Chapter 439: Fighting a Lawsuit with a Foreigner (Part II)
Yu Qiaqing had just finished dinner and was lazily resting on a rattan chair, when she saw Gu Zhuxuan and them coming in, she waved her hand and asked them to sit down on the chair next to her, and asked, "I heard that the lawsuit has been fought, what are you going to do?" ”
Gu Zhuxuan roughly told him the content of Mu Ansu's conversation, and finally said: "Old Yu, the lawsuit has reached this point, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, I want to accompany the Ministry of Industry to the end." What do you think? ”
Yu Qiaqing opened her sleepy eyes, sat up straight and said, "Zhuxuan, you can only fight this lawsuit to the end, if it is soft, I am afraid that you will not even be able to get the hundreds of yuan of land silver." This battle will be won. You dare to bring the lawsuit to the Dali Yuan in London this time, which is the first case brought to London by ordinary Chinese since the Shanghai Concession was established. Because of the international audiovisual involved, the British may not be able to ignore it. Moreover, foreigners have an independent judiciary and are not subject to administrative interference, and will adjudicate in accordance with the law. I have studied, this ministry is at a loss, but you still have to go up by layer, first sue the British minister in Beijing, of course I will not sit idly by, I am the director of the Ministry of Industry, I can create some public opinion for you, so that the Ministry of Industry and the bureau are a little bit of a loss in this matter. In this way, those foreign directors will not be so vigorous in the future, and my words can be louder than before.
"Yes, during this time, I sent some disciples to go around and say that the people from the Ministry of Industry and Bureau accepted a large amount of bribes from Yongan Company." Du Yuesheng also said on the side.
Yu Qiaqing nodded: "This is the best." ”
On the third day, Gu Zhuxuan and Mu Ansu signed a power of attorney and appealed to the British Minister in Beijing, on the grounds that the judgment was unfair and that they should compensate for the losses and not give in.
As a result, the British Minister in Peking received this complaint and found it very difficult. This minister is an old bureaucrat, and he feels that the ministry is at a loss, and although the land was originally the official property of the ministry and bureau, it has been sold and signed a deed, so it is a personal private property, which is inviolable, and naturally has the right not to let it.
However, Yongan Company was registered with the Hong Kong government, and the Ministry of Industry Bureau promised to give him the land and signed a contract without consulting Gu Zhuxuan. Therefore, the minister ordered the secretary to inform the consul general of the discussion with the surname Gu and give a certain price to the concession.
On this day, Gu Zhuxuan was resting at home, thinking that he was waiting for the approval of the British Minister in Beijing, thinking that the complaint had been going up for more than a week, why was there no news? He was thinking about it when suddenly the servant said back and forth: "There is a foreigner who came to you with a translator and said that he is from the Ministry of Industry. ”
Gu Zhuxuan was stunned, but immediately thought that this might be Beijing's state of effect. So, he got up and ordered, "Please come downstairs to the little living room." ”
The foreigner came in with a smile on his face, and as soon as he sat down, after praising Gu Zhuxuan, he slowly turned to the topic: "Mr. Gu, regarding the matter of the Tianchan stage, the minister has notified the consul general and asked the Ministry of Industry and Bureau to properly solve it. I am Smith, a British director of the Ministry of Industry, and I have been authorized by the Ministry of Industry to consult with you and would like to hear your opinion. ”
Gu Zhuxuan usually has three points of fear for these foreigners, but since the lawsuit, he has already competed with them, and feels that these high-nosed, blue-eyed guys eat hard and not soft, the more you are afraid of him, the more he will bully you, so he is not afraid of them.
At this time, his voice also raised: "Mr. Smith, there are two requests and methods for me, one is not to move, and I will not ask you for any compensation. Second, if you have to move, you can also move, the location must be in the center of the city, and build a three-story theater for me. Otherwise, I will continue to fight the lawsuit! ”
The smile on Smith's face retracted, he straightened his face, and said very seriously: "Mr. Gu, is there a third acceptable way?" ”
Gu Zhuxuan thought for a moment and said, "I can't accept other methods. ”
Smith stood up abruptly and said, "I'm sorry that I can't come up with a better solution for Mr. Gu. However, I would like to advise Mr. Gu, I am afraid that the future solution may not meet your requirements, and you should not regret it at that time! ”
Gu Zhuxuan listened to the threat of the foreigners, and his anger came up, but he tried his best to slow down his tone and said: "My Gu Mou's lawsuit has reached this point, and it is a big deal to get all the belongings and become a deflated three." However, I will not back down. I would like to ask you to convey to the gentlemen of the Ministry of Industry that I cannot accept this kindness. ”…,
When Smith heard this, he had no choice but to walk away!
Less than a week after Smith left, Mu Ansu called Gu Zhuxuan to tell him that a reply from the British minister in Beijing had been sent to him, saying that the matter could not be resolved by the legation and that he could appeal to the Dali Court in London for a final ruling. Then, he asked Gu Zhuxuan for his opinion on whether to appeal to London according to the originally agreed steps.
On the phone, Gu Zhuxuan said categorically: "Lawyer Mu, just do it!" ”
Unexpectedly, the complaint arrived in London, and for two or three months, there was no news.
