Chapter 1148 Big Business

The male protagonist Wei Ruolai's refusal did not surprise Suning. Instead, it made Suning convinced that this Jiangxi native was no ordinary person, otherwise he would not have been so persistent in wanting to join the central bank.

After leaving Qibao Street, Suning did not return to Huafan Hotel. Instead, he asked the driver to drive directly to the Central Police Station in the French Concession, because there was a big business here that Suning had set his sights on.

Su Ning, who arrived at the French Concession Central Police Station, went straight to the inspector there and said, "Hello, Inspector Charles! I'm Su Ning, the owner of Su's Foreign Company. This is my business card."

Inspector Charles was delighted when he received the business card. He knew this was a big deal. "Hello, Mr. Su! The recent Shenbao has been full of news about your Su's Trading Company. I didn't expect you to come to our Central Police Station in person. How can I help you?"

"I have two requests for a favor, Inspector Charles. First, I heard your police station has apprehended twelve special agents. You can name a price and sell them all to our Su's Trading Company. Second, Inspector, could you please help me find a private villa in the French Concession? I'm planning to buy one there to live in."

"The villa matter is easy to talk about! But those twelve special personnel are members of the Bu Party. Could it be that Mr. Su, you have any connection with the Bu Party members in China?"

"No! No! No! I'm just an ordinary American businessman. The reason I want to take over these twelve people is because I see the benefits involved."

However, Inspector Charles, with a shrewd face, looked at Su Ning in confusion and asked, "Oh? Profits? But why do I only see trouble?"

However, Suning directly asked Charles, "Inspector Charles, do you know anything about tungsten ore?"

Although this question left Inspector Charles very confused, he still responded patiently, "Of course! This is a very important mineral resource. I heard that there are huge reserves in the Gannan area of Jiangxi."

"That's right! I'm interested in the tungsten ore in southern Jiangxi, and I'm planning to make a fortune with these twelve people."

Sure enough, after hearing Su Ning's explanation, Inspector Charles finally showed interest. "Mr. Su, how are you going to make money with these twelve people?"

"Well! It's very simple! The wholesale price and the retail price are naturally different. Besides, our Su's Trading Company also wants to use this opportunity to expand its customer base."

"No problem! Ten large yellow croakers and a Santana sedan, and you can take all twelve of them away."

"make a deal."

"Mr. Su, our French ambassador to China is about to return home, and he happens to have a private house for sale."

"I'd like to invite you, the Ambassador, and Inspector Charles, to dine at the Huafan Hotel tonight at 6:30. I wonder if I have the honor?"

"No problem! I will definitely invite the ambassador to come tonight at 6:30."

Then Su Ning signaled to the secretary beside him to hand over ten large yellow croakers. "Here are ten large yellow croakers. The Santana sedan will be delivered to the French Concession within an hour."

"OK! It's really a pleasure to do business with you, Mr. Su. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

"There will definitely be a chance."

Then Suning took away the twelve down-and-out members of the Bu Party. Of course, he knew that there must be some with weak wills among them, but Suning knew that this was not something he needed to consider at all.

I believe that Xu Nuo and the heroine Shen Jinzhen have already learned the news. After all, they have been eager to rescue these twelve people, and they will definitely run to Huafan Hotel to find me to negotiate as soon as possible.

By then, he could make a fortune. As for tungsten ore, it was not what Suning valued the most. It was just an excuse for Suning to fool Charles.

……

Sure enough, just after Suning used a large truck to take away twelve people, Lin Qiaosong of the Shanghai Detective Team and Xu Nuo, the leader of the Bu Party, learned of this information, and both sides rushed towards the Huafan Hotel frantically.

However, Suning caught everyone off guard and arranged for personnel to drive a large truck to take the twelve people away. They then sent the twelve people out of Shanghai and hid them secretly.

The heroine Shen Jinzhen ran to the clothing store breathlessly, looked at Xu Nuo and reported, "Old Xu, something terrible has happened. Twelve of our comrades have been taken away."

Xu Nuo also looked at Shen Jinzhen in disbelief and asked, "Who is it? Is the detective team taking action?"

"It's not the detective team! It's the Su's Trading Company, which recently entered Shanghai. And it was Su Ning, the owner of the Su's Trading Company, who went there personally."

"what?"

"Old Xu, we should immediately find a way to contact Su's Foreign Trade Company and find out what their purpose is in doing this."

