3. Conditions for foreigners
When Uncle Chen saw that what he said was so serious, honest people were about to cry.
But what Han Huaiyi said was reasonable, after he was bored there for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and said: "Second young master, then, then I'll go and kowtow to Bai Qi to make amends, I'll go... ”
"Come back. What day is it? Han Huaiyi stood up speechlessly: "Forget it, I'll deal with it later, but Uncle Chen, I usually respect you as an elder, only this once, you can't do this again in the future." ”
He then said: "Also, we don't have an overnight feud, if you hate me and count you down today, then I will have to go over with you about stealing money when I was a child, being sued by you and then beaten!" ”
There are a lot of flowers and intestines in this goods, and after beating Uncle Chen, he was afraid that the old man would be aggrieved and couldn't think about it, so he started talking nonsense again.
But as soon as he stirred it up like this, Uncle Chen finally felt better in his heart.
Han Huaizhong saw that when his younger brother handled things, he was so comfortable with the weight, and thought that these two goods were really reborn.
At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded outside: "Is Han Dong's family here?" Han Dongjia? ”
Uncle Chen hurriedly went to see it, and then reported that the person who came was a servant.
Han Huaiyi estimated that this was Ma Dangman's move, so he hid in the room first.
After the official entered the room, he really told Han Huaizhong that Lord Yang had named him, and if he was in good health, he would go there, but Lord Yang was not very easy to talk to, so he wanted to think carefully before going.
This Nima ... Han Huaizhong thought to himself that this didn't just want me not to go, so he asked tentatively, "Did Master Zhou tell you to say so?" ”
The local officials all knew the Han family, so they smiled and said, "I'm just a messenger." ”
Han Huaizhong listened to his acquiescence, thinking that Zhou Kewen was really not a thing.
In his hand, he took out the horn of silver and handed it to say that it was hard, and then said, "Master Zhou, it is better not to send you here." ”
That's true.
Zhou Kewen didn't want him to come, so it was better not to send someone back to fool the foreigners, although this trick was useless for the Han family.
Because Ma Dangman will definitely not give up if he doesn't see Han Huaizhong.
The official received the benefits, and also remembered Han Huaizhong's good reputation and his brother's bad trouble, so he whispered to him: "At that time, the foreigners were watching from the hall, and Shi Jintao's face was dark. However, Han Dong's family, the people do not fight with the officials. You, it's better to be soft when you're free, but the master is the one behind you, you said that if he gives you some eye medicine, wouldn't it be good? ”
This is sincere advice, and Han Huaizhong is naturally grateful.
He went with him, and on the way, someone was very puzzled when he saw Han Huaizhong and the official walking together.
This official was quite righteous, and took the initiative to explain that Lord Yang invited Han Dongjia to participate in the investment promotion by name, so he specially came to invite him.
Yangzhou City is so big, the news quickly reached Zhang Shuming's ears, and this guy opened his mouth and said: "Lord Prefect is looking for him to make a scene, maybe he is actually arrested to ask for the crime, what is he doing?" Phew. ”
The gossip people looked at his angry and corrupt appearance, and they couldn't understand where he and Han Huaizhong came from.
If you want to talk about the beginning of things, isn't it your daughter-in-law who has teamed up with outsiders to bully your son-in-law, and you still rely on other people's rents first?
Han Huaizhong, under the leadership of the yamen, arrived at the side hall of the yamen of the government after half an hour.
Ma Dangman didn't greet him when he saw him coming, and his eyes were very indifferent.
But some people reacted violently.
Zhou Kewen received Shi Jintao's benefits, and learned of the government's instructions, so he naturally wanted to go into battle in person.
So when Han Huaizhong and the prefect met him, he said coldly on the side: "Han Dong's family is not small." Now that you're in good health, you can come by yourself as soon as possible, and do you want me to arrange someone to invite you? ”
The other businessmen all looked at Han Huaizhong sympathetically when they heard this, who could still stand up to being taken the lead by the prefect in public like this? Shi Jintao's eyes were even more sneering, he couldn't understand why Han Huaizhong was still in a hurry to come here, looking for scolding? Isn't that cheap?
But at this moment, Madangman suddenly asked the translator, "What did he say?" ”
Zhou Kewen didn't expect foreigners to be dumbfounded by such gossip.
How do you know that everyone is in the bureau today! If Ma Dangman saw Han Huaizhong being humiliated and ignored it, it would be wrong.
Jiang Wenwu translated it directly.
Anyway, he took this money, if he was a ghost in translation, as long as he was exposed, would he still be able to mix in the concession in the future? So Ma Dangman knew Zhou Kewen's beep.
He was also smart, and he didn't immediately stand up for Han Huaizhong, but said dissatisfiedly: "Being late is indeed an impolite behavior, and I don't like it very much." But this gentleman hasn't been seen before, is there any reason for you? ”
After the translation explained, everyone looked at Han Huaizhong.
Because the foreigner was asking Han Huaizhong.
When everyone thought about it, Han Huaizhong could say nothing but suffer a dumb loss and think that what he did was wrong.
So Zhou Kewen didn't care, but he didn't expect Han Huaizhong to say it very clearly, and he said calmly: "Back to this gentleman, I was not in good health a few days ago, so the government has not informed me." ”
Ma Dangman waited for this sentence and immediately said to Zhou Kewen quite dissatisfied: "Since you didn't give advance notice, why do you still slander the other party for being late and absent for no reason?" ”
Zhou Kewen never dreamed that Han Huaizhong would answer like this, and the foreigner's reaction would be so fierce.
The old face of this goods suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but look at Han Huaizhong with hatred.
But Han Huaizhong stood in place and stared at him fearlessly, with an open momentum on his body that he had never seen.
Seeing Han Huaizhong like this, Shi Jintao thought that if he didn't die, he wouldn't die, you continue to make trouble, young man, you can't eat any grievances, you can be regarded as completely offending Master Zhou today!
Seeing this, Chen Dayou hurriedly opened his mouth and put the matter to the point first.
Madangman also took the opportunity to stop and formally put forward their idea.
The New Rome Comptoir really wanted to cooperate with local merchants and prepare to buy some rice shops to form a good supply relationship.
In addition, they will also recruit a general agent in the local area to be fully responsible for the business of the foreign bank in Yangzhou, and the person's words and deeds represent the firm, and the firm will naturally be responsible for him.
The implication is that foreigners will protect him.
As soon as his words fell, the scene was boiling, and only Shi Jintao's old god was there, not excited.
Because who can rob him? Han Huaizhong, hehe. Things have come to this point, and Shi Jintao has become more and more determined.
At this time, Chen Dayou asked Ma Dangman: "I don't know if you have any specific requirements." ”
At that time, the eyes of the Chinese people gradually opened, even in places like Yangzhou, they had heard of some of the ways of doing things by foreigners, and Ma Dangman really planned to say: "Please write out your strength and hand it over to us for review." We only need a strong partner, so the merchant must have his own mature land of more than 200 acres and a well-run rice store. ”
