Lu Yuan casually walked into the Rose Bar, and Hansen in the bar first glanced at Lu Yuanxian, and then instructed the bartender standing beside him. "Boris, I'm going to go to the back for a cigarette, I'll leave it to you first, if I know that you stole my wine, you look good." Han Sen commanded, left the bar and went to the back of the bar, while Lu Yuan followed knowingly.

In Hansen's office, Lu Yuan took the wine glass handed by Hansen, tilted his head and poured the whiskey in the glass into his mouth. Hansen lit a cigar and took a few puffs before smiling at Lu Yuan, "Hoffman came back to tell me, are you going to do it tonight?" Lu, this time it was a big deal, and the price given by the other party was not low, almost seventy percent of the total value of that batch of tobacco. Han Sen's words made Zhao Lei's eyes light up, but Lu Yuan couldn't help but didn't ask Han Sen.

The tobacco soil that Hansen said is the new goods that the Japanese trading house has just entered, and the tobacco in Shanghai is unboiled opium, which is processed from the juice of the poppy capsule, and there are many names in this era, such as opium, hibiscus, foreign medicine, soil medicine, tobacco, tobacco, tobacco, etc., the most common name is "red soil", and some people call it "Fushou ointment", and most of the tobacco soil in China is from India across the ocean.

Tobacco is an absolutely valuable thing in Shanghai, and sometimes it is even more expensive than gold, especially in the early days of the Republic of China, many warlords used tobacco as money to buy arms, because tobacco can be worth hard currency, and it has more purchasing power than money. The common Indian tobacco soil in Shanghai is generally divided into two kinds, which are officially sold by the Indian government called "small soil", also known as "white skin", "small foreign medicine", and "pimple in the pimple", each box is 100 catties, about 160 to 200 pieces.

The British officials in India sold them called "big soil", "red soil", "big ocean medicine", or "public class", "thorn class", "aunt", each box of 40 yuan, weighing 120 catties. The rest of the miscellaneous brands are "New Mountain", "Red Meat", "Golden Flower" and so on, and the domestic production in Yunnan and Guizhou is called "Yuntu". In addition to the merchants from various countries in the concession, Shanghai's tobacco trade is a gangster, and Zhao Lei knows that once he has anything to do with tobacco, it is equivalent to putting himself in danger.

However, at present, the two most profitable businesses in Shanghai's black market, in addition to arms and tobacco, if you want to make a lot of money in a short period of time, the business introduced by Hansen must be continued. "This kind of thing should be sooner rather than later, I found a few helpers, and after this deal, a few of them will leave Shanghai with the money, and they will definitely not cause us trouble." Lu Yuan thought about it a little, and then said a plan of action to Hansen.

Lu Yuan's decision and attitude made Han Sen very satisfied, all along, Han Sen has not been able to see through the details of the young man in front of him, but the more this is the case, the more Han Sen has a good impression of Lu Yuan, otherwise he would not have introduced this business to Lu Yuan. "It was a Chinese who came to me to do this business, and I also looked for someone to check, but I couldn't find out who the boss behind the Chinese was. But I want to advise you first, money can never be earned, some money looks nothing, but the risks behind it are fatal. ”

For Hansen's kind reminder, Lu Yuan can only express his gratitude in his heart, but at present, he needs money very much, and in the face of such an opportunity to get a lot of money, Lu Yuan will definitely not give up, even if this business will endanger his life. "Thank you very much, Mr. Hansen, for your kind reminder, and I will take your advice to heart. But as you know, I've been in dire need of money lately, and I'm not going to give up on such an opportunity to make a lot of money. Rather than starving to death or dying of disease, perhaps, I would rather die at gunpoint. ”

"Alright then, I know there's no way to convince you to change your mind, here's the phone from the warehouse, and I asked Huffman to arrange for someone to wait in the warehouse. Once you've got it, take it to the warehouse, and when you're done, you just go home and rest, and Hefman's men will take care of the goods and the trucks. Hansen looked at Lu Yuan expressionlessly, and handed Lu Yuan a note with a phone number written on it, as well as the keys to two cars.

After opening the paper in his hand and taking a closer look at it, and remembering the phone number, Lu Yuan burned the paper in front of Hansen. "Hello, I'm a friend of Mr. Huffman, and I heard that you have a warehouse for rent?" After obtaining Hansen's consent, Lu Yuan used the phone in Hansen's office to call the other party, and the person on the other end of the phone would not know that Lu Yuan was just a teenager.

