Dai Shengchang Steamship Company was originally a steamship company established in 1891 by Dai Yuanshi, a native of Zhejiang. By the beginning of the 20th century, it already had a capital of more than 100,000 silver, more than dozens of transport ships, and became the largest inland harbor shipping enterprise in China at that time.

However, Dai Yuanshi's son, Dai Yushu, colluded with the Japanese in 1905 to change his place of origin to Taiwan, and then his identity became a Japanese businessman, thus turning the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company into a Japanese enterprise and an important tool for the Japanese to invade China's transportation field.

The Japanese not only brought the operation plan of the Dai Sheng Chang Steamship Company into the overall framework of Japan's shipping policy toward China, but also, in order to ensure the interests of the Dai Sheng Chang Steamship Company, did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the Nissin Steamship Company, a real Japanese shipping enterprise in China, and ordered the Nissin Steamship Company to withdraw from all transportation routes that overlapped with the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company.

Since then, the Dai Sheng Chang Steamship Company has become the shipping overlord of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces with Shanghai as the center, and within the scope of Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces, not only the domestic steamship enterprises can not compete with the Dai Sheng Chang Steamship Company, but even the shipping companies of Britain, the United States, Japan and Germany cannot compete with the Dai Sheng Chang Steamship Company.

In addition to the two provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, the company's routes also extend to the provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi. Because the company's name is very confusing, many Chinese who do not know the inside story still think that it is a Chinese steamship company, so that this shipping company, which is actually Japanese, has made a lot of money in previous anti-Japanese activities.

Lin Jiangbei already knew the details of the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company when he was studying in the Police Correction Department, and when he went to the Hangzhou training class, he heard the instructor talk about the close relationship between the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company and the Japanese Navy.

If you can get in touch with Dai Zhenwu, the second ancestor of the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company, you will definitely be able to extract a lot of information about the Japanese from his mouth.

Thinking in his heart, Lin Jiangbei arched his hand to Dai Zhenwu and said: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Dai Zhenwu, the young owner of the famous Dai Shengchang Steamship Company, and you have admired it for a long time!" ”

Dai Zhen's beautiful setter on the 5th pole hit the 1st panchromatic marble into the bag with the help of the No. 9 two-color marble, and then asked Lin Jiangbei with a smile: "Yo, Boss Xu has actually heard of me?" ”

"Of course," Lin Jiangbei said, "who in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces would not know the name of the young owner of the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company?" ”

"I don't know much!" Dai Zhenwu picked up the powder again, wiped the marble, and said, "Boss Xu, don't say anything else, just talk about those stinky heads under your hands, Boss Xu, how many will know my name on someone?" "The so-called stinky head is another contempt for the rich and powerful people in Shanghai for the old men.

"Hehe, I mean someone with a bit of identity." Lin Jiangbei said with a smile, "Those old men under my command are illiterate, where do they have any qualifications to know the name of Young Master Dai?" ”

"Yo, Boss Xu is really good at talking!" Dai Zhenwu smiled, the force of his one-rod hitting the marble was lighter, and the No. 2 marble rolled to the mouth of the bag, shook twice, but did not roll off, and most of the marble was stuck on the right side of the bag.

"Wow five-slung chicken, how can this be? A little heavier, and this marble will go in! He waved his marblerod in frustration and cursed loudly.

"Yes, it would be nice if Young Master Dai started a little harder!" Lin Jiangbei smiled, "Thank you Young Master Dai for your mercy!" ”

While talking, Lin Jiangbei walked to the side of the stage, aimed at the white cue ball with his eyes, and found that the forehand was not very good to get off the pole, so he turned around, turned his back to the pachinko table, put the pachinko rod behind his back, leaned back slightly, and hit a beautiful back, the white cue ball rubbed the edge of the No. 9 two-color marble thinly, so the No. 9 marble ran on the No. 2 marble, only to hear a bang, the No. 9 marble squeezed the No. 2 marble away from the mouth of the bag at the same time, he also fell into the middle bag.

"Good rod method!" Dai Zhenwu's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his thumb at Lin Jiangbei, "Boss Xu turned out to be deeply hidden, and his rod method was so outstanding." ”

"Where, where, it's just a fluke!" Lin Jiangbei said as he waved the marble rod in his hand, and with a crackling sound, all the two-color marbles on the table were cleared by him, and the black No. 8 marbles were also neatly punched into the bottom pocket by him.

