You will also compete with Miss Gu.

The provocation of these words was full of flavor, and Wei Lina was excited when she heard it, Gu Caiwei and Zheng Yanshan were a little unhappy, but they didn't come out, and the meal became more and more tasteless, and even directly became Zheng Xuan and Wei Lina's show in the end.

Finally, the meal was finished, and it was originally said that Gu Caiwei invited Zheng Yanshan, but Zheng Xuan rushed to pay, saying that he was embarrassed to let a woman pay as a big man, and Gu Caiwei didn't fight with him, anyway, she didn't want to invite these two people to dinner.

When the four of them walked out of the restaurant together and were about to separate activities, a sudden change occurred!

Zheng Xuan's bodyguard suddenly rushed out and blocked Zheng Xuan, and then a very slight sound crossed, Gu Caiwei subconsciously bent over, and the glass door behind her shattered.

Someone hid in the shadows and shot again, and added a muffler!

The shattering of the glass door immediately caused screaming and confusion, but fortunately the gunfire was largely muffled, otherwise the entire pedestrian street would have been in chaos.

At this time, the people arranged by Lei Ming for her also rushed out and surrounded her and Zheng Yanshan, Zheng Yanshan didn't know what was going on at first, she was frightened, Gu Caiwei hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, these are my bodyguards." ”

Although Zheng Yanshan wondered why Gu Caiwei had so many bodyguards, she hadn't seen it before, why did she suddenly come out? But the current situation simply did not allow her to ask more.

Gu Caiwei didn't have time to explain more to Zheng Yanshan, because just now she cautiously looked around, and when she wanted to find the location of the shooter, she saw a familiar figure rushing towards her for a few steps, and when she saw several bodyguards appearing beside her, the man hesitated, retreated, and hid again.

Gu Caiwei felt as if her heart had been beaten violently, that person was Ren Xu! Even though he was wearing sunglasses, she still recognized him.

At that moment, Gu Caiwei even suspected that the person who shot was Ren Xu, but then she denied it herself, even if Ren Xu wanted to kill her, just send some people, there was no need to drag the injured body to come in person, right? If Ren Xu wanted to kill her, he wouldn't help her block that shot, it was real flesh and blood, it couldn't be a bitter trick, and there was no need to do any bitter tricks.

There is only one possibility, Ren Xu secretly came over to protect her secretly not long after she left the Demon Capital, because only Ren Xu knew that she was still under the threat of the Night Killer Organization, and there might be danger at any time.

But wouldn't he just arrange for some people to come? Why did you come by yourself? Is his injury healed? He hid in the shadows and didn't show up, was he afraid that she would reject his kindness?

At that moment, Gu Caiwei wanted to stop Ren Xu, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't make any sound, she only felt bitter in her mouth, what good was she about letting such a man run around for her?

What moved Gu Caiwei was not Ren Xu's injury, but Ren Xu's attitude of paying silently but not wanting to burden her, how should she face him, she didn't think about it, just said "thank you", she would feel redundant, could it be that Ren Xu worked so hard just for that "thank you"?

In the end, Gu Caiwei chose to be a turtle, she couldn't give back to the other party, so it was better to pretend that she never knew. //

Gu Caiwei and Zheng Yanshan left the pedestrian street under the protection of the bodyguards, and when they left, Gu Caiwei was a little absent-minded, looking around from time to time, she wanted to see if Ren Xu had left, but in the end she didn't see Ren Xu again.

She and Zheng Yanshan were sent into the car by the bodyguards, and then she came back to her senses and said embarrassedly: "Did it scare you?" I forgot about Zheng Xuan and Wei Lina just now, and I don't know what happened to them. ”

Zheng Yanshan is also a bold person, this will have calmed down, and with a little excitement, he said, "Don't worry about them, Zheng Xuan has a lot of bodyguards." Anyway, what happened just now? ”

Gu Caiwei shook her head, she didn't know how to explain, if it wasn't for her, it was for Zheng Xuan, just from the direction of the bullet, she couldn't tell.

But she felt that this was not quite like the method of the dark night, it was too shoddy, what was it like the work of an internationally famous killer organization? If what happened just now was directed at her, then most of it was done by someone else.

Could it be that the Wei family bought a murderer? They don't have the guts, do they?

Gu Caiwei couldn't figure it out here, and Zheng Xuan over there was already furious, almost roaring at his subordinates and saying, "Go check on me and see who dares to shoot me!" ”

An assistant trembled with fear, one went to contact the police in Xidu, and the other went to contact the underworld forces in Xidu.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Wei Lina spoke: "Maybe the shot just now was aimed at Gu Caiwei." ”

Zheng Xuan showed a thoughtful look, and seemed to be considering the possibility of Wei Lina's words, but he quickly said: "No matter who you go to, don't think about having good fruits to eat if you shoot at me!" "Meihua Company! They wanted to invest in the steel industry, so they set their sights on Hanyeping Company. In the past few years, the Song family's biggest business partner has been Meihua Company, and the conditions they gave this time were also very favorable, so I had to fight hard! Song Ziwen replied dryly, and he didn't hide it, after all, Kong Xiangxi was his own person.

"Meihua Company?" A glimmer of light flashed behind Kong Xiangxi's thick lenses, and he asked eagerly, "Is that the trading company that has a close relationship with the American oil company?" ”

"Like! The U.S.-China company is indeed quite close to the U.S. oil companies. Why, brother-in-law, are you going to-"

Song Ziwen looked at Kong Xiangxi's somewhat excited face curiously.

