Longqi 1924

Chapter 369 Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles

For the strength of Zhongyitang, Hu Dajia has secretly evaluated it more than once, but after every contact, he always wants to overturn the previous impression.

After several such useless efforts, Hu Dajia understood that Zhongyitang's situation can only explain one problem, that is, Zhongyitang's continuous rapid growth. And this amazing growth rate is by no means a rival to their own traditional community power. Maybe they are really doing something according to that kind of formal thing.

Hu Da's head often sighs that he is really more popular than others. Zhongyitang has a vague posture of jumping over the dragon gate, but he is still complacent about the harvest of this acre of land. This gap is clear at a glance. Everyone started almost at the same time, but now they are already clearly backward, which is really embarrassing.

"Brother Chen, just tell me if there is anything, but there is nothing we can do!" Hu Dajia is not the kind of person who drags the mud and water. He pats his chest and agrees without asking anything.

"Thank you, Brother Hu, but my goal this time is the British..." Chen Jiaju stopped talking. Obviously, he was leaving room for Hu to think.

With a "pop", the second brother next to him slapped the table, stood up and shouted, "Okay! I've been looking down on these British for a long time. Now I have a chance to deal with them. It's really great!"

Chen Jiaju raised his eyebrows gently and looked at Hu Da's head.

Hu Da's face is also mixed with joys and sorrows: "Well, it's naturally gratifying to be able to deal with these powerful ghosts, but... I don't know, Brother Chen, what's your plan?"

"Of course there is a plan! It's just that some places are quite difficult, so I'm looking for you guys!" Chen Jiaju smiled mysteriously. With the help of Fujian, his plan seemed to be much smoother.

Night

There is a lot of traffic on the Orchard Road in Singapore. This deformed colonial market economic boom is also rare in the wild land of Nanyang. Perhaps this is why the British have always been arrogant in this eastern world. They will certainly say that only their so-called Western civilization can build these barren lands into a prosperous city where the East and West meet in just a few decades.

It's just that these colonists seem to have forgotten that when they did not take advantage of the power of ships to come to this eastern world, people here have long had their own way of life, and they have the same dignity and elegance that Westerners are even to be.

After the robber occupied other people's home and dressed up a little, he said that the family was his own, and attributed all the achievements of the construction of the home to himself. This kind of robber logic is simply speechless.

So the well-dressed so-called gentlemen of the British Empire can be seen everywhere in Singapore.

Mike, with a gloomy face, opened the door of the most famous bar on Orchard Road, glanced at the bad situation of the bar, and found a corner and sat down. Mike, who was in a bad mood, took off his hat and put it on the small table. He took out a cigar from his arms and spit it up. The bright and dark flashing light of the cigar could reflect his mood at this time.

It has been two days since I got the news that the cargo ship was missing yesterday. Mike inquired through various channels that there was no decent result, but there were bursts of ridiculations from his own counterparts.

That's right. How big should Singapore be? This good thing doesn't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. In a word, in a short period of time, almost everything should be known.

At this time, Mike was not so calm in front of everyone. He knew that if there was only an accident with an ordinary cargo ship, he would lose some money at most. It was no big deal.

But the goods this time can't see the light. Not only is it difficult to explain the tons of arms once they are exposed, but the smoil of the private goods carried is also a time bomb. If something fails, it's a small matter that your reputation is damaged. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this good life in Nanyang anymore!

Mike was worried about smoking a cigar. In a short time, there was already a cloud and fog around him, which made others frown. Where did such an unqualified guy come from? It's really unreasonable!

Taking out his pocket watch, Mike frowned and sighed. He was thinking, what a torment!

With the sound of Ding Ling, the door of the bar was gently pushed open. A white man in a black tweed coat, holding a civilized stick often carried by the so-called gentlemen of this era. He stood at the door and looked around the bar and walked steadily in the direction of Mike.

Seeing this person, Mike was secretly happy, showed a rare smile, and got up to greet him warmly.

The two shook hands warmly and sat down easily.

After the waiter next to him served two glasses of beer, Mike asked impatiently, "David, how about it? Is there any news from China?

David said in a serious voice, "I'm afraid something is wrong. There is no news from China, that is to say, this shipment is likely to have an accident on the way!"

Mike's heart twitched, my God, what are you really afraid of!

David took the cigar handed over by Mike and thought, "If this batch of goods has an accident during transportation, it is nothing more than these two situations: First, there seems to be a great possibility of encountering a typhoon. At that time, the goods were very urgent. Just two days after departure, there was news of a typhoon passing in the South China Sea!"

Mike's heart softened a little, and his eyes narrowed, "Is this second possibility a man-made factor?"

With a long smoke ring, David gently rubbed his temple and said, "In this way, things will be complicated. Let alone how strict the plan is for our actions. It's hard to say whether the other party accidentally bumped into this batch of goods or deliberately targeted us!"

Gently patted the table, and Mike said angrily, "Yes, since I got this news yesterday, I have inquired about it. Judging from the current situation, it seems that no one in this port knows this regard. What's more, I really can't imagine which force dares to take food from our hands!"

For a moment of silence, Mike looked up at David and said word, "David, think of a countermeasure quickly. This matter cannot be underestimated. If someone really comes to us with this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Uh-huh," David agreed, "The question now is, if the other party really has the intention to target us, once this batch of goods is in their hands, how will it become our tool for the other party?"
