Chapter 281: Carnival Night

A hundred years ago, the Shanghai Sea was divided by the Western powers and the Dongying people, and the Shanghai Sea was divided into pieces in the form of a concession. The presence of these foreign forces prospered the small fishing village of Huhai, but also humiliated the Chinese people. However, the so-called concession of Huhai is different from that of Xiangjiang and Haojiang, a casino city, in that it is not an agreement signed by the government of the previous dynasty in the name of the state to lease the Huhai to those countries. Instead, it was rented by merchants from various countries from landlords in Shanghai, and it was also known as a foreigner's settlement where Chinese and foreign people lived.

The French Concession was once the best of the four major concessions. The environment is also the best, a hundred years later, there are no people here, but in recent years, more and more foreigners here have gathered here, and there is a bit of the scene of the foreigner's residence in the past.

Changle Road is located in the center of Shanghai, and it is also the place where the most old buildings in the entire Shanghai are preserved.

It's at midnight that the street shows its true charm, with all kinds of bars and fine late-night shops.

There is the best hot mutton restaurant in Shanghai, and legend has it that the mutton here will never take more than an hour from the live lamb to the entrance of the guests. There's also a 24-hour Shanghai Pai noodle restaurant with only 10 tables, but the seats are never empty all year round. In the attic of the small alley, there is a white chicken shop with only three tables, which only sells ten chickens a day, opens at twelve o'clock at midnight, and closes when it is sold out, and the chickens here are very expensive, and you can eat ten chickens outside to eat one chicken here, but it is still full every day.

In addition to authentic Shanghai and Haihai cuisine on this street, you can also eat the most authentic cuisine of various countries, and sometimes the restaurant is the same.

Most of the shops here are open at night, mostly for night owls, and gradually a unique social circle has been formed, and people in need come here in the evening to enter a bar of their own, where they will always meet like-minded people.

"Drink, let's keep drinking."

"There's a bar here. Go inside and take a look."

A few drunken young men came to the door of the bar with their shoulders hooked.

A few people were just about to enter the bar, when a huge fat man stood in front of them.

"Get out of the way." One of the three drunks stepped forward and reached out to push the fat man.

The fat man didn't avoid it, and the young man pushed him, the fat man didn't move, and he didn't even tremble the fat on his body, and the drunk himself even took a few steps back and retreated to the road.

The three young men sobered up a little at this time, and looked up to see a small neon sign next to the door of the single-room store, which read the words "Happy Night". Their wine woke up at once, and several people helped each other to leave quickly.

This is a very special bar, and this is a bar that only people can enter.

A young man in his twenties, dressed in casual clothes and with his hands in his pockets, walked leisurely to the door of the store on Yanhuan Night, followed by a man, two women.

"Young Master is here."

A middle-aged man in a crisp suit behind the boy said

"Ah Fu, go knock on the door."

"It's the young master."

Ah Fu came to the door of the store, and gently patted the shoulder of the fat man at the door with his palm, and the fat man couldn't stand the force and knelt down on one knee.

The fat man who was beaten was not annoyed, but stood up with a flattering smile on his face and made a gesture of please. Welcome a few people into the store.

The small façade of the night is small, but there is another place in the store, a small band singing some jazz music on the stage in the middle of the bar, and the floor is covered with a hard wooden floor, which seems to be slightly elastic when stepped on.

The mixed-race girl behind the young man jumped twice on the floor and stepped forward and said to the young man, "Young master, this floor is a mahogany floor, and there are springs installed under the floor."

"Why are there springs under the floor?" Another woman, who was older, asked

"It is said that a hundred years ago, the best dance hall in Shanghai was called Paramount Gate, and the dance floor there was like this, and the springs were laid under the floor to make the dance steps more beautiful. Young master, all the building materials here are not simple to decorate, they are all old objects."

The young man, who had been careless, seemed to be interested, "Is it? All?"

"Yes, young master, look at the wall lamps there, they are glazed, and you look at those crystal red wine glasses on the bar, they are old crystal cups from a hundred years ago in France, and the patterns on the walls of the cups are made of acid etching process, although these cups are not priceless, but there are so many here, I think the same cups all over the world should be here, this is not simple."

At this time, a woman wearing a cheongsam stepped forward and led several people to a box on the second floor, and there were already three Europa people sitting in the box, these three were acquaintances, Heinze von of the German Feng family, Margaret Capet of the French Capet family, and Henry Russell of the English Russell family, Henry was one of the two teenagers on the train that year, and he had grown into a burly young man at this time.

