Chapter 51 Money is your best friend
“Any questions?
"Secretary Hong, I can pay more money, but please don't joke around." Yong Jianqiu's cheeks trembled as he said in surprise.
This batch of goods is of vital importance to the border area.
He would rather spend a lot of money to get it.
"Chen Changjie wants to chew your bones into pieces, how can he give you anything good?"
Hong Zhiyou smiled indifferently and lit a cigarette.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, he continued:
“The guns are all inferior and the ammunition is fake.
"Especially that batch of drugs, which were all highly toxic."
It was Wu Jingzhong's idea that the drug was poisonous.
And didn't tell Hong Zhi.
Hong Zhiyou was not familiar with Ding Defeng, the director of the Army Hospital, but he was familiar with Mrs. Ding.
In the afternoon, he took time to go to the British Club to play cards.
Mrs. Ding laughed at him, saying that the people from the Military Control Commission had no conscience. They said nice things but they hadn't been with them for most of the month.
Women are always talking at the same time. When they talk about men being bad, they bring up the matter of Ding Defeng poisoning them.
I have to say, Old Wu is really cruel and ruthless.
“I’ll tell you this.
"We succeeded, and Stationmaster Wu made a great contribution by making money.
"You guys succeeded, but Stationmaster Wu still made money and made a contribution.
"Mr. Yong, I know you are an old hand, but never underestimate the methods of the people in Jie Goose Lane."
Hong Zhiyou glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"What a Wu Jingzhong! His methods are so cruel and insane!" Yong Jianqiu was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats.
If this batch of medicines is to be transported to the border area, the lives of the soldiers will all be in his hands.
"Secretary Hong.
"You are not one of us, why did you leak such important information?" Yong Jianqiu was in awe but also very puzzled.
"It's simple.
“I am just a businessman, and I can only go long-term if I protect the interests of my partners.
“Besides, who knows who would use medicine?
"If I manage to take down an important person from the border region, you will skin me alive and tear out my tendons."
Hong Zhi smiled shrewdly.
"I kind of understand why they all call you Jin Hai... I understand.
“To make money, do what makes money.
"Follow the flow and profit in small matters, and don't be confused in big matters!
“When I was in Beiyang, I was just like you. I had no so-called enemies, only friendly merchants and friends.
"Secretary Hong, I believe we can become friends."
Yong Jianqiu's eyes were full of admiration, as if he saw the versatile self he was back then.
“Don’t believe it, it’s happening now.
“You have money.
“And I like money.”
“No one would reject a rich friend.”
Hong Zhiyou leaned back in his chair with a relaxed look, blinked comfortably and said:
"Mr. Yong, if you want to show more friendship, how about an extra 20%?
"One tenth is mine, and one tenth belongs to Stationmaster Wu for this batch of goods.
"Otherwise I won't be able to report back."
Yong Jianqiu adjusted his glasses and made a bold decision:
"Okay, add another 20%.
“Everyone says I’ve fallen on hard times, but they don’t know that my oldest daughter owns a mine in San Francisco.
"Not short of money!"
"What suggestions do you have for Wu Jingzhong's evil plan?" He paused and asked again.
"I say, can you believe it?" Hong Zhiyou leaned forward and flicked the ash off his cigarette.
"I have money." Yong Jianqiu nodded and smiled.
"Easy to say.
"You continue to implement the original plan. Wu Jingzhong is happy to see you transport the supplies.
“While they’re attracting attention, get the real stuff out there.
"You designed it yourself, and this is called making the fake look real."
Hong Zhi felt a bit of a headache and made a random move.
“Well, not much different from what I thought.
"It's worth a thousand dollars."
Yong Jianqiu took out his wallet, counted out a handful of US dollars and handed them to Hong Zhiyou.
"Boss Yong is really generous. It's a pleasure to work with you."
Hong Zhiyou was afraid that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, so he got up and left.
"Hong Zhiyou, stop right there."
When they reached the door, Yong Manzhu called him in a rude manner.
"Miss Third, is there anything I can do for you?" Hong Zhiyou asked with an elegant smile.
"You said you looked down on me last time.
"Are you dissatisfied with my figure?" Yong Manzhu said aggressively like a little lion.
"Yes!" Hong Zhi nodded.
"You...my sister said that when I grow up I will become like her." Yong Manzhu argued.
"What's she like that?"
"It's the big...breasts and big butts that you men like!"
Yong Manzhu said with a red face.
“Maybe, but that only concerns men.
"Age? It doesn't matter."
Hong Zhiyou gave her a science lesson.
"Man?" Yong Manzhu was puzzled.
"Hey, one day, you'll understand."
Hong Zhiyou gave a rascally laugh and reached out to pinch her butt.
