Chapter 267: The Missing Cotton

"Fanxing, look at this."

"What, uncle?" Meng Fanxing showed a hint of surprise after reading the content of the telegram, "Willington is in Keelung, Taiwan?"

"Yes, this was sent back three days ago, which means that the Wellington has been in Keelung Port for at least twenty days." Xi Hongwei said.

"It turns out that the Japanese have tampered with each other. Are they not afraid of causing international disputes? They have seized a foreign cargo ship with complete procedures without authorization, and cotton is not a contraband. What is the difference between them doing this and bandits?"

"Their purpose of seizing the Wellington was to not want 5,000 tons of cotton to my hands. As long as I missed the repayment time and my company would go bankrupt and liquidate and auction. By that time, they would not only easily eat my yarn mill, but also get this batch of cotton at a polar price." Xi Hongwei said.

"They are robbing!"

"It's just robbing, but what can it be? We can only let him mercy now, and even Britain, the United States, France and other countries are giving in to it. Japan's naval power is very strong, and no merchant ship sailing in the South China Sea is not afraid of them." Xi Hongwei said heavily.

"How could the Japanese be so clear about the itinerary and route of the Wellington freighter? Will anyone disclose the news?"

"I don't know much. Will the problem lie with the shipping company?"

"Uncle, you must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others. We are all walking tightropes now, so there is no chance of going there."

"You are right to remind me. I usually leave the connection with the shipping company to my assistant. He is familiar with him and understands English. I trust him very much. I have thought of introducing Mengyao to him." Xi Hongwei said.

"What's his name?"

"His name is Zhang Yubo, and he is now the deputy general manager of our company." Xi Hongwei said, "specialized in managing raw material procurement and warehousing."

"Do he know the Ant Moving Plan?"

"I don't know, I didn't even say my wife, how could I tell him? Even the workers involved only knew the truth, but didn't know why." Xi Hongwei said.

"Okay, I understand, uncle, do everything according to the plan. The last batch of equipment will be shipped out the night after tomorrow?" Meng Fanxing asked.

"Yes."

"Uncle, all the workers involved in dismantling the equipment are scattered and evacuated. Their families should arrange to leave Shanghai first, so don't be lucky." Meng Fanxing said, "In the future, our spinning mill will be re-operated, and they will be the backbone forces."

"I understand this." Xi Hongwei nodded, "Fanxing, can I ask, which aspect do you belong to, Chongqing or Yan'an?"

"I am a Chinese." Meng Fanxing obviously cannot answer this question, it is organized and disciplined.

"I understand." Xi Hongwei is also a big shot in the business world. He has never had any contact with anything in the past. He can guess three points without saying some words.

"Does Dr. Lu know?"

"He doesn't know." Meng Fanxing thought for a while and explained, so as not to misunderstand Xi Hongwei, which might cause a series of trouble.

As long as the man and woman fall in love and the parents agree, it will basically be done.

Wedding negotiation stage soon!

Xi Mengyao has only half a year to officially graduate, so she wants to wait until she graduates before getting married, but Xi Hongwei insists on getting married soon.

Even Mrs. Xi supported it.

Meng Fanxing and Lu Xiyan knew the reason for this, but they couldn't be explained. Lao Mengtou said a few words from the perspective of his future daughter-in-law.

It is said that my child has not graduated from college yet, so it is nothing to wait for another half a year.

Of course, Meng Hao also wanted to marry Xi Mengyao home earlier, but he couldn't follow his own ideas and had to consider Xi Mengyao's ideas.

Therefore, the young couple insisted on their opinions and got married after Xi Mengyao graduated.

Young people have their own ideas, and the old people can't be too forced. Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing can't say much, so the wedding date has not been decided.

But before that, an engagement ceremony is needed.

After some discussion, it was decided that three days later, on December 7, the woman, the Xi family, would come forward to hold an engagement ceremony at the New World Hotel.

As for the guests and friends at the banquet, they were mainly old friends from the two families. After the Xi family had an accident, there were probably not many "friends" supporting them except for relatives.

However, in the Meng family, Meng Hao's own colleagues and superiors have a large number of friends. At that time, the scene will never be too ugly.

After the matter was completed, the group returned to the French Concession.

Meng Fanxing and Lao Mengtou started the engagement banquet three days later and became busy. Even if the Xi family was organized, the Xi family's current situation probably wouldn't have the energy to take care of this matter.

In fact, it is also appropriate that the Meng family is responsible for this matter.

In terms of hotels, there is no problem with this. Xi Hongwei has greeted the manager of the New World Hotel and left the largest banquet hall for them.

