Chapter 1162 Coincidence?
Only Wei Hong and a few others knew about what happened in Northeast China. That evening, when Hong Xin was chatting with Wei Shang on the phone, she told him about it as an interesting little thing.
"If it weren't for my eldest sister taking bodyguards with her, I would have really wanted you all to hurry back to the capital!" Wei Shang said with a hint of helplessness.
"Oh dear, we've only just arrived, how can we go back like this?" Hong Xin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Look, you almost had an accident in Lushun, and then another one in Linjiang. Didn't you realize that it's too dangerous for a group of women to travel alone like this?" Wei Shang said helplessly.
“Didn’t Big Sister bring bodyguards with her? What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, when we were in Baishan, Uncle Gao asked the Armed Forces Department to apply for a pistol for each of us immediately!” Hong Xin said with a smile.
"Really? Uncle Gao really got a pistol for each of you?" Wei Shang was somewhat shocked, after all, this was in China! Firearms were absolutely taboo!
"Really! I even learned how to fire a gun! It's a pity that my older sister doesn't let us carry guns around all the time, saying it's too dangerous, so she keeps all our guns! Only she and her two bodyguards always have guns with them." At this point, Hong Xin pouted cutely and complained to Wei Shang, but unfortunately, it was over the phone and Wei Shang couldn't see it.
"Alright, I'm only doing this for your own good! After all, apart from Fourth Sister-in-law, you're all ordinary people. If the gun goes off accidentally on you, it would be a huge problem!" Although Wei Shang couldn't see it, he could guess that Hong Xin was pouting, so he quickly tried to coax her.
The two talked on the phone until after 9 p.m. before stopping.
The next morning, Wei Shang took a plane to Shanghai. He wanted to meet someone there: Ding Qing!
Ding Qing came here to seek cooperation, and when he told Wei Shang the news, he only wanted Wei Shang to help introduce him to a person with great influence.
However, Wei Shang happened to be free these days, so he brought Wei Qing to Shanghai to visit him and introduce Wei Qing to Ding Qing.
Wei Shang's goal was to transport some goods to South Korea through Wei Qing's channels. Of course, these goods would be transported via Ding Qing's ships.
Ever since Situ Haonan led his men back into South Korea and established a foothold, Wei Shang has been thinking about how to provide some assistance to Haonan.
The most effective way to help is to enable Situ Haonan to build a huge force in South Korea, and all of this requires money!
However, due to the complex project in Jingzhou, the Skybridge Society no longer had much money to support Situ Haonan, since their original goal was simply to rebuild a bridgehead in South Korea.
So Situ Haonan had no choice but to ask Wei Shang for help. The only solution Wei Shang could think of was to help Situ Haonan make more money. After all, in a developed country like South Korea, money can solve all problems!
The only way for Situ Haonan to make more money is through legitimate channels, and in this day and age, the most profitable business is undoubtedly international trade!
So Situ Haonan approached Ding Qing, asking him to help manage everything in the company. After all, Situ Haonan was a master of fighting and other skills, but asking him to do business? Forget it, it would be better to kill him.
Ding Qing's own sect in the North Gate also has a smuggling business, but if one can make money legally, why would they choose to smuggle?
Against this backdrop, Ding Qing, representing the Peking University faction and the Southern branch of the Tianqiao Society, arrived in Shanghai.
Ding Qing's visit was merely a preparatory step. As he landed in Shanghai, four giant cargo ships simultaneously arrived in the waters off Shanghai. Once a buyer was found, the four cargo ships would dock to conduct the transaction.
"Thank you so much, Brother Wei Shang!" Ding Qing saw Wei Shang standing outside the exit and immediately ran over to formally bow to thank him.
“No need to be so polite, Ding Qing! We’re old friends after all. Besides, Hao Nan needs a local bigwig like you to take care of him in South Korea. We’re friends who help each other, aren’t we?” Wei Shang helped Ding Qing up and said with a smile.
"Brother Wei Shang, it is truly an honor for me, Ding Qing, to be your friend in this life!" Ding Qing said, bowing again.
"Oh, I told you not to be so polite! By the way, how's Hao Nan doing in South Korea?" Wei Shang pulled Ding Qing and headed straight for the airport exit. If they stayed any longer, they might become tomorrow's headline news.
(Shocking! Why is a South Korean so subservient to a Chinese person? Who is he?)
Wei Shang didn't want to be the center of attention, so he pulled Ding Qing along as they walked and asked questions.
"Brother Hao Nan is doing very well in South Korea. Especially one of his men he acquired at the South Korean docks. That guy is incredibly skilled, his kung fu is no less than Brother Hao Nan's, and he's now a top general under Brother Hao Nan! He's also recruited many locals to become members of his branch gangs. Now, Brother Hao Nan controls many docks along the Han River, not only restoring the territory previously held by Han Bin, but also expanding quite a bit!" Ding Qing said to Nei Shang with a beaming smile.
"It seems that Hao Nan is doing well in South Korea. I'm not afraid to tell you, our Tianqiao Society is very powerful, but right now we only have branches in South Korea and Ryukyu! So Ding Qing, what did you bring for trade this time?" Wei Shang asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Brother Wei Shang, this time I brought all the most popular things from South Korea, including clothing, electronic products, cars, and many other small items!" Ding Qing said very modestly.
“Okay, I’ll introduce you to my brother. He’s the vice president of a textile import and export company. I’m sure he can introduce you to a lot of business!” Wei Shang said with a smile.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Ding Qing couldn't help but feel grateful. Luckily, Brother Hao Nan told him to ask Brother Wei Shang for help after he came to the mainland. This guy really has connections everywhere!
Meanwhile, in Lushun, Northeast China, four brothers who had set off from Linjiang were on a passenger ship. "Big brother, are we really going to seek refuge with that Ding Qing?" the man with the mustache asked, his face full of hesitation.
“Well, I can’t find a suitable elective course besides him! After all, we’re going to South Korea, and without the protection of local gangsters, we’ll be wiped out by them!” the leader said.
"Why don't we just go to South Korea? Why do we have to go to Shanghai first?" one of the underlings asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's because the person I'm going to seek refuge with is currently in Shanghai on business! We can just go find him and have him take us back to South Korea. That way, we can save on airfare for all four of us. Why not?" the eldest brother said with a big smile.
