"You are four or five years older than me, and now you are only in your early thirties, but I haven't seen you for a few years." Qian Xiaobao sighed at the man standing at the door.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were very familiar with each other, he would definitely not have recognized that the one who stood in front of him was the famous young master in Harbin, Guan Xiaoye Guan Bicheng.

"Let's talk about it, where have you been in the past few years and what have you done?" Qian Xiaobao said, holding Mr. Guan's hand.

Mr. Guan walked into the room, Qian Xiaobao closed the door, and the two of them sat together on the couch.

"It seems that you are doing well now. You actually went to London to live in such an expensive hotel." Mr. Guan said.

"When did I not have a good time?" Qian Xiaobao said with a smile.

"The War of Resistance Against Japan has been victorious for two years, why don't you go home?" Qian Xiaobao asked curiously.

"I will go back at the end of four or five years, but I will come back half a year later." Mr. Guan agreed with a dim expression.

"Since you have already returned, why do you have to come back?" Qian Xiaobao was even more surprised.

"When Germany attacked France, I ran to Portugal and then moved to Britain. At that time, Britain was recruiting sailors in large numbers. A large number of people were needed on merchant ships between the United States and Britain. Not only me, but also many Chinese people in Britain participated. At that time, we thought that Britain and China were allies, and fighting against the Germans was to attack the Japanese. The recruitment conditions were very simple. I worked on the merchant ship of a shipping company in Liverpool for more than four years." Guan Xiaoye replied.

"You don't want to die!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"Yes, many merchant ships were sunk by German submarines at that time, and many people died. There were also many Chinese people here. I was responsible for the maintenance of diesel engines and pipelines under the deck. If the merchant ship was hit by torpedoes, it would be difficult to run away." Mr. Guan replied.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Mr. Guan’s weathered face. No wonder he is so old.

"Did you see your parents after returning to China in four or five years?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I saw it, they even talked to me about you. I heard that my parents had met you before leaving Harbin. Thank you for persuading my parents to leave Harbin. It's all good for them to live in Tianjin now." Mr. Guan replied.

In 1944, Guan Xiaoye's father, Director Guan of the Finance Bureau of the Pseudo-Manchukuo Binjiang Province, wanted to retreat. He went to Qian Xiaobao's house to inquire about the real situation of the war. Qian Xiaobao vaguely told him that the earlier he left, the better.

As a result, Director Guan resigned from his position as director of the fat and oily director at the end of 1944 and returned to Tianjin.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many of the royal relatives lived in Tianjin because it was safe to have a concession like Shanghai.

"So you have a woman in the UK, right?" Qian Xiaobao asked suddenly.

Mr. Guan looked at Qian Xiaobao in surprise, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so fast.

"How did you know?" Guan Xiaoye asked.

"Does this still need to be thought about? I have returned to China but left my parents and ran back to the UK. What else can I do if it is not for women?" Qian Xiaobao replied.

Mr. Guan stared at Qian Xiaobao for a long time and finally nodded and said, "Yes, I returned to the UK for Jenny. When I was a crew member, I met her in a bar in Liverpool. Before the war ended, we lived together and had children. But in October 1945, when I went out to shop, I was suddenly arrested by the police, and then escorted to the ocean ship to China. They didn't even give me the chance to say goodbye to Jenny. Jenny thought I was missing, so she called the police at the police station, but no one told her the truth. We were heroes during the war, but when the war ended, we immediately became thorns in the eyes of the British!"

"These foreign devils are like this. They can only talk about interests and not relationships with them. So this time you return to the UK to bring your wife and children back to China?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

When Guan Xiaobao heard Qian Xiaobao's question, he was so arrogant that he couldn't answer.

Qian Xiaobao immediately woke up. Guan Xiaoye’s parents would not agree to his son marry a foreign woman. They were royal relatives of the Qing Dynasty. They could have yellow belts and yellow jackets, but yellow-haired daughter-in-law and yellow-haired grandson would definitely not!

If you don’t know what happened, Mr. Guan just ran back to the UK secretly without telling it. This kid is used to being willful and can definitely do such things.

"What are you going to do now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I wanted to make some money first and then go to France to complete my studies, but I dare not show up now, so I can only sneak it up. If the British police find out, they will send me away immediately. This time, Jenny reads the newspaper advertisement and suggests that I try it, but I didn't expect to meet you." Mr. Guan replied.

"I'm going to Germany to buy a batch of equipment. If you help me do this, I'll leave you some money to complete your studies." Qian Xiaobao said.

"What equipment should I buy?" Guan Xiaoye asked.

"I'm going to Germany soon after purchasing a batch of Virgin production equipment, and you can be a translator for me." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Guan Xiaoye knows English and French now. There should be no problem in going to Germany to give Qian Xiaobao as a translator.

"Is China going to start producing Viron now? Didn't I start fighting when I left China? Where can I build a factory?" Guan Xiaoye asked.

When he heard Mr. Guan ask this, even Qian Xiaobao felt discouraged.

"It's not a Chinese factory, it's a Japanese factory. I'm working for a Japanese company now. But China will be peaceful in the future, and I will definitely go back to China to build a large factory!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"It seems that you don't understand the current situation in Europe. You can't buy equipment when you go to Germany. During the war, Germany's factories were basically destroyed. Moreover, the Allies are still demolishing German factories to de-industrialize Germany. Now the lives of European people are not easy. If you don't have food, you will go hungry and you will be frozen in winter. Many people will starve to death." Guan Xiaoye said.

"Then what do you think I should do? You can't go back empty-handed, right?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"When Japanese and Chinese people mention Europe, they think that German machinery and equipment are the best. In fact, Britain and France also have large chemical companies. The British Bunemen and France's Elf should be able to sell equipment for producing Virgin. You can go and consult in the next few days." said Guan Xiaoye.

"Okay, as my assistant and translator, you can accompany me!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"I'll learn about the company situation first and then let's go!" said Mr. Guan.

Three days later, Qian Xiaobao, accompanied by Guan Xiaoye, went to Bunemen, which is the headquarters of the British Imperial Chemical Industry Corporation.

After several days of research by Mr. Guan, President Takashima not only became interested in the polyester invented by Bu Neimen, but also became more interested in the Liuliu pesticide they invented!
