Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Seven
Shandong Quanye Bank is a small German-style building on Jinger Road in Jinan.In the morning, Gao Mingjun was negotiating with a small boss who had parted hair when someone knocked on the door.He said softly, "Come in."
Zi Wenhai came in with a briefcase.He is full of vigor, suit and leather shoes, and the old-fashioned glasses have also been replaced by new gold-rimmed glasses.When Manager Gao saw it, he hurriedly walked around the table and came over with his hands outstretched: "Mr. Zi, no, Chairman Zi, you are here so early. Please sit down." He said and pulled him to sit on the sofa.He turned around and said to his subordinates: "Pour tea!" The man went out.
Manager Gao asked: "How is the business? I think Sanyuan and the others have squeezed you down."
Zi Wenhai smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, and this is just the beginning. Ming Jun, look, the fun is yet to come!" He took out a receipt from his briefcase, "Forty-seven thousand, with principal and interest Pay it back together!"
Manager Gao was surprised: "It's so fast!"
Zi Wenhai smiled: "In the past, you were stupid. To be a lawyer, you can earn a lot of money, but now you think about it, it's really boring. To be a lawyer, you have to talk a lot, spend a lot of effort, and offend others. After all, it's still Do business!"
Manager Gao said: "I heard that the cloth in your factory is still losing money!"
Zi Wenhai said: "That's how it's publicized to the outside world, Ming Jun, what am I going to do if I lose money?"
The tea was delivered, and after the teahouse went out, Manager Gao said, "According to what you said, the Sanyuan Zhao family and that Chen Liuzi have made a lot of money!"
Zi Wenhai sighed: "Who said it wasn't. Ming Jun, we started late. If we did it early, what would Miao Handong's money be?"
Manager Gao nodded: "No wonder there are so many dyeing factories in Jinan. This industry is really making money. I have sent people to these factories many times, begging them to loan money from our bank at low interest rates, but they just won't lend. So This business is very profitable!"
Zi Wenhai said: "This business is very profitable, but it is not something ordinary people can afford. The equipment alone is not affordable. Fortunately, with your help, this is the factory. Thank you very much!" "
Manager Gao asked: "Is it okay to get along with your partner?"
Zi Wenhai smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter if you can do it or not, it's just that this person is too timid, and because he doesn't have enough funds, several of my plans can't be implemented. Ming Jun, when we first partnered, many people persuaded me not to let me go. I partnered with him and said that although he has a good personality, he is a scholar and not suitable for doing business. You said, I have never done business, and I don’t know who can use it and who can’t. He is in Shanghai , what do we want to do, we have to send a telegram to inform him, which also delays a lot of business."
Manager Gao rolled his eyes: "Have you ever thought about taking over his shares? Or choose another partner?"
Zi Wenhai smiled: "That can't be done. The factory has just made some money, so we just think like this, which is against my principle of doing things. Now that we have a partnership, we have to keep working. He can only withdraw by himself, and we will not take the initiative to propose Such a thing. Otherwise, once it is spread, our reputation will not be able to bear it!"
Manager Gao nodded: "That's right, this is really not good. But he is in Shanghai, and he doesn't know about the affairs here. Isn't it up to us to make money or lose money?"
Zi Wenhai said solemnly: "Ming Jun, you know, I am a master of law, and I will not do anything illegal. If you earn, you will earn together, and if you pay, you will also pay together. Just do what you want. Ming Jun, you don’t know, when you’re doing business, you’re afraid that your partners won’t get along, and once that happens, both parties will be very embarrassed. Oh, let’s do it like this!”
Manager Gao said, "Hey, I forgot to bring you cigarettes. I don't smoke myself, so I always forget." As he spoke, he went to get cigarettes.
Zi Wenhai held him across the coffee table: "Ming Jun, I don't smoke now. The factory is fire-resistant. I want to set an example and quit smoking. This is a regular factory, and we can't be like Chen Liuzi's local workshop. We are not called directors. The boss is not called the general manager, but he has to be called the sixth brother! It looks like the White Lotus Sect, it looks like a factory!"
Manager Gao applauded: "Mr. Zi, I can see that you are not only a good lawyer, you are also a good businessman."
Zi Wenhai smiled humbly: "It's hard too! Oh, I'm too busy just to make money. Mingjun, how is your business here?"
Manager Gao was helpless: "It's similar to you. Shareholders also have disagreements. In addition, they all have some status in the society. They think they are quite capable, so it is difficult for me to convince them. Our Quanye Bank is originally a private bank. , It should be different from government-run ones. People come to us to save money because of the high interest rate. I have mentioned it several times, but it doesn’t work. They say that the interest rate is high, and the loan interest rate has to be raised. Now The situation is, those who have money don’t lend money, and those who don’t have money don’t dare to borrow. We weigh it all day. In addition, you don’t handle legal matters for me, so you don’t dare to borrow. If the loan dies, who will help? Keep asking for it! Mr. Zi, your change of industry will have an impact on me too!"
