Wang Jialin had been in Sanya for a while, so he naturally knew what a rare opportunity it was for a prominent Haihan executive committee member to recommend him to study abroad, so he quickly expressed his gratitude to Ning Qi.

This is not only because they can get the opportunity to study in Sanya again, under the command of Xu Xinsu in Fujian, all young people who have studied in Haihan have basically been reused by different Cheng after returning from school. For example, before Wang Jialin went to Sanya to study, he only helped his father, who was a steward in Xufu, write account books and copy documents, but after returning from a year of study in Sanya, he was immediately promoted to the senior manager of the local business "Min Haixing" cooperated by Haihan and Xu Xinsu, and was responsible for checking and settling trade accounts with Haihan.

This is not because Wang Jialin's professional ability in this area is really strong, mainly because there are some differences between Haihan-style bookkeeping and Daming's practice, and the two sides often disagree because of different calculation methods when checking accounts. But Wang Jialin, who has been trained by Haihan, can just make up for this shortcoming, so that the two sides can truly achieve "seamless connection" in this link. Later, Haihan Bank opened an office in Zhangzhou to simplify the transaction settlement process between the two parties, and Wang Jialin was appointed as the supervisory representative of Xu Xinsu's side, and he was also the youngest of the five representatives of the Zhangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Although it was heavily used, Wang Jialin was well aware that what he had learned from Sanya was actually very limited, and in the words of the lecturer, it was only "the most superficial introductory knowledge". He knew he had a lot to learn, and most importantly, he knew that his interest was not in business and finance, but in the strange machines he saw in Sanya. But if you want to learn these things, there is no other place in the world except Sanya, and when he was in Sanya, he once inquired about someone, and the answer he got was that the relevant majors would not be recruited externally, even if they were apprentices, they were recruited from within the naturalized people, so he had to reluctantly give up this dream.

But now with Ning Qi's endorsement, this problem can be solved. As long as Ning Qi helped to say hello on both sides, then this matter would indeed not be too difficult.

The two chatted and strolled, and while talking, they had already come to the more prosperous streets in the city. Zhangzhou has been open for nearly 1,000 years, and the city's prosperity is not much more than that of Guangzhou, with shops selling all kinds of goods, accents from different regions of the north and south can be heard on the streets, and even Persians in white robes and blond-haired and blue-eyed Westerners can be seen from time to time.

Although Sanya is now a bustling port city, the market is not as lively as Zhangzhou. Ningqi rarely had the opportunity to travel after crossing, but this time I saw the original large port city of this era at zero distance.

Ning Qi noticed that there are already many shops here that sell all kinds of daily necessities produced in Sanya, of course, these goods are transported from the sea, and the freight cost is quite high, so the local price is not easy for ordinary people to consume. Even fast-moving consumer goods such as matches are twice as expensive as in Guangzhou, and although the profits of merchants are still considerable, the high price will also affect the number of sales in a certain way.

However, this is not without a solution, as long as the number of goods placed in the Zhangzhou market is increased. Of course, there is another premise for this, that is, it is necessary to increase the maritime capacity between Fujian and Sanya, and this is also an important topic of commercial and trade cooperation between the two sides in the negotiations between Ningqi this time.

Due to the long voyage between Fujian and Sanya, the trade volume between the two sides has been in a state of unpopularity in the past few years, but with the expansion of the Haihan in the Qiongzhou Island control area and the increase in the population under its rule, the output of various export commodities is also growing steadily, the need for markets and raw materials makes the Executive Committee can no longer continue to be satisfied with the status quo, increasing the trade volume between Fujian and Qiongzhou has also become one of the key development directions through the fifth year, and this is mainly achieved through the means of maritime trade.

Haihan Ministry of Commerce and Fujian Xu Xinsu two years ago set up a cooperative firm "Min Hai Xing", but the function of this business bank is still relatively simple, only responsible for the trade contact and settlement between the two sides, and the Executive Committee now hopes to be able to gradually improve the function of "Min Hai Xing", especially the maritime transport industry between the two places, the Executive Committee has instructed the Ministry of Shipping to build a special freight fleet for the "Min Hai Xing" to maintain business and trade between the two places.

