Chapter 93: Turning the Face
When Xiao Zhenlei saw that the assassin had been killed, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, the assassin has been killed, please don't mess up!" β
After noticing that something was wrong before, Xiao Zhenlei thought about it, he couldn't kill people at the bidding meeting he held, and the people who patrolled the house would definitely come after something happened, and if he killed someone, even if he was not guilty, it would be very troublesome, so he handed over the pistol to Opiyin and let this guy do it for him, and he himself attracted the attention of the assassin, although Opiyin was a bit naïve, but this guy still had some guts, after all, he had killed some people in the ring before, and he had seen blood, The psychological element zhì was much stronger than the average person, and Opiyin did not disappoint him, and succeeded in killing the assassin.
After hearing Xiao Zhenlei's shout, the guests who were pale with fright just now and had no master gradually quieted down, and even the guests who had already run out of the Peacock Hall returned to the hall after hearing the news that the assassin had been killed.
Xiao Zhenlei kicked the assassin's corpse twice, and seeing that the assassin was dead, he hurriedly walked over to Fan Gaotou, came to Fan Gaotou and asked eagerly, "Old lady Fan, are you okay?" And not hurt? β
Fan Gaotou has lived so much, has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and there is naturally a scene of being assassinated, his face has not changed, just looked at the bodyguard corpse lying on the ground and said regretfully: "Thanks to my little boy, if it weren't for him, I would have died here today!" β
While the guests were whispering around the two corpses, Huang Jingrong opened the crowd and squeezed through the crowd with a wolf face, and several bodyguards opened the way for him.
"Old man. Are you okay? It scared me to death just now, it's so dangerous, but fortunately this brother on the ground is righteous, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable! Huang Jingrong ran up to Fan Gaotou and looked up and down and asked.
Fan Gao saw that it was Huang Jingrong. Suddenly his face was unhappy, and he said angrily: "I can't die old man, hum, where did you hide when I was shot just now, old man?" Now I will run out and ask Lao Tzu if he is okay, I think you wish Lao Tzu was beaten to death. And then hello to the upper position, right? β
When Huang Jingrong heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said loudly: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the real great wrong, old man." Didn't I just not go last time when you celebrated your birthday? Why are you angry with me about this, that day there happened to be a meeting in the patrol room, I didn't go to it, so I didn't rush over to pay your birthday in person, and then I went to the door four times, and you didn't let me in, for this matter, are you there? Today I want to borrow the light of Boss Xiao. I should be able to meet you here and give you a company, but who knows if this will happen again! β
Seeing that these two were unhappy about this little thing. No matter how you say it, it's all your own reason, Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly came out to play a round: "Old lady Fan, Boss Huang, it's all my fault for this, it's me Xiao who didn't make proper arrangements for this assassin to get in, and almost caused extremely strict consequences." Fortunately, all the bosses are fine, Mrs. Fan, please rest assured. I'll send someone to send this brother's settling-in fee! β
Fan Gaotou's face looked a little better when he heard this. He also knew that Xiao Zhenlei couldn't be blamed for this kind of thing, the assassin couldn't be prevented after all, and there was nothing major now, just a bodyguard was killed, and it was enough to pay some money for the family.
At this time, Liu Fubiao looked at the corpse of the assassin on the ground and suddenly exclaimed: "Huh? β
Everyone immediately looked at him, and Fan Gao also turned his head to look at him and asked, "What?" β
Liu Fubiao walked over and squatted on the ground, picked up the corpse's left hand and looked at it, then reached out and played with the corpse's head, saw the face of the assassin's corpse clearly, and quickly stood up and returned to Fan Gaotou's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Fan Gaotou's face became extremely ugly when he heard this, and he set his eyes on Xiao Zhenlei, but his mind moved, and he immediately said: "Be louder, don't tell me alone, tell everyone here, let everyone know who did it!" β
Liu Fubiao was stunned, and he immediately said loudly: "I know this person, his name is Deng Jian, and he is a famous killer in the rivers and lakes, but this person has been active in the Jiangbei area for a long time, but I don't know how to appear here this time!" β
"Jiangbei?" Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said, "This assassin first wanted to kill me, but when he saw that the opportunity to kill me had been lost, he shifted his target and pointed his gun at Old Lady Fan!" This is strange, since the assassin wants to kill me, why do he want to kill Mrs. Fan again? β
After listening to Xiao Zhenlei's words, everyone turned their eyes to Fan Gaotou, Fan Gaotou touched the sarcoma on the top of his head and frowned: "The old man has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for decades, has made a lot of friends, and has also made a lot of enemies, the assassin wants to kill me, obviously another person wants my life, but this assassin shot Boss Xiao first, what does this mean?" β
Others may not know very well, but Xiao Zhenlei immediately thought of it, and he said coldly: "It shows that the assassin's employer has a grudge against both of us at the same time, and it is not difficult for this person to guess."
Xiao Zhenlei's words are not said here, he did not directly say the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, not only did he have no evidence, but also because the mastermind was an official of the Qing court, and this was the scope of the concession, even if he knew who did it, he couldn't say it now, just know it himself, this face must be recovered, otherwise it will be difficult to mix up in Shanghai in the future!
The guests were talking, some wondering who had done it, while others were meditating.
