After Liu Yixuan and everyone finished dinner, walking on the road, the words of a few people at the table appeared in his mind, but Liu Yixuan, who has been a comprador for more than ten years, saw the "danger" and saw Zhu Yifeng's situation like walking on thin ice.

The reason why this group of subordinates crossed the ocean to China was to make a fortune, and now a Chinese who they look down on in their bones has easily smashed their "pride".

Thinking so in his heart, Liu Yixuan became more and more worried about that young man, although he had no contact with Zhu Yifeng, but now considering the before and after of this matter, thinking of his practice of having no business, and the courage to gamble with his family, he admired this Zhu Yifeng more and more.

Over the years, although he has been working in the foreign bank, but in his heart he has been disgusted with this kind of aiding and abusive days, every day it is not foreigners but Chinese who are abducted and abducted, watching those foreign devils use the so-called contract to make one by one extremely shrewd national businessmen lose their money, and at the same time, he is bored, but he often laments the arrogance of the countrymen, even if he is deceived, he only accuses the foreigners of treachery, never reflects on the reasons for failure, and will not take the initiative to learn the business rules of foreigners.

Just like this country, it has been defeated by foreigners again and again, and it can be said that it has never been done in China since ancient times, but the big officials in the court still close their eyes and do not want to see the changes in the world, and the same is true for the merchants, even if they suffer losses, they do not want to understand the rules of foreigners.

It is precisely because of this that thinking of Zhu Yifeng's move of first using the silver from others with empty gloves and white wolves, and then making contracts with foreigners and using the rules of foreigners to seek benefits, when he admired, he also had the heart of friendship, but more worried, he believed that whether it was Thompson or Bradley, who talked with Thompson in the office for two or three hours this morning, they would not swallow this breath, and they would definitely do everything possible to calculate Zhu Yifeng.

"What will they do?"

Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't even notice Liu Yixuan himself, but his footsteps involuntarily walked in another direction.

In the study, Zhu Yifeng held a teacup, stared at the Go in front of him, thought for a while, and took a step, and after that move was played, Li Ziyuan's brows were furrowed, and he spoke after a while.

"You are too aggressive in chess, so there is such a chess player!"

As soon as the chess pieces were messed up, Zhu Yifeng laughed, stood up and said:

"No, no, no, you're too warm, it's boring like this!"

It's really boring, although the game of Go is not very good, but he can be regarded as a master, he has practiced chess for a few years, and his chess style is influenced by modern Go competitions, so he naturally does not pay attention to any humble demeanor. Looking at Li Ziyuan, who seemed to be unhappy, Zhu Yifeng said with words:

"Losing is losing, life is like chess, chess is like a battlefield, since you are an opponent, if you don't be aggressive, how can you succeed?"

Zhu Yifeng's words surprised Li Ziyuan, who was silent for a moment, and then spoke:

"Owner, since we have returned to Shanghai now, and we will dispose of this batch of raw silk in a few days, do you say that if such a large batch of raw silk is listed, will the price be lowered?"

After taking a sip of tea casually, Zhu Yifeng nodded:

"It's not impossible, but have you read this newspaper?"

Zhu Yifeng pointed to the newspaper on the table, the newspaper was in English, Li Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed expression.

"I, I know these foreign codes there!"

Although he had only been in Shanghai for a day, after walking around the concession, Li Ziyuan had already discovered that Shanghai was different from other places, and more importantly, he realized that many things here had to deal with foreigners, so he naturally had the idea of learning foreign languages, but this thought was hidden in his heart.

"English, we all have to learn, now, if we Chinese want to improve, we must learn this English!"

After a second thought, Zhu Yifeng continued.

"This newspaper said that today, the silkworm plague in France is a little more serious than last year, Zilin, you may not know France, but France is the largest consumer of raw silk in Europe, and it is also the largest producer of raw silk in Europe.

Since the forties of the nineteenth century, the sericulture industry in France has encountered unprecedented problems: silkworm farmers collect mulberry leaves to raise silkworms, but when it is time to form cocoons, silkworms grow small spots like pepper noodles, and then they shrink and die in batches. What's worse is that this silkworm disease is contagious, and it has been a fuss for more than 20 years, and some scientists who are famous for studying insects at that time can only sigh at the silkworms. In the countryside of southern France, silkworm farmers dump dead silkworms in the ground, making life a problem. The government could not buy silk and lost more than 100 million francs a year.

