Lost and Spy

Chapter 480
Dingchuan Tower.

"Today's Changju Chartered Market".

At the door, a sign stood there.

"Changju" is the company of the Qiu family, and when Man Sichuan mentioned Changju, everyone knew him.

The car stopped.

Qiu Xingchang opened the car door:

"Mr. Meng, we're here."

Meng Shaoyuan walked into the Dingchuan Tower.

There are ten tables inside.

Seeing Qiu Xingchang coming in with Meng Shaoyuan, everyone stood up.

Meng Shaoyuan saw that Lu Yixuan was there.

Lu Yixuan went up to welcome them and introduced them one by one.

Qiu Xingchang's grandfather, Qiu Desong, the actual head of the Qiu family, Qiu Xingchang's father, Qiu Shenghe, the chairman of "Changju", Han Boyong, the general manager of "Changju"...

I heard before that the Qiu family did not use their own family members as the general manager, but hired someone from outside. From this point of view, they are already very enlightened and advanced.

Shi Xiaoxian, the chief rudder of the Gelaohui in Chongqing, also came.

Not only him, but also many of Chongqing Pao's law-enforcement masters, second sage masters, third masters in charge, etc. also came.

This Shi Xiaoxian is short in stature and looks thin, but his energy is extremely huge.

The rest are employees of the two companies "Changju" and "Henglong", the family members of the Qiu family, and the managers of Chongqing Paogezhong.

This time there was a lot of ostentation, and even Mr. Qiu Desong, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came out. It can be seen that the Qiu family put a lot of thought into welcoming Meng Shaoyuan.

And obviously made two-handed preparations.

Meng Shaoyuan was invited to come, and everyone was very happy.If Meng Shaoyuan didn't come, it can also be said that Changju and Henglong had dinner together to deepen their relationship.

"Mr. Meng, please, please."

Qiu Sheng and Qin Qin invited Meng Shaoyuan to sit at the main table.

The main table is placed on the second floor, and there is only one table like them on the second floor.

The main seat is Qiu Desong, the old man of the Qiu family, and the main and guest seats on the left and right are Meng Shaoyuan and Shi Xiaoxian.

On Meng Shaoyuan's right is Lu Yixuan, on Shi Xiaoxian's left is Qiu Shenghe, and next to him is Han Boyong.

Qiu Xingchang was also arranged at the main table.

Obviously, this was also deliberately arranged by Qiu Shenghe.

There are seven people at a table.

The opening remarks are naturally for Mr. Qiu to speak.

"Everyone, it's an honor to be here. Please have a meal." Qiu Desong actually said this.

Qiu Shenghe came to the railing on the second floor and shouted to the bottom: "The old man said, please have dinner!"

Immediately, the cups and cups below were mixed, and the cups were pushed and changed.

Qiu Shenghe returned to the table: "Father, they started eating."

"Okay, okay." Qiu Desong said immediately: "Mr. Meng holds an important position and a special position. I don't dare to publicize it too much, so as not to be taken advantage of by a small opportunity with ulterior motives. Therefore, I told others today that it was just a grand party. The officer is a distinguished guest at our banquet, and no one knows the identity of the officer except the one on this table."

It really makes sense for the Qiu family to have such a reputation in Sichuan, and even these details have been taken into consideration.

Then, Qiu Desong started the real opening speech: "Although Chief Meng is far away in Shanghai and Nanjing, his reputation has also spread to Sichuan. The Japanese invaded, and Chief Meng fought the enemy bravely, which made the Japanese frightened. I have grown my Chinese ambition. I admire it very much. People in Sichuan admire it very much. It is a blessing for Chongqing and Sichuan for Mr. Meng to come to Chongqing. I prepare a little wine today, thinking that Mr. Meng will take the wind and wash away the dust. Everyone, please fill your glass!"

All raised their wine cups and drank in one gulp.

Qiu Xingchang got up immediately and poured wine for everyone.

It was specifically explained before that even if the food is served, if it is delivered to the entrance on the second floor, Qiu Xingchang will naturally bring it.

No one is allowed on the second floor without permission.

The Qiu family was extremely meticulous in their work, taking every aspect into consideration.

"Mr. Meng is not only a great hero, but also a genius in the business world." Qiu Shenghe also said, "Since Mr. Lu was sent to Chongqing, the two companies of Changju Henglong have been flourishing. Manager Han and I often say that if If Hang Lung doesn’t come, I, Chang Ju, would just be living in Sichuan, and now that Hang Lung is coming, we’ll be able to open up our external situation.”

Business wizards?

Meng Shaoyuan found it strange that this was the first time someone called him that.

"Be polite, be polite." Meng Shaoyuan said modestly: "Shaoyuan is ashamed to be a great hero or a genius. He just upholds his military duties and sacrifices his life to kill the enemy. This time the government and refugees entered Sichuan in large numbers. It will only increase the pressure in Sichuan, and the elders in Sichuan will feel more difficult, and it will cause trouble for Sichuan."

"How can Chief Meng say such a thing?" Qiu Desong said with a serious face: "When the national crisis is at the forefront, the people of the whole country are nothing more than one mind and go to the national disaster together. Although I am located in the border of Sichuan, I am full of enthusiasm, but it is no different. When the government came, we We do our best to welcome. Refugees come and we try to accommodate them, that's all."

"That's right, that's right." Qiu Shenghe interjected: "Last year, Sichuan was hit by disasters for years, and the whole country actively helped them. Now, it's time for me, Sichuan, to repay you. What's more, taking Chongqing as an example, The sudden influx of so many people into Chongqing caused all kinds of difficulties, and chaos and crowding were unavoidable, but there were other benefits.

