Chapter 282: The counterattack has begun

Lin Sufang looked at Lu Qiaoshan with arrogant eyes:

"It will cost about 160,000 US dollars to completely talk down the brand."

"This is not a small amount."

Lu Qiaoshan's cheeks trembled fiercely, and he chuckled:

"160,000 US dollars!"

"With so much money, about how long will it take us to recover the cost of the brand label."

"Section Chief Lu, business has gains and losses, if you are afraid of losing, don't play." Lin Sufang laughed contemptuously.

"You are a businessman, I am not."

"Commander Zheng is not either."

"We only care about the payback period and return on money." Lu Qiaoshan was very dissatisfied with her tone.

"Yes, 160,000 US dollars, what kind of business are you doing?"

"Keeping it is enough to eat until the next life, I advise you not to play."

Lin Sufang elegantly pulled out a cigarette, and Long Er hurriedly took out a match to light it for her.

She exhaled a puff of smoke lightly:

"I have limited time, call me when you think it through."

As she spoke, Long Er pulled open the stool, and she stood up, lifting the skirt of her hips.

"Miss Lin, how did Zhang Si die?"

"I hope you think clearly."

Lu Qiaoshan's patience with her arrogant and wild attitude reached the limit, his eyes turned cold, and he said coldly.

"Commander Zheng wants to kill me, naturally it's as simple as stepping on an ant."

"But don't forget who I am working for."

"Being able to take him, Zheng, to play together is already giving enough face."

"If you really want to kick you out, what can you do?"

"Does he dare to say even a small 'no' word to the person behind me?"

"If you can play, play, if you can't, don't hold on."

"This is a big deal, not something any cat or dog can enter."

Lin Sufang ignored Lu Qiaoshan's cold eyes and walked out in high heels.

"You!" Lu Qiaoshan was sprayed speechless.

The person behind Lin Sufang is indeed not someone he can provoke.

With Commander Zheng's steady and cautious personality, naturally he is not willing to provoke this person.

"I invest."

"I invest 40,000 US dollars."

"The remaining 120,000 will be invested by you."

Lu Qiaoshan thought about it and said.

"Okay."

"But I heard that in this arms order, Staff Officer Yang in Ludong didn't take the order, and this deal became a dead account."

"Zheng Jiemin is afraid he won't invest money for you again, right?"

Lin Sufang smiled.

She was the introducer who entered the game to deal with Hong Zhiyou, and her commission was already taken.

Saying this was purely to disgust Lu Qiaoshan and touch his bottom line.

"Yes."

"Some people are just clever, back then if they spent some money to take the water route, could they have been hijacked by Li Ya and the Security Brigade?"

"This is called losing big for small."

Long Er also laughed gloomily on the side.

"Gang Leader Long, I remember you didn't talk much before."

"Well, finding a woman is different, the lips are ground very sharp every night."

Lu Qiaoshan didn't get used to him.

"You!" Long Er pointed at Lu Qiaoshan, almost getting internal injuries from anger.

"Don't worry, the arms won't be lost."

"This wine business, I'm determined to participate." Lu Qiaoshan smiled.

"Raise the money tomorrow night, no expiration."

Lin Sufang left a sentence, twisted her hips, and walked away quickly under Long Er's protection.

"Bang!"

As soon as Lin Sufang left, Lu Qiaoshan slapped the table angrily: "Bitch, slut!"

After scolding, he was in trouble again.

Where to raise so much money?

Lu Qiaoshan wanted money, a lot of money.

In the two years in Jingling, he was very tight and lived like a dog, which can be said to have suffered all the humiliation.

He knew deeply that in this world, no one's relationship can be relied on, only money is the "eternal positive law".

Hong Zhiyou, a rural boy.

No background, no mountain head, why is he so popular, even the Generalissimo is looking for him to transport goods?

Isn't it just because he has some money from business and let the foreign devils push the mill?

He is also a veteran of the Nanchang Investigation Section, he doesn't believe he is worse than a hairy poor boy.

If you want to be rich, pave the way first.

The road to prosperity paved by Lu Qiaoshan is the Cherry brand of Hennessy Company.

He secretly resold a lot of wine in the past and knew deeply that this was a huge profit business.

If he could take down the brand label this time and occupy the entire Jinhai or even the national wine market, that would be a golden mountain and a silver mountain that could not be used up or taken away.

When the time comes, does he still need to look at the faces of Zheng Jiemin and Wu Jingzhong?

The key is that he has absolute confidence in the person behind Lin Sufang.

This is a business that is sure to make money.

Whether he can be brilliant and prosperous depends on it.

