Chapter 160: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Along with the booing from next door and the humming of the actors, Wei Miao also listened with great interest. Is this the endless wealth?
When Lu Pingsheng came back from Hong Kong Island, he complained to her that the transportation costs were too expensive, and both water and land transportation costs were extremely high.
She specifically looked into the data on domestic water and rail transportation. The railways were controlled by warlords and various forces, and the cost of railway maintenance was extremely high, so they were no longer the first choice for cargo transportation.
On the contrary, with the addition of private shipping, water transportation has now exceeded railway transportation by three times.
Cheap, good quality and convenient.
If we can get a complete waterway in Neijiang, wouldn't that be like counting money while lying down?
And shares in the railway?
Wei Miao felt excited for the first time, but he quickly calmed down.
Not to mention her, even Lu Pingsheng might not be able to hold these things in his hands.
If you are alive to earn money, you must also be alive to spend it.
Even though the family is living a better life now and has a close relationship with Lu Pingsheng, it seems that the person next to him is also a hidden talent.
But Wei Miao knew that the one next door was the head of the Zeng family, the richest family in the previous dynasty, and the other was the son of a warlord with a large number of troops, although it was now the Republic of China and warlords were banned.
But in troubled times, those who do business are not as good as those who carry guns.
Uncle Zeng Bao noticed all the changes in Wei Miao. He was naturally intelligent and didn't know much when he was young, but he could always tell what everyone was thinking in one sentence.
His father was surprised but also worried about his health, so he sent him to the temple to see Master Zhishang. . .
"Want to compete?" Uncle Zeng Bao asked Wei Miao.
Wei Miao nodded and then shook his head, "Forget it, it's too troublesome!"
Uncle Zeng Bao smiled: "It's not a big deal."
Before Wei Miao could say anything, Uncle Zeng Bao stood up and walked to the next box. Seeing Wei Miao in a daze, he motioned for her to follow him.
"Go call Guo George over! Write a document for me as a witness..."
Zeng Baoyi shouted at the servant at the door, but when he raised his eyes, his voice suddenly stopped, like a pheasant with its neck strangled.
Lu Shaojie looked at his expression and wanted to laugh at him, but before he opened his mouth, he heard a clear voice saying:
"Count me in too."
Zeng Baoyi, who was hugging a plump girl, looked at this face and his good mood suddenly disappeared. He said to the actor who was still singing:
"roll roll roll!"
But after a moment, the luxurious box became much quieter, and Lu Shaojie, who was wearing a military uniform, looked at Uncle Zeng Bao with a complicated expression.
"Uncle Bao, long time no see."
Uncle Zeng Bao said to him politely: "Mr. Lu, you are still as elegant as ever."
The three parties sat down. Wei Miao saw that there were two people standing behind the other two people, and wondered whether he should also stand behind Mr. Zeng.
"Ah Miao, sit down."
Uncle Zeng Bao spoke to her gently.
Zeng Baoyi, who had been in a bad mood since Uncle Zeng Bao came in, rolled his eyes rudely.
His younger brother is good at pretending and is extremely hypocritical.
Uncle Zeng Bao looked at them and said bluntly: "Your bet is very interesting, count me in."
Lu Shaojie rolled his eyes, "Uncle Bao, we are just fooling around."
Zeng Baoyi saw how polite and courteous Lu Shaojie was to Lao Jiu, and thought that this person was always comparing himself with him and looked down on him, so he became angry.
"What? Master Lu can't afford to play? If you are afraid, put an announcement in the newspaper tomorrow saying that you are not as good as Zeng Baoyi and I will not pursue the matter."
The smile on Lu Shaojie's face faded after hearing this. He really didn't understand why Mr. Zeng, who had such a great reputation throughout his life, would choose such an heir.
Could it be true what his father said, that only if there is a fool to take the blame, the others can be saved?
Thinking of this, he looked at Uncle Zeng Bao who was sitting next to him with a hidden gaze. Seeing his sickly face, he felt that his father was overthinking.
He would not have passed on his family business to someone who would not live long.
"Uncle Bao, what are you betting on?"
Uncle Zeng Bao seemed to know that he would ask this question, "How about the shares of the four major shopping malls?"
Guo George, who was walking at the door, had no change in expression. Is this guy also involved?
When Zeng Baoyi heard this, he became even angrier. The old man said that he would pass the family property to him. He set up a trust fund with foreigners for part of it, and gave most of it to this sickly person.
What he got seemed glorious, but in fact, his family fortune was emptied out.
"I don't want it. I want money, the equivalent of railway shares in cash."
Uncle Zeng Bao didn't even raise his eyebrows. "Okay."
After that, he said to George Guo who was standing at the door: "Please write a bet and a document."
Lu Shaojie's eyes were filled with excitement, and he said to the adjutant behind him: "Go home and get the things!"
The people behind Zeng Baoyi wanted to persuade him, but seeing that his eyes were red, they knew that not only would they fail to persuade him, but they would also suffer the consequences if he got angry.
More than an hour later, when the document was completed, everyone who should know knew about this gamble.
In the antique shop on Wuma Street, Lu Pingsheng carefully flipped through the "Lanting Preface" in his hand. After a while, he said regretfully:
"fake."
Lao Ma's expression turned annoyed. "I thought I had found a bargain, but it turned out I was cheated."
After hearing the signal from outside, Lao Ma lowered his voice and said:
"The organization was very satisfied with the medicines and supplies we sent last time. The probability of saving lives is over 80%."
Lu Pingsheng grinned silently, joy surging in his heart, his heart seemed to be hot like magma. He restrained himself from laughing out loud, but his eyes were filled with tears.
Lao Ma was also filled with emotion. He never thought that this young man whom he had developed unintentionally could bring such a big surprise to himself and the organization.
"Part of the gold and US dollars you brought with you were exchanged for weapons through special channels, and part of them were exchanged for supplies. The organization gave you a special letter of praise..."
Listening to Lao Ma's low voice, Lu Pingsheng felt a satisfaction he had never felt before. After a long time, he sniffed and gave an embarrassed smile.
Lao Ma patted him on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Xinghuo, the organization means that you are on the right path. Keep going. We don't need to meet again unless it is necessary. You don't need to collect any intelligence. Just switch to logistics."
Lu Pingsheng was stunned. "Don't you want any information anymore?"
Lao Ma nodded, "We don't need any intelligence! Your current mission is to deal with the economy and medicine, don't get involved in anything else!"
"What about military intelligence?" Lu Pingsheng was thinking about the future and felt annoyed.
Lao Ma's expression also turned serious: "Comrade Lu Pingsheng, the original words above are: any intelligence!"
Lu Pingsheng walked out of the antique shop with a calm expression, and heard someone shouting:
"Extra, Extra, a shocking gambling game has been launched at the racecourse. The two sons of the richest man and Young Marshal Lu have launched a gambling game worth millions..."
When Lu Pingsheng heard the word "Zeng", his eyebrows twitched and he threw fifty cents to the newsboy, "No need to change."
The newsboy was overjoyed and respectfully handed him the A4-sized newspaper.
Looking at the tabloid with the ink still wet, Lu Pingsheng once again felt the fierce competition in the cultural industry of the Republic of China.
This kind of tabloid is called breaking news and usually only appears when a very sensational event occurs.
A4 layout, an important message plus a photo, can be printed immediately after the layout is completed.
Lu Pingsheng looked at the three people shaking hands in the photo, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
