"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. What's more, he was not unpunished. He lost his property inheritance rights. Although it was only 5%, he would not be able to earn it even if he worked hard in Japan for eight lifetimes. The Japanese are not generous masters. The Japanese
Once he is no longer needed, he will not have good results." There is Taoism in Sheng Youde's concept of letting everything take its course.
Hearing what Sheng Youde said, Lu Ming felt better.
In fact, he didn't know how much wealth Sheng Youde owned, but since he was known as the richest man in Shanghai and was a business partner with Rothschild, he should be a rich man of this level.
In this economic crisis, Sheng Youde's net worth has increased a hundred times. It is hard to imagine how much wealth he has. Five percent of this wealth is equivalent to the previous five Sheng's properties.
Lu Ming even wanted to tell Sheng Di about the changes that had occurred in Sheng's industry, and to calculate with him how much he had lost, he would probably be angry to death.
"Old man, when will I hand over Sheng Di to them?" Lu Ming asked.
"It's not urgent. You can't be anxious. If you are anxious, you will be passive. Let the Japanese be anxious and ask them to take the initiative to propose a time and place for the hostage exchange." Sheng Youde said.
"What I said makes sense. The matter has come to this. There is no point in hurrying. Compare your psychological quality with them. Leave the hostage exchange to me, and I will hand over Sheng Di to them." Lu Ming said.
"You don't want to..." Sheng Youde was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything random. After all, this matter is related to Ziyuan's safety. I won't be hot-headed." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Well, everything has its priorities. Just know the priorities." Sheng Youde said with a smile.
Lu Ming went back depressed. He wanted to drink but didn't want to drink alone, so he dragged Huang Yanning to drink with him.
Huang Yanning didn't refuse. He just checked the posts every day to ensure that the soldiers changed posts on time and patrolled normally.
"I said, Master Lu, what's wrong with you? Things are going perfectly, why are you still looking sad?" Huang Yanning asked, looking at Lu Ming who looked depressed.
"Alas, we just said that God was unfair two days ago, and now it's revealed. It's really unfair." Lu Ming struck with both palms.
Huang Yanning heard something in his words and knew that he was depressed, so he motioned for him to continue.
Lu Ming didn't say anything about Sheng Di and exchanged Ziyuan with the Japanese mainly because of the secret plan, not just a hostage exchange.
This 520 plan cannot be told to the outside world, even to Huang Yanning. This is Sheng Youde's commitment to Japan.
"By the way, your family is not poor, right?" Lu Ming asked.
"Of course not, why do you ask this?" Huang Yanning asked strangely.
"It's nothing. I just thought, can children from poor families go to Whampoa Military Academy? Yours is known as China's West Point Military Academy." Lu Ming asked.
He just felt depressed and wanted to talk and drink with someone, but since he had nothing to say, he started talking about irrelevant things.
"There are no requirements for family background to apply for Huangpu, but the requirements for education are very high. Children from poor families can only go to private school for one or two years at most and know hundreds of Chinese characters. That is absolutely not enough." Huang Yanning answered seriously.
"So Huangpu can be considered a school for aristocrats?" Lu Ming asked.
"We can't talk about aristocratic schools. Who's the child of a rich and noble family going to a military school? They won't have to endure that hardship. My hometown is from Guangyuan, Sichuan, and it's considered a wealthy family locally. Of course, compared with a wealthy businessman's family like Mr. Lu.
A little witch can see a big witch, there is no comparison." Huang Yanning answered while wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Ming Gourd.
"Do the officers from Huangpu have the pride of being the pillars of the country? Who else would be better than me? Haha." Lu Ming also knew that the country was on the verge of war, and the Huangpu system would have no limit in the future.
"I didn't think much about it before going to school, but the ideological education in Huangpu is still very strict. I went to a private school when I was a child, and then went to a modern school for a few years. After hearing about Huangpu's enrollment, I went there by car with a few local friends.
