The Mystery Chapter 13 Sorrow urges Xu Qianxue
Chen Dong was stunned when he heard this, and said incomprehensibly: "What is the alliance with Wu to resist Wei?" ”
Qin Yang smiled charmingly, and did not answer directly, but asked, "I heard that Ship Master Chen was just attacked by Chen Sipan?" ”
When Chen Dong heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, clenched his fist and struck the table and said, "Chen Sipan actually dares to move my head, and he is not afraid of breaking his teeth!" Sooner or later, you will know the news so quickly? Did you do it together? ”
This Chen Dong was born in the grass since he was a child, and the spirit of the rivers and lakes is very heavy, once he is angry, he is really majestic and murderous, Qin Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Chen misunderstood, I came this time to bring a letter entrusted by Mr. Xu, and I ask you to read it." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Chen Dong with both hands.
Chen Dong didn't pick it up, but glanced at Yun Qi sideways, Yun Qi understood, hurriedly took two steps forward, took the letter, tore off the seal, and then read: "Brother Chen Junjian, seeing words is like face, since the sea parted, it has not been seen for several years, and it is ...... today."
It turned out that this was a letter written by Xu Qianxue, and the first part of the letter said some polite words, saying that he admired Chen Dong's peers very much, but he was busy with daily affairs and could not get together, hoping that one day he could meet face to face, conspire to get drunk, etc., the middle paragraph of the letter changed, and counted the harm of Chen Sipan's pirate group to coastal merchants, so that he and all the people who rely on the sea to eat are in danger, and their survival is threatened, so Mr. Xu issued an appeal, hoping that the two families can join hands to jointly crusade against Chen Sipan and destroy this pirate. It also gives the sea a peaceful place, giving a good living environment to the fishermen who rely on the sea for food. At the end of the letter, Mr. Xu also looked to the future, saying that if the crusade was successful, the question of how to divide Fujian's sphere of influence.
The letter was very long, and Yun Qi read it for a long time before he finished it.
Chen Dong didn't say a word, sat in front of the coffee table, holding a teacup in his hand and didn't move, as if he was particularly interested in the pattern on the teacup, which was worth his careful consideration.
"Captain Chen?" Qin Yang called softly.
Chen Dong turned his head, glanced at Qin Yang, gently sipped the tea in his hand, and asked, "I know Mr. Xu's letter, but I don't know what Xu Hai thinks?" ”
Qin Yang seemed a little unnatural, rolled his eyes, and chuckled: "Ship Master Chen, our master is Mr. Xu, this Xu Hai naturally has to listen to Mr. Xu." ”
Chen Dong sneered: "Hmph, although Xu Qianxue is smart, he is not generous enough, you and I don't know, over the years, most of the people who have fought for him are Xu Hai, Xu Hai's attitude is unknown, how dare you let me respond?" ”
Qin Yang looked at Chen Dong's face, he wanted to speak and stopped, struggled for a long time, and finally made up his mind, he said to Chen Dong: "Don't hide it from Captain Chen, Xu Hai is not in Fujian now. ”
"It's not in Fujian, so where is it?"
"He's in Japan now."
Chen Dong's eyes lit up: "What good deal did Xu Hai find and went to Japan?" ”
Qin Yang smiled helplessly: "Xu Hai is not doing business this time, but going as a hostage." ”
"Hostages?" Chen Dong and Yun Qi were surprised that they actually let Xu Hai be hostages, which was also too strange.
Through inquiry, I realized that for many years, Xu Qianxue has been doing smuggling business, most of the things at home by Xu Hai Zhang Luo, but also done well, accumulated some industries, but the good times did not last long, the last two years, Xu Qianxue seems to have suddenly encountered bad luck, originally smooth sailing, he suddenly became nothing smooth, when going to sea is not encountered wind and waves, or encountered pirates, often empty people and goods, sometimes it is not easy to put the goods ashore, but encountered the inspection of the imperial court, all the goods are confiscated, The man also went to prison, which made him embarrassed.
In the winter of the previous year, Xu Qianxue finally scraped together some capital and wanted to do a good business, but things were messed up by the people of the Sanjiang Dart Bureau, and the goods were robbed by someone else.
But after all, it is difficult to solve the salary, Xu Qianxue's huge family business needs to be maintained, and that business alone cannot support it for long, so Xu Qianxue borrowed money everywhere, wanting to make a comeback, as long as he can make a few big business, this anger may be relieved. I don't want him to find a lot of friends, but no one is willing to lend him money, because everyone is not optimistic about Xu Qianxue's prospects, people in the coastal area are generally very superstitious, the family pays tribute to the Bodhisattva all the year round, and the incense is endless, they feel that once people embark on bad luck, others can not reach out to help at will, if they help, this bad luck will follow, unless they have a way to solve the bad luck.
After Xu Qianxue ran into a wall everywhere, there was really no way, so he could only take the last road and find the original business partner, that is, a group of Japanese, since the Chinese do not help themselves, the Japanese will always help, Xu Qianxue hopes that they can lend a helping hand.
Accustomed to cynicism, vicious words and insistence, Xu Qianxue was not very hopeful about borrowing money, but things were beyond his expectations, the Japanese actually agreed, borrowing money is okay, but the requirement must be a mortgage, Xu Qianxue was ecstatic when he heard this, as long as he has money, he can mortgage anything, but people don't want real estate, the Japanese can't come to live, Xu Qianxue is encountering a trough in business, there are not many valuable things, and he can't find the collateral when he looks for it, and finally, Xu Qianxue stomped his feet and made a move that surprised countless people- Detainees.
