"Shopkeeper Gao, is it still impossible to ask for a meeting with Liu Fuyin?" The middle-aged man wearing an old cocoon silk tie with sweat on his forehead asked eagerly while sitting on the guest seat on his left hand.
This is He Guirong, the owner of the largest dental shop in the city and a member of the "official dental" family who has been engaged in dental work for generations.
The He family was originally a military household in Guangzhou and has been a part of the old land of Guangzhou for many generations. It is said that his family's appointment as a dental officer can be traced back to the Chenghua Year. In the early days, they were just pulling fibers for grain merchants on the dock and earning some hard money.
.Slowly he became the industry tyrant who controlled the rice and grain trade in Guangzhou. All the people in Guangzhou who were messing around, regardless of whether they were involved in rice grain or not, followed his lead.
But now he is more anxious than anyone else.
The dental post from the Ming Dynasty is now a piece of waste paper, but there is no news about the dental post from the Song Dynasty!
What the businessmen of Yahang can rely on is the toothpaste stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Without this, they are nothing!
Fang Ya, Ren Ya, etc., rely on their many years of old relationships and familiarity, even if they don't have teeth, they can always make a living. These people rely on this tiger skin to eat the seller and eat the buyer.
.If it were not for this tiger skin, which of those Chaoshan people who ran boats and sold grain on the Xijiang River would be easy to deal with?
My relationship with them has never been harmonious. Without this tiger skin, it’s hard to say what these Chaoshan guys would do!
"Master He! When I went to visit Director Zheng's house yesterday, your master also went there." Gao Ju said impatiently, "Dongzhu Guo has returned to the capital, but the one who talks about things on the ground in Guangfu is
Mayor Liu!"
Gaoji and Yaxing have nothing to do with each other. Strictly speaking, they are still enemies. Because dealing with cargo on foreign ships, strictly speaking, there must be Yagtie. Whether it is export goods loaded on foreign ships or imported goods unloaded from foreign ships, it is still the same as before.
All these cases must be handled by Yahang. However, sea trade has always been extremely profitable. Private traders with high barriers to entry have been involved in it for a long time. Although Yagan has nothing to do with them, it will still try to impose restrictions on Gaoji when there is an opportunity.
They "put on eye drops".
The fact that Mr. He begged Gao Zhou at the door was enough to show how they "hurriedly sought medical treatment". As for the thousands of taels of silver and the four stunning singing girls donated by the dental shop, Mr. Gao really didn't notice them.
"Then, this dental post from the Senate..." Mr. He was so anxious that he grabbed Gao Zuo's neck to ask clearly. A few days ago, I heard that the female director Zheng had hosted a banquet for more than fifty major merchants in Guangzhou. It was almost possible.
It is said that it covers major merchants from all walks of life in Guangzhou. However, there is not even a tooth merchant on this banquet list!
Businessmen are very sensitive and have deep connections with the government. The almost semi-official tooth dealers are even more sensitive to the dynamics of the officialdom. The Australians came to Guangzhou to change dynasties. Mr. He and a group of tooth dealers all smelled a bad smell.
Without the help of Australians, the goods will have nothing to do with them as soon as they enter the city. The wealth and fragrance they have enjoyed for more than a hundred years can only be handed over to others in vain!
In order to get new teeth stickers from Australians as soon as possible, this is not the first time Mr. He has come to Gao Ju's house, and the price of the request is also constantly increasing.
However, Gao Ji always looked away from him, because he knew very well that the Senate letter that Mr. He and the others wanted - this thing really didn't exist.
Although Gao Ji has never been to Lingao, there are quite a few stewards and servants sent to do business to get information. Australians are very "trade free" and "business-oriented", and the most important thing is "convenience" for merchants.
.Of course there is no such thing as a tooth-posting system that relies on obstruction - at least he has never heard of it.
Gao Ji slowed down again and said deliberately: "But if it's for business, I can talk to Director Zheng. This is all my old face can do."
But I’m not here for business matters today! Mr. He cursed bitterly in his heart. He didn’t want to give up, and said: “I heard that back then, Kun...well...Chairman Wen of Australia and Song Dynasty and Gao
Mr. you..."
"Hey!" Gao Ju interrupted immediately and rudely. "What happened back then was that I, Gao, have been blessed by eight generations of ancestors. I am able to admire Chairman Wen Qingguang. We, the common people, should be self-aware."
Mr. He, however, refused to give in. He argued for a long time, but finally came to nothing - Gaoji didn't give him a chance to bid.
After ordering soup to see off the guests, he raised his hand and sipped the herbal tea bag produced by Jishitang, looked at the back of Mr. He who was leaving lonely, and sighed.
"I haven't settled the accounts for you yet! Do you want to settle the grudges with Yixiao for this little thing? I'm dreaming!" Gao Ji secretly felt happy. They, the private businessmen, had eaten countless "flies" from tooth dealers who were fake and powerful.
.
The steward came over to ask for advice: How to deal with the gift Mr. He sent?
"The money will be paid to the accounting room," Mr. Gao said lazily, "and the other gifts will be kept by the third concubine. The four singing girls took off their jewelry and clothes and put them into coarse cloth skirts, and handed them over to the housekeeper at the middle door for strict control. You pass it on
My words: Each person will get forty punches first, and then send out the errands of doing laundry and lighting the fire."
