Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

The "New Far East" was besieged all night, Moss Road was crowded with people, and the main entrance leading directly to the trading market on the fourth floor could no longer be entered. Zhu Ming'an had no choice but to transfer from the warehouse of Dahua Company to Baida Law Firm , I got on the elevator and arrived at the office of New Far East. As if seeing a savior, Mr. Tian, ​​the director of the office, who was sweating profusely, grabbed Zhu Ming'an's hand and said, "Chairman, you are here, that's all right. You are the person in charge. I don't care about the affairs here!"

Zhu Ming'an looked at Mr. Tian, ​​and said with a wry smile: "Run away, you all run away! Anyway, I was pushed to the massacre case, let's count as much as I deserve today!" Mr. Tian was a little ashamed: "Chairman, I... I have no intention of running away. If you don't run away at this point, can I run away? I... I mean, since you're here, it's up to you to decide , I... I won't leave, I just obey your orders!" Zhu Ming'an thought for a while and said: "Well, since 'New Far East' has gone bankrupt, I don't think there is any need to open the morning market again. In this way, we can always save a little loss on the books when the formal bankruptcy liquidation is completed. You should immediately arrange for someone to write When the proclamation is posted, don’t mention bankruptcy, just talk about internal liquidation, or say that the directors of the firm have a meeting, close the market for a day, and then file a bankruptcy declaration with the relevant authorities in the concession..."

Mr. Tian said: "This... I'm afraid it won't work? Don't you look at the number of people on Moss Road below! These people waited all night in the cold weather and kept making trouble. We don't open the market, and they don't rush in ? I'm afraid it will kill someone!" Zhu Ming'an kept silent, he had seen the situation on the street at the entrance of Dahua Company, and now he heard what Mr. Tian said, and went to the window to watch silently. Mr. Tian was right, the street on Moss Road downstairs was full of people, noises, shouts, and cursing, mixed together, constituted a hustle and bustle that filled the sky and sea.Many people held the stocks of "New Far East" tightly in their hands, waved their arms in the crowd, and squeezed hard to the door on the street.The situation in front of the door could not be seen clearly, but there was a faint sound of iron objects hitting the door, but it was audible...

Zhu Ming'an couldn't help thinking of Liu Ma, and felt that there must be many Liu Ma among these people on Moss Road, and his heart was filled with fear and sadness. Mr. Tian, ​​who was standing beside Zhu Mingan, said again: "It's impossible not to open the market. Listen, they are already smashing down the gate downstairs. Once they rush upstairs, it will be bad. There are wooden doors on both sides of the upstairs, which is even more difficult." Can't live." Zhu Mingan turned around from the window and said blankly: "Then open the door! Anyway, I'm a dead pig and I'm not afraid of being scalded by boiling water..."

At 9:10, the "New Far East" exchange was forced to open, and people rushed into the trading hall at once, occupying every inch of the hall.The fence under the clapping platform was squeezed down, and later, many people who could not bear the crowd climbed onto the cladding platform.During the entire filming process, at least a dozen people were crushed and injured. The "New Far East" stock opened at one yuan and two cents per share. After the market opened, there was only a thunderous sound of selling, and no one bought it, so it went straight down until it fell to a triangle per share. I ate some.

A thread of hope rose in Zhu Ming'an's heart again, and he thought nervously, asking Mr. Tian to invest the last more than 50,000 yuan in the "New Far East" at a triangular stock price.Mr. Tian insisted not to buy it, saying that "New Far East" has become a dead stock market, and the investment of 50,000 yuan is equivalent to throwing it into the water.Zhu Mingan didn't listen, like a mad dog that ate a dead man, he yelled with red eyes: "This is the last chance! Even if the market is dead, I want to gamble!" The investment of 50,000 yuan has almost no effect on the stock price. "New Far East" is still falling, and it has fallen to a dime before the market closes at noon, and no one buys another share, and the transaction stops.Those who failed to sell their stocks cursed angrily, and several bankrupt men and women passed out on the spot, and were carried by the field staff to the mission hospital across the street.

