Chapter 370
"Something else?"
Looking at Zheng Jirong, who was looking at him with a half-smile, Lu Yuesheng couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
I didn’t expect that even millions of oceans could not satisfy the appetite of these guys.
After he regained his senses, he said with trembling lips: "Boss Zheng, since we can talk, everything is easy to talk about. Why don't you let us down first? Then hang upside down for a while. I'm worried that I will die suddenly due to cerebral congestion." "
"Oh, look at me, I forget all about this when we talk about business!"
Zheng Jirong clapped his hands suddenly and ordered to the waiting soldiers around him: "Put them down and make a pot of good tea. I want to discuss a business deal with these two tycoons."
After a while, Lu Yuesheng and Huang Huanggui, who were in ragged clothes and covered with blood marks and scars, slumped on their chairs and cautiously raised their eyes to look at Zheng Jirong and Shen Zui opposite them.
"Hahaha, don't be afraid, Boss Lu and Boss Huang. As the saying goes, we don't know each other without fighting. We had a little misunderstanding before, but after beating you up, my anger is almost gone now. Come drink tea and let's talk. Business."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Jirong picked up the teacup in his hand and faced the two of them. Lu Yuesheng and Huang Huanggui looked at each other and then picked up the teacups one after another.
Seeing that these two people knew each other so well, Zheng Jirong smiled and said: "Shanghai is not peaceful now. The group of Zhili and Fengzhi warlords in the north are like a pack of hungry wolves, staring at the land under our feet. , if you are not careful, you will be implicated in the war."
"There are even more undercurrents and dangers inside Shanghai Bund. Zhang Wanlin, Ding Li and their gang bully the people and do all kinds of evil. The foreign devils are even more abominable. They seem to treat Shanghai Bund as a direct civilian territory and act arbitrarily in the concession. Dividing the city’s potential and resources.”
"The gap between rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know if you two tycoons have ever visited Zhabei, Nancheng or Shiliupu."
Zheng Jirong shook his head and said seriously: "There are beggars and prostitutes everywhere, and six out of ten families have no food to eat! Do you know how much it costs to buy a good girl in Nancheng? "
"Two pieces!"
Without waiting for their answer, Zheng Jirong raised two fingers and said solemnly to them: "You can force someone to sell their son or daughter for just two dollars!"
"Just because you guys used illegal means to amass wealth, plundered the city's resources wantonly, ignored laws and regulations, ignored moral ethics, and took for yourself the wealth that should belong to the people."
"The richer you are, the harder life will be for the people at the bottom of Shanghai!"
At this point, Zheng Jirong glared at the two of them and cursed: "I don't understand. You bastards have made so much money selling opium. Wouldn't it be better to invest a little in industry to provide some jobs for the citizens? I really want to Bring all the money to the coffin?!”
"Boss Zheng, are you exaggerating?"
After hearing this, Huang Huanggui said with a somewhat displeased tone: "Our Qing Gang has been actively participating in various charity activities. As long as there is money donation, we are always at the forefront!"
"Go to NM!"
Zheng Jirong directly cursed: "You dare to fool me with the left-hand and right-hand thing! Why don't you donate money to charity? It's just a 30-70 split of the common people's money, and the wealthy gentry's money will be returned in full. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"."
After Huang Huanggui heard this, he wanted to defend himself. Lu Yuesheng, who was beside him, jumped in front of him and asked directly: "Mr. Zheng, you can just say it directly. Why bother to beat around the bush and curse here?"
"Hahaha, Boss Lu, you have misunderstood me." Zheng Jirong spread his hands and said, "I just want to tell you that with this huge gap between the rich and the poor, the common people are holding back something in their hearts. A share of resentment.”
"In today's SH, various criminal incidents are emerging one after another, such as robberies, murders, and kidnappings. Such things are happening every day. Foreign devils may not be able to guarantee their own safety when they go out, let alone your gang leader. I'm afraid it may happen at any time. When encountering unexpected events, getting shot is a common occurrence."
After Lu Yuesheng listened to what he said, he frowned slightly involuntarily. What he said was either right or wrong. There were indeed a lot of crimes in Shanghai. There were countless murders and kidnappings almost every day. But these things They all did it for themselves!
The most the poor people can do is steal things. If they really let them take up knives and axes to vent their anger on the high-end gangs. Haha, if these people really have the courage, they won't be so poor that they won't be able to eat.
Although he knew very well that Zheng Jirong was making alarmist remarks, Lu Yuesheng still listened and said, "Then what should we do according to what you want, Boss Zheng?"
