Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 791 Ming Lou: Director, let’s do some business!
The headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau was in chaos. Countless agents who were "loyal" to Mao Renfeng rushed out together, carried Mao Renfeng into the car, and rushed to the hospital urgently accompanied by Ming Lou.

Zhang Anping, the instigator, did not evade his responsibility and directly arranged for Lin Nansheng to lead a team to closely protect Director Mao. People who didn't know would think that Zhang Anping was Director Mao's most loyal subordinate.

After Mao Renfeng was rushed to the hospital, the story of why Mao Renfeng vomited blood spread quickly within the leak bureau.

"Chief Zhang scolded Chief Mao into the hospital!"

Do you think this is the headline of the Leak Bureau now?
Do not!
The real headlines were the ones Zhang Anping cursed about - the reorganization of the Military Control Commission, people's panic, and various things happened one after another during this period, and almost every one of them was heartbreaking.

In fact, ordinary agents cannot accurately judge the situation - they can only see that Zhang Anping and Mao Renfeng seem to be fighting, but they can't really tell the specific fighting method.

But when the content of Zhang Anping's scolding of Mao Renfeng became known, the eyes of ordinary agents finally saw through the fog and the truth.

anger!
The entire Military Control Commission seemed to be surrounded by flames of anger.

"Mao is going too far! Commander Zhang is right. Internal fighting is fine, but the premise of internal fighting cannot be at the expense of the interests of the Military Control Commission. Does Mao still care about the interests of the Military Control Commission?"

"Chief, he is a worthless chief. I only recognize Chief Zhang!"

"Keep your voice down—our director has taken refuge with him."

"Humph, Director, just vote. I only recognize Chief Zhang. After Boss Dai died, everyone was pursuing personal gain. Only Chief Zhang cared about the Military Control Commission. As for the Military Control Commission, I only recognize Chief Zhang!"

These words expressed the thoughts of most members of the Military Control Commission: The infighting among your high-level leaders is your business, but you should not disregard the interests of the entire Military Control Commission.

The Military Intelligence Bureau does not belong to just one person. What rights do you have to wantonly harm the interests of the Military Intelligence Bureau?
Damn chief!
The grassroots agents were already full of good feelings towards Zhang Anping. After Zhang Anping's words spread, their resentment towards the top leaders of the Military Control Commission skyrocketed. Only Zhang Anping gained their infinite respect.

Grassroots agents can talk freely, but the top brass of the Military Control Commission cannot be so "carefree".

Because they have more things to consider.

But people are all made of flesh and blood. Mao Renfeng's repeated disregard for the interests of the Military Control Commission really disappointed the top leaders.

Two senior executives of the Mao faction were chatting in the office.

"Commander Zhang, I'm afraid you've been pissed off this time."

"Isn't it obvious?"

Their eyes were not blind. During this period, Mao Renfeng had been constantly making trouble, but Zhang Anping had always been on the defensive and never took the initiative to attack. They naturally understood that it was not that Zhang Anping did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack, but that the current Military Control Commission was mainly seeking stability.

After all, there will be a reorganization. More than 20,000 people will be laid off and 20,000 people will be diverted. As long as we keep the Military Control Commission in mind, we should focus on stability at this time.

But Mao Renfeng jumped around too happily and would make trouble as long as he found an opportunity.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a hassle. That’s how political struggles are.

However, can the current Military Control Commission be manipulated at will?

"Are we really going to be tied to his rotten boat from now on?" The senior military official who spoke said unwillingly, "I really hate him to the extreme!"

The senior executive who was talking to him said mysteriously and disdainfully:
"Tied to his boat? Why?"

"are you……"

"Stop, let's stop talking about this—just understand!"

hiss--

Got it, got it!
No wonder the old friend had vowed before that he would not be wrong to listen to him - you know, he had no hesitation in going to Shanghai to pay his respects to Commander Zhang!
"I understand, I understand, Commander Zhang. It's difficult for him. It's really difficult for him. I understand. Old Gong, you forced me to join Old Mao. Please don't cheat me at the critical moment!"

