Chapter 578: The Change of the Righteous Faith Society
Du Mansion, the study on the second floor, the atmosphere is a little depressing.
"Boss Du, in recent days, our banknotes have been more and more unable to be exchanged, and the newspaper has published the identification method of counterfeit banknotes, and now whether it is a gambling stall, a big smoke house or a fireworks room, they are very vigilant about five and ten yuan of fiat currency, and some even announced that they will not accept fiat currency." Fu Biao was the first to say.
"Underground banks and banks with Chongqing background have also begun to inspect the stored fiat currency, especially the relatively new fiat currency, once they find counterfeit money, they will refuse to accept it, and even call the police to arrest people, and several of my brothers have already folded it in." The kidnapper also chimed in, exchanging counterfeit money for real money, which was smooth at first, but since it broke in the newspapers, it has become more and more difficult.
Once the arrested person confesses, the patrol of the concession will come to the door, and it will be a big trouble, and the crime of disrupting the financial and economic order of the concession will not be able to escape.
"How much fiat do we have left?"
"There are about 200,000 that have been exchanged, and there are still 800,000 that have not been exchanged." Asako, who was in charge of the accounts, replied.
"So we still have four-fifths left to redeem?" Du Haipeng's face fell, the first batch he got from Kodama Yu Yves was one million fake fiat currency, no matter how much he could exchange, one hundred fiat currency, at least sixty yuan to Kodama, and this batch of fiat currency, he also advanced 200,000 yuan.
And there is a loss in the exchange, almost 2340,000 counterfeit banknotes can finally be exchanged for 200,000 real banknotes, and the people under their hands have to pay hard money, and after calculation, the final bag of 100 legal currency is about 75 yuan.
Fifteen percent of the net profit, although it is not a windfall profit, but if it continues to be profitable like this, it is also quite considerable, after all, there is no cost, it is nothing more than the consumption of some manpower and time.
But now, it is obviously impossible, if you continue to exchange, you may not only expose yourself, but also lose more and more, and this is an illegal business in itself, and if you are caught, you will go to jail.
There is no profit, there is still a loss of money, and there is a high risk of being arrested and imprisoned at any time, who wants to do such a business?
"Boss Du, this business is too risky, so don't do it." Fu Biao clearly expressed his attitude and raised objections.
"I agree with Fu Biao's opinion, stop this business, and we have a lot of money-making business?" Hu Sanniang followed.
"I agree." The kidnapper also raised his hand, he has always advanced and retreated with Fu Biao.
Mazi bowed his head and kept silent, the iron head has always been Du Haipeng's head, six people, there have been three votes to oppose, at least one more person is against it, even if Du Haipeng insists, I am afraid that this business will not be able to continue.
"Mazi, you say?" Du Haipeng named Mazi.
"Boss, I think what Fu Biao said makes sense......" Mazi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said with a sigh of expectation.
Four to two!
Du Haipeng's face turned black all of a sudden, and he didn't even support his most trusted pockmark, what should he do next?
Is it just a stop?
How did Kodama Yu Yves explain it?
He originally wanted to use this business to take back the power of the Yixin Society from the hands of Fu Biao, and now the Yi Xin Society, in addition to the strength of the dock, the most profitable business is in the hands of Fu Biao.
Even if he asked Mazi to take care of the accounts, he saw that the money handed over by Fu Biao and Hu Sanniang every month was getting less and less, and sometimes he even delayed it for various reasons.
However, he knew that Fu Biao was constantly buying shops and real estate, and he also bought a garden house on Luban Road in the French Concession, which belonged to a bankrupt Nanyang businessman.
"Haipeng, our family background is not thick, Fu Biao has recently made a few more venues in Zhabei, as well as my song and dance hall, the equipment is old, and it should be renovated well, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer guests......" Hu Sanniang chattered while repairing her nails.
"Mr. Yu is not an ordinary person, if we stop this business, have you thought about the consequences?" Du Haipeng said in a deep voice.
"Boss, when Mr. Kodama talked to us about business, there was no such thing as now, so we can't put money in it, right?" Qian Biao said dissatisfiedly, "I was against this business at the beginning, don't look at his good profits, but the risk is also big, once this counterfeit banknote is folded in his own hands, it is a pile of waste paper, you also sign a million in one go, according to my meaning, first get a dozen or two hundred thousand to try the water, and then talk about it." ”
"Ah Biao, didn't you say that at the beginning?" Du Haipeng didn't speak, but the iron-headed urn came out angrily.
Don't look at the iron mind is not very good, but his memory is still not bad, who has said something, as long as he cares, he can remember.
"Iron Head, are you mistaken?" Fu Biao snorted coldly, the iron head is Du Haipeng's iron core, if he wants to eradicate Du Haipeng to take the position, then the iron head is the first to be removed.
"Seniors, I would like to introduce someone to everyone." Du Haipeng suddenly changed his words, raised his hand, and slapped twice.
The door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and Hong Si, dressed in formal clothes, walked in from the outside.
"Hong Si, come, I've met a few uncles and elders." Seeing Hong Si, Du Haipeng showed a smile on his face, he knew that Hong Si's identity was not simple.
