After finishing the meeting, dealing with the people who came to talk to him, and talking to a few leaders for a while, Wang Yan followed Iger to his office for a chat.
As soon as he entered the office, Iger rushed to pour wine and gave Wang Yan a glass. He took a big sip and continued to pour himself wine. Then he sat down on the sofa and said, "Wang, I think you That’s the crow’s mouth. When the Japanese occupied Shanghai two years ago, you said that the Japanese were ambitious and needed to prepare early. For this reason, they developed instant noodles and opened their own beverage factory. The goods were sold to Europe. When Germany attacked Poland At that time, you said they were ambitious. When they attacked the Maginot Line last month, you actually didn't think much of France, right?"
Wang Yan crossed his legs and shook the red wine glass with a smile: "There is no such thing as being optimistic or not. I just think about the worst in everything and prepare for the worst. Egg, I am not a crow's mouth, but a foresight. But you are right, the Maginot Line is indeed impenetrable and was not breached by the Germans."
"Oh, damn it, Wang, you are laughing at me. Damn the Germans, they actually went around it." Iger still couldn't believe it. He stared, "They, actually, went around it?"
"I have heard the argument in the past two days that Germany is a mechanized force with high mobility. The failure of the Maginot Line this time has clearly demonstrated that future battles will no longer be positional warfare, but mobile warfare. Guerrilla warfare. On this point, I suggest you read the books of the Red Party. They are very experienced in this set of tactics. It’s just that their weapons and equipment cannot be compared with Germany. Speaking of which, you France are still human beings. Where is the pioneer of communism, even though it was extinguished."
"Of course, France is always so tolerant. As for what you said about reading, forget about reading. I have no interest in those things. I don't care about positional warfare or mobile warfare. Wang, I am more concerned about our business. what to do?"
Iger doesn't care about that much, he cares more about his wealth.
Wang Yan let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. Prices are skyrocketing in Europe now, resources are in short supply, and the ships delivering goods from Europe to here are not easy to move. Just keep the mentality as I said last time. I hope the war will end soon, and be your capitalist by then. You have shares in my instant noodle factory and beverage factory, and the sales to Europe are not cut off. Mitchell even sent a message to me via phone, saying that he could send goods there. .
In addition, I will also take some of the profits from doing business with those Americans and give it to you. There is always no shortage of money to spend, but not as much as I made before. Speaking of which, the Americans are the most powerful. They are the biggest winners in this war. "
He also had to give money. After all, he was from the French Concession. He had to take care of the things he needed to do. He would get something if he gave up. Otherwise, if these foreign devils feel uncomfortable one day, it will be enough to deal with them. He didn't pay like this before, that's because he had a serious business before, and he helped these foreign devils sell it. Although there is still business now, due to the impact of the war, the quantity has dropped sharply, and the price itself in Europe is already very high. It is not very profitable to ship it across the ocean to Shanghai. Only key supplies such as medicines, copper, iron, and steel can make some profit.
But these supplies are in short supply everywhere, and it’s not that easy to get. And when these people don’t have quick money, they are always unbalanced. He deals in penicillin here and makes a lot of money, so he just thinks of it as a waste of money and disaster relief, with less trouble.
Iger raised his glass and looked at Wang Yan with emotion: "Wang, you will always be my good friend."
"certainly."
The two drank wine and chatted for a while. The phone on the desk rang. Iger went over to answer it and said a few words. He waved the phone to Wang Yan angrily: "It's for you."
"Look, I really have no time to spare. All the calls calling for me have been made to you." Wang Yan sighed helplessly, stood up, picked up the phone and listened. After a while, he said, "I understand" and hung up. Telephone.
"There's trouble again, Egg, please stay alone, I have to go."
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
"Who else could be so troublesome besides the Japanese? Iwai Eiichi and Fujita Yoshimasa came to me to drink tea in Hongkou."
"I guess they must want to know the information about the Public Directorate from you."
