Chapter 0656: Laughter Comes to an Abrupt End [2 More]
When a new day came, Li Cheng had just gotten up and washed up, and before he had breakfast, Liu Yuting walked into the restaurant with a smile, "Young master, there is a person outside who claims to be Wang Ximin, and he brought two young people to visit, saying that he wanted to ask the young master to save the overseas Chinese who fell into the hands of the island people. ”
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Let them in." ”
Overseas Chinese ......
This in itself is synonymous with a tragedy, and the various anti-Chinese movements in history are one of the most bleak representatives.
Last time, before he left the throne of the Republic of China, he had already discovered in advance that the most likely invasion target of the island country was Yin Ni, which could be regarded as a situation led by Li Cheng.
Without the Niuniu fleet hired by him, the fleet he bought and the Bald Eagle fleet, the most likely target for invasion of the island country is the Republic of China.
Since Yin Ni paid for the Republic of China, it is very likely, he asked Lu Yunsheng and others to spread the word to the outside world before leaving, hoping that the overseas Chinese and Chinese over there would be transferred in advance.
When I left, I heard that this matter was going well, right?
After a while, Li Cheng met Wang Ximin, who was about sixty years old.
After a few polite greetings, Wang Ximin and the three of them knelt down to ask for help.
Li Cheng signaled, and his own housekeeper went to help.
"Boss Li, it's all us who are confused, confused, you sent a message to let the expatriates transfer and leave Yinni temporarily, but there are always some fools who are reluctant to take charge of the family business, including some ...... in our family."
Yes, Boss Li let people speak in advance, but for people with big families and big businesses, it is not so easy to completely transfer assets.
There are many who left there in advance, more than eighty percent of the overseas Chinese, and there are many who stay, and those who stay, some are purely confused and do not want to leave, and more are still selling their property, wanting to sell most of their family business to get money before leaving.
Selling and selling, I met the island nation going south.
With Wang Ximin's complaint, Li Cheng slowly learned the specific details, and there are almost seven or eight thousand overseas Chinese in the hands of the army of the island country, and there are very few women, children or young children, and most of them are young and strong.
There is news in advance, even if you want to sell all the family property and then leave, you can also arrange in advance for the women and children in the family to go first, the Wang family is a typical example, according to Wang Ximin, their family is in the mud, all kinds of manors, factories, shops, etc., adding up to a total assets of millions of oceans.
In this era, millions of oceanic wealth is definitely superbly rich.
After the Wang family learned that the people of the island country had a tendency to go south, all the ordinary old, weak, and young children moved to Xinjiapo and Hong Kong Island first.
The Wang family is Wang Ximin with his two sons, and some male servants are presiding over the follow-up sale.
Then he was arrested by the islanders.
They had been in a concentration camp controlled by the island's soldiers, and they were only released two days ago.
"We fools, after being caught, we didn't suffer much abuse, we barely ate enough every day, and the rest is idle, and I heard that the upper echelons of the island country have been thinking about what to do with us, and there are many disagreements between them. ”
"Now I heard that Boss Li has returned to Shanghai, and after studying there for a few days, I decided to let a few of us represent all the captives and come to you for help, they opened their mouths and asked for a ransom of 200 million yen, although the old man knew that it had nothing to do with Boss Li, but ,......"
But what, he couldn't go on.
If it weren't for the fact that his two sons were still in the concentration camp, he wouldn't have the face to come here to Li Cheng for help.
When Wang Ximin couldn't continue, a young man behind him also said with embarrassment, "Boss Li, I know that this is an island country blackmailing, 200 million or something is definitely impossible, and you don't have the reason to pay the ransom for our relatives, we hope to use Boss Li's prestige to negotiate with them about the price." ”
"If we can cut the ransom to the point where we can pay it ourselves. ”
"By the way, my name is Zhang Chengyun, and I can't compare with Wang's family, but I also have hundreds of thousands of oceans of wealth, if we can bargain, let us pay tens of thousands of oceans to redeem our relatives, we will be satisfied. ”
Regardless of Wang Ximin or Zhang Chengyun, this kind of overseas Chinese are not stupid, they didn't think of letting Li Cheng take out a huge amount of ransom for them, they just wanted to take advantage of Li Cheng's prestige to help bargain.
Just playing an international joke, 7,000 or 8,000 people can demand a ransom of more than 200 million yuan? This is about the same as the extortion fees in Jiawu and Maguan.
As for the island countries, they said that it was more than 200 million, and the wealth of many overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese who had already been robbed of their local residences and shops was not a small amount.
Li Cheng suddenly said, "I know, don't worry, it's just a matter of bargaining, I will definitely help if I can." ”
Anyway, Yin Ni is being now, and with his guidance, helping to pay the ransom is a bit nonsense, and the bargaining should still be done.
Besides, when the national crisis is at hand, many of these overseas expatriates are also contributing.
After a warm reception, Li Cheng looked at his old housekeeper, "Go and pass a message to me, I want to meet the current person in charge of the island country in Shanghai, at least the person who can decide things." ”
Wang Ximin was only released from the concentration camp after the island country learned of his return, so it is normal for someone to negotiate with him.
More than half an hour later, Li Cheng met Eguchi Yoyuki in the living room.
This overseas Chinese businessman from the island country, who was still discussing with a few friends last night whether to engage in counterfeit banknotes, only learned today that the **** was sent out of the concentration camp to negotiate conditions with Li Cheng.
When I think of the conditions offered by the high-level, 200 million yuan?
No one expected Li Cheng to come up with so much money to ransom those thousands of overseas Chinese, but this is super good news, at least it is a chance for the island nation to breathe a sigh of relief in front of Li Cheng.
Therefore, Eguchi Yoshichi entered the living room and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Li Cheng and the three former captives.
I thought of Li Cheng before, I thought of the Ponzi scheme and the oppression of the fleet, how aggrieved I was, and how angry and hated the many overseas Chinese businessmen who died in eastern Guangdong in a daze, but now Jiangkou Yangzhi is so happy and happy.
He was still laughing and not speaking, putting pressure on Li Cheng.
Li Cheng frowned, "So arrogant? I don't like this negotiation object, kill him, and let the island country come and talk to someone else." ”
Eguchi Yoyuki's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face changed dramatically, "Li Cheng, it's okay for you to kill me, but don't you want the lives of those thousands of captives?"
"If you dare to kill one of me, the empire will definitely kill ten captives to avenge me!"
Li Cheng waved his hand speechlessly, like a fly, "It's better to say than to sing, I don't believe you can compare the value with 200 million ransom and kill him." ”
In a word, Eguchi Yoyuki was struck by lightning, yes, no matter how tough the empire was on the surface...... If it is really compared with money, how much is he worth of Jiangkou Yang?
Eguchi Yoyuki was still confused, and one of the guards who escorted him over sneered and beheaded him.
Li Mansion, of course, has a group of elites in the grain guard group to take turns to guard the security.
