"How about it, is it more complicated than you think? It's not easy to sit in the position of Dong Hua." Meng Fanxing stretched out his arm from behind, hugged Lu Xiyan's neck, and said in his ear.

"Did you know it long ago?"

"My father is in the police station. I have been influenced by the grievances of these people since I was a child. I have heard a lot and knew a little. Therefore, the water here is very deep, so you must be careful." Meng Fanxing said softly.

"Although I drank a lot of wine tonight, I was still clear-headed. They wanted to use me as a gun, but I was afraid they couldn't do it." Lu Xiyan was not stupid. Although the identity of a "Dong Hua" would help him in his future work, he would not become a pawn for others to fight.

There are some people and some things that he really doesn't want to tread this muddy water.

"Do they want to form the French Concession Merchant Volunteer Team again?"

"You know this too?" Lu Xiyan was surprised, "Meimei, you are a female Zhuge now."

"It's not that I know, but they have always had this idea. Since they were forced by the Public and Directorate Bureau and the three tycoons to disband the Volunteer Team of the Merchant Group, they have always been at a disadvantage in the struggle. The Qing Gang has money, guns and people. However, now that Zhang Xiaolin has defected to the Japanese, they have more reason to rebuild the Volunteer Team of the Merchant Group." Meng Fanxing said.

"Then do you think this business group should be rebuilt, or shouldn't be rebuilt?" Lu Xiyan narrowed slightly, looked up sideways and asked.

"Rebuilding the Volunteer Team of the Commercial Group, the funding and people are not a problem. The key is the leader. For a long time, since Director Wei's resignation, the three tycoons have been at their peak, and no one can compete with him. Now, Du Yuesheng is forced to hide from Hong Kong due to the great power of the Japanese. Huang Jinrong is old, and Zhang Xiaolin is the only one, but they are the weakest. I guess, their next step will encourage you to promote the full implementation of a smoking ban in the French Concession to the Public and Directors Bureau!" Meng Fanxing said.

"Well, the opium disaster is indeed urgent. There is a general consensus on drug control in the international community. The concession is flooded with opium and harming the physical and mental health of the Chinese people. Under such a righteousness, I can't seem to refuse." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"Now in Shanghai, Japanese people are the biggest mastermind behind opium smuggling and selling. Don't ban smoking, you will inevitably face the Japanese."

"I'm not afraid of this. The Japanese and I have already had a life-and-death enemy." Lu Xiyan shook his head.

"I can turn it off by rebuilding the Volunteer Team of the French Concession. I am a doctor and my job is to cure diseases and save people. I am not good at this. Even if they force me, it is useless. But I can't escape the ban on smoking. If I really want to do it, it will be a life-and-death struggle." Lu Xiyan said.

"The Japanese dare to do so secretly because it is explicitly prohibited by international conventions." (See the Hague Smoking Counterfeiting Convention in 1912. In the 24th year of the Republic of China, the National Government also issued a smoking ban, and it was mandatory.) Meng Fanxing said, "So, on the outside, no one will stop it, but secretly, there will definitely be people asking for trouble. Every year, there are constant mentions smoking bans, but it still cannot be banned. Many people have been destroyed because of their families and their lives are destroyed on this opium. It is really hateful to say."

"Okay, I don't think so many more. The soldiers come to block the water and the soil. Let's go to bed. Director Wanerdian has only given me two days off. There is still one day, I will go to the hospital to work." Lu Xiyan lay down and said.

"Um."

The couple lay down together, but in fact, neither of them fell asleep immediately, and they both had their own thoughts.

...

"Old horse, where are you watering the flowers?"

"Yes, sir, why are you getting up so early and not sleeping for a while?" Old Ma was leaning on a cane and carrying a kettle in one hand, and was taking care of his flowers and plants in the garden.

"I can't sleep anymore, get up early and have some breathing." Lu Xiyan really couldn't sleep. The situation was too complicated, and he was under a lot of pressure now.

"The old ghost has heard the news that the person has arrived in Jiangbei safely, please rest assured."

"I understand. Your legs are not yet ready yet. Just take a little effort and ask Xiaowu and the others to help you." Lu Xiyan nodded and ordered.

"It's okay, I'm about to get better, it's not like the broken bone, it's different from that one." Old Ma smiled, put down his crutch, took two steps, and said, "Look, they're actually all done."

Jogging back and having breakfast.

"Sir, today's newspaper." Yan Lei came in from outside, held a few newspapers in his hand, and put them on the dining table, "It's all hotly discussed the news that Mr. Hua was elected as Director Hua."

"Let's have breakfast first, Xiao He, give Yan Lei a bowl of porridge." Lu Xiyan ordered He Xiaofen.

"Thank you Sister He." Yan Lei took the porridge bowl from He Xiaofen.

"George sent a telegram from London saying that due to the rise in raw material prices, the prices of the next batch of drugs will be increased by 5 to 10 percentage points." Yan Lei took a sip of the porridge and said.

"The price of drugs will not drop. For commonly used drugs, orders can be appropriately increased. What is the situation in the United States?"

"Old Mr. Xi has helped us contact several drug manufacturers, who can provide us with medicines, but we need to be responsible for transportation, and we have to pay half the deposit in advance." Yan Lei said.

“How about importing from Europe?”

"The quality is not bad, and the price is cheaper, if you order in large quantities," said Yan Lei.

