Chapter 55 Open and honest?

"Are you..." Sheng Jiashu took off the top hat on his head, leaned slightly towards Zheng Gongchao who was admiring an oil painting on the wall in the restaurant, and asked.

Zheng Gongchao turned around, looked at the seemingly harmless Sheng Jiashu in front of him, and said with a smile: "I, Zheng Gongchao, Chao Yong from the Chaozhou gang is better than an old guy who is just waiting to die."

Sheng Jiashu's mind quickly turned several times, two names flashed through his mind, and finally he said in a tentative tone: "I wonder what is the relationship between this Mr. Zheng and the two tycoons Zheng Gongwan and Zheng Gongchi?"

"It's my brother." Zheng Gongchao responded with a smile: "I take the liberty of making an appointment. Please bear with me, Mr. Sheng. Please."

Sheng Jiashu was stunned. Those well-known figures with the prefix "Chaozhou" had naturally been introduced by Xie Jingcheng, Sherlock, Moroma and even Zouguishuang. Zheng Gongchao's name was naturally no exception. However, when several Jianghu people mentioned Zheng Gongchao, they obviously all

I just briefly passed by without giving a detailed introduction. I only said that the Zheng brothers were soaring into the sky and then fell like a meteor, which made people sigh. Although this Zheng Gongchao was a gang member, he did not interfere much in the affairs of the world and just guarded the situation.

There is a big market in the country, and it is difficult to get high or low. I rely on the family fortune and connections gained by my two brothers to survive and maintain my dignity.

Even when they visited the Chaozhou gang to apologize and seek peace, Zhong Gui Shuang and others did not introduce Zheng Gongchao to Sheng Jiashu. They did not expect that today, the young but tall Zheng Gongchao would come to the door by himself.

He and Zheng Gongchao sat across from each other at an obsidian dining table by the window. Zheng Gongchao took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, struck a match with his hand, and said in a vague voice while lighting the cigarette:

"I came here this time to find out how much money Mr. Sheng wants to make from this Hetou wine?"

Sheng Jiashu stared at Zheng Gongchao with puzzled eyes. Zheng Gongchao put out the match with his hand, smiled back at Sheng Jiashu, and handed the cigarette case to Sheng Jiashu: "Have a cigarette?"

Sheng Jiashu did not pick it up. Zheng Gongchao took back the cigarette case, looked at the environment of the restaurant, and said with emotion:

"I haven't been to the Peninsula Hotel for a long time. At that time, my two brothers booked a suite here all year round."

"Mr. Zheng, what do you want to say?" Sheng Jiashu asked doubtfully, "Can Hetou wine make money?"

Zheng Gongchao nodded mockingly: "It's my fault. How can I get straight to the point when we meet for the first time? Businessmen always have to talk about business with perfunctory greetings first, and only after wandering around a few times are they willing to talk about cooperation together.

It’s my presumption, but it’s mainly because my time doesn’t allow me to make a few more appointments with you, Mr. Sheng, so I couldn’t hold myself back and said it so directly the first time we met.”

"It's not direct enough. At least I still don't understand the purpose of Mr. Zheng's visit." Sheng Jiashu smiled at Zheng Gongchao: "Could it be that Mr. Zheng came to ask questions and blamed me and Toujiu for not sending you an invitation?"

Zheng Gongchao waved his hands exaggeratedly: "Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Sheng, forget about the invitation, let's talk about things other than the banquet. In this way, let me make a long story short, that is, Dunn is in my hands, whether to go to the banquet with Toujiu or not.

,I have the final say."

Sheng Jiashu looked at Zheng Gongchao with fixed eyes, and suddenly laughed after more than ten seconds: "Mr. Zheng, what does it matter whether the first wine Dunn goes or not? Those big guys in the Chaozhou gang, just forgive me, Dunn

They will naturally persuade."

