The sun at the end of May has already gained a certain amount of heat, and people on the street are wearing single clothes. This is a good time to take a nap, and Zhang Agou is walking on the street wearing a new outfit.
Two neighbors who bumped into each other talked about Zhang Agou who passed by. "Now that Agou is prosperous, he is valued by foreigners and helps them do things. He may become a big comprador in the future."
"Yes, you are really lucky. Last month I couldn't afford to eat, but now I'm shaking." There was a sour tone in this person's words.
After Zhang Agou heard the discussion between the two people behind him, he became more energetic when walking, and his bones became two ounces lighter.
"Agou, rest now. I have to go out to do some errands." Uncle Hu, who was selling chaos at the alley, greeted Agou Zhang with a kind smile.
"Yes, Mr. Stree has so many things to do in a day, and it's only hard for me to run errands. Who makes it difficult for these foreign adults to take care of them? It's really a hard life." Zhang Agou told Uncle Hu about his life.
It was painful, but from the proud look on his face, you couldn't tell that he was suffering.
"Young Master, you have to eat when you are busy with things. The Chaos I gave you is your uncle Hu's invitation." Uncle Hu picked up a bowl of Chaos and handed it to Zhang Agou.
"Uncle Hu, just tell him if you have something to do. Your bowl of chaos is not delicious." Zhang Agou knew that Uncle Hu, who was smiling in front of him, was very smart and wanted to do something for himself.
"Isn't this what I heard that the foreign firm called Siwei that you helped sell stocks? I heard that if you buy this stock, you can get a dividend of 5 taels and 4 yuan every three months." Uncle Hu asked Zhang cautiously.
Agou.
After hearing what Uncle Hu said, Zhang Agou didn't care about him saying the wrong name of his foreign bank. He just looked him up and down. "Uncle Hu, you have to know that this stock costs 60 taels of silver. You
Can you afford it?" Zhang Agou asked in disbelief.
After hearing Zhang Agou's question, Uncle Hu continued to talk with a smile. "Aren't I just asking you? I don't know whether it is reliable or not." After saying that, he handed Zhang Agou a pack of cigarettes, and Zhang Agou looked at it.
Now that the cigarette was good, he put it away and said in a better tone. "Now our foreign company Nanyang has two rubber plantations with an area of 4,000 acres. One pound of rubber is now sold for 3 taels and 1 silver. Now I bought the stock."
Just wait and collect the cash at home."
"Agou, this rubber is so profitable, and your foreign boss will give us some money. He has such a good heart." Aunt Zhang, who was selling cloth shoes next to her, didn't believe it. The foreigners were so kind-hearted in giving them money.
After hearing someone questioning his words, Zhang Agou retorted with an angry look on his face. "That's because our foreign company wants to expand production and plans to build two more rubber plantations with an area of 5,000 acres. We don't have enough money to let everyone pick it up."
It's cheap. If you have enough money, who will give you the chicken that laid the golden eggs? Zhang Jinhua, let me tell you, you want to buy it now."
Zhang Agou looked at the people who were gradually surrounding him and said, not forgetting to punish Aunt Zhang for daring to question him. After hearing the reasons Zhang Agou said, everyone became interested in Willis's rubber company.
, all stepped forward to inquire about Zhang Agou.
When Aunt Zhang, who was selling soles, saw that such a good thing was really happening, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhang Agou, and said to Zhang Agou repentantly, almost crying. "Agou, it's all aunt who is ignorant, you
Just for the sake of being neighbors for so many years, let’s take my aunt’s words as a fart.”
After receiving the repentance from the questioner, Zhang Agou, Zhang Agou's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and he said generously, "Forget it, they are all neighbors, and I don't want to look bad, so let's forget about it.
.”
People around him commented and applauded, "Brother Agou is generous." "Yes, he is benevolent and righteous."
Uncle Hu looked at Zhang Agou who was being praised for not being able to find Bei. Thinking that the business had not yet been done, he stretched out his hand to pull him over and said, "Agou, you have to help Uncle Hu this time. All my savings over the years can be saved."
I'm counting on you."
After hearing what Uncle Hu said, Zhang Agou said to the crowd watching the excitement. "Okay, nothing happens. I want to know about the situation of this rubber. I will tell you when I come back in the evening. Everyone should disperse."
After hearing Zhang Agou shouting, the people watching around dispersed in twos and threes. After seeing everyone walking away, Zhang Agou said to Uncle Hu, "Uncle Hu, can I buy stocks from our foreign bank now?"
I can’t guarantee it, I can only take you there.”