"Simple!"
Zheng Jirong snapped his fingers, smiled at them and said, "Do you think I'm worried about being assassinated?"
He pointed to the military camp outside and said loudly: "The Chief of Staff of the National Army, the Commander of the Songhu Garrison is my uncle, and the entire Northern Expeditionary Army is my backstage!"
"As long as you are willing to agree to my request, I will be your backer. Anyone who dares to touch you in Shanghai in the future will be in trouble with our Northern Expeditionary Army!"
"."
Seeing Zheng Jirong's impassioned look, Lu Yuesheng asked tentatively: "What is the request?"
Zheng Jirong smiled, took out a cigar and lit it, and said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing. I just came back from abroad not long ago, and I have always wanted to learn to do business in our country."
"Speaking of business," he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yuesheng and the two of them and said, "Boss Lu, your tobacco business is really booming. I heard that your tobacco company is the leader in the whole of Songhu, including Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Can you let the brothers I also want to take part, please teach me."
"Hahaha, wonderful! Just right, just right!"
After hearing this, Shen Zui clapped his hands and said with a smile, "But Brother Zheng, how can one share be enough? The lives of these two tycoons must be worth seven or eight shares, right?"
"Oh?" Zheng Jirong turned to look at him and asked, "Brother, do you also want to come in and learn how to do business?"
"Hey, let me forget it. Brother Zheng, the money you make is the same as our Northern Expedition making money. But let me tell you, since we are doing business, we should simply make it bigger, 80%!"
Shen Zui looked at Lu Yuesheng and Lu Yuesheng, whose faces were ashen, "You don't have any objections, do you?"
Seeing them chatting and laughing, as if they were sure of themselves, Lu Yuesheng was silent for a while but still couldn't hold back his inner dissatisfaction, "Are you trying to force others to do something difficult? What's the difference between doing this and robbing them openly?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
When Zheng Jirong heard what he said, he raised his head and laughed and said, "You, Lu Yuesheng, are also a tycoon after all. Why do you speak so childishly?"
He opened his arms and shouted to them: "What things in Shanghai were not stolen? I will discuss this with you in order to give your Qing Gang face. If you don't give me face, I will kill you now and take you with me tomorrow." If the gun goes to the company to sign a transfer contract, what can you do?"
"If you are wise, sign the contract for me now, otherwise."
Zheng Jirong spread his legs, pointed at the ground and smiled ferociously at the two of them: "Just kowtow to me three times and then crawl under my crotch! If you can make me happy, I will spare your life!"
"Hahaha, it's just right everywhere, just right!"
Shen Zui, who was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, clapped one after another: "After you drill Brother Shen's crotch, drill mine again! I really want to see you so-called tycoons acting like dogs!"
After listening to their words, Lu Yuesheng felt a surge of anger surge from the bottom of his heart, sweeping through his body instantly, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
As a Youth Gang tycoon who has dominated Shanghai for so many years, he has not been so insulted for a long time.
This strong impulse made him want to pick up a gun and die with these guys right now.
It's a pity that not only does he not have a gun now, he can't even decide whether to live or die by himself.
With a soft breath, Lu Yuesheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced a smile on his stiff face: "Boss Zheng, Chief Shen, our Qinggang has hundreds of thousands of members after all. If Brother Huang and I have some troubles, , then everyone’s face will not look good.”
"Damn it, so what if you have five strengths and six weaknesses? Are you using your youth gang to scare me?"
Shenzui directly smashed the gun on the table, "Let you gang members try to make trouble. Whoever dares to make trouble will be taken directly to the military camp and sent to the army!"
Zheng Jirong on the side also smiled disdainfully after hearing this. Although the Qing Gang claimed to have 400,000 people, they were 400,000 ordinary people, not an organized army of 400,000. Lu Yuesheng looked really confused when he used this to scare them.
Having said that, when he watched "SH Emperor" in his previous life, he felt that the movie was a bit ridiculous. Later in the movie, after ZJ warlord Lu Yongxiang went out of power, Lu Yuesheng dared to lead people to directly kidnap him when he was losing power. This kind of artistic processing was really against the law. Some facts.
A warlord, even if he goes out of power, is not something you, a high-ranking social leader, can touch.
Of course, situations like Shi Jianqiao's assassination of Sun Chuanfang are another matter.
"Boss Lu"
Zheng Jirong picked at his nails and said casually: "We don't have much time. You have to reply whether we agree or not. We brothers don't have time to fool around with you here."