"Great! When I came to Shanghai this time, I also worked with oil companies in the United States. Kong Xiangxi said excitedly, patted Song Ziwen's shoulder affectionately, and said, "You have to help build a line!" ”

"Okay!" Song Ziwen nodded, and said in his heart that his brother-in-law's eyes were really poisonous, and he took a fancy to foreign oil at a glance, this is a business similar to opium1

&2000nbsp;After Song Ziwen excitedly told Kong Xiangxi about the Shanghai business machine company he had run in the past two years, he asked: "By the way, brother-in-law, I want to invest in a bank recently, do you have anything to build?" ”。

He knew that the Yuhua Bank founded by Kong Xiangxi in the north was quite successful, so he had the heart to learn from it.

Seeing that his brother-in-law was so sincere, Kong Xiangxi also passed on his experience of running a bank to Song Ziwen.

"It seems that you have really found the right partner, no wonder the company is growing so fast. Well, it is also wise to enter the banking and financial industry now, but to build a modern bank, if it is like the money bank in Shanxi, it will be outdated. Kong Xiangxi admonished.

Ziwen nodded, and when he was done with Han Yeping's company, he set up his own bank.

Originally, Situ Nan wanted to stay in a hotel in the concession, but now the situation in Shanghai is chaotic, and he is not only a family with a large group of people, if he wants to stay in a hotel, he at least has to charter the hotel, which is too troublesome, so he stays on the ship for the time being.

After dinner, Stuart called little Kadoorie to his room.

"Luo Shilan, I know that your Kadoorie family also has its own foreign firm in Shanghai, and is familiar with real estate in Shanghai, I want you to help me find a house, no problem, right?" Situ Nan asked.

"Of course." "But it's not easy to find a house that matches Mr. Szeto's identity, and it will take some time. ”

"Three days! I want to live in the best house in Shanghai! "Situ Nandao.

When little Kadoorie was out, he hid in his room and looked through Occidental Petroleum's business in China.

Since following Mobil into the Chinese market in World War I, Occidental Petroleum has grown by leaps and bounds in China's oil market and is now one of the three oceanic oil companies.

Mobil Oil is still in first place, controlling 38% of China's foreign oil market, followed by Western Oil, and finally Britain's Asia Oil, which accounts for it.

Asia Oil Company is actually Shell Oil Company, and it originally carved up China's kerosene market with Mobil Oil.

In World War I, when Occidental Petroleum entered the Chinese market and immediately filled most of the kerosene gap left by Shell, it became the second largest supplier of ocean oil in the Chinese market.

When Shell returned to the Chinese market, it had to face an awkward situation, because the newly emerging Western oil companies were already full-fledged and became the target of their own catch-up.

Not only in China, but all over the world, Shell is facing a strong challenge from Western oil companies, and it is falling behind.

Not only did Venezuelan oil fall in South America, but in the face of the menacing American oil companies, they had to cede some of Sumatra's oil interests and temporarily retain the oil interests of their own territory.

The acquisition of the Minas oil field in Sumatra by the Western Petroleum Company was a turning point in the struggle between the two sides, and the acquisition of the Minas oil field in Sumatra was a certain step in the control of Asia's largest oil market.

At present, the oil tankers of the Western Petroleum Company are appearing more and more frequently in coastal ports such as Guangzhou and Shanghai, and at the same time, they have also penetrated into the major cities along the Yangtze River, such as Hankou, Wuhu, Jiujiang, etc., and have established oil storage warehouses of the Western Petroleum Company, and then through the franchisees of Guò to dump a large amount of high-quality and low-cost kerosene into major cities and villages.

In an era of lack of electricity, no one could resist the yearning for light, even rural families had kerosene lamps or candles at home. Not to mention the bustling city.

40,000,000 people need kerosene, and there are only three providers, Mobil, West, and Asia, so you can imagine how big the market is.

Foreign oil has become one of China's most important import commodities, second only to cotton imports, accounting for China's import trade.

With the increasing number of cars in China, the demand for gasoline is gradually expanding, and the amount of gasoline and lubricating oil imported every year is also expanding, increasing at a rate of more than 10 percent per year.

Last year, in 1919, customs statistics showed that the amount of foreign oil entering China from Shanghai reached 10,000 taels of silver!

Well, silver taels, that's more expensive than silver dollars!

And there are three main people who share the cake, so Situ Nan has to be excited about the achievements of Western Petroleum in the Chinese market.

The Western Petroleum Company made a large amount of profits from the dumping of foreign oil, which in turn was invested in the expansion and reconstruction, and the import of various agricultural and mineral products from China, and the profits generated far exceeded the 10,000 taels of silver.

In addition, Meihua Trading Company also deals in other products! In addition to oil, sugar and cotton have also entered the Chinese market in large quantities, not to mention various machinery and industrial products.

If you want to evaluate the several major foreign businessmen who exploit China, the United States and China will definitely be among the best, but the market is like this, and personal feelings are constantly shifted.

So whether emotionally or in terms of interests, Situ Nan has to pay attention to China, although he doesn't want to meddle in other things, but with the expansion of his industry in the Chinese market, he has to keep an eye on it.

"It seems that it was the right thing to squeeze into Sumatra in the first place, and now Occidental Petroleum has not only surpassed Shell's market in Asia in one fell swoop, but also has the strength to compete with Mobil, which is a great feeling!"

Situ Nan closed the report of the Western Petroleum Company and looked out the window at the Huangpu River.

He knew that because of his greedy adventure, he had encircled the world's largest oil fields at once, and that Occidental Petroleum had become the world's largest oil company in fact, and it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Mobil!

Although only a few people in the world know this fact, most people's impressions are still stuck in the two old oil companies, Mobil and Shell.
