Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Six

Mr. Lin was watching the flowers and drinking tea in the flower room, and the gardener was tending the flowers inside.He was in a state of tranquility, with a calm expression on his face.At this time, Lin Xiangrong came in with a leather bag: "Hello, Dad." Master Lin was very happy, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down. How is the matter in Shandong?" Lin Xiangrong said: "Chen Shouting sent another telegram today, still advising me not to ship goods to Shandong. Our manager Zhou in Shandong also thinks so. I am not sure about some things, so I came to ask my father." Xiangrong looked humble.

Master Lin nodded: "Although Shandong is our big market, Chen Shouting and Zhao Dongchu are more anxious than us. These days I wonder if the Japanese will come to Shanghai to do the same. Shandong is close to Japan, of course it is Suffer first, but Shanghai is not far from Japan, and they will do the same. The model dyeing factory in Shandong is just a symptom, and it will not do anything to us. The key is that we cannot let his experiment in our country China has succeeded. From now on, consciously reduce business contacts with the Japanese, and complete the transaction with them as soon as possible." He sighed, "Britain, France and other countries only acquired a concession in China, but the Japanese occupied us. Three provinces, plus Chahar and Luandong, four provinces are more. We businessmen are not afraid of anything, but war. We have paid so much taxes and donations, and we don’t know What have you done!"

Lin Xiangrong said: "I came to my father for this purpose. Zhao Dongchu suggested that we, Chen Shouting and Zhao Dongchu, join forces to destroy this traitor dyeing factory. Dad is right, this kind of experiment by the Japanese cannot be allowed to succeed. .” Master Lin's eyes lit up: "Do you have a plan?" Lin Xiangrong shook his head: "Not yet. Dongchu said that Dad is a senior in the business world and has seen a lot of the world. I want you to come up with a plan." Master Lin smiled wryly: "What can I do. But think about it. This time we went to Jinan and gained a lot, and we managed to attract two big households. Chen Shouting is also a good person, very generous. Ah Rong, business is business , human relations are only one aspect, you should refer to the cloth prices of your peers, and take the initiative to lower their prices a little, don’t wait for others to tell. There is still a model dyeing factory there, and they are also very difficult.”

Lin Xiangrong said: "Okay. Dad, it should be said that Chen Shouting's machine has also stopped, but today I received his telegram order and asked us to send two more. Why?" Master Lin was also taken aback, shaking his head: "I can't guess. Ah Rong, I'm old. If I were your age, I would do whatever it takes to bring Chen Shouting to Shanghai. The place in Shandong is too small. It's a pity for such a person! This is like a beautiful woman born in a remote village, who can only show her face in a small place." After saying that, he sighed. Lin Xiangrong said: "This person is very interesting, and I often think of him."

Mr. Lin said: "The last time I saw Chen Shouting, it really refreshed me. I knelt in front of the restaurant - it was obviously our fault! Ah Rong, that is a famous businessman in Shandong! He also has a status." No matter whether he is real or fake, I am very moved. In fact, life is a drama, and the shopping mall is even a drama. Playing chess in the public temple..." Seeing his father praise Shouting like this, Lin Xiangrong felt a little ashamed on his face, and said, "Father, I'm going back, and I'll report you the price of the cloth later." Master Lin said: "There is no need to worry too much about things in Shandong. I think a Chen Shouting can probably handle it. If we need help, we must help them. You write a letter to Chen Shouting and say that when he has time, let him When I come to Shanghai, I want to play chess with him again.”

In the morning, in Shouting's office, Zhou Taofei heard about the situation in Shandong, came from Tianjin, and was talking with Jiaju Shouting there. Shouting said: "Tao Fei, you and Jia Kui are both foreign students, if you two talk to each other in foreign language, I will listen too!" Both Taofei and Jiaju felt embarrassed.Tao Fei said: "Brother Jia Kui is a senior studying abroad, I'm afraid I can't stand it." Shouting said: "It doesn't matter whether you can stand it or not, you two have to be right. You know, your sixth brother can't read, but everyone around me can speak foreign languages. That's beautiful in my heart! Come on!" , Yes, let me open my eyes."

Jia Kui said: "Brother Six, aren't you adding to the trouble? Now the factory is full of returned goods, and we don't have a clue about the business. What kind of foreign language is that right! You can't understand it." Shouting said: "It is precisely because I don't understand that I want to listen to it. If only Mei Lanfang is watching the opera, how can Ma Lianliang eat? Are there still people listening to his opera? Come on, let's start. Jiaju, you first Get started." Both Jia Kui and Tao Fei laughed.Ka Kui said, "Then what are you talking about? Tao Fei, English or German?"