"Master, this is the master!" Dai Zhenwu gave Lin Jiangbei a thumbs up, and said to Xiao Fan next to him, "Xiao Fan, have you seen it, where is Boss Xu's rod method higher than yours?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded convincingly and said, "Young Master Dai, what you said is good. Boss Xu's rod method is indeed high, and I am far from being able to compare. ”

While speaking, Xiao Fan handed Lin Jiangbei two ten-yuan fiat currencies in his hand and said, "Boss Xu, this is your principal and profit, please keep it!" ”

"Thank you Young Master Dai for the reward!" Lin Jiangbei smiled and arched his hand at Dai Zhenwu, and then reached out and took the twenty yuan legal currency from Xiao Fan's hand.

"I'm not convinced, Boss Xu, let's do it again." Dai Zhenwu said, "The rules are still according to just now, ten yuan per plate." ”

"Good!" Lin Jiangbei smiled indifferently, since Dai Zhenwu was not afraid of losing, of course he would not be afraid of winning.

So the two of them each took out ten yuan of fiat currency and handed it to Xiao Fan, and started a new chaotic contest. The final result was a landslide victory for Lin Jiangbei.

Then three sets were played in a row, and Lin Jiangbei defeated Dai Zhenwu by a large score without surprise.

When the last game was over, Lin Jiangbei looked at the twenty yuan fiat currency that Xiao Fan handed in front of him, only took ten of them, and then pointed to the remaining ten yuan fiat currency and said to Xiao Fan: "This banknote is used to pay for the pachinko fee for these five sets, and the rest is your reward." ”

Xiao Fan couldn't help but be overjoyed, just five plates of marbles, he was able to receive a tip of five yuan, this Boss Xu is much more generous than Dai Zhenwu, a young owner!

"Thank you Boss Xu, thank you Boss Xu!" Xiao Fan bowed to Lin Jiangbei again and again.

"Hehe, Xiao Fan, if you want to thank Young Master Dai!" Lin Jiangbei arched his hand at Dai Zhenwu and said, "Young Master Dai, thank you for the reward." I still have something to do, so I won't play with you. Another day, let's make an appointment to fight again. ”

With that, Lin Jiangbei leaned the marble rod against the wall, reached out and took off the hat and scarf from the coat hook, and prepared to leave the pachinko room.

Dai Zhenwu looked at Lin Jiangbei, stretched out his hand to beckon Xiao Fan to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Fan, what do you think of this Boss Xu's pole method compared to Nissin Steamship Co., Ltd.'s Araki Oi?" ”

"I feel that Boss Xu should be slightly better. At worst, it's on par with Araki Oi. Xiao Fan said in a low voice.

"Well, that's pretty much what I feel!" Dai Zhenwu nodded, reached out and took off his hat from the hook, quickly caught up with Lin Jiangbei, and said with a smile: "Boss Xu, let's fight for a long time, I only know your surname Xu, and I don't know your name!" ”

"Hehe, Bingcheng, Xu Bingcheng." Lin Jiangbei said the name he asked Zhu Xuemo to help him forge for him.

"Xu Bingcheng, good name!" Dai Zhenwu praised and continued: "Boss Xu, it's time for dinner. It's fate that we can meet, why don't you let me be the east, let's have a light meal? ”

"Well," Lin Jiangbei hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master Dai, I won your money, wouldn't it be okay for you to be the east again?" If I don't come to do the east, please have a light meal with Master Dai. ”

"Hey, it's just a few dozen yuan, can it be counted as winning or losing?" Dai Zhenwu laughed and said, "Let me be the east!" If Boss Xu really doesn't want to go, it will be good for you to come to be the East next time! ”

Lin Jiangbei originally had the intention of befriending Dai Zhenwu, but when he saw that he couldn't refuse, he pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.

So Dai Zhen led Lin Jiangbei to the Peacock Restaurant on the top floor of the Licha Hotel, asked for a seat, and sat down with Lin Jiangbei.

After ordering the food, Dai Zhenwu took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom, and asked the waiter to call his own driver who was waiting in the car outside the hotel, and told the driver to immediately go to someone to inquire if Sister Gui's subordinates really had a new little dung head named Xu Bingcheng, and then returned to the elegant seat and ate and drank with Lin Jiangbei.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, time flies, and more than an hour has passed unconsciously.

