Although Pidgin English is called "English", it is more deeply influenced by Chinese than by English, and it is subordinated to Chinese expression habits and word order, rather than the basic grammar of English. Anyway, foreigners can understand it with a little effort.
"It's different, it's different." Mr. Qin's lenses were white in the sunlight, and he asked again, "Is Mr. Qin's foreign writing fluent?" β
Naturally, there is no problem, Ah Fa hesitated, nodded, and said, "I am quite proficient in English." β
Mr. Qin was a little overjoyed, and showed a worried look again, and asked, "Where is that gentleman?" β
"Well, I haven't found a suitable job yet." Ah Fa's face was not red, and he replied calmly: "I'm a picky person, and I'm not in a hurry anyway." β
"Anyone who has the ability is like that." Mr. Qin paused and said tentatively, "That's right. There is a small shop in the next place, and so far, it has only been doing business in the country. But now, we want to do business with foreign countries. But we don't have a lot of talent like him, so I wonder if I can talk to him......
There were not many people in the teahouse, and the private room was very comfortable, Ah Fa drank dark green hot tea, ate spring rolls, listened to Mr. Qin describe the bright prospects, and couldn't help but look out the window thoughtfully.
In fact, Mr. Qin's idea was very simple, he wanted to get rid of the exploitation of the Chinese compradors of Ocean Bank and sell the goods directly to foreign businessmen. Ah Fa's job is to help him get an order. Specifically, it is to send samples of Qin Kee's goods to foreign companies or stores, attach letters and instructions translated into foreign languages, and then grab the business of foreign foreign companies at a low price, and directly enter into contracts with foreign merchants to do business.
"Our goods are mainly jade, rice, silk, tea, and of course, if we need anything else, we can also buy it."
"If you buy and sell directly, the price will be much lower, and there will be no comparison between big ocean companies like Biswaier and Chatun."
"If Mr. Chen is willing to condescend to be hired, we can sign a one-year contract first, and you can take 8 percent of the commission on all the business that is negotiated. We can negotiate a total amount, and if this amount is reached in one year, Qin Kee will hire you for another two years. You will be very rich, yes, very rich. Mr. Qin finally said with a conclusion.
Ah Fa's gaze turned and saw a gleam flashing in Mr. Qin's eyes. It cannot be denied that Mr. Qin's idea is very good, his vision is far-reaching, and he can definitely make a lot of money. What's more, he hired Ah Fa to give him a benefit salary, and there was no loss if he couldn't negotiate, so it can be said that he was shrewd and went home.
But Ah Fa had an intuition that behind Mr. Qin's elaborate appearance of gentleness and humility, there was a cunning and domineering personality, as well as that kind of shrewd and harsh means. This made him feel uneasy, as if Mr. Qin was like a spider, entangled in him with a carefully woven web, so that he could not escape.
"Mr. Qin's idea is very creative, and I believe that it will be successful. But I still want to think about it. Ah Fa's cautious answer made Mr. Qin's eyes darken, "Can you give me the address of Qin Ji Trading House, I have to take a look." Otherwise, how can I judge? β
"That's fine." Mr. Qin laughed again and said, "If Mr. Chen is not busy, I can take you there now." β
"Not right now." Ah Fa politely refused: "I still have some things to deal with, and in the past two days, I will definitely go to visit." β
"Okay, okay, here's the business card below." Mr. Qin opened the small leather bag and handed over the business card.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Mr. Qin is a shrewd businessman, and his approach to leaving Ocean Bank behind is also very creative and courageous. If I agree, the work is not very heavy, and I have a lot of free time. But the conditions given by Mr. Qin are by no means the final bottom line, because it is difficult for him to find a suitable helper.
On the way back, Ah Fa pondered carefully and confirmed this with certainty. There are very few overseas students, and they must reach the level of being able to speak and write, and they must be very formal, which is even rarer; Westerners, no, now almost no foreigners are willing to work for the Chinese. The Ministry of Industry of the Concession had a special fund to buy tickets to repatriate poor Europeans to their hometowns. In this way, they will not lose their reputation in the eyes of the yellow race because of this.
In other words, even if you agree to Mr. Qin's employment, the 8% commission is unacceptable and must be increased. Ten percent, twelve and five, fifteen, well, that's an acceptable condition, right?
Ah Fa was thinking as he walked, he had been trained to observe people in his previous life, observing his expressions and body movements, which made him very confident in Mr. Qin's negotiations. Thinking like this, his thinking expanded, and he felt that doing things for Mr. Qin, a firm, would inevitably earn a little little. If you become an independent agent and absorb many customers, Mr. Qin's firm is just one of them, not only will the relationship between him and Mr. Qin be equal, but also the income will increase exponentially, right?
Well, this already has the appearance of a foreign company. However, if there is a real foreign devil who supports the faΓ§ade, he should be able to do better and smoother. Ah Fa had a plan in his heart, took a step, walked through the streets and alleys, and continued his rental journey.

Little Pepper is planning to resell the infected Zhu Niang, which is something that everyone in the hospital has heard of, and Zhu Niang has long expected this unfortunate ending, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon. was so sudden, even the fourth sister and Caifeng who had already discussed a way were caught off guard. The fourth sister is not in the brothel if she has something to do, and Caifeng is like an ant on a hot pot, waiting for Ah Fa to come back.
"Sister Zhu Niang, go upstairs, my mother called you!" The rough girl Xiaoqin pushed the door open and shouted.
"You're in a hurry, what's the urging?" The sixth sister in the house was angry.
Zhu Niang leaned on a small bed made of wooden boards, draped in a broken quilt, and when she saw Xiaoqin coming to call her, her godless eyes immediately showed a nervous look, and she suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up.
The sixth sister approached Zhu Niang painfully, stroked Zhu Niang's shoulder, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow out.
"Mother...... Call you...... Go ......" Xiaoqin also understood what was going on, and made a sound with difficulty, as if it was squeezed out of her throat.
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Zhu Niang's lips moved a few times, and she put down a torn robe that she was sewing in her hand.
Three people, you look at me, I look at you, desolate and frightened, helpless. The room was dead silent, followed by wailing and weeping.
