While Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong were drinking tea and chatting in the main hall of Baozhilin's backyard, footsteps outside the door came from far and near.
Huang Feihong and Thirteenth Aunt came in and exchanged greetings with Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong before the host and guest took their seats again.
"This trip to Guangzhou, Mr. Huang is indeed a bit arrogant!"
Without waiting for Wu Dong to ask, Huang Feihong took the initiative to briefly describe his experience in Guangzhou.
Finally, he shook his head and said: "If the country is not strong, foreigners will not give Huang a chance to speak!"
Tsk, I was finally hit by the cruel reality.
Wu Dong didn't feel any surprise about this.
The plot of the movie is just nonsense, doesn’t it lead to nothing in the end?
On the other side, Aunt Thirteen was very talkative. When she saw Wu Dong himself, she first asked him if he was injured, and then talked about what he had seen on the dock.
"A Dong, I heard that the management method at the dock and the series of institutions were all created by you?"
Aunt Thirteen praised: "I have stayed in England for such a long time and have walked through many ports and terminals!"
“But this is the first time I’ve seen such a clean, tidy and well-organized pier like Foshan Pier!”
Wu Dong smiled slightly and said leisurely: "As long as you work hard, it's not difficult at all!"
Imperialist countries, especially the current colonial-imperialist countries, want their top officials to pay attention to the life and death of the people at the bottom. That is really a joke.
At this time, there was no such thing as a modern port terminal.
Wu Dong only used some modern methods in the management of the wharf, and the current situation of Foshan Wharf was achieved.
Compared to a truly modern terminal, it is far behind. At least in terms of equipment, there is no comparison at all.
Aunt Thirteen's pretty face was right in front of him, but he didn't have any exciting thoughts, but felt that the opportunity was rare.
"Aunt Thirteen, have you ever been to Bao Zhilin's pharmaceutical workshop?"
"I heard Feihong talk about it, but I haven't seen it!"
"I think it's better for Aunt Thirteen to go take a look!"
Wu Dong smiled and suggested: "Maybe Aunt Thirteen will find it a surprise!"
"Oh, really, then I really want to go take a look!"
Aunt Thirteen suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "I wonder what you mean by suddenly mentioning this, Dong?"
"At that time, Aunt Thirteen will understand!"
Wu Dong smiled slightly and said goodbye to Huang Feihong, who looked at him with a rather unkind look: "Master Huang, I won't disturb your rest!"
"If anything happens, just send someone over to let us know!"
After saying that, he greeted Yan Zhendong, who also stood up, and planned to leave directly.
"Wait!"
Huang Feihong suddenly said: "If you don't tell me, I really forgot. When I was at the dock before, I did find something wrong!"
As he spoke, he told what he had discovered about hundreds of foreigners in the audience.
"There are hundreds of foreigners in the audience?"
Wu Dong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said with a smile: "I understand and will send someone to find out the situation. Don't worry, Master Huang!"
These words were not just words. As soon as Baozhilin came out, manpower was immediately arranged to investigate.
A lot of foreigners came to Foshan all of a sudden, which was definitely not a good thing. Otherwise, how could he not have heard anything about it before?
that's the truth……
At this time, representatives of this group of foreigners were meeting with local officials at the local government office in Foshan.
That’s right, it’s an appointment rather than a visit!
Without waiting for the owner to arrive, several foreigners sat on the chairs and chatted, looking arrogant.
"Everyone, I wonder what's the point of this sudden visit?"
The boss of the Foshan Yamen came in. He was unhappy and didn't bother to say anything, so he went straight to the point and asked.
"Nothing, we want to take over the management rights of Foshan Terminal, and I hope you can issue a formal document as soon as possible!"
The foreign leader sat on the chair and said directly: "We are in a hurry!"
The boss of the Foshan Yamen was anxious and said angrily: "Did I hear you correctly? Do you want the management rights of Foshan Wharf?"
"Indeed!"
Another foreigner spoke in a very arrogant tone: "Otherwise, how could we come from Guangzhou? You'd better write the article as soon as possible!"
Horse, what a huge appetite...
The face of the Foshan Yamen boss changed slightly. He couldn't help but take a breath. He opened his mouth wide for these foreign lions and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
However, the foreigners did not give him face and urged him again.
"I can't decide this matter!"
The foreigners didn't show any respect, so the Foshan Yamen boss was not polite either, and started playing the smoothest form of Tai Chi.
"Then who can decide?"
The leader of the foreigners said in a bad way: "I hope you can give me a conclusive explanation, otherwise it will delay the matter and you will not get anything good to eat!"
Being threatened by foreigners face to face, Foshan Yamen boss Hao Xuan did not explode on the spot.
Of course, he also knew that even if it broke out in person, it would be useless. The court would never allow local officials to conflict with foreigners without authorization.
Fighting back his frustration, he said angrily: "The Guangzhou Governor's Yamen and the Governor's Affairs Yamen are all here!"
"As long as they proceed, I will naturally not stop them!"
With that said, he directly served tea to the guests without bothering to play any tricks of modesty and politeness.
A bunch of foreigners didn't care about this. After getting a solid answer, they said goodbye and turned around to leave, not paying any attention to the ugly face of the Foshan Yamen boss.
"Sir, they are..."
The master, who had been standing nearby silently, couldn't hold back his curiosity and spoke at this time.
"Humph, these guys are ignorant of etiquette, justice and shame!"
The Foshan Yamen boss said disdainfully: "Aren't you interested in the interests of Foshan Terminal and want to rob it?"
Silk……
The master couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, shook his head repeatedly and said: "Are you really so audacious? Do you think that the vigilante group is easy to provoke?"
"No matter whether the vigilante group is easy to provoke or not, let's not get involved indiscriminately!"
The Foshan Yamen boss sneered: "Wait a minute, remember to send a message to the militia to let them know the foreigners' plans in advance!"
The master nodded quickly in agreement, but in his heart he was thinking about whether to withdraw the money invested in the pier. Seeing that there was going to be a storm on the pier, it was no longer safe.
At this moment, the Admiral of Guangdong Province, who had been staying in Foshan and had not left, hurriedly walked in from the door.
Ignoring the astonishment of the Foshan Yamen boss, he asked directly: "Are the foreigners who came here just now trying to plot Foshan Pier?"
"exactly!"
The boss of Foshan Yamen nodded hurriedly and said unhappily: "Those foreigners are too arrogant and rude, they really don't deserve to be the sons of men!"
"Have you notified the vigilante group?"
"not yet……"
"Then don't notify me yet, let's wait and see what happens..."