I went to Guangzhou, and there were five of us who went together, but only one of me passed the exam, and the other four friends had to stay in Guangzhou to do business." Huang Yanning's answer was very strict.
Lu Ming laughed and said: "No wonder the Communists say that your Kuomintang represents the interests of the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie. It turns out that most of your military trainees in Huangpu are from the property class." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Ming laughed.
Huang Yanning's expression changed and he quickly stopped him: "Master Lu, try to say this as little as possible at home, and don't say a word outside, otherwise you will be labeled as a red element."
Lu Ming drank a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the hat of a red element is too small to fit on my head. Who would believe that I am a red element? How could the Communists want me to do this?
Playboys, all they want are workers and peasants."
Huang Yanning also smiled. In his opinion, this was indeed the case. With Lu Ming's identity and actions, the Communist Party would not take a fancy to him. It would be good if he took it easy and didn't become the enemy.
However, Huang Yanning was obviously misled by the Kuomintang's policy of suppressing the Communist Party. When measuring the Communist Party based on the Kuomintang's operating mechanism, the fundamental problem was that he could not see China's future clearly.
The Communist Party's employment policy is flexible and extensive. They unite all forces that can be united with a broad mind, and they can still work for the party even if they are not within the party.
No matter what your background is, as long as you demand progress in your thinking, obey the party's command in action, and are willing to contribute your life to national liberation and national prosperity, you will be their development target.
Huang Yanning would not have thought that people like Lu Ming had already met the requirements of the Communist Party to a certain extent and were people who could be united. Of course, they were still far away from joining the organization.
"Master Lu, having said that, it's better to say less of this kind of thing. I even think it's best not to mention things about the Communist Party. The less the better. Why do you want to cause this trouble?" Huang Yanning
He persuaded with a smile.
"Well, I will pay attention to it, that is, I will tell you that all I talk about outside is romance." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Huang Yanning also laughed. Lu Ming's "passing among thousands of flowers without leaving a single leaf on his body" is famous in Shanghai. To be honest, this is not a good reputation. If used to measure politicians, this is probably a flaw.
.
"Adjutant Huang, when you went to Huangpu Army Military Academy from Sichuan, was it to become an official and make a fortune or for something else?" Lu Ming continued to ask.
"Of course it was for personal future in the beginning. Being an official and making a fortune is not a bad thing, right?" Huang Yanning said calmly.
"Then what happened later, did your thoughts change?" Lu Ming was curious about the differences between the talents cultivated by military schools and ordinary schools.
"Later, as people grew up, their thoughts gradually matured. Do you believe me if I say it was for the ideals of the Three People's Principles?" Huang Yanning asked with a smile.
"I believe it, I really believe it." Lu Ming smiled.
"Why do you believe me?" Huang Yanning felt that Lu Ming was naive sometimes.
"I don't believe you, but I believe in common sense. Generally speaking, young people between the ages of 18, 19 and 30 are people with ideals, ambitions and beliefs. However, they can't help themselves, and their ideals are shattered little by little, and their ambitions cannot be fulfilled. If it is realized, faith will turn to the pursuit of wealth, power and fame. This is my understanding of human nature." Lu Ming said seriously.
"Master Lu not only studies human nature, but also formulates a set of Lu's theories, which can be written in a book." Huang Yanning gave a thumbs up and praised.
"What am I studying? I just read some idle books, encountered some people and things, and slowly realized something, which may not be correct. Having said that, do you think the Three People's Principles can save China? ?" Lu Ming asked.
"Of course, if the Three People's Principles cannot save China, can China be saved? I firmly believe in the Prime Minister's teachings, and that hasn't changed since I graduated from Huangpu School." Huang Yanning said with a stern face.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. He knew that the Three Principles of the People were born out of Lincoln's thoughts, but did this thought conform to China's reality?
This is also a question that Lu Ming has been thinking about recently. If a country wants to progress and develop, it must choose a path that suits its national conditions.
If you choose the right path, you won't have to worry about Japan's plot. If you choose the wrong path, it will bring even greater disasters.