"That makes sense! But the Huafan Hotel is definitely under the control of the detective team now. It may be a bit troublesome for us to contact Su's Foreign Company smoothly."

"Not necessarily! The Su's Foreign Trade Company's 'trade fair' will end in a few days, so my sister-in-law and I can take the opportunity to visit the 'trade fair' and try it out."

"Alright! But remember to act within your means and don't act rashly. You should know that the background of this Su's foreign company is very mysterious. Recently, it has been supplying arms to the Yan, Feng, and Li factions."

"I understand! I won't be reckless this time."

As soon as Suning's Santana stopped at the door of Huafan Hotel, Lin Qiaosong, the captain of the Shanghai Detective Team, rushed up with his men. However, many bodyguards suddenly appeared from all directions and controlled the members of the detective team.

Lin Qiaosong, who was restrained by the bodyguards, quickly and aggrievedly explained, "Mr. Su, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! I'm Lin Qiaosong, captain of the Shanghai Detective Team. I'm not a criminal who wants to attack you."

Su Ning looked at Lin Qiaosong with disdain and shook his head, "Lin Qiaosong? I don't know him."

"Mr. Su, I heard that you went to the French Concession today and took away twelve members of the Bolshevik Party. Please hand these twelve people over to our Shanghai Beach Detective Team. Our detective team will definitely be grateful to Su's Trading Company and Mr. Su for this kindness."

"Who do you think you are! Does your gratitude matter?"

"I……"

"Remember! I don't care who you are or what your identity is. Don't bother me in the future, or I'll make you regret being born into this world."

"..."

Then Suning no longer paid any attention to Lin Qiaosong, the mad dog, and walked directly into the Huafan Hotel in front of him as if no one was around. This made Lin Qiaosong and others so angry that their eyes were bloodshot.

It was not until Suning safely walked into the Huafan Hotel that the bodyguards, who were on high alert, let go of the detective team. However, they still stared at the detective team with vigilance.

Wen Biao, who had been freed, looked at Lin Qiaosong in indignation and said, "Brother, this is so frustrating. This Su guy is so despicable. He doesn't even regard us detectives as human beings."

Although Lin Qiaosong was also so angry that he almost vomited blood, he was very clear-headed and prepared to report it to the higher authorities. "Now this matter has to be handled by Mr. Kang. Mr. Su is not someone that small fry like us can mess with."

"Eh? Boss, if Mr. Kang knew about this, with his personality, wouldn't he just beat you to death?"

"Alas! It's a bad year! I can't blame anyone."

Lin Qiaosong then reported the matter to Kang Shaojie of the Military Court, and naturally, he was severely beaten by Kang Shaojie.

Because in Kang Shaojie's eyes, Lin Qiaosong is a mad dog that can never be tamed.

"Snap..." Kang Shaojie swung the whip in his hand mercilessly. If possible, he would have wanted to kill Lin Qiaosong directly. "Snap..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Enduring the pain from the whip on his back, Lin Qiaosong continued to persuade Kang Shaojie, "Master Kang, the first thing we should do now is to negotiate with Mr. Su. It will be too late if we let these twelve Bu Party members escape."

With a "snap" sound, Kang Shaojie whipped Lin Qiaosong again, "Lin Qiaosong, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Qiao Song doesn't dare! These twelve Bu Party members are too important to us."

"Hmph! I'm going to ask Mr. Yu for help now. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back."

Lin Qiaosong suddenly turned around and looked at Kang Shaojie expectantly, "Master Kang, do you want me to go with you?"

However, Kang Shaojie looked at Lin Qiaosong with a sneer on his face and asked, "Why? You want to take this opportunity to get to know Mr. Yu, the big boss? Why don't you take a piss and take a picture of yourself?"

"..." At this moment, Lin Qiaosong was so ashamed that he wanted to find a rat hole to crawl into.

"Lin Qiaosong, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you really think you're a real person just because you put on a suit?"

"Master Kang, you misunderstood me, Qiao Song. Qiao Song never had such thoughts."

"Alright! I'm too lazy to bother with you now."

After venting his anger, Kang Shaojie threw away the whip in his hand, left the detective team, and took his own car to the home of the boss Yu Shiqing.

Kang Shaojie looked at Yu Shiqing with a bitter face and said, "Mr. Yu, I really need your help this time. Mr. Su from Su's Foreign Company actually took away twelve members of the Bolshevik Party from the French Concession."

