The weather in midsummer is changing rapidly, the sun is like fire for a while, the sky is cloudy for a while, the dazzling electric light is accompanied by the rumbling thunder, the downpour seems to be endless, wantonly washing the earth, and the river waves that are rolled up by the wind and rain are even more incessantly impacting the river bank.
The concession in the heavy rain was silent.
The establishment of the Shanghai Concession was because Mu Jiu of the Shanghai Daotai Palace was afraid that the Chinese and the British would mingle, make trouble, and affect his own black yarn hat, so he took the initiative to assign a barren piece of land on the Huangpu River in Shanghai County to the British as a concession. It is precisely because of this, strictly speaking, the establishment of the Shanghai Concession is only for foreigners to live, and its original intention is also to avoid the situation of "Chinese and foreign mixed residence", but the idea is good, but in fact, in addition to the strict implementation of the "Chinese are not allowed to stay in the concession" in the first few years, in the following years, first some Chinese servants stayed overnight, and then there were "extremely bold" prostitutes and others who stayed here, and the real first batch of people to live in the Shanghai Concession were compradors who originally lived in Shanghai County.
As one of the first batch of compradors to live in the concession, Liang Wenzuo preferred a clean and hygienic concession to the dirty and messy Shanghai County, which is why he built a house on this land, of course, all this cannot be done with great fanfare, because the Chinese living in the concession itself is illegal. However, in recent years, the government has rarely asked about this matter, after all, the government is now accustomed to the existence of foreigners.
In the past, every night, Liang Wenzuo would ponder the gains and losses of the day, but today he seemed a little uncertain, and he always seemed to have a feeling that something was going to happen.
What the hell is going on?
Liang Wenzuo thought about it in his heart, but he couldn't think of a reason, but he was always uncertain, his eyes looked outside, through the Western-style white glass window, there was no sound outside the window.
In the past three days, he has been waiting, waiting for the news of the price reduction of the "nephew", but instead of waiting for the price reduction, the other party also spread the rumor that he will die to the end, which means that the fish is dead.
The fish is dead and the net is broken, he is really not afraid! In the end, no matter what, the twenty acres of land by the river will still be obtained after all, but the problem is that the other party's calmness makes him a little worried, what are you worried about?
The feeling of uneasiness in Liang Wenzuo's heart became stronger and stronger, making him always feel as if something was going to happen, but what could it be?
It can't go on like this!
Why don't you go to the door now and ask for debt?
Whether it was the money he had lent before, or the money he had lent earlier, Liang Wenzuo did not let him agree on a repayment date, of course, his reason was "trustworthy", but in fact, it was for the convenience of forcing the debt.
"Just come to the door now......"
As soon as you go to the door, you will block all the roads!
Although Liang Wenzuo is a person who must compete with baht, as a businessman, he also understands that he must leave three points of leeway for himself, otherwise he will really make an enemy.
However, interests are always interests!
As long as he has that piece of land, he will not be worried about the rest of his life, perhaps, he can't open a dock like a foreigner, but as long as the land is in his hands, the future future will be unlimited, not to mention, isn't this Shanghai replacing Guangzhou little by little, the past thirteen lines of land, there is that piece of silver that is not worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?
And the current Shanghai Concession is not the thirteen lines of Shanghai!
Right!
That's it!
Thinking like this in his heart, just when Liang Wenzuo made a decision, someone over there reported it.
"Master, Master Liu is here."
Master Liu is naturally Liu Zichuan, and before the others came over, the voice came.
"Brother, brother, it seems that this surnamed Zhu really wants to carry it with us to the end!"
Liu Zichuan said as he sat on the chair and unceremoniously picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, obviously he was in a hurry along the way.
"I just came over there, and so far, he hasn't even taken out a bag of silk, brother, it looks like this guy has eaten the scales!"
It's not iron-hearted, here I only smell that foreign companies are collectively lowering prices on the pretext of a large number of raw silk entering Hong Kong, and the owner who is holding a small 2,000 pieces of raw silk over there does not let go of a pack, how not to make people anxious.
"Brother, you say, if he is determined not to let go of this raw silk, what should we do?"
Liang Wenzuo asked tentatively, if he was ruthless, he would not be as good as Liu Zichuan, hearing his question, Liu Zichuan gritted his teeth and said.
"If it doesn't work, let's ......"
Lowering his voice slightly, Liu Zichuan said his thoughts, but as soon as he finished speaking, Liang Wenzuo was taken aback and said in a loud voice.
"Dude, we're businessmen, deal with that kind of person......"
"Brother, just because we are businessmen, the ninth-rate people have to make friends, and the ninth-rate people have to know each other, sometimes, the ninth-rate people are more neat than the ninth-rate people!"
Xu Zichuan said this, picked up the teacup and took a sip again, and then said slowly.
"Brother, you say, what should you do? Personally come to the door to force that debt? Or is it to find someone to set a fire to the warehouse......"
Burn down the warehouse!
It's really a shame that your surname Liu can remember, if the warehouse burns down, then the silver you lent out will be lost, after all, in addition to the land, the warehouse is also valuable.
"Brother, how can you burn the warehouse, besides, what we want to do now is money, not to make money and kill people!"
If there is any difference with Liu Zichuan, it is that Liang Wenzuo still has some bottom lines, in his opinion, he is just a businessman.
"Hmph, look at you......"
With a sneer, Liu Zichuan said with a smile.
"Look at the one who scared you, you really want his life, what good does it do us to ask for his life? We've done so many things, what's the picture? Isn't it just a fortune! ”
said this, but Liu Zichuan muttered in his heart, if necessary, he would kill him, it was not impossible! But in any case, you have to get your hands on the real estate first.
"Brother, if he can do the first year of junior high school, we can do fifteen, this kid is now holding the gourd and not opening the scoop, if it drags on like this, we can get up with it, when the time comes, those foreigners will be blamed, but it will fall on us, brother, now is not the time to be kind!"
"Hey......"
Liu Zichuan's persuasion only made Liang Wenzuo sigh, and his face was full of compulsion. It took a while before he spoke.
"Since the elder brother said so, then do it according to the elder brother's method, but you must not hurt him, after all, no matter what, it is the only single seedling of Brother Zhu, no matter what, Brother Zhu was not thin to us back then, and we can't be the queen of others!"
Liang Wenzuo's hypocrisy fell in Liu Zichuan's eyes, which only made him laugh at himself in his heart, but he smiled on his face.
"Look at what you said, I don't need you to say it, I also know, after all, this is also our junior, isn't it, as for the current matter......"
After a pause, Liu Zichuan said with a smile.
"Speaking of the roots, it is also a lesson for the elders to teach the younger generations, give him a long memory, and save him from causing a big disaster in ......the future."
Everyone will say that when he came to Liu Zichuan, his calculations had all become the "care" of the elders for the younger generations, as if these things were done naturally, and Liang Wenzuo just shook his head and sighed, although he seemed unbearable, he had no intention of stopping it, for him, in the final analysis, it was the word that was the most important!
Drinking all the tea in the cup, Liu Zichuan said again.
"Okay, brother, I know that you are a kind-hearted person, this matter ...... Well, I'll leave it to my brother, and when the time comes, you and I will have to perform this play, let's do this......"
Under the oil lamp, the two of them put their heads against their heads and discussed softly what to do next......
