Chapter 656 Mao Qiwu's Meeting
Feng Nairong's group paid very quickly, and they held another board meeting that afternoon. This time, Wang Yan attended, and several accountants and bank executives attended, and the shares were recalculated on the spot.
As the chairman, Wang Yan personally witnessed the capital increase this time. Apart from that, he did not do anything else or say anything else. Because it was unnecessary at this time. When the cold pistol was pointed at Du Yong's head, this undefeated struggle had already achieved a staged victory. The winner pretended to be a loser, which was not in line with his identity, and of course it was not in line with his code of conduct.
He was waiting, waiting for Du Yong and Feng Nairong's group to have any back-up plan, but unfortunately, Feng Nairong and others did not make trouble at the board meeting. Everyone harmoniously determined the further development route and agreed to maintain the current situation, unite as one, and face the outside world in unison, not giving those Qing Gang branches who defected to the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of it, and make a fortune together happily and safely.
After this meeting, Wang Yan did not wait for their back-up plan, which showed that this plan was big enough. But he did not care. As the saying goes, no one wanted to kill him, and no one wanted to force him to surrender to the Japanese. As long as these two points were guaranteed, it didn't matter.
He had expressed his anger to Wang Manchun before, and it was probably passed on to Minami Yoko. When Minami Yoko knew about it, other people in the consulate and the military also understood it, and their actions were restrained a lot, and they did not continue to force him. So in the following days, he returned to his previous life.
In addition to reporting to his superiors every now and then, telling them some of the things he saw and heard, supplemented by subjective analysis, in order to make them understand their situation and have a grasp of the current situation.
In today's Shanghai, his position can be said to be the highest. It's just that because he didn't surrender to the Japanese, he couldn't get the latest and most confidential information. But he has also been deliberately colluding with the Japanese recently, and he also went to attend Japanese cocktail parties when he had nothing to do. They were all high-ranking Japanese military and political officials. Occasionally, an unintentional word was key intelligence, which was still useful. What's more, his business of reselling materials is the top priority. What he does alone is better than the red capitalists and the Red Party's own companies, and the things he does are more critical.
Based on these two points, he has received instructions that he does not need to go out in person to carry out sanctions unless it is necessary. If there is relevant information, he can inform the Shanghai underground party organization by himself. If the Shanghai underground party needs him to go out, he needs to report it for decision, depending on the situation. Of course, his record is too fierce. Not to mention his actual record in this world, when he broke into the prison before, he took advantage of the night and the terrain, one person and one gun, and tried to stop 500 Japanese troops for half an hour, and killed most of the commanders. This is extremely exaggerated.
After all, on the front battlefield, 500 Japanese troops can compete with 2,000 to 3,000 national troops, and also caused great casualties to the national army. Such a comparison also highlights Wang Yan's high ability in single-soldier combat, which is not suitable for use easily. Because after all, he is also risking his life, and he doesn't know when he will be unlucky, so he naturally has to use it to the edge.
As for women, because he only cares about his own happiness and does not care about women, Wang Manchun and Yu Manli always have to rest for two or three days after staying overnight, so nothing bad happened. In addition to these two women, he still maintains the good habit of going to dance halls, casinos, etc. to find women, and still follows the rhythm of working one day and resting one day.
To a certain extent, shamelessly speaking, he is also doing good deeds. Although the dancers nowadays look glamorous, their lives are also very difficult. And people's perversion has existed since ancient times. Dancers don't have a very high status. Facing those who can get out, their status is extremely weak and they can only take whatever they want. To be honest, there is not much difference from Yu Manli in the brothel, just like the burns and other whip marks on Yu Manli's body, they are all perverts. It's just that there are more opportunities for choice, and it is more likely to become a concubine of a big man and get rid of the current predicament.
Although Wang Yan didn't bring girls home, he was really generous and had enough sex. She slept with him for one night. Although she couldn't live a luxurious life for a month, it was enough for her to live a good life. So in this respect, he was really a living Bodhisattva.
