Chapter 524 Sect Leader Discussing Business = Discussing Fate
Li Guangzong said with a bitter face: "I didn't waste money. Most of it was returned to Lugang Township to build an airport, and a small part was used to bribe Tianjin Wei Yang Yide and Xuantianzong to reinvest and march into Ao Island."

In fact, not only that, but some of them supported the backwater army and built secret military bases in various places outside the customs, so as to prepare for a rainy day 24 years later.

Zhao Chuanxin has nothing to say.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Guangzong asked instead: "By the way, master, what about the 5000 million US dollars you earned? Xuantianzong plans to start a business in Australia Island, and urgently needs a lot of money."

"Money? It's spent."

Li Guangzong was dumbfounded: "All the 5000 million US dollars have been spent?"

Zhao Chuanxin lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Correct Liao, it is 1.67 million plus 750 million plus 200 million."

"Dollar?"

"Correct."

"It's all spent?"

"Uh..." Zhao Chuanxin nodded embarrassedly: "Yes."

"Zhuo..." Li Guangzong couldn't hold back.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were a lot of prodigal sons of banner people.

But it is not as exaggerated as Zhao Chuanxin.

In this era, mansions, beauties, yachts, cars, BMWs, brothels, gambling, opium... No matter how prodigal you are, it is unimaginable to spend 1.7 million US dollars.

After all, there are only so many substances, unless the same thing is purchased repeatedly.

Even if you like antique treasures, $1.7 million is more than enough to clear a region's stockpile.

This amount, even the most imaginative prodigal son, doesn't know how to spend it?

Li Guangzong put his idea on Zhao Chuanxin a long time ago, but it failed.

Zhao Chuanxin came to his senses: "The opening? What kind of opening? Gambling?"

Ao Island is famous for this, and now it is quite large.

Li Guangzong said bitterly: "Yes, listen to my sophistry first...listen to my explanation."

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's unfriendly expression, Li Guangzong quickly explained: "I know you don't like this kind of heresy, but we have a bottom line. Our venue does not allow lending, ghosts and snakes are not allowed to haunt, and gambling and consumption are restricted. The cleanest place."

Zhao Chuanxin's expression softened a little, but he still said, "You know, I have nothing to do with gambling and drugs."

Li Guangzong sighed: "This is the fastest way to enter the island of Ao. When we take it back one day, why don't we leave it to us? Now it can only be regarded as a labor pain, and if you can't bear it, you will make a mess. Besides, I I have spent money to buy a license plate, and I have to launch it when the arrow is on the string.”

Zhao Chuanxin is extremely disgusted with this. How many people have lost their homes because of this?

He frowned: "Can you ensure that the managers in the field stick to the bottom line?"

Li Guangzong's face flashed sternly: "If you are disobedient, change someone, if you are disobedient again, kill!"

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin feel relieved.

Zheng Guohua came over: "Master, let's eat first, the banquet is ready."

After hearing Li Guangzong say that he had no money, Zhao Chuanxin lost a lot of interest: "Only one meal tonight, Uncle Zheng, I didn't blame you. Our Xuantianzong can't be extravagant and wasteful. This is extremely shameful."

"..." Zheng Guohua: "This meal is paid out of my own pocket."

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin's sullen face relaxed: "Then I didn't say anything."

Zheng Guohua: "..."

After entering Xuantianzong's compound, Zhao Chuanxin pointed and criticized: "Look, turn on so many lights at night, isn't the electricity bill free?"

"Look at this fountain. It keeps running day and night. Don't tell me that this is a water pipe, or I will kill you."

A faucet is a faucet, and it costs money.

"The lion at the door can be a size smaller, and it is more realistic to hang two door gods."

Everyone was dumbfounded by his blunt words.

Isn't the leader making a lot of money outside?

Sure enough, the richer people are, the more stingy they are.

Zhao Chuanxin saw Li Zhitao holding his coat again, dragging the hem to the ground, and immediately became furious: "Big Vat Tao, I don't have a few sets of clothes in total. If you mess it up, I won't kill you."

Li Zhitao sneered: "Sect Leader, it's all right, if it breaks, I'll make one for you."

Don't look at Li Guangzong has no money, but the wages of the employees have never fallen.

Whether it is Zheng Guohua or Li Zhitao, both earn a lot of money, and they are well-suited for the middle class on Hong Kong Island.

During the banquet, Zhao Chuanxin did not raise his glass, and even drank a cup of tea without even drinking any wine.

He ate very quickly, not as much as before. Seeing that the atmosphere of the crowd being scolded by him was a little low, he put down his chopsticks and said, "You guys eat first, Guangzong will follow me."

As soon as the two of them left, the restaurant was cleared after the rain, and the sound of talking and laughing suddenly shook the rubble.

Came to the head office prepared for Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Recently, Xuantianzong is short of money?"

Li Guangzong nodded cautiously: "The construction of Lugang Town is a bottomless pit. The difficulty of building the airport mentioned by the head is much higher than that of ordinary roads."

"Okay, let me think of a way." Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "What's the matter with the Japanese?"

Li Guangzong's memory is unsurpassed, but Benjamin Goldberg is not as strong as him in terms of memory, and everything is in his head.

He said: "Naoko Yuka's intelligence team has inquired about the news that Japan has established a light cavalry skeleton combat team to target our insurance team in Lugang Town. I think it is also aimed at you. There are only 50 people, all of them are hundreds of people. War veterans are well-equipped and well-trained, and their pensions are as generous as the insurance team. Recently, when our Xuantianzong workers were loading and unloading goods, they often found Japanese ships smuggling arms to Ao Island. I was worried that they were targeting us Xuantianzong came, and later found out that this matter is related to Sun Gongwu."

