393 traps
"Yo yo yo, what's going on?"
Just as Meng Fei and Tom were fooled into a stalemate, a person who suddenly appeared at the scene made Meng Fei feel that he was being calculated.
"Mr. Ma, you came just in time, you can help us evaluate the evaluation and see if what I did is reasonable."
Ma Yufei, the guy who had a conflict with Meng Fei and them before and let go of his cruel words, was pulled in front of Tom when he appeared in the dock area where Meng Fei and them were at this time, and began to narrate the ins and outs of the matter.
“…… Most of the goods they sold to our firm smelled of dampness, and the wooden boxes and straw in which the porcelain was packed were already mildewy, and I needed to send someone to repack and sort them out; Goods such as tea and silk are not greatly affected by moisture, but for safety reasons, we need to dispose of them......"
“…… The condition of these goods is not close to what they told me before, so it is reasonable for me to discount the total price in accordance with the relevant terms of the contract I signed before? ”
In fact, the current attitude of this Westerner finally fell into the eyes of Meng Fei and them, which has long been another meaning. Ma Yufei happened to appear here so coincidentally, if the other party didn't do it on purpose, Meng Fei himself didn't believe it.
"You fart, we are doing business between the two of them, and we are talking about the word integrity, and we have told you all the details truthfully when introducing the goods. And you yourself also expressed your understanding and agreed to accept our shipment. ”
"But now you suddenly regret it, saying that we have not fulfilled our obligation to inform, this is a bloody squirt!"
"Except for the damp porcelain, we did not reassemble it, and we carefully checked other silks, spices and teas, and there were no quality problems!"
The two sides insisted on their own words, and soon attracted many businessmen to come and watch, and asked each other about the origins.
"Hehe, I said that the shopkeeper, you also ask the good students to take a look at the contract you signed, about the false information of the goods, etc., what kind of compensation you need to pay in the end."
"There are so many autographs and drawings on it, Mr. Tom is a knight of the Kingdom of Spain, and it is reasonable and legal to act according to the contract, do you want to play tricks on it?"
After pretending to listen to Tom's narration and picking up one of the original contracts that Tom had kept and taking a look, Ma Yufei seemed to have a sincere persuasive tone and said his opinion loudly in front of the onlookers.
"Hmph, you're all right!"
"Last time, you wanted to buy our goods at a low price, but we didn't agree, but I didn't expect you to join forces with Westerners to set up a set today, it's really despicable!"
Bi Yong couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart, and tried to debunk the two-person rotation of Ma Yufei and Tom, but the onlookers looked at the porcelain wooden box that was opened, and there were some damp and moldy wrapped straws inside, but everyone believed Tom, a foreigner, and Ma Yufei's words even more.
"We Spaniards pay attention to the spirit of contract when doing business, since we signed the contract before, then we will do things according to the contract, okay?"
Tom continued to exert pressure with a blank face, as if he must let Meng Fei and them submit to this moment.
The rest of the people who ate melons began to speak, and persuaded Meng Fei and them in a tone that they thought they knew the situation.
"You have done something wrong yourself, then admit it, there is no need to make a big fuss, right?"
"Anyway, you have to make money, remember to eat a trench and grow wise in the future, don't play those slick and slippery cleverness."
"That's it!"
Meng Fei's face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy looking at Ma Yufei who was smiling on the side, and there was always a fierce aura that was about to eat the other party.
He admitted that he still underestimated Ma Yufei and his people, and thought that the other party had been secretly exerting pressure to force other merchants not to accept their goods, which was already the best thing he could do. But he didn't think about it, it turned out that everything Ma Yufei did before was just paralyzing himself, and his real killing move was Tom, a Westerner who Meng Fei thought was no problem.
"Otherwise, let's find a government theory, right?"
Ma Yufei also made a suggestion to Meng Fei in a crying manner, but in fact, he was reminding the other party that he really relied on: "It just so happens that my sister-in-law works in the Bureau of Commerce and is responsible for managing trade matters, and he will give this matter a fair and conclusive conclusion." ”
“…………”
Meng Fei didn't speak for a long time, making others think that he had been shaken, and even Ma Yufei had a bit of a treacherous smile on his face.
In the crowd, many maritime businessmen who were familiar with Ma Yufei's character did not fall into the trap of the designed Meng Fei like other predecessors, but they did not stand up to defend them.
"This group of maritime merchants is probably new, and they were targeted by Ma Yufei, I'm afraid they will have to suffer some hardships this time!"
"Who's to say it isn't!"
"I almost fell into such a trap before, the Westerner who stood with Ma Yufei, although he was a knight of the Spanish Kingdom, but their family had long since declined, otherwise they would not have come to our Luzon to beg for a living!"
"This Ma Yufei relies on his relationship with the Hong Dynasty government, and has killed many new merchants in the past few years, and sooner or later he will be punished!"
"Yes!"
Although many businessmen knew what was happening in front of them, they did not think of standing up and upholding justice, and with the mentality that more things are better than less, although they sympathized with Meng Fei and them, they only watched everything that happened coldly.
Meng Fei's mind was blank, and he kept thinking about how to deal with what was happening in front of him, and finally his thinking was fixed on the words that Qiao Dangjia told him when he parted with Qiao's family.
"If there is something that you can't solve by yourself, then find the Hong Dynasty government, they will make decisions for you!"
Thinking of this, although he knew that Ma Yufei, who had the intention of framing him, had an official background behind him, but thinking that he was not familiar with life now, and that his former benefactor Qiao was in charge of broadcasting, Meng Fei was heartbroken, and directly said two words: "Report to the official!" ”
"What?"
Ma Yufei had a smile on his face, then returned to normal, and asked as if reminding: "Are you sure, do you really want to report to the official?" ”
"You know, if you report to the official, then they will do things in full accordance with the contract, and if you want to regret it, it will be impossible!"
"Then I'll admit it!"
Meng Fei raised his head and said firmly.
"Good!"
Not only did Ma Yufei agree, but there were also people in the crowd who affirmed Meng Fei's wise choice.
