Mr. Wu sat on the chair, very anxious and anxious waiting for Yang Rui to come over, not at all as steady as before. At the end of last year, he found Master Zhu and said what Yang Rui said to him that day, and as soon as Master Zhu heard that there was the approval of the adults of the imperial court, especially the praise of a person like Sheng Xuanhuai who was shaking his feet in Shanghai, he no longer doubted that Yang Rui was a revolutionary party, and the rest was the question of price, but if you don't sell it for the New Year, it will cost money, not to mention the marriage of the eldest son at the end of the year, it will cost money, on the one hand, it is your own clear discussion, and on the other hand, it is the field left by the ancestors, it is very difficult to choose, and the price offered by the other party is so low, if there is a 20,000, it is better to have 30,000 yuan.
Mr. Wu didn't know what Master Zhu was thinking, but he was also working for his own welfare, the family's house and the hope of marrying a concubine were between the thoughts of Master Zhu, and he roughly calculated on the way back, it cost two hundred yuan to rebuild his own house, and three hundred yuan to take a concubine, but he still had to live in the future, so he had to ask for another three or five hundred yuan, so he opened a price of no more than 15,000 yuan to Master Zhu, and he believed that as long as there was time to grind it, Master Zhu would definitely agree when he wanted to use money, if it weren't for the urgency of time, he would have offered 10,000 yuan, but Yang Rui wanted to negotiate before the Lantern Festival. In order to increase the pressure on Master Zhu, he shrunk the deadline given by Yang Rui to the tenth day of the first month, saying that Master Yang said that if he couldn't wait for news on the tenth day of the first month, he would not settle in the 6th line.
Finally, under such a shape, Mr. Zhu had to compromise for the sake of his reputation, but the price was still increased by 2,000 yuan, and Mr. Wu, who got the news, came over early on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and Mr. Zhu was negotiated, but he was afraid that Mr. Yang would go back on his word, or if he didn't give the promised remuneration, then he would be busy in vain, which was seven hundred yuan.
Mr. Wu was cramped, Yang Rui arrived, because it was the Chinese New Year, the two of them had a lot more false courtesy, and then Mr. Wu couldn't wait to talk about the negotiation between himself and Mr. Zhu, saying that Mr. Zhu agreed to sell the land, but when the price was about to reach 17,000 yuan, he stopped, and did not talk about how to deal with the regulations later, Yang Rui saw that Mr. Wu said half of the words and did not say anything, but his eyes kept turning, and he immediately understood what he meant, smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, the remuneration I promised must be paid, this must be assured, As long as the title deed is changed in the yamen, the money will be indispensable to you. ā
Mr. Wu was a little relieved after hearing this, but he thought of the matter of changing the land deed and said: "Master Yang, I don't know, this yamen will not be opened until the twentieth day of the first month. Ala Kannong first signed a document with Master Zhu, and then it was not too late to change the title deed when the government opened, which could be more than ten days. Besides, Master Zhu is still very reputable. ā
Yang Rui heard him say that he didn't know about the file in the yamen, and asked: "This land is bought and sold to pay taxes, right, I don't know how much to pay?" ā
Mr. Wu already knew this, just to solve the confusion of Master Yang, cleared his throat and said: "According to the law of commerce, one hundred taels is levied nine taels, plus dozens of taels are needed to play up and down, but generally buying land is not written in real numbers, 10,000 yuan is often written as 5,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan, just to pay less taxes, foreigners are even more powerful, they just rent forever, do not buy and sell, so they do not pay taxes." ā
It's still a foreign adult, and I know that if I get a permanent lease, I won't have to pay the tax of these nine points. Yang Rui found it difficult for Yang Rui to accept such a approach, and he was confused by modern real estate, thinking that the title deed could be mortgaged to get a huge loan. After thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Wu, let's not rent it forever, just buy it directly, as for waiting until the twentieth day of the first month, then wait until then." You go back and see at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, let Master Zhu bring the Chinese people over here and we will sign a document first, and after the document is signed, you will be paid 400 yuan, and the title deed will be exchanged, and I will pay the last 300 yuan. Master Zhu's side is 2,000 yuan, because the account room has gone home for the New Year, and he can only wait for the fifteenth to come back, and the 400 yuan on your side is also paid, and the account office will be paid as soon as it comes in six days. Do you think that's good? ā
Mr. Wu heard that he could take four hundred after the Lantern Festival, and nodded desperately, as for Master Zhu's money, as long as Master Yang did not give it, then he had no objection, and after finishing speaking, he immediately said goodbye and went back in high spirits. Yang Rui asked someone to send a letter to Brown immediately, telling him that the factory had bought a piece of land, and that he needed to draft a document and send it to him at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and then asked someone to go to Cheng Guangshun and ask him to meet with his uncle on the ground at the sixth line in the afternoon of the first ten days of the first month, so as to arrange the construction matters. After arranging these, Yang Rui slapped his thigh vigorously, and his heart was ecstatic.
