"Schuchmann, have you really decided to accompany our little boss to Germany? Aren't you afraid that the SS will not let you back? You should remember how we left Germany in the first place, and you should remember how Baumann died. Leaving Lu Yuan's study, Hogg changed his playful face just now and turned to Schuchmann.

"Of course, I promised my boss a long time ago that I would accompany her to Germany." Schuchmann wasn't in the slightest curious about why Hogg asked him that, and just shrugged his shoulders at Hogg. "Hogg, I know you don't trust strangers easily, but you must trust this boss of ours. Didn't you notice that the boss had been observing our expressions and the way he looked at us when he showed us those blueprints, and I wouldn't have the slightest doubt that such a person would harm me? ”

After listening to Schuchman's words, Hogg suddenly realized what had just happened, and then changed color and asked Schuchman, "You mean, it's not an accident that the boss suddenly took out such a document, maybe there is no so-called gold on the coast of Alaska, and the boss was just testing the two of us just now?" ”

"Hogg, you're not stupid, I thought you would come back to Shanghai after you became stupid in Nanjing." Schuchmann nodded in satisfaction, and continued to joke to Hogg. "You won't know what the boss has been through, but I'm 100% sure that the boss won't lie to us. So, what we need to worry about now is how to get enough money to buy land in Alaska, I think, the only way to go to Germany is to accompany the boss, he didn't say that he could get a lot of money in Germany. ”

Shu Heman said in and out of his words that Lu Yuan was testing the two of them just now, but he definitely didn't lie to himself. Hogg thought back to the whole experience in the study just now, and found that it seemed to be basically consistent with Schuchmann's judgment. Turning around and glancing at the door of the study, Hogg immediately lowered his voice and said to Scheuchmann, "The boss is terrible, he has such a scheming at such a young age, and if he is an adult, I don't know what kind of realm he will play." ”

Lu Yuan in the study didn't know that Hogg and the two were waiting in the corridor outside the study to talk about themselves secretly, thinking back to the whole thing just now, Lu Yuan found that he seemed to be too anxious just now, but he didn't know if Hogg and the two would think that they were testing them just now. "Oh my God, I made a mistake." Lu Yuan let out a long sigh, and the whole person leaned back and fell into deep thought in the sofa.

Lu Yuan is not a qualified otaku in the later life, and he only spends a lot of time paying attention to online games or online reading materials on weekdays, and wants to find a way out for Schuhman and them in the future, but Lu Yuan really can't think of any good way. It's hard to tell Schuchman that they will hold on silently for decades, wait for Microsoft or Apple to go public, buy a large number of their shares, and then enjoy their old age.

For the opportunity to make a lot of money in the United States in his previous life, the only thing Lu Yuan can remember is the entertainment documentary called Bering Sea's gold rush, and the father and son who owned the excavation boat dug up a lot of gold sand. It's just that Lu Yuan forgot that now he mentioned to Schuchman and Hogg about going to Alaska to buy land to prepare for gold, which in itself sounds unrealistic, and it is no wonder that Schuchman and Hogg think that Lu Yuan is testing the two of them.

After the secret conversation in the study, Lu Yuan returned to the state of daily recuperation, and Fu Bo also specially invited Chinese medicine to regulate Lu Yuan's body, and Lu Yuan was in pain when he drank the Chinese medicine soup. "Boss, don't complain about Old Hansen taking the opportunity to lower the price, he can offer this price, which is actually very good." Hogg, who came back from Hansen's bar, reported to Lu that he had replaced Schuhmann to trade with Hansen, but Lu Yuan was not very satisfied with the price Hansen offered, so Hogg complained so much.

Mr. Hansen said that the black market business is not easy to do, and the Japanese already account for more than half of the black market business. In particular, the business of precious metals is almost completely occupied by the Japanese, and he has done his best to be able to offer this price. As he spoke, Hogg took out the dollars and Deutsche marks he had exchanged from Hansen from his purse and placed them on the table, which had been specially exchanged for use after landing in Germany.

"I only exchanged 20,000 marks and 3,000 US dollars, and the rest was collected according to your orders, and the ocean and gold bars were handed over to Fauber, and the cash is here." Hogg wanted to leave after handing over the bill, but was stopped by Lu Yuan, who was sitting behind the desk, Hogg had no choice but to sit down on the sofa opposite the desk according to Lu Yuan's instructions.

"Hogg, do you want to go to Germany this time? I heard that you still have a lot of old friends in Germany, don't you want to go back and see them? I can ask Fauber to help you prepare some gifts. Lu Yuan looked at Hogg with a smile, threw the cigar in his hand and gave it to Hogg, and the latter was already bitter at the moment, and he had no interest in going to Germany at all.

