People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

After seeing Fan Zhongxu off to work, Lin Yi went straight home.

Then I found out that although Uncle Nan had returned, he had gone on another business trip.

According to the family servants, Uncle Nan only stayed for less than ten days after returning home, saying that he had business to attend to in another city, and then he never came home again.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but went to his study and flipped through the recent newspapers, and then he knew the reason.

The war surrounding the Red Zone continues.

Moreover, its scale is growing larger and larger.

According to the newspaper.

The Nanjing forces were divided into three routes, with a total of 24 divisions and 2 brigades, and more than 400,000 troops deployed.

As for the 'Red Bandits,' their troop strength is unknown.

The current situation is that Nanjing is making good progress and has successfully approached the heart of the red zone.

Official communications from Nanjing were even more confident, claiming that the Red bandits would be completely annihilated soon.

The casualties in such a large-scale battle are unimaginable.

Uncle Nan's frequent business trips are probably because he's delivering medicine again.

However, procuring medicine at this time will likely be difficult.

He made a phone call to Weimin Pharmaceutical Factory, which was jointly established with Shanghai University.

Chen Hua, who is now in charge of the pharmaceutical factory's business, is a gang member recommended by Ah Sheng.

Previously, I followed Liu Jing to expand the Feng Hua bicycle business, which was a valuable experience for me.

His specific abilities are unknown, but he is loyal and reliable.

Currently, he is not only in charge of the jointly-run pharmaceutical factory, but also of the penicillin at the secret base.

"Young master, the medicine has been released to the market."

"However, we only sold to the public for two days. After that, officials came and said that we could only supply a few hospitals in the concession."

"Moreover, not only can the medicine not be sold in the concession area, but even clinics and pharmacies in the concession area cannot ship the medicine."

"All shipments must go through them; we're not allowed to sell them ourselves."

"They said it was some kind of special drug control."

Lin Yi frowned: "Someone in official circles? The Municipal Council of the Concession?"

"No, it's someone from the Chief Police Station. It must be Boss Huang's idea."

Boss Huang, Huang Jinyong, was a powerful figure in the Green Gang and also the chief Chinese detective in the French Concession.

For Lin Yi, he has another identity.

The chief officiant at the memorial ceremony for Zhang Xiaolin.

So Lin Yi was only stunned for a moment before laughing.

They demanded bribes and favors, and ended up taking them themselves.

Damn it, I'm a gangster too!

Chen Hua, on the other end of the phone, could tell that Lin Yi was angry.

However, thinking that he hadn't handled things well, he hurriedly explained, "We're already trying to figure something out."

"Several professors from Shanghai University have written a joint letter to the Municipal Council."

“If the Municipal Council doesn’t handle this, they will take to the streets to protest.”

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll handle this."

Lin Yi said something and then hung up the phone.

Then he walked to the window, opened it, and called out, "Ah Sheng!"

Although Chen Hua only said a few words, Lin Yi already had a general idea of ​​the matter.

There must be some kind of special drug control.

But the fact that this happened at this time can only be attributed to Nanjing's policies.

This was done to cut off the source of anti-inflammatory drugs in the red zone.

Their reach doesn't extend to the foreign concessions, but they can achieve their goals through Huang Jinyong, the chief detective of the Chinese Constable.

Huang Jinyong, by going with the flow, not only gained favors from people in Nanjing, but also created a new source of income for himself.

Controlling the drug distribution channels meant that he took the lion's share of the profits.

All he does every day is think about good things.

"Master."

Ah Sheng pushed open the door and came in.

"Send a telegram to the island, telling the rest of the people to come back as quickly as possible with their weapons."

"it is good."

"After this is done, arrange for a few reliable people to keep an eye on Huang Jinyong's itinerary."

Ah Sheng's eyes widened instantly.

When those people on the island return, they will keep an eye on Huang Jinyong.

Combining these two things, the only answer is that our young master is planning to kill Huang Jinyong!

How could Ah Sheng not be shocked by something as simple as taking down a Green Gang tycoon?

However, after a brief moment of shock, Ah Sheng immediately became excited.