On the tenth day of the first month, Yang Rui arrived at the instrument hall very early, at this time a few students from the physics and chemistry workshop came back, and they were doing real yĆ n in the real room, and the instrument hall was lively, Brown came very early and brought the contract he drafted, Yang Rui seemed to put it aside later, it is estimated that Master Zhu will bring a document himself, or add it to the document on his side.
When it was less than ten o'clock, Mr. Wu took the lead, Mr. Zhu followed, a group of people entered the instrument hall, Yang Rui hurriedly greeted him, and then beckoned the guys in the hall to tea, and after sitting down, the two sides chatted about the clerical matter, Mr. Zhu wrote a copy here, Yang Rui took it and translated the main content to Brown, and asked him if there was any problem.
Old Master Zhu saw that Yang Rui brought a foreigner, at first he thought that the foreigner was the master, until he sat down to look at the position and listened to Yang Rui's explanation, he knew that this was Old Master Yang's subordinate, and his heart suddenly became solemn, this year it was the foreigner who instructed the Chinese and the official government, and now Old Master Yang can actually instruct the foreigner, plus the previous knowledge of being praised by the imperial court member Sheng Xuanhuai, this is not what the background is, so they don't say anything but the more respectful they are in their hearts. Brown listened to the translated document and didn't feel the above problems, but just made a fine adjustment in the details, and then asked Master Zhu to bring a document to copy three copies, two copies of both sides, one is Chinese, and everyone signed it without objection after the text was written. After signing, Yang Rui invited Master Zhu to lunch, and a few people refused but went.
Master Zhu has always been very strange about what Yang Rui bought so much land for, so he asked: "Master Yang, that place is still far away from the concession, Master Yang wants to find a wharf, isn't there a pidgin, why do you want to go far." ā
Yang Rui didn't tell him that my chemical pollution was strict, and it could only be placed under the waterworks, so the nearest place was yours, and replied with a smile: "I, in fact, is also a small business, and the start is difficult, although the pidgin is close but the low price is high, I can only choose to be on Mr. Zhu's side." Speaking of which, I still have a fate with Master Zhu. "Let's have a toast with Master Zhu.
Master Zhu is not a person in the mall, he believes these words, and at the moment he also feels that it is really luck that this beach land can be sold, and he can't help but feel more comfortable, so he ponders what kind of excuse he will use not to go home after waiting for Yuan Sansan. One sells and one buys it feels like it's taking advantage, and this meal is very lively.
After eating, Yang Rui found a car to go to the Suzhou Creek, and still found Wang Laosan's boat last time to send 6 lines. When Cheng Guangshun arrived, his uncle was an old man in his fifties, because he often worked in the sun, his face was tanned, and he was an honest man, and he was only a worker leader, not at the level of a contract foreman, but there were more than a dozen masters he knew, plus the apprentices of these masters, there was no problem in forming a construction team.