"I"
Lu Yuesheng looked at Zheng Jirong and Shen Zui in front of him with pleading eyes, but one of them was drinking tea and the other was picking at his nails, and they were completely indifferent to him.
He then turned to look at Huang Huanggui beside him. The big brother who had accepted him as a disciple now looked defeated. After seeing his eyes, he just nodded to Lu Yuesheng without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuesheng sighed in frustration and resigned: "Sanxin Trading Company is not just the two of us, there is another major shareholder."
"Is that Yuan Xiaojun?"
Zheng Jirong interrupted directly: "I have heard of the names of the three tycoons of the Shanghai Youth Gang. Don't worry, I will deal with that guy."
Lu Yuesheng choked when he heard this, paused and then continued: "In addition to Xiao Jun, there is another person, Mr. Frank, the vice chairman of the Shanghai Bund Public Concession Council. He is not only our supplier, but also participates in the company. Got a share."
"Nowadays, smoking is prohibited in the British Concession. He is the only one in Shanghai who has sufficient supply of goods. If you want to really get the Sanxin Company, he is the person you should deal with most."
Zheng Jirong smiled disdainfully when he heard this, "Get rid of him? Who told you that Sanxin Company will still sell opium in the future? If this foreign devil listens to me, I will leave a share for him. If he dares to slap me in the face, I will Send him back to his hometown directly!”
"Don't sell opium?!!"
Lu Yuesheng was completely confused at this moment. The Sanxin Trading Company, a joint venture between the three tycoons of the Qing Gang, had a monopoly on the tobacco and soil trade in the entire Songhu area, and its monthly profits exceeded one million oceans.
If Zheng Jirong doesn't sell opium, what will his company do?
"Yes, not only will we not sell opium, I will also take the lead in banning smoking!"
Zheng Jirong said loudly: "Now our ZG is not only divided by internal warlords, but also has countless foreign enemies who are eyeing it and may take advantage of it at any time. If our people are still addicted to opium smoking and their bodies are getting weaker, how can we To resist foreign enemies?”
"Of course it doesn't matter to you bastards, but I won't be treated like a sinner who will be despised by future generations and will be infamy for eternity!"
After saying that, Zheng Jirong pointed at the two of them and said in an unquestionable tone: "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, Zhabei Sanchongtian Nightclub, call me all the bosses who are engaged in gray business in your Qinggang territory, and"
"I don't care what method you use, just invite Frank over here. If he doesn't come, I'm the only one asking you!"
After Lu Yuesheng and Huang Huanggui heard what he said, they looked at each other blankly and took a while to react.
"Mr. Zheng, what exactly do you want to do?"
"don’t worry"
Zheng Jirong smiled at them and said: "I just want to re-establish the rules and help everyone make more money."
Late at night, outside the headquarters gate.
With the support of their younger brother, Lu Yuesheng and Huang Huanggui limped towards the car waiting for them on the side of the road.
Looking at the backs of these two people, Shenzui smacked his lips twice, "I didn't expect that they were in good health and could still stand up after being severely tortured."
"Haha, they all came from a miserable background in the early years, but after gaining some power, they forgot their original intentions, and began to change their methods and use more ruthless and evil methods to squeeze the lower classes. They have long forgotten that they were once those who were oppressed. vulnerable groups.”
Zheng Jirong exhaled a puff of smoke and said with emotion: "I have seen a lot of people like this, not only now, but there will only be more and more in the future."
Shen Zui nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, then turned to point out: "Brother Zheng, I have to remind you first, teach these gangsters a lesson, it doesn't matter how ruthless your methods are, but for foreigners, especially those who Foreigners with official status cannot be so unscrupulous."
"That Frank is not an ordinary person. He is the vice chairman of the Public Settlement Council. This status is enough to talk to the commander."
"Don't worry, brother," Zheng Jirong said with a smile, "I have my own sense of responsibility for these things. By the way, I need you to help me again with something."
"Hey, you are just talking to yourself, so you can't stand outside. If you have any questions, just ask, brother, I will help you get it done."
Shen Zui patted his chest and assured that there was no reason why he was so close to Zheng Jirong. First of all, this guy might be his commander's niece-in-law in the future. Secondly, he had only known this guy for a few days, including this blackmail of Lu Yuesheng. He has already sent millions over the ocean. How could he not fawn over this God of Wealth?
"Actually, it's very simple. It's just that I'm a little inconvenient to do it."
Zheng Jirong leaned into his ear and whispered: "The one named Yuan Xiaojun."