The order suddenly became chaotic, as if dynamite was ignited invisibly. At first, there was a burst of wailing in the trading market, and then some people, regardless of the stop of the field staff, swarmed and smashed the clapper table, and rushed into the office where Zhu Mingan was. Loot everything you can get your hands on. Zhu Ming'an panicked, just as he thought of calling the police station, a man in a gray cotton robe tore off the cord and took the phone away. A crying wife threw her snot and tears at him, insisting that he buy a lot of stocks in her hand, and pointed at Zhu Ming'an's forehead and scolded: "You beheaders, why are you killing people like this?" Why is the stock I bought for 26 yuan worth only a dime now?" Zhu Mingan stood against the wall and dared not answer or move.

The situation of Mr. Tian is also not good. He is the director of the office, and there are many people who know him, so there are many people who arrest him and beat him. Grabbed his collar, scratched his face, and tore his clothes.Mr. Tian was panicked, pointing at Zhu Ming'an and calling: "The chairman of 'New Far East' is the one named Zhu, if...you can talk to him if you have anything to say!" All the people in the room rushed towards Zhu Mingan. Zhu Mingan was terrified, and wanted to back away, but he was leaning against the wall, and there was no place to retreat, so he shouted in a panic: "You...don't make trouble, don't make trouble, one...everything can be judged according to the law... "

Where will those crazy people listen?He insisted on rushing forward, tearing and hitting him, and snatched the gold-plated pocket watch that Bai Mudan gave him. Zhu Ming'an didn't see clearly who took his watch, but only saw a hand...it was a woman's white hand, and when he shook it on his chest, the pocket watch disappeared. Zhu Mingan shouted again: "You...you are breaking the law..." This enraged everyone even more, and many fists swung towards them, and at the same time, there were desperate yells: "Aren't you breaking the law by opening this deceitful exchange?"

"If you break the law, you will be killed, you little red bastard! We don't want to live anyway!" "Hit! Hit! Hit these cannibals!" ... Zhu Mingan couldn't stand anymore, he squatted down softly along the wall, holding his head in his hands, and let his fists and feet fall on him.At first I still felt pain, but then I became numb. I didn't know that my forehead and the back of my hand were bleeding, and my eyes were closed tightly, like a zombie. Thinking also stopped at that moment, no fear, worry, life or death, nothing existed, and my mind was blank.

