The Greater Shanghai Plan is a plan formulated by the Nanjing National Government to build a new Shanghai and break the monopoly of the Shanghai Public Concession and the Shanghai French Concession in the city center.

In this big Shanghai plan, a new municipal government building was built as a matter of course.It is at the center of the Great Shanghai Project, where the four main roads of 'Sanmin', 'Five Powers', 'World' and 'Datong' meet, is the building.

After the Battle of Songhu, the national army retreated and the Japanese occupied this place, which became the office of the puppet government.Now that the Wang Zhaoming group has agreed to establish a puppet national government, this municipal building will naturally be handed over to the Wang puppet government.

As the director of the economic department, Minglou's office is here.Today, the Department of Economic Affairs invited business people from Shanghai to discuss the future of Shanghai's economy, and it was arranged in a meeting place not far from the municipal building.

For this kind of thing, almost all the businessmen in Shanghai have come.Because they want to do business, they still do business in the Japanese-occupied area. In the past, it was under the jurisdiction of the loose local puppet government, and later it will be under the jurisdiction of the unified puppet national government. Therefore, they must obey the orders of the puppet national government, follow their rules, and pay the required fees tax.

However, the puppet government is also busy in vain. The money obtained by all walks of life and the search for the poor people in China basically fell into the hands of the Japanese chaebols and the government.

But looking at it from another angle, Wang Zhaoming, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fuhai and others who are high-level executives are not bad at all. They should be rich or rich.And those middle and low-level people who work for the puppet government are not bad.After all, the money passed through their hands first, and then turned over.From top to bottom, the mouth is full of oil.

But then again, why don't Wang Zhaoming and others want to be financially independent, get money to run a good power, develop and grow for the world.Before finding the Japanese, they must have thought so.But as the conversation deepened, they found that the facts were far from what the Japanese said before.But at this time, they had no way out.

Zhou Fuhai was able to ride the fence and then turn around and defect to the Kuomintang, but Wang Zhaoming and Chen Gongbo could not.Especially Wang Zhaoming was bound to die.His situation is not the same as that of Puyi. After all, Wang Zhaoming was once the second in command of the Kuomintang, and he had been given a chance before. If there is a raging public opinion caused by the treason incident, it will never be allowed to end well...

In the venue, there were hundreds of people sitting there, all of them were smart people, they didn't need to be greeted by others, let alone put up a sign to write down their positions, they would know where to sit by comparing themselves.

Wang Yan crossed his legs, with a gentle smile on his face, and sat in the center of the first row. This was his position as the richest man in Shanghai and other status bonuses.Of course, the addition of other identities is the main thing. After all, there are no rights but benefits, and they are lambs to be slaughtered.Even if he is not the richest man, he is in the central position here.Because all the people here are businessmen, it doesn't matter who is behind them. Here, there is no way they will be more popular than him, the rogue leader.Besides, the people behind these businessmen are really not as powerful as him, Mr. Wang.

Sitting on the rostrum in front were Zhou Fuhai, Minglou and other officials from the economic department.Zhou Fuhai came to Minglou's platform. He gave an opening speech, from the international to the domestic, and then to the Wang puppet government to economic affairs, calling on everyone to work together to maintain the economic prosperity of the areas ruled by the Wang puppet government.

Of course, no one believed it.Because when these people here came over, they had already seen the No. 76 operatives outside led by Li Shiqun himself, all of them armed with live ammunition and vicious.

But if you have to be hypocritical, you have to be hypocritical. Zhou Fuhai's speech received warm applause from the heart of hundreds of businessmen.

After Zhou Fuhai had spoken, he left on the pretext of being busy with business. He was indeed busy, and there were many messy things.After Zhou Fuhai left, Minglou, with his hair combed back and silver-rimmed glasses, cleared his throat and started talking about serious business.

He first introduced himself, and then talked about some future regulations and so on.The main thing is to tell all the businessmen present the new rules of the Wang puppet government.Others don't know what's going on, but Wang Yan knows it all the time.Just a few days ago, Zhou Fuhai had invited him to dinner, and Wang Zhaoming, Chen Gongbo and other senior officials of the Wang puppet government were at the same table.Zhou Fohai told him about these things at that time, and coming here today is just a formality.

After all, he is not the richest man in Shanghai for nothing, and at the same time he does business with the two parties, foreigners, and Japanese, and his influence is too great.These things can be done without his support, but they are not easy to do.Because there will always be people who disagree and gather around Wang Yan to fight against their rule, and at that time he will have to be killed.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Yan to disagree, the Japanese will not let him go, how can he stay if he does not cooperate with the work.Therefore, it can only be said that Wang Fuqu solicited Der Spiegel, and Der Spiegel refused again and again, to be able to live and do business, it can only be said that the plot required it.To explain it reluctantly, Ming Lou still has some face, and Wang Fuqu still has some reputation, and he didn't deliberately target the Ming family.Otherwise, Der Spiegel has a hundred lives, which is not enough for the Japanese to kill.

