Chapter 41: Arms (5)
Sousuke Ono's initial goal in Nanjing was not to really sell goods and make money, but to recruit a few trusted allies, and he knew that he had to rely on friends to go out in China. Fastest updates
Sosuke Ono wanted to deal with the Xiao family and the Yan family most in Nanjing, and the actual heads of these two families were Yan Shiji, but as Yan Shiji, he didn't want to have any intersection with the Japanese at all. So, Sousuke Ono retreated and began to make friends with businessmen on the second level of Nanjing, which led to Chen Jingzhi's cooperation in selling the shares of Taiping Department Store to them; In fact, Sousuke Ono also knew that his cooperation with Chen Jingzhi was achieved by combining grace and power.
Chen Jingzhi had some problems in his business, which caused the Chen family's capital turnover to be poor, but he could not come out publicly, because he was afraid that once someone knew that the Chen family had problems, the Chen family's cooperative bank would definitely be run. Sousuke Ono's timely appearance saved the Chen family's life, so naturally he could only choose to cooperate with them. Although Chen Jingzhi later understood that the crises encountered by the Chen family were actually deliberately caused by the Japanese, at this point, there was no regret at all, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
The businessmen on the second level of Nanjing also include the Zhao family, who ran the ship, the Leng family, who was born in the Qing Gang, and Wang Tianyu, the axe gang who has risen rapidly in the past two or three years by relying on Anhui refugees.
The Zhao family has a close relationship with the Yan family and the Xiao family, and it is not so easy to move; And Wang Tianyu is a very shrewd person, not to mention that he suffered the loss of Sosuke Ono when he was in Tianjin, so it is almost impossible to let him be fooled again. What's more, Sosuke Ono has always been faintly aware that Wang Tianyu also has the support of a powerful force behind him, and he can eat it regardless of the underworld or the white way. Therefore, Sousuke Ono still put his main energy on the Leng family in Nanjing.
As for the cooperation between Sosuke Ono and Feng Xuan, in Sosuke Ono's view, it is just a deal that is better than nothing, after all, Kangbao Pharmacy can only be regarded as the fourth level of Nanjing in his mind.
The situation of the Leng family can be seen by anyone, and now it is Leng Jinghan's hand, he has beaten his father into the cold palace and monopolized the power of Huachang Company. In the beginning, Sosuke Ono did contact Leng Jinghan, and even when Leng Jinghan was at his most difficult, especially when his shipyard project, which had the potential to make a lot of profits, was in a dilemma due to the Chen family's withdrawal, he did not agree to cooperate with Sosuke Ono. This made Sousuke Ono very unhappy, and later it was rumored that Leng Jinghan actually joined forces with Wang Tianyu to run a shipyard, this blow made Sosuke Ono choke in his throat, and he once again aimed at Leng Rubing, who had retreated into the background, perhaps, this was a chess eye for him to win the Leng family in Nanjing.
Although Leng Rubing was robbed of power by his son, he will definitely not be a person who is content and respects Lao Tzu in his bones, not to mention that whether it is in Huachang Company or the Youth Gang in Nanjing, he still has many elders and supporters, if he wants to regain his power from his son, it is not impossible.
Through Chen Jingzhi's relationship, Sousuke Ono finally hooked up with Leng Rubing, and had a long talk with him, and Sousuke Ono finally persuaded the discouraged Leng Rubing, and offered to help Leng Rubing regain the management rights of Huachang Company. However, Leng Rubing politely refused Sousuke Ono's help, for him, dealing with his son is his family affair, and he doesn't need outsiders to interfere.
After being cold and cold, the past six months have not been satisfactory, mainly because he is used to being lavish, and he is very dissatisfied with his son only giving him so little living expenses every month, and he doesn't even dare to play too big.
In fact, Leng Jinghan gave him 200 yuan a month, which was enough for him and his four aunts to eat, wear, live and travel.
The human heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, and now, it is as cold as ice.
Leng Rubing is ready to use one of the usual methods of the Green Gang to seize power, that is, force.
Therefore, Leng Rubing asked Sosuke Ono to provide him with some guns and ammunition, and he wanted to hold a family festival in the name of his Nanjing Youth Gang elder to take down his son and those who supported his son to oust him. When he heard that Sosuke Ono had 3,000 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition on the way, and was about to arrive in Nanjing, Leng Rubing immediately became greedy, and he asked Sosuke Ono to sell him all these guns and ammunition.
Leng Rubing's ambition is not only aimed at his son, but also at more wealthy people in Nanjing. Nanjing is the capital, and no ordinary people are allowed to own guns, but in fact, at this time, all parts of the country are the same, there are guns and soldiers, and there are soldiers and wealth.
It is good to keep 3,000 guns, even if you buy them and hide them, and then take them out and use them later when you have the opportunity; It's really not good, you can still sell it, and the more the materials controlled by the national government, the more expensive they have always become.
Leng Rubing was not worried that he could not afford to buy these arms, and after Leng Shuhan hung him up, he also heard that Huachang's financial situation had gradually improved, and by the end of the year, he would not only turn around his losses, but also be able to make a profit. In any case, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and he believed that if he could get the munitions, he would be able to afford it.
Sousuke Ono also believes in the strength of the Leng family, and of course he also believes in Leng Rubing's strength, and is more willing to see the Leng family's father and son kill each other, and then Leng Rubing will be in charge of the family and lean towards him in an all-round way. Even if Leng Rubing does not succeed, it can effectively weaken the strength of the Qinggang and Huachang Company.
Therefore, Sousuke Ono happily agreed to Leng Rubing's request, but he would not make a loss-making deal, and these arms must be paid for with one hand and delivered with the other. Leng Rubing only bought 100 guns and 300 rounds of ammunition with his own private money, and these 100 guns were enough to threaten his son who went to the Hongmen banquet to return the power taken from him.
Sosuke Ono promised to keep the guns and ammunition for him, and once Leng Rubing succeeded in seizing power, then all the arms would be sold to Huachang Company. After all, the price offered by Leng Rubing was more attractive than Feng Xuan's.

Xiao Linghu followed Su Xianmin out of Qilin Gate and came in the direction of Niutou Mountain, and while he was walking, suddenly Su Xianmin stopped, Xiao Linghu was still a little strange, and saw Feng Xuan standing on the side of the road, as if waiting for the car.
"What a coincidence!" Feng Xuan came to them with a smile.
"Yes! What a coincidence! Su Xianmin said casually.
