Chapter Seventy-One: Getting Rich

"The task was personally ordered by Mr. Dai, and the operation must be top secret, and the handling must be clean. www.biquge.info If an accident occurs, it must not be admitted that this is an arrangement of the party-state, and it can only be said that it is a personal vendetta, and the proportion is ......" The cigarette was sandwiched in the hand of Wang Xinheng, the head of the South China Region of the Military Command, and he did not smoke it, and all his attention was focused on the explanation of the task. He listened attentively, but his face was full of indifference, and the cigarette was smoked one after another, making the room smoky.

"This was personally arranged by Mr. Dai." Seeing that the other party was like this, Wang Xinheng emphasized another sentence after speaking. "The target is not the pampered Hongmen boss, he lives in the US military camp, rarely comes out, and it is impossible to go to the bathhouse on time every day."

"I know." The man who smoked was Jensen, the outlier among the military commanders. He has always acted alone, hoeing and punishing evil only needs one shot, and he never misses, and a few months ago Ji Yunqing, the Hongmen boss in Shanghai, ate his life with a shot. Considering that the Manila assassination would alarm the United States, and that the government was trying to gain the support of the Americans, the only person who could send it was Jensen.

"I'm not going to miss it." Jensen smiled lightly, the cigarette was snuffed out in the ashtray, and the man picked up his coat and hat and was about to leave. When I went out, the phone on the desk rang.

"Wait a minute." The door opened from the outside, and Li Chongshi, the mayor of Hong Kong, broke in, and Wang Xinheng immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"Li Hansheng has arrived in Hong Kong!" Although Wang Xinheng stopped him, Li Chongshi was still in a hurry to tell him. He knew Jensen's mission, the weapon of the assassination, the small palm pistol, which he had prepared.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Wang Xinheng quickly hung up the phone, "Li Hansheng wants to meet reporters, and the location is at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Chinese Chamber of Commerce? Which clubhouse in the middle of Des Voeux Road? "Li Chongshi has been in Hong Kong for some days, and he knows about the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is the top club in Hong Kong and the center for Hong Kong celebrities to exchange and socialize." How could he go to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce? ”

"I can't care so much." Wang Xinheng couldn't understand how Li Kongrong could go to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't need to care, he said to Li Chongshi: "You immediately notify your people to go there immediately to arrange, don't bring a gun." After that, he looked at Jensen again, "There are all celebrities in Hong Kong, and the guards must be tight, are you sure?" ”

"As long as the gun can be brought in, I'm sure." A small silver agent pistol appeared in Jensen's hand, spun around quickly, and then disappeared into his palm. "And tell me how to retreat, I haven't been to that place."

"You give him a map of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce immediately," Wang Xinheng hesitated for a moment before saying to Li Chongshi, "The phone said that the press conference will be held at eight o'clock in the evening, and we will ...... There are still three o'clock and three quarters of an hour. ”

"It's too late." Hearing that there was only so much time, Li Chongshi was the first to shake his head, "The gun may not be able to be delivered." ”

"No, it's just in time. I'll let people in. Wang Xinheng finally made a decision: he would rather lose Liu Dayan, the editor of Zhujiang Daily, than assassinate Li Kongrong in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"T.V, why are you so interested in this Li Hansheng?" Ou Weiguo, the manager of the Bank of Guangdong, who received the notice of the annual party of Zhou Jun, chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, just said it casually, and Song Ziwen immediately asked his family to prepare to go to the hall in the evening to attend the meeting.

"Do you know how many assets he has in his name?" Seeing that Ou Weiguo was so surprised, Song Ziwen smiled and asked a question.

"He's probably a naval officer." Ou Weiguo speculated, "If you are not a general, how much money can you have?" 100,000 Hong Kong dollars? ”

"Huh. 100,000 Hong Kong dollars? "Ou Weiguo's assets are only 500,000 US dollars, and many of them are still empty. Song Ziwen said with a smile: "The Bamboo Dragonfly Aircraft Company invested in the United States, as well as the New China Defense Company of the Shipbuilding Group, are his private companies; He was also the one who made a surge of more than $10 million on Wall Street in the past few months, how much money do you say he has? To tell the truth, the foreign exchange in Dean Kong's hand is less than a fraction of what he has, you say, does this person want to meet? ”

"Ahemβ€”β€”, ahem... Cough... cough ......" Song Ziwen said in detail, Ou Weiguo was immediately frightened, he took a sip of tea in his mouth and forgot to swallow it, all choked into his lungs, coughing and shaking the ground. Fortunately, he stopped coughing after a while, blushed and said, "How can he be so rich?" Could it really be that the shipwreck was dug up? ”