At this time, someone persuaded Gu Zhuxuan to say, forget it, the boat helps the boat, the water helps the water, and the foreigners always help the foreigners, and if the final ruling is still the same as the Ministry of Industry and the Consul General, it will make the toast and not eat and drink, and the gains outweigh the losses.
At this time, Gu Zhuxuan also regretted it a little, thinking that I, Gu Si, had been in Shanghai for many years, and finally got empty-handed and went back to my hometown in northern Jiangsu to eat potato porridge, which was probably fate. However, most of the capital of this theater is Wang Yuehua's, and the two got along, and they dragged her down, no matter how they said. He felt sad when he thought about it, so he walked to Wang Yuehua's house while the moonlight was bright.
Gu Zhuxuan went to the street and saw that pedestrians were carrying mooncake boxes, and then he thought that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. So, I bought some cooked vegetables and a bottle of Yanghe Daqu and walked to Wang Yuehua's house.
Since the lawsuit, Gu Zhuxuan has been in a bad mood, and he hasn't been to Wang Yuehua's house for a long time. As soon as they met, Wang Yuehua saw that he had lost a lot of weight, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Gu Zhuxuan was also moved, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiped away her tears and said: "Yuehua, I can't stand you, drag you in and suffer, this life is over, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to pay off my debts!" ”
Wang Yuehua was sad to hear it, and said affectionately: "Don't say such unpleasant things. Now that the verdict has not come down, no one knows what to do! It's that the lawsuit is lost, the family is lost, where you go, I will go, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry a flat shoulder and I will carry it away, I would rather accompany you to be a beggar for a lifetime, never break up! ”
Tribulation brings out true feelings, these words come from Wang Yuehua's heart, Gu Zhuxuan held Wang Yuehua's hands tightly, and said: "Good Yuehua, with your words, I will be blind to death!" ”
The two were teary-eyed, infinitely sentimental, and infinitely affectionate, and finally Wang Yuehua broke the silence and said: "Zhuxuan, it's useless for us to be sad, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's a reunion festival, let's have a drink and relieve boredom!" ”
As soon as her words fell, there was a very rapid knock on the door, Wang Yuehua hurriedly ran downstairs to open the door, it turned out to be a close confidant of Gu Zhuxuan, who ran out of breath and said breathlessly: "Fourth master, fourth master, Mr. Du is looking for you!" ”
Gu Zhuxuan was clever, but something big had happened: "What's the matter with me?" ”
"He came to you with Lawyer Mu and said that the verdict of the London Dali Court has come down."
"The verdict has come down?" Gu Zhuxuan's heart rose to his heart, and he immediately asked, "What is the result?" The result? "You won, Mr. Du said you won."
As soon as he heard that he had won, Gu Zhuxuan was overjoyed and jumped up excitedly, and then regardless of the presence of his subordinates in front of him, he picked up Wang Yuehua and circled around the house, and then said to Wang Yuehua: "Yuehua, I'll go and see it first." ”
When they arrived at the office room of the Tianchan stage, Du Yuesheng and Mu Ansu were sitting there. Seeing Gu Zhuxuan coming, they immediately handed over a document.
Gu Zhuxuan saw that it was a Chinese copy of the Dali Yuan's judgment. It reads: "Mr. Gu Zhuxuan, your appeal has been finalized by this court, and the Ministry of Industry Bureau has breached the contract and demolished illegally, and you should compensate for the loss of 100,000 yuan, and you will choose a new site to rebuild the Tianchan Stage." ”
At this time, a house was only a few hundred yuan, and 100,000 yuan was quite a considerable amount.
Gu Zhuxuan's fame resounded in Shanghai overnight, and Du Yuesheng's aura became even more dazzling because of the support and planning behind him.
Wang Hengyue didn't look at the wrong person.
Du Yuesheng is indeed a hooligan, but he is a hooligan with a conscience.
He knows what the words "etiquette and shame" mean, what is right and wrong, and what kind of trade-offs should be made at critical moments!
With the help of Wang Hengyue, Du Yuesheng finally became the new "tycoon" of Shanghai Tang in the shortest possible time, and this tycoon is not the same as Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling, he is a tycoon who helps the national government.
After learning about the last incident of the lawsuit with foreigners, Wang Hengyue, who was already in Nanjing at this time, sent a telegram to Du Yuesheng, with only three words on it:
"You're good!"
Enough, that's enough!
This is the president's highest evaluation of Wang Hengyue.
The old "tycoons" Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling on the beach have fallen or are falling, and the new tycoon Du Yuesheng has become a well-known person in Shanghai.
He and Yu Qiaqing have one thing in common, that is, after being summoned by Wang Hengyue, their ideology has completely changed, and the lawsuit won by the two of them together with foreigners is bound to be remembered by Shanghainese forever.
Wang Hengyue wants this effect:
Hooligans against hooligans, hooligans against foreigners!
Some things that they can't do on their own can be left to them to do, and there is no reason to deal with foreign forces in Shanghai.
No matter what kind of tycoon it is, there is only one purpose:
Serve Wang Hengyue and serve the national government, only in this way can you survive in Shanghai, continue to be your "tycoon", and let those halos continue to shroud your head!
