Chapter 867: An American Couple
There is a characteristic of the Shanghai Tang Public Concession, even if the world is turned upside down outside, I am still singing and dancing here!
The horses are running, dancing and dancing, and it is a city that never sleeps.
All kinds of banquets are held every day, and there is an endless stream of cocktail parties with many eyebrows.
If there is no drinking party in the public concession one day, it will really be a catastrophe.
War?
What the hell is war?
Angus International and Citibank Shanghai Branch jointly held a "Shanghai First Business Bank Friendship Meeting".
The purpose of the association is to invite business tycoons and dignitaries in the financial circle in the public concession to promote friendship with each other, find more business opportunities and make more money.
Many celebrities in the public concession have received this invitation.
For example, the new general manager of Zhengjin Bank, Yitian Inri.
Ida Inri is very happy to have received such an invitation.
He was a soldier by training, and the brutal fighting cost him an arm, but it gave him the opportunity to enter the financial circle.
And to successfully gain a foothold, it is essential to be familiar with Shanghai and deal with various business figures.
Especially this time, not only top banks such as Citibank and HSBC will participate, but also all kinds of business elites will also gather.
That would bring great opportunities to Zhengjin Bank.
And another person also received an invitation:
Ji Yunqing!
It stands to reason that although Ji Yunqing is a boss of the Green Gang and also does business, there is still a big gap between him and the elite business circle.
It was a coincidence that he was invited.
On that day, he was having a headache because the military commanders began to target him, and his protégé suddenly said that someone asked to see him.
Ji Yunqing, who was already upset, wanted to refuse, but the protégé said that it was two foreigners.
Foreigner?
Ji Yunqing didn't have time to think about it, and immediately agreed to meet him.
Both foreigners, a man and a woman, are very young.
The men are tall and the women are beautiful and fashionable.
Ji Yunqing was trying to find a translator, but the man said in stiff, but still understandable Chinese: "Mr. Ji, I can speak Chinese." ”
"Ah, can you speak Chinese? That's good, that's good. What are the two? ”
"I'm Eric Fletcher, this is my wife, Anita Fletcher, and we're from the United States." Eric said politely: "We took the liberty to visit Mr. Ji this time, because we have nothing to do, and we must want to make a hole in your house." ”
What the?
Ji Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and laughed: "Mr. Fletcher, your Chinese proverb is wrong, what you want to say is probably 'Nothing to show affection, either treachery or theft'." ”
"Ah, yes, yes, that's what I meant."
Several of Ji Yunqing's protégés all laughed "eating".
Ji Yunqing also couldn't cry or laugh: "Not only did you use this saying wrongly, but it was also very inappropriate." It's like you're going to have bad intentions toward me. ”
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Mr. Ji. My idiom is a bottle of water mixed with half a bottle of water jingling. ”
Ji Yunqing was convinced, and what he said was probably "a bottle of water doesn't make a sound, and half a bottle of water jingles": "Mr. Fletcher, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"That's right, Mr. Ji." Eric took out a business card and handed it to Ji Yunqing: "I am the general manager of Dorn Industrial Company in China, responsible for coming to Shanghai to develop business. But when I came to Shanghai, one of my suitcases was stolen. Mr. Ji, I can accept the loss of a little money, but in that suitcase, there are many important company documents. I've heard that as long as you find Mr. Ji in Shanghai, there's nothing you can't do. ”
Being complimented by a foreigner in person, Ji Yunqing was very proud in his heart.
He may not be able to help with Chinese affairs, but a foreigner came to beg him, which suddenly made him feel faced: "So this is this?" Little thing, you and your wife have tea here, right, where did you lose your suitcase? ”
After asking clearly, Ji Yunqing immediately said, "Someone." ”
"Boss Ji."
"Go, find Scarhead Ah San, let him see which of his subordinates has stolen something from a foreign friend without opening his eyes, and send it to me within an hour, if there is one thing missing, cut off one of the man's hands."
"Yes!"
Eric looked a little unconvinced: "Can you find it in an hour?" ”
"Mr. Fletcher, let's just have tea." Ji Yunqing was confident: "Within an hour, if you can't find what you lost, what you are missing, I will compensate you double." ”
It can be seen that Eric is still skeptical.
Ji Yunqing chatted with him while sneaking a glance at Mrs. Fletcher from time to time.
This lady is cold and noble, with a hot body, and she looks at the lustful Ji Yunqing with fascination, if it weren't for the fact that the other party is a foreigner, he can't wait to keep her by his side immediately.
