Chapter 112: Greater Shanghai
In the end, Lin Xuan still lived in his first class. As for the trick that had taken over his room, it only added a thud to the entire voyage.
However, this was only the first episode in the whole boat ride. In the time that followed, Lin Xuan saw all kinds of situations where he displayed his superiority in front of him. Almost all whites have a natural advantage in front of him. And the black waiter in the restaurant also looked down at him inexplicably.
Lin Xuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, he knew that this was an era of discrimination. But as a powerful magician, how could he endure this level of insult. He even began to regret that he hadn't done a massacre at the docks.
A month of sailing time passed. The cruise ship finally docked at the port of Shanghai, China. It's just that this ship is quite strange. It was a little too quiet, and as he docked, a young Asian stepped off the steamer. This is normal, after all, this is a ship bound for China. But then there's something weird. For after the young man had disembarked, no one had ever come off the boat.
The young man ignored the eyes of the crowd. Just left alone. The port staff had no choice but to go on board the ship for inspection. However, the ship was empty, and the emptiness reminded people of the legends of various ghost ships for the first time. In this way, the young man before him looked very suspicious. It's just that when everyone recalled, they were horrified to find that none of them remembered the person's face. I just remember being a young man. This only intensified the rumors of the ghost ship. A temple was even built at the Shanghai pier to enshrine this unknown ghost of the sea. Lin Xuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard about it.
Shanghai in this era is the most international era. There are 150,000 foreigners in cities of about three million people. In later generations, the city of 20 million people was only 170,000 foreigners.
Almost all the great powers had their own business interests in Shanghai. This is also the fundamental reason why countless warlords have never hurt Shanghai. The warlords of this era are the biggest cancer in the whole country. Everyone is thinking about their own interests, and everyone is looting the resources in the hands of these few people. However, in the face of foreigners who have most of the resources in their hands, the concession has become a pug in an instant.
The Green Gang is the largest gang in Shanghai. Zhang Xiaolin, Huang Jinrong, and Du Yuesheng are known as the three tycoons in Shanghai. This is the peak era of the Shanghai Youth Gang. The strength of these three people even far exceeded that of the Shanghai Municipal Government at that time. It has an influence that can influence the major concessions to a certain extent.
On this day, Du Yuesheng's hall ushered in an uninvited guest. Du Yuesheng was still at the end of the three tycoons at this time. The 'Heng Society', which would become famous in the future, had not yet been formed. His life is legendary. The title of 'the first gangster in three hundred years' is enough to affirm his achievements on this path.
Among the three tycoons, the only one Lin Xuan can catch his eye is Du Yuesheng. The other two are either against our party or have defected to Japan. There was no place at all that made Lin Xuan look at it. Du Yuesheng also has a hostile attitude towards our party. But he was at least a staunch anti-Japanese faction. He came from a humble background, but he was far superior to the other two in righteousness.
'Gongxing Club' is the earliest industry controlled by Du Yuesheng. This is a clubhouse that integrates a dance hall and a smoke hall. It can be regarded as the prototype of a modern high-end club.
Lin Xuan walked into the Gongxing Club, but this time he was not discriminated against. After all, this is still Chinese territory. Most of the people who come to spend are Chinese. Lin Xuan ignored the waiters who came to inquire and walked straight to the back of the club.
The waiter just wanted to stop him, but then he was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had forgotten about it, he turned to greet the others.
At this time, Du Yuesheng was talking secretly with Huang Jinrong. They had already begun to discuss the formation of a joint company to monopolize the opium industry in Shanghai. But this extremely confidential meeting was interrupted. A young man pushed open the door and walked in. And the people outside did not give the slightest obstruction.
Huang Jinrong gestured to Du Yuesheng with his eyes, meaning this is your person? Du Yuesheng was also forced to look at it, I thought it was your person? Not interested in seeing the two of them not coming, Lin Xuan sat directly on the sofa next to him.
"Du Yuesheng? I'm here to make a deal with you. ”
"Who are you? Any idea what this place is? "Huang Jinrong couldn't bear it anymore. You must know that he has always regarded himself as the number one tycoon in Shanghai, and although the kid in front of him is a little eccentric, he can't scare him Huang Jinrong.
It's just that Lin Xuan didn't even look at him squarely, he just snapped his fingers casually. I saw that Huang Jinrong's neck twisted suddenly, but he rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, and returned to a positive image. This terrifying scene frightened Du Yuesheng for a tremble, and almost subconsciously wanted to stand up and scream. But for some reason, he actually endured it and returned to the sofa trembling. He also lit a cigarette for himself, took two deep breaths, and calmed down. It's as if nothing happened just now.
This scene made Lin Xuangao glance at him. can witness this scene with his own eyes without being frightened, and his willpower is still remarkable. This historical underworld tycoon still has some Chinese characteristics.
"Now there is no one to bother us. So I'm repeating. I want to make a deal with you. ”
"Of course there is no problem, whatever you want to buy, I will continue." Du Yuesheng first agreed to the transaction without hesitation, and then began to ask about the content of the transaction. It's like negotiating a normal deal. Even if there is the body of Huang Jinrong, the biggest gangster in Shanghai, lying next to him, it will not affect their negotiations in the slightest.
"Du Yuesheng, do you want to be the 'emperor' of Shanghai?"
Du Yuesheng's breathing suddenly became short. This is his biggest dream, but there was Zhang Xiaolin and Huang Jinrong before him, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously.
"It's not that simple, even if Huang Jinrong is dead, there is also a Zhang Xiaolin, and countless high-level officials under them who want to be on top. Even if both of them die, I won't be able to take over their power smoothly. ”
"It's not that complicated, it's not enough to die two, then die a few more. A group of gangsters who don't know the righteousness, it doesn't hurt to die a few more in Shanghai. ”
A few simple words, but there is a bloody wind and rain hidden. Even Du Yuesheng was taken aback by the evil aura contained in it. You know, you want to completely accept the other two's industry. According to the practice of this person or 'thing' in front of him, I am afraid that it is impossible not to die hundreds of people. At this time, Du Yuesheng had already classified Lin Xuan as a first-class ghost.
