Chapter 17 Hengli

[17] Hengli

He Wannian was supposed to persuade Yao Fan, but now he was taken into the ditch by Yao Fan, thinking that if Yao Fan was targeted, wouldn't it be equivalent to targeting himself?

Yao Fan saw He Shicheng wavering and was secretly happy. He continued to drag He Wannian's crooked thoughts and ran around: "Brother He, do you have any way to kill this Guo family? I'm afraid that if I provoke this local snake this time, I will be tricked by him if I don't pay attention to it. If I get bitten by this local snake, won't it be disgusting for both of us?

He Wannian is now confused by Yao Fan's solemn incident. Isn't this really a jealousy? Is it true that the Guo family wants to give a majesty to foreign sea merchants?

But after all, He Wannian is old. It's not easy for Yao Fan to encourage him. After a long time of hesitation, He Wannian advised thoughtfully: "Brother Yao, since you have used money, you must be able to come back with Lord Wei's official prestige. I think it's better not to to toss around after this. As long as you are careful of the Guo family, it is ."

Yao Fan knew that the key to persuading others was whether he was resolute enough. He shook his head: "People don't hurt the tiger, and tigers can eat people's hearts. Although this enemy is not appropriate to solve the knot, if it is knotted, it must be separated. I inquired about Guo Jixiu. He is a strong master. When he saw that I was a newcomer, he would not rest with me. If I compromise and surrender, the end may be a dead word.

Seeing Yao Fan say this, He Wannian sat blankly for a long time. In his pawnshop career, although there were also secret battles in the mall, they were all competing according to the rules. He had never been out of line, let alone had a major conflict with the local family, no matter what the reason was, not once.

However, He Wannian carefully considered Guo Jixiu's reputation and past rumors, and thought about what Yao Fan said, "Look at the problem through appearance and see the essence through the phenomenon." After thinking about it, he felt that Yao Fan's words were indeed reasonable.

"This is a matter of side selection!" He Wannian's heart skipped and immediately made up his mind. He said, "Since Brother Yao and I have cooperated in such a big business, we should be together. What Brother Yao said is reasonable. There must be no intention to harm others, and there must be no intention to prevent others. Although we pay attention to harmony and make money in business, we can't let others kick their faces. Now that we have offend the Guo family, we really need to guard against him, care about him and probe him in the future.

Yao Fan carefully thought about his words and said that although the Chinese businessmen were full of words, they still adhered to pragmatism. And his persuasion did play a role. He Wannian's attitude was not ambiguous and completely turned to himself.

"Brother He* suits me. Your He family has a deep relationship with the local area. Please inform the people to pay more attention to the Guo family in the future. If there is a chance, we will kick him to death. Anyway, Brother He stopped talking to me last night. Did you know that something had happened to Chunmiantang at that time?

He Wannian blushed and did not answer directly. He said in a roundabout way, "To tell you the truth, his participation in the early sail business is equivalent to my He family's participation in the morning sail business, and a small part of my capital is also invested by relatives. Now that Guo Jixiu and Brother Yao can't get along, it is to damage my He family, and the He family can't agree. Now that I have torn my face, I simply have a fight for victory or defeat.

Yao Fan will naturally not hide it at this time to pursue He Wannian. He encouraged: "Brother He, it is very important that you can stand on the same front with me, which is beneficial to us and our family, and is also crucial to the future development of business.

There is an old saying in my family that 'unity is power'. Although your He family's foundation in officialdom is not as strong as that of the Guo family, you can talk about your familiarity with the local area and is not inferior to it at all. Although I am foreign and have no foundation in the local area, in terms of material and financial resources, I do not lose to the Guo family, so my two work together to make the Guo family lose a threat to us sooner or later. And our united battle will certainly raise our friendship to a new height of solidarity.

He Wannian said that Yao Fan has a lot of new words, and unity is strength, which is really reasonable. However, he is really cautious, because a woman actually smells a lot of dangerous signals and deliberately strangles the Guo family as a hidden danger.

Yao Fan seemed to see He Shicheng's thoughts and frowned and said, "It's not that I have to repay, but the justice of the Qing Dynasty is too blind. The Guo family has a backer in the officialdom and is powerful in the local area. If it is a planned blow to me, I may not be able to avoid it. Brother He, do you think I should sit and wait for death?

There is an old saying in my family that we should treat each other as warm as spring, and treat our enemies as cruel and ruthless as winter. Brother He, take your time to think about it.

He Wannian's eyes widened and looked at Yao Fan. In his heart, he had raised Yao Fan's status to a new height.

Who is the most terrible person in the world? Not a hooligan, nor a martial arts hooligan, because since he can be a hooligan, he always has two brushes in his hand. To say that what is really terrible is a reasonable hooligan. If this hooligan is not only reasonable, but also has theories that can prove his truth, this is a hooligan.

