Chapter 876: Follow the trend
Yulonmi Tour.
"Sir, you are here." Fu Yue opened the door himself and welcomed Lu Xiyan in.
"Where is the fourth brother?"
"I just arrived. I had a little gathering with my brothers last night. I was very happy." Fu Yue smiled. They were all brothers who had lived a life, and it was not easy to meet each other now.
"Drink a lot?"
"Not much, not much..." Fu Yue smiled embarrassedly. If he hadn't made an appointment with Lu Xiyan today, he might have been drunk last night.
"Wine is a good thing, but you should drink less." Lu Xiyan warned.
"I understand, except for the occasional social engagements, we are always drinking. This is not the New Year. Everyone is happy and lively. They only drank some of them together." Fu Yue explained hurriedly.
"Yes." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Sir," Fu Yue led Lu Xiyan to a small building behind Mixing.
Tan Si heard the footsteps coming downstairs, opened the door and came out, standing at the entrance of the stairs, his eyes full of joy and excitement: "Sir, I finally saw you again."
"Oh, I haven't seen you this year, you are going to develop horizontally!" Lu Xiyan quickly stepped forward, gave Tan Si a warm hug, and teased.
"Haha, I am not as hardworking as my husband, so I am naturally more generous and fat." Tan Si's eyes were red with joy.
"Sir, Fourth Brother, let's go in and talk." Fu Yue reminded him.
"Well, sir, please." Tan Si hurriedly gave up his position.
The three of them entered the house. Fu Yue took out the snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts, and the three of them sat down around a small round table.
"Sir, let me report to you about my work in Hanoi this year?" Tan Si said first.
"Don't worry about reporting. Anyway, you have told me the general situation through Fu Yue. Let's talk about the key points." Lu Xiyan said, "What did Tan Si do? They didn't have telegram communication, so they basically don't need to waste time, and they said it again."
"Okay, listen to sir." Tan Si nodded. If you really want to talk about work, it would be a day and a night. You can't finish it, but can Lu Xiyan stay for so long?
Obviously impossible, at most one hour.
"I don't know which aspect of the sir wants to hear?"
"Have you ever contacted Song Ziliang from Southwest Transportation Company?" They were all from his own people, so Lu Xiyan naturally would not go around and asked directly.
"Sir, this time I came to Hong Kong, in addition to seeing you, I also came here for this Song Ziliang." Tan Si was stunned and then smiled.
"oh?"
"In addition to cooperating with the Military Control Commission to smuggle in China, we are Hua'an Company. Although both companies have a lot of energy, we can't do some businesses, such as tungsten ore. The Military Control Commission has no choice but to do it. Hua'an Company can only take action in small batches, but the quantity is too small. The demand for tungsten ore is very large. Behind the Southwest Transportation Company is the Song family. You know the energy of the Song family. Even the Military Control Commission is much inferior. The Song family's Seven Star Company, the Kong family's Yangzi Company, etc. If we can establish a relationship with the Song family, we will make more money than smuggling the Military Control Commission abroad, and our goods are safer in China." Tan Si explained.
"Well, what you said makes sense."
"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't take this Southwest Transportation Company seriously. After all, we cooperated well with the Military Control Commission. If we rashly cooperated with another company, would it make the Military Control Commission unhappy? By then, both companies will offend us. If they blocked us, the losses would be great." Tan Si analyzed.
"Later, after I found out about the background of the Southwest Transportation Company through people, I realized that Song Ziliang was actually from the Song family, and he was also Mrs. Jiang's younger brother. I also knew that if I wanted to cooperate with the Southwest Transportation Company, it would be impossible to hide it from the Military Control Commission. So, I revealed the news to Dai Yunong through Chen Jie of the Military Control Commission's Kunming Office."
"On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Chen Jie came to Hong Kong and came to see me for this reason." Lu Xiyan said, "Did you tell him that I have to make the decision on this matter?"
"Yes, such a big thing can't be decided, sir, you have to make the decision." Tan Si nodded. He knew how much he was. It was absolutely fine to do specific things, but he lacked vision and judgment in the future development and management of the company.
It’s not that he doesn’t know the striking relationship here, but that it involves politics and the Song family.
"Since Dai Yunong doesn't care about this, you can work with the Song family. Anyway, everyone will get what they want." Lu Xiyan said, "Fourth brother, have you ever met Song Ziliang?"
"No, he handwritten a man named Xia to contact me." Tan Si said, "But you sent me a telegram saying that you wanted to cooperate and wanted to meet Mr. Song in person. They agreed, so they notified me to come to Hong Kong."
"So, in addition to seeing me when you come to Hong Kong, you also have to see Song Ziliang?"