Taofei was about to talk, but Shouting said first, "It's easy to do, we'll do both for a while. As for what to say, it's easy to do, you two just pretend to be in love, Jiaju, you pretend to be that girl." people laugh. At this time, Lao Wu came in, Zhou Taofei got up quickly, and Shouting pulled him to sit down: "I said, you stand together for a while, and you stand together for a while, so that no one dares to come in. Sit down. Old Wu, please What's the matter? This place wants to hear about foreign love affairs, and you stepped in." Old Wu smiled awkwardly and refused to say what was the matter.Shouting said, "It's okay, just say it!"

Old Wu said: "The returns in Jinan are all over, but the returns from other places are piled up at the station! Shopkeeper, if this is shipped to the factory, we will be ashamed." Shouting smiled: "Whatever you are afraid of, transport it to the factory. No, after transporting it back to the factory, it will have to be shipped out in a few days, so let's put it in the warehouse at Weiliu Road Station." Zhou Taofei said: "Brother Six, why don't you rent a few cars and send them to Tianjin." Shouting pressed his hand: "No need. Whoever returned it, I have to ask someone to buy it back. Zi's parents can't afford it. Old Wu, did Ming Zu return it?"

Old Wu shook his head: "No, he didn't even send a telegram. A few days ago, he said that the goods were sold out, and he urged us to deliver the goods. However, our largest customer, Lao Kong from Zaozhuang, came, although he didn't return the goods. Come, but I think he is also in a difficult situation. The Zi family sent someone to force him here, but he said there was nothing he could do. He is sitting with me now, and he wants to talk to you about it!" Shouting paused, Taofei Jiaju stared at him, Shouting stared at the window in a daze.Shouting said: "Jiaju, fly down with Tao, call Dongchu and ask him to drive over. The three of you go to Jufengde first and wait for me. I have to have a good chat with Lao Kong."

Jia Kui and Tao Fei stood up, and Fei Hu came in to pack things. Lao Kong was thirty-eight or nine years old, with a flushed face, thick eyebrows, and a solid body. He seemed to have a quick temper. Feihu brought new tea, and Shouting poured it for him himself. Old Kong said: "Brother Six, you trust me so much, this matter..." Shouting handed him a cigarette: "Brother, let's stop talking, and I'll just ask you a question, do you think this model dyeing factory can grow?" Old Kong smiled dryly: "Isn't that what you said! I'm afraid of this, because I'm afraid that he will sell a bad show for three days and two mornings. I won't sell our Flying Tiger brand anymore, and you have given the distribution rights to others. , if his model dyeing factory shuts down again, then I will be in trouble." Shouting smiled and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" Old Kong staggered: "I didn't have any options, so I came to ask you! If I don't sell his model cloth, I'm afraid he will find other merchants to replace us; if I sell it, I'm afraid he will grow up." No. Sixth brother, can you think of a quick way to kill this bastard?" Shouting said: "If I can make an urgent move, then everything will be easy to handle! Isn't it because I didn't recruit at that time!" Old Kong sighed: "Brother Six, when you defeated Poppy, so many people came to fight for our Flying Tiger. You trusted my brother and gave me the distribution rights from Zaozhuang Linyi to Xuzhou. I am also in our Flying Tiger brand." I made a fortune. On August 15th, you even sent someone from Jinan to give me a gift. You have given me such a big face. I really don’t know what to do to make this trouble with Zi. Alas, It’s a good deal, and there’s such a trick again!” Shouting picked up the tea and took a sip, and said, "Are there any businesses in your locality with similar strength?" Old Kong said: "If not, I wouldn't have come to Jinan at all. This time the Zi family called us together, that is, the Liu family in Lincheng. Although he didn't compete with me last time when he fought for the flying tiger, his strength Don't underestimate him. He has three or four charcoal farms in his family, and he is also a rich man. Sixth brother, if I don't agree to Zi's family this afternoon, he will let the Liu family do it. Sixth brother, if that's the case, brothers will have to return the goods. But, What are you going to do after returning the goods? Damn it!" Shouting was not in a hurry: "What price will the Zi family give you?" Old Kong said: "It's only 12 cents for retail sales, and he gave me 10.5 cents! Sixth brother, you know, it doesn't matter whether the price