Without the unstable factor of the Japanese, Wu Ming, who had a big stone in his heart, had a very pleasant meeting with Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong, the two bigwigs of Shanghai.

Sure enough, as Du Yuesheng expected, Wu Ming agreed to his proposal to select 160 people from the Green Gang to form a "Tsing Yi Team" and send them to Wu Ming's army for training, and even suggested that more people should be selected and sent for training, so as to select the best among the best; although the personnel trained in this way cannot reach the height of the officers and men of the special service company, even if they face the provocation of the Japanese marines after training, they still have the strength to fight.

Seeing that Wu Ming was so happy, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng were not too concerned about themselves, and happily handed over the Citibank cash check with a total amount of 820,000 US dollars to Wu Ming.

Du Yuesheng said apologetically: "I can't collect so many oceans for a while, and now the price of silver is falling day by day, last year it was still 1 to 2.5, and now it has broken three in a blink of an eye, we don't dare to store too many silver dollars and the dollar is pegged to gold, plus the dollar has the strong national strength of the United States as a backing, and the possibility of depreciation is very small, I want you to accept it is more assured." ”

Wu Ming was worried about how to transfer the 2.5 million yuan of the ocean safely, and he was very happy to see Du Yuesheng so considerate: "Mr. Du is really anxious, and he deserves the title of 'Living Meng's taste, I am very satisfied with this arrangement." As long as we uphold an open and honest attitude, I believe that there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future

Wu Ming didn't look at the numbers on the check, nor did he verify the anti-counterfeiting mark and serial number of Citibank on the check, so he asked Sun Chengyuan to put away the cash check. What if it's fake? ”

Wu Ming explained loudly: "With the place where I am standing now, and with the reputation of Mr. Huang and Mr. Du in Shanghai for many years, there is no need to do that at all. ”

Huang Jinrong touched his chin and laughed: "Good boy, sure enough, I am not mistaken, you have your courage, I Huang someone will make you a friend about the cost of guns and ammunition loss in your department, we want to wait for us to send it to your department for training!" After the personnel arrived in western Zhejiang, they were sent together. ”

"Okay"

Wu Ming waved his hand disappreciatively: "Anyway, there isn't much money, you can just look at it when the time comes, right, are there any unemployed Caucasian people on the beach?" The poor one, I want to hire some for me to live on."

"Caucasians?"

Du Yuesheng thought for a while and said, "If it's just an ordinary person, it's natural to have as many as you want, but if you have a skill, it's not so easy." ”

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and blurted out: "Jews? ”

"Right"

Du Yuesheng introduced: "Now there is a large-scale anti-Semitism in Germany, and only China does not prohibit Jews from entering the country. Many skilled Jews apply to immigrate to China and then find a way to go to other countries...... As far as I know, most of these people choose to go to the United States, or to Australia. ”

Of course, there were also some Jews who chose to stay, and those who had the money to buy property to rent out to their compatriots, chose to be landlords or second landlords, and those who did not have money looked for jobs, so I asked hundreds of Jews to help me with my work, and I could allocate some of them to you at any time. If you're not interested in Jews, I have some White Russians to choose from"

Wu Ming nodded happily: "Jews are not bad, of course, if it is better with a few White Russians, it will look more like the same thing...... Mr. Huang, Mr. Du, I really need twenty or thirty years old now, and I look like the kind of white man who is very knowledgeable and sincere......"

"Slow"

Huang Jinrong frowned slightly, interrupting Wu Ming's words: "Brother Wu, please forgive me for saying that the physical strength and spirit of white people in their forties have begun to decline...... Why don't you think about the young white man who is in the prime of life and has a quick grasp of language and new knowledge? ”

Wu Ming didn't answer this question directly, but smiled and asked, "So, these older whites are having a bad time in Shanghai?" ”

"That's true"

Du Yuesheng nodded and said, "White people of this age are limited by language and physical strength, and it is difficult to find a suitable job, and life is relatively difficult now. Generally speaking, the best of them work as housekeepers and servants for wealthier families, and are more likely to do odd jobs on construction sites, or repair furniture and electrical appliances, and generally do not require a high salary, so that they can only maintain the minimum standard of living for themselves and their families. But I'm still curious, how are you going to use them? ”

"I'm ashamed to say ......"

