"Just suppressing the Cao Gang won't hurt them. The Cao Gang is still valuable to the party and the country. Chairman Chiang has no choice but to do this. Please take the overall situation into consideration." Dai Li was obviously soft and hard.
of.
"Well, I can't agree to this for the time being. I'll give you a definite answer after I discuss it with Brother Jin Rong, Brother Xiao Lin, Gu Zhuxuan and others." Du Yuesheng thought about it for a while, and since the matter is serious, he
You can't make the decision alone.
Dai Li was helpless. Although he now held considerable power, he really didn't have the energy to control the gangs in Shanghai. If he didn't, he might get burned.
In Shanghai, if you do big things, you will probably not be able to do it without the support of the Qinghong Gang.
Dai Li wants to make a lot of money in Shanghai next. If he offends Du Yuesheng today, this road will be blocked.
"We can't delay this matter, we have to do it as soon as possible. I'm also very stressed." Dai Li said with a grimace.
"Yunong, I don't understand why Mr. Jiang suddenly wanted to attack the Cao Gang? Where did the Cao Gang accidentally offend you?" Du Yuesheng wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter, so he could discuss it with his brothers.
Dai Li smiled bitterly and did not answer.
He couldn't explain this matter clearly to Du Yuesheng, and it would be a bit embarrassing for Mr. Jiang to say it.
Because Caobang transported a batch of arms to Jiangxi and ended up falling into the hands of the Communist Party, and then the Communist troops used this batch of arms to defeat the national army, so Mr. Jiang held a grudge and wanted to go out.
A breath of bad breath.
It is said that leaders should not be so stingy and should pay attention to laws and regulations when doing things, but Mr. Jiang is the person who least cares about laws and regulations, and he is also the most stingy person.
In fact, he didn't say anything, but Du Yuesheng knew in his heart that it should be related to the batch of arms lost by the Japanese.
But Dai Li refused to say it, and he couldn't confirm that it was definitely the result of this incident. In this case, he would have to hesitate a little longer and not agree immediately.
"Brother, I have one more thing to ask you." Dai Li stroked his hands again and said with a smile.
"You said, as long as I can do it, it will be no problem." Du Yuesheng said with a smile.
Dai Li talked about his plan to make money by dumping cigarettes in Shanghai. Naturally, this was a big thing, not an ordinary one.
Du Yuesheng was shocked and looked at Dai Li.
He didn't understand why Dai Li wanted to get involved in the tobacco and soil business in Shanghai. Who didn't know that most of the tobacco and soil business was within his sphere of influence.
This is tantamount to sharing the pie with the Qinghong Gang in Shanghai. To put it harshly, is Dai Li trying to steal business from himself?
"Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to steal business from you, but from other people's hands. The main reason is that I don't have a big appetite. It's enough to earn 1.8 million a year.
." Dai Li hurriedly explained.
"One million and eight hundred thousand is not much?" Du Yuesheng said with a wry smile.
"Shanghai's annual tobacco business must be worth tens of millions at least. I only need one-tenth of the share. Isn't it too much?" Dai Li said.
"Brother, what do you want so much money for? I know you are not greedy for money?" Du Yuesheng was puzzled.
"Of course I'm not greedy for money, but the organization has snowballed in the past two years, getting bigger and bigger. I have so many brothers, and I can't let them go hungry. I have to find ways to make money to support them," Dai Li said.
"You're talking about the Fuxing Society, right? But hasn't Lao Sheng always provided for you? Oh, by the way, you arrested Xiaolu, but Lao Sheng got angry and stopped cooperating with you, right?" Du Yuesheng said, haha.
Laughed loudly.
"That's not true, President Sheng has not stopped cooperating with us." Dai Li hurriedly distinguished.
"As far as I know, it seems that they have stopped paying you, forcing you to put the little guy back. What do you think? Why are you grabbing the trail? He is a good young man. Really, I
If I had such a son, I wouldn't ask for anything." Du Yuesheng said lightly.
"Chairman Sheng is reluctant to give up. The committee is actually educating Lu Ming for Chairman Sheng, not really punishing him." Dai Li said, evading the important points and taking the easy way out.
"Why vent your anger on the little guy? What is the misunderstanding between you and Lao Sheng? I even called Mr. Jiang specifically about this matter, but Mr. Jiang just dealt with me and refused to give me a practical answer." Du Yuesheng
He said helplessly.
"This is what happened." Dai Li had no choice but to tell the truth. Du Yuesheng was not an outsider anyway. If he wanted to know these things, he could easily find out.
He told the story of how the Japanese arms were jointly hijacked by Jin Jiu and Lu Ming, and later snatched away by Communist troops down the mountain.
Dai Li's implication is that although the operation was carried out by people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, it was Lu Ming who provided the funds, and then Lu Ming hired the Cao Gang's ship to transport the arms to the Jiangxi front line. In the end, the arms were stolen by the Communist Party
-The party robbed.
