The next day, when Chen Lenghe arrived at the bank, he was met by Sai Jinhua. www.biquge.info Although she is the nominal public relations manager of the bank, in fact, she is rarely seen in the bank. Most of the time, he arranged socials and held drinking parties in his own small mansion.

In addition to some old departments in Beijing, she also bought some potential seedlings in Songjiang and Yangzhou for cultivation, and wanted to build the small mansion into a new club. In the upper class of the concession, she relied on her relationship with Wadsey to be very open, and she also brought a lot of business to the bank, and she was also very well-informed.

As soon as the two met, Sai Jinhua pulled Chen Lenghe aside and whispered: "I got the news from Chief Inspector Bross that Boss Shen was killed. ”

"What?" Chen Lenghe was taken aback, "He...... Isn't he the leader of the gang, how could he ......?"

"The hound will eventually die on the mountain, and the general will inevitably die in battle, and it is a matter of time before someone like him is killed. The one who died with him was the fourth Pinxiang child. It was so ruthless, both of them were shot several times and then thrown into the river. Unexpectedly, the dead body was fished up and then reported to the police. The public concession doesn't really want to intervene in this kind of case, and the rivers and lakes have grievances, but at this time, the dragons on the rivers and lakes have no leader, and each hall is competing for the position of the leader, which is the most likely to cause problems. Especially since Boss Shen has such a deep friendship with us, you have to be careful, beware of someone moving their brains to you. ”

"I ...... Probably not. I'm not one of their cousins. But madam, you have to be careful. ”

Sai Jinhua shook her head and said: "It's okay with me, Bros sent me four foreign detectives to protect me, and no one dared to touch me." You, young, beautiful and banknote, but the ideal target for a gang of gangsters, these days have been living in seclusion, and it is not too late to come out to work after the market is too peaceful. The bank's affairs are just left to the little ones, and you don't go out in the villa, so as not to get sick. Take this. ”

A delicate small pistol was stuffed into Chen Lenghe's hand by Sai Jinhua, "Consul General Gray gave it, the power is not too great, but it is more than enough for self-defense, have you learned to use a gun?" ”

Chen Lenghe nodded, put the gun in his handbag, and attached great importance to the news that Sai Jinhua said. The approach of the Ge Ming party is indeed somewhat close to the Hui party, which is not exactly the same as the Ge Ming she imagined. Now he dares to stretch his hand into the concession, which will sooner or later lead to a diplomatic conflict, and foreigners will have to intervene. Really, when we meet later, we should talk to the two brothers and ask them to report to their superiors, and they can't be so nonsense.

For today's appointment, she has no intention of refusing it. Tao Junbao, the second young master Tao who is going to meet today, is the son of the four major silk merchant families in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, and his family is the head of the four major silk merchant families in Zhenjiang, and has a reputation in the southeast pole. Tao Er Gongzi is also a very decent character, not a fool, and there will be no problems.

What's more, she really wanted to help Ge Ming and overthrow the damned Jin rule as soon as possible. In hand, she has prepared 400,000 yuan in cash, which can be transferred to Ge Mingjun at any time, but as a businessman, her help will not be gratuitous, and Ge Mingjun needs to provide some support for her bank and the bank's industry. Everyone is mutually beneficial, and the business can continue.

In the chairman's office, two documents were signed, and Anne was asked to prepare the money. Seeing that the time was not rich, he left the office and got into his own special rickshaw. Zhao Guanhou was in Songjiang and left ten bodyguards for her, but it was inconvenient to take them to today's meeting.

Tao Junbao is not only a son of a wealthy family, but also a member of the new army, he served as a staff officer in the 18th Association in Zhenjiang, and had a teacher-student friendship with Lin Shuqing, the commander of the 18th Association, and he was also an important member of the Ge Ming Party. Lin's defection to Ge Ming has been completed, and what Zhao Guanhou left behind is indeed a soldier selected from the Dajin official army. It was inconvenient to meet the two times, so she got into the car alone and went straight to her destination.

