Everyone is in a strange place, and guarding tens of thousands of oceans, you need to remember the task first, safety, and low-key.
But if people have to eat, drink, and sleep, then they can't be stupid in the warehouse.
Ye Wuyan was the youngest, and he felt really bored after a long time, so he proposed to buy something to eat and drink, and by the way, he also wanted to go shopping.
How can he go alone, and he is not the only one who can't bear it, except for Yi Xiaojun who must remain reserved, Wei Zhen feels that his duty is not to go, and several other people want to go out.
And so the other 5 people set off.
Out of the warehouse, it was already past 6 p.m., the sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was sweeping on the sea, which was very beautiful.
Hong Kong's trade is still so prosperous, and there are still many hardworking coolies working on the docks.
For them, carrying a few more bags, it is possible to give the child a late night snack and pull 1 cloth head for the wife.
It is usually difficult for several people living in modern times to feel the happiness of these people at the bottom who struggle for food and clothing.
Hired a boat at the pier and headed all the way to the West Loop. Sai Wan is a man's paradise and a concentration of brothel restaurants.
The streets are lined with dense signs, and the crowds coming in and out, the bustling flow of people, revealing that the bustling night market has begun to sublimate.
Remember Yi Xiaojun, "Don't get syphilis!" ", everyone tasted all the way.
The kiln sisters at the door of these many brothels scratched their heads one by one, but they also had a special charm.
Find a large restaurant, and under the kind greeting of Xiao Er, choose a square table by the window and sit down.
A meal at noon will not satisfy everyone's stomach.
I ordered the restaurant's best signature dishes, such as dry roasted abalone wings, fish cloud stone ears, chicken loin, Huaishan milk pigeon, roasted chicken rolls, chess pieces wrapped in fish, fried three winters, etc.
Everyone began to selectively forget Sven again, and the wine was full, and it cost 86 silver dollars.
Everyone felt that public funds were happy to eat, drink and consume, and asked the store to pack some food and bring them.
As soon as everyone discussed, they did not plan to continue shopping, went to the nearby grocery store, bought some simple daily necessities, and rushed to the dock.
Before the group of 5 people left the bustling street, Yu Guqing was suddenly bumped by someone, and felt that his pocket was touched.
He subconsciously touched his pocket, the silver dollar in his pocket was gone, and he looked up and saw that it was a black and thin young man who hit him.
"There is a thief, catch him!" Yu Guqing shouted while pointing at the thief.
Chen Dahai and Ye were speechless, and immediately reacted, sneaking out more than a dozen steps, one left and one right, casting a grappling hand to detain the young man.
The silver dollar that fell out of the youth's hands proved the identity of the thief.
"Tell you to steal money! Find death! Xiao Ye punched and kicked the youth.
Although this person was beaten and shouted, he did not open his mouth to beg for mercy.
What happened here quickly caused onlookers on the street.
The young man saw that there were many onlookers, and hurriedly shouted: "Help, fake foreign devils beat people, they bully people, I just accidentally bumped into me, just hit me." Beat me to death! The youth took a bite back and asked the onlookers for help.
The onlookers saw a few fake foreign devils beating people, and without asking why, they accused several people and asked them to release them.
Chen Dahai saw that there were many people, and pulled Xiaoye who had to fight again.
He said to the others: "The situation is not good, let's go." Several
people squeezed out of the crowd and, amid the chaotic scolding, headed towards the dock.
Only then did the thief stand up, rub his face that was hurt, look at the backs of the few people who left, and show a hateful look, "Bah, damn fake foreign devil, dare to hit me, you wait for me." The
five people successfully returned to the dock warehouse in Kowloon and brought food to the two people who remained behind.
Most of the crowd still talks about the bustle of the streets, the prostitutes who solicit customers.
The thief's thing was just a passing point, and this little episode didn't make everyone care too much.
One night without words, the next day, the sky drifted with light rain, but this did not affect everyone's arrangement.
Leaving Wei Zhen to watch the house, the other six people walked all the way through countless coolies who worked hard in the wind and rain to the gate of Guangmaotai and asked to meet the Zhao Dongjia.
