When they arrived at the Xu family, the old man of the Xu family had just woken up from his lunch break, and the servant asked them to wait.
After waiting for about half an hour, Mrs. Xu came out.
When several people greeted them, Mrs. Xu was warm and kind, and praised them as if they were children.
Then, Mrs. Xu's eldest grandson, Xu Yinjie's eldest brother, also came to accompany them and entertain them.
After the business talk was over, Mrs. Xu talked about playing cards. Cheng Li and Zhu Yucheng understood the news and stood up to leave. Yun Qiao saw Mr. Xu begging to stay and remembered Cheng's father's words, so she stayed.
While playing cards, Yun Qiao complained in a very informal manner: "...he always harasses me. I have told him clearly many times, but he still refuses to listen."
The eldest son of the Xu family: "..."
But Mrs. Xu burst out laughing: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so generous."
"He's not a gentleman either." Yun Qiao's face darkened.
Mrs. Xu then said: "Send him a telegram later. If he doesn't listen, let him come back."
Young Master Xu: "Yes, Grandpa."
After this incident, Young Master Xu and Yun Qiao talked about the docks in Yancheng, the Qinggang and the profitable business.
Xi Lanting sat with him and played cards.
Today, he was very sharp, spoke little, and acted like a bodyguard. Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu gradually stopped paying attention to him.
For the first time, Yun Qiao knew that Xi Lanting could be so low-key.
"...Yun Qiao, are Deputy Leader Qian close to you?" Young Master Xu asked.
Yun Qiao: "Fortunately, Uncle Qian takes good care of me."
"Don't blame me for sowing discord, I will say it directly." Xu Dashao said, "Mainland warlords and high-ranking officials all use Yantu's private lines.
Qian's deputy faucet is stuck and he has cut off several threads in his hand. Yun Qiao, the Saigon Pier is still in your hands. You can buy foreign goods there, such as soaps and matches. How many threads are there?
Money?"
Yun Qiao seemed stunned.
She was silent for a while and then asked: "Young Master, does the Xu family also have a dock?"
"We have used everything we have, and the British have been watching us. Now there are two big shots, with at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and they want a private line.
We don’t need to share this money with the British, we can share more. If you give up the two docks in Saigon owned by Granny Xiao, you will get at least a million oceans of dividends a year." Xu Dashao said with a smile.
Yun Qiao seemed to be in a panic, and her mahjong hand was unsteady.
"...After grandma passed away, those in charge didn't listen to me much, and listened more to Uncle Qian." Yun Qiao panicked, "Brother, if you ask me, I definitely want to make money. I'm so young, and I'll need money in the future.
There are many places. But Uncle Qian’s place..."
After that, she went to see Mrs. Xu, as if she wanted the Xu family to help her find a solution.
Mr. Xu smiled slightly: "Don't be anxious, you have to make money slowly. No matter how powerful Qian Changping is, he is not the heir of Granny Xiao. Yun Qiao, you should stand up."
"Yes, Yun Qiao." Young Master Xu said immediately, and then pointed at Xi Lanting, "You are at the Xi family now, doesn't Commander Xi want a private line?
A bag of tobacco can be exchanged for a gold bar. How much does a ship of goods cost? Who is not greedy? Yun Qiao, don't let the deputy leader of money choke your throat. In the end, you won't be able to share a bowl of soup."
Xi Lanting's expression was expressionless, and he did not show any emotion at all because of the mention of the Xi family.
Yun Qiao looked greedy and hesitant at the same time, as if she wanted to eat but was afraid of burning it.
Young Master Xu felt that Yun Qiao was easy to handle.
The Xu family originally planned to wait for Granny Xiao's anniversary to pay homage and then discuss the matter with Yun Qiao, but unexpectedly Yun Qiao arrived in Hong Kong early.
Yun Qiao is an orphan, young and ill-informed. When the Xu family casually mentioned "a million-dollar bonus", Yun Qiao couldn't control herself.
Everyone had a great time chatting, and Yun Qiao stayed at Xu's house for dinner.
We didn’t talk about the dock during dinner.
After leaving Xu's house, all the expressions on Yun Qiao's face calmed down. Xi Rong rented a car and was waiting at the door to pick them up. After getting in the car, Yun Qiao's face turned cold.
