Climbing over the wall to observe, the cook in the room was on vacation, and only the two nannies happily got some food for themselves in the side hall.

The dishes were bought ready-made, and the lord said that if he didn't come back for dinner, they would cook them casually and eat the rice of the master's house, which would save a sum of money.

Golden Velvet's bedroom was on the second floor, and Jiang Wen's people climbed into it and quickly locked the room.

Golden Velvet has a high seniority, and the people who can worship him as a teacher are now in Shanghai as long as they don't die, how can they be regarded as characters with heads and faces, and Golden Velvet specially uses a rather ancient wooden box to contain the names of these people.

It's easy to spot, right on the shelves.

The principal's name card is unique, and there is a small wooden box with a lock next to the wooden box.

It was expected that there would be a lock, and the members of the team who came to steal today were originally preparing a safe, and the lock of a simple wooden box was a bit overkill.

Successfully found Jiang's name post, stuffed it into his arms, went downstairs, and glanced downstairs, the nanny in the side hall was talking and laughing and cooking.

climbed over the wall and left, handed over the things to Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen handed them over to Liu Kai, and it was done.

Liu Kai sent a signal to Zhou Qinghe, and Zhou Qinghe, as the person who was asked, could take a posture and let them wait for the meeting, so he waited for Liu Kai's news at home.

When I received the news that the things had arrived, I was relieved at the moment.

That's when I went to the casino.

Entrance to Casino 181.

Zhang Xiaolin disregarded his identity as the boss of the Green Gang and greeted Zhou Qinghe in person, and he must give Zhou Qinghe enough face.

"Brother Zhou, you're here, hahahaha."

"Why is it so grand, it's not the first time I've come."

This treatment of Zhou Qinghe is a little strange, it is Huang Jinrong begging him, not Zhang Xiaolin begging him, why is this?

"Can that be the same?"

Zhang Xiaolin avoided Zhou Qing and the Japanese behind him, and leaned closer and said: "You used to be a guest, but today you are the owner here, the owner of the largest casino in Shanghai inspected the business on the first day, and this welcome ceremony must not be carried out?" I greet it personally. ”

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Qinghe shook his head with a smile.

"Do you want to make it public?"

Zhang Xiaolin didn't know if Zhou Qinghe was ready to say that this casino had his share.

"Then forget it." Of course, Zhou Qinghe refused, this kind of face-showing thing is not interesting.

"I understand, brother, your identity is here, so I didn't make it clear to my subordinates."

Zhang Xiaolin had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't like to be in the limelight, so he deliberately avoided the Japanese just now.

"But I asked people to arrange a room for Lingxin on the top floor, just the one next to me, if you want to come to rest or play in the future, come casually, I have greeted you."

"Thank you then."

"You're welcome."

The two walked into the elevator while talking, and arrived at Zhang Xiaolin's exclusive room, Golden Velvet was already waiting, and when he saw him, he didn't put up any shelf, and nodded with a smile on a cane.

Zhou Qinghe casually let the plainclothes gendarmes who protected him guard the door, and then walked in.

To some extent, he is similar to Golden Velvet, who is afraid of death and brings a bunch of his subordinates, and he has to pretend to be afraid of death, and he also has to bring a bunch of Japanese subordinates.

There are certainly inconvenient places, but the momentum of this posturing must be maintained.

"Mr. Zhou, there is a long way to go."

Huang Jinrong looked at Zhou Qinghe and sighed with emotion, he was just a doctor who had just come to Shanghai for the first time, and he didn't take it to heart.

Even in today's matter, it depends on whether Zhou Qinghe gives face or not, and whether he is willing to help.

He sighed and complained: "The old man is now frightened, and he really doesn't dare to show his face, for fear that if he offends someone, a bag of poison will be taken away for me." ”

"Mr. Huang is a well-known big man in Shanghai, and our Gendarmerie Command also kindly invited you to be the mayor of SH City. You say it was our people who did it, is there any evidence? ”

Zhou Qinghe's face was flat, as a Japanese, it was impossible to admit it.

"It's an old man's gaffe." Golden Velvet smiled bitterly: "But Mr. Zhou, you give a comment,

The day before yesterday, Tojo Shaosa came to my house to ask for 100,000 yen as military expenses, I didn't give it, and today there was a poisoning incident where a family member was tied up, isn't this too coincidental? ”

After speaking, Jin Rong waved his hand, and asked his subordinates on the side to bring a plate up, which contained the medicinal powder handed in by the cook.