The person he detained was Xu Hai, because except for Xu Hai, no one else had such weight, Xu Hai was not only their second master, but also Xu Qianxue's own nephew, the Japanese believed that Xu Qianxue would never abandon Xu Hai, so Xu Qianxue took out a loan of overseas foreign capital.
After Xu Qianxue got the payment, he immediately organized people to do business, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he went to sea for his first business, he met Chen Sipan's fleet, and the result can be imagined, Xu Qianxue's fleet was defeated, all the goods on the ship were snatched away, and Xu Qianxue was hit hard again.
Therefore, for Xu Qianxue, the biggest enemy at present is Chen Sipan, his guy stabbed him in the chest at the most difficult time, and knocked down his desire to make a comeback again, although he still has some money in his hand, but he no longer dares to act in vain, Xu Qianxue knows that as long as Chen Sipan is there, it will be difficult to do business by himself, and the interest rate on loans from the Japanese is very high, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable he is, and he must make up for the loss as soon as possible.
But measuring his own strength, Xu Qianxue sadly found that he alone could not fight against Chen Sipan, Chen Sipan has more ships than him, firepower is fiercer than him, the most critical point, Chen Sipan is a pirate, you don't know where he is, the enemy is dark and I am clear, how to fight this battle?
At this time, Xu Hai's wife, who is also known as the smartest woman, Sister Wang, gave Xu Qianxue an idea, asked him to contact Chen Dong, and the two joined forces to deal with Chen Sipan, Chen Dong's strength is similar to Chen Sipan, plus himself, there is hope for victory, as long as Chen Sipan is defeated, the money accumulated by the pirates for many years is enough to make Xu Qianxue make a comeback, not only solve the danger at sea, but also obtain a large amount of gold and silver, maybe he can further expand his business and reach a new peak.
So there was this letter from Xu Qianxue and this visit from Qin Yang.
Listening to Qin Yang talk about the causes and consequences of Xu Qianxue, Chen Dong did not feel moved, now in this situation, it is indeed a good opportunity, if the two parties really unite, this matter has a great hope of success, if it succeeds, then how many years of gold and silver treasures robbed by the pirates will become in the pocket of themselves and Xu Qianxue, as long as there is enough money, then they will definitely be able to achieve their goal of buying ships and adding people.
His own strength will be greatly enhanced, and maybe Fujian will become his own world in the future.
To do it, or not to do it? Chen Dong hesitated.
"But I don't know how Mr. Xu conceived after the matter was completed?" Yun Qi asked.
"Of course, it's half divided, we work together with Captain Chen, fight the enemy together, if it happens, the property and land obtained are divided in half, what is Chen Chuan's idea?" Although Qin Yang was answering Yun Qi's question, his eyes were looking at Chen Dong.
"Hehe, Mr. Xu's appetite is really not small, he doesn't have as many ships as me, his artillery is not as strong as mine, and he doesn't have as many sailors as me, and he relies on strength to fight the war, why can he divide half of it?" Chen Dong suddenly understood the intention of Yun Qi's question, answered Qin Yang coldly, and then turned his head and glanced at Yun Qi appreciatively.
"What does Ship Master Chen think?" Qin Yang asked. Before he came, he knew that it would be impossible to split in half, but as the so-called sky-high starting price, sitting on the ground to pay the money, the requirements must always be higher, so that they can give people a little room to repay the money.
"Three-seven, I'm seven, you're three." Chen Dong held the teacup, his hand was as steady as Mount Tai, without shaking at all, and the tea did not have a trace of ripples.
Qin Yang laughed dryly, he was not angry at Chen Dong's answer, just as he could ask for a price, of course he had to allow others to say something excessive, the so-called negotiation and discussion, there is a business to have quantity, so Qin Yang replied with a smile: "Ship Master Chen, you are too ruthless, although our current strength is slightly weaker than yours, but it is not too bad, I am afraid that this Sanqi is not appropriate." ”
"I think it's the right way to do it, because we're going to have to work hard this time." Yun Qi was beating the side drum in general, he naturally knew that Chen Dong wanted to fight for more rights and interests for himself, and it would naturally be better if he could get one more point.
Qin Yang looked at the two helplessly, and made a twisted expression on his face, like a little girl who had been wronged, her eyes were confused, and she was really amorous, which made Chen Dong and Yun Qi feel a chill in their hearts, knowing that the other party was a man, but showing a woman's expression all the time, this feeling was really awkward.
Chen Dong hurriedly poured himself another cup of tea, but Yun Qi lowered his head, as if a flower had suddenly grown on his toes, and the flower was blooming brightly.
Seeing that no one appreciated his tricks, Qin Yang couldn't help sighing, as if he had suffered a big loss, he waved his hand at Chen Dongrou bonelessly, twisted his waist, and said coquettishly: "Okay, who let us bring this up, then let's take a step first, how about four or six points, we are four, you are six, now we have suffered a big loss, you don't bully people anymore!" ”
"Four-six?" Chen Dong and Yun Qi glanced at each other, and they both saw the satisfied expressions in each other's eyes.