His companion glared at him unhappily:
"If I were to trick you, I wouldn't be telling you this!"

The performance of these two people reflects the current status of most of the senior leaders of the Military Control Commission.

In order to fight Zhang Anping, Mao Renfeng really used all means to do so. Most of the senior officials who had to join Mao Renfeng for their own power were only doing so temporarily from the beginning.

Just like Shen Zui, does he really want to join Mao Renfeng?
No!

Shen Zui has the operational power in his hands. Having joined the Military Control Commission for more than ten years, these old brothers have followed him. As their leader, Shen Zui must be responsible for them.

Zhang Anping has his own direct lineage, and these direct lineages have their own power. As the head of a faction, he must consider the interests of his direct lineage - when the limited quota gives priority to direct lineages, there are really too few places that can be allocated.

This is exactly the case - Zhang Anping had 5,000 quotas, and he left 3,000 for his own direct descendants.

So Shen Zui had no choice but to go to Mao Renfeng for help.

But if you surrender, you don't have to be tied to Mao Renfeng forever.

However, if there is no overwhelming trend, these people are unwilling to untie themselves easily.

And now, Zhang Anping has exposed all of Mao Renfeng's actions, and this huge trend has taken shape.

What the people want is the trend!

Under such circumstances, many senior Military Control Commission officials who had surrendered to Mao Renfeng were considering whether to untie themselves.

……

hospital.

Special care unit.

Mao Renfeng rinsed his mouth, spit out the mouthwash with blood, and weakly asked Minglou who was accompanying him in the ward:
"The bureau is in chaos, right?"

He knew clearly that Zhang Anping's condemnation standing at the door of the office must have spread throughout the entire Military Control Commission.

Ming Lou avoided his gaze and said, "Director, you can rest assured. It's not a big problem."

"Don't worry... bullshit!" Mao Renfeng cursed angrily, "My wall is about to be dug down by him, and he is about to bury me, how can I be at ease?"

Mao Renfeng gritted his teeth and wished he could cut Zhang Anping into pieces.

I'm really angry. I'm about to explode.

The situation that he had worked so hard to build up collapsed completely with just a slight push from Zhang Anping.

"No, I have to talk to them one by one. Once you get on my boat, Mao Renfeng, no one can get off!"

Ming Lou smiled bitterly and said, "Director, I'm afraid... no one dares to come."

"No one dares to come? I don't believe it!" Mao Renfeng said viciously, "The 5,000 positions I have are not fake! Now that the layoffs are still undecided, if they dare not come, I dare to fire them!"

"Without the Military Control Commission, they are nothing!"

Ming Lou said with a complicated expression: "Zhang Anping is too ruthless. He, he sent Lin Nansheng to guard here. With Lin Nansheng here, they... probably won't dare to come."

Mao Renfeng was confused. What was going on?
But he soon understood the significance of Zhang Anping's actions.

Mao Renfeng is in hospital and it is impossible for him to be discharged easily because he still wants to use his hospitalization to attack Zhang Anping.

If he is discharged from the hospital, won’t there be no excuse to attack Zhang Anping?

But if he is not discharged from the hospital, Lin Nansheng, Zhang Anping's loyal dog, will stay in the hospital, and any high-ranking official of the Military Control Commission will be put on Zhang Anping's black book!
"You're forcing me to leave the hospital!"

Mao Renfeng was furious. Damn Zhang Anping, damn Zhang Anping, vicious, so damn vicious. He must force him to be discharged from the hospital - only if he is discharged, Lin Nansheng will not stay with him, otherwise that would give him an excuse.

Monitor the director or kill Lin Nansheng.