is high or low in this trade. If you buy low, you will sell low. Let's sell high." , the goods from other places can rush to our site immediately. The price is low, and the trading house is just like a dog eating urine bubble! I can’t get anything at all. Alas!” Lao Kong was in a dilemma, shaking his head and sighing. Shouting asked: "After you come in at 10.5 cents, how much money will you send out?" Old Kong said: "At most add five cents, ten cents. He stipulates that he can only sell it for ten cents. We have to leave a penny for the cloth shop, right?" Shouting said calmly: "Okay. Old Kong, we are also old brothers. I am a man who is right in business! Our brothers are very good, and we are very good. Return the goods and you didn't return it. Return it." Talk to me. In this way, you promise Zi’s house this afternoon to buy 1,000 pieces. He has printed a total of 4,000 pieces these days, and you’d better get 1,500 pieces. Then, you can sell it to Me. I'll let you get rich right where you are, without even needing luck." Old Kong wondered: "Brother Six, all the machines in our factory are stopped, what do you want that crap for?" Shouting said, "Don't worry about it. You'd better sell your Flying Tiger brand, and don't let the Liu family and the Zi family get caught up in the fire. This is the main thing." Old Kong said, "I don't bring that much money!" Shouting smiled: "I have it here. I will send someone to follow you this afternoon. After receiving the goods, let him transport them to the warehouse of Weiliu Road Railway Station. Sold it to me." Old Kong was happy: "Okay! But Sixth Brother, you can take it as much as I bought it, and you don't need to pay me more. If you do that, you will look down on your brother." Shouting laughed: "Brother, listen to me, just do it like this. I'll let Lao Wu figure it out in a while. Brother, this money is not mine, it's the son of a bunch of bastards from Zi's family, so it must be collected!" Old Kong said: "Sixth brother, don't talk about collecting money, brother will be very happy if we can prevent the Liu family from Lincheng from crowding in. As long as he can't squeeze in, our Feihu brand will still be sold locally. I If you charge money again, it will become tasteless.” Shouting said: "Okay! I won't give you any money, but I'll give you five per cent lower in return. I'm just out for the brotherhood. Let's go to dinner together, and meet my overseas student factory manager by the way. " Old Kong said: "Sixth brother, no, at least not at noon today. The Zi family wants to invite me. If I don't go, the Liu family will take over. Let's finish this trip and have a good drink tonight! Sixth brother, can you say What did you want these cloths for?" Shouting said, "You want to know?" Old Kong said: "But I want to know, I have to learn a few tricks from Brother Six." Shouting said: "Okay, in the evening, I'll show you on the spot." In the main hall of Zi Wenhai's house, the lights were brightly lit, and the father and son were entertaining Teng Jing.Teng Jing listened to Shouting's advice and wore Chinese clothes, but he was a little fatter, making others look thinner. Zi Wenhai said: "4,000 pieces, just go out like this, how fast!" Teng Jing was also flattered: "Chen Shouting has agreements with those merchants, but what's the use of the agreements? Merchants like to take advantage. Your Chinese merchants are even more so." Zi Youde stepped in and said, "Don't Japanese businessmen like to take advantage?" Teng Jing smiled: "It's not the same. Japanese businessmen pay great attention to friendship. Besides, our local market is not so chaotic. Mr. Zi, have you seen what strength is through this incident?" Zi Wenhai glared at his son just now when he was talking, and now he hastened to say: "It is indeed the number one in strength. The number one in the Shandong business world is Miao Handong, and he doesn't dare to do that!" He smiled and raised his hands. The wine cup, "Come on, Mr. Teng Jing, I respect you, for our one shot, for our flat earth's thunder." Teng Jing also picked up his wine glass: "This is just the beginning!" The two drank it down in one gulp. Zi Wenhai said: "No wonder Chen Liuzi develops so fast. His merchants are really powerful. The one surnamed Kong in Zaozhuang asked for 1,300 pieces at a time. This is because the factory is out of stock. If there is, he will ask for 1,000 pieces." Five hundred pieces. That's amazing!" Teng Jing nodded: "Mr. Zi, we must pay special attention to such merchants. We have cut off the channel for Chen Shouting's shipments, and he is useless even if he has great abilities. He may be crying now!" Zi Wenhai put a shrimp