Shi Zhijian was driving a car, and sitting in the passenger seat was private lawyer Hu Juncai, holding a briefcase with both hands.
For Shi Zhijian, opening Alibaba Commercial Bank was just a casual thing, but since it was going to be done, it had to be done in a formal way, so the legal procedures and so on had to be completed.
But now is the Chinese New Year. Although the British do not have this tradition of celebrating the New Year, there are many Chinese civil servants in many government departments.
These civil servants either changed shifts or were on vacation, so Shi Zhijian and Hu Juncai ran around for a whole day before completing some procedures. Only a few wrong seals were not stamped, and they had to wait until the New Year holiday was over.
In Shi Zhijian's view, Hutchison's monopoly on the seafood market has been broken bit by bit. At least with the hostage of Chen Zhichao, Lei Luo, Lai Hao and others, even if Hutchison's gang has more than 10,000 people, they would not dare to mess around.
.
Then the only thing Hutchison can do is to find a place to vent.
The boss of Hutchison, Pulsatilla, is known as the "Emperor of Hutchison". If such a big thing happens this time, he must give an explanation to the gang. He can't just spit out the fat in his mouth for no reason.
If he doesn't do something, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Jianghu people have the wildest temperament.
And there are not many subordinates who are eyeing the Pulsatilla's dragon-headed throne.
I made a big mistake. If I can't give a perfect answer, how can I convince others with my virtue in the future?
Today's arena is no longer what it used to be. It's impossible to conquer so many people by sheer force and brute force, let alone a gang of 30,000 people?!
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian smiled and said to Hu Juncai, who was sitting next to him in the passenger seat: "Do you have a cigarette? Let's have a cigarette!"
Hu Juncai said hurriedly: "Mr. Shi, do you want to smoke?"
He hurriedly took out cigarettes from his pocket. First he took out a box of cheap Double Happiness from the left and stuffed it in. Then he took out a box of medium-grade Lucky Strike from the right pocket and put it in again. Finally he took out a box from his trouser pocket.
Sanwu, then he took a breath, opened the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and stuffed it into Shi Zhijian's mouth.
Shi Zhijian could see clearly, "Do you usually pack so many cigarettes?"
"It wasn't before, but it is like this now." Hu Juncai chuckled, and clumsily took out a match to help Shi Zhijian light the cigarette he was holding, then put out the fire, opened the car window and threw it out.
"The double happiness on my left side is for meeting ordinary people. The good fortune is for meeting average people. Needless to say, the three and five are specially prepared for high-ranking people like you, Mr. Shi." Hu Juncai bared his teeth with a grin on his face.
Flattery.
"Yes, you have learned a lot about social communication." Shi Zhijian puffed out smoke and praised.
Hu Juncai immediately beamed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shi, for the compliment. I'm still learning humbly."
"Then you betrayed me and told my sister that I was a profiteer. What kind of knowledge is this?"
"Ah?" Hu Juncai was shocked, "Mr. Shi, you must have misunderstood. I have never said this."
"Really?" Shi Zhijian turned his head and looked at him sideways.
Under Shi Zhijian's sharp gaze, Hu Juncai immediately raised his hands and surrendered, "I confess, I only said it once!"
"once?"
"Yes, Sister Yufeng forced me to tell me what I think of you."
"What did you say?"
"I said you are great." Hu Juncai swallowed and looked at Shi Zhijian carefully.
"to be honest!"
"I said you are very treacherous!" Hu Juncai accepted his fate, "You like to treat people like monkeys!"
"Huh?" Shi Zhijian glanced at him, "You have very good observation skills!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Shi. In fact, I have many advantages."
"Really? Then I will explore it slowly in the future."
While Shi Zhijian was talking, he suddenly stopped the car and said, "Juncai, do you think tonight is strange?"
"What's weird?" Shi Zhijian pursed his lips, "During the Chinese New Year, many places are very lively, but here it's very deserted."
Hu Juncai looked around and saw that the street was indeed deserted. Except for those selling Xirong with a load, there was a man selling sugar-fried chestnuts on the roadside. There was also a drunkard urinating drunkenly in the corner. The whole street was deserted.
Eerie silence.
"Juncai!"
"Well?"
"Your specialty package doesn't include escaping?"
"Mr. Shi, what do you mean by this?" Hu Juncai looked towards Shi Zhijian, only to see Shi Zhijian looking ahead.
Hu Juncai also hurriedly looked forward, and saw several figures appearing on the opposite side in the hazy night. The one at the head, with a strong back and waist, was bare-chested and wearing a pair of homespun trousers, but it seemed as if he was deliberately showing off.
Wearing a windbreaker, his long hair was messy and dancing in the night wind. The most exaggerated thing about him was that he had a sheathed katana on his shoulder.
Hu Juncai seemed to understand something. He swallowed hard and said to Shi Zhijian: "Drive, let's hit him."
Shi Zhijian smiled bitterly, "Do you think I don't want to? I took you running all day today and the car ran out of gas."
Hu Juncai was stunned, "You didn't stop on purpose. Was the car out of gas?"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "Guess right."
Hu Juncai felt like he was about to die, "Mr. Shi, you can't do this. I'm still young and I'm not married yet - who is this person?"
"You don't know it after seeing it. Carrying a knife and leading men and horses are not for giving gifts during the Chinese New Year."
Hu Juncai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mr. Shi, now is not the time to joke."
"Are you crying if you're not joking?" Shi Zhijian said and opened the car door.
"what are you up to?"
"Of course it's a negotiation. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll take the opportunity to run away. Don't tell me that you have to sit still in the car. Many people have been doused with kerosene and burned alive in the car!"
Hu Juncai was startled and jumped out of the car like a rabbit.
"Calm down!" Shi Zhijian comforted him, "Pretend you don't care about anything so that the other party can't see your true identity."
Hu Juncai's face turned pale, "I think so too, but my calves don't obey me."
"Then smoke a cigarette and calm down." Shi Zhijian said, taking a deep puff of the cigarette, pointing at the man with a katana sword in front of him, and the person behind him, exhaling a circle of smoke, with a calm posture.
"Is it Shi Zhijian?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"Hutchison, Wan Chai big fly!"
"Da Fei? You and I have never met each other. What did you stop me from doing?"
"Kill you!"
"You and I have a grudge?"
"No grudge."
"Have a grudge?"
"No complaints."
"Since there is no grudge, why do you want to kill me?"
"For our club." Da Fei said viciously, "You know what good things you do!"
"I'm not sure, please give me some advice."
"That Indian ghost has been caught by us and he confessed everything."
"Really? What did he confess to?"
Just as Da Fei was about to answer, his subordinate said: "Brother Da Fei, why do I feel like he is stalling for time?"
Da Fei slapped him up and whipped his subordinates around, "Push to the street! Do you even need to say that? I've seen it already!"