Although no deposit was paid, with Xi Hongwei's status as a Shanghai beach, no one dared to deceive him in this matter.

In terms of guest selection, on-site arrangements, drinks, bands, etc., all of which have to be compared to the identity and status of the Xi family. It is different from marrying a daughter from a small portal.

Lao Meng looked at the listed items and the money he had to spend, and his heartache was about to suffer asthma.

This time it was not just the coffin board. I was afraid that it would not be enough to sell the old house that I had lived in for decades. So Meng Hao was in trouble and was called over to scold him for nearly an hour.

The most leisurely part of the whole family is Lu Xiyan, so there is no need to worry about this. The relatives and neighbors of the Meng family are not very familiar with each other. Meng Hao's side, that is, the colleagues from the past and the current boss and colleagues, need to send an invitation or something.

There were no other things, and the friends he had in his social circle didn't need to be invited, as they were neither next to Meng Hao.

Besides, he would have helped such trivial things, and it would be better to hide in the study upstairs to read books.

Lu Xiyan guessed correctly. Tang Jin did secretly order a checkpoint on the main roads entering and leaving the French Concession to check for contraband.

This batch of arms is quite a lot, and no matter who intercepts his Hu, they will be transported out. It is not a problem to hide it in the French Concession.

However, he was most afraid of this.

Such a batch of arms is hidden in the French Concession, and I don’t know who or what force it is. The inspector general of the French arresting house is afraid that he can’t sleep.

He led the Political Department and was trusted by the French, and he was important to reveal some information to the French. Otherwise, how could he achieve this position?

Fein had a criminal record, but when this happened, Tang Jin naturally chose to report some information. Director Carl and General Office Tan naturally attached great importance to it and reported it to Bao Daizhi, the French Consul and General Director of Shanghai.

Finally, he secretly ordered the judicial arrest house to thoroughly investigate the case of "Fenn", sealed off the house where Feen lived, and surveillance of Feen.

Tang Jin's move is indeed ruthless. It's so dark that I'll do it openly. In this way, Fein will no longer have freedom, and there will always be people from the police station around him. It will be difficult to get in touch with the Japanese or continue trading.

Tan Si and the others have done something bad this time. If they let Feien go quietly, there is no reason for Tang Jin and the Fa Catching Room to do it so well.

Tang Jin turned from secret to light, but he still had a secret force. Although he pushed himself to the front desk, his identity was a natural cover.

Even if the Japanese hate him, they would not have thought that he was targeting him on purpose. After all, he could not do anything in that position.

Fein can't move, and the difficulty of the Japanese wanting to trade will increase exponentially.

Of course, it will be much more difficult for the Japanese to learn more about what news from Fein. Then, they will inevitably find another person, Fein's partner Andre.

This guy bought a house secretly and obviously wanted to leave Shanghai. The two of them had the same purpose.

After watching Fein, Andre couldn't leave.

Tang Jin really reacted quickly.

The Japanese couldn't escape. Since they "examined the goods", they must want to trade, otherwise so much investment would have been in vain.

Can Yuichi Inoue take this breath?

He was not worried about this batch of arms falling into the hands of the Filipino, because the Filipino would not take the initiative to be an enemy of him, but if it fell into the hands of the anti-Japanese forces, it would be troublesome.

...

"Sir, the Minsk mail ship arrived in Shanghai the morning after tomorrow." Lu Xiyan was clarifying the relationship in his mind over and over again when the phone suddenly rang. He took it out and heard that it was Yan Lei's call.

"I understand, come back." Yan Lei was sent by Lu Xiyan to check the information about the mail ship that "Masha and Anna" mother and daughter were riding.

Because the mother and daughter came by boat from Paris, France, and it happened to be a mail ship.

His teacher, Professor Daniel, often mailed him some medical journals, so every time a French mail ship came, he could receive something. However, he would also mail some Chinese gadgets to Professor Daniel back, as well as articles he wrote.

Of course, this is not a paper, sometimes it is just some ideas and ideas, which are a kind of medical exchange.

Professor Daniel is quite concerned about him as a student and will write a lot of reply letters to him every time, which makes him very grateful.

Therefore, Yan Lei went to inquire about the time when the Minsk mail ship arrived at the port, and no one would suspect it.

He could find out when the Minsk cruise ship arrived in Shanghai. The Japanese, Tang Jin, and Fein must have known it.

So, at that time, these three parties will appear on the dock.

To be honest, he didn't really appreciate the character of Fein. This guy was not a good businessman in the underground black market to repair guns and change guns. However, this man was once an engineer at the Krupp Arsenal. He knew how to repair guns and change guns, so he would definitely build guns.

Even if you can't create it, many people will be much stronger.
