In fact, the largest British Concession in Shanghai, together with the French Concession and the smallest American Concession, has no more than 3,000 acres of land, and there are less than 300 foreign expatriates in the area, which is the concession at the beginning of 1853, which is small and sparsely populated, even with less than 100 compradors and hundreds of servants, its population is not more than 1,000, and it is precisely because of this that the news here will always spread out at the first time.

"Hey, you say, what will the man do?"

Early in the morning, in a restaurant on the street, while eating breakfast, Xi Zhimo listened to what Bamian Tsai was talking about.

"Now, Su Songdao has released the wind, as long as its silk goods are out of bounds, they will be inspected, I heard that if it weren't for the lack of evidence, it is estimated that Su Songdao would have already attacked the surname Zhu......"

"It's not that there is no evidence!"

Shaking his head, Xi Zhimo smiled and said:

"It's that the guy surnamed Wu doesn't want to cause this trouble, you think it's true that Zhu Yifeng is in Shanghai County, but the goods are in the concession, if you rashly take him, will it cause any trouble? Our Wu Daotai, can you be shrewd......"

Eight-faced boy looked at Xi Zhimo, and still muttered:

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case ......"

He didn't say any more, Xi Zhimo also groaned, and said for a while:

"What if? If there is any case, it will depend on how Zhu Yifeng passes this level, in fact, I want to see how he can get through this level, if he can really get through this level......"

When the time comes, it would be good to visit him again and make friends!

After eating halfway, Bamian looked at the pocket watch and left, and Xi Zhimo was still sitting there, because he hadn't gone to work in Jardine for the time being, so he was also happy to be idle, and he was so carefree every day, occasionally coming to a drunken flower room.

As soon as he went upstairs, Liu Yixuan sat directly next to Xi Zhimo.

"Brother, what a coincidence! Is it waiting for someone, or is it alone? ”

"It's quite a coincidence, the old brother eats something, and the little brother does the east!"

"Brother, look at your kind ......"

said so, but Liu Yixuan had already eaten unceremoniously, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider, which made Xi Zhimo curious, did he just come to eat "rubbing rice"?

It's just a few minutes of effort, and when he almost finished eating, Liu Yixuan looked at Xi Zhimo and smiled.

"I heard that my brother hasn't gone to Jardine yet, and he is basically idle here?"

"That's right! I have to wait for the Spring Festival. ”

Nodding, Xi Zhimo looked at Liu Yixuan, waiting for his words, and now he had almost guessed that the other party was not here to "rub rice", but had something to discuss.

"In that case, I don't know if my brother can do my brother a little favor!"

"Oh? What's busy? ”

In addition to Xi Zhimo's surprise, Liu Yixuan smiled.

"Help me go to Xiamen!"

Xiamen!

Isn't Xiamen one of the treaty ports agreed upon by the five trade ports?

looked at the other party in surprise, and only after confirming that the other party was not joking did Xi Zhimo speak.

"Dude, it's not that the younger brother doesn't want to help you with this, it's really ...... Without a customs ticket, I'm afraid this Pacific won't be able to leave the port at all! ”

"That's right!"

Nodding, Liu Yixuan stared at Xi Zhimo and smiled.

"That's why you and a friend are going on someone else's boat!"

"Huh? This ......"

This will be Xi Zhimo's turn to be curious, what does this Liu Yixuan mean? After thinking about it, Xi Zhimo didn't ask him what he wanted him to do in Xiamen, but asked rhetorically.

"Dude believe me?"

Xi Zhimo asked curiously, although he is not from Guangdong, after all, he has learned foreign languages under the Cantonese people.

"What's not to believe?"

Liu Yixuan had a smile on his face, in fact, he was also gambling in his heart, betting that Xi Zhimo did not have too deep contacts with those compradors from Guangdong, if the relationship was really so deep, how could he not integrate into the comprador circle of Guangzhou nationality, but mixed with these "miscellaneous businessmen" of himself.

"The question is not whether I believe you or not, but whether you believe me or not!"

Looking at Xi Zhimo in front of him, Zhu Yifeng's face was full of sincerity.

