15 No need to be aggressive (5 more)
Then he knew about the matter.
Fu Wenzhong also said that he had no choice but to apologize to him: "Mr. Han, it's all my fault that I was too talkative. I told Cheng Tao about the situation of the Romanian ringgit, which caused Zhou Cheng to be greedy. I also asked Mr. Han to punish him."
Being a servant is going to take the blame. This is the characteristic of Chinese society, otherwise what can Fu Wenzhong do?
But Han Huaiyi was very reasonable because this matter had nothing to do with others.
Assuming that Fu Wenzhong did not come with silver coins, Zhou Cheng would definitely have to do such a scandal when he knew about it in the future.
What drove him crazy was Xiang Shuai's attitude.
Although Fu Wenzhong said it very tactfully, he used "Xiangshuai said that since the matter has been resolved, you can just go back to Shanghai to deal with the matter quickly. He is busy with official duties and has no time to meet you." But Han Huaiyi's nose is so smart that he is familiar with Xiangshuai's casualness towards him, so he said angrily: "Don't hide it from him. Are he guilty and ask me to get out?"
Fu Wenzhong burst into laughter and refused to admit it or deny it.
Han Huaiyi stood there and thought for a while. Forget it, he must have been asking for scolding in the past. He took out a gift and asked Fu Wenzhong to bring it to Xiangshuai. He went to the Hanyang Shipyard on the other side to see the progress there.
After Xiang Shuai received the zippo made of sterling silver from him, he laughed silently. When asked about the situation, he learned that he went directly to the shipyard. The old man felt embarrassed and said to Fu Wenzhong: "You should go and ask him to get out for dinner."
Fu Wenzhong immediately became big, and you guys are playing with me, but he didn't say anything but he could only invite Han Huaiyi.
At this time, Han Huaiyi had already gone to Hankou.
Charlie Han's arrival caused a sensation in the British and French Concessions in Hankou.
However, Han Huaiyi did not go to the French Concession, but met with people from the British Concession.
It's strange to say that everyone knows that he is close to the French in Shanghai and is incompatible with the British.
However, in Hankou, Han Huaiyi felt good about the British Consul Palin here, and had a bad impression of Eric in the French Concession.
Palin was still the deputy consul when he was bidding at Hanyang Iron Factory, but Charlie Han was still a little different at that time than now.
After further energetic Palin greeted him, he said directly: "Mr. Charlie, welcome you, can we restart the plan for the Great World in Hankou?"
Han Huaiyi laughed: "Then let's talk."
After receiving a positive answer, Palin couldn't help but be overjoyed. He then asked Han Huaiyi: "I heard that Ford factory was also built in Shanghai? You also designed a car called Raptors, which was recognized by Mr. Ford?"
The earth, which entered the 20th century, had already had the flavor of the global villages in later generations because of its development of information.
Outstanding figures from all countries can become famous.
For example, people like Henry Ford who pioneered the automotive era have many admirers in various countries.
However, Han Huaiyi said: "Acknowledge it? No, he exchanged his interests for my patents. This is a business."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Palin asked, "Then did you get the start of the Shanghai factory in exchange for this?"
"Yes, we unearthed the land and the workers to add my designs, and got a 20% commission on net profit and a 10% commission. After all, he occupied a lot of investment in patents and equipment."
Han Huaiyi had no intention of looking up to Ford when talking about Ford. Ford is indeed great but also a living person, and now he is his business partner, so he can be on par with him.
And his posture is not pretentious.
Palin couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that you and Morgan's ImM have also cooperated. Mr. Charlie, sometimes I can't imagine you can get to this point."
There are also planes.
Han Huaiyi didn't show off. He just smiled and said, "Those who are interested can do it, as long as you work hard."
The two sides exchanged greetings all the way into the consulate, and Palin immediately showed his sincerity.
This is a real person to do things.
He showed Han Huaiyi the plan he had prepared.
The British Concession led by him will provide ten acres of land in New Rome for free to build the world. In addition, the Bank of London Hankou Branch will also provide an interest-free loan of 50,000 pounds for New Rome.
"Mr. Charlie, I swear in my reputation that this is the best offer I can do so. What do you think?" Palin's attitude was very low because he understood the value of Shanghai's world.
And that kind of crazy revenue will definitely bring about a considerable donation.
Westerners are very straightforward. He doesn't want to beat around the bush. He just wants to tie Charlie Han to the carriage in the British Concession to get benefits.
Han Huaiyi thought for a while and said, "Let me make a request. The land obtained by the Great World must belong to the name of New Rome and must be truly owned."
"No problem." Palin actually understood the value of Charlie's demand, but for him, isn't it just land? If there was no New Rome's great world, it would be just farmland.
In addition, he said: "Can the model of the Shanghai-Xi Haoting be replicated in Hankou? New Rome and the Industrial Bureau jointly promote the transformation of the Hankou Concession, with the interests of four and six, we four and you six."
He has requirements, and Han Huaiyi naturally has them too.
And that's what he came here for.
Han Huaiyi said: "Then I have a private request. If there is another conflict between me and Devimen, you must have to choose me. There is no reason to hide this intimate relationship. You must make a clear stand."
"What conflict will happen to you and him?" Palin asked seriously.
"My conflict with him must be his fault."
Charlie Han has always promised his daughter, so Palin was relieved. He said: "If there is this premise, there will be no problem, but I still have to ask you to understand. I am a British man after all, so I may not be able to do it too strongly."
"This is just a gentleman agreement. What can drive you to choose me is not interests, not nationality, but human conscience! Don't worry, Mr. Palin." Han Huaiyi said not aggressively, and then he stretched out his hand.
Palin held his hand tightly, and he found that getting along with this Charlie was really comfortable, and he really didn't understand why Devimen had to confront such a person.
Before we knew it, even Westerners thought that their compatriots were not Charlie's price.
After both parties signed the letter of intent, Perlin suddenly asked Han Huaiyi with a smile: "Why didn't you choose to build a big world in the French Concession in Hankou?"
He seemed to be pointing out.
Han Huaiyi didn't hide it, and he said directly: "Can I say Eric is a slick politician?"
Mamoyer told him personally about some bad things about Eric.
And the real reason why Eric became the consul of the Hankou Concession was that he was the Governor of East India.
So Han Huaiyi immediately confessed his thoughts to Perrin, saying: "Anyway, my French friends are enough, and my British enemies are enough. We just feel good about each other, so why not cooperate with you?"
Palin couldn't help laughing. He liked Charlie Han like this because he would tell you clearly that he would use you.
