Chapter 870: The Four Seas Association
"Brother Chu, will they meet again in the near future?"
"I don't know, the white cat has limited knowledge. I can only roughly speculate on some things, but I don't know anything else." Chu Ze shook his head and said.
Chongqing must be highly secretive in such a secret matter, and it is impossible for the outside world to know any news. Gu Xiaobai can participate in the protection work on the outside and understand some situations. This is already very impressive.
At least he is trusted at the Hong Kong Military Control Commission.
As a result, Lu Xiyan felt a little sorry for He Xiaofen and his daughter. He brought the two mothers and daughters here, thinking that this time he would find an opportunity to reunite the family of three.
But now it seems that this is a very dangerous behavior.
Once discovered, Gu Xiaobai will be in danger of his life. Fortunately, he has not mentioned this to He Xiaofen, nor has he contacted Gu Xiaobai.
"Brother Chu, is it safe to contact you and Gu Xiaobai?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"I often go to Peninsula Hotel for dinner, and I have many opportunities to meet. He is now the deputy security manager of Peninsula Hotel. As long as he doesn't talk alone, there is no big problem." Chu Ze said.
Gu Xiaobai must have made a lot of friends, met many noble people, and was good at socializing. This is his specialty, which made him feel like a fish in the Peninsula Hotel and the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, and he was promoted and trusted soon.
"Then please tell him that his wife and daughter have arrived in Hong Kong, but they cannot be arranged to meet now, so as not to encounter an accident. Please understand." Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay, I get it."
"You must remind him to be careful and not spy on his own initiative, so as not to be suspected."
"clear."
"Come on, have a drink for our reunion!" Lu Xiyan raised his glass and said.
"Dry!"
"Brother Chu, you are not young anymore, it's time to start a family, and there are no one or two confidantes in Hong Kong?" After finishing the work matter, he naturally talked about some relaxed topics in life.
"My brother-in-law is not far from his knowledge. Besides, I don't have the intention now." Chu Ze smiled bitterly.
"You can't do this. As a man, you are a very successful person. You have not married or had children, or you have a confidante. This will make people doubt it." Lu Xiyan said.
"At worst, I can tell the public that my function is not good, so it's okay."
"If you really say that, aren't you afraid that Brother Tan and others will laugh at you?" Lu Xiyan took a bite of peanut and said with a smile.
"Just laugh, what's the big deal? I don't have the energy now, and the company's affairs make me so busy that I can't breathe." Chu Ze said.
"Why didn't Fu Yue come today?"
"He has a batch of goods to go ashore, and it's just tonight. If you can't come, you must stare at it yourself." Chu Ze explained, "He asked me to explain it to you."
"It's important to do things. I will stay in Hong Kong for a few days and have a chance to meet again." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"How is Hong Sihai?"
"Hong Sihai's Sihai Association has developed very well. There are currently more than 300 core personnel, specializing in maritime smuggling. There are four halls under our command, each with division of labor. Fu Yue and I both sent people to them, each with one hall, Hong Sihai's own control, and the remaining hall is in charge of Hong Sihai's confidante."
"Oh, let's listen to it in detail?" Lu Xiyan nodded slightly. Fu Yue actually reported the situation of the Sihaihui, but the details are not something you can tell clearly in a few words in the telegram.
"Qinglong Hall is the armed force of the Sihai Society, with the largest number, with more than 100 people, Hong Sihai personally controlled it. Fu Yue and I arranged people in to help them train, but they did not take power. Baihu Hall is controlled by me, mainly responsible for the connection between smuggling goods and the offline connection. Xuanwu Hall is controlled by Fu Yue, mainly for intelligence information. There are more than 50 core personnel, most of them are natives in Hong Kong. They are two independent systems with our intelligence team in Hong Kong. As for Zhuque Hall, it is the Sihai Society's open business, including dance halls, theaters, teahouses, and protection fees collected, etc., which are all under the control of Hong Sihai's woman Hong Gu."
"I didn't expect that in just one year, Hong Sihai actually made such a big name with your support." Lu Xiyan was still a little surprised.
Although some business is in the gray-black area, Hong Sihai is such a poor family. It is already very good to be rude to good people. What else can he be demanded?
"Speaking of this, sir, you are the real president of the Sihai Association. Hong Sihai doesn't listen to anyone, and he will definitely obey you." Chu Ze said.
Lu Xiyan believed in this. With Hong Sihai's loyalty and righteousness, even if he wanted to take Sihai away, he would not have any words.
However, Lu Xiyan would not do this.
"No need to mention this, and don't mention it in front of Hong Sihai." Lu Xiyan reminded.
"I understand." Chu Ze nodded. Although Hong Sihai was unparalleled in loyalty, his subordinates might not think so. If they talk too much, it is inevitable that someone will have strange intentions.
After dinner.
"Sir, I arranged a car to take you back." Chu Ze said.
"No problem?"
"Don't worry, I asked someone else to rent the car. The driver didn't know anything except obeying the instructions." Chu Ze shook his head.
