Chapter 739: Get on board
Huang Xiao'an is now the director of the public office of the Haigu Municipal Public Office, and he personally sent daily necessities to Lu Chengzhou, which is indeed very face-saving for Lu Chengzhou.
Besides, he still sent it in the middle of the night, and it was even more rare to sit on the boat and wait for Lu Chengzhou to come back.
The reason why Lu Chengzhou has such treatment is not because he is a member of the military police detachment, but because of his special relationship with Wen Peishi.
Wen Pei's gabion method of winning people's hearts is still very clever, although Lu Chengzhou has protected him, but he also completed the task at that time, he can still remember this situation, and if he is replaced by someone else, he will indeed be very moved.
"Thank you so much for the trouble of sending it in person for such weather." Lu Chengzhou moved his things to his boat and invited Huang Xiao'an to the study.
The water in his house is at least more than a meter deep, and if the courtyard door is opened, the boat can drive directly to the stairs.
"There's no way, Mayor Wen takes care of you, you have to come here in person." Huang Xiao'an said with a smile.
Before coming, in fact, he also went to Mogawa Hidekazu's house, assistant officers, secret agencies, consulates, and resident groups to send supplies for condolences.
Lu Chengzhou was actually the last in line, but Wen Peishi confessed that these things could not be overnight, even if it was late, they had to be delivered to Lu Chengzhou in person.
Of course, the reason why Huang Xiao'an has to wait until Lu Chengzhou also has his own little abacus.
He knew that Lu Chengzhou could speak in front of the Japanese, and the affairs of the city office seemed to be Wen Peishi's master, but in fact, the Japanese had to nod their heads in everything.
Haigu has set up a flood relief association to nominally provide relief to the victims, but in fact, everyone knows that it is a place rich in oil and water.
"Hundreds of thousands of people in Haigu have been affected by the disaster, how is the disaster relief of the Municipal Office?" Lu Chengzhou handed Huang Xiaoan a cigarette and asked casually.
"In the North Station and in the city, several shelters have been set up. But there are too many people affected by the disaster, and they can only guarantee to eat some heterozygous gruel, and it is definitely impossible to eat full. When Huang Xiao'an talked about this, there was no pity in his eyes.
For the people of the municipal office, the flood is an opportunity to make a fortune.
"Hundreds of thousands of victims, only a few shelters, is it enough?" Lu Chengzhou asked worriedly.
"What's the solution, it's overcrowded everywhere. In fact, the main thing is that there is not enough food. It is said that Gong Qi Yihuan, the assistant of the Social Affairs Bureau, is preparing to buy millet from Shanxi to help the people. Huang Xiao'an suddenly lowered his voice and said.
"Gong Qi Yihuan can buy millet from Yamamoto?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise.
Now that the grain has been controlled, it is very difficult to bring in grain from outside, and even if it does, it will have to pass the Japanese pass.
"He had been in Taiyuan, he was familiar with the situation in Shanxi, and he was Japanese. I know that Director Lu has a wide range of doors, can you help me talk to Gong Qi Yihuan? Huang Xiao'an asked.
"You're the head of the public utility now, and you have a lot of contact with him, and you still use me to speak?" Lu Chengzhou said.
"I, the head of the public service, am nothing in the eyes of the Japanese." Huang Xiao'an said self-deprecatingly.
Don't say that he, the director of public affairs, even Wen Peishi, if he hadn't been talking to the Japanese from time to time, would he be able to sit firmly in the mayor's seat?
"You want to get involved?" Lu Chengzhou asked, at this time, if you buy grain, as long as you can transport it back to Haigu, you will definitely be able to make a fortune.
However, the best time to harvest grain has now passed.
Before that, Lu Chengzhou told Fu Qi to save more grain, and Fu Qi used almost all the funds that the military could use to buy grain.
Even the Daxing grocery store has hoarded a lot of food.
If you have food at home, you can not panic in your heart, if you don't have food, even if you have thousands of family wealth, what's the use?
"How can I have any money, I asked for my friend." Huang Xiao'an said in disguise.
In fact, he has already inquired, Gong Qi Yihuan is already selecting rice merchants, each with a minimum of 50,000 yuan, and a total principal of 1 million yuan, until it is full.
If this million yuan is exchanged for grain and transported to Haigu, it can be sold for at least 3 million yuan.
However, Huang Xiao'an could only raise 30,000 yuan, and he wanted to ask Lu Chengzhou to help him walk, and also get on the big boat of Gong Qi Yihuan to make a fortune.
In order to increase the price of trams and tap water, Huang Xiaoan asked Lu Chengzhou to help.
He believed that Lu Chengzhou could also help him this time, otherwise, he would not have been waiting outside Lu Chengzhou's house in the middle of the night.
"I'm not very familiar with Gong Qi Yihuan, I can help you inquire, and I will do my best, but I don't know if I can do it." Lu Chengzhou said humbly.
This kind of thing, he will never be full of words.
"Thank you so much Director Lu." Huang Xiaoan said.
He could only raise 30,000 yuan, and Gong Qi Yihuan asked for 50,000 yuan to start.
Moreover, even if he raises 50,000 yuan, Gong Qi Yihuan may not accept it, because some rice merchants may sell 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.
"Everyone is a friend, and it's so polite to see each other." Lu Chengzhou pretended to be displeased and said.
"This is really an opportunity, if Director Lu is interested, he should also participate in it." Huang Xiao'an said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou's tone gave him the illusion that Lu Chengzhou attached great importance to his own affairs.
"Let's talk about it." Lu Chengzhou smiled and didn't agree to Huang Xiao'an immediately.
He didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune, but he didn't want to do what he wasn't sure of.
After sending Huang Xiaoan away, Lu Chengzhou drove the boat out.
Lu Chengzhou has lived in the British Concession for five years, not to mention his jurisdiction, even the entire British Concession, he is very familiar with every street.
He drove the boat, and he didn't even need to turn on the lights, just the faint starlight in the sky, he could row exactly where he wanted to go.
Lu Chengzhou was going to Zhang Baotou's house, the British Concession was flooded, thousands of rickshaws, and life was immediately sad.
They like it to rain because business is good on rainy days, but they don't like to be flooded, the water is not knee-deep, otherwise, their rickshaw will not be able to solicit customers.
Zhang Baotou lived in a bungalow, the house had long been flooded, and he couldn't afford to buy a boat, so he could only put two wooden planks on the house as a bed, and the family squeezed on it, and they didn't dare to turn over when they slept at night, otherwise they might fall into the water.
Rickshaws can't pull them, so they can only make a living by moving goods at the docks, and they can only sell coolies.
But many times, even if you get up early and are greedy and tired, like a dog, you still can't make a lot of money, and it is difficult to support yourself.
If there is a family, the whole family will starve.
"Zhang Baotou." Lu Chengzhou said loudly outside the door.
When he was in the police department, Zhang Baotou was his bag to inquire, and a lot of information in the intelligence room came from Zhang Baotou.
"Who?" Zhang Baotou heard someone shouting to him inside, and he didn't hear Lu Chengzhou's voice for a while.
The water in his house is one meter deep, and when guests come, they can only come out.
"It's me, Lu Chengzhou."
Hearing Lu Chengzhou's three words, Zhang Baotou's body suddenly froze in the water.