on Teng Jing's plate, Teng Jing nodded his thanks, but didn't eat it. Zi Wenhai said: "Mr. Teng Jing, there is one thing I want to blame you for." Teng Jing said, "Oh? What's the matter?" Zi Wenhai said: "You shouldn't have told Chen Liuzi our price in advance, and he was so scared that he stopped the machine that day. If he keeps printing, he will feel uncomfortable now! Haha!" Teng Jing also laughed. Zi Youde said: "Father, the Zhao family of the Sanyuan dyeing factory is also shut down today, and they are all convinced. How happy! Come, let me offer a toast to Mr. Tengjing!" Teng Jing said: "You should call me uncle. My brother and your father are classmates, and I have known your father for many years. Is that so, Mr. Zi?" Zi Youde hurriedly changed his words: "Okay, Uncle Tengjing, my nephew would like to offer you a toast! Do it first and then respect it." As he spoke, he tilted his neck and drank it. Teng Jing took a sip, put down his glass and said, "Chinese products are not good at anything except the wine. I'm a little dizzy." Zi Wenhai said: "Drink it slowly, and it will be fine in a while. Mr. Teng Jing, after printing these 5,000 copies, will the rest still be sold at this price?" Teng Jing nodded: "If we stop now, our previous efforts will be in vain. They haven't hurt their bones yet. The first step is to make their goods unsalable. The second step is to force them to fire workers. The third step Well, of course they closed the door. Don’t worry, Mr. Zi, they won’t last long. Keep going like this until they die.” Zi Wenhai said: "Mr. Teng Jing, of course there is nothing wrong with you doing this. I can not make money first, but I can't lose money!" Teng Jing said: "As long as you cooperate with me, I will not let you suffer!" Zi Wenhai said: "Mr. Teng Jing, legally speaking, I am the major shareholder and I have the right to make decisions. But you put forward your own sales proposals in order to defeat your competitors. Even if I don't pay a penny, so do you. I used 51% of my shares for free, because I own 51% of the equipment and the entire factory. Your current method can only be called processing with supplied materials legally. You are A processing fee should be paid." Teng Jing's expression was calm: "If you don't have me, can you build this factory? Even if you can build it, with your strength, do you still have the money to buy cloth? Even if you have money to buy cloth, facing the three big factories in Shandong Can you sell the branded calico?" Zi Wenhai said: "Mr. Teng Jing, I don't want to say this. In fact, your activities in China are subsidized by the government. You should take part of this subsidy and give it to me, because I help you in China. Expanded business." When Zi Wenhai spoke, Teng Jing’s face was very ugly, but in the end he kept nodding, expressing his agreement: “Mr. Zi knows Japan very well. In this way, if you work hard, the newly arrived five thousand pieces of cloth will still be used as the working capital of the factory.” I will write a document and send it back to China, praising the work in the China region, and trying to get the empire to reward you. I think this is good, you sell me 51% of your shares at a price increase. Of course we It's a private transaction, on the surface you are still running the business, and I will pay you your annual salary. Is it okay?" Zi Wenhai smiled: "Mr. Teng Jing, you know that my gift money as a lawyer is very high. If it is not for the establishment of an industry, I will not cooperate with you. At the same time, this is also illegal. Please forgive me." A Japanese bow. Teng Jing stood up: "I'm going back, the factory will run like this first. Let's talk about the details at another time. I'll let Chen Shouting and others see how much benefit we can get from cooperating with the empire. What kind of end will it be if you cooperate?" Zi Youde admired his father's speech very much, and looked at him with admiring eyes. In the morning, Dongjun walked back and forth in the room in a hurry, and Lao Zhou stood there with a pot in his hand and advised, "Boss, the tea has already been poured, you can drink a bowl." Dong Jun sighed and sat down: "Go and call the third shopkeeper!" Dong Jun shook the phone: "Pick up the office of the chairman of Hongju Dyeing Factory!" He took a sip of tea, "Hello, Shouting? Oh! Feihu, where is your shopkeeper? Didn't come? Why didn't you come? At home Sleep? What? You are not allowed to call his house? Why are you not allowed to call? What? Take a good rest? Okay!" Dong Jun was so angry that he put down the phone and couldn't help snorting. Dongchu came in: "Brother, what's the matter?" Dong Jun said: "You are talking about this little six! I want to discuss with him, but he is sleeping at home. Is this machine just stopped?" Dongchu said: "It's okay, Brother Six told me to wait!" Dong Jun said: "He can wait, can we wait? Really, I am so anxious. This Zi Wenhai is really not a thing, he is about to become a traitor!" Dongchu said: "What do you think he is? He is a traitor!" Dong Jun picked up the cigarette and thought about it, then put it down again: "Third brother, open all the dyeing tanks, and dye cloth to the countryside." Dong Chu smiled and said: "You really made Sixth Brother guess right. A few days ago, he said that we are about to open a dyeing tank. Big Brother, we can't compete with those rich landowners, just wait. Sixth Brother must have a way , Lin Xiangrong also sent a telegram saying that he is willing to support us at any time." Dong Jun said: "Is he sleeping at home? No, I have to call him. I can't let him be so safe. If you have any plans, let's talk about it together. I'm so anxious!" He wanted to touch the phone. Dong Chu said: "I just met last night. It's only been one night. He's not a man of God. With his quick temper, if he really wants to come up with a plan, he'll come here early in the morning!" Dong Jun said disdainfully: "Hmph, he didn't tell us when he bought Kaibu. Now that I think about it, when Lin Xiangrong and Kaibu were fighting the most lively time, he came to our factory and asked for it right away. Don't want his printing machine, that's why I fell into his trick. Do you remember? This is your sixth brother!" Dongchu suddenly realized: "Yes, that's what happened. Brother, he was afraid that we would compete with him and raised the selling price of the port. Brother, we didn't intend to buy the port at first, and they didn't harm us. See Brother Six, don’t mention this matter. We flattered Lin Xiangrong so much, and I was still a classmate with him. In order not to offend him, we resigned the workers, but the quotation he gave us the first time was the same as other factories in Shanghai. Low. It’s just that the cloth is better. It’s not the sixth brother who saw Lin Boqing and bowed his head. One piece of cloth cost seven or eight dollars? Didn’t it cost another two dollars. When you mention the opening of the port at the beginning, all of a sudden It’s not good to expose him.” Dongjun sighed: "If we now have a port behind us, I won't be able to sleep and go to work, and I can hold my breath. The third child, this is our father! I think he wants a high class. If the sixth son is in our factory now Here, the three of us will work hard, and we will not rush into the big Shanghai." Dong Chu said: "It's the same, we meet all day long, we are still relatives, and we are also very good friends. Brother, don't keep thinking about this! Everything is fate!" The gate of Yuanheng dyeing factory is full of returned goods.Ms. Jia's car could barely enter the factory, and the rickshaws gave way only after honking their horns several times."What's going on?" she asked the driver. The driver turned around and said, "General Manager Jia, you went to the Northeast, and the returns started yesterday. There is a model brand calico from Qingdao, 1 cent and 1 foot, which was brought by Sun Mingzu from our factory from Jinan." All our merchants have gone there, and the door of Sun Mingzu's trading house is almost bursting." Although Ms. Jia is old, she is still quite coquettishly dressed.When she heard this, she stomped her foot in the car angrily: "Go back, go to Dongya Trading Company!" Next to the East Asia Trading Company is the sea. Teni, wearing a black kimono, is looking into the distance by the sea, with a solemn expression full of longing.He heard the car horn and turned around slowly.Seeing that it was Miss Jia's car, she smiled and walked slowly towards this side. Ms. Jia got out of the car angrily, "You have already shipped the model cloth to Qingdao, what will Dahua do? What will Yuanheng do?" After speaking, she didn't even look at Teng Jing, and walked straight to the trading company.Teng Jing followed behind, saying straight up: "How come? How come?" The maid hurriedly opened the door, and Miss Jia entered Teng Jing's office, sat on the chair in front of the table and took out a cigarette to light it.Teng Jing came to help her shoulder, and she opened it with her hand. Ms. Jia said: "We did a good job in Qingdao. You have to go to Jinan to open some dyeing factory and expand the business of some empire. Now it's all right. You didn't beat Chen Liuzi, you beat us! What do you think?" Let's do it!" Teng Jing said: "It shouldn't be too many, maybe a small amount. I just came