Zi Wenhai said: "Since I started a dyeing factory, I have read a lot of books on finance and economics. I think your business ideas here are wrong. In the West, loans are investments in companies, and banks get benefits from the profits of companies." , is a long-term cooperation. As for domestic banks, they value interest. This approach is too naive! Chinese banks cannot be called banks, they can only be called banks, which are very rudimentary financial institutions. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, there is not much progress. The slow development of China's national industry has a lot to do with this bank management method."
Manager Gao listened with great interest and kept nodding.At this time, Zi Wenhai stood up and said goodbye: "I have to go back. The supplier in Shanghai will go to the factory at ten o'clock. Ming Jun, you don't know, everyone in this thousand dyeing factories has come to the factory. There is really no way for various relationships to sell their goods to you."
Manager Gao got up and sent them off: "Mr. Zi, you still have to take care of my business. We have to have a long talk when it's convenient for you. It's been three days since we left, so let's look at it with admiration! After hearing what you said just now, it's been a long time. A lot of insight."
In the East Asia Trading Company, Teng Jing discussed the issue with Miki in the office.
Teng Jing said: "Our ideal candidate is Chen Shouting. Although this person is not friendly to us and has deceived us many times, his business ability is what we need. I want to go to Jinan and talk to him again. He is a A businessman, for whom money comes first. What do you think?"
Miki said: "President, I think if you really want him to contribute to the empire, you can only squeeze him until he has nowhere to go, and let him take the initiative to cooperate with us. Only then can he be willing. Zi Wenhai is too selfish, and there is no Vision. He puts his own fortune first. We only chose him out of helplessness. If we really want to bring Chen Shouting over, there is only one way, and that is to let the two factories in Qingdao join in the dumping. Needless to say, Chen Shouting, maybe even the other family named Zhao would come to beg us. If we didn’t do this, there would be no need for the model dyeing factory in Jinan to continue operating. That factory can’t do it alone, wasting the empire’s resources in vain. Funding. Is that so, President?"
Teng Jing nodded: "Zi Wenhai, I wanted to give up a long time ago, but we haven't recovered the funds we invested, so let's just give up, it's too cheap for him. I hate this person very much."
Miki further said: "President, the financial personnel we sent called yesterday and said that Zi Wenhai drew a check for 47,000 yuan from the factory, repaid the bank loan, and took money from his family to cover it. Why is he doing this? Is he trying to find a way out?"
Teng Jing was startled, and then smiled: "He may be pretending to be a face. He is quite isolated in Jinan."
Miki said: "If we don't do this in Jinan, we have to focus on the whole Shandong as long as we do it. The Chinese are very poor. In addition to food, they just wear clothes. For China, cloth is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, which is the so-called strategic material. Therefore, I suggest that these two factories in Qingdao be added together to increase the bargaining chip and destroy Shandong's printing and dyeing industry in one fell swoop."
Teng Jing nodded slowly: "That's right, if you control the printing and dyeing industry, you will also indirectly control the textile industry, and then move south along Jinpu Road to meet our colleagues in Shanghai. Miki-san, go book a ticket, and I'll handle it." Go to Jinan as soon as you have the matter at hand. At the same time, write an ultimatum to Chen Shouting on the decision we discussed just now, and make an appointment with him at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow for final negotiations. Don't send it early, wait until I arrive in Jinan , can't give him time to think. Got it?"
Miki stood up: "Hi!" bowed and went out.
Teng Jing shook the phone: "Take the office of General Manager Jia of Yuanheng Dyeing Factory." Teng Jing took a group photo of the whole family and looked at it, smiled, and put it down, "Are you Siya? What are you busy with?"
Ms. Jia said: "Return the goods! The warehouse is full. It's all a good thing you did."
Teng Jing smiled: "No problem. I adopted your suggestion, and Dahua Yuanheng will work together. Now you can fully operate the machines in these two factories, Printing Cloth!"
Miss Jia said, "Reprint? Where do you put it?"
Teng Jing said: "Put it in the newly built warehouse at the station. Don't send the printed cloth to the northeast, wait for my telegram. If I can't agree with Chen Shouting, I will send this batch of goods to Jinan. We occupy the entire Shandong market The day is not far away!"
Ms. Jia said coldly: "If we had done this earlier, the Shandong market would have been in our hands. We were greedy for petty gains, and missed the big deal. Well, I'm busy, so I'll hang up!"
Teng Jing said, "Are you coming tonight?"
Miss Jia said: "It's not convenient today, let's talk about it when you come back from Jinan!"
Teng Jing put down the phone and smiled sinisterly.
Zi Youde drank tea with his father in the office, his expression relaxed.Zi Youde said: "This new machine is still faster, and Li Wanqi is really capable. Dad, the two new technicians from Shanghai are also top-notch. They just ask for a raise!"
Zi Wenhai said: "The salary is low, so it should be brought up at that time. The contract has already been decided, and we should act according to the contract. You have morality, remember, we can't agree to whatever he says. We must act in accordance with the law. Regarding the salary increase, wait for the contract." Let’s talk when the time comes!”
Zi Youde said, "What if he leaves?"
Zi Wenhai said: "Then he is asking for trouble. Have you forgotten what we do? As soon as he leaves, the judicial police will immediately go to Shanghai to arrest him. Not only must the money he earned be returned, but he will also have to compensate us. loss."
