"Thanks to you just now, otherwise, it would not be them who are lying on the ground, but I am Jinrong. Chen Gongzi, you saved my golden life, I should thank you well, say, if you have any requirements that you need my help with, just ask! ”

"Boss Huang, I really have something to worry about, so let's do it, if Boss Huang has time tomorrow, can you go to the Wanguo Hotel to talk about it?"

Huang Jinrong hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "I said that Gongzi is extraordinary, and Huang will definitely visit Gongzi Chen tomorrow." ”

The scene just now shocked Adolf, the consul of the French Concession next to Huang Jinrong, into a cold sweat.

Adolf took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Chen Zhong: "Mr. Chen, you are so good that my daughter told me that she likes you very much and hopes that you will have the opportunity to come to my house." ”

Diana looked at Chen Zhong boldly, walked in front of her, hugged Chen Zhong gently, looked at Chen Zhong sweetly and smiled, and said in Chen Zhong's ear: "I really like you." Then he smiled and turned around and followed Adolf into the car.

It's late at night, the night of the magic capital is full of charm and weirdness, in this mysterious night, like a sleeping demon king in the previous life, quietly turning the code of life, affecting the restless hearts in this world.

The dance party at the Magic City Hotel has finally come to an end.

Back at the Wanguo Hotel, Chen Zhong thought, the French consul Adolf and Huang Jinrong are the most influential figures in Shanghai, this time, it is inconvenient to disclose their identities and talk about Chongming Island with the Qing court's Daotai, if through their relationship, leasing Chongming Island should be simpler, and it is more appropriate.

"Xiao Wan, in your opinion, who will be the one who will assassinate Huang Jinrong tonight?" Chen Zhong caressed Lin Meiniang's hair and said.

"It must have been done by Wu Dazui of the Jiangcheng Grand Theater!"

"Oh? How could you be so sure that Wu Tianyang did it? Chen Zhong looked at Lin Meiniang suspiciously.

"Because, Wu Tianyang is a local snake in Shanghai, since Huang Jinrong came to Shanghai from Suzhou and opened a theater, Wu Tianyang's Grand Theater has been greatly affected, so he has a grudge, and over the years, their grievances have become deeper and deeper."

"Oh, that's what it looks like." Chen Zhong said thoughtfully.

"Childe, you saved Huang Jinrong today, and you will soar in the future. This Huang Jinrong is a tycoon with righteous words, and this person is a gangster who will repay his kindness. ”

"Really? Xiaowan, they met me, I'm afraid the lucky one should be this green gang boss. Chen Zhong said with a faint smile.

Lin Meiniang looked at Chen Gongzi in front of her stupidly, she didn't know what kind of background the man in front of her was, and she always felt that he had an aura that made people look up.

Lin Meiniang's heart suddenly had an inexplicable panic, it was a feeling of dependence and fear of loss, Lin Meiniang knew that she had moved her true feelings for the man in front of her.

However, at this moment, Chen Zhong was thinking that if the project of Chongming Island in Shanghai was successfully operated, its natural geographical location could establish a military port, and the huge crystal ore stored underground could be exchanged for a steady stream of funds, so that it could effectively provide logistical support for the Hainan Fleet going north.

However, it is impossible to stay in Shanghai to do these things, so it is best to find a partner in Shanghai.

However, using a huge amount of money to buy Chongming Island, dig up the crystal ore under the island, and then sell these ores to Westerners and Japanese, this huge plan is not something that ordinary people can do.

This must have a relationship with the upper class society on the beach, and this person must also have a good relationship with the foreigners in the French Concession, and only through this person's relationship can he come into contact with the Susong Daotai at that time, and also have a relationship with these foreigners in the French Concession, this matter can work. The golden glory in front of him happens to have this condition.

In fact, Chen Zhong has been planning to buy or lease Chongming Island for a long time, and it is part of his entire national strategy. Regarding the situation on Chongming Island, Chen Zhong has already done a detailed understanding.

As early as 1898, when the Shanghai area was hit by a major earthquake, plague epidemic, and refugees were displaced, there was a very chaotic situation in Shanghai at that time.

Chongming Island, east of Shanghai, is even more miserable. The indigenous islanders were poor and miserable, and most of them went out to escape the famine to ask for food, and Chongming Island became a deserted island for a while.

Before the crossing, Chen Zhong vaguely recorded in military geography during his study at the military academy that a large number of crystal ores and rare gems were buried at the bottom of this Chongming Island. It's a great asset.

We Chinese love jade, while Westerners and Japanese love crystal, and their fanaticism for crystal has reached the point of obsession.

Therefore, Chen Zhong had long planned to mine and excavate these crystal ores that had been sleeping for billions of years after completing the purchase of Chongming Island.

It would be a great fortune to sell these crystal ores to Westerners and Japanese after they were initially processed.

Moreover, the natural geographical conditions of Chongming Island are good, and if a base is established on Chongming Island, it will be the most ideal military supply base for the northbound army.

At that time, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Susong Daotai Mansion was not a rich and oily yamen, coupled with the earthquake and plague, as well as the Qing government's continuous indemnity, it was already overstretched.

At this moment, if Huang Jinrong came forward to talk about leasing or purchasing, I want to believe that this Daotai Master of Su Song will definitely ask for it.

The next day, in the morning, Chen Zhong ordered Yanxia to invite Song Qiaohui, and he wanted to contact Liu Hong, the bank manager of Song Wenqing's Shanghai branch, and wait for Huang Jinrong to come over to discuss the purchase of Chongming Island.

Yan Xia went for about half an hour and returned to the Wanguo Hotel in a hurry, Chen Zhong saw Yan Xia coming back alone, and he had a premonition - Song Qiaohui had an accident.

If this is the case, Yan Xia told Chen Zhong that Song Qiaohui's aunt's Modu Grand Theater had a dispute with Jiangcheng Theater, and Song Qiaohui's brother-in-law Qiao Feng was still on his way back to Shanghai from his hometown in Suzhou, and Wu Tianyang of Jiangcheng Theater tied Song Qiaohui and her aunt.

Chen Zhong pondered for a while, he promised Song Wenqing to protect Song Qiaohui, and now that Miss Song was arrested, of course she couldn't sit idly by, so she hurriedly took Yan Xia out of the Wanguo Hotel and rushed to the Demon Capital Grand Theater.

Chen Zhong and they walked out of the hotel not far away, Miss Wu Fang ran over on a sunny day, and when she saw Chen Zhong, she cried and said: "Chen Gongzi, my young lady was captured by Wu Huailiang, I escaped from the chaos, before I came out, Sister Mei Niang asked me to come to you." ”

As soon as Chen Zhong heard this, he said to Yan Xia: "This damn Wu family father and son, everywhere I see them doing evil, how can Shanghai Tang let such a guy run rampant, this king is going to destroy them today!" ”