"Be careful." Song Ziwen looked at him very funny, and politely handed him a napkin. "The navy is indeed digging up ancient shipwrecks, and I am ...... I saw the Western jewelry that had been dug up there. It's not just a shipwreck in Western Europe, I heard that they also found a Tang Dynasty shipwreck, and the Tang Dynasty porcelain auction in New York earlier this year was hosted by the Navy. ”

"Since this man is so rich, what other Japanese is he fighting?" Ou Weiguo asked very casually, and after asking, he felt that his words were inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "T.V, what do you say, what will he say at night?" ”

The two questions asked by Ou Weiguo made Song Ziwen think deeply. When he first knew the amount of assets in Li Kongrong's name, he also had this idea, but then he rationally felt that the money was only in Li Kongrong's name, and in fact it belonged to the entire navy. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that it is not right, the so-called navy has been abolished, even if it is not Li Kongrong alone, there are many people, why haven't these people divided the money privately? And this time, the military commander just killed the people in the navy, and Li Kongrong also executed two spies to avenge his subordinates, why did he appear in Hong Kong? Something to do with the UK? What is he going to say in the guild hall? Is it to attack Chongqing?

Song Ziwen, who had lived in Hong Kong for a long time, did not see the hope of a comeback until Kong Lingkan left Hong Kong - in addition to the negative resignation in 1933, there was another thing he also messed up, that is, the Songhu Conference persuaded Chang Kaishen to borrow the League of Nations to mediate. The League of Nations mediated, but it was a mediation without any binding force, which made Chang Kaishen faintly hateful, and in order to survive those few days, many elite divisions were disabled. Fortunately, Chongqing once again attached importance to lobbying the United States to obtain assistance, and even if Kong Lingkan was not kicked out of Hong Kong by the British authorities in Hong Kong, his comeback would be natural. At this time, he was waiting for Chairman Lin Sen to set off from Chongqing and then go to the United States together, and one of the important tasks of going to the United States was to gather the navy, and to be precise, to find a way to obtain the huge assets of the navy in the United States.

Song Ziwen pondered Li Kongrong and the navy after Ou Weiguo left, while Li Kongrong was holding his daughter and teaching her to sing nursery rhymes - the child only spoke Ningbo dialect and could not speak Hokkien, and he wanted to vigorously correct this phenomenon. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Bashu fell, picking up the Shu head mouse. ”

"Fall down, pick up... Shutou Mouse. The child's voice is crisp, and in just a few days, she is already very clingy to her father.

"Peel off the skin, make the jacket. Daddy, milk is begging. Li Kongrong read it again and kissed his daughter on the red cheek.

"Peel off the skin, make the jacket. Dad Bu is ......" Hokkien dialect is really obscure, and children can't pick it up after a while.

"Oh, what are you singing?" Xu Xiaoxin, who had changed into a dress, walked over with a smile, and she reached out to take the child. "It's not too early, brother-in-law, aren't you going to change your clothes?"

When you go to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to attend the party, you naturally have to wear a dress, there are all celebrities, and they all go in pairs, Li Kongrong is going to take his wife with him, Xu Xiaoxin is also going, and Zeng Guosheng and his wife are also going. "I'll hug her again and teach this song again."

"Hehe, I don't understand all of it." Xu Xiaoxin smiled and sat down next to her, "Otherwise, I can also teach Nannan." ”

"Don't understand?" Li Kongrong said: "In the Min language, 'Shu' means 'one', and 'Bu' means 'want'. Translated into Chinese, it means 'fall and pick up a big mouse.' I peeled it and made it into a jacket, my father wanted it, and my grandmother came to ask for it. The last two sentences are 'The beggar brother is not enough, the beggar brother is just right', which means that the elder brother is not big enough, and the younger brother is just right. ”

Li Kongrong said complicated, Xu Xiaoxin shook her head when she heard it, and she said: "Fujian dialect is really difficult to learn. Ah, is there such a big mouse? ”

"Hard to learn?" Li Kongrong smiled, "Language is also a weapon, the more difficult it is to learn, the more powerful, in the future I will order the navy not to speak Chinese but only Hokkien, so that Chongqing can listen to some people's worries and be angry with them!" ”

"Giggle......" Xu Xiaoxin only laughed when she heard it, she looked at Li Kongrong now and looked completely different from before, she used to feel extremely strange and rude, but after getting acquainted, she felt more and more that her sister's choice was right, this is a great man who can be relied on with peace of mind. Isn't there any corruption among the Fujianese? Fujianese also have spies. ”

"Of course there is, but Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, is from Zhejiang, Chang Kaishen is also from Zhejiang, Guangdong has the Huangpu Military Academy, Guangxi has the Gui department, Hunan and Jiangxi have peasant associations, and the southern provinces are better than Yunnan and Guizhou."

