Chapter 16: The Wharf and the Foreigners
Lei Hu made a move, and in three or two clicks, he helped Zhongyi Hall increase its income by at least forty percent, and it did not cause public resentment to boil, and this kind of means made Qin Bao, the master of Zhongyi Hall, praise the next few brothers.
"Where is this, what we did before was just internal tapping, and the next thing is the bulk of our income!"
Unceremoniously took Qin Leopard's share of the 100 taels of red silver, Lei Hu smiled and opened his mouth, and threw another big bomb unhurriedly.
And there's a way to get money, and it's still a big head?
The high-level officials of the Zhongyi Hall were stunned at first when they heard this, and then they were all so excited that their faces were red and they were not excited.
"The next target is the dock!"
Lei Hu said with confidence: "As long as we grasp the management of the wharf, a lot of silver will roll in, then it is called making a lot of money!" ”
I thought it would win the applause and cheers of the high-level officials of the Zhongyi Hall, but I didn't expect that the surroundings were quiet.
Turning his head to look, he happened to see the embarrassment and helplessness on Qin Bao's face, and the rest of the high-level officials were also like this, and there were even one or two who looked at Lei Hu unpleasantly, directly revealing full of contempt and disdain.
"What's wrong with Brother Leopard, as far as I know, there are no gangs on the docks!"
Puzzled in his heart, Lei Hu spoke directly without being polite at all: "I really have to do what I say, after mastering the management of the wharf, we can get no less than 5,000 taels of silver or even more every year!" ”
Tear......
Hearing such a figure as five thousand taels, all the high-level officials of the Zhongyi Hall present gasped, and the expressions on their faces were very complicated, with both greed for silver and fear of it.
Qin Bao's eyes flashed with undisguised greed, but in the end, the color of greed disappeared, replaced by full depression and pain, and said helplessly; "Ah Hu, it's not that we can't take the management of the wharf, it's just that it's the territory of foreigners, it's not easy to toss!"
Speaking of foreigners, a trace of jealousy and fear flashed in his eyes, and the rest of the high-level officials of the Zhongyi Hall also looked like this, obviously afraid of foreigners to the core.
Lying on the grass, how can you forget the troubles of foreigners?
Lei Hu suddenly understood what Qin Bao was worried about, and this worry was still very necessary.
In the previous life, Huaxia had become one of the world's big hooligans, and the fear and jealousy of foreigners in the hearts of the Chinese people gradually disappeared, and they were able to calmly face the competition and threats of foreigners, and they were not timid towards foreigners.
Lei Hu also has the same mentality, even if this is the heyday of foreigners' arrogance, he is not very afraid.
The information explosion of later generations made it possible for ordinary people to know the information surface and information extremely rich, knowing what the great powers were at this time, and also knowing their approximate strength in the Far East.
Just because he knew the information that the Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty absolutely did not know, Lei Hu did not have much fear of the so-called powers, of course, there was still a necessary fear, and if he really wanted to face him, he would still be able to make a brazen attack, and he was not as jealous and awe-inspiring as the Chinese people at this time, and he didn't even have the courage to use force.
That historical information is not verbose, after Lei Hu learned about the specific goals that Hall Master Qin Bao and the others were worried about, he became very concerned about the affairs of foreigners, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Leopard, don't worry, this matter is on me!"
He already had a vague idea in his heart about how to act, but Lei Hu didn't want to say it directly, so as not to make the hall master Qin Bao worry and ruin his plan.
In the end, Qin Bao still agreed to let Lei Hu give it a try, mainly because the benefits of five thousand taels of silver per year were too huge, and he was really reluctant to give up.
Of course, he also reminded Lei Hu that once it was unviolable, stop immediately, and it would not be a big deal to keep things outside of his body aside.
Five thousand taels of silver is naturally nothing for a real wealthy businessman, but it is definitely a huge amount of money for the poor Zhongyitang, and it is too tempting to have such a large amount of money every year.
Otherwise, killing Qin Leopard would not have agreed to let Lei Hu take the risk.
As for the rest of the high-level leaders of Zhongyi Hall, they have no other thoughts in their hearts, and they may wish that Lei Hu would hit his head and break the bloodstream, or even die simply in the hands of foreigners.
Even if he is lucky not to die in the hands of foreigners, as long as he offends foreigners, the accountability of the government after the government is not something that Lei Hu can easily bear.
If Qin Bao loses the powerful helper of Lei Hu, the position of the hall master of the Loyal and Righteous Hall may change hands.
Lei Hu didn't care what the thoughts and thoughts of the senior leaders of Zhongyitang were, and he quickly told those bad minds with successful actions that they wanted to see his jokes and stop dreaming.
I don't know how Lei Hu got it, in short, it didn't take half a month for this guy to hook up with the foreigners on the dock, and take the management of the dock in his hands in the name of the foreigner.
Lei Hu didn't care so much, he asked for nearly 100 brothers from Zhongyi Hall, and it took a full month to barely rectify the order of the dock and plan and implement a new management system.
After getting these, the silver poured in like flowing water, and Lei Hu unceremoniously intercepted thirty percent of the flow from it as the wharf management and operation funds, and the rest of the income was all managed by Qin Bao.
They don't have the courage to toss around, they want to get a piece of the huge interests of the dock, and they still need Lei Hu's permission and help, otherwise they won't be able to get the slightest benefit.
After doing all this, Lei Hu let go of specific affairs, and only did the work of being in charge of the general supervision, and his extra thoughts were focused on improving his strength.
Although almost two months have passed, he still hasn't forgotten the depression of being taken down by Huang Feihong in Xiangfu Teahouse that day.
Huang Feihong was placed in the martial arts world at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and he was not the most powerful group of martial artists, he couldn't even do Huang Feihong, but it is conceivable that if he went to the north where martial arts masters gathered, he could suppress his existence in fist and foot kung fu, there must be not a few!
Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in my heart.
He has no interest in strengthening the power of Zhongyitang, and besides, the late Qing Dynasty is not allowed to toss around, and if it is not good, Zhongyitang will be tossed away.
At this time, the Qing court had not yet reached the point of complete collapse, and the old lady who had been in charge of the 'Great Qing Dynasty' for decades was still living quite nourishingly, and the situation in the world had not yet reached the point of no return.
At the moment, there is a little power, and there is no shortage of money in hand, so it is fundamental to calm down and slowly improve your own strength.
As long as his martial arts are strong enough, he can mix up the wind and water wherever he goes, and besides, if he travels back, his physical fitness has been comprehensively improved, if he doesn't develop and use it well, wouldn't it be a waste, he also wants to see how far his martial arts can reach......
