Chapter VII: Severe punishment and non-slackening
Mr. Mu Mo found an opportunity to have a short conversation with Yang Xiaolin at the end of the reception. Their conversation was very pleasant, the Germans had a lot of eyeliner in the Chinese army, and those small actions of Yang Dagui in private might be able to hide from the British and French, but the Germans definitely knew it.
The matter of Jebtsundamba is really a bit strange, Yang Xiaolin's treatment of this Mongolian was very puzzling to the Germans in the past, but today the Germans understand something a little. If you understand, you will understand, Mu Mo will never say anything, let alone create any trouble for the Chinese side.
Since the Chinese were still planning to make a fuss in Russia, the Germans did not raise the issue of relations between China and Britain and France, and Mu Mo only briefly talked with Commander Yang about the continued cooperation between the two sides, and they did not avoid other people, and they discussed things in the hall.
"Commander Yang,"
Just finished Mr. Mu Mo's conversation, Yang Xiaolin suddenly saw Robert walking over from the side, this guy seemed to have something wrong, as if he had something to say to himself.
Yang Xiaolin greeted him: "What's wrong, Mr. Robert?" I heard that you were elected Speaker of the Local Assembly in the UK, right? ”
Robert shook the wine glass in his hand, as if he wasn't very excited about it: "I bought it with money." ”
The smile on Yang Xiaolin's face faded: "What happened?" ”
Robert's eyes looked around: "Can I find a place to talk to you alone?" I'm a bit troublesome and would like to ask for your help. ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded and beckoned Tai Wangu to prepare a room. As soon as he walked past the place with the most people, the expression on Robert's face immediately changed: "Commander Yang, I really need your help, I was deceived, that guy cheated me out of a million pounds in cash, and there is a serious gap in my current capital chain, if it can't be made up within a month." All my years of hard work will be in vain! And I'm not going back to the past, I still have other people's money in my hands, and they will kill me! ”
Yang Xiaolin was shocked when he heard this: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Robert told him in detail about what had happened, and it was a Chinese who deceived him, and the Chinese told Robert that he had found a gold mine in Henan and would definitely produce good gold. He had already bought it there, but now he lacked the skills and equipment. I want Robert to take a stake in the technology and equipment.
During this time, the man did not talk about money at all, and Robert immediately went to the field to investigate, and the result really allowed him to find ore with high gold content. Several pieces. Robert immediately made a deal with the man, and he made the deal.
The machines and equipment are up to him.
But just as he was leaving, a guy claiming to be a local government official came to the mine and said that the mine was illegal and that it was going to be re-auctioned. The man who approached Robert to work with him was able to stabilize the official, and the official made it clear that the mine could not be idle, and that it must start work immediately, if it could not be started in the near future. There will also be a re-auction.
The partner asked Mr. Robert to hurry up and bring the equipment, and Robert did not suspect anything at all, because everything was normal, and the man did not even talk to him about any money.
Robert returned to Shanghai. Contact the machine right away. He understood that it might be too late to pull machines from England or Europe, so he thought of Japan and the United States. At this time, he really seemed to be very lucky, but another Japanese was selling a batch of machines, and Robert immediately went to check it out. The machine is very good, sixty percent new, although the Japanese offer a little higher, but at the same time willing to provide technical guidance. Robert immediately signed a treaty with those people, and let the Japanese take care of sending the goods to Henan, installing them, and then he paid them in cash.
A sum of more than a million pounds in cash is a bit expensive, but compared to a gold mine, Robert thinks it's worth it. It was also very difficult for him to come up with this money, because he said that his business was very large, and many places were in urgent need of money, and he was piecing together when the Japanese went to install the equipment.
It took more than a month to get together more than one million, and news came from Henan that the equipment had been installed.
Robert sent the money to others, and all the procedures in the middle were in line with international business practices, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, until he went to Henan and looked at it, and his eyes were suddenly stupid.
The machine is installed, but it is not for gold mining, it is for coal mining, and it is not the batch of equipment that I see at all. The mine was not a gold mine at all, it was a coal mine. Maybe others think that the coal mine is also good, and it can pay back to some extent. But for Robert, it was not the same, the contract clearly stated that he could only get a share of the profits by digging up the gold mines.
The Chinese said to himself that he would cooperate to open a gold mine, but the fact was that he and the Japanese cooperated to open a coal mine. These two guys used their own money to open a mine, but they had nothing to do with Robert.
