20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 286 Origin

Seeing Nanfeng come back, Liu Yansheng simply repeated what happened.

It has been more than a month since Jiang Lianheng and others returned to Fengtian.

Under the management of Zhao Guoyan and Liu Yansheng, Yingkou's insurance business is running smoothly and is gradually getting on the right track.

According to the original arrangement, after Jiang Lianheng prepared the headquarters in Fengtian, he should set off for the important towns along the Southern Railway to say hello, smoothen relationships, and give benefits to ensure the stability of the business.

However, due to Miyata Ryuji's stabbing during the period, the schedule was delayed.

I thought it wouldn't hurt to take a few days off, but I didn't expect an unexpected surprise to happen.

Three to five days ago, Zhao Guoyan took a large-amount insurance purchase.

Like most of the current businesses, the insured customer was also Tong Sanye's downline, a drug store owner who secretly sold red pills.

This person purchased a lot of goods. In addition to a large number of red pills, there were also various precious medicinal materials shipped from the south.

This cart of medicinal materials alone was worth almost a thousand yuan, and I had invested two to three hundred yuan in transportation insurance. The result was not just a shortfall, but an entire truckload of goods, all gone.

The company has just been established, and it will definitely have to boast in order to attract business. It is not an exaggeration to say that the company will pay three times the compensation.

Liu Yansheng made a rough calculation, including the cargo and insurance, he would have to pay at least 2,000 yuan in compensation.

Money is not the biggest problem. Although the Jiang family is currently in difficulty, they can afford to pay for it.

The problem is that the banner of Zongheng Cargo Insurance Company is: Access to the world, safe in all directions.

This is not water, fire or life insurance.

Red pills and black gold. People who come to apply for insurance are tacitly aware of the Jiang family's background. With Tong Sanye's name, everyone assumes that Zongheng Insurance Company has the ability to ensure the safety of freight.

Now that something goes wrong, even if you lose money according to the amount, you can only win reputation, but you can't save your prestige.

What's more, Jiang Lianheng didn't want to lose money at all.

This matter is too strange. A carriage of medicinal materials has disappeared. No matter how you look at it, it looks more like someone deliberately disrupting the situation.

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoyan asked first: "Who insured you and where did the accident happen?"

Liu Yansheng quickly replied: "The insured's surname is Liang, his name is Liang Bolin, and the name of the drug store is——"

"Shan Fang Tang?" Jiang and Hu answered in unison.

Liu Yansheng was immediately stunned: "Brother Dao, sister-in-law, how do you know?"

Can you not know?

The incident happened in Liaoyang, which is the hometown of the young couple!

Before the train traveling north from Yingkou reaches Fengtian, the two most important towns are Haicheng and Liaoyang.

The Shanfangtang Pharmacy run by Liang Bolin is quite famous in the local area. Jiang Lianheng knew this person's name when he was a child. Even now, this person must be over fifty years old.

"I think this is probably because Miyata Ryuuji is doing this behind my back!" Jiang Lianheng put out his cigarette butt and said through gritted teeth, "I guess he was watching me work hard with him and wanted to find an opportunity to beat me up."

"Not necessarily." Hu Xiaoyan shook her head, "The devil wants to beat you. There is no need to be so sneaky. He can tell us clearly that he wants to cut off the goods. Moreover, if he wants to beat us, it is more convenient in Fengtian, so why bother knowing that Liaoyang will be there? The railway over there?”

Liu Yansheng continued: "Sister-in-law is right. Unless Liang Bolin colludes with the Japanese, they don't know which family has taken out our insurance."

One is in Liaoyang, the other is in Fengtian, and the company is in Yingkou. Are they colluding together?

This possibility is too low.

"Actually, I think this is more like insurance fraud." Wang Zhengnan continued the topic.

Liu Yansheng also agrees with this speculation.

After all, since Li Zhongtang in the previous dynasty established the "government-supervised and privately run" insurance industry, cases of arson, murder and insurance fraud have been commonplace.

But Jiang Lianheng frowned and muttered: "That shouldn't be the case. Liang Bolin is a decent man and his family is not short of money at all. How can he commit such a trick? You don't know that in my hometown, Nan Wang Beiliang, these two people The richest man, could it be that he has declined in recent years?"

"Anything is possible." Hu Xiaoyan said, "It has been ten years since we left Liaoyang. In the meantime, there have been wars, revolutions, and changes. If someone rises, someone will fall. Needless to say, others What?"

Li Zhengxi cleared his throat and said, "Brother Dao, could it be Tong Saner from Yingkou who is causing this? I always feel that our cooperation with him is not very reliable. Could it be that he is using us in Qiao Did the tricks used by the second brother be used on us?"

"No." Liu Yansheng said hurriedly, "I just came back tonight, and Mr. Tong also couldn't receive payment because of this matter. He seems to be more anxious than us!"

"There are so many things to do!" Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Xiaoyan consoled her: "Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and earth will cover it. How can everything go smoothly? Since it is possible, let's just rule it out."

But Liu Yansheng said: "The problem is, now shopkeeper Liang is urging us to pay compensation!"

"You want money from me?" Jiang Lianheng leaned on the sofa and snorted coldly, "You ask him, do you want me to give him a pair of eyes? If it's not enough, I can also give him a dick."

Hearing this, Hu Xiaoyan frowned, but said: "Xiaodao, we are doing business now, don't keep doing this."

