The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 231: A Partner You Can't Find Even With a Lantern

There will be a dance party at 8pm in the bar on the first floor.

When Chen Zhengwei came down from the casino, he looked at Leonard not far away, turned his head and said to Yan Qingyou next to him:

"Go inform Marco and tell him to wait in the alley at the intersection ahead. When Jamie Mays leaves, attack him!"

"Brother Wei, do you want to kill him?"

"Just scare him, don't beat him to death!" Chen Zhengwei said casually.

Juan's men died in Jamie Mays' territory two days ago. What would Jamie Mays think when he was shot?
Especially today when the club opened, many people knew he was here.

If he doesn't doubt Juan, then he won't doubt himself, right?

If he really doubts me... then I can only say that he has bad intentions and he deserves to be beaten to death.

"What if he was accidentally killed?" Yan Qingyou asked.

"His luck can't be that bad, right? He can die like this? That only means he is destined to die..." Chen Zhengwei felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe just thinking about it. He didn't want to die either, as that would mean he would suffer a huge loss.

Three hundred thousand dollars worth of goods!

However, there was no need to waste such a good opportunity, he still didn't plan to let it go.

After explaining the matter to Yan Qingyou, he went to the second floor and picked a ballet dancer to dance with him.

He's been really into waltzing lately.

In particular, he felt that he was making rapid progress, the kind that he could make progress just by jumping around.

After dancing a few songs, he asked the ballerina to find a place by herself, and he sat next to Jamie Mays, picked up his glass and clinked it with him.

"Guess how much today's turnover will be?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

"Ten thousand? Or thirteen thousand? After all, you gave away thirty thousand directly in the afternoon!" Jamie Mays said.

"I think there will be more! They are all very enthusiastic, and they need a place that suits their status!" Chen Zhengwei turned his gaze around. The atmosphere in the venue was good and the guests were all bursting with enthusiasm.

Especially in such a dim environment, stimulated by music, tobacco, alcohol and women's laughter.

"We'll know in a few hours!" Chen Zhengwei laughed again, then picked up the wine glass and clinked it lightly with Jamie Mays.

He really enjoys this environment.

Chen Zhengwei and Jamie Mays seemed like brothers at this moment. After all, they were partners and made money together, so both of them were in a good mood.

The two then agreed to make a deal some time later.

Late at night, Chen Zhengwei and Jamie Mays came to Chen Zhengwei's office and then called Lin Rongcheng.

“What were today’s sales?”

Chen Zhengwei and Jamie Mays waited until this moment just for this.

Both of them are very concerned.

"The casino's revenue is 16,500 yuan, the bar's revenue is 2,300 yuan, and the revenue on the second floor is very little. The estimated revenue for today is 19,000 yuan." Lin Rongcheng said, holding the account book.

"Send someone to bring a bottle of champagne. Looks like we can open it now!" Chen Zhengwei had a cigar in his mouth, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Today is the opening day and it is also the most popular.

Sales will gradually decline in the next few days, but as its fame spreads and wealthy people in San Francisco get used to spending time here, income will rise back a little.

Chen Zhengwei estimates that the monthly income will not be less than 300,000 yuan. After deducting personnel expenses and some other costs, the profit will not be less than 200,000 yuan.

In just half a year, you can become a millionaire.

In this era, this is a remarkable achievement.

Even a railroad tycoon like Leland Stanford might not have assets worth 10 million.

After a while, the champagne was brought. Chen Zhengwei opened it, and the two raised their glasses and drank it all, then tilted their heads back to drink it.

"Then I won't accompany you! I think I need to have some fun!" Chen Zhengwei was in a good mood today and decided to take care of his body tomorrow. It just so happened that there were still a few ballet dancers that he hadn't tried yet.

Jamie Mays then said goodbye to Chen Zhengwei and left the bar.

Back in the carriage, Jamie Mays said to Leonard, "Keep an eye on the accounts!"

Originally, he might have thought about taking over the club, but he gave up the idea for the time being.

That Chinese guy is troublesome, so it’s better to cooperate with him temporarily and get a good profit every month.

What's more, the other party also controls the channels for opium.

At this time, not far from the club, Green was hiding in the dark, holding a revolver in his hand.

From here he could see the entrance to the club, and he saw Jamie Mays get on the carriage.

Chen Zhengwei only had someone inform him in the afternoon to wait here to ambush Jamie Mays.

A moment later, when Jamie Mays's carriage approached, Green emptied the magazine directly towards the carriage, and then fled quickly along the predetermined route without waiting for others to react.

When Jamie Mays's men chased into the alley, they could no longer see anyone, and then hurried back to the carriage:
"How's it going boss?"

Jamie Mays released his hands from around his waist. His hands were covered in blood and his waist was burning with pain.

The bullet didn't penetrate the body, but just grazed the waist.

“He shouldn’t be dead… did you see who the gunman was?” Jamie Mays’ face turned pale.

