Lost and Spy

Chapter 149 Rich but not strong

Meng Shaoyuan had no idea where he was taken.

The windows are covered with curtains.

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

It was a small building, very old, but there were a few guards standing at the door.

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

"Please."

No one questioned him either.

Meng Shaoyuan just walked in directly.

There was a servant who served him tea and left him alone.

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

A man who looked less than 40 years old, wearing round-frame glasses, and a refined temperament walked down the second floor slowly.

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

Song Ziwen!
Song Ziwen was startled instead: "Have you seen me?"

"No, Mr. Song."

Meng Shaoyuan was somewhat duplicity.

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

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

"It's very simple." Meng Shaoyuan had already figured out what to say: "Meng Shaoyuan rescued Tang Dujin once in a while, and he probably told you. The two who brought me here claimed to be from the anti-smuggling team, the tax police to fight against smuggling. Team, who else can mobilize besides Mr. Song?"

"No wonder Xiao Tang keeps saying that you are very smart in front of me. Sit down, sit down."

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

He picked up his coffee and took a sip: "Shao Yuan, I invite you here this time, and I'm really thanking you. If there is something wrong with Xiao Tang, I don't know how to explain it to Yulu. Not only that, but you also give It's such a big credit to him..."

Song Ziwen absolutely couldn't hide this matter.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and didn't say much.

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

Uh.

Embarrassed.

Isn't that what Meng Shaoyuan thought?But the problem is that it was said in person...

Hold on.

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

That is to say he has no malice.

"Yes, Mr. Song." Meng Shaoyuan decided to take a gamble: "When I knew Tang Dujin's identity, I decided to help him. If I can get Mr. Song's favor, it will be of great benefit to my future work."

He answered frankly.

Well, honestly.

Song Ziwen felt very satisfied.

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

God knows.

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

"However, I have resigned from all positions in the government." Song Ziwen said slowly: "Now I am only the chairman of the Bank of China. I can't help you much. And I have disputes with the chairman in many aspects. I'm afraid that if I try to help you, it will backfire instead."

You are welcome.

You, the Minister of Finance and the Vice President of the Executive Yuan, are indeed inappropriate, but you are still in power, and you are China's first God of Wealth.

Without your nod, who can make a decision on the reform of the currency system?

But these words cannot be said in person.

To talk around.

Meng Shaoyuan replied calmly: "A friend in adversity is a friend, and honesty is loyalty. Although Mr. Song is no longer an official in the government, Shaoyuan has seen and admired all the economic reforms you proposed. If you want to make China If the economy is doing well, it is absolutely impossible to leave you.”

Song Ziwen was very satisfied.

The Meng Shaoyuan in front of him is just a small spy, what can he know about the high-level affairs?
How could he know that he could still call the wind and rain when he was in the national government?
He even didn't know that although the chairman had conflicts with him, and even slapped the table to scold him, he would still respectfully invite himself to ask for his opinions during economic development and currency reform.

There is a good saying "a friend in adversity sees the truth, and toughness reveals loyalty".

It's rare for such words to come out of the mouth of a small spy.

There was nothing wrong with Song Ziwen's consideration.

Any normal person would think so.

But he didn't know one thing at all:

Meng Shaoyuan does not belong to this era at all.

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

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

Song Ziwen remembered that he worked hard for the country and worked hard without complaint, but when he resigned, the chairman of the committee did not try to keep him, and couldn't help but say:
“A candle lights others and consumes itself.”

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "The candle illuminates others, but destroys itself."

Song Ziwen was very surprised: "Do you understand English?"

"Yes, Mr. Song."

"To what extent?"

"No problems with communication."

Immediately, Song Ziwen looked at Meng Shaoyuan with admiration.

A small spy, so knowledgeable, and also proficient in English?
Why didn't I find such outstanding talents under Dai Li before?
"Where did you learn English?"

In front of him, he couldn't say that he was studying in the United States. Meng Shaoyuan bit the bullet and said: "In the past, my father hired an American teacher for Shaoyuan, and he taught him... It is said that this person is also an economic expert."

This sentence, but he said it on purpose.

Song Ziwen must be made to value himself, and to value himself very much.

Song Ziwen's interest in Meng Shaoyuan was fully aroused: "Then tell me about the economies of China and the United States."