Wu Ming said frankly: "My people have explored a large area of fluorite mines in western Zhejiang, but if the discovery is announced by Chinese himself, it will be difficult to cause a sensation, but if we hire an expert group from Europe and the United States to personally excavate and announce it, it will naturally be in the spotlight, and the rich people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will definitely flock to it and ask for a large amount of money to invest in the mining company...... It's a lucrative business, do you think I can be more cautious? ”

"I see"

Huang Jinrong bowed slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Du Yuesheng, and they both saw a look of shock in the other party's eyes - this Wu Ming has been verified to lead the troops in a good way, but I didn't expect him to be so good at the economy. This kind of operation method of collecting money and the companies under the Qinggang have not used it in Shanghai, but I didn't expect Wu Ming to follow the same example, so after such an operation, no matter whether there is this fluorite mine in the end, and no matter how large the reserves of fluorite ore are, with the greed of those rich businessmen and landlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they will definitely take the bait, and Wu Ming will definitely make a lot of money at that time.

"There are no problems"

Du Yuesheng came back to his senses and immediately called Wan Molin on the side: "Send someone to the public concession to find the Caucasian who meets Brother Wu's requirements, the faster the better......" Suddenly remembering something, Du Yuesheng asked Wu Ming: "Most of the Jews drag their families, what should their families do?" ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "It's better for their families to stay in Shanghai for the time being...... After the work is completed, depending on their wishes, they can stay on my territory in western Zhejiang, or they can come back to Shanghai if they want to, and as a reward, I will properly arrange their work and life. ”

Du Yuesheng was deeply moved by Wu Ming's generosity, and Yu Crisp asked Wan Molin to deal with the matter personally, but in less than half a day, Wan Molin came back to report that the matter had been done, and found a total of twenty-one white Jews and eight white Russians who met the requirements, most of them were blonde and blue-eyed, dignified, and looked very elegant and knowledgeable after wearing glasses.

Wu Ming was very happy, and said to Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong before leaving the Huang Mansion:

"The deep friendship between Mr. Huang and Mr. Du, Wu remembers it in his heart, and there will be rewards in the future. However, there is one thing I would like to trouble Mr. Du, strictly speaking, it is immoral for Jews to use Shanghai, China as a springboard to transfer to other countries, and I suggest that the authorities should first establish a detailed file before allowing them to emigrate and enter the country, and I am in urgent need of all kinds of talents in western Zhejiang, and I hope to bring in some Jews with expertise to help me study some things, among which talents in weapons, chemistry, physics, machinery, medicine, and biotechnology are preferred. ”

Du Yuesheng waved his hand indifferently: "Since Brother Wu has a request in this regard, of course I have to try my best to satisfy Brother Wu, don't worry, I have a good relationship with Cheng Tianfang, the ambassador to Germany, and He Fengshan, the first secretary of the Legation in Austria, just send a telegram across the ocean, even if it doesn't work, as long as the Jews set foot on the beach, it won't be difficult for me, I will let the people below pay attention to this is a trivial matter, it's not a big deal."

Wu Ming held Du Yuesheng's hand tightly, and was so moved that he couldn't speak for a long time.

On the way back to the public concession after leaving Huxi, Wu Ming instructed him to go to Citibank first, on the one hand, to transfer the cash cheque to his private account, and on the other hand, to ask Mr. Banville, a foreign business of Citibank, to help him do a big thing. By the time I got back to the Miyako Hotel, it was already night.

"Big brother, why are you looking for so many foreigners to come back?"

As soon as he saw Wu Ming's face, Steve, who was already waiting in the room, took the initiative to ask: "I have asked about these white people one by one, although they all have the experience of reading, and most of them can speak English, but their academic qualifications are generally not high, and they cannot be compared with the European and American medical experts and other technical talents we hired before, so there is no need to spend money in vain, right?" ”

Wu Ming didn't seem to hear Steve's question, and asked with a smile, "Everyone is settled, right?" ”

Steve said: "All of them have been arranged to stay in the guest rooms on other floors, and according to the words you asked them to bring back, they have bought a full set of suits and trousers, as well as brand new leather shoes, and they look refreshed and refreshed." ”

"That's good"

Wu Ming nodded, and then whispered to Steve about the purpose of these people, Stevie's eyes widened wider and wider, and he covered his mouth and said, "Oh my God, it's a little big, aren't you afraid of accidents when you do this?" ”

Wu Ming glanced at him: "What are you afraid of?" That fluorite mine already exists, although the reserves have a certain exaggerated component, but if it is really mined out and it is easy to make 18 million, what we need now is to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time to prepare for the war of resistance, which is better than letting the money of those rich and unkind guys be cheap for nothing, right? ”

Steve was relieved: "Okay, I'll arrange it, but before we go back, we have to let them memorize the information we gave me well, and it won't be good if they show their feet." ”

Wu Ming pouted: "What are you afraid of?" It's okay, don't worry about it, even if it's exposed? We can deduce that we don't know what to say, and now that there are liars rampant in this world, it is normal for us to run into a few."

Steve shook his head and laughed, speechless at Wu Ming's cheekiness.
