At the end of the year, the inventory of various industries is the time when it is necessary to employ people. As the eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Wanjing naturally can't stay out of the matter. After being a little familiar with the accounting process, in the second week after returning to China, Lin Wanjing had to take over the chapter of Wanli Commercial Bank and sit in the position of the master. Thinking about it, the biggest customers of Wanli Commercial Bank are various foreign affairs foreign companies, and among them, the leader is St. Matthews Foreign Company, which is a shareholder of the Fernand family. As the duke's daughter-in-law and the honorary agent of the foreign firm in China, no one is more suitable than Lin Wanjing to be the big boss of Wanli Commercial Bank.

Wearing many hats, there are more names, and there are naturally more things to worry about.

As the old saying goes, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first move their hearts and endures to gain what they cannot.

Lin Wanjing has always comforted herself with this ancient admonition, but when the third notice of the foreign bank was placed on her desk, her patience touched the bottom line:

"Ah Ling, let the driver prepare the car and go to Heyan Fang."

"Uh...... Miss, don't send anyone to ask, you can go yourself...... Not suitable ......"

"What's wrong with it? I'm going to ask them if this shipment can be loaded onto the ship! ”

"However, the master has explained that if you can not go, don't go......"

"The current situation is that we can't help but go!"

Ah Ling couldn't resist the angry Lin Wanjing, so she had to put down the chores in her hand and go out the door.

The "Heyanfang" in Lin Wanjing's mouth is the industry of the Shen family in Luzhou. In the early years, when it came to the textile industry in Luzhou, the Shen family's "Heyanfang" was the second, and no one dared to call it the first. At that time, the "Jinpei Year" is not the current pomp, because only engaged in customized high-end textiles and jewelry, once on the verge of bankruptcy, in the "Jinpei Year" when it was in danger, Wanli Commercial Bank focused on gold to turn the tide, relying on the export orders of foreign banks in cooperation with Wanli Commercial Bank, "Jinpei Year" only regained its vigor, and gradually overwhelmed the Shen family's "Heyanfang".

Speaking of which, the relationship between the Shen family and the Lin family is very delicate, both are textile manufacturing tycoons in Luzhou, on the one hand, there is a conflict of interest, and on the other hand, they are partners who are cold - the Shen family relies on the Lin family's export orders to seek greater benefits, and the Lin family also relies on the Shen family's factory to digest more than forty percent of low-end orders.

In this case, the relationship between the two children turned into a big gamble. In fact, the Shen family has privately mentioned the matter of marriage to Mr. Lin several times, but Mr. Lin has been dragging it out on the grounds that his two daughters are staying in the United States, and he has not replied for a long time. Although Junyi, the son of the Shen family, is indeed a talent in Yushu Linfeng, he provoked the Shen family at a young age, and took care of the business. But Lin Wanjing is a daughter after all, if the two families really become in-laws, the Lin family will inevitably bow to the Shen family, and even be suppressed and annexed. In addition, Lin Wanjing is in her prime, and she is at the age when her heart is just moving, if the two really meet each other and cherish each other, I am afraid that this marriage will not be able to escape or escape. Old Man Lin had no other way but to privately explain to the boys and girls that strictly restricted the eldest lady from interacting with the Shen family, and if he could not see it, he would not see it.

The car arrived in front of the Heyanfang Commercial Bank, the driver was waiting outside, Lin Wanjing explained her intention to the waiter who answered the door, and the waiter led her to the inner courtyard, but only said, "The young master went out, please wait here", and left Lin Wanjing and A Ling, turned around and left. It is very different from the bustle of the front yard, the courtyard is because idlers are not allowed to enter, but it is quiet and quiet, Lin Wanjing found a place to sit under the corridor, looking at the merchants from all walks of life who came and went in the courtyard in a hurry, and suddenly remembered something:

"Ah Ling, have you ever seen this Shen Gongzi?"

Ah Ling stuck her eyes and shook her head: "I've never seen it." I thought you'd seen it, Miss! ”

When Lin Wanjing heard this, she rolled her eyes fiercely: It's enough, the master and servant don't even know what the person they want to look for looks like, so they came to the door to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt. Thinking like this, she stood up, thinking that it would be better to go back than to be embarrassed, but when she turned around, she saw a man wearing a top hat coming out of the back room, a three-piece set of gray tweeds, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, but it still could not hide his sad face. Perhaps sensing Lin Wanjing's gaze, the man raised his head, and the corners of his mouth moved with his beard, and he was pleasantly surprised:

"Miss Wanjing, long time no see!"

This gentleman Lin Wanjing is acquainted, as an equipment merchant active between the European continent and the south coast, Mr. Julian has always maintained a very close cooperative relationship with the Lin family, even in the years when Lin Wanjing was in the United Kingdom, Mr. Julian had to ask her out whenever he passed by the Duke of Fernand's territory.

