In the front row of the venue, Jotaro Yamamoto, dressed in a tuxedo, sat here with a few henchmen, and his expression of smugness jumped on his face.

A few days before the bid was opened, I felt that the heat was almost over, and the most important thing was that Jotaro Yamamoto, who was no longer willing to continue to curry favor, was open and honest to Yan Shao, and he finally got what he wanted from Yan Shao, who 'got his wish'.

Jotaro Yamamoto didn't doubt that things were going so smoothly, you must know that this period of time does not count the cost of inviting Yan Shao to the Qinglou, and the gifts alone have been given almost tens of thousands, not to mention that this matter itself has not done much damage to Yan Shao. After all, he did not directly 'collude' with Yan Shao, but obtained the content of the bidding documents of other foreign companies from him, and obtained the project on better terms than other foreign companies. From a certain point of view, what he did was not only harmless to Yan Shao, but beneficial...

Of course, this is not to say that this project is not good for Yamamoto, first of all, the business of 1.5 million yuan itself can bring great benefits. And the huge reputation gained after winning the project can also make Mitsui & Co. closer to Jardine Matheson, Lihe and other foreign firms, and...

"After winning this project, I believe that the local side will also remember my ability..."Thinking that it won't be long before he can get this project, Yamamoto only feels that the hard work of some time ago has not been in vain.

"Yamamoto-kun, congratulations..."Sitting down in the seat next to Jotaro Yamamoto, Takeshi Mitsui said with both envy and jealousy.

The matter of Yan Shao and Yamamoto Jotaro's 'collusion' has long been spread among many foreign companies in Shanghai. As the branch manager of Mitsubishi & Co. Shanghai, it is certainly impossible for Takeshi Mitsui to be unaware.

Thinking of this project worth 1.5 million yuan, just falling into the hands of Jotaro Yamamoto, Takeshi Mitsui felt that he was about to be unable to suppress the jealousy in his heart.

Noticing Takeshi Mitsui's expression, Jotaro Yamamoto smiled to himself. "Mitsui-kun don't give up hope, it's hard to say everything until the final result comes out..."

Seeing that Jotaro Yamamoto was speaking so hypocritically, Takeshi Mitsui snorted coldly in his heart, didn't say anything, just quietly waited for the appearance of the bidder.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.

Jotaro Yamamoto, Takeshi Mitsui and the others looked back and happened to see Jardine and Reiwa and others walking in together.

Seeing this scene, Jotaro Yamamoto suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

It is important to know that several countries such as Britain, Germany and France are notoriously bitter enemies, and even when they were in Shanghai, foreign companies such as Jardine Matheson and Lihe were also very fiercely competitive. Now these foreign companies are actually walking together, and it looks like they are united...

"Probably not..."Thinking of the possibility of these foreign companies uniting, Jotaro Yamamoto frowned.

————————————————————

At the venue, when Jotaro Yamamoto and Takeshi Mitsui looked back, Harrison and the others walked past them without looking at them and sat down directly on the seats on the other side.

Seeing this scene, Jotaro Yamamoto frowned slightly.

He knew very well in his heart that for the sake of this project, he almost offended all the foreign companies that participated in this bidding. But he doesn't care about any of this, because if the foreign bank wants to develop in Shanghai, it is originally to snatch food from the mouths of other foreign companies, and the means are not important.

As long as he can get this business worth 1.5 million, even if he offends more people, the headquarters will only praise his ability, not blame anything, and the only thing that cannot be forgiven for them is incompetence.

On the other hand, although nothing seems to be revealed on the surface, careful people can see that the emotions of Harrison and the others are not as calm as they seem to be.

Recently, in order to save the situation, Harrison and others have jointly visited Yan Shao. However, after meeting him, Yan Shao always talked about him left and right, and avoided talking about their true purpose. Even if Harrison and the others were extremely rude and made their words clear, Yan Shao was just there to shirk that there was no such thing...

At this point, Harrison and the others were completely disappointed, and they didn't come this time because they had any luck mentality. They came this time just to disrupt what they saw as an extremely 'unfair' tender.

That's right, stirring yellow...

After despairing of the bidding, Harrison and some other senior executives of foreign banks have decided to stand up and protest against the unfairness of the bidding when the results are announced. In order to be able to obtain favorable support, Harrison even personally visited the Consul General of the British Consulate General in Shanghai, Sir Huo Bilan, and most of the foreign banks in other countries are also the same...

Thanks to the efforts of these foreign firms, the consuls general of several countries were also ready to wait for the results of the bid opening to be announced, and then protest to the Japanese consulate and the governor of Jiangsu, the yamen, against this vile and unfair commercial competition.

Originally, because of the situation in the Old Continent, Britain and Germany have always been-for-tat with each other, even in cities like Shanghai, which belong to other countries. However, this time, for the sake of the interests of their own businessmen, the governments of several countries turned a blind eye, which was a rare alliance.

Perhaps sensing the anger in the hearts of Harrison and the others, the atmosphere in the entire venue was like a crater before an eruption. Although there were whispers everywhere, no one dared to raise their voices.

It was at this time that Yan Shao finally came up from behind the scenes.

When Yan Shao, Elano and others walked on stage, there was a commotion in the venue.

Looking at Yan Shao, who was dressed in a black suit, Harrison's eyes were full of disappointment. The work is good, but the author's character may not be good, Harrison is also very clear about this, but in his opinion, even if Yan Shao is not a noble person, he should not be so unbearable in character...

"Am I really looking at the wrong person..."

Then Harrison seemed to hear something, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the senior class of the Lihe Foreign Bank on the side was signaling something to him.

