Chapter 733 Don't do it
"What else do you want to say?"
Peter stared at Rong Zhaotian with a gloomy face.
Three days have passed, but Rong Zhaotian still failed to retrieve the batch of opium.
Du Yuesheng was also there, silent.
He and Rong Zhaotian went to Boss Guo's place, but the reply he received from Boss Guo disappointed them a little.
Boss Guo’s news comes from a letter that was placed in the concierge, but the guard of the concierge did not know who placed it there.
He said that he had been using the toilet to untie his hands, and there was a letter on the table. He even chased him out and read it. There was no one on the street outside.
The content in the letter is very simple, with only one sentence: The goods you want are in my hands.
Boss Guo didn't really believe that this batch of goods was transferred by the British consul from the East India Company. The person in charge of guarding the boss of the General Police Office of Shanghai and the largest gang in Shanghai. Under the care of such forces, he didn't believe anyone dared to have any idea about this batch of goods.
However, for the sake of safety, he decided to go to the consulate in person.
But this time, he found that the content of the letter was actually true!
Someone actually stole the goods from the guards of the two greatest forces of black and white!
He was extremely angry at this because he could suffer huge losses.
High-quality opium has always been a hot commodity, let alone top-notch goods like public zodiac?
This is a powerful tool for tobacco shops to attract high-quality customers. People are willing to come to you only know that you have public rank here.
If you spend some more money and transport it to the mainland, it will be a price of fifty miles per day, and it will definitely be hard currency.
Therefore, if you want to buy this kind of goods, you need to pay at least half of the payment in advance before you can place an order to get the goods.
However, this is the requirement of the East India Company. In fact, if you want to order from Pitt, you not only need to pay the entire payment in advance, but even the rebates returned to him must be paid in advance before he is willing to help order the order.
What? Don’t want to? Then find someone else!
There are many people who want to make a fortune, and they don’t need you one or two.
Therefore, Boss Guo paid all the payment and kickbacks in advance before placing an order from Pitt.
For this reason, he spent all his working capital and borrowed some of the money from the bank, so that the funds did not break.
If there is a problem with this batch of goods, then his trouble will be great.
He is more anxious than Pete now. If the goods cannot be put in place in time and cannot be sold and cashed out in time, then he may not even be able to pay the salary of his friend.
What's even more serious is that if the person who stole this batch of goods threatened him with the goods and asked him to pay for redeem the goods, he would be really hurt.
After learning about the actual situation, Boss Du and Rong Zhaotian were out of control. The source of the news was cut off, and they returned to the starting point, and the three-day time had expired.
Now that I want to solve this problem, I am afraid there is only one way left, that is, Du Yuesheng and Rong Zhaotian pay out of their own pockets to make up for the losses caused by this batch of goods.
This is not a small amount, and it is not so easy for Du Yuesheng to take out, let alone Rong Zhaotian.
Logically speaking, his police officers all had their money and some oil. Unlike Du Yuesheng, he had to pay for his brothers out of his own pocket, and he should be able to save a lot of money.
In fact, he did get a lot of money, but he spent more.
His hometown is from Suqian, and there are many relatives in his family, so he is all pointing at him to support him.
Not only did he buy a huge garden villa in Shanghai, but he also built a large mansion with eight in and eight out of his hometown. He sent all the oil and water he had been plundered over the years back to his hometown, but he really didn't have much money left in his hands.
Therefore, when Du Yuesheng suggested that both of them jointly bear the responsibility and each resist the losses of the next half, he did not agree at once, which led to Du Yuesheng being very dissatisfied with him.
It’s really annoying to work with such a short-sighted guy. I always think about using the drag-on technique. Can it solve the problem?
Now Pete asks, what do you do?
Rong Zhaotian really didn't know what to do. He lowered his head and his expression changed, but he still didn't say a word.
He wanted to fight the loss with the next half of it, but he also had to be able to take out so much money at once!
Boss Guo was furious and was waiting to use money and goods. He couldn't afford to pay, and it would be useless to just agree!
Seeing his irresponsible look, Peter was also extremely disappointed.
Sighing, Pete waved his hand: "Forget it, go home! This Inspector General, don't do it now."
"But……"
Rong Zhaotian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Peter roughly: "What else? You can't find the goods back, and you can't take out the money. What's the use of asking you?"
Clenching his fists tightly, Rong Zhao became full of anger, but he did not dare to vent his faults. He could only hold it in his heart, which made his heart hurt.
Suddenly, an assistant came to knock on the door.
"Consul, there is an instigator named Li Ji outside, who said there is something very important to find you."
"Li Yi? What is he here to do?"
Peter knew that Li Yu was very special in Shanghai, so he naturally knew about the guardian saint in this area.
Li Yi has a strange temper and doesn't give anyone any face. He only focuses on his own acre of three-point land.
Due to the particularity of the geographical location of that area, although he was a consul, he was not good at pointing out at Li Yu's work.
On weekdays, they don’t miss the water of the well, but why did Li Yu suddenly come to him today?
Confused in his heart, he still spoke: "Let him in."
Soon, the assistant brought Li Yu in.
"Inspector Li Yi, why are you here? Please sit down."
Peter is still quite polite to Li Yi. Western culture emphasizes that the strong are kings, and those who are capable are still willing to respect them.
Looking at Rong Zhaotian beside him, Li Yu said seriously: "I came to see the Inspector General. Last night, I found a major case on Hubin Road, but when I went to the General Police Office, they said he was here, so I came here."
"oh!"
Pi Te nodded: "You don't have to look for him anymore. He is no longer the Inspector General."
Hearing his words, Rong Zhaotian instantly gritted his teeth and his heart was turbulent.
Pete didn't care and said casually: "Since it's a case in the French Concession, you can go to the police station in the French Concession! We will re-discuss the appointment of the Inspector General at the next board of directors of the Works Department."
"That's OK."
Li Yu did not waste time, so he nodded and stood up, preparing to say goodbye and leave.
"Wait a moment."
Pete called him and asked, "You said that you discovered a major case last night. What kind of case did you, the patron saint of Four Roads, come to report the case in person?"
Li Yu thought about it, but did not hide it. He said seriously: "I found someone trading opium in private last night. It is a good public tuition. It is a huge amount. I dare not deal with it without authorization, so I came to the Inspector General to deal with it."
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
The three people in the office exclaimed in surprise. Pete stood up and quickly walked to Li Yu and asked, "Are you true?"
Rong Zhaotian also rushed over and asked loudly: "How many are there? Is it a hundred boxes?"
