After some hard work, all the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall came forward to persuade the furious Lei Hu, and at the same time sent the seriously injured interpreter away in a hurry.
Anyway, what the foreigners asked him to spread has been brought to him, and it would be the same with or without him.
This guy is also a mean-tongued man. Originally, he could just leave once the words were heard, but he had to stay and urge him with all his strength. He was also full of sarcasm and spoke rudely. Now he must be punished, he deserves it!
Of course, not only the injured fake foreign devil, but also the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall were shocked by Lei Hu's sudden display of violence.
They really didn't expect that Lei Hu would have such a violent temper and would take action at the slightest disagreement. It was great, but the consequences were unpredictable.
Only Qin Bao was thoughtful. Recalling the power of Lei Hu's punch from several meters away, he had a bold guess in his mind. He twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but smile.
Ahu's strength has obviously improved greatly!
"Thunder Tiger, have you gone too far?"
"That's right, it really offends the foreigners, and our life will not be easy!"
"Don't just think about solving problems with your fists all day long, and don't look at who the other party is?"
"..."
Except for the hall leader Qin Bao, the other senior officials have long been unhappy with Lei Hu, the hall's most profitable terminal business. He is in control of this guy, so it is natural that he is blocking the way for others to make money.
If you can't get a favor, you will definitely have a good time if you seize the opportunity at this time.
As for the idea of defeating Lei Hu, the senior officials at Tangkou have never thought about it.
They are not fools. For Zhongyi Hall to have developed to its current level, the public knows who has made the most contribution. Naturally, they will not let the biggest contributor really fall. When the mess is broken, they will not be able to clean it up.
"That's enough. There's no need to say these words. What do you think of Ahu?"
Qin Bao stopped the complaints from the senior officials in the hall, looked at Lei Hu and asked, "Ahu, what do you think of this incident?"
"I'll go talk to the foreigners first and see what they think before we talk about anything else!"
Lei Hu looked calm, not affected by those strange words at all, and directly took over the matter.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the senior officials in the hall, including Qin Bao, all breathed a sigh of relief, and even the atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot.
Tsk!
For these guys being so afraid of foreigners, Lei Hu couldn't be too harsh. This era is so fucked up. According to the normal trend of history, it will be even more fucked up in the future. There is no need to be too harsh.
"Well, Ahu will have full authority to represent Zhongyitang and talk to those foreigners. As long as the other party's demands are not excessive, anything can be said!"
Qin Bao expressed his position directly and gave Lei Hu the greatest autonomy. Although the other senior officials in the hall felt unhappy, they did not want to make themselves uncomfortable by stepping forward at this time.
After accepting the task, Lei Hu did not stay at the entrance of the hall for long. After going out, he summoned a group of his confidants and swaggered to the dock. A group of foreigners and merchants had been waiting for a long time.
This group of foreign merchants behaved quite calmly and could not help but be restless. There were still 300 young and murderous militiamen sitting on the dock, and all their swords, guns and firearms were displayed, although they were much worse than the modern army.
, but it is extremely intimidating against weak maritime merchants.
With the help of the interpreters they invited, Lei Hu communicated very smoothly with the foreign merchants, and he also understood their thoughts.
Since you can't get more profits by relying on your strength, then just do business honestly.
This group of foreigners were also straightforward enough. They revealed all the troubles they encountered in life during their stay at Chancheng Wharf and asked Zhongyi Tang to help solve them.
It's easy!
Lei Hu agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, this was a good thing. It could definitely turn into a big business, and maybe even an entertainment city.
There is no way, apart from the supply of food, vegetables, meat and drinking water, the biggest troubles encountered by foreigners when their ships are stationed are caused by the idleness of the sailors on board.
In other words, sailors on sea ships have strong consumer demands, but there is no such supply at the dock. It would be strange if things don't cause trouble over time.
"Did those foreigners really say that?"
After hearing Lei Hu's report, all the senior officials in the hall were shocked and dumbfounded. They never expected that the foreigners would have such an idea.
"Of course!"
Lei Hu looked matter-of-fact and said calmly: "These guys came all the way to the east just to seek money!"
"But haven't foreign devils always behaved arrogantly and domineeringly? When did they become so easy to talk to?"
A senior official in the hall still felt that it was not true and couldn't help but ask: "I don't believe it, what about you?"
The other senior executives shook their heads, they didn't believe it either.
"You must have confidence in the strength of Zhongyi Hall!"
Seeing this, Lei Hu was dumbfounded and suggested: "The foreign devils who often come to Chancheng Wharf are not very strong themselves. If they can't do it through force, they can only do business honestly. Anyway, they can make money!"
Qin Bao was shocked when he heard this and said decisively: "In that case, let's make a good operation. This time we will make a lot of money from the foreign devils!"
"Hehe, the hall master is right!"
Immediately, a senior executive at the hall echoed, "Isn't it just a tavern and brothel? We are very familiar with these businesses, and it is extremely simple to do it!"
These words attracted enthusiastic responses from the senior officials of Yigantang. After all, Zhongyi Tang is still a gang organization, so it is naturally very familiar with these gray industries. Some senior officials are making money in this business.
Lei Hu smiled lightly. The dock was an area he managed, and he had the final say on how to handle it.
Naturally, he would not be like the bunch of bumpkins in front of him who only engaged in simple gray industries. When Lei Hu came back, he had already planned to build an entertainment city at the dock to integrate food, drink and fun.
Not only must the sailors on the sea-going ships be squeezed dry, but the money must also be extracted from the extremely rich merchants, and they must be willing to do so, otherwise the ability of Lei Hu as a time-traveling person will not be shown.
After the high-level officials at Tangkou reached an agreement, a large number of construction manpower and materials soon gathered at the dock, and started working in accordance with the area planned by Lei Hu.
First, several taverns were built, and then brothels were erected. With Lei Hu's intervention and intimidation, the girls in the brothels were all from the Annan area. He would never allow me to harm the girls in the Qing Dynasty. Who would
None of the above mentioned items are sufficient.
Then, brick and wood buildings rose from the ground one after another, and soon a simple version of the entertainment city was built and put into use in just half a year. The business became extremely prosperous from the opening, attracting the rest of the gangs in Chan City to lay claim to their influence.
His mouth was watering, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
No way, who said that the main consumers of the entertainment city are foreigners...
