Chapter 57 Settling in Shanghai

As soon as Chevron stopped, Xiao Hongyu couldn't wait to open the car door and walked down. When she saw that there were all blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, she couldn't help but be completely stunned...

"Why are there so many foreigners here?"

Wang Jin smiled and told Xiao Yaya to get out of the car, nodded and greeted the British couple walking nearby, and strode into the open villa carved iron door.

Sun Qianqian was like a frightened little rabbit, not daring to look at the foreigner who was like a "demon" outside. She lowered her head and hurriedly followed her in. She had not seen foreigners before, but she had never encountered such a scene like she looked around like now. It is understandable that she felt uneasy and panic!

Erdan opened the trunk with a smile, carried the suitcase and explained with a smile: "Haha, sister-in-law, don't be surprised. This is a house specially designed for foreigners in the concession. It is usually not Chinese. It is safe, quiet and undisturbed. It is a very good place to stay. If it weren't for nothing, I would also like to buy a villa here. After seeing the door of my family once, I would never forget it..."

"Ah, Xiaojing (Erdan's wife Xu Jing) didn't live here? Yaya has long been yelling to find her aunt Jing." Xiao Hongyu covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at this European-style Baroque villa. The three-story villa was unique and elegant. There was a rockery pool and a neat green lawn in front of the building, with a brilliant look in her eyes: "In the future, let Xiaojing come here to play more often. It would be too uncomfortable to chat without anyone familiar with her. By the way, this room... the villa costs a lot, right?" As she said that, she followed Lin Sha and walked in.

"I don't know, it was given to Brother Jin by the British, and the price is probably very expensive!" As Wang Jin's absolute confidant, Erdan is very clear about the origin of this villa. He was carrying his luggage while explaining the villa and the surrounding environment, and said that if his wife has free time after teaching class, she would definitely let her come and walk around more.

"Sister Li?" Before they could enter the living room, a middle-aged woman in her thirties came over and wanted to take over Erdan's luggage with a smile on her face. Little Hongyu was stunned, remembering Erdan's introduction just now, and hesitated to confirm.

"Second Master, let me do it." Mrs. Li hesitated a little, not knowing what the beautiful woman in front of her was. She just smiled and nodded, and hurriedly grabbed the luggage in Erdan's hand.

Erdan touched his nose and smiled bitterly without saying anything. Although he had been in Shanghai for a long time, he was still not used to such a title. If he could hear it, he could think that a slap was inevitable. Did you forget that you were also a poor person and dare to act like this with some achievements?

Shaking his head and throwing all the things out of his mind, he hurriedly introduced: "Sister-in-law, this is Mrs. Li, a native of Fengyang who fled to Shanghai in Anhui. She is honest and gentle. My elder brother specially invited her to take care of your daily life."

Besides, Wang Jin and his friends came to the living room and greeted Lin Sha without any politeness. Then they exchanged opinions on what had happened in recent times.

"How is it? I won't leave after I come this time, right?" Lin Sha asked curiously after briefly explaining the situation of the Pacific Trading Company. A trace of fatigue flashed across his face. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is no way. Recently, Jardine Wo Foreign Company's workload has suddenly increased significantly, and Pacific Trade will inevitably be a little negligent. There is no problem in a short time, but it will not work after a long time. You'd better be in Shanghai or find a few people familiar with the situation to help, otherwise I can only quit Jardine Wo Foreign Company's business and specialize in Pacific Trade."

Wang Jin nodded with a serious expression to show his understanding, and then Zhan Yan smiled easily: "I'm here this time to stay in Shanghai. I will definitely not leave without special circumstances. Don't worry, just leave the Pacific trade matters to me. Of course, you have to find a few talents to use. You should be clear about the domestic situation, it's hard to describe it..."

Lin Sha shook his head with a wry smile, feeling helpless, and talent is not that easy to find? What's more, the talents needed for Pacific trade not only need to understand international trade and be familiar with the rules and tricks of dealing with foreigners, but also have to have a heart to serve the country and save the country. It is easy to imagine how rare talents meet such conditions are!

He handed the little girl in his arms to her mother and sent Sun Qianqian to set up his room. Wang Jin did not bother these topics too much. As long as he kept paying attention to search, he would not be afraid of not being able to find a suitable candidate. He told him in detail about the growth of the new liberation meeting and the series of measures taken by the government in Hefei, Lu'an. Finally, he showed the hot sales of Chinese patent medicines and the Japanese who came to seek cooperation with nonchalant expressions. He scolded indignantly: "These hot Japanese people actually put their ideas on their grandfather. They are really bold and delusional. I annoyed grandfather. I will let you evaporate in the deep mountains and dense forests of the Dabie Mountains!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Sha and Erdan looked at each other for a while. They never expected that so many things would happen in just over a month, and in the end, they even led to the Eastern people. The backbone elites of the New Restoration Association were influenced by Wang Jin and not long after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and their perception of the Eastern people was extremely poor.

This Chinese patent medicine incident led to the Japanese Japanese, and this matter was really not easy to deal with. Although they hated Japanese Japanese in their hearts, they had to admit that the Japanese Japanese were indeed stronger than the Qing Dynasty. If they didn’t deal with it well, anything might happen in the future!

"Is that Chinese patent medicine really so magical?" Now that I thought it was useless, Lin Sha came back to his senses without long struggle, and asked Wang Jin curiously. At the same time, he couldn't help but think about whether there was any chance to promote Chinese patent medicine to Europe and the United States. Of course, everything depends on the effect. Whether Chinese patent medicine is as powerful as Wang Jin brags about.
