Because it was Chen Touxiang who took the initiative to find him today, and he happened to be with Du Mingyuan, and then he tentatively came to the hostel to see if Charlie Han was there.

These things happen randomly and without warning.

Therefore, Du Yuanming understood that when Charlie Han said that, it was absolutely impossible for him to know in advance that they were outside the door.

Chen Shihong relieved his heart after receiving this reply, and said with admiration: "This Charlie Han! It's no wonder that Shanghai Beach is majestic. You have to watch the people under you behave closely, but don't look down on others. ”

A bad old man in his sixties, it is rare that there is no evil intention in those triangular eyes.

If it were someone else, he would have arranged for his subordinates to see if there was a chance, and if the hard one didn't work, he would come to the soft one, and in the future, he would eat the other party's belt and bones.

But in the face of such Han Huaiyi, he didn't have the courage, and now he has completely lost this heart.

The ancients said that when fighting a war, we should pay attention to the right time, place and people.

It's the same with a mall.

Because the relationship between the upper and lower layers has been completely opened.

The work of the Tianjin branch in New Rome is very fast.

At the strong suggestion of the interested Dewitt and Del, the two concessions soon offered a thirty-acre plot of land near the river to the New Roman Merchant House.

Of course, the price of land in the concession was different from that in the Qing court.

Thirty acres of land must be given at a low price of 2,000 taels of silver.

Han Huaiyi did not hesitate to pay and then went directly to the bank with Dewitt, took out the loan, and took out the money, and took an extra 1,000.

In the process, Chen Shihong had already paid for the building materials for New Rome in Tianjin, and Chen Touxiang had recruited workers.

The next day happened to be an auspicious day, and the docks in New Rome actually started as soon as they said they would move.

This kind of speed and efficiency can be regarded as extremely fast in later generations, and it can be described as a miracle in this era.

In addition, when the new steel structure model building under the auspices of Gu Jiatang started, the progress was rapid.

Dewitt didn't come to the construction site for two days, and when he came to see it again, the three warehouses were twenty-five meters long and fifteen meters wide, and they were almost capped!

On this day, Charlie Han was not at the construction site.

Because he and Chen Touxiang and others came to a trading house in Tianjin.

The specific reason is, of course, for business.

Recently, there have been rumors in the market, and everyone is saying that after Charlie Han's big pier is completed, it will be much cheaper to take the sea.

Of course, there are also some threats and intimidation from local youth gangs.

However, in view of Han Huaiyi's previous care.

Although these young gang members came to the door with threatening words, they only did business and did not extort money.

And merchants are not stupid.

They took the detailed freight rates of New Rome and found that not to mention, the freight rates of sea ships were much faster and cheaper than those of inland shipping in the past.

Let's compare the simplest cotton and linen fur goods.

If the cotton and linen goods and other things from the north were sent to the south, they would be divided into dozens of boats according to the old way, and they would have to walk slowly for two weeks.

In addition, the freight of 100 tons plus loading and unloading labor and other miscellaneous things are calculated, and a hundred taels of silver cannot be stopped.

Because the fleet has to charge fees along the inland rivers, when crossing the Yellow River into Shandong, you have to hire some slender men!

But shipping doesn't have to be so troublesome.

In addition, the units in New Rome are small, medium and large.

How much is a container, the small one is ten tons, the middle is fifteen tons, and the large one is twenty tons.

100 tons of cotton and linen goods and the like, that is, ten small cabinets.

The Tianjin loading and unloading fee for a small cabinet is one tael of silver, and ten cabinets are only ten taels.

As for the shipping fee, the price is also clearly marked, the freight of a container from Tianjin to Shanghai is five taels, and the total of ten containers is fifty taels.

When I arrived at the ground, the loading and unloading fee for disembarking was five taels.

The rest is the person who receives the goods.

That is to say, the total freight of 100 tons of cotton and linen fur goods is: loading and unloading fees for getting on and off the ship 15 + freight 50 = 65 taels of silver.

In this comparison, everyone is 35 taels less in the first place, especially because New Rome promises that it will only take seven days from delivery to destination.

Local businesses didn't believe in this good thing at first.

But I can't wait for someone on the market to talk about these things, and everyone only figured it out later.

Feelings for people in New Rome are going to be quantitative.

It's not a family of goods that people take away in one trip.

That's why the price can be lowered.

The merchants then heard that this business firm was a cooperation between Charlie Han and foreigners, and even the Ministry of Industry and the Board of Directors had a stake.

So what are you afraid of?

Therefore, the merchants of Tianjin Wei are not willing to continue the previous list.

But Chen Touxiang's customer, Zhou Shopkeeper, is engaged in the rice and grain business from south to north.

In the past, when he bought rice from the south, he had to pay one or two thousand pieces of silver every year for the freight.

Now he is a little tempted by the way of the new Rome, but he also has his difficulties.

Regarding this, he truthfully told Chen Touxiang, who came to visit.

Because his business with southern customers is done with rice.

If he had taken the New Roman sea-going ship, it would have been a difficult problem for him to get the grain to Shanghai.

Because this food still has to be organized.

After being taught by Han Huaiyi, Chen Touxiang is now very reasonable, and as soon as he heard that what others said was the truth, he gave up.

After going back, Chen Touxiang and Han Huaiyi expressed their regrets and said that they would work harder.

Han Huaiyi was happy: "Do you do rice and grain business with southerners? ”

"Yes, Mr. Han."

"My eldest brother is the biggest rice shop owner in Yangzhou."

Chen Touxiang was shocked when he heard this: "There is such a coincidence? Then I'll go back tomorrow! Damn, I have to take this list down for Mr. Han. ”

This thing was determined, and Han Huaiyi said, "I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look." You don't understand the matter of Mi Xing after all. ”

That's why he's here today.

However, when he came to the door of Zhou's shopkeeper's house, Han Huaiyi felt a little familiar when he looked at the signboard of his house.

He was wondering, but it was a coincidence.

On this day, Shi Jintao's housekeeper Wu Peiming arrived here.

He was about to discuss things with several of his related households, because these families were a little reluctant to follow up orders.

Shi Jintao felt that the attitude of the partners in the north was not quite right, so he sent Wu Peiming to the north.

But Wu Peiming had just entered the door, and he hadn't had time to ask about the situation.

Chen Touxiang came with Han Huaiyi.

Shopkeeper Zhou knew that no matter whether he did this business or not, Chen Touxiang was negligent, and Charlie Han had to be complimented.

He immediately left Wu Peiming and ran out.

Shopkeeper Zhou's business is quite large, and he has some relatives in Sijiu City, and he has some support for people from the south in the past.

Wu Peiming has never seen his grandson like this.

This guy followed out curiously, but after seeing the comer, Wu Peiming jumped up.

That's the hell it's actually Han Er, who is still ghostly! What the hell am I?
