Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 236 Yes, you know how to fight each other!

It’s a new day, it’s noon.

Going to Shanghai Hongkou East Broadway Road, Wang Shouliang inspected the Sihai Escort Bureau branch compound and the Pearl River Department Store in the downtown area before returning to the Wang Mansion.

This area is not very far from the Bund, and there is no shortage of various Western-style hotels, Chinese-style restaurants, foreign banks, etc. in the surrounding area. The prince's mansion with its own large mansion can be considered a large mansion in the busy city.

To the north of the Prince's Mansion, separated by a wall, is the Sanjin Courtyard. It is a newly built two-story reinforced cement concrete building with its own office building, dormitory building, canteen, playground, shooting range and other buildings. It is similar to the township government compound after the 21s. .

This is the Shanghai branch of the Sihai Escort Bureau. In the future, the armed escort and escort number 150 will live and eat in this Sanjinyuan agency compound.

When Wang Shouliang got off his bicycle and saw the guard at the door, he said, "Have the invitations been sent out? How are the lunch preparations?"

The guard instinctively saluted and said hello, and then reported, "Inform the boss, all the famous Qing Gang bosses have posted, and the team of chefs who have been invited here are preparing lunch."

"We can have a banquet at any time."

Wang Shouliang nodded, handed the bicycle to a guard, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was 11:10 a.m., which was not too early before he would entertain local snakes.

Of course, it was only 1902 at this stage, and among the three tycoons who would become famous in the future, not to mention Huang Quanrong, who had only joined the French Concession Patrol Room a few years ago and was still working through his qualifications, Lu Yuesheng, who started out as a fruit seller, was only 14 years old...

Until 12 o'clock, some cold dishes were served one by one, as well as white wine, rice wine, etc. Looking at the young and middle-aged people in long gowns or waistcoats sitting at five large tables, Wang Shouliang smiled and raised a small bowl of wine, "Everyone, From today on, our Sihai Escort Bureau and Zhujiang Trading Company have officially moved into Shanghai Beach."

"cheers!"

But Wang Shouliang is not exaggerating. The current Shihai and Nanhai with a displacement of 150 tons cost million taels, and the five Zhenyuan-class ships each cost about million taels. The destroyers and cruisers sunk in the Kumejima Sea battle, Then last month, Shen...

But those who saw some armored ships yesterday suddenly felt that the rumors were not groundless.

If you are invited to the prince's mansion for dinner, you must give him face.

"I hope I can have a happy cooperation with you all in the future and make a fortune together. Cheers."

It's just that many people feel that the gossip about the Sihai Escort Bureau is too scattered and outrageous, and it is impossible for people to believe that it is true.

Wang Shouliang raised the small bowl, drank all the wine, and said with a smile, "Because I have money, from April last year to June this year, I gave Yan Lun two to thirty million taels of silver."

The Zhujiang series of enterprises have long been one of the most popular national enterprise business cards at this stage. As for the various rumors about the Sihai Escort Agency, everyone has heard a lot.

"I wish Mr. Wang great wealth and prosperity!"

"So as long as you give me face and notify me of good news in a timely manner, I won't mind helping you make a fortune together."

It wasn't until the arrival of several large warships yesterday and the energetic young men in blue uniforms filling the yard that a group of local gangsters were stunned and felt that the rumors were too outrageous...

I still don’t know where the last Yuan Xiaojun is.

So, why did Wang Shouliang have a good relationship with Yalun Guiguo, and why did the public concession, which Yin Lun was in charge of, allow Wang Shouliang's subordinates to carry guns and ride bicycles openly? ?

Yes, why? !

As soon as he said that he would spend 20 to 30 million taels of silver in a year, people immediately screamed in exclamation.

No matter what everyone's true thoughts are, there are all kinds of congratulations, and each one is better than the last.

The people he hosted for the banquet today were basically the Li generation and the senior generation.

Not to mention that it is too far away, the first batch of Zhujiang bicycles were shipped to Shanghai at the end of May, and some were bought at the scene. Others, such as Zhujiang instant noodles, briquettes, and briquette stoves, were all popular goodies.

and active duty.

"In the future, if you encounter our spies from all over the world, please forgive me for any intrusion. Of course, if you have any news or intelligence, please pass it on to me in time."

Still so close to Yalun Gui Lao.

…………

Now Mr. Wang’s biggest problem is Ying Lun.

Wang Shouliang walked out of the villa and stood in the garden to let the maids bring tea and water. Rice wine and rice wine, which he was addicted to, were brought directly to him.

"In addition to the daily business products, I also plan to set up a secret investigation force, mainly responsible for collecting information to facilitate business wars."

