Chen Lianbo seemed a little surprised and looked up at Chen Gongshou.

Chen Gongshou was a policeman. He served as a police inspector in Foshan. Later, he served as secretary in the Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, Chen Gongshou was once the head of the Judicial Section of the Provincial Police Department, and then the director of the Guangdong Police Department. A few years ago, the central government implemented military and political separation and local rectification. Because Chen Gongshou used public interest and privately for personal gain and bribery, he was dismissed and investigated. Logically speaking, it was worth sentenced to several years on his charges. Fortunately, Chen Gongshou was versatile, good at being a good person, and had a broad social relationship. The people above said something for him. Finally, he paid a large amount of security deposit and did not get into prison.

Chen Gongshou, who had lost his public office, turned to the business world, and used his connections and means to make a fortune in a short while. Not only was he hired as a consultant by the Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company, he also joined the Guangdong Silk Chamber of Commerce and obtained the title of vice president. On weekdays, he was diligent in handling Chen Lianbo, and became Chen Lianbo's right-hand man over time.

It is absolutely impossible to do business in China, only business without officials. Chen Lianbo's family has been doing business for generations and knows the taste of it. Although the government has been extremely strict in verifying collusion between officials and businessmen, it is impossible to completely eliminate such things. After Chen Gongshou was removed from his public office, he became a gray person between black and white. Moreover, Chen Gongshou has been in business for many years, and he still has many potential forces in both the officialdom and the civilians. He has attracted Chen Gongshou to the chamber of commerce and handled some things that are not convenient for him to come forward directly for himself. This is also Chen Lianbo's original intention. And the facts have proved that Chen Gongshou did a good job after serving as vice president.

However, Chen Gong was not in business on weekdays, and he had almost never offered to discuss business with Chen Lianbo like today. Moreover, he spoke so loudly, which aroused Chen Lianbo's curiosity.

"What business?" Chen Lianbo was a successful businessman. Although he was curious, he still looked as usual on the surface and asked slowly.

"grain!"

"Grain?" Chen Lianbo suddenly laughed. In recent years, Guangdong has been in good weather, and the government supports agriculture, and has developed a scientific planting plan. The grain output has increased sharply. Not to mention Guangdong, even Guangxi and Fujian are not short of food. Moreover, it is June now, and it will not take long to be the autumn harvest season. Moreover, Guangzhou was a trading port since the Qing Dynasty. With the end of the European War, the world's commercial exchanges have returned to normal. The ships from Guangzhou to the south are the South Ocean. The rice in the South Ocean is famous all over the world. As long as Chen Lianbo needs it, he can transport several ships to come at any time and anywhere. At this time, he will do grain trading, and what profits can he have besides making some hard money? Unexpectedly, Chen Gong was so angry that he was not at all polite.

Seeing Chen Lianbo shaking his hair and laughing, Chen Gongshou was not embarrassed, but on the contrary, he was also filled with a hint of playfulness in his smile.

"Brother Pu'an. I understand your idea. Do you think it's not cost-effective to do grain trading now?"

"What? Isn't it? What is the price of grain outside? What is the expected autumn grain in the province this year? These are all things that are on the surface. It is not the early years of the Republic of China. The grain in the granary is piled up like a mountain. Even a few time-honored brands specializing in grain trading no longer store grain. Instead, you have to do this business. Aren't you crazy?" Chen Lianbo pointed out bluntly. He laughed happily as he spoke.

"Hehe..." Chen Gongshou laughed a few times, and suddenly asked, "Brother Pu'an, if I said that autumn grain is hopeless and the granary fires, can this grain transaction be done?"

"What! What... what do you want to do?" The laughter stopped abruptly. Chen Lianbo stood up suddenly, stared at his incredible eyes, and asked Chen Gong in shock: "Chen Yinan! What do you mean? Do you dare to take the blame for the world?"

"Haha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, Brother Pu'an..." Facing Chen Lianbo's accusations, Chen Gongshou was not panicked, but on the contrary, he took the tea in front of him leisurely and tasted it with a delicious taste.

"Brother Pu'an, I am a businessman now, how dare I do that? Besides, even when I was the director of the Guangdong Police Department, I wouldn't look at my brother, but compared with some people, I am just a small person like ant. A small person like us, someone can kill me like a bed bug when he moves his hands. How dare you do something that you know is not possible?"

"Since that's the case, what did you mean just now?" Chen Lianbo didn't believe the other party's words and asked with a gloomy face.

"Haha, if we don't do it, it doesn't mean that someone will not do it!" Chen Gongshou explained with a smile: "Brother Park An, you know, brother, I'm still a little bit of face on the road. This friend has more ways to go. I've got news in the past few days that someone will attack...... At that time... this food... hehe... so! This is an opportunity! Business opportunities, isn't the profitable opportunity? As long as we are ready, within three months, the silver will fall into the pocket like flowing water... What do you think? Brother Park An?"

Chen Lianbo's expression was gloomy and sunny. He thought for a while and asked, "Who was the one who took the action? Is your news reliable?"