Zhao Dongjia received a few people, packed up, called a few rickshaws, and even people brought boxes to the foreign bank.
The big brand of Standard Chartered Bank in Chinese and English is particularly obvious, and several people are stunned, this name is familiar, the predecessor of Standard Chartered Bank, this is not a foreign oil company located in Hong Kong, it seems that there is a problem.
Yi Xiaojun and several others touched their heads, since they are here, let's talk first.
Yi Xiaojun, Si Yuankai, Yu Guqing and Zhao Dongjia went in to talk about things.
Xing Buyou and Ye Wuyan guarded the box in the outside hall.
The reception in the inner hall is He Qiming, the Chinese manager of Standard Chartered & Co., Ltd.
"Brother Zhao is coming? Please have a seat. He Qizheng stood up to greet him. Who are these? "Yi Xiaojun and the others don't look like entourage.
"Brother Ho, this is Mr. Yi, a friend of mine, who came to Hong Kong from Nanyang to do business." Zhao Dongjia introduced Yi Xiaojun.
"Manager He is good, contemptible Yi Xiaojun." Yi Xiaojun handed over. He Qiming returned the salute and invited everyone to sit down.
"Mr. Yi came to talk about a deal this time, and the old brother is a red man in front of the foreigners, and this matter depends on the old brother." Zhao Dongjia introduced.
"Oh? Mr. Yi came from Nanyang, there is no shortage of foreign companies, I don't know what kind of business is going to Hong Kong? He Qiming asked.
"We want to buy oil."
"Oil? We sell all foreign oil, that is, kerosene, no oil. He Qiming said.
"Oil is the kind of black oil that can be refined into kerosene, and we want to buy oil. To 2 thousand tons. Can Manager Ho do it? Yi Xiaojun asked.
"Isn't kerosene great? Could it be that Mr. Yi himself uses oil to refine it? This is not cost-effective, 2,000 tons of oil refined kerosene is not much, it is better to buy kerosene directly.
"Thank you Manager He for your kind reminder, we just need oil, I don't know if it's for sale?" Yi Xiaojun insisted.
"There is nothing that a businessman cannot sell, not to mention that Mr. Yi was introduced by Brother Zhao, then I will give you a real price, 2,000 tons, 100,000 silver yuan." The main thing is that the freight is too expensive, and it is not much cheaper than kerosene to transport it. "
Ho Qiming gave a huge difference in price.
"It's too expensive, as far as we know, oil is very cheap in Sumatra, even if the freight is more expensive, it won't cost 100,000 yuan."
Yi Xiaojun almost shouted, so expensive, too TM black.
"Okay, I'll go to the general manager and ask for instructions." He Qiming went out for a spin and drank a cup of tea before coming back.
As soon as he showed up, he said to them, "Mr. Yi, the minimum is 80,000 silver dollars, and if it is lower, I can't do anything."
"Let us discuss." Yi Xiaojun and several people muttered in the distance.
Yu Guqing said: "According to the freight rate at that time plus the price of oil wells in the local area, 30,000 silver yuan is enough, they are black enough, they actually earn more than twice as much." Let's go directly to those oil companies and buy it.
Si Yuankai said: "In this era, foreign devils earn more. How else is it called economic plunder? I see that the owner of this trick has a trick with this Standard Chartered foreign company, and partners with us.
Yi Xiaojun thought for a while: "We have a tight time and heavy task this time. This trick is the line we have finally hit, we can't just cut it off, the pit is the pit, and we have to count on helping us go to Lingao. They will be repaid twice in the future. Since
the leader also recognized it, everyone didn't say anything.
Yi Xiaojun came back to He Qiming and said, "Manager He, the price is 70,000 silver yuan, if not, I won't buy it."
Manager He thought for a while, and then glanced at Zhao Dongjia: "Well, for the sake of Brother Zhao's face, I will bear it on behalf of the general manager, and I don't want my own share."
"Well, thank you Manager He, I didn't bring so many silver dollars for a while, so let's pay a deposit of 30,000 first, and a year later, when we come here to pick up the goods, how about paying the balance?"
Yi Xiaojun thanked on the surface, but secretly scolded the other party in his heart for being treacherous and shameless.
