Hong Kong movie Big Adventure

Chapter 68

This is the fifth time Ma Deshang has entered Huang's mansion since he joined Huang Jinrong's family.

Although it is still a small door to go, the attitude of the younger brother on duty towards Ma Deshang has changed 180 degrees.

"Brother Sheng, you sit and wait for a while. Boss Huang and the others are discussing things. When the discussion is over, I will let you in immediately."

It was Chen Ziqing who spoke, he was the most familiar with Ma Deshang among the gatekeepers, so he received Ma Deshang in the small room.

This small room is right next to the small door. It is used for the guards to rest when they are tired. Now there are only two people in it, Ma Deshang and Chen Ziqing.

"Zi Qing, tell me what Boss Huang and the others are discussing, and they didn't even call me."

Ma Deshang was interested, pretended to be angry, and said loudly.

"Oh, my brother Sheng, please keep your voice down. If I'm found out, I won't be able to eat and walk around."

Chen Ziqing's face changed, and he begged quickly.

He was also upset in his heart, why did he say that Boss Huang was discussing things inside, but the words had already been spoken and he could not take them back, so he could only pray that Ma Deshang would stop talking.

"Ziqing, I'm not an outsider, so just tell me, I promise not to talk nonsense."

Ma Deshang and Chen Ziqing were in the small room, and no one outside could hear them.

"Ziqing, I didn't even thank you for your reminder last time. I even forgot to treat you to dinner. Take this red envelope and buy something delicious for yourself."

With that said, Ma Deshang took out a red envelope from his pocket and put it in Chen Ziqing's hand.

"Brother Sheng, this can't be done."

When Chen Ziqing saw this, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

"I've inquired about it. Recently, your old mother is sick and needs money for medical treatment. The money was originally prepared for you. You should treat it as a loan from me and pay it back to me when you have money."

Hearing this, Chen Ziqing's eyes first flashed with surprise, and then his face was filled with emotion, "Brother Sheng, I..."

"Okay, there's no need to say thank you. If you really want to thank me, just tell me what Boss Huang and the others discussed."

Ma Deshang waved his hand, interrupted Chen Ziqing, and said.

"Actually, I'm not too sure what Boss Huang and the others are discussing, but every month at this time, Boss Huang, the proprietress, Brother Fei, and a few people I don't know will gather together, as if to discuss Yantu matter."

Chen Ziqing held the red envelope tightly and told Ma Deshang all the information he could think of.

"Smoky soil!"

Ma Deshang finally understood, it seems that this is discussing the business of smoke and soil.

What did the three tycoons in Shanghai rely on to make their fortunes?Ma Deshang has already experienced pornography, gambling, and drugs in brothels and casinos, but neither Huang Jinrong nor Lin Guisheng asked Ma Deshang to participate in the Yantu business.

Obviously, Ma Deshang has not yet become the true confidant of Huang Huangrong and his wife.

In Shanghai at this time, brothels and casinos were all legal operations, but only tobacco was illegal officially. As the Chinese chief inspector of the French Concession, Huang Jinrong could not bring this matter to light. Naturally, The less people know, the better.

But don't think that what Huang Jinrong is doing is just smuggling. He is doing a more profitable business than smuggling tobacco and soil, that is, "snatching tobacco and soil".

Since the Qing government announced the ban on smoking, with the secret support of many vested interests, the opium business in Shanghai is still booming, but it has changed from blatant transportation and sales to smuggling secretly.

In this way, it will give the gang a good opportunity to step in.

The opium dealers lost their official armed guards. Anyway, smuggling is illegal, and you will be shot if you are robbed. You dare not report to the officials.

In this way, a thriving underground industry was born in Shanghai: grabbing tobacco and soil.

This is the real empty wolf, a profitable business.
