Lost and Spy

Chapter 701 Two Bosses
No matter at what time, talking about the history of the luxurious and eccentric Greater Shanghai is inseparable from Yu Qiaqing!

He came to Shanghai penniless, started as an apprentice, and gradually became a comprador, a Ningbo businessman leader, and then opened a bank.

Even the Chairman, without the full support of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol headed by Yu Qiaqing, would definitely not be able to succeed.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols have always occupied a pivotal position in China's modern history.

Behind the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, and the Anti-Japanese War, you can see the figures of these financial predators in Shanghai.And the leader of these people is Yu Qiaqing.

On the road to prosperity, Yu Qiaqing had done bad things, many of them, but when the Anti-Japanese War came, he had the patriotic backbone of a national businessman, and that was enough.

Meng Shaoyuan had heard of Yu Qiaqing's great name a long time ago, but he had never dealt with him face-to-face.

This time he was going to Ningbo, so he had to pay him a visit no matter what.

No matter what tasks are waiting for him in Ningbo, Yu Qiaqing, who has a lot of influence and connections there, is definitely a hurdle that he can't get around.

On the way to Yu Qiaqing's house, citizens and students marching in support of the Anti-Japanese War can be seen everywhere, and the patrols are also busy watching for anyone who takes the opportunity to cause trouble.

A group of Japanese ronin rushed over, trying to break up the parade.

But the townspeople and students joined hands and shouted:

"Down with Japanese imperialism, China will surely win!"

What a citizen, what a student.

Those patrolmen disappeared one by one under such a chaotic scene.

this gang...

Suddenly Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up, he guessed his mission to Ningbo!
That's right, it must be related to this mission!

I was too busy and confused, why didn't I connect the two?
Meng Shaoyuan felt excited in an instant, wishing he could go to Ningbo right now.

No matter what you miss, you can't miss that historic great scene...

……

In the spacious living room, there are four mahogany chairs in two rows, and a mahogany coffee table beside the chairs.

On the two mahogany grand master chairs in the middle, the one on the left is carved into the cloud dragon, and the one on the right is carved with the Izumo dragon!

A circle around the table between the two chairs is carved with eight phoenixes grabbing pearls.

There is a plaque at the top with three big characters written on it:

Tianxutang!
Really magnificent!
Meng Shaoyuan and Xu Chengbo were invited in. Before their buttocks were hot, they heard a voice:
"Which one is Boss Meng? Who is Boss Meng!"

Then, I saw a man in his seventies with a fair complexion and wearing a gray robe hurried out.

Yu Qiaqing!
"Boss Yu, I'm next to Meng Shaoyuan."

"You are Boss Meng?" Yu Qiaqing took Meng Shaoyuan's hand in disregard of etiquette: "Oh, you are Boss Meng? I have heard of your name for a long time, but I wish I had the chance to meet you. I am so lucky to be able to visit my humble house today. .”

I have heard for a long time that Yu Qiaqing is the best man in Shanghai, no matter if he is Chinese or foreigner, he is like a fish in water when dealing with people.

See you today, is it more than that?

Although Meng Shaoyuan is famous in Shanghai, he is more famous on the intelligence front.

Yu Qiaqing was different. He was very famous. He knew a lot of people in the business and political circles.

Meng Shaoyuan was in front of him, so his qualifications were too shallow.

But when Yu Qiaqing saw Meng Shaoyuan this time, she was so polite, and her tone was full of appreciation and respect. No matter who it was, no one would not have a good impression of him after being treated like this by him.

In particular, his seemingly disregard of etiquette has given the guests great satisfaction to the greatest extent.

"Please sit down, please sit down." Yu Qiaqing asked Meng Shaoyuan to sit down anyway, and then sat down: "I have heard that there is a boss Meng in Shanghai. He is young and promising, and he is truly amazing. , full of passion and ambition, the Japanese who were killed were terrified at hearing the news, I am a young hero born in China, why worry about a strong enemy?"

Meng Shaoyuan was a little embarrassed by his praise.

But Yu Qiaqing continued to say: "Last time, one of my fellow countrymen offended the Japanese. I had no idea what to do. Someone reminded me why I didn't ask Boss Meng to find a solution? But I, Yu Qiaqing, have made friends all over the world. I just don’t recognize you, Boss Meng. There is nothing I can do. Boss Luo Zhujun from Jinjiang told me that if you find Manager Xu from Hang Lung, you will naturally find Boss Meng.

When Manager Xu heard about this trivial matter, why did Boss Meng help me, so he helped me.It's amazing, Boss Meng has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, a businessman even treats the Japanese as nothing, admiration, admiration!I thought about thanking Boss Meng, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Boss Meng came to the humble house every day, and I finally settled one of my worries. "

Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "I've heard about this too. It's just five Japanese wanderers making trouble, and Manager Xu took care of it."

Xu Chengbo also smiled and said, "Why should Boss Yu bother about small things? I invited a few people, tied up those five Japanese wanderers and threw them into the Huangpu River."

At the beginning, Yu Qiaqing was also taken aback when she heard what happened.

