"Brother, if we do this, the higher ups won't be unhappy, right? After all, this is what the higher ups have indicated asking us to contact and test with the Japanese."
One of his subordinates still spoke, but Boss Guo didn't say much. This is indeed a problem that some people are worried about, and since he asked this question, it means that he is still more inclined to himself than to the above.
What's wrong.
"We are just on the fringes at the top, and they can't control us much. Moreover, the top people want to join the Japanese line because their power has been suppressed by others.
At this time, for the above, we need to win over and win over, because we, the peripheral people, are more likely to lose control or even jump back.
At this time, every time you reduce any force, it will widen the gap with others, and even cause a chain reaction. A bunch of people will jump and their vitality will be seriously damaged. So, at this time, as long as you don't go too far and don't touch the bottom line
, they will all turn a blind eye or close one eye.
Moreover, I don't think that the higher-ups will take sides at this time. Even if the Japanese promise more benefits, the other side only has so much space now, and the benefits will probably have to wait until the future to be realized.
But the prerequisite is that you must be able to survive until then. Based on the above situation, once you take sides, in the concession, the government, other gangs and even within, some people will want to kill him and eat him. But do the Japanese now have the ability to save him? Save
How much power can be preserved? If there is not much power left, can the Japanese fulfill their promises?
So! The above are most likely flirting with the Japanese. At most, they will send some peripheral forces, disciples, etc., and let the Japanese use them as cannon fodder to make some transactions and so on. But it is absolutely impossible to publicly take a stand, even to us,
At most, it’s just a hint and inducement, and I will never leave any excuse for people to make a fuss about it.”
After going around in such a circle, the subordinates were a little confused, but they generally understood that the superiors did not dare to openly support the Japanese, nor did they dare to force them to do so. As long as they did not go too far, the superiors would turn a blind eye. Now many people
I can feel relieved now.
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore. I asked you to inquire before. What did you find out about Boss Zhu?" Boss Guo lowered his voice and asked, and led everyone further away from the crowd.
"...Brother, the people I usually come into contact with at Boss Zhu's place are still the same people..."
"...Brother, I haven't seen anything unusual in the industries, construction sites, etc. under Mr. Zhu so far..."
"...Brother, someone here saw that Mr. Zhu's sixth subordinate has been running to dance halls recently..."
"...Wait..." Upon hearing this, Boss Guo quickly stopped and asked: "Where did he go? Who was he with? Who did he meet inside?"
"...This..." After struggling for a while, the men said: "We didn't check it carefully. We only know that we went quite far. We usually go to the Central District of the Public Concession and the Fahua District to play, but I heard from some people outside
Friends who work in dance halls say that this guy is very generous and often brings the same very beautiful oriole to play with. I don't know the rest."
"So in the gang, who does he usually get close to?" After hearing this, Boss Guo did not express any dissatisfaction, but continued to ask questions.
"They're so close? Isn't that the fourth child under Mr. Zhu? They are from the same hometown, and they usually wear a pair of trousers."
The subordinate replied with some confusion, Boss Guo was a little speechless, everyone knows this, do I still need to ask you?
"Except for the fourth child, who has he been close to recently? In other words, the number of contacts has increased."
The subordinate understood it, thought about it carefully, and said: "If you put it this way, someone saw that the sixth and second son had been in and out of restaurants many times, and they were outside. They were not in the same industry. In the past,
But there wasn’t much interaction.”
Boss Guo nodded and said: "Please make arrangements to have Boss Zhu's second child, fourth child, sixth child, and sixth child go to the dance hall and keep an eye on the celebrity, and if you find anything, report it to me immediately.
"
After hearing this, the subordinate hesitated for a while and said, "Brother, this is not good! These are Boss Zhu's own affairs. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain if he is discovered."
After hearing this, Boss Guo said: "I'm worried that someone wants to cause trouble under Boss Zhu. If something happens, it will destroy the balance of the situation here. And Boss Guo is the pillar of this area. If something happens to him, we won't get any benefit."
.”
After listening to this, the subordinates were all confused. The first one was easy to understand. They obviously suspected that someone under Boss Zhu wanted to take the position or change the family, but what the hell was behind him? If he fell, wouldn't we just have a chance to grab him?
Boss Guo was a little tired and didn't want to say more, and he didn't want to say more. After all, it would make others more ambitious. He just gave instructions and asked him to do as he asked.
What he said is not nonsense. It is easy to understand how to break the situation. Regardless of whether Mr. Zhu jumped to the Japanese and allowed their power to surge here, or whether there was a power vacuum due to internal strife, and the chaos caused by it, the world was at a loss.
At a time when the Shanghai gang situation is in turmoil, it may not be a good thing for them.
As for what the pillar said, this is not nonsense. Most of the people in the gang are not aware of Boss Zhu's energy. At least they who are so-called parallels cannot see enough in front of him.
You need to know, who are the people he usually comes into contact with in the businesses he occupies? They are either big landowners, big real estate developers, or all kinds of rich and powerful owners. In recent years, banks have invested heavily in real estate. Behind that, it is not big people.
