Lost and Spy

Chapter 111 Economic Experts
you are lying!

When you said the phrase "we had dinner together once", your tone was too calm, even a little low.

For Japanese civilians, having dinner with a nobleman is something worth showing off for a lifetime, especially in front of a member of the Matsudaira family, and it will never appear in the tone.

There is only one possibility, his lack of confidence!

When he said "Is Mao-sama okay now?", he quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva after finishing speaking.

That's a guilty conscience, worrying that your words will be exposed.

"Mao-sama" was said a total of two times, although it was said coherently, but when it came to "Mao", the tone of voice was slightly aggravated, and "sir" returned to the original tone.

That's subconsciously pumping up for myself, making myself convinced of the existence of this person!

Convinced of this person's existence?

There is no "Mao Matsudaira" at all?
Hiroshi Shijima is testing himself?

That's right!

There is a high probability that this is the case.

Hiroshi Ishijima has never met anyone from the Matsudaira family, but he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so he deliberately named "Mao-sama" as a fictional character.

Meng Shaoyuan's mind was spinning rapidly, but he kept sneering, making Shi Daokuan not sure what he was thinking there.

The judgment is basically certain, but you must leave yourself a way out.

"I don't know Mao-sama, and I haven't even heard of Matsudaira Mao." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "The surname Songping has a special meaning, which symbolizes nobility. So there are always a few untouchables. , trying every means to establish a relationship with the Matsudaira family..."

A name came to Meng Shaoyuan's mind:

Takahashi is right!

The Japanese royal baron who went to Nanjing to rescue Jiro Matsumoto!

"Not only the Songping family, but also the Jingyi family and Takahashi family." Meng Shaoyuan kept sneering there: "Last month, before I came to China, I went to visit the Baron Takahashi's family, and the baron also mentioned this matter ..."

The Takahashi family is coming to China, these Japanese spies must know.

Sure enough, when they heard the name "Takahashi Jiazheng", Hiroshi Shidao and others suddenly became solemn.

Meng Shaoyuan was already very sure in his heart: "The things that Lord Baron encountered were even more absurd. Once, someone used his name to defraud a company of [-] yen. This incident brought great damage to the reputation of Lord Baron. Harmful. Therefore, Director Shidao, I suggest that you carefully examine the identity of the so-called 'Mao Matsudaira'!"

He can tell whether a person is lying or not, and also knows how to tell a lie.

It is impossible for Shi Daowan to know about Takahashi's family.

And if I say "fake identity" in advance, people's psychology will be naturally guided, thinking that since the other party has voluntarily said this, then it is a kind of frankness, dismissive of false identity, and then produces a kind of A wonderful sense of trust.

Of course, if there is such a person as "Mao Matsudaira", I can deny that he has any relationship with the Matsudaira family.

Even if Hiroshi Shidao wants to investigate the authenticity of his identity, it will take a few days.

How many days?

enough.

"Ah, so that's the case?" Shi Daokuan put on a look of surprise and anger: "No wonder, that time when he was leaving, he asked me to borrow a sum of money. It turned out to be a liar. Mr. Matsudaira , I am so ashamed. Money loss is nothing at all, but if it brings reputation loss to the Matsudaira family, I can only atone for it by harakiri!"

Meng Shaoyuan guessed right.

Hiroshi Ishijima deliberately fabricated a virtual character such as "Mao-sama" to test "Shun Matsudaira".

If "Matsudaira Jun" said that he knew "Mao-sama", then this is definitely a fake.

The doubts in Hiroshi Shidao's heart were basically dispelled.

Great.

Zhengjin Bank was originally run by government and businessmen. If you can get to know these nobles, it will not only benefit the bank, but also greatly improve your own status.

These Japanese privileged classes can not only enjoy tax exemption for any of their own industries, but once they become a shareholder of a certain company, the company's tax can also be greatly reduced.

The benefits are indescribable.

"Okay, don't talk about these liars anymore." Meng Shaoyuan said impatiently, "I have a sum of gold that needs to be temporarily deposited in your bank..."

"Master Matsudaira, it is my honor to serve you. May I take the liberty to ask the doctor, how much?"

"3000 taels!"

"3000 taels?" Shi Daokuan gasped.

"This is a secret fund." Meng Shaoyuan's expression became serious: "The conquest of the entire China is the most urgent goal of the empire. And the conquest of China must start with the bribery of those high-ranking officials of the Chinese government... This is the only thing I can tell yours."

Hiroshi Shidao didn't have the slightest doubt.

"The country's financial pressure is very heavy." Meng Shaoyuan looked worried: "In order to ensure the conquest of China, this year, the empire's military budget has accounted for 40.00% of the country's budget. Seven. Last year, the average annual income of the empire's citizens was 166.5 Yen, but taking Tokyo as an example, the average citizen’s expenditure on maintaining a minimum standard of living is 109.2 yen..."

Now, if anyone says that the "Shun Matsudaira" in front of him is a fake, Hiroshi Shidao will definitely slap him.

He has a clearer understanding of Japan's economic research than he does financially.

It's not a big noble, where would there be such top-secret and detailed information.

What Meng Shaoyuan is most grateful for at this time should be the small glasses.

Little Glasses was a good friend of his own era.

His surname is Wang, and he is a military fan. He especially likes to study everything about China and Japan before and after World War II, including the national conditions, military and economics.

Every time he got together, he would lead the topic to this, and then talk for hours on end.

Meng Shaoyuan himself was also interested, and he remembered everything firmly.

Today, it can finally come in handy.

"So, in order to raise this batch of gold, we spent a lot of energy. The nobles of the Matsudaira family, the Ii family, and the Takahashi family all donated money."

Meng Shaoyuan emphasized his tone: "I was ordered to bring the gold to Shanghai first, and I will deposit this batch of gold in your bank, Zhengjin Bank, which cooperates closely with the government, and we all trust it. But you must remember to keep it secret, especially Those in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of the Navy cannot let this news..."

Once again, the factionalism of the Japanese secret service is at play.

Hiroshi Shijima is a spy belonging to the chaebol faction, of course he knows the stakes: "Please rest assured, Matsudaira-sama, no one will know except those in this room."

"That's good." Meng Shaoyuan and Zhu Yanni stood up together: "At 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, I will come with gold. You should open the door early and prepare. Don't come out to greet you, avoid attracting attention!"

"Okay, Master Matsudaira, I will!"
