Chapter 256: The King of Cotton Yarn

"Old Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't hide some things from you on purpose, they are really..." Tang Jin apologized to Lu Xiyan very sincerely.

"It's okay, Brother Tang, I can understand." Lu Xiyan smiled. He wanted Tang Jin to think that he didn't exist.

Besides, when Tang Jin and Tan Si were just talking to him, he was just a listener, and at most he gave Tan Siyi or two eyes at some point.

Tan Si performed very well today, mainly because he had a lot of information in his hand and gained an asymmetric advantage in his conversation with Tang Jin.

Tang Jin was obviously a little out of standard, and maybe he was not prepared enough.

It is also possible that he is not good at negotiating. I feel that Cao Bin's ability to control his conversations is above Tang Jin, but Tang Jin is the leader of the "Nails" group.

"It's best for Lao Lu to understand. Let's take the military advisor line and take care of it in the future. I'm afraid this concession will not be so easy to mess around." Tang Jin sighed.

"Brother Tang is a senior police officer, a new star in the police industry, with a bright future, what are you worried about?" Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Forget this, I won't say it anymore, I'll explain it to you later. Be careful on the way when you go back and be careful."

"Don't worry, my driving skills will be good." Lu Xiyan nodded.

After the talk, Tan Si left first.

Lu Xiyan and Tang Jin took a short custody for a while, then came out of Rongshun Pavilion, drove their own cars and left.

...

"How about it?"

"When he came, he came by your Consultant Lu's car. As for those who left, I walked away, and my subordinates followed him."

"The other party is definitely not an ordinary person, I'm afraid your subordinates don't have the ability."

"Don't Inspector General Tang trust my men's abilities?" There was a hint of disdain in his voice in the back seat of the carriage.

"Zhao Lijun is too greedy, otherwise we wouldn't need to cooperate with the military advisor. Go back and tell you Mr. Lu that if you want to ask someone for business, it's better to be honest."

The car stopped "crunched".

"I can." The speaker pushed open the back door, got out of the car, quickly entered an alley, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

...

The car was shut down and waited for about three minutes. A black shadow ran over from a nearby path. The figure flashed and the car door was closed gently.

There was almost no vibration.

"It's at least five minutes later than the agreed time. What's wrong? Someone is following you?" Lu Xiyan sat in the driver's seat of the car with a serious expression.

"Well, I was targeted when I came out of Rongshun Pavilion. I was a veteran, but I still dumped it." Tan Si said, "It should be Tang Jin's person."

"Tang Jin sent someone to follow you. It seems that we need to keep a hand in cooperation with him." Lu Xiyan said slowly. Tang Jin is the Military Control Commission, and he always keeps a little wary of the Military Control Commission.

"Sir, is it because the drunkard is not drinking?" Tan Si asked.

"It's hard to say, you show your face. Be careful when you take action next time. Remember to put on makeup when you go out, don't be lucky." Lu Xiyan said.

"clear."

"My sister-in-law and her children cannot be delayed, they must be sent away immediately. The situation of the struggle is becoming more and more complicated. For safety and the needs of the struggle, I will do it for you." Lu Xiyan said.

"Okay, I'll buy a boat ticket in the past two days and send them away." Tan Siyi gritted his teeth. For the safety of his wife and children, and for the sake of his own efforts to do things without any worries, he had to make a decision.

"I'll send you back first..."

"No, sir, you can drive to the front and put me down. It's so late, your car is too conspicuous, it's not good to be seen by someone." Tan Si said.

"Okay, then be careful." Lu Xiyan nodded.

...

Because he had already had a long time ago, he went to have dinner with Tang Jin in the evening. When he got home, Meng Fanxing didn't ask much, but just put him in a bath water.

Soaked in hot water, Lu Xiyan carefully recalled the process of the meeting and negotiations at night, but found no flaws.

Tan Si's went on behalf of the "military advisor", so everything must be based on the "military advisor" style of doing things, so that Tang Jin will not be suspicious.

"Brother Anzi, Brother Anzi, the water is cold..."

"Oh, it's going to be fine soon." If Meng Fanxing hadn't reminded him in time, I'd be afraid he would catch a cold tomorrow, and the pool of hot water would have already been cold.

Dry your body and change into a bathrobe.

"I thought you were asleep in the bathtub. Are you busy with work in the hospital these days?" Meng Fanxing asked with his back against the head of the bed.

"There are many surgery arrangements these days, and I can't even care about the papers. Sometimes I have to socialize at night, which is really a bit overwhelming." Lu Xiyan said.

"Otherwise, some less important surgeries will be left to other doctors for?" Meng Fanxing suggested.

"Some surgeries can be pushed, some are not. Our China is a personal society, and some things cannot be done by one's own nature." Lu Xiyan said, "By the way, when will Haozi meet Meng Yao's parents?"

"If you don't mention this, I will tell you too, Xi Mengyao's father is Xi Hongwei, the king of cotton yarn. Do you know this?"

"I know, my family is very rich."

