Chapter 67 The Rubber Crisis 2

Zhang Agou followed the employee to the office of the company boss Stry on the third floor. Zhang Agou bent forward and asked carefully to Stry, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking out at the scenery of the Huangpu River. "I've seen the boss, I don't know what instructions I have."

After hearing Zhang Agou's question, Stry 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 tell them to spread the news that our company is now issuing rubber stocks to distribute dividends. Now the news is basically known on the street."

Stry listened to his answer to himself. Stry still knows about this man named Zhang Agou, a person from the bottom of the society, who has no culture and doesn't want to work hard, is very well-informed about the gossip, and thinks about where to find some money every day, which is better than a local ruffian. Now they need someone like that to know what the city is doing. And when it is not convenient for them to go out, they can let Zhang, who is a local, negotiate with them.

"Zhang, you did a good job, I see it all in my eyes. Now I need you to help me with another thing."

"Boss, please tell me." Zhang Agou, who didn't know his future destiny, was still very grateful to this boss and nobleman who spoke Chinese more fluently than himself. When he heard that he needed to do something, he quickly stepped forward to show his loyalty.

"I want you to go to the leader of the city gang and ask them to find someone to help us promote the company's stock. Can you do it?" Stry turned to watch him say his request.

"No problem, the boss is all up to me." It's too easy to hear that he wants to find a gang. For Zhang Agou, who has been at the bottom since he was a child, the gang is a part of his life.

Stry continued. "Zhang, it's you who came forward this time. You can give them 3,000 taels of silver as a reward, but it will take 15 of them four months."

Zhang Agou was also surprised when he heard the reward offered by his boss. Five or two months is four times the wages of ordinary workers today, and they can still get four consecutive months. This made Zhang Agou almost come forward to check if his boss was suffering from epilepsy.

Of course it's not that Stry is crazy, it's the result of careful calculation. If you want to quickly open the situation, throwing money is the best way. Buying an office building at a high price and hiring people to do errands at a high price are all for this result. Stry wants to tell the whole Shanghai that Willis Rubber Company doesn't care about the small money, because it has better money.

"Boss, isn't the price a bit high?" Zhang Agou still felt like a reminder to show his loyalty.

"Do you want you to teach me what to do?" Facing Zhang Agou's question, Stry felt the need to beat him.

"The boss is my talkative, this time I will definitely do it beautifully." Zhang Agou, who had failed to show loyalty, said quickly, and he didn't forget to slap himself a few times. He was really a good dog's leg.

"Go to the finance department and get the money to do things." Stry said to Zhang Agou. After speaking, I suddenly felt that although this person is not a good person, he knows how to figure out people's thoughts and can relieve the pressure in his heart.

After Zhang Agou walked out of Stry's office, he put away his flattering appearance. Although he has no other skills, he is still a good player in observing his words and deciphering his thoughts. Zhang Agou, who was walking in the corridor, was a bit content to evaluate himself in his heart, and when he came to the corner, he almost collided with a figure.

"Zhang, don't you look when you're walking?" Stocker, who was almost hit, scolded Zhang Agou in English.

Seeing that he almost bumped into the boss butler, he didn't understand his bird language, but Zhang Agou knew that this was not a good word by looking at his expression, so he quickly put on a flattering expression and nodded and apologized to him. "Sorry, Mr. Stocker, I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Although Stocker's Chinese is very poor, he didn't understand Zhang Agou's words, but he understood the meaning of his expressions.

Stocker waved to him and walked directly to Stry's office. Seeing that Stocker didn't mean to blame, Zhang Agou hurried to do what Stry explained.

Stocker walked into Stry's office and spoke to Stry, who was still looking out the window at the scenery of the Huangpu River. "We bought it from a rubber plantation in Sumatra that cost us £50,000."

"The price is not high. The three thousand acres of rubber plantation is still worth it." Hearing that the assistant was a little dissatisfied with the price, Stry felt it necessary to explain. "The rise in rubber prices has led to the construction of a large number of rubber plantations, especially the ones that can produce rubber are too difficult to buy. If it hadn't been for our local people to use a little trick, it would have been even more difficult."

Stocker nodded in agreement with Stry's words.

"That's good, at least it allows us to bring back more money."

When they were talking about how to harm Qing's money, Zhang Agou also led Stry's explanation, thinking about who to give this wealth to. In his mind flashed one by one the street figures he guided, and finally Zhang Agou chose a person who he was familiar with and had a good reputation, Cai Asi who was a prominent figure in his arms.

After some inquiries, Zhang Agou finally met him at the casino run by Cai Asi. After some greetings, Cai Asi asked Zhang Agou why he was looking for him. "Brother Agou has something to do with me this time."

As a prominent figure, Cai Asi still knows about Zhang Agou's affairs. For some unknown reason, this little Dunsan came across a big foreign businessman. This time he came to find him because the foreign businessman behind him had something to help.

In the face of Cai Asi's courtesy, Zhang Agou also feels that he has a 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 business and I want to ask you for help."

"How much business did Brother Agou bring me?" Cai Asi asked while playing with his jade bong.

"This time Willis \u0026 Co. will take four months for No. 150 people and three thousand taels of silver." Zhang Agou told Cai Asi the purpose of looking for him this time, and he did not forget to extend three thousand taels of silver. A finger gesture.

After hearing Zhang Agou's words of three thousand taels as a reward, Cai Asi put down his smoking gun and said. "This is indeed a big deal, and I'll take this job."

"But you can't fool my boss with some crooked melons and cracked dates."

"Brother Agou, you also know the name of my Cai Asi, and it is the most fair to do 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 Yuanfeng Run silver notes that he had not yet 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." After Cai Asi praised, he took out one and handed it to Zhang Agou and said. "It's not easy for Brother Agou to help Yangxing run errands. This is tea money."

"This is your money, how can I take it." Zhang Agou delayed politely.

"Brother Agou, I don't take you as an outsider. You introduce such a business to me, it is a respect for me, so don't delay, otherwise I will turn my face." Facing Zhang Agou's mentality, Cai A Si knew it too well, and good luck broke out with a small pier and three crosses. Now give him a little favor and befriend him, so that you can catch the line of foreign companies in the future.

After completing the task assigned by his boss, Zhang Agou felt that he should go to comfort himself.

"Uncle Hu is still waiting to invite him to dinner. After eating, he will go to Yichun Tower to find Xiao Mixian Fengbaihuo." Zhang Agou, who was thinking of a good place, swayed towards Uncle Hu's house.
