Meng Xu'an spoke, and seeing that Zhao Jingyang's expression did not change at all, he nodded and said, "I don't expect you to care too much about this." ”

Then he said, "But the next news, you must like it." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Jingyang's narrow eyes opened slightly.

I heard Meng Xu'an say: "This news is related to Rong Dingkun's lifeline. ”

He said: "Shipping is not easy to do, when Boss Zhao wants to buy a ship, he must have thought: the world is not at peace." Rong Dingkun's shipping business has actually been in a state of loss. He spends his money too much! ”

Zhao Jingyang bowed.

The world is not peaceful, and shipping is naturally not good. At any port, the goods may be detained; When sailing at sea, you should also be wary of the warships of the Great Powers and other merchant ships that could become pirates at any time.

So wherever you go, the money will be sprinkled.

If you don't throw money around, you can't leave a few ships after a shipping trip.

Shipping does not make money, what is earned is the network, it is the network of interests.

Meng Xu'an continued: "Rong Dingkun's financial resources, there are still two at the moment; One is the fishing industry, where he monopolizes 80 percent of the fresh fish market in Shanghai; The second is tobacco. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jingyang's eyes narrowed even longer.

"In recent years, more and more news in the United States has been reprinted and exposed by newspapers, and the people no longer believe in the so-called gold and silver mountains, making it impossible for Rong Dingkun to continue his business of buying and selling human beings, and this source of wealth has dried up."

"And the profit of the fish shop is not high; In the entire Shanghai Beach, excluding your Boss Zhao's Hanhai, the total amount of fishery in a year is only 10 million oceans. Excluding all kinds of costs and all kinds of abnormal expenses, Rong Dingkun can grab two million oceans in the fishing industry. ”

"His most important source of wealth is tobacco."

"Rong Dingkun's fleet set off from Shanghai Tang to transport local products such as raw silk and porcelain to foreign countries for sale, and when they returned, they brought back a whole shipload of tobacco and soil."

"Some of this tobacco is scattered in the southern ports; The remaining six or seven percent are all on Shanghai Beach. ”

After a pause, he said: "Thirty or forty percent of the 'foreign soil' in the mouths of the smokers were brought back by Rong Dingkun's fleet. ”

Zhao Jingyang closed his eyes.

He said slowly: "Have you found a channel for Rong Dingkun to transport tobacco into Shanghai Beach?" ”

Meng Xu'an nodded, and shook his head again: "Rong Dingkun sent the tobacco into Shanghai Beach, and there is more than one channel; I've only found one of them. ”

Zhao Jingyang opened his eyes: "Okay." ”

He sat up straight: "I did this, let's say, which one?" Route, time. ”

People who have lost their conscience do the trade of tobacco and soil above board, but there are many uncertainties in sending the tobacco to Shanghai and selling it to each cigarette butt; Therefore, there needs to be a hidden and stable transportation channel.

This is the lifeblood of Rong Dingkun.

...

Gu Jingjiang had just welcomed Meng Xu'an into Zhao's mansion before, turned around and returned to the gate, and saw several cars coming in turn.

Seven or eight black suits got out of the car, and then a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt and a big-brimmed hat got out of the car, looked at it for a while, and then stepped forward unhurriedly.

Gu Jingjiang saw his style and knew that he was not a small character, so he hurriedly said: "The distinguished guests are here, and they are shining." ”

The man took off his big-brimmed hat and smiled kindly: "I know you, Gu Jingjiang." ”

Then he said, "I'm Lu Yusheng." I heard that Boss Zhao moved to the New Year, and I came to congratulate him. ”

Beckoning, a black suit will be sent to the gift box.

Gu Jingjiang hurriedly took it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Second Master Lu!" Please, please! ”

Yongxin's Second Master Lu, how many people don't know about Shanghai? Of course Gu Jingjiang had heard of it, but he hadn't seen it.

As he spoke, he gave a look to the half-grown son sent by Erniu to pick up the guests.

The boy rolled his eyes, turned and ran in.

Gu Jingjiang said: "Second Master Lu, please." ”

Lu Yusheng waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, there are still guests." ”

At this moment, someone got out of the car, but it was a woman.

This woman's body is extremely plump, convex and backward, and a pale red cheongsam is even more tempting. She wore a white fluffy shoulder on her cheongsam, and wore a small black silk gauze covered lady's hat, and her delicate face loomed.

His hands were also covered with a pair of long white silk gloves that reached to his elbows.

Gu Jingjiang glanced at it and couldn't help but say, "Who is this young lady?" ”

Boss Lu Er smiled: "Boss Zhao's housewarming, Lu has nothing to congratulate - this Miss Huanyan is the new top dancer in Xianle Gate, so she invited her to sing and dance for Boss Zhao's housewarming banquet." ”

Gu Jingjiang's heart turned, and he secretly said that this Second Master Lu is prepared!

According to Gu Jingjiang's understanding of his boss Zhao Jingyang - everything else is good, no matter the means and wisdom, it is heartbreaking; Just one, I seem to be very interested in women, especially beautiful women.

He thought about it, nodded to this Miss Huanyan, and then said to Lu Yusheng: "Second Master Lu has a heart, Second Master Lu, Miss Huanyan, please." ”

Here, Zhao Jingyang has received the news that Lu Yusheng has come to the door.

He smiled: "I have never crossed paths with Yongxin; Boss Meng, you said, what is the meaning of this Lu Er's sudden arrival today? ”

Meng Xu'an smiled and shook his head: "What can be the deep meaning?" Although Boss Zhao is a rookie, he is already wealthy; Yongxin is also on the mixed road, how dare you ignore it? ”

He also said: "Boss Zhao once met with Feng Jingyao, and Feng Jingyao is Wang Hansoul's biggest competitor. Lu Yusheng came here, and the meaning was clear at a glance. ”

Zhao Jingyang laughed: "Boss Meng's eyes are like torches." ”

Then he said: "Boss Lu Er came to the door in person, I can't help but give him face." Boss Meng was self-contained and unaccompanied. ”

The two talked, went out of Zhao Jingyang's study, and came downstairs, Meng Xu'an looked for others to chat with himself, and Zhao Jingyang looked at the door of the hall unhurriedly.

I saw Gu Jingjiang leading a man and a woman in.

The middle-aged man is of medium height, with a kind smile on his face, a big-brimmed hat in his hand, and he is talking to Gu Jingjiang in a low voice, this person must be Lu Yusheng, Yongxin's second boss.

The woman, Zhao Jingyang, couldn't help but freeze slightly at a glance.

Tsk, although the light gauze covers the face, and the whole face is not seen, the plump and graceful figure alone is unforgettable.

Gu Jingjiang shouted: "Boss! ”

Lu Yusheng and the woman looked at each other and met Zhao Jingyang's narrow and long Danfeng eyes.

At this glance, Lu Yusheng's heart shook, but the smile on his face was even worse, and before Gu Jingjiang could introduce him, he strode up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao is heroic, it is better to meet if he is really famous." Lu suddenly came to the door and looked at Haihan. ”

Zhao Jingyang also laughed: "Second Master Lu is here, and the humble house is shining. ”

said: "It was a small operation, but I never thought that a big man like Lu Erye would come, fortunately, fortunately." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

After you came and went with me this time, Lu Yusheng introduced: "Boss Zhao is happy to move, and Lu has nothing to congratulate; This is Miss Huanyan, the new top dancer in Xianle Gate, Lu is good at advocating, please come to sing and dance to cheer up..."

He chuckled and said, "Boss Zhao's romantic character, Miss Huan Yan admires her very much." ”