Meng Shaoyuan is waiting for you to ask this question: "Shaoyuan is dull, talking nonsense. Since the 18th year of the Republic of China, the US economy has collapsed. In fact, in the 20s, there were already some unfavorable economic factors that were ignored or ignored. development trend.

While agriculture never fully recovered from the postwar depression, farmers remained poor throughout this period.

In addition, the so-called higher wage levels in the industrial sector are largely false.During this decade, the application of new machinery displaced large numbers of workers. . . .

This depression lasted for several years..."

He talked eloquently about the knowledge he had learned 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 repeatedly expressed surprise in his heart.

How could a secret agent know so much about the American economy?

"On the other hand, our country has entered a golden period in recent years." Meng Shaoyuan changed the subject: "In the past few years, my country's industrial growth rate has reached an average of 9.3%, 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, more than 2 kilometers of railways have been built, and more than 8 kilometers of roads have been opened. Civil aviation has opened up 12 routes in the past ten years, with a length of 1 kilometers. many kilometers.

Let's look at education again.During this period of time, the government started from the literacy campaign to eradicate illiteracy to the establishment of the Academia Sinica, and the education system finally took a complete structure.To catch up with the Western powers..."

This spy is incredible.

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

He is well aware of the economies of China and the United States.

"However, there are advantages and disadvantages." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "From the perspective of prosperity, only the southeastern coastal areas of China have reached the standard of economic prosperity. In terms of steel production, the steel production in this decade is not as good as Westernization The total amount of the exercise period..."

"Shao Yuan." Song Ziwen asked, "Where did you know all this?"

"Without it, Shaoyuan usually likes to read things in this field when he is free." Meng Shaoyuan said perfunctorily: "At present, there are four words to describe our 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 offensive would inevitably shift from North China to East China. His 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. ..."

"It's nonsense." Song Ziwen's face darkened: "China and Japan are friendly countries. Although there are occasional frictions at present, how can you talk about war?"

Meng Shaoyuan was not worried either, Song Ziwen was a staunch anti-Japanese faction:
"Mr. Song, Shaoyuan is bold. If Mr. Song thinks that there will be no war between China and Japan, what is the purpose of forming an elite tax police headquarters?

On January [-], the Tax Police Headquarters fought bloody battles, and almost all the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment and Second Battalion died heroically.

After the signing of the Songhu Agreement, in order to deal with emergencies in North China, Mr. Song secretly negotiated with Qian Zongze, the director of the Longhai Railway Bureau, to prepare more than 30 trains, concentrate them in Haizhou, and transport all the Tax Police Headquarters to Zhengzhou. Depart for Peiping.It's a pity that this matter was discovered by Liu Zhi, the chairman of HEN Province, and he called the chairman of the committee, and then he gave up. "

"That's enough, Shao Yuan."

Song Ziwen interrupted him: "Some words, don't say it if you hold it in your heart, and don't say it even if you beat yourself to death."

"Yes, Shao Yuan knew he was wrong."

"Who is right and who is wrong?" Song Ziwen smiled wryly: "Shao Yuan, help me, Dai Yunong, I'll say hello to him."

What he lacks most now is such talents who understand English, economics, and military affairs.

just forget it.

Meng Shaoyuan was too aware of how much he was worth, and his economical opinions were just read from the script: "Thank you Mr. Song for your kindness, but Shaoyuan seems to play a greater role in the Lixingshe. Mr. Song will be more important to Shaoyuan in the future If there is any reason, I dare not refuse, and do my best to repay Mr. Song's appreciation."

Song Ziwen actually knew that Dai Li would never let someone like Meng Shaoyuan go, and he didn't force him at the time: "You saved Xiao Tang, what do you need me to do for you?"

"arms."

Without even thinking about it, Meng Shaoyuan said, "I'm currently forming a secret operation team. I will figure out all the funds and weapons myself. Shaoyuan has already sent people to Shanghai to purchase, but..."

"I see." Song Ziwen nodded: "I'll help you find a solution from the Bank of Eight Nations, and see if I can get you a batch of weapons."

"Thank you Mr. Song, Shaoyuan never forgets!"

Meng Shaoyuan stood up overjoyed and said.