Later, my aunt Yu Wanzhen floated from the blank depths, waved to him, and smiled at him.Howling, he escaped from the crowd and rushed to his savior.My aunt was blown away by a gust of wind, and the red cloak fluttered in the wind.He chased desperately, and grabbed something on my aunt's body—it was that thing, a long strip, with a thin red rubber leather on one side and a green silk cloth on the other.When he was rejoicing, suddenly, out of nowhere, a filthy smell of blood came over him, and the thing wrapped around his neck, strangling him so much that he couldn't breathe anymore.His eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything... When he woke up, he found that a middle-aged man with a full beard had pulled the tie of his suit behind him, and was holding a revolver against his lower back.There were seven or eight men standing in front of them. They seemed to have guns too, but they didn't take them out. Zhu Mingan saw that they were holding something hard in their pockets and arms. The trading hall was still noisy, but there were not many people in the office. Zhu Ming'an struggled to stand up, and stood against the wall again. He wanted to ask what those people were doing? However, before Zhu Ming'an could open his mouth, a "top hat" in the lead came over and said, "Have you not died yet? That's good. If you are not dead, you have to pay back the debt. We belong to the headquarters of the Zhen Guo Army. Today, under the order of Liu Dujun, I came to collect the 820,000 military expenses!" Only then did Zhu Ming'an realize that the people in front of him were Zhen Guojun who had entered the concession in plain clothes to collect debts, so he swallowed the blood that flowed to his mouth, opened his mouth, and said with difficulty: "Sir...sir, you made a mistake, we 'New Far East' owes... a good debt, but... it doesn't owe Zhen Guojun." The bearded man grasped his tie tightly, and was about to strangle Zhu Ming'an's neck from behind. The "top hat" waved his hand to stop him, and said to Zhu Ming'an, "Do you know Xing Chuzhi? Ah? Is this person using military expenses for stocks with you? Ah? Ours Did you see that the announcement was published in Huaguang Daily?" Zhu Mingan said infatuatedly: "As for Adjutant Xing, you... you have to find Adjutant Xing and Hu Quanzhen, then... the 820,000 is in Hu Quanzhen's bank account day and night..." "Top Hat" said: "I know this. We have looked at the account of Day and Night Bank, and there is still 310,000 on it. Our warlord wants you to pay back the remaining 510,000! We will not be unreasonable!" Zhu Ming'an laughed maniacally: "You... are you still reasonable? Xing Chuzhi himself screwed up the stocks, but you asked us for an account. This...is this the truth of which country? This is a concession, we can go to the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry for interrogation The official decision..." "Top Hat" snorted, "I'm not going anywhere, so I asked you 'New Far East' for 510,000 yuan!" Zhu Ming'an laughed again, and burst into tears: "Sir, you have seen the situation here, 'New Far East' has gone bankrupt, even... even if I am willing to give you this money, I still... can't afford it... " "Top hat" said: "You can get it. Don't you still have a mansion building? We Liu Dujun said that if we really can't get the money, we will use the building to pay for it! Liu Dujun took a fancy to this building - when Zheng Dujun wanted Raising a concubine, now we, Dujun Liu, are also raising a concubine!" Zhu Mingan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted like crazy: "No! No! That building is not mine, but my aunt's! She has nothing to do with this matter!" No matter how Zhu Mingan yelled, the "top hat" still took out a piece of paper from his arms calmly, slapped it on the table and said, "Don't give me such a trick, we have asked everything, Hu Quanzhen once If you enter our office, you will confess! Your aunt Yu Wanzhen also has shares, and she is also one of the founders of "New Far East", right? She sleeps in the same bed as you, right? Husband and wife or Isn't it a matter of course? Be sensible, sign and pledge!" Zhu Mingan only felt that the sky was dim and the earth was dark. Countless gold stars swirled in front of his eyes. It seemed that there were powerful hands dragging his body under his feet. He couldn't help but collapsed to the floor along the wall... Everything was over, he saw the situation he least wanted to see, and the thing he was most afraid of happened. He was really my aunt's disaster star, and this evil relationship between him and my aunt ruined the rest of my aunt's future life!As long as this word is signed today, even if he lives, he will have no face to see his beloved aunt again. It was only then that I noticed that the big window in front of me was open. I don't know if it was opened by the people who rushed in earlier, or by the gang of soldiers, but it was open anyway.Sitting on the ground, he saw a clear blue sky through the open window, and there were wisps of light clouds floating in the air temptingly... Seeing Zhu Ming'an sitting on the floor in a daze, "Top Hat" pouted at the two men beside him. The two men went over to set up Zhu Ming'an, and dragged Zhu Ming'an to the desk where the paperwork was placed. Dragging it to the table, "Top Hat" began to read the document "voluntarily" repaying the debt with the property. After reading a few sentences, Zhu Mingan took the document over and tried to read it by himself.After reading it, he took the paperwork and went to the window again, saying that he wanted to think about it. It was also a godsend opportunity. Just when Zhu Mingan walked to the window, the people gathered in the trading hall squeezed into the room from the doors on both sides. The "top hat" and others went to the door to block it. No one paid attention to Zhu Mingan for a moment. Zhu Mingan took the opportunity to climb up the window sill. After the "top hat" found out, he exclaimed: "Don't...don't jump down, let's discuss about the upstairs..." Zhu Ming'an tore the document into pieces, threw them down like snowflakes, and shouted with a manic smile, "There's nothing to discuss! Let me tell you: Yu Wan is really my aunt, not my wife, and there is no such thing as husband and wife repaying debts!" You...you can't take it away! If you really want to ask for the 510,000 yuan, you can find me in the underworld!" "Top Hat" and others rushed to the window. It was too late, Zhu Mingan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, jumped off the window sill on the fourth floor, and fell on Moss Road full of people.
