1. How not to lock the door
When the people of Tianjin Wei got up the next day, they were surprised to find that Charlie Han's brothers and Shen Mingyuan's people were fighting fiercely.
It is said that because they are all surnamed Shen, a brother of Charlie Han and Shen Mingyuan also exchanged prayers.
It seems that the two sides have made peace, and it is a pity that the idlers who can't see the excitement can't help it.
But then everyone felt that something was wrong, because Wang Cunfu had disappeared since then, and Chen Touxiang, who saw that the arm tendon that was cut for Han Charlie, was also lying at home honestly.
Someone who is interested in checking it again, and the little five sons and lineage of Brother Han Charlie's brother that day seem to have disappeared.
Even the patrols who usually eat the filial piety of the little five sons were opened for vacancy in public office.
As soon as a few things are connected, people in the market will understand, is this called peace?
This should be a complete outpouring of bad breath, right?
This is indeed the case.
In the face of interests, what are Wang Cunfu and Chen Touxiang?
Wang Cunfu and those little bastards tied Gu Jiatang with steel bars last night and poured cement, and then threw them under the dock to sacrifice to the river god.
And the one who threw them down into the river was the one who opened the vacancy.
The guy was paralyzed with fright.
In addition, Chen Touxiang was also persuaded by Shen Baoshan to come to the door with a knife and benefits, and only waited for the injury to heal before he came to see Han Charlie to recognize his uncle.
But after doing this, Han Huaiyi has appeared in the British Concession today.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Dewitt really couldn't believe that this good-looking young man had such a great ability.
When Han Huaiyi asked what conditions the Ministry of Industry Bureau would give to his business, Dewitt said with a full mouth: "Don't worry, Charlie, the Ministry of Industry Bureau will definitely satisfy you." ”
As a friend of Jason, Dewitt directly told Han Huaiyi the truth.
The Ministry of Industry has learned about Charlie Han's model of integrating docks, warehouses and factories.
Smart people can understand that the shipping pattern of Tianjin Wei will change dramatically.
So which concession Charlie will land on this wharf, which concession will be able to get the corresponding benefits in the future.
Therefore, the attitude of the Ministry of Industry is now unprecedentedly enthusiastic.
Not only did they offer the conditions of free choice of open space along the river, but the price was quite low.
Han Huaiyi smiled and said, "That's not what I want." ”
"And what else do you need? I can fight for you. ”
"In addition to this, I will go to Wuhan in a month to build a factory and a wharf there. What Wuhan gave me for free was 100 acres of land along the river, as well as the corresponding police station and water dragon bureau. This matter was personally accepted by Mr. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang in the Qing court. You can go and find out. ”
After Han Huaiyi said the above, he explained to Dewitt: "Of course, I am not asking you to treat me in this way, because the concession and the Qing court are completely two administrative models, and the land wealth of both sides is also different. ”
Hearing the first half of his words, Dewitt, who had felt that he was insatiable, was relieved.
But he was curious, so what exactly do you want, Charlie?
Han Huaiyi asked him first: "Dewitt, you are Jason's friend, and we are not outsiders." Tell me first, what would be your personal benefit if the dock fell on the British Concession? ”
Dewitt did not hide it: "Political qualifications." I'll be a Standard Chartered senior in a year's time, that's a given, and I'll be eligible to sit on the board. ”
Han Huaiyi said, "I understand." ”
He took the pen and paper, and then asked Dewitt again: "Standard Chartered provides loan services?" ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Han Huaiyi asked him again: "Is New Rome, which is about to build a factory dock and has five ironclad ships, a high-quality shipping company?" ”
"Yes. In addition, I heard that you have almost monopolized the orders in Shanghai, right? ”
"It's not that exaggerated, but when our shipping layout is completed, it will happen sooner or later." After Han Huaiyi finished speaking, he wrote a few words on the paper.
Dewitt looked curiously and found that it was, land, land mortgages, loans, factory construction, shipping orders, profits, and loan repayment.
"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.
"Since our business is also helpful for Mr. Dewitt's future, it just so happens that Mr. Dewitt and you work in a bank, and we trust each other. So why don't we deepen our cooperation? ”
Han Huaiyi said and pointed to the line and explained his intention to him: "I will buy the land with real money, and then use the land and your bank mortgage, and then use the loan money to build factories and docks, and use the profits from the order to repay the loan after it is put into operation." It's good for you and me. ”
He went on to write a few points: "First of all, my loan is only for local construction and operations. So this ensures the basic safety of funds, and to put it mildly, even if New Rome loses, these lands can be repossessed and sold by you at any time, right? ”
Dewitt is a banker, of course, understands the feasibility and safety of such an operation, but this model has not been seen in this year.
His eyes grew brighter and brighter as he pondered it.
Han Huaiyi then said the following two points to Dewitt: "In addition, a safe loan can also improve your performance figures. Also, as you know, I have a lot of French friends who will come to me soon. If you promise me, then I can use this to gag people's mouths and put the dock in your concession. ”
When Dewitt heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Charlie, are you threatening me?" ”
"No, it will happen, and I can't even guarantee what I will do if the French Concession gives me more favorable terms. So I made another preparation for our friendship. ”
"What preparation?"
"Whether or not my wharf is under construction in the British Concession, I will take out 10 percent of the shares of the Tianjin branch of New Rome and let the person you appoint to subscribe for it. In addition, I will personally donate 500 taels of silver to the British Concession Bureau every year for administrative expenses. The premise is that it must go through your hands. Another point is that if you can pull a freight order for the New Rome Comptoir, then I will give you a commission of 5% of the net profit. The above conditions do not conflict with each other. ”
After Han Huaiyi finished saying what he had prepared in his heart, Lisuo got up and said, "I'll go and accompany my brother, Mr. Dewitt, you think about it, tomorrow at noon, I will hold a banquet at the He Yuan Hotel in the British Concession to thank you for your help to my brother, see you there." ”
He beeped and ran, but instead of going home, he ran to Melo's friend and beeped again.
After giving the same conditions, he also asked the family to have dinner in He Yuan tomorrow.
After doing this kind of bad thing, this guy ran to find his eldest brother calmly.
As a result, he went to Han Huaizhong's residence and pushed the door, but saw Han Huaizhong holding Su Wujian's hand, and when he saw him coming, the two of them were separated as if they were busy with an electric shock, Han Huaiyi saw this and immediately beat him: "Why don't you lock the door when you do these things!" ”
