Wang Yongan smiled slightly and said: "It is said that Germany is the most honest country in Europe, and the German nation is actually the most honest nation. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The German fat man was very comfortable with this sycophant, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, we Germans are the most honest, and the whole of Europe knows this." ”
"But......" Wang Yongan said, pointing to the sewing machine, "but you are selling the hand-cranked sewing machine produced twenty-eight years ago as a new machine to Chinese, and I am afraid that even the consul of your country in the S Sea will not support this act, right?" ”
The German fat man was suddenly frightened and sweating profusely, if Wang Yongan poked this matter out, his reputation would be ruined, his reputation would be ruined, and the reputation of the Germans would be ruined, and he would be a national sinner. He thought for a moment and said, "Look at what you said, this is just a scrapped sewing machine, and we are going to dispose of it." ”
"It just so happens that I want to buy these scrap iron, I don't know what the price of your scrap iron is?" Wang Yongan answered.
The German fat man galloped past with 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart, and finally held back his anger and said: "Ten oceans and one ......"
"No, no, no, if you calculate according to the price of scrap iron, one of the four oceans is more suitable."
"What?" The German fat man said angrily, "No way! ”
"You should know that the reputation of the German Rite and Foreign Company is much more important than a few oceans."
"We're not going to lose money."
"But it is you, not the Chinese, who are shoddy."
"You're blackmailing."
"I'm bargaining."
……
In the end, under Wang Yongan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the 100 hand-cranked sewing machines were finally sold at the price of 500 yuan, and after signing the contract, Wang Yongan immediately bought some pistols for self-defense.
Because of the purchase of guns, the German fat man did not embarrass him, but he deliberately took out the Mauser pistol at the most expensive price, Wang Yongan once again carried forward his ability to bargain, and finally said that the German fat man sold him twenty Mauser pistols at the price of 100 yuan a hawk.
Wang Yongan did not bring so much money with him, but brought a Jin merchant silver ticket, which was equivalent to an official bank check, after inspection, it was determined that Wang Yongan's 5,000 taels of silver was indeed a real ticket, so he exchanged 7,142 yuan for Mexico Yingyang, and then Wang Yongan handed over 2,500 Yingyang to Lihe Foreign Bank, and both sides were very satisfied with the completion of the transaction.
Wang Yongan handed two pistols to Li Yao and Gong Wuyuan like an upstart, and pinned two more to himself, and it was simply ...... when he walked Dropped your pants......
Wang Yongan hurriedly bought another 20 armed belts, fortunately it is April, and the windbreaker outside can cover them after wearing the armed belts, otherwise these three people will have to be regarded as a chaotic party when they walk on the street. Li Yao only felt that his whole body was in a panic, so he returned the gun to Wang Yongan, and said with a smile: "Fourth young master, we are not a golden fire life, let's not touch this and pull it down, this thing is a murderous thing, we can't afford to enjoy it." ”
Wang Yongan was impressed by this Li Yao, but he didn't expect this person to be self-aware.
"Otherwise, you will reward me with two hundred taels of silver, I heard that the kiln sister of S Hai is a charming ......"
Wang Yongan patted his head, and said in his heart that your uncle, just had a good impression of you, and it all collapsed.
"Get out!"
Lihe foreign company is good, the service is in place, and the sewing machine and pistol are directly sent to the residence pavilion, but a lot of goods are occupied. When Boss Huang of the Residence Pavilion saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "Young Master Wang, Young Master Wang, Nong's things occupy a place, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Wang Yongan said: "Boss Huang, we plan to send these machines away today, and we don't know where to hire the boats." ”
"Oh." When Boss Huang heard this, it turned out that the people would leave today, but they didn't delay his business too much, so he pointed out.
Nowadays, there are many shipping companies in the S Sea, the most famous is Sheng Xuan Huai Shengda's steamship China Merchants Bureau, but the largest is the Mitsui Shipping Company of the East, which now sails on the Yangtze River, Mitsui Shipping's steamships account for one-third, Europe and the United States account for one-third, and Chinese shipping companies account for the other one-third.
Boss Huang introduced: "If you want to say cheap, of course, the shipping company of the dock boss is cheap, but it is not safe, the water bandits and water thieves jump up, and your goods will be gone." If you want to talk about safety, or the safety of Oriental ships, Oriental sailors and sailors all carry guns when they sail in China, and when they encounter water bandits, ship thieves or shipowners, they don't ask a shot. The government doesn't care if these bandits are still boatmen, after all, the Orientals still help to suppress the bandits. However, when it comes to shipping speed, it is the fastest British ship, but the freight price of British ships is also expensive. ”
Although Wang Yongan still had money on him, he wanted to use it to buy stocks, so he decided to hire a domestic shipping company, and the three of them only needed to bring enough pistols and bullets.
Seeing that Young Master Wang wanted money and didn't want to die, Boss Huang didn't say anything, this person was indeed stingy, but his mind was not bad, so he introduced him to a shipping company with a good reputation. This is called Jiahang's shipping company is opened by a veteran of the Green Gang, although it is a ship of the Green Gang, but doing business is about credibility, and it will never hit the employer's idea. In these years, people who do business are not interested in cheating, especially those in the Green Gang, who attach more importance to their reputation.
Then Wang Yongan took Li Yao and Gong Wuyuan with pistols, loaded with bullets, and transported the goods to the door of Jiahang Shipping Company. Jiahang's people immediately came out to pick up the goods, calculated the time, it would take five days before the ship returned, Wang Yongan rented a warehouse of Jiahang Company for five days, and transported all the sewing machines and other goods into it.
The manager of the shipping company was the leader of the Green Gang, and told Wang Yongan the price, a small steamer from S Sea to Yangzhou, five people on board, need to go for three days, and charge you 160 taels of silver is only a little.
"You are the younger brother of the commander of Yangzhou City Defense, according to reason, we should buy face, after all, we really want to see each other in the future, but recently we are short of money, next time if you ask us for help, we will lose money to help you." The manager sighed.
Wang Yongan touched his chin and asked, "Did something happen to your company?" Can you say that you are in the following? ”
"Alas...... It's not a big deal, it's our company's funding problem, don't mention it, don't mention it. The manager said.
After leaving the shipping company, Wang Yongan and the others returned to Boss Huang's Residence Pavilion Inn to continue to stay overnight, and there were two wooden boxes with pistols and bullets under his bed, but these things did not dare to be stored in the warehouse, so as not to be plundered by the people of the Green Gang and suffer a dumb loss.
