After listening to the child's report, Shao Nianshi felt a restless atmosphere.

He felt that he needed to do some effective stalking on this man who Uncle Huang paid too much attention to.

Therefore, Shao Nianshi pondered for a while, and then asked the half-old boy: "I don't know if you have any friends who are idle at home, or brothers who are about the same age but have not found a job, I need a few more people to help me do eyeliner in the city for a while." ”

"After all, I've only been here for a short time, and there aren't many people who need to use it. ”

"This person must be clever, and he must not publicize and reveal his identity when he is a child. ”

"I'm willing to pay twenty sons a day to hire him to be my eyeliner. ”

As soon as they heard that they could still get such a good income for helping Boss Shao with errands, these children looked at each other and immediately raised their heads.

"Yes, Boss Shao, don't worry, the most important thing we don't lack is brothers and sisters. ”

Just in the compound where they lived, there were three or four children in the family, but they all abounded.

These half-grown boys are at an embarrassing age when they can't go up or down, and they have difficulties raising them at home, and they can eat them one by one.

As a last resort, I can't find a job, and I can only wander around the streets.

If you ask them to do something else, these children really can't do anything, but if you look at someone from afar, there is no one more suitable than them.

So, that night, the three boys, who were apprentices in the Chujia Chamber of Commerce, not only slept on a soft and warm inn bed, but they also found a promising job for their seven or eight brothers.

As for the next morning, after paying the room fee for the children and telling those people to make an appointment to meet them in the evening, Shao Nianshi, who had tidied up his appearance, went straight to Frederick's trading house.

He went on this trip, one was to give the other party an advance payment of 200 pieces, and the rest was to ask Frederick to introduce or purchase the backlog of Deyao brand for him.

Just because of the sadness of the recent German textile factory, I am afraid that the factory director is about to reach the point where he can no longer hold on.

This is not to say that the Germans are unsustainable in business.

It's just that in terms of emotional and life security, it can't get the original security.

It's like now.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

"Yesterday, the front of Deyao Textile Factory was bombed, and the factory door disappeared!"

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

"Get me a newspaper!"

Shao Nianshi handed the newsboy three copper plates, and when he held up the freshly baked Tsundere Daily in front of him, what he saw was a large black-and-white photo of the textile factory being bombed.

Among them, it is said that there is no black hand of the Japanese, and Shao Nian himself does not believe it.

First, it was not a factory or an ingredient workshop that was bombed here, but an inconsequential gate that only represented a façade, and it was in this city that only the arrogant Japanese themselves dared to attack German industry.

Seeing this news in the newspaper, Shao Nianshi's desire to meet the German textile merchant was even stronger.

He had a feeling that for the strict and arrogant Germans, it was no longer possible to be the boss, and that it would be the only reason for them to withdraw from this money-making city.

So, can he boldly speculate that the other party's factory, which is now declining, but is still making money, has the possibility of getting out.

With the aim of building a new textile mill itself, if he buys a more mature textile mill within the budget, his shareholders should not have a big opinion, right?

With this in mind, Shao Nian came to Frederick's trading line, which could only hold out for four days.

Nowadays, the largest foreign trade house in Qingcheng is in chaos and mess.

Many of them were German employees who were directing the Chinese employees and apprentices in the trading house to move some of the important documents inside to the luggage warehouse on the docks.

The tables, chairs, benches, and small pendants that were used in these days were already sold by the local pawn shops.

At this time, everything here has already signaled the end of a country's indirect ownership of Qingcheng.

When he saw Shao Nian, he stood at the door and watched with relish, and Frederick, who was standing on the second floor and commanded by remote control, opened his welcome to Shao Nianshi from a distance.

"Oh, my best friend Shao, you came to me so early, did you say that you sold all my goods in one day?"

Shao Nianshi hugged the other party lightly and immediately separated, and he spread his hands and returned: "Mr. Frederick, I really don't have that magic. ”

"I'm just here today to give you a quarter of the sale. ”

Frederick was simply stunned to hear this.

200 pieces were sold in just one day, which is an astonishing speed of sales.

Probably sensing what Frederick was thinking, Shao Nianshi's next words were even more astonishing: "So I want to ask, if you can help me get the goods at this price, I think I can eat another eight hundred pieces." ”

Hearing this, Frederick's mouth really twitched, and he patted his somewhat fat chest and asked Shao Nianshi to give him a little time: "You wait, young man, you wait for me to call my good friend." ”

"He's got something going on that almost didn't freak him out last night. ”

"If I tell him the good news, I think he'll cheer him up. ”

It was the German textile merchant who was right, and Shao Nian interjected appropriately: "Then Mr. Frederick, can I take the liberty of making a request?"

"I don't know if this friend of yours has any plans to get rid of his factory, you know, I have a bit of a relationship with the brigade commander of the garrison in Qingcheng. ”

"I imagine that the lack of armed protection for you people who are far away from home is sufficient for locals like me. ”

This fully expressed his determination not to be afraid to compete with the Japanese when he was young, and at the same time, Mr. Frederick showed a surprised expression, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.

Only through the excited affection of the other party when he called, Shao Nianshi, who did not speak German, could also tell that the other party also had plans to get rid of the textile factory.

Looking at Frederick's anxious reaction, Shao Nianshi felt that he could push down the original expected offer by a few points.

Then, Shao Nianshi reached a preliminary agreement with a German businessman who was about to break his courage on the acquisition of plant machinery and equipment this morning.

