    "Now, it's just you and me, are you ready to do it?"

    When Gustave heard this question from Baron Skeleton, he nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

    Wang Weiyi smiled and took out a list from his pocket: "The things I need are all on it. I don't care what method you use, but I need to see these things for at least three months. Of course, transportation is also a big problem.  It¡¯s a big problem, I believe you can solve it.¡±

    Gustav did not answer immediately this time

    Of course Wang Weiyi knew what he was thinking. He clapped his hands. After a while, a Chinese man came in, put a bag on the ground, and then quickly left.

    Wang Weiyi clicked on the bag, and Gustave opened the bag in confusion. A golden light rushed out, almost blinding him.

    ¡ª¡ªGold!

    "Here are thirty pounds of gold, Mr. Gustave." Wang Weiyi said slowly: "This is the deposit I paid you. When you finish the matter, I will give you the rest."

    Gustave carefully pulled up his zippers, straightened up, and tried to calm down his excitement: "Doing business with you is simply my greatest joy. I will provide you with everything you need in the shortest possible time."  All brought to you¡±

    Wang Weiyi nodded: "Okay, I will wait for you, but I still need you to find someone for me."

    After finishing the instructions in a low voice, Gustav nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and said that the matter would be done tomorrow afternoon.

    "This is our first cooperation. There is no gunfire or cannon fire. I believe everyone is happy to see this kind of cooperation." Wang Weiyi stood up: "However, Mr. Gustave, the news that I am still alive,  I don¡¯t want it to get out so quickly. You have to know that I still have a lot of things to do in China.¡±

    "I understand, of course I understand, who can have trouble with money?" Gustave understands this very well.

    He decided to keep this secret for the baron until the baron was willing to disclose his identity. This was related to his future "money path"

    The atmosphere in the concession is very strange right now.

    Inside, a large number of French patrols were searching everywhere, and outside, a large number of Japanese soldiers blocked the exit.

    Gustave¡¯s car, flying the French flag, drove out and was quickly stopped by Japanese soldiers.  This is the consulate's car, and the Japanese have no right to inspect it.

    But Gustav seemed to want to show his innocence by letting the Chinese driver who helped him get out of the car first.

    A Japanese major looked at the Chinese driver carefully and saw no flaws. This man was definitely not the Chinese being arrested.

    Then, Gustav opened all the car doors again, seeming to be looking for something there

    A smile appeared on the major's lips. This Frenchman was really cooperative.  The consulate's car can refuse to be inspected, but the French still tell the Japanese in other ways:

    I didn¡¯t take anyone out with me in my car.

    "Excuse me." The major bowed slightly to Gustav.

    Although Gustav didn¡¯t understand what he was talking about, he could probably guess it from his appearance.  He mumbled something in French, and then got in the car with his Chinese driver.

    After driving out of the concession and away from the group of Japanese, Zhang Sandao stopped the car, got out of the car, and then quickly walked out of the real driver from the corner.

    "Say thank you to Mr. Gustav for me." After Zhang Sandao said that, he hurriedly left here.

    He didn¡¯t understand why the regiment leader asked him to leave first. Why didn¡¯t he stay in the concession and fight side by side with them?

    But what the leader says is always correct

    In the afternoon, Gustav¡¯s car came back again. The difference was that this time his car was followed by a car with a Japanese flag.

    There is no need to inspect the car entering, but the major is a little curious, why did the French invite a Japanese so quickly?  Whose car is that?

    French Concession, Dachang Company.

    The Japanese car stopped at the entrance of Dachang Company. The door opened and a bald man wearing a suit and tie came out of the car and was immediately welcomed into Dachang Company.

    "Mr. Satomi." Qiao Zhihe and Lu Mingzhai, who had been waiting there for a long time, greeted the Japanese with great enthusiasm as soon as they saw him.

    "Mr. Qiao, we have been separated from each other in Manchuria for several years, and I am extremely excited to meet again today." This Japanese named "Satomi" speaks fluently every time he opens his mouth.?¡¯s Chinese language.

    Wang Weiyi, who was hiding in another room, smiled faintly.

    He came after all.  I guessed it right, under the huge pressure, this Japanese will definitely come!

    He was Satomi Fu, a former good friend of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme leader of the National Government.

    He also has a nickname - the Opium King!

    Of course, Satomi Fu, who has just accepted a job in Shanghai and is using Hongji Shantang Pharmacy as a cover, cannot yet be called the "Opium King". As he takes on the heavy responsibility of selling opium, he must face the pressure from the British  Fierce competition with Japan's two major conglomerates, Mitsui and Mitsubishi.