During this period, Dai Zhen asked Lin Jiangbei a lot of things. Lin Jiangbei had originally prepared complete information and planned to deal with a professional spy like Araki Oi, and it was naturally no problem to use it to fool Dai Zhenwu.

When the dinner was about to end, Dai Zhenwu's driver also rushed back from outside, he asked the waiter to call Dai Zhenwu out, and reported the results of his inquiry to Dai Zhenwu, saying that it was indeed not wrong, Sister Gui was a new little dung head named Xu Bingcheng, and got the right to contract the fecal treatment of the entire road on Shanxi Road.

Seeing that everything was right, and it was not a game that others had done for him, Dai Zhenwu was completely relieved, turned back to the elegant seat, and said to Lin Jiangbei, who was picking his teeth: "Brother Bingcheng, I want to ask you to do me a favor, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"What's the busy?" Lin Jiangbei stopped picking his teeth and looked at Dai Zhenwu with a toothpick.

"Recently, a new Japanese man came to the pachinko room of the Recha Hotel, and he repeatedly humiliated me by relying on his ability to play pachinko. I want you to play a few games for him for me and help me out with this bad breath! Dai Zhenwu said.

"Young Master Dai, with your face, what kind of marble master can't be invited?" Lin Jiangbei shook his head and said, "Why do you want to let my two knives come forward?" ”

"Brother Bingcheng, don't be modest! If you are still a second knife at this level, then there will be no one who can play marbles in Quantang! Dai Zhenwu said, "To be honest, it's not that I don't want to ask others to stand up for me. However, the marblemasters here in Shanghai are all foreigners, and the other so-called Chinese masters, that is, Xiao Fan in the pachinko room, have also invited two or three over, but they are not the opponents of the Japanese at all. ”

"Look at me, I'm forced by that Araki Oi to have no choice, I don't dare to come to the pachinko room of the Licha Hotel at night, so I can only take advantage of the fact that there are not many guests in the afternoon, and sneak to the pachinko room to find Xiao Fan to hone my skills."

Araki Oi?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Lin Jiangbei's heart was shocked, but his face was indifferent, and he asked Dai Zhenwudao: "Young Master Dai, what do you say is the origin of this Araki Dajing?" What kind of grudge does he have with you, and why should he trouble you? ”

"Alas! This Araki Oi was the head of a labor agency that was newly sent to Shanghai by the Nissin Kisen Company. In the past, the Nissin Steamship Company was annoyed that our Hoopoe Chang Steamship Company had robbed them of their Nissin Steamship Company's business, so there were often some pinball masters who made appointments with me, but they couldn't beat me. But this Araki Oi's pinball level is too powerful. I fought with him for a few days in a row, not to mention any victories, and lost more than 5,000 yuan in fiat currency. ”

"This loss is still a small matter, the key is that this matter is too embarrassing, our Chinese, in their own territory, can not even kill him as a Japanese, how can we not say it?"

Dignified Chinese? At this time, you consider yourself a dignified Chinese? Why don't you mention that your Dai Shengchang Steamship Company borrowed the support of the Japanese to bully domestic steamship companies and monopolized the route, and the ticket price for the Chinese increased fivefold?

It is estimated that there is no Chinese marble master to help you out, but those Chinese marble masters do not think that you are Chinese at all, so they deliberately watched you and Araki Oi dog bite dog on the side, right?

As for you, I'm afraid it's not really disgusted to lose to Araki Oi, but it's distressed that you lost the 5,000 yuan fiat currency, right?

Thinking in his heart, Lin Jiangbei said: "Young Master Dai, this Araki Dajing is indeed too deceitful. To dare to be so arrogant on our Chinese territory, someone really needs to stand up and teach him a lesson. ”

"But, Young Master Dai, let's talk about it first. I can come forward to make an appointment with him, but I only represent myself, so that if I lose, it will not affect your reputation as Young Master Dai, let alone your Young Master Dai's loss. ”

"That's fine!" Dai Zhenwu thought about it, nodded and agreed, and said: "Anyway, it would be good for me to see Araki Oi lose, it's best to lose so much that he won't dare to come to the pachinko room of the Licha Hotel in the future, as for what money is not money, it doesn't matter." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his wrist and looked at the Longines gold watch in his hand, and said, "Look at this time, Araki Oi should have come." Let's go, Brother Bingcheng, you come with me to the pachinko room now and let out this evil breath for me! ”