Hearing this, Hogg hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, boss, I don't want to go to Germany for the time being. And I haven't been in touch with my friends in years, so maybe they've already moved. I think Shanghai is very good, the air here is good, and the people are also very good, so I am ready to stay in Shanghai for retirement without going there. When Hogg said this, his expression was extraordinarily sincere, but Lu Yuan didn't believe what Hogg said, especially when Hogg said that he was going to retire in Shanghai, Lu Yuan secretly pouted in his heart, saying that this thing was taking himself as a fool.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to be kind to Hogg, but as soon as he saw the expression on Hogg's face, Lu Yuan couldn't help but reach out and slam the table. "Hogg, would you like to hear my opinion? As I have insisted before, I firmly believe that the Japanese will not be able to occupy all of China, and that Chinese resistance will not stop. It is certain that the Japanese will be driven out of China by then, and when the Chinese have real armed power, do you think they will allow such a thing as a concession in their own country? ”

Lu Yuan's words made Hogg frown, according to Lu Yuan's thinking, as long as the Chinese can drive the Japanese out of China, they will definitely not allow the concession to continue to survive in the country. Hogg wanted to refute Lu Yuan, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while, and the issue of suggesting that the government take back the concession seemed to have been raised since the Beiyang era. "Hogg, you may say that Britain and the United States will not allow the Chinese to harm their interests in China, but we can make an assumption that if the Japanese cannot occupy all of China in a short period of time, will they turn their war eyes to South Asia in desperate need of resources?"

"It seems that South Asia is more easily occupied by the Japanese than China, which resists to the end, and the Japanese are not fools and know what choice to make. Once the Japanese army attacks South Asia, will Britain and the United States, whose interests have been harmed, still secretly support Japan? What we are going to Germany for, Hogg, you should know. Germany's first born is obviously a hero-like figure, once Germany is ready for war, do you think there will be another world war? You don't think that the British and French armies will be the opponents of the Germans, do you? ”

Lu Yuan disrupted the entire world pattern in just a few words, and after Hogg followed Lu Yuan's train of thought and made associations, he was already shocked into a cold sweat just after thinking about the beginning. "I know I'm afraid, although this is just a hypothesis now, it doesn't mean that it won't happen. Shanghai is not a happy land, and the Chinese government will take back all the concessions sooner or later, so the United States is your ideal home in the future, so consider my suggestion. ”

Lu Yuan fooled Hogg half-truthfully, and then left the study with his hands behind his back and under Hogg's gaze. "Schuchmann, I now know why you agreed to accompany your boss to Germany, it's terrible, it's terrible." Hogg walked out of the study a little dejected, no matter who was hit by a young man who was only a teenager, it would probably be Hogg's expression at the moment. Hogg's complaint made Schuchmann grin, this friend of his is good at everything, he just likes to show off his little cleverness, and now it's okay, and finally he was choked by the little boss.

After thinking about Lu Yuan's words, Hogg was finally honest, and no longer mentioned the matter of staying in Shanghai for retirement, and spent the whole day with Schuhmann discussing going to Germany. Luca came to Shanghai three days later than expected, and Hogg did not waste these three days, before Luca rushed to Shanghai, Hogg and Schuchmann poured out all the stolen goods that Lu Yuan had gotten, in exchange for two large bags of oceans for Lu Yuan.

"Fauber, I may go abroad for a while soon, don't worry, this time it will be safe, and Schuchmann and Hogg will follow me to Germany." After emptying the belongings piled up in the basement, Lu Yuan called Fu Bo into his study. "Although the Japanese occupied Shanghai, the Shanghai concession was safe for a short time. According to my thoughts, I am going to send you and Aunt Fu to Sichuan, after all, Sichuan is far away from the mountains and rivers, and the Japanese can't hit there. ”

"It's just that you and Aunt Fu's bodies are afraid that they will not be able to bear it by then, and besides, Schuchmann and Hogg's family will stay here in Shanghai this time, so I think you should stay in Shanghai first. Here are 3,000 oceans and 1,000 dollars, and under the tree in our yard, I still have 50 big yellow croaker. Fauber, during the time I am away from Shanghai, our family will be handed over to you, and if there is something tricky, call Mr. Hansen, he is German, and the Japanese dare not provoke him. ”

Lu Yuan explained the good things to Fauber, and Luca brought two SS soldiers to the door to deliver the ferry ticket to Lu Yuan, and when he saw the ferry ticket sent by Luca, Fauber believed that Lu Yuan was really going to Germany. There are three tickets, Lu Yuan will take Hogg and Schuchmann to Germany together, which is also Lu Yuan has already passed with Luca, and Luca also promised that the SS will definitely not embarrass Hogg and Schuchmann at that time.