These last few words made the person in charge stunned, but Mr. Gao's words were an edict in this mansion. He responded and stepped back.
Although Gao Ji doesn't know what the new Liu Fuyin's plan is, depending on the situation, he can still save the family even if he is the worst under the Australian rule. He knows the behavior of Australians well: firstly, trustworthiness, secondly never forget.
Old friends, the third thing is that people make the best use of them.
With these three points, he naturally has nothing to worry about.
While he was enjoying himself, Yan Xiaomao suddenly ran in, which was very inconsistent with his age. Just when Gao Ji felt strange, Yan Xiaomao had already come over with a happy face:
"Master! Happy event! Director Zheng invites you to come over and say that we have something important to discuss!"
"Ah?!" He stood up fiercely, and the senator invited him alone. This was the first time since entering the city. He closed the fan in his hand and said, "Change clothes and prepare the sedan chair!"
Yan Xiaomao responded repeatedly, and just as he was about to remove it, Gao Zhang stopped him again:
"Looking at the errands this time, I'll ask Xiao Si to follow me. I think he's quite smart."
Yan Xiaomao was overjoyed. Yan Xiaosi was his grandson. He was twelve years old this year and had already started working with his master. Since ancient times, those who worked as slaves must be their master's personal servants in order to be "promising" in the future. He quickly knelt down and knelt down.
Got a head:
"Thank you for the promotion, sir!"
Yan Xiaosi walked to the foyer, and the person who came out to greet him was not the familiar Aunt Hanyue, but a very energetic young man. Yan Xiaosi could tell at a glance that this was the so-called "cadre" of Australians, similar to "cadre"
"Book Office" and "Junior Official". If you look carefully at the cloth label on the chest of the big-headed soldier, it says the word "Correspondence". It seems that it is the Australian's rush, laying soldiers.
Although Yan Xiaosi has been to Lingao several times with his grandfather and father, he has not had direct contact with many "cadres". Apart from hearing rumors about "honesty and integrity" such as the disciples not accepting any money, there is nothing practical about how to deal with people.
experience. However, Aunt Hanyue has always followed the Ming Dynasty's set of human affairs to hand over matters. Now that a cadre suddenly appears to block the door, Yan Xiaosi doesn't know what to do.
Listening to the master clearing his throat in dissatisfaction from behind, Yan Xiaosi had no choice but to hold the greeting card in both hands and go up to speak according to the usual rules.
"This gentleman! My boss is..."
"Comrade! Visitor registration! Do you have an appointment?" Before he finished speaking, the cadre at the door interrupted Yan Xiaosi and stuffed a book in. Yan Xiaosi originally held the greeting card in both hands, and this book was stuffed
Come over, and suddenly you can only press your arms on your chest in a hurry.
This...this...this...what should we do? Why doesn't he follow the routine? Wait, visit registration? Isn't this just for meeting Mayor Liu? Why is it that Zheng Yuanlao is like this too? Han Yue
Why isn't my aunt here? Yan Xiaosi was confused for a moment and couldn't help asking:
"Where's Aunt Hanyue?"
"I'm new here. I don't know. Comrade, are you illiterate? I'll ask you questions and I'll write them." Before Yan Xiaosi could react, the big-headed soldier took the book from Yan Xiaosi's hand again and placed it at the door.
On the table, I looked back at the clock in the living room and started writing from the time.
"Name!"
"ah?"
"What do you call a visitor?"
"Ah? Oh! My boss... No, Jun Ye, I can write, I will fill it in. My boss was invited by Director Zheng!"
Sitting high on the sofa in the living room, looking at the scene in front of him, he felt quite emotional. He remembered that at the beginning, his famous assassin, Guo Dongzhu, had to give in repeatedly before accepting it. Later, they came and went frequently.
When meeting, they would first hand over their name card, make an appointment on the time and place, and then bring some small things to deal with the worldly affairs. After that, they would bombard Guangzhou City. After the flying meteor, Guo Yi came to Guangzhou City again, except for the first time.
He took the initiative to come to express his gratitude. Later, Guo Yi's official authority became more and more important. Gradually, it became a formal visit for his high-end boss, who prepared all kinds of courtesy and courtesy. Of course, Guo Yi would not accept it, and would often scold him.
Ichiban.
Now that the city of Guangzhou has changed its owner, after Mayor Liu took office, Gao Dazai, the shopkeeper, has only been summoned. Counting it down, Gao Zhi has met with Mayor Liu a few times, but most of them were summoned by Liu.
The mayor asked the Guangzhou government to consult on various matters, especially in the business community, but there was no progress in personal friendship. He came to visit several times, but he could only register and write down the reasons. If he had business, he would make an appointment.
He was immediately asked to leave. Of course, there was nothing "important" to do with Gao Ji, so Mayor Liu refused to receive him. Fortunately, Mr. Zheng first had contacts in the past two years and left some favors.
With Guo Yi and Boss Guo entrusting him in person, he could talk to Mr. Zheng about some matters outside of work. However, compared to when Guo Yi was here, needless to say, his status has plummeted. (~^~