"Oh, it seems that this foreign language must be learned!"

first sighed, and then Li Ziyuan said a little ashamed:

"The owner is thinking about business, but I can't come up with any ideas, I'm ashamed......"

Zhu Yifeng hurriedly interrupted him, looked at him and said.

"What Brother Zilin is good at is definitely not business, this kind of thing, you don't need Brother Zilin's big material......"

"The owner, in the next, in the next, can you not eat idle dinner......"

Staring at Li Ziyuan in front of him, Zhu Yifeng smiled.

"Idle dinner? How can it be? I don't know if Brother Zilin denies today's Su Song Taidao Wu Jianzhang! ”

Smiling slightly, Li Ziyuan met the owner's gaze and said:

"I don't know him now, don't worry, as long as the owner is willing to come out, I will get to know this Su Song Taidao Wu Jianzhang tonight, what kind of imitation?"

The owner's words made Li Ziyuan's heart suddenly realize that he wanted to use himself to deal with those officials, and he thought about it, this has been from ancient times to the present, isn't it all the collusion between officials and businessmen, this matter is easy to do.

Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Zhu Yifeng smiled and said:

"This Su Songtai Dao, we have to get to know each other, after all, let's say we are going to Hong Kong, but someone who is interested guesses, can we go there in ten days? If those sailors leak the news again, it will be difficult to do it then! There are some things that we have to take care of in advance, so that you can take 5,000 taels of silver today and burn this incense stick......"

At this moment, Zhu Fucai walked in and preached.

"Young master, comprador Liu from the American Foreign Bank asks to see you!"

Liu comprador?

The appearance of a man in his forties who followed Thompson came to mind, although he was a little puzzled, Zhu Yifeng instructed Zhu Fucai.

"Tell him to come in."

After a few moments, a man in his forties dressed in Western style walked in.

"Dude."

Although the dress is Western-style, it is Chinese, although the other party's enthusiasm made Zhu Yifeng feel a little surprised, but he quickly responded enthusiastically.

"Brother Liu, long time no see!"

While greeting, Li pointed to the chair next to him and said.

"Brother Liu, please sit down, rich and rich, serve tea."

After Liu Yixuan sat down, he took the opportunity to look at Zhu Yifeng, it was really different from the past, especially between the eyebrows, the last time I saw him, this person didn't have a trace of the city government at all, and he treated people with a cold face, completely like a spoiled rich son, and now the smile on his face is very kind, but Liu Yixuan, who is used to business, knows that behind this smile, I don't know what kind of thoughts are hidden.

"Brother, I heard that you have come back from Hong Kong, and I want to come this time smoothly, otherwise it will only take ten days?"

Liu Yixuan's words made Zhu Yifeng silent for a moment, and then said.

"Well, this time the little brother didn't go to Hong Kong."

"Didn't go to Hong Kong?"

Zhu Yifeng's answer made Liu Yixuan stunned for a moment, and then nodded lightly.

"Could it be that my brother went somewhere else? There are rumors outside here that you went all the way north along the Yangtze River......"

This time, Zhu Yifeng didn't answer his question, just at this moment, Fucai brought the teapot up, and after he poured the tea, Zhu Yifeng picked up the teacup and took the opportunity to change the topic.

"Brother Liu, please use tea!"

The tea was in his mouth, but Liu Yixuan's heart was considerate, obviously, the person in front of him was wary of him, no wonder, after all, he was working for Thompson.

When the two of them each picked up the teacup and drank tea, the hall fell into silence, and only a slight crisp sound could be heard when the lid of the cup touched the body of the cup, and when the room fell silent, Xu Lingyun, who was hiding behind the curtain next door, became curious about the visit of this comprador Liu.

"Why is this person here? Could it be that Thompson wants to regret it? No, it doesn't matter if he regrets it, don't say anything about it in black and white, now things can be in his own warehouse? ”

"Brother Yifeng."

After a long silence, Liu Yixuan took the initiative to break the silence, put the teacup on the table, he looked at Zhu Yifeng and said:

"Now that everything is going well on this trip, I wonder what to do next?"

"Plans, I haven't thought about it that much yet."

Zhu Yifeng shook his head and said half-truthfully.

"Brother, have you ever thought about ......"

After a pause, Liu Yixuan met Zhu Yifeng's gaze and said:

"Now the whole of Shanghai, there are rumors of the rebellion in Wuchang, this war together, the pickles in the past will naturally follow the gold, you are five or six times the profit, who can not be red-eyed, Thompson may admit it, but how can they give up? Perhaps, now they're trying to get revenge on you! ”