Capital belongs to the rich.
People who can usually come into contact with him at will may not be able to curry favor with them. Even if others don't look at him, but he can talk to him, he is much higher than them. Besides, there is still cooperation between the two parties. There is cooperation.
If there is an exchange of interests, how could it not be involved?
It's just that Boss Zhu is not very ambitious, and he likes to get involved in things he doesn't like, so he offends many people, even several large gang forces, so he doesn't stay here.
go out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, in Boss Guo’s view, it is also because of this that Boss Zhu has been able to control those industries. After all, if you are powerful, you will definitely benefit from sharing the profits.
Also bigger.
Although this is only a sub-prosperous area, it is a sub-prosperous area of the concession, and the most prosperous area of the concession has long been crowded with various top industries, and land prices have skyrocketed. Therefore, real estate investment is mainly concentrated in
This kind of sub-prosperous, or even worse, land.
From the parties involved, we can see how much interest there is in it. In other areas, there are very few forces like Mr. Zhu. Normally, there will be forces in places with interests, let alone Shanghai, where gangs are rampant. This
There are no gangs among them, which explains a lot of problems.
Boss Zhu can exist because his ambitions are relatively limited, and he can indeed solve many problems for them. The other reason is that he can block the forces that some people want to infiltrate, so behind him,
It has the tacit approval and certain support of these people, and the energy is far beyond their comparison.
Moreover, the infiltration of those big gangs and big forces was almost due to their existence, so they did not extend their hands in large numbers. It was only because of these forces that they were able to maintain a considerable say in this territory.
Of course, the actual situation is much more complicated, and Boss Guo can understand it to some extent, but it is undeniable that Boss Zhu deserves the title of pillar. Once he falls, their good days will come to an end.
So! As soon as the Japanese came, he asked people to pay attention to Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu’s character brought him unexpected benefits, but it also laid a trap. Given the Japanese’s peeing, there is a high probability that they will be here.
It was making a fuss, but this was something he never wanted to see.
…
"Have your things been hidden?"
On the other side, Lin Mo and the others took away the things from Zhu Sanbao's possession, found a place, and took a set of ordinary citizen's clothes. After changing out of the previous outfit, they found a place for Zhu Sanbao to go in alone and hide the things.
good.
The camouflage clothes are naturally considered important luggage, especially the better and worse ones. If you leave them behind, it will be easier for people to figure out your way around, so they are packed and taken away together.
"Captain Lin, where are we going to stay tonight?" Zhu Sanbao felt that the hotel just now was okay! Why not stay there?
"Come with me!" Lin Mo didn't say much. He took a few people with him and first went to buy some peanuts, melon seeds, rice candies, dried meat and so on, and then went to make a small jar of rice wine.
Then I went to buy four reed mats, two sets of slightly larger ramie pattern tents, four hard pillows made of split bamboo tubes, and four small blankets, which are about the size of a coat when unfolded, which is probably barely enough to cover them.
Live in the upper body.
As he walked through the streets and alleys, thinking about some of the scenes he had seen in the past few days, Zhu Sanbao had an ominous premonition and guess.
"Captain Lin, you don't want to drag us to build pavements on the street, do you?" Even though he thought it was a bit outrageous, Zhu Sanbao couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it possible?" Lin Mo asked back, seeing that he was speechless, and then said: "Our team of four has been exposed twice today. Basic information such as the number of people should not be unclear to the opponent.
As for hotels, which are key hotels, four people live together. If four people check in today, they are the main suspects. Two or two are about the same. If three or one of them are separated, they are not safe. They are not safe if they are all separated.
So we might as well build bunks on the ground, sleep on the streets, and let them compete with hotels. Don’t feel embarrassed. This is a civilian area. When the time comes, people will probably be sleeping everywhere."
After Zhu Sanbao heard this, he glanced around and found that there were indeed many scattered people sitting outside the door on bamboo mats and reed mats. Some even put up mosquito nets, obviously preparing to sleep outside.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Sanbao also gave up his thoughts of rejection. If others can sleep, what can't he do?
"It can't be said that it's more comfortable outside than inside the room!" Zhu Sanbao said cheerfully after thinking about this.
After walking for a while, Lin Mo finally found a suitable target. On a relatively spacious bluestone road, many young and middle-aged people were sitting in groups here and there. Lin Mo found a spot and immediately got together.
"Brothers, is it cool enough here?" Lin Mo passed around the smoke and then asked with a smile.
"Where is it? You're so angry!" an older man asked warily.
"...Over there..." Lin Mo pointed to the direction he came from and said, "Where I live, there are a bunch of houses next to each other, and there is no wind. It is really unbearably hot at night."
"Where's the Landlord?" The man asked back, without waiting for an answer, he said, "You just came here not long ago, right? The Landlord is a money-hungry master. He wants to demolish his ancestral home and build dozens more rooms for rent. Where is that?"
