Chapter 190: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
The ninth son of the Zeng family, a genius who was almost forgotten by people.
He has been very active recently. First, he rescued two civilians from Jingshang Mansion, and then at the racecourse, he won a round of horse racing against Zeng Baoyi's railway transportation and Lu Shaojie's water transportation.
Now he appears here again. Is he thinking that Zeng Baoyi is really a spendthrift and is going to show his fangs?
The Zeng family, whether in the past or present, should not be underestimated.
Those who had plotted against Zeng Baoyi felt somewhat guilty, some were very disdainful, and some were ready to watch the show.
While Uncle Zhang was still in deep thought, a sound came from upstairs again.
"If Mr. Lu is hesitant, my son is willing to buy the manor in Jiangnan at the price in the bet."
I thought the gambling was over and the show was over, but I didn’t expect there would be such an exciting follow-up.
All kinds of people who were originally preparing to leave stopped and waited for the follow-up results.
"Mr. Lu wants to sell those two streets, and my son is willing to buy them at the price agreed in the bet." Before he could finish his surprise, he heard the following words.
Things are developing in an unpredictable direction.
Everyone present, whether they were politicians, celebrities, businessmen or others, gasped.
The actual price of these two streets and thousands of acres of fertile land is not that much money.
The total amount on the contract was about 10 million taels of silver.
In the foreign concessions, there are only a handful of people who can afford to pay this much money.
Even fewer are willing to get involved in this farce.
Forget about the prodigal son Zeng Baoyi, he was willing to give each of his more than ten concubines a western-style house and a luxury car, so he really didn't care about those two streets.
But Lu Shaojie is a vengeful person, and everyone knows that even if the deed falls into Lu Pingsheng's hands, he may not be able to get it.
After all, the guns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in the hands of his father.
That's why Lu Pingsheng was so eager to transfer the hot potato in his hand to Uncle Zhang.
But this Cheng Yaojin who suddenly appeared out of nowhere is really hard to figure out.
People who know the business know that the prices of items in the bet are inflated. Something worth three million may be written as five million, and something worth five million may be written as fifteen hundred.
In order to get these two things, this person actually wanted to buy them at the price agreed upon in the bet. If it wasn't for Lu Pingsheng's arrangement, then he would have deserved this:
He is wealthy and has a strong background.
When Lu Pingsheng heard Xiao Qian's voice, he knew it was her. Since she was here, Uncle Zeng Bao had also arrived early.
It seemed that things were going unexpectedly smoothly. It was as if everything was helped by God.
Except for the time when he was betting on "Leopard" when he was extremely nervous, he was terrifyingly calm about what happened afterwards.
Because he had planned out all the consequences and outcomes.
He was very sure about Zeng Baoyi's reaction, Lu Shaojie's psychology, and even Zeng Baoshu's prediction that he would definitely come to the scene.
But now, he bowed to Uncle Zhang and was about to speak when he heard the old fox in front of him say:
"Since Master Lu has said so, I will obey your orders. Do you want to make the deal now?"
Lu Pingsheng also smiled and returned the greeting, but before he could say anything, Durand, who was standing next to him, got anxious and shouted:
"LUKA, you are stupid. Don't you have an old saying that the highest bidder wins? Of course it will be sold to the cute lady upstairs who paid a high price!"
Uncle Zhang's eyes fell on this stupid foreigner. He wanted to get angry, but considering Durand's identity, he felt very depressed.
But seeing Lu Pingsheng's hesitation, Uncle Zhang smiled and said:
"If Mr. Lu is willing to give up, our casino is willing to only take half of the share of the contract tonight."
Durand glared at him rudely and said bluntly:
“Is this the half of the thing?”
Uncle Zhang couldn't hold on to the smile on his face, but he still said patiently:
"It's not that I can't get rid of all of it, but I don't own this casino alone..."
Seeing Lu Pingsheng bowing and nodding to him, Xiao Qian became anxious.
Just as she was about to speak, Uncle Zeng Bao stopped her. She stamped her feet in confusion.
This Mr. Lu is also a fool. Her young master paid a lot of money, but he actually sold it to others at a low price.
"Integrity is the most important thing in life. Since Mr. Zhang is interested in buying it and shows such sincerity, I would like to thank him very much." Lu Pingsheng's attitude was very positive.
Lu Shaojie watched the two men trade his family's land and property in front of him, and he was so angry that his nostrils were hot.
He seemed to have figured something out at this moment, and suddenly looked at Uncle Zhang who was smiling at Lu Pingsheng with angry eyes.
He felt extremely strange, but suppressed his anger and waved to Lao Hong:
"go!"
The land is in Jiangnan, and the antique dealer’s nephew can’t take it away, and the boss of the Green Gang may not be able to take it away either.
A group of people carried away Lu Shaojie, who looked very murderous.
The Chinese restaurant's kitchen staff all came out to watch the fun, and Wei Miao ate happily in the empty Western restaurant.
The Western food was all laid out, and because they knew a large number of customers would come in, they put a lot of things on display.
Bread, cakes, chicken legs and wings, pork elbows and ham...
Allah's, Allah's, it's Allah's!
While Wei Miao was eating, Lu Pingsheng had already reached an agreement with Uncle Zhang and arranged a time to discuss the specific details.
Lu Pingsheng put away the antique gold in his hand and prepared to go home.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Mr. Lu, are you going to sell the two streets in your hands?"
The voice of the person shouting was soft and childish, sounding like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Lu Pingsheng looked at the name flashing before his eyes, sighed slightly, and said helplessly:
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't make the decision on these two streets."
After listening to this, Yukiko Matsui confirmed her suspicions and stopped talking.
She said, how dare an unknown little person come here to gamble.
The key is that they won in the end. How could it be possible without someone pushing them behind the scenes?
But who is the person behind this?
Uncle Zhang who bought thousands of acres of land in Jiangnan?
Or is it Zeng Jiu, the real heir of the Zeng family?
Or is it the French Consulate following Lu Pingsheng?
But no matter who he is, Lu Pinsheng is on her list. How interesting!
Matsui Yukiko raised her lips with an amused smile, turned her head and asked the person holding the camera beside her:
“Did you film it clearly from beginning to end?”
The man bowed his head respectfully before speaking:
"Ms. Yukiko, the films for both cameras have been used up, with almost no mistakes."
Matsui Yukiko covered her mouth and yawned, saying softly:
"Go back and wash it, and give it to me immediately."
"Hi!"
The man bowed his head respectfully, said "yes" and turned to leave.
Yukiko Matsui thought about the sulfa drug in Lu Pingsheng's bet, and her beautiful eyes flashed with calculation.
Sulfaamide, that's what the empire needs.
It's time to talk to my uncle and ask the garrison if they want it.
Thinking of the garrison, Yukiko Matsui's face became even gloomier. How did the Black Dragon Society's white powder ship sink in the garrison reservoir?
Those useless guys from the Special High Technology Department haven't figured out what happened yet.