Zi Youde nodded: "That's right, our wages are higher than Shanghai's, and he won't be able to earn this money when he returns to Shanghai! But, Dad, they brought it up, and they didn't expect to have to work night shifts."
Zi Wenhai said: "Can you give him so much money without working the night shift? There is no provision in the contract not to work the night shift, so ignore them."
Zi Youde said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Dad, but have you noticed that the old house opposite our factory was knocked down, and a new-style house was built just a few days ago. I asked someone to ask, Said it was a trading house, and it will open tomorrow."
Zi Wenhai smiled: "What is strength, this is strength. Why didn't he run to open a shop in a lively place, but came to our door? Just to see our business is booming. First, he wants to do business with us, and then we There are a lot of merchants here, so he can get some credit."
Zi Youde said, "Teng Jing will be here tomorrow, just let him have a look."
Zi Wenhai said: "Youde, I think there may be a change in Tengjing's side. Our goods have gone to Qingdao, so he should have come earlier. There are two possibilities. One is that he didn't think of a good way to do it, and the other is that he has intentions. Back off."
Zi Youde was very nervous: "If he withdraws, what shall we do?"
Zi Wenhai smiled confidently: "What is the three caves of the cunning rabbit? Huh, it's better to withdraw, I've already found my next partner. Quanye Bank! Isn't that a thousand times better than Tengjing?"
Zi Youde was happy: "Yes, that kind of reputation is also good, so we don't have to dare to say who we partnered with all day long. That's good, with the bank behind it, it's much better than Tengjing. Besides, those shareholders of Quanye Bank It is also beneficial for us to have more famous people. Now that the cloth sellers are almost bursting the door, we can completely use Tengjing’s gray cloth.”
Zi Wenhai said: "You have been staring at it for the past few days, and you still worked overnight to print all the 5,000 pieces of cloth. If he wants to ship it away, he has to pay processing fees or offset the equity. Otherwise, not a single piece of cloth can be shipped. This is not the three eastern provinces, he dare not do anything to us!"
At about ten o'clock, the trading house opposite Momo Dyeing Factory opened for business.The sign on the left is "Zhao Chenlinji Printing and Dyeing Textile Trading Co."; on the right are three signs side by side: "Shanghai Linshi Liuhe Dyeing Factory", "Jinan Sanyuan Printing and Dyeing Factory", "Jinan Hongju Printing and Dyeing Factory".The signboard of the advertisement reads "Receipt for additional payment", and each word is half a meter long.
Lu Dengbiao, Manager Zhou of Liuhe Dyeing Factory, and Manager Liu of Sanyuan Dyeing Factory stood at the door.
Three hanging big firecrackers are hanging.A clerk came over and asked Lu Dengbiao: "Manager Lu, how about an order?"
Lu Dengbiao pulled up his sleeves in a hurry: "Damn it, click!"
The three hanging firecrackers were ignited together and rang together.
Zi Youde was startled when he heard the movement in the office, and was about to stand up and go out to have a look, when a supervisor ran in: "Chairman, general manager, it's not good, Sanyuan Hongju and Shanghai Liuhe Dyeing Factory have opened their shop to We're at the door!"
When Zi Wenhai heard this, he hurriedly said to his son, "Go, go and see what's going on?"
Zi Youde came out running away, at this time, the firecrackers had stopped, Deng Biao and the other three turned around and entered the house.Zi Youde came to the trading house with the gunpowder blowing, took a closer look, and saluted with fists together: "Congratulations, who is in charge? I am the general manager of the model dyeing factory."
Deng Biao sat there without moving, squinting his eyes and asked, "You are that Zi Youde that grandma doesn't like and aunt doesn't love? What's the matter?"
Zi Youde heard it: "Why are you talking like that?"
Deng Biao stood up: "I didn't know you had your number, and I heard about it from others. Manager Zi, what advice do you have?"
Zi Youde held back his breath and said, "I want to ask what is the meaning of the additional payment receipt at your door."
Deng Biao raised his face: "Okay, please sit down. Serve tea!"
At this time, Qian Shiheng came in with two minions carrying a plaque on which was written "Cai Yuan Guang Jin".He entered the door and bowed to Dengbiao and cupped his fists: "Manager Lu, Gong Xi Fa Cai! My elder brother can't come here because he has something to do, so I can't show you a small plaque. I hope you can accept it. I hope that your name will make a lot of money every day!"
Seeing Qian Shiheng's polite expression, Zi Youde was a little dumbfounded, and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Second brother is here too."
Qian Shiheng glanced at him: "This is Sanyuan Hongju's business. Ning Wuye sent a telegram from Tianjin, asking me to tell you that you two should take care of you."
Deng Biao said, "Boss Qian, I'm busy today, so I'll make up for the wine another day."
Qian Shiheng cupped his fists: "Don't dare to bother me, I'm leaving." He said and brought two of his subordinates out.
The signage is also sent out.After returning, Deng Biao offered Zi Youde cigarettes and tea.He said, "Manager Zi, what did you just say?"
Zi Youde said, "Oh, I'm asking you what you mean by receiving additional payment."