That's Huang Jinyong, who dominated Shanghai for over a decade.

The young master said to kill him, so we'll kill him... Awesome!

Ah Sheng must have left like a gust of wind.

Lin Yi did indeed want to get rid of Huang Jinyong, but not just because Huang had tried to take over his pharmaceutical factory.

This is a small matter.

Given his current connections and reputation in Shanghai's business community, Huang Jinyong might very well give him face if he took the initiative to visit and have a talk.

But the old man listens to Jinling too much.

Now he's at odds with Nanjing.

In any case, he'll be the one who suffers in the end.

It's difficult to offer help in times of need, but easy to kick someone when they're down.

Especially gang leaders like Wong Kam-yung, who are very good at recognizing power dynamics and are used to leveraging influence.

This time, after I outmaneuvered Jinling, they were truly helpless against me through legitimate channels.

But various underhanded tactics are bound to happen.

The most likely explanation is that he's instigating gang forces to constantly create trouble for himself.

It may not be a big deal, but it's absolutely disgusting.

Therefore, he believed he was in the right by Huang Jinyong's extortion.

Let's just take him out and resolve the problem ahead of time.

This incident can also serve as a deterrent to other gangs.

The situation is now completely different from what it was two months ago.

At that time, he was not yet firmly established, and he had to cover up his killing of Zhang Xiaolin.

But now, even if his swindling using Song Wenchang's name is exposed, the people in the banking industry will still treat him like a brother for the sake of money.

As for Huang Jinyong's Green Gang disciples... with his current connections and the power he holds, suppressing them is not a problem.

The only problem is that the number of bodyguards will need to be greatly increased when he comes and goes in the future.

It's inconvenient to do anything.

However, those who commit murder will always be killed.

If he can shoot Zhang Xiaolin in the back, then others can shoot him in the back.

For safety reasons, we have to put up with the inconvenience.

After thinking about it, I figured out how to quickly quell the situation after I took down Huang Jinyong.

Lin Yi picked up the phone and dialed the Sheng Mansion.

The maid answered the phone. Lin Yi waited a moment before Sheng Aiyi's voice came from the other end.

His first words were: "I thought Mr. Lin wasn't planning on returning to Shanghai."

"How could I not come back? I just had some things to finish up, so I rushed back as soon as I got them done."

Lin Yi chuckled, and before Sheng Aiyi could tease him any further, he asked, "Seventh Miss, how have you considered the matter from before?"

"A 50% profit margin is acceptable, but can you tell me now what kind of business it is?"

This time, Lin Yi did not hide it.

He told Sheng Aiyi about his plan to personally go to the United States to short Sothink's stock while heavily investing in Xinka's stock.

As for keeping things a secret beforehand, it was mainly because I was worried that Sheng Aiyi wouldn't follow the rules of the underworld.

She bypassed herself and did it directly.

But now, she doesn't have enough time.

You can only cooperate with yourself.

After he finished speaking, Miss Sheng Qi across from him laughed.

"You're really cunning."

"I already made a profit last time, but I didn't expect there would be a follow-up."

"Could it be that all of this was part of your plan from the very beginning?"

"Seventh Miss, you flatter me. At the time, I only wanted to make a profit, but since the Americans gave me the opportunity, I couldn't refuse them, could I?"

"The face you gave me is so much that the people at Sothink probably want to strangle you."

Sheng Aiyi chuckled on the other end of the phone: "I'll take this deal. How much does it cost?"

"Of course, the more the better."

The US industrial alkali market is very large.

The amount, converted into Chinese currency, would be nearly one billion.

The combined market capitalization of the two companies is more than double the size of the market.

Lin Yi is determined to earn enough, and he's not afraid of having too much capital.

"When do you want it?"

"My ship ticket to the United States is for the day after tomorrow. Including travel time and the time I enter the stock market, it will probably be about twenty days from now."

"Time is too tight."

Sheng Aiyi, sitting opposite, seemed to think for a while before saying, "We can raise 30 million domestically, but I also have a batch of gold in the United States."

"It's probably worth around fifty million."

Hearing the figures Sheng Aiyi gave, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "She really is a very wealthy young woman..."
