Chapter 53: Distinct Species

The weather in July is the hottest time in the Northern Hemisphere, and the blazing sun lines are particularly dazzling, and only when they come late, they appear softer.

The streets of Shanghai also have various problems with the bustle, and sanitation is one of them. The crude but highly sought-after popsicle wrap is flying around, and a fat and curly-haired Western woman is printed on it, indicating that this is an authentic Western product.

A dazzling railway track lies flat in the middle of Shanghai Street, which is an intra-city rail shuttle run by foreigners. Occasionally, it is a new thing called a bicycle, and it must be a foreigner's thing.

Foreigners, foreigners, or foreigners, except for people, almost all of the streets are foreigners' things. Yang Shuai walked on the street step by step, and he couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart.

"Being served is only the first step, and we must drive these Western goods out of China."

Yang Shuai couldn't help but clench his fists and said, and Yang Hua behind him didn't hear it very clearly: "Young master, what did you say?" ”

"Oh, it's fine. Yang Hua, tell Wang Shengsheng that he wants him to publish a recruitment advertisement on the "Hua Bao", and he will be established by the service chief, and no one can do it. ”

Yang Hua nodded and said: "Young master, although I don't understand, but I also know that if the factory is to be built, it is not only necessary to need people, first of all, we don't have any equipment first, and we will recruit people now, isn't it a bit early." ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Yang Hua, some things in this world are like this, there is no need to say it explicitly when we do something, but it can be analyzed through related things." Just like now, Shanghai Tang is afraid that everyone is now wondering who bought such a large piece of land in Pudong and what it was for. At this time, we advertised for jobs, and everyone in the world knew what we were going to do. ”

"Advertising, not only advertising, but also a message to foreigners, in a few days, they will definitely take the initiative to come to the door, to sell our machine, do you believe it or not?"

Yang Hua shook his head: "Young Master, I don't think as much as you think, I'd better be my guard." Zhang Qun and Li Ping also shook their heads and laughed when they saw Yang Hua like this in the back.

Yang Shuai looked at the three of them and sighed infinitely, the real heroes, where did they come from so many curves, these few are the real heroes.

Raising his legs, Yang Shuai felt that it was not a problem for him to walk like this all the time, although he was still lamenting the rampant foreign goods just now, but at this time he said: "I need to buy a car." ”

Then he said: "Yang Hua, Liu Wu and Ma Han's martial arts hall has been erected, tell them, and say that within seven days, personnel will be arranged to be trained one after another." After the construction of the service yard is completed, we must have our own protective power. Zhang Qun, Li Ping, you two are responsible, go to Nanjing, Shanghai, recruit 200 young people, in the future, we will be the security guards of the service field. ”

The militia group, the business group, this is a plan in Yang Shuai's heart. Yang Shuai has the selfish intention of hiding soldiers, and he has a different view of this "soldier" from others. Perhaps in the eyes of most people nowadays, as long as a soldier has a gun and a cannon, he is a soldier. Yang Shuai wanted to send these people to let Liu Wu and other Jianghu experts train for a while, strengthen hand-to-hand combat, and then take a gun.

Not for anything else, just because Yang Shuai always heard a sentence in his previous life, saying that the Japanese are one soldier, the top **** soldier.

Yang Shuai may not have imagined it, because of his regulations, almost everyone in the Chinese soldiers after him is a special soldier.

Rather lack than excess, this is Yang Shuai's consistent principle.

It's good to have money in your hands, you don't have to do everything yourself, don't say anything, and others are still trying to make it up. Sure enough, after the "Chinese Daily" published a recruitment advertisement for the quilt field, the first batch of recruits was indeed Western businessmen.

These businessmen came to the door for two purposes, one was to test whether Yang Shuai's factory would threaten their interests. You must know that the foreigners now occupy a lot of business in the Yangtze River valley, wantonly squeezing the hard-earned money of the Chinese. When they heard that Yang Shuai was just opening a quilt field, foreigners were not so concerned.

The other, of course, is for the machine problem, Yang Shuai expected, it must be right, these foreigners, different countries, have recommended their own sewing machines, looms, how powerful.

Maybe in the future, a small thing like a sewing machine will not be something that costs a thousand or hundreds of dollars. However, in the early years of the Republic of China, China did not even have tens of thousands of tons of steel, and there was almost no industry, not to mention sewing machines, even iron nails were called foreign nails, so you can imagine what China's industrial and commercial shrinkage became at that time.

