273 The arrow is on the string
273 The arrow is on the string
The negotiation between Fang Bingsheng and Yi Cheng was very unsuccessful. Fang Bingsheng later had a completely quarrel-like expression and voice, which scared Yi Cheng to the point of speechlessness.
It's no wonder that the two are in different situations at all.
Yi Cheng sat firmly on Diaoyutai. The candidates were all from foreign medicine guilds, and the Longmei Line did not involve their interests, so he said beautiful words and pretended to dissuade Song You TieDirection, who had gone wild;
But Fang Bingsheng was sitting on the crater, and the killer had already come to Longchuan on the train, leaving him with no more than 48 hours, so after Fang Bingsheng and Yi Cheng said a few words, he also pulled the mask and pointed at Yi Cheng's nose and roared.
Generally speaking: If we are going to make a mistake this time, will your foreign medicine guild be better? We are all on the same boat, and I am still pushing and stopping now. Isn’t that nonsense? If you don’t care or help, I will assassinate Pan Jinxing with a gun on my own, and I will be caught and see what you do?
Yi Cheng was frightened by Fang Bingsheng's rage and hysteria. He came to his senses, his face flashed with anger, then smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "Can you really do it? Alas, but isn't this the style of your Song You TieDian? Tsk, a group of passionate and good men are really a headache."
"Mr. Yi, I've finished saying everything I should say. I'm not a local. If you do such a thing, you can't do without local help. You have to give me a local helper," Fang Bingsheng shouted firmly, with a cold light shining behind his glasses.
Yi Cheng thought for a while and said, "As the representative of the Foreign Medicine Guild in Longchuan, I will never interfere in this matter. This matter does not conform to the purpose of our Foreign Medicine Guild and the Democratic Party."
Seeing that the other party wanted to get angry again, Yi Cheng quickly raised his hand to stop Fang Bingsheng, who leaned forward like a leopard, as if he was about to rush over to bite him, and said, "But I can tell you about it. Who do you want to help? But I declare that this is a deal between you and him, has nothing to do with me, has nothing to do with the Democratic Party, has nothing to do with the foreign medicine guild. We pretend not to know, and we don't want to know. If something happens, don't involve us. This is the bottom line. Is it OK? If not, please don't talk."
Fang Bingsheng was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then let Lin Liuming help me."
Fang Bingsheng foresaw that this must be the case in this way, and he pretended not to see it himself; but in order to maximize the force of the opponent into the alliance, is there any crime that is better than asking an opponent's candidate to come in? Among the three candidates, Lin Liuming and Fang Bingsheng are the closest contact, because Qi Yunlu, the Liberal Party's insider, has always been in the Lin Liu's list line, and there is a construction contract and business between them, which is the best cover. After Lin Liuming comes in, Qi Yunlu can also know the information of Qi Yunlu, at least he has to rely on Qi Yunlu to reconnaise Pan Jinxing and why he doesn't come out in the past two days. What if he comes out?
"Lin Liuming? I can tell you." Yi Cheng thought for a while and smiled: "But I have another requirement."
"You said." Fang Bingsheng replied.
Yi Cheng stared at Fang Bingsheng and sneered: "If he agrees, you must pay him immediately, and today, at BNP Paribas, transfer the money to him with your Song You TieTelephone. It means he has a transaction relationship with you. Otherwise, something happens and we will not be able to tell it clearly."
Fang Bingsheng took a deep breath, was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "No problem, I will give him 3,000 in advance and 7,000 in the first and second, and give him a total of 10,000 yuan as a reward. How about it?"
Yi Cheng did not answer, but stood up and went out to the corridor and ordered his servant: "Let me see Mr. Lin Liuming immediately."
After Lin Liuming came, Yi Cheng asked him to go to the house to talk to him in a secret conversation. Fang Bingsheng paced back and forth in the corridor like a wolf. After waiting for a long time, when the door behind him creaked, Fang Bingsheng turned around and rushed over like a husband who was waiting for his wife to give birth in the hospital. He grabbed Lin Liuming with anticipation and asked nervously and urgently: "Lao Lin, how about it?"
