The Pentium Era - South to North

"Lao Meng, do you know that there are some scams and rumors about 'national assets' here, but we actually let them out?" Lao Cha asked Meng Ping.

Meng Ping shook his head and said he didn't know, then asked: "Why?"

"True is true, false is false, false is true, true is false and false is true." Lao Cha repeated it again, and then said: "There are more people on this road, so we can hide people's whereabouts. Lao Meng, you have to Remember, from now on, we are just one of the many treasure hunters looking for the so-called 'national asset' with the mentality of getting rich overnight."

Meng Ping said yes, then which one should we look for, Li Zicheng’s or Hong Xiuquan’s?

Before Lao Cha said anything, Lao Zhu laughed. Lao Cha shook his head and told Meng Ping that these have nothing to do with us. I said that so many false news are spreading outside to cover up our true intentions.

Old Meng looked at Meng Ping, and suddenly changed the subject. He said, "Old Meng, why don't you ask why we want to find you?"

Meng Ping was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Yes, why did you come to me?"

"It should be said that we know more about you than you think." Lao Cha said, "First of all, of course, it is because you have been in the agency, and your performance in all aspects should be said to be very good, up and down, right Your feedback is very good. Many times, you know the principles and limits that must be adhered to. Those who have never been in an agency do not have this awareness and sense of proportion.

"Second, of course, it's because you are no longer in the agency, because no one can know that there is official involvement in this whole thing, not like Lao Zhu, but Lao Zhu can provide you with a lot of support and help You have clarified many things. If you contact Lao Zhu, no one will suspect that you are contacting the official. You are friends, right?

"Third, it involves people's personal charm. You must be good at dealing with people and have the ability to quickly make people trust you. This may seem simple, but it is the most difficult. Some things must be learned. You can’t learn it, and in this whole thing, this is the most necessary ability. Lao Zhu introduced it to me, and I believe it now.”

"What do you believe?" Meng Ping asked.

"We didn't know each other before. At least from the time you came in to now, I have a very good impression of you. This is what I mean, the ability to make people trust you. This is a natural ability. It can’t be trained,” Lao Zha said.

Meng Ping smiled and said, "I also have a very good impression of you."

Lao Cha was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "That means we have a foundation for cooperation."

Lao Zha took out a business card, handed it to Meng Ping, and said to Meng Ping, "This is my current identity."

Meng Ping took it and looked at it. It read: "Zha Yigang, General Manager of Shenzhen Zhengwei Import and Export Co., Ltd."

"Don't worry, this company is real. There are people who answer calls and people who go to the company. There is also my office in the company. I came to you to discuss business, Mr. Meng." Lao Cha continued, " Remember, someone will answer this call 24 hours a day, but don’t call unless it’s an emergency, okay?”

Lao Zha said and laughed: "Of course, if you want to verify the authenticity, you can call one now, and they will tell you that I went to Nanjing."

After Lao Zha finished speaking, he looked at his watch and said to Meng Ping, "Okay, lunch time is here, we should go have lunch."

Meng Ping also wanted to ask what he should do specifically, but it was obvious that Lao Cha had no intention of continuing, so he had to stand up.

Lao Cha told Meng Ping and Lao Zhu that after lunch, I would go back to Beijing. Lao Meng, Lao Zhu will tell you something.

Meng Ping said yes, do you need me to take you to the airport this afternoon?

"No need, someone will send it to you." Lao Cha said.

The three of them went to the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Jinling Hotel. During the meal, no one talked about the topic of "national assets". Instead, they chatted all over the world. It was obvious that Lao Cha had been to many places. He is very familiar with the customs and customs of various places, as well as the three religions and nine streams.

Halfway through the meal, Lao Cha and Meng Ping said, I have to go back to the room to make an important phone call, and you two continue eating.

Lao Zhu said yes, you go.

Lao Cha stood up, patted Meng Ping on the shoulder, and left.

After Lao Cha left, Meng Ping wanted to ask Lao Zhu about the "national assets". Lao Zhu seemed to know what Meng Ping wanted to do, and shook his head. Meng Ping understood, and the two simply chatted about things in the Wuxi agency.

Lao Zhu and Meng Ping said that the agency had moved to a new building. Lao Meng, guess what, our city secretary office is still in the corner of the first floor. It seems that we only deserve to be in the corner.

"That's not good." Meng Ping said with a smile, "Let you just sit in the corner and silently work on your career that can affect generations to come."

"What the hell, let me tell you, many times, if the magnolia outside the window hadn't turned into an osmanthus tree, I would have thought I was still in the original office." Lao Zhu said.

"Then where else do you want to go?" Meng Ping said, "Let me tell you, this unit is just like people. Its position in the organization is the same as people's position in the crowd. It is fixed. Then the Petition Office It must be outside the main gate. For your municipal office, it must be in the corner of the first floor.

"The Agency Affairs Bureau thought of it when allocating offices. Aren't you all working hard every day? If you want peace and quiet, then I will give you a quiet place. They are so considerate, do you still have any objections?"

"I'm too lazy to have any opinions." Lao Zhu said, "By the way, Lao Meng, it's rare for me to come to the provincial capital. Have you, the big boss, thought about how to entertain me?"

Lao Meng said: "It's simple. How about we take a foot bath in the afternoon and take a sauna in the evening?"

