Lost and Spy

Chapter 555
Never, never, never, never told the amount of money in front of Meng Shaoyuan.

What would it be like for a big fat sheep to be targeted by a big bad wolf?
Liu Guitang, a bastard, was recruited and defected to the Japanese. Now he has conflicts with the Japanese, and he is planning to engage in the so-called "Anti-Japanese War".

Soon, he will join the Japanese again.

Moreover, Lunan's confidant's troubles are a disaster for the land of Lunan.

Originally, Meng Shaoyuan didn't take him seriously. He was a traitor, far away in Shandong, and his arms couldn't be stretched that far, so let him fend for himself.

Anyway, this guy didn't have a good ending in the end.

But when he heard that Liu Mancai had brought 200 million oceans, Meng Shaoyuan's thoughts changed instantly.

Kill him!
Get rid of a harm for the southern Shandong area.

Even if he is in Shanghai, we must find a way to kill him!

It is really not appropriate to apply this sentence to Liu Guitang, but it really has some meaning.

Originally, according to the normal historical process, Liu Guitang would negotiate smoothly with Yan Xishan in Shanghai, and then accept the reorganization, and he could linger for several years before being wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

But now, Liu Guitang's fate has been changed in an instant just because Liu Man said 200 million oceans.

The headquarters of Jincheng Bank was originally located in Tianjin. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the headquarters moved to the Shanghai International Settlement to continue to guide the branches.

Liu Guitang hid in Tianjin for a long time. All the property he looted when he was a bandit was stored in Jincheng Bank, and this is probably one of the reasons why he chose to negotiate in Shanghai, right?
Meng Shaoyuan's attitude changed all of a sudden: "Ah, investing in Shanghai is extremely prudent, especially in this war-torn period, you can't be careless at all. And here in Shanghai, brother Liu, you don't know the situation. what……"

This name has changed, and it has become "Brother Liu".

Liu Mancai felt light all over his body.

Natao Liqing personally told the Liu family brothers that Meng Shaoyuan in Shanghai was deeply trusted by Dai Li.

With his help, nothing is impossible.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Guitang was so cruel that he took out the priceless jade bowl and gave it to Liu Mancai to make friends with Meng Shaoyuan.

This is called using one's own heart to save others' belly.

Who doesn't love money?In the face of big profits, everyone is greedy. Although he, Meng Shaoyuan, is a general in the army, he wouldn't be against money, would he?

Now, Director Meng actually calls himself "Brother Liu"?
Although Tao Liqing had worked in Shanghai, he only knew how capable Meng Shaoyuan was, and he was not a member of Meng Shaoyuan's inner circle. Of course, he didn't know that this Young Master Meng was not only cruel to the Japanese, but also famous for his heart. Black greedy for money.

Flies flew by in front of his eyes, and he had to find a way to pull out his wings to see if it was braised in soy sauce or steamed.

"Brother Liu." Meng Shaoyuan said with sincerity and sincerity: "Shanghai Beach, since the opening of the port, has been a mixed bag of good and bad people. There are all kinds of people. Especially there are more robbers and liars. How many businessmen come to Shanghai to do business? , because I didn't notice for a while, I fell into the trap of those crooks, and my family went bankrupt, and I lost everything. In this Huangpu River, there are so many corpses of bankrupt businessmen every year, hey..."

With a sigh, Liu Mancai was greatly moved.

Director Meng actually said this to himself without any concealment.

He really has never seen what is called a "bad guy".Liu Guitang is a bad guy and just a bandit. When he was rampant in Shandong, everyone was afraid of him and it was too late to run. Who would dare to lie to him?

Liu Mancai was used to helping him manage his property, and he was used to being arrogant. Even when he was an apartment in Tianjin, relying on his Japanese connections, he always said what he said, and never had to worry about being cheated.

What are the real "bad guys"?
It's not that he puts all the fierce looks on his face, or he yells and wants to kill people at every turn.

There are many scammers in Greater Shanghai, which is not wrong at all. Since the establishment of the public concession, it has become a paradise for scammers. Those scammers have deceived merchants from other places into living as if they were dead. The so-called "bankruptcy and ruin" is one thing. True.

Dodging people is nothing more than nodding your head, but these people often make you unable to survive or die.

This is the "bad guy".

For example, Meng Shaoyuan.

How many people were deceived by his "sincerity"?

For example, Liu Mancai is slowly walking into a trap now.

He probably never dreamed that they, who were accustomed to living in Shandong and Tianjin, had just arrived in Shanghai, and had just met Meng Shaoyuan, and they had specially given such a generous gift, but what Meng Shaoyuan wanted was how to get rich...killing people !
"Originally, these are none of my business. Whether there are many liars or few, I am a member of the military commander, and what I do is to serve the country." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "But your old brother Liu is a humble man. Being loyal and honest, and giving me such a big gift, I have no other advantages as a person, except that I am willing to do anything for my friends.

