Chapter 115: Words and Prayers
As soon as the lights come on, the most charming side of the whole Shanghai Tang is gradually revealed to the world. High-rise buildings are lit up and neon plaques begin to flicker in a colorful way, decorating the entire night sky with great color and enchantment. As the night Paris of the East, she began to exude infinite charm at this moment, attracting countless heroes, high rollers, businessmen, tycoons, and lieutenant generals to join it, adding a conversation or staging a good story of purple drunken gold fans.
The rest of Gu Jiaban was sent back to the big world by the vehicle arranged by Huang Chujiu, and only Gu Chuanbiao, Gu Chuanqi, and Wang Mengxiong were taken into a car alone and came to a night club. Although it is not as prosperous as Paramount Gate, it still attracts many customers.
Sure enough, there was no good feast. This Huang Chujiu brought everyone here, I'm afraid there is something to ask for! ”
Wang Mengxiong didn't think that Gu Chuanbiao and Gu Chuanqi had anything to worry about, and thought that the goal of Boss Huang was himself. However, he is still just a child who is still in school, and as the person behind the Axe Gang, he has always hidden deeply, and he is not afraid that this Huang Boss will touch his heels. Thinking about it, only the matter of helping Chu Yigong showed a little hint, could it be that Boss Huang's family also encountered strange things.
In a good box, the door closes to keep out the noise outside. The waiter returned with the fruit bowl and drink, only Boss Huang and one of his bodyguards plus Wang Mengxiong.
"Boss Gu, I don't know if I should talk about something?"
The first to break the silence was Huang Chujiu, he was not polite, his butt was not yet hot, and he began to talk about business. Just now I was eating in the roof garden of the building outside the building, and this guy didn't leak his mouth at all, maybe because of the crowd. Now there are only these few people left in the house, and he is not afraid of spreading the word, so he takes the initiative to stir up the topic.
"Here's the job!"
Wang Mengxiong's spirit was shocked, and his originally somewhat boring thoughts were swept away, and he turned his attention to concentrate on it, intending to hear why this Boss Huang came.
"Boss Gu, then I won't be polite to you, just say it. I'm going to open a day and night bank downstairs in Big World, but I'm having some problems......"
Under Huang Chujiu's narration, Wang Mengxiong finally knew what his idea was. It turned out that Huang Chujiu was not satisfied with the current business, and hit the gambler with his idea. At that time, gambling was rampant in Shanghai. Whether it is a businessman or an ordinary person, whether it is a housewife or a dusty woman, they all fall in love with gambling with the heart of getting rich overnight. Once they have lost all their money, these people will think about taking it and turning it over. It's just that most casinos are open at night, when the banks are closed, and even if you have money, you can't withdraw it.
Huang Chujiu's day and night bank is aimed at this kind of gambler, who can deposit and withdraw cash at any time, and also lends usury. Gamblers are in a hurry to turn over their money, regardless of the cost, so that the business of the bank will be on fire day and night.
"Mr. Huang, your brain is really bright, but our Chuanqi is not married yet, except for saving her dowry, there is no money left, even if you want to buy shares, you will not take a fancy to that little money. So ......"
Gu Chuanbiao thought that Boss Huang was going to pull him into the shares, so he told the truth, and he also heard that the main business of this so-called day and night bank was usury. He just wants to make a name for the Gu family class, but he won't do that kind of immoral business.
"Boss Gu, where do you want to go? I, Huang, am worth millions, and I will care about your little money. ”
If Huang Chujiu hadn't asked for something, he would have scolded him at this time. It's just that he has been operating for a long time, and he has always been stuck in the Songhu Protector Envoy. This time, if he hadn't heard that Wang Fan of the Gu family class saved Chu Yigong's family, who were friends with Lu Yongxiang, by chance, he would not have taken the initiative to show goodwill.
Gu Chuanqi was stunned when he heard his brother talk about saving a dowry for him, he had never heard his brother say this, why did he suddenly talk about it in front of others like this. Seeing that she was about to stand up and distinguish with her brother, Wang Mengxiong, who was quick on the side, grabbed her arm and held it down. "Sister, you can eat an apple!"
Whether she liked it or not, a peeled apple was stuffed into her mouth, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
"Biao, I want Wang Fan to do a little favor and build a bridge between me and Chu Yigong. If we can open up the relationship between the Songhu military envoys and let my bank open smoothly day and night, I will be greatly grateful. ”
It turned out that the day and night bank that Huang Chujiu was going to open had already been connected in the French Concession, but it was stuck in the neck of the Songhu Protector Yamen. There are thousands of gambling stalls in Shanghai, and the relationship behind them is complicated. If you want to make money from gamblers, as the ultimate boss behind these gambling stalls, the Songhu Protector Yamen is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
It is said that with Huang Chujiu's financial resources and connections, he can find individual characters in the yamen of the protector army and give generous gifts to open the business smoothly. It's a pity that this Huang Chujiu didn't know when he offended the Songhu Protector Envoy, and as soon as the Yamen heard that it was him, it was as if money and wealth were hot things, and they didn't dare to accept it, let alone open a convenient door.
After begging for people to no avail, Huang Chujiu originally planned to give up this money-making business, but at this time, he heard that Wang Fan of the Gu family class not only did not disappear, but also climbed Gao Zhi'er and became Chu Yigong's guest and great benefactor. Others don't know Chu Yigong's ability, but he inquired in detail because he was blocked from opening a bank day and night this time, Chu Yigong and Lu Yongxiang, the protector of the army, have been friends for many years. If Chu Yigong can talk about this matter for him, it is not a big deal at all. But because I don't know each other, I can't take the money to smash it, right? That Chu Yigong's family is well-off, he doesn't care about money at all, people talk and laugh and have no white dealings, not that he can be bought with money as a businessman. Now that Wang Fan finally has such an opportunity, he wants to try to see if he can break the game.
"This ......" Gu Chuanbiao didn't dare to make the decision, just groaned, waiting for Wang Mengxiong to give a hint, whether to should or shouldn't. Huang Chujiu knew that although Wang Mengxiong was young, he was decisive when he met human traffickers and couldn't be regarded as ordinary children, so he turned his head and asked: "Wang Fan, uncle, I have encountered a difficulty, for the sake of the face of the guest and the host, can you do me a favor?" It's just matchmaking, if it happens, everything is easy to discuss! ”
"Everything is negotiable...... right?"
"Of course, as long as I, Huang Chujiu, do my best, I will definitely go all out!"
Huang Chujiu has this confidence, and he also believes that Wang Mengxiong is young and precocious, and he will not make any excessive demands. Otherwise, there will be money to be made and no life to spend, which is also a common thing in Shanghai.
"That's it! When I go to administer the needle to Master Chu on the weekend, I will say it. But if he's willing to help you, I can't guarantee you! ”
"Yes, I'm waiting for your good news!" Huang Chujiu let go of his worries, his playfulness gradually increased, and after drinking some wine, he beckoned a few popular singers and dancers to come in. Wang Mengxiong dragged the curious Gu Chuanqi to leave, Gu Chuanbiao didn't keep it, his eyes all fell on the few dusty women who came in, and Gu Chuanqi, who was reluctant to give up, glared desperately countless times, and was pulled away by Wang Mengxiong.
