Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shanghai, Shengjia Garden, the chess and card room was filled with smoke. The three card players who had been playing fiercely for two days were all holding on, their eyes were bloodshot and they were tired.  Only Sheng Laosi had a happy face, a cigarette in his mouth, and he took his time and picked up a mahjong tile from the card table from time to time.  Judging from his years of experience at the poker table, his luck during this period was almost unbelievable. He did not lose money, but actually won a lot.  It¡¯s enough to buy a small garden house at a relatively low price in the French Concession.  Although Sheng Enyi, who owns hundreds of properties, doesn¡¯t care about the value of one property at all.  But I can¡¯t stand the fact that I always lost money in the past and gave others the reputation of being a good-luck boy.  But now the pleasure of killing everyone made him so excited that he couldn't feel the tiredness of not sleeping for two days and two nights.  He truly realized the supreme truth that mahjong can also make a fortune.  This wonderful feeling will always remain on his face, but Lu Xiaojia, who originally regarded him as a money-spreading boy, frowned and dealt with the arrogance of the complacent Sheng Enyi.  "What's going on?" Lu Xiaojia couldn't help but start to wonder if she had encountered something unclean in her life.  Even he lamented that it was such a bad year that even the fourth son of the Sheng family became the target of his fawning.  I lamented in my heart: What kind of world is this!  Even though Lu Xiaojia despised Sheng Laosi in her heart, she did not dare to attack Sheng Enyi's elegance.  Is he just unlucky? Playing mahjong with Sheng Laosi, he might lose money because of the crime?  This is definitely not a matter of luck, but that he deliberately lost money to the other party.  It's just that Sheng Laosi didn't think of it, or he was just pretending to be stupid.  I think back then, he was tricked and lost a house in an alley to Lu Yongxiang in one night. He knew it was a scam, but Sheng Laosi did not default on the debt and was willing to admit defeat. Brand is his character. From this aspect, Mr. Sheng's family  Four's brands are top-notch.  Of course, some people say that he is stupid. Sheng Enyi just has no ambition and is not really stupid.  He doesn't care about this little thing. If he has money, he is willful.  Lu Xiaojia came to play cards with Sheng Enyi with a purpose. The purpose was very simple. He needed the other party's connections in the young man circle in Shanghai to talk to the Xi family. Who let him squeeze a lot of raw silk in his hands?  What Lu Xiaojia never expected was that in the past, two foreign companies, Jardine and Taikoo, were major acquirers in the raw silk industry and almost monopolized most of the raw silk exports in the Republic of China.  But this year, these two foreign companies stopped doing raw silk business. It can't be said that they don't do it, but they don't do it with Lu Xiaojia. This made the eldest son of the Republic of China very angry. But when he went out to inquire, it turned out that these two foreign companies also did not do business with Lu Xiaojia.  It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t do raw silk business, but we only purchase from import and export companies recognized by the Zhejiang government and have trade licenses.  As for him he is not within the scope of consideration of these two foreign companies at all.  After all, two foreign companies have silk reeling factories in Shanghai, and the demand for raw silk is quite large every year.  Lu Xiaojia is one of the four great princes of the Republic of China. He was and is still is. After all, his father Lu Yongxiang is still the current military governor.  But the problem is that even if the British don't give him face, there is nothing he can do.  As for why the British surrendered to Wang Xueqian from Zhejiang, Lu Xiaojia knew this. Wang Xueqian beat the British to pain and fear, and subdued the British who were soft and afraid of the hard.  Unless his father Lu Yongxiang also finds a British fleet and kills them.  Otherwise, the British will never treat Lu Yongxiang as a person.  It¡¯s better not to have this idea. Calling the navy in Lu Yongxiang¡¯s hands a fleet is completely shameless.  There were only a few patrol boats patrolling the river, and they couldn't even keep a British frigate, let alone a fleet. It was pretty good not to be bullied by the British.  