back the day before yesterday, and I printed a total of 5,000 pieces. I'll send a telegram to ask later. Do you know who shipped it?" "Sun Mingzu! This is what Chen Liuzi did." Teng Jing was surprised: "Oh? It's possible! Hey, why didn't I think of it! No wonder Chen Shouting stopped the machine in front of me. He deliberately showed weakness to me, so he was trying to deal with me in a different way! I won't let him go!" Miss Jia said, "What can you do with him? How dare you kill him?" Teng Jing smiled: "It's not necessary to kill him, I want to pull him to do it together. If he doesn't do it, Da Hua and Yuan Heng will also sell the cloth for 12 cents, so that he can't survive. Siya, don't worry, Chen Shouting is a small man , don’t be afraid of him. I’ll book a ticket to Jinan immediately, and talk to him one last time, if we can’t agree, Dahua Yuanheng will do it together, and the cheap cloth will fill the whole of Shandong.” Ms. Jia said: "I said to do this at the beginning. You said to try it in Jinan first. That's good. We have to accept returns. You should notify the accountant in the factory to prepare money!" Teng Jing nodded: "Okay, I'll call right away and accept the return. Siya, you go to Sun Mingzu's place to see how much he shipped, and see if anyone else ships here. We can know for sure. " Miss Jia said: "What are you going to do? Let others laugh at us? I think it's better to avoid it!" Teng Jing walked around the table and held her by the shoulder: "Go for a while, in business, you must know yourself and your enemy!" Miss Jia stood up angrily, and pushed Teng Jing away with her hand: "I think it's better to stop the fertilizer of the model dyeing factory in Jinan. Both of them are trash, and they are not Chen Liuzi's opponent at all." Teng Jing said with a smile: "It's not that far yet. It's normal to have a little trouble at the beginning. I will have a way to deal with Chen Shouting." In the morning, Shouting was drinking tea in the office when Old Wu came in. Old Wu said: "Shopkeeper, this product has arrived for several days, and I don't know how the shopkeeper Sun in Qingdao is doing." Shouting said: "If you don't send a telegram today, you will definitely come tomorrow. Mingzu is an old man, so it's all right. Didn't Jin Biao send a letter from the Northeast?" Old Wu said: "No, I reckon I'll be back soon." Shouting nodded: "The two brothers of the Zhao family have been looking for me for several days. I asked Feihu to answer the phone, saying that I was sleeping at home. The two brothers are also in a hurry. You can go down and call them later. Tell him what we do, and make him happy." Old Wu asked, "Shall we turn it on?" Shouting said: "That's not enough, I have to give Teng Jing some special ones. We can't do this one by ourselves, so we have to get Lin Xiangrong and Sanyuan to do it together. How about this, let them come over and say that I will invite you at noon." He eats." Old Wu promised to leave, but Shouting stopped him: "Don't panic, I have to give Dong Jun a couple of poems from Han Fuju's school." Old Wu stood there laughing: "Do it quickly, so I can tell him!" Shouting looked at the sky and conceived: "Well, it's hard not to sleep. Where is it hard to sleep? Yes! Listen: It's hard to sleep on the griddle. Please stew meat at noon today. Interesting?" Old Wu sat down with a smile, and took out a pen from the lapel: "I have to write it down, don't forget it all at once. What is the word for the pancake pan?" Shouting smiled: "Who are you asking? You want to be scolded!" Old Wu also smiled: "I think about it, it's hard to sleep on the griddle, please cook the meat at noon today. Okay, I'll read it to him right now." Shouting called him again: "Old Wu, don't let that master Gao from Shanghai treat you. Our small estrangement plan was removed and Li Wanqi was kept. Master Gao said that this person is good, but he just voted for the wrong place. Let him Let's have a meal, it's not easy to come from Shanghai all the way." Old Wu said: "What's the matter? Those few meals were for nothing?" Shouting said: "This Zi Wenhai is really not to be underestimated. When Lao Gao and Li Wanqi were having dinner, he saw him, toasted Lao Gao, and asked Lao Gao to say hello to me. He is embarrassing me! He Damn, see through this old man's plan." Old Wu said: "Then give him another trick, one that he can't see through." Shouting smiled: "According to Lao Gao, this Zi Wenhai is very good at employing people. He is not only very good to Li Wanqi, but also very good to those people Li Wanqi brought from Shanghai. Li Wanqi said that there is a famous printing and dyeing industry in Shanghai. The man, named