Harrison knew very well that this was what the Taipan of the House of Rites and Foreign Relations meant to tell him to be prepared.

After nodding his head to show that he understood, Harrison looked at Yan Shao on the stage, and stood up in protest after he announced the result. The winner of this tender is not necessarily himself, but it must not be Mitsui & Co., which has long been agreed upon in many foreign firms.

As for whether exposing such a despicable deal will affect Yan Shao's reputation? Although Harrison used to be a fan of Yan Shao's books, he didn't think about his reputation when he thought Yan Shao was a person who didn't distinguish between public and private...

————————————————————

On the seat, looking at Yan Shao, who had already walked on the stage, Jotaro Yamamoto's face showed a rare trace of excitement, just waiting for Yan Shao to publicly announce that he had won the bid. But at the same time, he also began to think about how to make trouble in the contract.

As I have said, Mitsui Yoko also has a lot of profits when it comes to spinning. Although they also plan to sell equipment to Yan Shao this time, it does not mean that they are willing to see a competitor come out and compete with them for the market share that belongs to them, so it has become a matter of course to do something.

"But the quality, quantity and other aspects have been written in black and white, for this project, the foreign bank has offended a lot of the same, if you do something in this regard, even the credibility among customers will be lost, but..."

"These things that have hard indicators can't, but those things that can't be set in time and quality are not necessarily impossible, such as the training of workers..."

According to Yan Shao's requirements, the bidding foreign firm needs to bear the problems of equipment installation, staff training and plant construction, so after winning the bid, Yamamoto can do something on this, delay the time of worker training, and even take this opportunity to place people belonging to Mitsui and foreign companies among the workers...

"It's funny..."Looking up and seeing Yan Shao smiling at him on the stage, Jotaro Yamamoto nodded in response and said softly. Soon you won't be able to laugh anymore..."In history, Jotaro Yamamoto not only served as the branch president of Mitsui & Co., but also served as the 10th president of the Manchurian Railway in 1927, promoting Japan's political and economic aggression against China. It was only later that because Zhang Zuolin was killed, Tanaka Yoshishi stepped down, and Jotaro Yamamoto, who had no backstage, had to leave Mantetsu.

As a standard militarist, Yamamoto Jotaro has long been deeply humiliated by his deliberate efforts to meet a Chinese these days. Now that the goal is about to be achieved, thinking that he can deal with Yan Shao through the loopholes in the contract in the future, a trace of pleasure also rises in Yamamoto's heart.

Looking at the smug look on Yamamoto's face, Harrison and several other foreign companies were also ready to stand up and protest as soon as the results came out.

For a while, everyone in the entire venue focused their eyes on Yan Shao and the stack of documents in his hand.

It seemed that he noticed the gaze of everyone in the venue, smiled slightly, and after coughing lightly, Yan Shao raised his voice. "I declare..."

"It's coming!" Yamamoto instinctively clenched his fists, just waiting for Yan Shao to announce that he had won the bid.

Because he was so excited, he even forgot that before announcing the winning bid, Yan Shao should at least go through the procedures of opening the bid and recording the bid.

However, just as Yamamoto was waiting for Yan Shao to announce that he had won the bid, Yan Shao's next words were poured on him like a basin of cold water.

"I announce that Mitsui & Co. will be disqualified from bidding..."

"What!"

Hearing Yan Shao say this, the entire venue suddenly set off a commotion, and many people even stood up directly from their seats. And Jotaro Yamamoto, Harrison and others sitting in the front row, couldn't believe their ears.

Ignoring the commotion in the audience, Yan Shao continued to speak.

"Here, I will first explain the reason for the cancellation of Mitsui & Co.'s qualification, about half a month ago, Mitsui & Co. was suspected of sending people to sneak into my residence in a vain attempt to obtain some information about the bidding, and then the matter failed because it was discovered by the inspectors. Soon after, the president of the Shanghai branch of Mitsui & Co. came to the door in person, in a vain attempt to achieve the goal of 'colluding' with me by getting closer to each other..."

"Although I am not a gentleman, I will never do anything that violates business ethics by 'colluding with others', so I hereby announce the cancellation of Mitsui Foreign Company's qualifications before singing the bid!" As he spoke, Yan Shao glanced at Yamamoto, who was stunned below, and smiled slightly, his smile full of mockery

After a period of silence, there was a round of applause.

At the same time, Jotaro Yamamoto jumped up from his seat in a rage, how could he not know that he was being tricked by Yan Shao at this point.

However, just as Yamamoto was about to rush up to Yan Shao to settle the score, he saw Huang Hao and others walking up to the stage with the gift he had given to Yan Shao earlier. The gift worth tens of thousands of silver dollars filled a whole box, and Huang Hao and a few other strong young men also wasted half a day of strength to carry the box up.

Seeing this, Yamamoto Jotaro knew that it was useless to say anything, and almost all the foreign companies in the venue were offended by his previous behavior, and even his compatriots might not stand up to help him.

"This bastard" gritted his teeth, although he wanted to rush up and hack Yan Shao to death, but Yamamoto, the most reluctant, flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave here with a few henchmen. The most important thing for him now is how to eliminate the impact of this matter, and the rest of the things are not taken care of at all.

Looking at Yamamoto and his entourage, who left in embarrassment, many people on both sides of the passage booed, and a few from the United States even whistled. In the face of these humiliations, the faces of Yamamoto, Kosuke Yamaguchi and others turned crimson, and they hated Yan Shao even more in their hearts...

On stage, looking at the back of Yamamoto and his entourage leaving, Yan Shao felt as if he should say something. Just say something, after thinking about it for a long time, Yan Shao showed a bright smile on his face...

"Hehe..."