Mao Renfeng didn't dare to kill Zhang Anping before because with Zhang Anping's stubbornness and sentimentality, if he dared to kill Lin Nansheng, Zhang Anping would dare to kill him. Mao Renfeng was very clear about this, so his target of internal fighting has always been Zhang Anping, rather than constantly eliminating Zhang Anping's wings.

Zhang Anping's character is too tough and too emotional, so Mao Renfeng doesn't dare to gamble.

But he was monitoring Mao Renfeng, so he could be killed. He had sufficient reasons, so Zhang Anping didn't dare to react.

But Mao Renfeng couldn't be discharged from the hospital. If he didn't, he could use this as an excuse to "complain" to his superiors, telling them that he was hospitalized because of a deputy position - but if he was discharged, the higher-ups were biased towards Zhang Anping, and if he tried to smooth things over, wouldn't he be wronged in vain?
Seeing that Mao Renfeng was very frustrated, Ming Lou volunteered: "How about I ask Ah Cheng to bring some people over to drive Lin Nansheng away?"

"Mingcheng is not suitable." Mao Renfeng shook his head. Minglou was his die-hard fan, and doing this would easily cause a backlash from Zhang Anping.

Given Zhang Anping's temperament, he would definitely take action himself.

Ming Lou asked again: "Then I'll go?"

"You and him no longer have a close relationship. Who knows, he might take this opportunity to punish you."

If Mao Renfeng pretends to be sick and cannot go there in person, and if Zhang Anping goes there under the pretext of protection, Minglou really cannot stop him - Minglou will be in trouble if he puts a accusation on him.

Just as I was thinking about how to break the impasse, there was suddenly a noisy sound outside.

Ming Lou was startled: "Zheng Yaoxian?"

"It's Lao Qi's voice, go and take a look!"

"Then Director, you..." Minglou was worried about Mao Renfeng's safety.

Mao Renfeng waved his hand: "Zhang Anping has not yet gone so far as to assassinate me. Let's go and see what's going on with Old Seven!"

"Yeah." Minglou then left the ward.

In the hospital corridor, Zheng Yaoxian looked at Lin Nansheng with a bad face:
"Lin Nansheng, you have grown up, huh? You just treat my words as farts, right?"

Lin Nansheng said calmly, "Teacher Zheng, I am also worried about Director Mao's safety."

Zheng Yaoxian is also one of the teachers at Guanwang Temple, but most of the students at Guanwang Temple call Zhang Anping "teacher", while other teachers are called by their surnames.

Of course, Lin Nansheng didn't know Zheng Yaoxian's identity.

"Worried? I think it's surveillance!" Zheng Yaoxian sneered: "Deputy Director Zhang Anping is constantly occupying the position of the magpie, isn't it?"

"Lin Nansheng, I'll give you one minute. Take your people and get out of here right now! Otherwise..."

Zheng Yaoxian's face darkened:
"I'll give you dignity!"

Zhao Jianzhi and Song Xiaoan, who were following behind Zheng Yaoxian, put their hands on the holsters as Zheng Yaoxian spoke, and waited for Zheng Yaoxian's signal.

Lin Nansheng hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Retreat."

Zheng Yaoxian was the district chief of Henan District. The Henan District was to be downsized this time, but he, as the district chief, was able to enter the bureau headquarters because of his relationship with Mao Renfeng. In addition, considering that the other party was also a teacher at the Guanwang Temple training class, Lin Nansheng weighed the pros and cons and gave up on the idea.

Zhang Anping's purpose was very simple, which was to "lock up" Mao Renfeng during this period of time, prevent him from showing up and causing trouble, so that he could complete the reorganization safely.

But if you want to open this window, you have to lift the roof first.

Otherwise, Mao Renfeng would not be so obedient - only if Mao Renfeng knew that he was being watched could he pretend to be sick in the hospital.

After driving Lin Nansheng away, Zheng Yaoxian snorted and motioned for Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi to wait while he walked towards Minglou:

"Lin Nansheng is the only one who blocked you guys. It's really embarrassing."

