Fang Dongliang was visiting Yu Qiaqing, and Fang Dongliang also came to take a stake in the Sino-Italian Steamship Company.

In addition to Ningbo's superior geographical location, more importantly, this group of Ningbo wealthy businessmen represented by Xiaogang Li and Camel Fang have extraordinary foresight, and can endure hardships, after decades of operation they have been deeply rooted in Shanghai.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the rich people in Shanghai in this era are from Ningbo!

Just like the countries of Southeast Asia in later generations, the wealth of the Chinese exceeded seventy percent of the total wealth!

Fang Dongliang had already finished talking to Yu Qiaqing about the shareholding, and the two of them were chatting in the living room.

Fang Dongliang first said: "President Yu, you said that this Broadway building is really strange, obviously it is a vicious dog bred by the Japanese, but they only specialize in fighting against gangs like the Qing Gang, but they don't touch those who do serious business, last time there was a group of spies from No. 76 who wanted to fish in troubled waters to blackmail our Fang's Silver No. 1, but it turned out that a group of spies from the Broadway Building passed by and actually beat up the spies of No. 76, do you think it's strange?" ”

"And that's not all." Yu Qiaqing waved his hand and said, "There are so many tickets tied to the Broadway Building, either gamblers, prostitutes or addicts, there is no good thing!" ”

"yes, I was just going to say that." Fang Dongliang said, "Ten days ago, when the Broadway building and the patrol camp first started to launch a looting operation, I was worried that it would cause a bloody storm on the beach, thinking that the scene of the 412 Qing Party in the 16th year of the Republic of China would be repeated, and I was even ready to close down the business, but I never thought about ......it."

Fang Dongliang's 412 purging of the party was an action launched by Chairman Chiang on April 12, the 16th year of the Republic of China, in which a large number of Communists in the Nationalist Army were arrested and killed.

For a time, the whole of Shanghai was bloody and bloody, and all industries were depressed.

"Don't talk about the past." Yu Qiaqing is a die-hard supporter of Chairman Chiang, so he didn't want to comment more on the harm caused by the April 12 Qing Party to Shanghai's industry and commerce, so he brought the topic back to the Broadway Building and said, "Even I didn't expect that the Broadway Building and the patrol camp dog-eat-dog actually made the Shanghai Haiqing River Banquet and public security become better than ever." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Fang Dongliang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "In the past, when I went to the street, I could always encounter ten or eight thefts and robberies, and even some people killed people on the street, but now, it is very difficult for you to find one or two little hooligans on the street, these hooligans have all been fucking arrested, and those who have not been arrested have disappeared." ”

Yu Qiaqing said: "This is also a blessing for the people of Shanghai, and I hope this situation can be maintained for a long time." ”

Fang Dongliang said: "Although the patrol battalion has accepted the incorporation of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, it is not surprising that it will do this, but Liang Wuyi, a gentleman, will also do this, which is very puzzling, President Yu, your old man is well-informed, can you tell me what is going on?" ”

"Hell knows." Yu Qiaqing shook his head and said, "If you have a chance, you should ask him face to face." ”

"Ask in person?" Fang Dongliang hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, "Then forget it, don't be like Huang Jinrong when the time comes, you will become a meat bun and beat a dog, and there will be no return." ”

Huang Jinrong went to the Broadway Building to find Liang Wuyi to seek justice, but he was kidnapped, which has become a joke in the whole Shanghai Tang, and until today, Huang Jinrong is still detained in the patrol camp and has not been released, it is said that Lin Guisheng came to the door several times to beg for help, and the patrol camp did not admit that Huang Jinrong was in their hands at all.

While he was talking, the butler came in and reported, "Master, the people patrolling the camp have come to urge again." ”

"Got it, you tell him, I'll be over right away." Yu Qiaqing waved his hand and sent the housekeeper away.

Fang Dongliang asked Yu Qiaqing, "President Yu, are you really planning to go to the patrol camp?" I advise you not to go, the things that the patrol camp does will deceive those people, who can't see it? Pretending to be the Axe Gang to rob the kidnapping tickets, there are two groups of people, one is the people from the Broadway Building, and the other is the people from the patrol camp. ”

"You think the common people can't see it?" Yu Qiaqing smiled and said, "The people's eyes are bright, they have already seen that the patrol camp is also pretending to be an axe gang to rob and kidnap tickets, but you also said just now that the patrol camp and Broadway buildings robbed unscrupulous businesses such as big smoke houses, gambling halls and prostitution houses, and the kidnappers were also gamblers, prostitutes, and addicts, so the people would only clap their hands and applaud, but would not scold them." ”

After a pause, Yu Qiaqing continued: "So, I have nothing to worry about, I am neither a gambler, nor a big smoker, and I haven't been to Fireworks Willow Lane for a long time, and the business is also a serious business, and the patrol camp will not take me at all, let alone tie up my ticket." ”

Fang Dongliang persuaded: "That being said, it's better to be careful after all." ”

"There's no need." After Yu Qiaqing finished speaking, he stood up, shook the robe on his body, and said, "No matter what, I am the president of the Shanghai Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, and they dare not do anything to me." ”

At that moment, Yu Qiaqing left the General Chamber of Commerce building and drove straight to the patrol camp.

