Chapter 654: Gossip-Mongering Wang Tianfeng

In the daytime, Shanghai is indeed a city of dreams. It is prosperous and beautiful, accommodates the dreams of careerists, carries the ambitions of invaders, and provides a chance for beggars to dream. Although the dream is unimaginable, I have never seen it before, so it is difficult to imagine it. Just like what the old farmers in the fields thought, the emperor might not have to use gold hoes for farming. The dreams offered here are more specific.

Even in very hot weather, there is an endless flow of people on the road and it is very lively. They include workers who work, homeless people and beggars who take shelter in the shade, women who meet up to drink tea and go shopping, and men who sit together to plan and talk.

Cars on the street honk their horns from time to time to urge pedestrians in front of them to step aside. Cars are expensive and the people riding in them have high status. They don't care what the people who are disturbed by their horns think. The trams pass by one after another, and there are always many people getting on and off at the stops.

At the junction of Father Jin Road and Xiafei Road, Yu Manli, who had taught Chinese language lessons to primary school children all morning, was wearing a dark red tight-fitting cheongsam and a pair of black ladies' leather shoes with small square heels. Carrying a delicate brown leather bag, she got off the tram gracefully.

Ignoring some men's unfavorable looks, she turned around and left along the road, looking at the shops on both sides of the road from time to time until she stopped at the door of a shop with the words 'He Ji Tailor Shop' written on it, and walked away very naturally. Go in.

As the store clerk greeted her, Yu Manli glanced around the fabrics and ready-made clothes hanging in the room. She grabbed a few clothes and felt the fabrics. She asked, "Are there any new good materials? I want to make them custom-made." A new cheongsam.”

The guy asked: "What color does Miss like?"

"Cyan, the weather is too hot, I need something more breathable."

"I'm sorry, Miss, we don't have new cyan material, but we do have white ones. You can make a white dress, which suits your temperament and is cool to wear."

"Let's take a look and tell you. Where is it?"

"Our boss is at the back, and he happens to have some patterns. You can take a look and choose the style. Miss, please come over here."

Yu Manli followed the guy to the back and saw Wang Tianfeng standing there with his hands behind his back, pretending to be superior.

When he heard the door closing as the waiter left, Wang Tianfeng turned around and looked at the tired but rosy-cheeked Yu Manli. He looked up and down for a while, then nodded and asked, "How was it?"

"He has a good reputation. He is indeed very cunning, has strong insight, and is thoughtful. He is worthy of being Detective Hua, who has made his mark by solving crimes. However, he is also really lustful, and he is even said to be bold in his sexual behavior. Yesterday at Paramount, I approached him according to the method you taught me. He sensed something was wrong when we were drinking. Later, when we were dancing, he touched my body and hands, judging that I had received special training. She suspected my purpose of approaching him. But even under such circumstances, she took me back to the prince's mansion, not at all afraid that I was going to assassinate him.

In addition, he has a good body and is very strong. He is not as thin as he looks at all. And in the morning, I saw him practicing martial arts on the grass. He was very natural and aggressive. Combined with his record of fighting with people on the street with a knife when he debuted, his mobility is definitely very strong. Considering his caution, when he was young, he might even have saved a hand and not shown that much strength. The purpose is to have room to fight back and survive when someone is offended and hunted.

He did not object to you sending me there, and even asked me to be careful to hide my whereabouts and not to contact you easily. He said that when I left Paramount with him, the Japanese had already launched an investigation into me. He also knew that our military commander had placed people under him, but I didn’t dare to ask. I wasn’t sure whether it was Qingfang or Yonghua Industrial, but he looked calm and confident, and everything was under control. I think he might be Specific people have been targeted, and not just one.