"Okay." Lu Xiyan nodded. Although this is in Hong Kong, he still has to be careful. After all, he did not keep it confidential to the outside world, and the Japanese side knew about it.
...
Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Military Office.
Suzuki Zhara, the military officer stationed in Hong Kong, is actually a intelligence leader, mainly responsible for some shameful activities in Japan's underground in Hong Kong.
Of course, this is Hong Kong and the British territory. The Japanese are not so easy to do anything, but they are quite powerful.
Basically, we can now stand in a three-legged position with the intelligence agencies sent by the UK to Hong Kong and Chongqing.
"Sir, Shanghai Mei agency urgently sent a telephone call!"
"Mei Agency?" Suzuki Zheer frowned slightly. Mei Agency was the head of the agency and Shiaki Aki. He was fully supporting the formation of a new government by Wang. He was closely related to the Expeditionary Army Headquarters and was in the same group as Takeo Imai, and insisted on peace talks with Chongqing.
It can be said that the two sides have different political opinions and there are quite a lot of conflicts with each other.
"say what?"
"The telegram said that Lu Xiyan, the Chinese Concession in the French Concession in Shanghai, went to Hong Kong to celebrate the festival. Please pay attention to his whereabouts and inform him at any time." The adjutant opened the telegram and reported it.
"A little Hua Dong is worthy of such a fuss. When I call back, I say I know and will do it." Suzuki Zheer waved his hand and said impatiently. He is more concerned about the news of the peace talks with Chongqing. Song Ziliang has returned to Chongqing and will return soon. He has called Takeo Imai from Nanjing. The negotiations have become substantial. If the negotiations can be completed, it will be a great achievement and it will be no problem to make a fortune from now on.
"Sir, do you want to send someone..."
"Arrange two people at will and go and check them out. If you have nothing to do, come back."
"Hayi!"
...
"I'm back, why are you smelling alcohol?" Meng Fanxing covered his nose and said with a slightly disgusted expression.
"My friends from Hong Kong University are so enthusiastic that they have to treat me to dinner. You don't have to drink alcohol at this meal, so I just drank two drinks. So I came back after dinner." Lu Xiyan explained with a smile.
"What are you doing at home today?"
"Uncle Gui told me about the situation of the branch for a day. Generally speaking, Hong Kong has now established itself and has developed steadily. Now its daily turnover is almost catching up with Shanghai." Meng Fanxing said with joy.
"Oh, it's not bad, where's the profit?"
"Gross profit is about 40%. If I pay taxes, rent, labor and miscellaneous expenses, I can still have a profit margin of 20%. "Meng Fanxing said, "It's nearly three percentage points more than Shanghai."
"How is the cooperation with Anji Hospital?"
"There is no intermediate link in Anji Hospital. Although the gross profit is a little less, the profit is still five percentage points higher than the direct operation of our pharmacy."
"It seems that Hong Kong is doing well, and Uncle Gui's management skills are still amazing." Lu Xiyan said.
"Where is Uncle Gui, Mengyao." Meng Fanxing said.
"Mengyao, isn't it?"
"Uncle Gui told me that he is the general manager of the Hong Kong branch on the surface. In fact, Meng Yao is the one who is in charge of the business." Meng Fanxing said, "Don't look at Meng Yao's management of a large Hong Kong branch is in order. This year, we opened seven more stores in Hong Kong, three other large hospitals, and five hospitals have drug procurement contracts under negotiation."
"Awesome, amazing, you really can't behave like a person. When Mengyao was my assistant, why didn't I find that she had such a talent for business?" Lu Xiyan couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"I want Mengyao to be the general manager of the Hong Kong branch. Uncle Gui is old and can assist her as her deputy. What do you think?"
"You know Mengyao's identity. Is it appropriate to do this?" Lu Xiyan did not object to Xi Mengyao's seat in this position, but the key was to consider Mengyao's safety.
"You can ask Mengyao to change her name. Anyway, she uses a pseudonym in Hong Kong and obtains a legal identity. Who can prove that she is Xi Mengyao?"
"But her relationship with Haozi?"
"So what? Mengyao is missing. Could Xiao Hao have to die alone in his old age?"
"Where is Xiao Ping'an?"
"Subsiddha."
Lu Xiyan was amused and crying. Meng Fanxing's powerful logical ability made him feel at a disadvantage. If you think about it carefully, everyone who can prove Xi Mengyao's identity has gone to the United States.
Can the Japanese still go far away to the United States to tie Xi Hongwei back to prove that this is still his daughter?
As long as she forges a legal identity for "Mengyao" and she will no longer admit her past identity in front of others, who can prove that she is Xi Mengyao?
Even if the Japanese know that she is Xi Mengyao, what can they do? Besides, after Xi Mengyao gave birth, her figure and temperament changed a lot. Her original small face has now become much rounder.
At first glance, I really can't recognize the pure and lively Xi Mengyao from the past.
"We will discuss this matter again, okay?"
"You say first, do you agree or not?" Meng Fanxing asked relentlessly.
"Okay, even if I agree, Mengyao's idea, if you ask someone to change his name, this will not be able to be exchanged for a while." Lu Xiyan said.
