Daniel's usefulness was vividly demonstrated.

I passed the Japanese interrogation very easily.

We will encounter Japanese warships again, but there is nothing to worry about.

The flag of the British Empire can still be used sometimes.

Although on the waters of China, normal navigation depends on the protection of the British, which seems a bit sad.

But living is better than anything else.

The Cambria Breaker was sailing at full speed.

The sooner you leave here, the safer it will be.

Meng Shaoyuan stood on the deck and lit a cigarette.

"You will pay me more money, Meng." Daniel stood beside him: "You need me more and more."

"Yes, I am really helpless." Meng Shaoyuan did not deny this at all: "Your British identity makes you very useful. But I am really not willing to do it."

"There is no other way. The war forces you to do this." Daniel shrugged: "I don't deny that I am a greedy person. Normally, I don't have the opportunity to make so much money, but the Japanese created this opportunity for me.

.And you, you are a very smart person, but no matter how smart you are, you still look so insignificant in the face of war.

But do you know what is lucky? Fortunately, although I am greedy, I am fully equipped with professionalism. I don’t care whether the Chinese are just or the Japanese are just. I only think that money is

The most just. You pay and I do the work. The more dangerous the thing, the more I like it."

"Daniel, I have to ask you something." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "If one day, the Japanese pay a sum of money, remember, it is a large amount of money, and ask you to betray me, what will you do?

Hey, I want to hear the truth."

"I will categorically refuse." Daniel said without hesitation: "I am not saying these words in front of you, but I am saying them sincerely. You are not my family, and I don't have such deep feelings for you.

, the relationship between you and me is more like partners, yes, we opened a company together.

You see, what is a partner? We have to work together to run this company well. If another company comes to poach people and I quit, what I am actually betraying is my own interests. Yes, if the Japanese want to deal with you, they will

Give me a large amount of money, but that is only a short-term benefit, and cooperation with you is a long-term benefit, and there will always be a steady stream of rewards."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know whether to be bitter or laugh.

Daniel didn't look like he was joking at all: "Do you think I'm telling lies? No, the war is not good for China now, so your value is higher."

"Why do you say that?" Meng Shaoyuan was curious.

Daniel thought for a moment: "For example, if you are worth one hundred thousand dollars now, as the Japanese gain the upper hand on the battlefield, they will not value you so much, because you alone cannot

If you change the situation of the war, then during this period, your worth will not be one hundred thousand dollars, but eighty thousand, maybe even lower. If I betray you, I can get eighty thousand or a little more, but it will definitely not exceed one hundred thousand dollars.

.

But what about the relationship between you and me? That's more than that. Just because the Chinese army is now at a disadvantage on the battlefield, you need my help, a lot of help, and you will continue to seek my help with things.

Maybe you can only pay me ten thousand dollars at a time, but in the long run, the return I get from you will be far more than one hundred thousand dollars. Sir, I must remind you that this is a very simple sum.

Account."

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he was finally convinced.

There are not many people who can make money based on their own abilities and have such vision, so you really have to convince them.

Daniel's explanation was not over yet: "So, when will your worth exceed one hundred thousand dollars? For example, if you change the trend of a certain battle with your own strength, and after the Japanese know about it, you

The value of your head will rise rapidly, and the Japanese will pay a very high price to buy your head."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Then when that time comes, will you betray me?"

"Still not, and my reasons are very good." Daniel said with a smile: "Because by that time, you will need me more, and I can make more money from you. For example, the Japanese find me

, I am willing to pay two hundred thousand dollars to buy your head, and I can sell you this important information at a higher price and provide you with protection."

"You are so fucking shameless." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "But I fucking like you. Really. You see, you are better off not hiding your shamelessness at all, than those guys who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but secretly steal men and prostitute women.

"

It is more refreshing to do business with such people, and the relationship between them is nothing more than one word:

money!

Everything can be solved with money. Throw away all the red tape, agree on a price quickly, and then give the money to do the work.

Save worry.

Daniel should not only be used, but must be reused in the future.

The siren sounded, and it was time for dinner.

"Come on, Daniel, go see what the meal I spent five thousand dollars looks like."

The British take money and act more seriously.

