Forty-two days later, on October 16, the second explosive news blew Lang Feng up.

Wan Taihe borrowed 100,000 taels of silver to the North Korean government again to help the North Korean government settle the interest on the loan from the First Bank of Japan!

Two hundred thousand taels!

A full 200,000 taels!

Two hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, let alone two hundred thousand taels in a short period of time! At that time, 40,000 taels of silver was enough to open a bank in Seoul, and 200,000 taels was an unimaginable amount of money at the time.

How bold is Padrielson?

What exactly does he want to do?

Soon, the truth emerged.

"Port of Busan!" Lang Yong smashed his favorite teacup, "Brother! Patrick asked Lord Yuan to take care of North Korea and asked for the customs duties of Busan Customs! ”

Port of Busan, Port of Incheon, Seoul.

Two ports and a hub echo each other in the distance, just geographically enclosing the Korean Peninsula.

Lang Feng's face turned pale, and his voice was not as firm as before: "Not enough!" The customs duties in Busan are not much either......"

"Brother!" Lang Yong couldn't wait to wake up Lang Feng, "Do you see what Bai Jiesheng wants for that tariff!" What he wants is, I'm afraid that what he wants is the right to transport red ginseng! ”

Red ginseng is the largest export income of Chinese businessmen in South Korea.

Patrick Jerson's geographical encirclement of North Korea, is he preparing for himself to snatch the right to transport red ginseng? Does Patrison Jabsen intend to export red ginseng?

climbed to the officials stationed in South Korea and mastered the export of red ginseng, what is 200,000 taels of silver?

"Hurry up and ask!" Lang Feng hissed, "Is the tax silver of red ginseng in the scope of loan repayment?" ”

What Lang Feng thinks of, everyone can think of. For a time, there was a great earthquake for Chinese businessmen in East Asia, and countless letters flew back and forth along the business network, all speculating.

Unexpectedly, in the repayment details given by North Korea to Bai Jiesheng, there was no tax money for red ginseng. In other words, Patrick did not get the exclusive right to transport red ginseng.

Far from being happy, Lang Feng became even more worried.

If it's not red ginseng, what does Patrickson want?

Caogu special transport right?

Or for his home base, rice beans, to ask for tax cuts?

Soon, the tax money at Busan Customs also bottomed out.

Even the combined Incheon Customs and Busan Customs were unable to repay the huge debt of 200,000 taels.

Soon, the DPRK, under the pressure of debt, declared:

Grant Pak Jackson the right to river navigation between Incheon and Seoul and the right to open a steamship route on the Han River!

Watercourse!

Lang Feng's chest seemed to have been hit by a boulder, his chest was in sharp pain, his eyes were dark, countless tiny Venus appeared, his mouth was full of bitterness, and Lang Yong's roar in his ears also turned into buzzing tinnitus.

It turned out that Bai Jiesheng was fighting the idea of buying the river with 200,000 taels!

The Mantae Harmony has suffered losses several times before, and it is short of the Incheon-Seoul logistics network. If Wantaihe obtains the right to river navigation, it means that Wantaihe is really unstoppable from now on!

"Don't be afraid." Lang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Others won't do anything to watch Wantaihe's family sit big." He pushed Lang Yong, "Go quickly, go and contact other businesses in the name of the East Gang, everyone must sit down and talk." ”

Lang Yong understood that this was the meaning of working together to encircle and suppress Wantaihe.

After several round-ups, the Chinese businessmen were furious, and the heart of the encirclement and suppression of Bai Jiesheng was high, and the hearts of the Lang brothers settled down a little, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Unexpectedly, before the opportunity came, the Chinese businessmen were stunned by the second blockbuster news.

At a banquet attended by Lang Yong, news came from the mouth of British Prime Minister Wilkensen in Seoul. Wickenson also sent a special letter to Kony, the minister in Beijing at the time, to talk about the news, which was by no means fictional.

Tang Shaoyi came forward to help Wantaihe export red ginseng.

This was originally a commercial act, but Tang Shaoyi was Yuan Shikai's staff, which made this matter confusing.

What's more, this export is not another export, and Tang Shaoyi did not pay taxes.

Commonly known as smuggling.

According to Wilkenson, three to four days before Tang Shaoyi returned to China, he received a rebate of 2 yuan per kilogram of red ginseng from Wan Tai He, and transported more than 150 suitcases of red ginseng to the embassy in South Korea.

The next day, Tang Shaoyi, escorted by warships, took the "Hanyang" and arrived at Inchon from Yongsan.

After arriving, Tang Shaoyi immediately transferred to the "Jindong" docked at the port of Incheon, and the "Zhendong" belonged to the steamship China Merchants.

Tang Shaoyi took advantage of his diplomatic status and did not accept any customs inspection, so he brought red ginseng back to China in a grand manner to evade customs taxes.

"Patrick Jason is really bold." Lang Yong sneered, "Joining forces with Lord Tang to smuggle red ginseng, you can earn at least 20,000 yuan this time." ”

"Don't talk too much." Lang Feng reprimanded, "Behind Lord Tang is President Yuan's office, and this matter is not something you and I can get involved in." ”

Seeing Lang Yong's expression, Lang Feng shouted, "I can't control you now?" ”

Lang Yong stayed in North Korea for some time and matured a lot. Hearing this, he "hummed" and turned away coldly.

Bai Jiesheng relied on red ginseng to make a lot of money, and the Chinese businessmen naturally couldn't sit on his own and grow stronger, so they pushed the Shandong Gang as the leader to discuss the encirclement and suppression.

On the other hand, Patrick Jackson acted as if he didn't care, ignoring everyone's small actions.

Mantae-hwa obtained the right to ship the river from Incheon to Seoul and the right to open the Hangang steamship route, and established a steamship company, Tonghye Company, officially known as "Tonghye Shallow Water Small Steamship Company".

Soon, the Lang brothers knew why Patrickson was so contemptuous.

Caught off guard, Wantaihe actually released a prospectus!

"Recruit Chinese and Korean shares, purchase and transport small ferries, and load official rice passengers and goods; The total amount of capital is 30,000 yuan, divided into 300 shares, 100 yuan per share, and one cent of interest per year."

Offering?

The way to heaven of Wantaihe and Bai Jiesheng's wrist are all seen in the eyes of all Chinese businessmen. Didn't he give money to everyone?

This is tantamount to a major earthquake in the East Asian Chinese business circle.

When Lang Feng learned the news, his eyes finally went dark and he fainted to the ground.

Lang Feng fainted and fell to the ground, and Lang Yong was anxious. Most of the business companions who used to be close to each other avoided them, and Lang Yong knew that under Bai Jiesheng's concession offensive, their position had already wavered a little.

"Good means, good means." When Lang Feng woke up, he smiled bitterly, "First he deliberately released the wind to make everyone covet his profits on red ginseng, and then just gave a little profit, and cleanly dismantled our encirclement and suppression of him!" His steamship company also leveraged greater capital as a result! ”

Lang Yong's voice was hoarse: "Brother, what should I do?" Now that Pajerson has sold 152 shares, the managers who used to support us have changed their ways! ”

Lang Feng smiled bitterly: "Businessmen are very profitable. Ah Yong, now the people around Bai Jiesheng are already the same size as the Shandong Gang. ”

Lang Yong's face showed a fierce light: "That's also the same scale." From then on, meeting on a narrow road is really a life-and-death situation. ”

"Yes." Lang Feng said loudly, "From now on, it will be your life and death." With me without him, with him without me! ”
