Dai Li couldn't say a word. It turned out that he still wanted to talk about the tobacco business he had thought up yesterday, but now he couldn't go on.

He didn't know if Du Yuesheng turned the topic to Lu Ming and refused him to intervene in Shanghai's opium business in disguise.

But he has already expressed his thoughts. If Du Yuesheng does not get an affirmative answer, he will not be able to do tobacco business in Shanghai.

"Yunong, believe me, quickly restore the relationship with Lao Sheng, then you will not be short of money, expecting to grab business in Shanghai to make money to support Fuxingshe, this is not the best policy, I am really doing it for your own good." Only then did Du Yuesheng give his answer.

Dai Li's heart was extremely gloomy. He really didn't expect that his two goals for coming to Shanghai would be defeated.

He already knew that it would be difficult to ask the Qinghong Gang to stay out of the matter and let him suppress the Cao Gang, but he didn't expect Du Yuesheng to be unaccommodating.

According to his thinking, suppressing the Cao Gang is still good for the Qinghong Gang, at least there is no harm at all.

Dai Li regretted that he came to Du Yuesheng directly. He should go to Zhang Xiaolin, a dazed young man. Zhang Xiaolin would definitely agree.

As long as one of the Big Three of the Shanghai Bund Gang, Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, and Zhang Xiaolin agrees, things will be easy.

Among the three, Du Yuesheng was the most powerful, so Dai Li was the first to meet him, but he was politely rejected.

Now turning around to look for Zhang Xiaolin would complicate the matter. If Zhang Xiaolin knew that he had gone to Du Yuesheng first, but Du Yuesheng did not agree, he would definitely not get involved in this matter.

Although the matter of suppressing the Cao Gang is important, making money is also a major matter, but Du Yuesheng refused him to intervene in the tobacco business in Shanghai, which Dai Li never expected.

Dai Li said that Shanghai's tobacco and soil business has tens of millions of profits every year, which is actually an underestimation. According to what he knows, the annual profit of Shanghai's tobacco and soil business is a full three thousand.

Such a large business is almost completely controlled by the Qinghong gang, and it is completely monopolized. Tangtang Fuxingshe only wants to get about 100 million from it, which he thinks is not too much.

Dai Li believed that the 100 million yuan was not his personal income, but he came to get the money on behalf of the government department and Mr. Jiang. Unexpectedly, Du Yuesheng didn't give face at all and directly vetoed it.

No wonder Mr. Sun Yat-sen said that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and leaders always use this sentence to warn everyone. Now it seems that the revolution has not yet succeeded.

Not to mention the fragmented situation of the peripheral provinces, even in the center of the government—Great Shanghai, it is difficult for them to make decisions, and it depends on the face of the gang bosses to spend a sum of money.

So, who is in charge of this city?

Shanghai is not in the hands of the government, and the government's administrative power only controls Shanghai in name.

It is Sheng's Industry that actually controls Shanghai's finances, but it is the Qinghong Gang and Cao Gang that control Shanghai's order.

These giants have clearly divided the top and bottom of Shanghai, and even the government can't penetrate it, and can't pour water into it.

Dai Li suddenly felt something was wrong. He overestimated the generosity and generosity of Du Yuesheng and other big shots, and also overestimated the power and connections in his hands.

Dai Li always thought that he had a strong relationship with Du Yuesheng, so he was the first to come to Du Yuesheng. Unexpectedly, Du Yuesheng directly rejected his two requests without thinking about his past relationship.

"Yunong, if you are short of money for personal use, it's okay to get one hundred and eighty thousand, but if it's for public affairs, forget it, don't be thankless in the end. The government is engaged in tobacco and soil trading while banning smoking. If those reporters find out, they will pester you endlessly, and you will have to bear all the crimes at that time, why bother?" Du Yuesheng said in a slow tone.

Dai Li shook his head. He is not personally rich, but he would never look down to his elder brother to get money. What would it be like a beggar?

Dai Li believed that he had great ambitions, and he could not bow down to anyone except voluntarily serving as a leader and dedicating himself to the party and the country.

Even if he went back to eat pancakes and pickles, he would not be inferior to these gang leaders because of his own affairs.

Now that he has joined the revolution, put on military uniform, and is now the head of the Fuxing Society, he must stand up straight in terms of any personal interests.

Even though he had been in gangs for a few days before, Dai Li still looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart, thinking that they were the root of all kinds of evil in society.

If the revolution is to succeed, sooner or later all these people's lives will be abolished. They are so proud now, but it's just that the government can't take care of them for a while.

What made Dai Li particularly upset was that Du Yuesheng actually used the government's ban on smoking as an excuse to refuse his intervention.

