Chapter 1078 See you soon!
Sun Wenheng knew exactly how capable Zhang Meng was, and since he knew that, he still asked Zhang Meng to help him get the savings license, not because he really wanted to rely on Zhang Meng to get it...
This was just a test from Sun Wenheng to Zhang Meng to see whether he would make big promises in order to get the shares or would he just be realistic. Now there is no doubt that Sun Wenheng is very satisfied with Zhang Meng's honesty!
Facing Zhang Meng's gaze, Sun Wenheng waved his hand and said:
"General Zhang, I also know that it is difficult to get a savings license, so it would be best if you can get it, but it doesn't matter if you can't get it, just go with the flow and don't force it!"
"In addition, my son Sun Teng went to Yijing. In addition to saving up for licenses, we also tried to get some other licenses. We also went to investigate the market in Yijing and even the north to see what the environment in the north is like!"
"I am not satisfied with what you said, General Zhang. I have wanted to expand our Dadechang business to the north for many years, but due to the current situation, I have never been able to fulfill my wish!"
"This has always been a regret of mine. I originally thought I would take this regret to my grave, but I didn't expect Marshal Ye's Fengwu Army to give me hope!"
"So in the north, my son Sun Teng still needs your care and help, General Zhang!"
At the end, the old fox Sun Wenheng pretended to be sincere and bowed to Zhang Meng. Seeing this, Zhang Meng hesitated. Although Sun Wenheng had just mentioned it vaguely, he still heard it clearly. Sun Wenheng wanted to apply for other licenses··························
Currently, there are three industries that Fengwu Army needs licenses to participate in. The first is the most important savings license. Only with this license can it openly absorb savings from the people.
The second type is a brothel license. Only with a license can a service industry be established. Service personnel must also be registered to avoid illegal acts such as trafficking or forced reception of customers. Service personnel must also undergo regular doctor examinations organized by the government to avoid possible social harm.
The third type is a gambling den license. Only with a license can you open a gambling den, and you must also be subject to strict supervision by the government.
Although it is not easy to get a license for a brothel or gambling den, it is still more relaxed than the first type of license. It does not need to be reported to the Marshal for approval, but can be applied for by the local governor, which is undoubtedly easier to operate!
Zhang Meng knew very well that Sun Wenheng's money was not so easy to get. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said:
"I understand, I'll help!"
Listening to Zhang Meng's promise, Sun Wenheng clapped his hands and smiled:
"General Zhang, you are so straightforward! In that case, I have a gift for you!"
"Oh?"
Zhang Meng was a little confused when he heard this. Didn't this old guy give him three shares of Dadechang? What kind of gift was this for him?
Under Zhang Meng's curious gaze, Sun Wenheng clapped his hands, and soon a servant came over and handed a letter to Zhang Meng····························
Looking at the letter handed over, Zhang Meng did not take it immediately, but asked Sun Wenheng with some doubts:
"Master Sun, what is this?"
Sun Wenheng smiled and said mysteriously:
"Although the silver shares of our Dadechang can make your pockets fatter, General Zhang, this thing will allow General Zhang to make a great contribution to the Fengwu Army!"
Hearing this, Zhang Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately took the letter and read it. Looking carefully at the contents on the letter, Zhang Meng's expression became interesting. After a moment, he said to Sun Wenheng:
"Master Sun, is this letter real?"
Sun Wenheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke meaningfully:
"Whether this letter is true or false depends on how you view it, General Zhang. If you think it is true, then it is true, and vice versa!"
Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light and he said in a deep voice:
"If I remember correctly, the Lin family is your biggest competitor in the business world, Master Sun!"
Sun Wenheng preached indifferently:
"But they will also be the most important stepping stones for you, General Zhang, to get promoted and make money!"
After hearing this, Zhang Meng suddenly realized everything. Everything he had just said was just a prelude. He was trying to tie him to his boat, and now his true intention was revealed. Sure enough, his silver was not easy to take...
Although he knew that Sun Wenheng was using him, when he thought of the silver shares Sun Wenheng promised, Zhang Meng held back his anger and said seriously:
"The Coordination Office is not just for show! Master Sun, I need you to give me a definite answer whether the Lin family is really connected to the Zhennan Army!"
Sun Wenheng also said very seriously:
"General Zhang, why do you think the Lin family's business has suddenly risen in recent years? Did the Lin family members take some magic medicine and become extremely smart? Isn't it because someone is supporting them from behind?"
"General Zhang, just trust me, an old man, on this matter. I promise that you will not only make a lot of money, but also make a great contribution to Marshal Ye!"
Hearing what Sun Wenheng said, Zhang Meng's heart also became hot, but after thinking for half an incense stick of time, he finally made up his mind and said to Sun Wenheng in a deep voice:
"Master Sun, I will trust you just this once!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wenheng's old face also showed a satisfied smile and said:
"Thank you for your trust, General Zhang. You will find that I am a trustworthy person. Our cooperation will be very pleasant!"
"I hope so·······················"

Sichuan, Chengdu
Under the slightly dim light in the study of the Governor's Mansion, Song Weijie was carefully wiping the sword in his hand. This sword was not a magical weapon, but it was the sword that Song Weijie wore when he was just starting out, and it had experienced many ups and downs with Song Weijie.
Because it is not a magical weapon, after many battles, several small cracks have appeared on the blade of this sword.
If it were someone else, he would probably change his sword and throw away or put away the old sword. But Song Weijie was a nostalgic person, and the power in his hands was getting bigger and bigger, so he didn't need to do some things himself.
