"Chief Meng."

"Chief Meng."

A group of businessmen stood up.

As the president of the Nanjing Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Zeng Jianping was a little strange, how could there be some blood marks on this Chief Meng's face?

It looks like he was caught by a woman?

What woman is so bold as to dare to attack a big spy?

Then there will be good fruit to eat?

Meng Shao couldn't help but touch the blood on his face, Zhu Yanni, this little girl is really crazy, she woke up early in the morning and found herself sleeping next to her, and she was ruthless.

But in the end, he was not conquered by himself?

It's over, it's over, the military rules and family law, and it is strictly forbidden to have any relationship between male and female spies, otherwise the family law waits, and the most powerful thing is to shoot directly.

At that time, it was cool for a while.

I don't know if this matter is exposed, if Dai Li knows about it, he will spare himself.

Forget it, don't want to.

Meng Shao originally made up his mind: "Ladies and gentlemen, the contemptible people were entrusted by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry to take the risk of returning to Nanjing, in order to rescue you and your families. ”

"Chief Meng, thank you, thank you." Zeng Jianping said gratefully: "This Nanjing is now heavily blocked, only allowed to enter, not allowed to go out, I hate that I refused to listen to persuasion, left Nanjing earlier, originally thought that even if the Japanese occupied Shanghai, they would not further seek Nanjing, never thought that it would be too late to regret it now." ”

"Nanjing, it's not easy to get out." Meng Shaoyuan asked, "How many of you are there?" ”

"Three hundred and sixteen people, large and small, together with their families."

Good guys, that's a lot.

Meng Shaoyuan let out a long sigh: "Originally, Shanghai gave me 300,000 US dollars, and I know that it was jointly funded by businessmen from Shanghai and Nanjing. Where do you want to go with this money? But these are extraordinary times. Not to mention, I have mobilized an Englishman cargo ship, the Cumbria Breaking Waves, which is the fastest ship in the world.

Captain Schiller, who had sent the goods from London to Shanghai, was about to return to China immediately, and I begged him to come with me to Nanking to save people, but he insisted on refusing, saying that this was a matter between China and Japan, and it was inconvenient for the British to participate. If you don't get it right, you will cause Britain and Japan; The two countries are contradictory, but I know the great significance of the national righteousness and the world's anti-*** ......"

The merchants looked at each other.

The righteousness of the country is understood, but what does "anti-***" mean?

Zeng Jianping is the president after all, he is well-informed, and his brain is turning quickly: "That *** thinks he is a vicious man, or a common enemy of China and Britain." Chief Meng must have spent a lot of thought and money to be able to move that Mr. Schiller. ”

"Money, life doesn't bring it, death doesn't bring it." Meng Shaoyuan was awe-inspiring: "In order to rescue you, what does it matter if I throw my head and spill my blood?" Although Schiller asked for $150,000 as soon as he opened his mouth, and when he heard that he was going to drive all the way to Chengdu, he increased the price by $50,000, I agreed without hesitation......

Fortunately, only $200,000 was spent.

"I've always regarded money as dung, and I'm used to fame and fortune." Meng Shaoyuan looked like a worldly master: "The really hateful thing is that those British, when they knew that there were two or three hundred people on board, they even added 50,000 US dollars for food and accommodation...... Also, they said that if they met the Japanese, they would have to take great risks and extort 50,000 US dollars from me......"

So far, the $300,000 has been arranged by him clearly, and there is nothing left.

Zeng Jianping wanted to be grateful, but he never expected that Meng Shaoyuan continued: "If these are the same, it's fine." I thought, I have to make sure that you are safe, what should I do? So I asked a British friend of mine to do a great favor, this person is also a well-known person, Daniel, the former police director of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau, I don't know if you have ever heard of it? ”

"Yes, yes." Zeng Jianping hurriedly said: "I went to Shanghai the year before last, and I once had a meal with Mr. Daniel. This person, everything else is good, but he likes money, and he is very greedy. ”

Huh, you know?

That's easy.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "Yes, Daniel agreed to help me, but you know how much it costs?" $200,000! ”

Zeng Jianping did not suspect fraud at all.

He knew Daniel and dealt with him, when he had a batch of goods detained in Shanghai, he asked someone to find Daniel for help, Daniel opened his mouth and asked for a large sum of money directly.

Sending people out of Nanjing at the moment, such an important matter, how can Daniel not have a reason not to slaughter him? But if you really send these three hundred and sixteen people out, 200,000 dollars, it's worth the money!

"Although I am a government official, our military command is not an oil and water unit, and I myself am upright and clean, where is the money?" Meng Shaoyuan said angrily: "But I thought, if I can rescue you, even if I let Meng someone go bankrupt, what's the matter?" So I sold my house in Shanghai and borrowed a lot of money from a loan shark......"

