Chapter 60: Shi Huiluoden, the Chen family surrendered
"Of course, I'm not asking for alms, but asking for help." Roden nodded as a matter of course.
Afa pondered and said slowly: "I remember you said that you have family and friends in the United States, which is a good condition. In the future, I may have to establish some kind of connection with the United States to facilitate business and technical communication and exchanges. So, I need trustworthy foreign friends. What about you, are you willing to do this?"
"Yes, I'm willing to be your friend, trustworthy, yes, that's it." Roden agreed very simply.
"Then this will be easy." Ah Fa laughed happily and said, "I can make you look like a house, garden, and money quickly, so that you can hold the beauty back as soon as possible. However, these are all things you owe me. You must repay them gradually in the future, and use your work and I will explain it. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Roden grinned and said, "It's not a loan, it's repaid in installments, which is very reasonable. But I wonder what the job you're giving?"
"I have to think about this slowly." Ah Fa smiled sly and said, "Anyway, it won't be for you to kill someone and set fire. You don't have to worry about this."
"I'm not worried." Luo Deng looked at Ah Fa with a strange expression, paused for a while, and said, "Linna's intuition is right. You will never be an ordinary person. If you are not now, you will definitely be the best in the future. Well, you should be very famous now, the number one person in China who has obtained a British patent. But in this country, few people value this, and they don't understand the meaning of it at all."
"It's nothing. I'll do better anyway, so I don't rush for a moment." Ah Fa smiled indifferently, "The first generation of Wenren from Shanghai has appeared. I want to be a new generation, and this will definitely succeed."
Shanghai Wenren, also known as tycoons, are divided into two categories: ** and Baidao. The most prominent Shanghai Wenren is Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Baosan and others, who belong to Baidao. The prestige and wealth make foreigners in the concession respect three points.
The first great golden honor in the history of the Black X Dao was not as powerful as that, and it was not qualified to be called Wenren.
Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Baosan and others were both rooted and grew up in traditional Chinese society. The connections and woven relationship networks accumulated over the past decades were not comparable to Ah Fa. For example, Yu Qiaqing represented the Ningbo business gang, and Zhu Baosan and Shanghai had close ties with various silver banking houses. At the same time, both of them were in the Qing Dynasty government offices and foreign consuls had friends, which was particularly important in Shanghai at that time.
But Afa also has his own advantages. His ideas are updated, his vision is wider and farther, and he is young and full of vitality, passion, impulse, and a courage to not be afraid of anything. As Grandpa Mao said, the world belongs to you and ours, but it is you after all!
This time, it was not because Afa was kind-hearted and wanted to be beautiful. Although what he and Roden said were not complete, they also revealed their inner plans. Whether it was applying for a patent, introducing technology, or purchasing machinery and equipment, it would naturally be much more convenient if he had his own agent in a foreign country. Although Donald helped some, he was too businessman and too cautious, and obviously was not the person Afa most fond of. However, Roden stayed in Shanghai, making Afa easier to control.
…………………
Five days have passed since the bloody murder of the Chen family in Chaozhou. The result of more than a dozen people killed and injured made other local merchants extremely frightened, and the police station was powerless. Obviously, the effective bodyguards and the purchased guns could not stop the "Seven Kills". The most terrifying thing is the secret of the "Seven Kills" and the irregularities in the actions.
You can insist on being tough and uncompromising, hire bodyguards, buy weapons, and then continue to engage in the sinful opium transaction, but who knows when the "Seven Kills" will take action again? For one day or two, ten days and a half months, or even longer, who can guard against the "Seven Kills" every night, and who has such a strong nerve to continue to fight against the "Seven Kills"?
Chen Bo, who was lucky enough to die, has already brought the words. The "Seven Kills" are not only like ghosts in the dark, but also have a huge force behind them. Whether others believe it or not, Chen Bo believes it without doubt and loses the confidence to take revenge and bloody hatred.
"The Qiks are so terrible, we can never fight against each other." Chen Bo lay in the hospital, with a sad face, and discouraged expression of his position to other landlords. "It is pure luck to survive the disaster. I was lying in bed these days and thought about what happened that night. Finally, I figured it out. Even if I hire a bodyguard and add more weapons, if Qiks want to kill all the Chen family again, the result will not be changed. In order to prevent the Chen family from being destroyed, and in order not to worry every day in the future, I decided to accept the Qiks' conditions. Uncles and uncles, please forgive me for being unfilial and unrighteous. I cannot avenge my father and cannot advance and retreat with everyone."
The bosses of several major landlords yelled and persuaded each other, but Chen Bo seemed to have made up his mind and made a fuss. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Anyway, he admitted his failure and completely lost his courage and confidence.
The gap is opened, and the consequences are very serious. The bosses of several major landlords know very well what kind of reaction Chen Bo's actions will bring, how adverse the effects will have, and will give Qisha a clear goal. The reason is very simple. Compromising will be eliminated from the Qisha list, and tough ones will naturally lead to more brutal killings.
He scolded and persuaded, but Chen Bo refused to make money, which was disgusting. In fact, the bosses of several major land trades were also scared and panicked, but everyone wanted to attract more companions to boost their courage. But no one would be willing to give up the daily transaction of gold making.
But what about the solution? Everyone said one by one, one by one, but none of them could be practical. The opponent was terrible, fierce, and vicious, but like a ghost, they could not see or touch them. Chen Bo also saw through it. He listened to these people discussing Hu, and sneered and despised in his heart. He was greedy and timid, and shouted loudly on his lips, but he was not bullshit. It seems that you will not give up if you were not killed and scared.
The people dispersed and the ward was quiet. Chen Bo did not stop for long, and a little beggar on the street sent a letter, the amount of money, time and place were written very clearly. Chen Bo didn't say anything else, and sent the little beggar and called the old housekeeper of the Chen family, and after whispering, he secretly arranged the matter.
