"Dear, he said he couldn't afford 100,000 yuan. What do you think?" Ha Tong moved the plate of dried fried beef tendril to himself, drove more than half of it into the plate, and started eating with relish.

Luo Jialing looked at him with contempt: "Didn't you say that you don't eat meat except on the Sabbath?"

"This is already done, it is shameful to waste food." Ha Tong ate the beef tenderloin in big mouthfuls, and looked at the plate of braised fish pieces in his eyes.

"I think this Chinese man surnamed Lu doesn't have much money. If he is very rich, he wouldn't have paid himself to a British widow. Ha Tong, you are also a person worth over one million now. For these dozens of acres of land, it's really worth it."

Luo Jialing ate very little. She heard from the doctor that the reason why she couldn't get pregnant was that she was too fat. She is now studying Buddhism with the monks in Wumushan and her meat diet is gradually decreasing.

"The reason why I, Ha Tong, can achieve today's achievements is entirely due to my usual savings and the greatest benefits at the lowest cost."

Ha Tong gave up the beef sticks and began to attack the fish with all his might.

"Even the price before the war was only 2,000 acres, not only 60,000 yuan, so how much effort it took?"

Luo Jialing lit a cigarette. She looked at Ha Tong in surprise. He had almost wiped out the dishes on the table by himself. He began to tear open the wheat cake and dip the soup and stuff it into his stomach.

"First of all, we have to figure out his financial situation. If he is really strong and is determined to be with that land, we don't have to fight him head-on, so let him go. There is not only that land on the beach."

Luo Jialing sat upright: "What did you say? Ha Tong, your current identity is different. You are a director of the British Concession Work Department and you officially signed up for the auction. If you give up, it would be equivalent to losing to a country boy who just debuted. What's the face?"

Ha Tong swallowed the last bite of wheat cake with difficulty, rubbed his stomach and said, "What kind of face do I want? I remember when I was working at Sassoon, no matter it was windy, rainy or hot sun, I went to the slums to collect rent from house to house, and I was scolded for being a little bastard."

He finally burped out a burp and took a comfortable breath.

"Even if I have money now, I am still a lowly Jew. Do you think those nobles will look down on you? Face, if you want to be face, you will not be as good as me today."

"Hmph, just wait. After the auction, newspapers of all sizes will inevitably say that the real estate tycoon Hatong was defeated by an unknown person."

Ha Tong took out a cigar and put it in his mouth as if nothing had happened. He didn't ignite the fire, so he couldn't bear to smoke such an expensive cigar! This was just a style learned from the British aristocrats.

Luo Jialing's words still had a certain effect on him. He took such great effort to pick her up from the low-level red light area, which was to determine that she was a woman who would be prosperous for her husband. Every word she said should be carefully considered.

Find out the details and formulate corresponding countermeasures. If you miss a blow, you will escape unstoppably. You must never exasperate the money you earned with the young man.

This is the strategy formulated by Hatong.

"Dear, have you discovered it? There was a big loophole in Luther's words just now. He said that every time we bid, he would add 100 yuan to our bid, which shows that he did not understand the auction rules of the Shanghai Daotai Land Bureau. He is an amateur."

Ha Tong smelled the scent of the cigar and solemnly put it away and inserted it into her suit pocket.

...

Maggie walked out of the Osmanthus Garden with his arm in his arms, and did not let go of her carriage, until she went home.

"You are really willing to fight for me and Ha, and every time you add a hundred yuan to the price he offered?"

Maggie finally couldn't help asking before going upstairs to take a shower.

"Stop being passionate, this is just a strategy, defeat him psychologically first." He reached out and patted Maggie gently on the face.

"I don't care, I take it seriously. I'm so happy today." After saying that, he happily hummed the song and went upstairs.

...

HSBC Bank Associate Richard's Office.

Lu Yongzhi entered the door, put two bottles of Scotland-made black whiskey into his wine cabinet, and then made himself a cup of tea.

"Richard, you have to help me with two things." Lu Yongzhi said straight to the point and put a few real estate certificate documents on the table.

"Mortgage loan?" Richard understood what he meant as soon as he saw the property certificate.

“Yes, loans are urgent.”

Richard looked through the property certificate and said, "My friend, within my authority, I will give you the maximum loan amount. I will help you with it later. What's the other thing?"

"You have to do me a favor and help me pass the loan information to Hatong, but the amount will be 100,000." Lu Yongzhi pulled out a cigar and threw it to Richard.

Richard took it and carefully cut the seal with scissors.

"My friend, you know. We have rules in banking and cannot disclose customer information. I am very embarrassed for your request. Well, for the sake of my friend, I will introduce you to you."

"Who?"

"A Bai Xiangren who is very close to Ji Haoning, a financial adviser under Ha Tong, will pass on your news to Ha Tong. But he is a little tight recently, so you have to send him a little. Remember, don't say I asked you to find him."

Ha Tong hired two Chinese people, one named Chen, who was specially sent to Shanghai Daotai Mansion for him to acquire land for him and clear the relationship. The other is Ji Haoning, who specializes in major banks and is a financial broker. Both of them were originally from Sassoon and were not successful. After Ha Tong established his own foreign company, he dug up both of them.

Richard casually wrote down the address of a teahouse.

"This person usually appears in this teahouse at 10 o'clock every morning to drink tea and eat snacks. It is easy to recognize. His surname is Wu, and he has a nickname called Shouhou."

Lu Yongzhi took the note, remembered it silently, and then tore it off.

"Richard, don't worry, just pretend I haven't been here today."

Lu Yongzhi found the teahouse according to the address. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw a table sitting in a long gown and top hat, and a civilized stick leaning against the table. He was leaning on a photo of Suzhou and was reading carefully.

"Is it Mr. Wu?"

"It's right here, sir, what's the price?" The thin monkey looked away from the newspaper and looked up and down at the uninvited guest.

Lu Yongzhi moved his chair away and greeted the waiter to serve two guests with snacks and a pot of tea.

"I heard that Mr. Wu and Mr. Ji from Harbin's foreign company have any contact?"

The thin monkey said in a remark, "Old friend, I often come and go."

"I wonder if Mr. Wu is interested in having an opportunity to make small money by running errands?"

"Let's talk about it."

"Mr. Hatong is preparing to bid for a piece of land on Nanjing West Road, and I happen to have bank information on his main bidding rival Maggie Luther. Mr. Hatong must be interested in this information. I need a channel that can speak to Mr. Hatong."

"Who are you?"

"The former employee of Maggie Luther's company, who is in finance, just resigned yesterday."

"I understand, we both work together."
