What will become here in a few decades?

Standing in a warehouse covering an area of no less than 20 acres, looking at the simple warehouse with brick and wooden walls, Zhu Yifeng admired more and more the "father" who had never met him, in this era of China, there are a few people who can have the vision to "forever rent" this warehouse at the beginning of the opening of the port in Shanghai, for decades, no, it only takes more than ten years, the land price here will skyrocket, and by that time, there are several Chinese who can "permanently rent" a piece of land of more than 20 acres in the concession.

If there was no "loser" before, if nothing else, just with this land, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat and drink all in this life!

But there is no point in mentioning this now, and the most important thing is that you must find a way to solve the problem of silver!

Almost as soon as the person jumped out of the carriage, Zhu Yifeng saw Liang Wenzuo and his party.

"Oh, nephew, you're finally here!"

Liang Wenzuo shouted in those words with a Cantonese accent, and walked over with a happy face.

Previously, when he received Zhu Yifeng's letter, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and invited himself to the warehouse to face the light, could it be that Zhu Yifeng had already thought about selling this warehouse to himself...... No, it's used to offset the amount owed.

Although it is an elder, sometimes it ...... Well, this villain still has to do it!

"Virtuous nephew, what kind of big deal can it be, although I am good friends with your father and can be regarded as the elder of the virtuous nephew, but the virtuous nephew's body is not at peace, if there is something, why not go directly to my home, in case you suffer from the wind and cold again......"

The other party's false concern made Zhu Yifeng just smile and look at him with a smile, and it was not until after his performance that he said.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Liang Shi, the little nephew is late."

At this time, for Zhu Yifeng, he didn't care about his door-to-door debt compulsion, business is business, if there was no door-to-door debt compulsion, how would he know that he had been peeping at this land for a long time? How can you get a sum of money out of him?

"Virtuous nephew, let Uncle Wei come here this time, I don't know why......"

Although the eyes are on Zhu Yifeng's body, but Liang Wenzuo's heart is on this land, perhaps, for many businessmen, the land in the British Concession is just a piece of land, but Liang Wenzuo, who has dealt with foreigners as early as the Thirteen Lines in Guangdong, is very aware of the future space of the appreciation of this land, seeing that the Thirteen Lines are not going to be day by day, and the Shanghai Concession is becoming more and more prosperous, and it has become inevitable to replace the Thirteen Lines here in the future. That is, since then, he started to buy property in the concession, but now this concession is a permanent lease for foreign businessmen, even if it is a new lease, the Chinese businessman lease is no longer like the original general permanent lease, in this concession, the Chinese businessman at the beginning of the opening of the port of permanent lease, but there are only a few pieces, but those pieces together, not as large as this place, good location, this is the land adjacent to the river!

"Uncle Liang Shi, after the previous catastrophe, the little nephew already knows that this business is by no means a business that everyone can engage in, so the little nephew has made up his mind, and from now on, he will study quietly, study the articles of the sages, and seek the way of the imperial examination in the future......"

Zhu Yifeng said half-truthfully, and his face was even more sincere.

"If the virtuous nephew can think like this, I will be relieved, and I think this is also Ling Zun's expectation!"

Liang Wenzuo smiled, but because of Zhu Yifeng's words, he had a thought, could it be that he was really ready to give up this land, what was he going to do? What price can you sell for 20 acres? Immediately in his mind, he remembered that two years earlier, the foreign merchant Endike had bought 1.913 acres of land from the trustee of the United States Missionary Society, the Supervisor of Grace and Integrity, and that the land was next to this warehouse, and that cost him a total of 10,000 taels, that is, at least 5,000 taels per mu.

"Indeed, I think my father also hopes that my little nephew will take the right path!"

With a long sigh, Zhu Yifeng's voice changed sharply.

"No, since the little nephew is no longer in business, this warehouse will naturally be sold to the outside. The little nephew knows that Uncle Shi has a good relationship with foreign businessmen in the world, so he wants to entrust Uncle Shi to sell this warehouse to foreign businessmen, which can be sold as a whole or divided into several plots of different sizes for sale, I don't know what Uncle Shi thinks? ”

Zhu Yifeng's words made Liang Wenzuo's hands stiffen, his eyes widened instantly, the muscles under his eyes twitched slightly, and he laughed again after a while.

"What the virtuous nephew said is extremely true, if it is sold like this, both large and small commercial houses can buy land......"

He said with a smile, but his heart turned up five flavors, how can this person become more shrewd after a catastrophe, because of the location, these twenty acres of land because of the good terrain and high price, the people who can afford it are extremely limited, but if it is divided, I don't know how far the price of this land will be pushed.

No way!

He must not be allowed to succeed!

"Virtuous nephew, there is a Cantonese restaurant not far from here, if the virtuous nephew is interested, I don't promise you and me to go there to talk about it!"

Because the earliest contact between Chinese and foreign merchants was Cantonese, and most of the translators of Shanghai Ocean Bank were Cantonese, in this concession, there were naturally Cantonese restaurants specializing in Cantonese business, and Liang Wenzuo was a frequent customer.

