Spy War 1929

Chapter 131 He's here, he's here

Putting the wheel back into his inner pocket, Hector rolled his eyes a few times, feeling that Chen Ledao's mind was weird and hard to guess.Being half Chinese, sure enough, it's a little different.

The car started up again, and Zhaoxia flew away from the house.

On the second floor, Hector didn't go to his office, but followed behind into the inspector's office.

As soon as he entered the office, the sound of the training ground below came in through the window, clearly audible.

Chen Ledao sat down on the sofa, and Hector ran to the window, watching the lively training scene below with great interest.

Looking at the people scattered below the training ground, he turned his head and said, "Henry, does the arrest room need to recruit so many people this time?"

His regular facial features matched with a puzzled expression.At a rough glance, those people below are probably more than half a hundred.

"Yes, I'm afraid these people will not be enough in the end." Chen Ledao responded.

Hector watched for a while and walked back to the sofa, Chen Ledao raised his head and said to him:

"After you go back, you can remind Mr. Koopman (uncle) to find a suitable land and buy it. Then find a designer to design the building. If we can't find a suitable partner, we will Start working first."

Chen Ledao told him what he had just sat on the sofa thinking about.Hector's face was first surprised, and then puzzled.

"Don't we need to find a partner? Or just have Henry?" Hector looked at him.

Chen Ledao shook his head.

"Neither of them." He said, "Hector is indeed helpful to the operation of the dance hall as a partner, but the partners I'm talking about are powerful Chinese people."

Chen Ledao didn't elaborate on the reasons. With Hector's IQ, it is not so easy to figure out the twists and turns inside.

"Don't you want to open the dance hall as soon as possible? Cooperators can be found at any time, and this does not delay us from building the dance hall first."

As for the issue of money, say more or less, say less.Relying on the deposits he saved in the bank to sell the property and the earnings he earned in the past few months, plus Hector's Belgian uncle, and Tom Smith who just joined.

Raising money is not a problem, what Chen Ledao wants more is connections.

It's a pity that Boss Dai hasn't gotten up yet, otherwise
"By the way, there's also Brother Dai!" Chen Ledao suddenly stopped talking to Hector, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Seeing that Chen Ledao suddenly stopped thinking about something, Hector couldn't help but shook his head.

"Do you want to bring him together? He is not as high-ranking and powerful as he will be in the future. Looking for him to cooperate now is not to curry favor, but more like I am taking care of him and giving him a source of income.

This is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow, but it is better than icing on the cake.I am with him now, will he be ashamed not to take care of me in the future! "Chen Ledao rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind. A smile could not help showing on the corner of his mouth.

"Henry," Hector waved his hand out in front of him.

Chen Ledao's sudden smile made him uncomfortable.A bad look.

"Henry, what are you thinking?"

Chen Ledao came back to his senses and smiled at him.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about the future of dance halls."

"Should I really ask Sandor to buy the land now and find a designer?" He asked with certainty.

"Of course," Chen Ledao nodded.

He was not in a hurry before, because he thought it was still early, but after thinking about it that night, he suddenly realized that there was not much time.

"How big is it?" Hector was also a little excited when he was sure that he could buy the land now.

Chen Ledao bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "How about this, you make an appointment with Mr. Coleman and Tom, we meet, first set up a company, and determine each person's shares. Then we will talk about buying land."

"Okay, no problem." Hector nodded, then remembered something, and said, "Henry, have you figured out what the company is called, or what the dance hall is called?"

"What do you think of Paramount?" Chen Ledao said.

Since he is cooperating with other people, Chen Ledao does not intend to transfer Ye Weiyang's name there.The name Paramount is not bad. Without Paramount in Shanghai Beach, it always lacks some taste.

"Paramount? Does this have any meaning?" Hector asked curiously.

He knows that Chinese people choose names with profound meanings, such as goodness, blessing, commemoration and so on.

"Does it make sense?" Chen Ledao thought for a while.

He didn't choose the name, so what's the meaning behind it?

"Paramount, that is to say, there are a lot of fun things in this door, and any entertainment that anyone wants can be found in this door." He said an explanation that did not meet the original intention.

"Isn't there only Baile? Why can you find any fun?" Hector McQueen looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Ledao's tone froze, seeing Hector's puzzled expression, he took a deep breath.

