It has entered the end of summer, and the valley is covered with deep green, the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, and the clear streams flowing quietly cannot hide the fact that prosperity is about to pass.
In a Korean-style luxury manor in the Mid-levels of the suburbs of Seoul, South Korea, in the elegant courtyard, in a small crescent-shaped pond, dozens of koi carp gather at the edge of the pond. Whenever bait is spilled into the pond, the originally elegant koi carp
The fish are like rogues in the market, jostling each other just to get a little bit of food in their mouths.
At noon, the poisonous sun hangs high in the sky. Even under the shade of pine and cypress trees in the courtyard, it makes people feel extremely depressed. Most people hide in air-conditioned rooms, playing a role in global climate warming.
accomplice.
The four predators who attacked Taiwan's financial market are sitting in the house, drinking Korean-style barley tea and admiring the unique courtyard scenery outside the window.
Director Wang was sitting closest to the window, looking at the fish competing for food in the pond outside the window, showing an imperceptible smile.
In the house, Wen Tiren is reading an English version of the Chinese novel "The Legend of Golden Cloud Wings". It is said that this novel was very popular during the Qing Dynasty. The book tells the story of a beautiful oiran who married one of the most famous pirate leaders in the Jiaqing period.
, and later, after the pirate leader was wiped out by the army, she committed suicide and died a beautiful love story.
This book is basically extinct in China, so I can only read the English version.
In fact, the content is not very good. The reason why it was very popular in the Qing Dynasty is because of the inferiority mentality of the Manchus. After they robbed the Han people, they were afraid that the people would think about the good things of the previous dynasty and organize to resist them, so they tried their best to resist them.
The shortcomings of the previous dynasty, including the death of a heinous pirate, were described as extremely desolate by Manchu literati. On the contrary, the Ming army responsible for suppressing bandits and protecting peace was described as very evil.
This is definitely a mentality issue.
Wen Tiren read a short paragraph, picked up the barley tea on the table in front of him, took a sip, smacked his lips, frowned and said: "Every time I drink it, I feel like I'm drinking soaked popcorn. How could a big Korean crotch like to drink this?"
Don’t you have some decent tea?”
Watching the fish vying for food, Director Wang said: "When tea was introduced to Korea, it was a luxury product for the royal family. In order to imitate elegance, many civilians looked for cheap substitutes. This is the case with barley tea. Treating poverty as elegance is a good idea.
A poor man's patent." After saying that, look at
He picked up the barley tea on the table next to him and pushed it aside without taking a sip. He didn't like it either: "When it comes to tea, it's China's Longjing, Tieguanyin, and Pu'er. Personally, I prefer Yuqian Longjing.
Even if you have money in Korea, you can’t buy it.”
Wen Tiren closed the book and nodded in agreement.
The other two people in the room, Bassat from the United States and He from Southeast Asia, both tasted the barley tea with relish. When Mr. ** said this, they looked at each other and then at the tea cup in their hands, and suddenly felt this.
The barley grains and locust flowers floating in the cup look like street stall goods brought out of the slums.
It was difficult for him to put down the teacup. It was his idea to drink barley tea today. He originally wanted to show off his taste, but he was completely belittled. As for the novel "The Legend of Golden Cloud Wings" he gave to everyone, only Wen Tiren could read it.
Director Wang and Basat didn't even bother to open the cover.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he changed the topic and complained: "This Zhang Xiaolong is really annoying. He actually broke the news about our affairs. If the Taiwan authorities intervene, we may be in a lot of trouble."
Basat said disapprovingly: "We have an advantage now, and the Taiwan authorities have no money. What can they do to us? If we suddenly withdraw our capital, they will cry out in fear." As he said this, Basat turned the teacup in his hand.
, and secretly checked the expressions of the three accomplices. In order to embarrass him, he reluctantly took another sip of barley tea.
This tea soup is slimy. It is more like starch water than tea leaves, or fried starch water. No wonder it was belittled by two Chinese people as useless.
Bassat put down the teacup and had no intention of taking another sip.
The four people in the room are now allies with common interests, but the next moment they may be competitors scheming against each other.
Basat is an old thief in the financial world, and he is very aware that the situation at hand is not as good as he said. If the Taiwan authorities intervene in the situation, it will be very troublesome, quite troublesome.
Director Wang and Wen Tiren were definitely on the same team. They exchanged glances with each other and were thinking about what to say.
Previously, Zhang Xiaolong stabbed Hainan Shipping King Li Lang to death. Shanxi Coal Industry King Feng Baokun couldn't withdraw his funds, so naturally he couldn't help. Only Wen Tiren could help Wang.
Director Wang sighed and said with an extremely worried look: "Zhang Xiaolong is very cunning. The finance under his name has caused us a lot of trouble. Now he has inherited two-thirds of West Yang's property and has once again
Intervene in Taiwan's financial market and oppose us everywhere."
Wen Tiren also sighed helplessly.
