Therefore, when Hu Xueming faced Fang Linyan's rebuttal, he was speechless for a moment and couldn't find anything to say.
Fang Linyan immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued him, shouting:
"The Qiao family is so shameless and doesn't care about basic moral principles!"
At this time, it was inevitable that there would be some nefarious people who didn't know the cause and effect. Fang Linyan didn't mind the trouble and told him the story in detail.
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Da Dao Wang Wu also rushed over with more than twenty experts from Yuan Shun, only to see the chaos in this stall.
Wang Wu also acted very steadily, telling his men to be calm, and then sent a few people to inquire. After figuring out the ins and outs, Ma Kui took the lead and said:
"When I met Mr. Hu yesterday, he was talking about himself, and there was no basis for what he said. But there are so many businessmen in this place, and the Hu family has only fallen into decline in the past three or five years. If Mr. Hu is a fake, there is no way that others will recognize him.
If you don’t come out, after what happened, at least Master Hu’s family background cannot be faked.”
Ma Kui is a veteran, and he is very particular about hiding half of what he says. In fact, the implication is that since family background cannot be faked, the rest is probably true.
Wang Wu usually trusted Ma Kui very much, and he nodded slightly when he heard this, so several smart agents from the escort agency fished in troubled waters nearby, fanned the flames, and helped Fang Linyan make the matter bigger. Not long after, even the people outside Chongwen Gate
Several Green Camp soldiers on duty gathered around to watch the fun with their hands folded.
Of course, some idle people asked them why they didn't maintain order, and the soldier spat in his face:
"Didn't you see that a foreigner was involved in this matter? When our guard came, he was given a bonus of ten taels. After looking at the foreigner, he turned around and left like a gourd. How many damn things do I have?
How dare you get involved in this matter?"
Seeing that things were getting louder and louder, while the big shopkeepers were all worried, the third master of the Qiao family who was in charge of the capital finally rushed over from the Qiao family's main business: the Dade Pass Bank.
The Qiao family has been able to develop to its current scale because of several outstanding people. The leader among them is Zhiyong, the second master of the Qiao family.
But there are three gangs of heroes. Mr. Qiao who arrived at this time is also known for his resoluteness, shrewdness and ability. He almost knew the ins and outs on the way. He had already made fun of the stupid big shopkeeper a hundred times in his heart, and he was also determined about the next step.
"Crisis Public Relations" (of course there was no such title at this time)
As soon as Mr. Qiao arrived at this time, he immediately did something.
This matter directly grasped the core of the problem. The other party, Lin Yan, made a fist salute, and then said in a loud voice:
"This matter today is the fault of the Qiao family! Any losses incurred will be borne by the Qiao family, which will cause trouble to Brother Hu!"
At this time, Fang Linyan hadn't spoken yet, but someone in the crowd already said in a strange tone:
"As the leader of a business gang, the Qiao family has broken the rules. This is no longer a matter of compensation for losses, but also a penalty! This is a business of 700,000 taels, and at least 20% of the penalty will be imposed!"
Mr. Qiao was really decisive in killing and said:
"When did the Qiao family dare to do something and not take it seriously? I accept a 40% penalty!"
After saying this sentence, the people present were quiet for a while, and then at least 50% to 60% of the people expressed their envy for Lin Yan, and of course their admiration for the third master of the Qiao family!
This is not seven taels, seventy taels, or 40% of seven hundred taels. This is 40% of 700,000 taels, which is a total of 280,000 taels of silver. The third master of the Qiao family smashed it out in one breath!!
Not to mention anything else, this kind of courage that puts wealth over fame is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Fang Linyan made a fuss here for a long time today, which actually caused a lot of damage to the Qiao family's reputation.
But under the background of these 280,000 taels of silver, everyone will say that the third master of the Qiao family is heroic. Everyone makes mistakes when he heard about it.
I paid 180,000 taels of silver to admit my mistake.
Not only will the Qiao family's reputation not be damaged, but it will be talked about as the story spreads. This is the original version of viral MLM.
But at this time, Fang Linyan laughed and said:
"Master Qiao is so generous. I really feel ashamed that I don't deserve it. I dare not accept such a generous gift!"
"Well, as a matter of loyalty to others, I promised Mr. Laurent that I would do my best to help him purchase sugar and kerosene. If the third master can exchange this money for 40,000 barrels of kerosene,
, then this matter ends here.”
At that time, a barrel of kerosene sold for 50 taels of silver, and Fang Linyan asked for 40,000 barrels of kerosene. The Qiao family had already taken a big advantage, not to mention that the selling price of 5 taels of silver was the market price. If the Qiao family made a bulk purchase, they could even get the price.