Minglou was speechless and cast a hidden look at Zheng Yaoxian. Zheng Yaoxian nodded slightly and strode into the ward.

"Lao Mao, being the director is such a humiliating experience!"

Zheng Yaoxian and Mao Renfeng are partners in the fight against Zhang. As his position becomes more and more important, Zheng Yaoxian gradually shows his domineering side.

The general character setting is: If you, Old Mao, don’t have me, Zheng Yaoxian, can you hold the position of director securely?
This was naturally a character setting that Zheng Yaoxian deliberately displayed, mainly for the sake of balance - if he obeyed Mao Renfeng's orders and submitted to him, Mao Renfeng's prestige would surely increase greatly, which would be detrimental to Zhang Anping's situation.

On the contrary, a domineering personality would allow Mao Renfeng to both use and guard against Zheng Yaoxian, and it could also affect Mao Renfeng's base.

The influence and prestige gained by Mao Renfeng, who completely won over Zheng Yaoxian, a veteran, and Mao Renfeng, under whom Zheng Yaoxian was arrogant and domineering, were completely different.

"Seventh Brother, I finally saw you." Mao Renfeng was pleasantly surprised and tried to stand up, but she was so weak that she fell down again halfway. Ming Lou hurried forward to help her, but was pushed away by Mao Renfeng. Mao Renfeng weakly held Zheng Yaoxian's hand:
"Seventh Brother, I...have lost my face like a lost soul. I am so ashamed!"

Zheng Yaoxian felt embarrassed, and restrained his domineering appearance a little, saying:

"Zhang Anping is going too far. Lao Mao, you need to be tough when it matters! You should scold him back the way he scolds you! Don't panic, I'm standing behind you!"

Mao Renfeng was not stupid, and he was not fooled by Zheng Yaoxian. He said dejectedly: "People's hearts are scattered, Lao Qi, this time, my men's hearts are scattered, Zhang Anping, you are going too far!"

"Right now, only you, Old Seven, can help my brother."

Zheng Yaoxian said carelessly: "How can I help? Just tell me!"

"Keep an eye on Zhang Anping and don't let him make any changes during the reorganization."

"Okay, the matter in Henan has been resolved, and I am free now!"

"I feel relieved now that Old Seven has taken action."

Mao Renfeng was extremely grateful, and acted as if saying, "Zheng Yaoxian is the person I, Mao Renfeng, trust the most."

After talking for a while, Zheng Yaoxian said goodbye. Mao Renfeng struggled to get up and see him off. Minglou, who was standing beside him, helped him up with great effort. Seeing this, Zheng Yaoxian said:
"Lao Mao, your body is almost drained of energy, so weak - all right, all right, don't send me off, and from now on, don't fight with goblins anymore, I'm leaving!"

Mao Renfeng gave up the idea of ​​seeing Zheng Yaoxian off and asked Minglou to see him off on her behalf.

Ming Lou pretended to send Zheng Yaoxian away and came back. After arranging Ming Cheng to bring people to guard the ward, he entered the ward and said to Mao Renfeng:

"Director, Zheng Yaoxian is becoming more and more domineering."

Mao Renfeng changed his previous weak expression and sneered:

"Some people always say that the running dog will be cooked when the rabbit dies, but they have no idea how domineering the running dog is!"

"Let him be domineering. It's a good opportunity to let him face off against Zhang Anping. We can take some time off."

Why does Mao Renfeng like Minglou?
Because Ming Lou has never bowed until now, and has been respectful at all times. The only disrespectful thing is that he has always called him Director - but this is an exclusive title used to show that Ming Lou is different from others.

If other people call me Director, I must let them know what a director means!
"Director, is it inappropriate to let Zheng Yaoxian oversee the reorganization?"

"It has to be inappropriate! Otherwise, these fence-sitters won't know who the real director is - Zheng Yaoxian will have his own selfish motives, let Zheng Yaoxian suppress them first, and then..."