Several big bosses of the Qinghong gang know that the government bans smoking, but they earn tens of millions of yuan from the tobacco business every year. When did they take the government ban seriously?

The government turns a blind eye to you, allowing you to make huge profits every year. Now that the government wants a piece of the pie, you have this attitude, and you don’t even want to cut a piece of meat.

Dai Li was furious in his heart, now it seems that it is not the Cao Gang that should be suppressed first, but the Qinghong Gang, the source of the poison.

Although Du Yuesheng didn't know what he was thinking, he also knew that Dai Li was angry.

But Du Yuesheng didn't care at all, he felt that Dai Li's official position in the past few years had become a little smoother, and his personality was a little drifting, and he was no longer as respectful as when he was hanging out with him.

But this is not the reason why he rejected Dai Li.

He didn't give Dai Li face because he was angry. He called Mr. Jiang, hoping to let Lu Ming go, but he got a soft nail.

He felt that Lao Jiang's actions were too extreme, and he didn't give face to the local forces in Shanghai at all, and wanted to find opportunities to suppress them, representatives of Shanghai.

That's what Du Yuesheng thought, Lao Jiang arrested Lu Ming just to repair the Sheng family.

Now that Dai Li has come to Shanghai again, saying that he wants to suppress the Cao Gang, is the local power in Shanghai so cheap in their eyes?

This is not acceptable. They cannot be allowed to ask for anything and agree to everything, and they will not take the local forces in Shanghai seriously.

If it was simply that Lu Ming was arrested, it would be a trivial matter, and Du Yuesheng didn't care at all, but then there was a short-selling of Sheng's property in the stock market.

This made Du Yuesheng vigilant, thinking that the government was going to attack the Sheng family, and Lu Ming was only arrested to prepare for public opinion by shorting the Sheng family.

This matter was not over yet, Dai Li came over to suppress the Cao Gang, which made Du Yuesheng's vigilance to a higher level, thinking that this was Lao Jiang who wanted to continue to attack their gang.

After shorting the Sheng family first, and then suppressing the Cao Gang, it is self-evident who will be attacked next, and of course it is the Qinghong Gang.

That's why Du Yuesheng doesn't give Dai Li any face. In Du Yuesheng's view, this is no longer a matter of face, but a matter of the future fate of the Shanghai gang.

As for Dai Li's desire to get a share of the opium and soil business in Shanghai, there is no room for negotiation.

Over the years, Du Yuesheng has started to go ashore to engage in legal business, but the biggest profit is still the tobacco and soil business.

Of course, the smoke and earth business is not owned by him personally, but the treasury of the entire Qinghong gang, and the division of interests between them has already been divided.

Now that Dai Li wants to share a piece, whose flesh should he cut?Have you ever thought about the feelings of the gang forces in Shanghai before cutting the flesh?

The boss of the Shanghai Bund gang seems to be making money every day, but in fact the expenses are also very high, and the annual net profit is not as high as outsiders imagined.

After all, gangs and Sheng's industry are not the same thing. The gang's industry is mainly located in Shanghai, while Sheng's industry has long been deployed in the entire Jiangnan, so it can be said that it has deep roots.

"Yunong, it's hard for you to come to Shanghai once, stay a little longer, I'll call a few brothers now, and have a good get-together tonight." Du Yuesheng laughed.

"Forget it, I have to go back to Nanjing to report to the committee. This time I won't stay any longer. Next time I come, let's have a good get-together with the elder brothers." Dai Li smiled awkwardly.

"It's not like you don't have time for a day. If they know you're here and leave in a hurry without showing your face, they will blame you." Du Yuesheng also smiled insincerely.

Du Yuesheng really wanted to keep Dai Li, and carefully understand what Lao Jiang was thinking and what he was planning to do in Shanghai. Did he really want to take all the power in Shanghai back to the government?

If that's the case, the gang will be the first to stand up and fight back, and they will never sit still.

"Brother, I'm not hypocritical. I really have to go back immediately because of something urgent. I'll come back in two days." Dai Li said dryly.

"That's all right, you are a member of the public family now, time is precious, and you can't help yourself, unlike idlers like us." Du Yuesheng kept sending Dai Li outside the gate.

Dai Li got into the car and told the driver to return to Nanjing immediately.

The driver was stunned for a moment. He had been with Dai Li for several years, and he knew that Dai Li would not leave without playing for ten and a half months every time he came to Shanghai. Why did he leave this time just after arriving?

However, seeing Dai Li's posture as if he was going to eat people, he knew that he was in a bad mood today, so he didn't dare to ask a word, so he quickly started the car and left.