There is another thing. He said that Du Yong was assassinated in Hong Kong at noon yesterday. Du Yong used the topic to encourage the Youth League gang to oppose him. He said it was done by the Japanese, and asked me to tell you, if you don’t kill so many traitors and traitors who attended the reception a while ago, why don’t you keep them? He will give us a batch of medicines at cost price, saying that he has no courage to resist the Japanese, as a consolation. Our people. "

After hearing what Yu Manli said about the situation, Wang Tianfeng laughed out loud: "He felt the pressure from the Japanese and was forced to have no choice. He wanted us to divert the Japanese's energy, so that he could have a few days of leisure. Not bad. , it’s a better deal than anything else. Nowadays, the value of medicines has doubled, especially the medicines for anti-inflammatory pain. Our frontline soldiers are suffering. They have to bite sticks and have their limbs amputated. Alas..."

Thinking of the suffering of today's soldiers, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is there anything else? For example, some convenient details. Think about his unintentional words and his small actions."

"No more. He is so cautious. He wants to think about a sentence three times in his mind. There are basically no unintentional words... No!"

Yu Manli, who was lost in memories, suddenly stopped and faced Wang Tianfeng's probing eyes and said: "Yesterday before going to bed, he suddenly asked me who I was from. He guessed the Japanese and the Kuomintang, but he didn't guess the Red Party. I When asked why, he shook his head and smiled, saying that the Red Party could not do such a thing, and that they had discipline, which showed that he knew the Red Party very well and was not against it.”

"You are still not familiar with his information. Go back and take a closer look." Wang Tianfeng shook his head: "He has been studying since he was a child, and his academic performance is excellent. Later, he went to a foreign school funded by foreigners and studied well. But later he couldn't stand listening to those teachers talking about big principles, so he carried a knife and wandered the streets. But he did not stop self-study. He is proficient in English, French, Japanese, Russian and other languages, and has read countless books. I heard that there are several shelves of Chinese and foreign books in his study at home.

Although the Red Party is not strong, they are very good at winning over workers, students, and red capitalists and scholars. As early as a few years ago, we received How could the Red Party not try to win over Wang Yan after they had touched him? With his extensive knowledge and strong memory, how could he not understand the Red Party's ideology? Moreover, he held a high position, had a wide network of contacts, and was very wild. He knew things that I didn't know. Based on these alone, it was impossible to determine that he was loyal to the Red Party.

You have been in Shanghai for more than half a month. You must know that Wang Yan has become a laughing stock in Shanghai because he wants to do research and open a factory. Those who do research are all great scholars. Our people have had close contact with them, and quite a few of them have shown signs of being communistized. Wang Yan also stays with them openly all day to do research. We don't care. Do you think the Japanese don't care? Even those who helped Wang Yan... If Wang Yan has a problem, no matter how high or important his position is, the Japanese will kill him immediately.

What is the result? Wang Yan and the consulate, and even some people in the Japanese army and navy, started a business, selling Japanese goods to the Kuomintang-controlled areas and the Soviet areas. Although the packaging was changed, people from all walks of life knew it. I heard that Wang Yan was also related to Iwai Eiichi and was very close to him. Who has come out to make trouble for Wang Yan? He has a good face and a solid foundation. Why do you think he has no three-way support? It is because in the eyes of the three parties, he is a person without secrets, who knows how to make choices and know when to advance and retreat. Anyone can be a member of the Red Party, except him.

But you, who once went to school for a few years and is now a Chinese teacher, will certainly socialize with intellectuals of the same status in the future, so you should be careful about being communistized. The Red Party is good at telling stories, and you may hear from them about people who have suffered worse than you. They attribute the misery of these people to various problems in today's society. Who is in charge of China today? It is the party-state and the chairman. These people talk about their ideal of universal harmony and belittle the party-state to be nothing. Don't let me down..."

Yu Manli just nodded and didn't say anything more. She didn't like to talk much to Wang Tianfeng.

"Dancers in Shanghai say that Wang Yan is good at sex and that he is the most generous. You have experienced it yourself, so tell me, how long did you two spend together? How much money did he give you?"

