Chapter 1196: Conduct
Moore has a very strong opinion on the "Interim Measures for the Prohibition of Alien Trade" promulgated by the city government. He also protested to the city government, but to no avail. The people who had been very respectful to him before suddenly became as if they didn't know him.
This made Moore particularly angry, and his dignity was destroyed, which was worse than killing him. After receiving a call from Zhu Muyun to visit, he was ready to express his strong dissatisfaction to Zhu Muyun.
Moore's roar made Zhu Muyun very embarrassed. He also knew that Moore was extremely despised by himself, a Chinese who did things for the Japanese. However, his responsibilities made it necessary for him to do things for the Japanese.
The conversation with Moore ended unhappily, and Zhu Muyun turned to Zhang Guanglin. They are all Chinese and have common topics. Isn't the reason why Zhang Guanglin served as the chief executive of the electric light company for his life?
"Zhang Daban, Moore is about to leave, what do you think?" Zhu Muyun asked.
"If it's just a change of boss, it shouldn't have any effect on me." Zhang Guanglin said that he knew that there were already some businessmen in Guxing who were ready to buy the electric light company. He was familiar with the business of the electric light company, and whoever bought it should be able to continue in his current position.
"Not necessarily, don't think that the merchants of the ancient star can really buy the electric light company. If the city government doesn't approve it, they can't buy it. Even if the city government does approve it, the Japanese will not agree. Zhu Muyun said slowly, he can maintain high pressure in front of Zhang Guanglin.
"The Japanese are going to intervene too?" Zhang Guanglin said in surprise.
"You're familiar with the Electric Light Company, give me a list of the people who have recently approached Moore." Zhu Muyun suddenly said that these lists, if he used other methods, could also be obtained. However, he prefers that Zhang Guanglin will tell him the results.
"What does Director Zhu want to do with them?" Zhang Guanglin hesitated and said that Zhu Muyun was a spy, if he got the names of these people, would he do anything unfavorable to them.
"Quite simply, persuade them not to finance the purchase of an electric light company. Because, the Japanese have already made up their minds to take away the electric light company. If they had bought the electric light company, they would have only cheapened Moore. Zhu Muyun said that for him, neither Moore nor the Japanese are good things.
The merchants of Guxing, if they were patriotic and got ahead of the Japanese, bought the electric light company. In the end, Moore was happy because he could get a large sum of money and leave without any loss. But the Japanese will be very angry, and with Matsumoto Yonosuke's character, all those involved will be retaliated against.
Zhu Muyun's words made Zhang Guanglin silent for a while. In Guxing, anyone who wants to fight the Japanese is unlikely to win. Even those anti-Japanese personnel could not shake the rule of the Japanese. At most, they will give the people of Guxing a glimmer of hope, and there are still people who are resisting, and sooner or later the Japanese will be expelled.
When Zhu Muyun left the electric light company, he had a list in his pocket, which was written by Zhang Guanglin. Zhu Muyun was right, if the businessmen of Guxing bought the electric light company, they would only cheapen Moore. Annoyed and angry, what kind of thing will Matsumoto do after learning about the behavior of the ancient star merchant?
Zhang Guanglin didn't dare to imagine that giving the list to Zhu Muyun could at least mess up this business. If Moore wants to sell it, he can sell the electric light company to the Japanese. As for myself, it's a big deal to go to work elsewhere. He is a foreign student who came back from studying abroad, and he is still worried about finding a job in Guxing?
Zhu Muyun basically knows all the names on this list. As the director of the Economic Division of the Political Security Bureau, none of Gu Xing's businessmen can bypass him.
After leaving the electric light company, Zhu Muyun walked back to the gendarmerie detachment and reported the latest progress to Li Bangfan by phone before driving out. He reported the list to Li Bangfan in detail, and what he had to do now was to visit the people on the list. And the first one to visit is Duanmu Qiang.
For Zhu Muyun's visit, Duanmu Zhensaku did not have any preparations. Originally, he thought that Zhu Muyun was looking for him, but he didn't expect that Zhu Muyun was looking for his father Duanmuqiang.
"Mu Yun, you're a busy person now, you have time to have a meal together." Duanmu Zhenzuo took Zhu Muyun's hand and said affectionately.
"No problem, is my uncle there?" Zhu Muyun asked, he didn't have much contact with his classmates at the Japanese Language Vocational School, even if it was Duanmu Shinsaku, he hadn't been in contact with him recently.
As the Japanese merchants became more and more tightly controlled over the Guxing economy, it became more and more difficult for the Chinese merchants to do business. All the resources, all controlled by the Japanese. They can only survive in the cracks, and everyone's business is getting worse day by day.
"What are you looking for him?" Duanmu really asked, business is not good, and of course his temper is not good.
"Talk about the Electric Light Company." Zhu Muyun said that he had nothing to hide from Duanmu Zhenzuo.
"Is there something wrong?" Duanmu Zhenzaku asked, recently, his father has indeed been busy with this matter.
