After a lecture in the morning, Lu Ming left the campus and took a bus to the Mosuo Building, which was not far from the college.
Lu Ming selectively attends some classes. If he feels that he can fully understand the textbook and the professor is merely repeating the content of the textbook, he will not waste his time.
Mosuo Building and Shengjing University of Economics or commonly known as Shengjing Business School are both located in the Central District, the most prosperous area of Shengjing that has always been controlled by Westerners.
The Mosuo Building has twelve floors and is equipped with facilities such as elevators and air conditioners that are extremely rare in the Northern Region.
The entire third floor of the building is rented out by the Financial Decision-making Department of Jintaixiang Bank.
Because the Jintaixiang Bank Building in Longbei District is still under construction, its different departments are temporarily renting different buildings.
Jin Taixiang's Financial Decision-making Department is more like the financial policy-making department of the entire Longbei Province. It provides recommendations to the Administrative Office on the financial policies of the entire Longbei and preparations for issuing currency, including policies for managing private banks, and plays a role similar to that of a central bank.
Ferguson, a Western financial expert hired by the Minister of Financial Decision-making Department.
Lu Ming is now working part-time here to earn money for his studies. He comes for an hour every day. He is mainly responsible for printing and archiving unimportant documents.
In fact, this department was bloated with staff and had a lot of nepotism when it was first established.
It doesn't matter whether there are a few students coming to the archives room to help.
Those work-study programs are just a project of Jin Taixiang to support young students, which can be considered as charity.
But Lu Ming vaguely felt that it was a bit like some departments in his previous life, where the people who actually did the work were non-staff members, and the people on the staff were all leaders.
Fortunately, my investment is mainly in Jintaixiang’s commercial banking business. As for financial management, the experts and staff are paid by Longbei government funds.
There was nothing to do today, so Lu Ming came to the file room and chatted with the lady who was sweeping the floor in the corner.
As for the regular employees, they were all high and mighty and ignored these temporary workers.
In fact, if there were surveillance cameras in the Mosuo Building, they would have discovered that after "Zhang Aming" entered the lobby, he disappeared for more than half an hour before appearing on the third floor.
There is a "Blackwater Electrical Trading Company" on the left corridor of the first floor, which is the office of the Special Work Department of the Bureau of Secrets.
Only Lu Ming in the entire Security Bureau knew about this department. Its main purpose was to support resistance organizations in Haixi, promote progressive ideas, etc.
Lu Ming came to Mosuo Building to handle and guide the affairs of the Special Work Department. Because in today's world, experience in troubled times is scarce, and the experience in developing resistance organizations is far less than in his previous life. He has to keep an eye on how to do it in the early stages.
I also followed the early development of the Joint Matrix Intelligence Organization in this way. But now, I don’t have to worry about the Military Intelligence Department anymore, as many concepts have already formed certain rules.
As for choosing the special department of Jintaixiang Bank as a cover for coming to Mosuo Building, it was also because he wanted to understand the financial management business from the bottom up. After all, typists can access many internal documents, even if they are ordinary documents without confidentiality level.
In short, my schedule is now fully scheduled, and I go back to Montenegro on weekends and Sundays, so I am busy six days a week and non-stop.
…
After one hour of working, Lu Ming came down from the third floor and, seeing that no one was paying attention, he went into the Blackwater Electrical Trading Company again.
The office was deserted with only a few employees, but there were some refrigerator and air conditioner samples.
This is the case in the electrical appliance business in Beiyu, especially in the sale of refrigerators and air conditioners. The key is to have big customer dealers. If you don't open for three years, you can make a living for three years after you open.
Lu Ming went straight to the manager's office. The female secretary behind the desk next to the door stood up, bowed, and opened the door.
There were two people sitting in the office. The manager of the trading company was a fat guy. He was Bai Yumeng, the former station chief of the Nanying Intelligence Station whom Lu Ming knew. He was now transferred into the confidentiality system and promoted to the director of the Special Work Department of the Shengjing Security Bureau.
Sitting on the sofa was a gentle, middle-aged scholar-like man wearing glasses.
Seeing Lu Ming coming in, Bai Yumeng stood up and said with a smile: "Professor Zhao, this is Commissioner Zhang."
Lu Ming had taken off his glasses before coming in, and shook hands with the middle-aged scholar with a smile.
The middle-aged scholar is a professor at Jinzhou University in Haixi Province, named Zhao Yu.
At the end of last year, during the Imperial Games, he went to Jiangning with the Haixi delegation, but then he secretly went to Heishan to meet General Lu.
Lu Ming met him. This Zhao Yu highly praised "Social Theory", so he insisted on meeting General Lu.
Zhao Yu even revealed in his words that he had actually been a sympathizer of the secret society Haixi Freedom Alliance. His best friend was a core member of the organization, but unfortunately he had been executed.
The main purpose of the Freedom League was to oppose the rule of warlords, but it became a big deal and Liu Bangchang, the governor of Haixi, ordered a strict investigation and carried out a bloody suppression.
Lu Ming didn't talk to him about anything else at that time, he just chatted with him about the political, economic and other social structures of this world.
When it comes to high-level theories, I can easily come up with them from the political and philosophy courses I learned from elementary school to university in my previous life.
In previous lives, various social management models and economic development models were extremely rich, unlike this world which is stagnant.
Therefore, when it comes to theoretical matters, Lu Mingxin's free-wheeling and eloquent speeches are probably unmatched in the world today.
Afterwards, the Military Intelligence Department had secret contact with Zhao Yu.
This line has now been transferred to the Shengjing Security Bureau.
After Zhao Yu and Lu Ming shook hands and sat down, he sighed deeply, "Alas, the meat eaters of Jinzhou, where is their ideal? It's no use talking about ideals with them."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, but making more friends with the powerful will be good for the professor's situation."
Bai Yumeng had already taken out a small suitcase and placed it on the table, which was of course the activity funds for Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed: "It is so difficult to enlighten the people. The articles in my newspaper speak for the people, but often the people who are scolded the most are the people at the bottom of society."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "General Lu once mentioned the story of the human blood steamed bun."
Zhao Yu's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Ming, "Oh, you know that too. Unfortunately, I am in a remote area and cannot always hear General Lu's words. General Lu is a thinker, and his words are profound. I benefited a lot from chatting with him for a short while."
Lu Ming nodded and advised: "Professor, you should keep a low profile and stop criticizing the current situation so often."
"I understand, but sometimes, I just can't help it." Zhao Yu sighed, "Ever since Zihui was martyred, I thought my future was bleak, but now I finally have hope."
Lu Ming picked up the teacup and drank tea. In fact, he didn't like dealing with these professors and scholars.
If you do something that doesn't meet their expectations, you will be scolded in the blink of an eye.
Many things appear beautiful when viewed from a distance, but may not be so when viewed up close.
However, I will respect their personality.
In Haixi, the two main lines of development were secret societies among the lower classes of the people and the spread of ideas among the intellectual class. The latter was probably more important.