Not long after the car left, Inspector Hua's car Fu Minglou rushed over, and on both sides of the car, there were several patrols. After meeting, the two said hello, remembering the murder of Shen Baosheng, Chen Lenghe asked, "Inspector Fu, are you going to organize a funeral for Mr. Shen?" ”

"Oh, that's not it, it's a friend who asked me to keep Miss Chen safe. You also know, there has been a lot of chaos in the concession recently, and there are crimes during the day, I'm afraid that you will have an accident, and with me, there will be no problem. ”

Seeing that Fu Minglou brought eight armed guards, Chen Lenghe was completely relieved, and when he came to the agreed place, it was a small apartment here in Yangshupu, Chen Bailu was waiting at the door, and when he saw his sister getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him, "The second son of Tao has arrived, just waiting for you, let's go in first." ”

Fu Minglou's police guard was at the door, four people on one side, standing with guns, with this kind of lineup of guards, which white-faced person would not dare to come here to invite the God of Wealth.

Walking through the kitchen into the living room (entering and exiting the back door of the Songjiang house, advanced kitchen, and then going to the living room), I saw that the living room of this small apartment was quite elegantly decorated. There is a thick carpet on the floor, but the room is not well lit, and there is no sunlight during the day. Add to that the velvet curtains, and the room is even darker. I lit a few oil lamps, but the light and darkness were uncertain, and I couldn't see clearly.

Chen Baiou was in the room, and when he saw Chen Lenghe coming, he hurriedly got up and said, "Little sister, are you here?" Inviting you here today is the intention of the two of us, and you must give us a face later......"

"Second brother, what you said is so strange, talking about business with Tao Ergongzi is something we have said a long time ago, how can it involve giving face, this is not unreasonable. Since the second prince is here, please invite him out, let's sit down and discuss, what kind of way to raise military funds, and come up with a suitable plan. After all, it's all for the sake of the country, and I won't deliberately make things difficult here. ”

The door of the inner room was opened, and a person walked out of the inner room, smiling as he walked, "Leng He, you are really as hearty, sincere, and patriotic as before." I know that you are different from ordinary financial people, in your heart, you always put the country first, not the interests first, just by what you said, it is enough to prove that we can cooperate. ”

Behind the man, a few more people rushed out into the living room. Through the dim light, Chen Lenghe only saw the appearance of the leader, and his face immediately became ugly, and the body that had already sat down stood up suddenly, staring at his brother, "What's going on?" Didn't you mean Second Young Master Tao? How could it be him? ”

Chen Bailu smiled embarrassedly, "Little sister, don't be anxious, you and David don't know each other, he is now the Minister of Finance of the Shanghai Military Mansion, talking about the economy, how can he be missing." Let me introduce you again, this is the governor of our Shanghai army, Chen Wuwei and Chen Dudu. ”

Chen Wuwei was behind Li David, wearing civilian clothes, not military uniforms, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses stuck on his face, and he was polite. At this time, he stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hello Miss Chen, I'm very happy to know you, let's count it, and we have to be considered our own family." For a long time, I have admired your name for a long time, but you are in the concession, and it is not easy to see you, if it is not for the jade of the egret and the white gull, it is not so easy for us to meet. ”

"Chen Dudu has won the award, Leng He is just an ordinary businessman, he doesn't dare to compare with the Dadu Governor, and he doesn't dare to work the Dadu Governor." Chen Lenghe's face was covered with frost, and his expression was cold and repulsive

"I don't know why the Metropolitan Governor invited me in the name of Tao Ergongzi, if you send an invitation in your own name, I will not refuse, after all, you are a hero who dares to risk your life to persuade the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to surrender. I've always had a good impression of heroes, and the contact between us should have been more harmonious and sincere. ”

"What Miss Chen instructed me was that I was not thoughtful, but in the future, we will have time to deal with each other, and it is not too late to make up for it slowly." Chen Wuwei said haha, sat down with David Li, and said to Chen Bailu: "Brother Bailu, please let them serve black tea." ”

"No need, I'm very busy in the bank, I don't have a lot of time here, if you have anything to say, please hurry up, and I don't have a good opinion of your Minister of Finance, and I have deep doubts about his credibility. If you want to get a loan from my bank, I think you have to have enough reliable capital as collateral. However, based on the position of the Chinese, I will personally donate 100,000 yuan to Ge Mingjun's official government as a military salary. ”

David Li smiled embarrassedly, "Leng He, listen to me, I really had a hard time at that time......"

"I'm sorry Mr. Li, I don't have any interest in your troubles, besides, please call me Mrs. Zhao or Chairman Chen."