At the same time, the Japanese special agents had basically completed their investigation of Manli. Yu Manli had been in Shanghai for such a long time before approaching Wang Yan. Before that, she was acting for the safety of her identity. Wang Tianfeng's arrangements were very thorough. The schools in Hunan, the gangsters who wanted to bully Yu Manli, the neighbors nearby, the distant uncle in Shanghai, where she lived, what she did on weekdays, who she contacted, how she got into the Catholic Church's elementary school as a Chinese teacher, and other details. Wang Tianfeng arranged them clearly, and the Japanese special agents also investigated them clearly.
Yu Manli was still safe for the time being. The suspicion was ruled out. The rest depended on whether she was related to something in the future. If she was caught, she would not be able to escape, but the surveillance on her was withdrawn. No matter what, Yu Manli climbed into Wang Yan's bed and established the only long-term partnership between them. She still had to give Wang Yan some face.
Apart from these things, Wang Yan only occasionally went to the police station to check in, keep in touch with the French people, and get a grasp of the situation in the area. Most of the time, he continued to be a big joke on the beach. The gangster leader was doing science and still followed him. Teachers and students from Datong University, as well as workers who have been added subsequently, are steadily advancing the research on instant noodles and beverages.
This research is not difficult, just fry the noodles, compress the vegetables, prepare the ingredient package, and then develop a plastic bag to package it to extend the shelf life. As for drinks, it's even easier. Cans are hard to come by, so just get glass bottles. These can be recycled, resmelted, and remade into bottles. The main difficulty lies in researching and manufacturing production equipment. Although manpower is not valuable, noodles and drinks are also not valuable. It is still necessary to improve the flow production process as much as possible and use as little manual operation as possible. After all, once the assembly line is opened, there will be continuous production, which is faster than manual labor.
Of course, even so, with the existing technology, we still need to rely on manual labor, and it also requires a lot of workers, which is what it should be. Any time we can provide jobs for the people and prevent them from gathering to make trouble, it is a great achievement. This was true more than eighty years later, it was true in the past hundreds of thousands of years, and it is true now.
Whether they are the Japanese or foreigners from Britain, France and the United States, what they want is to control the stability of the region, and on this basis, harvest as much as possible. Once large-scale worker unemployment breaks out, under the leadership of caring people, trouble will be caused. You can never rely on killing to solve all problems. Killing can only show temporary power, and the accumulated anger will be even more serious when it breaks out next time. Therefore, in this era, providing a large number of jobs is also a talisman that is neither big nor small.
The research on penicillin in Yan'an is also progressing very smoothly. Large quantities of penicillin cultivated by local methods have been tested on mice and injured soldiers. However, due to purity issues, the effect is not that powerful, but continued use of the drug It still showed good results.
This confirmed the effectiveness of penicillin and gave experts and scholars in Yan'an confidence, and then invested almost all their efforts in purification and mass production for research. At present, the progress is good, experimental drugs have been produced, and further experiments on the efficacy of the drugs are being carried out.
This news was told to Wang Yan by the handsome man to let him know how it was progressing. After all, if it is really mass-produced, he still has to sell it. This is to help him maintain a good relationship with the Red Party. It is normal for the Red Party to reciprocate and give him a profitable business. Another point is that his channels are more powerful, whether selling to Japanese or foreigners, they are very comprehensive.
Just like the scene where soldiers on the front line are fighting desperately while Japanese goods are rampant in the rear. The Red Party has really developed penicillin, but its soldiers will certainly not be able to use it. It can only develop a little bit, and the excess goods must be sold to exchange for resources and relieve the pressure on the Soviet area. And the Japanese are running rampant in China, so it's impossible not to sell to them. All I can say is that if you sell it for less, it will be more expensive.
The battle situation on the front line is still not ideal. Wuhan has begun to fight fiercely, losing ground every day, and the war situation is reported on the radio every day. War reporters at this time were very powerful and had absolute first-hand information. However, the broadcasts of the Japanese puppet government always talk about how powerful the samurai of the Empire of Japan are and how vulnerable the national army is. The Red Party guerrillas are basically not mentioned. Then they talk about their co-prosperity in East Asia and let China People know the current affairs and don't make trouble.
