"Director Li, I've found out everything."
Bian Tongzhou hurriedly walked in: "There really is such a person as Aisin Gioro Zai Rong. This person is from the line of Zaifeng, the last regent of the Qing Dynasty. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu's reign, this person suddenly disappeared."
"Missing?"
"Yes, he is missing." Bian Tongzhou said with certainty: "That year, Zaifeng was appointed Minister of Military Aircraft. Some people said that Zaifeng did not trust Zai Rong and gave him a sum of money to purchase weapons in the West. Later, Zai Rong was greedy for money. , fled with the money and became anonymous from then on. Others said that this man smoked too much and fell into the water at night and died."
"A Belle disappeared inexplicably?"
Li Shiqun frowned: "Have you checked with Manchuria?"
"It has been confirmed." Bian Tongzhou said immediately: "But it has been too long, and no one around Puyi can figure out what happened, and no one knows this Zai Rong."
"Then let him be, no matter what."
After Li Shiqun finished speaking, Bian Tongzhou hurriedly said: "Director Li, I have heard that this man has accumulated a huge amount of wealth over the years. I don't know whether it is true or not, but as soon as he arrived at Licha Hotel, he immediately booked a floor. "
"oh?"
"Really, I went to the Richa Hotel to see it. I heard that he came back this time to support the Anti-Japanese War."
"What kind of resistance do these people support? What a joke!" Li Shiqun sneered: "If you give these people some courage, they won't dare to openly talk about the resistance."
"Director Li, what should we do now?"
"What I care about is not the man, but his money."
Li Shiqun said thoughtfully: "If the rumors are true, Zai Rong is really rich..."
No. 76 is now facing great financial pressure.
The result of rapid expansion is that funds cannot keep up.
Li Shiqun originally made a fortune there after Ji Yunqing's death, but unfortunately, he was completely robbed by Meng Shaoyuan.
Although the Japanese did not delve into the attack on the "Takamatsu Group", they eventually formed a rift with Li Shiqun.
It seems that Japanese financial support will not arrive for the time being.
But what about the daily expenses of such a large organization?
Li Shiqun has been thinking about where to get money for this period of time.
"Licha Hotel."
Li Shiqun stood up: "Let's go to the Licha Hotel to meet this Mr. Baylor!"
…
Licha Hotel is located in Waibaidu Bridge.
During the war, because Hongkou where the Richa Hotel was located belonged to the Japanese sphere of influence and was separated from other areas of the Shanghai Public Settlement and was not classified as a wartime neutral zone, the Western expatriates living in Hongkou quickly left and moved to the safer central area of the Shanghai Public Settlement. , the Western District and its cross-border road construction zone, as well as the Shanghai French Concession. After the Western expatriates evacuated from Hongkou, the Licha Hotel lost its service customers and could no longer operate. So the British transferred the hotel to the Japanese for management.
Therefore, this place belongs to the Japanese sphere of influence.
Li Shiqun was not afraid at all when he came here.
Moreover, this was also the main reason why he was sure that this Mr. Baylor was not really here to help the war.
Have you ever seen anyone who wanted to fight the war go to a Japanese hotel and shout that they wanted to fight the war?
Really, that’s crazy!
"Mr. Li Shiqun."
Honda Yoshi, the general manager of the Rich Hotel, came out to greet him personally.
"Mr. Honda." Li Shiqun said without any greetings: "Is there a customer named Zai Rong staying in your store?"
"Yes, Mr. Li Shiqun."
"What kind of person is this person?"
"How should I put it?" Honda Yoshi thought for a moment: "This person is very high-profile and has booked our entire floor. The food and supplies are completely beyond the scope of this hotel."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's hard for me to express this clearly in words." Honda Yoshi smiled bitterly: "You have to see it with your own eyes to understand."
Li Shiqun nodded: "I heard that he seems to have come to fight against the Japanese Empire?"
"Do you really think that?" Hondayoshi smiled: "Would a guest who lives here and is surrounded by Japanese people say these things openly?"
Li Shiqun also smiled: "I want to see him now, is that okay?"
"sure."
…
Li Shiqun finally knew what style was.
As soon as he went upstairs, at the entrance of the stairs, two men in black clothes stopped him: "We have reserved the venue here, please go to another floor."
Just as Bian Tongzhou was about to rebel, Li Shiqun said, "I'm here to pay homage to Lord Beile."
"There is nothing Lord Belle here."
Li Shiqun was also sophisticated. He took out two bills from his pocket and said, "Can you two please be accommodating?"
The two people took the ticket, and their expressions suddenly became much better: "Wait, let's ask Butler Lu."
"Thanks for your hard work."
What is this called?
The king of hell is happy to see you, but the kid is sad.
Li Shiqun had seen this kind of thing a lot.
After waiting there for almost twenty minutes, Bian Tongzhou became extremely impatient, and then he saw a man in his forties walking out.
Wearing a navy blue gown, she did not have braids as expected, but short hair.
There is a jade ring on the thumb of his right hand, which looks very valuable. There was a jade pendant tied around his waist, which looked like it might be worth a lot of money.
Holding a snuff bottle in his left hand, his expression was cold: "Who wants to see Lord Baylor?"
"Butler Lu, right? I'm Li Shiqun." Li Shiqun took a step forward and said, "I heard that Master Dorobele has arrived in Shanghai, and I came here specifically to see him."
"Master Beile has caught a cold and cannot see guests." Butler Lu said with a cold expression, "I understand Mr. Li's idea. I will naturally tell Master Beile, but please come back today."
Li Shiqun was a sensible person and immediately took out five dollars from his pocket: "I have admired Mr. Baylor's reputation for a long time. Since you are here today, please do me a favor. I would like to invite Butler Lu for tea."
Butler Lu glanced at him: "Xiao Zheng."
"exist."
"When we came to this restaurant, I was in a good mood. How much did I reward the waiter?"
"In return, five dollars."
"Five dollars, that's a lot of money. You can buy a lot of things."
Butler Lu said calmly: "Although I don't have much money, I am a member of Lord Beile. I can't embarrass Lord Beile when I go out. I have to reward others for selling iron. But I am not a beggar, right? What kind of money is this? Japanese money?"
"Master, this is Japanese yen."
"Someone gives me five yen to send me away? Hey, the Qing Dynasty is gone, and I don't think of myself as a human being anymore."
Bian Tongzhou was furious.
However, Li Shiqun could not see any anger and took out a few more bills from his pocket: "Steward Lu, look, I came in a hurry today. Please forgive me and I will make up for it next time."
Butler Lu's face softened slightly and he put away the money:
"Just wait here, I'm not sure whether Lord Baylor wants to see you or not."
Bian Tongzhou was very angry.
who are they?
No. 76!
But a little housekeeper actually treats them with such an attitude?