"Okay, then pay a deposit of 30,000 first, for a year, I will wait for Mr. Yi to pick up the goods." I'll just write the contract. After
handing over the silver dollar to He Qiming's subordinates for the list, Yi Xiaojun got the contract, and everyone was polite again, and Yi Xiaojun also felt bored to stay, so he got up and left.
Zhao Dongjia accompanied Yi Xiaojun and several people back to Guangmaotai, and before leaving, Zhao Dongjia smiled at He Qiming, of course he was happy to get more money from this group of Nanyang people.
Back in Guangmaotai, a steward sent a telegram to Zhaodongjia.
Zhao Dongjia smiled after seeing it, and said to Yi Xiaojun: "Mr. Yi, the matter you entrusted me to is done, butler Cen gave a reply, 5,000 silver yuan, you can get the name of Lord Cen." In addition, Steward Cen also mentioned in the telegram that Lord Cen recently planned to build a school in his hometown in Guixi.
How many people thought to themselves, 5 thousand? This Lord Cen is also dark enough. A bunch of corrupt officials, the Qing Dynasty is not extinguished. But I can't reveal the slightest bit of emotion. Yi Xiaojun said to Zhao Dongjia: "Then thank you Lord Cen so much, in this way, we will donate another 5,000 silver dollars to make a small contribution to the matter of building a school for adults." At
this time, the Qing Dynasty had just abolished the imperial examination system, and the wind of building schools in China was blowing, and Cen Chunxuan was one of the main people who canceled the imperial examination system in the book, and donations to help students must also gain his favor.
"Sir's move is really admirable. I will reply to Butler Cen .
"Then there is the owner of Lao, we plan to repair the warehouse in the next few days, and ask the owner to arrange someone to help us run errands."
"No problem, let Ah Ding go, he is my confidant and is very familiar with these. Sir, there is something to do, although it is driven.
Yi Xiaojun thanked and took his leave. I took Ah Ding and a few people back to the warehouse.
Back at the warehouse, he asked Wei Zhen that everything was normal. First, let a few people take 10,000 silver dollars and send it to Guangmaotai, and ask the proprietor to send it to the Cen Mansion, the governor of Guangzhou City and Liangguang.
In the following days, the trade group of 7 people has been running the warehouse to rest.
Ah Ding hired a lot of people to work, the ground was leveled and clean, and brick and stone roads were laid, the warehouse was repaired and strengthened, the walls were raised, and a large dormitory was sorted out in the warehouse.
I also bought some furniture and daily necessities to improve the living environment.
On this day, Ah Ding sent Yi Xiaojun what they were waiting for, Cen Chunxuan's edict and a note.
The above roughly means: "There are returned overseas Chinese businessmen Yi Xiaojun and others who went to the Qiongzhou capital to open mines and build factories, and the local government officials acted cheaply."
"Haha, with this son, we are also official and business, the ocean value of these 10,000 flowers, plus the photo with Cen Chunxuan, then there is no problem."
People who understood the meaning of this were very happy, and Yi Xiaojun carefully put it away. Ah Ding was given 20 silver dollars as a reward.
"Ah Ding, you reply to your family master, thank you for me. Tomorrow we will leave for Qiongzhou. I won't bother the owner. There is also a word for me to convey to your owners, if there is a typhoon disaster in Hong Kong after February, you must be careful and remember. "
Wind disaster? The villain remembers, Mr. Yi, I will tell our family master. If there are no other orders, then I will go back to the errand. Ah
Ding smiled and took his leave after saluting, and when he went out, he thought that this group of Nanyang two devils could still be counted as a tribulation, which was really funny.
Ah Ding saw that the owner handed over the errand: "Sir, the thing has been sent." Listen to them say that they will go to Qiongzhou Island tomorrow.
"Well, I know, after they leave, you let people look at the warehouse, and when they come back, they will report to me immediately."
"Yes, sir, there is another matter, that Mr. Yi actually counts the trigram, he asked me to tell you a word, saying that there will be a typhoon in Hong Kong in 2 months."
"Hehe, Hong Kong has strong winds almost every year. Leave it alone. "