Deng Biao said, "Hey, it's simple. The receipt is the receipt from your merchant."
Zi Youde said, "Why is that?"
Deng Biao said, "Make money! The cloth in your factory is cheap. We collect it and sell it, especially to Jiaodong."
Zi Youde said: "Aren't you deliberately against us?"
Deng Biao said: "You just said the wrong thing. You and the three of us are against each other. That's why I accepted your order. Your merchant brought cloth from your factory and shipped it back to the local area. At most, add five cents. I think This is too troublesome, we directly add 5% to collect it, so that merchants can save even shipping costs."
Zi Youde was so angry that he was speechless.Deng Biao went on to say, "Actually, you don't have to go through that kind of effort when we're doing business across the street. After printing, just hand it over here. I'll let you earn the five cents. How nice it is!"
Zi Youde said, "I have 5,000 pieces, can you ask for it all at once?"
Manager Zhou interjected, "Let's not talk about five thousand pieces. For a factory like yours, it won't be a problem to accept five at once. You don't know the Lin family in Shanghai, do you?"
Deng Biao sneered: "Manager Zi, if you want to sell a three-foot-two-foot piece, you may be able to make the decision. Five thousand pieces, such a large number, you have to ask the Japanese devils first."
When Zi Youde heard this, he stood up: "What do you mean?"
Deng Biao said: "Manager Zi, I knew Teng Jing when I was in Qingdao, and you didn't know what you were doing at that time! Don't talk about this, Teng Jing booked a train ticket from Qingdao yesterday, and I will arrive in Jinan today. We have been using it for many years. Go back and tell your father! Is there anything else?"
At this time, a merchant came in, and Manager Liu of Sanyuan hurried over to take it over: "Shopkeeper Feng, how much?"
The merchant looked at Zi Youde and dared not say anything.Deng Biao said: "You are afraid of him, the factory will be gone in a few days."
Zi Youde couldn't take it anymore, he flung his hands away angrily.
Deng Biao laughed, pulled up his sleeves, and said to the clerk next to him: "Go, tell the shopkeeper that the business is going well!"
Dude gotta go.The three managers sat down to drink tea.Deng Biao said: "How about it, is it interesting? To deal with such a bastard, you have to give him some tricks."
Manager Zhou said: "You shopkeeper Chen has so many ways!"
Just as he was talking, Manager Liu from Sanyuan Dyeing Factory pointed to the door of the Model Dyeing Factory and said, "Look!"
At this time, two people came out of the model dyeing factory, carrying a big sign, and stood it at the door, with black and white words: "Delivery suspended!" The three laughed.
In the evening, Takashimaya, Teng Jing and Zi Wenhai sat on the floor facing each other.Zi Wenhai looked excited, but Teng Jing was still calm.
Zi Wenhai said: "Mr. Teng Jing, don't bother with Chen Liuzi tomorrow, let's start. I must squeeze them to death!"
Teng Jing retorted: "Mr. Zi, you are not responsible for the loss, I can't stand it myself!"
Zi Wenhai suddenly became very magnanimous: "Okay, I will bear the loss. Even if I pay out the whole factory, I will work with Chen Liuzi to the end! Even my family's thousand acres of land in the countryside!"
Teng Jing said: "You should have done this a long time ago! Mr. Zi, I will go tomorrow and tell Chen Shouting our thoughts. I guess he will admit defeat on the spot. Mr. Zi, Chen Shouting is used to turning enemies into friends. At the beginning, he and Sun Mingzu were enemies in Qingdao, and now Sun Mingzu helped him attack us in Qingdao. This spring, he and Lin Xiangrong were at odds, and now they are united again. Can you say that he will not turn our enemies into friends? No Definitely. His usual method is to make you admit defeat first, and then become friends with you. This time, we are going to change the rules for him. We must first let him admit defeat, and then become partners. Mr. Zi, you have eaten a little today Angry, it’s nothing, I will ask Chen Shouting to apologize to you later. Mr. Zi, you should know that we have paid a very high price for involving Dahua and Yuanheng. I have thought about this issue for a long time, and it is not a last resort, we can’t do this Do!"
Zi Wenhai said: "If he is not afraid of this..."
Teng Jing laughed loudly, and then said: "The three of them may be able to collect the cloth, but what will they do after collecting it? Wherever they transport the cloth, they hit the market there. They only collect the cloth, and their own Is the dyeing factory still working? The reason why he went to the opposite of the model dyeing factory to collect cloth is to run his own dyeing factory well. Mr. Zi, you should see that he has no way to do it, because of our impact If he doesn’t accept it, his own dyeing factory won’t be able to operate. Now he can anti-dump to Qingdao, and we have given up Qingdao, so where will he sell it? You wait, Chen Shouting will sit down tomorrow night. Here, I apologize to you with a glass of wine! I'm sure of that."
Zi Wenhai nodded: "It's just that I'm so angry, I'm almost confused. Come on, let's have a toast!"
The two drank it all in one gulp.After putting down his wine glass, Teng Jing asked: "Mr. Zi, you have to bear some of the loss. If we bring in Chen Shouting, he will also bear some of it. In the future, after we occupy the dyeing cloth market in Shandong, we will raise the price , the ones who benefit the most are you and Chen Shouting."
