Inside the study.

Looking at the man opposite him who was leaning on the back of the chair and smoking a cigar casually, Ding Li's brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes stretched.

"In other words, what Ah Xing said just now was a joke?"

"Hahaha"

Zheng Jirong bit his cigar and smiled: "Could it be that Boss Ding has already believed what Ah Xing said?" ”

Ding Li shook his head slowly, "It's not true, it's just that what he said is clear-eyed, and it sounds quite interesting at first glance." ”

"Just like I said just now", Zheng Jirong looked at him and said: "We have been staying abroad for so many years, Ah Xing, this guy is a little homesick, and his personality itself is out of bounds, so he will say some shocking words." ”

"Hmm"

Ding Li glanced at Zheng Jirong in front of him, and asked casually: "I don't know which country Mr. Zheng has stayed in all these years?" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Jirong pointed his finger and gestured around: "Three years in the West, three years in the East, and three years in the South."

"Oh? Then why don't you go to Beiyang again? ”

"Let's this is Beiyang"

"Ahem", Ding Li immediately coughed lightly twice, and then pretended to be puzzled: "So Mr. Zheng has been staying abroad for so many years? ”

"That's right", Zheng Jirong nodded and admitted: "Do the math, it's been nearly ten years." ”

Ding Li's expression became more and more puzzled after hearing this, "I don't understand this, compared with foreign countries, the warlords in our ZG are now divided, and the people are not famous, Mr. Zheng is not enjoying the blessings of foreign countries, why did he run back again?" ”

"No matter how good it is abroad, it is not the place where I was born and raised after all", Zheng Jirong sighed lightly when he heard this, and sighed: "As the so-called people leave their hometowns, the longer they live abroad, the more homesick I will be. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing his words, Ding Li instantly became in awe, "I don't know what Mr. Zheng learned when he was abroad?" ”

"Linguistics!"

"Linguistics?"

"That's right!"

Zheng Jirong exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly: "I am proficient in the languages of eighteen countries around the world, including English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese and other countries, and I can communicate with them as if they were my mother tongue. ”

"Ox break."

Ding Li, a fruit seller, didn't know what linguistics was, but just hearing that Zheng Jirong could speak so many words from so many countries had already shocked him enough.

What kind of talent is this?

"That's right", Ding Li didn't know what he thought, and suddenly puzzled: "Since you can speak so many countries, why don't you learn American dialect specifically?" ”

"Eh" Zheng Jirong didn't know what to say.

Seeing his hesitant appearance, Ding Li thought that he had said something unspeakable about others, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zheng, don't mind, if you don't want to answer, it's okay." ”

Zheng Jirong had no choice but to explain with a smile: "Boss Ding doesn't know, this American dialect is actually British dialect, more than a hundred years ago, the United States was still a colony of the British, so they have always spoken English. ”

Ding Li was stunned when he heard this, and then replied in hindsight: "Yes, I forgot just now, it seems that there is such a thing."

Zheng Jirong saw that the atmosphere in the venue was a little embarrassing, so he casually said a few interesting things abroad, and soon talked and laughed with Ding Li again.

"Speaking of this English country, it is not a monolith, the Scots and Irish in the country often revolt, the Scots are the most interesting, men like to wear skirts, or the kind of red and purple skirts. Plus small leather shoes and stockings, good guy, just look at yourself and think it's a woman! ”

"Hahahaha", Ding Li laughed and said: "Aren't all Scottish men rabbits? ”

"Isn't it, the so-called bullshit gentleman, what he usually loves most is to engage in men", Zheng Jirong then joked: "But compared with the Welsh, they are indeed gentlemen." ”

"Oh? Could it be that the Welsh also engage in men? ”

"No, they do ewes."

"Ewes?" Ding Li was dumbfounded and said, "Sheep can also do it?" ”

Zheng Jirong squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "There is an idiom in our country called [Sheep Intestine Path], which must still have a history. ”

Ding Li was stunned for more than ten seconds before he reacted, and then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Mr. Zheng's experience abroad was really interesting"

After carefully examining Zheng Jirong, he directly asked: "Since Mr. Zheng has just returned to China, he must not have found a suitable job yet, why don't you stay with me and be a foreign secretary?" ”

"Foreign secretary?"

Zheng Jirong said strangely: "Shouldn't the foreigners who can cross the sea and come to the East in this era all speak Chinese?" ”

"That's right."

Ding Li smiled and did not answer his words directly, in fact, the reason was that at a drinking party a few days ago, he met Zhang Wanlin, who is also the four heavenly kings of Shanghai Beach, this old guy is not only the most powerful in Shanghai Beach, but even the score is not small, and he actually brought three secretaries to a drinking party, a Chinese secretary, an English secretary, and a French secretary.

This is a few levels higher than what he pretended to be, and he instantly raised himself.