"Asshole." Yong Manzhu jumped back in fright.
"If you figure it out, you can always come to me. "I'm happy to help!"
Hong Zhiyou winked at her frivolously and quickly got into the car and left.
Return to the station.
Several cars were parked in the compound, and Lu Qiaoshan was counting the supplies.
"Old Lu, you're busy." Hong Zhiyou greeted him in a good mood with his hands in his pockets.
"Brother, you...are too cocky." Lu Qiaoshan's face darkened, he pointed at him and laughed dryly in displeasure.
“Ouch, my bad.
"My good brother Shan, Director Lu, what are you busy with?" Hong Zhiyou quickly changed the subject with a smile.
"Commander Chen sent it.
"The stationmaster has appointed me to take over. I am fully responsible for capturing the Yong family's red ticket this time." Lu Qiaoshan smiled and looked proud.
Okay, okay, it’s full authority again, right?
Damn, I’ll die if I don’t show off for a day, right?
"Brother Shan, this is a huge achievement. If you can perform meritorious service tonight, your position as deputy station chief will be secure.
“Don’t forget to promote your brothers when the time comes.
"The stationmaster is looking for me. I'm leaving now."
Hong Zhiyou made a few corny flattering remarks and quickly walked to the webmaster's office.
"Teacher, it's settled.
“Yong Jianqiu made an extra 10% profit.
"The money for arms and medicine totals thirty-eight thousand dollars, in cash, which I have already given to my sister-in-law."
Hong Ji You walked up to him and whispered.
"Great."
Wu Jingzhong slapped his thigh excitedly, holding his elbow and being as kind as a father:
"Zhiyou, have you arranged a time for the transaction?"
“Appointment.
"Nine o'clock tonight, Mawang Town." Hong Zhiyou replied.
"Very good!
"You follow Ma Kui to seize the transaction tickets tonight, and I will take credit for you." Wu Jingzhong said happily.
"Stationmaster, please spare me this deadly job.
"If some bullet is blind, I will still be loyal to you forever."
Hong Zhiyou's face immediately fell, and he almost cried in front of Wu Jingzhong.
Wu Jingzhong stared at him, thought for a moment and said:
"That's right, you are my precious child, you can't take this risk.
"Then let Ma Kui and Qi Dafu go."
In terms of achievements, he is already a major general.
In terms of military rank, Dai Li was no more than a major general.
This is the peak of my life.
If Hong Zhiyou were to die, where would we find another Shancai boy who could get a few stacks of US dollars at any time?
"Thank you, webmaster." Hong Zhiyou breathed a sigh of relief.
……
8pm, conference room.
Cough!
When Hong Zhiyi opened the door, the whole room was filled with smoke, which was so choking that it hurt his eyes.
Wu Jingzhong sat at the top.
The first person on the left hand is Special Commissioner Wang Puchen.
On the right is Luqiao Mountain.
Ma Kui, Yu Zecheng and several other department heads were there.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Boss Dai's special envoy, Wang Puchen. This time he is here to investigate the case of Yong Jianqiu reselling arms." Wu Jingzhong introduced with a smile.
Everyone greeted each other one by one.
“You’re welcome. I don’t deserve to be the host.
"In terms of seniority, Station Master Wu, you are my senior. Boss Dai asked me to come here to learn from you."
Wang Puchen had a smile on his face and spoke in a humble tone.
Hong Zhiduo looked at him a few more times.
Wang Puchen was very thin, with yellow cheeks and slightly swollen single eyelids. Perhaps he had tuberculosis, and his eyes looked eerie.
He was smoking, coughing and spitting all the time.
Never stopped for a moment.
It seemed as if I would die immediately without that cigarette.
Hong Zhiyou felt that it was simply unscientific.
Because this guy actually lived until 06, at the age of 104.
That’s so outrageous.
Complaints aside, Hong Zhiyou would never dare to underestimate this man in the slightest.
Dai Li’s primary school classmate.
Mao Renfeng's classmate and close confidant at Provincial No. 1 Middle School.
Later, Ma Hansan and Qiao Jiacaike both fell into his hands, and the intelligence system in Peiping was turned upside down.
Although Wang Puchen's qualifications are not as good as Wu Jingzhong's, his background is definitely strong enough, otherwise he would not have been sent to Peiping by Dai Li to serve as the Chief Inspector of the Military Control Commission in North China, specifically to trap Ma Hansan.
"Cough cough!"
Wu Jingzhong glanced at Hong Zhiyou.
Hong Zhi understood and opened the window.
I poured tea for all the big guys and went out of my way to get a mask for the webmaster.
Then, without wasting a second, he left the meeting room swiftly.
Such a secret would bring disaster if you heard one more word.
He had finally gotten away, so he wouldn't get involved.