Without waiting for Zhou Qinghe to speak, he continued: "I don't want to investigate what the actual situation is, I am old, and I am not the inspector of the French Concession, so I really don't have the energy."

I asked Xiaolin to help me meet Mr. Zhou today, just hoping that Mr. Zhou could let me go for the sake of me half-cut into the ground, and for the sake of Brother Xiaolin's face. ”

After saying that, Golden Velvet opened the lid of the box on the table, revealing a large amount of yen inside, and then smiled bitterly: "You want to find a way to help me rescue my family."

I know it's not your hand, and it's not Tojo Shaosa's hand, but the Gendarmerie Headquarters has great powers, and if you find someone, I think you can definitely find it, how about it? ”

This is relying on the old man to sell miserably, and his posture is extremely low, but if Zhou Qinghe really believes it, then he is stupid.

Outsiders don't know, he clearly knows that the relationship between this person and the principal is really not shallow, Du Yuesheng ran to Hong Kong, and this person dared to stay in Shanghai in the face of Japanese persecution, which is not a sign of courage.

If you really have no bottom in your heart, you are still dragging your family to grab ferry tickets at the port.

A figure who has been in the French Concession on the beach for many years can only be said to be extremely thick-skinned, can afford to put it down, and his figure is not an important thing in his eyes at all.

Show weakness first, if the negotiation is not appropriate today, he believes that Golden Velvet will definitely secretly retaliate when the time is ripe.

However, Zhou Qinghe doesn't plan to give him this opportunity, compared to letting him deal with Akio Tojo in the future, the money is still real.

The water on the beach will get muddy and muddy, so don't jump out of the golden velvet.

Zhou Qinghe looked at the 100,000 yen in the box, but didn't speak, before it was his turn to speak, it was his turn to do things for Zhang Xiaolin.

Silence is the beginning of the errand.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaolin received the signal and began to speak decently, selling face for Golden Velvet.

Zhou Qinghe listened for a long time, and then looked at Huang Jinrong and said with a light smile: "You can't talk nonsense without evidence, it will damage the reputation of our Great Japanese Empire, and it will also affect the relationship between Mr. Huang and our military police headquarters." ”

"Understood, I'll silence my men." Golden Velvet nodded.

"Your power and business are limited to the French Concession, and all foreign trade business has been abandoned, since you are old, then take a good rest."

"Yes." Although the golden velvet hesitated, it was decisive, and it was obviously a long time ago.

Zhou Qinghe smiled and picked up a stack of yen from the box to play: "Mr. Huang is really bold as a boss of the Green Gang, and now the military police command can believe that you are sincerely giving up." ”

"The old man really can't do it." Golden Velvet was still shaking his head and sighing helplessly.

"Whether you do it or not, it depends on who is the person in the gendarmerie headquarters who helps you speak."

Zhou Qinghe dropped the yen and looked at him, and lit up the pig-killing knife: "I have some small money in my hand recently, and I want to buy some property to collect rent, I don't know if Mr. Huang has any property he wants to sell?" ”

It cost 3.5 million to resell the big smoke to repair a garden, and if you don't knock a penny, Zhou Qinghe feels that tonight will be in vain.

can't just do things for Zhang Xiaolin.

Golden Velvet suddenly frowned, and looked at Zhang Xiaolin with a calm face and did not speak.

For him, it's still the same problem, he is not afraid of giving money, he is afraid that it will be endless, no matter how thick the meat on the pig's body is, it can't withstand the killing knife day by day.

Looking for Zhang Xiaolin to talk to Zhou Qinghe, instead of directly looking for Akio Tojo, in order to be Zhang Xiaolin's identity as a guarantor.

"I'll have a few words with Brother Zhou." Zhang Xiaolin is also very discerning.

When the golden velvet went out, Zhang Xiaolin immediately complimented him, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, thank you." ”

As soon as Qinghe opened his mouth this week, almost all of the business of Golden Velvet was cut off, and Du Yuesheng was not there, which means that he alone has the final say in the business of the Green Gang in the future.

For Zhang Xiaolin, that is reaching the peak of power!

Among the Chinese people in Shanghai, there is no one or the other.

"You're welcome."

