30 I actually had a harder time than you, eldest brother
Seeing that this guy started making trouble again, Han Huaizhong immediately scolded him and said, "Mr. Gao, you are itchy, right? I asked you in the morning, if the Han family doesn't do this, what should you do? Do you rely solely on the Han family's rice shop? You have an idea and say it quickly."
"Shanghai!" Han Huaiyi had no choice but to speak out two words honestly when he met his elder brother.
"Oh?" The other two indoors were stunned when they heard this.
"Sea transportation." Han Huaiyi spit out two more words.
Seeing that there seemed to be something in his stomach, the two of them said to Han Huaiyi in unison: "You can make it clear quickly."
Han Huaiyi, who had no status, could only patiently tell them his ideas with them.
"The Qing court had a hidden opposition between the north and the south, and the Han people in the south were increasingly escalating, and the boxing people in the north were chaotic and foreigners were eyeing each other, so the canal transportation could not be done anymore."
"Not only can the canal transportation cannot be done, but if our inland business cannot be attached to any real powerful figures, we cannot do it, because the situation will become more and more chaotic."
"But there is a place that must be very comfortable, that is Shanghai. The concession is a lawless place. There are many foreigners and expatriates and foreign soldiers, and the Qing court and all parties will not provoke the concession that is a fait accompli."
"Shanghai is a window of civilization, with many walks in the concession, and China and foreign countries are connected."
"Let's talk about our own bank, shipping. The transportation volume of our 300 ships is only comparable to the transportation volume of some iron-clad foreign ships."
"The armored ship's ability to resist wind and waves is far greater than that of wooden ships. If it transports goods to foreigners, no one dares to bully me."
Who has ever seen such a far-sighted argument in businessmen these days?
Han Er actually started from the current situation and analyzed the business prospects, and then made all the various things about the foreign schools in Shanghai. The words were so high-end. Not to mention Gao Yuming, even Han Huaizhong was stunned, even if he was a little prepared.
Looking at their expressions, Han Huaiyi caught the opportunity and came again. He said: "Don't look at me like this. How did I know this? I'll tell you later. Anyway, I haven't been idle for the past three years."
Seeing that he tried to treat others as a fool again, Han Huaizhong did not scold him this time.
Han Huaiyi continued: "I know you will ask, how does the business come about? It is because the concession is still developing and will get better and better. However, transportation in Shanghai has always been short of, and our family is familiar with it, so even if you buy a boat, you can get enough food."
When Han Huaizhong heard this, he couldn't help but: "How to deal with foreigners? Who else can drive an armored ship? Where does this ship come from? None of our family knows."
Han Huaiyi told him bluntly: "Mr. Wei Yungong, the supervisor of Jiangnan Shipyard, is planning to change his official position to private and sell ships to the public. But this matter is still under preparation."
"How did you know?" Gao Yuming asked.
He instinctively felt that this guy could tell the matter out of name, surname and official position, but he didn't understand how Han Huaiyi knew about this.
"You wait and say it slowly."
Han Huaiyi was in a panting state when he got into the state. He first answered his elder brother's question: "As for who can drive an iron-armored ship? There are many foreign sailors in Shanghai, and it is just for us to teach us boatmen. Foreigners are not as many eyes and nose as us. Not everyone uses guns and cannons. Many of them are just people of their own country. These ghosts come across the ocean just to eat."
Hearing this, Gao Yuming couldn't help but interrupt him again and said, "You're easy to say, we don't understand the foreign language. If you look for something, the translation is right, what if you join forces to cheat me?"
"I will." Han Huaiyi instantly threw out the king's bomb: "fuck you."
"What?" Both of them were confused. Han Huaiyi shrugged in a Western style: "Hello, Mr. Gao, this is a greeting for foreigners that can only be said by a very close relationship. If ordinary people can only be hello."
"Hello?" Han Huaizhong thought for a while, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Where did you learn foreign words? Or do you know these words? Ergouzi, you can't lie to your elder brother."
God, Ergouzi, what a broken name is this!
Han Huaiyi picked up the pen with a dark face, and while talking, he wrote a quiet prayer.
Then he explained to them in Chinese: "God, please give me peace, let me accept things that I cannot change, encourage me to change things that I can change, and give me the wisdom to distinguish between the two."
Later, Han Huaiyi said to his elder brother: "You used to scold me for being fooled, but if I was really just fooled, I wouldn't catch Liu Decheng and immediately had an attack, and it wouldn't be possible to say these words suddenly. Brother, I actually have worked harder than you in the past few years."
Han Huaizhong and Gao Yuming were still chewing on that charming prayer at this moment.
Seeing this, Han Huaiyi quickly said based on his memory and the elder brother who was completely shocked by him, and Gao Yuming, "Did I run out for half a year and never come back?"
"Yes, I even stole several thousand taels of silver notes from the account." Gao Yuming said in a heart-stuff, and the old man was so angry that he was about to resign.
Who has ever seen a boss who steals his own money if he has nothing to do?
Han Huaiyi immediately opened his eyes and told lies: "You think I'm going to spend time and drink, but in fact I just come back occasionally to mediate my body and mind."
"Hurry up and say, if you talk about these nonsense, I'll slap you." Han Huaizhong was about to explode.
Han Huaiyi was afraid and hurriedly told him: "Actually, during that time I was mainly in Suzhou and Shanghai. At that time, I was learning English with the priest in a foreign church. The money I stole was for tuition, because if I didn't steal it, you wouldn't give it."
This guy cleanses himself when he gets the opportunity.
This is not that Han Huaiyi insists on giving himself some high-end halo, but that his past image is indeed unbearable.
But if he doesn't get the support and trust of his elder brother, he will not be able to dominate what will happen next.
Han Huaiyi continued to emphasize: "In addition, I can't tell my elder brother and Mr. Gao two years ago that our Han family's business cannot be done like this. If you say anything, you will be scolded to death. So I can only wait and be prepared."
His elder brother was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Don't believe it? Then how could I know this unless I'm a ghost? These are all told by the priest. His name is Stark, and he has returned to Citiland. Of course, I also met several other foreigners because of this, such as Tony and Rogers." Han Huaiyi thought about it and issued another name: "There is also Loki."
Of course, there is also his favorite: "There is a girl named Wanda Maximov. Her adoptive mother is a gypsy."
“…”
Han Huaiyi finished tea and drank a sip of tea. After giving them time to digest, he said seriously: "I felt the behavior after the Shi family's accident. Shi Jintao could not see through the current situation. He also had to rush into the canal transportation. This is a great opportunity for us to raise prices and get back funds to get out of the quagmire."