Ma Zixiong, was originally the director of Changsheng Printing and Dyeing Factory. After Changsheng collapsed, Ma Zixiong went to Ningbo, but things didn’t go his way. Zi Wenhai knew about this, so he urged Li Wanqi to invite this man. Wu, there are people beyond people, and heaven beyond the sky, it seems that Zi Wenhai really wants to do something big!" Old Wu said: "No matter how good Ma Zixiong is, Lin Xiangrong will be pushed down by Changsheng. If he is really capable, he should have pushed Liuhe down. I'm going down, shopkeeper." Old Wu went down. Shouting poured tea by himself, and sang along with Xipi Liushui: "Old Tengjing, I don't know that the head is light and the eggs are heavy, and you are messing around in front of the sixth master. Shi Xiaoji, let you be in a hurry, wait until tomorrow, I will fuck you Ancestor! Haha!" The father and son of the Zi family looked at each other, feeling a little silly sitting in the office.Zi Youde looked at his father shaking his head and sighing, wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. "Father, drink some water. We can't blame us for this. It's him Teng Jing who asked us to sell it at such a price. We have no control over where the goods are sold after they leave the factory." Zi Wenhai said: "He sent a telegram and said that the sale of large batches is not allowed, but small batches are sold, and foreign merchants do not come at all. Come to Jinan, just get a piece of cloth for the travel expenses? We are laymen, and I think he is no better than us. Where to go." Zi Youde said: "Father, Li Wanqi did the math yesterday. The output of our factory can only supply Jinan and the surrounding areas of Jinan, and there is no need to sell it outside. These cloth shops in Jinan plus the surrounding area, this piece The place is just right. If we occupy this place, we will win. Chen Liuzi and Sanyuan will not be able to sell in these places. In this way, he will not be able to transport them to Jiaodong, and we will crowd them. I think we will issue a notice , designate some counties, other than that, nothing will be sold.” Zi Wenhai smiled: "He counts according to the population. Can Jinan compare with Shanghai? Jinan is surrounded by poor places, how many can afford foreign cloth? They have to sell it elsewhere. It's not possible, wait for Tengjing to come Now, let's tell him to restore the normal price, and compete normally like Chen Liuzi and the others. If he is willing to do this, then he will recruit two factories in Qingdao, one for the same, and one for the compensation. As long as you can afford it." Zi Wenhai breathed heavily through his nose. Zi Youde said: "Father, we should make money first. You are right, we have the same price as Chen Liuzi, let's develop together. I don't think Tengjing has much energy anymore." Zi Wenhai said: "No, even if the price returns to normal, it can't be restored at this time! Let Teng Jing get angry and print the 5,000 pieces. You go to the workshop and notify the start of work. Don't wait for Teng Jing. He didn't tell us to shut it down either. India! We don't care about Qingdao Jiaodong, let's let it go first." Zi Youde stood up: "Father, have you made up your mind?" Zi Wenhai said: "Think it over, let's do it!" Zi Youde went out.Zi Wenhai walked alone in the house, walking up and down.At this time, a supervisor knocked on the door, and Zi Wenhai said loudly, "Come in!" The supervisor came in, grinning at Zi Wenhai.Zi Wenhai was getting angry and asked angrily, "What's the matter with you?" The supervisor bowed: "Chairman, someone came at the door and asked if you still accept the lawsuit?" Zi Wenhai said angrily: "Let him go, don't pick up! There is still a lawsuit, what age is it, and there is still a lawsuit!" Shouting Dongjun and the other four came out of the kitchen in the factory and went to the office.Feihu stood on the landing of the stairs and looked out. Seeing Shouting and the others walking this way, he rushed to make tea as if flying.Shouting saw it from a distance, and said to Dongjun: "Brother Dongjun, Feihu has gone to make tea. Believe it or not, I guarantee that it is green tea." Dongjun said, "How do you know?" Shouting said, "I told him before eating." Dong Jun said: "Shou Ting, you are over forty, why do you still look like you haven't grown up!" Shouting said: "Brother Dongjun, you are right. I don't know what's going on, but I think I'm only in my twenties!" The four of them went upstairs and sat down at the small round table.Feihu brought tea, but before he had time to pour it, Lao Wu came up with a telegram: "The shopkeeper, telegram!" The four stood up together, and Jia Kui snatched