In the small talk with Sun Wei and others, before I knew it, the time was already ten o'clock in the evening.

At such a time, even in a prosperous place like the magic capital, most people are still in bed to rest.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Sun Wei planned to start arranging the best room in the house for these four distinguished guests.

It's just that the concubine was thoughtful, and after waving her hand, she said:

"No, we still have some plans in the future, and it's not convenient for people to know that we have a connection; So we can't sleep here tonight, and we have to keep our contact a secret. ”

Regarding this point, although the concubine did not discuss it with Wolf Qing and the other three in advance, they did not say anything based on their trust in their teammates.

Seeing this, Sun Wei immediately nodded.

But then the concubine asked again: "Don't you still have eight hundred taels of silver in your account?" Give us five hundred taels first, and we will be useful. ”

Although five hundred taels of silver is already most of the working capital of this small pawnshop.

Sun Wei also asked the old man, that is, Zhang Fuhai, who actually joined the Xuange camp in Yangcheng back then, but the concubines they didn't remember anymore took it and handed it over to the four people.

Five hundred taels of silver, and four hundred taels of silver were silver tickets.

After using a small baggage, the four of them quietly walked out of the pawnshop through the back door.

After walking a hundred and ten steps, Yun Qing finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked in a low voice:

"Guifei, what are you going to do? Although five hundred taels of silver is not much, such a guy almost didn't make a saliva, and their family funds were emptied. ”

Faced with the doubts of her teammates, the concubine shouted:

"It's not convenient to say here, just follow me, and when you get to the place, you will naturally make it clear to you; A group of big men, are you still afraid that I will sell you? ”

Seeing that the concubine had said everything to such a point, the three of them didn't say anything more.

It was very simple, and he followed the concubine into action; It's just that with the concubine's subsequent operation, the three of them are becoming more and more confused.

After the four of them walked more than a mile, they came to a foreign tailor's shop with a closed door.

At first, an old man of a legal person, when he saw four shabby-dressed young men enter, immediately put on a straight face, ready to drive them out.

As a result, after the concubine spoke in standard French, the three people who only spoke English and island Chinese did not know what she said, but the old man immediately smiled.

Later, the three of them knew that the concubine was originally going to be here to cut off some clothes that others had ordered.

Under normal circumstances, people specify that they will not agree.

But after the concubine smashed out two hundred taels of silver in one breath, the old man immediately agreed; Even if they didn't have the silver and silver tickets in their hands, they were almost half of them in a hurry.

But then again, the concubine is worthy of being a professional model, and the clothes are quite good.

With her help in the selection, the three gentlemen soon changed into new shirts that fitted each other, as well as a three-piece suit and a top hat.

It looks like it's a bit of a dog.

With their modern self-confident temperament, no one believes that they are young people.

The concubine herself even changed into a current most popular Crenolin skirt; It has a thin corset, and in addition to the tight-fitting murder clothes, it has a big skirt.

After being put on by the concubine, she became more and more fierce, with a thin waist and long legs.

With a delicate face and elegant demeanor, that one looks like a lady from a noble family, or the kind of big nobleman.

In the time that followed, the three men and one woman, dressed up in new costumes, continued to move forward.

Under their dress, the SIRs of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, who would come forward from time to time to investigate, did not dare to disturb at all.

Even some foreign devils solemnly took off their hats and saluted here.

Of course, only for the concubine.

In this way, the four of them finally came to the 'Zhongyang Hotel' on the Bund Road.

The main road here belongs to the predecessor of the famous 'Nanjing Road' in the later world, and the 'Zhongyang Hotel' is the famous 'Huizhong Hotel' in the later generations.

This is a three-story Western-style building, which is currently the best hotel in the magic capital.

After walking straight in, the concubine came to the front desk, and the language in her mouth was changed to English this time.

When the last two hundred taels of silver tickets were handed over, he said in a standard London accent: "Please give me, and my three retinues, a suite that is luxurious and spacious enough~"

After understanding the word 'entourage', the three of them all itched a little.

It's just that in view of the concubine, that unknown mysterious plan, there is no shouting for the time being,

Eventually, we entered a luxurious suite with a master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, and a living room.

