In the following time, several major Chinese families headed by the Liu family suddenly became difficult, and forcibly demanded to use the properties of Lin, Zhang and other families to pay off their debts on the grounds of debt disputes.

In the face of several major families in trouble, Lin, Zhang and other families were not to be outdone, and actively raised funds to keep the industry.

However, it is a pity that the resistance of the Lin, Zhang and other families was useless, and several well-prepared and powerful families finally won the property.

The Lin, Zhang and other families who were greatly injured were no longer enough to become well-known Chinese families in Borneo.

And the sudden acquisition war that happened in Borneo made the people dazzled. But no matter what, life goes on.

Carl Larsen walked out of the house in a neatly dressed suit and jacket, and his shirt jacket was actually a little uncomfortable in the nearly 30-degree weather.

Carl Larsen didn't mind at all, though, because he needed to meet an important guest today, and he had to be formal.

"Rickshaw!"

Seeing an idle rickshaw in the distance, Carl Larsen's Cantonese came out.

It's been three years since Carl Larsen came to Borneo and Carl Larsen can already speak a lot of everyday Cantonese.

No way, there are too many Chinese in Pontianak, and as a businessman who has to deal with people every day, Carl Larsen has learned a lot of spoken Chinese.

With Carl Larsen's greeting, the rickshaw immediately rushed over.

"Good morning, sir."

The same Italian greeting came out of the mouth of the yellow-skinned coachman.

"Jafulu Larsen Firm."

Comptoirs with their own names were a feature of the era, and Carl Larsen was no exception.

"Okay!"

After determining the address, the coachman dragged Carl Larsen through the streets. The streets are unusually busy in the early morning, with people coming and going, and the roads are also quite crowded, with horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws running through them, and there are many bicycles on both sides of the road, and even cars can be seen.

Of course, on both sides of the street, there is also an endless stream of shops, and the signs echo Chinese and Latin, which is also unique.

As Carl Larsen, who has been in Pontianak for three years, he has long lost his appreciation for this, and his mind is full of things to pay attention to when meeting customers.

"Sir, it's here!"

A greeting called him back from his musings.

"Give!"

"Goodbye, sir."

Carl Larsen's comptoir was not so much a comptoir as a larger shop, but with a room separated for an office.

At present, the business is still in the early stage of development, and in addition to Larsen himself, there is also a clerk and assistant, Maury, and Admiral Yagill, a cleaner, a cook and waiter, and Ms. Song.

That's right, there are only three people in Larsen's trading house, and the small one is pitiful.

However, although the business house is small, it is all dreams and all his net worth for Carl Larsen.

Carl Larsen used to be just a craftsman tinkering with a tailor's machine, and after seeing others make a fortune in Borneo, he became envious and gritted his teeth and became a seller to come to Borneo to work hard.

Considering the cost and familiarity, Carl Larsen came to Pontianak to start his old sewing machine business. Of course, it's no longer just about repairing sewing machines, it's about selling them.

Carl Larsen has a good eye for the industry he has chosen to be less competitive in Borneo and has good prospects. The tailoring machine is not inconspicuous, but it is basically a family necessity, even if it cannot be available in every family, four or five families share one. After all, to make clothes and sewing and mending, how can there be no sewing machine.

Besides, the people of Borneo have always had a good income, and it is still possible to spend a month or two of their salary to buy a tailor machine. And Carl Larsen has developed well in three years, from running a single gang to now having his own store and employees.

"Maury, how am I?"

"Awesome, exactly who you are."

Mori's compliment made Larsen straighten the creases in his pants. "Did Mr. Li call and say, when will he arrive?"

"Anyway, he's about ten o'clock in the morning."

"Oh, it's half past nine, and it's only half an hour before Mr. Li arrives. Maury, let's rehearse the reception process again, I have a new idea. ”

"All right, Mr. Larsen."

…………

"Welcome to Mr. Lee."

Larsen greeted the arrival of the big customers with a smile on his face. The big patron in his mouth is indeed worthy of it, Li Mingkun is also a famous Chinese family in Gaoping, of course, this also has a lot to do with Gaoping. But no matter how you compare, it is much stronger than Larsen, which is simply compared to Kunpeng and Sparrow.

"You're welcome, Mr. Larsen, let's get started."

Faced with Li Mingkun's words, Larsen hurriedly led him to the store.

"Mr. Li, please see, there are only a few kinds of sewing machines sold in our store at present............

Larsen currently sells five types of sewing machines, one from Germany, one from the United Kingdom, and three from Italy. Because it was an Italian colony, German and English tailors had to pay high tariffs, more to satisfy the middle class and above.

The main sales force of Larsen is three Italian tailoring machines, Vega, Morning Glory, and Crown.

"What is the lowest selling price of these three sewing machines, you know how many I need."

After listening to Larsen's introduction, the big customer Li Mingkun asked about the price. Sure enough, the British and German models were directly abandoned, although the performance is really good, but it is too expensive, and one is about to be replaced by two of the cheapest crown cards. He was going to take it back and open a garment factory, and he didn't need such a good machine.

"The Vega card can be reduced by a minimum of 48 lira, and it sells you 160 lira. Morning glory cards can be reduced by 45 lira recently, selling you 150 lira, and the crown card can only be reduced by 40 lira and selling you 140 lira. Of course, this is the price you can buy at least 500 units. ”

In the face of the customer's inquiry, Larsen quickly quoted his price, and finally he answered. "Mr. Li, this price can't be lower than mine in Pontianak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Larsen could only look at the big patron expectantly. And Li Mingkun obviously understood it before, and after pondering for a while, he spoke. "I need a thousand Crown sewing machines, but I have to guarantee a year's maintenance for free."

"No problem, I will arrange a maintenance personnel to stay in your factory at that time."

Larsen, who received the order, was overjoyed and made a guarantee without hesitation. This is the largest order he has received in business, although the unit price profit is very low, but this amount is enough for him to earn a lot of profits, and maybe his wife and children in the local area can also take over.

Life in Borneo is day in and day out, and there are many people like Larsen who make money, and of course many who lose money to sell themselves to plantations. Of course, no matter who it is, Borneo's dream of making a fortune is not missing at all.

And those who make money are the best advertisements, inspiring people who dream of making a fortune to run to this hot land.
