Chapter 119 National Economy
"You have turned the public concession upside down."
Mrs. Qiangwei put down her coffee cup with a smile on her lips: "Yin Kesheng and eight of his bodyguards are dead. Zhengjin Bank was robbed, one dead and one injured. Shi Dao and a bank employee were kidnapped again... I just got the news.
Shi Dao died again... Mr. Meng, is there anything in this world that you dare not do?"
Yes, I have.
There are many things that your young master Meng doesn't dare to do.
"The masked man slaughtered the concession..."
Cai Xuefei took out a copy of today's newspaper, and the front page read about the spate of murders: "People in the concession are panicked, the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department vowed to offer rewards to solve the case... Major banks have strengthened security..."
She put down the newspaper: "Mr. Meng, there have been various robberies and murders in the concession in the past, but it seems that there has never been such a big commotion in my memory. Not to mention the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
Even Ji Yunqing was driven into panic. His disciples and disciples were now all over the concession, vowing to catch those masked men.
I heard that based on comprehensive evidence, Taihu gangster Xue Sanqiang is a major suspect. Mr. Meng, if Xue Sanqiang can't bear the pressure and takes the initiative to break the news and deny that he has anything to do with this matter, then I'm afraid they will start again.
Looking for a suspect?"
"He doesn't dare." Meng Shaoyuan said without even thinking: "Xue Sanqiang must avenge himself and retaliate. A person with this kind of character will definitely figure out the reason for himself and then catch the person who framed him.
, tortured to death.
Moreover, he is a tough gangster. He has been fighting with the government for so many years and has committed many murders. If he is caught, he will die. He will not do such stupid things.
Last but not least, Daniel knows who committed these crimes, but he won’t tell them, otherwise he will get out immediately after receiving the money. He needs a scapegoat, and who is more suitable than Xue Sanqiang? "
"Unlucky Xue Sanqiang."
Cai Xuefei couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Meng, you are very powerful. Before you decide to take action, you have imagined all the possibilities. What are you going to do next?"
"Digest these yen." Meng Shaoyuan immediately replied: "Madam, whether you use this huge sum of money yourself or deposit it in the bank, the risk is too great. I wonder if there is any way, madam?"
"Hongkong."
Cai Xuefei said without thinking: "Send it to Hong Kong, stay for a while, and then send it to our Cai family in Nanyang. The Cai family has a lot of business dealings with Japan. Such a sum of yen will be digested in a few times."
"Thank you so much, madam." Meng Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the money arrives in Hong Kong, you can search it and you won't be able to find it even if you lift the land three feet apart.
"However, this is stolen money." Cai Xuefei looked a little strange: "There is always a risk in digesting stolen money..."
What kind of person Meng Shaoyuan is, he immediately understood when he heard this: "Madam, the current price is 309 yen for 100 U.S. dollars. What exchange price does Madam think is more appropriate?"
"500! 100 U.S. dollars for 500 yen!"
OK, cruel enough!
Meng Shaoyuan used to read novels, in which the protagonists were all about kings and tyrants, young men bowing to their heads, and beautiful women throwing themselves into their arms.
But why do all the people I meet are human beings?
For example, Mrs. Rose.
According to Master Meng's understanding of the plot, Cai Xuefei should have said that Mr. Meng is a generous person and was kind to me when he donated money for charity. Why worry about such a trivial matter as money laundering? The price is whatever it is today.
Forget it, Cai Xuefei was born in a wealthy businessman's family, so her abacus was of course very accurate.
Besides, although she had protected the donation, Mrs. Qiangwei was not doing it for her, and during this trip to Shanghai, Cai Xuefei returned all the favors.
Although according to this price comparison, you will lose a lot, it is better than holding a huge amount of money and not being able to use it.
Cai Xuefei was not a black-hearted person and did not offer an even more outrageous price. After all, these yen were dirty money.
"It's whatever the madam says." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
"Well, you and your subordinates will stay with me for a few days first. It's too windy outside now, so don't leave. After two days, I will arrange for you to leave the concession. When you leave, I will write a check to you.
"
"Thank you, madam."
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of something: "Madam, this time we robbed more than 40,000 silver dollars from Zhengjin Bank, so we won't take it back this time. Madam, let's see if there is anything worth investing in."
"I originally thought you were going to treat it as the cost of your food, drink and accommodation at my place."
"Madam, if I say that, I won't treat you as a friend."
A hint of smile flashed from the corner of Mrs. Qiangwei's mouth: "Since Mr. Meng trusts me so much, I won't be polite. Leave forty thousand silver dollars here with me, and I will pay you dividends every quarter."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, just do it once a year."
Now that Meng Shaoyuan has money, he naturally becomes tougher in his speech.
Cai Xuefei picked up the coffee cup again: "Mr. Meng, I heard that you used the identity of Jun Matsudaira to sneak into Zhengjin Bank and talk about the Japanese economy in a clear and logical manner. Does Mr. Meng have in-depth research on this aspect?"
"A little bit."
"I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "In fact, Japan's economy can only be described in two words: deformed, seriously deformed. Starting from the Taisho period, Japan's military expenditure has exceeded 30% of the national budget. By the Showa period, the military expenditure ratio has been higher every year.
It’s been a year. This year it’s almost half..."
He has not yet said that next year, Japan's military expenditure ratio will reach an abnormal level of nearly 70%.
Cai Xuefei frowned when she heard this: "With military spending so out of control, wouldn't the people complain and cause instability in the country's order?"
"At this point, you have to admire the Japanese." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "In other words, they were brainwashed very thoroughly. Relying on several huge indemnities from our Qing Dynasty, Japan developed rapidly. One September 18th, Japan occupied
to the Northeast and successfully avoided economic collapse.
But even so, the lives of ordinary people in Japan have long been extremely difficult, but they can endure it. No matter what bizarre decisions the government makes, they will unconditionally support it. In their view, you don’t have to eat, but you can go hungry.
A few meals, but the military cannot but develop. Because they have an enemy that must be defeated, China!"
"You mean there will definitely be a war between China and Japan?" Cai Xuefei was a little surprised.
Meng Shaoyuan was afraid of answering this question in the past, but now, he already knows how to respond:
"Otherwise, where did Japan spend its military expenditures? Who is the greatest threat to them around them? Starting from the Japanese monkey... ah, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, China has always been the object of their conquest.
"
Cai Xuefei held the coffee cup in her hand and remained motionless.
This man is very interesting and mysterious.
