14. Invitation to visit (ask for a ticket)

For example, although it was getting late at the moment, he still saw a lot of Chinese workers pushing truckloads of garbage into the field.

He asked Luo Wei, who accompanied him: "Who is responsible for the landfill in the concession at present?" ”

Although Lowe was an American, he had deep ties in the British Concession in Hankow.

He knew this place quite well, and he immediately replied: "It was a person named Liu Xinsheng who signed a deal with the Ministry of Industry and Bureau. ”

The owner of the famous Xinsheng Road in the Hankou Concession.

Han Huaiyi remembered, he smiled and said: "Reclamation is indeed a good operation. ”

"Mr. Charlie is such a sensible person."

"That's because New Rome also has such a team, and we're currently trading three acres a week for commercial land." Han Huaiyi said truthfully to him.

Lowe was taken aback, three acres a week?

He couldn't help but wonder, at this rate, how much land will Charlie Han own in Shanghai in a few years?

Land is wealth, no wonder Charlie Han doesn't bother to play around with such a huge order.

But what should be expressed still has to be expressed, so Luo Wei said cryptically: "Mr. Charlie, can I really go to Shanghai with you this time?" ”

"They are very welcome, and I also welcome them to the French Concession in Shanghai. Consul General Fevoli is a good friend of mine, and he is a good politician who knows the benefits of reciprocity. Han Huaiyi spared no effort to boast for his brothers.

Lowe noticed that he used two words.

"Friends" and "French Concession".

This shows that Charlie Han and the French consul are not simply "power-money" relationships.

Han Huaiyi then said to him: "Do you have any connections over there in Chicago?" On the government side. ”

Lowe was stunned: "I'm from Cook County, and my uncle works as an assistant mayor in Chicago. J. Daley. Charlie, is there anything you can help with? ”

"It's a coincidence, but I'm just doing a friend a favor, so let's talk about the specifics when we go back to Shanghai."

As he spoke, the car had arrived at the largest hotel in the British Concession in Hankow, the three-storey Hongyun Hotel.

This is a Western-style classical pillar building, which is unique and quite beautiful in today's Hankou, but Han Huaiyi knows that the 100-year-old Hexuan Palace is the real atmosphere after ten or twenty years.

At this time, Wei Litao was already receiving businessmen from various countries who were arriving one after another.

Xie Miao, who accompanied him to arrive early, stepped forward to open the car door for Han Huaiyi.

It is estimated that there are 1,000 taels of silver in his pocket, and Xie Miao's attitude is obviously more attentive than before.

Even more diligent than him were the losers who saw Charlie Han.

The businessman has a long-term vision, and although they lost the order, they saw Charlie Han's ability from the bidding process.

And I have a better understanding of Charlie Han's strength in Shanghai.

It just so happened that Charlie Han sent a friendly invitation immediately afterwards, and the smart people naturally echoed with kindness.

So they all came, including Gago, who had been humiliated before.

In addition to this, there are uninvited.

"This is Mr. Eric, the consul of the French Concession in Hankow. This is Mr. Charlie Han. Wei Litao introduced Han Huaiyi on the side.

Eric, who is in his forties, is a man with an elegant temperament, a thin figure, and is about the same height as Han Huaiyi.

He smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Charlie, I have been looking up for a long time, your good friend Mr. Mamoyer and I once served in the same legion. ”

When Han Huaiyi responded, he said, "Actually, I already knew about your arrival, but Mamoye suggested that I wait until you are busy with the affairs of the Hanyang Iron Works before visiting!" By the way, I hate that guy in Baochang. ”

"What a coincidence, I despise him." Han Huaiyi laughed.

He thought the guy was funny.

But why didn't I hear Mamoyer tell me about it, and even when I opened the Wuchang wharf, they didn't mention anything about your relationship.

With these in mind, Han Huaiyi continued to smile, and then exchanged greetings with British Vice Consul Perrin.

"Mr. Charlie, your bidding model is instructive because he has been relatively fair."

"Yes, I can only guarantee relative fairness, in fact, I am more inclined to give Krupp in my heart, but I can't break the rules that everyone has negotiated." Han Huaiyi immediately asked Luo Wei beside him: "The list is already yours anyway, you don't mind if I say that." ”

His temperament is very different from that of contemporary Chinese, and he talks and laughs with foreigners, and even some postures that are vaguely above him fall in the eyes of many onlookers.

Everything about him began to be discussed in the society of Hankow.

But these people are not qualified to enter the hotel, so they can't know what Han Huaiyi will do next.

Han Huaiyi is not full of food, and he likes to invite people to eat when he has nothing to do.

He had this idea before he came.

The energy behind these comptoirs is enormous, and they have a strong interest in the Far East.

In that case, why didn't the new Rome follow their minds and make a good bridge?

Now that the atmosphere has arrived, Han Huaiyi found that his bidding model made the losers have no resentment towards him.

He immediately took the opportunity to hold a banquet and prepare to invite them.

You must know that these steel companies are well-deserved world-class in terms of steel production, manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc.

And what he has the heart to sell, the steel structure workshop that is beneficial to these enterprises, and the shipping container model also need to be seen by these people...

But he didn't talk about it until today.

If poor Xiangshuai knew that in this heart, the primary function of the bidding meeting of the Hanyang Iron Works was actually the business platform of New Rome, and it was estimated that he would have to be cut to relieve his hatred.

Therefore, even if there were people from the concession authorities of various countries present, Han Huaiyi did not shy away from and conceal his thoughts.

At the prelude ceremony to the induction.

Charlie Han walked to the podium in the banquet hall and said directly in English to the people from all over the world: "Everyone. ”

"Let's first congratulate Carnegie Steel Company on winning the renovation project of the Hanyang Iron Works through fair competition and reasonable price."

After the applause, the next sentence of the goods was: "By the way, congratulations on my perfect hosting of this work." What makes me happiest is that I am not cursed by you behind my back because of any black-box operation or the price of 50,000 silver dollars. ”

Everyone laughed, but the people of BNP Paribas had an awkward comparison with Mitsui Industries.

Lowe slapped his hands and thought, Charlie is really a grudge guy.

Han Huaiyi continued: "Just kidding, let's get back to business, Xie Miao, take your brothers to protect me first, because then I will dig their corners in front of the consuls." ”

It is said that Charlie Han laughs and scolds freely, and his character does have a unique charm, and his mouth. It's really good.

Everyone was puzzled and curious, so they all quieted down and listened patiently.
