After reading the long telegram sent by Lu Xiyan from Shanghai, Lao Li rubbed his temples and felt that the connected heart was a little like he wanted to jump out.

"Old Zhang, what do you think of this telegram from the judge?"

"To be honest, I really don't know. I came back from drinking foreign ink. This thinking is different from ours. His ideas are always a little bit imaginative and even unrestrained." Zhang Guanyi smiled.

Too much trouble is also a kind of trouble.

"Hey, if you use such a person well, it will have a huge effect on our career. He can only use several, or even dozens of them," said Lao Li.

"Then do you judge whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's a good thing, but if this factory is opened in Shanghai and it's related to medical treatment, the Japanese army would probably not let it go." Old Li said.

"Old Li, if you want to survive behind enemy lines, it is impossible not to deal with the Japanese. The judge's job is special, so it will be the same if anyone is in his position." Zhang Guanyi said.

"I know, I'm just worried that he will bear some stigma and criticism from some people who don't understand in the future." Lao Li said.

"This is a problem, but as long as the judge does not help the Japanese harm our own compatriots and keep this bottom line, it should not have much impact." Zhang Guanyi put down the needlework in his hand and said.

"Well... Lao Zhang, why did you sew my clothes too?"

"Your eyes are not good, I'll just sew it for you. Why do you think I'm not good at sewing it, who can see it when you wear it?" Zhang Guanyi said with a smile while sewing it.

"I can't tell you. The content of the judge's telegram is limited to you. I know. I'm going to go to Chongqing to report this matter to Vice Chairman Zhou in person. Please keep a close eye on me in Hong Kong. Someone may make trouble in Chongqing recently." Old Li said.

"I know, don't worry, you will be notified immediately if there is any news." Zhang Guan nodded.

...

"The radio speech that Koewe Fumima was originally scheduled to be on the 11th was postponed on the grounds of illness."

"How do you know such a top-secret news?" Lu Xiyan asked in surprise. After receiving the message of "Stingy Fish"'s appointment, he immediately found an opportunity to go.

"I heard from Eiichi Iwai, this is not a secret." Fang Ye of the Kasuyu said, "The Guard has always been in good health. Such an important radio speech is usually prepared for a long time in advance, and there are a lot of articles here."

"What do you think is wrong?" Lu Xiyan asked. He gradually understood the political situation in Japan after returning to China, but he still didn't go deeper. After all, he didn't come into contact with many people familiar with this aspect.

"The Japanese cabinet has a lot of conflicts with the military headquarters. The cabinet hopes to end the war as soon as possible, manage its current income and prepare for a war with the Soviet Union. The military headquarters hopes to completely defeat China and use its military advantages to force China to surrender. Although the purpose is consistent, one has a slower proposition and the other has a hurry, and there is no unified proposition at all, and even the internal opinions of the military headquarters are not unified." Fang Ye said.

"Komato Fumimo may not be able to control the military headquarters' wild horse. After the Japanese army occupied Wuhan, they were still actively reorganizing their troops and preparing for war. The Kosuke Cabinet attempted to induce surrender to Chongqing, the side has gone bankrupt." Lu Xiyan said.

"The situation is unclear now. Brother Judge, you and I can only do our best." Fang Ye said solemnly.

"I know, Brother Fang is also very careful."

...

Get off work and go home.

"Today, Uncle Xi told me that Sato has already offered 8 million." Before going to bed, Meng Fanxing said to Lu Xi.

"Eight million, not much, what did Uncle Xi say?"

"In addition to the land and the fixed construction assets on it, Hongwei Company has only one empty shell left. Although it is a little loss of 8 million, it is better than nothing." Meng Fanxing said.

"Then let's cut the mess quickly." Lu Xiyan nodded and said, "Are our ship transporting seed cotton raw materials back?"

"The shipping company replied that the propeller has been repaired and will start from Kaohsiung to return to Shanghai in the near future." Meng Fanxing said.

"How much is this ship of cotton now?"

"It cost more than five million yuan when it was acquired, and the freight cost was about one million yuan. If you consider the various costs, it looks like nearly seven million yuan."

"So, Uncle Xi used this batch of cotton to mortgage us, and he lost two million?" Lu Xiyan said in surprise.

"It's a loss, but if this batch of seed cotton is gone, the insurance company will only provide the cost of the purchased seed cotton, which is about five million." Meng Fanxing said.

Xi Hongwei lost two million, but if they had not lent him five million, they would have lost more than two million, and even the Hongwei company would have to be involved.

Now he is losing money, but the risks have been passed on to Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing.

This batch of seed cotton was shipped to Shanghai at the original price of 5 million yuan. Now if you sell it directly, you can sell it for 8 million yuan, or even higher.

