Living in the Hong Kong Film World

Chapter 732
"What else do you want to say?"

Pete stared at Rong Zhaotian with a gloomy expression.

Three days have passed, but Rong Zhaotian still hasn't been able to get back that batch of soot.

Du Yuesheng was also at the side, silent.

He and Rong Zhaotian went to Boss Guo, but the reply they received from Boss Guo disappointed them a bit.

Boss Guo’s news came from a letter, which was left in the concierge, but the guard at the concierge didn’t know who put it there.

He said that he went to the toilet to relieve his hand, and this letter was on the table, and he chased it out to check, but the street outside was empty.

The content of the letter is very simple, there is only one sentence: the goods you want are in my hands.

Boss Guo didn't quite believe it at first. The goods were transferred from the East India Company by the British Consul. The guards were the boss of the Shanghai Chief Patrol Office and the largest gang in Shanghai. Under the protection of this force , he did not believe that anyone dared to make a move on this batch of goods.

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to go to the consulate in person.

But on this trip, he discovered that the contents of that letter were actually true!

Someone really stole that batch of goods from under the watchful eye of the two greatest forces, black and white!
He was very angry about it, because he might suffer a huge loss.

High-quality smoky clay has always been a sought-after product, let alone a top-notch product like Gongban soil?

This is a powerful tool for the tobacco shop to attract high-quality customers. People only want to come to you when they know that you have a public class here.

If you spend a little more money and ship it to the mainland, it will be a price of fifty li, an absolute hard currency.

Therefore, if you want to buy this kind of goods, you need to pay at least half of the payment in advance before you can place an order and pick up the goods.

However, this is the request of the East India Company. In fact, if you want to order from Pete, not only must you pay the full payment in advance, but you must also pay off the kickbacks returned to him in advance before he is willing to help with the order.

What?unwilling?Then find someone else!

There are plenty of people who want to make a fortune, and there is no shortage of one or two of you.

Therefore, Boss Guo placed the order from Pete after prepaying all the payment and rebates.

For this reason, he spent all the working capital in his hand, and also borrowed part of the money from the bank, so that the funds did not break.

If there is a problem with this batch of goods, then he will be in big trouble.

He is more anxious than Pete now, if the goods cannot arrive in time, and he cannot sell and cash out in time, then he may not even be able to pay his buddy's salary.

What's more terrible is that if the person who stole the goods threatened him with the goods and asked him to pay for the ransom, then he would really be hurt.

After learning about the actual situation, Boss Du and Rong Zhaotian lost their way. The source of news was cut off, and they returned to the original point, and the three-day period expired.

Now to solve this trouble, there is probably only one way left, that is, Du Yuesheng and Rong Zhaotian pay out of their own pockets to make up for the losses caused by this batch of goods.

This is not a small amount, and it is not so easy for Du Yuesheng to take it out, let alone Rong Zhaotian.

It stands to reason that the patrols under his command are paid, and there is also oil and water scraping, unlike Du Yuesheng who has to support his brothers out of his own pocket, so he should be able to save a lot of money in his hands.

In fact, he did get a lot of money, but he spent more.

His hometown is Suqian, and there are many relatives in the family, all counting on him to support him.

Not only did he buy a huge garden house in Shanghai, but he also built a large house in his hometown. All the oil and water he searched over the years was sent back to his hometown, but he really didn't have much money left.

Therefore, when Du Yuesheng suggested that both of them should bear the responsibility together, each of them should bear the next half of the loss, he did not agree, which made Du Yuesheng very dissatisfied with him.

It's really annoying to cooperate with such a short-sighted guy. I always think about using dragging words, can it solve the problem?
Now Pete asks, what do you do?
Rong Zhaotian really didn't know what to do, he lowered his head, his expression changed, but he still didn't say a word.

He also wanted to fight the next half of the loss, but he had to be able to take out so much money at once!
Boss Guo couldn't wait to use the money to use the goods. He couldn't afford the money, and it was useless to just agree!

Seeing his irresponsible appearance, Pete was also extremely disappointed.

Sighing, Pete waved his hand: "Forget it, you go home! This Chief Inspector, please stop doing it."

"But……"

Rong Zhaotian wanted to say something else, but was interrupted roughly by Pete: "What else? You can't get the goods back, and you can't get the money out. What do you need?"

Clenching his fists tightly, Rong Zhaotian was full of anger, but he didn't dare to vent his reason. He could only hold it in his heart, making his heart ache.

Suddenly, an assistant knocked on the door.

"Master Consul, there is a detective named Li Ye outside, and he said that he has something very important to see you."

"Li Ye? What is he doing here?"

Pete knew Li Ye that the four roads were a very special place in Shanghai, so he naturally knew something about the patron saint in this area.

Li Ye has a very strange temper, and he doesn't give anyone face. He only focuses on his own one-third of an acre of land.

Due to the particular geographical location of that area, even though he is a consul, it is difficult for him to give instructions on Li Ye's work.

Normally they don't interfere with the water in the well, why did Li Ye come to him suddenly today?

Puzzled in his heart, he still ordered: "Let him in."

Soon, the assistant brought Li Ye in.

"Inspector Li Yi, why are you here? Please sit down."

For Li Ye, Pete is more polite. Western culture emphasizes that the strong are king, and they are still willing to respect those who are capable.

Glancing at Rong Zhaotian at the side, Li Yi said solemnly, "I'm here to find the Chief Inspector. Last night, I found a major case on Hubin Road, but when I went to the Chief Police Officer's Office, they said he came here, so I'm coming."

"Oh!"

Pete nodded: "You don't need to look for him, he is no longer the Chief Inspector."

Hearing his words, Rong Zhaotian gritted his teeth instantly, his heart churning violently.

Pete didn't care, and said casually: "Since it's a case in the French Concession, you can go to the police station in the French Concession! The position of Chief Inspector will be re-deliberated and appointed at the next board meeting of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."

"Well."

Li Ye didn't waste any time, just nodded and got up, ready to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait a moment."

Pete stopped him and asked, "You said that a major case was discovered last night. What kind of case did you, the patron saint of the four roads, come to report in person?"

Li Ye thought about it, but he didn't hide it, and said seriously: "Last night, I found out that someone was trading cigarettes in private. It's a high-quality public class. The quantity is huge. I dare not deal with it without authorization, so I came to the chief inspector to deal with it. "

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

The three people in the office all exclaimed in unison, Pete stood up abruptly, walked to Li Ye and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Rong Zhaotian also rushed over and asked loudly, "How much is the quantity? Is it a hundred boxes?"

Li Ye was a little puzzled by their reaction, but he nodded and replied: "Almost, I counted it, exactly one hundred boxes."
