Section 87 China's Proxy [II]

"Do you think he's the right person to be in charge of the company's business in China, Rachel?"

"I'm not sure, easy water. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This man you have found has never done business worth more than five thousand Mexican pesos, and I doubt his ability. ”

"It's five thousand taels of silver, not Mexican silver coins." Easy water corrected to. But Rachel still doesn't know what the word "two" means. "It's a unit of weight." He had to explain again.

Even so, she was puzzled - in Rachel's mind, the units of weight were "ounces" and "pounds." She is an American, familiar only with imperial units, and not even "grams" and "kilograms" very well. "How many ounces is a tael...... Or how many pounds? ”

Her problems have gone beyond the ability of Yi Shui. "This ......," he scratched his head, "or rather, a Mexican dollar weighs about seventy-two percent of a tael." ”

Now that the problem is simpler, Rachel did a simple calculation. "Less than seven thousand Mexican pesos. Yi Shui, he's only done a small business," she spread her hands, "and he's bankrupt!" ”

"But he has connections in Beijing, and he also claims to know Admiral Jiumen." Yi Shui bluntly translated "Admiral of the Nine Gates" directly into English, but she couldn't understand it again. "What did you say?"

"Uh......" Yi Shui thought for a moment, "What is the position of a general in charge of the security of a country called?" ”

"You mean the commander of the garrison of the capital?" Rachel wasn't so sure. In her opinion, China's official position is too strange to be associated with that of Western countries.

However, Yi Shui thinks she is right. "That's right, it's the commander of the capital garrison."

"But that's just his own claim, and we don't know if he's telling the truth."

"What does it matter, Rachel? The biggest problem we face now is that we can't find a suitable agent to do business in China, so why not give Wang Zhen a try? Yi Shui said, "If it was Qin Lang, he would definitely agree to my suggestion." ”

"Whether it's you or me, we're all different from Qin Lang, he's a monster." Rachel sighed, "But you're right, Wang Zhen is our only choice at the moment, and I can only let him take on that important task." But," she thought for a moment, "I'm going to add an extra layer of insurance." ”

She called the secretary into the office. "Miss Rose, please send Easter. Hartman called to my office. ”

……

In the conference room of the Great Viper Weapons Company, Wang Zhen was waiting for news -- he kept going back and forth in circles around the room, round and round. Like many young people who apply for a job for the first time, he is now nervous and excited, expectant and worried, and his mood is completely calm.

Unlike the average candidate, he has a heavier element of worry in his mood. Yi Shui had already told him that if Rachel was not happy with him, he would be sent to the Nevada desert to build a base like everyone else. Although he didn't know what Nevada was, Wang Zhen knew what the desert was, and he didn't want to be sent to that kind of place to suffer.

However, the final decision is in the hands of the beautiful "Miss Rui", and at such times, there is only one thing he can do: pray.

"God forbid, God forbid, God forbid......" When Wang Zhen repeated it to the thousandth time, the door opened, and Rachel and Yi Shui walked in.

"We've made a decision," Mr. Yi began by saying, "and Rachel has agreed to appoint you to hire you and put you in charge of business in China." Hear me out! He stopped Wang Zhen's attempt to interject, "But there are two things I must explain, first, the company will also appoint a senior commercial representative, and the business will be jointly responsible for you, and second, if you mess up the business, the boss will be happy to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks." ”

He could swear that according to Qin Lang and Rachel's personalities, they would definitely do that.

Wang Zhen's face turned pale, which was news he didn't expect. "I can assure you, Miss Rui, that I won't mess things up."

"It's Miss McBride, not Miss Ray." Yi Shui seriously corrected Wang Zhen's mistakes. Then he exchanged a look with Rachel, and then she took out a contract and put it on the conference table - this was a contract she had specially drawn up for Wang Zhen, since he didn't know English at all, naturally, there was only a unilateral clause in favor of the company.

Although Yi Shui had raised doubts, he was completely incapable of convincing Rachel, and he had to guide Wang Zhen to sign the contract. "According to U.S. law, you have to sign this contract to officially accept employment with the company. This is it," he said, taking out a pen and pointing to the autograph, "sign your name on it." ”

Wang Zhen didn't make any moves. "Brother Yi," he asked in a somewhat embarrassed and whispered voice, "can I press my handprint?" ”

"Uh...... You can't even write your name? "Is it possible?" "Wang" and "Zhen" are not complicated, can't he even write it? And he's also a businessman......