Relatively speaking, the National Government's radio stations are much better. They reported the results of the war and the tragic-sounding casualty figures, and then called on the people of the country to unite. They made impassioned speeches about their determination to die as slaves to the country, and called on people to join the team to resist Japan and save the country.
Wang Yan knew all the developments of the war, but he could not change anything, so if it were not for the fact that he still agreed with the Shanghai underground party on the emergency contact method at noon, he would not even listen to the radio. This is an escape, and it should be avoided to save yourself from trouble.
Time has arrived in August. Today is a cloudy day in Shanghai. Yesterday at midnight, a cold wind started to blow, dark clouds pressed over the city, and a heavy rain suddenly came. Fortunately, in the morning, the heavy rain turned to light rain, and it continued all day long.
Autumn has begun, and the rain no longer brings coolness to people, but a layer of chill. The house is damp and cold, and the wind and drizzle outside make it even colder. If you wear too much, it will be too hot, and if you don’t wear enough, it will be too cold.
Of course, this is generally the case when you have extra clothes that you can cut out, a house to live in, and shelter from the wind and rain. For someone standing on the street, wearing rag shoes tied with a rope, leaky rag clothes, and a black face and neck, I For the little beggars who used scissors to cut each other's hair in dog-gnawed hairstyles, held up tattered paper umbrellas with holes, and sheltered from the wind and rain under the eaves that could only cover half of the rainwater, autumn is here, can winter be far behind? ?
It's time to see who has a tough life. Another year has passed. When you are one year older, your physical strength will be better, and your life will be easier in the future. If you can't make it, your parents can't remember it. You might as well go down and have a look early, tell them about the difficulties, and seek some warmth and comfort that you have never experienced before. Life is so tiring...
The little beggars were trembling, looking at the table full of food by the window opposite, laughing and exchanging comments about the delicacies. Children, if they have different opinions, they will argue. If they don't understand the argument, their voices will get louder and it will be very lively.
It was during the argument of these little beggars that a rickshaw driver, wearing a raincoat and with rain all over his face, parked his rickshaw steadily at the door of the restaurant. The woman in cheongsam and silk stockings sitting on the seat handed over the money, then stepped on her high heels and got off the rickshaw, running into the restaurant with a fragrant breeze.
"Inspector Wang is not going to the dance hall today!" A little beggar stood on one foot, bent his other foot against the wall with his knees bent, hugged his shoulders, and said it very confidently, looking very smart.
As soon as this was said, a friend beside him said, "Nonsense, who doesn't know that woman is Inspector Wang's mistress? She came here, so she must be going back to Wang's mansion, what do you say?"
"I heard that she is also a primary school teacher, teaching Chinese."
"What is Chinese?"
"It's the Chinese you said, and when we sell newspapers, those articles on the newspapers that we can't understand, she teaches that."
"You know so much."
At this time, a little beggar raised his mouth, pretending to be indifferent and saying that everyone else knew these, but the little dirty teeth exposed could not be covered up.
Shanghai has another happy child, at least at this moment...
Of course, Wang Yan noticed the children opposite, and he even read their lips to know what the children were saying. It was an ignorant, pure and advanced happiness. Ignorance is because although these little things have developed some life skills, such as observing words and expressions, they don't know more about the world. Pure, because they are really just simple, aimlessly discussing some things that don't make much sense. Advanced, because he will never have the chance to feel this happiness again.
Even his current smile is just a joke on the child's simple mind.
Qi Si also looked out the window, but he didn't smile, because he once stood outside the window waiting for Wang Yan's leftovers. He knew that autumn and winter were coming, and diseases were more frequent. He knew that some people would never see each other again. He wanted to help do something, but he couldn't. So far, he has only found a warehouse belonging to Yonghua Industrial to give that group of people a place to stay, and occasionally send some money.
Having followed Wang Yan for so long, many things have not been hidden from him, and he has truly felt the Japanese's cruelty. It is clear that Wang Yan did not lie to him at the beginning. The Japanese will really threaten him with the lives of those little beggars. If he does not obey, these little beggars will definitely die miserably, and he has no way to take revenge. Because the Japanese had already contacted him secretly...