And this Mr. Fletcher, although he can understand Chinese, is definitely a half-witted when it comes to idioms and colloquialisms, but he still likes to use them very much.
After chatting for less than an hour with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, I saw Ji Yunqing's protégé walking in with a suitcase and putting it on the ground.
Ji Yunqing smiled: "Mr. Fletcher, see if this is your suitcase?" ”
"Oh God." Eric's face was full of incredulity: "How is this possible?" ”
He stood up, opened the suitcase in front of Ji Yunqing, checked it carefully, then turned around and said in a shocked tone: "It's the same." ”
"That's good."
"Mr. Ji, to be honest, I didn't believe it when I came to you before." Eric muttered, "But now I see with my own eyes, that you are simply exhausted by doing things with all your might." ”
"That's a no-brainer, Mr. Fletcher, please be seated, please be seated."
Eric sat down again, sighed to himself for a long time, and then said, "According to our American habits, you have helped me, and I must give you something in return." ”
"Mr. Fletcher is so polite." For Ji Yunqing, this is just a gesture, and he can also curry favor with foreigners, maybe he will be able to help himself one day, why not?
Eric insisted, "No, no, I must repay you." Mr. Ji, I am in charge of developing the business of Dorn Company in Shanghai, and I need to find a partner here, and there is no one more suitable than you. You have the prestige and the power, and if we cooperate, I am sure that the business of Dorn will quickly flourish in Shanghai. ”
Ji Yunqing suddenly lost his mind.
Since the opening of Shanghai, more and more foreigners have entered the public concession, and an industry has been born in it:
Foreign deflated three!
This kind of foreign deflection uses his foreigner status to deceive Chinese.
And the deceived Chinese have no way to cry.
Some were even deceived by their in-laws on the spot.
Patrol houses that receive reports often do not care about such cases.
The Fletcher couple suddenly came to ask for their help, and then offered to cooperate, wouldn't it also be a foreign deflated?
Eric said to himself there: "Mr. Ji, to cooperate with Dorn Company, you don't need a penny from your partner. ”
Saying this, Ji Yunqing suddenly let go of half of his heart.
"At the same time, we will provide our partners with funds and goods, and what you have to do is to open up the company in Shanghai as soon as possible, and the products we sell," Eric continued. ”
"Mr. Fletcher, I would like to ask, what are the main products of your company?"
"I'm grateful for your help, Mr. Ji, so I don't want to hide anything." Eric said mysteriously: "On the surface, we are selling some daily necessities, but in reality we are selling new weapons. ”
"New weapons?"
"Mr. Ji, what do you think this is?"
"What is this?"
Looking at the strange-looking thing in front of him, Ji Yunqing was at a loss.
"Apache!"
Eric explains: "It can be used as knuckles, brass stabs, knives, and guns. Ah, sir, please get out of the way a moment. ”
Eric said as he got up and flicked the "Apache" mechanism into the clearing.
"Bang"!
This strange thing actually fired a bullet!
Ji Yunqing and his subordinates were dumbfounded.
Oh my God!
And such a magical weapon?
This can definitely kill people invisibly.
Once this weapon appears on the market, it will definitely be in short supply!
Ji Yunqing suddenly became fanatical, as if he saw countless tickets flying in front of his eyes!
Eric carefully put away the Apache: "Your main responsibility is to help us sell these weapons, and at the same time, in order to ensure the interests of both of us, we will set up a joint account in the bank, and all sales proceeds will be transferred to this account, and no one can use the funds in this account without the signature and consent of both parties, and you will specify which bank you will in!" ”
So what else is there to worry about?
The Americans showed the utmost sincerity, which is simply giving bundles of money for their own use!
"Okay, okay." Ji Yunqing said in a loud voice: "You Americans are happy to do things, Mr. Fletcher, don't worry, I promise to use the shortest time to make our weapons all over Shanghai!" ”
"That's great." Eric said happily: "I will come to sign the specific contract with you, and you will be the only general agent of Dorn Industrial Company in Shanghai!" ”
"Yes, yes, come on, prepare a feast, and I'm going to invite Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher to dinner."
"Ah, thank you for your kindness, but we still have something to do." Eric was about to get up, when he suddenly remembered something, and took out an invitation: "Mr. Ji, this is the invitation to the 'Shanghai First Business Bank Association', I can invite a friend of mine to participate together, if you are interested, you can meet many elites in the business and financial circles there." ”
Ji Yunqing's eyes lit up.
Of course, he knew about the sorority, and he knew the business opportunities contained in it, but the problem was that he was not invited at all.
Now, Mr. Fletcher has actually given himself such a great opportunity!