Do it!

Thinking of this, he drove back to the Guilin Road villa.

"Guifen, pack up, send some money to Old Sun and the others and send them away." Lu Qiaoshan entered the door, untied his tie, and ordered while changing shoes.

"Old Lu, what do you mean, why are you driving people away for no reason?" Li Guifen was puzzled.

"We have to sell this house to raise money to sell wine." Lu Qiaoshan said.

"Sell wine?"

"Qiaoshan, you have to think clearly."

"We only have this nest, if we sell it, it's gone."

"Besides, we have feelings for this house, how can we sell it just because we say so."

Li Guifen heard this and immediately opposed it.

"What do you know as a woman?"

"Sell it for money. When the wine is made, what house won't there be? When the time comes, I will buy you a big mansion on Changde Road directly."

Lu Qiaoshan explained with patience.

"I don't want a big mansion, I want our home."

"Qiaoshan, it's not easy for us to return to Jinhai."

"This house was gotten back by Zhiyou for us, we have to cherish it."

"We made a lot of money in the last two trips, enough to buy a wedding house for our son. You want to throw all the money out at this time, what if you lose it, won't our family be scattered?"

Li Guifen frowned and persuaded bitterly.

"What do you know?"

"Money is never enough. If you don't earn it, this damn thing will be earned by others."

"This business won't lose money, we have someone behind us."

"Biting Hong Zhiyou to death is just a matter of minutes."

"Don't throw money and want to fish for gold and silver, how can there be such a good thing."

"Don't worry, there will be times when you and your children eat and drink spicy food."

Lu Qiaoshan's eyes were gloomy, he went upstairs, opened the safe, took out all the money he had saved from doing business, and began to count the banknotes.

"Qiaoshan, our money is enough."

"It's not easy to live a comfortable life for a few days, so don't toss it."

"You forgot."

"You were able to come back because Zhiyou put in a lot of effort."

"This house was also gotten back by him for us."

"People have given us a lot of benefits, and let our son act as an agent for red wine sales in Suzhou. He really helped us a lot."

"We have to have a conscience."

"Why do you have to go against Hong Zhiyou, he is your own brother."

Li Guifen looked at the man full of hostility and said earnestly.

"Shut up!"

"What own brother."

"He wants to use me to deal with Li Ya, don't investigate them for fishing for money. You think I don't know about Beiping, he went with Li Ya."

"It's likely that he was the one who planned it behind his back."

"Don't forget, I am a Colonel now."

"Not only want money, but also Wu Jingzhong's seat. Hong Zhiyou is Wu Jingzhong's son-in-law, can he be of one mind with me?"

"Besides, even own brothers have to calculate clearly."

"Will he give me 100,000, 200,000, 500,000 US dollars?"

"Lu Ming marrying a wife, running for office, these all need money."

"Can Hong Zhiyou give it?"

"It all has to be earned by me."

"Money field has no father and son, Jinhai's cake is limited, he and I can only have one person at the table to take the knife and fork."

"That person must be me!"

Lu Qiaoshan gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead appeared.

"But... Ke Shufen said, only a fool would buy a useless brand, she won't invest a penny, the person you mentioned is unreliable, they are all people who make a fortune by eating human blood buns."

"Long Er and his wife are stupid, don't follow them into the water."

"If you keep playing like this, you will be killed by them."

"Let's follow Hong Zhiyou and earn some money peacefully."

"Go and explain the matter here to him, he will definitely forgive you."

Li Guifen pulled his arm and continued to say.

"Forgive?"

"How do I hear that your words are hairy."

"Earning money is based on ability, what do I need him to forgive?"

Lu Qiaoshan threw her hand away, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Back then you were framed by Li Ya, it wasn't Zhiyou who protected you, you would have been sent to the electric chair by Li Ya long ago."

"Our family has enough money to spend, a hundred times better than in Jingling."

"These are all given to you by Zhiyou, not by Zheng Jiemin, let alone that person."

"Don't be ungrateful, that will be retribution."

"Qiaoshan, I beg you, stop."

Li Guifen pulled Lu Qiaoshan and begged with tears.

"Get out!"

"Stinky woman, shut your crow's mouth, get as far away as you can."

Lu Qiaoshan was very angry, took the land deed and US dollars, and walked angrily towards the study.

"Surname Lu, are you possessed, are you crazy?"

Li Guifen stomped her feet and cried out in pain.

"Yes."

"I am crazy."

"I was crazy when I was driven out of Jinhai by Li Ya."

"I was crazy when I was pointed at by Ke Shufen and called a waste."

