The housekeeper was familiar with his master's temperament, and knew that this must be the result, so he just asked according to the rules, nodded when he heard the words, and retreated to the side to find someone to take the money to deliver the goods.

In this small forest, in addition to Wu Jianzhang and his group, there are many big people watching from afar, including Lin Aqin, who is known as the number one tycoon in Shanghai.

Lin Aqin watched from a distance for a while, with a lawsuit on his face, and finally turned around and hurried back to his own firm.

Wu Jianzhang was familiar with him and bowed his hand from afar, but Lin Aqin walked in a hurry, and he didn't seem to see it at all, but just walked non-stop, leaving Wu Jianzhang to shake his head secretly, feeling that this person had no concentration, and he was far worse than Zhao Dagui.

Zhao Dagui was busy working in the silk reeling factory for a long time, and Consul Bafur and Gong Mujiu Daotai also came over to express their condolences and ask if there was anything they needed to help.

Zhao Dagui shook his head and said that he could hold it on his side, but he just hoped that the two officials could take care of it, track down the bandits who attacked at night, and give justice to Dagui Commercial Bank.

The two bigwigs clapped their chests loudly, saying that they would definitely find a way to find this group of daring bandits, and then send troops to eliminate them.

Zhao Dagui shook his head secretly in his heart, these two actually heard that the silk reeling factory was stable here before they came over, if something really happened here, they could not deliver the goods on the bill of lading, and they probably would never show up.

However, as an official, this is also the way it should be.

Zhao Dagui was busy at the door all day, and on the two-story small building not far from the door in the silk reeling factory, there were two people who had been in the house looking at the western scenery below.

"This Zhao Dagui is really extravagant, he actually uses transparent glass as a window, how much does it cost. Lin Zhenwei, the chief dart head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, knocked on the glass on the window and said with emotion.

In the Qing Dynasty of this era, the windows were basically made of white paper, and Zhao Dagui installed transparent glass on the western-style building in accordance with the customs of Westerners, which immediately looked much brighter and more magnificent.

"Uncle Shi, what's the matter with this Zhao Dagui, the bandits have all been beaten away by us, and he still has to set fire to his own factory to make such a big battle.

How much money does he have to lose?" Li Yingqiong sat on a chair in Lin Zhenwei's store, and said incomprehensibly.

It turned out that after yesterday's battle, Zhao Dagui was worried that there would be chaos again the next day, so he asked the masters of the Fuwei Dart Bureau to continue to stay in the silk reeling factory, so he arranged for Lin Zhenwei to rest in this small western-style building, and by the way, he was on guard.

"There's something I don't understand about this. Lin Zhenwei couldn't help but shake his head, his niece is strong in martial arts and smart, but she just ignores mundane things and can't understand many things.

"His goods were not damaged last night, and he deliberately set fire to them to make these people anxious, and then take the money to deliver the goods.

I just went down and took a cursory look, from raw silk to tea and foreign cloth, at least five or six hundred thousand goods have been delivered, and Zhao Dagui has made a lot of money. ”

"However, his bill of lading has already been sold and will be delivered sooner or later, so why bother in such a hurry?

I have heard that the machines in the factory are all made of brass, and the price of the raw silk can be guaranteed to be three or four times that of the raw silk, which is a first-class good business.

He lost two factories out of thin air, just to cash in on the goods that had been sold a long time ago, so why bother?"

It turned out that Zhao Dagui has always been decisive, and he pays attention to doing a full set of dramas, once he decided to burn the building, he chose the most critical silk reeling factory to set fire, rather than some inconsequential small building.

Wu Jianzhang and other businessmen are very shrewd, if they didn't know that the key factory where the silk reeling machine was stored was burned, I am afraid that they would have been suspicious a long time ago.

"I heard that those factories were built by Zhao Dagui himself, and it only took a few months before and after, and it would not take too much effort to build them again.

The so-called thousand birds in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand, and it is good to be able to cash out as soon as possible.

And I think Zhao Dagui must have a lot of back-ups, and this time he must be going to pit someone, but we don't know much about business, and we don't understand who he really wants to deal with. Lin Zhenwei shook his head and said.

Lin Zhenwei guessed that it was actually very close to the truth, but he didn't expect that Zhao Dagui was not going to pit a certain person, not even a certain group of people, but almost all of them, that is, all foreign firms, compradors and even money houses in Shanghai.

"This profiteer. Li Yingqiong couldn't help scolding.

After a few days, the turmoil of the Dagui Commercial Bank gradually subsided, and the merchants with the lading list of the Dagui Commercial Bank flocked to the bank, and all the money and goods were delivered, and then they left satisfied.

Zhao Dagui has been controlling the inventory of foreign cloth in his hand within a certain range, but there is a lot of soil silk and tea in his hand, and he took this opportunity to clean up all the inventory, and it is the only remaining bill of lading of some other commercial banks in his hand, and he also took the opportunity to clear all of them.

Others thought he was in a hurry to work on funds, and they were particularly sympathetic.

The gold and silver and silver tickets obtained this time, Zhao Dagui did not deposit them in the familiar money bank as usual, but exchanged them for real money and silver by himself, and found a place to store them secretly.

In fact, since June, the Dagui trading houses have not kept much money in the bank, and have exchanged it for precious metals such as gold and silver and stored it themselves.

After this turmoil, Zhao Dagui and Dagui Commercial Bank gained a lot of fame, everyone felt that after Zhao Dagui suffered a disaster, he could still bear all the losses himself, and cashed in the bill of lading released before, which was very benevolent and righteous, and praised it very much.

"Good man, it's a pity..."Many businessmen sighed, which made Zhao Dagui listen to it very unpleasantly.

Another thing is that after this turmoil, Dagui Commercial Bank officially withdrew from the bill of lading business and no longer accepted the reservation of goods, everyone felt that Zhao Dagui was disheartened and did not want to do this piece anymore, and felt very sorry.

At the same time, there are also many people who feel that this is a good opportunity, how to say that Dagui Commercial Bank is also a giant in Shanghai's foreign trade industry, its exit will inevitably form a huge gap, so there are many people gearing up to fill the huge market space left by Zhao Dagui.

However, they are destined to have no chance.

After clearing the inventory of the Dagui Commercial Bank, it also transferred some of the bills of lading of other commercial banks held in its hands at a low price, and everyone thought that this was because the Dagui Commercial Bank needed cash to make up for the loss, and they didn't care.

The value of the bill of lading transferred by Dagui Commercial Bank is 20,000 yuan, not a few, after this transfer, the price of goods in the entire bill of lading market has dropped slightly, but even at this time, everyone feels that this is only temporary, and did not pay much attention.

Then, the previously booming bill of lading business began to encounter an increasingly strong shock, and the prices of raw silk, tea and foreign cloth continued to fall at a very rapid rate.

At first, everyone was not alert, but they thought that the last time Zhao Dagui cleared hundreds of thousands of goods, and cashed out a large number of bills of lading, occupying a large amount of money in the market, the market cooled down for a while, and it will recover after a while.

However, as time went by, the prices of various commodities continued to fall, especially foreign cloth, which almost fell off a cliff and showed no signs of rebounding at all.

Many people became alert and wanted to transfer the bill of lading in their hands at a low price, but found that no one was willing to take over.
