After praising Joseph, Tang Cheng saw that Zhou Hongzhuang didn't seem to understand the things on the table, so he took one and helped Zhou Hongzhuang buckle it on his belt. "I designed this thing myself. In the past, when I carried a gun when I went out, I would either use a shoulder-type holster, or I would not use a holster and directly insert the pistol into the back of my waist. Using a shoulder-type gun With a holster, the concealment is better, but when drawing the gun, it will be a little obstructive and delay the speed of drawing the gun."
"As for this method of directly inserting the pistol into the back of the waist without a holster, one is that the concealment is not good, and the other is that there is a possibility of misfire. The quick-draw holster I designed can be used at any time It has to be installed and removed from the belt, and the grip of the pistol is not in the holster, which makes it easier for the user to draw the gun quickly." In front of Joseph and Zhou Hongzhuang, Tang Cheng covered his head with his shirt. Holding the holster on his belt, he turned sideways and pulled his right hand out of the quick-draw holster to grab it.
"God! You draw the gun so fast, you are definitely a born assassin!" Joseph naturally knew the purpose of Tang Cheng's design of this quick-draw holster. After the finished product was made, Joseph practiced wearing it in private. He quickly drew the gun while quickly drawing the holster. After he saw with his own eyes the speed of Tang Cheng's gun draw, he was secretly glad that he was not Tang Cheng's opponent, otherwise he would have died miserably.
According to Tang Cheng's gun-drawing movements, after Zhou Hongzhuang practiced several times in a row, she immediately fell in love with the holster buckled on her belt. While Zhou Hongzhuang practiced quickly drawing the gun alone, Tang Cheng and Joseph were whispering to the side. Get talking. "Joseph, you'd better not spread the design of this new quick-draw holster, and it's not suitable for military equipment." Taking the cigarette from Joseph, Tang Cheng paid attention to Zhou Hongzhuang out of the corner of his eye. , while secretly lowering his voice.
"Don, we are friends. I have helped you so much, but you are too stingy!" Joseph muttered in a low voice with dissatisfaction, then opened a drawer, took out a bunch of keys from it, and put it in front of In front of Tang Cheng, he opened the safe disguised behind the oil painting. "These are some contracts related to new engineer shovels. There are some companies in the United States, Britain and Germany. According to the contract, Germany is a one-time buyout authorization, and the United States and Britain are profit sharing."
"Come on, you don't have to explain it to me. I know what profit sharing means. It means that every time they produce or sell one of these engineer shovels, we can share the money in proportion to the sales price." Joseph's nagging made Tangcheng I became a little impatient, so I grabbed the pile of copies of the contract and read through them page by page. Joseph knew that Tang Cheng could speak English, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng was only half-skilled in English who could speak but not write. The copy of the contract was full of English, which made Tang Cheng dizzy.
"As we agreed before, you can get 60% of the profits." After pretending to look through the copies of the contract, Tang Cheng finally talked about what Joseph was most interested in. Promising to give Joseph a 60% benefit was something that Tang Cheng had already considered repeatedly when he handed over the design drawings to Joseph. Tang Cheng originally thought that something like an engineering shovel with little technical content would be just a one-time deal, but he did not expect that Joseph could actually sign sharing contracts with American and British companies.
Tang Cheng felt that the 60% benefit was not unfair. Joseph, who received positive confirmation from Tang Cheng, also felt that his efforts were not in vain. The 60% benefit he received from Tang Cheng was enough for him to buy a big house and a house in Berlin. A new car. "Don, are you free tomorrow night? I got a bottle of good wine. How about you come to my place tomorrow night and let's have a drink?" The important things had been said, but Joseph suddenly extended an invitation to Tang Cheng.
Joseph was a Grandet-like guy who actually invited him to drink. Tang Cheng turned to look at Joseph with disbelief. He thought it was a joke. Being stared at by Tang Cheng with distrustful eyes, Joseph expressed that he was aggrieved, "Tang, what's that look in your eyes? I sincerely invite you, I'm not kidding you!" Joseph's expression was very sincere, but the more he looked like this, , Tang Cheng became more and more suspicious.
However, Tang Cheng did not reject Joseph's invitation, but he also made an excuse to say that he had something to do tomorrow night. Joseph had no choice but to postpone the time to the day after tomorrow. "This foreigner is quite interesting! But I feel that he is a little dishonest. His eyes keep darting around, just like a thief on the street!" After leaving Joseph's leather goods shop, Zhou Hongzhuang said to Tang Cheng Her influence on Joseph was not rated very well. Tang Cheng could also hear that Zhou Hongzhuang was implicitly hinting that she should not get too close to Joseph, and then she suppressed a smile and told Zhou Hongzhuang about her relationship with Joseph.
"You mean, that foreigner just helped you? But what if he ran away with your money?" After figuring out the relationship between Tang Cheng and Joseph, Zhou Hongzhuang's eyes widened. Expressing her astonishment, she really couldn't figure out why Tang Cheng would trust a foreigner with yellow hair so much.
