In the past two days, the Retiro nightclub, which was full of customers, unexpectedly hung a notice sign at the door of the closure for rectification, which made other nightclub practitioners in Hong Kong breathe a sigh of relief, as if they felt that a boulder that had been pressing on their heads for a long time had been removed, giving them a chance to breathe.

After being patronized by Fu Yixing, the interior of the Rei Pond was in a mess at this time, and in a cleaned up painter's wing room on the second floor, Li Jiefa and several shareholders were sitting together for a meeting.

"I'm sorry, but I've decided to withdraw from Retiro." Deng Lianqing, chairman of the Hong Kong Workers' Welfare Association, sat at the round table, looked at Li Jufa and sighed, "At the beginning, I agreed to pay to help you, for the sake of your patriotism, but what you have done in the past two years has disappointed me, and now even the community is involved, I think I should get off the boat as soon as possible." ”

Li Jufa squeezed out a smile when he heard this: "Brother Qing, why don't you think about it again?" In fact, many rumors and rumors outside can't be believed, just like the Bashu side misunderstood that I was doing things for the devil soldiers, and it wasn't until Mr. Du opened his mouth that I was innocent, and many things can't just be seen on the surface. ”

"Don't you want to tell me that you opened a yellow arsenic factory behind your back, refined opium, and mutilated your compatriots because you endured humiliation?" Deng Lianqing glanced at Li Jufa coldly, and spoke again, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I wanted to withdraw from Liti a year ago, and I gave you an extra year to see if you would be restrained, and now it seems that I overestimated you." ”

Li Jufa opened his mouth: "Brother Qing, I ......"

Before he could say anything, Deng Lianqing had already stood up and said to himself: "The money I invested in Retiro at the beginning, the dividends you gave in the past two years have already been made up, so you don't have to withdraw shares to me, everyone will go their own way in the future." Also, it's best not to say the word Brother Qing in the future, I'm a serious businessman, and I don't want to be involved with a poisonous guy who actually kills his compatriots under the banner of patriotism. ”

In front of several shareholders in the wing, Deng Lianqing still said these two sentences mercilessly, and Li Jiefa's face suddenly changed color.

However, even if he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't dare to talk back to Deng Lianqing at all, putting aside Deng Lianqing's kindness to him back then, the chairman of the Workers' Welfare Association was still a big Chinese businessman with good roots, and had close trade contacts with the British.

After standing up and watching Deng Lianqing leave the room, Li Jufa forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, smiled again, and looked at the other six shareholders: "Let everyone laugh, Brother Qing may have misunderstood me a little, but I will bring some gifts to visit him in two days, and it will be no problem for everyone to explain the misunderstanding clearly." ”

The remaining six shareholders echoed and smiled, but they each made a calculation in their hearts.

"Mr. Referee, I also want to withdraw the shares of Castle Peak Hotel." The atmosphere in the room was a little cold, and a shareholder sitting opposite Li Jufa rubbed his hands and smiled, and broke the deadlock in a loud voice, "The bank has encountered some difficulties recently, and I don't have as much courage as Mr. Deng, so I hope that I can use the money from the withdrawal to turn around the bank's business." ”

Li Jufa looked at the shareholder sitting opposite with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, I completely understand." President Xu, tomorrow I will ask the treasurer to go to your office and slowly settle the account. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Adjudicator, thank you, Mr. Adjudicator." President Xu stood up and bowed repeatedly, arching his hand towards the remaining shareholders in the office, "Everyone, the junior brother is out of company first." ”

Seeing that President Xu was smiling and retreated out of the wing, the smile on Li Jufa's face gradually disappeared, and with a light clapping of his hands, a henchman immediately pushed the door in and came to him and bowed down.

"I don't want to see Xu Chenghan like this again, so I'll find a chance to give him a ride." Although Li Jufa was talking to his subordinates, his eyes looked around at the only five shareholders left on the round table, and there was coldness in his voice, "When you divide the money, you run fast, and you can't wait to stick your head in the crotch of your pants for a little thing, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" ”

This is obviously an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and Li Jiefa's warning words immediately made the other two shareholders in the room who had other thoughts change their faces, and swallowed the words that they were ready to withdraw back into their stomachs.