I predict that this chaotic situation will only last for two or three months, and then it will gradually settle down.The sudden increase of so many people will inevitably increase countless business opportunities.Please think about it, first of all, the factories and machines in Nanjing and other big cities were relocated to Sichuan in a large scale, which gave me a leap forward in Sichuan's industry and commerce.Those talents can greatly promote the development of Sichuan.

Secondly, among so many refugees, few of them came with all their belongings. When they settled down in Chongqing, they needed food, drink, clothing and shelter. Where did these things come from?It can't fall from the sky, it can only be solved on the spot, so the large and small businesses in Chongqing have added countless opportunities out of thin air, which is a once-in-a-lifetime event. "

After all, it is a businessman. What others see is the chaos in Chongqing, but what they see is a huge business opportunity.

Meng Shaoyuan was deeply moved.

"That's right." Han Boyong nodded and said, "Not to mention, a pair of leather shoes imported from other places has sold for more than [-] yuan. Although the French currency has depreciated, the profit is still more than doubled. If It is said that leather shoes are not a necessity, so rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are indispensable, and they are all bullish all the way.”

Meng Shaoyuan frowned slightly.

This is good news for merchants, but not good news for refugees, whose wallets will dry up quickly.This prompted them to find a job quickly.

There are too many people and limited work, which will make the competition more intense, and the capital side can greatly reduce the remuneration.

But there is no way, this is not something that can be solved by oneself.

Let's take a step by step.

"Boss Meng, this is Master Shi Xiaoxian." Lu Yixuan was worried that Shi Xiaoxian would be left out in the cold: "When Heng Long first arrived in Chongqing, although there was great help from the Qiu family, Master Shi also put in a lot of thought and helped in every way. We are very busy."

"Mr. Lu, you are polite, you are polite." Shi Xiaoxian said in a strong Chongqing dialect: "Mr. Meng is not on stage, and the little Japanese is slandering things, but Mr. Meng insists on sticking to the waistband of his trousers and doing things with the little Japanese..."

Out of the ten sentences, Meng Shaoyuan could only understand one sentence at most. Fortunately, Qiu Xingchang was there to help translate.

It probably means that Meng Shaoyuan is very great, and the little Japanese came to China to make trouble, and Meng Shaoyuan was desperate to fight them.From now on in Chongqing, as long as Meng Shaoyuan gives orders for anything, Brother Pao and Brother Pao will definitely help with everything.

"Master Shi is a hero." On his site, Meng Shaoyuan also complimented: "In the past, the Sichuan Road Protection Movement, all over the province organized comrades' associations for road protection, and then developed into an anti-Qing armed force. The backbone. Later Pao Ge besieged Chengdu with a crowd of [-] and forced the collapse of the Manchu Qing regime. I admired it very much."

Shi Xiaoxian was overjoyed when he heard that Officer Meng not only knew Brother Pao very well, but also praised him so much.

Before, Qiu Desong had a special talk with him, saying that the national government moved here with Chongqing as its accompanying capital, and the situation in Sichuan would inevitably change.

I'm afraid that if you walk on the streets of Chongqing and pull someone casually, they may be government officials.Therefore, how to establish a good relationship with the government is a top priority right now.

The chief rudder in Chongqing is Shi Xiaoxian, the chief rudder in Chengdu is Chen Junshan, and Leng Kaitai, the chief rudder, constitutes the main force of Sichuan Paoge.

Chen Junshan is old and rarely manages affairs, so the main competition comes from Shi Xiaoxian and Leng Kaitai.Although the two were polite on the surface, they were about to eat each other up in their hearts.

During Liu Xiang's reign in Sichuan, Leng Kaitai helped him a lot.

Once Liu Xiang bought a large amount of guns and ammunition from Shanghai to Sichuan, and was robbed by Yang Sen's subordinates pretending to be bandits while passing through Wanxian. This encounter made Liu Xiang very angry.

At the same time, the chairman of the committee also strictly controlled the waterways of Nanjing and Wuhan, for fear that the Sichuan army would smuggle weapons from the waterways.It happened that Liu Congyun, Liu Xiang's military adviser, knew Leng Kaitai's superb skills, so he recommended Leng Kaitai to Liu Xiang.

When Leng Kaitai heard that he bought weapons from Shanghai and entered Sichuan, he even said, "Why didn't you mention such a small matter earlier?"

As expected, Leng Kaitai went to Shanghai to purchase a large amount of ammunition from the Tuoqing gang, and was escorted by French warships along the way. After being dredged by Yang Qingshan from the Hongmen gang in Hankou, the large amount of ammunition arrived in Chongqing safely.

Liu Xiang didn't expect that a paoge leader could be so clever, so he kept Leng Kaitai by his side, first made him the deputy director of the Yichang office, and later promoted to the director of Sichuan Aviation Inspection and the intelligence director of the Sichuan Aftermath Supervision Office.

As a result, Leng Kaitai suddenly became a member of the official family.

In contrast, although Shi Xiaoxian is based in Chongqing and manages tens of thousands of pao brothers, he has already fallen behind in the competition.

It's just that they never expected that the national government's move of the capital to Chongqing this time was like a big pie falling from the sky, giving Shi Xiaoxian a rare opportunity.

Qiu Desong introduced to him that Meng Shaoyuan is a popular man in the military command with great energy. If he can establish a good relationship with him, the unfavorable situation of competition with Leng Kaitai can be reversed in an instant.

So this time Shi Xiao came to the banquet first, it was determined to please Meng Shaoyuan.
