Chapter 44: Liu Hui And Handler Cao Ying
Zhou Mansion,
After Zhou Wenhua and Zhou Jixian exchanged greetings, the two of them were also in the parlor, conducting a conversation.
“Your domestic car brand has recently shaken up the entire Shanghai, even the entire domestic automotive industry chain!”
“Now foreigners see you as a thorn in their side and are preparing to block you!”
“What are your plans? Do you still intend to continue stirring up trouble in the automotive industry chain, which originally belonged only to the foreigners’ monopoly, by continuing to teach car engine manufacturing knowledge and technology, and automotive parts manufacturing knowledge and technology?”
After Zhou Wenhua sat down with a serious listening expression to hear Zhou Jixian speak,
Zhou Jixian also solemnly and seriously warned Zhou Wenhua.
And he also wanted to hear Zhou Wenhua’s thoughts.
“Uncle! The purpose of me doing this is to hope to revitalize the development of our domestic automotive industry chain and lay a good foundation!”
“Think about it, our China, a great power, doesn’t even have a single domestic car; everything needs to be assembled with imported parts and engines and other automotive parts from foreigners!”
“It can be said that the current domestic industrial foundation is basically zero. If this situation doesn’t change, how easy will it be for our domestic industry to rise and catch up with foreigners’ science and technology?”
“It is also based on this reason that I am wholeheartedly researching science and technology and industrial technology, hoping to contribute to our domestic industrial development!”
“By wading into the muddy waters of the automotive industry chain, I’m not doing it to make money, but to create a sensation domestically, attract more domestic talent and wealthy people who want to engage in the automotive industry chain to learn car manufacturing technology, and thereby develop more automotive industry talent, laying a good learning foundation for future domestic car production manufacturing or domestic industrial foundation!”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fully publicly taught car manufacturing knowledge and technology to those agents willing to franchise!”
After listening to Zhou Jixian’s question, Zhou Wenhua was also very frank and expressed his personal thoughts.
“Revitalizing domestic industry and science and technology—with such good intentions, I, as your uncle, am deeply pleased. But once you embark on this path, I’m afraid you’ll make many enemies in the future!”
“Especially since foreigners are not easy to deal with at all!”
“I’m worried they will pressure high-level officials to suppress you or eliminate you!”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have urgently called you over for this conversation!”
“Actually, I wouldn’t oppose you teaching scientific and technological knowledge and industrial technology knowledge much, but I feel you could act a bit more low-key!”
“That way, it might be much safer and easier than lecturing so high-profile like now!”
“A tall tree attracts the wind—this is not a good thing; there will always be danger!”
“As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be torn by the wind; a pile that stands out from the bank will be eroded by the current; one who walks higher than others will be opposed by the crowd. If a tree.”
“So listen to your uncle—from today onward, toning down your actions is the true foundation for rising!”
After Zhou Wenhua finished speaking, Zhou Jixian stared at him for a long time,
then gently warned and reminded him in a mild tone.
“Yes! Uncle! Your nephew understands!”
After hearing this, Zhou Wenhua was silent for a while, then agreed.
“Good! A teachable Confucian youth!”
“Have dinner here with me tonight!”
“I have quite a few things I want to chat with you about. To be honest, you are much more sensible than that rascal Zhou Wen!”
“If he could be like you in nature and aspire to a career, I would really be happy!”
“I only have Zhou Wen as my biological son, but he really has no sensible thoughts at all. Lately, he’s even been chasing female classmates at school—it’s really worrying me too much!”
Seeing Zhou Wenhua being so obedient,
Zhou Jixian was also very happy and praised him,
and sighed about his own son’s lack of sense.
“My cousin will mature; I still have high hopes for his future performance!”
“So Uncle, you don’t need to worry about him too much; it’s just that the timing hasn’t come yet!”
“People will mature with the increase in age and certain subsequent events!”
Zhou Wenhua also comforted him.
Hearing this, Zhou Jixian showed a long-absent bright smile and gratefully nodded lightly to Zhou Wenhua.
And he stood up, gesturing for Zhou Wenhua to follow him to the living room for dinner.
In the entire living room, only Zhou Jixian and his wife were hosting Zhou Wenhua for dinner.
As for Zhou Weiguo, Liu Zhihui, and Liu Hui, these three brothers of different surnames, they were outside and had not returned yet.
At this time, Liu Hui
was in a tea house inside a grocery store, conversing with his handler.
“My handler Lan Lan sent me a letter. She told me she has dispatched Qiao Zhenyu and Guo Xiaoying to approach your cousin Zhou Wenhua. They plan to learn car manufacturing technology and knowledge there!”
“However, recently your cousin has been too exposed in the limelight, offending all the bosses of foreign car companies, and even the people from Japanese car companies are equally offended. I’m afraid these people will soon take action against your cousin!”
“So to ensure his personal safety, my handler Lan Lan hopes you can pay more secret attention and protection to your cousin Zhou Wenhua! To guard against him being ambushed and injured by people dispatched by foreigners or Japanese, like his father Zhou Jiawei who was ambushed and seriously injured by a traitor, leaving him bedridden!”
“This is one of the reasons I came to find you today. The other is that our intelligence officers reconnoitered that ‘male impersonator’ Yoshiko Kawashima arrived in Shanghai from the Northeast by train two days ago!”
“And she had a secret meeting with one of the Japanese spy chiefs, Major Ryūkichi Tanaka. As for what they exchanged, we haven’t investigated yet, especially Yoshiko Kawashima’s true purpose in coming to Shanghai—what exactly is it? We need to intensify our investigation!”
“And you and I were selected by Sister Lan to investigate Yoshiko Kawashima’s true purpose in coming to Shanghai—what exactly does she want to do?”
As soon as Liu Hui sat down and took a sip of the tea Cao Ying poured for him,
before Liu Hui could even smile and speak to relax,
he first heard Cao Ying’s eager voice.
“.”
Liu Hui.
Recently, he had been busy with his police station affairs and really hadn’t paid much attention to Zhou Wenhua’s situation.
So he felt like the amount of information he received all at once was huge.
Moreover, this time it even alarmed his handler Cao Ying’s superior, prompting action.
And the famous female spy Yoshiko Kawashima, who stirs up trouble in the Kwantung Army side, has actually come to Shanghai too?
So for a moment, Liu Hui’s brain was rapidly digesting this information that was completely beyond his expectations.
