Chapter 148: Rich but Not Strong

Meng Shaoyuan had no idea where he was being taken.

The windows are covered by curtains.

When the car stopped, I realized that this was near Xinjiekou.

A small building, very old, but there are a few sentry standing at the door.

The two anti-smuggling teams were very polite all the way, and when they arrived at the destination, they were the first to get out of the car and open the door:

"Please."

No one questioned him either.

Meng Shaoyuan just walked in directly.

And there was a servant who served him tea, and he left him alone.

After a while, footsteps sounded on the second floor, and Meng Shaoyuan immediately stood up.

A man who looked to be less than forty years old, wore round-rimmed glasses, and had an elegant temperament, slowly walked down from the second floor.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Song! ”

Song Ziwen!

Song Ziwen was stunned: "Have you seen me?" ”

"No, Mr. Song."

Meng Shaoyuan was a little duplicitous.

I didn't know how many photos I had seen of him on the Internet before, but I recognized it at first glance.

"And how do you know it's me?" Song Ziwen was a little curious.

"It's simple." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about what to say: "Meng Shaoyuan saved Tang Dujin once in a while, and he already told you." The two who brought me here, claiming to be the anti-smuggling team, the tax police anti-smuggling team, who else can be mobilized except Mr. Song? ”

"No wonder Don Jr. keeps saying in front of me that you are very smart. Sit, sit. ”

Song Ziwen asked Meng Shaoyuan to sit down, and the maid served coffee and left quickly.

He took a sip of coffee: "Shaoyuan, I specially thank you for inviting you this time." If Xiao Tang has three longs and two shorts, I don't know how to explain it to the belly. Not only that, but you also gave him such a big credit......"

This matter can never be hidden from Song Ziwen.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and didn't say anything.

"Are you helping Xiao Tang like this just to please me?" Song Ziwen suddenly asked.

Embarrassed.

Isn't that what Meng Shaoyuan thinks? But the problem is that it was said to people's faces......

Slowly.

When Song Ziwen asked this sentence just now, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

That is to say that he did not have any ill will.

"Yes, Mr. Song." Meng Shaoyuan decided to gamble once: "When I knew Tang Dujin's identity, I decided to help him." If I can get Mr. Song's favor, it will also be very beneficial for me to do things in the future. ”

He replied frankly.

Well, honestly.

Song Ziwen felt very satisfied.

In his opinion, the most important quality of being a human being is honesty.

God knows.

Some people actually think that Meng Shaoyuan is an honest person.

"However, I have resigned from all government positions." Song Ziwen said slowly: "Now he is the only chairman of the Bank of China. I can't help you anymore. Moreover, I have disputes with the chairman in many aspects, and I am afraid that if I want to help you, it will backfire. ”

You're welcome.

You are indeed inappropriate as the Minister of Finance and Vice President of the Executive Yuan, but you are still in power, and you are China's No. 1 God of Wealth.

Currency reform, without your nod, who can make the decision?

But these words cannot be said to the face.

To go around and say.

Meng Shaoyuan replied very calmly: "Adversity sees the truth, and the board knows loyalty." Although Mr. Song is no longer an official in the government, Shao Yuan has read all the economic reforms you proposed and admires them very much. If you want to do a good job in China's economy, you can't do it without you. ”

Song Ziwen was very satisfied.

The Meng Shaoyuan in front of him was just a small spy, what could he know about the high-level affairs?

How can he know that he is in the national government, and he can still call for wind and rain?

He would not even know that although the chairman of the NPC National Committee had contradictions with him and even slapped the table and scolded him, he would still respectfully invite himself to go and ask for his own opinions when economic development and currency reform.

A good sentence "adversity sees the truth, and the board knows loyalty".

These words came out of the mouth of a small agent, which is rare.

Song Ziwen was not wrong at all.

Any normal person would think so.

But he didn't know one thing:

Meng Shaoyuan did not belong to this era at all.

What will happen in this era now and what will happen in the future, Meng Shaoyuan knows everything well.

Who's status, who can call the wind and rain, his heart is like a mirror.

Song Ziwen remembered that he had worked hard for the country, but when he resigned, the chairman of the committee did not retain him at all, and couldn't help but say:

"yes." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "The candle illuminates others, but it destroys itself." ”

Song Ziwen was surprised: "You know English?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Song."

"To what extent?"

"There are no problems with communication."

Suddenly, Song Ziwen looked at Meng Shaoyuan with admiration.

A little spy, so knowledgeable, and proficient in English?

Why didn't you find out that Dai Li's subordinates had such outstanding talents before?

"Where did you learn English?"

In front of him, he couldn't say that he was studying in the United States, Meng Shaoyuan said stubbornly: "In the past, my father helped Shaoyuan hire an American teacher, and he taught him...... The man is also said to be an economic expert. ”

This sentence, but he said it on purpose.

Song Ziwen must be made to pay attention to himself, and he attaches great importance to himself.