"I don't use this pen."

That's a good reason. "Okay." Yi Shui sighed, signed his name on the contract instead of Wang Zhen, and then put it back in front of him. "Now all you have to do is press your mudra."

"Okay." Wang Zhen happily and quickly pressed his handprint on the contract, and Yi Shui handed it to Rachel to put away, and the matter was successfully completed. However, just as they were about to leave, Wang Zhen asked a little anxiously: "Brother Yi, when will I go back to China?" Tomorrow? Or is it the day after tomorrow? ”

Yi Shui stared at him with strange eyes for a while, maybe close to a minute, before replying, "We won't leave until June." Are you in a hurry to go back? ”

"I want to go back as soon as possible to settle accounts with the guy who lied to me, and if it's too late, he'll run out of money." But that's not the whole reason, there is another reason, "I only went back to China in June?" Brother Yi, don't I have to go to work immediately? Auspicious...... Miss Mak, she won't say anything, will she? ”

"It's Miss McBride, not Miss Mai, she's not named Mai." Yi Shui corrected Wang Zhen's mistake again before answering his question: "The company has arranged other things for you. Before returning to China, you must have a basic command of conversational English. There will be a dedicated teacher to guide you. ”

"Ahh Do you want me to learn Western? I'm going to learnβ€”"

"Don't worry, you can definitely learn, we have a way." Method; Of course, this is a well-known fact that there is always a way. Yi Shui turned around and strode out of the conference roomβ€”but he quickly returned to Wang Zhen, "Also, now you're an employee of the company." So in the company, don't call me Brother Yi. ”

He kept staring at Wang Zhen until he nodded his head to show that he fully understood, then turned around again and left the conference room in a hurry.

Yi Shui returns to Rachel's office. East. Hartmann, the insurance arranged by Rachel, a descendant of German immigrants, is still in the office. She was explaining the last precautions to him, Yi Shui added a few more points, and then waved him away.

"Now the salesman's matter has been settled." She breathed a clear sigh of relief, "Now there's one last thing left, the transport." ”

"Haven't found a suitable ship yet?" Yi Shui asked casually, seemingly unconcerned about the problem at all. Because it was inevitable -- Rachel's offer was so high that she demanded that the ship have a cruising speed of more than ten knots, that it could sail all the way to Tokyo after the Hawaiian resupply, and that in the end, it had to be cheap.

The last one was the worst, and she offered a rent of only five thousand dollars a month, a condition that no shipowner would accept.

She should raise the rent a bit......

"Don't worry, I've found a boat." "A standard displacement of 4,300 tons of passenger and cargo can carry 700 passengers and 1,600 tons of cargo," Rachel said. The only problem is that the owner is reluctant to lease and just wants to sell her to us. ”

"How much?"

"Four hundred thousand dollars."

"Let me guess, either the owner is crazy, or it's a rotten ship." Yi Shui said sarcastically. A passenger and cargo dual-purpose ship with a standard displacement of 4,300 tons sells for $400,000, how much difference is this from giving it away for nothing? There is no such thing as this in this world.

Rachel thinks so, too. "So I'm asking you to go to San Francisco once tomorrow to check for yourself the mental condition of the shipowner, and his ship."

"No problem," he said, "but what are we selling such a big ship for?" Even if arms are smuggled, there is no need to do so. ”

"Don't you want to learn to command warships? I think a big ship is more suitable than the 'Agile'. ”

"Is your purpose that simple, Rachel?" At least Yi Shui didn't believe that Rachel's purpose would be so simple. She and Qin Lang are the same type of people. "Tell me the real answer."

"You really want to know?" She laughed, "Since Qin Lang predicted that war between China and Japan was about to break out, I think the leaders of the Chinese government must not be satisfied with just buying a few rifles, they must be more interested in getting a cruiser." ”

"You're not going to buy a cruiser."

"Just put on the artillery." Rachel smugly, "If that ship is really worth buying, then buy her and convert it into a cruiser and sell it for a million dollars......"

"You're so despicable." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