it away.Only then did Old Wu say, "He's from Nanjing." "It's from Yuanyi, read it quickly." Shouting said, staring at the telegram. Jiaju read and said: "'Brother Liu, my sister has a son, Liu Jin, Changhe, please give me a name from brother Liu. Sister-in-law Liu is well, don't read it! It's far away."' Everyone was very happy, Dong Jun said: "Sixth brother, this is a good thing, we have to organize those boys and girls and let them go to Nanjing to congratulate." Shouting said: "Let's talk about bestowing the name first, congratulations are the next step. Dongchu, is this bestowing the name for me to name?" Dong Chu said: "That's what it means. Commander Huo thinks highly of Sixth Brother, that's why he asked you to name him. This is to flatter you." Shouting said: "This is nonsense! I can't read, he is an overseas student, let me name it, no, no!" Jia Kui said: "It's okay, I'll send one and send it. Whether it's necessary or not is their business. Let's help Sixth Brother get it." Shouting said: "My nephew is related to me a bit, six catties, as heavy as when I was born. I saw that this nickname is Liu Zi. What do you think?" Dong Chu said: "That won't work. If the child comes to Jinan, my elder brother will sometimes call you Little Six, but who are you and your father called?" Dong Jun also said: "This is not allowed, it is called a violation of respect and taboo, you can't read, you don't know this kind of thing. This is absolutely not allowed." Jia Kui said: "That's not necessarily the case. In the West, children often have the same name as the person they respect the most. Paul John and the like are all Western gods in the Bible. My older child is named Shouzhi, and the younger It's called Tingzhi, which is the name of the sixth brother. I think it's not bad to be called Liuzi, and it seems close." Shouting pointed to Dong Chu and said, "You are still an overseas student! Dong Chu, you are almost at home in China. What a taboo, Liu Zi! This nickname is settled. Jia Kui, when you write a letter to Yuan Yi later, Write down the paragraph you just said. But what is the official name of this? You all talk about it.” Jia Kui was affirmed, very happy, and then said: "Yuan Yi has an otherworldly aura, and in the idiom there is Bingqing Yujie, Sixth Brother, how about Yujie?" Dong Jun said: "No, that's a woman's name, and the general's child cannot be called by such a name." Dong Chu said: "Yes, the name of this soldier's descendant is called out vigorously. I think it is called Yang Wei Xing, showing off his might." Shouting nodded: "What the third child said is a bit interesting, but he is straightforward. Both of them are from Shenyang, and this Shenyang is occupied by the Japanese..." Dong Jun rushed to say: "Yes, it's called Guangfu! Liberate the great rivers and mountains in the Northeast!" Everyone applauded unanimously. Shouting said, "Jia Kui, you don't know much about printing and dyeing, so don't drink this tea, go downstairs and write." "Brother Six, I'm in my forties..." Jia Kui laughed angrily, and stood up as he spoke. Shouting said: "Don't go, brother Dongjun said, you have to send that young woman to Nanjing. The following people are busy in Nanjing for confinement: Dongjun's sister-in-law, the third family, and your jadeite Let’s go together! You go down and call all the girls, let them prepare for the meeting, and then report the gift list.” Dong Jun laughed angrily: "Why are you doing this, just like Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, who are always electrified and sent to the wild?" Old Wu came up again, still holding the telegram: "The shopkeeper, there are two telegrams. I panicked just now and pulled down one. It's from the shopkeeper Sun of Qingdao." Shouting was happy: "Read!" Old Wu read: "'Qingdao Great Victory!' This is the first line, and the following is 'Qingdao is full of models, and Dahua Yuanheng is all in chaos. Youbu continue to send here, and kill these bastards! Mingzu pays respects' .” Shouting patted his thigh and stood up: "Okay, authentic Han Fuju! Han school!" Dong Jun pulled him to sit down: "Sit down! You were startled, just for a moment, and you made me dizzy." 东初说：“六哥，明祖这诗虽属韩派，但是该给訾文海发一份去。” 家驹说：“你们先坐着，我不懂印染，先下去写信。晚上咱好好喝一场，可他娘的出气了！”说着和老吴下去了。 东俊说：“六弟，咱这会儿能开机了吗？” 寿亭说：“开机还不行，还不到时候。我估摸着滕井该想想退路了，他是个老买卖人，虽不懂印染，可是懂得经商。只是訾家那爷儿俩怕是不肯罢休。滕井有布囤在他厂里，他兴许还得给咱捣乱。” 东俊点点头。 东初说：“滕井会不会联合青岛的两个厂，仨厂一块儿压价捣乱？要是那样，咱可真顶不住。” 寿亭说：“他能干出这样的事来。我回头给明祖去电报。那俩厂里都有他的熟人，一有动静，咱很快就知道。东俊哥，怕事没用，咱得想想怎么对付他。” 东俊说：“要是真到了那一步，咱再另说。咱先对付訾家这窝子。六弟，你得想个狠法，咱得弄得他没法干了。” 东初说：“老孔买他一回布行，再去可就不灵了，他们已经加上小心了。訾文海虽说是外行，可那李万岐是个内行。” 寿亭说：“刚才咱是吃炖肉，没腾出嘴来说，接着是远宜这喜事。东俊哥，我有个想法，得拉上林家，咱三家一块干，我自己办不了。” 东俊说：“快说呀！我也是这么想的。”
