Anti war ranger

Chapter 22
Lu Yuan casually walked into the Rose Bar. Hansen at the bar first winked at Lu Yuan secretly, and then gave instructions to the bartender standing beside him. "Boris, I'm going to the back to smoke a cigarette. I'll leave it to you first. If I find out that you've stolen my drink, you'll see me." Hansen ordered, left the bar and went to the back of the bar. And Lu Yuan will follow in the past willingly.

In Hansen's office, Lu Yuan took the wine glass handed by Hansen, raised his head and poured the whiskey in the glass into his mouth.After Hansen lit a cigar and took a few puffs, he smiled at Lu Yuan, "Hoffman came back and told me, are you going to do it tonight? Lu, this time it's a big deal, and the price offered by the other party doesn't count." Low, almost [-]% of the total value of that batch of smoke and soil." Hansen's words made Zhao Lei's eyes light up, but Lu Yuan held back from asking Hansen.

The opium that Hansen mentioned was the new product that the Japanese firm had just bought. The opium in Shanghai was uncooked opium, which was processed from the juice cut from the poppy capsule, and there were many opium in this era There are few names, such as opium, a lotus, foreign medicine, local medicine, smoke soil, opium, etc. The most common name is "red soil", and some people call it "fushou ointment". Most of the smoke soil that appears in China is Came across the ocean from India.

Dust is absolutely valuable in Shanghai, sometimes even more expensive than gold. Especially in the early Republic of China, many warlords used it as money to buy arms, because it could be worth hard currency and had more purchasing power than money.The common Indian smoked soil in Shanghai is generally divided into two types. The one officially sold by the Indian government is called "Xiaotu", also known as "Baipi", "Xiaoyangyao" and "Giligeda". Each box is 160 catties, about 200 yuan to [-] yuan.

The products sold by British officials in India are called "big soil", "red soil" and "dayang medicine", or "gongban", "stabbing class" and "gu". Each box costs 40 yuan and weighs 120 catties.Other miscellaneous brands include "Xinshan", "Red Meat", "Golden Flower", etc., and those produced in Yunnan and Guizhou in China are called "Yuntu".Apart from the merchants from various countries in the concession, the smoke and soil trade in Shanghai is gangsters. Zhao Lei knew that once he got involved with smoke and soil, it would be tantamount to putting himself in danger.

But at present, the two most lucrative businesses in the black market in Shanghai are firearms and tobacco. If he wants to earn a lot of money in a short period of time, the business Hansen introduced must continue. "It's better to do this kind of thing sooner rather than later. I've found a few helpers. After finishing the deal, they will leave Shanghai with the money. They will definitely not cause trouble for us." Lu Yuan thought for a while before making a plan of action Tell Hansen about it. .

Hansen was very satisfied with Lu Yuan's decision and attitude. For a long time, Hansen hadn't been able to see through the details of the young man in front of him, but the more this happened, the more Hansen liked Lu Yuan, otherwise he wouldn't Will introduce this business to Lu Yuan. "The person who came to me to do this business was a Chinese. I also asked 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 seems to be 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 the moment he needs money very much, facing such an opportunity to get a lot of money, Lu Yuan will never give up, even if this business will endanger himself s life. "Mr. Hansen, thank you very much for your kind reminder. I will keep your advice firmly in my heart. But you also know that I need money very much recently. I will not give up such an opportunity to make a lot of money. .Compared with dying of starvation or disease, maybe I would rather die at gunpoint."

"Well, I know there is no way to persuade you to change your mind. This is the warehouse's phone number. I asked Huffman to arrange someone to wait in the warehouse. After you get it, send the goods to the warehouse. After you're done, you just go back Rest at home, and Huffman's people will handle the goods and trucks." Hansen looked at Lu Yuan blankly, and handed Lu Yuan a note with a phone number, as well as the keys of two cars.