"yes, long time no see." Lin Wanjing said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the wrinkles on Mr.'s forehead are getting more and more, but what troubles have you encountered?" ”

When Julian heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a wry smile: "What else can it be?" You said that the goods ordered were not wanted in a blink of an eye, and no one could buy them, they were all good equipment, why couldn't they be sold! ”

At the beginning of the year, Mr. Julian contacted a manufacturing plant that needed to import textile equipment and signed a cooperation agreement, **12 most advanced military fabric textile machines, who knew that the equipment in the transportation process, the freighter encountered wind and waves, delayed for a month and a half, and when it was delivered to the orderer, the orderer refused to accept the entire batch of goods on the grounds of overdue, and did not accept the delay he proposed, which has been stored in the warehouse of the port. At the end of the year, the port warehouse was tight, and the port authority asked him to pay off the arrears of warehouse lease and maintenance fees as soon as possible and remove the goods. But this batch of equipment is too advanced, so far I have not found anyone willing to take over, and if this continues, let alone pay off the arrears, I am afraid that I will not even be able to make up the money to buy a ferry ticket home for Christmas. No, thinking that the Shen family's Heyanfang had also been importing mechanical lubricants from him, he had the mentality of giving it a try, and wanted to ask the Shen family if they were willing to accept this batch of goods, but as expected, they were still closed.

Lin Wanjing knows this kind of equipment, and the military fabrics produced with them have fine stitches, windproof and warm, and have a solid texture, strong and wear-resistant. Even before she returned home, the fabric was already popular in the European continent's military industry, but it had not yet reached the shores of the sea, so no one knew how useful it was.

"Or...... I'll give you a way? Lin Wanjing said cautiously, and said seriously, she really wanted to buy this batch of equipment, not to mention that Mr. Julian promised that at present, if anyone is willing to take over and is willing to make no money, but ask for a return and buy a ticket home, "I'll go back tonight and talk to my father, maybe ...... I can take this plate. ”

"Really?!" Mr. Julian was so excited that he even jumped out in German, but after a while, the surprise of this moment was hidden by worry, "But the port still has warehouse lease fees and demurrage charges, and I heard that the man in charge of maritime affairs is not a good talker, he hinted that I want to receive this shipment, but I have to pay in installments, and the price is very low." Although I only want to get my money back, I ...... There is a tone in my heart, do you understand, Wanjing? I won't be willing to ......."

"Yes, I know." Lin Wanjing comforted him and said, "If I take over, I will find a way to pay these expenses, no matter what, he won't embarrass his compatriots." ”

"I hope so." Although Mr. Julian said this, the sadness on his face did not fade in the slightest, "If you really have a way to solve it, Miss, I will also share half of the warehouse management costs." ”

"It's easy to talk about warehouse management fees, but I really have something I want to discuss with you."

"Miss, just speak."

"If you don't want to do this kind of machinery sales business in the future, can you give me the business of importing engine oil?" I am your agent in China, you are responsible for helping me to purchase, I am responsible for sales, and all the payment is from the British Imperial Bank, do you think this is good? ”

Mr. Julian really doesn't want to get involved in the sales business in East Asia for a short time, this business road has been constrained too much, but now Lin Wanjing has offered to be his agent, he has returned to Europe, and he can sit and collect profits without leaving home, what is more beautiful than pie in the sky?

"Well said, well said!" Mr. Julian smiled, "I'll go back and sort out the goods and information, and take it to the lady's house tomorrow!" ”

This business was just like that, watching the German man's happy back leave, and then looking at Lin Wanjing, the elephant bone fan knocked rhythmically in the palm of her hand, looking like she was determined to win, Ah Ling was confused:

"Miss, are we here to urge the goods, or are we here to buy the goods? It's really ...... to just finalize such a big list casually No problem? ”

Lin Wanjing smiled proudly, and the Western fan lightly touched the tip of Ah Ling's nose: "Na, if you want to bargain, you must have capital in your hand, this is my capital." ”

When the second monk Ah Ling was confused, a young man with a peaked cap, suspender pants, and a pair of scholars came in from the side courtyard door, Lin Wanjing really didn't want to wait any longer, and walked straight to the young man:

"Lao Jia, when will your young master come back?"

The young man was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't realize that he was talking to him, looked left and right for a long time, pointed to himself, and said:

"Miss, are you talking to me?"

"Is there anyone else here besides you?" Lin Wanjing couldn't help but feel funny, "When will your young master come back?" I've been waiting for him here all morning! ”

"Miss, are you looking for me......" The man paused, pressed the brim of his cap down again, and coughed dryly, "Do you have anything important to find our young master?" ”

"I just want to ask him......" Lin Wanjing stopped talking and sighed, "Eh, I told you that you don't understand!" Just tell me when your young master will come back! ”

"I can't say for sure, maybe soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe backstage, if you have something important, Miss, you might as well tell me, I'll convey it for you, it's stronger than you are here every day."