Tickling his scalp, Lin Liuming turned his head and looked at Yi Cheng behind him, then looked at Fang Bingsheng, and said, "I got five thousand in advance."
"Okay, okay, okay" Fang Bingsheng was happy.
With Lin Liuming as a helping hand, things seem much easier:
Lin Liuming will find a local person to pick up the killer with the pseudonym Huang Sande, which will definitely not attract attention;
Lin Liuming went to Qi Yunlu again and found out that at 10 a.m. tomorrow Thursday, the Liberal Party was preparing to organize a city tour celebration to celebrate the emperor's forgiveness of Zhang Qijie as a human being, so Zhang Qijie and his good friend Pan Jinxing would stand on the roof of a carriage and sway across the city, which was an absolute good target.
The most difficult thing: finding a safe and hidden place to escape from the sniper location, there are also some clues. Lin Liuming said that the company and home rented by Qi Yunlu are on the top floor of a four-story building in the commercial street. The door is on the side of the building, up and down by a fire staircase, and are completely isolated from the other parts of the building. Because it is a small company, it mainly recruits coolies to work. There are very few white-collar employees, only one or two, and can be sent away at any time. In this way, the killer can be placed in Qi Yunlu. Because if the Liberal Party patrols the city to celebrate, no matter how it goes, it will pass through that building, and the killer has many opportunities to shoot. And as long as they set off firecrackers when they celebrate, or they deliberately set off firecrackers downstairs, they can cover up the gunshots. And if Pan Jinxing hits Pan, many buildings on that street are three or four stories high, the official can only estimate the general direction and will not know which building came from the bullet.
As long as the killer sniping distance is far enough and retreats quickly enough after success, it is absolutely fine.
"Are you talking about pulling Qi Yunlu in again?" Fang Bingsheng muttered a little considering that this kid was also a candidate.
Shan Ji touched her chin and thought for a while and said, "Are you looking for too many celebrities?"
"Qi Yunlu only loves money. In order to get to know people and advertise, she has no roots in the local area. Because he offended Shanzhu and the others, he might have slipped away before Shanzhu came back. **, I will definitely leave me an unfinished building, and Lao Zhang's building is not bad enough. "Like Lin Liuming on the sofa spread his hands and said helplessly: "If you don't look for him, who are you looking for? Are you so anxious that the killer guy chooses a building himself and climbs up in broad daylight to shoot a gun?"
"Go and tell him, we pay, it's better to drive everyone else away. But don't tell him the truth, just say that the killer is someone you know, come to raise funds for railways, etc., and stay there." Fang Bingsheng pondered for a moment, took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already 12 o'clock. He looked up and said, "Qi Yunlu must be involved in the tour of the Liberal Party, and he will definitely not be in the building tomorrow. He will let the killer run away with a shot, but he may not know about Qi Yunlu."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Sande, dressed as an ordinary little businessman, was sent downstairs by Lin Liuming's housekeeper. The inconspicuous killer carried his long luggage and stepped on the iron ladder on the side of the building to the fourth floor. He did not knock on the door in a hurry, but looked around at the end of the stairs, and then was very satisfied: his vision was wide, and the two intersections to the west were visible, enough to allow the bullets of the sniper rifle in his luggage to fly.
The seventh week of the election is 8 am on Thursday. Longchuan Station Conference Room.
Fang Bingsheng in the train station, Shan Bingsheng stayed in the conference room in panic all day long, staying here overnight, with cigarette butts and betel nuts on the table, as well as a few empty wine bottles and glass bottles of ladle. Both of them felt that time passed too slowly and too fast. It was still two hours before the action; it was too fast, and the killer arrived in the blink of an eye, and the place was ready. The sleepless night passed, the arrow was already on the string, and the gambling of himself was gone or hell. It was time to put his hands away and wait for fate.
