394 Official involvement

The Manila City Newspaper is very simple, and even Yu Shuo has already attracted the attention of the dock patrol security officers when Meng Fei and they had a dispute at the dock.

The government agencies are almost the same as those of Keelung Port, so that a complex area like the wharf is often patrolled by more than one company of security personnel.

However, when others are not in need, incidents like the current Meng Fei and their disputes have certainly attracted the attention of the security guards, but they will not forcibly intervene in them.

First, it is naturally because commercial disputes like this are not uncommon in the dock area, and if everything is managed, I am afraid that no matter how many security guards can manage it.

Second, it is the scope of authority of the security force, which does not include commercial disputes, unless the other party needs to take the initiative to ask for help, otherwise they are in charge, which can be regarded as overstepping.

The Manila Business Bureau has a special office in the dock area, and the neighborhood committee also has a certain authority to deal with such disputes.

The people from the Commercial Bureau are not young, but they are not old, they are just in their early thirties, and their appearance is more indigenous, which really surprised Meng Fei and them.

"What's going on?"

The person who came was originally very polite and wanted to ask the voice question at the scene, but when he saw the existence of a person he didn't like very much, but had some ability, the disgust in his eyes flashed: "Ma Yufei, why are you there?" ”

In the past few years, Ma Yufei has always caused some disputes from time to time after he has a sister-in-law of the director of the Commercial Bureau, which makes the staff of the Commercial Bureau extremely unhappy.

"Hey, Chief Parako, it's really nothing for me this time, I'm just an ordinary businessman who has a grudge and wants to persuade the dispute between the two of them."

Ma Yufei said with a smile on his face.

He himself knew that Pala, a native, hated him, but with the support of Pala's boss behind him, he was not afraid that the other party would lose his face in the air. Anyway, this time he walked to the front of the stage, it was not him who changed the face of a Westerner, no matter how he said that Para is not good at picking bones in eggs, deliberately making himself uncomfortable!

Originally, Ma Yufei's idea was very sufficient, and by setting up a bureau, Meng Fei would suffer economic losses secondly. The most important thing is that he needs to use this incident to make Meng Fei lose his business reputation at the beginning, and a person who dares to harm other merchants by covering up his own goods problems, I am afraid that few people will be willing to trade with him.

For this reason, Ma Yufei originally thought that after he stood up, he would use the government position of his sister-in-law behind him to force Meng Fei to see them comply. As long as they admit defeat, it naturally means that they are all in dispute, and the fault is all on Meng Fei, and it is impossible to clear their innocence even if they justify it. : :

However, the ideal is very beautiful and the reality is very skinny, Ma Yufei never thought that this guy who came from all over the world, did ocean trade for the first time, and had nothing to do with it, really had the courage to compete with himself, and finally alarmed the Commercial Bureau, which made Ma Yufei feel very unhappy.

However, Ma Yufei is not very worried, he will expose the bureau they set up in the investigation of the Commercial Bureau, so that his sister-in-law is there in the Commercial Bureau, and on the bright side, he let Tom's bureau occupy a certain reason, at least in the contract.

"My lord, we are businessmen from Shanghe County, Shandong Province,

The first time I came to Manila to trade with my goods, I met this noble merchant who claimed to be from the Kingdom of Spain and was willing to buy our goods. ”

Meng Fei held all the expectations, and recounted the events to the chief of the Pala section in front of him.

“…………”

"You said you had truthfully reported the situation of your goods before you sold them to this Mr. Tom, and that you had been in a storm at sea before?"

Chief Parako interrupted Meng Fei's narration from time to time and asked about the details, while Tom and Ma Yufei, Westerners on the side, wanted to interject several times to defend themselves, but they were forcibly stopped by Chief Parako.

"Yes, I swear in the name of Mazu that we have truthfully reported these problems to Mr. Tom, and we have carefully counted the cargo in the cabin to make sure that there is no quality problem with the cargo!"

Meng Fei replied affirmatively, facing this government official who had not yet expressed his position, but was extremely serious, his heart gradually calmed down, and he always felt that the other party might really be able to make decisions for himself.

"Because we are trading for the first time in the ocean, in order to avoid the appearance of Wentong goods, the tea we transport is carefully sealed with bamboo cans; The spices and satin are wrapped in several layers of kraft paper. ”

"Later, when we encountered a storm, we cleaned up our damaged goods such as silk and spices as soon as possible, and then sold them at a loss to those merchants who were willing to buy them......"

"Who procured your damaged goods?"

"It's the shopkeeper of the shop at No. 74 Hongdu Street, and the ones hanging on their gatehouse are not Chinese characters, so I don't know them, but the little brother who is my translator told me that the owner of this grocery store is called Songpa."

Bi Yong hurriedly answered, after all, he handled these things.

"Well, there is such a person in the grocery store at No. 77 Hongdu Street!"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Chief Parako seemed to think of something, and nodded in agreement with Bi Yong's reply.

……

Meng Fei's questioning, under Pala's questioning, lasted for about an hour, and many spectators who didn't see anything good left one after another, but there were still many businessmen and proprietors who didn't have computers left, at least they wanted to see what the final result of this matter was: in the end, this merchant named Meng Fei was shoddy and deceived customers; Or are these Westerners framing good people, in a vain attempt to make huge profits by bargaining.

"It's your turn, Mr. Tom, tell me what happened to you!"

After listening to Meng Fei's account, Para did not give up listening to the other party's statement, but continued to listen patiently to the other party's account to see what there was any contradiction with Meng Fei's account.

"Back to the chief of Parako, as a Spanish businessman, I run a business house of decent scale in the port of Batavia, and I came to Manila this time to collect a batch of oriental specialties and replenish the inventory of my business house in Batavia."

"The other party was listed on the exchange before, and after I learned the news, I took the initiative to find the door and had an in-depth exchange with him......

"They told me that their goods were all first-class goods, and they also gave me samples as gifts, and I saw that the other party looked kind and sincere, and their samples were really good, and the price was real, so I quickly signed a contract with the other party......
