"Shao Yuan, I knew I wouldn't misjudge you."

In a restaurant owned by a Frenchman, Cai Xuefei looked at Meng Shaoyuan in front of her with a smile: "It's especially smart that you didn't attend Du Yuesheng's banquet."

"My head hurts." Meng Shaoyuan actually smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I really shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, but what can I do? I just don't want to take care of it, and there are people who want me to take control of it."

The less we do about this in the future, the better.

The first is that he is too pushy. It is unprecedented for a spy to be so high-profile.

The second point is the most fatal. When I came to this era, I had already accepted my fate. I just wanted to be a spy with peace of mind. But who would have thought that I would be involved in high-level affairs.

This is not good, really not good.

But what can be done?

There are many things that no matter how smart Meng Shaoyuan is, there is no way to solve them.

"Hey, Joey."

Seeing a foreigner come in, Cai Xuefei smiled on her face.

"Madam, I've been waiting for a long time. Something happened at the foreign bank. I was trying to figure out how to deal with it, so I was late." The man who called Joey sat down and ordered a cup of coffee.

"This is Joey Freemont, an American." Cai Xuefei introduced: "Chairman and general manager of Angus International Co., Ltd."

Is this the general manager of Angus Matheson?

That time when I went to Northeast China, I played his cards right. It was a Xibei product meeting a genuine product.

"Joy, this is the Meng Shaoyuan. Charles Meng I often tell you about."

"Hello." Joey said in blunt Chinese.

"Hello." Meng Shaoyuan immediately replied in English.

Charles Meng?

The name I made up casually at first suddenly became serious?

"Mr. Fremont, thank you very much for allowing me to use your bank's name that time." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "Since I can see you in person today, I can thank you in person."

"I will definitely do my best for Mrs. Qiangwei's request." Joey didn't seem particularly concerned.

Cai Xuefei said: "Shaoyuan, Joey has encountered some troubles these days. Maybe you can help. Joey, please talk to Charles."

"Charles, it's like this." Joey was not polite and said straightforwardly: "You probably also know that some of the business we do is relatively private. Some time ago, one of our ships, the 'Bosmian Princess'

, I encountered a little trouble when passing through Wuhan.

I admit that because some of our crew members were not calm and had conflicts with the Lixingshe inspectors, the Bosmian Princess was detained. Their leading officials insisted that the matter be resolved before they could be released. But when we

When they wanted to resolve it, they kept making excuses not to negotiate with us..."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

When it comes to being an official, of course the officials from the great empires have the most experience.

Of course they knew that the "Princess of Bosmia" was carrying contraband, but they did not have the guts to seize it because it was a foreigner's ship. Once seized, it might cause a big disturbance.

But what should I do if I suffer a loss?

One word:

drag!

Those officials know all too well that the most important thing for smuggled goods is time.

Once the delay is too long, you cannot afford the loss.

So they just avoid seeing you.

Don't talk, don't see, don't tell.

In the end, you are the one who is anxious.

"Shao Yuan." Cai Xuefei said at this time: "You are also a member of Lixingshe. Let's see if you can think of a way?"

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment: "What's the name of the official who led the team?"

"He Guangtao."

who?

He Guangtao?

Meng Shaoyuan almost laughed out loud.

Isn't that my classmate?

This guy's development was pretty smooth. After graduating from the crash course, he quickly reached the position of official officer and leader of the action team at the Hankou Station of the Lixing Society.

In the "Shuanglou Club", besides Meng Shaoyuan, he is the only one who can be counted.

In order to get He Guangtao to release the ship, the matter of Meng Shaoyuan's telegram cannot be made too easy for the other party, and he, Meng Shaoyuan, also wants to gain a fortune from it.

He pretended to frown and thought for a long time:

"Mr. Fremont, this matter is very difficult to handle. Yes, we are all members of Lixingshe, and I am still from the headquarters, but I can't blatantly interfere with other people's work, otherwise I will be scolded by my immediate superior..."

Joey was disappointed.

But at this moment, Meng Shaoyuan gritted his teeth again: "However, since I am a friend of Mrs. Qiangwei, and you have helped me before, Mr. Freemont, even if I am not in charge of this job, I will still help you."

Very busy."

Joey was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you, Charles, ah, just call me Joey. If you have helped us such a big favor, we will definitely express our gratitude."

What Meng Shaoyuan cares about is not your money: "Joy, I don't need your thank you fee. Friends should always help each other. However, I am very interested in Angus Matheson and I want to invest in it."

Hmm? Invest in shares?

Joey suddenly became embarrassed.

He has been in Shanghai for several years and knows that some Chinese officials always like to buy shares in some well-doing companies without paying a penny and enjoy the benefits every year.

Now, this young official actually made such a request?

"Hey, Joey, I know what you are thinking." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "My investment will bring you great benefits. I can guarantee that from now on, whether your ships are in Shanghai or Nanjing,

Still in Wuhan, the journey is smooth, and I can even issue you a special pass.

Joey, this kind of treatment is not available in any of the major foreign banks in Shanghai. Just think about it, how much trouble you will be saved? How much more business can you do in a year? Have you calculated this account? "

Something bright flashed in Joey's eyes.

"Also, I'm not buying shares." Meng Shaoyuan struck while the iron was hot: "I'll invest another $50,000 in capital to buy shares in Angus."

"Fifty thousand dollars?"

Joey was startled for a moment.

This is not a small number.

"Fifty thousand, US dollars." Meng Shaoyuan answered resolutely: "My requirement is to have a seat on the board of directors, with voting and veto rights, and after notifying the board of directors and getting approval, I can use the company's ships to seek benefits for the company."

If he still didn't agree to such a favorable condition, Joey swore he must have water in his head.

"Dear Charles, I will convene the board of directors immediately to discuss your proposal, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer. However, the 'Bosmian Princess'..."

"Tomorrow, your ship can leave Wuhan." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "This can also prove my strength and my sincerity in cooperating with you."