They don't have the same power as Deng Lianqing, so they can reprimand Li Jufa in person, and the business that they invested in Li Jufa in the first place was naturally to make money. However, although Li Jufa has not treated them badly over the years, in fact, these shareholders have also come forward to solve a lot of troubles for Li Jufa, and they just take what they need.

It's just that this time Li Jufa seems to have encountered more trouble than before, not only his own base camp was smashed by people in the community, but also by the police force, and even their business is facing surprise inspections, and it is normal for someone to have different intentions in this situation.

Of course, among these shareholders, there are also people who are bent on tying themselves to the same boat as Li Jufa.

"Mr. Referee, Lieutenant Charles asked me to tell you, and he will help you solve the problems of the Hong Kong Police Force." A young Chinese man took in the reactions of other shareholders, and after listening to Li Jufa's harsh words, he just opened his mouth to help.

This outspoken Chinese young man surnamed Qi, who came to the meeting this time, represented one of Li Jufa's business partners, Lieutenant Charles of the British Royal Air Force Squadron.

In 1946, as the general manager of the Retiro Garden Nightclub, Li Jufa cooperated with the Hong Kong Amateur Swimming Group and the British Air Force Club and other groups to hold the first Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant in Retiro, and then hooked up with the lieutenant of the Air Force Squadron.

Unlike the other shareholders here, Lieutenant Charles not only owns shares in the Liti Nightclub and the Castle Peak Hotel, but is also a partner in his arsenic business, which he has repeatedly acted as an umbrella.

Li Jufa's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he stared at the Chinese young man and asked, "Secretary Qi, did Mr. Lieutenant really say that?" ”

The secretary surnamed Qi nodded at Li Jufa, and said in front of everyone: "As long as there will be no problems in Mr. Jufa's factory, Lieutenant Charles can guarantee that in half a month at most, the two chief inspectors of the police force will come to the door in person, please forgive them." ”

……

After leaving the Retiro, Li Jufa sat in the car with a spring breeze on his face.

What do nightclubs and hotels do when they close down? As long as one's yellow arsenic can continue to be produced, it is a way to make money more than smuggling. A group of turtle head snakes also want to fight with themselves? I don't know what to do!

"Lawyer Chen, the driver will take you to the dock, you take the boat home first, I have other things to deal with." The Rolls-Royce sedan drove out of King's Road, and Li said to Chen Jiahao in the passenger seat.

Chen Jiahao swallowed his saliva, secretly clenched his fists, and guessed in his heart that Li Jufa was going to the factory now, but he was just unwilling to take him with him.

In the past two days, he has eaten and lived with Li Jufa, but the police have never come to the door again, so he has no chance to perform, Chen Jiahao feels that if he doesn't take the initiative to fight, I'm afraid he will never have a chance again.

"Mr. Referee, I actually think I should stay with you." Taking a deep breath, Chen Jiahao turned his face to look at Li Jufa, and quickly said the reason, his voice was extremely calm, "The China Hong Kong Daily suspended publication the day before yesterday, and after resuming publication yesterday, the newspaper explained the reason for the suspension, saying that the newspaper reporter was injured by members of the triad, and all kinds of fingers are very clear. In this case, the police are likely to ask you to assist in the investigation at any time, and it will be much safer to have me by your side. ”

After listening to Chen Jiahao's words, Li Jiefa stared at him for a long time, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face: "You mean that China Hong Kong Daily is doing something again?" The boss of this newspaper is really interesting, first cut off my financial route, and now he still wants to take advantage of the fire to rob? Hey, you don't have to drive to the factory, turn around and go back to North Point to see Brother Kun, I want to see if he is the only newspaper in Hong Kong that can speak out! ”

Seeing the driver turn around, Chen Jiahao, who turned around, was full of chagrin in his heart, and he didn't notice that Li Jiefa behind him was staring at him with an inexplicable look.

When did a Teochew lawyer who works on a salary become so concerned about himself?
