15 swollen do (plus more to celebrate next week's strong push)
"What kind of madman would say good things about one city to another, like me."
"Hankow is good, but my foundation is in Shanghai, so I can only speak my heart here, under the protection of my White Russian Guard, under the murderous gaze of the consuls. On behalf of the Shanghai French Concession and the Consul General of the Shanghai French Concession, Mr. Fei Voli, I would like to welcome you to visit Shanghai for inspection and development. ”
After saying the above, he said: "Business must be fluid, so in addition to digging into the corners of Hankow, I also hope that one day in the future, when we industrial and commercial people in Shanghai, such as me, come to the Hankow Concession to invest and develop, we can be taken care of by you." ”
"Finally, I'm here to make a promise."
Han Huaiyi said to everyone seriously: "Today, I will pay!" ”
After the silence, everyone couldn't cry or laugh, and then applause erupted.
Then he raised his glass and began to socialize everywhere, and did not shy away from agreeing with various commercial houses that everyone would go back to Shanghai with him tomorrow to have a look.
It doesn't matter if you have it or not, he should make friends with food and lodging.
In fact, people are also curious about Shanghai, especially New Rome.
So they agreed.
Since this matter has been booked, after the end of the evening, Han Huaiyi explained to Wei Litao on the way back: "Fei Volli will definitely be surprised." But for the sake of grandeur, you should take a telegram to him in advance. ”
September 25, 1903.
Colorful flags flutter on the piers of New Rome.
The banner reads Welcome in various languages.
A joint delegation of people participating in the Hankou bidding firm arrived in Shanghai under the leadership of Han Huaiyi.
They were warmly welcomed by Fei Volli and a number of figures from the Board of Directors, as well as many people from the business circles of the French Concession.
Major newspapers such as Zilinxi News and Declarations have reported on this matter extensively.
The Ministry of Industry and Bureau was directly angry.
Because Charlie Han abducted all the powerful business groups in their country, they only came to the French Concession on this trip.
Of course, the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau also knew about this situation in advance.
But they knew what they knew, but they couldn't grab it.
Unless they can turn Han Huaiyi into a person in the public concession.
The market in the Far East is vast, and the French Concession has made targeted preparations for the arrivals.
In addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, under the persuasion of Fei Volli and Han Huaiyi, foreign businessmen have really made several cooperative businesses after careful investigation.
For example, Krupp reached a cooperation agreement with Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau on September 28.
They will support the Jiangnan Arsenal in terms of technical and rifle orders.
Although the list is not large and the profit is not high, it is a good sign.
After this news, Carnegie Steel also reached a cooperation intention with Wei Yungong's Jiangnan Shipyard.
Jiangnan Shipyard received technical support from Carnegie Steel Shipbuilding as well as some spare parts orders.
If you want to say that the most profitable is still New Rome.
Because they have steel structure workshops, and container patents.
Merchants who had visited the New Rome were naturally able to see the great value behind these two models.
In the end, under the persuasion of Fevoli, the French steel company bought the patent rights of Charlie Han's steel structure in mainland France for 100,000 silver dollars.
Not to be outdone, both Carnegie Steel and Krupp immediately bought the patent for the same price.
In addition, they will discuss the patent for container operation on October 2.
There is also gossip that Charlie Han agreed that they would copy this mode of transportation for free, but in terms of container manufacturing, especially on the patent of a key small thing, Charlie Han offered a sky-high price that exceeded the production mode of the steel structure workshop.
Steel groups are also considering.
Note that it is a consideration, not a rejection.
This flurry of news finally made Bane anxious.
Shanghai has two concessions.
The French Concession was in full swing only to set off his incompetence, which was quite fatal for Bain's political career, and the root of all this lies with Charlie Han!
Especially Charlie Han now has an income of at least hundreds of thousands of taels, so how can he be killed?
This has always been the way things in the world.
Interests and strength, not axioms, determine positions.
For example, in the Anglo-Japanese group, Deweimen and Mitsui Group, which were originally in the front, have now gradually evolved into Bain and Devimen.
Mitsui was a little shaken.
It would be unwise to fight with such Han Huaiyi.
Because according to his budget, Han Huaiyi currently has 50,000 + 300,000 steel structures in Zhang Zhidong, and he has 350,000 taels of funds.
In addition, according to Charlie Han's gangsterism, the price of his container patent will not be less than 300,000.
Then it is conservatively estimated that he will be able to get at least another 500,000 taels of funds on this.
Well, here's the problem.
Coupled with the rent and business of the big world, Charlie Han will soon have nearly a million surplus funds, right?
But the total value of goods in Tsarist Russia was no more than that.
What if everyone joins forces to make compensation for Charlie Han, who can be pitted? His big world is still there, his shipping career is still there, and his 500 acres of land are still there!
Mitsui even believed that the bastard would definitely take advantage of the reparations to resound the credibility of New Rome to the world.
By the way, BNP Paribas and himself have to give him some explanation, that bastard's appetite is not small.
After settling these accounts, Mitsui Cheng was not so enthusiastic about this matter, and he discussed with Yamaguchi Akihiro: "Han Sang has now completely become a climate, and it seems that his gains outweigh the losses in my calculations under the reputation of funding the enemy countries of Tsarist Russia." ”
"Yes, Han Sang is also going to open a dock in Taiwan, and jointly sell rubber materials with Hartung and us."
"It was worth dealing with him before, because we were able to seize the opportunity to seize the Far East shipping market with Shanghai as the core. But now ... ”
Mitsui Cheng was turning back and forth with his hands behind his back indoors, and he felt a little difficult to ride a tiger.
Because as soon as he retreated, then his relations with the British would be broken.
The supplies he promised to the Navy will also become empty talk.
"A mere Chinese businessman can actually compete with the huge forces on the other side in terms of chips!"
Mitsui Cheng was both angry and crazy when he encountered this kind of multiple-choice question, and he couldn't help but be deeply jealous, if Charlie Han was not a Qing man but an American or Frenchman, then he would still have it in Shanghai.
Putting this sentiment aside, Mitsui must find a balance as soon as possible.
While the two were plotting undecided, Davidson's phone call came.
He told Mitsui that Charlie Han had just informed him and hurriedly gave him the public relations fee.
When Mitsui Cheng heard this, his face suddenly looked like constipation.
Is this disgusting? It's really disgusting for him.
Because the 50,000 silver dollars were still taken out of Mitsui's pocket.
At that time, they thought that they would eat Han Charlie, and Devimon and Davidson didn't have much money, so Mitsui was impulsive.
He thought, this money is just a left-handed change for a right-hand anyway, and now...
Now the situation has become that he doesn't want to do it all, and the goods are still desperately jumping into the pit! What do you do?