More than three taels of silver per bucket.
Therefore, for now, the Qiao family can at least save 178,000 taels of silver. For Mr. Qiao, what he wants is the gimmick that "the Qiao family is willing to compensate 280,000 taels of silver." Is it real money?
Wouldn't he feel bad if he took it out?
So after hearing what Fang Linyan said, the third master of the Qiao family took a deep look at Fang Linyan, thinking that this rising star of the Hu family was not an ordinary person, but he still knew how to humble himself, so he smiled and said:
"Since my nephew said so, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Then the third master of the Qiao family stretched out his hand towards Fang Linyan and said:
"Come, please come inside."
Then he winked at the steward who was following him, and the steward immediately went in to arrange various things. Firstly, he was preparing the goods, and secondly, he wanted to prevent the big shopkeeper who was in charge of this place from escaping.
It's just that the third master of the Qiao family didn't expect that Fang Linyan would dig a hole for him here. After all, he was neither a god nor a time traveler. How could he know that war between China and Japan was about to begin? The war was already in full swing in North Korea, but yet it was so...
Did a naval war begin? And was the attack on British merchant ships the trigger?
In fact, before this, no matter how bold the prophet was, he would not dare to attack the ships of a super empire like the United Kingdom, which is only a small country in Japan.
At this time, the two parties have reached a settlement, and such a big news has been broken. The onlookers are also satisfied. The next step is the corresponding handover procedures, and the third master of the Qiao family uses his connections and authority to adjust the goods.
After completing this series of procedures, the third master of the Qiao family looked at Fang Linyan and said loudly:
"I will treat you with admiration after three days of separation. I dare to call you my nephew. I only look at your performance today. How can it be related to your reputation as a dissolute person in the past?"
"Here we go again, here we go again!" Fang Linyan cursed in his heart.
For the first time, he realized that legend does not seem to be that easy to use. But at this time, he couldn't refute it! He could only force a smile and said:
"Third Master is right."
Soon, the steward next to the third master of the Qiao family finished handling all the matters, and Fang Linyan immediately stood up and said goodbye:
"I have been entrusted by others to be loyal. Now Mr. Laurent is urging me very urgently. I have to go and take care of all the warehousing matters first. I will come to visit Mr. Qiao another day."
The third master of the Qiao family nodded with a smile, waved to him and said:
"Go, go, go. Back then, Mr. Xueyan was very good at handling foreign affairs. He was able to strategize among the major foreign forces, and he was good at dancing! It seems from today that you have learned his true legacy, and you have the style of a general."
Hearing what the third master of the Qiao family said with a smile, and seemed to have no grudges about what happened before, Fang Linyan's heart moved, he stood up and said seriously:
"Then I'll take my leave now. I've offended a lot today. I'll come back to kowtow to Third Master later to apologize!"
The third master of the Qiao family said calmly:
"We are talking about business, and the shopping mall is like a battlefield. The reason why you are raising an issue today is because our Qiao family has made a big mistake in doing things. That is our Qiao family's own problem. If you hadn't come to point out this matter, then sooner or later this pustule would have
It will be exposed by others, so don’t worry about it.”
Fang Linyan nodded, still feeling very emotional in his heart. Among the three heroes of the Qiao family, Mr. Qiao, who is ranked last, has such a big heart. How magnanimous is Mr. Zhi Yong, who is ranked first? It's really amazing.
Fascinating.
After Fang Linyan left, the third master of the Qiao family smiled at Hu Xueming who was sitting next to him:
"Master Hu Qi, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for a year, right?"
Hu Xueming showed off in front of Fang Linyan and looked very arrogant. However, even when Hu Xueyan was around, the three brothers of the Qiao family were still able to compete with them. He was originally a mediocre person, but now he faced the three brothers of the Qiao family.
But my question was also submissive:
"Well, yes, the last time we met was at the Gaishi Tower in Hangzhou!"
What Hu Xueming did not say was that the third master of the Qiao family was on the top floor of the Peerless Building, sharing a table with the magistrate and others, but he worked hard to get to the table with him on the ground floor. The two can be said to be the same.
There is a huge difference.
The third master of the Qiao family looked at the direction Fang Linyan was leaving and said thoughtfully:
"I think your nephew is a good talker and a talented person. I'm afraid there were many anecdotes from your Hu family that were untrue."
Mentioning Fang Linyan, Hu Xueming became angry and immediately said:
"No, no, that's not the slightest bit exaggerated. This bastard was a pervert back then. Not only did he tease the maid, but he even didn't let go of his sister-in-law. Is he still a human being?"
