"Sir Meng."

"Sir Meng."

All the businessmen stood up one after another.

As the president of the Nanjing Federation of Industry and Commerce, Zeng Jianping was a little surprised. Why did Chief Meng have some blood stains on his face?

It looks like he was caught by a woman?

Which woman is so bold as to dare to attack a big spy?

Then there is still good fruit to eat?

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but touch the blood stains on his face. Zhu Yanni, this little girl is really crazy. When she woke up early in the morning and found herself sleeping next to her, it was so cruel to do anything.

But in the end, wasn’t he conquered by himself?

It's over, it's over. According to the family law of the military, any relationship between male agents and female agents is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, the most powerful thing is to be shot directly.

It was a great time at that time.

I don't know if Dai Li would spare him if this matter was exposed.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

Meng Shaoyuan composed himself: "Everyone, I was entrusted by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry to take the risk of returning to Nanjing in order to rescue all of you and your family members."

"Sir Meng, thank you very much, thank you very much." Zeng Jianping said gratefully: "Nanjing is now heavily blockaded, and only people are allowed in and out. I regret that I refused to listen to the advice and left Nanjing earlier. I originally thought that the Japanese had occupied Shanghai.

, and will not further seek Nanjing. I never thought that it is too late to regret now."

"Nanjing is hard to get out of." Meng Shaoyuan asked, "How many of you are there in total?"

"Together with family members, there are three hundred and sixteen people, big and small."

Good guys, there are so many.

Meng Shaoyuan let out a long sigh: "Originally, Shanghai gave me 300,000 US dollars. I know it was jointly funded by businessmen from Shanghai and Ningbo. Originally, where did you want to go with this money? But now is an extraordinary period. Next

Not to mention, this time I mobilized a British cargo ship, the 'Cambria Breaker', which is the fastest ship in the world.

Captain Schiller sent the goods from London to Shanghai and was about to return home. I begged him to come with me to Nanjing to rescue people, but he refused, saying that this was a matter between China and Japan, and the British

It is inconvenient to participate. Otherwise, it will lead to conflicts between Britain and Japan, but I will show the importance of national justice and state the importance of world anti-Japanese..."

All the businessmen looked at each other in shock.

I understand the interests of the country, but what does "anti-***" mean?

After all, Zeng Jianping is the president of the president. He is well-informed and quick-thinking: "That *** must be a very vicious person, or a common enemy of China and Britain. Chief Meng must be able to persuade Mr. Schiller."

It took a lot of thought and money.”

"Money, you can't take it with you in life or death." Meng Shaoyuan said with dignity: "In order to rescue you all, what's the harm in me throwing my life and blood? Although Schiller asked for 150,000 US dollars when he opened his mouth, I heard that he would drive all the way to

Chengdu added another $50,000 to the price, but I agreed without hesitation..."

Fortunately, only $200,000 was spent.

"I have always regarded money as dirt, and have always been indifferent to fame and fortune." Meng Shaoyuan acted like an outsider: "What is really hateful is the British. When they knew that two to three hundred people were going to board the ship, they actually added more

They paid me US$50,000 for food and accommodation... Also, they said that if they met the Japanese, they would have to take great risks, and they extorted US$50,000 from me..."

At this point, three hundred thousand US dollars has been clearly arranged by him, and not a penny is left.

Zeng Jianping was about to express his gratitude, but he never expected that Meng Shaoyuan continued: "If that's all, that's all. I think, I must ensure your personal safety, what should I do? So I asked a British friend of mine to help me a lot.

This person is also very famous, Daniel, the former police chief of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce, have you ever heard of him?"

"I know, I know." Zeng Jianping said hurriedly: "I went to Shanghai the year before last, and I had a meal with Mr. Daniel. This guy, if nothing else, just likes money and is very greedy."

Hey, you know?

That would be easy to handle.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "Yes, Daniel agreed to help me, but do you know how much it will cost? Two hundred thousand dollars!"

Zeng Jianping had no suspicion of fraud.

He recognized Daniel and had dealings with him. When a batch of his goods was detained in Shanghai, he asked someone to find Daniel for help. Daniel opened his mouth and demanded a large sum of money.

Sending people out of Nanjing was such an important matter. How could Daniel not kill him with a knife? But if he really sent these 316 people out, the US$200,000 would be well spent!

"Although I am a government official, our military commander is not a fat and watery unit, and I am upright and clean. Where can I find money?" Meng Shaoyuan said with emotion: "But I thought, if I can rescue you, even if I, Meng

What does it matter if someone goes bankrupt? So I sold my house in Shanghai and took out a large loan shark..."