Qi Si's ears moved when he heard the footsteps of high heels. He came back to his senses and stood up with his bowl and chopsticks to the table next to him. Then he came back and took a few dishes to eat by himself. He also nodded to Yu Manli who came slowly. Compared with Wang Manchun, he still liked this Yu Manli more.
After she sat down and fiddled with the bowl and chopsticks brought by the waiter who followed closely, Wang Yan asked: "Didn't we just see you the day before yesterday? Why did you come here by yourself the next day?"
"Why, you can't come even if you have nothing to do? Can't you come because you miss you?" Yu Manli seemed a little unhappy and a little naive. She was only 20 years old this year, very young, but she still pretended to be a young woman. She didn't believe that she couldn't beat Wang Manchun, a 27-year-old slut, based on this.
She had a very comfortable life in Shanghai. Apart from attending classes and correcting homework, she spent the rest of her time making friends outside. With her skills acquired from her background in the entertainment industry and her cultural background, she quickly made friends with women from other schools and other places. Moreover, with the money Wang Yan gave her, the purchasing power of the US dollar was extremely strong. She felt the beauty of Shanghai that she had never imagined before.
But she had to pay very little, just occasionally seeing Wang Tianfeng, and the rest was to accompany Wang Yan toss and turn. She still enjoyed the process, it was really the right time...
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "I advise you to say it if you have something to say, don't keep me on suspense."
Yu Manli rolled her eyes. She was already familiar with Wang Yan and consciously grasped his scale. She curled her lips, took a bite of food, and said: "You will be in trouble."
"Tell me."
Seeing that Wang Yan was still as careless as before, Yu Manli leaned forward, supported her hands on the edge of the table, and got as close to him as possible, lowering her voice: "Secretary of the Chief of the Military Control Commission, Mao Qiwu came secretly, he wants to see you."
Observing Wang Yan's expression carefully, she frowned and asked: "Why don't you react? Aren't you surprised? Don't you want to know why he came to see you? "
"Being calm in the face of major events is the most basic quality of a superior, and it is also something that you, an agent lurking behind enemy lines, must possess. You must control your expression and eyes, and don't show shock when you hear any shocking news, so that you can live longer."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Mao Qiwu sneaked into Shanghai secretly and wanted to see me. I don't have to be curious about why he wants to see me, because I will know it when the time comes. And the purpose of his wanting to see me is actually not difficult to guess. I have business dealings with him, a large amount of dealings, and we are also friends. Logically speaking, he must communicate with me before coming to Shanghai, because there is business involved, and because I can be trusted.
But he didn't tell me in advance, but sneaked into Shanghai directly, and used your channel to make an appointment with me. That means he was in a difficult situation, but he had to do it. He wanted to force the matter directly to my face, so that I could make a choice and give an answer directly. My only recent trouble, besides the Japanese matter, is Du Yong. So Du Yong must have said something to Dai Yunong and persuaded him, so he sent Mao Qiwu to come here in person, not only to inspect the work of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, but also to communicate with me secretly. Looking at your expression, you know that what I said is not wrong. "
Yu Manli's eyes widened, she really felt the horror of having a brain: "What you said is the same as Wang Tianfeng's analysis, he also thinks so. How do you know?"
"Everything is related. As long as you have enough information and have a clear understanding of yourself and others, then some things can be expected. I thought before that Du Yong would drag you Kuomintang into it, but it was just because he was a big tree with deep roots and too many disciples and old friends, and I didn't know which department to drag in. ”
Wang Yan took a sip of wine, ate the food and smiled: "To be honest, in this small piece of land in Shanghai, I, Wang, am a much bigger target than Mao Qiwu. It is impossible to meet secretly because I have no secrets. If we meet publicly, the Japanese have his photos. If he is discovered, it will be a disaster for your Shanghai Intelligence Station. If he dies, it will be ok. If he is arrested, you will all die. Even if Mao Qiwu confessed late and you ran away from Shanghai, Dai Yunong will definitely enforce the family law on you. Wang Tianfeng is capable and he will not die, but you can't say anything about it."
"I am just working down there. Besides, you are here. I am by your side and you can't find fault with me. "Yu Manli didn't care, she turned to talk about the meeting with Mao Qiwu...
