Chapter 13: The Thousand-Tailed Scorpion
In the next three days, Li Tie repeated the gray school life in the morning, and then fled for school at noon.
In the past three days, he has not encountered the suffocating beauty of the school flower again. However, the legend of Guan Tian's great story continues, and it is said that it has spread to several colleges and universities in Shanghai around it.
Li Tie never thought that he wanted to be low-key, but for no reason, he would become a celebrity in the Shanghai university community. Because of his unique way of showing love, coquettish pick-up method.
Although his notoriety is still widely spread among the students of various colleges, it is said that many boys have become his fans in private, and they are unconsciously imitating his courtship, and it is said that the effect is quite good.
Li Tie didn't have time to inquire about these gossip, and now he was busy hitting the back of his head. The drivers introduced by Zhao Dabao left more than a dozen.
The newly renovated office space has also been almost cleaned up, and Huaxing Automobile Leasing Company and Car Sales Company have also been successfully registered.
By the way, there are really a lot of talented people in the newspaper. What foreign bank manager, accounting, warehouse management is complete. The foreign bank and the automobile company alone summoned two sets of people, more than 40 people.
Today, these people are huddled in the lobbies and backyards of car companies. It seems that the office equipment will be implemented soon.
After careful calculation, not counting the various expenses and business commissions every month, Li Tie's salary to be paid every month is 3,000 silver dollars.
In Shanghai today, a truck costs only 1,000 silver dollars, and a car costs 800 silver dollars. Li Tie was looking for something to make money. Otherwise, it would have been three months before Germany received arms and food.
However, since the first batch of arms was sold, it was believed that the future arms would not be sold less, so he and Mike simply sent another telegram to their families, asking the German machine factory to find the Mauser factory to order 20,000 Mauser pistols, 30,000 Mauser rifles, and some grenades or something.
Not to mention the bullets, which were rationed at the rate of a thousand rounds per gun, because Li Tie knew that China was about to fight a big war.
Anyway, as long as it's a light weapon, it doesn't matter if you do more. Mike has already contacted friends in Hong Kong to help him choose a large piece of land in Hong Kong, close to the kind of place where the wharf can drive into large ships, and prepare to build a large warehouse. According to Li Tie's requirements, the warehouse should be large enough to be opened by train.
In the future, all the arms will be sent to the Hong Kong treasury and then smuggled to various parts of China as required, but the business in Hong Kong needs a trustworthy person to take care of it, and Li Tie has no suitable candidate at present.
Anyway, after the place is chosen, you have to sign the contract in person, and it is not too late to determine the candidate.
Li Tie was thinking about what kind of business he was doing, and he could make money every month, when suddenly Tie Dan knocked on the door of the manager's room. It turned out that Dai Li came, quickly led Dai Li into the office, and personally poured Dai Li a cup of Tieguanyin.
Hush Han and ask for warmth before going to the point, it turned out that Dai Li came to send him a deposit this time. Say 10,000 box cannons, 100 silver dollars is 1 million silver dollars. Plus a million rounds of ammunition, ten rounds of silver dollars. That's another hundred thousand silver dollars.
A total of 1,100,000 silver dollars, half of which is paid in advance, which is 550,000 yuan. Dai Li took out a golden ticket of 600,000 silver dollars from the briefcase he was carrying.
10,000 yuan each, a total of 60 sheets, was slapped on Li Tie's table. Li Tie took it out and clicked it, took out five and returned it to Dai Li, "It's half, why do you take an extra 50,000?" β
Dai Li didn't expect Li Tie to return 50,000 silver dollars to him, and hurriedly sent the golden ticket to Li Tie again, "This is my brother, my personal gratitude to you, and it has nothing to do with foreign banks."
If it weren't for my brother's desperate efforts this time, we wouldn't have been able to buy arms at such a low price. There are still a lot of places where you can use your brother in the future, so don't see outside.