Zhou Qinghe was not pretentious, and simply asked, "Is there anything good on this golden velvet?" I took $500,000 here, and I didn't raise the interest on it, so I had to spend it. ”

Zhang Xiaolin reciprocated the favor, and immediately came up with a kind idea: "This import and export business, brother, it is not interesting for you to ask for it, I am naturally indispensable to you, I think it is better to have some real estate business." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Let's not talk about the business in the French Concession, in the British Concession, he has a lot of real estate, for example, the Chinachem Hotel near your home, he has a 20% stake, and the coffee shop and tea house next to it, which is opened by his subordinates.

The cotton mills and yarn mills in the distance, and even the wharf steamship companies, which are more or less shared, I can't tell, there are too many disciples and so on. ”

"He has a stake in Chinachem Hotel?" Zhou Qinghe was surprised when he heard it: "As far as I know, is it British?" ”

Zhou Qinghe remembered that the information of the Intelligence Division of the Military Department recorded that the owner of the Chinachem Hotel was a British Jew who was very wealthy.

How rich is it? There are more than 1,800 properties in Shanghai.

Of course, there aren't that many of them now, because many of the buildings outside the concession have been destroyed.

Zhang Xiaolin leaned back in the chair and smiled indifferently: "Brother, this is doing business in Shanghai, without the consent of our Green Gang, can he eat?" Don't care about any business, as long as it's a business, if you want to make money in Shanghai, it depends on whether the Qinggang agrees.

Of course, now it depends on whether you agree or not, brother. ”

"It's a place where British Marines are standing guard, and I thought there was a military background in that place."

Although Zhou Qinghe had never seen this Jew, he knew that the forces behind this Jew were not small.

"Hahaha, the British army also has to eat, the exchanges are all favors, this is not a favor, and we don't have to give face." Zhang Xiaolin had a mocking look in his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "If it can't be done, can't it be bad?" ”

"Makes sense."

Sure enough, the little talent is the most difficult.

If it is a stake in Chinachem Hotel, not to mention, Zhou Qinghe is really interested.

He has also been to the Chinachem Hotel a lot of times, this place is on the Bund, close to his home, and the business must be good.

The most important thing is that if you take the equity of Chinachem Hotel, you can arrange for a subordinate to act as a lobby manager there, open the room in advance, or erase the opening record.

Under the condition that the Japanese subordinates follow him and protect him on a regular basis, it can not only facilitate his contact with Liu Kai and others, but also for the sake of the future struggle situation, it is not bad to use it for Tibetans.

The British Marines stood guard, and at least the Japanese could not blatantly search for them.

It's a safe spot for your subordinates.

It's just that 20% of the shares are less, and there is no right to speak when you listen to it.

"Do you know the person behind this, can I buy more?" Zhou Qinghe thought about it, and he was really interested in this Chinachem Hotel.

"Brother, I'm afraid this won't work."

Zhang Xiaolin took a sip of tea and said: "This Chinachem Hotel is the face of the British, whether it is sold or not, the twenty percent of the shares in the hands of Golden Velvet were also talked about for a long time at that time, people are not short of money, if it weren't for the sake of the Green Gang, twenty percent would not have been taken out." ”

"That's it, forget it."

Let's talk about it when I have a chance later, and there will be time to think about it later.

"How much does Brother Zhang think I should spend on the two percent shares?"

Zhang Xiaolin smiled slightly: "In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, the land price alone cost 2 million oceans, plus the construction cost and decoration cost, a total of more than 7 million oceans.

According to the market price, how can 20% of the shares get 3 million oceans today, but at that time, these 20% shares were given to the Qingbang by 200,000 oceans, so that I came out of the money, brother, you don't care, no matter what the price of the golden velvet is, more or less is mine. ”

"Brother Zhang is so polite?"

That Zhou Qinghe could only be polite.

The architecture of the Bund is really expensive.

3 million oceans, more than one million US dollars, Zhang Xiaolin is really not in vain.

Next is the conversation time between Zhang Xiaolin and Huang Jinrong, with Zhou Qinghe's guarantee, Huang Jinrong is also willing to solve the problem at one time.

The conversation was quite pleasant, and it didn't take much time for Golden Velvet to let people get the contract at that time.

The three of them waited while eating, and when they came back with the contract, they signed a new one, and 20% of the shares of the Chinachem Hotel were in the hands of Zhou Qinghe.

The things were in hand, saving a million dollars, and Zhou Qinghe was ready to leave.

"Mr. Zhou, I hope you can help as soon as possible about saving people."