Robert was furious and went to the local government to sue the Chinese businessman and ask him to return his money. But he found that the other party drilled an obvious loophole, which is the risk of gold mines! The contract clearly states that if there is no gold mine, both parties will bear their own losses. And on the issue of the machine, the other party also adopted a very cunning policy, when entering the machine, it was only said that it was mining equipment, and as for what mining was not written.
The Chinese told him very clearly, either you wait for this mine to dig up the gold and I will divide it, or I will give you 200,000 and you get out, don't call me here.
Can gold be dug up from the coal mines?
Robert knew that he had been deceived: "Commander Yang, the first time I went, it was the gold ore they deliberately buried. I wouldn't care about the million if I had the time, but I really need the money right now, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you. ”
Yang Xiaolin patted Robert on the shoulder: "Okay, it's right for you to come to me for this matter, I'll lend you how much money you are missing now, as for the fact that you were deceived, you can rest assured, I will recover it for you." ”
Robert was stunned for a moment, he had come to ask Yang Xiaolin for help, but he was really not sure if he could get help before he came. First of all, those guys did a really thorough job and couldn't find their loopholes in the law. The second is that although he has dealt with Yang Xiaolin many times, he is not so authentic every time.
I really didn't expect Yang Xiaolin to agree so happily, and he didn't even go to investigate!
Yang Xiaolin obviously understood what he was thinking, smiled and said: "Actually, my impression of Mr. Robert is very simple, you are a hooligan, a villain, but you are not a liar, I know this very well. ”
Robert is very dark, and the cooperation between the two sides has been like this from the beginning, he always asks for a high price, taking advantage of the fire. But every time he says how much money is as much as he wants, and the quality of the equipment he gives himself is really okay, and there is no problem of adding money temporarily and shoddy. Yang Xiaolin wants to help him, not to say that there is a friendship between them, and businessmen must have a bottom line.
In the early days of China's later reform and opening up, many things like this happened, and Yang Xiaolin himself knew about one thing, which was what happened in Shanghai when he listened to his comrades-in-arms in the army.
It was the mid-80s, and there was a young man from a foreign country who came to China with the $100,000 his parents had saved to invest in the advertising industry. At that time, he found an advertiser and discussed a partnership. Later, the advertiser cheated him out of all his money, and the foreigner fought a lawsuit for a year and didn't win, and finally he left a sentence to the advertiser: "I lost $100,000 today, but you lost more than me!" ”
The advertiser ignored him, and used the $100,000 he had cheated to decorate the company magnificently and expand its business. And right next to his company, the foreign guy rented a shop of more than ten square meters and opened an advertising studio.
Ten years later, the advertiser went bankrupt, and the foreign guy's studio became one of the best advertising agencies in Shanghai. The Chinese are very strange, on the one hand, they call the advertiser brothers, saying that we can't make money for foreigners, and on the other hand, if he really needs to advertise, he immediately goes to the foreign guy. It's like a lot of people shouting to support domestic products, but when they need to buy something themselves, they don't hesitate to choose foreigners' goods.
For what?
You get $100,000, but what you are destroying is China's commercial order, and you are destroying the credit of the entire businessman. When no one believes in you anymore, you just can't go back.
Business doesn't do that, just like Robert, you can be a scoundrel, you can rob while it's hot, but you can't do business by scamming people. Maybe now the Chinese miner is complacent about having a white wolf in his empty glove, but Yang Xiaolin will definitely make him pay!
In front of Robert, Yang Xiaolin asked Tai Wangu to call Sheng Huaixuan, this matter is not enough to recover the money as soon as possible, but also to let him accept the trial of the law, one million pounds, a huge amount, enough to die.
In addition, there are the Japanese who cooperated with the Chinese businessman to deceive Robert, and Commander Yang instructed him very clearly, and he was guilty of the same crime.
Now that China's social order is being rebuilt, Yang Xiaolin hopes that the new China he has built will not be a society where swindlers are rampant, and it will not be a society where passers-by are indifferent. Tolerance is a kind of indulgence of criminals, and if the cost of crime is too low, it is to tempt others to sin.
The lesson of a Sanlu milk powder ruining an industry is profound enough. The image of Made in China in the international community must not be synonymous with cheap and defective products. In fact, even if there was no Robert in this matter, he was about to find a typical one, and that guy bumped into him, and he deserved it.
Mr. Robert was really moved: "Commander Yang, thank you so much. (To be continued......)