Regarding this matter, Ning Qi has briefly mentioned it to Xu Xinsu in the previous contact, which is a good thing for both parties, and Xu Xinsu naturally has no reason to object, but some detailed issues, such as shipbuilding costs, freight calculations, shipping schedules, route formulation, etc., need to find a special field for further discussion.

After walking around a few streets, Ning Qi felt a little tired, so he asked Wang Jialin to find a place to stop and rest.

Wang Jialin said: "There is a teahouse at the intersection in front, and the various refreshments are not bad, Mr. Ning can go there to rest for a while?"

Ning Qi nodded, and let Wang Jialin lead the way. Wang Jialin is also careful in his work, after entering the teahouse, he asked Xiao Er to find the boss, let the plainclothes officer of the team show his waist card, and then directly wrapped the second floor, a team of plainclothes soldiers guarded downstairs, and no idlers were allowed to go upstairs.

Ning Qi also knew that this was one of the security measures arranged by Xu Xinsu, but he was not disgusted, the time-traveler chose to come to this time and space to be a privileged class, and although it was a bit exaggerated to take a break and drink a cup of tea, it was not a big deal.

Ning Qi felt a little hungry after walking for a long time, so he asked the store to serve a few bowls of lo noodles that were said to be more characteristic in the store, and let Wang Jialin and his four guards also sit down and eat together. At the end of the checkout, the boss stammered and didn't dare to collect the cashier, Wang Jialin probably saw a lot of this kind of situation, so he threw five taels of silver on the table, which was also a lot.

The boss thanked him and withdrew, and Ning Qi asked with a smile: "It seems that as long as you show Lord Xu's signboard, you can eat and drink for free in Zhangzhou City, right?"

Wang Jialin said: "Mr. Ning said that he was joking, Lord Xu is actually quite strict, and a person like a villain, who was born as a domestic servant, if he dares to cheat and cheat in the name of Lord Xu outside, he will definitely be expelled from the Xu Mansion." Master Xu often has a sentence on his lips, that is, it is difficult for those who are greedy for small and cheap things to achieve great things, and villains also keep it in mind and always reflect on themselves. ”

"Lord Xu is quite good at what he said. Ning Qi couldn't help but nod in praise. As a businessman who must be compared with baht, it is indeed not easy for Xu Xinsu to have such a mentality, and it is no wonder that he can go all the way from a businessman to the position of the chief soldier of a province.

The two chatted and went downstairs, Wang Jialin made a gesture, and several plainclothes guards opened the way in front of the store and left the store first. As soon as the two of them arrived and stepped out of the store, they heard someone shouting on the street, and then they saw seven or eight passers-by in different directions pulling out sharp blades more than a foot long from their clothes and rushing straight over.

It was the first time Ning Qi had encountered such a scene, and although he had already sensed the dangerous atmosphere and realized that these people might be coming for him, his body was having difficulty reacting. On the contrary, Wang Jialin next to him immediately shouted: "Protect the nobles!"

The guards of the Xu Mansion were all dressed in plain clothes, and they did not carry more competent weapons, and they were swarmed by these seven or eight people, and the two guards who were at the head were poked over by the assassins who rushed up behind them after kicking over the two of them. Others protected Ning Qi and Wang Jialin and chose to retreat to the store. Ning Qi didn't come back to his senses for a while, but two guards grabbed his arm and dragged him backwards into the store.

The guards of the Xu Mansion who moved quickly had already copied a few benches from the store and rushed out again. Wang Jialin's face turned pale at this time, and he kept muttering, "It's the other way around...... It's really the other way around...... In broad daylight, you dare to stab ...... in the street"

Ning Qi calmed down at this time, waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, just a few people can't make the climate." ”

However, Ning Qi's flag was also set up a little earlier, and as soon as the words fell, several customers sitting in the store also drew their sharp blades and pounced. However, these people obviously didn't expect that Ning Qi's personal guards still had killing weapons in their hands, and several guards who had already pressed their hands on the guns drew their pistols and released a burst of cannons at the few people who rushed over. Suddenly, the smell of gunpowder and blood was mixed in the store.