Zhao Chuanxin listened carefully.

He didn't take the light cavalry skeleton combat team seriously. There is no concept of special forces in the world now, and the Japanese should not be able to make too much trouble.

It's just that he is still very weak at the moment, so he has to guard against it.

People who have no experience think that one person with extraordinary combat power can solve all the troubles, but it is not the case.

When a person, or many people, try their best to assassinate a person, no matter how capable the person is, the probability of being killed is very high.

New York police detective Charles Baker has already taught Zhao Chuanxin a lesson.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "What happened to Sun Gongwu?"

Li Guangzong said lightly: "Rebellion."

Zhao Chuanxin understood.

He continued to ask: "What about He Qi, and what is the relationship with Sun Gongwu?"

"The two met when they were studying in Hong Kong Island. Later, He Qi supported Sun Gongwu's rebellion work."

Zhao Chuanxin needs to clarify various relationships.

It stands to reason that he doesn't need to give face to anyone.

The same is true.

I chatted with Li Guangzong for two hours, but Li Guangzong didn't even read the files.

From the establishment of the French consulate in Harbin, to the Shandong Huade Mining Company's survey and identification of five mining regulations in Shandong signed by China and Germany, to the opening of the first railway in Zhejiang, to the Qing court's request for the establishment of a parliament, the Qing court approved it. The contract of the Rome International Agricultural Association, the anti-Japanese incident in Beipu, Wanwan...

His narration can be described as all-encompassing, but it is not messy. There are many clues in it, connecting everything together.

Historically, many names are difficult to remember, especially those of foreigners.

But as long as there are clues, these names can be related to each other.

This is living history.

The well-known names in the 21st century may not be obvious now, or they may have become popular.

Li Guangzong sorted it out for Zhao Chuanxin, and finally said: "Speaking of minerals, in recent days, an incident happened in Shanxi..."

He talked about the mine protection movement again: "These people think you are rich, and the parade calls on you to pay to take back the mining rights from the British Fu."

So, the world is big and the world is small.

It was Zhao Chuanxin who killed Henry Elliott, the butler of the Marquis of Lawner, the major shareholder of British Fortune, and now he has a relationship with British Fortune.

Zhao Chuanxin curled his lips: "Moral kidnapping? You have to pay for patriotism? You can't get used to their problem. I hate moral kidnapping and threats the most."

However, Li Guangzong said: "In 1871, a German guy named Li Xihuofen went into Shanxi for surveying and wrote a survey report, claiming that there were coal reserves that could not be used up in 2000 years. Regardless of what he said It’s true, but it’s true that there are mines in Shanxi. Although it’s a bit expensive, it’s profitable there, and you’ve said before, mastering the importance of resources.”

Zhao Chuanxin stretched his neck: "I believe it is profitable. The price of coal is one day. But it is impossible for me to spend 1000 million taels of silver to be taken advantage of. Investigate British Fu, who is theirs in China Be smart, find a chance for me to visit, and I will make an offer they can't refuse."

Li Guangzong couldn't help laughing.

Others talk about business and money, and the boss talks about business and fate.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the time, and when he saw the watch, he suddenly thought of the gift he brought back to Li Guangzong, so he handed him a box: "The latest watch."

Wristwatches are just emerging and are even rarer than pocket watches.

Li Guangzong had noticed the Cartier pilot on Zhao Chuanxin's wrist a long time ago, and was overjoyed when he saw it.

Wrist watches have more badges than pocket watches. Before seeing Governor Luard wearing one, he secretly admired it for a long time.

"Thank you sir."

Zhao Chuanxin got up: "I'm going to sleep, you can arrange to transport the weapons and ammunition on the Terrance back to Lugang Town. Tell my brother that not a single bullet can be leaked, and all these weapons must be strictly recorded. It's just for training right now."

Zhao Chuanxin walked out of the office and bumped into a soft body.

Zhao Chuanxin cursed and said, "Don't you have fucking eyes when you walk?"

Li Zining raised her head. Although she is beautiful, her lips are thin and her cheekbones are well-shaped. Hearing this, she leaned against the wall: "My bone is broken, it was broken by you."

Seeing that it was her, Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed: "It turned out to be you, a cheap brat, but now you've changed your career, right?"

Li Zining is Xuantianzong's floral paper fan.

The term flower paper fan is the first to come up, and it is actually public relations.

This woman has a lot of friends on Hong Kong Island.

With the platform of Xuantianzong, she even used it as a springboard, and even got on the line in the mainland to communicate with local officials in Guangdong Province.

When Zhao Chuanxin returned to China, Zheng Guohua hosted a banquet, and she would naturally be present.

Li Zining was furious: "You're the scumbag!"

As he said that, he raised his leg and wanted to kick Zhao Chuanxin's calf.

Still so capricious.

Zhao Chuanxin dodged easily, punching her in the chest.

It's like hitting cotton.

Li Zining's face was pale in pain, showing pain, but she gritted her teeth, and Zhao Chuanxin saw a trace of happiness in her eyes.

Zhao Chuanxin untied the belt of this cheap brat, held it in his palm, and slapped her thick flesh, and the sound was distorted when she was slapped.

Zhao Chuanxin put on his belt, hummed happily and left.

Li Zining: "..."

Her body was in burning pain, but she rolled her eyes and revealed a creepy smile.

　I want to do more, but the adjustment of my schedule these days makes me want to die.I lay down and counted sheep with my eyes closed at twelve o'clock, and became more energetic after counting for three hours until dawn.

　　I don't know what to do today, I can imagine what it will be like during the day.

　　The more I can't sleep, the angrier I get, the more awake I become.