"This time, if the second oldest member of their generation had not gotten sick, there would be no one available, and it would not be his turn to show his face."
"Our father-in-law collected ten thousand taels of silver and asked him to help Mr. Li Mengli. Oh, he went straight to the capital and lent money to foreigners. Alas, this beast has no business at all.
He should be released!"
The third master of the Qiao family felt a little excited when he heard the word "Li Meng".
No matter what the world is like, if you want to make your business bigger, you must rely on official power.
It can be said that the Hu family's intention to burn the cold stove and go to the second Zuozhongtang is obvious. However, can't others do what the Hu family can do? For example, within the Qiao family, all the records of Jin Shen are recorded
Officials have conducted detailed discussions.
Unfortunately, Mr. Li Mengli was assigned to the "White Letter Book" within the Qiao family. What does the White Letter Book mean?
It can be intuitively understood that the word "白" means white, which means "white-eyed wolf".
Therefore, in the eyes of the third master of the Qiao family, it was certainly a very wise choice for Fang Linyan to have a BJ despite the pressure from his family.
It's hard to judge him for lending the money to the foreigner, but what is certain is that it was definitely more cost-effective than using it to flatter Li Meng.
As for the affairs of Mr. Hu Liu, the third master of the Qiao family was even more dismissive. When he was young, he was greedy for beauty and it was not unusual for him to do anything. He had seen too many dirty things in the big house.
To him, being a good woman is really not a big deal. As long as he doesn't smoke or gamble, he is really ahead of 90% of the sons of aristocratic families (rich second generation).
Just look at the sixth son of the Hu family who is calm and unhurried when faced with emergencies. He is cautious before doing things. He is neither humble nor overbearing when communicating with himself. When faced with 280,000 taels of silver, he actually knows the gains and losses and knows how to advance and retreat! This is
It can be said that few people of his generation can compare with him.
When Hu Xueming saw Mr. Qiao being silent, he thought his words had touched his heart, so he said bitterly:
"This little bastard thinks he has hooked up with foreigners and is superior to others by becoming a comprador. Look what kind of goods they sell? Things like kerosene and sugar! The steamships from the West can bring back ten or eight ships at will.
Damn these bastards!"
There is a saying that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. When Mr. Qiao said this to Hu Xueming, his heart suddenly thumped.
Among the foreigners he knew, without exception, they were all quite shrewd and powerful! That Laurent was silent but very imposing. He bought sugar and kerosene in large quantities, which was definitely profitable.
Mr. Qiao has been thinking about this issue before! But under normal circumstances, it is really hard to see that these two goods have the possibility of skyrocketing. Judging from the trends in previous years, until the Chinese New Year, these two goods
Only then will there be an increase.
At this time, Hu Xueming's words suddenly woke him up. There is a possibility that these two goods will skyrocket, that is, the ships from the Western Ocean will not be able to arrive!!
Nowadays, ocean shipping is almost entirely controlled by foreigners. The Chinese have very little say, so of course they cannot get any inside information.
In this case, Mr. Qiao simply served tea to see the guests off, and then directly called a few confidants to consider it carefully. However, there were different opinions. Some thought Mr. Qiao's inference was reasonable, and some thought it was a bit unreasonable.
Catching wind and shadow.
But in the end, a steward’s words made Mr. Qiao make up his mind. The steward said:
"Actually, to put it bluntly, there are only two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that this foreigner knows some inside information, so if we follow him, we will definitely make money without losing any money."
"The second possibility is that this foreigner doesn't know any inside information and is just gambling. Let's see if the boss has the courage to take a gamble with him."
Mr. Qiao thought about the steward's words for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and said:
"When you say that, it's really interesting! Damn it, I, Qiao Laosan, really want to take a gamble with this foreigner!"
"We still have three hundred thousand taels of silver on the counter! Take all of it and gamble with them. If sugar and kerosene are not easy to get, then buy similar foreign goods."
Now that Mr. Qiao has given the order, the rest of the people are speechless and respectful. Now is the time when the Qiao family is at its peak. The two major bank accounts, Dadetong and Dadeheng, are connected to the world, and there are already banks.
The prototype of.
The fixed assets exceed 20 million taels, and even the working capital in the bank account is 7 to 8 million taels. As the second-largest person in the family, Qiao Sanye is the leader of the capital bank bank, and he needs to use 300,000 taels of silver.
That's really not a big deal.
The power to the community was cut off at 11:52. The call came in just now.