Seeing Yu Manli pursing her lips and not wanting to talk, and glaring at her, Wang Tianfeng sneered, glared at her, and shouted in a low voice: "Do you think you are a virgin? Why are you pretending to be pure in front of me? Know your identity. You are on a mission, not really talking about love. The commander is asking you questions, answer whatever you ask, answer me!"

Yu Manli shuddered, clenched her fists, and stared at Wang Tianfeng. She wanted to stare at Wang Tianfeng to death, but unfortunately, Wang Tianfeng's dead fish eyes were too oppressive, and she was defeated in the end. Sighing dejectedly, she really had nothing to be reserved about, so she resigned herself to her fate and said, "It took almost three hours, and I gave her one thousand dollars."

"No wonder you said she was in good health and strong..."

"Sir, is there anything else?"

Wang Tianfeng waved his hand in boredom, "Go make some clothes. You approached him for money, and now that you have the money, you have to spend it vigorously. Not only do you have to make clothes, you have to eat at high-end restaurants and buy foreign cosmetics. You have to become like the socialites and noble ladies in Shanghai, but you can't be so vulgar, because you are a cultured and knowledgeable female teacher. You have to control the degree yourself, don't make it look out of place, like a prostitute in a brothel."

Yu Manli took a long breath, glared at Wang Tianfeng, snorted, turned around, opened the door and walked out. He always exposed her shortcomings to stimulate her, and although Wang Tianfeng was his savior, he couldn't stand such stimulation. The gratitude that was not much to begin with was also stimulated. After all, she was begging for death, but she was released. After a grueling spy training, she was sent to the Shanghai Green Gang tycoon as a contact tool. No matter how shameless and lowly she was, she still wanted some dignity, but Wang Tianfeng never gave it to her.

Wang Tianfeng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't like women very much, it was three hours...

Three-hour Wang Yan didn't know that Wang Tianfeng was so gossipy. He sat in the Huaiyang restaurant he often went to, facing a table full of various delicacies, eating and drinking elegantly: "How is it, Lao Liu, are Feng Nairong and the others quiet?"

Liu Yitong, who was sitting opposite with Qi Si, smiled and said: "Your gun, Chief Inspector Wang, has pointed it at the head of the old senior Du Yong, who dares to make trouble? Du Yong sent a telegram overnight, and I don't know what he said specifically, but when I met with them in the morning, they were more polite than each other. However, they also said that they still hope that everyone can maintain the current stable situation, maintain the harmony of the Youth League, and work together to make a fortune together. If you ask me, it's all superficial, and they are not convinced in their hearts."

Wang Yan also shook his head and laughed out loud: "These old guys are all very energetic, but they are also afraid of death. I don't understand, Old Liu, you said it has been more than a month since the Youth League was established, right? Except I accepted my fate as the accountant, investigated the background of the employees, and took the final decision on the construction and decoration of the headquarters building and the Golden Building. What else could I do to harm the current stable situation and destroy the harmony of the Youth League?

On the other hand, they, that old boy Du Yong, all went to Hong Kong to beg for food. They also followed Du Yong's orders and made trouble for me one by one. They checked the accounts and interfered with the construction of the headquarters building and the Golden Building. They made many comments and comments. They also need to discuss with me the specific bank management system to limit the power of me, the chairman. The people below are also ready to take action, killing, robbing, and stealing in my jurisdiction. Some people even went to the warehouse of the North Station to cause trouble, pretending to be the Green Gang from the Japanese side.

Now look at it, Du Yong was frightened by me. Only then did they realize that I, Mr. Wang, was not a sick cat. They were all scared to death and became friendly. What the hell, you still scold me every day for being greedy for money, lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death. The older you get, the less useful you become, and you have spent half your life in vain. What you said is right, I must be dissatisfied. I guess Du Yong has made some tricks to let them deal with me. "

"Then you have to be careful. Don't capsize in the gutter at this time. The Youth League, which finally took advantage of the opportunity to be established, has tied up people like them. If something happens and the Youth League splits, the one who will suffer in the end will be we."