Although this is Wang Shouliang's first time in Shanghai, the battle array he came to yesterday was really too big. There was a Sihai with a displacement of 15,000 tons, and two destroyers Taishan and Huangshan. It's ridiculous to just bring it with you when you go out. The pomp of the fleet.

A group of gangsters looked at the maids or chefs walking around the wine tables, as well as the uniformed soldiers who were more energetic than any Chinese soldiers they had seen before, patrolling and guarding around the villa.

Just the warships, firearms, artillery, etc. are almost 3000 million taels.

Anyone with weight knows that the man named Wang has brought 300 uniformed men with long and short guns on their backs, and they all seem to be elites who have seen blood.

After Wang Shouliang drank the wine, he continued to laugh and said, "I came to Shanghai to bring everyone together to make a fortune."

On the second day after arriving in Shanghai, he invited a group of local snakes to eat and drink, planning to build an intelligence system. The location was the garden of his prince's mansion.

Tables were set up like flowing mats, just waiting for guests to arrive.

When the maid filled the second small bowl of wine, Mr. Wang raised his glass and laughed, "To put it bluntly, I am very rich. Why do you think I have such a good relationship with Yalun Ghost?"

Under the seemingly teasing words, a group of Shanghutan bosses looked at each other. In fact, they had actually heard of or seen the products produced by the Pearl River series companies.

Wang Shouliang went back to the living room to have a cup of tea. At 11:30, the invited gangster brothers came to visit with gifts.

As long as such local snakes are willing to be his spies, Wang Shouliang doesn't mind letting them become one of his banknote counterfeiters.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Shanghai Beach was a little bit too stormy. Not only were the various forces within China turbulent here, the light and shadow were intertwined, but the global powers also dumped a large number of spies and spies here.

Maybe, a little bit, it might be true? !

Anyway, a long time ago, there were rumors in the world that there was a bodyguard agency from eastern Guangdong, which had an unreasonable fight with the island nation's fleet at sea and sank a number of warships of the island nation's navy? Did that still defeat the Japanese fleet during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War?

Isn't this nonsense? !

"My surname is Wang, and I will definitely not let everyone suffer."

He recruited and trained soldiers, opened factories and businesses, and provided pensions on the battlefield. He did a lot of things this year, and the wealth he spent was 5000 million taels of silver.

So many counterfeit banknotes have flowed into the market, which means that transportation consulting in this era is extremely underdeveloped. For example, a shipping trip from Shanghai to London may take half a year.

Otherwise, the counterfeit banknote case would have been exposed long ago.

Even so, it is estimated that some people have discovered counterfeit banknotes, but due to traffic problems, they have not been able to find out the source in time.

Thanks to Wang Shouliang at this stage, in-demand commodities such as instant noodles, clothing, bicycles, sugar, lighters, etc. can hit the market, and money can be recovered from the market. It will be easier to launder money in the future.

Amidst all kinds of chaotic sounds, Wang Shouliang motioned to the maid to pour him wine, while he himself looked at the gangster brothers who were making a mess with a smile on his face.

Wang Shouliang wanted to announce in a high-profile manner that he, the super diamond king Laowu who looked like he was made of gold, was here.

If you hang out with him, you won't have to worry about getting rich! !

The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit. The war launched by the great powers is nothing more than a word of profit.

At this moment, a four-star escort who was guarding the gate quickly ran in. With a calm expression on his face, he came over with a frown and saluted, "Report to the boss, there are a group of island guys coming outside, they seem to want to cause trouble."

"On the surface, it seems that they are not carrying guns, at least no long guns. Many of them are in island samurai uniforms, wearing clogs and samurai swords."

Wang Shouliang was stunned, and then said calmly, "The first senior bodyguard division is ready to greet us."

Of the 300 people he brought this time, the real combat department consisted of two senior escort divisions with 240 people, and the other 60 agents and escorts were all from the intelligence team.

Responsible for the preparation and operation of various intelligence organizations.

After he left, there was only a senior escort department left here. The intelligence department of 30 people stayed in Shanghai to develop hidden members, and the other 30 people left Shanghai and spread to the surrounding areas.

The four-star escort nodded quickly, grabbed a whistle and blew it.

In just a few minutes, not only the 30 people guarding the prince's residence, but also armed men gathered on the roadside outside the residence, and groups of figures on bicycles quickly assembled and came from the branch.

In less than ten minutes, a combat group of 150 people each held a gun and formed a defensive battle formation to guard the neighborhood outside the prince's mansion.

Wang Shouliang also went out to see the situation, including some gangsters from the Youth Gang.

East Broadway Road outside the Prince's Mansion is a road extending from southwest to northeast. At this moment, in the northeast, groups of Japanese young men wearing black and white samurai uniforms, carrying samurai swords, and plasters on their heads were striding upright and making noises. All kinds of Japanese are spoken, and they are coming here aggressively.