"I'll prepare for that." After saying that, Uncle Hu took off the chain on his body, took out a baggage from under the chaos stall, held it firmly in his hand, and said to Aunt Zhang who was selling shoe soles next to him. "Sister-in-law, you
But keep an eye on it for me. I'll be back as soon as I go. If you're hungry, just cook a bowl of chaos and eat it."
"Look at what you said, I can still eat your food. You go quickly, and we will explore the road while I watch it for you." Aunt Zhang said to Uncle Hu.
After getting help from Aunt Zhang to look after his stall, Uncle Hu followed Zhang Agou to the Willis Rubber Company on Yanjiang Road in the Bund.
After seeing them walking away, Aunt Zhang thought about whether she should convey the news to her relatives. After thinking about it, she felt a little hungry, so she walked to Uncle Hu's wonton stall to see if she could cook some wonton noodles.
When I opened the lid of the stall where the ingredients were placed, I saw that there were only five raw wontons left. Aunt Zhang immediately felt unhappy and cursed, "I can't kill you Hu Laosan, but you have the nerve to treat me to five wontons."
." Aunt Zhang felt annoyed by the scolding, so she picked up the five wontons in the dustpan and put them in the pot. "I'll eat five of them too, don't think I'm easy to tease."
The two of them walked all the way to Willis Company, chatting as they walked.
"Uncle Hu can't tell, you can make quite a lot of money selling wontons." Zhang Agou, who was walking on the dusty road, asked Uncle Hu.
"Where can you make so much money selling wontons? Ah Gou, this is the land in my hometown that was forcibly bought by Liu Juren. This is all I have. When my son grows up, he wants to marry a wife and settle down.
I can only find an opportunity to earn some money so that my children can settle down in the house." Uncle Hu's eyes filled with tears when he talked about this.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. But as you know, Uncle Hu, it will be very hard to do things for you."
"Don't worry, your Uncle Hu won't treat you badly. As long as Agou you can help me do this. Uncle Hu will give you half of the dividend for the first time." After hearing what Zhang Agou said, Uncle Hu was also unambiguous and said
Take the dividends and make a wish to him.
"Okay, Uncle Hu, I guarantee this will be done." Zhang Agou also said he was sure.
The two quickly arrived at the door of Willis Rubber Company at No. 17 Yanjiang Road.
"Uncle Hu is so impressive, this is what a foreign bank should look like." Zhang Agou said to Uncle Hu next to him, looking at the three-story building with a total of 4,000 square meters in front of him. This was originally used by an American businessman to open a foreign bank.
It was put up for sale a year ago due to domestic financial constraints. Because the asking price was too high, no one took it over until it was bought by Sterry who came from the UK.
"Uncle Hu, wait here, I'll go ask for you, but don't leave." Zhang Agou said to Uncle Hu beside him.
"Don't worry, why are you leaving? I'm still waiting for your reply."
After greeting Uncle Hu, Zhang Agou straightened his clothes, bent down and walked in.
"Is Mr. Felix in the office?" Zhang Agou asked a newly recruited employee who passed by him.
“Manager Phillips is in his office,” the employee said to Zhang Agou.
After Zhang Agou asked, he walked to the door of Phillips' office, arranged his clothes again and knocked on the door three times.
"Please come in." Hearing the voice coming from the office, Zhang Agou bent down a little and walked in.
"It turns out to be Zhang, is something wrong?" Seeing Zhang Agou walking in, Phillips asked in not very fluent Chinese. For Phillips, this was still the result of sudden attack training.
"It's like this. My relative wants to buy the company's shares. I wonder if there are any?" Zhang Agou told Phillips word by word.
"You mean, your Qinqi wants to buy stocks."
"Choke to death." Zhang Agou replied using his few English words.
"You know, we don't have much stock left. How much do you want to buy for your sake?"
"One share."
After a guessing conversation, Zhang Agou finally helped Hu Laosan buy a stock issued by Willis Rubber Company with a face value of sixty taels of silver.
After Uncle Hu paid the money and got a stock certificate, he took Ah Gou's hand and said, "A Gou, Uncle Hu will prepare some good dishes at home tonight to comfort you."
"Look at what you are saying, how can you let Uncle Hu continue to spend money?" Zhang Agou said insincerely.
"That's all. Uncle Hu will be waiting for you tonight."
Just as they were being polite, an employee ran out of the building and shouted, "Brother Zhang, Mr. Street wants you to come in."
After hearing the call from his boss, Zhang Agou ignored the politeness and quickly followed the employee into the building.
