Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 554 Don’t judge people by their appearance

Fu Qinghua casually played a card, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I am ready to hand over the transportation company. Saving my life is the most important thing."

Several people fell silent. They all had large families and no one dared to get angry with the government.

At this time, a beautiful girl about twenty years old, wearing a dress, walked in with a plate of cut fruits in her hand.

"My dear uncles, my mother cut some fruit and asked me to bring it over."

Several people greeted the girl with a smile.

"Xiao'e, you are becoming more and more beautiful."

"Yes, there are a few new movies in the theater at my uncle's house, including Chaplin's Modern Times. It's very funny. You can come to his house to watch it when you have time."

This girl is Lou Bancheng's only daughter, Lou Xiao'e, who is twenty years old. She politely exchanged a few words with the uncles and then left. Lou Xiao'e knew that her father and the others had something confidential to say.

"Reform." Xu Yanwu lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Xiao'e is twenty years old this year, and my Xu Chen is also twenty-one. Our families are well-matched and we know each other well. How about we become in-laws?"

Lou Bancheng gave a bitter smile, slammed the mahjong tiles on the table, and let out a heavy breath.

"Lao Xu, do you think our two families are not dying fast enough? One capitalist is enough to make people worry, and if two of them are put together, won't they rebel?

I have figured it out long ago. If I want to live a stable life, I have to marry my daughter to a family that has been poor farmers for three generations. That will provide me with stability.

There was a candidate originally, the son of my former driver, named Xu Damao. Our two families had just reached an agreement, but this guy was shot because he had an affair with a soldier's wife.

Fortunately, my daughter didn't marry him, otherwise she would have been a widow."

Lou Bancheng said it lightly, but the listeners felt a chill in their hearts. Lou Weixin usually looked gentle and polite, but in his heart he was extremely vicious.

In order to achieve his own goal, he even sacrificed his only daughter and married her to the son of a servant? I really don't know what he was thinking.

The big landlords and capitalists in all dynasties are cruel and ruthless. As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army, and a righteous person cannot command wealth. Who among these capitalists does not have a few lives in their hands?

Capital has always been bloody, and the so-called rich are all soaked in blood.

The grain merchants Gao Zhonghe and Gou Shiquan, who had been silent, exchanged glances.

Gao Gaohe lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, I have something to tell you. Someone is coming from Taiwan..."

Lou Bancheng and the others frowned and looked around at the same time.

Gao Gaohe whispered: "Don't worry, there's no one here."

Lou Bancheng and the other three breathed a sigh of relief. Fu Qinghua frowned and asked, "Lao Gao, what do you mean? Don't you know that the government is cracking down on this very strictly?"

Gao Gaohe smiled and said, "Tsinghua, don't be so nervous. It's just a message from Taiwan."

Gou Shiquan interjected: "What they mean is that the whole world is developing its economy, and Taiwan, with the support of the Americans, is building a lot of infrastructure on the island.

You elders have strong capital and high moral character. If you develop there, you will definitely achieve great success."

"Great plans?" Li Weinian snorted: "What good thing is Chiang Kai-shek? He is still a cannibal.

If we go there with our capital, I'm afraid we'll be buried at the bottom of the sea in less than three months."

These people came from the Republic of China period. With their capital, it is impossible for them not to have close ties with the government.

They even supported many warlords, otherwise they would have been completely eaten up by others.

They know better than anyone how greedy those people in the pseudo-government are.

This was one of the reasons why they did not flee with the others.

Gao Gaohe sneered: "What can we do? Staying here is a dead end."

Everyone was silent. What he said might not be unreasonable.

Before I knew it, no one was playing mahjong anymore and the room was completely silent.

After a while, Lou Bancheng said: "Don't sigh. There is an old saying that people move and live, trees move and die. We might as well transfer our assets.

If the situation is not right, we will leave. After all, we have a way out and we can rest assured."

Li Weinian, Xu Yanwu, and Fu Qinghua's eyes lit up and they asked in unison: "Where should we transfer to?"

Lou Bancheng said slowly: "Hong Kong! When the Japanese wanted to kill Mr. Du from the Shanghai Green Gang, Mr. Du fled to Hong Kong. In 50, I exchanged letters with him several times.

Mr. Du said that many of his disciples went to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a good place. Although it is our place and is under British administration, it has a relaxed economy and is very suitable for business.

Furthermore, given the strength of Britain and the United States, even if war breaks out again, it will not affect that area."

Xu Yanwu nodded: "I have also received news, Hong Kong is indeed good."

"But..." Xu Yanwu paused for a moment, "I heard that the security situation in Hong Kong is very bad. There are many underworld gangs that support prostitution and gambling and collect protection money. It's such a chaotic place, I'm afraid we won't be able to live comfortably there."

Lou Bancheng chuckled softly, "Old Xu, you're talking about the lower-level personnel. With our abilities, we won't become fish on the chopping board in that tiny place, right?

At worst, we can just use some money to form a club, and then we'll see who dares to touch us."

Several people immediately became excited. They all knew that Lou Weixin was a man who would plan before acting and would never do anything without being sure of it.

Gao Gao and Gou Shiquan exchanged glances, knowing that it was useless to persuade them any further. These people were all shrewd and calculating people, and they could not be persuaded by a few empty words.

Anyway, they had brought the message home and their mission was complete. There was no point in them staying any longer, so they said goodbye and left.

But they didn't expect that they would be followed as soon as they left Lou's house...

After Gao Gaohe and Gou Shiquan left, Li Weinian's expression became serious.

"Weixin, these two people are not from our circle. Did they talk too much today?"

Lou Bancheng sighed tiredly: "I know that, but there are some things you don't know. It was a war time before, and the Taiwanese side had no time to care about us.

Now that there is peace, the whole world is engaged in economic development, which has suddenly made us stand out. After all, we have a lot of funds and wealth in our hands.

So the Taiwan side has formulated a Flying Bird Plan to target capitalists like us in Beijing and Shanghai, and the four of us are on the list.

According to reliable sources, the Taiwanese side intends to win us over if they can, but if they can't, they will kill our entire family. In short, they absolutely cannot allow us to work for the new country and new government..."
