20 The wisdom of Hartung

"The total value of the goods is millions of taels of silver. A total of 1,300 tons of coal, and 800 tons of asbestos, and no less than 1,500 tons of iron? ”

Hartung asked.

Sitting across from him was John. Davidson said: "Yes sir, these goods need to be sent from Lushun to Vladivostok. ”

John obviously cares about this business, because the commission is huge, so he is very selective to find someone with relatively large energy to do it.

And Hartung is a better choice.

Because he had some influence on the British side, and Britain and Japan were allies.

So John's attitude was sincere and eager.

He continued: "Mr. Hartung, there will be more orders after this list. ”

Hartung asked: "The receiver is the Russian military?" So you want to take advantage of my relationship? ”

"Yes. Mr. Hartung, these resources belong to the Tsarist Far Eastern Trading Company, and although they can transport them to their destination by land, it takes too long, so they want to go by sea. You also know that the Tsarist Far East Trading House belongs to the Russian wizard Rasputin, and this is his business. ”

The business of the Russian prophet, court favorite, mystic Rasputin?

Hartung was still surprised when he heard this: "You know him?" ”

John said reservedly: "We are friends, and he gave me this pocket watch, and I heard that it belongs to someone in the Kingdom of Sweden." ”

That's.

How do you talk to rich people about equipment?

Hearing this, Hartung already had some feelings, and the other party seemed to be beating around the bush and wanting to give the business to Charlie Han through himself?

However, he remained silent, and after only a few thoughts in his mind, he said truthfully: "But I don't have a fleet under my name, because I don't do these businesses, but I have a friend who owns this business, and you should have heard of his name." ”

At this point, he deliberately paused for a moment.

John asked, "Who?"

The whole of Shanghai knew that the five large-tonnage ships that arrived in Shanghai today belonged to Charlie Han, but you deliberately didn't say it.

Hehe.

Hartung made a request: "I want to split the commission with you, then I can introduce you to him." ”

"Yes, Mr. Hartung, I believe in your strength, and therefore I believe in your friend."

"You really don't know who I'm talking about?" Hartung suddenly asked, John was stunned, and said: "It should be Mr. Charlie Han, it is because of this that I am more willing to pass your introduction, and I can't hide that a friend of mine has already mentioned his name to me, but you also know that Charlie Han's reputation in some aspects, if there is no middleman with enough weight, I am really... ”

"He's a bastard who cut off my horse's head, but it's not a big deal for money's sake." Hartung was dumbfounded, his eyes full of interests.

At this time, Luo Jialin knocked on the door of her husband's study, and after saying hello to the guests, Luo Jialin said, "Charlie seems to be calling you today." ”

"Really?" Hartung pondered for a moment and asked John Davidson, "Have you arranged for someone to contact him?" ”

"No, no, no, I'll come to Mr. Hartung as soon as possible."

"You just said that a friend of yours had mentioned his name to you!"

"My friend's name is Charles, and he did tell me about him and knew what I was going to do, but I definitely didn't ask him to do anything because he didn't have enough weight." Davidson hastened to explain.

Hartung was relieved at this time, got up and said, "Okay, I'll give you an answer at this time tomorrow." ”

After the guy left, Hartung sneered and asked his wife, "Have you ever seen the pocket watch of the minister of the Kingdom of Sweden a hundred years ago?" ”

"A pocket watch from a hundred years ago?" Luo Jialin was surprised: "How is this possible, pocket watches only became popular a few years ago." ”

"So, the bastard who was introduced by Bane just now actually told me that the old pocket watch on his body was a gift from Rasputin, and the original owner was someone from Sweden who lost to Tsarist Russia, and the war between Tsarist Russia and Sweden ended in 1807! What the hell are these literal Brits going to do! ”

"It's a wonderful story." Luo Jialin also sneered.

"They've been scheming against me, a Jew, and I'll never be in their circle!" Hartung felt humiliated.

Bane introduced the crook through the bush and he wants to get in touch with Han Charlie!

Who is this trying to play?

Then he told his wife about the previous situation, Luo Jialin was not a real businessman after all, and asked her husband: "Do you think this is a trap, and what is the purpose of their doing this?" ”

"It should be a chain of funds. They may attack Charlie Han's chain of funds by collateral and withholding. Ha Tong pointed out the key to the problem, as a businessman, he is quite good, Han Huaiyi still has prophetic foresight to rely on, but he only relies on clues and instinctive analysis.

"And what do you decide to do?" Luo Jialin pulled down his hair.

"I'm already in the middle of it, I'll pretend to be fooled, who made me a greedy Jew." Hartung said coldly, and then put his arm around his wife's shoulders: "Although that little bastard almost scared me to death, I'd rather be friends with someone like him who loves and hates." ”

"Hartung, you have to be careful, these guys can do anything."

"All I have to do is tell the little guy that he won't betray me, because he's a man of rules. Of course, given the humiliation I've received, I wouldn't mind going down in person this time to deal with those bastards with him. ”

Hartung's thoughts began to creep in; "Maybe this is an opportunity for me to rejoin the interests of the French Concession."

"Mr. Hartung, pure help may be more rewarded. In China, when dealing with Chinese, you can't put your interests on your face. Luo Jialin immediately reminded him.

If Hartung is a passionate war horse, Luo Jialin is the best rider.

It is this Luo Jialin who has made Hartung what it is today.

Hartung listened to his wife's opinion and said, "Okay, then I don't want anything, I just need to vent." ”

But the next sentence of the goods is: "I also believe that Charlie will not treat his friends badly." ”

Luo Jialin smiled helplessly, and then personally called the Han Mansion.

Hearing that Charlie and Mr. Favoli had something to do, Luo Jialin made an appointment with her to meet tomorrow, and then said to her husband: "I really like that little girl Yu'er." ”

"It's not a question between you and the fish anymore, it's a war between men. There's no way that bastard could call me father-in-law, don't think about it. Hartung hit the nail on the head again.

Then he said to his wife, "Actually, I want to think more than you do." ”

Looking at her husband, who was a little childish in private, Luo Jialin leaned back with a smile.

She understands her husband's dissatisfaction with Charlie Han, but it is good that he can control this emotion within a reasonable range.