Lin Wanjing thought about it, as if there was nothing wrong with what this little guy said.

"Okay, then please tell him that Wanli Commercial Bank has come to urge the goods, when will his batch of goods that have been delayed for a month and a half be delivered."

The young man thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "I ...... this shipment Our young master has more or less mentioned it, saying that other foreign companies have also taken a fancy to it, and they are willing to take it away at twice the price, so ......"

"But this batch of goods was ordered by us, if it is sold to others, your Shen family will also have to pay liquidated damages!"

"But...... I heard that the profit of this batch of goods is far higher than the liquidated damages, so I ......"

God knows how big the fire in Lin Wanjing's heart is, if she can, she really wants to grab this young master Shen who has never met before at this moment, and educate him on the way of business, but she also understands that the more this is the case, the more she can't lose her grace, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and asked:

"Is this what you mean, or what your young master means?"

"Yes......"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. If he really has this meaning, please tell him that he is unkind, and don't blame me for Lin Wanjing's unrighteousness! ”

Dropping this sentence, Lin Wanjing took Ah Ling and walked away angrily, the two of them had just left the courtyard gate, and a little boy ran in outside the side door:

"Young Master! Young master, don't make trouble, give me back the hat, the new hat! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll give it back to you." The man took off the cap and buckled it to the little boy's head, "I'm stingy, I'm afraid that Young Master Ben owes you a hat!" ”

The little boy pouted and fiddled with his hat, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the man looking in the direction of the courtyard gate for a long time.

"Young Master, what do you have in mind?"

"Tsk, seeing what you said, do I have to have some idea?"

"As the saying goes, if the young master squints, he is either a traitor or a thief!" The little boy said seriously, "Na." That's what you are. ”

Xu is homesick, anxious to go home for reunion, equipment import and oil monopoly agreement signed particularly smoothly, the afternoon of the signing, relieved German man bought a ticket to set off for China, because in a hurry to go home for Christmas, he had no way to accompany Lin Wanjing to deal with the port to pick up the goods, in order to apologize, he generously exempted a whole batch of engine oil on the job, Lin Wanjing not only purchased twelve sets of advanced equipment at a price lower than two-thirds of the market price, but also picked up a full three hundred barrels of mechanical lubricants, all happy.

As for the arrears of Heyanfang, Lin Wanjing seemed to have completely forgotten about it, and did not make any urgings and warnings. The delivery date is approaching, and a rare customer has come to Wanlixing.

"Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss!" Ah Ling ran all the way to Lin Wanjing's office, "Miss, Young Master Shen is here!" It is said that there are 100,000 urgent matters. ”

"Didn't you tell him I was busy?"

"Yes, but he said that there are 100,000 urgent matters, and he asked the young lady to take time out of her busy schedule to see him anyway."

"Oh?" Lin Wanjing put down the puzzle pieces in her hand, picked up the coffee cup, and looked at Ah Ling innocently: "You say, do I see it or not?" ”

"Uh......" Ah Ling was dumbfounded, but when she saw Lin Wanjing lowering her head and looking for the puzzle again, she hurriedly asked, "Then Miss, do you see it or not?" ”

Lin Wanjing picked up the coffee cup unhurriedly, took a small sip, and rolled her eyes: "Forget it, just tell him that Miss Ben can't spare time, let him come back in half a month." ”

"Huh? Half a month? ”

"What? Too short? Lin Wanjing thought for a while, "Yes, then a month!" Yes...... No, in a new year, come back to me in a new year. ”

"But Miss......"

"Go."

"But Miss ......"

"Go!"

"Yes Miss!"

About half a tea time later, Ah Ling came back, and as soon as she entered the door, she sat down on the carpet on the floor:

"That Young Master Shen, it's really difficult...... I don't listen to what I say, so I can persuade you to leave! ”

"What did he say?"

He said......" Ah Ling stood up slowly, simulating Shen Junyi's posture, and said, "Okay! Don't see it! Don't regret it! I don't believe that my Shen family can't live without you! ”

"Oh." Lin Wanjing still had an indifferent posture, and her eyes didn't take her eyes off the magnifying glass in her hand for a moment.

"Miss! I think it's a bit of a big deal this time, should we ...... Something to sign? ”

"Well, I think you have a point." Lin Wanjing nodded, put the puzzle in her hand in the right place, and then took the magnifying glass away, "So continue to let out the rumors, just say that the engine oil is sold at half price, the inventory is tight, and there is no replenishment when it is sold out." ”

"Miss......"

"Don't worry, you look, this Shen Junyi will have to come to us in a few days!"