The concubine, who closed the door of the room, took the initiative to talk about her plan without waiting for the three of them to ask; After opening his mouth, the three old men were a little dumbfounded:

"I want to rob the Sassoons, these bloody and sinful duck fillet dealers......"

******

The Sassoon family, the three wolf and green who know some about modern history, naturally know what they do.

Originally, it was just a family that was too broken to settle down, but through the trade between the East and the West, especially the trade with Daqing, it flourished in a very short period of time.

In its heyday, it was known as the "Rothschild of the East".

It's just that when they first started, they relied on duck slices to make amazing profits in the trade with Daqing; Even the outbreak of the first duck war, which this evil family worked hard to promote.

Later, in the port city and the magic capital, he used financial means to make crazy profits on this nation like a bloodsucking worm.

In short, according to Xuan Geying's consistent cognition, there is no good feeling for this family that has sin and greed in its blood.

When I thought about the start-up funds, how to solve it.

The first reaction in the concubine's brain was: robbed this girl.

Every penny on these duck fillet dealers is filled with the blood and tears of the people who grow flowers; It's great to snatch it back and use it to form and develop a resistant maritime force.

If you go to grab this girl, you don't have to spend a lot of money, dress like them, and live in the best hotel in the magic capital.

But the formation of a modern maritime force does not mean that silver is enough.

It would also require a number of new warships with the emerging steam-powered, steel-hulled warships, as well as officers who are familiar with the operations and tactics of modern navies.

More crucially, a modern naval force is simply a giant gold-swallowing beast.

No matter how much money is stolen from the Sassoon family, it can only support their long-term operation, so there must be a continuous source of money to transfuse blood for this sea power.

At the same time, once such a sea power is exposed, it will definitely trigger a blow from Daqing and the great powers.

It would be best if there was a well-established information network that could constantly get information before they were dispatched and inform the commanders of the maritime forces.

Therefore, this is the reason why the concubine took everyone to dress like this and stayed in the best hotel in the magic capital.

She wants to reopen the gold cave of 'Deyue Tower' in the 60-year-old magic capital.

On the one hand, it is used to get acquainted with all kinds of big people and talents, and open up some procurement channels for sensitive machinery, ships and equipment.

On the other hand, it is not only a huge source of revenue for the future.

They will also pass through here and gradually establish a force that belongs to them on the Demon Capital Dao; Not to mention the social people who dominate the magic capital, no matter how they drop, they must become an important force that cannot be ignored......

After listening to the concubine's ambitious plan, Wolf Qing and the other three looked at each other.

At the same time, I have to admit that this girl doesn't know if she is getting through the eight veins of the Qi Jing by Hu Biao, and now she is becoming more and more smart and clever.

So much so that the package proposed, which is called a pretty good, seems to be a bit tricky.

In the following time, the opinions put forward by the three of them were limited to some details of the operation, which made such a plan look more perfect.

And in such a plan, everyone is responsible for a piece, and a general division of labor is carried out.

After the discussion, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, they got into the carriage provided by the hotel and went straight out.

On the surface, it is natural that Ms. Anne, who has returned from overseas, plans to open a high-end club in the magic capital, and is currently inspecting the market and site selection.

Actually, their main purpose was to go to 'David Sassoon & Sons'.

Go to the vicinity of this target, do a preliminary step, and then prepare a plan to do it.

During the whole process of stepping on the spot, no one could have imagined that Ms. Anne, who looked elegant and charming, like an angel with a small flower umbrella, had some evil and violent thoughts in her heart.

So the whole process, that's called a smooth one.

Elias David Sassoon, the head of the family in the Magic City, even invited Lady Anne to visit their headquarters after a chance encounter.

It was agreed that after the 'Deyue Building' opened, he would definitely come to the door to cheer and so on.

It's just that when the smooth stepping point was completed, the concubine walked into the carriage with her skirt.

The group of four people who were in a good mood didn't notice that Henry Cavendis, who was already middle-aged, was stupid after inadvertently seeing the familiar face of the concubine in a passing carriage.
