A brass box with a strange luster was placed in front of the four people.
"I remember Brother Guishou said last time that this thing requires a special key. Look at this badge..."
After that, Ma Xiaoguang took out the shiny silver steel box from his body.
This box is the one Natasha and Fatty took out from the Zhengjin Bank safe last time.
"The patterns on this badge are almost the same as those on the box. There must be some connection, but where is the connection? I'm afraid it will take time to understand..."
Brother Guishou said hesitantly. He couldn't help but hesitate. Taking out either of these two things would cause an uproar.
So looking at the two treasures on the table, Brother Guishou and Shopkeeper Luo felt a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, you two. Stay here to meditate with peace of mind. Fatty and I will go to Matheson Bank later. There are many things going on there, but you have to be careful when going in and out."
Ma Xiaoguang said to the two brothers with a smile.
"There is no shortage of anything here. Our brothers will stay in seclusion and figure out the ideas as soon as possible." Shopkeeper Luo said respectfully.
After giving some instructions to the two experts in the antique industry, Ma Xiaoguang took the fat man and left Fuxi Road.
Their destination is naturally the Zilin Building on the Bund.
Arrive at the Zilin Building office.
Kevin had already arrived and was talking to MISS Liu and Natasha. Judging from his serious expression, he must have encountered something important.
"Jack, you came just in time. I have a business that you want to see if you can do it?"
Kevin frowned and asked a little eagerly.
"Tell me."
Ma Xiaoguang asked with a smile after sitting down on the single sofa opposite Kevin.
"There is a neon national trading house that wants to do business with us. The products are daily necessities, mainly cotton yarn, matches, kerosene..." Kevin said with some apprehension.
"Don't other trading houses have these goods?" Ma Xiaoguang continued to ask with a smile.
After hearing this, Natasha helped Kevin and added: "The goods from this store are 40% cheaper than others!"
"I have personally inspected the goods and there are no problems with them!"
With the assistance of the beautiful lady from the Big Hair Country, Kevin felt more confident and relaxed his mood.
"Don't look at me like a bad person, as if I'm bad."
Ma Xiaoguang smiled kindly at everyone.
"The main thing is that you always turn pale when talking about Neon Man. Kevin is afraid that you will go crazy."
It was the fat man's speech that broke the awkward atmosphere in the office, and everyone burst into laughter after hearing the words.
"That's not possible! I'm still friendly to most people in Neon Country."
Boss Ma, who has always been as thick-skinned as a city wall, said with rare embarrassment.
"Okay, let's get down to business... This Songping Trading Company is an ordinary foreign company with no special background. The other party encountered some circumstances in its eagerness to ship goods."
In the end, it was MISS Liu who brought the topic back on track. The head of the family is so reliable!
"Matsuhira? Isn't that from the Tokugawa family?"
When Ma Xiaoguang heard this, his eyes suddenly turned sharp and he asked.
"This devil's surname is really troublesome! Why does Matsudaira involve that Tokugawa?"
The fat man asked with some confusion. Natasha and Kevin also looked puzzled as he spoke.
"The Tokugawa clan is a surname created by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun of the Neon Kingdom."
"The Tokugawa family was originally from the ancient Mikawa Kingdom - today's Aichi Prefecture. They are the last descendants of the Tokugawa clan, a tributary of the Nitta clan of the Seiwa Minamoto clan - the Matsudaira clan, their great name during the Warring States Period."
"Later, in order to expand their reputation, their head, Tokugawa Ieyasu, adopted the surname 'Tokugawa clan' from when the family was a tributary of the Genji family, and later changed the name to 'Tokugawa clan'."
"To put it simply, the Matsudaira family is the surname of the Japanese general's family before he became famous. This general is equivalent to the regent of the former Qing Dynasty..."
Ma Xiaoguang introduced the ancient legend of Neon Country to the three of them with a somewhat complacent tongue twister.
The three friends from different countries suddenly felt that their strange knowledge had increased!
But Ma Xiaoguang suddenly felt a coldness around him. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed that Miss Liu suddenly looked a little unkind. He also saw that the fat man kept winking at him, and secretly screamed in his heart!
But Commander Ma was not in vain. His eyes turned serious and he said: "As a professional, you must master the history, culture, and customs of the other country. It seems that the special training of the Smiling Tiger is really good!"
"Ah! It seems that the smiling tiger is really not a fool!"
The fat man also cooperated with Chief Ma and shouted in surprise.
"Is it really taught by the Smiling Tiger?"
MISS Liu looked at the two of them doubtfully and asked.
"It must be! If you don't believe me, call him here. We can confront him face to face..."
Ma Xiaoguang's answer was definite and affirmative, without hesitation at all.
"Then shall we still take over the goods from this trading house?"
Natasha's question relieved the slightly tense atmosphere in the office in time.
