Chapter 66 Rubber Crisis I
The sun at the end of May has already had a certain heat, and people on the street are wearing single clothes, and it is a good time to fall asleep at this time, Zhang Agou walks on the street wearing a new outfit.
The two neighbors who bumped on the side talked about Zhang Agou who walked by. "Now that Ah Dog is developed, he is valued by foreigners to help them do things, and he may become a big comprador in the future."
"yes, that's a blessing. I couldn't afford to eat last month, but now I'm shaking. There was a sour air in his words.
After Zhang Agou heard the discussion between the two people behind him, he walked more and more vigorously, and his bones were lighter.
"Dog is resting, this is going out to run errands." Uncle Hu, who sells chaos at the entrance of the alley, greeted Zhang Agou with a smile on his face.
"Yes, where did Mr. Sterry get so many things in a day, only I worked hard to run errands, who made these foreign adults not easy to serve, it's really hard." Zhang Agou told Uncle Hu about his suffering, but with a smug look, he could see that he was suffering.
"Lord Yang is busy with things and has to eat, so I just gave you the chaos, which you Uncle Hu invited." Uncle Hu picked up a bowl of chaos and handed it to Zhang Agou.
"Uncle Hu, if you have something, you should say it first, your bowl of chaos is not delicious." Zhang Agou knew that Uncle Hu, who was smiling in front of him, was shrewd, and he must want to beg him to do something.
"Isn't this the one I heard you helped, a foreign company called Si ~ Wei ~ Li is selling stocks, I heard that buying this stock can get a dividend of 5 taels and 4 yuan every three months." Uncle Hu asked Zhang Agou cautiously.
After hearing Uncle Hu's words, Zhang Agou didn't care about him saying the wrong name of his foreign bank, but only looked him up and down. "Uncle Hu, do you have to know that this stock costs 60 taels of silver, can you afford it?" Zhang Agou asked a little disbelievingly.
After hearing Zhang Agou's question, Uncle Hu continued to talk with a smile. "Didn't I ask you, I don't know if it's reliable or not." After speaking, he handed Zhang Agou a pack of cigarettes, and Zhang Agou put it away when he saw that the cigarette was not bad, and said in a better tone. "Now we have two rubber plantations of 4,000 acres in Nanyang, and a pound of rubber can now be sold for 3 taels and 1 yuan of silver.
"Ah dog, this rubber is so profitable, your foreigner boss will give us money, you have such a good heart." Aunt Zhang, who sells cloth shoes next to her, is a little unconvinced, foreigners are so kind to send them money.
After hearing someone questioning his words, Zhang Agou retorted with an angry face. "That's because our foreign bank is going to expand production, and we plan to build two more rubber plantations of 5,000 acres, and the money in hand is not enough to let everyone pick up the cheap, if the money is enough, who will give you the chickens that lay golden eggs." Zhang Jinhua, let me tell you, now is if you want to buy it, you can't buy it yet. ”
Zhang Agou looked at the people who gradually gathered around and said, and did not forget to punish Aunt Zhang who dared to question herself. After hearing the reason Zhang Agou said, everyone became interested in this Willis rubber company and stepped forward to ask Zhang Agou about it.
Aunt Zhang, who sells soles, saw that there really seemed to be such a good thing, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Agou, and said to Zhang Agou in a tone that was almost crying. "Dog, it's all the eldest lady who is ignorant, you just look at the neighbors for so many years, and let the eldest mother's words as a fart."
After getting the repent of the doubter Aunt Zhang, Zhang Agou's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and he spoke generously. "Forget it, they are all neighborhoods, and I don't want to look bad, so let's forget about it."
The people around him talked about it and cheered. "Brother Dog is generous." "Yes is righteousness."
Uncle Hu looked at Zhang Agou, who was praised for not being able to find the north, and thought that he hadn't done anything yet, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him over and said. "Ah Dog, you have to help Uncle Hu this time, I have been counting on you for many years of savings."
After hearing Uncle Hu's words, Zhang Agou said to the crowd around watching the excitement. "Okay, there's nothing to do, I want to know about the situation of this rubber, and when I come back in the evening, I'll say, everyone is gone."
The people around who were watching the excitement all dispersed in twos and threes after hearing Zhang Agou's shouting. After seeing everyone walk away, Zhang Agou said to Uncle Hu. "I don't dare to guarantee whether Uncle Hu can buy stocks from our foreign bank now, I can only take you there."
