words in Ye Rong's ear, all thanks to Ye Rong." ”
"This blind muttering, you have to mutter." Meng Shaoyuan grinned: "By the way, what did you say to Ye Rong?" Said decently. ”
"I said, Meng Shaoyuan is not a thing, Meng Shaoyuan is a big liar......"
No way!
Shen Li was a little worried: "Director Meng, they don't seem to want to do this business." ”
"They want to do it, or they wouldn't be here today." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "But they are afraid, after all, the number is too big." More than 400,000 US dollars, even if they go bankrupt, they can't make it up. But my bait has been laid down, and they can't take the bait. ”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Li, and then at Ye Rong, who came out of the bathroom after washing his teeth: "If they really don't want to do it, they won't accept the 50,000 yen." If they weren't greedy, they wouldn't have come today. So that's interesting. They are extremely greedy, they have never been afraid to make money without a conscience, and now that there is such a good opportunity in front of their eyes, once the business is confirmed to be viable, they will desperately bite the hook. When that time comes, even if someone asks them to let go, they won't be happy. ”
Ye Rong listened very carefully, and couldn't help but ask, "Director Meng, can you say it in more detail?" ”
"Man has the ability to discern and judge the right and wrong of the same thing." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Most people are self-centered, and when he thinks that this matter is true, no matter how others persuade him, it will not play any role. Because his subconscious mind thinks that it is true, and in his state of ego, he will especially reject those who persuade him. ”
In Meng Shaoyuan's time, there were many telecom frauds, even if the police came forward in person to persuade the victim that it was a scam, the victim would rather believe the liar than the real police.
First, the victim was brainwashed by the other party, and another reason, from a psychological point of view, he subconsciously thought that he could not be deceived, and seriously rejected the persuader.
"In addition to the ability to discern, there is also a herd mentality." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "The so-called herd mentality, when something cannot be decided, as long as one person agrees, the rest will respond. Most of the time, people think that they are smarter than others, but when they are hesitant to ask questions, they will strangely think that the other person is more judgmental than themselves. ”
Shen Li and Ye Rong listened with relish.
They were trained as professional spies, stalking, telegraphing, assassination...... They have learned everything, but they have never heard of this psychology at all.
It's no wonder that when I came to Shanghai and chatted with those old spies, they would always say, don't lie in front of Director Meng again, because no matter how well your lies are written, you will never be able to deceive Director Meng.
Now, they are completely convinced.
"If Director Meng's judgment is not wrong, I, the White Lotus Lady, will continue to act." Wu Jingyi said: "These people are also unlucky, a golden bean pit Young Master Meng for two thousand oceans, and as a result, a group of hooligan leaders are unlucky. ”
Ye Rong was stunned: "Two thousand oceans? ”
Wu Jingyi sneered at Meng Shaoyuan: "Do you think your Director Meng is really so chivalrous and upright, and he is bent on eradicating these scum? The main reason is not because Jin Badou pit him for 2,000 oceans, he has to make his family bankrupt with interest? ”
Meng Shaoyuan coughed again and again: "Nonsense, nonsense, I just watched them do evil in Shanghai...... Ah, the main reason is this...... Of course, Jin Badou's head is in the water, and he dares to extort my money......"
Shen Li and Ye Rong almost laughed, and they were really told by Assistant Wu. Director Meng is a well-known lord who will repay him, and his money can be regarded as having no virtue in his ancestors.
"Besides." Meng Shaoyuan muttered, "Not only two thousand oceans, but also fifty thousand yen." ”
"Huh?" Ye Rong blurted out: "Is that 50,000 yen real?" ”
"Nonsense!" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened: "I said, if you want to fish, the bait must be good and fragrant, otherwise how can you catch a big fish?" I don't use real money, do I still use counterfeit money? ”
Young, 50,000 yen, a lot of money, what if something goes wrong?
In Meng Shaoyuan's time, first using the real to make you believe, and then using the fake to make you take the bait, is the tried and tested method of those liars.
Young Master Meng just made some minor modifications, and then set up a big scam.
Wu Jingyi suddenly sighed: "I still say that, Young Master Meng, it's really a pity that you are not a liar!" ”
