In the banquet hall of Huang Mansion, Lu Xiaojia was a little surprised. Huang Quan's appearance had changed again. Not to mention that his appearance was really good, so he couldn't help but joked:
"Oh, boss Huang, you have changed your position again. You don't even want Xiao Lanchun, but I think your new position is pretty decent."
When Huang Quanrong heard this, he thought it was Lu Xiaojia who had taken a liking to his new wife. There was a trace of hesitation on his face. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind and said:
"Oh, Master Lu, what are you doing... In fact, I, Huang, am already beyond my capabilities. If Master Lu likes this woman, I am willing to part with her..."
Lu Xiaojia touched the oil on her mouth. Who did Huang Quanrong think she was?
"Boss Huang, I am an outspoken person. I am not interested in your women this time. I only want one thing from you three tycoons."
"I just want money."
This made the faces of the three tycoons a little ugly. The three looked at each other as if they were communicating something, but in the end they did not break up.
"Master Lu, we three tycoons make sacrifices to your Anhui army every year. Qi Xieyuan next door also asks us to make sacrifices. What you did today broke the rules. It doesn't seem to be good."
Hearing what Zhang Xiaoling said, Lu Xiaojia stood up and slammed his gun on the table.
"Mr. Zhang, you said it was not good for me to break the rules. Then I would like to ask the three of you: How many innocent people have you harmed by being traitors, lackeys, and traitors, helping foreigners to sell drugs and people, and opening casinos and chicken stalls? The Chinese people’s families were destroyed.”
"Do you think you three tycoons have made honest money over the years? You have made so much shady money. Have you ever thought that after you die, future generations will point to your grave and drown you with spit."
Zhang Xiaoling seemed a little angry and even wanted to draw his gun. Seeing that the battle was about to break up, Lu Yunsheng stood up first.
"Master Lu, let's not break the peace, just tell us how much you want?"
Lu Xiaojia smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand to squeeze Lu Yunsheng's shoulders, and then said:
"I have long heard that among the three tycoons of you, Mr. Lu is the best at doing things. Now it seems that this is not a rumor."
"I come to you to ask for these ill-gotten gains. I am not like you three tycoons who only want to use the money for personal enjoyment. Instead, I use the money to develop railways, education, and industry to benefit the people and save the country. All I need is 20 million silver dollars."
As soon as these words came out, the three tycoons all took a breath of cold air. Lu Yunsheng was a little confused:
"Master Lu, I'm afraid you don't know the income of our three brothers. We have to pay two to three million silver dollars to your Lu family and Huai Province Qi family each year. We really don't have that much money in our hands now."
And Huang Quanrong also echoed:
"Oh, Master Lu, if you open your mouth like a lion, Qi Xieyuan of Huai Province will be held accountable. Will it be very difficult for us?"
"Difficult to handle? When you guys were making shady money, you didn't say it was difficult to handle. In my eyes, Qi Xieyuan from Huai Province can only be considered a piece of shit."
After Lu Xiaojia said this, he glanced at the soldiers in the room and then stood up.
Since these guys didn't know what was good or bad, he wasn't going to save face for these three guys.
After all, although these three tycoons in Shanghai were touted by later generations as sages who were both loyal and righteous, they had more than tens of millions of admirers. Lu Yunsheng's reputation even surpassed that of the ever-unparalleled Mr. Guan.
But those people don't know that the three tycoons made their fortune thanks to the tobacco business, which has harmed countless families. After becoming famous, they also engaged in smuggling and human trafficking businesses.
He even allowed his disciples to violently control opium dens, docks, casinos, rickshaws, fish markets, and other businesses, and committed many evil deeds.
Lu Xiaojia picked up the cigarettes she had placed on the table, took one out and held it in her mouth.
"Since you said it's difficult to do today, then in my opinion, there's nothing special about your birthday!"
After saying that, he used his signature gesture and overturned the table full of delicacies.
Several soldiers also quickly took action and controlled the three tycoons. The cold muzzles of the guns were pressed against the heads of the three people, making the three tycoons feel cold and pale.
"Mr. Lu, if we have something to talk about, we will find a way to get the money you want."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, please don't resort to mobilizing troops at every turn. If you spare the lives of our three brothers, even if we lose everything, we will give you all the money."
Lu Xiaojia thought for a moment and felt that it was suddenly missing. She squatted down and stretched out four fingers.