"You don't have to worry about that."

"."

"So the dance hall we want to open is called Paramount Dance Hall?" He asked.

It doesn't matter what the name is, as long as it makes money.Just like Ye Weiyang.

The name is weird, but it can make money.

"You can say that." Chen Ledao nodded.He wanted to say that it was not limited to dance halls, but he couldn't think of a better term.

It can't always be called a nightclub.

After Hector left, Chen Ledao sat on the sofa thinking about how to drag Boss Dai into the water, thinking about it, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Go over and pick up the handle, the phone is connected.

"Hey,"

Voices came from the opposite side, Chen Ledao listened quietly.

"Is it coming so soon?" Chen Le's tone was a little surprised.The call was from Xu Zhimo, who said Tagore was coming.

"Okay, no problem," he nodded while holding the handle, "Where can I meet you?"

Two days later, Foch Road, Xu's house.

Xu Zhimo's family is in business, so they are not short of money.But after divorcing his ex-wife, his relationship with his family became a little stiff.He is also a man of backbone, he does not take money from his family, but relies on his talent to support the two of them.

Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman's home is in a lane on Fuxu Road.Looking at the words above, the lives of the two couples sound a bit bleak, but in fact it is compared with the situation in Xu Zhimo's hometown.

People with brains, no matter where they are, will not live too badly.

Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman's life is not bad, but the expenses are really not small compared to their income.

After parking the car, Chen Ledao found Xu's house along the address given by Xu Zhimo.Standing outside the door, there was a voice coming from inside.Knocked on the door and it opened quickly.

It was Lu Xiaoman who opened the door, seeing Chen Ledao, he smiled and beckoned to go in.

After entering the house, there were several people sitting in the living room, all looking at him.Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu and Chen Ledao have already met.On the sofa next to the two, there was another person sitting.

This person's body was covered under a beige windbreaker, and he was wearing a pair of gray boots. His demeanor was slightly different from Lu Xiaoman's gentle and charming.The first impression she gives people is that she is definitely not a weak woman.

Her hair was tied into a bun, revealing her white and smooth forehead, and she looked at Chen Ledao with a slight smile on her face.There is still a little curiosity in the eyes.

Xu Zhimo and Yu Dafu stood up, Chen Ledao walked over, and Lu Xiaoman also walked over after closing the car.

The girl Chen Ledao didn't know stood up, and Lu Xiaoman stood between the two with a smile, introducing each other to them with a smile.

"Le Dao, this is Miss Sheng Qi, a friend of Zhimo and me. Come with us to pick up old Mr. Tagore." She said to Chen Ledao.

After Lu Xiaoman finished speaking, the girl named Sheng Qi gave Lu Xiaoman a blank look, then smiled and reached out to Chen Ledao.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Sheng Qi. I heard from Xiaoman and Zhimo that you opened the Yeweiyang dance hall, which is booming in business. I am also very interested in opening a dance hall. In the future, Mr. Chen can teach me a lot .”

She didn't speak like ordinary girls, she was straightforward and simple.Chen Ledao has met many women in Shanghai, but the one in front of him is the one that makes him feel most comfortable.

Not so polite and etiquette, very simple, very relaxed.When they met, they wanted to treat her as one of their own.

Chen Ledao stretched out his hand and shook her lightly.In my mind, I remembered a report I saw in the newspaper two days ago.

The surname Sheng is not common, but in Shanghai Beach, this surname is not simple.

If it is said that Feng's Chamber of Commerce is the leader among the black forces in Shanghai, then the Sheng family is at the top of the Jiangnan business community.The background of the Sheng family is far from comparable to that of the Feng family.There were even rumors that the support of the Sheng family was indispensable behind Feng Jingyao's success.

The Feng family is no better than the Sheng family. The Sheng family is a family that has continued from the Westernization period of the previous dynasty.Open the history books and look for those modern industries with the word "first" prefixed.Most of them will have the shadow of the Sheng family in them.

In terms of capital, the Sheng family is ranked second in the Jiangnan area, and no one dares to say that it is the first.

However, the younger generation of the Sheng family, compared with the older generation of the Sheng family, can be said to have withered talents.Since the old man of the Sheng family left, the prestige of the Sheng family in Shanghai is no longer what it used to be.

After the old man of the Sheng family left, Mrs. Zhuang took over the power of the Sheng family.