"You arrested the little guy because of this? No wonder Lao Sheng didn't give you money. If it were on me, I would go even further. Xiaolu provided funds to the people of the Republic of Korea to deal with the Japanese. Is there anything wrong with that?
"To transport goods, if he doesn't hire the Caobang's boat, whose boat should he hire?" Du Yuesheng is really a reasonable person.
"The committee member is angry because the arms were stolen by the Communist Party, which ruined the party-state affairs." Dai Li explained.
"You lost the arms yourself, why did you take it out on others? Not only did you seize Xiaolu, but you also suppressed the Caogang? I don't know if I was confused and couldn't understand, or if there was something wrong with what you did?" Du Yuesheng had no idea.
Said politely.
Dai Li was also speechless. If he had followed his thoughts, it shouldn't be so extreme at all and he could just investigate in secret.
There is no need for the Military Justice Department to come forward and arrest Lu Ming and take him to Nanjing. As a result, he is now riding a tiger and is in trouble.
"It's true that promotion leads to a bad temper. Mr. Jiang was not so bad-tempered when he was in Shanghai. What's going on now?" Du Yuesheng sneered.
Dai Li did not dare to speak. Du Yuesheng, Sheng Youde and others could complain about Mr. Jiang when they were unhappy, but he did not dare to say anything unless it was to praise or brag.
But in front of Du Yuesheng, any words of praise or bragging will only make him embarrassed. The best way is to say nothing.
"Don't you know that what Lao Sheng cares about most is not his vast wealth, but his two descendants, one is his daughter, and the other is Xiaolu, his nephew. They are both his darlings, and no one cares about them.
Those who dare to provoke you. Besides, Lao Sheng has supported you enough over the years. He needs military expenditures for military expenditures and funds for funds. Although they are all loans, would another person be willing to do this?" Du Yuesheng said coldly.
Although Du Yuesheng is a gang leader, he is the most particular about morality. Of course, the morality he values is also the morality of the world that has been preserved since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so he really can't understand Mr. Jiang's current behavior.
"I know this. Chairman Sheng has made great contributions to the party and the country." Dai Li mumbled.
"Yunong, I know these things have nothing to do with you. When you go back, talk to Mr. Jiang and end it as soon as possible. Don't make it too tense. No one will lose face in the end. This matter actually has nothing to do with me, but I
I just can't stand it, I have to say a few words." Du Yuesheng said in a dull voice.
"That's right, brother Renyi, everyone knows this. The commissioner often mentioned you to me, saying that as long as Mr. Du is in Shanghai, he will be relieved about Shanghai." Dai Li said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang is talking about beautiful words. Beautiful words alone are of no use. I, Old Du, have a realization that you need to eat three bowls of noodles to be a human being." Du Yuesheng relaxed a little when he talked about this topic.
"Three bowls of noodles? What do you mean by brother? I'd like to hear the details." Dai Li knew that Du Yuesheng had a set of standards for life, and wanted to learn two tricks from him.
"Then let me tell you, the first bowl of noodles is decency. A person's dressing, image and temperament are decency, aura, and a person's expectations for himself." Du Yuesheng said as she brushed her robe.
.
"Then what's the second bowl of noodles?" Dai Li became interested.
"The second bowl of noodles is spectacle, which is a symbol of one's status. People with great ability will be said to be stingy if they organize small events, while those who are incompetent but want to organize large events will be said to be trying to make a fool of themselves.
.The scene must be done just right so as not to be criticized." Du Yuesheng said softly.
"Ah, brother is right, the scene is so important. Zuo Zuo's daily life is very boring, but when he goes out, he pays attention to the scene. What you say makes sense. So what is the third bowl of noodles?" Dai Li followed closely.
asked.
"The third bowl of noodles is the most unpalatable and must be eaten, which is the human face. The human face involves the sophistication of the world. If you are not careful, it will make people criticize you. The human face can show how a person behaves and has emotions.
People who meet others will know how to protect other people's face." Du Yuesheng tapped the table lightly to indicate that this sentence had hidden meaning.
"Well, what brother said makes sense. Yunong has learned a lesson." Dai Li bent down and bowed.
"Yunong, you must remember that when money is used up, friendship cannot be used up. So when others save money, I save friendship. Do you understand?" Du Yuesheng further prompted.
"Brother, what you said is the true meaning of life. Today is really not in vain." Dai Li pretended not to understand the meaning of Du Yuesheng's words.
"If a person doesn't show kindness, who will dare to do their best for you in the future? In addition, by the way, Americans are not easy to mess with. Xiaolu is now protected by the US government. Mr. Jiang doesn't even have this kindness.
Have you told me?" Du Yuesheng couldn't help but lifted the lid.
"I will definitely tell the committee what my eldest brother said when I get back, and I will handle this matter well." Dai Li said respectfully.
"You want to do something big in Shanghai, how can you not give face to someone like Lao Sheng who has done great service to you? Yu Nong, think about it carefully, am I right or not?" Du Yuesheng said frankly.