"Hehe, eldest brother is really polite, I hit it off with my eldest brother at first sight, I should help you, how can I collect your money." Li Tie once again rejected the golden ticket in front of him.
Dai Li didn't expect that there were really people in this world who didn't love money, and he didn't know how to react for a while. But if you don't give away the 50,000 yuan, you really can't express your gratitude.
He can also earn at least 550,000 silver dollars from Du Yuesheng for this purchase. Even if he gave Li Tie 50,000, he still had 500,000 silver dollars to give to Chiang Kai-shek for military expenses, so he pushed the money to Li Tie again.
The two sides pushed back and forth several times, and finally Li Tie came up with a solution. He accepted the 50,000 yuan, but he gave it to Dai Li again.
Hearing that Dai Li had joined the National Revolutionary Army, Li Tie always admired the decision of the National Revolutionary Army led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and at the same time aim to eliminate the domestic warlords and unify the whole of China.
As an aspiring young man in New China, he should do something useful for the country. The 50,000 yuan was transferred to the National Revolutionary Army by Dai Li, which was donated to the Revolutionary Army by Li Tie.
Dai Li knew that this was just Li Tie's words, but it was also touching. On behalf of the entire National Revolutionary Army, Dai Li thanked Li Tie and bowed deeply to Li Tie.
Dai Li told Li Tie that he would stay in Shanghai and return to Guangzhou when the arms deal was successful, and that he would report Li Tie's righteousness to the Nationalist Government.
Before leaving, Dai Li also left a contact address, No. 66 Huageni Road, and he could go there to inform him as soon as the arms arrived.
After Li Tie sent Dai Li out, he found that Dai Li was escorted by two gang disciples and left in a rickshaw. Li Tie, who was suspicious in his heart, quietly called Zhao Dabao and asked him to find a rickshaw and follow Dai Li, to see where he went.
Li Tie, who returned to the office, played with fifty-five golden tickets of 10,000 yuan. I can't help but sigh, this arms business is really profitable, and the 200,000 arms have not yet arrived on the shore, and they have earned 350,000 yuan first.
Haha, got rich. Carefully pack up the golden ticket and go to Mike to tell him that the deposit for the first arms business has been received. Let the accountant enter 500,000 yuan, and the other 50,000 yuan he will use to buy office furniture tomorrow morning.
Of course, Mike will not object to anything, and the formalities of entering 550,000 yuan in front of the accountant and cashier, and spending 50,000 yuan of office funds, have all been completed.
Mike also told Li Tie the good news that he had bought a newly arrived American car from Yamato for 1,000 silver dollars, which would be delivered tonight, and Zhao Dabao would pick him up and Tie Dan tomorrow morning.
Li Tie said that the relationship is good, Zhao Dabao went out to run errands, and I will personally inform him when I come back.
Soon Zhao Dabao returned from outside, No. 66 Huage Nickel Road, it turned out to be the old mansion where Du Yuesheng had been living, so Zhao Dabao's original Yongxing Yarn Factory was closed, and then thinking about the arms deal with Dai Li, Li Tie suddenly realized.
I said that the National Revolutionary Army didn't need so many box guns, and they were really bought for the Shanghai tycoons. Because in two years, it will be the famous April 12 counter-revolution in the previous life.
At that time, the main force of the persecution of the workers' armed forces was the three tycoons of Shanghai. Feelings Chiang Kai-shek, they began to prepare in two or five years. It is no wonder that the 412 counter-revolution led by the workers suffered heavy losses.
When you arrive, should you inform the workers in advance? Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and let's talk about it then.
Send Zhao Dabao to the Huaxing team to prepare, and tonight will welcome the first company car. Tell Zhao Dabao that don't rush into the warehouse when the car arrives, take a few drivers of the team, fill up the fuel and run a few laps first, familiarize yourself with the performance of the new car, and go to his house tomorrow morning to pick him up and Tiedan.
