    The music was still playing, and the men and women were completely immersed in it.

    After talking about business, Wang Weiyi, Lu Mingzhai and Qiao Zhihe had a drink and talked about current affairs. Then they saw Tang Weihong walking towards them, slightly frowning: "Manager Wang, you are not a gentleman."

    Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what was going on.  Just listen to Tang Weihong say: "Do you remember that you promised to ask me to dance?"

    Some embarrassment: "Ms. Tang, I'm very sorry. It's a bit late today. I have something to do. Is it okay tomorrow?"

    Tang Weihong said at this time: "Okay, then I can forgive you for being busy. Tomorrow, at the Russian Ballroom on Xiafei Road, Mr. Lowellault, the counselor of the French Consulate, will hold a ball to welcome a friend of his from France.  Are you free to join me?"

    Wang Weiyi was about to refuse, but Qiao Zhihe poked him. Wang Weiyi could only say helplessly: "Okay, Miss Tang, I will be very honored to accept your invitation."

    "Negardepasunecourtoisiederendez-vouspas." Tang Weihong said in French, "It is rude to miss an appointment."

    Just now, she took the initiative to ask Wang Weiyi to invite her to dance, but Wang Weiyi did not show up, which made Tang Weihong feel a little uncomfortable.  So many people were rushing to invite me to dance, but only this "Manager Wang" took the initiative to invite him but was ignored. It seemed that he didn't take himself seriously at all, so he deliberately used French to get a little revenge.

    But to be honest, I still have a good impression of this well-dressed and handsome "Manager Wang", otherwise I wouldn't invite him to Xiafei Road for the second time tomorrow.

    She said that French sentence, a little mockery of the other party's failure to make an appointment, and I guess he didn't understand it either.  But I didn't expect Wang Weiyi to smile and say in French:

    ¡°Oui, nepourraitpaslaprochainefois.¡±

    Tang Weihong was stunned. What he said was, "Yes, I won't do it next time."

    This person actually knows French?

    "You? Do you know French?" Tang Weihong was very surprised: "Have you been to France?"

    "Yes, I have been to Reims and Paris and had very pleasant experiences there." Wang Weiyi said lightly.

    Tang Weihong¡¯s eyes showed envy: ¡°Do you still understand the languages ????of other countries?¡±

    Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "I can probably speak German, English, Russian and Japanese."

    At this time, Tang Weihong's eyes were extremely surprised. At first, she thought that the other party was just an ordinary handsome businessman, but it seemed that the other party was far from that simple.

    Tang Weihong, who was completely curious, once again made an appointment with Wang Weiyi for the dance tomorrow, and then left out of curiosity.

    "Brother, this is the first time I have seen Miss Tang like this." Qiao Zhihe smiled at this time: "Good guy, you can actually speak so many languages? When I was studying in the United States, in addition to English, I also wanted to master  A foreign language, but found that I really didn¡¯t have enough energy.¡±

    That¡¯s not what Wang Weiyi was thinking about: ¡°Brother Yuanyong, why do you have to let me go to that dance?¡±

    Before Qiao Zhihe could answer, Lu Mingzhai had already said on his behalf: "Brother, if you want to get things done in Shanghai, all forces must be taken into consideration. The Tang family has a relatively large influence in Shanghai, especially among the French.  , Our company is located in the French Concession, so we have to have a good relationship with the Tang family. "

    Wang Weiyi nodded, probably understanding a little bit.

    Today¡¯s harvest is still relatively large. The company¡¯s affairs have been successfully handled. As long as all links are connected, a lifeline between Shanghai and the front line will be established.

    Of course, there are too many things to do, and it all depends on the efforts of Qiao Zhihe and Lu Mingzhai

    French Consulate in Shanghai.

    ¡°Aha, my old friend, I¡¯ve finally waited for you to come to China.¡± Consulate Counselor Lowelow enthusiastically greeted the big fat man and gave him a warm hug:

    "Gustave, my friend, I can hardly remember how many years it has been since we last met."

    He¡ª¡ªis Gustav!  During World War I, he served as a colonel in the French army:

    Colonel Gustave of Reims!

    "Lowello, look at you, you are more energetic than before." Gustave, who took off his military uniform, obviously looked much better: "You always told me that China has many opportunities to make a fortune. Look, I didn't come here to  ¡±

    "Come on, my friend." Lovello poured him a glass of wine and asked him to sit down: "I'm really surprised, why do you want to leave the military? I remember that you were a colonel a long time ago.You can become a general soon.¡±

    Gustav¡¯s face turned red.