"Take over! Well, this matter is very important. Kevin, Fatty, just the three of us will handle this matter. Miss Liu and Natasha, the two ladies, will sit in command at the foreign bank..."
Ma Xiaoguang quickly and sincerely expressed his attitude as a boss who has the courage to serve and the courage to take responsibility.
After that, he took Kevin and Fatty and hurriedly left the Zilin Building.
"What's going on? Jack?"
On the Buick sedan, Kevin asked with some confusion.
"Hey, this is all because the young master is so nice..."
The fat man said quietly, helping Ma Xiaoguang explain the origin of the matter and the grudge the eldest young lady had with Mr. Ju in Hangzhou.
"Ah! Jack, it turns out that you are a philanthropic person like me. Listen to me, this is nothing. You can tell MISS Liu that this is pure friendship!"
Kevin was not surprised at all after hearing this. Instead, he had an envious look on his face. It seemed that he was still a little fascinated.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Let's take a look at this trading company. If there is no problem, we will take delivery of the goods. The price will be 40% of the market price, and we will find a way to bring down the trading company!"
In the passenger seat, Ma Xiaoguang said to the two of them solemnly.
"What? Boss, you old man not only eats eggs, but also hens?" the fat man asked jokingly.
"I'm not interested in ordinary trading companies. Didn't I mention the office? This Songping is from a neon country family..."
Ma Xiaoguang sent a Hardman to Kevin, carefully placed the empty cigarette case in the glove bin of the car, and said with a playful smile.
However, these were all jokes and harmless. The three of them laughed all the way to Hongkou Disiwei Road.
The scene of Songping Trading Company is quite depressed, and the huge office is in a dilapidated and messy state.
"Did you get robbed?"
The fat man asked as he looked at the office with some confusion.
Crossing the mountain of books and the sea of literature, they knocked on the door of the president's office - this is no exaggeration. There were messy documents and files everywhere. When the three of them passed by, it was like walking through the line of fire.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
A feeble neon Kansai accent came from the office.
When they opened the door, the office smelled acrid and filled with smoke, which startled the three of them - they thought someone was burning charcoal in the room!
Upon closer inspection, there was an iron basin filled with document ashes.
"Oh, Mr. Matsudaira, what's going on with you?" Kevin asked quickly.
"Nothing..." The other party's tone was cold and flat.
"Okay, boss, sit up and talk!"
Ma Xiaoguang tidied up a pile of documents on the sofa in the office, sat down nonchalantly, and calmly said to the owner who was leaning across from him.
The fat man hurried over and opened the window to let the smell and smoke in the room disperse, otherwise he was afraid that the three of them would not finish talking and suffocate inside.
"This is Mr. Jack Ma, our partner in the foreign firm, and this is Mr. Nobuyoshi Matsudaira. Today we are here to talk about receiving the goods."
Kevin's tone was full of business.
"Okay, let's all speak out. Kevin told us the situation. To be honest, we are a foreign company owned by the United States. We have all the things that your neon country owns. The prices will be cheaper and the products will be better..."
Boss Ma started the business model and started phasing out Neon Country’s daily necessities.
Although Matsudaira Nobuyoshi was not convinced, he just blushed and did not dare to say anything. He drank the cold tea in his cup without a sip.
After a long while, Boss Ma ended the complaining mode, picked up the tea made by the fat man, and took a big gulp.
"Okay, Mr. Ma, as for the products of Neon Country and Beautiful Country, there is no need for us to argue... I know you are sincere, just tell us the price."
Matsudaira Nobuyoshi still said in that weak tone, but he immediately revealed the intention of the three people.
"According to the condition of your goods and the backlog time, we can only offer 20% of the market price!" Ma Xiaoguang said without doubt.
"No, it can't be less than 40%. If the three of you are not interested, forget it. I can sell it to other firms at a discount."
Matsudaira Xinyi shook his head and said.
"Oh, Mr. Matsudaira, Jack, we are all in business and have difficulties. Please understand each other. Mr. Matsudaira needs money. The key is that you have a lot of goods and you need cash or a knife..."
Kevin turned on the peacemaker mode again.
The three of them just went back and forth like this, from morning to afternoon, without even having lunch.
Ma Xiaoguang shook his head helplessly and said: "Mr. Songping is really insistent. Let's do this. It seems that you have encountered some difficulties. 40% is fine. I have one condition!"
"As long as you give me money, everything else is easy. I want cash, and I want a knife!"
Matsudaira Xinyi heard the other party relent and readily agreed without interfering with the other party's request.
"After the goods are delivered and you do the accounting, I not only want this firm! I also want everything from you!"
Ma Xiaoguang looked at Songping Xinyi and smiled enigmatically.
"Nani?"
"What?"
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the three men from different countries were shocked!
Boss Ma, Chief Ma, Master Senpo, what's going on?
Does he have a special hobby?
Thinking of this, Fatty and Kevin looked at each other and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts!