Since the two foreign banks with the largest purchase volume of raw silk do not cooperate with him, Lu Xiaojia can only find other ways. The most ideal partners are HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, which have similar business operations to Swire Bank.  Standard Chartered Bank is run by British people, and Chinese people are not easy to talk to.  But HSBC is different. The Xi family has the final say. As long as the Xi family nods, the business will be considered a success.  Banks with British capital also do some raw material trading, but the volume is not as large as that of Swire and Jardine.  But even so, he should be able to sell all the raw silk squeezed in his hands in one go.  Lu Xiaojia thought about it, and he would not dare to do business that he was not familiar with in the future.  As for why he, who originally dealt in some in-demand commodities, suddenly entered the raw silk raw material business, it was not a business given to him by Nanxun merchants.  Lu Xiaojia was not clear at first, but now she has seen through it. When Zhang Jingjiang gathered a group of Jianghu people and local Zhejiang factions in Hangzhou, they were dissatisfied with Wang Xueqian's rule in Zhejiang and wanted to overthrow Wang Xueqian's rule in Zhejiang through mutiny.  But the result was a disastrous failure. What is strange is that Wang Xueqian did not pursue too many people and subordinates at that time, and even the main culprit was treated coldly in a conniving way.  Now that I think about it, this is not Wang Xueyue?We didn't deal with it at the time, but were waiting for the time to settle accounts in the future.  Every businessman in Nanxun is on Wang Xueqian's blacklist, and no one will be spared.  And this group of Nanxun businessmen were not the kind of guys who let others take advantage of them. They wanted to use local forces to restrain Wang Xueqian's punishment, so they sold a batch of raw silk from that year to Lu Xiaojia at a low price.  Lu Xiaojia, who thought she had taken advantage of him, thought every day that the British would come to him to do business and earn him two million at a time, so that he would have all the money he had squandered in his life.  But he waited and waited, but had no intention of waiting for the British to come to buy. However, he asked his men to inquire whether the British silk reeling factories had stopped production?  The result was cruel. The British man's raw silk factory was prospering, but he just didn't want the raw materials in Lu Xiaojia's hands.  This made him very angry. He also asked a professional to look at it. The raw silk in his hand was first-class, large and white.  In previous years, foreign companies competed to buy the finest raw silk, but this year the reasons given by the British were so bizarre that Lu Xiaojia didn't even have the energy to complain.  ¡®The British Empire was a law-abiding empire, and merchants in the empire conducted business in accordance with the laws of each country.  ¡¯ ¡®The Empire will not choose a company in the Far East that does not have any government guarantee.  ¡¯ ¡®The Jiangsu Directory is not within the scope of imperial cooperation.  ¡® such a statement is stronger than one, and Lu Xiaojia is helpless.  Who scared the British?  As a citizen of the Republic of China, he had every reason to be proud of such achievements of the Republic of China.  But as a businessman, he wanted to scold his mother.  Apart from anything else, the raw silk business only lasts for just over half a month. Unlike other industries, raw silk is not a dead thing, but a cocoon. There is a small life inside the uncooked cocoon.  Time will bite through the cocoon and emerge.  Cannot be stored for long periods of time.  There is strong seasonality.  It is alive because after a month, the silkworm babies wrapped in raw silk will emerge from the cocoon and turn into moths.  Once the cocoon is bitten, the raw silk loses its original value.  After twenty rounds of mahjong, Sheng Laosi won money again. He couldn't buy a small bungalow, but it wasn't too far off.  Obviously Lu Xiaojia has spent a lot of money.  He thought it was almost time, and it was time to make a request: "Fourth brother, I admire the second young master of the Xi family and hope to have the opportunity to make friends with him." According to Lu Xiaojia's expected script, Sheng Enyi should be patting his chest and making a big bag at this time.  Take it, say something like 'Put it on him'.  