"Sir, you burned like this in the Central Sports Plaza yesterday, and the price of underground opium in the French Concession has increased by 30%!" The next morning, Yan Leihui reported.

"Well, the person who benefits the most now should be Huang Jinrong?"

"Yes, however, the inventory in his hands is not large, and it is all Persian, which is more expensive than Liao and Sichuan, so it has little impact on the market. However, Huang Jinrong is a greedy man. Although he did not agree to the Japanese to do things, he secretly hooked up with the Japanese. Therefore, we must be careful, and he is very likely to take this opportunity to go back to Yin Zhang Xiaolin."

"No, although Huang Jinrong is greedy for money, he also knows that he is a silly person. If he is more rational, he will not add any harm to Zhang at this time." Lu Xiyan said.

"What do you mean?"

"Looking at Huang Mansion, I want to keep an eye on Huang Mansion's every move at any time."

"clear."

...

"Sir, a guest named Ding came to visit. He said he had something important to talk to you." Ma Xiaowu came in and reported that the captain of the smoke-free brigade was still following Lu Xiyan, and the basic affairs of the brigade were handed over to Yang Yiming. Xu Qing and Wang Lin watched, and were not worried about the loss of power.

"Oh, please come in."

Lu Xiyan regarded the Windsor Hotel as his temporary office location. He didn't have to be polite with Tang Jin anyway.

"I have met Dong Lu in Ding Songqiao."

"Mr. Ding's name, Mr. Lu, have heard of it for a long time, please sit down." Lu Xiyan smiled. It was Ding Songqiao, and it must have been sent by Lu Jinshi.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Ding, since you are all wise people, let me tell you what you want." Lu Xiyan asked directly.

"Okay, Dong Lu is quick to speak quickly, so Ding is not polite. Our Mr. Lu is now the same goal as you. You want to ban smoking in the French Concession, and he also wants to get rid of Zhang Xiaolin, a traitor, and we are working together?" Ding Songqiao said.

"Yes, but how about a cooperation method?" Lu Xiyan thought intently, nodded in agreement.

"We provide information and can even directly participate in your smoking ban, while Director Lu needs to provide us with a chance to kill with one blow." Ding Songqiao said.

"It's not easy for you to kill Zhang Xiaolin. He has many bodyguards around him, so assassination is very difficult."

"Dr. Lu must worry about it. We will judge when the time is ripe." Ding Songqiao said with a hint of arrogant smile.

"Do you have only one condition?"

"Yes, we only have this condition." Ding Songqiao said very affirmatively.

"Okay, I promised your conditions, but how should I contact you?" Lu Xiyan asked.

“We hope to have a person arranged in your smoke-free brigade.”

Lu Xiyan's eyes shrank slightly. He wanted to install eyeliners in his smoking ban brigade, and it was obvious. This surprised him a little.

Is Lu Jinshi too confident, or is he using this method to show his sincerity?

"We hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Director Lu," Ding Songqiao explained.

"Okay, but you have to know that the first thing that the people in the Smoking Ban Team must have is that they are not gang members, otherwise they will never join."

"It must be not a gang member?" Ding Songqiao frowned slightly. He really didn't expect this.

"This is the rule I set, it's hard for me to break it."

"Okay, I agree." Ding Songqiao thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed. The conditions and constraints are mutual. If they are gang members, they will inevitably have something to do with the Qinghong Gang, which is to prevent problems before they happen.

"Dr. Lu, this morning, Chen Qi asked Boss Huang's butler Cheng Xiwen to have tea in Deshenglou. I think you should be very interested in this news. Goodbye!" Ding Songqiao stood up, clasped his fists, and said goodbye and left.

...

"Does Zhang Xiaolin have other opium ore warehouses?"

"It should be, but they are all shipment warehouses, and the inventory should not be large. And after this incident, I'm afraid it has been transferred long ago." Yan Lei said.

"After the batch of goods he has been burned by us, the next batch of goods will not be shipped at least half a month. During this period, he must have goods to stabilize the supply, otherwise his market share in the French Concession will be eroded by others." Lu Xiyan said, "There are few people who have goods in hand and have the ability to compete with Zhang Xiaolin for the French Concession market. Huang Jinrong is one."

"You mean, Chen Qi made an appointment with Cheng Xiwen to stabilize Huang Jinrong?"

"It's hard to say that Chen Qi is Zhang Xiaolin's in-laws, his big brother and think tank. The irritable Zhang Xiaolin is the best fighter among the three tycoons, but what he heard the most was Chen Qi's words. If Zhang Xiaolin is today, Chen Qi's contribution will be at least half of the credit." Lu Xiyan shook his head.

"Yes, Zhang Xiaolin must be calming down Huang Jinrong and not snatch the market with him. Maybe he will give up one for him on his own initiative, but he is also looking for a source of goods, so the Japanese..."