Brother Liu, listen to my advice, you must not tell people that you have 200 million oceans in Jincheng Bank in the future. You, kidnapping and extorting at the slightest, murdering and extorting goods at the worst, it's important, you must remember it. "

Liu Mancai was both moved and scared.

I heard that although Shanghai is a colorful world, it is very complicated and the water is very deep. Although there is gold everywhere, it depends on whether you have the life to pick it up.

Fortunately, I met Meng Shaoyuan and reminded myself in time.

"Mr. Meng, that's why I have to ask you for help." Liu Mancai said hastily.

"Brother Liu, if you think highly of me, just call me brother." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly, "I've always been indifferent to money, but since you regard me as a friend, I'll give up my life to protect you." Watching you. In this way, I will send you two people to protect you day and night, hehe, who dares to move from our military commander?"

"Mr. Meng... No, brother, thank you, thank you." Liu Mancai was infinitely grateful, and really regarded Meng Shaoyuan as a lifelong confidant.

You think, two military command agents protect themselves, what else do they have to worry about in Shanghai?
"As for investment." Meng Shaoyuan pondered: "There are many investment opportunities in Shanghai Beach, especially in the current war-torn period. It seems that everywhere is dangerous, but in fact there are opportunities everywhere. But we still need to be careful, we must be careful. Investment. Your brother treats me as a friend. I can’t do things that make my friends suffer. I can’t afford a single loss.

How about this, anyway, you still have to report the result of the negotiation to Liu Guitang, we are not in a hurry, I expect you will live in Shanghai permanently, take care of business in Shanghai, let's take our time, just a little bit, it's not a sure deal, We absolutely can't take out this money and that. If you watch more yourself, I will help you watch more. "

"Brother Gao Yi." Liu Mancai gave a thumbs up: "It is a great blessing in life to meet Brother Meng in Shanghai."

In his head, like most people, Meng Shao was originally a mighty general in the military. If he said anything about killing the Japanese and catching traitors, he must be cautious when cooperating with him.

But Liu Mancai would never believe him if he said he would kill people, steal money, and cheat people out of money. After all, he was an officer of the party and state. During the extraordinary period of the Anti-Japanese War, he could do such a thing?
He wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

"This thank you, wait until the deal is completed." Meng Shaoyuan calmly said: "But since you want to cooperate with me, about the profit sharing..."

At last it came to the important things.

If money was not mentioned, Liu Mancai would not believe it. Now that profit distribution is mentioned, Liu Mancai has no doubts: "That's easy to say, what does Brother Meng mean?"

"As for me, it's not easy to say anything now." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "I have to think carefully about what business to do, but I have something to say first, no matter what business it is, I have to get real money I can’t let you invest all the money, this way, firstly, I can show my sincerity in cooperation, and secondly, I can share the risks with you, brother.”

Liu Mancai was moved.

Originally, it was just for Meng Shaoyuan to provide protection in Shanghai Bund, but now he actually mentioned that he took the initiative to provide money. This kind of sincerity is absolutely unmistakable.

Only when the interests are bundled together can the other party do things sincerely.

"Brother Meng is a straightforward person." Liu Mancai gave a thumbs up: "Then I'm not polite, how about it, no matter what business you want to do in the future, the money you earn, or how much you invest in Brother Meng, I will give you an extra share." .”

"Let's talk about it." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "The person I sent to protect my brother will arrange it in a while. Brother, you should have a good rest here. At night, I will let them take you around Shanghai, and all expenses will be paid." I will be responsible for all expenses."

"Hey, brother, what an embarrassment."

"Brother, don't be polite to me." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and picked up the box containing the jade bowl: "You have given me such a great gift, how can I not show my kindness as a landlord? "

"Then you're welcome, I'll see you off." Liu Mancai sent him to the door, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, brother, I want to contact our Chief Liu and report to him the progress in Shanghai, but Shanghai to Shandong , It is extremely inconvenient to contact, I wonder if my brother can help you think of a way?"

Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Is there a radio station in Liu Guitang's place?"

"Yes, yes." Liu Mancai said hastily: "Mr. Liu bought a radio station at a high price, which is specially used for communication."

"That's easy." Meng Shaoyuan smiled, "I'm the director of the Special Office of the Shanghai District of the Military Command. It's a breeze to help you find a radio station for communication. Don't worry, I will give you one within a day." Get it on the radio."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Liu Mancai was very grateful.

This trip to Shanghai really went very smoothly. The main reason is that I got to know such a good brother Meng Shaoyuan. With his help, what else can I not handle?

Great Shanghai, what a wonderful place!