"Sorry, I have changed my mind now. I plan to double the amount, 40 million silver dollars."
The pupils of the three people dilated instantly. Wouldn't these 40 million silver dollars cost them all their fortune? Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaojia would change the subject next.
"But I don't plan to let you three tycoons raise all of these 40 million silver dollars."
"The gangs you are hosting today, such as the Cats, Dogs, Qingworm Society, etc. are also very wealthy people. It's not too much to ask them for 20 million."
"But this matter will trouble you three tycoons. I think Mr. Lu has a high prestige. How about you handle this matter later? I don't know if you are willing, Mr. Lu."
The three tycoons looked a little surprised. They didn't expect Lu Xiaojia to leave a way for the three of them.
Let the remaining people bleed as well. Lu Yunsheng pondered for a moment.
"Yunsheng is willing to organize this matter for Mr. Lu and guarantee to raise the 40 million silver dollars, but in case some of those people are unwilling to cooperate..."
"Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry. I will help you handle this kind of thing. If anyone is unwilling to cooperate and get the money, then just go and die."
After Lu Xiaojia said this, he motioned to the soldiers to let go of their hands. Lu Yunsheng stood up. He knew that he was now in a dilemma. If he didn't do it, he would be afraid.
Not long after, several people came outside the mansion, and a stage just happened to be set up on the grass.
Lu Yunsheng stood on the stage and announced Lu Xiaojia's intention on the spot through an old-fashioned microphone, asking everyone present to raise 20 million silver dollars and hand it over.
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone being thrown into a pool of calm water, causing ripples and everyone in the audience started talking.
After a while, someone stood up and objected. This person was Xu Fuliang, the director of the Shanghai Metropolitan Police Department.
"Humph, Lu Xiaojia, don't take yourself too seriously. You are killing the goose to lay eggs. Don't let him spoil you. The worst is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. We, Marshal Qi, the governor of Huai Province, will definitely protect everyone when the time comes."
"boom!"
After the gunshot, a small hole appeared in Xu Fuliang's forehead. The high-speed rotating bullet opened his Tianling Cap, and a stream of red and white stuff came out.
Lu Xiaojia blew on the still smoking muzzle, then put away the Ruger P08 pistol, and coldly glanced at the people in the audience with her blade-like eyes.
"I don't know if any of you still have any opinions. Now you can speak out with confidence and boldly, and then go to the west with Xu Fuliang lying on the ground."
Three jeeps also drove into the Huang Mansion. The soldiers in the back seat pulled the bolt, loaded the Browning M2 heavy machine gun on the jeep, and then aimed at everyone.
"I only give all of you two hours now. If you are unwilling to cooperate with Mr. Lu and raise this money, you will have to bear the consequences."
After these words came out, the audience became silent, and no one dared to object anymore.
Just kidding, heavy machine guns were mounted, and the entire Huang Mansion was surrounded by thousands of soldiers.
These gang bosses came to the banquet, but they didn't bring many people with them. The few young men they had had already been taken advantage of by the armed army.
As for choosing to resist and fight to the death, this is even more of a joke. Although these gang bosses can recruit tens of thousands of subordinates, many of them can be equipped with guns. Most of them are just nominal disciples.
What's more, there were many people just now, but when they saw Lu Xiaojia and even armored vehicles coming, how could they deal with that kind of iron lump, even bullets were useless.
Two hours later, Lu Yunsheng came to Lu Xiaojia with a large stack of checks.
"Mr. Lu, what you want is too much and cannot be raised in a short time. There are only 23 million silver dollars here. The remaining money will be collected in the next few days and delivered to you."
Lu Xiaojia was not angry after hearing this. After all, although these guys were rich, they were still not as powerful as the top rich second generation like Sheng Hengyi.
"Mr. Lu, I want to see the remaining money within five days. I hope you won't let me down."
Lu Xiaojia took the check with a smile on her face, and then reminded Lu Yunsheng.
"Mr. Lu, I like you very much. I hope you can give up such harmful businesses as tobacco and gambling, which have been notorious for thousands of years. With your reputation as Mr. Lu, you can still make money by opening factories, banks, and trading houses, let alone this kind of business." Industry, it will also help the country’s development.”
Looking at the back of Lu Xiaojia leaving gracefully, Lu Yunsheng showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
In fact, he also thought about abandoning the illegal industry in his name, but the remaining two tycoons disagreed. After all, it was too profitable to engage in illegal activities.