Before the service field was completed, Yang Shuai had already divided his shares to the German ambassador Delhi. Although Delhi said that he had a 10% stake, it was stated in the agreement that Delhi did not have any right to interfere with the operation of the service field, and to put it bluntly, he was just a backer. Plus Delhi itself is not a professional businessman, so all this has nothing to do with Delhi. Yang Shuai also saved himself the trouble of having to use German goods.

John, this may just be a nickname or something, but the whole Shanghainese know John by John.

John is an authentic Englishman, with a little pride under the aura of a great country, a thin figure with two upturned beards, divided into two neat two, and it looks golden under the nose.

Yang Shuai is a German student, and he has long been accustomed to the golden beard and hair, and he knows at a glance that this person is a cunning British businessman.

"Your friend, who is also my friend, our mutual good friend Mr. Li Pingshu introduced me, Mr. Yang, my name is John, the general agent of the British Empire Ocean Merchant Company in Shanghai, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Yang Shuai was surprised by the man's fluency in Chinese, even with a slight Shanghainese accent. But John had a strong doubt in his heart, is this this person, why is he so young, is it him, does he have so much money.

"Hehe, Mr. John, your Chinese is good."

"Ha Lu Ha, you Chinese have a saying called entering the countryside and following customs, and I am also just following the customs of the country, Ha Lu Haha, I am very happy to meet you."

Yang Shuai was surprised here, this foreigner cow, the idioms are used so easily, it seems that he is really a Chinese expert.

Pretending to be cute and stupid, whoever says first will suffer a loss, this is the unchanging principle in the business field. Yang Shuai deliberately pretended not to know, and said, "Mr. John, I don't know what you have to do when Lu Dao is here today?" ”

I thought that John was going to make a snort, but John opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Yang, I specially represent the ocean trading house, to recommend to Mr. Yang the machine of the British Empire, whether Mr. Yang wants a sewing machine, or a loom, a spinning machine, a water machine, a dyeing machine and so on all the machines about clothing, my British Empire machines are the best, the service is also the most in place, we even provide a month of free technical support, including the training of Mr. Yang's employees, this is our information, please Mr. Yang to see." ”

Yang Shuai was stunned, this, suddenly, Yang Shuai felt that the reason why people are powerful is that in addition to the iron ship and iron cannon, there seems to be something else in it, look at the sales staff of others.

Yang Shuai has always had an understanding in his heart that business and national fortunes are inseparable. But for business, there should be no enemies. Just a minute ago, Yang Shuai still had a natural sense of rejection towards these powers in his heart, at this moment. Yang Shuai had a decision and a goal in mind.

Commercially, he wants to beat foreigners with dignity.

Not much business is completed at the first meeting, what Yang Shuai needs is comparison, what he needs is the competition of sellers, and then he can win the maximum benefit.

"Mr. John, what I want to build in Pudong this time, and even in my hometown, is not a small factory, but a big enterprise. Machines, I need many, many more, the price, even up to two million, I need to think carefully, I hope you can understand. After flipping through two pages of John's information, Yang Shuai put down the information and said.

John's calmness was so frightened by the number that Yang Shuai said that he ran back to the UK, and he stood up with excitement and his face was flushed. Over there, Yang Hua was shocked, and hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted, "What are you doing?" "I thought John was bad to Yang Shuai.

A flash of light flashed in John's excited eyes and glanced at Yang Hua, and Yang Shuai waved his hand. John didn't say anything about Yang Hua, but said excitedly: "Two million? ”

This look completely betrayed John's previous composure, as if the business of two million was really in his pocket.

Yang Shuai nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. John thinks it's necessary for me to lie?" ”

John hurriedly waved his hand, this is not the time to offend Yang Shuai, not to mention offending, even a little bit of things that make Yang Shuai unhappy he is unwilling to do.

"No, no, Mr. Yang, I didn't mean that." After the excitement, John did not lose his mind, and the businessman's sense of smell is very sensitive.

Looking at John's gradually puzzled eyes, Yang Shuai smiled in his heart, I want to see how long you endure before asking.

Sure enough, in the end, John still couldn't bear it, after all, if he wanted to do business, he needed more information.