"Who knows." Wang Yan waved his hand helplessly, "Let's go. I'll have a drink with you when I have time."
After that, he left Egger's office and did not continue to stay at the prison. Instead, he went out and got in the car and went straight to Iwai Mansion. Keito took him to the Japanese-style teahouse that Iwai Eiichi had built for himself.
Speaking of which, ever since he came to this world, he has been chatting with people, either eating and drinking, or drinking tea in a quiet room. Other times, I basically never said anything serious. Of course, mainly at other times, there are always many people around him, and there is no condition for private conversations. So he found someone to talk to about business, which was to eat. When others talk to him about business, it depends on the situation. For example, now, if Iwai Eiichi wants to drink tea, he just has to drink tea.
In the tea room, Eiichi Iwai and Yoshimasa Fujita were drinking tea while watching the singing and dancing of Japanese geishas. Seeing Wang Yan come in, the Japanese geishas who sang and danced, under the signal of Fujita Yoshimasa, pulled their wooden clogs and left.
After Wang Yan came over and sat down to call someone, Iwai Eiichi poured tea for Wang Yan and asked with a smile: "Wang Sang, I heard that all the detectives and above in the French Concession patrol house have gone to the central patrol house for a meeting? I Are you bothering me by asking someone to call you?"
"What did Mr. Iwai say? Why would you disturb me by calling me?" Wang Yan thanked Eiichi Iwai, took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, the meeting this morning didn't say anything. It was just to calm people's hearts. Now Germany is defeated After conquering France and supporting the Vichy government, the French concession in China will be under the control of the Vichy government. China is thousands of miles away from France. In Chinese terms, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, and anyone in Europe can be beaten to death. , and it has nothing to do with the French people in the Public Directorate."
Eiichi Iwai laughed loudly: "You are right. According to the information we have, they were just a little panicked when they retreated from Dunkirk. At that time, they already understood that France could not stop the German troops. Front. Now that they have surrendered to the German puppet government, it just shows that they are a group of villains who can act according to the prevailing circumstances."
Now Eiichi Iwai talks about Germany's puppet government very naturally, and even laughs at the French foreigners in the French Concession's Public Administration Bureau. But if it is said that Wang Zhaoming's government is Japan's puppet government, Iwai Eiichi promises to be the first to jump out and criticize them. Because that is China-Japan friendship, ***'s "China's orthodox National Government", it's such a double standard.
"Is human nature like this? Speaking of which, isn't it the same for Wang?" Wang Yan nodded in agreement with a smile, sarcastically speaking to himself.
"Hey, how can Wang Sang be like those French people? You are a hero who knows the current affairs. In this world, the most indispensable thing is smart people. After all, there are only a few who can understand the current affairs and know how to adapt. Wang Sang, you have great wisdom. "
Wang Yan waved his hands repeatedly and said he didn't dare. He laughed twice along with Eiichi Iwai and Yoshimasa Fujita. He looked at Yoshimasa Fujita and asked: "Isn't General Fujita very busy on weekdays? Why do you have time to come to Iwai today? Would you like tea, sir?"
Fujita Yoshimasa put down his tea cup: "You have to take a rest occasionally, and I also have something to do with Mr. Iwai, so I would like to drink tea by the way. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I called you over and let's talk together."
Wang Yan looked at the expressions of these two little devils and gave them more tea: "General Fujita, how is the investigation of Minglou? Since you had dinner with me last time, I have kept a distance from him. Last time he When he asked me to have tea, I didn't give him a good look and walked away in the middle, just because I was afraid that I might accidentally get in his way and be dragged into the water."
"Wang Sang, you don't have to worry about this." Iwai Eiichi laughed, "The matter with Ming Sang has long been over. Your alienation has made Ming Sang very troubled. As a business representative in Shanghai, you don't communicate with him. , it is difficult for him to start his work. A few days ago, Mingsang complained to me and wanted me to make peace and explain this misunderstanding clearly."