At the moment, Yang Rui's requirements are very simple, that is, to build a more than 1,000 square meters of workshop, in which the place of the reaction tank has to be heightened to about five meters, and then there is the road and wharf, the site is only selected near the east ditch on this side, five hundred meters away from the river, the road because the overall planning has not been made, this should be reserved for the location of the road in the future, the wharf must be built a simple first, especially the silt on the shore should be hollowed out, according to the last measurement of the water depth near the shore is only four or five meters, and the place is only two meters, so that the big ship can not dock, The equipment cannot be removed, and a major project will be carried out in the future. Now we will focus on use, and then dismantle and change it in the future.
After these masters discussed, there are two problems that cannot be solved for the time being, one is that the bamboo shed has two places to be five meters high, this is a good ride, but it is afraid of typhoons in summer, the shed is too high to attract the wind, it is really to build such a high can only try; There is also the problem of silt, it is now a big winter can not be launched, and the workload to clear a hundred meters of silt is still very large, it is best to invite a foreigner to clear the dredging boat, fast and trouble-free.
Yang Rui nodded and wrote down, and he had to go to the concession to find someone to clear the dredging after this matter. At the moment, everyone was calculating various materials and labor plans in the cabin, and seeing that these masters were busy, Yang Rui had no choice but to pull aside. A few masters are still very experienced, and soon a result came out, and then asked Cheng Guangshun to write a good report to Yang Rui, only to see that it was a list of some materials, including bamboo, wood, thatch, nails, sand, artificial, etc., the cost of accounting is about 220 yuan, it is expected to start after the Lantern Festival, and it can be completed in 20 days, and the price is also very cheap. The rest will not be paid until after the Lantern Festival.
After the factory is done, the last thing is silt, this matter Yang Rui is not good to come forward directly, so he can only do it to McNeil in the real room, the Ministry of Industry Bureau has no holiday, but tomorrow happens to be Sunday, so I have to go and see it the day after tomorrow. McNeill reluctantly went early the next morning, as he was working on the magic telegraph, he really didn't want to leave the real room to deal with those stinky government officials, but under the boss's order he still had no choice, went two hours later and came back, reported: "Boss, the other party asked for a hundred pounds a day, and after I told the drawings and conditions of the river, they thought it would take five days to clear it, that is, a total of five hundred pounds." ā
"These guys must be crazy about money, this price is outrageous." Yang Rui shook his head, he could only think of another way, the largest equipment from Germany was two reaction tanks, each of which was about 800 catties, close to half a ton, to get such a big thing intact off the ship and transport it ashore, it was really a problem, if the big ship couldn't dock, it would take so long to use a small boat to barge it, how to get the big guy on the small boat ashore?
"By the way, boss, I've already telegraphed my friend in the United States, and he has replied to come aboard the ship next month." McNeil reported a new situation to Yang Rui.
"Very well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Harry, I'm very glad he came over to study this great thing, this thing is going to change the world." Yang Rui was flickering again, and said with a smile, "As long as your friend can do this job, I won't be stingy with gold." "Yang Rui, who has long wanted to find foreign aid, has been suffering from no contact information, and now he finally has one, whether it will work or not, and he will know when he comes.
McNeil was very happy to hear this, and said, "Yes, boss, his name is Harry, he is an engineer, he is much better than me. "Actually, his friendship with Harry is not very good, but the current research is not competent with his knowledge, only Harry is the best in this area in his circle, so he can only come to him, and I don't know what is going on with Harry, as soon as he receives the telegram, he immediately replies, and is also sure to come over next month, this is really a miracle, he thought to himself.
Things like land and factories have been solved in this way, all the things that can be done have been done, and the things that can't be done can only be done later, Yang Rui returned to the days of copying books every day, and slowly waited for Yu Hui Zuzhong to come back early for a few of them.