However, Wang Yan agrees, but he must implement double standards.Otherwise, if he really loses money, the consulate in Shanghai, the army, and the navy will make less money, and they will be unhappy.Support is support, but he can't be asked to pay. His money is complicated and involves too many aspects. Wang Zhaoming and Zhou Fuhai dare not take it.

However, personally, he still gave protection money to Wang Zhaoming, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fuhai and others.This is the rule, what should be given, to maintain the relationship...

His situation is definitely not an exception, but Zhou Fuhai didn't act personally.For this kind of thing, the most enthusiastic person is Wang Fuqu sitting next to him. This old boy is the president of the chamber of commerce, and he is still working in the maintenance association. At the same time, he is also seeking a higher official position in the Wang puppet government, and he is jumping up and down. .

There is no doubt that Ming Lou, an economic expert who has studied abroad, formulated new policies and regulations under the organization of the puppet government, not really for the prosperity of the so-called Shanghai Bund economy, but to exploit these exploiting capitalists. This matter comes with a lot of money, and the money comes fast.

"...The above are some of the policies that our economic department intends to implement. Of course, the purpose of our government is to make everyone's business better, to make the economy of the new national government more prosperous, so that everyone here can earn more A lot of money. I don’t know what do you think about the new economic policy that the new government is about to implement?”

After spraying a lot of saliva, Minglou got to the point, his gaze rested on Wang Yan's face for a moment, and then he glanced at Wang Fuqu and the rich people in Shanghai behind him.

A broken mouth is one of the cheapest diseases of human beings.Being lucky is also one of the cheapest diseases of human beings.So when Minglou's voice fell, there were whispers in the venue.One person whispers, two people whisper, and the whispers of more than 100 people are buzzing.

After three to five minutes, the venue finally became quiet again.After another minute of silence, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes realized that they were sitting in the middle of the front row, with his legs crossed, his body slanted, and his head sideways digging out his ears.

But it's a pity that even though Wang Yan had sensed the gaze from behind, he didn't speak.And Minglou on the stage didn't care, just put on the cap of the pen idly, twirling it with his fingertips, while flipping through the documents in his hand.

The merchants buzzed again, they were a little panicked because they didn't know more news.They watched the people in the first two rows sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and even acquaintances chatted in low voices.

Some of them were quick-tempered, and wanted to stand up several times to express their opinions, but they were all pulled back by the people next to them.

Wang Yan heard clearly from the front.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see those spies outside? Stand up at this time, and you won't be able to go back today."

"But what kind of bullshit policy is that? They don't make a sound. It seems that they have colluded and are targeting us."

"What can you do? You have to know that if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's better to earn less and have a harder life than to lose your life."

"..."

Probably all of these conversations are like this, which shows that they are all aware of current affairs.

After another three to five minutes of buzzing, the venue became quiet again.This time, Wang Yan spoke.

"Wang thinks that the new government's new policy is not bad, and Wang supports it. President Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Fuqu nodded repeatedly, and stood up with a smile: "I think the new government's policies are beneficial to all of us. Since Mr. Wang has agreed, as the chairman of the chamber of commerce, Wang must also make a statement. Wang fully supports the new policy of the new government. I know that everyone has concerns, but everyone must trust Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang has the future of China and the peace of East Asia in his heart, and he will definitely not treat you badly in these small things."

As his voice fell, other people in the first two rows also expressed their support one after another.These people already represent half of the strength of the merchants in Shanghai. With spies on the outside and traitors on the inside, the rest of the merchants can only smile and nod in agreement even if they feel unwilling...

Earlier, the reason why Wang Yan didn't open his mouth was to give Minglou a chance to kill and gain power.Of course, this was not his original intention, but he had passed the qi before.This is the plunder of power, without bloodshed, it depends on who is the one who can't hold back.

Minglou just sneered lightly just now. Given the situation just now, someone above must have stood up and scolded the traitor.Then within 30 seconds, Li Shiqun from outside would rush in with someone, beat him half to death, and take him away.

Perhaps Minglou didn't want to kill more innocent people, so he didn't speak.If Wang Yan went up, he wouldn't open his mouth either.Of course, this mainly depends on Zhou Fuhai's intentions. There is a lot of pressure there.

In today's China, many innocent people die on the ground and rot in the mud every day.Perhaps when they die, they will be enlightened and blame the Japanese as well as their own people...

Minglou nodded in satisfaction and stood up, with a majestic appearance and a bit of courage: "Okay, since that's the case, let's stop here today. Someone will contact you later, and I hope you will cooperate and don't make trouble. If it's a joke, it's not good."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people got up biting their cheeks, and walked out in a cloudy manner.Under Li Liqun's regretful eyes, he left.

Minglou didn't pay attention to those people, he walked a few steps quickly, and came to Wang Yan who had stood up, turned his neck and yawned because of sitting for a long time, stretched his arms and stretched his waist to exercise his muscles and bones.

"Mr. Wang, thank you for your support today."

"Hey, I promised Mr. Zhou Fuhai a long time ago. There is no support for what I said. Don't say such lies." Wang Yan shook hands with Minglou, and he turned his head to look at Minglou. The backs of those who were anxious to leave: "Do you think I am different from them? They are all under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. They can't help themselves..."