Song Ziwen's interest in Meng Shaoyuan was completely adjusted: "Then you and I can talk about the economy of China and the United States." ”

Meng Shaoyuan is waiting for you to ask this sentence: "Shaoyuan is stupid and talks a few words. Since the 18th year of the Republic of China, the US economy has collapsed, and in fact, in the 20s, there were already a number of trends that were ignored or ignored by people that were not conducive to economic development.

Agriculture, on the other hand, never fully recovered from the post-war depression, and the peasants remained impoverished during this period.

In addition, the so-called high levels of wages in the industrial sector are many of them false. During this decade, the application of new machines squeezed out a large number of workers......

This depression lasted for several years......"

He talked about the knowledge he had seen from books.

Although the United States has entered a period of economic depression, its domestic industrial capacity is strong, and it will soon be able to get rid of it and regain its strength.

Song Ziwen was surprised in his heart.

A spy who knows so much about the U.S. economy?

"On the other hand, in the past few years, my country is entering a golden period." Meng Shaoyuan's words changed: "In the past few years, China's industrial growth rate has been as high as 9.3 on average, creating the first economic miracle.

At the same time, the development of the transportation industry is particularly vigorous, in addition to the rapid growth of telecommunications and postal services, the construction of railways has reached more than 20,000 kilometers, the number of highways has increased by more than 80,000 kilometers, and civil air transport has opened up 12 routes in the past ten years, with a length of more than 15,000 kilometers.

Let's look at education. During this time, the government began with a literacy campaign to eradicate illiteracy and the establishment of the Academia Sinica, and the education system was finally built into a complete structure. In order to catch up with the Western powers......"

This spy is incredible.

This is what Song Ziwen thought in his heart at this time.

I know the economy of China and the United States very well.

"However, there are pros and cons." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "From the perspective of prosperity, only the southeastern coastal areas of huge China have reached the standard of economic prosperity. In terms of steel production, the steel output of this decade is not as good as the total amount during the Westernization Movement......"

"Shao Yuan." Song Ziwen opened his mouth and asked, "Where did you know all this?" ”

"Without it, Shaoyuan usually has free time and likes to watch something about it." Meng Shaoyuan said perfunctorily: "At present, there are four words to describe my country, rich but not strong!" ”

"Rich but not strong!"

Song Ziwen muttered these four words.

Meng Shaoyuan decided to take another risk: "Shaoyuan thought that if China and Japan went to war, the focus of Japan's attack would inevitably shift from North China to East China. The original intention was to destroy the foundation of China's national economy developed in the golden decade and make China lose its ability to fight......"

"Nonsense." Song Ziwen's face sank: "China and Japan are friends, although there are occasional frictions at present, how can you talk about war?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan is not worried, Song Ziwen is a staunch anti-war faction:

"Mr. Song, Shao Yuan is bold. If Mr. Song thinks that there will be no war between China and Japan, then what does he mean by forming an elite tax police corps?

One. On 28th, the Tax Police Corps fought a bloody battle, and almost all the officers and men of the 2nd Regiment and the 2nd Battalion died heroically.

After the signing of the Songhu Agreement, in order to cope with the sudden incident in North China, Mr. Song secretly negotiated with Qian Zongze, director of the Longhai Railway Bureau, to prepare more than 30 trains, concentrate them in Haizhou, and transport all the tax police regiments to Zhengzhou to prepare for Beiping. Unfortunately, Liu Zhi, chairman of Henan Province, found out about the matter and called the chairman of the committee to inform him. ”

"That's enough, Shaoyuan."

Song Ziwen interrupted him: "There are some words, don't say them in your heart, and don't say them even if you die." ”

"Yes, Shao Yuan knows it's wrong."

"Who's right and who's wrong?" Song Ziwen smiled bitterly: "Shaoyuan, come and help me, Dai Yunong's side, I'll say hello to him." ”

What he lacks most now is such a talent, who understands English, economics, and military affairs.

Forget it.

Meng Shaoyuan knew too well that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and his high views on the economy were completely read out according to the book: "Thank you Mr. Song for your kindness, but Shaoyuan seems to play a greater role in Lixing Society." Mr. Song will never dare to shirk what motivation Shaoyuan will have in the future, and will do his best to repay Mr. Song's appreciation. ”

Song Ziwen actually knew that Dai Li, a talent like Meng Shaoyuan, would never let him go, and he was not reluctant at that time: "You saved Xiao Tang, what do you need me to do for you?" ”

"Weapons."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't think about it and said: "I am currently forming a secret operation group, and all the funds and weapons are up to me, Shaoyuan has already sent people to Shanghai to procure them, but ......"

"I see." Song Ziwen nodded: "I'll help you find the Bank of Eight Nations to find a way to see if I can get a batch of weapons for you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Song, Shao Yuan has no teeth and never forgets!"

Meng Shaoyuan stood up and said.
