Zhang Lingkong smiled faintly, and when the two patrols escorted the thief away, Zhang Lingkong said: "Recently, there have been endless thefts in the concession, and the theft of the door is really arrogant, and they all stole to my house." ”

Luo Lie said: "Then strengthen security, it's not too late to make amends." ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "I heard that Chen Haodong wants to spend a million oceans to buy your Yupu Wharf. ”

Luo Lie nodded: "There is such a thing." ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "How can you catch up with all the good things, if I knew that Yupu Wharf was worth this price, I would not have exchanged the land of the Blue Mill with you." ”

Luo Lie said: "It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world." ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "I also heard that you rejected Chen Haodong?"

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Zhang is really well-informed. ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "Chen Haodong should be a thief, this person is not good!"

Luo Lie said: "If it were Mr. Zhang, would he sell Yupu Wharf to him?"

Zhang Lingkong shook his head and said: "No, no one in the world will do a loss-making business, especially theft, they have always been white wolves with empty gloves." Mr. Luo, I always think that we should have a good talk, although there have been some unpleasantness between you and me, but in the concession, you, me and Mu Tianluo, we have too many common interests. ”

Luo Lie said: "I don't have much interest in doing business. ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "Even if you are not interested, there is no reason to let others seize your original interests, so tomorrow, tomorrow I will position myself in Yuehailou, I will come to invite you, please Mr. Mu, you have to give me face for everything you say this time." ”

Luo Lie saw that Zhang Lingkong wanted to give up his previous suspicions, and unanimously to the outside world, Chen Haodong's appearance should have affected the interests of too many people, thinking that it would be a wise choice to adopt a strategic alliance in the current situation, he nodded and said: "Okay!"

Bai Yunfei has also been in trouble lately, it should be said that his losses are heavier than others, the most important wharves and freight yards in the French Concession are under his control, and the recent general strike has brought his property to a close standstill, and the losses are immeasurable, not only that, but there have also been a series of thefts in his freight yard and wharf.

A chaotic concession was in no way in their interests, and Bai Yunfei had already guessed his purpose when he received Zhang Lingkong's invitation.

The last time the three of them sat together was under the mediation of the French consul Montpero, but this time Montpero did not return from vacation, and the reason for them to sit together was the deteriorating situation.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Lingkong said: "The strike is still going on, and there is chaos everywhere in the concession. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "It's easy to fish in troubled waters, if you don't mix up the water in this pool, they won't give up." ”

Zhang Lingkong nodded and said: "Several consuls have invariably chosen to take a vacation, allowing this chaos and disorder in the concession to continue, and the so-called martial law is simply to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "I thought I was the only one in trouble." ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "Chen Haodong has recently acquired a lot of wharves, and there are five in the public concession alone. ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Those small wharves can't hold on at all, and when the workers go on strike, they have no money to make, and if they don't make money, they can't meet the conditions put forward by the workers, so they can only choose to quit." I think this Chen Haodong is premeditated at all, and whether the strike is going to be related to him. ”

Zhang Lingkong and Bai Yunfei are surprisingly consistent on this point: "I also think so, before this person came to Huangpu, the strike did not happen, and there were not so many thefts, as soon as he came, all the troubles came, and I checked his background, he is the grandson of Chen Yanqing, I suspect that he is the new leader of the thief." ”

The two realized that Luo Lie had not expressed any opinions, and Bai Yunfei said, "I heard that he wants to spend a million oceans to buy your dock, did you agree?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "No, but it's a little exciting." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "How is Yupu Wharf worth a million oceans, there must be fraud in it." ”

Luo Lie said with a smile: "I don't rule out the possibility of buying horse bones with a thousand dollars, it's better for you to sell it to you for a million oceans." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "I can't take out so much of the ocean. ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "I invited the two of you here today to talk about recent events, who is this Chen Haodong who gave him the confidence to stir up the situation?"

Bai Yunfei said: "Having the support of the thief is confidence in itself, but if you dare to play so big, it is impossible without the support of the top, and these consuls who are on vacation may have reached a tacit understanding." He looked at Zhang Lingkong, originally he thought that Zhang Lingkong was the spoiler of Huangpu, but he didn't expect that the real spoiler was Chen Haodong. This halfway kill Cheng Yanjin disrupted his deployment, although Bai Yunfei was calling for wind and rain in the French Concession, but he was really not sure that he would stand up and fight against the thief.

Zhang Lingkong said: "So we must unite, on the one hand, to appease these workers, but also to contact other people, we must be unanimous with the outside world, and we must let Chen Haodong retreat in the face of difficulties." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "The key is not Chen Haodong, the key now is to contact those consuls who are on vacation, and only they have the ability to calm down the concession." ”

Luo Lie said: "Although I don't know much business, I can also see that the root cause of the chaos in the concession this time is that the upper echelons want to reshuffle the cards, and they want to redistribute benefits. ”

Zhang Lingkong and Bai Yunfei glanced at each other, and both nodded.