Fujita Yoshimasa nodded and said: "Mr. Iwai is right, Wang Sang, I have told you before that we are suspicious of everyone. After all, the assassination of Section Chief Nantian is not a trivial matter. But the mole hidden inside this It's too deep and still hasn't been found. But I can tell you that there is no problem with Minglou. You can rest assured about this. You must communicate well later. Economic matters are major matters and the economy cannot be affected just because of small things. Wang Sang, you are too careful."
"Hey..." Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, "I can't help it. Only by being careful can you sail a ten thousand year ship. I can survive today because of this caution."
"You, you are good at everything, but sometimes you are too cautious, too careful." Hide Iwai looked helpless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But in fact, what he was most satisfied with was Wang Yan's caution. This is good. If Wang Yan was not careful, he would have died long ago. It's not just Wang Yan, everyone on the beach is more cautious. Those who are careless and careless are either already dead or on the way to death.
"By the way, Wang Sang, speaking of Minglou, I have something to ask you." Fujita Yoshimasa looked into Wang Yan's eyes, "We learned that there is a servant in Minglou's family who is Mingcheng. Adoptive mother. But for some reason, she suddenly left a letter and disappeared recently. The letter said that Mingcheng still did not forgive her. She was uncomfortable staying in Ming's house, so it was better to go somewhere where they could not see each other. Ming Lou doesn’t know where she is, but he said that this servant often went to talk to your servant before, do you know about this?”
"I have heard about this matter from my people before, and I also asked the servant at home to ask. Maybe the servant from the Ming family is more curious about me and always inquires about my affairs. I don't either I thought he was sent by Minglou, or he wanted to get some information from my servant, or he wanted to use servant diplomacy to deepen the contact. After that, I ignored it. As for what you said, If the Ming family servant suddenly disappears, then I don’t know.”
Wang Yan's eyes were filled with confusion. He thought about it for a while before he spoke, and he did so in a clear manner. However, he saw the suspicion in Fujita Yoshimasa's eyes, and he obviously didn't believe what he said.
When looking at others with suspicious eyes, no matter what you say, you will still be suspicious. This is the case with Fujita Yoshimasa now. Obviously, the excuse he got from Minglou was not that simple, but he dumped the matter on Wang Yan's head. So in this case, no matter what Wang Yan said, Fujita Yoshimasa was suspicious.
Moreover, Wang Yan had a criminal record. His former captain could have survived after being dug out by him, but he still died. Everyone in Japan knew about this matter. Wang Yan deliberately killed people. This is a very simple matter of putting yourself in someone else's shoes. If it were them, they would have made the same choice as Wang Yan. But because there was no need to investigate, he raised it high and lowered it gently.
There is also the fact that when Yoko Minamida was alive, she installed a bug in Wang Yan's home to monitor Wang Yan. Although Wang Yan did not have a seizure, it is understood that Wang Yan's eyes were killing people at that time.
So to sum up, Wang Yan is very disgusted with others eavesdropping, monitoring, and investigating his situation. After all, it is something that no one can bear, let alone a person like Wang Yan who controls huge energy.
Wang Yan knew very well what they were thinking, so he was also very particular in his answers. Although he said that he had cut off the relationship, he also said that he knew the situation of this Ming family servant. The answer Fujita Yoshimasa wanted to get from him was not whether the Ming family servant was killed by him, but whether he knew it or not. Fujita Yoshimasa already believed innately that he knew that it was him who did it.
But Fujita Yoshimasa would not doubt that Wang Yan did it on purpose, because even if everyone in the Ming family was tied up, they would not be qualified as opponents in Wang Yan's eyes, let alone an unknown servant of the Ming family? With Wang Yan's status and his knowledge of current affairs, for such a small character with ulterior motives, he was too lazy to know more about the situation and directly sent someone to kill him.
Because what if something goes wrong during the trial? On the face of it, Wang Yan didn't care about those things. He knew that they were superfluous. So he really doesn't know, doesn't know.