"Xi Hongwei is in trouble." Meng Fanxing said, "Japan's Mitsui Industrial is preparing to acquire three yarn mills in Shanghai under Xi Hongwei's name."

"Since the Japanese occupied Shanghai, the cotton yarn they produced in China has been dumped in large quantities in China. Our yarn mills cannot match them from labor costs to quality. Many yarn mills have either gone bankrupt or were acquired by the Japanese at low prices. Those who can hold on to this day are powerful factories. Xi Hongwei is known as the king of cotton yarn and has strong financial resources. It is good to be able to hold on to this moment." Lu Xiyan commented.

"These three yarn mills were not dismantled and transported away. In addition, they had a good operation before, so they still held on. However, in order to achieve their goals, the Japanese can do everything, poison, threaten, throw bombs, and even set fire to your warehouse. In the past six months, the three yarn mills of the Xi family have been basically in the semi-stop stage. I heard that this time Xi Hongwei took out a lot of money to import a batch of extremely high-quality cotton from India, intending to use it for the production of the yarn mill. As a result, the freighter that transported the cotton disappeared in the South China Sea, and 5,000 tons of cotton were gone."

"Five thousand tons of cotton?" Lu Xiyan was shocked.

"This is almost all the working capital that Xi Hongwei can afford. If he doesn't sell the shares of the yarn mill, he is afraid that the yarn mill will not be able to continue production, and he himself may go bankrupt immediately." Meng Fanxing said.

"The freighter is missing, it must be the Japanese who caused it?"

"Yes, this news came that Hongwei Company's stock plummeted, which was less than one-tenth of the previous one. If Mitsui Industrial does not accept the acquisition, Hongwei Company will have to file for bankruptcy next." Meng Fanxing said.

"How much debt does Hongwei Company have?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Hongwei Company has been operating well and has not had much debt. I learned about it and it was about three million, which is almost one-tenth of what Hongwei Company's stock plummeted."

"A debt ratio of 10% is very low, but now, if Hongwei company goes bankrupt, it's probably insolvent, right?"

“It’s almost the case.”

"Isn't it difficult to get Haozi to come forward and transfer all the debt relationships of Hongwei Company to Meng'an Company?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Brother Anzi, what do you want to do?"

"To Haozi, my brother-in-law, can help him one by one. Besides, as long as Hongwei Company has no debts, Xi Hongwei will take the initiative. Even if it goes bankrupt, it will not lose everything. Besides, I always feel that Mitsui Industrial has a very big appetite. He wants to swallow Hongwei Company in one bite and want the 5,000 tons of high-quality cotton, why aren't he afraid of suffocating it?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Brother Anzi, is it a bit of a danger for us to do this?"

"This is called timely help. As long as Haozi passes the level of Xi Hongwei and his wife, the rest depends on their own." Lu Xiyan said.

"Then I'll find some time to accompany Xiaohao this weekend?"

"Well, remember to find out the situation clearly. As long as the Chinese who resist Japanese invasion with practical actions, we can help as much as possible." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"It's getting late, go to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow." Meng Fanxing reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

The two have been sleeping in the same bed for several days, but their relationship has not broken through to that point. It is not that there is no love, but that it is because of love that both of them are restrained.

"Brother Anzi..."

“Hululu…”

...

"Sir, morning."

"Good morning." Lu Xiyan went out for a walk. After coming back, he saw Yan Lei watering flowers in the yard. When did this guy fall in love with this move?

"Have you got up, Madam?"

"I'm getting up and I'm helping Xiao He prepare breakfast in the kitchen." Yan Lei put down the shower and said, "Fifth brother sent someone to inform you in the morning and wanted to see you, and report to you again."

"I understand, let him wait in the old place." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"OK."

"Brother Anzi, it's time for breakfast." Meng Fanxing shouted inside.

"I understand, has our dad got up?" As soon as Lu Xiyan finished speaking, he heard a series of coughs full of breath. It was Lao Mengtou.

"Where is Haozi?"

"I went out early in the morning and didn't say where I went. I really can't help it." Meng Fanxing handed the fried bread to Lu Xiyan and said.

"This kid is in good health and has a wild heart. I will greet Tang Jin and ask him to go back to the pharmacist room to go to work." Lu Xiyan hummed.

"That's better to ask him to go to work now." Lao Meng hummed angrily.

"Dad, Xiaohao is young and has not yet determined. When he gets married to Mengyao, he will be safe." Meng Fanxing said for his younger brother.

"Sister is like a mother, don't you take good care of him for me and speak for him?"

"I've finished eating, Meimei, Dad, I'm going to work, you guys eat slowly." Lu Xiyan stood up and said.

...

The car left Fukaisen Road and drove south for a distance. At the intersection of Xi'ansi Road and Ladu Road, there is a newsstand here.

Lu Xiyan would pass by here every day when he went to work and bought a newspaper for the day, usually the Damei Evening News or the Sino-US Daily, and occasionally other ones.

Both newspaper reports are relatively objective.

This is also the place where he met and exchanged information with Guo Hanjie, and it is also their old place.
