It is remembered that Fushoutang is the most high-end smokehouse in Anshan District. It has a magnificent appearance and looks like a palace compared to the donkey meat restaurant where we just ate.
There are private seats and elegant seats in Fushou Hall. The private seats are a large room with beds and Kangs. There are small tables next to it, where you can also order wine and food. There are also waiters squatting to serve the guests and burning cigarettes for the guests. However, compared with the elegant seats, Not so comfortable anymore.
The private room is very elegant and fully furnished. You can also ask the girl here to enjoy the longevity ointment on the couch with you.
Lu Ming and Margaret were led into such a private room.
"You and your concubine wait a moment? I'll go and tell you. Do you want to order some high-quality cigarettes?" Wang San smiled along with him.
Just now, I was rewarded with another ten yuan tip, and I wanted to see Mr. Wang Er again, and he was the identity of the Secret Bureau of the Black Mountain Concession.
Wang San instantly became like an errand boy.
"No need, ask them to serve a pot of good tea." Lu Ming waved his hand.
"Okay!" Wang San ran out in a hurry.
…
Wang Zhengtong and Wang Ershan came very quickly. He was a very elegant scholar, about fifty years old, and in good spirits.
Wang San was nothing in his eyes, but he wouldn't dare to lie to this guy even if he had a hundred courages.
So I heard that someone from the Montenegro Concession Secrecy Bureau came to see him, and they also followed an extremely beautiful Western lady.
Wang Zhengtong thought for a while and then came to meet him.
"My name is Commissioner Zhang." Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand.
Wang Zheng was stunned, and the smile on his lips froze for a moment, and he subconsciously said: "Which Commissioner Zhang?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I think it is the Commissioner Zhang you are thinking of."
"Ah, Commissioner!" After Wang Zhengtong was stunned for a moment, he immediately showed a friendly smile and bowed repeatedly, "Disrespectful, disrespectful! Your Majesty, Commissioner, is here. How lucky is Zhengtong?!"
Lu Ming made a gesture, "Sit down!" He took his seat first. Wang Zhengzheng's smile faltered, then smiled again and sat at the round table.
There was nothing he could do if the other party turned against him. Although the Montenegro Concession Secrecy Bureau had no control over Anshan District, it was the agency that truly managed the Montenegro Concession. Even if a random officer came over, Wang Zhengzheng thought about it and came to meet them all, let alone He said that his number one person had arrived.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand to signal Margaret standing behind him, and said, "This is Mrs. Margaret. Mr. Wang should know who it is, right?"
Wang Zheng was stunned, his expression became a little strange, he nodded and said nothing.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Now, the remaining property of Margaret's husband, Mr. Pereiro, has been taken over by Mrs. Margaret. Mr. Wang, do you agree with this?"
Wang Zhengtong smiled and said: "Your Majesty Commissioner, this has nothing to do with me. Moreover, as far as I know, Mrs. Margaret was sentenced to death by our court, right? Of course, I will definitely not report it."
Behind Lu Ming, Margaret's expression changed slightly.
Lu Ming picked up the teacup and took a slow sip of water. "Whether you report it or not is not my concern. No one in my house, at least in Shengjing, can do anything." He looked at Wang Zhengtong and said, "I said, Does it really have nothing to do with you?"
As he spoke, Lu Ming stretched out his hand. Margaret took out a document from her briefcase. Lu Ming placed it on the table and pushed it towards Wang Zhengtong.
Wang Zhengtong looked at the cover of the letter but did not pick it up. He pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Commissioner, you are an official of the Montenegro Special Administrative Region. The Montenegro Special Administrative Region, including the concession area, completely prohibits the trade of tobacco and soil. Therefore, in this way, Well, every month from now on, from the investment belonging to Mrs. Margaret, I will put the income into the original account, which is about 10,000 yuan. Of course, the income here must have nothing to do with the tobacco and soil trading."
Lu Ming smiled: "That's not good. In the past, from Mrs. Margaret's account, I think the amount you remitted every month was around 200,000. Not only did the entire Anshan District opium shop's accounts come from you. , and the goods going to Anshan Province are also billed through you, right?"
Wang Zhengtong frowned slightly, "Commissioner, do you mean to also participate in the tobacco business?"
Lu Ming said: "Actually, Mr. Wang is pretty good to me. I understand what you mean. I get a dividend of 10,000 yuan every month and he keeps me out of the tobacco and soil trade. I will remember this favor."
After a pause, "But I'm here to help Mrs. Margaret get back what belongs to her. You are Mr. Perrero's agent and Mr. Perrero's investment. You are just helping to take care of it and purchase the goods." The channel was originally negotiated by Mr. Perrero, and the order of the entire Anshan District opium den was also established by Mr. Perrero. Now you want to keep everything for yourself? That is definitely not possible. "
Wang Zhengtong pondered, and finally raised his head and said: "Mr. Commissioner, to tell you the truth, Mr. James has already negotiated with me. I will remit 150,000 yuan to his account every month. Once I meet him in Anshan District and Anshan Province, If I can't solve the problem, he will help me solve it."
Lu Ming smiled: "What problem can he solve? A Grifenni man, when his people were oppressed and even massacred, bowed his head and took refuge with the Japanese. What problem do you think he can help you solve?"
Wang Zhengheng remained silent, then nodded and said: "The concession managed by Commissioner Zhang has become a safe haven for Westerners. I admire it very much."
It is obvious that the strength and courage of the two people are not on the same level at all.
"Brother Zhengtong, I'm surprised now. Why did you join this business?" Lu Ming was indeed surprised. This good man Wang seems to be a real person. He has a clear mind and a clear understanding of the current situation. He doesn't seem to be greedy. How could a person like that become a cigarette dealer? I feel like I'm in the wrong business.
Wang Zhengzheng smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"Okay, Brother Zhengtong, you can think carefully about what I said. I'll wait for your reply." Lu Ming pointed to the teapot on the table, "I'll taste your tea again. It tastes good."
"Mr. Commissioner, I've thought about it." Wang Zheng raised his head and said, "I will continue to follow the old rules from now on. I will transfer all the money that needs to be turned over to Lady Margaret's account."
Lu Ming smiled, "Okay." Looking at Wang Zhengtong, he suddenly said: "Actually, my goal is to ban smoking in the four northern provinces." This Wang Zhengtong knows clearly and acts decisively. Otherwise, he would not have said this. talk.
Wang Zhengheng smiled bitterly, "I knew that you would not really come to take over the tobacco business. Otherwise, you would not become General Lu's right-hand man."
"What do you think?" Lu Ming looked at him with interest.
"To be honest..., I don't know." Wang Zhengzheng shook his head, "My mind is a little confused right now."
Lu Ming picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "In Anshan Province, it's just the tobacco dealers whose goods come from us. The gangs, militants, etc. involved are also a huge force, right? ?It’s just that it’s difficult to work together as a team, and there is also competition between them.”
Wang Zhengzheng said: "Yes, Commissioner, if you need it, I will compile a detailed information for you on the people and organizations in Anshan Province that have been involved with us in the past two days."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay!" He picked up the teapot and said, "Brother Zhengtong, come and drink tea!"
Wang Zhengheng was startled, and Margaret came up to take the teapot. Lu Ming smiled and said: "No, I must pour this cup of tea!"
Wang Zhengzheng hurriedly raised his glass with both hands, "Thank you for the tea, sir."
I feel extremely confused, and I really don’t know what the situation will be like in the future.