This is also a gamble, if someone is available, he will never be like this, but now except for the Xi Zhimo who has just arrived in Shanghai, there is almost no one to trust in Shanghai's comprador circle, and Fuzhou and other places outside Shanghai are his last choice.

"Believe in ......"

Xi Zhimo met Zhu Yifeng's gaze with a deep groan in his heart, trying to find the slightest falsehood on his face, but what he saw was a heartfelt sincerity. After a long silence, he burst out laughing, and finally stood up violently, clasping his fists in his hands.

"Since Mr. Zhu has handed over all his net worth to me, I am really ashamed of my trust in you if I am so pretentious!"

Everything that follows is naturally very simple, it is nothing more than Zhu Yifeng telling him his plans one by one, in fact, the plan is also simple, it is nothing more than setting his sights on places outside Shanghai.

“…… In short, Xiamen is just one of the options, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Hong Kong, these places, any place can be done, as long as there are people there who can eat our goods! ”

After pondering for a long time, putting down the teacup, Xi Zhimo said:

"Owner, I think it's best to choose Ningbo, which is the closest to Shanghai, and, if necessary, you can set off tonight, there will be a merchant ship to Ningbo tonight, but although it is now a five-port trade, but except for Guangdong, Shanghai and Hong Kong, no one can eat such a large amount of raw silk in one bite!"

Zhu Yifeng's brows shrugged, and Li Ziyuan was also a little puzzled.

Liu Yixuan explained with a smile:

"The owner, this is because Guangzhou is a trade port for many years, other ports are just newly opened, as for Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich in lake silk, here the foreign company is the main business of raw silk, naturally can absorb so much raw silk, as for several other ports, such as Xiamen, Fuzhou, are mainly tea, raw silk is only its sideline, it naturally can not attract such a number of raw silk."

"Hey, it seems that I can't ask for raw silk in the future......"

patted his head, now Zhu Yifeng finally knows why the arms dealers in later generations are reluctant to barter, this goods are easy to buy, but it is a little troublesome to make a move, this is the case in later generations, and it is not the case now.

"In this way, you can sell as much as you can in Ningbo, and the price...... Well, it can fluctuate up and down 500 yuan, and it can't exceed one percent at most! How, what do you guys think? ”

Xi Zhimo laughed and said:

"Yicheng is enough, although Ningbo is very close to Shanghai, but now the communication is inconvenient, and now they must not have that reaction, if Yicheng is made, it will definitely be no problem."

"It's okay to make Issei, but ......"

Shaking his head and thinking about it, Zhu Yifeng said with a solemn expression:

"Let's get this done as soon as possible, if I'm not bad, now this raw silk is just the first hand, and now we should come to the door to force the debt, if I can turn the tide before they do it, and sell this batch of raw silk, I can get through this hurdle; If I can't, he will not hesitate to take away the Zhu family's real estate...... Although Liang Wenzuo's methods are shameful, he is a businessman, and it is impossible for him to lose his capital casually who he does business with. What's more, I should let him take it away! ”

When Xi Zhimo and Liu Yixuan heard this, the smiles on their faces froze again, they knew that they could not pass this hurdle, but it was only a few days in front of them.

Looking at the change in the expressions of the two, Li Ziyuan smiled and bowed to Zhu Yifeng to the tunnel:

"Congratulations to the owner, now that there is a way, the matter will naturally be solved. The next step is to see how the owner will display his ambitions! ”

Zhu Yifeng laughed, his heart was bright, and the changes in the faces of the two made him immediately understand what Li Ziyuan meant.

Liu Yixuan thought about it, after all, now that he has a way, and he has Xi Zhimo to do this, he naturally laughed. As for what Xi Zhimo thinks is very simple, this is also an opportunity for him, compared to being a comprador of a foreign bank, he is more inclined to stand alone, and now is an opportunity.

Not everyone can have the opportunity to stand alone, but Zhu Yifeng gave him this opportunity, and just when a few people laughed, Xi Zhimo followed up and suggested.

"There is one more thing, I don't know whether to say it or not!"