But Sheng Enyi smiled and shook his head and said: "The second son of the Xi family has face in front of the British. He usually looks down on ordinary people like us." In one sentence, all Lu Xiaojia's preparations were in vain.  But Lu Xiaojia still didn't want to give up, and then asked: "What about the boss of the Xi family?" Sheng Enyi said in surprise: "That's the chief executive of HSBC Bank, can he like me?" This is a truth, if Lu Xiaojia had been in the past, he would have laughed,  A few words of ridicule.  But at this moment, he felt disappointed.  But Sheng Enyi had no intention of stopping yet, and continued: "Usually, this guy won't even pay attention to me. Even if I go to his office in the HSBC Building to find him, I won't even be able to pass the test of his secretary. But Mr. Lu  He is a celebrity in Shanghai. If this old boy doesn't give me face, he will definitely give it to you. He likes to go to the racecourse to play on weekdays. If I let my friends watch him, I will give it to you.  "Going to the phone?" Lu Xiaojia's nose was almost crooked with anger. If he could establish friendship with the boss of the Xi family, would he come to curry favor with you, Sheng Laosi?  Lu Xiaojia also took the risk and made it clear: "Brother, I have a batch of raw silk in my hand. I won't say the grade. It is definitely the best. I just want to ask the boss of the Xi family for help, and I hope HSBC can purchase it. Brother, you and  They are familiar with each other, help me set up a line, and I will find a number for you." Sheng Enyi looked at the huge profit offered by Lu Xiaojia, but he was helpless, even though he really wanted to earn the money.  But he doesn't have this ability either.  If it were someone else, Sheng Enyi would really dare to agree, but Lu Xiaojia is not easy to mess with.  It's okay to fool him with a dozen large yellow croakers.  After all, with their status, no one would take Wan Er Ba Qian Da Yang seriously.  But the raw silk in Lu Xiaojia's hands is worth at least three to four million, which is a low price. If the year is good, selling for five or six million is not a fantasy.  Even the Sheng family couldn't raise such a sum of money.  If this business is really messed up, they will be enemies of life and death and will fight to the death.  Sheng Enyi will not have trouble with money, but he will not risk his life for money. It is not worth it. Sheng Laosi will not make any money in his life, so he will rely on the property left by his old man to become his son.  No generation can ever be defeated.  He will not participate in anything that is too risky.  ¡°And he also heard about Lu Xiaojia and was tricked by the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce. Of course, it was not a deliberate trick.  After all, the prices of the goods are very real, as long as Lu Xiaojia canSelling this batch of raw silk, making two million would seem like a joke.  But the problem is that no one in Shanghai today dares to accept this batch of raw silk.  Because the raw silk industry has been classified as a strictly controlled industry by Wang Xueqian, just like the salt industry, you must have a license issued by the government to engage in this industry.  Everyone else is operating illegally.  No one dares to argue with Wang Xueqian in Shanghai. This man dares to swollen the faces of British people. Why does he care about a businessman from the Republic of China?  Sheng Enyi thought for a moment and did not deliberately entertain Lu Xiaojia. Instead, he made a pertinent suggestion: "Master Lu, we can only go to your father for this matter. He may have a way. Moreover, the raw silk business cycle is very short. Even if  You cooked all the raw silk, but it can¡¯t be stored for too long. If it doesn¡¯t go into the factory for processing, this batch of raw silk won¡¯t even be available at half price two months later.¡± Lu Xiaojia is actually quite afraid of meeting Lu Yongxiang, mainly because of Lu Yongxiang.  Look down on him in every possible way.  For example, I think he is idle!  You¡¯re using Marshal Lu¡¯s name to deceive you!  "Anyway, Marshal Lu's first thought when he saw his son was that this kid had committed a crime and he should be beaten first. That's for sure.  ??Besides, Lu Yongxiang has not had an easy time during this period. It is not that life is difficult, but that he has encountered obstacles.  It was a difficult hurdle for him to overcome.  