Fang Xinshui's words stunned several people, and they all looked at him as if they were a fool. After a while, Fang Jin'ao finally said:
"If you are organizing manpower domestically, you should find the domestic Hongmen organization! Why are you looking for us?"
"But I don't know anyone in China!" The reason is very strong and impeccable.
Looking at Fang Xinshui with a frank look on his face, Fang Jin'ao was speechless and laughed at himself before saying:
"It seems that the little brother wants to give me money to spend! I wonder how much introduction fee each little brother is willing to give?"
Fang Xinshui remembered Fang Lang's explanation and couldn't help but cautiously probed:
"How about five dollars each!"
In fact, Fang Xinshui's inner price is ten dollars for every person he introduces.
But doing business? How can you directly quote your base price! No matter what, you have to give the other party a room to bargain!
When a few people heard this, they realized that such a small amount of money and labor were not enough! Isn't this a joke? The short, fat middle-aged man felt that Fang Xinshui was playing tricks on them, so he stood up and angrily said:
"You're sending beggars away!"
After all, Fang Jin'ao was the master of the hall, and the city was still much deeper. He continued to make tea calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him. He just glanced at Fang Xinshui quietly, waiting for his next words.
But Fang Xinshui had already been worried about it, so he calmly took a sip of tea and said:
"Don't be angry, please listen to what I have to say. We don't care where people come from, whether it's cheating or abduction, or collecting money to immigrate, we don't care about any of this, even if you sell them ferry tickets, we don't care. We only want people. We pay per person when we get on our ship. Do you know what I mean?"
After hearing this, several people understood what Fang Xinshui meant. In this case, they all had to rely on their own abilities in the country. Even if they directly called the national army and sent people from a village directly to the ship, they would be paid! As for the rest after collecting the money, it is none of their business.
Fang Jin'ao looked at Fang Xinshui with profound eyes and said:
"Oh! Aren't you afraid that they will ask you to refund the money on the ship?"
After all, as the recipients, they must accept people's blame.
But Fang Xinshui said with a rogue expression:
"Looking at what you said, we haven't confiscated their money. Whoever took it will go to whom! The ship belongs to the transportation company. If they don't want to take the ship, they can just jump off. But we will and those who are willing to come with us We need to sign a formal labor dispatch contract. This protects the interests of both parties. After all, we are a formal company."
The short, fat middle-aged man still didn't understand what Fang Xinshui's purpose was, and said with doubts on his face:
"Then aren't you just giving money to do business?"
Fang Xinshui said with a proud smile:
"Hehe... why are they giving money? After they earn their wages, they must pay us a part of the handling fee every month! Otherwise, wouldn't we be able to open a charity?"
Several people understood Fang Xinshui's plan instantly. They thought that Fang Xinshui would directly treat them as illegal workers and squeeze them as hard as they could. They would charge six or seven US dollars for ten US dollars a month. If they were evil, they would charge them for ten or eight years, plus some interest. Then this is simply an astronomical figure!
It made their hearts flutter. However, thinking about it, Fang Xinshui may have contacted the black kiln factory, and people can work when they arrive. If he does this, so many people will not be able to arrange work immediately, and the hall will be overwhelmed directly. It seems that there will be a need for useful labor in the future. Once you have the place, you can play like this!
Since the other party can make so much money, giving yourself five dollars is definitely not okay! The short and fat man said:
"But five dollars per person is still too little. How about ten dollars!"
It seems that this short fat man is in charge of the church's financial resources. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one to negotiate every time money is involved. After hearing his words, Fang Xinshui said helplessly:
"Brother, don't you understand? You can only make big money from them! We are the small ones here."
Humpty Dumpty had a good reason too.
"Then there will definitely be some poor people who can't afford to give us money! Aren't you afraid that there won't be enough people by then?"
Seeing that what the other party said made sense, Fang Xinshui could only give way:
"Okay! Then it's six dollars per person! It can't be any higher. Our investment is huge. If there are 10,000 people, we will have to pay $60,000."
"Brother! You can't recruit 10,000 people for six dollars a person."