Mrs. Zhuang came from a scholarly family and received a good education since she was a child. After marrying the old man of the Sheng family, she has been tutoring the old man to manage the family.

When Mrs. Zhuang was around, the juniors naturally lowered their eyebrows and were respectful.

But some time ago, a major event happened in the Shanghai Bund business circle, and the old lady of Shengjiazhuang passed away.

Once the old lady left, the last pillar of the Sheng family was gone.The family was in turmoil, and the brothers who were originally brothers and sisters revealed their true colors.One by one, they scrambled to grab the property.

Such a big event naturally cannot escape the eyes of the first generation of journalists in China.All the old and young people in Shanghai still point to them to try this huge melon.

Recently, the matter of the Sheng family has almost dominated the "Hot Search List" in the newspaper industry, and the word Sheng family cannot escape the headlines of every newspaper.

This day's big melon, Chen Ledao was also forced to taste two mouthfuls.

The newspaper said that the brothers of the Sheng family were so jealous of their family property that they no longer cared about the relationship between brothers and sisters.The two youngest sisters were directly excluded from the industry of family heirs.

The seventh and eighth misses of the Sheng family have become objects of public sympathy these days.Chen Ledao remembered that Miss Seven seemed to be called Sheng Qi,

It can't be such a coincidence, can it?Chen Ledao looked at the person in front of him and thought to himself.

Seeing that Chen Ledao had been staring at Miss Sheng Qi, Xu Zhimo kicked him indiscriminately, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed.

"Well, Le Dao, sit down." He pulled Chen Ledao to sit down on the sofa.Feeling embarrassed for Chen Ledao.

Although Miss Sheng Qi is pretty, you can't stare at her like that, right?

Chen Ledao came back to his senses, knowing that he had lost his composure just now, and smiled apologetically at Miss Sheng Qi.Yu Dafu sat on the side laughing and watching the show.

He and Lao Xu also claimed to be romantic, but Lao Chen made him feel ashamed.At least he couldn't stare at other girls' eyeballs like Chen Ledao did.

Old Chen really can be described as: he has a vicious vision, be quick and accurate!

On the other hand, Miss Sheng Qi smiled indifferently, she didn't think she was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her, and said bluntly:
"Mr. Chen probably lost his mind because he saw my name in the newspaper."

Chen Ledao gave him an embarrassed smile full of apology, no matter what the reason was, it was not good to stare at others like this.Not to mention that it made people express their thoughts at this moment.

"I'm really sorry. It's true that I saw something related to Miss Sheng in the newspaper, so I lost my mind just now."

In front of beautiful women, Chen Ledao is always willing to show his polite side.

"It doesn't matter, I'm afraid that what happened in my family these days has made everyone in Shanghai Bund know about it." She said mockingly.

As the two youngest children of the old man of the Sheng family, she was born with a golden key in her mouth. Although the old man and the old lady loved her to the utmost, she was not indulged in it.

Since she was a child, she was smart and well-informed, not only good at painting and embroidery, but also good at writing.She graduated from Shanghai St. John's University and can speak fluent English.

At the age of 16, her father passed away, and she was already a graceful and beautiful lady from a wealthy family.As soon as her father left, she lived at the knees of her mother, Mrs. Zhuang.

She is different from other daughters in that she inherited her father's excellent genes.The appearance is soft and beautiful, but the heart is tough and strong.Although he was sad because of his mother's death, he was troubled by the turmoil in the family.But her heart is still strong.

Facing her appearance, Chen Ledao didn't know what to say.Consolation, it seems that you are not familiar enough. Changing the topic, Chen Ledao couldn't think of what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoman had a good mind, even if he broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Xiao Qi, what are you going to do with your family? Do you really have to give up your inheritance rights?" Lu Xiaoman said directly.

"Of course not. According to the law, unmarried children have the right to inherit the family property. Since they want to divide the family property, my sister and I should naturally have a share." She said with a smile.There is firmness in words and smiles.

"Don't talk about me, aren't we going to pick up Mr. Tagore today? Everyone is here, why don't we go to the pier first?

It doesn't matter if we wait for the old gentleman. If the old gentleman arrives first, it's not good to let him wait for us there. "

Perhaps because she felt that the topic of family property was too heavy, she took the initiative to change the topic.