The woman in the cheongsam just wanted to leave, and Ah Fu stopped her. Ah Fu handed a photograph and a gold brick to the woman.

"Qin, you're here, I haven't seen you for a long time."

At this time, Qin Dao was very different from him a few years ago, the sword-like edge of his youth had completely dissipated, and the whole person was like a gust of wind, a touch of fragrance, everyone had the same feeling, the original diamond-like shine, now it has become a pebble in a stream. The rough needs to be polished to become a dazzling gemstone, and it is really scary when the gem has all its brilliance, because no one knows when it will shine.

Heinze Feng gave Qin Dao a big hug.

"Where have you been all these years?"

"The world has come full circle."

"Your cousin hasn't been found yet."

"Nope."

"We've searched all over Europa, and I can guarantee she's not in Europa."

Qin Dao glanced at the several bottles of national wine on the table and said with a slight smile

"I still like this."

"Nature. Come and we'll have a drink."

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the box was much warmer.

Henry Russell suddenly asked, "I wonder what's the point of calling us to Huhai this time?" The young man had a serious face, and it was obvious that the young man's cultivation skills were average, and he asked the questions that everyone wanted to ask when it was out of place.

At this time, everyone stopped drinking and looked at Qin Dao.

"You Europa are no longer good."

This sentence made the atmosphere in the box quieter.

Qin Dao looked at Henry Russell and said, "You have basically lost control of your country, the crisis of division and the bursting of the Internet bubble a few years ago have shattered your internal body, those members of the upper and lower parliaments are now like a group of puppets, you may only be exhausted now, I can only mourn for you."

Now Qin Dao's tone of voice was as plain as water, but every word was like a knife, deeply stabbing the proud Henry Russell.

Qin Dao looked at Heince again.

Heinze coughed and said with a strong spirit, "Five years ago, you told me that there would be a war within Europa, and I didn't believe it, and secretly laughed at you, but I didn't expect it to come true the next year. A war has torn apart a Western European Yugoslav Federation."

"The war in Western Europe caused the currency of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to collapse, which put great pressure on the currency value of your Europa dollar, and also had a huge impact on the exchange rate of the Europa dollar. When you react, the war has escalated and the world is unsure of what will happen next, which also leads to a loss of trust in your currency, reducing its credibility and stability in the market. This battle has broken your Europa's spine."

"Twenty percent, we've only lost twenty percent."

Qin Dao looked at Heinze like a fool, "This twenty percent is almost all I put in. A trillion Lianzhong coins went to North America. Originally, you still had a chance to make up for it, but you still didn't do anything when they started the Middle East war three years ago. The war maniac in the Middle East exchanged his Lianzhong coins for Europa coins, you know what a good start, you had a chance to take back the dominance, even if you couldn't hurt them, but when you did

When the whole of East Asia fights for the past, you can compete with them for at least twenty more years, and you watch them destroy a country. Those people even used a small jar to wash your clothes as an excuse, and the battle sucked half of your spinal cord off. How long will your Germany last?"

"Ten years."

"Ten years from now, you're going to lose control of the whole of Germany, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Well, I know you've done your best. If you Europa had worked together, the United States would not exist."

"Qin, I feel very sorry for you, the original promise, your funds can't be returned to you now."

"Keep the money for the time being, I expected your failure. Struggle with yourselves."

Qin Dao looked at Margaret Capet again, and Margaret Capet suddenly felt that the hairs on her body were strong.

"You're doing a good job." Qin Dao smiled at Margaret Capet.

"Why did they do a good job?" Henry Russell was clearly upset.

"They're great, a friend of mine told me that there's always been a chaotic force in the whole of France, and this chaos can create chaos, chaos can create death, and it can bring life, and no one can fully master France."

Margaret Capet said, "Young Master Qin, you haven't said it yet, why did you call us to Huhai?"

"This time they consciously want to deal with Huaxia, I called you here because I don't want you to be too involved."

Margaret Capet added, "Well, what did you call us to this bar for?"

"This is a place where people exchange information, I just gave them Huiling's photo, I heard that as long as the boss here collects money, there is no one who can't be found. But that's not the main thing, there's going to be a big show here today."

"What a big show"

"Someone wants to take this place. Carnival night is about to begin."
