330 [Three Tycoons]
The sales volume of Shanghai Ming Pao has become better and better during this period!
On the one hand, it is because of the ups and downs of "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan" signed by Ming Pao, a martial arts columnist named "Hangzhu Louzhu" and the exciting plot gradually reaches its climax, attracting countless readers. On the other hand, "Ming Pao" is constantly innovating in the current affairs column, reporting various anecdotes and interesting stories in Shanghai today, and there are many classic cases.
For example, the "Zhabei Slum Arson Case" that has been very popular recently.
According to the content published in the Ming Pao, the case has now been handed over to Ye Jindong, the first police officer in the French Concession, to investigate!
And with Ye Jindong's hard investigation, the case has now become famous, and the leader of the arson case behind it pointed directly at Zhang Tielin, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai!
Who is Zhang Tielin?
A famous young gang boss in Shanghai.
However, compared with the other two bigwigs in Shanghai, Du Guosheng and Huang Tianrong, Zhang Tielin's reputation is slightly worse.
Because Zhang Tielin made a fortune mainly because of opium and forcing good men to become prostitutes.
However, Zhang Tielin has a tyrannical personality and no matter who offends him, he will not have any good results. Therefore, many newspapers and magazines in Shanghai dare not report on his evil deeds.
But now, Ming Pao has broken this convention and not only reported the slum arson case on the front page of today's front page, but also directly pointed out that Zhang Tielin is the murderer behind the scenes!
This caused a collective uproar in Shanghai!
And the big men from both black and white all collectively silenced because they knew that a storm was coming!
...
Japanese Concession---
Zhang Gongguan----
"Damn it! It's so hateful!"
Thorn, thorn!
In the mansion, Zhang Tielin, wearing a long gown and with short silver hair, had fierce faces, angrily tore the Ming Pao in his hand to pieces!
No one dared to step forward, the "Crooked Mouth Lao Liu" who was serving his confidant, as well as the servants and the housekeepers.
"Ye Jindong, this little red guy! He dared to name me and reveal my true feelings. I want him to take care of it! The crooked-mouthed Lao Liu, you gather people to burn that newspaper office for me!"
The crooked old Liu hurriedly approached and said, "Master, this is not good, right? Since the person surnamed Ye dared to let his Ming Pao openly publish this incident, he must be on guard. If we go to burn his newspaper now, we will probably fall into his trick!"
Zhang Tielin's triangular eyes flashed, "What should I do? Could I swallow my anger?"
"I think the most urgent task is to resolve the impact of this news first!"
Zhang Tielin's eyes rolled, "You are right! The boy named Ye might want to deliberately anger me and let me fall into the trap. I can't be fooled by him!"
"Go, call me Du Guosheng and Huang Tianrong, and now they can only help me!" Zhang Tielin knew that relying on his own strength, he was afraid of a little difficulty in turning the tables.
Although Zhang Tielin doesn't take Ye Jindong seriously, Ye Jindong is currently a celebrity of Feng Jingyao, the French Concession boss, and the confidant of Bai Lide, the police tycoon. Moreover, Ye Jindong is still holding his handle. He heard that after killing Xiao Tiannan, he began to arrest other accomplices. If he and Ye Jindong fought hard, they would probably suffer both losses!
So Zhang Tielin wanted to join forces with Du Guosheng and Huang Tianrong to crush Ye Jindong, the little red man, under his feet!
As for why Zhang Tielin is so confident to get help from Du Guosheng and Huang Tianrong, it is because of the long-term "friendship" of the three!
Back then, Zhang Tielin first came to Shanghai and became a member of the Qing Gang and immediately took advantage of others' strengths and soon became a small leader. Then he met Du Guosheng, who was also a small leader.
Du Guosheng is from the Qing Gang’s “Wu” generation, one generation later than Zhang Tielin, but the two of them still gather together to occupy the territory.
Soon Du Guosheng fought with another gangster and was beaten to death and lay on the street. Zhang Tielin carried Du Guosheng home alone, and spent all his family's fortunes for Du Guosheng.
This kind of brotherhood moved Du Guosheng, who was introverted, and he vowed to never forget his kindness.
Du Guosheng, who lost his territory, then defected to Huang Tianrong, the then famous police inspector of the French Concession, and gradually showed his strengths.
Soon, Zhang Tielin cooperated with the Chinese leader of the British Concession to offend Huang Tianrong. Du Guosheng made a clever design, not only let Zhang Tielin defect to Huang Tianrong, but also strengthened Zhang Tielin's strength.
Du Guosheng's caution and Zhang Tielin's courage, their business in "pornography, gambling, and drugs" is getting better and better.
Later, Huang Tianrong beat the prince of Governor Lu in Shanghai without knowing it. Governor Lu arrested Huang Tianrong in anger.
Du Guosheng and Zhang Tielin went through many troubles and finally opened up the relationship between Governor Lu. Not only did they rescue Huang Tianrong, but they also met a group of warlords and bureaucrats in Shanghai and surrounding areas. As a result, everyone worked together to do the opium business, and the opium business was even more prosperous.
As a result, Huang Tianrong and Du Guosheng and Zhang Tielin became brothers, and the "three tycoons" in Shanghai got together like this.
Of course, the relationship between the three of them is still very "iron" on the surface, but the competition for interests and so on has long affected their so-called "friendship".
Especially the relationship between Zhang Tielin and Huang Tianrong has been very nervous recently. If it weren't for Du Guosheng's "missing" between them, they would have been out of trouble.
However, the situation is now tight, and Zhang Tielin had no choice but to call two "friends" for help!
...
Shanghai Sanxin Company---
This company is a company started by three Shanghai tycoons Du Guosheng, Huang Tianrong and Zhang Tielin.
At this time, in the president's office, Huang Tianrong was smoking a thick cigar leisurely, while Du Guosheng was holding a folding fan in his hand, listening to Zhang Tielin's statement.
"You both know, yes, I'm greedy for money! But I was forced to do things this time! I live in the Japanese concession, and those Japanese are not easy to mess with. They want to open an opium factory in Zhabei. What can I do? Of course, I have to follow their wishes!"
As soon as Zhang Tielin finished speaking, Huang Tianrong sneered: "Are you forced to do it, or do you want to make a fortune yourself?"
"Old Huang, what do you mean?"
"You know what it means best!" Huang Tianrong snorted coldly, "Originally, our Sanxin Company sells opium cigarettes. It seems that you dislike making less money with us, so you are going to throw your arms around and work alone with those Japanese! Who knows that you are stepping on a landmine now and only think of us at this time, are you embarrassed?"
"Old Huang, don't swear!"
"You know whether you are slandering people or not!"