Zi Wenhai said, "Let's discuss it later in time."
Teng Jing laughed loudly: "If it was Chen Shouting sitting opposite, I don't think he would say that."
Zi Wenhai asked, "What would he say?"
Teng Jing said: "Because as long as he enters our ranks, we will not lose money. Because his factory and the model factory add up, as long as the price of his factory is reduced a little, Sanyuan Dyeing Factory can't stand it, and then they will defect to us. Yes. As for Lin Xiangrong, he will also take the initiative to withdraw from the Shandong market. In this way, we will go all the way south along Jinpu Road and meet our colleagues in Shanghai. Mr. Zi, do you still hate Chen Shouting now?"
Zi Wenhai looked very naive: "If he has the same goals as us, of course I won't hate him. Come on, Mr. Teng Jing, do it!"
The two drank it all in one gulp.Zi Wenhai smiled and said, "If you had come earlier, I would have prevented Youde from going home to sell the land. There was no telegram in Jiyang County, and the notification was too late."
Teng Jing smiled and said, "Land is worthless. A thousand acres of land can be sold for 10,000 yuan at most. But I see your determination. This makes me the happiest."
Zi Wenhai said: "I have made up my mind. I will follow Mr. Teng Jing to the end and make a fortune together!"
The two laughed.
At Dongjun's house, Dongjun brothers are drinking, and Wang Ma is serving food.
Dong Jun looked at the watch on the wall: "Call your sixth brother again?"
Dong Chu said: "Don't fight, he said that if he can't think of a way, he won't come here. Alas, the sons of Zi's family! Come on, brother, no matter what, we are so scared today that he dare not Shipped, we won the first battle first."
Dong Jun held up the cup sullenly: "These wives have gone to Nanjing, and they seem to have lost a lot of people at home. If your sixth brother doesn't come, you should call Jia Kui, the three of us can have a little more fun."
Dongchu said: "Brother, you are really old. Jiaju has been in Tianjin for many days! The sixth brother is to prevent Tengjing from transporting the cloth to Tianjin, so he sent Jiaju there."
Dongjun shook his head, lamenting that he had a bad memory.The brothers clinked glasses.
Dong Chu said: "Teng Jing will have a final talk with Sixth Brother at ten o'clock tomorrow, and the telegram sent is directly an ultimatum. I asked for that telegram and sent it to Lin Xiangrong as it is. Brother, if Teng Jing really The two factories in Qingdao also sneaked in to do this, and we will be in trouble. Sixth brother is also not energetic this afternoon, and I think he is also scared!"
Dong Jun said: "Who is not afraid! If that happens, all our hard work these years will be over. Alas, since Lin Zexu banned smoking, our country has never won against foreigners. The Japanese are not foreigners, they can only be called Japanese. Slave. Even this Japanese slave can’t win. There are so many ships in the Beiyang Fleet, and it can be defeated by others. I think this country is really coming to an end. Even if we, your sixth brother, and the Lin family, then How strong is it? Can it be Tengjing’s opponent? We don’t drop any of the taxes and donations all day long, but why doesn’t this country come out to support us? If our country is strong, it will be like the United States and Britain. Yes, what the fuck Teng Jing, I kicked him out a long time ago! Speaking of this, I am so angry. The newspapers are all about the **** victory of the communist suppression all day long, let Japan occupy it The three provinces in the Northeast, which kind of Communist Party did you suppress? We have never seen the Communist Party, anyway, the Communist Party did not force us into a corner. But the Japanese devils can force us to do this. You use those money, those people, and those guns on the Japanese, Let's get some more money and not be aggrieved. That's good, a Tengjing came, not as tall as Sanfang Tofu, and it disturbed our minds. It sounds good, but it scares us. !” After speaking, he picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp.
Dong Chu also sighed: "Brother, don't be angry, we can't control these things, just let fate!"
Dongjun said: "What if you don't resign yourself to fate? Now your sixth brother is still at home and is so anxious to go around? That day, Brother Miao, your sixth brother and I were having dinner together. Brother Miao said, our country If we are strong enough, with the ability of us people, we can put foreigners down! We can sell our products all over the world! At that time, I listened, and my heart was open! But after dinner, from the restaurant As soon as I come out, I feel really boring when I think about the bad things in front of me!"
Dongchu asked: "Brother Miao, is the business okay?"
Dong Jun said: "He runs a flour mill, and Japan doesn't produce food, so it's better."
Dong Chu said: "In the afternoon, Lin Xiangrong received a telegram from the model dyeing factory to stop shipments. He was very happy and immediately replied to the telegram to congratulate him. Anyway, the Zi family is convinced today."
Dong Jun said: "Tomorrow we should be convinced. Third son, that son of a bitch from the Zi family will do this again. If Dahua Yuanheng gets involved again, he can no longer keep this thing. A few days ago, you six When my brother didn’t come up with this method, the machine stopped in our factory, and I was so anxious that I turned straight in the office. I had the idea of killing Zi Wenhai several times. Ning Laowu came to give gifts on August 15th and asked me Several times, has anyone bullied us? At that time, Zi’s house hadn’t opened yet. Now, I wouldn’t hesitate to tell Ning Lao Wu directly! If you get rich, get rich, he and Quanye Bank are as good as one person It’s like, helping that bear loan shark bank killed several families. Others don’t partner with you, you partner with Quanye! It’s not like you don’t know that the Japanese occupy the three eastern provinces. Why do you still do these tricks? What about killing your mother and selling your ancestors? I'm so mad!"