When Yu Qiaqing arrived at the patrol camp, Xu Rui was already waiting in the office.

After the greetings, Xu Rui fell silent and looked at Yu Qiaqing fixedly across the big table.

In China's modern history, Yu Qiaqing is definitely a man of the hour, and in Shanghai, he is a big name who can make the Shanghai earthquake by stomping his feet, and it is said that Chairman Jiang was able to start with the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, and Yu Qiaqing is the leader of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, and it is even said that Yu Qiaqing is Hu Xueyan, Chairman Jiang!

Xu Rui was silent for a long time, and Yu Qiaqing didn't speak, just sat there with a smile.

After a long time, Xu Ruicai finally broke the silence and said, "President Yu, I invite you to come today, I really have something to ask for. ”

"Commander Xu has something to say, as long as it is within the scope of Yu's ability, he will definitely help with all his might." Yu Qiaqing's tone was not distant, but it was not warm either.

Xu Rui stared at Yu Qiaqing's eyes and said in a deep voice: "President Yu must know that in the past half month, our patrol camp has made a lot of money, so I want to use this money to do something beneficial." ”

Yu Qiaqing also said that Xu Rui wanted to use the money for investment, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Yu Qiaqing said: "If Commander Xu wants to make an investment, Yu has a few good projects in his hands, and he doesn't dare to guarantee the profit if the profit is too high, but it will never be a problem to make a double profit." ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "I don't make investments, I want to buy grain, or to be more precise, I want to buy rice!" ”

"Buy rice?" Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but be a little stunned when she heard this, although there are many refugees who have poured into the concession, but the rice in the market is still sufficient, but the price is a little more expensive, but your patrol camp has just made a lot of money, so you won't come to me to buy cheap rice in order to save so much money, right?

We prefer that the steamship company does not do retail business.

However, Yu Qiaqing still asked, "I don't know how much rice Commander Xu wants to buy?" ”

Yu Qiaqing thought to himself, if the other party just wanted to buy a few hundred or a thousand stones, he would send it directly, and a thousand stones of rice would be nothing more than 10,000 oceans, which is a small meaning.

However, the numbers Xu Rui said scared Yu Qiaqing a lot!

Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "Three million stones, I want to buy three million stones of rice!" ”

Liu Mei's previous calculation was 2.85 million stones, but Xu Rui wanted to leave some margin.

"What did you say?!" Yu Qiaqing asked in disbelief, "You mean, three million stones?!" ”

Yu Qiaqing thought that he had heard it wrong at first, but after looking at Xu Rui's face, he was sure that he had heard it correctly.

Yu Qiaqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while, and Xu Rui continued: "President Yu, can you do it?" ”

"Of course you can do it." Yu Qiaqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The question is, when do you want it?" ”

"The sooner the better, of course." Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "If you can provide three million stone rice to our patrol camp within half a month, it would be great. ”

"Half a month? It's impossible! Yu Qiaqing shouted, "If you want so much rice, I can only go to Southeast Asia to buy it, but from Shanghai to Southeast Asia, it will take half a month to go back and forth, and if you want to transport three million stone rice back to Shanghai at one time, it means that you need 24 10,000-ton freighters, and we don't have so many 10,000-ton freighters." ”

In fact, the Sino-Italian steamship company only has one 10,000-ton freighter, a dozen 100-ton freighters, and more than 20 100-ton freighters, but these freighters are usually only used to run inland rivers and lakes, and it is dangerous to run ocean freight.

The good news is that it's not typhoon season yet, and 100-ton freighters are barely able to go to sea.

But even so, the total capacity of the Sino-Italian steamship company is only about 50,000 tons.

This means that to transport 240,000 tons of rice back from Southeast Asia, it will take at least five round-trips, and five round-trips is 50 days, nearly two months.

This is only the time to take the ship, not to calculate the time to wait for the goods.

As soon as Yu Qiaqing said the time, Xu Rui's brows immediately frowned.

Two months? It's been delaying for too long! Xu Rui asked again: "Can't it be faster?" ”

"That's already the most optimistic estimate." Yu Qiaqing shook his head and said, "In fact, there may not be so much rice in the rice markets in Saigon, Yangon, Singapore and other places, and it will take time to transport it at that time. ”