"Chief Meng, by all means." Zeng Jianping hurriedly said: "Chief Meng has been exhausted for us, how can there be any reason for Chief Meng to sell his house and take on a debt?" Although the $200,000 is a huge amount of money, I have been in business for a long time and have some family property, so I can still make up this money for Chief Meng. ”

Meng Shaoyuan and them talked nonsense, the original intention was really not to get another sum of money, he wanted these businessmen to know how difficult it was to evacuate them from Nanjing, so that they could appreciate their kindness and use them for themselves in the future.

But he didn't want to think about it, he said so, can these businessmen let him pay for the money himself?

By the time Meng Shaoyuan figured it out, it was too late.

One is to give it again and again, and the other is to give it again and again, and then I blushed and had a thick neck, I don't know, I thought the two were going to fight?

In the end, Meng Shaoyuan still couldn't resist Zeng Jianping, and promised his subordinates the money he "advanced".

Zeng Jianping asked a group of businessmen what they meant, and everyone only wanted to leave Nanjing as soon as possible, and the money was already secondary, so the money was divided equally according to their own families and the number of people they carried.

During the period of the Republic of China, it is true that Shanghai was the financial center of the country, but Nanjing was the capital, connected to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and the business was prosperous.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars is a huge amount of money, but it is shared equally among a group of businessmen, and everyone can afford it. Some people even began to think that in this case, it is better to bring their own mother's maid or something, after all, they have been by their side for a long time, and they are used to it, and when they arrive in Sichuan, they may not be able to find such a satisfactory one.

Spread it out, this money is really not much.

But this meant something completely different to Meng Shao.

This is like the 40,000,000 compatriots in the country, each person can afford one dollar, but if the 40,000 yuan is given to one person, then this person will be developed in an instant.

Meng Shaoyuan is this person.

Ashamed, ashamed.

From the Lixing Society to the military commander, the thickest-skinned person in China's spy organization will actually feel ashamed, that is really rare.

Collecting money from people, eliminating disasters with others, and professional ethics must be talked about.

Meng Shaoyuan agreed with everyone at that time to evacuate, told the meeting place, and repeatedly told him to keep it secret, don't make trouble, and it will not be good if he causes trouble again.

Zeng Jianping looked at the time and asked everyone to hurry back and prepare.

I left Meng Shaoyuan alone, asked people to change the tea, and chatted there for a while: "Chief Meng has worked so hard for our business, and I don't know how to repay it in the future." It's just that I still have one thing to ask for. ”

"President Zeng, please speak."

Zeng Jianping hesitated: "As for me, I usually don't have any other hobbies except for business, I like to collect some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and I have collected a lot of rare items over the years." Some time ago, I was busy evacuating the factory machinery, and I couldn't take care of it at home, and when I wanted to evacuate, it was too late.

I still have to thank Chief Meng for his great kindness, so that we can get out of danger. It's just that I want to ask Chief Meng, if I pack all these antiques, calligraphy and paintings and bring them on the boat, I don't know if it is feasible? To tell you the truth, if I stay in Nanjing, if the city is broken and falls into the hands of those Japanese, all good things will be ruined, and I am really reluctant to do so. ”

This is going to run for your life, you still think about antique calligraphy and painting?

Meng Shaoyuan asked, "How many?" ”

"It's all carefully packed." Zeng Jianping perked up: "There are a total of twenty-eight boxes. ”

Oh my God, so much?

How many good things has Zeng Jianping collected over the years?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's too much, I'm afraid it won't work." More than 300 people have exceeded my imagination, the ship is so big, one more box, one more space. President Zeng, to go to Chongqing, you have to go to Chengdu first, the road is far away, even if the captain takes care of it, it will be very difficult to sail all the way.

A little more space, I think you understand the meaning of this. Also, water transportation, no more than air and land transportation, is easy to get damp, what should I do if the treasure of the president is damaged at that time? Besides, I said that in case, if they were intercepted by the Japanese, it would be more than worth the loss, so in my opinion, it would be better to find a place to hide these things. ”

Zeng Jianping was a little disappointed.

But it was to be expected, he was just trying his luck with a little hope.

"Chief Meng, then these treasures of mine can only be entrusted to you."

"Huh? Please? ”

"Yes, please."

Zeng Jianping said what he thought in his heart: "Chief Meng is chivalrous and courageous, and he is absolutely trustworthy in character, and Chief Meng is in an important position, so there is no problem if he wants to hide a few boxes." These 28 boxes, if I wait until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I can return to Nanjing alive, and Chief Meng only has to pay me back 20, and the remaining eight will be used as payment. If I don't live to that day, these treasures will all belong to Chief Meng! ”

Speechless, only God knows.

In this world, there are even people who say that Meng Shaoyuan's character is a trustworthy person?