The frontmost one is only about fifty meters away from the entrance of the prince's mansion.

Mr. Wang glanced at it for a few times, then laughed and said, "Line up and fire!"

What's there to talk about with the Japanese? Do you think this was the period when the Japanese invaded Qingdao? He thought that his king was always an honest man.

And this group of tough men who have been on the battlefield where the Black Flag Army died and fought guerrillas are also very elite.

When the team originally standing on the roadside on guard heard a certain whistle, 36 people from the First Intermediate Bodyguard Division quickly held Lee's long rifles in both hands and stood or squatted to form three lines of fire. Row.

In a group of "Japanese warrior uniforms", they were a little confused, stopped, and doubtful...

Another Japanese leader stopped and shouted loudly in late Qing Dynasty Mandarin, "The scum of the Sihai Escort Bureau and the shame of the martial arts world, do you dare to have a fair fight with us?!"

His words were loud.

What responded to him and his companions was the bang bang bang bang of Li's long rifle! !

The 36-person first intermediate escort department, 36 guns and 360 rounds of ammunition were basically all used up, leaving more than fifty Japanese corpses on the ground, and the guards and escorts quickly loaded the bullets.

Although there are no living enemies within sight.

However, it has long been everyone's basic practice to empty the magazine and quickly reload to restore combat effectiveness.

Only Wang Shouliang looked at his men, one after another, who still had to operate the Li's long rifle ten times to fully fill the magazine, and felt a little bit grumpy in his heart.

This batch of Ma's quick guns should have been eliminated long ago.

It's just that Wang Shouliang is still not sure. What should he buy next time? Is it an upgraded version of the Lee's long rifle that can be filled with five bullets at a time after emptying ten bullets?

Or buy Mauser M1898? ?

There is also a relatively silent question. At this stage, the European and American powers, except France, still use round-head bullets across the board.

Even the Mauser M1898, it was not until 1905 that the entire line was equipped with pointed bullets, round heads and pointed bullets. How should I say? Pointed bullets are twice as powerful or more lethal.

Wang Shouliang's thoughts wandered for a few seconds, then waved his hand, "Continue to be vigilant."

When he reached the gatekeeper, he said to the guard, "Call the Hongkou police station and ask them to send someone to collect the body and wash it out."

The guard saluted and took the order, then ran back to make a phone call.

Mr. Wang smiled and waved to a group of Green Gang buddies who were watching the fun, "Let's go back and continue eating and drinking. Don't let a group of Japanese invaders ruin your taste."

Brother gangsters, "..."

They are also people who have seen countless scenes of monsters and monsters. They provoke the Japanese martial arts community at every turn and despise the Chinese martial arts community, including the strongman with a bear and the Western boxing champion who set up a ring to provoke the Chinese.

Who hasn’t seen it yet?

However, looking at the corpses piled on the ground outside, and the cold and calm reactions of the escorts and escorts from the Four Seas Escort Agency...

Everyone is numb.

After a while, Wang Shouliang returned to the chief seat in the garden and raised the small bowl again and said, "The dead Japs are the good Japs. Come on, let's all drink to the corpses outside!"

"Last year, I had a fight on Kumejima. Six hundred of my brothers died and 200 were disabled. The pensions and bonuses I received were millions of taels of silver."

"These devils are so abominable!"

Many gangster brothers looked at each other again. After a few dozen seconds, a rational brother raised his bowl and said, "Cheers, Mr. Wang is mighty!"

Is this the God of Wealth? No wonder there are rumors in the world that the death squads under shopkeeper Wang Da are fierce and brave, one after another.

A fight at sea? Yes, you know how to fight each other!

Do you call a group fight of that scale a mutual beating?

The pension will be worth several million taels of silver in one round. Who dares to risk their lives? In these troubled times, how many people are stabbing people with knives just for a few meals!

When many elders put cigarettes in their mouths and shivered with matches to light the fire, Mr. Wang suddenly realized, clapped his hands, and the two maids each grabbed a Zhujiang kerosene lighter and walked over to light the cigarettes for many elders.

Not to mention, every time you rub it, it will spark a fire. The smell of kerosene will spread a little. Looking at the steady flame of the lighter, many elders will be stunned.

What is this? It feels much more advanced than my own matches!

………………

Some time later, many people were still talking, laughing, eating and drinking in the Prince's Mansion on East Broadway Road, more than fifty meters away from the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

When a group of Chinese policemen from the Hongkou Police Station, led by several policemen on bicycles, arrived near a group of corpses, they saw that the Japanese had attracted a lot of blowflies...

The leaders of the team looked at each other a little bit.