Although Ding Li was famous in Shanghai Tan before, in the final analysis, he was only mixed up behind Xu Wenqiang, and now that Xu Wenqiang is dead, he is also in the first place in the gang.

Naturally, I also want to put the boss's score in front of outsiders.

"Mr. Zheng, don't worry, I will never treat you badly with your talents"

Seeing that Ding Li actually began to persuade himself to work for him, Zheng Jirong smiled dumbly and said: "It seems that Mr. Ding has misunderstood, I took my brothers back to China this time, and I have no intention of serving anyone." ”

"Oh?"

After being rejected, Ding Li didn't have any annoyance, but asked curiously, "Then what are you going to do?"

Zheng Jirong suddenly got up from the chair at this time, made a set of gestures with his right hand holding a cigar that he had never seen before, and said in a vigorous voice: "The earthquake is high, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful."

Seeing this sudden scene, Ding Li, who had just become the boss for a few days, was stunned and said: "It turns out that Mr. Zheng is from Hongmen. ”

Seeing that this guy couldn't speak to Hongmen, a trace of doubt flashed in Zheng Jirong's eyes, didn't all the stall literature he had seen in his previous life say that Xu Wenqiang's prototype came from Hongmen, as his head horse, how could Ding Li not even be able to say such a simple code word.

"Zheng Jirong of Wuzhou Hongmen General Hall, I have seen Boss Ding again."

"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to be polite", Ding Li hurriedly got up and saluted back, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. Zheng's position is in Hongmen?" ”

Zheng Jirong replied without changing his face when he heard this: "Lord of Texas incense." ”

"Texas?" Ding Li was surprised: "Isn't that in Shandong?" ”

"This"

Zheng Jirong immediately explained: "I mean Texas, USA."

"Ahh I see! ”

Ding Li's face instantly became a little unbearable, it had only been half an hour since he saw Zheng Jirong, but he had already made several ugliness in succession.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Zheng to be able to become the owner of a place of incense in Hongmen at such a young age, which is disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

The Hongmen incense lord, similar to the leader of the first district of the later generations and Liansheng or the hall master of Hongxing, can be said to be second only to the leader and the marshal in Hongmen.

As a branch of Hongmen on Hong Kong Island, Heliansheng retains a lot of communication gestures and codes about the Hongmen brothers outside the ancestral hall, and Zheng Jirong, who is the speaker of the association, has also read a lot when he has nothing to do.

As for the identity of this Texas incense owner, he can't tell Ding Li that he is the Hong Kong Island incense owner decades later, anyway, he will only stay in this time and space for three months at most, and he doesn't believe that someone will go to check on him.

"Mr. Ding doesn't have to be polite", Zheng Jirong raised his hand and pointed to the chair, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "I can't hide it, in fact, I, the incense master, spent thousands of dollars to buy it before returning to China. ”

Ding Li was suddenly shocked and said, "Bought it? ”

"That's right, I bought it!"

Zheng Jirong explained: "The people of Texas are fierce, and the local whites crowd out the power from any other country, and Hongmen has not been able to develop in Texas, so they will sell me this position of incense owner." ”

Hearing his words, Ding Li nodded in understanding, and the attention in his eyes dissipated a lot.

Zheng Jirong didn't care about the change in his attitude, he pointed to his chest at this time and said: "Zheng someone, the incense owner, bought it, and the identity was bought to make money. Moreover, I don't like to earn money from the poor. ”

Ding Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "Then whose money do you want to earn?" ”

"Whoever has money earns it."

"And who has the money?"

Zheng Jirong pointed his finger at Ding Li on the opposite side and replied, "You have money." ”

"Hahaha", Ding Li raised his head and smiled: "Refreshing, Lord Zheng Xiang likes to take whatever he likes, just take it as a meeting gift from my Ding Li." ”

Zheng Jirong shook his head and chuckled: "I am the master of Hongmen Xiang, not the Qinggang gangsters. We Hongmen people, to make money, we have to pay attention to the right name. ”

"Makes sense"

Ding Li slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the man opposite and asked, "Then how do you want to use Hongmen's identity as a incense master to make money in Shanghai?" ”

"Turf!"

Syllable!

Zheng Jirong slapped the table, pointed out the window and said: "Shanghai Tang, the largest metropolis in the Far East, as long as there is a piece of land here that belongs to me, then I can make money!" ”

"That's good", Ding Li flicked the cigarette ash, and then slowly shook his head: "But it's difficult." ”

He raised his eyes and looked out the window and said: "There are countless gangs in the entire Shanghai Tang, and there are at least twenty or thirty gangs according to rough statistics, and the four largest of them are known as the [Four Heavenly Kings of Shanghai]. ”

"Smuggling tobacco, opening casinos, nightclubs, dance halls, and even buying and selling people to build railways abroad, do whatever you want to make money."