"Oh? Does Mr. Su have any contact with the Bu Party?"

"I don't know! We are all very curious about his purpose."

"Alright! It just so happens that the Su's Trading Company recently supplied arms to Yan, Feng, and Li, making Mr. Jiang in Nanjing very angry. Mr. Kong suggested that I contact the Su's Trading Company first to see what their plan is."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yu."

……

At this time, Suning was naturally sitting back and waiting at the Huafan Hotel. He believed that the target person he was waiting for would appear soon. As for Lin Qiaosong, who had chased away the mad dog today, he didn't take it to heart.

In fact, Suning looked down on people like Lin Qiaosong from the bottom of his heart. He did everything without leaving any room for maneuver. For the sake of his future, he even killed his instructor's entire family.

So this is why everyone looks down on Lin Qiaosong. Even Lin Qiaosong's immediate superior Kang Shaojie dislikes him very much and always reminds Lin Qiaosong to be more honest.

When Yu Shiqing brought Kang Shaojie to Huafan Hotel, the first person he saw was Suning. After all, Yu Shiqing was quite well-connected in Shanghai.

Yu Shiqing smiled and pointed at Kang Shaojie standing beside him and introduced him to Su Ning, "Mr. Su, let me introduce you. This is Kang Shaojie, the director of the Military Law Department of the Shanghai National Government."

Kang Shaojie's smile at this moment was like that of a fat waiter. "Hello, Mr. Su! I am Kang Shaojie."

However, Su Ning knew that this guy was the most brutal one. "Hello, Director Kang! Nice to meet you."

"Mr. Su, first of all, I want to apologize to you. Lin Qiaosong, a member of my detective team, is ignorant. I hope you can forgive him and let him go this time."

"Director Kang, since you're Mr. Yu's friend, I won't hold back. I have no interest in that mad dog Lin Qiaosong. He came to Shanghai solely to make money and do business. I'm indifferent to your ideology, so I hope the Military Court and the Detective Squad won't come and harass me."

"This……"

Yu Shiqing, who was standing by, quickly asked Kang Shaojie, "Mr. Su, I heard that you went to the French Concession today and took away twelve members of the Bolshevik Party?"

"Mr. Yu, I don't know their identities or origins. Someone paid me thirty large yellow croakers to rescue someone from the French Concession. Naturally, I won't hesitate to do anything that can earn me money."

"I see! If the Military Court is willing to give you thirty large yellow croakers, would you be willing to hand these twelve men over to the Detective Team?"

However, Suning directly quoted a sky-high price, "Fifty large yellow croakers! After all, there is a price to pay for suddenly breaking an appointment."

"Huh?" Yu Shiqing was truly stunned by Su Ning's confession. He turned to look at the equally stunned Kang Shaojie and asked, "Director Kang, what do you think? Is your Military Court willing to pay this money?"

At this moment, Kang Shaojie naturally shook his head with a wry smile on his face. If the Military Court had such strength, they would have already arrested these twelve people. "Forget it! The Military Court does not have such strength."

"Mr. Yu, Director Kang, there's nothing I can do to help you."

"..."

Yu Shiqing then brought up another important matter. After all, the Nationalist army had been struggling recently in the Central Plains War. "Mr. Su, Mr. Kong in Nanjing heard that your foreign company has a large amount of arms, so he wants to directly purchase this batch of arms for the Nationalist government army. I wonder if Mr. Su is willing to do this business?"

"Mr. Yu, do you know how much arms our Su's Trading Company has in stock?"

"Eh? How much?"

"It can provide 2.2 million National Revolutionary Army troops with full-time combat capability for two years."

"What? How come there are so many munitions?"

"Mr. Yu, this is the strength of our Su's Trading Company. You have to know that we rely on the United States, the world's factory. In the future, our Su's Trading Company also plans to open steel mills and arsenals in China. The output at that time will naturally be a terrifying figure."

"It's too much! Mr. Kong's logistics department definitely can't handle it all."

"Mr. Yu, our Su's Foreign Company treats customers with open arms, and we don't care what ideologies or beliefs they hold."

"Then if Mr. Kong were to purchase a large quantity of arms on behalf of the Nationalist government, would there be any discounts?"

"Of course! After all, we also want to pay more for the larger quantity."

"Mr. Su, I will inform Nanjing of your reply. I believe Mr. Kong, who is in charge of logistics, will send someone to contact you."

"Look forward to the good news."