"Mr. Meng must not do it." Zeng Jianping said hurriedly: "Mr. Meng has worked hard for us. Is there any reason to let Chief Meng sell his house and be burdened with debt? Although the two hundred thousand US dollars is a huge amount of money, but I

I have been doing business for a long time and have some family property, so I can still scrape together this little money to give to Chief Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan's intention in talking nonsense to them was really not to get another sum of money. He wanted these businessmen to know how difficult it was to evacuate them from Nanjing, so that they would appreciate his kindness and be able to use it for themselves in the future.

But he also didn’t want to think about it. He had already said so, could these businessmen let him pay for it himself?

By the time Meng Shaoyuan figured it out, it was already too late.

One kept asking for it, and the other kept asking for it, which made him blush and become thick-necked. I don’t know, but I thought the two of them were going to fight.

In the end, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't resist Zeng Jianping and agreed to the money he "advanced" to his subordinates.

Zeng Jianping asked a group of businessmen about their intentions. They all just wanted to leave Nanjing as soon as possible, and money was secondary. Therefore, the money was shared equally according to the number of people in each family's family.

During the Republic of China, it was true that Greater Shanghai was the financial center of the country, but Nanjing was the capital, connected to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui. Business was prosperous, and it had just experienced a golden age. Everyone was wealthy, and there were even many extremely rich people.

Although hundreds of thousands of dollars is a huge amount of money, if it is divided equally among the businessmen, everyone can afford it. Some people even began to think that in this case, it is better to bring their own ladies and servants with them. After all,

I have been around for a long time, and I have become accustomed to using it. When I go to Sichuan, I may not be able to find such a satisfactory one.

When divided up, this money is really not much.

But this has a completely different meaning to Meng Shaoyuan.

This is like the country's 400 million compatriots. If each person gives one yuan, everyone can afford it. But if you give 40 million yuan to one person, that person will become prosperous in an instant.

Meng Shaoyuan is this person.

Ashamed, ashamed.

From Lixingshe to Juntong, it is really rare that the thickest-skinned person in the Chinese spy organization can feel ashamed.

When collecting people's money and dealing with people's misfortunes, you must talk about professional ethics.

Meng Shaoyuan made an appointment with everyone on the evacuation time, told everyone about the meeting place, and repeatedly told them to keep it secret. They must not cause trouble and stir up trouble. It would be bad if it caused trouble again.

Zeng Jianping checked the time and asked everyone to go back and prepare quickly.

He left Meng Shaoyuan alone, asked someone to change the tea, and chatted there for a while: "Mr. Meng has worked so hard on our affairs, and I don't know how to repay him in the future. But I still have something to ask for."

"President Zeng, please speak."

Zeng Jianping hesitated for a moment: "As for me, besides doing business, I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to collect some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. I have collected a lot of rare and orphan items over the years. A few days ago, I was busy evacuating the factory machinery.

I couldn't take care of my family anymore. By the time I wanted to evacuate, it was too late.

I still have to thank Chief Meng for his great kindness, which allowed us to escape from danger. But I would like to ask Chief Meng, if I pack all these antique calligraphy and paintings and bring them on board, is it feasible? To be honest, if I stay here

If Nanjing is destroyed and falls into the hands of the Japanese, all the good things will be ruined, and I really can’t bear to part with it.”

You have to run away for your life, why are you still thinking about antique calligraphy and painting?

Meng Shaoyuan asked: "How many are there?"

"They have all been packed carefully." Zeng Jianping cheered up: "There are twenty-eight boxes in total."

Oh my God, so many?

How many good things has Zeng Jianping collected over the years?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's too much, I'm afraid it won't work. More than three hundred people are beyond my imagination. The ship is so big, and one more box will take up more space. President Zeng, I am going to Chongqing.

It's a long way to get to Chengdu first. Even if the captain takes care of us, it will be very difficult to sail all the way.

I think you also understand the significance of having an extra space. Also, water transport is not as susceptible to moisture as air transport. What if President Zeng’s treasure is damaged? Furthermore, I said it’s just in case.

Ah, if we are intercepted by the Japanese, the gains will outweigh the losses. In my opinion, it’s better to find a place to hide these things.”

Zeng Jianping was a little disappointed.

But this was also expected, he was just trying his luck with some hope.

"Sir Meng, I can only leave these treasures to you."

"Ah? Please?"

"Yes, please give it to you."

Zeng Jianping said what he was thinking: "Chief Meng is a heroic and courageous person, and his character is absolutely trustworthy. Moreover, Chief Meng holds an important position, so there is absolutely no problem in hiding a few boxes if he wants to. These twenty-eight boxes, if we wait until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, we will

If I can still return to Nanjing alive, all Chief Meng has to do is pay back twenty of my mouths, and the remaining eight will be used as reward. If I don't survive that day, all these treasures will belong to Chief Meng!"

I'm speechless, only God knows.
