Seeing Yan Shao walking out of the governor's yamen, several people who came with him hurriedly surrounded him. "Boss, how's it going? Did the Governor agree?"

Looking back at the gate of the governor's yamen, Yan Shao shook his head with a gloomy face. "Let's go..."

Although it shows that Zhilu Dao Chengxun can't control this matter, the current situation of the textile factory can't help but let Yan Shao give it a try.

After arriving at the governor's yamen, Chengxun's guy didn't close the door, but when Yan Shao mentioned helping, this guy came to 'take care of the left and right', and he was forced by Yan Shao to simply serve tea and send off the guests.

Obviously, Seong-hoon's side doesn't have to count on it...

"Can't you..."

Noticing Yan Shao's face, those people also became depressed.

In their opinion, without the intervention of the government, the company would not be able to confront the consortium of more than 20 Japanese businessmen. And the current situation of the company, it is difficult for them not to be depressed.

In fact, it's not just they think so, even the British think so...

"Gentlemen, it's time for us to do it..."

In the conference room of Jardine Matheson, Harrison crossed his hands and said to the managers of several other foreign companies.

Unlike the Japanese foreign firms, the British foreign firms did not only focus on the textile industry, but also had great interests in other areas. Of course, this is not to say that the British do not pay attention, after all, they started from the textile industry, but the British textile factories are in other places, and there are very few in China, the most famous of which is probably the Jardine Matheson yarn factory founded by Jardine Matheson...

Although it was well known that the dumping of Japanese textiles in the Yangtze River basin would not last long, it was impossible to say that the British could be happy to see that Japanese goods were sold so smoothly on the Yangtze River.

However, the emergence of a large Chinese-owned textile factory in the Yangtze River basin was also a great threat to the British. So after thinking about it for a long time, the British made up their minds, that is, while stopping the Japanese, they also found a way to pull out the seedling that might threaten them, or at least suppress it...

This is an acquisition, or a shareholding.

As long as the Wuhu Textile Factory became British, or had British shares in it, then the British would have an excuse to intervene in this vicious competition and prevent the Japanese from continuing to invade the Yangtze River Valley. After all, it is true that the Yangtze River valley is within the power of the British, and even the Japanese government has to admit it.

In the Yangtze River basin, it is also very normal to protect the interests of British merchants...

As long as you can take a stake in the Wuhu Textile Factory, it is equivalent to controlling this factory in your own hands, and the possibility of posing a threat to the British in the future will be much less.

Of course, it was not only the British who thought of this solution, but also the Germans, but unfortunately, although the relationship between the British and the Germans in Shanghai was not as tense as before because of the incident in the past, the two countries were enemy countries that could break out at any time. If the British could reluctantly accept the Japanese operating in the Yangtze River valley, the Germans absolutely not.

"But which foreign company should come forward...", the person in charge of a foreign company spoke, and glanced at Harrison with some wariness after speaking.

The people present agreed with the acquisition or shareholding of Wuhu Textile Factory, but they also knew very well that whoever could buy Wuhu Textile Factory was tantamount to going deep into the hinterland of China first. Among the foreign companies present, the strongest was Jardine Matheson, so almost every person in charge of the foreign company was looking at Harrison vigilantly.

Shaking his head with an almost imperceptible movement, Harrison knew that if this problem could not be solved, then the meeting would probably not be able to achieve anything. "My idea is that not any foreign company will come forward, but we will form a textile company, and then this company will come forward to acquire or become a shareholder..."

If you leave this matter to other foreign companies, it is impossible for other foreign companies to rest assured, and this is also true for Harrison himself. Therefore, the best way is to form a company by several foreign companies related to the textile industry, and then this company will come forward, so that the interests will be evenly distributed, and the number of opponents will be much less.

Sure enough, hearing Harrison's proposal, the heads of several other foreign banks looked at each other and did not object to anything. The next thing to do is to discuss the issue of shares.

Seeing that the person in charge of the foreign bank present was not objecting, Harrison smiled slightly. "But before that, we must first send a representative to contact that Mr. Yan Shao, lest he be defeated by the Japanese before we can contact him..."

Just when Harrison was thinking about the right person to approach, he didn't know that the Japanese were thinking about the same thing.

"Oda, I'll take care of this matter to you..."In Mitsui's manager's office, Yamamoto said indifferently to Oda Ryosuke.

Hearing Yamamoto's words, Ryosuke Oda nodded. "Rest assured, I will do everything I can, but—" He hesitated at this point. What if that Chinese doesn't know how to lift..."

"I don't know how to lift...", as if remembering something, Yamamoto's expression became much more hideous than before. Then you don't have to talk to him..."

Like Harrison, Yamamoto also had the idea of a Wuhu textile factory.

Although he gritted his teeth at Yan Shao, he knew very well what to do to make the most profits.

At present, several spinning mills controlled by Mitsui can only barely meet the demand of the Shanghai market, and together with several other yarn mills, it is somewhat reluctant to set foot in the hinterland of the Yangtze River. But if there is a Wuhu spinning mill, then it is completely possible to take this opportunity to seize the market of one or two provinces, and Mitsui & Co. can also take this opportunity to overwhelm other Japanese businessmen again...

Compared to these, the grudge between him and Yan Shao is nothing.

But then again, if you can take a stake in Wuhu Textile Factory, then even Yan Shao will have to look at his face in the future...

"If only there was such a day..."

Thinking of one day in the future, Yan Shao dared to be angry in front of him, and Yamamoto felt hot all over.

Not long after, the Japanese and the British found Yan Shao successively, but when they came to the door, they were all rejected by Yan Shao

For Yan Shao, he would rather close the Wuhu Textile Factory than let him fall into the hands of the British or the Japanese. He knew very well that the Japanese were making a lot of fun now, in fact, the British did not welcome them, and it was only because they didn't like themselves that they wanted to borrow the hands of the Japanese to dispose of themselves first.

When this problem disappeared, the next thing the British had to do was to drive the Japanese out of the Yangtze River. In this way, it is tantamount to returning to the situation in history, at least until the end of the First World War, British and Japanese merchants did not go deep into the Yangtze River.

But if the textile mill was handed over to the Japanese or the British, the two sides would have a foothold in Anhui, and then they could follow this foothold and naturally invade into the depths of the Yangtze River. In that case, returning to this era will not only change nothing, but will make the country worse...

So he would rather change his career than let the textile mill fall into the hands of someone else...

Looking at the Japanese and British who slammed the door and left, Elaline and Caterina frowned, but they didn't say anything after that, because Yan Shao had already told them the reason for refusal.

But Elaline and Caterina can understand, and the others are a little incomprehensible, not to say that they don't know what the nation is and what the national righteousness is, but the factory is closed, and they will also be unemployed. For some people, the silver dollar in the purse bag is much more important than that.

On the other hand, both the British and the Japanese felt that he did not know how to lift up, especially Yamamoto was extremely annoyed, and after the people who sent him to Lu were refused, he even proposed to increase dumping sales at a meeting with other Japanese foreign firms, and for a time except for Wuhu, the whole Anhui Province could not see a trademark belonging to Wuhu Textile Factory.

But while Yan Shao was struggling, in distant Mexico, a long-forgotten man named Odonis was still busy in the land of Tampico...
