The journey starts from the Titanic

But it is not easy to deliver this precious piece of wood to Song's house safely.Although red sandalwood is precious, if it can be changed, Situ Nan's computer, or a book, or a radio that is not so scary will do.

Seeing Situ Nan's firm eyes, Song Ziwen somehow lost the courage to refuse that he had just hesitated.

"Or, to him, this is nothing!" Song Ziwen found a reason for himself.

But the courtesy is for others, you must ask for something.What does he want?

Song Ziwen thought to himself.

In addition, there are many other antique masterpieces by Lin Lin, but none of them shocked Song Ziwen more than that pile of red sandalwood.

After strolling around the William, Song Ziwen felt that his legs were a little tired.

After having lunch on the boat, he and Situ Nan sat on the deck, watching the Huangpu River, drinking and chatting, having a great time.

"Ziwen, have you ever thought that one day in the future, you will fight for hegemony in Shanghai?!" Situ Nan asked suddenly.

"What? Fighting for hegemony on the beach?" Song Ziwen looked back. Situ Nan was filled with blue smoke. It was the scent of cigar. Some of them couldn't see Situ Nan's expression, and he hesitated for a while.

"Yes! Did you see the Taikoo Wharf in front? Did you see the arrogant Japanese shipping company on the other side? Only by doing like them can the Song family be qualified to become a hegemon in Shanghai."

Situ Nan spewed out another blue smoke, his words sounded a little real absurd to Song Ziwen.

"This is too unrealistic! Mr. Situ. Ziwen knows himself." Song Ziwen replied calmly.

Are you kidding me?What is the Song family's ability to compete with foreign capital such as Swire and Mitsubishi?

There is a big difference in terms of capital and technology. The most important thing is that there is no government protection. Foreign investment has too many advantages in policies. It can completely defeat Chinese companies through dumping or other privileges.And what does the Song family have now?

Song Ziwen's idea of ​​saving the country by industry is not without him, but he is more realistic.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant, it's up to people. Thirty years in Hedong and Hexi in 30 years. Fengshui turns around. As long as you have a strong heart, you will always achieve something. I have always believed that there are more solutions than problems. You have this potential. The Song family has this potential!"

Situ Nan seemed to understand Song Ziwen's thoughts and encouraged.In order to expand the influence of the United States and China in Shanghai and occupy a larger market, in addition to its own efforts, it also needs to cultivate some powerful allies.

"Thank you. For your words! I will rely on Mr. Situ to take care of me in the future." Song Ziwen smiled, a little like climbing up the pole.

I thought: Since Situ Nan is so enthusiastic, his attitude should also be more positive. It doesn't cost much to express his attitude anyway.

The scent of tobacco in the air made Song Ziwen feel energetic, watching the rolling Huangpu River, his heart agitated.

Chapter 104 Song Ziwen and Han Yeping

"Shiliyangchang, several storms. A tidal flat at the port of the Yangtze River has become a world magic capital after half a century of Kaifu."

Situ Nan couldn't help but sigh at the surging Huangpu River.

"Mad City?" Song Ziwen felt that the word was a bit new.

"Yes! Although I came to Shanghai for the first time, I already knew that this is a city of demons dancing around. It has both the most modern civilization and the darkest and ignorant brutality. Like magic, no matter how big the water of the Huangpu River is, Can't wash away the dirt on the beach."

Situ Nan exhaled.

"Haha. The mud and stones are all down." Song Ziwen nodded, he was used to it.

At this time, a small steamer was passing by William, spraying thick black smoke, and the light figure was driving quickly into the inner harbor.

This kind of ship has a small tonnage, hundreds to thousands of tons, and is mainly used as a barge. Large ocean-going cargo ships cannot enter the narrow river port and have to rely on barges.

"That should be the opium boat?" Situ Nan sneered.Because he saw that the flag on the small steamer was written in large characters like Sanxin Company. The small steamer had just finished connecting with a French ship.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Situ also knew about this. They were indeed opium ships. Because French ships did not directly transport opium into the concession, they were transported to the pier controlled by the Green Gang through these small ships. This is an open secret in Shanghai. People and Japanese have done the same, and the most arrogant one is the Japanese."