"Mr. Yang, with all due respect, as far as I know, Mr. Yang wants to open a quilt field. I am afraid that the machine needed for this is far from two million, I wonder if Mr. Lu Daoyang has any other purchases? ”

Looking at the shrewd but not cautious John, Yang Shuai felt a sense of pleasure in his heart that made the British deflated. "I need a thousand sewing machines and responsive equipment, and I need two bicycle production lines," he said. ”

John's eyes closed, and he silently calculated in his heart, a thousand equipped in China is less than a million, it seems that this Yang Shuai needs the production line of bicycles is the big head. It is important to know that the machine can be exported now, but the equipment like the production line is very strict, and it is absolutely impossible without a certain relationship.

500,000 sets, 500,000 ah, plus the profits of the quilt field, John was shocked to find that he even had a profit of 400,000 to 600,000, which was too tempting.

But the bicycle production line, that is all meticulous industrial machine tools, the Chinese themselves now can not even produce chains, if they have their own production line, then will it cause harm to our industry in the future.

However, 500,000 ah - Yang Shuai was quiet, smiling and drinking tea, as if he saw the entanglement in John's heart. John was entangled, but Yang Shuai understood better than anyone else that the production line, yes, Yang Shuai must have his own production line. With his own production line of machine tools, Yang Shuai doesn't just want to produce bicycles.

Yang Shuai thought with a chill in his heart, don't underestimate the Chinese's ability to imitate.

John left, and he was also disappointed that he walked fast, because as soon as Yang Shuai turned around, he ushered in a Japanese, Inukai, who was naturally a Japanese comprador with the same purpose as John.

Yang Shuai did not show his dislike for the Japanese Inukai, but on the contrary, Yang Shuai also showed elatedness.

Inuyoi is less than 1.6 meters tall, and the Chinese women look much taller than him, but they have two contemptuous eyes and a raised neck. When talking to Yang Shuai, although he bowed deeply, when he looked up, he looked as if Yang Shuai was their family's slave.

"Yang Sang, your attitude makes me very satisfied, the Great Japanese Empire likes Chinese like you very much."

Giggle - Yang Shuai obviously felt the sound of bones pressing behind him, Yang Shuai smiled in his heart, it must be Yang Hua and the others who were so angry that they were about to clench their fists.

Be a smiling tiger, don't be a stunned green. Yang Shuai thought in his heart, and smiled on his face: "Yes, yes, Japan, is our friend, Chinese, Japanese, should have friendly exchanges." ”

"Yang Sang, my intelligence from the Great Japanese Empire tells me that you want to build a quilt yard in Pudong, very good, the Great Japanese Empire wants to support you, and specially sent you the best equipment in the world, a complete set of sewing machine-based equipment, only 30,000 yen, that is, a set of 1,500 Chinese yuan, you are satisfied."

A condescending posture seems to let Yang Shuai buy his things, but it has become a favor from the Japanese.

A set of equipment, mainly sewing machines, but not only includes sewing machines, but also three spare heads, needles and threads, etc., it can almost be said that a set of equipment and his parts can be used for 20 years, and the complete set of equipment does not need follow-up services, and can be done by yourself.

One thousand and five, the Englishman who lost your mother is only a thousand dollars. Looking at the appearance of the nose of the dog raising well on the eyes, Yang Shuai could hardly control the action in his heart.

Can't, can't, hold on, hold on, hold back, can't help it.

With a bang, if it weren't for the good quality of the table, I was afraid that it would be broken up by Yang Shuai. Yang Hua couldn't help it for a long time, and quickly jumped forward at this time, staring at the dog well.

The sudden violent sound startled the dog Yokai. Just as he was about to angrily express the dissatisfaction of the Japanese Empire, he saw Yang Hua's blood-red eyes, and Yang Shuai's eyes behind him were as cold as death.

Inuyangjing squirted out with saliva and forcibly put it back, a little afraid: "Yang Sang, what are you doing?" ”

Can't, can't, Yang Shuai kept saying to himself, you can't move the Japanese now, you must not move the Japanese in your own home.

As soon as he turned around and went upstairs with a bang, Yang Shuai was afraid that he couldn't help it. At the same time, he said loudly: "Yang Hua, drive the dog." ”

Dog chase? The dog was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, but Yang Hua unceremoniously picked it up with one hand and walked out, people who didn't know how to do it thought that Yang Hua was carrying a monkey, especially the little feet that kicked in the air.

"Bage, how dare you do this-"

"Bang-" The sound of something falling to the ground.
