Zhou Shiying was afraid that he would leave, and there would be no one to take care of the flowers and plants at home, and he thought that Lin Hongwen, who lived next door, was unreliable, so he let He Mu live in temporarily. Lin Hongwen was very dissatisfied with Zhou Shiying's dislike of himself again at first, but when he found out that He Mu was good at cooking, he was not dissatisfied at all. Lin Hongwen comes to eat twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. The things He Mu made were delicious, and after Lin Hongwen left the hospital, he rarely ate home-cooked food, so he ate more when he was hungry. However, as soon as Zhou Shiying left, Lin Hongwen had to run at both ends, tossing back and forth in the summer, which was very hard, although he ate more, but he was thinner and darker, but he was also stronger.

On this day, Lin Hongwen had dinner with He Mu early in the morning, and the two went to the business house together. Before he arrived, he saw someone waiting, Lin Hongwen said, "Could it be that there is something to buy in a hurry?" ”

He Mu glanced at it and said, "He's here to find me." ”

He Mu walked over and whispered to the man, Lin Hongwen had already opened the door here, and just wanted to beckon the two of them to come in, but found that the man had already left.

"You asked me to inquire about He Gui a while ago, and now I have some eyebrows," He Mu said.

"What the hell has he been doing in the past two years?" Lin Hongwen asked.

"He originally had some land in Hulan City, and later sold it to the Russians."

"Sold to the Russians?"

"Well, then he took the money and went to Mukden and opened a tobacco shop over there", He Mu said, "You know that thing, although it is not shallow to harm people, but it is indeed a million profits, and he made a lot of money in those two years." Later, I didn't know why I suddenly stopped doing it, closed the smoke house overnight, and left with my family. ”

"Gone?" Lin Hongwen smiled, "I'm afraid I offended someone, so I ran away overnight." ”

"I haven't inquired about the reason for this," He Mu said, "but in the two years he was in Fengtian, it is said that he was also ruthless, and he raised some people under his hands, and most of those people came back with him." ”

"It's one of them who can't ask Vincent about things", Lin Hongwen guessed, "I said, at that time in the hospital, he led his daughter to reward Dr. Xu, no matter how you look at it, you can't see that he is a wealthy master, it turns out that he went to sell opium, but he is really promising!" ”

"By the way, that Yao Shunchang is related to him", He Mu said, "When they were in Hulan City before, the relationship between the two was very good. Later, Yao Shunchang came to Fujiadian, and the two never broke off contact. ”

"I'm still wondering, why didn't I recruit him and didn't provoke him, he just came to us, so that's the case", Lin Hongwen thought for a while and asked, "Who was talking to you just now?" ”

"This ......," He Mu was speechless for a moment.

"You don't have to scruple", Lin Hongwen said, "I don't want to blame you, is that person the person who used to set up a gambling game with you?" ”

He Mu nodded, and Lin Hongwen continued, "I told you that Qingzhi and Shi Ying are both businessmen who abide by the rules, if everyone is well-behaved, with their intelligence, the business will definitely become bigger and bigger, and it will flourish." I'm afraid that I'm just afraid that there will be some unruly people, and this will not be easy to do. Do you remember, when the shop was not yet open, I said that I was not at ease that Shi Ying was here alone, but with you with him, I was relieved. ”

"Yes."

"It's the same now, Shi Ying and Qingzhi are all the way, and they can't make money without them, and they are not afraid of coming with a knife and a gun. But the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent", Lin Hongwen looked straight at He Mu and said, "The two of us are the ones who block the dark arrow." ”

"Understood," He Mu said firmly.

"So, we need that kind of person", Lin Hongwen said, "He Gui hasn't gotten in touch with us yet, but if he really gets in touch with us one day, just rely on the two of us, I'm afraid that we will do everything we can, and it will be difficult to ensure that the business is comprehensive." Find a few that you can trust, stuff money, anything, you can do the means and methods, I only ask for a little, let them do things for us in the future. ”

"I'll arrange the people", He Mu said in a deep voice, "I won't let you have anything." ”

"I'm just taking precautions", Lin Hongwen smiled, "You don't have to be too nervous or anxious." Now the small tree of our firm has not yet grown to the point of attracting the wind. If we don't mess with him, he won't provoke us, it's all to make money, even if Yao Shunchang is related to him, he won't fight with us for this little thing. ”

"I understand," He Mu replied.

