Chapter 22: The Youth Gang Gathers

Caifeng nodded, a little disappointed, but didn't say more. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chen Wenqiang secretly smiled bitterly, there can be a cohabitation relationship, and I believe Caifeng will not refuse. But this should be after the relationship with Yao Fangbao was severed, yes, both of them may understand that their relationship has come to an end, and they are only short of the final pick.

Although Chen Wenqiang used to give Yao Fangbao some money, he no longer needs it. Yao Fangbao has done a good job and has become a pillar in the women's Shaoxing opera troupe. She has her own house, hired an aunt, and a sedan chair carried by two people, and no longer relies on Chen Wenqiang financially.

Sometimes Chen Wenqiang really hopes that Yao Fangbao is still not as successful as this. She is either rehearsing or performing, betting and playing mahjong with the other actors in the troupe; She is often nervous, depressed, and irritable, and seems to be overstimulated or overly debauched.

Chen Wenqiang misses the former Yao Fangbao very much, childish, willful, and a little impulsive. Of course, sometimes he can still see the previous shadow in her, but more often than not, the strange her who has been overshadowed by the brilliance of a successful actor. Yao Fangbao, on the other hand, can't forget her debut and career, she likes to perform on the brightly lit stage, likes to listen to the thunderous sounds, and is happy and excited about her art and reputation as the day by day.

"You've said you're going to build a permanent fashion show and hold regular fashion shows." Caifeng asked seemingly casually, "If the Red Sleeve Pavilion doesn't plan to open a theater for a long time, it's also suitable." ”

Chen Wenqiang glanced at Caifeng with a smile, carefully thinking that he didn't hide it from him, but just changed a way to inquire about the relationship between him and Yao Fangbao. Obviously, Caifeng was also aware of the estrangement from Yao Fangbao during this time.

"There will be a more suitable place, and it will be soon." Chen Wenqiang walked back to his desk, sat back in his chair, and said slowly: "Not only to hold a fashion show, but also to invite professional photographers, art editors, and run a fashion magazine, so that the world can see the new styles of clothing." ”

The only regret is that there is no color photography yet, so black and white photos can only be colorized through post-production and then printed in magazines. But it's not an insurmountable obstacle either, and this way of doing business is new and unique, and it can quickly expand its impact.

As for the fashion show stage, Chen Wenqiang has already identified the Hechang Theater. Huang Jinrong and the Qinggang forces want to talk about tea and peace, and Chen Wenqiang also wants to end the matter completely. Time has dragged on for a long time. In order to arrange all affairs as much as possible before going to Nanyang, Chen Wenqiang must hurry up.

Even if he can't find a suitable overseas base, absorb overseas funds to expand his industrial and commercial empire, or when most people are not aware of the huge appreciation space of oil and rubber, they will preemptively start to make layouts, hoping to obtain amazing benefits in the future.

At the same time, the salt chemical industry, coal chemical industry, plus petrochemical industry, Chen Wenqiang's planning and vision of the chemical industry can be considered complete, can be considered complete, can be invented and manufactured more chemical products, and continue to lead the world in organic chemical industry.

Eating and talking about tea, as a means of resolving disputes on the rivers and lakes, is not all peaceful and civilized, and it is not uncommon for people to fight without a word. Therefore, both sides who come to eat and talk about tea must make preparations with both hands, and they must bring helpers to make sure that they can speak hard enough in the negotiation and ensure that they will not suffer losses after the negotiation collapses.

The location chosen for this dinner is difficult for both parties to choose, but one thing is certain, that is, it cannot be in the French Concession. Because Huang Jinrong has the power to patrol the house, and negotiating in the French Concession, the Green Gang will never want to fall into danger. Outside the French Concession, Huang Jinrong could only rely on his own underworld forces, which undoubtedly reduced his strength.

The two sides discussed and argued repeatedly, and finally decided on a place for negotiations. At the insistence of the Qing Gang, Huang Jinrong made concessions, and the place to eat tea was in Nanshi, Huajie, about two miles away from the 16th Paving Bridge at the boundary between China and Yang. The Green Gang is so insistent, naturally they have a reason.

Although it is said that the 16th Paved Bridge is the dividing line between the French Concession and the Chinese Territory, everyone knows what kind of virtue the Qing court government is. If the negotiation site is too close to the bridge, if Huang Jinrong asks the patrol to rush over, they will suffer a big loss. What can the government do? It's just negotiation, negotiation, and fart is useless.

There were seven or eight gang leaders who came to participate, either they were dealing in pornography, gambling, and drugs in the French Concession, or they were the tyrants of one side at the 16th Shop Wharf. They also invited Shen Gan, the boss of the Qinggang Rites, to preside, wanting to take the lead in the seniority and give the self-proclaimed Qinggang son Huang Jinrong a good look.

There are a lot of miscellaneous people, and the negotiation site Sihai Teahouse has suffered, and almost all the hotels and restaurants around it have been covered by the Qinggang characters. The best hotels are naturally for the leaders of the Green Gang and their cronies, and there are dozens of people who shout and drink all day long, and smoke and miasma.

Stars slowly appeared from the far depths of the pale sky, and where the sun had sunk, the red glow had not yet cleared, and the semicircular moon peeked out of the black web of branches and leaves.

Shen Gan is nearly seventy, and he was already planning to close the door to collect the mountain, but he was invited out to wade into this troubled water, and the old man was very unhappy in his heart. But because of the face of the same door, he couldn't stand the pleading of those people, so he had to reluctantly make it difficult. When he is older, he likes to be clean, he lives a little far away from the teahouse, only three or four cronies are with him, and he does not live with those young people.

The crutches tapped softly on the stone pavement, and the old man walked in the twilight. Two cronies were a few meters away from him, talking in a low voice.

At the bend in the river bank in front of him, two people were standing, both tall and dressed in ordinary clothes, and their eyes seemed to be looking at him. Shen Gan didn't care, there were a lot of children of the Green Gang around here, even if they didn't know him, no one dared to be arrogant when he reported his name.

When they got closer, Shen Gan also saw clearly, two big men, full of beards, very fierce. Moreover, the gaze of one of them was indeed fixed on him, not with respect or hostility, but with some scrutiny. With a secret snort in his nose, Shen Gan didn't want to meet them in general, and continued to walk along the path.

"Old Man Shen, please stay." Chen Wenqiang opened his mouth and took a step forward, although he did not block the road, but as soon as the distance was close, Shen Gan had no choice but to stop.

"You know me?" Shen Gan was slightly surprised, his previous judgment was a little wrong, looking at the number of etiquette and listening to the title, this person is not from the Green Gang.

"There aren't many Qinggang Lizi left." Chen Wenqiang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Old man Shen, please forgive me, since I have met, I want to talk to you in the future, can you take a step to speak?" ”