Luo Hunter said: "Although the concession is the land of the Chinese, but we say that it does not count, these foreigners cannot see us to obtain benefits here, no matter who caused this turmoil, if these foreign consuls acquiesce to him doing this, it must be based on the premise of interests." The Great Rebellion was followed by the Great Rule, but the beginning of each Great Rule was usually accompanied by massacres, and there had been several bloody incidents in the concession recently, and many people had died. ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "What I mean is that we set up a federation of industry and commerce, elect a representative to talk to foreigners, as long as we can get their approval, the following things will be easy to do." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Have you ever thought that these foreigners just want us to compete with each other, if it is really Chen Haodong who is making trouble, they will see who can give more benefits between us and Chen Haodong, and then make a choice." ”

Luo Lie nodded, and Bai Yunfei saw the essence of the problem.

Zhang Lingkong said: "Then don't do it!" Although he didn't explain what he said, everyone understood what he meant, Zhang Lingkong had already moved to kill Chen Haodong, how could Bai Yunfei not be like this, but to kill a leader of the thief, he didn't dare to make a decision easily, if Chen Haodong was really the leader of the thief, then his death would inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack of the entire thief, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Bai Yunfei said: "Then I can only talk to Chen Haodong, tell him the stakes, and let him not be used by gringos." ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "Talking to him, doesn't it make him think that we are afraid of him?"

Bai Yunfei said: "Luo Lie, this Chen Haodong has a good relationship with Miss Ma, I remember that you and Miss Ma are old friends." ”

Luo Lie laughed, and Bai Yunfei realized because of Luo Lie's smile that his purpose had been seen through by Luo Lie.

When Luo Lie came home, he saw that Ye Qinghong had cut her hair and turned it into short hair, she was preparing in advance for the birth of the child, and when she saw Luo Lie coming back, she had to let Luo Lie evaluate her new hairstyle, Luo Lie praised a few words, but Ye Qinghong was disgusted and insincere.

Ye Qinghong asked him about the meeting at night, Luo Lie said briefly, Ye Qinghong immediately heard the mystery, and said disdainfully: "This Bai Yunfei and Zhang Lingkong may have reached an agreement a long time ago, they want you to come out." ”

Luo Lie said: "Although we don't have much interest in the concession, and we won't be affected as much as they do, but if this situation in the concession continues, it will not benefit anyone, and it is the ordinary people who are unlucky." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "So, you plan to find a sparrow?"

Luo Lie said: "That depends on what you mean." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "I think even if you go, the sparrow may not help you get ahead." ”

Luo Lie said: "How do you know?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Because I'm a woman." ”

Luo Lie said: "I still plan to give it a try, but now even the Gospel Primary School has been affected, the teachers dare not go to class, and the children have no one to take care of them." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "I'll go." ”

Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Ye Qinghong was saying that she was going to meet with Sparrow, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate for you to go, right?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Better than you." ”

Luo Lie said: "You two are not even friends. ”

Ye Qinghong smiled and said: "So, only women know women's minds best!"

The sparrow called for a glass of red wine, Ye Qinghong only needed a cup of black tea, and when the sparrow habitually took out a cigarette, he was stopped by Ye Qinghong: "I'm sorry, I'm pregnant." ”

The sparrow's first reaction was that you are pregnant, what does it have to do with me? Why did you say it to me? But immediately she realized what Ye Qinghong meant, smiled faintly, and put the cigarette back: "Congratulations!"

Ye Qinghong said: "Thank you! What to eat?

Sparrow said: "I have a bad appetite for the past two days, and I can't eat." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "I don't want to eat it either, but Luo Lie has to let me eat it, in fact, I know, what he feels sorry for is our child." She beckoned to the waiter to come and order.

Sparrow looked at Ye Qinghong, and had to admit that Ye Qinghong was still so beautiful, since marrying Luo Lie, she was plumper than before, but more feminine.

Ye Qinghong didn't seem to notice her gaze, and concentrated on tasting the steak in front of her.

Sparrow suddenly said, "How does it feel to be a stepmother?"

Ye Qinghong said: "I regard Little Rainbow as my biological daughter, and she doesn't treat me as a stepmother. ”

Sparrow said: "But after all, it is not biological, and after your own child is born, there will be deviations in your heart, even if you don't admit it." ”

Ye Qinghong took a sip of black tea elegantly and laughed: "Actually, I knew Luo Lie earlier than you. ”

"Time doesn't mean anything, didn't Luo Lie marry Lan Ximei?"