After a lot of haggling, the price was finally settled on eight dollars per person. It can be considered that this business can definitely be launched.
According to what Fang Xinshui said, Fang Jin'ao had to look at him with admiration. After all, he could accept so many labor forces at once, but it was very different from the small gang he thought he was!
"Brother! I didn't expect that you are very powerful! I don't know when this business can start!"
Now that the general direction has been discussed, there is no need to rush the remaining matters. We can communicate slowly! So Fang Xinshui said happily:
"I will report the results of this negotiation directly when I go back. We also have to make some preparations. Once the Japs surrender and the shipping lanes are clear, our business will officially begin."
Hearing Fang Lang mention the Japs, the pudgy middle-aged man remembered that the domestic ports are still occupied by the Japs! Now that we have been talking for so long, it seems that we have become lonely!
"That's right! Damn, the little devils are still occupying the coastline now! What a useless thing for us to talk about here for a long time!"
But Fang Xinshui smiled confidently and said:
"How could it be useless! Of course we have to talk about business first! Make preparations early, and when the time comes, our ship will dock as soon as the little devil surrenders. It would be great to have a direct and seamless connection."
When Fang Jin'ao heard that Fang Xinshui actually said that the Japs would surrender, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He looked at Fang Xinshui carefully again:
"How do you know that the little Jaap will surrender? The fight is raging right now! I don't even know how long the fight will last!"
This was all based on what Fang Lang heard from Fang Xinshui. Fang Xinshui just plagiarized, but Fang Xinshui believed that Fang Lang must have some inside information, so he smiled and said with a mysterious face:
"Hehe... If the bosses believed me, they would have made preparations early. I have already received the news. The little book won't last until September."
Unexpectedly, Fang Xinshui would give a specific time, which made Fang Jin Ao Teng stand up and said eagerly:
"Is this true? Is the news reliable?"
No wonder Fang Jin'ao was so shocked. After all, Hongmen during this period spared no effort to support the country. If it is true as Fang Xinshui said, it is exciting news.
If this is true, then with such a large initial investment, why should there be some profit? At this time, whoever has the upper hand will get more benefits!
Our Mr. Fang Xinshui, on the other hand, looked confident, smiled enigmatically and said:
"It's really not true, won't you know when the time comes? Anyway, if you make some preparations in advance, you won't suffer, right?"
Regarding Fang Xinshui's performance, Fang Jin'ao, as a veteran, has his own judgment. He believes that Fang Xinshui's words must have his own basis.
Fang Jin'ao didn't know where this basis came from, but it must be from the top brass of the Allied Forces. Thinking that they could easily eat tens of thousands of workers, he couldn't help but start to wonder if he had an official background.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Fang Jin'ao decided to have a good relationship with Fang Xinshui. Therefore, he said directly and cheerfully:
"Haha... It seems that my background is very deep! If this is the case, then we have taken the risk, and I will contact my colleagues in China to start preparations."
Fang Xinshui didn't know what Fang Jin'ao in front of him was thinking. Of course he was very happy when he saw that the other party said that he would start contacting his colleagues in China now.
"Then thank you to Hall Master Fang for your trust, haha..."
Fang Jin'ao glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Thinking that Fang Xinshui and others had not eaten yet, he quickly stood up and said enthusiastically:
"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't entertain you well today and delayed my brother's meal. I asked my brothers to prepare two banquets. We can chat while eating and not get drunk."
Now that the most important things have been negotiated, Fang Xinshui will naturally not refuse. He just wants to ask Fang Jin'ao about the gang!
"Then I'm not welcome! I want to test whether the Chinese food in New York's Chinatown is authentic."
In fact, Fang Xinshui's wife is a white Brazilian. Where can she eat Chinese food at home? At most, she can still see some Chinese food when she returns to her parents' house. It is nonsense to expect him to judge whether the Chinese food is authentic or not.
But Fang Jinao doesn’t know! He patted his chest and assured Fang Xinshui:
"Don't worry, brother, our chefs are all from China, and we guarantee that you can taste the authentic taste of hometown today."