Zheng Gongchao picked up a grape from the fruit plate on the table and put it into his mouth: "Well, Mr. Sheng is right. As long as the Chaozhou gangs, big and small, deal with the elders, there is basically no conflict that cannot be reconciled. Dunn is in the Chaozhou Gang

He is not a big shot. Even if he doesn't go to Hetoujiu, he can't change the outcome of the Chaozhou Gang and Heshengtang. However, there is a problem. If Dunn doesn't go, he can take it away after Hetoujiu.

Your two million has been borrowed at such a high price. If you want me, Mr. Xin Sheng, to really pay back the money, I might as well just write in the newspaper and say that the Kuomintang is making great victories and will soon regain its lost ground."

"We are under the roof, Mr. Zheng, I think you are overthinking. I don't want to borrow money, but if I don't borrow money, I can't settle the matter. If I borrow money, I will pay it back slowly. How can He Shengtang be able to do this?"

Did something like this happen?" Sheng Jiashu said to Zheng Gongchao with a smile.

Zheng Gongchao spit out two grape seeds: "Those old guys in the Chaozhou gang must have thought that you would not pay back the debt, but most of them were tempted by your excuse. He Shengtang did not have the strength to provoke the Chaozhou people. Even if they were

If you owe a debt, you can also use the land to pay off the debt, right?"

"Mr. Zheng, do you think there is anything wrong with this reason?" Sheng Jiashu leaned forward slightly and looked at Zheng Gongchao with a curious expression.

Zheng Gongchao scratched the left side of his face in a very unattractive manner, then picked another grape and threw it into his mouth: "There is nothing wrong with it. I just figured it out by myself. Mr. Sheng, you have studied abroad and have seen the world. If anything happens,

What about the new debt-defying methods that country people like us have never seen before? So I started to observe curiously from the moment I learned about you borrowing money, and then I discovered that Mr. Sheng seemed to have a few more ghost friends today, and they were quite...

It’s so intimate that I have to go to the pier to greet him in person.”

"I studied abroad, isn't it normal to have a few ghost friends?" The smile on Sheng Jiashu's face became stronger and he lowered his voice and said.

Zheng Gongchao spit out the grape seeds and nodded seriously: "Yes, Mr. Sheng studied abroad. Isn't it natural to have ghost friends? But those old guys didn't expect this."

Seeing Sheng Jiashu still looking at him, Zheng Gongchao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands as a matter of course: "I am different from them. I have thought about this. People in this rural place in Hong Kong have never seen much of the world. They are afraid of officials, bandits, and ghosts.

"

He stared into Sheng Jiashu's eyes, with an exaggerated expression on his face, and asked: "Is that right?"

Sheng Jiashu chuckled and nodded towards Zheng Gongchao: "Mr. Zheng is right. Those ghost friends of mine are all from Chicago Law School. They are here to help me solve some small problems, such as whether loan sharking is legal.

Debt, do you need to repay high interest rates?”

Zheng Gongchao sighed, lowered his head to look at the grapes in the fruit plate, and then looked up at Sheng Jiashu: "It seems that Mr. Sheng doesn't believe me after saying so much. Why don't you find a bunch of ghost guys to start a lawsuit with a bunch of charlatans?"

?Isn’t that a waste of time? So I guess those four ghost guys are your assassins and are preparing to kill you and have a banquet with you. "

"Why do you think so?" Sheng Jiashu always looked at Zheng Gongchao with a smile, even though Zheng Gongchao had already revealed his thoughts.

Zheng Gongchao responded with a bright smile towards Sheng Jiashu: "Because I was planning to do this, but I didn't expect that you, Mr. Sheng, would take the lead. With such a big plate of fat, either I have a share, or..."

Before Zheng Gongchao finished speaking, Sheng Jiashu reached out and held down Zheng Gongchao's right hand that was reaching for the fruit plate: "I'll give you a share."

Zheng Gongchao slowly retracted his hand, scratched his face and looked at Sheng Jiashu, smacking his tongue: "I agreed so quickly, but now I'm a little scared. No wonder I have to hesitate several times before telling the truth when doing business. It feels like being open and honest when we first meet.

,not too good."