The three sentences Yao Fan inadvertently said, "unity is power", "see the problem through the appearance, see the essence through the phenomenon", "treat comrades as warm as spring, and treat the enemy as cruel and ruthless as winter", which made He Wannian's thoughts continuously impact. He Wannian felt that the Yao family's family motto was really great, and he must try to learn from the rest of his children another day.

He Wannian came to his senses and reminded him, "Brother Yao, beware of returning home. At present, our first priority is to shop out and return funds."

"I have written a business letter, and the Communications Bureau has sent it to various businesses around Zhili and Jiangnan. I think we have more goods but few subcolons. If we all go to retail, it will be too slow. We should sell them together with wholesale."

Yao Fan agreed, "That's good. Fast words are the hard truth."

After He Wannian left, Yao Fan personally carried 20,000 taels of silver bills, took his friends He Shicheng and Wang Chuannian as bodyguards, and ran to Hengli Gold Store to exchange gold. Because Hengli's brand price is fixed in the main store, it has not changed after Yao Fan's last exchange, and it is still 16.59. After calculating the fire consumption, you should get a full 38 kilograms of gold.

But the problem comes again. Hengli doesn't have so much gold at present, and there are only more than 40 catties of gold in the treasury. This is the last time Yao Fan specially told Hengli to come to exchange it after ten days, so he specially drew it from nearby states and counties to prepare it.

Yao Fan just came to exchange for gold a few days ago. How could Hengli's man not recognize him when he came again?

Zhang Baichuan, the owner of Hengli's semicolon in Qingdao, immediately greeted him in person. He saw a thin middle-aged man wearing a black melonskin hat, a blue shirt, black cloth shoes, white socks, and a white face without a beard came out.

He made two bows to Yao Fan in a row, ordered Yao Fan to show tea and chat with Yao Fan warmly, which made people feel very kind and enthusiastic.

There are often some connections between businessmen these days. Zhang Baichuan also thought so and asked directly, "I heard that Boss Yao's business abroad is very large. I wonder if there is a branch in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan and other places? Have you ever had any contact with the sub-sections of my Hengli Gold Store before?

Yao Fan looked at the clerk who was busy calling him gold at the counter and replied, "Business, we are familiar with each other. Aren't we already getting along?"

Zhang Baichuan was stunned and then smiled and said, "That's right, but I hope Boss Yao will come and go well in the future. There is nothing to say about my Hengli's credit."

Yao Fan followed his memory of history and said that when the eight-nation coalition forces enter Beijing to grab a fierce one and move up your four Heng capital bank, you will all be finished at that time. Credit is a good use.

"Boss Zhang, to get back to the point, I don't have enough gold here. Do you think I smashed your signboard? Or smash your signboard? Or hit your signboard? You choose by yourself."

Zhang Baichuan reacted for a long time and smiled awkwardly, "Boss Yao is really funny. Don't worry. 76 catties of gold can be collected by Hengli in three days."

Yao Fan had no choice but to say, "That's all. Now you can give me 40 catties in the library first. Normally, last time I told your guys that I would need a lot of gold in the future, but you are so stingy that you can't even exchange 20,000 taels.

Zhang Baichuan said awkwardly, "Why don't you say hello to me in advance in the future, so that I can arrange it in advance so that the sea ship can transfer you from Tianjin and Shanghai."

Yao Fan said, "This idea is okay. Then I'll be with you first* this time. You give me 40 catties first, and the remaining 36 catties will be given next time."

Zhang Baichuan shook his fist in front of his chest and bowed, "*, Boss Yao has to pay for the fire first."

Yao Fan doesn't care about this, so he paid the rest of the gold consumption in advance.

Yao Fan lowered his head and played with the tea with the lid of the bowl and asked, "I don't know if Hengli has any discount for big customers?"

Qingdaokou is a small place. Of course, Zhang Baichuan knows that Yao Fan's goods have just been shipped into the city. He heard that Yao Fan had hundreds of boxes of goods, all of which were high-quality foreign goods.

In the eyes of businessmen, so much freight coming in is equivalent to a torrent of silver flowing in the middle. If Yao Fan is willing to put all the silver in Hengli, it will be a great achievement for the small Hengli branch in Qingdao.

Zhang Baichuan had such a calculation as early as after Yao Fan came to exchange gold for the first time. Coincidentally, Yao Fan came to his door today. Of course, he could not miss the opportunity.

"Boss Yao is asking the right person. I dare not tell others, but Boss Yao, you are a sea merchant, importing thousands of boxes of foreign goods at a time. I am naturally willing to have a long-term relationship with you in such a big business."

Yao Fan did not talk to Zhang Baichuan and said bluntly, "That's just a ship of goods. In the future, when my big ship comes here, there will be more than a thousand boxes.

But I don't like silver. I like gold. Silver is too heavy to transport overseas.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea. Yao Fan continued: "I know that Boss Zhang means to look at me. I'm easy to talk to. If Hengli can give me a discount on fire consumption, I will exchange all my money in Hengli in the future."