"I didn't see it. The other party ran away after shooting..."

"Leonard, how are you?"

"Not very good..." Leonard looked pale. He was shot in the butt and in the waist.

Marco deliberately lowered the muzzle of the gun just now.

"Send me back and then send Leonard to see a doctor. You two go back and call people over!" Jamie Mays didn't want to take any risks. He was afraid that there were other people ambushing him, so he got off the carriage.

This place is less than a hundred meters away from the club. …

Chen Zhengwei heard the gunshots in the room and thought to himself that Jamie Mays must not die... He is his partner!

At least wait until he gives me the 300,000 yuan payment for the goods before dying.

Chen Zhengwei was filled with worries. He felt that it would be hard to find a partner who was so worried about him.

If Jamie Mays wasn't dead, he would at least kowtow to himself a few times.

With thoughts running through his mind, Chen Zhengwei tore off his clothes and reached his hand into the clothes of the tall ballerina in front of him.

"Actually, I've always liked watching ballet. I really like appreciating art, but this dress is a bit of a hindrance..."

However, before Chen Zhengwei could enjoy the ballet, someone knocked on the door urgently.

"Fuck, what's the matter?" Chen Zhengwei said unhappily.

“Brother Wei, Jamie Mays was ambushed as soon as he left…” Lin Rongcheng said quickly outside.

"how is he?"

"He was injured a bit, but he looks OK! He was just taken back to the bar."

"He really needs to kowtow to me a few times!" Chen Zhengwei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll be down right away."

Chen Zhengwei put on his clothes again.

"Wait for me here!"

Then he hurried downstairs. There were not many customers in the bar at that time. Jamie Mays was helped to the sofa and his wound was being checked.

"What happened?" Chen Zhengwei strode over with a grim face.

“I was ambushed just after I left…” Jamie Mays’s expression was equally grim.

"Fuck! They even dare to touch my partner, on my opening day?" Chen Zhengwei immediately started cursing.

"How can I help?"

"The murderer ran away... Let your men look around outside to see if there is anyone lying in ambush." Jamie Mays let the people next to him help him clean his wounds, and he shivered in pain.

"This is a small problem!" Chen Zhengwei waved to his henchmen not far away: "Take the men around and arrest anyone suspicious if you see one!"

"Go get him a bottle of strong alcohol to disinfect him and prevent him from getting infected!"

"Thank you!" Jamie Mays thanked Chen Zhengwei as he watched him arrange the staff, but soon he was in so much pain from the strong liquor poured on his wound that he started sweating.

"We are partners, and ambushing you at the club entrance is simply a slap in my face. If I find out who did it, I will skin him alive!" Chen Zhengwei's face was full of ferocity.

Jamie Mays suddenly felt that this Chinese man wasn't so annoying anymore.

Half an hour later, Jamie Mays was picked up by his men who had come rushing over.

"If you need help, please ask someone to notify me!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"Thank you for your kindness, I can do it myself! I will definitely find that bastard and make him suffer the most painful torture!" Jamie Mays declined. If he needed other people's help for such things, he would have no use for it.

Watching Jamie Mays leave, the fierce look on Chen Zhengwei's face disappeared, and he turned around and went upstairs humming a little tune.

Now the big bed in the room is more attractive.

……

Jamie Mays went back, treated his wounds, and then gathered his men.

"Who do you think wants to kill me?"

Chen Zhengwei flashed through his mind before, but only for a moment, and he felt that it was not him.

Even the Irish were more suspicious than Chen Zhengwei, after all, he had previously seized the Irish's territory in the South Market Street area.

Not to mention the cooperative relationship between him and the Chinese guy, he and he were about to trade 30 worth of goods.

The other party had absolutely no reason to attack him.

"Carlos, it must be that Spaniard who did it! No one knew who killed his people before, so he came here to cause trouble, and then was driven away!" One of his men immediately thought of Carlos.

"Spaniard? Juan's subordinate?" Jamie Metz frowned.

He and Juan did have a grudge, but if Juan wanted to attack him, he would never send just one person.

"Tell me, what happened?" Jamie Mays asked.

Jamie Mays hesitated for a moment, wondering if Carlos had the guts to do that, but he did look suspicious.

"Catch him!" Jamie Mays said in a deep voice.

Although he doesn't want to go to war with Juan now, because Juan stays in Colombia and Cuba most of the time, he can't catch him.

But San Francisco is his territory after all.

He needs to know who attacked him!

……

The next day, Chen Zhengwei still crawled out from the pile of arms.

I have to say, ballet is really beautiful.

He began to like this art.

After coming out of the bathroom, Chen Zhengwei vowed again that he would have a good rest today.

I didn’t even go to Wanyun’s place today.

After waking up the women in the room and sending them away, Chen Zhengwei went downstairs to have morning tea and then went home to change his clothes.

He will be meeting with the Pinkerton Detective Agency later.
