Chapter 247 Return to Shanghai
After a few days, many undercover spies in the mountain city were caught because of the information from the Valley Bird Rib!
For a while, the whole mountain city was in a state of panic.
Gu Wenxuan personally went to the Military Control Commission prison to help Shan Gu Niaozhi and cured his unspeakable secret.
The Military Control Commission also fulfilled their promise, changed the identity of this Tani Torinosuke, and sent him to a remote small country in Africa to live out the rest of his life.
In fact, the Military Control Commission could have killed him, but they thought that if they met such a person in the future, they could bribe him, so they sent the valley to a small African country.
Gu Wenxuan took out another batch of guns from the space and gave them to Luo Yongquan's Pao Ge gang.
After explaining some things, Gu Wenxuan took away Luo Depei's family and Yao Xinghua's family.
They flew directly to Hong Kong and then flew from Hong Kong to Shanghai.
Before the flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai took off, Gu Wenxuan called Sam in Shanghai and asked him to send someone to pick them up at the airport. After all, there were quite a lot of people coming this time, probably more than 20 people.
At Shanghai Airport, after getting off the plane and walking out of the airport, Gu Wenxuan realized that Sam had made a big fuss.
He went to a car rental company and rented twenty cars to pick them up at the airport.
In addition, the Security Department also sent Lin Huai Bu with dozens of his men to welcome them.
Together with the people brought by Gu Wenxuan and those brought by Lin Huaibu, there are probably more than 60 people.
The large number of people along the way attracted the attention of passers-by, who all thought it was Shanghai Beach, and that some big shot had returned from a trip.
When they arrived at their company's headquarters, Gu Wenxuan arranged for Luo Depei and Yao Xinghua's family members to stay in a nearby hotel.
Gu Wenxuan also met with Lin Huaibu in person.
In fact, Gu Wenxuan had a doubt. He knew from later generations that Lin Huaibu seemed to have died in 1937. How come he was still jumping around in 1940?
Could it be that the movies he watched in later life were wrong or just made up?
He decided to ask Lin Huaibu in person what was going on.
Lin Huaibu arrived at his office and treated him with great respect. He knew that this young boss was very skilled and had enough money to buy the entire French Concession, but people outside didn't know that. He had been working for the past 10 days.
He knew how much money Sam controlled, how he manipulated the Shanghai stock market, and how the money he earned flowed into their company like water.
Sam also organized an ocean-going shipping company, transported large quantities of goods from Europe and America, and established their trading company throughout Shanghai.
They also rented a large wharf from Mr. Du.
The annual rent for renting this dock is several million dollars!
It was he who contacted Mr. Du about this matter, so it was definitely not fake. It was real money. Mr. Du gave up the dock only after he paid several million dollars. Moreover, all the people working on it were Mr. Du's subordinates. He could not let anyone else get involved in his dock.
Moreover, the first batch of grain shipped to Shanghai had already arrived, which was a large amount of grain shipped from foreign countries.
Originally, the profit from reselling grain purchased from abroad was not huge, but at that time there was famine everywhere in the country and food replenishment was urgently needed.
I heard from Sam that this batch of grain is about tens of thousands of tons and will be shipped to the north as disaster relief grain. The boss did not make any money from this grain, but only lost money.
This is something other grain merchants are unwilling to do.
The grain is already in the warehouse, waiting for the big boss Gu Wenxuan to come back and figure out how to transport the grain to the north.
This is a big problem. First of all, it requires the consent of the Japanese, and in some places it also requires passing through the White Army’s defense zone.
Gu Wenxuan saw Lin Huaibu standing respectfully in front of his desk, so he smiled and said to Lin Huaibu:
"Mr. Lin, please take a seat. Don't be so restrained!"
Lin Huaibu said in a dreadful tone, "Boss, how can you call me Mr.? You can't call me that casually. In Shanghai, only scholars or people of high status can call me Mr., Boss, just call me by my name!"
Gu Wenxuan really didn't know that there are so many rules to follow in Shanghai. No wonder people call Boss Du "Mr. Du". It seems that this is not a casual name.
"Well, I'll follow the local customs and call you Huaibu! You must have been very busy while I was away, right?"
Lin Huai Bu did not sit down. He bowed and replied, "Boss, no, no, I have already recruited 60 brothers into our security department. It should be enough."
Gu Wenxuan shook his hand and said to Lin Huaibu: "60 security personnel are too few, far from enough for us to use!"
Lin Huaibu didn't know what Gu Wenxuan meant. He had looked around these past few days and found that their company had no more than 30 people at most.
We already have 60 security personnel. Logically, two people should protect one person. Is that not enough?
Besides, they are a business company, not a gang fighting for territory, why do they need so many people?
Gu Wenxuan said:
"Boss Huai, we can't just focus on the present. Our company will definitely go global in the future, not just in Shanghai.
In the future, we may open to Hong Kong, Macau, and even New York in the United States and London in the United Kingdom! So what can our 60 brothers do? Think about it?"
Lin Huaibu was shocked by the big promise Gu Wenxuan made. To do business abroad would require great economic acumen and financial reserves.
The key point is that if this can really be realized, it would be so cool. If Mr. Gu Wenxuan has the same idea, his 60 people are indeed a bit too few.
Mr. Gu’s grand blueprint is indeed a bit too big, and even Mr. Du doesn’t have such an idea.
The so-called three Shanghai tycoons all wanted to keep Shanghai firmly in their own hands, and none of them wanted to move out of Shanghai.
"Then boss, I will definitely recruit more capable people to join the company!"
Gu Wenxuan smiled and said: "There is no rush for this matter, take your time, but you must find loyal brothers, don't just fill in the numbers!
I went to Sichuan recently and recruited several hundred Pao brothers there. They will come to Shanghai in a few days. You should teach them well. They will be our main force!"
Lin Huai Bu was very surprised.
He also knew that the Pao brothers had great influence in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, while the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were generally dominated by their Qinghong Gang, and they had never interfered with each other.
The boss of Gu Wenxuan actually brought the Pao brothers into Shanghai. What was he trying to do? Wasn't he afraid that the people in Shanghai would oppose him?
But Lin Huai Bu didn't care about these. Anyway, the boss was supporting him in the front, and he was just a capable guy at the bottom. As long as the boss paid him, he didn't care who the hell was the boss.
As long as the boss doesn't act like a lackey of the Japanese, whatever he says is fine.
At that time, Gu Wenxuan asked again: "Brother Huaibu, I want to ask you a question. Of course, if you are willing to tell me, I will accept it. If you don't want to tell me, forget it?"
Lin Huaibu didn't know what the boss was going to ask, but he nodded and said, "No problem, just ask me anything I know!"