This is also the main reason why Minglou wants Wang Yan to take the blame, and it is fitting that this blame should be placed on Wang Yan's head. Because Wang Yan is an outsider and doesn't know anything. Let alone know whether this servant of the Ming family was sent by Minglou or the Japanese.
Isn't Wang Yan clear about Minglou's intention? Of course he knows. Because without his cooperation, it would be impossible to justify it. After all, this is not like the original plot. The poisonous bee thing happened and Mingcheng took Nantian Yoko out to die.
Everyone was a member of the Red Party, so he didn’t say much. If it hadn't been like this, if he hadn't been used for this kind of thing, within three days, the entire Ming family would have had to feed fish. Minglou felt that Zhizhu was in his grasp. Did he feel like he had a handle on him? Who is Minglou?
Fujita Yoshimasa didn't know much about it. He got what he wanted, but even if it was confirmed that the lone wolf was killed by Wang Yan, he could not tell Wang Yan directly. After all, this is a disgraceful thing that can be done but not talked about. Moreover, Wang Yan's status was unusual. Don't say that Wang Yan didn't know the situation. Even if he did, there would be nothing he could do.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Wang Yan, who was frowning and puzzled across from him, and said: "Wang Sang, don't think too much. The reason why I know about the servant of the Ming family is that he was a member of the Special High School and the Seventy-sixth Class some time ago. Everyone at No. 1 has been investigated, and Minglou has a very high level, so we naturally know more about his situation. I can assure you that we have definitely not sent anyone to follow you. "
Wang Yan nodded with a smile and refilled the tea for him: "What did General Fujita say? Even if you send people to follow me, it is for my protection. I understand this. As long as you don't follow me Like the former Section Chief Nantian, he sent people to arrest my servant’s son, insisted that he was a red party, forced my servant to submit, filled the house with listening devices, and arranged for people to monitor next door to my house. This is not treating friends, but treat the imprisoned lamb.”
Iwai Eiichi smiled and said: "Wang Sang, we all know this, but it was only that one time. In the end, it was Minami Yoko who was not thoughtful and too radical. Of course, it was also at that time that you were still with our Empire of Japan. She is relatively distant, and maybe Minami Yoko can’t help it.”
"Of course, Mr. Iwai, I understand. I also believe in the kindness of the Empire of Japan to its friends, and I believe in the kindness of you two to me. Now we sit together drinking tea, talking and laughing, isn't it beautiful? I used to be too Be too careful. If I had made my choice earlier, I am afraid my achievements would have been higher than what I am now."
"Hahaha, it's never too late. Come, come, have some tea." Iwai Eiichi laughed and looked at Fujita Yoshimasa: "It will be noon in a while, Fujita-kun, Wang Sang, let's eat together Lunch. We haven’t had a good conversation together for a long time, so let’s have a good chat today.”
Fujita Yoshimasa had nothing to say, and Wang Yan would not refuse. The three of them chatted enthusiastically.
Why the heat? Because Wang Yan made a statement.
The defeat of France and the establishment of a puppet government made Wang Yan lose hope in the public administration. Although I will still work in the French Concession in the future, I will also pay more attention to the Japanese side.
Of course, although he expressed his stance, he was not sure, he was just relieved. Otherwise, if the French find out later, he will still be in trouble.
No one is more concerned about Wang Yan's situation than Minglou. After Wang Yan had lunch, Minglou made an appointment with Wang Yan for tea in the afternoon. Wang Yan scolded him a few words, and then they parted ways unhappily.
This is a normal reaction. After all, it was Minglou who ordered Wang Yan from the Japanese. Such a small commotion will reassure the Japanese and Minglou as well.
At this time, the murder of Minami Yoko came to a complete end.
But Minglou's life was not so easy, because as soon as the doubts on his body were removed, even greater doubts would fall on him.
Because, the death knell has sounded...