Fang Bingsheng rubbed his eyes, as if he could feel the pain, fear, and tension all night long discussion waiting for these pains, fear, and tension, like a smoky shell attached to his eyes, and the palm of his hand felt the rupture caused by crushing them. Even so, he looked up at the pheasant lying on three chairs, and asked the same question like an elderly old lady: "Phoenix, are you okay?"
Before Shan Ji could answer, the door of the conference room was pushed open suddenly. Lin Liuming rushed in and ran too fiercely. After entering, he was sweating all over his head. Without saying a word, he just supported his hands on the table and gasped. Fang Bingsheng was so scared that he immediately stood up, put on his glasses in a hurry, but he didn't dare to ask for something wrong. Shan Ji was so scared that he rolled off the chair to the ground.
"Mr. Fang, stop doing something and change," Lin Liuming said panting.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji shouted at the same time.
Lin Liuming shook his head and said, "Just Qi Yunlu just asked someone to inform me that something happened to Zhang Qijie's textile factory. In order to parade, they all lived in the textile factory. During the morning meal, Pan Jinxing suddenly changed his words: He said that he wanted Zhang Qijie's property, and he only needed 90,000 Song Yuan, and he invested in the textile factory. He might have to go to the yamen to find the official to talk about it again. Now it has spread, and reporters are running around in the city, rushing towards the textile factory."
"What??" Fang Bingsheng's glasses fell on the table with a clang, and he touched him with his eyes closed like a blind man.
The pheasant next to him grabbed Lin Liuming's arm and shook it and asked, "What does this mean? What does this mean?"
Lin Liuming looked at the haggard pheasant as if he was illiterate and said, "What does it mean? Do you still understand? The Qing dynasty himself wanted to give up his fortune of more than 300,000 yuan."
"Why? Why don't he want it?" Fang Bingsheng finally put on his glasses and asked in disbelief.
Lin Liuming shrugged and said: Don’t ask me, he doesn’t want it anyway.
It turned out that Pan Jinxing suddenly received Zhang Qijie's apology on Sunday and compensation for all his property that he never expected was more than 400,000 yuan. He was naturally happy.
But after time passes, you become worried about gains and losses:
First of all, Wang Yu's family, Zhang Qijie and others have all fulfilled their affection for him. They sincerely say sorry to the past and want to repent. This is the Christian style; Ren Pan Jinxing's heart is made of iron, and he will be moved;
Secondly, this money is not easy to get. Since everyone learned the news on Sunday, some people kept looking for Pan Jinxing and asked him if he wanted to sell the textile factory, because Longchuan City is not short of rich people now. Among the people queuing in the yamen, some of the rich man can eat the textile factory. Everyone knows that he is a Qing Dynasty. Can he manage this textile factory? If he is eager to cash in the money and return to the Qing Dynasty, he might be able to get a bargain; in addition, Pan Jinxing also felt that textile The factory employees and cadres were very hostile to him. After all, Zhang Qijie's capable boss was gone. If he had changed to such a sick opium, could he hold on to this largest factory in Longchuan? If he couldn't hold on, his job would be affected. Finally, the inspector Ou Xingsun and a group of strange-shaped people also invited him to dinner. From the natural sense of the Qing people, he knew that this official official from the Song State was also extremely interested in the textile factory, and intended to take it away at a low price from him and take it for himself.
The locals Zhang Qijie are not afraid of these lurking monsters and ghosts. He is also a well-known and tough person. A capable person, with prestige, money, ability, connections, and church. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can call the wind and rain in Longchuan. Even the county magistrate wanted to touch him, but he was put into prison by his favorable rules. But Pan Jinxing was afraid that he was just a foreigner. Although he had been in the United States for so many years, the United States was more advanced than the Song State. However, as a Chinese, most of the social and working circles were Chinese and could not enter the circle of foreigners. The 90,000 US dollars he made his own fortune also earned gold nuggets and opened a shop in Chinatown. These were not big companies. He really had no confidence in managing such a big factory, and he also operated such a huge asset in Song State.
