Xu Lang went home and made arrangements, and then went to Qiongzhou Mansion with Sun Dalei. This time, the two of them brought a company of Yulin Army, and selected about five or six hundred homeless people, hoping to find a foothold in Xuwen County this time.

Tao Shouqing, director of the Qiongzhou office, entertained two people in the Qiongzhou capital, and all the Yulin troops and displaced people were stationed outside the Qiongzhou capital.

At the banquet, the three of them talked and laughed, introducing each other's situation.

Sun Dalei drank a glass of wine: "Director Tao, you don't have to come to the city, aren't we the same in the sugar factory." ”

Tao Shouqing looked at Sun Dalei with a smile: "Director Sun, do you really not know or falsely don't know, the sugar factory is no longer our Yulin Bay." ”

"Ah, when?" Sun Dalei and Xu Lang were a little surprised, although both of them knew that Yulinwan intended to transfer the sugar factory to individuals, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Just yesterday." Tao Shouqing said, "The contract was signed, and the money that should have been paid was paid off, and it was delivered yesterday." I'm going to have to find another place in the city now. ”

"Transferred to?" Xu Lang asked, "How much money was transferred?" ”

"If you want to talk about the person who took over, you should all know that it is the first big customer that Sun Tianhao found, the Portuguese Munirio." Tao Shouqing replied, "The transfer fee plus the secret recipe is a total of 300,000 taels, which is agreed by the committee. Transferring to Westerners is not transferring to the Ming Dynasty, so the committee means that there are more points if you can. ”

Xu Lang didn't expect that it was actually a Westerner who took over the sugar factory: "Didn't Gao Pengju and Huang Yuansheng mean this, why didn't they take over." ”

"They have only been nominal shareholders for all these years, they have not been involved in the operation much, and they don't know anything about the sugar factory. Besides, they are doing well in other businesses now, so they don't want to do this anymore. ”

"Then the 300,000 transfer fee should also be divided with them according to the shares, they have a lot of shares." Xu Lang was suddenly a little reluctant to give up the 300,000 silver.

"Huh." Tao Shouqing said with a smile, "Of course you can't divide it like this, the secret recipe and craftsmanship account for the majority, and we all made it up." This piece of silver still belongs to Yulin Bay, and the rest is divided according to the shares. ”

"300,000 should be a lot." Sun Dalei asked again, "But can that Mourinho come up with so much silver at once?" ”

"Of course he can't." Tao Shouqing said with a smile, "Although Munirio has also made a lot of money in the sugar business over the years, it is still very difficult to take out 300,000 yuan at once, and he is unwilling to partner with others, so he paid half of it first, 150,000 yuan." We signed the contract in black and white, and the remaining half was paid off within 2 years. Anyway, the sugar factory is still in Qiongzhou Mansion, and the monk can't run the temple. ”

"What about the original workers?" Xu Lang asked, "Isn't there still a stake in Wu Tingyun and Wang Kezong in the sugar factory?" ”

"Wu Tingyun's shares were bought back a long time ago, and we bought them back not long after he left Qiongzhou Mansion." Tao Shouqing raised his glass as he spoke, "Wang Kezong's shares are still the same, and all those workers are retained, which is also what Munirio promised." ”

Xu Lang didn't speak while holding the cup, Tao Shouqing touched the cup with him: "Xu Lang, what are you thinking, why are you suddenly silent." ”

Xu Lang came back to his senses: "It's nothing, I'm wondering if Munirio is the first Westerner to take over our business, whether we can be regarded as introducing foreign capital." ”

"Hahahaha, you, you." Tao Shouqing and Sun Dalei laughed together, "Do you Xu Lang still want to bring in another one to go out." ”

"This can be there." Xu Lang also smiled, "Anyway, it's already sold to him, it's useless to think about it, it's better to drink a bar." Tomorrow I will set off with Da Lei to Xuwen County. ”

But Xu Lang and Sun Dalei didn't make it, and the three of them were halfway drunk, and Munirio hurriedly came over.

"Mr. Tao, how can you do this, you are too dishonest." Munirio came up and said a word.

Tao Shouqing was stunned: "Mr. Munirio, what do you mean by this?" Why don't we talk about integrity, our contract has been signed, and the delivery has been completed, why do you suddenly say that. ”

"Mr. Tao, does our contract stipulate that all workers must be retained, and all production processes are within the scope of transfer." Munirio didn't care about Xu Lang and Sun Dalei being present, and sat down, "But just this afternoon, all the workers stopped working. They claim that they don't know the manufacturing process, they don't know the formula, and they can't produce it. ”

"How is this possible?" Tao Shouqing was also anxious, and Sun Dalei pulled him, "Mr. Munirio, why are they like this, did they say anything else?" ”

"They're all going to leave the sugar mill." "In the evening, they came to me and said that they would rather not be paid than work in the sugar factory. ”

"Did these workers say why they didn't do it?" Sun Dalei asked again.

"I still want to ask you this question." "You can't sell me an empty factory, how can I produce without me?" ”

"Mr. Munirio, don't worry." Tao Shouqing really couldn't understand why this was the case, "Is there something wrong in the middle, have you lowered the wages of these workers?" ”

"How is this possible?" Munirio's eyes narrowed, "Mr. Tao, not only did I not reduce my wages, but all the workers received a 10% raise. ”

"Then why didn't they do it yet?" Tao Shouqing asked to himself.

Xu Lang asked on the side: "Director Tao, did you offend anyone when you transferred the sugar factory, or when you did business in the past?" ”

"No, I can offend anyone." Tao Shouqing thought about it carefully, and suddenly changed to Mandarin, "Don't say it, maybe someone really wants to make trouble." ”

The news that the sugar factory was going to transfer was released at the end of last year, and there were many people who had this intention, and Tao Shouqing had also negotiated with many people. However, because most of them could not come up with that much silver, or were unwilling to agree to Yulin Bay's request, it was finally transferred to Munirio. Among these negotiators, there was a man named Zhang Shang, who claimed to be a member of Zhang Jingxin, the governor of Liangguang, who also wanted to take over the sugar factory. But Zhang Shang's bid was too low, and he was arrogant everywhere during the negotiation, so Tao Shouqing did not sell the sugar factory to him. After this incident, Tao Shouqing didn't take it to heart, let alone inquire about whether Zhang Shang and Zhang Jingxin were related, and how close they were, and this matter was in the past.

Now that Xu Lang asked, Tao Shouqing remembered this person and these things at the beginning.

Tao Shouqing told Zhang Shang about it: "When I didn't promise him, he was very angry, and he also let go of his cruel words, and wanted to use Zhang Jingxin to suppress me. But I didn't take it seriously, is he doing it now? ”

"But what can he do?" Sun Dalei asked in Mandarin, "Does he have the power to buy off all the workers?" ”

"You don't have to buy it." Xu Lang interjected, "If the relationship between him and Zhang Jingxin is really close, he only needs to say a few words, and those workers may succumb, after all, this is still the Ming Dynasty." ”

Tao Shouqing didn't say anything more, and instead bowed his hand to Munirio: "Mr. Munirio, I know the situation." We have always been sincere in doing business in Yulin Bay, and we will never cheat to buy and sell. Give me ten days, I will definitely give you an explanation, and we will compensate you for all the losses within these ten days. ”

Hearing Tao Shouqing say this, Munirio also relieved a little: "Mr. Tao, we started to cooperate when Mr. Sun was here, and we have been working together very happily for so many years. Now that something like this has happened, I think none of us want to see it, and I also hope that Mr. Tao can give me a reasonable explanation. ”