"Yes, yes, there is a warehouse for rent, may I ask who you are?" The person on the other end of the phone was very cautious, although Lu Yuan had already mentioned Huffman's name, but the other party still made a formulaic answer. Lu Yuan was no longer an ignorant teenager, and he didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone was acting cautiously, so he casually made up a name and said it to the other party, and then he also went straight to the topic and asked what he wanted to know in advance.

"Sir, I would like to know if I can go and see your warehouse tonight?"

"This is easy to say, I will tell you the address of the warehouse, and you can come to my warehouse at any time to investigate." The person on the other end of the phone was very generous and directly agreed to Lu Yuan's request, of course, this was also a procedure arranged by Huffman early in the morning.

got the address of the so-called warehouse on the phone, Lu Yuan first froze for a moment, and then ended the call with a smooth voice. "Mr. Hansen, this business is not very easy to do, and the location of that warehouse is not good." Handing the note recording the address of the warehouse to Hansen, Lu Yuan was very familiar with the cigarette case from Hansen's desk and lit a cigarette for himself. "I know this place, there are many secret dens where gangsters hide tobacco, I heard that gangs in Shanghai are very rampant, and they like to throw people who rob their tobacco business into the Huangpu River to plant lotuses."

Planting lotus flowers is a common trick used by local gangsters in Shanghai to deal with traitors or opponents, how could Hansen, who has lived in Shanghai for more than ten years, not know that when he heard Lu Yuan's words reveal a vague taste, he looked at Lu Yuan with half-squinted eyes and a smile. "Lu, if you want to make a lot of money in a place like Shanghai, you can't let go of any opportunity. This is a good opportunity, maybe not next week, you will be able to buy a house in the concession, so that you don't have to rent an apartment for a White Russian. ”

Hansen's words were half a joke, and the other half was a threat, because he had already faintly pointed out Lu Yuan's current residence. "Mr. Hansen, I thought we were friends, and friends shouldn't peep into each other's privacy." Lu Yuan's answer was also tactful, but when he said these words, Lu Yuan's eyes kept staring at Han Sen, and there was no timidity or panic in his eyes, so after staring at Han Sen for more than ten seconds, Lu Yuan suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Hansen, you may not believe me very much, but I will say that since I have promised you to take this business, I will definitely get what you want. So, you don't have to test me anymore, and if you don't see me as your friend, then think of me as a passerby. For the danger that Han Sen said, Lu Yuan had actually been mentally prepared for a long time, because no matter who owned that batch of tobacco soil, once Lu Yuan robbed them, it would inevitably attract the attention of all parties.

He and Hansen had already made it clear, and Lu Yuan had no intention of continuing to stay in the bar, and after casually greeting Hansen, Lu Yuan got up and said goodbye and left. "Lao Xu, is any of you familiar with the Sixteen Pu Wharf?" According to the tips given by Hansen before leaving the bar, Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan and others quickly found the two cars used for action.

The person on the other end of the phone told Lu Yuan that the warehouse address was at the Sixteen Pu Wharf, and Xu Huanshan was an old Shanghai underground party, so he naturally knew that place. After listening to Xu Huanshan's explanation, Lu Yuan knew that the Sixteen Pu Wharf, also known as Ningshao Wharf, is a wharf commonly used by merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Lu Yuan did not know whether this business was related to the Zhejiang merchants in Shanghai, but he had already taken over this business from Hansen, and in the next time, he had to make some preparations for this business.

"Lao Xu, you take the people who can drive the truck first, the prepared truck will drive to this place, and the others will follow me." Lu Yuan handed over the keys to one of the cars to Xu Huanshan, and then drove away with the remaining two people in another car. Lu Yuan and the three of them drove the car carefully around the Japanese trading house that Han Sen said a few times, and after confirming that there were no so-called nails around the trading house, Lu Yuan was relieved to park the car on the side of the street in the backyard of the commercial house.

"You two didn't see my signal, so you stayed in the car and drove away if you heard a gunshot or an explosion. Remember, they can't get close to the door until they come in a truck and see the signal I'm giving you. After carefully explaining the two people left in the car, Lu Yuan, who came out of the car, first looked left and right a few times, and then quickly ran to the wall in the backyard of the commercial house.

Climbing the wall with both hands, Lu Yuan forced his head to poke over the wall with both arms, and saw no abnormalities left and right, Lu Yuan immediately forced himself to climb over the wall, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan who was climbing on the wall disappeared. Seeing that Lu Yuan, who was dressed in black, had already turned into the courtyard of the trading house, the two people sitting in the car secretly pulled out the pistol in the holster under their armpits, and they were ready to meet Lu Yuan in advance.