"Okay, I'm going to prepare." After speaking, Uncle Hu took off the hanging chain on his body, took out a burden from under the chaos stall, and squeezed it in his hand. said to Aunt Zhang, who sells soles next to her. "Old sister-in-law, you can help me watch it, I'll come back when I go, if you're hungry, you can cook a bowl of chaos and eat."
"Look at what you said, I can still eat you, you go quickly, by the way, I will explore the way, I will help you watch it." Aunt Zhang said to Uncle Hu.
After getting Aunt Zhang to help take care of his stall, Uncle Hu followed Zhang Agou to the Willis Rubber Company on Yanjiang Road on the Bund.
After Aunt Zhang saw them go away, she wondered if she would convey the news to her relatives. Thinking about it, I was a little hungry, so I walked to Uncle Hu's wonton stall and saw if I could cook some wonton noodles to eat. When I lifted the lid of the stall where the ingredients were placed, there were only five raw wontons left. Aunt Zhang immediately felt unhappy, and scolded and scolded. "If you can't be detained, Hu Laosan, I'm embarrassed to invite me to eat five wontons." Aunt Zhang felt incomprehensible and angry, and picked up the five wontons in the dustpan and put them in the pot. "I'll eat five too, don't think I'm so good."
The two walked all the way to Willis' company, and they chatted as they went.
"Uncle Hu can't see it, you can make money selling wontons." Zhang Agou, who was walking on the dusty road, asked Uncle Hu.
"Where is it to sell some ravioli to make so much money. Ah dog, this is the little land in my hometown that was forcibly bought by Liu Juren, and this is the bit of a family belonging, and my son will marry a daughter-in-law to settle down when he grows up, so I can only find a chance to make some money and let the child settle down. Uncle Hu had tears in his eyes when he talked about this.
"You don't have to worry about it, but Uncle Hu, you know, after all, it's very hard to help you with things."
"Don't worry, your Uncle Hu won't treat you badly, as long as Ah Gou can help me do this. Uncle Hu will give you half of the dividends for the first time. After hearing Zhang Agou's words, Uncle Hu was not ambiguous, so he gave him the dividends and made a wish.
"Okay, Uncle Hu is guaranteed to do this." Zhang Agou also played a package ticket.
The two quickly walked to the door of the Willis Rubber Company at No. 17 Yanjiang Road.
"Uncle Hu is magnificent, this is what Ocean Travel should look like." Zhang Agou said to Uncle Hu beside him, with a total of 4,000 square meters of three floors in front of him. This was originally used by an American businessman to open a foreign firm, and it was sold a few years ago due to the shortage of domestic funds. Due to the high asking price, no one took over until he was bought by Sterry from 'England'.
"Uncle Hu, you wait here, I'll help you ask, don't go." Zhang Agou said to Uncle Hu beside him.
"Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to reply."
After greeting Uncle Hu, Zhang Agou tidied up his clothes and walked in bending over.
"Is Mr. Felix in the office?" Zhang Agou asked a newly recruited employee next to him.
"Manager Phillips is in his office." The employee said to Zhang Agou.
After asking, Zhang walked to the door of Phillips's office, tidied up his clothes again, and knocked lightly on the door three times.
"Please come in." Hearing the sound coming from the office, Zhang Agou bent his waist a little more and walked in.
"It turned out to be Zhang, is there something wrong?" Seeing Zhang Agou walking in, Phillips asked in Chinese, which is not very fluent, for Phillips this is still the result of sudden training.
"That's the case, my relatives want to buy shares in the company, I don't know if there are any more?" Zhang Agou said to Phillips word by word.
"You're saying that your piano is going to buy stocks."
"Choking." Zhang replied with his few English words.
"Do you know~ Dao, we don't have many stocks for tapping, how much do you buy on the medicine for your relatives~ relatives?"
"One share."
After some guess-and-guess conversations, Zhang Agou finally helped Hu Laosan buy one, and Willis Rubber Company issued a stock with a face value of sixty taels of silver.
After Uncle Hu handed over the money and got a stock certificate, he took Zhang Agou's hand and said. "Ah Gou, Uncle Hu prepared a few good dishes at home at night to comfort you."
"Look at what you say, how can you let Uncle Hu continue to break the bank." Zhang Agou couldn't help but postpone it.
"That's it, Uncle Hu is waiting for you at night."
Just as they were polite, an employee ran out of the building and shouted. "Brother Zhang, Mr. Sterry told you to go in."
After hearing his boss's call, Zhang Agou couldn't care about being polite, and hurriedly followed the employee into the building.
