"Oh!" Ning Zhiheng's eyes narrowed, and he straightened up, clearly intrigued.
Su Yue, who had been silent all along, quickly spoke up: "Sir, land in the concession is extremely valuable right now, and real estate is the most sought-after property. This batch of properties is no small amount!"
Ning Zhiheng was well aware of Yue Sheng's wealth. Yue Sheng had laid out all the real estate in the International Settlement and the French Concession for Ning Zhiheng to choose from. In the end, in order to keep a low profile, Ning Zhiheng chose a few hidden properties that were not known to anyone. Now, hearing that Yue Sheng was willing to invest so much, he couldn't help but be moved.
Although the Japanese will occupy the concessions in a while, that is, this year, and end the "isolated island" situation of the Shanghai concessions, and Yue Sheng's properties will be difficult to protect, the fact that he is willing to invest this money now is enough to show Yue Sheng's attitude.
Ning Zhiheng nodded slowly and said to Si Guangyuan, "Very good, I see Mr. Yue's sincerity. Alright, as long as you can meet these conditions, I can restrain Li Zhiqun, and we will stop fighting and not launch any more attacks!"
As soon as Ning Zhiheng spoke, Si Guangyuan was overjoyed. This matter was finally settled. With Chairman Fujiwara's promise, Li Zhiqun would never dare to refuse.
“That’s great! Thank you, sir. But there’s one more thing. Li Zhiqun arrested nearly two hundred employees of the Central Bank, and they’re currently being held in cell number 76. I’ve heard the conditions are terrible, and many people have fallen ill. Could you release them as soon as possible? Otherwise, I’m afraid it might lead to deaths.”
Ning Zhiheng frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "I can get Li Zhiqun to release the man immediately. However, you must guarantee that the Chongqing government will not go back on its word. After the four major banks start operating, they should be the first to accept China Reserve Bank currency to set an example for other banks. At the same time, they should not attack the properties of China Reserve Bank and Fujiwara Company again. Otherwise, not only Li Zhiqun, but even I will not agree."
"Of course, of course. If things go wrong, we will bear all the consequences. At that time, you can do whatever you want with us!" Si Guangyuan patted his chest and agreed repeatedly.
"In that case, I will hand over the assets immediately. You can send someone to take over, and the formalities can be completed quickly. Please inform Li Zhiqun as soon as possible. I heard that he just launched another violent attack. The Chongqing authorities have been restrained, but I'm afraid things might get complicated again!"
Si Guangyuan couldn't wait to finish the handover. He knew Fujiwara Tomohito quite well; he was a man of his word, and once Fujiwara had accepted the benefits, things would not go wrong.
Ning Zhiheng nodded. To reassure Si Guangyuan, he went to his desk, picked up the phone, and made a call.
In the director's office of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, Li Zhiqun was explaining the next steps to Wu Shicai: "The Central Bank has now closed down, but the offices of the other three major banks in the French Concession are still open. Next, we will target these offices one by one and eliminate them, starting with the Farmers Bank. This time, we will make a big one. I want to show these people that even if they hide in the French Concession, I still have ways to make them close down."
Li Zhiqun was now confident of victory. After three months of fierce fighting, he had finally achieved a result thanks to his home advantage. Now, he was even more determined to expand his gains and completely crush the four major banks, so that all the banks and money companies in Shanghai could see what would happen if they went against him.
Just as he was feeling confident, the phone rang. Li Zhiqun picked it up casually and heard a steady voice.
"Mr. Li, I am Tomohito Fujiwara!"
Just one sentence made Li Zhiqun's hand tremble, and he almost dropped the microphone, but he quickly recovered and said respectfully, "Mr. Fujiwara, what are your instructions?"
"Come to me right now, I have something to tell you!"
Li Zhiqun was immediately dumbfounded. Fujiwara Tomohito actually wanted him to pay a visit and said he had something to tell him? What was going on?
However, now was not the time for him to delve into the matter. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and replied, "Yes, Your Excellency will be there shortly!"
