"Mao Zhengjie, fifty-three years old, from Baoding, Hebei."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at him: "Tell me about it."
Mao Zhengjie was wearing a long gown that had been washed white, and there was actually a gray and dirty pigtail on the back of his head that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time.
He opened his mouth and said in a voice like a drake: "Sir, my ancestor was a flag bearer with a yellow flag. I remember that back then, a certain Yuan was so rebellious and forced the emperor to abdicate. My father, alone, angrily rebuked the rebels and even said that the traitor Yuan had no place to be ashamed of. . When the Republic of China was established, the government originally wanted to hire my father as Minister of Industry, but my father was determined to protect the Qing Dynasty and, as a loyal minister through the ages, flatly rejected the government's request."
"What official position did your father hold in the Qing court?"
"Second-grade imperial guard with sword!"
Meng Shaoyuan flipped through his file and saw it written on it:
"Mao Zhengjie, my ancestor was originally a wrapper for a certain Baylor family in the Qing Dynasty... After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he had no fixed place and lived by deception and abduction all day long..."
A liar and a braggart.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled instead: "From now on, I will give you a small official position, three meals a day, and I will cover all the accommodation. In addition, I will give you another fifty yuan salary every month."
Mao Zhengjie was startled, then overjoyed: "Sir, when you use me, you are using the right person. I think back then..."
"It's done, it's done." Meng Shaoyuan said quickly: "Go out and wash up, and I'll have someone change you into new clothes. You've been wearing these clothes for more than ten years, right? Next one."
The next person who came in was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and a suit. He was polite and polite. As soon as he came in, he introduced himself in English:
"My name is Lu Zihang, a native of Shanghai. I graduated from the Forrester School of Business in the United States, which is a famous university in the United States..."
It was really English, but there were a lot of grammatical errors.
This is Forrester Business School, and I don’t know which American pheasant university it is.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, such pheasant universities have emerged one after another, and some are even specially designed for Chinese people.
As long as you pay a sum of money, you will be awarded a certificate, which attracts so-called overseas students who have no intention of studying abroad and only want to be coated with gold so that they can return home and deceive the Chinese people.
Lu Zihang was one of them as soon as he heard it.
Meng Shaoyuan did not expose him: "I heard that you have great experience in how to deal with Japan?"
"Exactly, exactly!" Lu Zihang's English was not good enough, so he switched to Chinese and said: "It is so easy to defeat Japan, but it is a pity that the government is unwilling to reuse talents like me."
"Come, tell me."
Lu Zihang cleared his throat: "Japan is a small country with few resources and a population far smaller than that of China. I have a plan. We can choose more people who dare to die and take a boat from Quanzhou, Fujian, carrying weapons, explosives, and fishing nets. Traveling day and night, go to Japan, imitate the Japanese pirates' rebellion, treat others in their own way, and invade the Japanese mainland. Japan's elite are all in China, and the country must be empty... In this way... maybe we can attack the Japanese pirates directly Imperial Capital, capture the Emperor of Japan alive..."
Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi looked at each other in confusion after hearing this "high talk".
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask: "I can understand weapons and explosives, but what are you bringing fishing nets for?"
Lu Zihang smiled slightly: "The Japanese ship is strong. If our ship is discovered, we can cast the fishing net in the water and entangle the Japanese warship turbine. The Japanese ship is big and will be unable to move. Our ship is small and we can move freely..."
Wu Jingyi was about to scold the nonsense, but Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I'm not saying your method is good, your suggestions seem like farts, but you are really a good person."
Lu Zihang was embarrassed and confused.
Talking about yourself seems like farting, but why do you praise yourself?
"Lu Zihang." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have discovered a treasure: "I want to establish a new department, and I have decided to appoint you as the director of the department. The salary and benefits will be favorable!"
ah?
Director?
Lu Zihang wondered if he was in a dream.
He did go to the United States to study, but unfortunately he achieved nothing. He bought a diploma and returned to China. At first, he was able to deceive some people. However, as the true identity of these so-called "abroad students" gradually became known in China, fewer and fewer people believed in him.
I never thought that here, I would actually get a position as a director?
Although I don’t know where this place is.
"District Chief Meng, what are you doing?"
After interviewing several people one after another, Wu Jingyi finally asked: "You asked me to find these people before. I thought you had any new plans, but you want to set up a new department?"
"That's right!"
Meng Shaoyuan was very high-spirited: "I really want to set up a new department... the strategic deception department!"
"What? Strategic deception department?" Wu Jingyi had never heard of it.
Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "Of course, this is what we call it internally, and externally... the Strategic Action Department!"
Strategic Operations Office!
What a classy name!
But, this strategy... What are the specific responsibilities of the Deception Department?
"Liar, you must implement groupization, standardization, and corporateization in order to become bigger and stronger!" Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be excited: "For example, Mao Zhengjie, although he is a liar, his ancestors did work as a wrapper for the Baylor family. So I am very familiar with that set. It can be used.
That Lu Zihang keeps talking about one theory after another. We think he is talking nonsense, but his remarks may not have no market, and many people will take his words seriously. Then, you can make adjustments and continuously pass on wrong information to the Japanese to achieve strategic deception! "
Wu Jingyi still didn't fully understand.
Gathering so many scammers into a group?
Then isn’t Master Meng the leader of the scammers?
big liar?
The dignified leader of the army is also the leader of liars?
Master Meng has many nicknames.
Many of them are unsightly.
For example, the most shameless person in the history of the Republic of China...for example, the most shameless person in the history of the Republic of China...
The establishment of the Strategic Deception Department means that Master Meng has decided to make deception large-scale and artistic. From then on, he is no longer alone on the road of deception.
Not only that, since it is called a "strategic deception office", this kind of deception will rise to the strategic level. A large amount of false information will continuously flow out of this department, making it difficult for the Japanese to distinguish between true and false.
Never underestimate the power of a group of liars!
Meng Shaoyuan also has a more "ambitious" goal:
Concentrate all the scammers in the country to the strategic deception department!
Unfortunately, achieving this goal does not happen overnight.
"The first task after the establishment of this department."
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly lowered his voice: "We have to fool Mr. Dai. I will save as much as I can this time."
"Are you crazy?"
Wu Jingyi was surprised: "You don't want your head anymore?"
Meng Shaoyuan said with a stern eyebrow:
"Compared with money, my head is not that important. I am famous in Shanghai for wanting money over my life!"
