"Zhang Er, this is a top-secret document. I don't want you to read it. After all, you know the rules!"
Lao Wang glanced at No. 1, and the expression on his face became much more serious.
"Old Wang, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously!"
Number 1 just smiled and took note of Lao Wang's warning.
"By the way, this is another piece of information. When you go back in the afternoon, be sure to keep it carefully and hand it to the young master as soon as you return to Shanghai. We sacrificed several comrades before we overheard a few whispers. We
Already tried my best!”
Once he heard that several comrades had been sacrificed, No. 1's expression became much more serious. Obviously, although he had just heard it, this was also information that the brothers had sacrificed their lives for.
"Do you want to apply for a subsidy from the young master?"
"No, we have already taken care of it for the young master. In the past few years, we have also made a lot of money, which is enough for us to help arrange the funeral arrangements for several brothers and the quarrels with their families."
"That's good, Master, I will convey it to you as soon as possible!"
No. 1 did not stay long, but took over a few buttons that Lao Wang handed over, but these buttons were obviously larger than the other buttons.
"Take off your suit, and I'll put these buttons on it. Remember, only button number one is the most important information."
"good!"
No. 1 didn't waste much time and took off his clothes directly, then put them on the table. Then he saw Lao Wang pick up the tools and start to remove the buttons on the suit.
And he quickly replaced everything on it. It seemed that he didn't even know that there was some important information in this button.
After about ten minutes, No. 1 left Lao Wang holding a document bag, and Lao Wang was doing business as usual.
…
In a villa in Hong Kong, Mr. Chen was sitting on his throne, and behind him stood his son and several principals.
"Everyone, I invite you to come here today just to discuss with you. A major general stationmaster in Shanghai has been doing business with us, but this time he has encountered certain problems and wants us to help him, mainly in terms of funds.
Let’s discuss it and see if we can give it a helping hand?”
Mr. Chen looked at the people below and then spoke slowly.
"Mr. Chen, the head of the Shanghai Station of the Central Unification Committee is still asking for funds from us. Do you really think that our funds are blown by strong winds? He is alone, and we have been assisting the Chongqing government. What qualifications does he have to ask for funds?"
We reach out to ask for help, and this precedent cannot be set, otherwise we will not know how many people will ask us for help in the future, will we give it or not?"
"Yes, he is not qualified to ask for financial assistance from us. You don't know what kind of people Zhongtong is, the kind that suck blood but don't spit out bones. There are several good people in Zhongtong and a few who are truly anti-Japanese.
Man, hum!"
"I don't agree. There is no need to discuss this matter."
"Yes, there is really no need to discuss it, so you should stop worrying about this little thing. This matter must not set such a precedent, otherwise we will all be annoyed to death in the future."
"Mr. Chen, you should just kick him out. Talking to people like this is a waste of our time. Is it easy for us to make some money? He wants it, and so do you. Our family is not rich in the first place.
, He has already donated so much to the government, and he still comes to ask for it personally. How shameful is he?"
Mr. Chen glanced at the people below, nodded slightly, and tapped the table a few times.
Soon, the conference room became quiet, and at the same time, attention was focused on Mr. Chen.
"Since everyone doesn't agree, let this be the decision!"
Mr. Chen did not discuss this aspect further, but spoke slowly.
"He has always been buying goods from us, and he is buying goods at low prices. He is very grateful to us, and he has also returned this favor to us. That is, he said that the Japanese are ready to enter Southeast Asia, and at the latest
It won’t be past the end of the year, and I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I’m going to discuss it with everyone and see how this matter should be handled?”
Mr. Chen's sharp eyes swept over everyone below and said with a serious face.
"Although I don't know if this is true, we all have to be careful. After all, it is related to the fate of all our families, so I have to treat it with caution!"
Just when Chen Lao finished speaking, he heard several silly laughs coming from the conference room.
"Hahaha!"
"hehe!"
"Do you really think he is a god? This is the territory of the Americans and British. Do they dare to do this even if they have the guts to repay this favor with such nonsense?"
"Yes, it seems that this guy has serious problems with his character. Mr. Chen, we should not help him or do business with him in the first place. We have not made any money all this time. On the contrary, we have been doing business with him every time."
Losing part of it this time is enough to give him face."
"Yes, who would believe such nonsense? It seems that we no longer need to do business in this area. Who can return our favor like this? Is our favor so cheap?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, don't do this business anymore. You are already giving him money, and you are not satisfied!"
Mr. Chen sat there with an indifferent expression on his face, but there was a bit more worry in his eyes.
No matter what, they have to take precautions in advance. If it is true, it will be a disaster. Even though they live in Southeast Asia now, once the war breaks out, the consequences will be much more serious than they imagined.
Already.
"Okay, everyone, please stop arguing. As for the business, the other party also said that the business will stop in two or three months. It's not that they don't want to do it, but the opportunity has passed!"
"It will take another two or three months, then we will be losing money all the time. This person..."
Mr. Chen also waved his hand, glanced at the people below, and said seriously: "Anyway, it's not more than two or three months, so let's set two months, and our lunch will support the Anti-Japanese War. After two months,
, all business is cut off from him, what do you think?"
"Okay, but we need to reduce shipments. After all, the more goods we ship, the more we will lose!"
"Yes, that's the truth. We have reduced shipments to only half of the original volume. Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
"All right!"
Mr. Chen looked at the people below and said this. He didn't feel like saying anything more, but nodded in agreement.
As several discussions ended, the meeting quickly dispersed, but Mr. Chen did not stand up, but just sat on the main seat in the center, looking at the empty conference room.
"Second brother, what do you think of this matter?"
"Father, I feel that he is lying. Do the Japanese dare to mess with these two countries? Is he talking nonsense? Such people are really not worthy of our friendship!"
Mr. Chen turned around and glanced at his second son, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes.
At all times, you must consider defeat before victory. This is the reason why their family can survive to this day.
"Second brother, you, you, you have read Zhang Tianhao's information, what do you think?"
"He is just a leader, a webmaster, and the credit is naturally prepared for him by his subordinates. I don't think there is any need to say more about his personal abilities. Although he has certain abilities, he is not worthy of our attention.
.”
"If it's business, giving him some supplies is considered as supporting the war of resistance. At most, we will suffer a small loss. If it goes too far, we will think too highly of him."
Lao Chen didn't say much, but listened to what the second brother said.
"Okay, second brother, let's go back. We have been in Hong Kong for a while and it's time to go back. It just so happens that this time the family's merchant ship is in Hong Kong!"
"OK!"
Mr. Chen didn't say any more, nor did he comment on the second child, but he had a certain idea in his heart. He had his own purpose when he took care of the boss last time and this time he took care of the second child. ()