Lin Hongwen stretched out his finger and pressed He Mu's eyebrows, shaking it back and forth, "Okay, don't wrinkle, no more wrinkles will come out." ”

He Mu loosened his brows and grinned.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Shiying has been gone for a month, and Lin Hongwen has become accustomed to the days of running around at both ends. At noon that day, Vincent came running and said that a new batch of foreign cloth was about to arrive. Lin Hongwen heard that it was foreign cloth, but he didn't even raise his eyelids, and the street was full of foreign cloth, so there was something fresh.

"But what's so special?" Xu Qingzhi asked kindly.

Vincent took out a piece from his pocket, "The latest production line, the highest level of technology, is definitely different from what you sell!" ”

Xu Qingzhi took the foreign cloth, and felt light and thin as soon as he started it, so he turned his hand and stuffed it to Lin Hongwen. Lin Hongwen touched it, the texture was indeed different from what was sold in the trading house, and he winked at Xu Qingzhi.

"What's the suit?" Xu Qingzhi asked bluntly.

Vincent shook his finger, "For such a good business, I thought about you first, how can you thank me?" ”

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "I heard that a new Western restaurant has opened in front of us, and we haven't had lunch yet, why don't we go together and talk while eating?" ”

Vincent put away the cloth and turned to walk outside. Xu Qingzhi hurriedly called out to him, and Wen Sen said, "Don't worry, I'll go get the atlas and come to you later." ”

After Vincent went out, Lin Hongwen said with some apprehension, "Let's go with the two of you, I haven't eaten those things, I heard that there are quite a lot of rules, I'll make jokes again." ”

"I just have to eat it before I have eaten it", Xu Qingzhi said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, you will sit next to me, and you will do what I do." ”

The three of them entered the western restaurant under the sun, which was not very large, and it was said to be opened by Russians. Vincent has been in China for almost two years, and this is the first time he has eaten Russian food. The three of them were led by the receptionist at the door and sat down by the window. As soon as the menu was brought in, all three of them were dumbfounded, and no one could understand the entire page of Russian. Vincent asked the waitress if she could speak English or Chinese, and the waitress was confused and turned away. After a while, another Chinese man came, but Xu Qingzhi and Lin Hongwen found that he just looked like a Chinese. Chinese is spoken in a stumbling manner, and English is also spoken in a southern and northern tone.

The three of them half-understood and half-understood, and ordered some cans of stuffy mutton, steak, beetroot soup and the like. The beetroot soup came first, and Vincent couldn't stand the smell so much that he took two sips and then pouted and put it aside. Xu Qingzhi originally liked light, and this soup naturally didn't please him. Lin Hongwen thinks it's not bad, he already likes spicy and exciting things. Later, the canned stewed mutton, meatloaf and steak still tasted good. Lin Hong's text was a little restrained, but later he looked at Xu Qingzhi's behavior and relaxed a little.

The three of them ate attentively, and none of them mentioned anything about business. It wasn't until the dessert came that Vincent handed over the album to Xu Qingzhi. The dessert was ice cream, Lin Hongwen had never eaten it, and his eyes were full of curiosity. I scooped a little with a small spoon and stuffed it into my mouth, it was sweet and cold. Although Lin Hongwen doesn't like sweets very much, he likes to be cool and eats very happily.

Xu Qingzhi flipped through the album, handed it to Lin Hongwen again, and then asked Vincent, "Is this batch of goods more or less?" ”

Vincent said, "I didn't have much to get it, and there was inevitably wear and tear during transportation, so I got even less, so I'll ask you first, and if you don't want it, I'll let the news out." But I don't think you should miss out on this deal. ”

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Such a sought-after thing, you think about us first, how can I not appreciate it, but it's okay, the old rules." ”

"Yes," said Vincent, "only for you." ”

The two parties happily reached a verbal agreement, and after returning to the firm, Vincent took the contract and gave it to Xu Qingzhi to sign. Although he has cooperated many times, Xu Qingzhi still carefully read all the terms one by one like every time before, and only then signed his name at the end.

After signing the contract, Vincent began to sell a series of new goods in his store, but Xu Qingzhi and Lin Hongwen were not interested, and Vincent had to go back with the contract depressed.

Vinson sat in his foreign house until dark, pulling out his pocket watch and checking the time, where the Chinese employees had already sorted out their goods, changed their clothes, and were ready to leave work. Vincent said goodbye to him and prepared to go back. Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the door, he was blocked back, Vincent looked at the three people who came in, and subconsciously stepped back, he thought that there was not a lot of money at the cash register, and it didn't hurt to give it to them, and he thought that in the drawer of the table in the corner, there was a hand. Gun.

The man at the head smiled and said to Vincent in English, "Mr. Vincent, don't be afraid, we are here today just because our boss, Mr. He, wants to talk to you about a business." ”
