A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 31 Robbery
late at night.

The Wang residence seemed quiet. Today, the head of the family, Wang Chengyun, was invited to the police station. Only his two wives and three children, as well as an old housekeeper and two maids were left here.

During this period, the old housekeeper went to inquire about the news and let the Wang family know the seriousness of the matter.

They never imagined that things would turn around so quickly. The two people who took the blame turned against them in front of the reporters and accused their master.

Outside the Wang residence.

Zhou Xinggao leaped over the three-meter-high wall easily and then stepped into the yard of Wang's house.

In the Beiyang Army, he was not an ordinary soldier, but a junior officer with extraordinary skills.

Now there are only the old, weak, sick and young people in Wang Chengyun's house, so he wants to take a chance and save some wealth for himself.

After all, these days, who doesn’t want to live a good life!

"woohoo"

"bang"

Zhou Xinggao knocked Wang Chengyun's wife, who was still unable to sleep, unconscious and then tied her up.

He then used the same method to knock out and tie up everyone in the house.

He is skilled and does things cleanly and ruthlessly.

If Chen Guangliang saw this, he would also be frightened. He couldn't understand how Zhou Xinggao, who almost starved to death, could have such ability.

When everything was almost done, he sat down on the chair slowly, playing with a small knife in his hand.

In front of him, everyone in the Wang residence had their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths stuffed with cloth strips.

He was not in a hurry to plunder property, but wanted to make the people here fear and surrender first, and then he could calmly take the gold and silver and leave.

"Do you want this family's life, or money?"

Zhou Xinggao muttered as he waved the knife at Wang's wife's face.

Wang's wife was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder and urinated. She trembled and said, "My life, my life!"

"Well, tell me quietly, how much money is there in the villa to buy your lives? Don't lie. When I ask her later, if you can't tell the truth, you will die!"

"Yes, yes. We can come up with 5,000 yuan in cash. This money is prepared in banknotes and dollars, as well as gold, silver and jewelry. Please let us go!"

During this era, there were banknotes such as "one yuan" and "five yuan" issued by the Bank of Communications, as well as silver dollars with a silver content of 9% (89%).

When Zhou Xinggao heard about paper money, he immediately became happy because it was the most convenient to carry.

If it were 5000 taels of silver, the weight alone would be 3600 taels, which is more than 200 kilograms, and it would be impossible to take away.

As for the jewelry, he also chose to ignore it. After all, it was difficult to sell it.

"Humph, you Wang family bullied those rickshaw drivers. These five thousand yuan are life-saving money. Go get it honestly, I will watch you. If you try to play tricks, I will kill everyone in your family."

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

Soon, Zhou Xinggao got the money that Wang Chengyun had originally intended to pay, otherwise he would not have put in so much cash.

Before leaving, Zhou Xinggao said fiercely, "If you dare to call the police, I will come back. Your Master Wang has done so many evil things, this little money is just enough to compensate us."

"Yes Yes"

Subsequently.

Zhou Xinggao left the Wang residence in a swagger, and walked out through the main gate.

Afterwards, Wang Chengyun's concubine suggested calling the police.

"No, Second Madam, the master is in prison now, and the thug team has been disbanded. If that ruthless man comes back, we will be dead."

"That's right, you can't call the police."

Wang's wife was terrified at this time and was hugging her two children for warmth.

"Butler, what do you think we should do?"

The old butler was still feeling dizzy at this time, having just been knocked unconscious by the murderer's knife.

"Immediately recall the remaining thugs and have them protect the mansion 24 hours a day. Then raise funds again to rescue the master. Don't make any news about tonight's events for now. We'll investigate later."

There is no backbone in the family and no bodyguards, so it is best to be honest.

"Alright, let's get someone to protect us tomorrow. These damned rickshaw drivers are so vicious and cruel. We'll bother them later."

Judging from the murderer's tone just now, they all guessed that it was someone in the coachman's car.

The old housekeeper said, "The drivers this time are no ordinary people. They found a reporter and made Tang Zhiqing and Ma Xiaoliu change their story. They're coming to rob us again tonight. Let's not offend them yet. Wait until Master comes back, and then we'll make a decision." The concubine hurriedly asked, "Will Master be able to come back?"

The wife said fiercely: "What are you talking about?"

The old housekeeper said, "The lawyer said the problem is not serious and the maximum detention time is a few months, so we should keep a low profile during this period."

Last day of June.

Chen Guangliang is working in the base of Changjiang Motors.

This office is not only the working place of Chen Guangliang, Li Chao and He Xiangdong, but also where Chen Guangliang sleeps at night;

There is also a room at the base, which is used as a meeting place and a resting place for the drivers;
As for the yard, it is not only a place for rickshaws to be repaired, but also a place for rickshaw drivers to have fun.

Therefore, Changjiang Car Dealership has always been very popular.

After all, there are now 135 rickshaw drivers alone (45 rickshaws).

Sometimes, drivers waiting for their shifts would come here to drink tea, play cards, etc.

In addition, Zhou Xinggao has disappeared recently, so Chen Guangliang can only call Lin Feng to replace him.

After all, if the drivers are not watched, they might gamble, fight or something like that.

Putting down the paper and pen, Chen Guangliang began to think about something.

Project A (3 vehicles) has been in operation for 70 days and its asset value has increased by 180 yuan.

Project B (9 vehicles) has been in operation for 40 days and its asset value has increased by 380 yuan.

Project C (12 vehicles) has been in operation for 18 days and its asset value has increased by 210 oceans.

Project D (24 vehicles) has been in operation for 6 days and its asset value has increased by 150 yuan.

The "new assets" generated by the four projects are basically cash flow, but most of them are used for commodity procurement.

Recently, Chen Guangliang simply asked Lin Feng to build another "warehouse" next to it to store goods.

But at this time, what Chen Guangliang really wanted was to "continue to expand."

After all, forty-five rickshaws cannot be considered a large rickshaw company, not even a medium-sized one.

And expansion requires funds!

At this time, Chen Guangliang's borrowing situation is:
350 yuan in Shanghai Savings Bank (Li Chao also has 350 yuan), with an annual interest rate of 20%, this is listed in Project B;

The 1000 yuan deposited by the depositors in Fangua Lane (Li Chao borrowed another 500 yuan) has an annual interest rate of 30%, which is listed in Project C.

I borrowed 1000 yuan from Professor Zhang, interest-free, and it will be used for Project D.

Chen Guangliang did not feel any headache about the debt. After all, he was collecting rent continuously, so the interest was nothing.

So he was considering whether he should use Project C and Project D as collateral and then borrow money from the Shanghai Savings Bank.

This time, if possible, he wanted to borrow 6000 yuan.

Now that he has a good relationship with the Transportation Department, he should naturally take the opportunity to expand and not miss the best chance.

In addition, his "enemy" has been imprisoned, so he should speed up the expansion.

"Let's borrow the money first!"

Chen Guangliang was thinking this when he saw Zhou Xinggao walk in with something.

"Boss, I'm back!"

Chen Guangliang stood up happily, patted Zhou Xinggao on the shoulder, and said, "What do you mean you're back? Haven't you always been here?"

He Xiangdong also put down his paper and pen and said, "Brother Zhou, the boss was talking about you this morning!"

In recent days, Zhou Xinggao was not at the base, so Chen Guangliang naturally told others that he was out on business.

In fact, Chen Guangliang thought Zhou Xinggao had left without saying goodbye.

After all, everything has been done, why haven't you returned to the team yet?

"Thank you, boss, for thinking of Brother He. Could you please let me have a few words with you alone and help me hold the door?"

"Row"

He Xiangdong left happily!