He said coldly: "Just kill him like Yang. Mr. Wang, you arrange for my people to go to Taiwan again. If you can capture it easily, kill this Zhang Xiaolong too, and you will no longer be able to stop us."
"
The cold expression on his face gradually became ferocious. He had been wandering around Southeast Asia for many years and dealt with all kinds of people. Without some thunderous tactics, he would have been harmonized long ago.
Wen Tiren smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It's impossible, your people can't touch Zhang Xiaolong at all. I'm afraid they were all killed by Zhang Xiaolong's guards before they even got close to the target."
His subordinates were looked down upon and he couldn't lose face as a boss. He said angrily: "My people are all elites. How can I not deal with a small businessman?"
Wen Tiren explained: "Zhang Xiaolong is not an ordinary small businessman. He is a platinum member of the Pinlan Society. The Longtang he founded almost controls the entire Jiangsu, and his record in the underworld is even more brilliant. He once cut a knife in a duel.
He lost an arm of Chen Si in Shenyang, killed two former presidents of the Triads, and wiped out the Philippines in a fit of rage.
Bin San, a major drug lord, helped the Benlei Gang to eradicate the traitor Li Shengmin, killed several senior Yamaguchi-gumi cadres in Japan, and even shot Falk, the eldest son of the Charto family in the United States." After speaking, Wen Tiren shrugged helplessly and said: "
For such a person, the bodyguards around him should be comparable to a national army, and they are also the most elite troops."
After Wen Tiren finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went straight, and he asked in great shock: "Is this Zhang Xiaolong a relative of your senior leader in China? How could he have such a powerful force? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Director Wang added next to him: "I remember that Zhang Xiaolong's maternal grandfather's surname was Shi, and he was very influential in the upper echelons of Yanjing, especially in the military. Also, his father was Zhang Feng, the gambling king of Macau, but the relationship between father and son was not very good.
Zhang Xiaolong never admits that he is Zhang Feng's son and never goes home during holidays."
Most of what Director Wang and Wen Tiren told was the truth, but they deliberately concealed a secret that everyone knew. Zhang Xiaolong was a close disciple of Zhang Tiansheng, the former president of the Pinlan Society. He was not only a platinum member of the Pinlan Society, but also a member of the Pinlan Society.
One of the vice presidents is more likely to become the future president of Pinlan Society.
Neither Basat nor he knew this, so they would be wary of Zhang Xiaolong, but would not give up the fight. If Zhang Tiansheng's name was announced, they would probably run away.
Zhang Tiansheng is famous not only in China, but also around the world.
Bassat said worriedly: "Will Zhang send someone to kill us?" Although he also has bodyguards, compared with the real gangsters, their force is still a little weaker.
Director Wang comforted: "You can rest assured in terms of security. No one knows that we are staying in South Korea. This address is absolutely confidential to prevent anyone from threatening our safety. Moreover, the four of us each brought a hundred bodyguards.
There are four hundred people on the outside protecting this manor, so not even a bird can sneak in."
Basat breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good."
His troubled face was very strange, and he thought for a while and said: "I'm still worried. Some problems should be solved as soon as possible. Mr. Wen, can the spy you buried in the Yang family still be used? Can you find out where Zhang Xiaolong lives in Taiwan?
There are also his daily schedule and the places he often goes to."
Wen Tiren said regretfully: "Generally speaking, I will not use the same eyeliner twice in a row. It is very unsafe. If we want to find out about Zhang Xiaolong, we must rewire it."
He looked at Basat again and asked: "Mr. Basat, Zhang Xiaolong killed the eldest son of the Shartu family. They will definitely find a way to take revenge. Should we cooperate with the Shartu family? I believe they will be very happy."
Willing to cooperate with us.”
Basat nodded: "That's no problem, I can contact them."
Wen Tiren looked at Director Wang and asked with his eyes how to deal with it. Director Wang chuckled and shook his head slightly. According to their many years of cooperation experience, Director Wang planned to let them have a head-on conflict with Zhang Xiaolong and then watch the fun from the side.
Basat contacted the Shartu family and received a response soon. The two parties reached an agreement to cooperate. The Shartu family was responsible for investigating Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts. Then the two parties joined forces to kill Zhang Xiaolong in one fell swoop.
He could hardly transfer his men to Zhejiang, ready to cross the sea and launch a surprise attack on Zhang Xiaolong at any time.
Just as these people were preparing to attack Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaolong was also looking for the whereabouts of Director Wang and others. Zhang Xiaolong's preparation method was also very straightforward, which was to send assassins to kill them all at once.
But no one would have thought that the four financial giants were hiding in South Korea. Zhang Xiaolong spent money to mobilize all the gangs in Taiwan and spread the net to search for the whereabouts of the four people, but he did not get any clues.
Director Wang and others were not found, nor were the Wenzhou people mentioned by Tong Anru. The investigation once again fell into a quagmire.
