Chapter 159: Winning over the Nobles to Join
Late night, Shanghai Stock Exchange, safe house.
After waiting for more than two hours, Chen Yang finally waited for Song Jiayu to arrive: "You left a message to find me, did something happen?"
Song Jiayu took a deep breath and nodded, "Sir, Shen Shuyi is coming to Shanghai..."
"The headquarters sent a message saying that Nan Tian Yunzi intends to arrange for Shen Shuyi to join the Shanghai Special High Section. The headquarters asked if we can open a channel to provide backup support for Shen Shuyi."
"No, absolutely not." Chen Yang refused decisively.
"Go back to the top. If you do this, not only will Shen Shuyi be easily exposed, but we will also be implicated."
"Since you have decided to be a pawn crossing the river, you cannot turn back."
Song Jiayu nodded and said, "Sir, I understand. I will report your opinion to the headquarters."
"Is it necessary to use emergency contact information for this matter?" Chen Yang was speechless.
Song Jiayu said seriously: "Sir, you don't know yet, this is a secret order from headquarters."
"As long as it involves Shen Shuyi's actions, the level will be raised to the highest level."
"That is to say, wherever Shen Shuyi goes, all the departments of the Military Control Commission will put aside all their work and provide him with all conveniences."
"As long as he is involved in any mission, the confidentiality level will be immediately raised."
"I heard that he is coming to Shanghai, and now all the team members in Shanghai are in a state of strict preparation."
“All operations are cancelled.”
"This is too exaggerated, how can this be possible?" Chen Yang became anxious when he heard it.
Although Shen Shuyi's action is indeed of great importance, it will take more than one or two days to produce results.
It takes the Kwantung Army several months to prepare for its march north. It is a waste of time and they can’t even do their job at the Shanghai Station.
"All the members of the Shanghai Station did nothing to support Shen Shuyi. Isn't this nonsense?"
"Report to the headquarters and suggest arranging an independent team to provide backup support for Shen Shuyi, but do not involve the entire Shanghai Station."
"By the way, how is Ishii Hideo doing?"
Song Jiayu shook her head: "That guy is really a dead duck, his mouth is so hard."
"Wan Tianmu and Zhao Lijun have tried every trick the Military Control Commission has, but they still can't pry him open."
Chen Yang patted his forehead and said, "I'm afraid this person is not as easy to deal with as I thought."
"How about this, to avoid more trouble at night, give Wan Tianmu and the others three more days. If they still can't get anything out of him within three days, stop asking and send him to see Amaterasu."
"Understood...."
Time passes slowly.
In mid-July, after Chen Yang sold all his supplies, he finally raised the second sum of 500,000 pounds, or 5 million oceans.
Watching such a large sum of money being transferred into the account of the British agent, Mr. Bachmann, Chen Yang felt a little heartbroken for no reason.
The funds are used to purchase land and build factory buildings.
George had already spent more than half of the $5 million on customizing various instruments.
In order to ensure that this pharmaceutical factory can make huge profits in the future and will not attract the greedy eyes of others.
During this period, George has been using his identity as a member of the Louis family to deal with the British.
And it has achieved results, attracting several powerful English nobles to participate.
However, not all nobles are rich.
Many of those people are just empty names, but their identities are still somewhat useful and can save you a lot of trouble.
Therefore, after discussing with George, Chen Yang sold and gave away part of the shares in order to attract a group of so-called nobles to join.
French Concession, George's garden villa.
"Chen, are you free tomorrow? Those British guys want to meet you." After dinner, George poured Chen Yang a glass of red wine and proposed the plan for a party.
"Tomorrow? I've reserved the time for Hailey. Ask her if she's willing."
"No," Haley pouted and said, "Chen Yang hasn't been with me for a long time. I've asked Bob for a day off."
"I'm going out with Chen Yang tomorrow,"
"You're about to get engaged, and you still remember to go out and play." George frowned and said, "Forget about going out and play. Tomorrow you will come with me to meet those British nobles."
“These few people are crucial.”
Haley frowned and said, "George, when I heard about your pharmaceutical factory, I was wondering, why don't you find agents who are easy to control?"
"You know, it costs a lot of money to attract a group of nobles."
George laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Oh, you little girl have already started planning for Chen before you even become the head of the family."
"Why haven't I seen you save money for me before?"
However, joking aside, George looked at Chen Yang and gave his reason.
"Haley, you've grown up now, and you should know some things. The business we're doing now is not one or two million pounds, but a big business worth six million pounds."
"It may very well affect the future development of our entire family. We can't care too much about it at this time."
“You have to remember that the purpose of giving is to gain greater rewards.”
"These noble families have been in England for at least two hundred years. Although their glory has faded, their reputation remains."
"Besides, since you are a noble, you naturally have to pay attention to your reputation."
"Especially for a family as old as our Louis family, reputation is more important than profit."
"Because our greatest value is not how much money we have, but our reputation. It can be said that reputation is our greatest capital."
"I can tell you this: for a true noble, reputation is status, and status is reputation."
"So, when you cooperate with such people, you don't have to worry about being cheated by them."
"Of course, in addition to this, the most important thing is that we need to have common and consistent interests."
"When our interests are aligned and we have equal status, hey, if others want to get involved, they are just confronting a class."
“No matter who it is, you have to consider it.”
"Okay, I think you've convinced me." Haley frowned, but still agreed.
She was not stupid, and she could clearly distinguish between Chen Yang's career and their date.
Unlike some bloggers in later generations who brainwash women without any shame in order to attract traffic.
Home is a place of love, not a place of reason.
What? The best way to test whether a man loves you is to wake him up and play with you when he is lying on the sofa after a day of work.
These are all human words...
An educated woman like Haley naturally understands that love between men and women requires mutual efforts and support to last.
To keep asking for things is to seek death...
"I'm done eating, Chen Yang, you stay with me and chat for a while, I have another manuscript to finish,"
"Bob, this old stubborn man, didn't forget to exploit me even after giving me a holiday. He is such a disgusting capitalist."
After saying that, he kissed Chen Yang on the cheek and hurried up to the study on the second floor.
George looked at Chen Yang with envy and said, "Chen, I really envy you. You have a good wife who is knowledgeable and interesting."
Chen Yang grinned and said, "You are flattering yourself. You have a good sister too."
