C1715 The God of Fortune

The wind was not weak today, and all kinds of flags were fluttering on the dock. The salty and warm sea breeze caused people to feel uncomfortable, but they could still endure it.

This kind of weather didn't really matter to dockworkers who put in effort. It was cooler and cooler to sweat, but for people who were proud and expensive, it was a bit uncomfortable.

Four Seas Keeper Niu who was dressed in top-notch lakesilk stood at the edge of Pier 1 with his stomach puffed up, looking towards the ocean with his feet up. His hat was crooked from the sea breeze, and from time to time he had to use his hands to straighten it.

Half of them were absolute beauties, and their average age was only sixteen. They carried an armchair, a fox skin mattress, a silver spittoon, and a lacquer food box that was carved with red lacquer … A group of people surrounded Keeper Niu, inviting the old master to sit and rest.

But today, Keeper Niu did not do it even if it was abnormal. He impatiently ordered these servants to leave as he wanted to stand there and blow the sea breeze.

The one on the left and right side of the Keeper Niu was the biggest grain merchant, Boss Mi, but Old Mi was much more low-key than the Keeper Niu. Behind him were two lackeys who kept their heads lowered as they looked at the fish in the sea.

"I say, what about Fatty Niu?" Why have you been getting fatter and fatter these few years? When you were in Tanggu, you were at most a pig, why did you become a beef cow when you reached there … " Boss Mi laughed teasingly and said, "The servants should be fewer, look at how fat you are, if you don't move now, you should be carried out the door by someone else!"

Keeper Niu of the Four Seas Trading Company stared at him, "What's wrong with Fatty? This was good fortune! "Who's like you, a bug can't grow meat by itself, these kinds of people have no conscience …"

The two of them looked very familiar. They would scold each other when the other person scolded them. The people beside them would even occasionally interrupt and tease the other people on the side.

Time passed minute after minute, the joke was gone, Boss Mi took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already past ten in the morning "Why is it not time yet?" The telegram said he should be there by nine! "Why are we so late …"

"Wait a moment, there are many accidents on the sea. Who knows what happened …"

"Shut up, pui pui …" Your crow's beak is really unlucky! "

"The old shopkeeper is blessed with great fortune. We have walked this sea road dozens of times yet we have not even encountered a typhoon. What can happen to us?"

"That's right, everyone's lives and belongings are with the old shopkeeper, can't you say something nice?"

After being scolded by the big boss, the merchant who leaked the information did not dare to retort and only cupped his hands in apology.

There were many ships on the sea waiting in line for the dock to dock. However, the first dock had already been empty for three days, just waiting for the most respected guest.

The police officer patrolling in the distance and the soldier beside him whispered, "Good boy, what a scene today!" "That tyrant has gathered all of the top ranking wealth gods here. If someone throws a grenade over, all of the Chinese businesses will close down!"

"Shut up! Then you can just tell this bro everything, and be careful not to let the CIA catch you and start drinking tea after that … "

The patrolling police quickly lit a cigarette and smiled without saying anything. Although it was a joke, that was all.

The God of Fortune and his men were all gathered at the pier right now, staring at Sea Breeze for more than two hours, not even bothering to work anymore. The one waiting for them was not Xiao Letian who still had his victorious army, if that was the case, he would probably be called out to welcome them.

They were welcoming the leader of the Chinese business, old shopkeeper Fan Lian!

Amongst the Chinese people, there was only one person who could be honored as the old shopkeeper and that was the Prime Minister's father-in-law, Fan Lian.

The three main companies in the Chinese financial system, the first was the Letian Firm, the second was the Letian Bank, and the third was the Chinese Central Bank. They were all created by the old man himself and his subordinates were spread throughout the entire Chinese business circle.

The old shopkeeper had already left the Ryukyu since the new year. It was not because he was willing to leave at the most difficult time, but because his big brother, Fan Ru, was already unable to make it back home, accompanying his big brother on the last leg of his life. He had agreed to big brother's unreasonable request, and then he sent the losses.

But now that old shopkeeper had dealt with the matters of the nation, he could no longer stay here. When he found out that the Bravehearts had achieved complete victory, he pushed aside all thoughts of leaving the Tanggu and headed straight for Ryukyu from the capital.

The war was over, and the soldiers could take a break. But the busiest part of the business was coming, and how to divide the spoils after the war was more difficult than fighting.

The so-called aquaculture special auction license was actually just a fake act. All the qualified merchants had to gather together and communicate with each other in secret. The splitting up had already begun.

Time passed minute by minute, old shopkeeper's passenger ship still did not arrive, people were sweating all over their heads, Keeper Niu and Boss Mi had drank two large jars of cold tea, the toilet had run five or six rounds, it looked like the rich and powerful families had too much kidney.

"It's here!" old shopkeeper's passenger ship, Fan Li! "I saw Fan Li's banner …" Immediately after, there was someone waving a signal flag at the lighthouse, Floor 1 was immediately thrown into chaos, these huge merchants with tens of millions of properties all obediently stood there, like a primary school student, in two rows to the left and right, silently waiting for Fan Lian's arrival.

The Western Merchant Shipping and the foreign merchants on the docks were also affected by the atmosphere and could not help but stand up straight. Not far away, there were many stewards commanding the workers to hang a hundred thousand firecrackers. The drums, gongs, and lions dancing teams were also prepared.

Ten minutes later, the figure of a scissor boat appeared on the sea. The pure white sail of the boat circled around the wind as it flew towards the tyrant, and not only were there two Chinese warships following it, the three ships that pierced through the sea became bigger and bigger in everyone's line of sight.

"old shopkeeper is about to disembark, everything is ready … Martial law, maintain order! "

At 12 noon, the brand-new Fan Li slowly docked on the dock. When old shopkeeper's figure was revealed on the pedals, a hundred over firecrackers were set ablaze under an order from the dock. The firecrackers roared and the smoke from the gunpowder rolled over.

The gongs and drums started to bang and bang. The lion dancing team used all of their skills to meet them head on.

"Welcome, old shopkeeper …" All the merchants on the pier shouted in unison as they bowed respectfully. Even the fat Keeper Niu, who was more than two hundred kilograms, had clenched his teeth and bent his waist to ninety degrees. He was so tired that he was sweating.

"Humph!" No one would have thought that old shopkeeper would not even have a sliver of courtesy and directly snorted coldly, "Are you all full? "After the war, there are so many things for you to do. If you don't work in the morning, you can come here and waste your time!"

"Do your job well. It's better than anything else for me to cut back on my hard work!"