Dongchu said: "Brother, unless it is absolutely necessary, you can't tell Fifth Brother Ning about this matter. Brother, it's still the same sentence, or our country can't do it. If Zi Wenhai is wiped out, people like Zi Wenhai will come out. Big brother , you listen to brother, put this idea down. Sixth brother will not let you do this either. "
Dong Jun looked up to the sky and sighed, "What kind of life is this?"
In the Lin mansion at night, Lin Xiangrong was discussing the problem with his father, and the father and son looked worried.
Lin Xiangrong said: "I don't think Teng Jing would do such a thing?"
Master Lin said: "I haven't seen this person for many years. I heard from Shouting that he has changed a lot and is quite arrogant. Today gave him such a big blow, can he let it go?"
Lin Xiangrong tentatively said: "As far as Chen Shouting's personality is concerned, will he submit to it?"
Master Lin sighed: "Oh, a person's ability is limited. Ah Rong, do you know what I'm most worried about?"
Lin Xiangrong said, "I can't guess, Dad."
Master Lin said: "As for Qingdao Dahua Yuanheng doing this together, it is entirely possible, even inevitable! I am afraid that Chen Shouting will sell Hongju to Tengjing under the coercion and lure of Tengjing. Once Hongju If we can't hold on any longer, Sanyuan will be ruined, not to mention the other small dyeing factories in Jinan. Together, these factories will go all the way to Shanghai along Jinpu Road, and our market will collapse. The consequences of using Chen Shouting's ability will be unimaginable."
Lin Xiangrong was sweating when he heard this, stared at his father and said, "Then what should we do?"
Master Lin sighed and shook his head.
Lin Xiangrong said: "Then we can only do business with the government army."
Master Lin: "Is that kind of business still interesting now? If we don't pay so much money, do we still want to sink in?"
Lin Xiangrong took out a cigarette: "Dad, can I have a cigarette?"
Master Lin said, "Let's smoke it." After speaking, he looked at the word "Forget Too Much" on the wall, and sighed, "Forget too much, even the Japanese devils can't forget it!" He said with a wry smile, "What kind of government is this! They know how hard it is for us!"
Lin Xiangrong said: "Father, is there any other way to deal with it?"
Master Lin smiled: "It's probably too late to talk about it now."
Lin Xiangrong said: "Dad, let's talk about it!"
Master Lin said: "I want to invite Chen Shouting to Shanghai, so that even if Hongju Sanyuan is sold, our market will not be destroyed soon. If this person is used by Tengjing, it may not be until the end of the year. The Jiangbei market will be completely lost, I really shudder to think about it!"
Lin Xiangrong said: "What use is he alone? If you want, invite Zhao Dongchu and the others together, and leave empty factories for Tengjing."
Master Lin took a telegram, looked at it and smiled: "I really like Chen Shouting. Tomorrow, he will negotiate with Teng Jing, knowing that he can't win, and still telling jokes in the telegram. Your mother also said that this person is interesting." .Look at it."
Lin Xiangrong took the telegram with both hands, and said lightly, "'Uncle Lin, tomorrow my nephew will use the river patrol cannon of the senior to attack Tengjing.' Haha! Dad, why didn't you show it to me earlier?"
Master Lin said: "I forgot about it in a hurry. The telegram from Dongchu first came with 200 characters. It was an ultimatum from Tengjing. Alas, entrepreneurs of your generation did not catch up with the good times! Then again , Has China ever had a good time?" As he spoke, he also laughed.Master Lin thought for a while, and then said: "Our family is still called a comprador. In fact, the era of compradors has long passed. If we don't pass, will we get involved in business?"
Lin Xiangrong was a little happy. After his father finished speaking, he said, "Father, does Sixth Brother have a solution?"
Master Lin said: "What can I do? This is just an attitude before dying." Master Lin looked at his son very gently, "Xiangrong, I want to hear your opinion. If I invite Chen Shouting , give him 30% of Lin's shares, can you agree?"
Lin Xiangrong said: "If it is useful, of course, but..."
Master Lin raised his hand to interrupt him: "Wait for the telegram tomorrow. If I don't receive a telegram from Chen Shouting at five o'clock, I will go to Jinan. You send someone to wait at the telegraph office. I will fight Teng Jing to the death. The market just collapsed like this, Chinese businessmen are not so bearish!"
Lin Xiangrong stood up: "Okay, I will listen to my father."
Master Lin also stood up: "Just write it down." Lin Xiangrong hurriedly got his pen and notebook.Master Lin looked at the dark window: "Sell the factory but not the people, the high bird enters the high forest, the green hill is still there, there is always a second spring! You go to the telegraph office now and send it urgently!"
