Chapter 68 - Rubber hazards



   A week later, in front of the Willis Building on Yanjiang Road, a group of tall, thin, and thin people lined up. Cai Asi and Zhang Agou were chatting together.

   “Brother Agou, I’m looking for a good person, right.”

   “This person is not bad.” Zhang Agou carefully pointed at the people Cai Asi had found and replied.

“I, Cai Asi, has always been reliable in doing things. These are all specially selected. Don’t take the dishes. You don’t want the sick and old ghosts. Don’t look surprised. These people may not be able to pretend to be rich. Ordinary people can’t do it at all. no problem.”

   Cai Asi praised the manpower he brought, and Zhang Agou nodded in agreement when he heard what Cai Asi said.

   After seeing the gradual pull in the relationship, Cai Asi tentatively asked. “Brother Agou, you said Mr. Sterry, can I see you.”

   Hearing what Cai Asi said, Zhang Agou became more vigilant. He has the current scenery all by helping Sterry, and now Cai Asi obviously wants to pry his own job, which makes Zhang Agou feel uncomfortable.

   “Four brother, you know, Mr. Sterry has too many things in one day, I can’t see it up, I have to wait for the time to come down and tell him.”

   Hearing Zhang Agou’s excuses, Cai Asi knew that he was impatient. Don’t blame him. Now this Sterry is famous in Shanghai. The newspapers these days have been saying that the rubber market is very good. In the newspaper, he specifically mentioned the master, saying that he wanted to build the world’s largest rubber production park in Nanyang. It also attracted a lot of discussion in the newspapers. Now the most famous supporter is Mr. McBian of Langley Company.

   This Mr. Mai Bian is not an ordinary person either. He came to Shanghai in 1903 and sold all kinds of goods, but the business has not improved. Until he saw the price of rubber gradually rising, Maibian thought it was an opportunity. Promoting the benefits of rubber in Shanghai, wanting to earn their own benefits. However, due to his lack of funds, the market reaction was not strong enough, which made him brainstorm. Now encountering Sterry, who is well-funded, he is also willing to help Sterry promote the prospect of rubber.

   Now he is sitting in his office listening to news from his subordinates. “Boss, I found out that Willis stocks are still not sold too much. Most people are still watching, and they plan to check it out.”

   After reporting to Mai Bian about his inquiries, the subordinate asked his boss’ plans.

   “Boss, Willis has created a lot of momentum there. Even the ambassadors know that a new rubber merchant has come to Shanghai now and intends to establish the largest rubber company. We just look at them?”

   “You do your own thing, and you don’t need to worry about other things.”

   Regarding his subordinates, Mai Bian didn’t want to explain to him. In his heart, he was not jealous and resentful. If he was not as strong as people, he could only drink some soup behind others. There was no other way.

   Inside the Willis company they were talking about, Sterry, Felix, and Stocker were also talking about the current situation.

   “The situation is good now, at least no one in Shanghai does not know our Willis company.” As the leader, Sterry expressed satisfaction with the current situation.

   “We have already spent 150,000 pounds in funding, and we need to know that we only have 600,000 pounds.” Stocker, who is mainly responsible for funding management, feels a little bit painful about the current expenses. You must know that each group has only 600,000 yuan of funding, and the remaining 270,000 yuan is used as a reserve fund, and it will not be used if it is not an emergency. It took only a quarter of a month to come here, so how can I not make him feel anxious.

   “Okay Stockell, this is the necessary expenses in the early period. I calculated that after the first dividend, we should have made a big difference.” Sterry said his estimate.

   “I hope so.” Stocker said anxiously in his heart.

   “Hey, don’t just think about work, and occasionally relax yourself. This is good for work.” Seeing that the two of them talked about the topic so dull, Felix plans to liven up the atmosphere.

   “Alright Felix, I can’t relax at all for such a large sum of money now.” Stocker’s voice became a lot louder, and he was obviously not interested in what Felix said.

  Stockel’s words made Felix a little embarrassed.

   “I’m going to relax with you, do you plan to go drinking or dancing.” Seeing Stockell’s words made Felix a little uncomfortable, Sterry said to him remedially.

   “Alright, let’s have a drink first, and then see the charm of Oriental Paris.” Felix obviously forgot the unhappiness in his heart, and said to Sterry.

   “Stockel, are you really not going to go?”

   “Forget it, go, I’m going to look at the financial statements, there must always be someone guarding our property.” Faced with Sterry’s inquiries to ease the atmosphere, Stocker rarely joked.

   After inquiring about Stockell, the two went all the way to a nearby bar called Old Sailor. They sat down in a remote corner and asked the bartender for two glasses of brandy. The two chatted about what they saw in Shanghai.

“Do you know Sterry? I once wanted to meet a woman with little feet in the Qing Dynasty, so I asked Zhang to take me to see. Do you know where he took me?” Felix said to Sterry Fun things.

   “Where did he take you.” Sterry also wondered a little about the subsequent development.

   “After he took me out for rent, he came to a brothel called Li Chun Lou and found me a prostitute who was only this tall,” Felix continued with gestures under his chest. “The face was very thick with white powder, and the lips were dyed black. I was frightened at the time. Later I realized that this was a 13-year-old girl. But her feet were indeed very small, only ten centimeters. I really don’t know how it grows.”

“and after?”

   Facing Sterry’s questioning, Felix talked about the subsequent results. “I scolded Zhang and gave the little girl some money. UU Read www.uukanshu.com I swear I never want to go to that place again.”

   “Ha~ha~ha, this thing about Felix is ​​so funny.”

   “Okay Sterry, I would like to see it if I am curious, how can I know it will be like this.”

   “I heard that there is a pretty good club on Huali Road. There are many ladies and ladies in it every day. We can go and see it.” At the bar, Felix made arrangements for the next place to go.

   “Well, after we finish drinking this glass, we will go meet these ladies and ladies.”

   Three months later, Willis issued a dividend of 5.4 cents per share to the people who bought shares as scheduled. This made the name of Willis Rubber Company in Shanghai like a legend, and Willis’s stock was looted in the world. The rubber made so much money and many people participated in this speculation.

Due to the large amount of money entering the rubber market, its price also rose to a high price of 329 silver per pound in September, which is eight bucks less than three months ago. This has made many people enthusiastic. There is a lot of rubber. Things that people have never heard before are now in front of the public. Now the Willis Company, which claims to be building the largest rubber plantation, is their main target. Sixty taels of Willis shares on the market have also risen, and the price has been demanded as high as 80 taels.

   Now the rubber boom promoted by Edel has come ahead of schedule.

(It is estimated that some readers are not very comfortable with describing too much scenes from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, and some people have raised this question about Mantou. Mantou has always cared about your ideas, this time let Mantou be willful once, and once Mantou wants to write about the suffering A dream of history. Everyone knows that the website was stuck at that time. Steamed buns can only be addicted to this rubber crisis once. After writing this paragraph, I will return to Europe. Thank you for your willful tolerance of steamed buns. Thank you everyone. .)