He had heard of Meng Shaoyuan's name a long time ago, and thought that the story about Meng Shaoyuan was exaggerated, but this incident convinced him ever since.

Japan occupied Shanghai, and the Japanese swaggered, and no one wanted to offend them.

Xu Chengbo was only Meng Shaoyuan's subordinate, who was in charge of business, but he killed five Japanese in one go, as if nothing had happened, such an understatement.

This young director of the military command is really not to be underestimated.

Yu Qiaqing was good at making friends, so she wanted to visit Meng Shaoyuan at that time, but then she thought, Meng Shaoyuan was a spy and he was a businessman, so it might be inconvenient to visit rashly, so the matter was delayed.

"Boss Yu is an elder from Shanghai Beach. Meng Shaoyuan is just a junior. It is the right thing for a junior to help the elders. Boss Yu must not take it to heart."

When Meng Shaoyuan said this, Yu Qiaqing valued him even more.

This person is young and powerful, and holds an important position. Shanghai Beach is so complicated, but he can handle it with ease. According to legend, he has many subordinates, all of whom possess unique skills, but he behaves so humbly in front of him, and considers himself a junior. But it is rare.

"It's a little presumptuous to come to the door today." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "Therefore, this junior has prepared a gift, and please accept it with a smile from Boss Yu."

"What's so funny about that?"

As soon as Yu Qiaqing finished speaking, Meng Shaoyuan took out something from his pocket.

As soon as this kind of thing was taken out, the expressions of everyone in Yu Qiaqing's subordinates changed.

A Browning pistol!

Yu Qiaqing looked at his subordinates not to act rashly, and said, "I don't quite understand this gift."

"Boss Yu." Meng Shaoyuan put the gun on the case table and pushed it in front of Yu Qiaqing: "Boss Yu wants to have a firearm at home, but this gun is different. This is Meng Shaoyuan's carry-on gun, which has killed many Japanese People. If the Japanese kill a lot, the gun will naturally have a murderous look. Boss Yu is so proud that he firmly refuses to cooperate with the Japanese, and even cuts off all economic ties with the Japanese. How can such integrity not be admired?

But the ferocity of the Japanese is well known, and today I dared to use this gun as a gift, hoping to use the murderous aura on the gun to suppress all evil and scare away all Xiaoxiao. "

"well!"

Yu Qiaqing was overjoyed, picked up the gun, and couldn't put it down: "Since I came to Shanghai, I have received more than tens of millions of gifts? But only this gift from Boss Meng is the most suitable for me!"

He put the gun away: "It's not indecent to come and go, Boss Meng gave me such a generous gift, I don't know what gift I should return to Boss Meng?"

He is a smart man, and he knew that Meng Shaoyuan's visit today was definitely not on a whim, and he must have asked for his help for something.

"Boss Yu speaks quickly, so I won't hide it."

Meng Shaoyuan interfaced and said: "I was ordered to go to Ningbo to carry out a mission. Ningbo is very close to Shanghai, and it took a day or two for the Japanese to develop there. The situation is complicated. Meng Shaoyuan was a foreigner. When he went to Ningbo, he seemed to be blind. Furthermore, if there is an emergency, two fists are no match for four hands, and I really don’t know where to go for help.”

Yu Qiaqing pondered there for a while: "Boss Meng is going this time to deal with the Japanese?"

"That was my job."

Yu Qiaqing didn't hesitate too much: "Let's not say that I owe Boss Meng a favor, just on the level of united resistance against Japan, no matter whether it is you, Boss Meng or someone else, since you have found me, Yu Qiaqing, then there is absolutely no excuse for rejection."

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed: "So, thank you, Boss Yu."

"Thank me for a while." Yu Qiaqing said slowly there: "You are right. Although Ningbo is not as good as Shanghai, Zhenhai Port is extremely important. It is the main way of my life to the outside world. The Japanese also know this. Although Ningbo There is no war yet, but the Japanese have painstakingly developed it for more than ten years, and there are many spies and traitors, who are eyeing this place.

Last year when the Battle of Shanghai broke out, the Japanese spies took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble in Ningbo, killing people and setting fires everywhere, which made the people of Ningbo panic. Although they were suppressed later, most of the Japanese spies and traitors took advantage of the chaos and lurked down, keeping close to the Shanghai side. Contact, trying to find opportunities to assist the Japanese occupation of Ningbo in one fell swoop. "

Meng Shaoyuan also knew about these things.

Wu Chengzhang, station chief of the Ningbo Station of the Army Command, even asked for emergency help from Shanghai. Zhou Weilong personally sent him a group of capable spies, which barely stabilized the situation in Ningbo.

However, in Ningbo, a large number of Japanese agents are still lurking and ready to sabotage.

"Boss Meng." Yu Qiaqing suddenly mentioned a person's name: "Have you heard of Chu Xiuyan?"

"I have an impression." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and said, "This man was originally from the Jianghu, but later he abandoned his martial arts and went into business. He is very patriotic. I heard that he also contributed a lot during the Ningbo Rebellion."