"You'll find out later." Zhu Muyun smiled and didn't say anything more.
In the study at the back, Zhu Muyun saw Duanmuqiang. After all, Zhu Muyun and Duanmu Zhenzuo were classmates, and they had a relationship before, but they didn't meet in the living room. The study is not as formal as the living room, but only close people can come in. When Duanmu Qiang and Zhu Muyun were talking, Duanmu Zhenzuo couldn't stay by the side.
"Uncle Duanmu, the Japanese want to take down the electric light company, don't do any more useless work." After Zhu Muyun and the others left, they went straight to the point. He knew that it was useless to reason with someone like Duanmuqiang. Put the facts in front of him, and the last thing left is a matter of choice.
"How do they take it? If we compare the price, we will not lose to the Japanese. Duanmuqiang said unhappily that as soon as Zhu Muyun met, he asked himself to give up the electric light company, which was really a bit aggressive.
"The Japanese didn't think about buying it, to put it bluntly, they were ready to rob it. If you take over, all the investment will be wasted. Zhu Muyun reminded.
"Rob? In broad daylight......" Duanmu Qiang suddenly stopped talking when he wanted to speak.
And what about in broad daylight? Are there still few things that the Japanese are robbing openly?
"Huazhong Hydropower Co., Ltd. is bound to win the Guxing Electric Light Company, and Moore can only leave Guxing, and you can't compete with the Japanese. I suggested that my uncle intervene and persuade the others not to engage in unnecessary disputes with the Japanese. Zhu Muyun said bitterly.
"If we have to compete, what will happen in the end?" Duanmuqiang said.
"Everyone will be branded as anti-Japanese elements, and the city government will forcibly take back the management of the electric light company. In addition to the bamboo basket for water, you will even have a ruined family. Zhu Muyun said slowly.
"These damn Japanese." Duanmu Qiang gritted his teeth and said that in his own land, normal commercial competition cannot be done, and everything has to be controlled by the Japanese. It's too embarrassing to have a day like this.
"Uncle, in this case, you can just talk about it at home." Zhu Muyun reminded.
"You are now holding the Japanese rice bowl, although you can show off your might, but you have to remember that you are also Chinese." Duanmu Qiang reminded.
"Some of the actions of the Japanese are hateful, but they are here to help us. If we want to achieve common prosperity in East Asia, temporary pains are unavoidable. Only by surviving this difficult period will life be better and better in the future. Zhu Muyun said against his will, even in private, he couldn't talk to Duanmuqiang.
Don't say it's Duanmuqiang, even in the face of Dong Guangning, Zhu Muyun can't show his heart. From the time he was engaged in underground work, he knew that he would inevitably suffer from the accusations and abuse of others. The only thing he can do is to try not to take advantage of the common people.
Zhu Muyun also knows that this is also self-deception. How could he not take advantage of the common people when he sat in this position? Even, he has plagued the common people. Gu Xing didn't know how many people scolded him behind his back for being a heinous traitor, and he would not die sooner or later.
"Do you believe these words?" Duanmu Qiang's face showed displeasure, he wanted to persuade Zhu Muyun not to go too far, but he didn't expect Zhu Muyun to brainwash himself in turn.
The Japanese can only deceive those who are insensitive. Duanmu Qiang regrets it now, he should have left Gu Xing in the first place. Before the Japanese army occupied Guxing, he could leave Guxing at any time, go to Chongqing, or go to Hong Kong. However, it was difficult to leave his homeland, and in the end he chose to stay. For this reason, he also deliberately sent Tanmu Shinsaku to a Japanese language vocational school. The purpose is to learn more about Japanese people.
However, after the Japanese occupied Guxing, they did a lot of outrageous things. But at this time, it was impossible for the Duanmu family to leave Gu Xing again.
"Why don't you believe it, the Northeast doesn't use cattle to plough the land, it's all machine-operated. In the future, we will also achieve it here. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"You go, you won't come to my house in the future, try not to come." Duanmu Qiang said very politely.
"This is your list, and I want my uncle to persuade the others. This incident will happen in half a year at the latest, or in March at the earliest. Zhu Muyun reminded that the Japanese have not completely torn their faces with Britain and the United States, and the Guxing Electric Light Company can still exist for a while. However, Moore must leave the ancient star.
If during this time, the businessmen of Guxing do not know what to do and take over the electric light company in Moore's hands, all those involved will be targeted by the Japanese.
Duanmu Qiang took the list and didn't say anything. He is basically familiar with the names on it, and there is no deviation. With Zhu Muyun's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to get the names of these people. Zhu Muyun took the initiative to come to the door, perhaps out of good intentions. But Duanmu Qiang always felt very uncomfortable. When I thought of Zhu Muyun's face, I felt even more disgusted.
So much so that after Duanmu Zhenzuo sent Zhu Muyun away, he came to the study and asked, "Father, why don't you leave Muyun for dinner?" , was scolded by Duanmu so much that he was spurted with blood.
"He's a traitor, what kind of decency is it to stay at home and eat!"