"Mr. Wang is cautious, it's better to be more careful." Minglou couldn't help but widen his eyes, can he say these words casually?Especially not just the two of them, Wang Fuqu was standing next to him, and there were other businessmen too.

Wang Fuqu also interjected at the side: "Yes, you can't talk nonsense about this."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "I have my own discretion about what I can say and what I can't say. I said this to Mr. Wang three days ago, and I also told Mr. Iwai Eiichi. Everyone is smart. People, sometimes you have to pretend to be confused and stupid, sometimes it’s not necessary. Some words, some complaints, are normal, whether it’s Mr. Wang or Mr. Eiichi Iwai, they all understand.”

"That's Minglou talking too much. I don't know if you have time? If it's convenient, Minglou would like to treat you to lunch. There are some things that I need to talk to you further. If there is any misunderstanding, it will not be beautiful."

Minglou changed the subject very naturally, made his intentions clear, and didn't talk too much about the topic of 'involuntary'.

"Wang is short of everything, but not short of time. Let's go, it's indeed time for lunch, I'll listen to your arrangement."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yan nodded to Wang Fuqu and the other big businessmen, turned around and left without further words.Ming Lou also greeted everyone from behind, and trotted to catch up with Wang Yan.After giving an address, he got into the front of Mingcheng's car and led the way, while Wang Yan and Qi Si followed behind.

Minglou respected Wang Yan very much, because even the director of the Economic Department could be ranked in the Wang puppet government according to his rank, and even he also worked part-time as the deputy director of the special committee, who was at the same level as Li Shiqun, so he could For No. 76 to intervene, his status in the Wang puppet group is still sufficient.Of course, although this position configuration is not very reasonable, but the plot is there, it is not a problem for economical agents to intervene in the affairs of the spy organization.

But his status was not enough for Wang Yan, and there was nothing he could do about it. In fact, Wang Yan's status was too complicated, and the superimposed energy of many identities was too great, and the involvement was too wide. He couldn't do without respecting Wang Yan.

As the car came to a nearby Huaiyang restaurant, without Wang Yan talking, Minglou explained first, just serve the signature dishes and so on, and fill the table.

Then it was time to talk about things in a quiet corner, and what they said was very important, but that was the case for Wang Yan.In the general direction, he has already negotiated with Zhou Fuhai, but now Minglou needs to clarify the privileges of his property item by item, and there must be rules to frame them, and everyone should do things within the rules.

These things are very boring, but Qi Si and Ming Cheng, who are sitting at the other table eating together, are somewhat interesting.

"Hey, I heard that you have been in the Ming family since you were a child?" Qi Si spoke first, like a rude boy.

Mingcheng played with the steaming teacup in his hand, and looked at the boy in front of him with a smile: "I heard that you are a little beggar, and you were brought by Mr. Wang's side because you discovered that the Japanese installed bugging equipment in Mr. Wang's house." , and also arranged for you to be patrolled by the arresting house?"

"What happened to the little beggar?"

"What happened to being adopted by the Ming family since childhood?"

In a simple two-sentence conversation, it was obvious that Qi Si was not Mingcheng's opponent, so he turned to say: "I don't mean anything else, I just heard about you, so I'm curious. You still have someone to adopt, I If it wasn't for his fate, he would have died in the stinky ditch long ago."

"It's not easy." Mingcheng sighed, instead of following the tragic past, he asked unintentionally, "I heard you know martial arts?"

"That said, those who eat this kind of food, wouldn't their hands have been killed eight hundred times long ago? On the way to escape, I met a kind person who sheltered me for a period of time and passed on my inner family's wishes. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone now. It's probably dead. I think you're in good spirits, aren't you also a practitioner?"

"I don't have your chance. I only learned a few Sanshou moves when I was your age. I have learned some western boxing with Mr. Ming in foreign countries these years. Now because of your height and strength, you may not be my opponent. But wait another two years for your body to develop well, and I won't be able to beat you."

Mingcheng followed the words and asked naturally: "Mr. Wang has a high position and power, and he has a lot of money in his hands. If he takes you around everywhere, isn't he afraid of danger?"

"You know about me, how can you not know about Brother Yan? Brother Yan went to the streets to hack people and grab land when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He has been practicing hard for so many years, and his skills are boundless. But Brother Yan said No matter how many people you can beat and how many people there are, what is there to do? Now everyone uses guns, no one uses knives. Someone really wants to kill him, and ten or eight gunmen rush forward with submachine guns. Take a company of people around and show off? So let me be his driver myself."

"Oh, it's Mr. Wang who sees and thinks clearly about this matter. Mr. Ming also said the same thing. Of course, Mr. Ming and Mr. Wang are incomparable, but they have the same idea. I think the two of them must have a good chat while chatting. Just like the two of us, I think that although you are not very old, you are right with me and have a natural kindness. Maybe we were unlucky when we were young... ..."

He went back again...Qi Si took a deep breath and asked, "I heard that you and Mr. Ming were in England before. What was it like there? Shanghai, okay?"

"England, it's not too good, it's always raining..."