    Few people know the real reason for his departure from the military.  He was forced to leave his post along with General El Raffarin.  In Reims, they suffered defeats one after another at the hands of that damn skeleton baron Ernst Brahm. No matter how much the higher-ups tried to protect them, they could not protect them.

    Of course, the above still gave them a chance to leave with dignity:

    Automatically leave the army!

    After leaving the army, Gustav first worked as a timber merchant for several years, and finally became an arms dealer.  He didn't do well in the army, but he prospered as an arms dealer.

    "Lowello, why should I stay in the army? Is it just to get those pitiful salaries?" Gustav would never tell the embarrassing things about himself on the battlefield: "Look at me, how many people are there now?"  Well, I made enough money to buy a palace."

    Lowelow smiled slightly, but in his heart he scolded this damn fat man. Could it be that no one would know if you don¡¯t tell him?

    Back then, you were the one who introduced the Skeleton Baron to Lance, and you were the one who constantly suffered defeats in front of the Skeleton Baron, even involving General Raffarin.

    Just a loser on the battlefield

    Of course, Lovellor is now thinking about how to cooperate with Gustave to make more money and make his life more comfortable after retirement.

    Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face again: "Gustave, my friend, let's talk about serious things. You see, China is at war. What is needed most for the war? Weapons! Is it possible?  Don¡¯t you think our chance to make a fortune has come?¡±

    Gustav was very disapproving: "Lowello, I have investigated and found out that most of the weapons purchased by the Chinese government are German weapons. Those Germans don't know what happened, but they actually sold weapons and equipment to them at such low prices.  China, is that mustache crazy? So do you think I have a chance in China?¡±

    "Gustave, why are you so unsure?" Loweiro smiled and said, "I know a few very effective friends in the Chinese government. There is no doubt that they will help me. But before that,  You have to pay a fortune to give it to them.¡±

    "Hey, Lovelo, it's us." When it comes to money, Gustav would never be so casual. He corrected Lovelo: "We are partners, have you forgotten?  I can¡¯t come up with this money by myself.¡±

    The stingy fat man Lowelow cursed fiercely in his heart.  How could he be so calculating on the battlefield, so he wouldn't have failed so miserably.

    "Okay, us." Lowelow shrugged: "I will arrange for you to meet with those National Government officials as soon as possible, right in Shanghai, right in our French Concession."

    "In Shanghai?" Gustav was very surprised: "Shanghai has been occupied by the Japanese now, can they come in?"

    Lovelo nodded very solemnly: "Yes, they are still very capable in this regard, and as far as I know, their intelligence agency left a large number of agents in Shanghai during the retreat, so how?  We don¡¯t have to worry about meeting.¡±

    At this time, Gustav raised the issue he was most concerned about: "Lowello, I have to tell you, I will offer a very high price. You have to know that to transport weapons to a country at war, but once  It¡¯s a very dangerous thing and the cost will be greatly increased.¡±

    "That's no problem at all." Lovello said nonchalantly; "And I can give you a suggestion. I heard that you have a batch of obsolete weapons in your hand. They are all old goods that were no longer used more than ten years ago.  , I haven¡¯t been able to take action, have I?¡±

    After receiving Gustave¡¯s affirmative answer, Lovello lowered his voice: ¡°Gustave, I suggest you sell all these weapons to China.¡±

    "Will they want it? These weapons are almost older than my father," Gustav asked doubtfully.

    "I will." Lovello answered very definitely: "The premise is that you are willing to spend money in the early stage to bribe the Chinese officials who are negotiating, as long as you meet their requirements, even if you hold a piece of wood and tell them it is a mortar  Pao, they will also pretend not to see it.¡±

    "Aha, I like this." Gustav raised his cup excitedly: "For money."

    "No, no." Lowelow shook his finger: "It's for the war."

    "Ah, yes, as long as the war between China and Japan continues indefinitely, opportunities for us to make a fortune will be everywhere. Lovello, thank you for bringing me to China. For the war!"

    "For?War!  "

    The two clinked their glasses, and Lowelow took a sip: "Gustave, in order to express my welcome to you coming to China, tomorrow night, I will hold a dance specifically for you. Ah, in order to ensure that the Japanese and us  To maintain friendly relations, I also specially invited Kobayakawa Koui, one of their chiefs of staff, to attend.¡±

    "I can't wait, Lowelow." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