Liu Yitong was a little worried. His head hurt when he thought about Wang Yan's situation. He had to deal with the Japanese, the Kuomintang, and the Red Party. He also had to deal with the troubles in the Youth League, where the interests of foreigners had to be taken care of. , one after another, everything is troublesome. But Wang Yan is still casually eating, drinking and playing with women all day long. Oh, the women are fucking arranged by the Japanese. Under such circumstances, how can he still do research and build things with the people from Datong University all day long? Factory, he was really convinced, he would have died early if he had been there.

"It's the same thing again. When the Japanese don't find a Youth Gang that can command those who defect to the past, they must have a limit to their troubles. Otherwise, they will be buried with me when I die. At this point, we are already invincible. Land. As for Du Yong, what tricks does this old boy have..."

Wang Yan pondered for a moment, took a sip of wine and said, "In this way, tomorrow you can go to them with the accounting office to purchase the headquarters building, the construction of the gold building, and the decoration of both. It will cost a lot of money, and the banking business is developing slowly. The city and the exchange business with other banks were sluggish and could not be launched, so I asked them to increase their capital. I took the lead and asked them to contribute $50,000 in proportion. If they did not contribute, the shares would be diluted in proportion to test their reaction first. Besides, do you have money? You don’t need me to help you, or I can buy some of your shares and let you hold them on your behalf.”

"No, I don't have any money, so it's all in vain." Liu Yitong shook his head, looked up at Wang Yan's face, and asked, "Are you planning to take action?"

"Of course not. It's just an excuse to make them more closely bound to the Youth League. I offered 100,000 yuan before, and they offered 8 million. So this time, if they don't want to be out, or they can start again on their own To allocate shares, if they want to compete with me, I will pay 50,000 yuan, and they will pay 12 million yuan in cash. I don’t believe how much wealth they will have left, and they won’t be able to run away even if they want to. . Then let’s see how they respond. Then, just like I told you in the car, we’ll cut the meat with a blunt knife, and we’ll swallow them all up. I have the advantage, so I don’t believe they can survive. sky."

Du Yong is submissive on the surface, this is certain, Wang Yan knows this very well. Because Du Yong can die, anyone can kill him, but he cannot die in his hands. If he really kills Du Yong, there is no doubt that he will have an enmity with the Kuomintang, which will not be easily settled. Du Yong, who was threatened, naturally knew better. However, there is a limit, and Du Yong knows how to grasp it. Otherwise, if he is pushed to the limit and he really surrenders to the Japanese, in terms of today's value alone, Du Yong's ten lives will not be enough to compensate for the impact it will have on the situation. And if he really defected to the Japanese, the first person to be killed must be Du Yong. If you don't let me be good, then no one can be good to you.

Therefore, Wang Yanxian was in an invincible position. It was just a matter of making more money or less. He was not afraid of anything but the coming of soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. The situation seems chaotic, but the problem is not big and we can still handle it with ease.

"Okay, I'll tell them tomorrow morning." Liu Yitong nodded vigorously: "What if they don't pay? Just like the dilution you mentioned, the extra shares they have will definitely be given to others."

"Since the shares are small, it means that the family background is not strong, the ability is not great, and the sense of presence is not strong. As the saying goes, we will start with these people first. Once we get the easy ones, we can then nibble on the rest. A few stubborn ones, but you have to be careful, some of them must have been bribed by the Japanese, so be careful."

"Don't worry, I understand."

The two clinked glasses and took a sip of wine, and the conversation turned to the trivial matters of catching a house and Liu Yitong's family as a married man. Liu Yitong's daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for him. He was known outside as a housekeeper who was very strict with her husband. Liu Yitong also became a person who was afraid of his wife. In addition to dealing with the worldly affairs, he would eat, drink and gamble, but would not go whoring, every night. He must go home, he is a good man.

They talked in a sporadic way, and with the occasional interruption from Qi Si, they were quite happy with all the laughter...