"Come on, come on, I have a seat here, just in the private room upstairs, today I want to talk to my nephew more and have two drinks."

"Thank you."

Zhu Yifeng arched his hand and looked at this Cantonese restaurant, although it was not a meal, but there were already many guests, all of them spoke Cantonese without exception, although they didn't know how to understand Cantonese, but he still heard that these people were talking about business without exception, if they guessed correctly, they should be the legendary compradors. Among the Taipan of the foreign firm, there is the business of the Taipan, and these compradors also have their own business.

If I really don't have a livelihood, maybe I will become one of them, but now...... Seeing that Liang Wenzuo, who was walking slightly ahead, was leading the way there, the corners of Zhu Yifeng's lips raised slightly.

Whether this matter can be done or not depends on whether it can be fooled!

A penny is difficult to beat a hero, although in the past, the Zhu family seemed to have a lot of business, but now even if Zhu Yifeng comes up with a few thousand taels of silver, it is extremely difficult, although through his familiarity with history, he got a batch of extremely cheap, and even possibly picked up weapons for nothing, but despite this, he still can't come up with the money to buy those weapons,

Now only the person in front of him can come up with this money!

"Virtuous nephew, you see, these people are all the same as me, but they are just compradors of foreigners, looking at the scenery, but in fact, they ......"

When he went up to the second floor, Liang Wenzuo whispered beside Zhu Yifeng.

"There are a few people who understand the bitterness in the meantime, you don't know, this comprador is to put it bluntly, he is an intermediary in the tooth industry, on the one hand, he wants to satisfy those foreign devils, on the other hand, he has to maintain a good relationship with the state-owned businessmen, if not...... Hey, look at me, what are you doing with this, virtuous nephew, since you have decided to take the right path of the imperial examination, this comprador line is to stay away......"

"This guy has a heart!"

Without thinking about it, Zhu Yifeng can guess why he said this, the reason why this person said this is nothing more than to tell him that it is not easy to be a comprador and that this industry is not easy to mix, so you should go through the imperial examination!

"Uncle Shi, in fact, the little nephew said that he wanted to take the right path, but this article is not possible in a short time, so the little nephew wants to donate to the official ......."

When he said this, Zhu Yifeng looked ashamed, but because half of the officials at this time were from the donation class, and Liang Wenzuo was a businessman rather than a literati, he naturally couldn't talk about looking down on people who donated as officials, but nodded in agreement.

"This can be a shortcut, it can be a shortcut, it can be a shortcut......"

Hearing him say that he wanted to go to the donation class, Liang Wenzuo immediately understood why he wanted to sell that piece of land, and now the Zhu family is only worth that piece of land, although it only costs more than 1,000 taels to donate a seven-grade official, but if you want to get rid of the fat shortage, I am afraid that at least more than 10,000 taels will be needed to take it out.

Silver!

The next thing is also simple, one side is sincere, the other side has a plan, the two chatted for more than half an hour, Liang Wenzuo slowly led the topic to the ground, and Zhu Yifeng took the initiative to cooperate with him

"Actually, if there is a slight opportunity, how can the little nephew sell the ancestral business, and not mention anything else, it is the money owed to Uncle Shi, which makes it difficult for the little nephew to sleep and eat!"

Although he seemed to be full of shame on the surface, Zhu Yifeng's heart was full of sneers, and he knew that Liang Wenzuo had taken the bait.

Liang Wenzuo hurriedly said.

"Alas, look at what my nephew said, I have been friends with Ling Zun for many years for my uncle, how can I force debts......"

At this time, Liang Wenzuo obviously forgot about going to the door to force debts, and it seemed that for him, this was just an old thing that could be reversed at any time.

"The reason why Uncle Wei came to the door at the beginning, in the final analysis, it was not so much for himself, but because of your second uncle, if you say something inappropriate, your second uncle is ......"

Then Liang Wenzuo completely put the responsibility on his second uncle, in his mouth, since Zhu Yifeng became seriously ill, the second uncle has tried to seize the belongings of the Zhu family's big house many times. True and false, false and true, after these words, Liang Wenzuo changed his words again.

"The past, let's not mention it for the time being, when I came to the door to force debts, it was not in every way, everything was wrong, it was all to blame Uncle Shi, since the virtuous nephew has recovered, there is no need to mention the old things, as for this debt, ......"

"As the saying goes, a person's debt is not extinguished, and this debt naturally has to be repaid!"

Zhu Yifeng's casual words made Liang Wenzuo smile awkwardly, but after many years of business, he had already practiced a cheeky skin that made him smile and say.

"Actually, I think that uncle's opinion, that piece of land, since Brother Mingtang left it to the virtuous nephew, the virtuous nephew can never be sold, but the virtuous nephew wants to seek a background, what ......is this money?"

Staring at Zhu Yifeng, Liang Wenzuo said slowly.

"Although Uncle Shi is just a comprador, he can be regarded as having a lot of family resources, if he is a good nephew, if he can trust Uncle Shi, he can temporarily turn over one or two from me, I don't know what the good nephew thinks? ……”