Zhao Dabao promised to retire happily. Li Tie counted the furniture he would buy tomorrow, and then looked at what other office supplies he wanted to buy, such as safes and the like.
In addition, the dormitory of Huaxing Racing Team and the staff dormitory of foreign banks should also be implemented.
It's still early before dark, call the iron egg. The two again brought a hundred rounds of ammunition to the Golden Tiger Shooting Club to practice shooting. The scene that happened last time at the club is repeated.
After the two of them finished fighting the hundred bullets in their hands, they were once again surrounded by many dignitaries. With the last experience, Li Tie quietly publicized Huaxing Foreign Bank.
Just when the two of them finished promoting the foreign bank and were about to turn around and leave, they suddenly found that the thousand-tailed scorpion sister who was talking about business at the Majestic Hotel last time was standing not far away looking at Li Tie with a smile on her face.
From her eyes, Li Tie could obviously see that this cheap sister had seen through their careful thoughts.
Sure enough, after the congregation dispersed, Sister Thousand-Tailed Scorpion stepped forward and pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, you little plum, it turns out that the shooting here is fake, and the advertising is real, do you want to pay me more publicity fees." β
Seeing that Sister Qian was not really angry, Li Tie immediately hit the snake with the stick, and naturally became extremely familiar.
"Ouch! My sister Qian, my good sister, you have wronged my brother. We are also just at the right time, and we are struggling for business in foreign banks. So come here and relax. β
???? Oh, I don't know what kind of business is so difficult to do, so that my genius little brother is nerve-wracking.
Oh nothing, the foreign bank wants to expand, wants to buy the surrounding houses together, but the homeland is difficult to leave, the residents here do not want to move, and refuse to rent to us, our foreign bank now hundreds of workers are all crowded in the chase shop.
After speaking, Li Tie really sighed, but this tone was not fake, he was really worried about the fact that his shop and dormitory had no place.
Hehe, what a big deal do I do. It turned out to be this, a trivial matter, I don't know whose house you want to buy, brother. My sister is still a little popular in Shanghai, so I'll arrange someone to help you do it.
"Oh, really. Can my sister help me buy these houses? Hearing that the thousand-tailed scorpion was in a big package, Li Tie's eyes lit up.
"Of course, don't you know that our Golden Tiger Club also has a business department that specializes in solving problems for others?"
"Oh, and that, I remember. The last time I came, two rickshaws reminded me. So what they call the business department is what you call the department that solves trouble? β
"Yes, but friendship is friendship, if we help you buy these houses, it is a business-to-business matter, so our business department will charge 10% of the total transaction price as a commission."
"Hehe, any problem that money can solve is not a problem, sister rest assured. I agreed to the commission."
"Oh, anything that money can solve is not a problem, that's a fitting saying. Well, I don't know when you want to talk about buying a house. β
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day today." Li Tie was still afraid of long nights and dreams, and the thousand-tailed scorpion was teasing him.
"Okay, let's go" The thousand-tailed scorpion called Hei Da Hei Er, and led a dozen men in black suits to call more than a dozen rickshaws. A group of people came to the street where Huaxing Foreign Company and Huaxing Automobile Company are located.
I saw more than 20 houses between the two companies, and there were several small buildings with two or three floors in the middle.
The thousand-tailed scorpion looked at Li Tie beside him, "Brother, which houses do you want to buy?" β
Li Tie said a little embarrassed, "Sister Qian, look at the house in the distance that has just been renovated with a unified faΓ§ade, it is the car company I finally bought." β
After speaking, he pointed to the two-story building next to him, "This is the Huaxing foreign company I rent now, if we can, we want to buy all the houses between the two companies." In addition, there are 10 houses behind the car company that we also want to buy. What do you think? β
"That's all?" The thousand-tailed scorpion asked, turning his head.
"That's all for now, when I'm done buying these, if I buy something else, I'll beg my sister."
"Okay? Black big?" The thousand-tailed scorpion shouted.
