Chapter 42 Ways to Make Money

British Concession,
stereotyped party,
"Who killed it, do you know?" Looking at the content in the newspaper, Shen Qingshan wasn't surprised at all. Gangsters are fighting each other, and one side is wiped out. This happens often.

"I don't know yet, but I heard from the patrol room that all the members of the Little Knife Gang died from the same kind of knife wound, and judging from the traces of the fight, there should be only nine people at that time." Shi Shuangling pondered.

"Eight died, a total of nine people... that is to say, one person killed them all?" Shen Qingshan frowned slightly, and many guesses arose in his mind instantly.

"Well, the three surviving members of the Wild Dog Gang also said that one of them killed them."

"Do you see the face clearly?"

"No, it was late at night, and they only saw a man, tall and thin." Shi Shuangling shook his head.

"Slender and tall...could it be Xia Junlin? It's normal for Huo Tianhong to send someone to clean up the house when the Little Knife Gang rebelled, but the Wild Dog Gang has no grudge against him, how could it be..."

Huo Tianhong was contemplating when suddenly a younger brother came in from outside.

"Boss, a beggar sent a letter just now, saying that someone asked him to hand it to you."

"Letter? Bring it for me to see."

Shen Qingshan took the letter and opened it.

It read: "In a few days, Huo Tianhong will hire the two brothers Qin Hu and Qin Bao from the [-]th Taibao to pretend to be black and white to rob his family's smoke and soil, so as to blame the stereotyped party and have the initiative to start a fight."

After reading it, Shen Qingshan's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately said to the younger brother just now: "Go and catch that beggar, and ask who gave him this letter."

"Brother!" Shi Shuangling quickly stopped him: "Now is a special period, we better not provoke people from the Beggar Gang."

Shanghai is not just Yongxin and their two big forces, the Eight Hundred Drivers Association, the Three Thousand Axe Gang, the Hall of Strange People, the Fengming Building, the Shipping Chamber of Commerce, and... the Twenty Thousand Beggars Gang!
The gang of beggars is united, and the leader of the gang, Chu Tianshu, is not only the head of the Thirteen Taibao, but also has extremely high martial arts skills. He is also the top three tycoons of Yongxin in the previous generation. To deal with the stereotyped party together with Yong Xinlian, for the stereotyped party, it will really double the pressure of being hit on both sides.

"Then do you think what the letter says is true or not?" Shen Qingshan calmed down, sat on the chair, and kept pointing his index finger at the table.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, we all have to be careful, and... this seems to be an opportunity..."

Shi Shuangling said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Shen Qingshan looked up at him, the two looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's meaning.

"I leave it to you to do it..."

.........

On a tall building a few hundred meters away, Chen Yu quietly watched the scene of the beggar delivering the letter with a telescope.

This letter was sent by him, and the contents inside are all true.

If the plot is allowed to develop, with the help of the protagonist, the stereotyped party will soon be defeated by Yongxin, Shen Qingshan will be reduced to a homeless dog, and Yongxin will become the largest gangster in Shanghai, owning casinos and opium businesses in the British and French concessions.

This is what Chen Yu doesn't want to see. Only in troubled times can he have a chance to stand out. If the chaos is not enough, wouldn't his martial arts be wasted.

Back in the courtyard, thoughts surged in Chen Yu's mind, and he realized that he was short of money.

He didn't feel this way before, he just thought it was enough to eat and drink, but now he realizes that there are too many places to use money, he needs money to buy people's hearts and recruit younger brothers, old K needs money to build a network, sharks need money to form water bandits, To do all of these well, at least hundreds of thousands of oceans are needed!

"What's the way to make money? Hmm... rob? No, I've been a little too pushy recently, and Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng.

But... besides robbing me, what else can I do? "

Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

How to get money fast?
Selling tobacco?People smuggling?
No, these are really quick money, but Chen Yu's conscience can't bear it, the smoke and earth have harmed the country, not only hurt the people's health, but also emptied the country's treasury. Seeing the end of the people in the ravine, Chen Yu asked himself, he is not so crazy, he can't do this kind of thing.

"By the way, tomb robbers!"

A light flashed in Chen Yu's mind, but he had forgotten what he learned in "Old Nine Gates".

Due to the terrain of Shanghai, there may not be many tombs, but it should be enough to temporarily relieve his needs.

In addition, he also needs a serious business that can make Yongxin clean.

From the day he came to Shanghai, he made a decision to take Yongxin as his own. Yongxin is doing black business, and if he doesn't clean it up, it will be difficult to survive for a long time.

However, what kind of business can completely transform a company with thousands of people, not only to feed thousands of people, but also to make a lot of money?

"This business must have enough prospects, enough market, and it is not yet mature enough..."

Chen Yu paced in the room thinking, after a long time, he stopped, and slapped himself on the head suddenly: "Oh, why am I so stupid? I have forgotten my old profession!"

When he was in college, he studied fine chemical engineering, which involves many fields, such as medicine, daily chemicals, food industry, environmental protection and so on.

He majored in daily chemicals, including the production of cosmetics.

Although Chen Yu doesn't know the current price of cosmetics, he remembers a sentence in Zhang Ailing's prose "Tong Yan Wu Ji": "The first time I made money in my life was when I was in middle school. I drew a cartoon and submitted it to the English " Damei Evening News, the newspaper office gave me five yuan, and I immediately went to buy a small sized Danqi lipstick."

A small inferior lipstick cost 5 yuan in the Republic of China!It is equivalent to 1500 RMB in later generations!

But its cost is only so much, less than 100 renminbi, even with the packing box, it is probably less than 300 renminbi, a full 20 times the profit!

Mr. Ma once said: "If there is a 10% profit, the capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, the capital will be active; if there is a 50% profit, the capital will take risks; for 100% profit , capital dares to trample on all human laws; if there are more than 300% profits, capital dares to commit any crime, and even risk the risk of being hanged.”

What now? 2000% profit!
Cosmetics brands in the period of the Republic of China, such as Danqi, Lux, Shuangmei, Yueli Chang’e, etc., the cosmetics they produced were very rough. As far as lipsticks were concerned, they were very dry and not moisturizing, especially the perfumes. Chen Yu was also drunk , These people actually regard toilet water as perfume, and they even regard it as a treasure.

Chen Yu is confident that as long as he does this business, he will be able to occupy a place in Shanghai's cosmetics industry in a short time.

As for offending those cosmetic companies, hehe, the risk is worth taking.