"The specific brothers are not very clear about it, but I heard that it was Chen Shaobai's head."

"Chen Shaobai!"

Chen Lianbo showed a surprised expression, and saw Chen Gongshou nodding with affirmation, and he knew it in his heart. Chen Shaobai is a famous person. He had committed a big case in Shanghai before and was still wanted by the government. Unexpectedly, this person disappeared for so long and was exposed in Guangzhou. These revolutionaries failed to do serious things, but they were all good at destroying them. If Chen Shaobai really took the lead, what Chen Gongshou said was not impossible, but Chen Lianbo hesitated for a moment whether to do this business or not.

"This matter... is inappropriate..." After careful consideration, Chen Lianbo still felt that it would be better to not get mixed up with this kind of water. So what if Chen Shaobai succeeded? As long as the government transfers grain from various places, and as a trading port, Guangzhou has developed sea transportation, it is not difficult to solve the grain problem in a short time. Once he does this kind of business at this time, not only will he not make much money at that time, but he will instead treat people as Chen Shaobai's accomplice. Chen Lianbo is a businessman, not a revolutionary party, and his business is about wealth and stability. It is better to be willing to watch than to intervene in this situation.

Chen Gong was convinced by Chen Lianbo for a long time but refused. He was almost certain to win and suddenly showed a hint of anxiety. He couldn't help asking what was wrong and why he didn't have such a good opportunity to do it?

"When grain from all over the country and in Southeast Asia arrives, the price of grain will be re-established. The risk of this transaction is too great and it will not be worth the loss."

"Hahaha, if Brother Park An is worried about this, then you can just rest assured!" Chen Gongshou suddenly laughed when he heard Chen Lianbo say his reasons.

"How do you say this?"

Chen Gongshou said proudly: "I don't hide it from you, brothers. It is said that Chen Shaobai and the others will make a big deal this time. Not only our Guangzhou, but also Ning*bo, Shanghai, Tianjin and other major cities will launch together. At that time, fire will catch up in various places and the government will be in a state of chaos. How can they even pay attention to allocating food? Moreover, according to reliable information, there is no need to rely on rice in the South China Sea. The Japanese have already taken action and are purchasing a large amount of rice in the South China Sea. They monopolize it, and no one else can buy a piece of rice at that time!"

Chen Lianbo was suddenly shocked and looked at Chen Gongshou with a uncertain expression but couldn't speak for a long time. Chen Lianbo was a shrewd businessman. He keenly judged that Chen Gongshou was definitely not like what he said, just getting some rumor. From what he said, if Chen Gongshou had not participated in it personally, it would have been impossible to know so detailed. Moreover, he instigated himself to hoard goods today. Doing this grain transaction was not only as simple as making a fortune, but it must have another profound meaning.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Chen Lianbo could not speak. Chen Gongshou was different from himself. He was not a businessman. He had worked as a policeman, had resisted guns, and had killed people. He was cruel and ruthless. Once he refused, it was hard to guarantee that the other party would not break up and kill people to silence him. For a moment, Chen Lianbo was in a dilemma and didn't know how to decide.

"Brother Park An, what are you afraid of? It's not like your usual style. You are from the British Empire and you are holding a British passport. What can the Republic of China government do to you? Besides, you won't really give up such a good opportunity, right? If that's the case, it would be a pity!" Chen Gong saw that the other party had not given a positive answer, and he couldn't help but urge him a few words, and at the same time, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Chen Gong's cold gaze flashed by, Chen Lianbo couldn't help but feel a cold war in his heart. He immediately laughed and said lightly: "That's it! That's it! Who is Chen Lianbo? Not to mention that I am a British nationality, and the title of comprador of HSBC Bank, what can the Republic of China government stand up to me? I was hesitant before and just considered how much money I took to get in and take a try. I wonder how much Brother Yinan thinks is appropriate?"

After hearing what Chen Lianbo said, Chen Gongshou's face turned into a smile like he was in a Sichuan opera, and he nodded repeatedly to say yes. At the same time, the lion spoke loudly and instigated Chen Lianbo to get 2 million in one breath. As long as the operation is done properly, it is possible that the 2 million in three months will be several times more likely.

"2 million? Too much, right?"

"Not much, no more! It would be better if you have more money! Besides, this 2 million is just a position adjustment, and you don't need to pay it directly by Brother Park An. Didn't the bank approve 3.5 million just now? I have calculated that I will draw 2 million from this 3.5 million miles and pay it back when I make money. I don't need to delay the settlement, nor do I need to raise additional funds, kill two birds with one stone!"

"But... for such a large sum of money, will our purchase of grain not attract the government's attention?" Chen Lianbo asked with some concern.

"This pack is on me!" Chen Gongshou grinned and patted his chest, "No need to buy it from the market. I have a way out of the Japanese. Then I will allocate a batch from them, so I said that the 2 million is just a reversal of position. It is not difficult to get 5 million grains after getting it done!" (To be continued...)