A boss who has been in the underworld for many years, he is still very accurate in looking at people, but now he doesn't have too many choices, he dies, the Du family is defeated, or give it a fight, maybe he can give the Du family a different future?
"Hong Si has seen Uncle Biao, Uncle Abduction, Uncle Tietou, and Aunt Hu." Hong Si walked in and saluted the four people sitting on the sofa one by one.
"Boss Du, who is this?" Fu Biao had never seen Hong Si, so he asked with a slight frown.
"I'll introduce, Hong Si, born at the dock, but he is different from those coolies, he went to the dock to beg for a life because his hometown was affected by a disaster and was penniless. Du Haipeng introduced.
"What, Boss Du, isn't this Fourth Brother Hong going to be your son-in-law?" Fu Biao's face changed slightly, he was only in his early thirties, and he had always had intentions for Du Wanxin, but whenever Du Haipeng took a fancy to the person who went to measure the eight characters, he ordered someone to quietly destroy it.
If you can't destroy it, you can find a way to abolish it.
Du Haipeng wanted to find a son-in-law who had no heels, and he didn't dare to provoke those who were strong, lest Du Wanxin would not be able to control it in the future, so Fu Biao was repeatedly successful.
Suddenly, a Hong Si appeared, which caught him off guard.
"Yes, I plan to let Wanxin get engaged to Hong Si, this is the second thing I called everyone here tonight to discuss, what should I do with this engagement banquet, is it a big deal, or everything is simple, you are all the elders of Wanxin and Hong Si, I have to listen to you." Du Haipeng smiled.
"Boss Du, do you know all about Hong Si's past?" Mourning Biao's color, the crutch immediately understood, and asked in a hurry.
"Of course, Hong Si is a native of Tonglu, Anhui Province, and he was originally a solid family, but he offended the authorities, was slandered for fornicating with the Japanese, and his family property was confiscated for the crime of traitor, and his family was reduced to the streets, and his parents died of hatred one after another, and he was alone, because he had studied in Shanghai...... Du Haipeng said.
"I was still a student, how did I get to the point of working as a coolie on the docks?" Fu Biao snorted, obviously without disdain.
In that sentence, it is clear that a scholar is mixed up to the point of selling coolies, what ability can he have, worthy of Du Wanxin?
"After I arrived in Shanghai, I ran out of entanglements, and fell seriously ill, in order to pay off the medical expenses I owed, I could only find a job to support myself, I had no capital, and I had no connections, so I could only start from the bottom of the coolie." Hong Si explained neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Since you have studied, isn't it easier to work in a factory or get an errand in a foreign bank?" Hu Sanniang asked.
"When I was sick, I pawned everything I could do, and I was dressed in rags at that time, which factory would ask for a beggar?" Hong Si asked rhetorically.
"Then how are you so gracious, she wouldn't be friends with someone like you?" Hu Sanniang asked, "Or are you deliberately clinging to our boss and deceiving her with rhetoric to achieve your ulterior motives?" ”
"Hu Sanniang, when I met Miss Wanxin, I didn't know her identity at all, so how could I talk about what ulterior motives I wanted to achieve?" Hong Si asked rhetorically.
"Yes, who can prove it?" The kidnapper screamed weirdly.
Hong Si smiled and did not refute it, this kind of question, the more you explain, the easier it is to fall into the other party's routine, it is better not to say anything.
Anyway, no matter what they say, these people have already presupposed, and they won't believe it.
"Abductor, Wanxin is my daughter, and I am such a daughter, will I choose a son-in-law to pit my own daughter?" Du Haipeng snorted coldly, he couldn't help it for a long time.
"Boss Du, it's no problem for you to choose a son-in-law for Wanxin, but after a hundred years, who will hand over the position of the leader of the Yixin Society, and it will be difficult to hand it over to him?" The kidnapper pointed at Hong Si and asked.
"Abductor, what nonsense are you talking about, the boss is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, are you cursing the boss to die early?" Fu Biao pretended to scold.
"That's what I said, everyone knows that Boss Du's purpose in finding a husband for Miss Wanxin is to pass on the throne to him in the future." The kidnapper snorted.
Du Haipeng's face was pale, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was stopped by Hong Si: "Uncle, uncles, let me ask more, is the position of the leader of the Yixin Society hereditary, or can it only be sat by Boss Du or someone designated by Boss Du?" ”
Not only did Du Haipeng's face change, but even Fu Biao became solemn.
Who dares to say yes, and who dares to say no?
"Uncle, I know that you and your uncles have worked hard to build a foundation, and I also hope that future generations can inherit and carry forward, the position of the leader of the Yixin Society, in addition to righteousness, but also have both ability and political integrity, and those who can live in it, so that the Yixin Society can be passed on, I don't know if what I said is reasonable?" Hong Silang said.
As soon as these words came out, Du Haipeng's face became even darker, whether the son-in-law he chose was here to help him, or did he deliberately come to dismantle the stage.
But Fu Biao's heart blossomed, this Hong Si said what he wanted to say, but he couldn't say it to his face, didn't that tell everyone that he had the ambition to replace Du Haipeng again?
Although this is a blatant thing.
