Seeing that James was very anxious, Li Minmin said to him directly: "Our intelligence department has always wanted to find out the opinion of the Pontianak administrative officer on bandits, but we can't arrange people, I hope you have the opportunity to go to the official residence of the administrative officer, visit him once, see if you can find out his opinion on the prevalence of bandits on the Capuas River, and see if he reports to the governor?" “

"It's as simple as that?"

"Yes, how hard do you think. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As soon as you get this done, I'll send a telegram to the intelligence officers everywhere and ask them to spread the news that the silver is going to be devalued. “

"Okay, it's okay for me to die, but I can't guarantee that I can hear the news, if the administrative officer is strict about this, I can't do it, I hope you don't link it to spreading the news, it was arranged by the young master."

"I know, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

In the afternoon, James went to the official residence of the political officer, greeted each other and took a seat.

James said: "I have come mainly to thank His Excellency the Administrative Officer for his great help to our company, and now the construction is going very smoothly, and the company is very satisfied with this matter." “

"Sir Christian, you are so polite, this is what I should do."

"Our company can gain a foothold in Pontianak, develop and grow, and today's achievements are inseparable from your support, and our company will not forget your help to the company."

"You're so polite."

"Your Excellency, there have been a lot of rumors about Pontianak recently, which is very detrimental to the stability of our Pontianak."

"After all, these are all rumors, not to be believed, our Kingdom of the Netherlands has a large number of land forces and powerful navies stationed throughout the East Indies, and I believe that no one dares to be an enemy of our Kingdom of the Netherlands."

"I hope so, but the company doesn't understand the situation, and it's also half-convinced of the rumors, the company originally wanted to send someone to the Batavia Governor's Mansion to consult, but it was afraid that it would have a bad impact on you, so it sent me to consult, and I took the liberty of it."

"You're welcome, rumors are rumors after all, and they shouldn't be true. If anyone dares to spread wilderness on our territory, His Excellency the Governor will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress it, and will certainly protect the lives and property of our citizens. “

"Then thank you so much, Your Excellency, I will truthfully report your words to the company, so that the people in the company can rest assured."

"Your Excellency James, you are so gracious, this is what we should do, and it is our responsibility to protect the lives and property of every citizen."

"If that's the case, I'll rest assured, report to the company, then the company will continue to invest here, the company's goal is to build the Bank of Asia into the world's largest commercial bank, and the Bank of Asia headquarters in Pontianak into the world's largest gold and silver trading market, but in the future, it will be inseparable from the help of His Excellency the Administrative Officer."

"Hahaha, this is easy to say, this is our common goal, what help is needed to bring it up directly, I will definitely not shirk what I can do."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, then, for the completion of the Bank's buildings in March next year, Your Excellency the Governor, as one of our important customers, I would like to invite Your Excellency the Governor to visit when the Bank opens, and you will need your help in this matter."

"I am certainly willing to serve Your Excellency in this matter, please rest assured, I will personally invite Your Excellency the Governor."

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency, for bothering you. Another thing is this, our joint venture commercial wharf, the southern simple wharf can be used in 1 month, after being able to berth 3000 tons of freighters, our company decided to open a grain trading market in Pontianak first, my company let me consult you, whether you personally or friends want to engage in grain trade, if you can, our company will give you a preferential price. ”

"This is really good news, I am so grateful to your company for taking care of me, and I will definitely do my part for your company's food business."

"Your Excellency, there are so many rumors now, do you invite Your Excellency the Governor to send some soldiers to Pontianak to garrison Pontianak? In this way, we can also feel safe, and rumors will be debunked. ”

"I will report this matter to His Excellency the Governor at the appropriate time, and I believe that we, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will definitely be able to maintain the safety of Pontianak."

"Yes, Your Excellency, happy cooperation"

"Greetings James, happy to work with"

After James said goodbye, Gar's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, what is this, why are the bandits running to my territory, doesn't this affect my financial luck? Fortunately, they didn't attack the city, they just made trouble in the countryside, but this is not a long-term law, should they report to the governor? In case these bandits were really sent by the Governor, and I reported them, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Governor, and if I didn't report them, it would be difficult for the Governor to trouble me afterwards. And those damn Chinese families, they even want to fish in troubled waters, I can't clean up other forces, it's still easy to clean up you soft eggs.

Gal pondered for an afternoon in the mansion and didn't come up with a suitable solution, and finally decided not to think about it for now, anyway, he earned enough money to work for an extra day, and if he couldn't do it, he would go home and become a rich man, so now he can delay it for a day.

The good news is that the wharf is about to open, and there is 5% of my dry stock here, which will also be a stable source of money in the future; If I can do a good job in the grain business, it will also be a big change in my life, but I don't know if this change is good or bad, and I am not good at business. Regardless of the wharf or the grain trade, the premise is to demand the stability of Pontianak, if it is unstable, who would dare to do business.

These damn bandits!

Although Gal figured it out, it was not as much psychological pressure as just now, but there was still a shadow in his heart, lingering, which was very uncomfortable.

After James came back, he gave a detailed explanation to Li Civilian, the political officer has not reported the matter of bandits to the governor for the time being, anyway, as long as he does not enter Pontianak and has an impact on his rule, he will not care about the life or death of these natives, this guy just likes money and doesn't care much about other things. In addition, I asked him to invite the Governor to send troops to Pontianak, but he did not accept, but only said that he would talk to the Governor when the time was right, obviously not wanting the Governor to send someone to restrict his movements.

"Okay, James, you did a good job, I believe this information is very useful to us, now basically the whole world knows that these bandits are sent by the Dutch governor to disguise, they even pretend not to know, this is obviously to cover their ears and steal the bell. I'll report your credit to the young master. ”

"I don't need your report, and I don't need any credit, you can just do the things that the young master has explained."

"No problem, these are trivial things, don't worry, I'll send a telegram to those boys in the afternoon, and you can wait for good news at home."