"Daughter-in-law, you are wrong! Is there any insurance company in the world that doesn't default on its bills? How can you make money if you don't default on your bills?"

This time, Jiang Lianheng was right.

The essence of the insurance industry is nothing more than three words - cheating!

The newspapers are full of insurance fraud cases that have been detected. Who knows how many of them are real insurance frauds and how many of them are secretly manipulated by insurance companies?

Of course Hu Xiaoyan also understands this truth, but if she starts acting like a rogue at the beginning, her business will definitely not be able to grow.

Everyone fell into silence.

Jiang Lianheng thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh for the last time, and said: "How about I go to Miyata Ryuji tomorrow to ask about the situation. Who told me that this railway belongs to others! If he says that this matter has nothing to do with him, If it doesn’t work, I’ll go to Liaoyang again.”…

……

The crescent moon slowly climbed up to the sky, making a shallow bend, and almost no moonlight could be seen.

There was no wind at night, but at the east entrance of Tutai Village, there was a subtle "rustling" sound coming from far away.

Shi Erlong crossed his arms, crossed his legs in a hurry, turned his head twice in three steps, and walked out of the village furtively.

It was not too late, but at this time, the village behind him was already dark.

He raised his head, followed the light on both sides of the railway, and looked south from a distance. He saw that the area around the provincial capital and commercial port was completely different from the countryside in the suburbs. It was the time when the lanterns were first lit and singing and dancing were taking place.

That's called nightlife, which can only be found in cities. Only rich people can enjoy it, and they, the tenant farmers, will always just live.

"When I get rich, I will enjoy myself!"

As Shi Erlang walked towards the lights in the distance, he muttered to himself: "Why should I have to farm all my life while they enjoy the food and drink? Be a dog for others, whoever likes it will be treated as such. Bah. !Bloody bones!”

"I also want to be a master!" This guy seemed to be in a daze, and kept saying to himself, "You little devils, just fucking die! Yes, when I get rich, I will call myself a Japanese guy. Sister Yao! Hehe, bring glory to the country!"

Shi Erlang became more and more enthusiastic as he talked. Although he was awake, his dream could not be broken.

It wasn't until he reached the crooked-necked old poplar tree at the east entrance of the village that a sudden shout interrupted his reverie.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

The sound came from under the old poplar tree, which startled Shi Erlang. He hurriedly took two steps to the side and asked suspiciously: "Who, who?"

"Erlongzi, right?" the voice replied, "Me!"

"Old Ding?"

No, the voice is too young.

Shi Erlong frowned, took a few steps forward hesitantly, and looked forward with wide eyes: "Who are you?"

"You can't even recognize me?"

"Hey! Lao Gan'er?"

The crooked-necked old poplar laughed and said, "That's right! Erlangzi, it's so late, what are you doing?"

Is he really an old man?

Shi Erlong rubbed his eyes, took a few steps forward, and asked in a weak voice: "What do you care about me? I didn't steal your rice! You're asking me, what are you doing here at night?" ?”

"Hehehe..."

The laughter of the crooked-necked old poplar tree seemed a bit weird in the night: "Come on, come here and I'll tell you what I'm doing!"

Shi Erlong felt that his mouth was dry, so he swallowed hard, took a few steps forward, tilted his head, and tried to use the distant light to see clearly what was going on under the tree. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and there was still something under the old poplar tree. It was all black.

"Old Gan'er! Let me tell you, it's late at night, don't pretend to be a ghost to scare people! It's easy to scare people to death, do you know?"

The old poplar tree was silent.

"Old Gan'er?" Shi Erlang called again, "If you have nothing to do, go back as soon as possible! Well... I was so upset that I couldn't sleep, so I was just wandering around here..."

"Erlangzi, didn't you see? Tonight, that little fat man dropped a 'little yellow croaker' here!" The old poplar tree said quietly, "Come on, come over and help me look for it. We found it." Two and a half each.”

"Tear a few eggs!" Shi Erlong scolded, "Do you think I'm stupid? I've been staring at the red cloth bag. Why didn't I look at it?"

The old poplar tree no longer responded.

"Then what... uh... just keep looking, I'll take a look around. By the way, um... don't tell others that you saw me! If you dare to tell me, I'll tell you that you stole his gold bars here. Did you hear that?"

Shi Erlong turned around and walked forward sideways, keeping his eyes fixed on the old poplar tree.

However, the other party's sudden silence aroused the greed in this boy's heart - could it be that a "little yellow croaker" really fell?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became that he even "recalled" that something "did" fall out when the little fat man left.

So, even though he had already walked a certain distance, Shi Erlong changed his steps again like a ghost.

"Old Gan'er!" he shouted angrily, "Have you found the 'little yellow croaker'? Can I help you find it?"

Shi Erlang crouched close to the crooked old poplar tree and asked nervously: "Old Gan'er? Old Gan'er, where are you? Why didn't I look at you?"

The other party finally responded again, in an extremely low voice: "I'm behind the tree. Come on, come here."

"We agreed, we'll find one person and half of it! Do you hear me?"

Shi Erlong leaned down with a smile and groped on the ground to turn around the old tree.

But unexpectedly, when he raised his head again, the black muzzle was already pressed against his eyebrows.

Zhang Zhengdong said expressionlessly: "Come with me."