He opened the piece of paper in his hand and took a closer look. After remembering the phone number, Lu Yuan burned the piece of paper in front of Hansen. "Hello, I'm a friend of Mr. Huffman. I heard that you have a warehouse for rent?" After obtaining Hansen's consent, Lu Yuan called the other party on the phone in Hansen's office. People at the top end would never know that Lu Yuan was just a teenager.

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

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

"It's easy to talk about. I will tell you the address of the warehouse. You can come to my warehouse for inspection at any time." The person on the other end of the phone is very generous, and directly agreed to Lu Yuan's request. Of course, this is also Huffman's early morning It's a well-arranged program.

After getting the address of the so-called warehouse on the phone, Lu Yuan froze for a moment, then ended the call with Dealing in a steady voice. "Mr. Hansen, this business is not easy to do, and the location of the warehouse is not good." Passing the note recording the address of the warehouse to Hansen, Lu Yuan grabbed the cigarette from Hansen's desk very familiarly. He lit himself a cigarette. "I know this place. It's mostly a secret hideout for gangsters to hide cigarettes. I heard that gangsters in Shanghai are very rampant. They like to throw people who snatch their cigarette business from them into the Huangpu River to grow lotus."

Planting lotus flowers is a common tactic 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 he half-closed his eyes and smiled when he heard the ambiguity in Lu Yuan's words. He looked at Lu Yuan. "Lu, if you want to make a lot of money in a place like Shanghai, you must not let go of any opportunity. This time is a good opportunity. Maybe you can buy a house in the concession before next week. That way you don’t have to rent an apartment from a White Russian.”

Half of what Hansen said was a joke, and the other half was a threat, because he had vaguely pointed out Lu Yuan's current residence. "Mr. Hansen, I thought we were friends. 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 him. Hansen, there was no timidity or panic in his eyes. After staring at Hansen for more than ten seconds, Lu Yuan suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Hansen, maybe you don't believe me very much, but I want to say that since I have promised you to take over this business, I will definitely get what you want. So, you don't have to test me anymore, If you don't regard me as your friend, then treat me as a passer-by." For the danger Hansen said, Lu Yuan had already been mentally prepared, because no matter who owned the smoke , once Lu Yuan robs them, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties.

He and Hansen had clarified their words, so Lu Yuan had no intention of staying in the bar any longer. After casually exchanging a few words with Hansen, Lu Yuan got up to say goodbye and leave. "Old Xu, who among you is familiar with Shiliupu Pier?" According to the prompt 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 address of the warehouse was at Shiliupu Wharf. Xu Huanshan was an old Shanghai underground party, so he naturally knew that place.After hearing Xu Huanshan's explanation, Lu Yuan finally knew that Shiliupu Wharf, also known as Ningshao Wharf, is a wharf commonly used by merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Lu Yuan didn't know whether this business was related to the Zhejiang merchants in Shanghai, but He has already taken over the business from Hansen, and in the next time, he must make some preparations for this business.

"Old Xu, take the person who can drive the truck first. Get the truck ready and drive to this place, and everyone else will follow me." Lu Yuan handed the key to one of the cars to Xu Huanshan, and then took the truck with him. The remaining 2 people drove away in another car.Lu Yuan and the others drove the car carefully around the Japanese firm that Hansen mentioned a few times, and after confirming that there were no so-called nails around the firm, Lu Yuan parked the car on the street in the backyard of the firm with confidence. .

"The two of you didn't see the signal from me, so you can only stay in the car. If you hear gunshots or explosions, you should drive away immediately. Remember, wait for Lao Xu and the others to drive over in the truck You have to see the signal from me before approaching that door." After carefully explaining to the two people who stayed in the car, Lu Yuan, who got out of the car, looked left and right first, and then ran quickly to the fence in the backyard of the business , With just one jump, Lu Yuan's hands were already clinging to the wall.

Clinging to the wall with both hands, Lu Yuan leaned his head over the wall with his arms, and saw no abnormalities on the left and right, Lu Yuan then forced himself to climb up 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 turned into the yard of the firm, the two people sitting in the car secretly pulled out the pistols from the holsters under their armpits. They had already made preparations in advance to meet Lu Yuan.