At this time, lightning cracked the sky, followed by thunder.Master Lin's expression became more and more tragic.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Dongjun brothers sat anxiously in Shouting's office.Old Wu comforted him: "Certainly come before ten o'clock, Teng Jing said ten o'clock. Big shopkeeper, drink tea."
Dong Jun looked at the watch on the wall: "Old Wu, please make another call. Jia Kui too, you can come back after finishing the business in Tianjin! One more person, one more heart. I am so anxious."
Old Wu said: "Just called, but no one answered, he is also anxious!"
At this time, Feihu came in with the telegram, Lao Wu took it and opened it, and handed it to Dongjun: "It's from the Lin family in Shanghai. Alas!"
After Dongjun Dongchu finished reading the telegram, he pulled Lao Wu over and said, "Old Wu, you can do it this way, don't show this telegram to Shouting, don't vent his anger. Wait until he finishes talking with Teng Jing , let’s give it to him again.”
Old Wu hesitated, Dong Jun said: "Old Wu, I will take care of the accident, don't worry about it." He said and put the telegram in his pocket.
At this time, Teng Jing came in, and when he saw Dong Chu, Dong Jun took the initiative to say: "The two Mr. Zhao are also here. Haha!"
Dong Chu stood up and glared angrily: "Hmph, don't get complacent too early, your soldiers haven't reached Jinan yet!" He said angrily.
Lin Mansion, Master Lin sat there looking at the watch on the wall, it was nine fifty, and heaved a long sigh.
My wife came over and said distressedly: "You have been sitting here since four o'clock at night..."
Master Lin got up and held his wife's hand: "Shumin, in ten minutes, Chen Shouting will have a talk with Teng Jing. Over the years, I have never been so worried as I am now. Sit down and talk with me. "Speaking, he took his wife to sit on the mahogany bench over there.The wife took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
Master Lin patted his wife's hand: "Shumin, find out my suit later and have it ironed. I haven't worn a suit since Xiangrong took over the factory. Now, it's time to put it on again."
The wife nodded and leaned on Master Lin's shoulder with tears in her eyes.
Teng Jing sat alone in Shouting's office, and Feihu guarded there, as if he was afraid that Teng Jing would steal something.
Dongchu Dongjun was walking up and down in Old Wu's room downstairs.At this time, Dongchu saw Shouting walking slowly through the window with a melancholy expression.They ran to the door and wanted to say something, but Shouting raised his hand to let them go back.
Shouting went upstairs and opened the door, Teng Jing stood up, Shouting motioned him to sit down, and sat down on the chair beside the small round table himself: "Old Teng Jing, you made it very clear in your telegram, I know everything If you have anything to say, just say it directly." The voice was very low.
Teng Jing said, "I don't think Mr. Chen is happy!"
Shouting smiled: "I can be happy when you have soldiers pressing down on you?"
