22. Prepare for the bottom of the kettle
He wasn't stupid to do so.
He knew that normal eating and drinking never led to poverty.
And an extra pair of chopsticks or knives and forks, in exchange for the habitual daily gathering of these foreigners, the invisible convenience brought by this year is to invite them to the bar every day drunk like mud can not be exchanged.
Hearing him say this, Jason suddenly held back a sentence: "OK, but the food subsidy of our firm has to be handed over to you." ”
Han Huaiyi laughed: "What are you, the rest of you are the funds for our activities." For example, at the end of each month, or when someone has something to celebrate, wouldn't it be nice to use that money to throw a party? Yes, yes, it reminds me that the house I rent for these guys should have a lawn and a fireplace, and I still have a hand barbecue for you to try. ”
While coming to this world to develop his family business, Han Huaiyi also wants to enjoy life.
The ancients said that the combination of work and rest made sense.
A hard-working striver with a head full of money will not succeed.
People who are too utilitarian will only keep people away, and sometimes it is easier to achieve the goal by asking for it in the song than taking it in the middle.
These friends, who were surrounded by single dogs, cheered when they heard his words.
Because it's a really good idea.
But when they returned to Han's house and Zhou Ada calmed down and told about the situation in Yangzhou, this atmosphere disappeared.
Because Han Huaiyi came from a later life, he felt better about this matter.
But whether it was Zhou Ada, Gao Yuming, Xiangsheng Bao, including Shen Baoshan, who came over, they were all quite annoyed and excited when they heard that Shi Jintao wanted Han Huaizhong to be his son-in-law.
In fact, it was not only them, the foreigners heard that the guy who had tricked the Charlie brothers behind his back last time tried to save the situation in such a despicable way after his business was hit, and the foreigners were also angry.
True, they can't accept it either.
Although the foreigners in this period did not have a fairly strong clan plot like the Chinese, are the terms family and bloodline and even nobility unique to China?
Some of Citigroup's upper echelons are still proud of their thin royal blood.
When a foreigner's wife marries her husband, she will change her husband's surname.
So they can understand the indignation of Charlie's "distant" relatives, and given their relationship with Charlie, they are also in place.
At this time, Zhou Ada said another sentence that added fuel to the fire: "Young master, you have to go back and take a look, Shi Jintao, this animal, actually said this sentence to the eldest young master in front of the master's tablet that day, he is simply insulting the ancestors of our Han family!" ”
Hearing this, Han Huaiyi also instantly became angry: "Really? ”
"What the eldest young master told me can still be fake? The eldest young master is now lying down angrily. In addition, in the days when you were away, Zhang Shuming's house actually came to ask you about the scene of separating from the eldest young master, and finally forced the eldest young master to tell him to withdraw from the marriage, but he actually refused. The eldest young master was stimulated by these two things, and now he is lying down again. ”
"Charlie, what did he say?" A few foreign brothers immediately asked like a mother.
After Han Huaiyi relayed it, Bortai said: "Boss, you should go and clean up these bastards." ”
"In a violent way?" Han Huaiyi took a deep breath, and then waved his hand: "You all let me be quiet for a while." ”
With that, he walked with his teacup and sat down on a stone bench in the garden.
In fact, his anger just now was a bit exaggerated, after all, the foreigners and brothers were like that, and he was too uncooperative to be so calm.
However, Shi Jintao's behavior is really outrageous in this era.
The old boy should have lost in a hurry, so he came up with such a broken idea of "yours is also mine, mine is still mine".
Han Huaiyi then checked the ledger, the Shi family's assets had begun to become negative after this war, but if there was no Han family, he would have survived in only two years by relying on the Yangzhou water transportation market.
After the end of the Cao Yun, even if the Shi family breaks their muscles and bones, they will not die if they have this kind of foundation.
Looking at the Han family's current fixed real estate, docks, including rice shops that are closely related to the lives of the people, right rice shops.
After the Cao Yun, the north still needed supplies from the south, but this behavior changed from the official act of the Qing court to the spontaneous behavior of the people.
Merchants are profit-seeking, and the people are all hungry, provided that you survive the low tide period.
In that case, I could have done it earlier.
Han Huaiyi made up his mind and then returned to the room after thinking about it again, he first said to the foreigners in English: "Thank you for your righteous words, but things can't be solved directly in a violent way, I'm a businessman first and second... ”
Forget it, he pouted: "Actually, I'm still a businessman, am I?" ”
The foreigners are laughing, yes, yes, yes, you are a "Sicilian" merchant who kills people with five horses and spears and sets fires.
"Well, I just thought about it, the best way to clean up a person is to let him go up and down without a cone of land, but he must still live, this is the real cleanup. In addition, I analyze the current situation ... ”
He muttered, Zhou Ada and they didn't understand, but they could see the attitude of the foreigners towards the second young master, and it could be seen that the foreigners gradually showed shock and admiration when they listened to the words of the second young master.
Then the foreigners took their leave.
After Han Huaiyi sent them to the door, he turned around and said to Zhou Ada in front of Shen Baoshan: "I told the foreigners that I would send Ma Dangman to Yangzhou to do something in a few days, and you don't care about this, in short, the Shi family will not have a good time." ”
"And there's that." Han Huaiyi reminded them: "Never say anything about the relationship between those foreigners and me in Yangzhou!" ”
Gao Yuming hesitated for a long time and finally stopped talking, and Han Huaiyi then asked Shen Baoshan to find a Chinese person for him and arrange staff accommodation.
He didn't come back until the evening, but the silver on his body was not much less, and when there were no outsiders at night, Han Huaiyi confessed to them: "I was embarrassed by Shen Baoshan before. Even if Caoyun is over, do you still have to do business? Our Han family will be in danger if we do it ourselves, but what about foreigners doing it? ”
"What does the second young master mean?"
"Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle." Han Huaiyi raised his fingers: "In just one year, I can completely block the Shi family." ”
"How to do it, the second young master can easily say?" Gao Yuming asked, looking at the curious faces around him, Han Huaiyi smiled: "What's inconvenient with you." ”
The night was getting deeper.
Pei Dazhong sat in the courtyard and looked at the rockery by the wall, and said to the master quietly: "I'm finally leaving, it's okay, it's better to go to Shanghai than here." ”
"What Dong Weng said is that now Yangzhou is becoming more and more difficult."
"The era of salt merchants is the last glory of Yangzhou, Caoyun is just some mud legs in the struggle, you can see the decline of the Han family's compound, now this inland is a quagmire, smart people are going out."