"I was already crazy when Commander Fang's wife disliked the gold bracelet you wore for being too thin."

"I was already forced crazy by this world."

"Are you satisfied now!"

Lu Qiaoshan said coldly.

Bang!

He closed the door heavily.

"Finished."

"Finished."

Li Guifen sat on the sofa, and a burst of despair welled up in her heart.

She had long seen that Qiaoshan was not right.

After being driven away by Li Ya, he fell into paranoia and couldn't extricate himself.

The key is that Hong Zhiyou has a real great kindness to his family.

Smashing someone's rice bowl is like killing someone's parents, no one can do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Li Guifen cried even more.

She wanted to save this family.

But Sister Mei and Wu Rui had already left, and she didn't even have anyone to pass the message.

Go directly to Hong Zhiyou.

There are eyes and ears everywhere outside his courtyard, if Qiaoshan finds out, he will be angry until his chest hurts again.

Cried for a while.

She suddenly thought of someone.

Late at night.

US Marine Corps warehouse wharf.

Long Er and Lin Sufang stood on the second floor, looking at the workers moving wooden boxes below, and the hot scene of US soldiers patrolling with live ammunition, both of them showed a knowing and proud smile.

"Second brother."

"Once this batch of goods goes to Minnan, we can earn a big sum again."

"I've thought about it."

"While the child hasn't been born yet, let's save more for him."

Lin Sufang stroked her belly and said gently.

"Sufang, thanks to God for letting me meet you again."

"To tell you the truth, in the past, I felt that money had no meaning. Hong Zhiyou handled everything, and I just waited for dividends."

"Anyway, I couldn't spend it all in this life."

"But now with you, the child, and maybe grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the future, whenever I think of my Long family's descendants flourishing, I dream of wanting to save more money for them."

Long Er supported her waist and said with emotion.

"That's it, if I hadn't come, this family property would have all become Hong's."

"Think about it, without you, he is just a fart."

"People are so cunning, using your people, your ships, running to Xiangdao to open a shipyard, my brother ran over last time to see that there was no name of yours among the shareholders."

"Millions, even tens of millions of business, has nothing to do with you."

"And selling wine, moving goods from our wharf every day, has he given a cent of transportation fee?"

"You, you are really stupid to the end."

Lin Sufang pinched his ear and hummed coquettishly.

"Yes, yes."

"My Sufang is a living Bodhisattva who came to save me."

"However, this matter is indeed a bit too much. Actually, we can talk to Hong Zhiyou openly and divide the company and so on clearly."

"After all, we were brothers. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of gang leader. Besides, he is not a person who forcibly occupies and demands, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff."

Long Er felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"You are just too kind."

"That's because it didn't involve money. If we don't act first, with his mind, if you go to talk, he might dig you out."

"But now there is no need to worry."

"After the Cao Gang raised wages several times, everyone only recognizes us now."

"Hong Zhiyou wants to do something, it's absolutely impossible."

Lin Sufang pouted her beautiful red lips and floated a sneer.

"How much money do we have in the account?" Long Er said.

"I counted, two underground banks were taken by Hong Zhiyou. Yesterday I went to clear the accounts, Zhou Yan refused to hand them over."

"On the shipyard side, the Rong family has been arguing, plus there is no name of yours on the contract, I guess it can't be asked back."

"Subtracting these two assets, the funds we can move on the books are probably only about 200,000 US dollars left."

"Buying the winery cost tens of thousands."

"Running the foreign devils' relationship cost one or two thousand."

"The remaining 100,000, I guess it all has to be thrown into the wine."

"Sigh, money is still not enough."

Lin Sufang sighed lightly.

"Yes, the bank was my soft heart."

"Back then Hong Zhiyou said he wanted it, I waved my hand and gave it to him, taking a cut every month."

"Now it's hard to want it back."

Long Er frowned and worried.

"What's hard."

"Everyone knows the bank is yours, as long as you get rid of Hong Zhiyou, won't it come back naturally?"

Lin Sufang said coldly.

"Would it be too much?" Long Er said.

"If you don't kill him, he will get rid of me."

"Now that it's reached this point, do you think Hong Zhiyou will let me go?" Lin Sufang said dissatisfiedly.

"But he is a member of the Confidential Bureau. If Wu Jingzhong wants to avenge him, we will be very troublesome." Long Er was in a dilemma.

"You are a dignified gang leader, why are you always afraid of wolves and tigers."

"We have Philson's backing now."

"The Americans are his Wu Jingzhong's ancestors. Besides, once Hong Zhiyou dies, his connections will vanish, and he will be nothing."

"As for Wu Jingzhong."