Zhou Qinghe nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I will help you find someone, but there is something I still want Mr. Huang to do." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Since someone poisoned you, then you will be poisoned, and the poison will spoil your brain, and the gendarmerie command will not be interested in you, don't you say?"

Golden Velvet's eyes moved and nodded: "I understand, the old man will go home and promise to be poisoned." ”

"Okay, goodbye."

Zhou Qinghe took his things and left.

This new industry has to be seen, although I have seen it before, but now it is different from the past, and the mentality is different.

Zhou Qinghe drove downstairs to the Chinachem Hotel.

Chinachem Hotel has 12 floors, 77 meters high, with the ground floor merchant downstairs and the guest rooms upstairs.

After signing the contract, Golden Velvet told him that this place is actually very profitable, and the Jews leased it to their subsidiary, and the annual rental income was 650,000 oceans, and the distribution to him was a stable 150,000 oceans per year.

Therefore, it seems that the investment of 7 million oceans was very expensive, but in fact, all the investment costs can be recovered in twelve or three years, and according to the history of the concession for nearly a hundred years, as long as the Chinese cannot recover the concession, this Jew can earn a lot of money in the future.

The Jews are called Sassoon.

Zhang Xiaolin told Zhou Qinghe that after a long time of talking, Sassoon agreed to give 20% of the shares to Golden Cashmere, saying that it was due to the pressure of the Green Gang.

This is not true or not, there is an insider Zhang Xiaolin who didn't say it, but Zhou Qinghe has read the internal information of the Japanese, the Sassoon family relied on opium, and their family was behind the first Opium War.

When Humen sold cigarettes, half of the opium sold was shipped to China by the Sassoon family.

Therefore, when the Sassoon family returned to Shanghai, it was indispensable to do opium business, which inevitably clashed with the Qing Gang, and did not give shares, how could Golden Velvet agree?

Therefore, it is true to be forced by pressure, but it is also false to be forced by pressure, Zhou Qing and Guess Sassoon want to use the power of Golden Velvet to sell opium to the whole of China more smoothly, which is the goal.

"It's so enjoyable."

Zhou Qinghe looked up at the top floor, where Sassoon lived in Shanghai, the Sassoon Presidential Suite on the top floor of the Chinachem Hotel, and the top floor overlooked the entire Bund, which was Sassoon's private domain.

Of course, Sassoon was not this Sassoon when Humen sold cigarettes, his father was called Sassoon, and he was also called Sassoon.

But it's not a good thing.

The Japanese are good at grabbing, and he Zhou Qinghe is now Japanese.

Entering the door and going upstairs, the waiter asked Zhou Qinghe how many floors he went to so that he could help press the elevator.

Zhou Qinghe casually said to go to the top floor.

At this time, the waiter had something to say: "Please show the key to the next room." ”

As a top hotel, Chinachem Hotel naturally has to achieve the ultimate in security and privacy, but the lobby manager has the discernment to pay the price.

He had seen Zhou Qinghe, and immediately walked over: "I'll come, Mr. Fujita is our guest of honor, is Mr. Fujita here to stay in the hotel or to find someone?" ”

"Be your boss."

Zhou Qinghe took out the share transfer documents and lit up: "Find Mr. Sassoon." ”

The lobby manager's mouth can be turned into an O-shape, but the quality is good, and he immediately calms down and smiles brighter.

"Welcome boss, then you wait, I'll make a call."

Sassoon obviously didn't expect Golden Velvet to sell such a chicken that laid golden eggs, and he was still a little angry about this without his consent.

However, he heard that the buyer was Kazukiyo Fujita, so he was interested again.

The Japanese are powerful, and the key is to be unreasonable, which is a very dangerous signal for the asset-heavy industry.

A good example of this is the house outside the concession, where a shell says it's gone.

If you can catch up with Zhou Qinghe and unite with the Japanese, this will be a big guarantee for business.

Zhou Qinghe met Sassoon in the presidential suite on the top floor, how luxurious this room is.

The wine table on the rooftop of the top floor, looking at the entire Bund scenery from afar, is indeed a kind of life enjoyment.

"Congratulations, Mr. Fujita." Sassoon handed over a glass of red wine and said with a smile: "I would like to welcome Mr. Fujita's arrival. ”

Zhou Qinghe took the wine glass and shook it, his tone was a little strange: "What do you welcome me?" ”

Sassoon raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Fujita seems to be a little dissatisfied with me?" ”