It wasn't until the gunfire stopped that Ning Qi remembered that he also had a gun on him, and quickly pulled out the gun from the holster under his armpit and opened the safe. However, there were no more assassins rushing out to fight, and several people fell in the store, groaning incessantly.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's safe!" Ning Qi's hand holding the gun couldn't help but tremble slightly. He thought he would be able to calm down in the face of dangerous situations, but now he seems to have overestimated his resilience. If it weren't for these guards just now, I wouldn't have been able to stab seven or eight holes in my body with knives by this group of assassins who suddenly appeared.

"Quickly ask someone to block off the nearby streets, maybe these people have accomplices lurking nearby......" Ning Qi said as he looked around for Wang Jialin, but saw him sitting on the ground with his waist pale and unable to speak.

Ning Qi smiled: "I saw that you were still a little calm just now, why are you scared now?"

Wang Jialin trembled and stretched out his hand holding his waist, and his hand was covered with blood: "Mr. Ning, villain...... Hurt ......"

Ning Qi was shocked, and said in his heart that these assassins did not rush to Wang Jialin's body, how could they hurt him, and quickly squatted down to take a look, and saw that Wang Jialin had a small flying knife with a red silk tied to the end of his ribs, and blood was already flowing around the wound.

Ning Qi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, find a board, and carry Wang Jialin back to Lord Xu's house for treatment! Find a leg and go back to report the news, and let Morgan prepare for surgery!"

There was no board available in this teahouse, so he directly requisitioned the door panel and lifted Wang Jialin up and flattened it. Ning Qi couldn't help but comfort: "Don't panic, we have a way to save you! I'll send you back, we have the best surgeon in our mission!"

Wang Jialin's voice was much quieter at this time: "Mr. Ning, don't leave in a hurry...... There may be an Assassin remnant outside...... Guards will arrive in a moment......"

"Send him away quickly!" Ning Qi didn't want the wounded to continue to delay here, and immediately gave the order to transfer. Seeing these plainclothes guards looking at each other, Ning Qi urged again: "You send out four people, quickly carry him back to Lord Xu's mansion, if you delay any longer, it will be too late to treat him! I'm just waiting for reinforcements here, don't worry, I still have them!"

The four guards had not spoken from beginning to end, and after making sure that the situation in the store had been brought under control, they were reloading their bullets and checking on the situation of the downed assassins in the store.

The incident happened suddenly, and several guards were in a hurry to finish the bullets in the gun in one go, and there were a few dumb shots in the middle. However, as luck would have it, all three of the Assassins who suddenly appeared were hit and fell to the ground. But there are also unfortunate unlucky ghosts, two innocent passers-by were hit by stray bullets in the shooting just now, one of them was shot in the head and has hung up on the spot.

And when Ning Qi followed them to inspect the results of the battle, he also found that next to the position he was in just now, there were two flying knives nailed to the table, it seemed that some of the several assassins just now took advantage of the chaos to launch a long-range attack in their own defenseless situation, but the accuracy and luck were a little worse, and the flying knives pierced the table and Wang Jialin, the unlucky ghost. Judging from the position of the flying knife, Wang Jialin probably happened to be between the flying knife and Ning Qi at that time, and inadvertently made a meat shield.

"It's so dangerous!" Ning Qi had to sigh again after confirming the scene. If Xu Xinsu hadn't arranged plainclothes guards, if he hadn't brought four personal guards, and if Wang Jialin had stood a little bit wrong just now, he would have had to do something. And the chrono weapons brought from the 21st century, in fact, do not play a protective role in this chaotic situation - of course, this also has a lot to do with Ning Qi's own reaction speed and method, if the person who encountered this just now Morgan or Shi Diwen, probably the people on the scene will have the opportunity to enjoy a professional CQS (CloseQuarterShoot) battle.

I have to say that the government's reaction was quite fast, and the wounded Wang Jialin was carried away on the front foot, and the government's arrest and the military's city defense army had already rushed to the scene of the accident. After hearing that the person who was assassinated was the Haihan envoy who had just arrived in Zhangzhou yesterday, the head hunter and the officer who led the team almost crawled into the store to ask Ning Qi for his guilt.