"That Sato didn't know that Uncle Xi mortgaged the seed cotton to us, right?"

"We didn't say it, and Uncle Xi didn't say it either, but Xi Mengyao and Meng Hao were engaged, which already explained the problem." Meng Fanxing said.

"It must be speculated outside that you borrowed money to help the Xi family because of the marriage, right?"

"This is a perfect misunderstanding. At least, no one would have thought that Xi Hongwei would mortgage us the cotton he hadn't obtained yet." Meng Fanxing said, "Sato would never have thought that if he knew, he would never want to acquire Uncle Xi's company and the yarn mill."

"What are you waiting for?"

"No hurry, it's not enough to reach Uncle Xi's psychological price. The more anxious the Japanese are now, the more stable we must keep it." Meng Fanxing said.

"What is the psychological price of Uncle Xi?"

"At least one thousand two million." Meng Fanxing said.

"I'm afraid this will exceed the Japanese's psychological endurance." Lu Xiyan said.

"I estimate that the final transaction price will be around 10 million. If it is lower than this number, Uncle Xi would rather throw the sponge mill into his own hands than sell it."

Although the land and factory buildings are not valuable, they are all real estate. They are not valuable now and may not be worthless in the future. The Xi family has not gone bankrupt and whether to sell them or not will have little impact.

...

"Fenn, can you explain, what's going on?"

Seeing the empty safe, Andre finally couldn't help it. He brought Fein over and asked furiously.

When Fein saw the empty safe, he certainly knew what was going on. The drawings inside were obviously taken away by Tan Si, and he still told him the password.

Since knowing Andre's purpose, although Fein still has a little affection for him, his intimate trust in the past has no longer existed.

"How do I know that I have been with you since last night to today. Besides, don't you know the password of my safe?"

"Fenn, I know that the things in your safe are only worth me. Why are the banknotes and silver dollars inside there but the drawings are gone?" Andrey asked.

"I don't know, when I was brought by your people, the drawings were still inside." Fein said, "What happened after I left? Ask me, who will I go?"

"Do you still remember these drawings?"

"Remember some." Fein's eyes flashed.

"If I asked you to draw now, I can draw it?" Andrei asked.

"Andre, these drawings are gone, and you will have no good ending when you do things for the Japanese now." Fein persuaded and tried to pull Andre back from the astray.

"Fenn, if you sell these drawings to the Japanese, we can get a lot of money. You don't have a check worth 100,000 US dollars in your hand, it's just a deposit, why don't you understand?"

"I only know that these drawings are not worth the money at all. They are just lying to you, especially the woman named Liu Nina. She has long been bribed by the Japanese and is a Japanese spy." Fein said loudly.

"I know that Lyunina is not a simple woman, but as long as she can bring us wealth, we will not take her to the United States anyway, right?" Andre retorted.

"You've been doing these drawings from the beginning, right?"

"No, I value your talent in this area. If we can have an arsenal one day, we will definitely make a lot of money."

"So, you mean it all?"

"Of course not. Don't you know the relationship between us for so many years?" Andrei said.

"I am a person who is not good at socializing, but it does not mean that I can be deceived or even fooled all the time. Andrei, I am very grateful for your care for me over the years. I can also give you this check of 100,000 US dollars. As compensation for your care for me over the years, I ask you to stop and not get involved with Liu Nina and the Japanese."

"Fenn, you are too naive. What qualifications do you have to teach me how to do it? If it weren't for me over the years, you would have died in prison long ago!" Andre showed a hideous face, "I saved your life, I gave everything you have. You are not qualified to say such things to me."

"..." Fein was stunned. He had never seen Andre like this before. He was completely different.

"Fenn, can you draw the drawings?"

"Yes, but I have nothing, how can I draw it?" Fein said.

"What do you need?"

"I have drawing tools and blank drawings at home, but if the drawings are gone, I will have them in my hands and need to buy them."

"What do you need? I asked Ivan to buy it. How many days do you need to draw it?"

"So many drawings and still need to be calculated, it's not enough in just two or three months..."

"No, this is absolutely not possible. You only have one week at most, within one week, you must draw it for me." Andre said sternly.

"I can't do it for a week." Fein said bluntly.

"Half a month, half a month is OK?" Andrei thought for a moment and doubled the time.

"I'm going to find Martha."

"Marsha, I'll help you find it. I can also issue a search notice. It's always much better than you wandering around the streets alone." Andrey said.

"I'm going back to get some books and tools..."

"Tell Ivan and just let him go."

“Do Ivan speak German?”

"Then let Ivan accompany Miss Anna, the German that Miss Anna always knows?" Andrei said.