At noon, Chen Jiefu, who was leading the workers to bury their heads in black and gray cloth, was also pulled in front of this negotiation table by the people sent out by Shao Nianshi.

Of course, Chen Jiefu, a skilled worker, has little say in price reduction.

However, he has both judgment for factory equipment and skilled workers, and when he inspected the production workshop in Germany, he also indirectly provided a lot of help to Shao Nianshi.

For example, the aging of machinery and equipment, the re-employment of retained workers, and the re-construction of the original factory gates, all of which became the basis for Shao Nian's price reduction.

In the end, Shao Nianshi even estimated the ownership of this piece of land and the fact that the factory building was not expensive in the purchase price of the other party.

This made Chen Jiefu, who listened to the whole process, think of a few words that are not too beautiful.

For example, robbing while the fire is burning, and falling into the well.

However, based on his status as a small businessman and handicraft workshop owner in Zhou Village, even if Shao Nianshi did more at this time, he, the director of the factory who mainly focused on technology, would not say anything more for the purpose of being merged.

As a result, this very tacit collaborator, after carrying out his own part of the work, maintained a fairly perfect state of silence for most of the rest of the time.

It is precisely because of his cooperation that Shao Nianshi acquired the German Deyao brand textile factory to the name of today's Dahua Textile Factory at a price that is almost half sold and half given.

And the money they pay?

The price is only sixty thousand and seven hundred oceans.

And the surplus 700 oceans are still because of the 700 pieces of fabric hoarded in the German factory.

This price is almost the same as the price at which Shao Nian planned a flour mill.

For a large and medium-sized textile mill with five well-established German-made production lines, it is the same price as a small flour mill with only two production lines......

It has to be said that the German boss was really emboldened by the intimidation of the Japanese.

To say that these business people are still relatively equal to their business partners.

Even if the German boss clearly made a loss-making deal, he did not forget to remind these Chinese of the danger they were about to face while signing the contract and preparing to leave quickly.

Because Shao Nian's cross-cutting with Chen Jiefu meant that the Japanese would point all their spearheads at the location of the new enemy.

The monopoly of the textile industry that they originally planned to implement on the Jiaodong Peninsula was about to encounter a new wave of obstacles and obstacles.

This is even more infuriating for the Japanese, who feel that they have won the game and have begun to prepare for the unification of the price of Qingcheng textiles, than the Germans' insistence on not retreating.

The German boss only resisted for a few months before receiving a bomb threat, and he didn't know how much trouble Shao Nianshi would suffer when he turned his head and still worked with them.

For the kind reminder of the German, Shao Nianshi expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

However, he has his own considerations for what will happen next.

No, when Chen Jiefu was in charge of handing over to the other party, Shao Nianshi first asked people to transport the cloth to the transfer warehouse under the name of Staff Officer Zhang.

Shao Nianshi found someone to ask Staff Officer Zhang about the afternoon's itinerary, and asked the person to go to the Yanhong restaurant in the alley of Pingkang Li in Qingcheng.

This place was recommended to Shao Nianshi by the chief shopkeeper in charge of the first chamber of commerce.

Based on the principle of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, after Shao Nianshi issued this invitation, he took a step ahead of Staff Officer Zhang, planning to go there to see what was going on.

I have to find out the reason why these businessmen praise Qingcheng Pingkangli, and if he is looking for a 'confidante' for Staff Officer Zhang, he can't take some unworthy things to serve others.

Speaking of which, this is really the first time Shao Nian has walked into a place like a brothel.

The time of doing business in Jeseong is not too short, and there are a lot of people in all kinds of scenes.

A few merchants get together, and when they eat and drink, they will more or less ask some girls to accompany them.

Shao Nian usually thinks that he is too young and has not yet opened his mind to deal with the past, if others call him to play together, he will also go to bed early and get up early to be a good student to shirk it.

The most outrageous thing Shao Nianshi did was to pick a dance with the courtesans who were on the dance floor in a nightclub or some drinking party, and no matter how much, although Shao Nianshi had eaten pork, he had never operated a knife himself.

Now, for the sake of his own business and for the sake of a small life, even if Pingkangli is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he is going to take a trip.

But when Shao Nian walked into this alley in person, he was stunned by the smooth and clean stone road here and the small western-style buildings with more than two floors everywhere.

It's so different from the well-defined brothel district in Jeseong.

It's as if there is no room for a mid-range brothel on the Red Street that lowers their ranks, and it is like a mixed hot pot in Pingkangli, stewed into a whole pot of smorgasbord.

Among them, there are not only Western-style nightclubs with Russian, Japanese, and Southeast Asian women as the pillars, but also traditional Chinese brothels with Oiran as the main pillars and listed to the outside world.

These top complexes are surrounded by a large cluster of small and medium-sized brothels attached to them.

Around these slightly low-rise building complexes, there is still a circle of low-ranking women and half-hidden prostitutes.

Of course, these low-class shackled houses, which were only frequented by the low-class coolies who worked as coolies on the docks, were basically in the deepest part of the small alleys on the main street of Pingkangli.

The old bustards who usually entrenched themselves on the main street to solicit customers will never let these people run to the street to intercept their customers, which will affect the business and reputation here.

As for the point chosen by Shao Nianshi, it is really interesting.

It is not up or down, but it is a lively time in another sense in Pingkangli.

Since they are all open at night, the people who work here or provide various services run their daily routines according to the girls' schedules.

According to the unwritten rules of the brothel.

The girls who spent the night could barely open their eyes until after ten o'clock.

The streets outside were bustling with traffic, but they were still as quiet as chickens.
