Is there anything else you want to say?"

Pete stared at Rong Zhaotian with a gloomy face.

Three days have passed, but Rong Zhaotian still hasn't been able to find the batch of tobacco.

Du Yuesheng was also on the side, silent.

He and Rong Zhaotian went to Boss Guo, but the reply they received from Boss Guo made them a little disappointed.

Boss Guo's source came from a letter, which was placed in the concierge, but the concierge guard did not know who put it there.

He said that he went to the toilet to relieve his hands, and there was this letter on the table, and he chased it out to see it, and the street outside was empty.

The content of the letter is very simple, there is only one sentence: I have the goods you want.

Boss Guo originally didn't quite believe that this batch of goods was transferred by the British consul from the East India Company, and the person in charge of guarding it was the boss of the Shanghai General Patrol House and the largest gang in Shanghai.

However, to be on the safe side, he decided to make a trip to the consulate himself.

But this time, he found out that the content of the letter was actually true!

Someone really stole that batch of goods from the guards of the two greatest forces, black and white!

He was extremely angry about this, because he could suffer a huge loss.

High-quality tobacco soil has always been a sought-after item, let alone a top-of-the-line product like public class soil?

This is a powerful tool for tobacco houses to attract high-quality customers, and people are willing to come to you when they know that you have public class land here.

If you spend a little more money and ship it to the mainland, it will really be a price of fifty miles, an absolute hard currency.

Therefore, if you want to buy this kind of goods, you need to pay at least half of the payment in advance before you can place an order to get the goods.

However, this was the requirement of the East India Company, and in fact, if he wanted to order from Pete, not only did he need to pay the full amount in advance, but even the rebates returned to him had to be paid in advance, and he was willing to help with the order.

What? Don't want to? Then find someone else!

There are people who want to get rich, and there is no shortage of you one or two.

Therefore, Boss Guo prepaid all the payment and rebates before placing an order from Pete.

For this reason, he spent all the working capital in his hand and also borrowed some money from the bank, so that the funds did not break.

If something goes wrong with this shipment, then he will be in big trouble.

He is more anxious than Pete now, if the goods can't be delivered in time, and he can't sell and cash out in time, then he may not even be able to pay his buddy's salary.

What's even worse is that if the person who stole this batch of goods takes the goods and threatens him with the goods and asks him to pay for the ransom, then he will really break his bones.

After learning the actual situation, Boss Du and Rong Zhaotian were also out of line, the source was broken, they returned to the original point, and the three-day period expired.

Now if you want to solve this trouble, I'm afraid there is only one way left, that is, Du Yuesheng and Rong Zhaotian paid out of their own pockets to make up for the losses caused by this batch of goods.

This is not a small amount, and it is not so easy for Du Yuesheng to take it out, let alone Rong Zhaotian.

It stands to reason that his patrols have a salary and silver, as well as oil and water, unlike Du Yuesheng, who has to pay out of his own pocket to support his brothers, and he should be able to save a lot of money in his hands.

In fact, he did make a lot of money, but he spent more.

His hometown is Suqian, and there are many relatives in the family, all of whom point to him to feed.

Not only did he buy a huge garden house in Shanghai, but he also built a big mansion in and out of his hometown, and all the oil and water he had scavenged over the years was sent back to his hometown, and there was really not much money left in his hand.

Therefore, when Du Yuesheng proposed that both of them take responsibility together and resist half of the loss, he did not agree, which caused Du Yuesheng to be very dissatisfied with him.

It's really annoying to work with such a short-sighted guy, and I always think about using procrastination, can I solve the problem?

Now Pete asks, what do you do?

Rong Zhaotian really didn't know what to do, he lowered his head, his expression changed, but he still didn't say a word.

He also wants to resist half of the loss, but he also has to be able to take out so much money at once!

Boss Guo's eyebrows were burning, waiting for the money to use the goods, he couldn't come up with the money, it was useless to just promise!

Seeing his irresponsible appearance, Pete was also disappointed.

Sighing, Pete waved his hand: "Forget it, you go home! ”

"But ......"

Rong Zhaotian wanted to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Pete: "What else can it be? You can't get the goods back, and you can't get the money out, what's the use of asking you?"

Clenched his fists, Rong Zhaotian was full of anger, but he didn't dare to vent his losses, so he could only hold it in his heart, and his heart and liver hurt.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Excellency, there is a detective named Li Yu outside, who said that he has something very important to look for you. ”

"What is he doing here?"

Pete knew that Li Yu and the four roads were very special places in Shanghai, and he naturally knew something about the patron saints in this area.

Li Yu has a very strange temper, he doesn't give anyone face, and only focuses on his own one-third of an acre.

Restricted by the particularity of the geographical location of that area, although he is a consul, it is not good for Li Yu to dictate his work.

On weekdays, their well water does not interfere with river water, why did Li Yu suddenly come to him today?

Puzzled in his heart, he still opened his mouth and ordered: "Let him in." ”

Soon, the assistant brought Li Yu in.

"Inspector Li, why are you here? ”

For Li Yu, Pete is still relatively polite, Western culture pays attention to the strong as the king, and he is still willing to respect those who are capable.

Glancing at Rong Zhaotian on the side, Li Yu Zhengse said: "I came to find the chief inspector, last night, I found a major case on Hubin Road, but when I went to the chief patrol room, they said he came here, so I came over." ”

"Oh!"

Pete nodded, "You don't have to look for him, he's not the Inspector General anymore." ”

Hearing his words, Rong Zhaotian instantly gritted his teeth, and his heart was tyrannical and churning.

Pete didn't care, and said casually: "Since it is a case in the French Concession, you should go to the patrol house in the French Concession! The position of the chief inspector will be renegotiated and appointed at the next meeting of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry." ”

"That's good. ”

Li Yu didn't waste time, nodded directly and got up, ready to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait a minute. ”

Pete stopped him and asked, "You said that you discovered a major case last night, what kind of case did you, the patron saint of the four roads, come to report the case in person?"

Li Yu thought about it, and didn't hide it, Zhengse said: "I found out last night that someone was trading tobacco soil in private, it is the best public class soil, and the quantity is huge, I don't dare to deal with it without authorization, so I came to the chief inspector to deal with it." ”

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

The three people in the office exclaimed in surprise, Pete stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Li Yu and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Rong Zhaotian also rushed over and asked loudly, "How many are the numbers?"

Li Yu was a little puzzled by their reaction, but still nodded and replied: "Almost, I counted it, just one hundred boxes." ”