After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he realized that he couldn't let these people stand here all the time, and he apologized to the guests: "Everyone, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, Xiao is here to make amends to you, disturb everyone, today's bidding will be Lihe Foreign Bank is determined to be our partner of Zhenhua Company, we will sign a contract on a later date, the bidding will be over here, Xiao has already chartered the Licha Hotel, you can dine and entertain here!" β
"Wait! Mr. Xiao, it seems that the matter between us is not over yet, how can this bidding meeting end like this? Shouldn't you give me and Suzuki-kun an account today? Mitsui Shou's gloomy, angry voice came, and Jiro Suzuki's face was extremely ugly.
There was an assassination here, and he died, and the bigwigs who were about to say goodbye to Xiao Zhenlei just now didn't leave when they heard Mitsui Shou's words, it seems that this bidding meeting is really not so simple.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhenlei turned around and looked at Mitsui Shou. An expression of sudden thought of something appeared on his face, and when he patted his head, his face suddenly became stern, and after looking around at the surrounding guests, he arched his hand and said, "Everyone, I didn't want to talk about this matter. But this Mr. Mitsui insisted on holding on to this matter, so I will talk about it here, and this is the case, last night Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro secretly came to see me, and asked me to give Zhenhua Company's order to buy industrial production machines to Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi Co., Ltd. of Suzuki Jiro, and they gave me 20,000 yuan in the ocean. The silver ticket is here! As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his pocket and showed it to the bigwigs, and the invited guests did not react very much, but they were very ashamed of the Japanese way of relying on bribery, while the reaction of the managers of those foreign banks was completely different, and they looked at Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro very unkindly. They all sneered.
In particular, Bauer, the manager of the Rehe Foreign Company, rebuked angrily in an extremely stern tone: "How can you Japanese do such a disgusting thing? Since you are doing business, you have to abide by the rules of business, and if everyone in the business field is like you, won't the business market be in chaos? If it's like you, you don't need to talk about business at all in the future, wouldn't it be better to buy it directly? Your villainous behavior of engaging in black-box operations is really chilling! I will complain to your Japanese consul about this, and I am sure he will give me an explanation! β
"Yes. We will also complain to the Japanese consul about this, you Mitsui & Mitsubishi & Co. are so shameless that they must be punished! The managers of the major foreign banks rebuked one after another.
Mitsui Shou and Jiro Suzuki were attacked by a group. Panicking for a while, Mitsui Shou shouted with beads of sweat on his forehead: "Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense, I did give him money last night, and the amount is not 20,000 oceans, but 400,000 yen." It's not that we are engaged in such shameless things as bribery, in fact, Zhenhua Company has already signed an agreement with us. The orders have long belonged to our Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi & Co., and it is Zhenhua Company itself that is engaged in black-box operations. They first signed an agreement with us, and then they wanted to use this method to deceive other foreign companies, so as to collect huge bribes! β
The managers of the major foreign banks were a little confused when they heard this, what the hell is going on? Whose problem is it? Bao Er, the manager of Lihe Foreign Bank, was also a little puzzled at this time, he couldn't be cautious, the amount of this order was too big, so big that if something went wrong, he would be doomed, he stared at Mitsui Shou and said coldly: "Is there any evidence for what you said?" β
Mitsui Shou immediately said: "Of course there is, we have the agreement signed by Xiao Zhenlei and us as proof!" β
At this time, Xiao Zhenlei was "surprised" and angrily reprimanded: "It's just nonsense, when did I sign any agreement with you?" How come I don't remember? β
Mitsui Shou immediately took out the bag from his briefcase and shook it and sneered: "Xiao Zhenlei, don't quibble, black and white paper, it's clearly written on it!" β
"I don't believe it, I didn't sign an agreement with you at all, you're fake!" Xiao Zhenlei said angrily.
"Okay, I'll ask Mr. Ball to take a look at this agreement, and I'll let you die!" Mitsui Shou said as he pulled out the text and handed it to Bauer.
Bauer immediately took it and flipped through it, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, but when he turned to the last page and turned it again, there was no more, the last page of the agreement was not, why was there no signature and seal? After flipping through it again, it still didn't happen, he threw the text to Mitsui Shou and said angrily: "What are you doing?" I think you wrote it yourself on wishful thinking, right? There is no last page of the agreement, no signature and no seal, what kind of agreement is this? β
Mitsui Shou's face changed, and he immediately took the agreement and flipped through it several times from beginning to end, never seeing the last page, he shouted: "Impossible, impossible, how can this be?" β
Jiro Suzuki leaned over and snatched the agreement, again not seeing the last page, his expression was richer than Mitsui's.
At this time, Mitsui Shou pointed at Xiao Zhenlei with a grim face and shouted: "Baga, Zhina, you deceive me!" You cheated me out of my money! I'll kill you".
"Idiot!" Xiao Zhenlei cursed in his heart, waved his hand to Wu Shirong and a few security guards who maintained order, and immediately several people rushed over and dragged Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro out. Xiao Zhenlei said to the other bigwigs and managers of foreign banks: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let everyone see the joke, I didn't want to mention this, I wanted to save some face for the Japanese, but who knew that they would do this for the sake of the order!" It's time for lunch, so please stay and eat! β
Despite Xiao Zhenlei's words, how can these leading figures on the beach still stay? They said goodbye one by one, and the managers of the other foreign banks saw that the result of the bid had been decided, and it was basically impossible to grab the order now, so they no longer stayed and left one after another.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people and two corpses left in the peacock hall on the top floor, and it was only at this time that the patrols of the concession patrol house rushed over. Xiao Zhenlei was too lazy to deal with the people in the patrol room, and handed over this place to Song Shijie to deal with, but at this time he remembered that he hadn't seen Wang Yanan and Cheng Biyao at the venue, and he remembered that he had sent someone to send invitations to these two girls, why didn't they come?