Li Kongrong was talking, and Xu Peipei, who was dressed in a new way, came out of it, and she smiled, "Everything is your Fujian's good." Go and change your clothes, my general, or you'll be late. ”

"Hmm. Pretty. Li Kongrong looked at his wife intently and praised loudly. It's just that the tone of voice made Xu Xiaoxin get goosebumps all over his body, but fortunately, he only praised it and got up to change his clothes, leaving the two sisters to giggle in private.

The Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1899 by Ho Tung, but in 1880, Chinese businessmen began to prepare for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and the Association. The Governor's fears did not come true, and after the establishment of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, not only did they not fight against the Governor, but they also assisted the British government in many cases - in the Shaji Massacre in 1925, many Chinese businessmen were completely on the side of the government, and some representatives even sent condolences to the British soldiers who shot and killed the procession, and they were extremely worried that the British would abandon Hong Kong as they gave up the Wuhan Concession.

Of course, Li Kongrong did not know these secrets, and the reason why he chose the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was because he was concerned about the capital of Hong Kong and the entire Nanyang region, just as he thought that night: why didn't the navy set up a financial company to assist in the transfer of this capital to the United States? If this thing can really be done, then the collection of all Chinese capital investment or speculation, will definitely produce a worldwide Chinese consortium in the future, and the navy will also have a reliable cash flow, he does not want to just play with electric fan aircraft carriers.

With such a 'beautiful' idea, Li Kongrong rushed to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce at 7:10, and Sir Ho Tung, who had long since stepped down as chairman of the club, was already waiting outside the club with many celebrities. As soon as the car stopped, Li Kongrong had not yet gotten out of the car, and everyone's applause rang out. After Li Kongrong got out of the car, he greeted everyone, but he did not immediately shake hands with He Dong and others, but first pulled his wife out of the car. Xu Peipei was wearing a Western-style evening dress, and as soon as she came out of the applause, she suddenly paused, and then slapped more violently, naturally, the crowd was mixed with an amazing Cantonese.

"Pepe, this is Sir Ho Tung; Sir, my wife, Little Man. Li Kongrong introduced to his wife the highly respected He Dong among these people, but he looked at Song Ziwen and his wife standing next to He Dong, his dress was simple, wing-collared shirt, black bow tie, slightly old brown dress, and his wife Zhang Leyi was holding his arm.

"It's really a talented woman and a beautiful hero." He Dong was also taken aback by Xu Peipei's appearance, he knew who Xu Peipei was, but he didn't expect that the owner of this famous flower was Li Kongrong. "I will also introduce, this is Chairman Zhou Junnian, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, this is Mrs. Zhou, and this ...... "He Dong is Zhou Junnian on the left, and Song Ziwen is on the right. He also knew that there was a faint discord between the navy and Chongqing, but since Song Ziwen was here and standing behind him, he had to introduce him in public.

"Of course I know the famous Mr. Song." Li Kongrong took the initiative to greet Song Ziwen, shook hands and asked with a smile: "When will Mr. Song go to the United States?" ”

"To the United States?" Song Ziwen looked at Li Kongrong with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to see through what kind of person he was, and didn't want him to ask directly to go to the United States, so he couldn't help but feel relieved. "Hong Kong is very good, so you don't have to go to the United States." He laughed.

"Heh......" Li Kongrong also smiled and said, "I'm worried that it will be too late if I don't go to the United States." Then he turned and left.

Although there are many restrictions on the membership of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, there are more than 1,000 members in Hong Kong, but fortunately, many people did not get the news this time, and only a few hundred people came in the evening. After Li Kongrong shook hands with more than a dozen people, he walked into the club with He Dong. Tonight, before meeting with reporters at eight o'clock, he has a speech.

As the host of the party, He Dong was the first to speak on stage: "Everyone, yesterday morning, after reading the newspaper, I was worried about the domestic war situation, and I always hoped that someone could give me some guidance, or go to the temple to ask the evil luck (laughter), who expected that Hansheng would come in as soon as the door opened." As soon as Qu saw me, he asked, 'Sir Ho, do you want to get rich?' ’。 I was scared (laughs). I replied: Of course I want to get rich. Qu said, 'Okay, then we can talk' (laughter, applause).

I'm not bragging, listening to Han Sheng's words, not only do my worries disappear, but I also feel that there is a Cotai Avenue ahead. Next, I will ask Hansheng to teach everyone how to keep safe and make a fortune in the war (warm applause). (To be continued.) )