"Yes, Sister Scorpion, please command." The black big next to him immediately answered.
"You also heard Brother Li's words just now. Now grab the greeting sticker from our business department. Send them to the various residences between Huaxing Foreign Bank and the distant automobile company, and let them go to the Jinhu Business Department tomorrow morning to sign the residential sales contract.
Then I asked who owns the current two-story building of Huaxing Foreign Bank, and asked them to send a representative to negotiate the contract tomorrow. The thousand-tailed scorpion actually gave an order directly, and it didn't mean to go door-to-door to persuade at all.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Hei Da took out a large handful of red stickers from the briefcase of an assistant next to him. Distributed to a dozen black-clothed men behind him. After a few whispers, he returned to the thousand-tailed scorpion again.
"Report to Sister Scorpion, have things been arranged? There will be news soon. β
Li Tie stared at everything that was happening in front of him with wide eyes beside him, "This, this is the end?" β
"So what do you think will happen. The efficiency of our business department has always been so high. The thousand-tailed scorpion also thought that Li Tie was making a fuss.
Li Tie still felt a little incredible, and couldn't help but ask the thousand-tailed scorpion, "Just take a red invitation card and send it to people's homes, and they will obediently go to you tomorrow to sign the sales contract?" Don't bargain either? I don't ask how long it will take to move out? β
Of course, there will be bargaining, and we will generally give 20% higher than the market price for this kind of transaction, as well as various moving expenses, resettlement fees, etc.
We Axe Gang are not bullies. It's just that our reputation has always been very good, and we all give face to Shanghai Tang, and I've been here for two years, and no one has really fought against us.
Li Tie couldn't help muttering in his heart, as far as your Axe Gang has a good reputation, it's right to kill a very famous person. It's not that Shanghai Beach gives face, it's that I'm afraid of you.
It's just that the deal you made is fair, I don't believe it, when you encounter the kind of nail household that doesn't move, it's strange if you don't stab you in the back.
After a while, more than a dozen black-clothed young men all returned, the task was completed, and the families of dozens of houses and villas said that they would go to the Golden Tiger Business Department to negotiate contracts tomorrow.
Seeing that Li Tie was still stunned, the thousand-tailed scorpion couldn't help laughing. If there is any other store you want to buy, say it all at once. My sister did it for you. Tomorrow I have to sign contracts with these people, and if you want to beg me in the future, you may not be able to find me.
Li Tie, who came back to his senses, thought to himself what to pretend, just embarrassed for you. Ah, the four-story building and the open space behind it on the other side of my foreign bank are a warehouse of Huang Jinrong.
I don't know if he can sell this place to me, this Huang Jinrong is one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, and he is the chief inspector of the French Concession, before Li Tie finished complaining,
Wang Yanan, who had already heard it impatiently, snorted and called Heida. "Heida, you go on a trip in person, take my greeting sticker to find Huang Jinrong, and say that my brother has fallen in love with his treasury, let him bear the pain and cut his love.
Take the time to arrange someone to come to my business department to talk about the sales contract, so that he can rest assured that my brother has money and will definitely give him a high price. β
Hei Da nodded in agreement, and took the sticker from Wang Yanan's hand. took a few of his men to find Huang Jinrong in a rickshaw.
Li Tie stared at the bull's eyes as big as copper bells, and looked at Wang Yanan incredulously. "Sister Qian, you have so much face. When will I be able to mix up like you in Shanghai, I will die without regrets. β
"Hehe, what kind of bad words, okay. It's been a long time, I have to go back, remember that no matter how much we negotiate in the end, our 10% commission is inevitable, go and get the money ready.
These houses are all estimated to be hundreds of thousands," after speaking, ignoring Li Tie's reaction, he returned home with a long rickshaw convoy.
The iron egg beside him looked at Li Tie silently for a long time, and couldn't help but touch the young master who was staying aside.
Young Master Li, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Thousand-tailed scorpion, capable man!"?