As for selling all Zhang Qijie's property and returning to his hometown, which he had not been back in 25 years, Pan Jinxing felt that this was a bit too wasteful, and he was too sorry for Zhang Qijie and Wang Yu's family. Moreover, the Qing reporter kowtowed first and then threatened to report it fiercely. He took so many anti-foreign people back to the Qing Dynasty? If the group of officials in the Celestial Dynasty knew, can he keep this wealth without any roots? Even the officials in the Song Dynasty wanted to blackmail him, let alone the Qing Dynasty would not be able to make money to make a living and foreign crime.
The money is really a biting
After thinking about it, Pan Jinxing made a decision.
During breakfast today, the Liberal Party and friends gathered together, planning to prepare for the morning tour. Taking this opportunity, Pan Jinxing announced that he had given up the factory and the fields outside the city. He said to Zhang Qijie: "I just want 90,000 yuan, and I will invest in your textile factory. Lao Zhang, your factory will not move, it is yours, just turn around like this."
This shocked everyone on the table. Wang Yu's chopsticks fell off, Xi Xiangdao threw vinegar on his face, and Fan Linhui almost choked to death, screaming strangely.
Zhang Qijie was stunned for a while before asking, "Old Pan, are you... why?" Then he guessed the mystery very smartly and sneered, "Old Pan, don't be afraid, just follow our promise. I will be your manager, and no one dares to touch you. The property belongs to you, and no one can steal it, otherwise he will be an enemy of us."
"That's right, let Comrade Lao Fan go to his house to scare him at night." Wang Yu's house joked and beat Fan Linhui's back.
Pan Jinxing bowed to these people, and then said seriously: "I thought, this factory was all raised by Lao Zhang and his hard work. He said it was all grown by my money. This makes sense, but it is not all right. I may not have the ability to increase the money by 4 or 5 times in 10 years. For example, although I have not returned home, I stayed in Fuzhou for a few days. Although Longchuan was broken, Fuzhou was not as good as Longchuan. If I had returned to Fujian with 90,000 US dollars back then, what could I do? I didn't see that there was a factory in Fuzhou. Lao Zhang had the ability. So I couldn't ask for all the money. Just ask for my principal. Otherwise, if the factory had a long and two short-term situation and so many people were waiting to rely on you Lao Zhang for a meal, I would be sorry for them."
Looking at everyone who dissuaded or pondered, Pan Jinxing continued: "Of course it's not for nothing, I have the conditions."
"What conditions?" The group of people were shocked again, and stretched their necks towards Pan Jinxing like a duck.
Pan Jinxing coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "You have to help me become a naturalized person in the Song Dynasty. I want to settle in Longchuan. Be your neighbors for life with you good friends. I also want to believe in Jesus with Brother Wang and Lao Zhang. Is that okay?"
"Staying in Longchuan?" Zhang Qijie was shocked.
Pan Jinxing shook his hands and said, "I have been abroad for 25 years. I have no close relatives at home and have all passed away. I am alone, not even a person I can trust, and have always lived like a wild dog. I thought about it, the United States is abroad for me, the Song Dynasty is abroad, and my own hometown is abroad, so why did the Qing primary school reporter come up to kowtow to me and report me in a blink of an eye? But I know his eyes, this is the case with the Qing Dynasty. I was really afraid when he said it. Why did I go back to the Qing Dynasty? So I don't care. Then I live the same wherever I live. You are the only group of friends I know who can be intimate. I feel so happy to be with you. I don't want to leave here. Let me settle here and thank Jesus with you."
"Okay, Old Pan welcomes you." Wang Yu's family slapped the table first and shouted.
Pan Jinxing grinned and smiled at Wang Yu's family, "Brother Wang, I... am a rich man, right? I'll introduce a wife to you?"
"Be a Christian first and come to the church to marry." Xi Xiangdao interjected.
"Believe in Jesus and quit your opium first," Fan Linhui said with a smile. When Pan Jinxing heard this, his face turned green.
Wang Yu's family shouted: "You are not a Christian when you smoke opium. Whoever marrys you, you are all for your money, and you are not from falling in love with you. Do you want such a wife?"