"That's right, Yan Lei, Zhang Xiaolin will definitely ask the Japanese for help. The Japanese will definitely help him for the interests and influence of the French Concession." Lu Xiyan said.

"That……"

"This time we can't use the smoke ban team. A surprise attack was because the opponent was not prepared, so we had the upper hand. It was impossible for the second time." Lu Xiyan said, "This time we might have to rely on Lu Jinshi's power."

"Sir, why don't you..."

"So many pairs of eyes are watching, so don't use it, try not to use it." Lu Xiyan said.

"clear."

...

Zhang Gongguan.

"Old Chen, what does Cheng Xiwen say? What does Lao Huang mean?" Zhang Xiaolin was restless all day and finally waited until Chen Qi came over.

"I heard from Manager Cheng that Mr. Huang understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. He can even match our batch of goods, but the price must be 30% higher than the market. In addition, he also asked us to give him 30% of the share." Chen Qi said with a little tiredness.

"What, this jute, is taking advantage of the situation to rob!" Zhang Xiaolin was furious when he heard this.

"Ahu, if we don't agree to his conditions, our only remaining inventory will be cut in less than three days. If there are no customers, our share will still run to him." Chen Qi said.

"You mean, promise him?"

"Yes, let's get through this level first." Chen Qi said, "But we have got the goods, so we won't be busy. I infer that Boss Huang doesn't have much goods in his hands. This ban on smoking is not just for us, right? Then he is taking private revenge?"

"What do you mean is to disclose the warehouse of Zhumazi to the boy named Lu, and let him take off the warehouse of Zhumazi as well?"

"Yes, but it must be after we get the goods he gave us."

"Master, Weng Zuoqing is back."

"Hurry, please invite him in." Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly ordered.

Weng Zuoqing hurriedly came in from outside and saw Chen Qi also present, so he hurriedly greeted him: "How is Mr. Qi talking to Cheng Xiwen?"

"The lion opens his mouth and adds harm to the wrong person."

"Master, I'm not optimistic either." Weng Zuoqing shook his head slightly and said.

"Why, is Mr. Li planning to refuse to save him?" Zhang Xiaolin said angrily. He had earned so much money for the Japanese. In the end, in his own trouble, these Japanese actually stood by and watched?

"Master, you misunderstood. It was not that you saw Mr. Li not helping him, but that you had bought all the goods in Mr. Li except for the ones you left for yourself." Weng Zuoqing said with a wry smile.

“Who bought it?”

"Ji Yunqing." Weng Zuoqing spit out a name.

"Battlemen, you can take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation to rob us. Zuo Qing, can you give us some goods?" Zhang Xiaolin was furious and there was no goods. The underground earth shops, Yanzike and retail opium under his name were all out of stock.

How much loss will be on this day? It is conceivable that he has to rely on these to support thousands of gangs under his command. Otherwise, why should these people work hard for you?

"At most ten boxes, there will be an additional 30% increase." Weng Zuoqing said.

“Supply, why?”

"Because Ji Yunqing increased the price by 30%, he bought all his inventory under his command." Weng Zuoqing said.

"Ahu, ten boxes of goods can at least last a day." Chen Qi said, "Zuo Qing, have you agreed to meet Mr. Li?"

"I agreed, and the goods were shipped back quietly tonight."

"Well, although there are not many ten boxes of goods, you have better than that. Lao Chen and Lao Huang have agreed to him. He wants 30% of the shares, so let's give it to him." Zhang Xiaolin gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I'll go and call Huang Mansion now."

"Master, how much goods should Boss Huang give us?"

"One hundred boxes of soil printing, but the price will also be increased by 30%, and we will also need 30% of the market share." Chen Qi smiled bitterly.

"Damn it, isn't this a robbery!"

Zhang Xiaolin's face turned black like charcoal at the bottom of the pot. He really didn't expect that a small revenge would bring such huge losses to him. He underestimated this Lu Xiyan too much.

"A Si!"

"Master, please look for me..." Asi hurriedly came in from outside.

...

Lu Xiyan didn't go to work and asked for leave, so he stayed in the Windsor Hotel.

At noon, Meng Hao came over.

He also brought his entire group with him. He had only one purpose, to protect his brother-in-law Lu Xiyan, and this task was something he had fought for based on reason.

"Haozi, stay your people, but you have to leave immediately. Mengyao is about to give birth to her. I order you to go back and pack up and go to Hong Kong quickly." Lu Xiyan was very moved, but he still gave him a stern order, asking him to go to Hong Kong to accompany Xi Mengyao for delivery.

It is a sacred duty to be a father to accompany his wife to wait for the birth of his children.

"I won't leave, I'll leave. Who will protect you, brother-in-law, do you know who you offended? How many people on the road want your life?"

"Bastard!" Lu Xiyan had never been so angry, and raised his hand and slapped him.

Bang!