Teng Jing said: "Why does Mr. Chen say that? Can't we unite?"
Shouting sighed: "What if I don't join forces with you?"
Teng Jing smiled: "Mr. Chen is such a shrewd person, can he do such a stupid thing? I don't believe that Mr. Chen would do that."
Shouting said: "This smart man is sometimes stupid. When I want to follow the Japanese, I feel awkward. I want to practice with you for a while. I really can't train you, so I will follow you again."
Teng Jing laughed: "Mr. Chen really knows how to joke. If I continue to practice, I will hurt all of Mr. Chen's property. When it really comes to that time, everyone will lose face. Why bother! Mr. Chen is in business because he wants to make a fortune." ，咱们合在一起发财有什么不好？不要这样固执，咱们是多年的老朋友了。”
寿亭冷冷一笑：“咱们是多年的老朋友了。从我在青岛干染厂开始，咱们就认识。那时候我二十多岁，你就帮着我买机器，还卖给我便宜机器。那时候咱俩都年青，那时候你多好，还请我喝日本的清酒，你喝醉了，还给我唱日本歌。我也请你到我家吃饺子。咱俩还一块去钓鱼。那时候你多好，那么有礼貌，见了谁都鞠躬。唉，你现在却来催我。想起来，滕井哥，你做得不对呀！”说罢，寿亭低下了头。
滕井也有些感伤：“陈先生，寿亭，我从来没这样称呼过你。人的一生非常短暂，咱们在一起，算起来也快二十年了。商业的交往中，我胜也好，负也好，咱俩从没真正伤害过彼此的感情。我想买你青岛的工厂，你不卖，确实是我让人向卢先生家放的枪，这是我从商当中的一个污点。但是，寿亭，帝国的使命所迫，我也有难言的苦衷。这次也是一样。如果你能与我合作，你的工厂我会出一个很高的价钱，高得让你意外，但条件是陈先生必须出任总经理，不能再给我一座空厂了。陈先生，你就算帮我个人一个忙好吗？”
寿亭抬起头来，笑笑，看向窗外，表情十分茫然。
滕井说：“你现在就说个数吧，我不会驳你面子的。”
寿亭说：“要卖也不是现在，我还得和你再练一阵子。如果我真的败了，我一分钱不要，宏巨染厂归你，我跟着你干。”
滕井说：“那有什么意义呢？现在青岛的两个工厂日夜开机，就等我的电报，只要他们接到我们谈判失败的消息，整列车的布就会像洪水一样涌来。”滕井向前移了一下身子，“我请教一下，陈先生你，还有林祥荣、三元，你们能顶得住吗？这种抵抗有意义吗？你们的军队都一枪不放，你这是干什么呢？”
寿亭笑笑：“我要是和那些窝囊废一样，还用你费这么大的劲？还是那句话，我们是老朋友了，大家各自都留下些面子，我们也都老了。你就收回成命吧。真要是干起来，大家都不好！国民政府虽然狗屁不是，但中国的商人比他们强得多。以后你到济南来，不要是这种样子来，来逼我和你合伙。我们应该是朋友，如果那样，我会请你吃饺子。好吗，滕井哥？”
滕井纳闷儿地问：“你的意思是我们谈判失败了？”
寿亭冷冷一笑：“我本来也没想成功，只是觉得老朋友不应当弄得太僵了。”
滕井站起来：“寿亭，我的老朋友，别怪我，我发电报通知青岛开始发货了。”
寿亭也站起来，冷笑道：“滕井哥，你这是要走吗？”
滕井脸上一喜：“陈先生，我们还能再谈？”
寿亭冷笑着，看着滕井，良久，慢慢地说：“滕井先生，本来我是想让你发货的，我已张开了大网，正等着你呢！但是，朋友一场，我让你免过一劫吧！”说着，去桌子的抽屉里拿出一摞纸，递给滕井，“滕井哥，看完之后，你就会知道你错了。'
滕井十分惊讶，接过那摞文件来，看着看着，头上的汗都出来了。寿亭点上土烟冷冷地看着他。滕井看完之后，原地站好，规规矩矩给寿亭鞠了一个躬。寿亭拉着他坐下：“滕井哥，当初卖给你空厂的那件事儿，咱俩扯平了。”
滕井问：“陈先生，不说这些。我想知道，你怎么想到的，能告诉我吗？”
寿亭说：“很简单，水往低处流，货往高处走。訾文海一开业，我就料到你会有这一手。我就派出十多个人去了东北。你们控制着整个东北市场，东北的染色布两毛八一尺，花布三毛二一尺。你们真狠呀，那是榨中国人的油呀！除了你们日本本国来的那大光牌、和平牌，只有你的思雅牌可以进入东北。”
寿亭的声音很低，滕井脸上神色绝望。
寿亭继续说：“你为什么一开始不拿青岛的两个厂和我拼？为什么？因为你们在东北能得到暴利，你舍不得。你知道我天津开埠染厂的布卖到哪里去了吗？就是卖到你那鸡巴满洲国去了！那叫走私！在中国自己的土地上走私！滕井，你知道现在有多少人在往东北走私布吗？成千上万！小的几丈，大的几件。你还运到济南来？根本不用，我在青岛就给你全收了。我要是把一毛二的布装上火车，沿着唐山——古冶——滦县一字摆开，根本不用到什么山海关，一下子就把你东北的市场冲垮了。你们在东北实行的是专营制度，那些日本商人一看你不通过专营，私自卖布，甚至参与走私，告到你们国内，滕井哥，你还有命吗？”
滕井点点头，擦汗，双手直抖。
寿亭继续说：“你还拿着大华元亨吓唬我，好，来吧，有多少我要多少！我再从热河外围给你摆开一字长蛇阵，沿着察哈尔穿过草原全线向东北扩散。这是你们占了东北，要不，我低价把你的布买过来，给你运到日本去！滕井，你知道卢家驹先生干什么去了吗？”
滕井惊异地看着寿亭：“陈先生，你要告诉我。”他哀求着。
寿亭冷冷一笑：“他就在唐山，他和我天津的两个高级经理正在待命，另外还有东三省最大的八个'走私贩子'。一个月之前，我就收了你一千件布，我现在一个电报，他们就开始放货，立刻沿着铁路向东北冲！顶多四天，绥中、兴城、锦州、新民一直到沈阳，全是你低价的思雅牌！滕井先生，你希望这样吗？”
滕井脸色蜡黄：“陈先生，不要这样做，不要这样做，我知道你是很讲义气的。”他双手拉着寿亭，抬着脸。
寿亭拉起滕井的手：“滕井哥，我没等你把货发出来，就把我的这套计策告诉了你，你知道这是为什么吗？”
滕井流着眼泪：“我，我不知道。”
寿亭拉着他坐下，轻轻地说：“我看着你还是个商人，曾经是我的朋友。滕井哥，二十多年了，何必呢？听我一句话，别和訾文海那样的人来往了，那样的人不值得和他做买卖。你也别整天到处帝国帝国的，五六十岁了，这样不好！让人家笑话。你回青岛以后，把钱汇到我账上，我把那一千件给你发回青岛。我也不要高价，可以吗？”
滕井站起来：“陈先生，我不管两国之间怎么样，今天你让我看到了什么是朋友。我告辞了。真对不起你！”说着深深地慢慢地鞠了个躬，擦着眼泪出去了。
寿亭送他到楼下，二人作别。滕井上了汽车，寿亭在原地抱着肩膀冷冷地发笑。