He then turned his head to look at Zheng Jirong and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, the other three are doing the business of buying and selling people, and Brother Qiang has always disdained selling people to make money when he was alive." ”

Then there's smuggling smoke

Zheng Jirong nodded and did not comment.

"When I first met Lord Zheng Xiang, I knew that you were not an ordinary person."

Ding Li looked at him and said: "It's not a raptor but a river, presumably Mr. Zheng has already thought about the goal of starting when he comes to Shanghai this time, right?" ”

"No", Zheng Jirong said honestly: "Our brother was separated when he first came to Shanghai Beach, and now that he hasn't found it all, how can he think of a good goal." ”

Hearing his words, Ding Li turned to ask out of curiosity in his heart, "I don't know how many people Lord Zheng Xiang brought over this time?" ”

Zheng Jirong directly raised four fingers when he heard this.

"Four hundred?"

Ding Li frowned and said, "If you raid secretly, it's almost enough." ”

"No, no, no", Zheng Jirong interrupted: "It's me, four people." ”

"What?"

Ding Li was stunned for a moment and said, "The four of you want to grab land in Shanghai?" ”

"Isn't it enough?"

Zheng Jirong asked with a smile: "Boss Ding, do you know who instructed Mr. Xu Wenqiang to kill him?" ”

After Ding Li glanced at him, he said slowly: "It's Zhang Wanlin's guy who sent Lei Laohu to do it." ”

Seeing that this guy was clear about these things, Zheng Jirong no longer beat around the bush, he said directly: "The newspaper shows that the time of Mr. Xu's death was three days ago, and Boss Ding, your strength in Shanghai Beach failed to win Lei Laohu for three days, and on the first day that Ah Xing came, he was able to punch him to death under the protection of dozens of people, doesn't this prove my strength?" ”

After speaking, he approached Ding Li again and said, "I might as well tell you that Ah Xing is still the most advanced among my brothers."

After listening to his words, Ding Li was silent for a while, and then suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Zheng is really not an ordinary person, speaking of which, if you want to gain a foothold in Shanghai, I really have a good place for you." ”

"Really?"

Zheng Jirong arched his hand and said, "Boss Ding, please speak." ”

"Axe. Help! ”

"The Axe Gang?"

"Yes, the Axe Gang!"

Zheng Jirong tapped his fingers on the table and asked lightly, "Then why is this Axe Gang a good place to go?" ”

"Lord Zheng Xiang doesn't know", Ding Li approached him and explained: "When the previous leader of the Axe Gang was alive, he was a very famous [Jianghuai Hero] and [Assassination King] in Shanghai, specializing in dealing with rich businessmen who oppressed workers and lackeys and female cadres from other countries. ”

"It's a pity. Since the death of the Wang gang leader half a year ago, the position of the gang leader of the Axe Gang has fallen into the hands of Chen Chen's waste, this guy not only eats, drinks, gambles, and smokes all kinds of drugs, but also does things insidiously and viciously, does not pay attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes at all, and even takes refuge in foreigners as their lackeys. ”

"Do you think such a person should be killed?"

"Naturally, you should be killed, though."

Zheng Jirong raised his eyes and looked at Ding Li and asked, "What do you have to do with Boss Ding?" ”

"Hehe, I do have an enmity with him, but is this important? You must know that my enmity with Zhang Wanlin is even greater. The territory of Shanghai Tang is like this, the four heavenly kings have one less scum and one more friend, why don't I do it? ”

Ding Li shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and then said to Zheng Jirong: "I can tell you all his whereabouts, and if you don't have enough manpower, I can also send some fresh faces to help you." ”

"Oh?" Zheng Jirong looked sideways and said, "After that happens?" ”

"The Axe Gang's territory is open to us"

Syllable!

Zheng Jirong suddenly slapped the table, waved his hand and said, "No need! Isn't it just a little axe gang, do him! ”

He said to Ding Li: "Boss Ding doesn't have to worry about this anymore, just wait for my good news at home." ”

“.”

Ding Li stared at Zheng Jirong without saying a word, he didn't want his information or his manpower, so what did you come to me for?

Just when he was puzzled, Zheng Jirong followed up and said: "But there is something that still has to trouble Boss Ding, listen to your meaning, the Axe Gang is now following the foreigners, then when the time comes, the foreigners hope that you can help me deal with one or two." ”

"Hahahaha."

Ding Li shook his head and said with a smile: "You are worthy of Ah Xing's eldest brother, you are really greedy enough." ”

After thinking for a while, he said to Zheng Jirong: "There will be a rich cocktail party on Haig Road tomorrow night, and many big people in Shanghai will be there, and I will take you to recognize people when the time comes." ”

"Regal Cocktail Party."
