Republic of China Tycoon Reborn

Du Yuesheng was woken up by Chen Junrong's slap: "Yuesheng, get up quickly, Chen Qimei is here to see you!"

This sentence made Du Yuesheng sit up suddenly. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Who are you talking about?"

"Chen Qimei." Chen Junrong urged him repeatedly: "They are in the living room, why don't you go quickly?"

Du Yuesheng got up quickly, washed his face and dressed neatly. Three minutes later, the radiant Du Yuesheng came out with a smile on his face: "Master Chen, how dare you do me such a favor? I was about to go over to see you."

Chen Qimei is sitting at the front desk in the living room drinking tea. He is dressed elegantly today. He is wearing a suit, tie, shirt, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. It is not the military uniform Du Yuesheng imagined at all. There is only one person beside him, who is probably a secretary. Still considered a guard.

"Old friend, don't call me that." Chen Qimei smiled slightly, put down the tea cup and stood up: "If it hadn't been for Brother Yuesheng who encouraged Mr. Sun to act arbitrarily, I wouldn't be where I am now. I came to see you, then It's also reasonable. Haha, if I act like a governor in front of you, my brother, wouldn't that be too stupid?"

Chen Qimei, who was about forty years old, called her "Yue Sheng brother" without feeling awkward at all. Du Yuesheng greeted him politely and repeatedly said that she should visit him first. After the courtesy, Chen Qimei said casually: "Yue Sheng Brother, things are different now. In the past, we were both wanted criminals by the Qing court, so I had nothing to offer you. Now, we have truly turned over."

"I'm just waiting for Governor Chen to come and help me." Du Yuesheng is not stupid. Back then, Chen Qimei was Yan Laojiu's prisoner, so he was naturally his equal. But now that he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Shanghai Army, he has nothing to do in front of him. Putting on airs is very valuable. If you still want to be careless and disrespectful to him, then you are simply seeking death.

"If you need any help, just let me know." Chen Qimei took care of you: "In Shanghai, my words are of some use."

"You are well versed in the affairs of the Qinggang. You know that my old man is Chen Shichang. Yuesheng is incompetent and completely lost the territory that the old man had conquered. I was thinking about when I could get the territory back. Not for anything else, just so that I can have some confidence when I pay homage at the old man’s grave in the future.”

Chen Qimei laughed: "This is easy to talk about. But Yuesheng, now is the Republic of China, and you are no longer an outsider. I will tell you the truth. Charging protection fees and selling opium is not a problem after all. You have to Let’s do some serious business.”

To be honest, Chen Qimei was a little confused about Du Yuesheng's request. First, from a practical point of view, although Chen Shichang has been a gangster who has been around Shiliupu for a long time, to put it bluntly, he has never been able to get on the stage. He charges protection fees, but that is just There were only a few small shops for him, and he didn't even dare to mess with the well-established shops on the 16th floor. He sold opium, but compared to Huang Huangrong. Huang Huangrong ate meat, and he didn't even bother with the broth. If you can't drink it, you can only lick the bottom of the bowl. What's so unforgettable about this kind of job? He didn't believe that Du Yuesheng, a man who had killed Yan Jiuling and saved the revolutionary party, would like such a tasteless job.

Second, in terms of personal factors. Although he has not known Du Yuesheng for a long time, he can see that Du Yuesheng does not like to bully people for no reason. If he is asked to collect protection money, he will probably not be able to open a business in a year. First, Du Yuesheng showed his disgust for opium both in and out of his words. How could he possibly be selling opium again? Could it be that he had changed his gender during his years in Sichuan?

"Yes, it is true that we can no longer do that kind of piecemeal business." Du Yuesheng thought thoughtfully: "The words of Governor Chen woke me up from my dream. I still have to live in Shiliubu, but I can no longer collect protection fees.

I'm selling opium again. I have to do some serious business. How about this? Can you help me build a few small piers on the Huangpu River? Not only can I earn some money, but I can also contribute to our business community in Shanghai.

Contribution, what do you think?"

Chen Qimei suddenly realized. He thought that after such a big circle, Du Yuesheng was eyeing the fat piece of Shiliupu Wharf. Although Chen Qimei was the governor, he had the final say on Shanghai Beach. How could he not know?

The importance of Shiliupu Pier? Shiliupu Pier is a cash cow in Shanghai, and I don’t know how many people are staring at it. Even the government only directly controls a small part of it. Other parts can only

Take some tax.

It's ridiculous that I was thinking about Du Yuesheng's lack of ambition just now. Who would have thought that he would have to do a lot of things as soon as he returned to Shanghai. This kid is quite naughty. He obviously wanted to get involved in Shiliupu Pier. But when he was asked to say this today, it seemed like

It was me who gave him the idea and persuaded him to build Shiliupu Wharf.

The Revolutionary Party has been renamed the Kuomintang, but the people are still the same people as before. Not only Chiang Kai-shek, Du Xinwu and others, but also Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren also mentioned to him that they would help Du Yuesheng more if they had the opportunity in the future. Chen Qimei really wanted to help Du Yuesheng, but

What's the point? As of today, Shiliupu Pier is in a delicate balance. If outsiders interfere, there may be chaos. If Shiliupu Pier is in chaos, not only the entire Shanghai economy will be affected.

, and who knows how much opinion those big guys who have just become citizens of the Republic of China will have on them?

Stability is everything! Chen Qimei warned himself in his heart. He smiled at Du Yuesheng: "Ha, I don't understand this dock or anything. You know, I am the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai army, not the mayor of Shanghai. I am in charge of the army and not the people. This

Well, you have to go to Mayor Gao Hongbo and Gao. Let’s do this. When you are free, I will take you to visit him personally. Ha, we are all old acquaintances, and he will definitely help you with all his heart."

Chen Qimei was using a delaying tactic. Du Yuesheng had already fully understood the current situation in Shanghai through various channels before coming to Shanghai. How could he not know that Chen Qimei was playing ball?

Du Yuesheng lighted a cigar leisurely. He smoked cigars now. He used to smoke cigars as cigarettes. Now he smokes cigars, taking his time. It's not called smoking, it's called tasting.

: "Of course Mayor Gao wants to visit, but shouldn't I compete with you on his honesty? If you have money, everyone can make it. If I build a dock, I will give you 50% of the net profit. I will follow you for the rest.

How about my partner’s share? It’s not for the government, but for you personally.”

Chen Qimei had already stood up, but after hearing Du Yuesheng's words, he paused. Then he smiled: "I have such a heavy responsibility, how can I have time to get involved in the business world? Let's not mention this. Yuesheng, find an opportunity as soon as possible, and I will bring you

You go find Gao Hongbo."

The secretary behind him left an address and phone number for Du Yuesheng, and then Du Yuesheng escorted Chen Qimei out of Du's house. Waiting until Chen Qimei's car disappeared at the end of the road, Du Yuesheng turned back to the house and smiled at Chen Junrong who was following behind him: "

Are you watching? This old fox will not let go of the hawk until it sees the rabbit."