Although it is not an exquisite dish, it can make people feel full.

There is bread, milk, and even after-dinner fruit.

Now they are on the run, not going to a big hotel to enjoy themselves.

"Sir Meng."

The cargo hold was full of people, and everyone was silently eating the food distributed.

The smell is not very good, but it is bearable.

Living is better than anything else.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan come in, Zeng Jianping, the president of the Nanjing Chamber of Commerce, came up with a few people: "Thank you so much, thank you so much for taking us out of Nanjing."

"The danger has not been eliminated yet." Meng Shaoyuan did not feel relaxed: "Just now, we encountered the Japanese boarding the ship for inspection. So you must stay here. Once we pass the waters controlled by the Japanese, I will arrange for you

Take turns going to the deck to bask in the sun."

"Okay, okay." Zeng Jianping agreed repeatedly: "Sir Meng, we have a small request."

"Please tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you within my ability."

Zeng Jianping looked a little embarrassed, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "There are so many people. I know you have tried your best to arrange it and ensure that we eat and drink. However, we are not particularly used to eating this."

Although he spoke hesitantly, he could still understand that he was not eating well.

Your grandma's, it's good if you have a stutter. Why are you thinking about food and housing before you are out of danger?

Zeng Jianping was worried about causing dissatisfaction with the other party, so he hurriedly explained: "Not everyone is like this, there are only a few of us, do you think you can help us improve the food?"

Meng Shaoyuan cursed a few times in his heart, "You have to leave Nanjing. Why don't you stay in Nanjing and give it a try? You will be willing to eat bark and grass roots for you then."

OK, since you have made such a request, then don’t blame your Meng Shaoyuan for having a dark heart.

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "On the ship, there is a captain's meal, but you also know that the amount is limited."

"I understand, I understand." Zeng Jianping said hurriedly: "We are willing to add additional money. In extraordinary times and we are on a ship, there is no harm in adding more."

It’s good to have money. Then there’s no need to be polite to you.

Meng Shaoyuan thought about it in his mind: "Look, if we ensure that there is meat, a meal per person will cost ten dollars no matter what."

"Okay!" Zeng Jianping agreed without thinking: "There are twelve of us in total and we want to add extra meals. This time we came out and brought some US dollars with us, and we settled all in cash."

Is my price too low? Maybe they can agree to it for twenty or thirty dollars?

Forget it, flies are also meat. There are many places to make money for them along the way. Meng Shaoyuan was not polite to them: "You can just make do with this meal. I will let the captain arrange it for dinner."

"Thank you very much."

Thank you sister.

Meng Shaoyuan muttered and came to the captain's restaurant.

"Hey Meng, I'm just waiting for you. You can eat now."

Captain Schiller greeted warmly.

The meal was steak, and special knives and forks were provided.

Just like Daniel, Meng Shaoyuan is now the God of Wealth in Captain Schiller's eyes.

"Sir, your napkin."

A timid voice sounded.

The girl who was begged by her parents to be sent on board.

Her name is Su Yao, she is sixteen years old, and her parents are both teachers.

As soon as they got on the ship, Su Yao knew that Meng Shaoyuan was her benefactor, so she took the initiative to take care of Meng Shaoyuan.

Not to mention, everything was done in a orderly manner, and Meng Shao didn't have to worry about it at all.

"Daniel, please pass me the pepper," Captain Schiller said.

Su Yao immediately picked up the pepper and put it in front of Captain Schiller.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "Do you know English?"

"Sir, I have learned it." Su Yao replied carefully: "My father knows English and he taught it to me."

"Oh, your father is an English teacher?"

"No, my father once worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an English translator."

"That's great. Why did you stop doing translation and become a teacher?"

Su Yao hesitated for a moment: "My father often said that doing diplomacy in China is very difficult. He often had to look at the faces of foreigners to do things, which was frustrating, so he simply quit his job as a translator."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slowly: "Just say these things in front of me, but never mention them in front of outsiders. People with ulterior motives will make a fuss about China's diplomatic troubles."

"Sir, I understand. I was wrong. I will never dare to do this again."

"Don't call me sir anymore, just call me Meng Shaoyuan."