"Yes, I made an appointment to be at this Peninsula Hotel tomorrow at 10:00 tomorrow morning." Tan Sidao.
"Do you know that Song Ziliang secretly negotiated with the Japanese in Hong Kong on behalf of Chongqing?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"I understand, Fu Yue has told me that if this matter is true, do we still have to cooperate with the Song family?" This is also what made Tan Si confused.
"We are just in secret negotiations now. We don't know what to talk about and what steps we have. You will talk about when you meet Song Ziliang tomorrow. We will meet again in Lianxianglou tonight. Fu Yue, please inform Chu Ze for me."
"Okay, sir."
Lu Xiyan knew that Tan Si and the others had a gap with Chu Ze's group. After all, the two groups were separated in the past.
Chu Ze is responsible for the operation, while Tan Si is responsible for the action.
One makes money, the other spends money.
"Fu Yue, you go out first. I have something to talk about with my fourth brother." Lu Xiyan ordered, not that he did not trust Fu Yue, but that the fewer people knew, the better.
"Yes, sir." Fu Yue had no dissatisfaction, stood up and walked out.
"How is that Miss Susu?"
"Through my observation this year, we can basically confirm that she is a Japanese spy, and her level is not low. The Yang Laosan who went to Haifang Port with us is also a Japanese spy." Tan Si whispered.
"What have they done this year?"
"Collection of information about French troops stationed in Annan and other countries, especially for the French Far East Navy. Because of my relationship, she had the opportunity to make friends with many French senior executives in Hanoi. She is now the most powerful public relations in my hands." Tan Sidao.
"This is a double-edged sword that can help us and cut ourselves." Lu Xiyan said slowly, "Do you know all about her activities?"
"I dare not say everything, but I basically know it all. However, she is very alert. If we hadn't doubted her from the beginning, we wouldn't have discovered that her ability was really unquestionable." Tan Si said, "I let her do many things because no one has done better than her."
"Does she know our business with the Military Control Commission?"
"I know, but she only knows that we cooperate with the strong domestic forces, but she doesn't know who it is. The transportation sector is firmly controlled by me." Tan Sidao.
"It seems that I will make a cut with you as soon as possible." Lu Xiyan said.
"Why, sir?"
"You are the general manager of the Hanoi branch of Meng'an Company. Do you do smuggling business with the Military Control Commission? Is this what I instructed or do it privately?" Lu Xiyan said, "If it was instructed by me, it would be equivalent to saying that I have something to do with the Military Control Commission in private. When the Japanese learned about this news, what would you say they would do?"
"Then you will naturally have to ask for trouble for you sir?" Tan Si said.
"So, there must be a cutting between us on the surface, so that everything you do in the future has nothing to do with me, do you understand?" Lu Xiyan said.
"I understand, but when will it start?"
"No hurry, we have to cooperate with others to perform a play." Lu Xiyan said, "At that time, you will have to be a traitor."
"Do you need to communicate with the Military Commission and Mr. Monte?"
"Of course, our relationship cannot be broken, and this drama also requires their cooperation." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"When it is cut, how can the profits of the Hanoi branch be handed over?" Tan Si asked. This is a very practical problem. Once cut, any economic transactions will definitely be cut off. Large amounts of money will definitely be settled in cash, and it will definitely be unrealistic to pass through the bank.
"When you cut, you will transfer a large sum of money for me, which means we will break up peacefully. You can transfer the profits through the Huaan Company in Kunming. The Japanese can't find out if they want to check it." Lu Xiyan thought for a while.
"This is a good idea. Huaan Company also has shares of Mr. Huan, and the Japanese will never think of it." Tan Si smiled.
"You have to show your personal ambition and greed in front of Su Su, so that you can win the trust of the Japanese. You are doing those businesses that I do privately behind my back." Lu Xiyan said, "By the way, when did she know?"
"It should be half a year ago. Before, she just helped me simply handle some daily affairs in the company and the external communication part." Tan Sidao.
"Then start half a year ago, you can make a story. The exact details of how to make it perfect depends on you." Lu Xiyan said.
"Sir, I don't understand. Since we know she is a Japanese spy, why don't we get rid of her directly?"
"Abandon her, you will be exposed. Even if you can do it perfectly, they will doubt it. On the contrary, keeping it under your own eyes and nose is always much better than your opponent hiding in a dark place you can't see?" Lu Xiyan explained, "And you are now a businessman who is smuggled with strategic materials. As long as it does not pose a threat to them, they are too lazy to attack you, because they also know that without you, there are others doing this business. Would they kill you? It's better to keep you in your hands and have a channel to grasp the needs of Chongqing at any time. They even hope to instigate you to help them spy on the information in Chongqing."
"Sir, what should I do if it's as you expected?"
“Go with the flow.”