Lu Yongxiang, who existed like a local emperor in Jinling, gave people the feeling of being huddled in his old nest, hiding from others. Among other things, the Zhejiang Army repeatedly stated that it was unable to log in to fight, and demanded to enter northern Jiangsu from the Jinpu line.  The regional requirements were enough to give him a headache.  The army passed through Jinling, but the train was beyond his control. Along the more than 100 kilometers from Wuxi to Jinling, the Zhejiang army could get off the train at any time and then assemble to launch an attack on the most fertile areas in Jiangsu. Lu Yongxiang was not prepared for this at all.  No ability.  It¡¯s not that there is none at all, but from his standpoint, he can¡¯t imagine what he will do to win after the Jiang Army and Zhejiang Army go to war?  If you can't win the war, you can only lose the war.  As for winning the war, Lu Yongxiang did not dare to hope, but he could not accept the result of losing the war.  Lu Yongxiang is no better than Qi Xieyuan. His territory borders Zhejiang. Wang Xueqian's Zhejiang army can even launch attacks from any bordering places such as Huzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, etc. Even the areas along the Yangtze River are defenseless.  Jiangsu¡¯s navy at this stage is actually not even considered a warship. It can only wander around on the river to gain a sense of presence.  This batch of patrol boats equipped with machine guns were purchased from Zhejiang to prepare for Sun Chuanfang's future attack from the Huaihe River.  But it was enough to deal with Sun Chuanfang, because Anhui had no floating ships at all. It was enough to bully Sun Chuanfang, who did not have an armored ship. But Wang Xueqian owned the largest naval fleet in the Republic of China, and the main warships were even cruisers with a weight of more than 4,000 tons.  Regarded by Lu Yongxiang as a combat force that cannot be ignored by the Jiang army, it is not equipped with the Zhejiang Navy at all, but is used for police patrols If a war breaks out, this will be an absolutely unequal combat situation.  The only thing Lu Yongxiang can do is bluster in front of Sun Chuanfang. If he tries to show off to Wang Xueqian, he will definitely be beaten to a black face.  But when the big brother wants to come out, Lu Yongxiang has no choice.  Not to mention that Duan Qirui was very anxious, even if he had no such plan, the military governor who followed him and the senior generals of the original Anhui faction would not let him live in Tianjin until his death.  What will this do to the military and political officials who once followed him?  Even if Duan Qirui is thinking of retiring into seclusion, he can still be deceived into having the ambition to dominate the world.  Anyway, Duan Qirui is not very old yet, and he has not yet completely bid farewell to politics.  Since he was ousted by Cao Kun, he has been actively preparing in Tianjin. The main reason is that he is not willing to accept it. He thinks that he is of equal strength and ability and is ousted.  But Cao Kunhe is a fool!  Duan Qirui felt panicked when he thought of the most difficult experience.  And if he wants to make a comeback, he has no hope at all with just a few former members of the Anhui Clan's military governors, who are now either standing aside or simply hiding in Tianjin.  Although Xu Shuzheng, the leader of the younger generation of the Anhui clique, is very capable, he has lost his military power and status, and he can only shamelessly mediate among powerful factions in various places.  Relying on his thick skin, he contacted and won over opponents who were once regarded as mortal enemies of the Anhui clique, and finally established an anti-Cao alliance, and he also completed the preparations and participated in the battle plan.  Before the Zhifeng War, Duan Qirui also began to make more appearances and activities.  Lu Yongxiang also wants to actively prepare for Duan Qirui's arrival in Beijing, and has no time to worry about his son Lu Xiaojia's affairs.  Knowing that his son has arrived at the back house, I am going to warn Lu Xiaojia to keep a low profile after entering Beijing and not to mess with him.Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaojia came straight to him. He was no longer as timid as before.  Lu Yongxiang wanted to maintain the dignity of a parent, and scolded in a low voice: "You still know how to come back!" It is not easy to be the son of a marshal. Lu Xiaojia often has to face Lu Yongxiang's violent temper, even though Lu Yongxiang is already over fifty years old.  , but if Lu Xiaojia really wanted to take action, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.  As soon as he heard this, Lu Xiaojia's calves began to tremble and he wanted to run away, but as soon as he turned around, he stopped.  Thinking about the raw silk in his hand, he risked a beating and asked his father to agree to help communicate with Wang Xueqian.  With his father taking action, at least the profit from this business will be enough for him to spend the rest of his life.  With such a sum of money, not to mention a beating, even a chop, as long as he doesn't die, even a bachelor like Lu Xiaojia will find it worth it.  The moment he looked back, Lu Xiaojia put on a smile that she thought was extremely brilliant, loved by everyone, and full of flowers: "Dad, I thought about it." Perhaps Lu Yongxiang was used to strong winds and waves, so he came from the sea of ??blood and corpses.  The old general who came out was also made uncomfortable by his son's annoying charming smile, and thought to himself: Has his eldest son changed his temper?  It can¡¯t be done!  Lu Yongxiang subconsciously thought that Lu Xiaojia had caused trouble outside and came to take refuge at home.  His eyes couldn't help but glance at the saber hanging on the wall.  Ever since President Yuan Da gave him this command knife, which was made of exquisite workmanship and sophisticated materials and could adapt to the needs of the battlefield, he had never seen blood or killed anyone on the battlefield.  On the contrary, the brass scabbard was often used. It was a torture instrument belonging to Lu Xiaojia, and it was very easy for Lu Yongxiang to hold it in his hand.  Having been Lu Yongxiang¡¯s son for thirty years, he knows his father¡¯s character very well.  When Dad looked at the saber that symbolized the highest glory of the army, it was not that he was nostalgic for power, but that he was going to be unlucky.  Of course there is another possibility, the old man¡¯s hands are itchy.  ¡° Anyway, it¡¯s not a good thing for Lu Xiaojia.  Lu Xiaojia gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, I didn't cause any trouble. Your son has been busy with business recently" Before Lu Xiaojia could get down to business, Lu Yongxiang calmed down and calmly held the teacup while squirting the tea in his mouth.  After going out, he looked at his son with a strange expression, and his shoulders began to shake randomly: "Haha you can still do business?" Looking at his father's contemptuous and almost devilish mocking smile, Lu Xiaojia said heartily: "Yes.  It's not that I can't beat you, but if you weren't my father, I really want to beat you" But this thought was random. He could only wait for the old man to laugh enough before he could speak, whether it was to laugh or laugh.  , it was a smile anyway, and it would not lead to a tense situation at home where no one would deal with anyone. At least for Lu Xiaojia, it was still within the acceptable range.  After Lu Yongxiang had laughed enough, he asked: "How big is the business?" "About three to five million!" Lu Xiaojia was not sure about the size of the business. He originally had hundreds of thousands in hand, and the remaining payment for the goods was  It was paid with a bank loan. Originally, he wanted to get it on credit, but the people in Nanxun were very stubborn and there was no such thing as credit.  He just took a loan from the bank.  Of course, it was not because of his face that he could lend more than one million yuan, but because of Lu Yongxiang's face.  " But Lu Yongxiang doesn't think so. He knows his son's abilities best. He is a good hand at making troubles, but when it comes to business, he doesn't have the brains of a businessman.  His heart skipped a beat, and he preconceived the crime of forcibly inserting Lu Xiaojia. In Lu Marshal's opinion, it was this kind of business that was worth millions.  While Lu Xiaojia was stunned, Lu Yongxiang had already held the saber in his hand, looking at a chicken waiting to be killed, and roared: "Did you sell my arsenal?" Lu Xiaojia's face turned green at that time,  He also recognized the use of the scabbard, but this time Lu Yongxiang did not intend to be soft, but was prepared to kill the family out of justice.  Because the knife was out of its sheath, the snow-white coldness made Lu Xiaojia tremble with fear.  The Longquan sword seals its throat when it sees blood.  Lu Yongxiang wants to kill relatives out of justice!  (~^~)