Mao Renfeng smiled sinisterly. With Zheng Yaoxian suppressing those fence-sitters, they would have to come to him for the organization. He would have to make them surrender and tie them to his boat tightly!
Humph, I used to be only concerned with dealing with Zhang Anping. I always thought that after Zhang Anping fell, these fence-sitters would have no choice. I would then slowly deal with them and train them. But now it seems that I have to subdue these fence-sitters first.

Otherwise, I'll always be thinking about jumping off the boat!

"I am Mao Renfeng's boat. Can I get on and off whenever I want?"

"Director, it may not be easy to tie them up just by using this stick, right? Should we think of other ways?" Minglou made a suggestion hesitantly.

"What can you do?"

Mao Renfeng actually had already made up his mind, but since Minglou brought it up, he still wanted to hear Minglou's opinion.

"I think we can start some business and let them invest in it, so we can divide the work. In this world, gold is more attractive after all."

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Military Intelligence Bureau was involved in various money-making businesses on a large scale, including smuggling, antiques, opium, and even colluding with traitors and Japanese to make money.

The reason is also legitimate:
The Military Control Commission raised its own funds.

The money earned from this business supported the Military Intelligence Bureau, making it so large. Moreover, these businesses all paid dividends to middle and senior management - Dai Chunfeng used money to make the Military Intelligence Bureau an ironclad entity.

But after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, many businesses could no longer be done.

The only thing that can be done is the opium business and the drug business.

After Dai Chunfeng's death, Zhang Anping "imprisoned" himself in the mourning hall, and the Military Control Commission's opium business was swallowed up by various gangs. In addition, Zhang Anping disliked the opium business, which led to the Military Control Commission losing this source of income.

The pharmaceutical business was taken away by the Second Department.

The current Military Control Commission is in a state of being funded by the emperor, and has no external source of funds.

"Good idea!" Mao Renfeng was delighted. In fact, he had a similar idea, but he was still targeting the opium business. He asked Minglou, "What business do you have your eyes on?"

"It was Zhang who gave me the inspiration," Ming Lou said, "During the war, all countries were expanding their military production capacity. Once the war was over, a lot of production capacity was idle. Our country is in a state of disrepair, so why don't we develop industry?"

Mao Renfeng was stunned: "Industry?!"

He looked at Ming Lou in astonishment, thinking, "Lou, look at our Military Control Commission, do we look like we have the materials to engage in industry?"

Why do the four great gluttons like to rob and plunder?
Why do you like to use corruption to make money?
Why just make quick money?

It’s because making money through illegal means is too quick!

Not only do you not make much money from working hard in the industry, but you also have to deal with a lot of trivial matters.

The most important thing is to engage in industry, which requires brains, and to make quick money, which only requires power.

"Director, the Ming family has a good relationship with the Shanghai business community. Now everything is in ruins and the industry is actually quite profitable - but now... the environment is not very good, and we, the Military Control Commission, can help them avoid this."

"And we have smooth intelligence channels. Information is very important when doing business."

"what do you think?"

Mao Renfeng fell into deep thought. Minglou was right, but he had no money!
"You're right, but how can we afford to start a business? If we buy shares, will they be happy?"

Of course, the Military Control Commission could use its power to acquire shares, but how many companies could it acquire if it did so?
"Leave this to me!" Ming Lou said confidently, "I'll make the contact. We just need to provide them with channels, information and protection."

When Mao Renfeng thought of the Ming family's roots in Shanghai, he agreed with Ming Lou's words.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

Ming Lou smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will find a way to get some money first and distribute it as dividends. With this dividend, it will be difficult for them to get off the ship!"

Mao Renfeng's eyes lit up. He had originally planned to use some means to force these fence-sitters on board to surrender.

This is a form of coercion, and it's like forcing someone to do something against their will - naturally, they won't be willing to do it, but it's better than having no coercion at all!

But Minglou’s move is “6”!

How can you feel comfortable if you don't do it willingly?