"We can't put eggs in a basket. If there is really a second supply channel, it will be worth it even if we suffer a little loss in the early stage." Lu Xiyan nodded.

"Then I will try to make an order first. If possible, we will increase the order." Yan Lei said.

"Yeah, OK."

"I'm having a meal and talking about work. Fortunately, my dad is not here, otherwise I'll talk about you again." Meng Fanxing dressed in a simple home furnishing and obediently came downstairs.

"Where is Xiao Hao, why haven't you seen him again?" Meng Fanxing said, "He always comes back very late these days. He goes out early the next morning, and doesn't know what he is busy with?"

"Young Master Hao hasn't gotten up yet." He Xiaofen said.

"What, it's all at what time. I haven't gotten up yet. No, I have to go and see. My dad is not at home, so I can't spoil his bad habit." Meng Fanxing was about to get up.

"Meimei, sit down." Lu Xiyan held Meng Fanxing down, "Haozi is already married, and he is about to be a father. You, a sister, can't always take care of him. He will take care of himself. You are not unaware of the nature of the work in the police station. Didn't your dad patrol day and night?"

"He just started a family, so he couldn't have these bad habits. Be careful that Mengyao will dislike him in the future." Meng Fanxing said.

"Don't worry about this, he will naturally change it..."

"It was early in the morning, I was talking about the right and wrong behind my back. You two had delicious food and drinks last night. I had to stand guard and patrol for you big guys. It was really unpaid." Meng Hao came out of the room in his pajamas and yawned, sitting on the chair, "Sister He, serve me a bowl of porridge, and starved to death."

"Okay, Mr. Hao."

"Go to wash your face first, brush your teeth, and then come over to have a meal." Meng Fanxing said with a stern face.

"Okay, I'll wash my face and brush my teeth!" Meng Hao saw that his sister's face was not good, so he stood up slowly and walked towards the bathroom.

"Hey..." Lu Xiyan shook his head slightly. His sister cares about his younger brother. He really can't say anything. Anyway, this is the way the two of them are in their daily life. It's uncomfortable not to quarrel for a day.

"Mengyao's due date is coming soon. Xiaohao's holiday is not a problem?"

"No problem. If Tang Jin can't handle this, I will break up with him." Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Meimei, that, how much more can we borrow from the bank?" Lu Xiyan asked after breakfast, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Our reputation is intact and there is no problem with the capital chain. Why did you suddenly ask this?" Meng Fanxing, who was burying his head to drink porridge, looked up and asked in surprise.

"I want to build the headquarters building of Fanxing Company." Lu Xiyan said.

"What, Xiyan, are you not kidding, are you going to build a building?" Meng Fanxing was shocked. The current Fanxing Investment and Fanxing Real Estate are both local offices in the concession, and they do not have their own office buildings, but they will definitely be built in the future, but they should not be in the present.

You should know that when building a company headquarters building, you must consider at least 30 years of development plans and funds, otherwise, don’t have this idea.

Fanxing Company has no problem with its capital chain now, and there are also strong funders behind it. But if you invest in and build a headquarters building, you can't get it without millions.

Even if you can get millions, it is likely to affect the company's capital chain security, and there is only the only way to get a loan.

"I took down the land deeds and house deeds of more than a dozen stores near Poly Automobile Store on Daxi Road. This calculated that it covers an area of ​​seven or eight acres, which is enough to build the company's headquarters. Therefore, the land problem has been solved." Lu Xiyan said.

"Wu Sibao's Poly Automobile Store, have you taken down his land?"

"Wu Sibao can come out of the jurisprudence house alive. Do you think there is really no evidence to deal with him?" Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Brother-in-law, did you actually make a deal with Wu Sibao behind your back?" Meng Hao, who had washed his face and brushed his teeth, asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Haozi, do you think I shouldn't make this deal with him?"

"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be like this, and you are a scumbag like Wu Sibao and a villain!" Meng Hao said angrily.

"Xiaohao, how do you talk? Is there anyone who says your brother-in-law?" Meng Fanxing's face turned cold, "Sit down!"

"Sister, you heard that my brother-in-law actually made a deal with a scumbag like Wu Sibao?"

"I heard it, and I also know, what do you think your brother-in-law should do to be the person in your mind?" Meng Fanxing asked, "If your brother-in-law insists on dealing with Wu Sibao, have you ever thought about the consequences? It is to go to war with Ji Yunqing and No. 76 behind Wu Sibao. Do you think we can win?"

Meng Hao immediately broke out in cold sweat.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand this truth, but the young man still has a passion and sense of justice in his heart. When he saw a person he usually admired like a brother, he suddenly thought of those people, compromised with evil, and gained huge benefits because of this, he couldn’t accept it emotionally.

"Haozi, you understand it as a transaction, but I can also understand it as a compensation I deserve. Moreover, the reason is not as simple as a compromise. Wu Sibao kidnapped me, and he was not the mastermind, but he paid the heaviest price for it. This is my ultimate goal." Lu Xiyan explained.

Meng Hao looked confused when he heard this.

"Young Master Hao, the kidnapped Mr. Ji Yunqing and Lin Shiqun, who kidnapped Mr. 76, are both behind the scenes, but the biggest price in the end was indeed Wu Sibao and his wife. The couple are not good men and women. They just obey orders, but they have become scapegoats. Can they be willing to do it?" Yan Lei explained for Lu Xiyan.
