Romanian Eagle

Chapter 67 - Rubber hazards



   Zhang Agou followed the employee and came to the office of the company owner Sterry on the third floor. Zhang Agou bent forward and asked carefully Sterry, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the scenery of the Huangpu River outside. “I have seen the boss, and I don’t know what I have to order.”

   After hearing Zhang Agou’s question, Sterry continued to look at the scenery outside and asked. “What happened to what I asked you to do.”

   “Now I have found a lot of people to let them spread the word about the fact that our foreign bank is now able to distribute rubber stocks to pay dividends. Now the street is basically aware of this news.”

  Stray listened to his answer to himself. Sterry still knows this man named Zhang Agou. People at the bottom of the society have no education and don’t want to work hard. They are well-versed in the gossip. They think about where to find some money every day, which is better than the ruffian. Now they need a person like this to understand the city’s every move. And when it is not convenient for them to leave, they can let Zhang, who is a local, negotiate.

   “Zhang, you did a good job, I can see it. Now I need you to do another thing for me.”

   “Boss, please give orders.” Zhang Agou, who doesn’t know his future fate, is very grateful to the boss who speaks Chinese fluently than himself. When he heard that he had something to do, he quickly stepped forward to show his loyalty.

   “I want you to go to the leader of this city gang, and ask them to find someone to help us promote the company’s stock. Can you do it?” Sterry turned around and watched him say his request.

   “No problem, the boss is on my body.” I heard that it was too simple to let myself find a gang. For Zhang Agou, who has been in the bottom line since he was a child, gangs are part of his life.

  Stray continued. “Zhang, this time you will come forward and you can give them three thousand taels of silver as a reward, but it will take them one hundred and fifteen people for four months.”

   Zhang Agou was also taken aback when he heard the compensation offered by his boss. Five or two a month, which is four times the wages of ordinary workers now, and they can still get four consecutive months. This made Zhang Agou almost stepped forward to check whether his boss was suffering from epilepsy.

   Of course, this is not Sterry’s madness, this is the result of careful calculation. If you want to open the situation quickly, spending money is the best way. Buying an office building at a high price and hiring people to do things at a high price are all for this result. Sterry wants to tell people all over Shanghai that Willis Rubber Company doesn’t care about these small amounts of money, because it has better money.

   “Boss, is the price a bit higher?” Zhang Agou still felt that he should remind him of his loyalty.

   “Do I need you to teach me how to do it.” Faced with Zhang Agou’s question, Sterry felt it necessary to beat him.

   “The boss is my talker, this time I will definitely do this thing beautifully.” Zhang Agou, who had failed to watch his faithfulness, quickly remedied it, not forgetting to slap himself a few times, really a good dogleg.

   “You can go to the Finance Department to get the money to do business.” Sterry said to Zhang Agou. After speaking, I suddenly felt that although this person is not a good person, but knowing how to figure out people’s minds can relieve the pressure in my heart.

   After Zhang Agou walked out of Sterry’s office, he put away his flattery appearance. I don’t have any other abilities to manage myself, but I’m still a good hand at observing words and trying to figure out people’s minds. Zhang Agou, who was walking in the corridor, was a bit contented to evaluate himself in his heart, and almost collided with a figure when he walked around the corner.

   “Zhang, don’t you walk and watch.” Stocker, who was almost hit, scolded Zhang Agou in English.

   Seeing that he almost ran into the boss butler, he didn’t understand his bird language, but Zhang Agou knew that this was not a good thing by looking at the expression, so he quickly changed to a flattering expression and nodded and bowed to apologize to him. “Mr. Stocker, sorry, sorry, I didn’t notice.”

   Although Stocker’s Chinese is very poor, he didn’t understand Zhang Agou’s words, but he knew the meaning of his facial expressions. After Stocker waved to him, he walked directly to Sterry’s office. Seeing that Stocker didn’t mean to blame, Zhang Agou hurried to do what Sterry explained.

  Stocker walked into Sterry’s office and spoke to Sterry who was still looking at the Huangpu River outside the window. “We bought it from the rubber plantation that Sumatra liked, and it cost us £50,000.”

   “The price is not high, it is worth 3,000 acres of rubber plantation.” Hearing that the assistant was a little dissatisfied with the price, Sterry felt it necessary to explain. “Rising rubber prices are now driving the construction of a large number of rubber plantations, especially those that can produce rubber now are too hard to buy. It would be even more difficult if it weren’t for our local people to use a little trick.”

  Stockel nodded in agreement with Sterry’s words.

   “This is good, at least it will allow us to bring more money back.”

  While they were talking about how to use the game to cheat Da Qing’s silver, Zhang Agou also led Sterry to explain, thinking about whom to give this wealth. In his mind, the street figures he guided by himself flashed through, and finally Zhang Agou chose a person who he was more familiar with and had a better reputation, Cai Asi, who was the leading figure in his three arms.

   After some inquiries, Zhang Agou finally met him in the casino run by Cai Asi. After a greeting, Cai Asi asked Zhang Agou about his reason. “Brother Agou has something to do with me this time.”

  As a leading figure, Cai Asi still knows about Zhang Agou. This little Dunsan didn’t know why he approached a foreign businessman. This time he came to find himself because the foreign businessman behind him had something to help.

   Faced with Cai Asi’s courtesy, Zhang Agou also feels that he has face, after all, not everyone can get Cai Asi’s courtesy. “The fourth brother is looking for you this time because there is a big deal and I want you to help.”

   “How much business does Agou bring me?” Cai Asi asked, playing with his jade pipe.

“This time Willis Foreign Company needs four months for No. 150~www.mtlnovel.com~ to have three thousand taels of silver as compensation.” Zhang Agou told Cai Asi about the purpose of looking for him this time. Don’t forget to stretch out three fingers to make gestures.

   After hearing Zhang Agou’s three thousand liang’s remuneration, Cai Asi put down the smoking gun and said. “This is indeed a big deal, I will take this job.”

   “But you can’t find crooked melons and cracked dates to fool my boss.”

   “Brother Agou, you also know my name, Cai Asi, and I’m the most fair-minded in doing things.”

“This is a deposit of 1,500 taels, and the other half will be paid after the work is done.” Zhang Agou took out fifteen Yuanfengrun silver notes that he hadn’t warmed up and placed them in front of Cai Asi. At this moment he felt that he had never been so proud.

   “Brother Agou is refreshing enough.” After a compliment, Cai Asi took out one and handed it to Zhang Agou and said. “Brother Agou is not easy to run errands for foreign companies. This is tea money.”

   “This is your money, how can I take it.” Zhang Agou politely postponed.

“Brother Agou, I don’t take you as an outsider. You introduced such a business to me, it is worthy of me, so don’t postpone it, or I will turn my face.” Facing Zhang Agou’s mentality, Cai A Si Tai understood, and a small pier three good luck broke out. Now give him a little favor, so that I can catch up with the line of foreign companies in the future.

   After completing the task assigned by his boss, Zhang Agou felt like where he should go to comfort him.

   “Uncle Hu is still waiting to invite himself to dinner. After eating, I will go to Yichunlou to find Xiao Mixian and defeat the fire.” Zhang Agou wobbled towards Uncle Hu’s house, thinking of a good place to go.