Song Ziwen spit into the sea in disgust.He is a serious businessman, and he doesn't want to but dare not directly confront the three big three of the Green Gang, Huang, Du and Zhang.

"That's why I said the magic city! Actually, I have seen a lot of these things when I was in Guangzhou and Hong Kong." Situ Nan smiled faintly, his smile a little bitter.

He knew in his mind that many of those opium came from India, and a large amount of opium (later turned into heroin) was transported through Shanghai to French Vietnam, and then to the rest of the world, forming Shanghai-Saigon-French The opium trade network belonging to Corsica and Sicily.

In this way, the Shanghai Youth Gang has been working together with the European Italian Mafia and other gangs to build a semi-open underground world.

In fact, opium (heroin) was the commodity with the largest domestic demand and foreign trade in China until 1949.

The reason why Situ Nan knew so well was that Meihua’s pirate ships ransacked many opium ships of this kind, which not only provided raw materials for the morphine factory in Medan, but also cracked the dark trade secrets between the European gangs and the Asian gangs.

However, he would not tell Song Ziwen these things, and it didn't make sense to do so.

"Madu, this is worthy of the name!" Song Ziwen sighed, "I don't know when this terrible situation can be changed? If this goes on, sooner or later, big things will come out." Song Ziwen gritted his teeth, somewhat hating iron for not making steel.

Situ Nan smiled slightly and thought: Even the big traitor might be a passionate and angry youth when he was young!

If Song Ziwen becomes the agent of Meihua Company in Shanghai, I wonder if he will still run out of revolution like history?

Most of the revolutionaries are people at the bottom, and there are too few rich people like Zhang Jingjiang.

Now some angry young Song Ziwen is still a young businessman who has not had the same height as the four major families in history. Will he be the person he needs?Can he become Meihua's agent?

Situ Nan asked a question mark in his heart.

He returned his gaze to Song Ziwen, who was a little lonely, thinking of something, and said with a smile: "How are Ziwen and Miss Sheng Qi?"

"Why did Mr. Situ say this?" Song Ziwen looked at Situ Nan in surprise, thinking that this guy was not only jumping in thinking, but also too gossip?

However, when I thought of when I came back from Hankou in disgrace, there were a lot of rumors about myself and Miss Sheng's Seventh in Shanghai, and my impression of myself seemed to be negative.Situ Nan knew it was not surprising.

However, thinking of the cold reception at the Sheng's house in the morning, Song Ziwen's eyes were a little dim, but he didn't regret it at all when he came out of the Sheng's house on time 30 minutes.

Song Ziwen's strangeness fell in the eyes of Situ Nan, and he didn't expect to say it casually, and it really stabbed Song Ziwen and the seventh Miss Sheng Jia.

"Hehe, I'm not malicious, don't be surprised! It's just that some businesses involve the Sheng family, and I want to cooperate with you, so I have to ask." Situ Nan explained.

"Business? But it's okay." Song Ziwen's eyes were a little bit brighter when he heard that business was coming.

"It's about Han Yeping Company. Meihua intends to invest in Han Yeping Company. We don't want to see the Japanese monopolize Han Yeping." Situ Nan said.

On the ship that came to Shanghai, Situ Nan had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and he also conducted a lot of investigations on Han Yeping Company.

After Song Ziwen was silent, he had a certain say in Han Yeping Company.After all, I once worked as a secretary for Sheng Lao Si for a period of time, and was exiled to Hanyang Iron Works, and learned a lot about Han Yeping Company.

"I think it's fine! Han Yeping is not worth the investment, let alone the complicated situation inside, there are Japanese ginseng in it, and the management inside the company is really..." Song Ziwen shook his head and persuaded.

In the past two years, Han Yeping's company has gradually gone down the road. A little muscle that was hard to grow in World War I has now been eaten away by the moths.

Thinking of this, Song Ziwen felt a pity in his heart.

"Don't worry! I'm not on a whim. Investing in Han Yeping may not make money, but why can't I do what the Japanese can do?" Situ Nan said.

"But I am still not optimistic about this plan. Han Yeping's problem is too serious." Song Ziwen continued to persuade.