Chen Wuwei smiled, "David, the misunderstanding between you and Miss Chen seems to be very deep, and you can't say it clearly." Miss Chen, listen to me. I heard Brother Ling say that you are a modern woman with progressive thinking and support Ge Ming, and you don't have a good impression of the Jin Tartars, which is the basis of our communication. So, I think we can definitely reach some consensus between us. Now you probably know about the situation in Ge Mingjun's mansion, but there are some situations that are confidential, and outsiders don't know about it, and Brother Ling may not know about it, so I decided to tell you. ”

He lit a cigarette, "Although the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has been conquered, the number of weapons in it is far less than we imagined, which is really hard to believe." The largest military factory in the south, the guns stored in it are only enough to arm a league, there are very few cannons, and the most is ammunition. Although the machine is available, it is difficult to start construction due to the shortage of funds, and the raw materials have to be purchased. If we want to capture Nanjing as soon as possible, we need to pay a large amount of military pay to the soldiers and purchase ordnance and materials. ”

Chen Lenghe nodded, "I know how important Jiang Ning is to the Jin Kingdom, please continue." ”

"Well, let's move on to the second question. Originally, we imported a sum of arms from Fusang through certain channels, but the ship was detained by the Zunfu and Albiang fleet in Shandong for no reason, which caused us to have a big problem in receiving arms. What needs to be resolved now is the first salary, and the second is the arms. ”

Chen Lenghe thought for a while, "Guanhou, I can send him a telegram, hoping that he can return your arms." He is not a hardcore follower of the Jin Kingdom, and I am sure that he will definitely support Ge Ming. As for military salaries, I can consider doing my best to help your army, but I hope that Governor Chen will understand that banks also have banking difficulties, and if you want to obtain a loan, you must provide sufficient guarantees......"

"Miss Chen, I think you misunderstood." Chen Wuwei interrupted Chen Lenghe's words, "I am not applying for a loan from your bank, but withdrawing money from your bank. ”

"Withdrawals? Do you have money in our bank? ”

"Absolutely. The Sichuan-Han Railway, with a salary of 3.5 million taels of silver, isn't it to entrust Ling Zun and the other three to operate it on their behalf? Shandong Zhengyuan, inheriting the debts of the previous Zhengyuan Qianzhuang, the three and a half million silver, naturally, should also be inherited, which is a very normal thing. The case of Shi Dianzhang was judged by fake gold, and we do not recognize it. The anointing of the Sichuan fathers and elders will not be eliminated because of a document of a fake gold official. ”

Chen Lenghe saw that the other party brought up the old matter again, and mentioned the 3.5 million road payment, and the chill in his eyes was even stronger, "I'm sorry, I don't think your army is qualified to claim the ownership of these 3.5 million taels of silver, no matter what the Jin Imperial Court does, it has nothing to do with the Songhu Military Mansion." ”

"Miss Chen, what you said is not right, Sichuan is also making trouble with Ge Ming right now, don't you know? I accept the entrustment of the Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association to withdraw this road money, and I have a power of attorney from them in my briefcase, do you need to take a look? ”

"No, this kind of power of attorney is worthless and has no legitimacy in itself. Chen Dudu started from the newspaper and should know some judicial common sense, if you think that such a document is eligible for withdrawal, then I don't think there is anything to talk about between us. ”

Li David said on the side: "Leng He, you listen to me." You told me on board that what you are seeking is not personal wealth, but the creation of a strong nation where everyone is equal. If you want to build such a country, only Mr. Sun has such ability, but even Mr. Sun needs the support of material foundation to achieve great things. These millions of silver are the painstaking efforts of the Sichuan fathers and elders, taken from the people and used by the people, and they should be taken out to help us as military funds, overthrow the rule of pseudo-gold, and create a new China. Don't you think it makes more sense to spend your money on that than on your business? ”

"Yes, my ideal is to build a country where the people are rich and strong, but the premise of such a country must be that the means are legal, and the bank will not take a piece of paper and ask the bank to finance it, which is the style of robbers, not the practice of a civilized country. If you want this money, you can go to the trial office and file a lawsuit, and we will see you in court. Also, as I said, please call me Chairman Chen or Mrs. Zhao instead of my name. ”

Seeing her talking, picking up her handbag and preparing to leave, Chen Wuwei smiled and said, "Miss Chen, our conversation is not over yet, it's not good to leave in such a hurry, right?" If you want to fight a lawsuit, I will accompany you, but this is a Chinese lawsuit, you can't let foreigners decide, please Miss Chen deign to go to Ge Mingjun Zhengfu, a Zhengfu composed of Chinese themselves, to handle this case, do you think?