    Although they are all Japanese and engaged in the opium business, Satomi represents the interests of the Kwantung Army!  It is precisely because of this that the relationship between Satomi's "Hongji Shantang" and Mitsui and Mitsubishi is both cooperation and competition.

    Satomi has just taken over this job. Not only can he not be compared with the British in terms of qualifications and connections, he can't be compared with Mitsui and Mitsubishi.  Although he is supported by the Eastern Army and Japan's head of strategic planning, the 8th Section Chief of the Army Ministry, Kage Sasaki Akira, it is still very difficult to develop quickly.

    At first, Li Jianfu pinned the focus of his opium work on Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Youth Gang. However, at this time, Du Yuesheng secretly left Shanghai and fled to Chongqing. This move made the date between Li Jianfu and Du Yuesheng come to nothing.  Although Du Yuesheng could share the huge profits in the monopoly opium business, this figure who carried the rank of major general in the National Government Council eventually got rid of the Japanese.

    The failure of the mission made Satomi Fu, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, anxious.  At this time, the Frenchman Gustave brought a message:

    Lu Mingzhai, a newly rising tycoon in Shanghai, and Qiao Zhihe, a famous businessman who he recognized from Manchuria, want to see him.

    ?? Satomi knows all about the celebrities in Shanghai, and he even knows why they come to him. Of course, the opportunity for him to take advantage of them has also come

    After the guests and hosts sat down, Qiao Zhihe exchanged some greetings and said: "Mr. Satomi, the Japanese heard that you came to Shanghai a few days ago and wanted to see you, but the war was very intense. Now that the war has stopped, there are many nobles outside the concession.  The Chinese troops are only allowed in, but not allowed out. I have no choice but to entrust my French friend Gustave to come and invite him. Now that I finally see Mr. Satomi, I can feel a little relieved."

    Li Jianfu smiled slightly: "I'm afraid Mr. Qiao and Boss Lu invited me here not just to meet."

    "Yes, there is nothing to hide from Mr. Qiao Zhihe." Qiao Zhihe sighed: "A few days ago, we recognized a man who claimed to be 'Manager Wang' and said he wanted to cooperate with us in business. You also  You know, businessmen, why don¡¯t you do business? So we were very enthusiastic about him, but something happened that day at the Tsar Ballroom.¡±

    "I know." Satomi said calmly: "That was a Chinese lieutenant colonel named Wang Weiyi. This man killed the son of Colonel Kobayakawa Koui and humiliated him. The group of imperial soldiers outside came here just to  Catch him."

    "Yes, yes." Lu Mingzhai said repeatedly: "What a fool, how did we know he was from the national army? Now it's better, even we are implicated."

    Qiao Zhihe immediately said: "Although we are safe in the French Concession, we can't stay here forever, right? We have to do business, right? So I want to ask Mr. Satomi to deal with it."

    "It's very difficult for me." Satomi sighed: "That was the arrest operation personally ordered by the commander of the 5th Brigade, Major General Katayama Riichiro, and I heard that this Wang Weiyi is a figure that many soldiers in the empire hate very much.  If you get involved with him, I'm afraid it won't be easy to escape."

    Speaking of this, he looked at Qiao Zhihe and Lu Mingzhai, and then said slowly: "Besides, until now, you haven't told me the truth. Why did Wang Weiyi come to you? You are unwilling to tell the truth  Tell me, how can I help you?"

    Qiao Zhihe smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Satomi. Well, he is actually Mr. Satomi who came to us to buy weapons and medicines. We are doing business. Regardless of Japanese or Chinese, as long as you have money,  If we can make money, we will do it.¡±

    Satomi smiled: "I like to hear the truth. When Mr. Qiao does business, it doesn't matter who he does it with. Some imperial officers are very strange. When they fail on the battlefield, they don't blame their own incompetence, but blame others.  Too strong. If the Kwantung Army came, maybe the war would have been settled long ago."

    The Kwantung Army has always regarded itself as Japan's most elite force and does not pay much attention to other troops.  Satomi had stayed with the important officials of the Kwantung Army for a long time, and he had unknowingly acquired some of this temper.

    "To"Your matter" Satomi thought for a moment: "I can help, and I can help you a lot. I can even say that you are my people."  However, I have a favor now and I need your help.  "

    Qiao Zhihe and Lu Mingzhai looked at each other: "Mr. Satomi, just tell us what you need us to do." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