"Can you eat meat or not?"

"Of course, you can put down your golden house today and enjoy Yan Ruyu."

"Haha, okay, I knew it was you, Lao Meng, who knows me best."

Meng Ping looked at him and cursed: "Qiu Ba is Qiu Ba."

Lao Zhu chuckled: "As long as you have a face like jade, Qiu Ba is nothing, the bastard is worth it, let's go, let's go quickly."

Meng Ping made a gesture and asked the waiter to pay the bill. The waiter came over and told them that the 809 customer had already signed the bill.

The two people left the revolving restaurant and entered the elevator. Meng Ping and Lao Zhu said, let's go and talk to Lao Cha before leaving?

Lao Zhu said yes, and Meng Ping pressed the button on the eighth floor.

The two people walked to 809 and saw the waiter cleaning the room inside. Meng Ping asked, where are the guests in this room?

The waiter told him that he had just checked out.

Meng Ping and Lao Zhu went downstairs. As soon as they walked out of the passage connecting the elevator to the lobby, they saw Lao Cha getting into an Audi car with a red license plate starting with "South C" at the gate and leaving.

Lao Zhu shouted: "Okay, he's busy with his business, and we're going to do ours."

The two of them went to the "Hanfeng" footbath where Meng Ping often went. When the little girl washed their feet and gave them a foot massage, they were talking about the old things in the past. When the little girl finished her service, she told them that they were Let's take a rest, close the door of the box, and walk out.

Meng Ping asked Lao Zhu: "How do you know this Lao Cha?"

"I was introduced by a classmate in the Political Research Office."

"Beijing, from the sea?"

"Of course, among our classmates, I am the only one who lives in a prefecture-level city. The rest are also in Shanghai, and there are also those who are on TV now. Damn it, I am too embarrassed to even attend a class reunion. "

Lao Zhu shouted, and Meng Ping nodded in his heart. The political research office has a good background. With such a connection, it is not surprising to find Lao Zhu.

"Lao Zhu, do you know what's going on with this old search for me?" Meng Ping asked.

"Didn't I tell you to look for 'national assets'?"

"Where to find it?"

"Nanjing."

"Ah!" Meng Ping was surprised, "You mean, there is really such a treasure buried in Nanjing?"

"Why is it buried in Nanjing? You need to find someone in Nanjing. Otherwise, we need to find someone like you in Nanjing to do this?" Lao Zhu said, "The money is abroad, but the people are in Nanjing."

"The money is abroad?" Meng Ping was confused, "Whose money will go abroad, Wang Mang's or Zhang Xianzhong's?"

Lao Zhu burst into laughter: "It has nothing to do with those things. Didn't Lao Cha say that those are smoke screens? The real money has nothing to do with those things. To be honest, when I first heard about it, , I was also shocked, but after understanding the context of the whole thing and connecting them together, it makes sense.”

Lao Zhu became interested and sat up on the recliner. Seeing this, Meng Ping also sat up. Lao Zhu asked Meng Ping:

"Lao Meng, do you know Zheng He?"

"Zheng He? Which Zheng He?" Meng Ping was confused.

"How many Zheng He do you know?"

"I only know Zheng He, the one who went to the Western Seas." Meng Ping said.

"Yes, Lao Meng, this money is related to Zheng He." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"Here I go, why is it related to a eunuch again? This eunuch's money has gone abroad. Now, I want to find someone in Nanjing. Lao Zhu, don't tell me that this person in Nanjing still belongs to the eunuch. Descendants, right?”

"Is it scary? Is it interesting?"

Lao Zhu said, looked at the door of the box, and Meng Ping cursed:

"Don't be so nervous. No one is eavesdropping here. Even if you are eavesdropping, you won't understand. Call the little girl who washed your feet in front of you. Ask her about Zheng Jun. She may know. Ask her about Zheng He. She doesn't even know. , say it quickly, say it quickly."

"Well, this is going to be a long story. Let's talk about one person, that is Zhu Chongba. Lao Meng, do you know Zhu Chongba?" Lao Zhu asked.

Meng Ping said angrily: "Zhu Qiuba's younger brother? Stop asking me if I know. I didn't graduate from the History Department of Fudan University. Just tell me who he is."

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Lao Meng, I just like your shamelessness, and you are never willing to ask questions without shame. Well, let's not talk about it. This Zhu Chongba is Zhu Yuanzhang. Let's talk about another person, Lan Yu, you... okay, Lan Yu He was a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, and he and Fu Youde, another general under Zhu Yuanzhang.

"In 1384, when they were pacifying Yunnan, Lan Yu captured a very capable young eunuch, Ma Sanbao, Zheng He, from the palace of Zarawalmi, the king of Liang in the Yuan Dynasty. Zheng He was thirteen years old that year. After Lan Yu returned to Nanjing, she sent Zheng He to the palace and dedicated it to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang also liked this little eunuch very much.

"But the next year, that is, 1385, Fu Youde and Lan Yu were transferred to guard Beiping Mansion, which is today's Beijing. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zheng He to accompany Lan Yu. You may be wondering why the emperor would send such a general to the expedition. The eunuch is with you, right? Let’s hear the explanation next time.”

As Lao Zhu said this, he got off the couch and walked towards the door. Meng Ping shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Shhhh." Lao Zhu said, opened the door of the box and walked out.