"You don't have to worry about this. Although Joseph is a foreigner, he is a businessman. It is the nature of businessmen to value profits, but foreign businessmen like Joseph care very much about the spirit of the contract. This means that as long as there is no crisis that threatens their own safety or There are major external reasons. Joseph will never take my money and run away. Besides, he knows very well that if he leaves me, he will lose the opportunity to make big money. Because he makes money by hard work, and I make money by talent. and creativity.”
Zhou Hongzhuang did not understand all of Tang Cheng's explanation, but seeing that Tang Cheng had absolute confidence in whether Joseph betrayed her, Zhou Hongzhuang stopped worrying about the topic. "Before I went to Shanghai, I gave him a design drawing of a new engineer shovel. That's what the two of us just talked about." Now that he had decided to accept Zhou Hongzhuang, Tang Cheng had already decided to inform him of some of his own affairs. Zhou Hongzhuang, Joseph and the things he handled were just the first.
"This new type of engineer shovel is, to put it bluntly, very simple and has no technical content at all. But Joseph has done a good job. Through his own connections, he has already contacted some companies in the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany. When all the money is recovered, he will spend the rest of his life I can’t say I’m carefree, but there’s no problem buying a big house and a car.” Tang Cheng opened the door of the car for Zhou Hongzhuang and nodded at the Western-style houses on the street. The latter immediately understood the Tangcheng dialect. in the meaning.
Just by designing a unique engineering shovel, you can buy a big house and a car. Sitting in the car, Zhou Hongzhuang's expression was already in a dull state, and she secretly thought that foreigners' money is really so easy to earn. ? "I just saw that you gave him another brown paper bag. Do you have another design for him?" Although design drawings are still a new term for Zhou Hongzhuang, in Zhou Hongzhuang's mind, these four words design drawings are It has become equated with money.
Tang Cheng, who was about to start the car, glanced at Zhou Hongzhuang when he heard this, and saw Brother Kong Fang in his eyes. Tang Cheng immediately woke up and smiled angrily. "What good things are you thinking about? I'm not a scientist. I can come up with a design in exchange for money. Besides, foreigners are not fools. They will never buy things that are useless to them. ." Zhou Hongzhuang seemed a little disappointed with Tang Cheng's answer, but she was still interested in the paper bag that Tang Cheng gave to Joseph.
"You're talking about the paper bag just now! That's the land deed and some procedures for my old house. The whole family moved to Chongqing without leaving home. The house here is still there, and the housing prices in the city are so high now. I'm thinking of giving it to Joseph to help me sell it." Tang Cheng would naturally not tell Zhou Hongzhuang what was in the brown paper bag, because he knew that if Zhou Hongzhuang knew the inside story, it would mean that Zhang Jianghe also knew it.
Zhou Hongzhuang obviously did not suspect that Tang Cheng's answer just now was just a lie to her, because Tang Cheng had mentioned the sale of the house to Zhang Jianghe at the dinner table a few days ago. The current residence of the Tang family is not a so-called old residence, so it would not be a pity for Tang City to sell it. Zhang Jianghe's yard was different. It was an old house where generations of Zhang family had lived. Tang Cheng had said it several times, but Zhang Jianghe never agreed to sell the yard.
"I think a house is better. If you have no money, you can make more money. But if you don't have a house in the city, you will have to sleep on the streets!" Perhaps influenced by Zhang Jianghe, Zhou Hongzhuang's way of persuading people is very It's tactful. The original temperament of daring to say and do things has changed a lot.
"This is not a matter of money. Although I have not been in Shanghai for a long time, looking at the momentum of the Japanese, it is inevitable to launch a war. Nanjing is the capital of the country, and the Japanese will definitely not give up attacking here. Once the war begins If Nanjing appears, only places like the southwest with inconvenient transportation are safe. If Nanjing can be defended, it will be fine. Once it is lost, the people and houses left here will be at the mercy of the Japanese."
Although Zhou Hongzhuang still didn't understand what war meant, she was also shocked by Tang Cheng's words. Tang Cheng sighed secretly when he saw this. "Don't tell Uncle Zhang about this yet, because this is just my own inference. It hasn't happened yet, and no one can tell what will happen. Going south to Chongqing is just a precautionary measure on my part. Even if my inference is wrong, No, we have nothing to lose."
What Tang Cheng revealed made Zhou Hongzhuang instantly silent. According to the previous agreement with Zhang Jianghe, it was time to pick him up at the theater. The two people in Tangcheng drove in silence all the way to the place where Zhang Jianghe was listening to the opera. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the theater, they saw Zhang Jianghe with a gloomy face surrounded by some men in black at a table in the corner. Directly opposite, there was another person sitting. Tang Cheng had good eyesight and recognized the person at a glance as Zhou Shenghai.
