Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 119

The train passed through Zhoucun, and Wang Zixi and Lu Xiwa got off first, preparing to go to Zhoucun to make a front station.

Lin Hongfei and Chen Liuzi, the treasurer of the dyeing shop, did not know each other, and there was no suitable middleman to introduce them, so it seemed a little abrupt and out of etiquette to rush to the door.

Coupled with the fact that he wants to open a dyeing factory with Chen Liuzi, this is a big deal with hundreds of thousands of oceans, and he has never known anything in his life, why should people believe you, why will they not think that you are a liar.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei asked the two of them to go to Zhou Village first to talk to Chen Liuzi, and he himself took people to Qingcheng first to talk to Xu Chengping, Qian Minghe's old friend and president of the Chamber of Commerce.

If I can ask this Chairman Xu to act as an intermediary and guarantor, I think this matter will be much smoother.

The train traveled east along the Jiaoji Railway to the coastal city of Qingcheng.

Since the previous dynasty, it has been occupied by foreign forces, and with the development of these years, Qingcheng has become a famous commercial city in the north.

As soon as Lin Hongfei got off the train, he saw someone holding a big sign with the five words "Mr. Yan Jinglin" written on it.

Lin Hongfei knew that this was the person sent by Chairman Xu Chengping to greet him.

Before coming, Qian Minghe specially took a telegram to his old friend, Xu Chengping and Lin Hongfei's grandfather Lin Qingsong also had several encounters, so he immediately sent someone to the station to wait.

At this time, Lin Hongfei and the pick-up person talked, the pick-up person was a young man in his twenties, he smiled and said:

"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Yao Bo, I am Chairman Xu's grandnephew, and my uncle and grandfather sent me to pick you up."

"Finally received a few of you, I have been waiting here since the day before yesterday."

"There is work, there is work!"

"We have to trouble you to wait so many days for this trip."

After learning the identity of this person, Lin Hongfei thanked with a smile.

"Hey, it's all my own people, say this and you'll see the outside!"

"Come on, a few of you, hurry up and help Mr. Lin move your luggage!"

Yao Bo beckoned the Xu family's subordinates to help carry the luggage, and then several foreign cars pulled Lin Hongfei and the others towards the Xu family's mansion.

On the way to Xu's house, Lin Hongfei asked Wayne and Chen Deshan to wait for him at the hotel, so they divided into two groups.

Xu's mansion is a Western-style villa, with white marble steps and four stone pillars erected in front of the door, which looks quite magnificent.

Under the leadership of Yao Bo, Lin Hongfei, Sun Tie, and Ding Dehu walked into the villa with extremely luxurious interior decoration, and saw a thin old man similar in age to Qian Minghe standing tall in the living room.

This person is Xu Chengping, president of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce, Lin Hongfei said in a respectful tone: "Junior Lin Hongfei, I have seen President Xu, this trip to Qingcheng has been a lot of disturbances, and I hope President Xu will forgive me!"

Xu Chengping smiled: "Don't be so polite, Minghe and I have been friends for many years, and we have had several encounters with your grandfather."

"Say these words, but you can see the outside, sit down quickly, when you come to me, you don't have to be restrained!"

Everyone sat down, Lin Hongfei made a look at Sun Tie, and Sun Tie and Ding Dehu immediately put the gifts in their hands on the coffee table in front of everyone.

"Hongfei, come here, why do you still take things, it's too polite." Xu Chengping said with a smile.

Lin Hongfei said: "The first time I saw you, I didn't know what you liked, so I bought some casually.

Saying that, Lin Hongfei opened one of the long brocade boxes: "I heard Uncle Qian say, hello ink Danqing."

"It just so happens that I run an antique shop, and this is an antique painting that I asked my men to look for."

"Iron head, tiger, unfold for the old man!"

Sun Tie and Ding Dehu each held one end, and then slowly displayed the scroll in Xu Chengping's eyes.

Although Xu Chengping is not a professional, but he is also a veteran of calligraphy and painting, he subconsciously put on the reading glasses with gold wire frames, carefully observed, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Dong Yuan's real work, this is really rare!"

"Hongfei, I don't dare to accept such a valuable gift, you can quickly take it back!"

"This painting is sold to others, more than ten thousand oceans!"

Lin Hongfei smiled: "Chairman Xu doesn't know something, this painting was collected by my subordinates from the people, and it didn't cost much."

"Besides, I don't know how to calligraphy and painting, so I put it as an ornament."

"If you sell it to outsiders, hehe, it's not that I look down on them, those people buy and sell ancient paintings, they just want to make money, and the good treasures left by the ancestors are all stained with the smell of copper, vulgar to the extreme."

"You are a famous collector in Qingcheng, a true expert in ink and danqing, so that the precious ancient paintings can be placed here to get the best custody and care, and you are the best place for it!"

After a few words, Xu Chengping was naturally furious, and he laughed: "Since this is the case, then I am not respectful!"

"Yao Bo, put the painting away!"

"Yes, Uncle Grandpa!" Yao Bo got the order, and quickly stepped forward to carefully put away the ancient painting.

If Xu Chengping's attitude was still polite and a little alienated just now, then after this incident, Xu Chengping's attitude became much more affectionate.

"President Xu..." As soon as Lin Hongfei spoke, he was interrupted by Xu Chengping.

"Hey, don't call the guild president, it seems too raw, just like Qian Minghe!" Xu Chengping said with a smile.

"Uncle Xu!"

"Hey, that's what my own people are called!"

Qian Minghe's letter is just a stepping stone to enter the Xu family, and whether Xu Chengping can be willing to help depends on how Lin Hongfei handles it himself.

Of course, even if Lin Hongfei didn't send something, Xu Chengping would not refuse Lin Hongfei's request in Qian Minghe's face.

But he will definitely be a little unhappy in his heart, and he will not be too conscientious in doing things, and it is still a hammer sale.

The next time I want to find Xu Chengping to do something, I am afraid that people will avoid it.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei asked Tong Fengquan to prepare a valuable ancient painting before he came to close the relationship with Xu Chengping.

Sure enough, this ancient painting played a good role!

It was just a dinner time, and Xu Chengping had already regarded Lin Hongfei as a junior.

Taking advantage of the harmonious relationship between the two sides, Lin Hongfei put forward his own demands to Xu Chengping.

"What, you want to open a dyeing factory in Qingcheng?"

"Yes, I don't know what you suggest, old man?"

Xu Chengping thought for a while and said, "Opening a dyeing factory in Qingcheng is indeed a good idea. "

Qingcheng is a coastal city with wharves and railway stations, which is very convenient for purchasing raw materials and transporting goods."

"I don't have much advice here, just three points."

"The first is to find a good partner, if you want to be a good owner, then the general manager must be cautious."

"The second is to choose a good site, the dyeing factory is an industry with a large demand for fresh water, it is best to have a river near the site, and it cannot be too far from the wharf and railway station."

"The third is to have a set of their own unique dyeing formula, dyeing factory dyeing factory, relying on a dyeing word."

"If your cloth dyes fresh and beautiful, many people will naturally buy it."

"If you dye black and black, and there is a color difference, and the good blue is dyed cyan, then you don't do this business, sooner or later you will have to let people smash the signboard!"

After listening to Xu Chengping's words, Lin Hongfei said with a little embarrassment: "Old man, you are right, I came to bother you this time, just to let you help me choose a suitable factory site."

"In addition, help me be an intermediary, I already have a candidate for general manager, but I don't know him."

"Hahaha, no problem, the matter of the factory site, I will let the Chamber of Commerce find it."

"As for the candidate for this general manager, who are you looking for, do I know?" Xu Chengping asked.
