What Han Huaiyi said should be taken for granted, and everyone also feels that it should be taken for granted.

No one is an all-rounder, and Han Huaiyi is no exception.

The Brotherhood has set a class restriction when choosing the Patriarch, which is based on this situation.

Everyone has a good side, and it is completely natural to leave this matter to Dewitt.

Besides, Han Huaiyi has already laid out his strategy.

He keenly passed through Ye Zhongxing's behavior, found the clue, and then broke the impending war.

Then he had a deep insight into each other's strengths and weaknesses and pointed out each other's fate.

Those present could fully imagine what kind of impact the new Rome insurance company would have on Swire & Co.'s insurance industry if it was born on the back of minting rights.

In terms of Shanghai, the power of Swire is completely incomparable with that of New Rome.

They are commercial houses, but New Rome is a force that gathers the military, government, business and people, and it can even be said that the structure of New Rome is equivalent to a small country!

And now the situation has become that New Rome has a calculus and no mind.

It was impossible for Swire & Co. to think that New Rome would develop the insurance industry.

So, before the battle was fought, the people of the Brotherhood knew that they had won most of the battle.

"As long as things go well, the insurance industry in New Rome can be contracted to Swire & Co. in exchange for the expansion of our ocean trade. It's a matter of choosing one or both of them to get stuck in the neck, and they can only endure it. If we were to break the net, it would be the people who would benefit from the insurance industry, we would gain fame, and the right to mint would give us far more than their payouts. As for ocean trade, the patent for the container model is still in our hands. ”

Han Huaiyi made a summary and spread his hands: "Why are they so unlucky." Actually messed with our brotherhood. ”

Everyone is already familiar with his personality.

This guy is always serious when he talks about things.

But when he feels that he is fully grasped, he will play treasure to vent his feelings.

Han Huaiyi said it so funny, and everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Dewitt, who was given another task by the Brotherhood, was even more excited, and then Han Huaiyi reminded him: "Money is not enough, sharing is king, in order to consolidate the position of Mr. Fivoli and you, I suggest that you introduce Battista in the insurance industry, so that Swire & Co. will have even more difficulty." ”

It's a good idea.

Everyone agreed, because Battista would see the interests of the Far East, and he would increase his support for Fevoli and Dewitt.

If you are worth using, then you are worth protecting.

It's as simple as that.

Then Li Deli shared one of his thoughts with everyone.

"Major Werther may be an opportunity for us to influence the British army."

Then he told everyone the truth about his communication with Werther.

When he heard his words, "I didn't come to the Far East for wealth, is it for the sake of a special motherland", Fei Volli was paralyzed with laughter.

It's the truth, we're all the same people.

But to tempt the British with such words is hilarious to everyone.

In the midst of laughter, Han Huaiyi said: "Then according to the price you offered, give him treatment, and you will contact him with his feelings, and strive to develop some more people." ”

"£100 a month?"

"Yes, 12,000 a year is enough to drive him crazy, but you have to be careful and don't let him take it for granted."

"If he dares to take the money and do nothing, I will clean him up." Li Deli assured.

The next day, Witte secretly came to the French Concession, entered the third floor of the club through the side door, and had a secret conversation with the people of the brotherhood.

There were no turns, and although he complained that the French Concession's accusations against Bane had made him a little embarrassed, he finally accepted a salary of one hundred pounds a month.

Through his mouth, the people in the French Concession also confirmed a situation.

Devimen did get very close to the people of Swire & Co., the founder of Swire & Co. Schwai's second son, Warren. Shi Huai was his best friend.

Warren was in charge of Swire & Co.'s inland waterways, and his brother Jack. Si Huai is in charge of the insurance business, while John Sr. is based in Hong Kong.

Ye Zhongxing worked under Warren.

Mitsui does have dealings with Devimen, but it has nothing to do with Swire & Co.

However, Han Huaiyi was only skeptical of his words.

That night, Mitsui Cheng also came with the news, he told Han Huaiyi that because he was not familiar with Swire & Co., he could only inquire about the situation through the Devimen side, but found nothing.

The cargo was very aggrieved: "Ever since I shipped to Qingdao on a New Roman ship, he has developed a kind of distrust of me. ”

"Is trust in someone like Devemon more important than my friendship?" Han Huaiyi asked him, and then said, "So does he know about the fact that I will have a dock in Taiwan?" ”

"He knew that, and I had been honest with him about my blackmailing a long time ago."

"It's not blackmail. It's just a fair exchange. Han Huaiyi emphasized, and at the same time thought that Swire & Co. had added another link to the chain of evidence against him.

"I know, I'm just saying that to him." Mitsui Cheng explained that he was congested, and he had to show his willingness to the perpetrator when he was cheated into a dog, which was really special.

Han Huaiyi then didn't stimulate the increasingly fragile nerves of the goods, and after meeting with him to sign the contract, he also gave him a box of Chinese Longjing as a gift.

Mitsui Cheng didn't stupidly ask him what was going on with Swire & Co., since Han Huaiyi didn't ask him, he shouldn't know.

Speaking of which, Mitsui is actually not a loss.

His reputation as a "business star" and "Lushun hero" is ringing, and except for Akihiro Yamaguchi and Yamaguchi Yuko who know the truth, other Japanese people are quite respectful to him.

In addition, the Mitsui consortium has also entrusted him with a greater burden.

So his resentment towards Han Huaiyi is gone, and there is only one thought, "In short, it's better for me to stay away from this guy if I'm fine".

In addition, he felt that Swire & Co. was going to be out of luck, so he decided to stay away from those guys as well.

So this guy ran fast after taking the tea, and Han Huaiyi, who originally wanted to keep him for dinner, had to give up.

Looking at Mitsui's back, he thought to himself, this thing is sick!

In the next few days, there was nothing to do in Shanghai, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the bad things Ye Zhongxing had done.

There was no reaction from Dwemen and Swire for the time being.

The time was imperceptibly the middle of April 1904.

On the 15th, several news came from outside Shanghai.

First, the Qing court's resolution to abolish the Caoyun Yamen had already been decided.

In addition, Ye Zhongxing was finally arrested in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, waiting for the next instructions from Shanghai.

This stemmed from Han Huaiyi's request, and he demanded that as long as someone was caught, he would notify him first and torture him on the spot.

The most important thing was that the French side made an adjustment, and the Shanghai Concession was removed from the control of the Indian governor and was now under the jurisdiction of the French mainland.
