The shopkeepers of the northern houses in Yuegang are busy, but there is no wave in the Southern Chamber of Commerce, especially the member firms of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but they continue to conduct normal trade.

"Hey!!"

Every morning, when the business office is about to open in the middle of the morning, the shopkeeper Tong is like being escorted to the execution ground, which is extremely uncomfortable.

The time for the last delivery was already three days long, not to mention the British East India Company, which was the earliest and the most ordered goods, Dickinson, was delayed for more than a week.

Dickinson visited Fan's Yuegang branch on time every day, and his tone and tone were also more embarrassing day by day, but the shopkeeper Tong knew that they were at a loss, and in addition to going around and asking the other party for one or two, he really couldn't come up with a better way.

Although Shopkeeper Tong represents the head and face of Fan's firm on the side of Yuegang, he can decide ordinary things in a word, but this time the matter is about two or three hundred thousand taels of silver compensation, and Shopkeeper Tong can only shirk while waiting for the representative of the proprietor who can really take charge of Fan's business to come and solve it.

The door of Fan's business has not been open for a long time, and someone has come to visit, which has been the norm in these days, but the guests who do not live today are beyond the expectations of the shopkeeper Tong.

"Heh, what kind of wind is this, you are blowing the shopkeeper??"

The person who walked into the door of Fan's Yuegang branch store was an old man in his fifties with gray hair and a somewhat fat body.

"Hahaha, let's go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and when we came to visit today, there are indeed some things to ask the shopkeeper Tong to help me with one or two."

The old man surnamed Guan is actually not an outsider, but he is the head of the Hongmen Qixintang branch in Yuegang, who used to be Li Tianyang's confidant, and then coveted the comfort of life and stayed in Tanmen Town, and finally came to Dayuan Island again Guan Juxiong, the Hongmen veteran.

After Hongmen survived the initial period of talent shortage, students graduated from Hongmen Bengang School every year, bringing batches of vitality to Hongmen.

And a reckless background like Guan Juxiong, he had a good opportunity back then, and he worked hard to learn cultural knowledge, but in the later period, he was dizzy and chose to take care of the family business for Li Tianyang and them in Tanmen, but in the end he lost the opportunity to become the highest wave of people in Hongmen.

In terms of martial arts and motivation, Guan Juxiong, who came to Dayuan Island again when he was more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, was already a head behind An Xianqiang, An Xianming and other Hongmen who gradually showed their prominence in cultivating their own children.

Not to mention that Guan Juxiong was influenced by the feudal ideology of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, but he was a little out of place with the Hongmen in many things.

Therefore, since Li Tianyang arranged Guan Juxiong to Yuegang to replace the previous shopkeeper Zhang Yuyan, he has never been moved by Li Tianyang, and he has stayed until now.

Of course, over the years, Guan Juxiong has also made great contributions to the development of Hongmen Qixintang in Yuegang and its surroundings, and now almost all over Fujian is the "Youjian" inn series, as well as Qixintang's semicolon stores, all of which are inseparable from Guan Juxiong's efforts.

However, Guan Juxiong's ability is limited after all, and with his performance in Yuegang, it can only stop here at most, so although Li Tianyang wants to cultivate him more, but after many hesitations, he still did not say that Guan Juxiong's position will be adjusted upward.

After all, the promotion system of Hongmen members has been gradually standardized over the years, and if he wants to be promoted, then he must have an outstanding merit.

However, Guan Juxiong also looked down on these things, as he grew older, if he had the idea of fighting again, then he had been the shopkeeper of Qixintang in Yuegang all these years, and once again felt the awe of others for him, and after living in a rich and prosperous place, he was once again consumed The fighting spirit that he had finally mustered up.

The more Hongmen's territory expands, the stronger the strength becomes, and the more comfortable his Guan Ju signal is in the good days of Yuegang.

As the closest prosperous port to Dayuan Island in a straight line, Hongmen's investment in Quanzhou Moon Port is incomparable to other places.

Especially when Li Tianyang became the commander of the Fujian Navy Division and controlled the strength of the Fujian Penghu Water Division, Hongmen justifiably placed a large number of people in it.

In the officialdom, except for the Fujian governor Yamen, who can issue an order to Li Tianyang, a feudal general with strong strength, any other commander's order, if Li Tianyang is unwilling to bird you, you really have no way.

As the shopkeeper of Guan Juxiong, who is the Yuegang branch of Hongmen Qixintang, he is naturally recognized by all forces as the plenipotentiary representative of Hongmen Li Tianyang in Yuegang.

"Please!!"

Shopkeeper Tong thought about it carefully in his heart, thinking that there was not much to do with his own business and Hongmen Qixintang, although he didn't know the other party's intentions, but Shopkeeper Tong was more or less relaxed.

"Oh!"

Guan Juxiong slowly took out a stack of parchment paper from his long sleeves, gently smoothed it out, then flipped it over, put it in front of the square table where the two were sitting opposite each other, and looked up at each other: "These are all contracts between Mr. Dickinson of the British East India Company, Mr. Mototaro Toyama and others handed over to me to deal with on behalf of Qixintang, and your firm. ”

"To do our sea trading, in addition to watching God enjoy food, we also have to seize the time when the hurricane decreases to reduce the risk of running to the sea."

"After struggling with your firm for so long, these Westerners and Easterners can't wait any longer, so they mortgaged this contract to our firm after purchasing the goods in my Qixintang yesterday, and asked us to collect the default money to offset some of the value of their goods."

"Therefore, today's visit by me is actually to give you an ultimatum to the shopkeeper Tong, and I hope that your firm can give us a satisfactory answer within five days in accordance with the content of the contract, otherwise we will have to go to the officialdom!!"

When he entered the door, Guan Juxiong was still smiling and kind, but when he gradually said the key point, it was already righteous and unspeakable!

"Shopkeeper Guan, you, you are going to have trouble with our Fan firm!!"

If he only suspected himself of this series of things before, the mastermind behind it might be Hongmen, but now when Hongmen really showed their minions, Shopkeeper Tong was already convinced!