So Song Weijie simply kept this sword with him and never changed for any other sword. Whenever he had time, Song Weijie would take out this sword and wipe it.
Whenever he wiped the sword, the bloody battles and the iron horses would appear before Song Weijie's eyes, making him sigh that time is fleeting and the years are unforgiving!
Although he fulfilled his dream when he was young and became the governor of Sichuan and a local emperor, he was not as happy and high-spirited as he had imagined when he was young!
As the saying goes, one should not meddle in matters that are not within one’s jurisdiction. The troubles and pressures encountered in the position of Governor-General of Sichuan and Shu were far more difficult than he had imagined when he was young.
Just as Song Weijie was wiping the sword in his hand and reminiscing about the glorious past, there were several knocks on the door of the study.
"Governor, people are coming!" As soon as Song Weijie said this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He immediately put away the sword in his hand and ordered in a deep voice:
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
As Song Weijie finished speaking, a bald man who was not very tall but very sturdy walked into Song Weijie's study.
The bald man looked a bit old, about fifty years old, but he looked very energetic and had a very imposing manner. However, even so, when he saw Song Weijie, he knelt down with a plop and said:
"Commoner Wang Hanchao greets His Excellency the Governor!"
Looking at Wang Hanchao kneeling down, Song Weijie looked at him carefully and said:
"Are you the tiller?"
Wang Hanchao, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and said:
"My brothers in the martial arts world think highly of me, so they let me take this position!"
Hearing this, Song Weijie snorted and then said lightly:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Governor!"
After getting the permission, Wang Hanchao stood up immediately, but still maintained a very respectful posture, with a very humble expression on his face. It was hard to tell that he was the leader of the famous Big Brother Society in Sichuan with thousands of brothers under him...
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Song Weijie asked calmly:
"Do you know why I called you here?"
Wang Hanchao shook his head and said:
"do not know!"
After saying this, Wang Hanchao hesitated for a moment and added:
"I am honored to be able to work for the Governor. No matter what you want me to do, I will do my best and sacrifice my life!"
Listening to Wang Hanchao's statement, Song Weijie nodded slightly, then took out a list from the drawer of the desk, threw it to Wang Hanchao and said:
"Do you recognize all the names here?"
Wang Hanchao took the list and glanced at it, his expression was a little surprised. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said:
"If I'm not mistaken, these are all the governors, the provincial governors, and the senior officers of the Sichuan Army!"
Seeing Wang Hanchao's doubtful expression, Song Weijie's expression also became serious and he said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Wang, if I ask you to monitor them, do you have the courage?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Hanchao, the big brother of the underworld, was stunned. However, he was still a big brother after all, so he immediately understood what was going on and asked back:
"Governor, do you suspect someone has betrayed you?"
Facing Wang Hanchao’s question, Song Weijie did not answer, but just looked at him coldly·························
Feeling the coldness of Song Weijie's eyes, Wang Hanchao didn't dare to look him in the eye. He immediately lowered his head and said:
"Governor, just one word and I'll do it for you!"
Upon hearing this, Song Weijie nodded secretly in his heart, but he took out some documents and threw them to Wang Hanchao again. The Sichuan brother did not suspect anything and immediately started to check them.
This time, Wang Hanchao was stunned after just a glance at the documents. However, unlike the last accident, this time Wang Hanchao was frightened, because these documents were all the files of his crimes over the years!
Seeing Wang Hanchao like this, Song Weijie seemed very satisfied and continued:
"Mr. Wang, based on what you have done, killing you and your entire family ten times is not too much, right?"
Listening to Song Weijie's words, Wang Hanchao, who was also the eldest brother, understood that Song Weijie was not really trying to deal with him, but was playing a trick of using both kindness and force on him. Although he was somewhat disdainful of Song Weijie's tricks, the situation was stronger than the person, so Wang Hanchao knelt on the ground again, thinking of Song Weijie and begging bitterly:
"I was blinded by greed before. Please give me a chance to live. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness!"
At this time, Song Weijie felt that the situation was completely under his control. So he was too lazy to play anymore and said directly:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Governor!"
Wang Hanchao pretended to be trembling, climbed up from the ground and stood respectfully again. Seeing this, Song Weijie spoke again:
“Mr. Wang, if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t be alive today. As long as you get the job done for me, I can forgive you for everything else. I, the governor, can even give you a little reward…”
"So you understand?"
Facing Song Weijie's meaningful look, Wang Hanchao pretended to be enlightened and said:
"I will do my job well and keep a close eye on them for you, Governor!"
Seeing Wang Hanchao being so sensible, Song Weijie no longer hid it and immediately warned:
'I want to know their every move, especially who they meet with, and the most important thing about this matter is to keep it confidential. You must not let anyone else know about this. If you are discovered, you must deal with it properly! '
After hearing this, Wang Hanchao also understood that this was a dirty job, which meant that once the people he sent out were discovered, then he, Wang Hanchao, would be the only one to bear the wrath of those officials!
Even if I bring Song Weijie out, Song Weijie will not admit it, and may even kill to silence him in order to clear his suspicion!
Thinking of this, Wang Hanchao couldn't help feeling very bitter. Why did he just lie at home and wade into this muddy water? However, at this moment, under the gaze of Song Weijie, Wang Hanchao had no choice but to be unwilling. If he said a word of no, he would probably be caught by Song Weijie on the spot!
With a sigh in his heart, Wang Hanchao met Song Weijie's gaze and said in a deep voice:
"Please leave this matter to me, Your Excellency the Governor. I promise to do a great job for you, Your Excellency the Governor..."
