Then he knew what was going on.

Fu Wenzhong also said that he had no choice, so he could only excuse him and said: "Mr. Han, I blame me for talking too much, and I talked to Cheng Tao about the Roman coin, which caused Zhou Cheng's greed." Mr. Han was also asked to punish the crime. ”

To be a subordinate is to take the blame, which is a characteristic of Chinese society, otherwise what can Fu Wenzhong do.

But Han Huaiyi is very reasonable, because this matter has nothing to do with others.

Assuming that Fu Wenzhong didn't come over with silver coins, Zhou Cheng would definitely have to do such ugly things after knowing about it in the future.

What drove him crazy was Xiang Shuai's attitude.

Although Fu Wenzhong said it very tactfully, he used "Xiang Shuai said that the matter has been resolved, let you go back to Shanghai to deal with the matter quickly, he is too busy with official business to meet you", but Han Huaiyi's nose is very smart, and he is also familiar with Xiang Shuai's kind of casualness to himself, so he said angrily: "Don't hide it with him, is he weak-hearted, and then you want me to go?" ”

Fu Wenzhong suddenly laughed, not admitting or denying it.

Han Huaiyi stood there and thought about it, forget it, he must have been looking for scolding in the past, so he took out a gift and asked Fu Wenzhong to bring it to Xiangshuai, and he went to the Hanyang shipyard on the other side to see the progress over there.

After Xiang Shuai received the ZIPPO made of sterling silver from him, he smiled dumbly, and then asked about the situation and learned that he went directly to the shipyard, and the old man himself felt embarrassed, so he said to Fu Wenzhong: "You still go and ask him to come over for dinner." ”

Fu Wenzhong's head is big immediately, you old and young people play with me, but he can't let go of his farts and can only invite Han Huaiyi again.

At this time, Han Huaiyi had already gone to Hankou.

Charlie Han's arrival caused a stir in the Anglo-French concession in Hankow.

Han Huaiyi did not go to the French Concession, but met with the people in the British Concession.

Strange to say, everyone knows that he was close to the French in Shanghai and at odds with the British.

But in Hankou, Han Huaiyi felt good about the British consul Perrin here, but had a bad opinion of Eric in the French Concession.

Perin was still the vice consul when he invited the bidding at the Hanyang Iron Works, but there was still a gap between Charlie Han at that time and now.

After greeting him, Perlin, who was further in great spirits, said very directly: "Mr. Charlie, welcome to you, can we restart the Great World Project in Hankow?" ”

Han Huaiyi laughed: "Then let's talk." ”

After receiving a positive answer, Palin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then he asked Han Huaiyi: "I heard that the Ford factory has also been built in Shanghai?" You also personally designed a car called the Raptor, which was approved by Mr. Ford? ”

In the twentieth century, because of the development of information, the earth already had the flavor of the global village of later generations.

Outstanding people from all over the world can make a name for themselves.

For example, Henry Ford, who pioneered the age of automobiles, has many admirers in various countries.

However, Han Huaiyi said: "Recognition? No, he's trading benefits for my patents, it's a business. ”

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Perrin asked, "So you got the construction of the Shanghai factory in exchange?" ”

"Yes, we give land and workers plus my design, and get 20 percent of the net profit and a commission, after all, he occupies more patents and a lot of investment in equipment."

Han Huaiyi didn't mean to look up to Ford when he talked about it, Ford was indeed great but also a living person, and now he is his business partner, and he can be on an equal footing with him.

And his gesture is not posturing.

Perrin couldn't help but sigh, "I've heard that you've also collaborated with Morgan's IMM, Mr. Charlie, I can't imagine you can go so far." ”

And airplanes.

Han Huaiyi didn't show off, he just smiled and said, "Where you have a heart, you can do it, as long as you work hard." ”

The two sides exchanged pleasantries all the way into the consulate, and Palin immediately showed his sincerity.

This is a real man who does things.

He showed Han Huaiyi the plan he had prepared.

The British Concession under his leadership will provide 10 acres of land in New Rome for free to build a great world, and the Hankow branch of the Bank of London will also provide an interest-free loan of 50,000 pounds from New Rome.

"Mr. Charlie, I swear by my honor, this is the best offer I can do so far, what do you think?" Palin's posture is low, because he understands the value of Shanghai World.

And that kind of crazy revenue is bound to bring about quite a large donation.

Westerners are very straightforward, he doesn't want to beat around the bush, he just wants to tie Charlie Han to the carriage of the British Concession, so as to gain benefits.

Han Huaiyi thought for a while and said, "Let me make a request, the land obtained by the Great World must belong to the name of New Rome, and it must be truly owned." ”

"No problem." Perrin actually understands the value of Charlie's claim, but for him, isn't it land anyway, if there is no big world in New Rome, it is just farmland.

In addition, he said: "Can the model of Huxi Haoting be replicated in Hankou?" New Rome and the Ministry of Industry jointly promoted the transformation of the Hankou Concession, benefiting four six, four of us, and six of you. ”

He has requirements, and Han Huaiyi naturally has them.

And that's what he's here for.

Han Huaiyi said: "Then I have a personal request, if there is a conflict between me and Deweimen again, you must only choose me, and there is no reason to hide this intimate relationship, you have to make your position clear." ”

"What conflict will you have with him?" Perrin asked seriously.

"My conflict with him must be his fault."

Charlie Han has always been a promise, and Palin was relieved, he said: "If there is such a premise, then there is no problem, but I still want you to understand, after all, I am an Englishman, so I may not be able to do too strongly." ”

"This is just a gentleman's agreement, what can drive you to choose me is not interests, not nationality, but people's conscience! Rest assured, Mr. Palin. Han Huaiyi said not aggressively, and then he stretched out his hand.

Perrin held his hand tightly, he found that it was really comfortable to get along with this Charlie, and he really couldn't understand why Devimen's brain/crippled man had to go toe-to-toe with such a person.

Unconsciously, even Westerners think that their compatriots are not Charlie's price.

After the two sides signed the letter of intent, Perin suddenly asked Han Huaiyi with a smile: "Why didn't you choose to build a big world in the French Concession in Hankou?" ”

He seemed to be pointing.

Han Huaiyi didn't hide it, he said directly: "Can I say that Eric is a flamboyant politician?" ”

Mamoye had told him about Eric's.

And the real reason that made Eric consul in the Hankow Concession was that he was the one who was the Viceroy of the East Indies.

So Han Huaiyi immediately confessed his thoughts to Perrin, he said: "Anyway, my French friends are enough, and my British enemies are enough, and we just feel good about each other, so why don't we cooperate with you?" ”

Perrin couldn't help but laugh, he likes this kind of Han Charlie, because he will tell you clearly that he will take advantage of you.

But what no one knows is that Charlie Han, who was high-spirited outside, was bullied by the old man again at night in Xiangshuai's Mansion.