"Don't forget that back then, a Zhang Si made him unable to lift his head."

"You wouldn't be worse than Zhang Si, would you?"

"Second brother, for the child in our belly, Hong Zhiyou must die."

Lin Sufang continued to persuade.

Long Er looked into the distance, tapped his front teeth a few times, and patted the armrest heavily with both hands: "Good, then kill him."

"That's right."

"No poison, no husband, people are not cruel and cannot stand firm."

"Kill Hong Zhiyou, Jinhai is our world."

"However, don't rush."

"Wait for the Americans to turn against the water, squeeze his Axe brand out of the market, let him have no financial path, no connections, and when he is as down and out as a dog, then send him to the west."

"This is also the meaning of that person."

Lin Sufang said.

"Good, everything listens to the lady's arrangement." Long Er nodded.

Below.

Bang.

Two workers carrying boxes suddenly had their hemp rope broken, and the box overturned on the ground.

Suddenly, the spherical opium scattered all over the ground.

"Damn thing, how did you do the work, hurry up and pick it up."

Immediately, a supervisor took out a whip and cursed while beating.

In the dark.

Another supervisor stood in the shadows, took out a micro camera, click, click, and quickly took a picture of this scene.

Mu Residence.

Hong Zhiyou vented all the mental pressure of the past few days on Wanqiu.

The two tossed until late at night before stopping.

After smoking a cigarette, he got up, picked up the phone, and dialed a number:

"Is it done?"

"Good."

"Tomorrow morning I want to see the front page headline of Jinhai Daily."

"Hard work."

After hanging up the phone, Hong Zhiyou walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.

The sky was covered with layers of dark clouds, the wind couldn't blow them away, and the crescent moon was weak as if it could shatter on the ground at any time.

A dark night with high winds.

It is the time for killing.

Hong Zhiyou's mouth floated a light smile:

The counterattack is about to begin.

The next day.

Lu Qiaoshan in military uniform drove straight to the Marine Corps.

Anderson had already been ordered to wait.

"Anderson, has Hong Zhiyou been here lately?"

Lu Qiaoshan got out of the car and secretly stuffed a hundred US dollars.

"No."

"Came to look for him a few times, made a few card games, the General didn't pay attention to him." Anderson accepted it happily.

"Old partner, old classmate, don't you worry about him?"

"He has taken over all his business now."

Lu Qiaoshan said while walking.

"Old classmate?"

"Brother, you must have never been to the West. We pay attention to money first."

"Whoever gives more money is a friend."

"Obviously, Miss Lin gives us more. Since she recommended you, you are our friend."

"Hong, can only cool off on the side for now."

"You are our true friend."

Anderson smiled.

"Right, we are friends." Lu Qiaoshan nodded.

"I'm very curious, if Hong Zhiyou gives more, will you choose him again?" After thinking about it, he asked with no sense of security.

"That's unlikely."

"Because Hong doesn't sell opium."

"The profit in the middle is not something he can give up."

"So, as long as the Cao Gang is still there, it's impossible for us to do business with Hong Zhiyou again."

"After all, who would have trouble with money?"

Anderson laughed loudly.

"Makes sense."

Lu Qiaoshan was relieved.

Arriving at Philson's office, the General had already set up a card game.

"Lu, my good friend, I've been waiting for you."

After joining the card game.

Lu Qiaoshan was angry in his heart.

He didn't deliberately lose money like in the past.

For a period of time in the past, in order to flatter these foreign devils, he lost at least 3,000 US dollars at the card table.

Now that there is a shortage of goods and he wants money, no way.

Lu Qiaoshan has always been calculating, how can he get used to Philson.

He is shrewd and can calculate cards.

After playing for two hours, he killed all sides and won at least a thousand US dollars.

Philson's liver hurt from losing.

His face pulled down, he overturned the mahjong tiles on his hand, and yelled:

"Don't play, don't play, bad luck today."

Anderson translated on the side.

"We have an old saying, the moon has cloudy and sunny, the card game naturally has wins and losses, where is there a victorious general in this world."

"General, the batch of goods I have left, shouldn't you give it to me?"

Lu Qiaoshan stretched the money one by one and put it into his pocket in Philson's painful eyes.

"General Ke Ke called me last night, the goods are already on the way, and will arrive in Jinhai in three days at most." Philson said unhappily.

"Good."

"Three days."

"Goodbye."

Lu Qiaoshan smiled.

As he was talking, Philson's phone rang.

He answered it, and after hanging up, he whispered a few words to Anderson.

"Section Chief Lu."

"Something happened to the Cao Gang, you need to rush back immediately."
