Chapter 278: Stranger He Guest
"Brother Xi, this is an opportunity. I've missed it. It's hard for you to recover from the dead." Xie Xiaochuyi looked like I was good for you.
“Not interested.”
"Chairman Xi, don't be too busy refusing. We, Mitsui Industrial, are sincere." Sato bowed slightly and said, "We can discuss the price again."
"Tonight is the day for the little girl to have a happy day. I don't want to talk about business matters. Mr. Sato, if there is nothing else, please give yourself a favor." Xi Hongwei said directly.
"Okay, then I'll congratulate Miss Xi on finding a good husband." Sato said.
Sato obviously had no intention of leaving. He and Xie Xiaochu were among the guests coming and going, greeting this one and talking to that one.
Don't treat yourself as an outsider at all.
This guy came uninvited, obviously with a purpose.
...
"Fanxing, Sato just told me that he would invest in and control my yarn mill with technology. I judged that he came for my five thousand tons of cotton."
"The missing cotton suddenly appeared in Taiwan, and it must be the cause of the Japanese." Meng Fanxing nodded.
"I spent a lot of money on this batch of cotton with foreign ships, and I also bought full insurance from the Meiya Insurance Company. The goods and ships were lost. The ship company and the insurance company were even more anxious than me. They just wanted to delay the time. As long as the mortgage repayment period exceeded, they could directly enter my yarn mill. In that way, the control of this batch of raw cotton will be in their hands." Xi Hongwei said.
"It seems that the real purpose of the Japanese is not to yarn mills, but cotton raw materials." Meng Fanxing said that she is not a textile piece and is not very sensitive to the output and fluctuations of cotton raw materials.
However, Xi Hongwei has been immersed in the cotton textile industry for more than 20 years. War broke out in China and severe production cuts in cotton production areas will inevitably lead to shortage of raw materials and pushing the price of Khmer.
Cotton can be said to be a civilian resource and strategic material. Its dual attributes are destined to be the object of competition among all parties.
So, as early as the beginning of the year, he sent someone to India to sign an acquisition contract with the agent there, and gave a price of 30% higher than last year, and a premium acquisition.
Otherwise, where did he get the 5,000 tons of cotton raw materials?
This batch of cotton is transported back to China and will definitely make money. Even if the raw materials are sold, it can make the cotton mill’s losses this year. Of course, this was a decision to bet at the beginning.
Once you lose, you will have to spend all your money and spend half of your life savings.
He mortgaged forty percent of the shares and borrowed three million legal currency, and only 30% of the shares were left in his hands. The Japanese have secretly acquired many shares among the small shareholders. Once they get the forty percent of the shares, they will directly exceed half of the shares.
Then the control of the cotton mill is no longer in his hands, and the 30% of the shares in his hands are no different from a pile of straw paper.
"Yes, I only now understand their sinister intentions. They are not in my schief mill at all!" Xi Hongwei has now completely awakened.
"So, Uncle Xi, we must never let this batch of cotton fall into the hands of the Japanese." Meng Fanxing whispered.
"But Fanxing, this is 5,000 tons of cotton. Even if it is piled up, it will require a large warehouse. If the Japanese are determined to force it to rob, we can have no way to do it." Xi Hongwei said.
"Don't the Japanese want to implement their so-called peace policy in Shanghai?" Meng Fanxing said, "If they forcefully rob our cotton, wouldn't they slap themselves in the mouth?"
"What you said makes sense. These Japanese people sometimes like to seek fame." Xi Hongwei nodded and said, "What do you plan to deal with these 5,000 tons of cotton?"
"Ants move."
"I forgot that this is a solution. It's hard to transport so much cotton out of Shanghai to hide it from the Japanese, right?" Xi Hongwei said.
"It's up to people." Meng Fanxing said heavily.
Xi Hongwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In some aspects, he was really inferior to this woman in her early twenties, and her courage and mind were not inferior to men.
...
"May I ask, today's secret injury is this engagement dinner for Mr. Meng Hao and Miss Xi Mengyao?" A middle-aged man in a gray cotton robe carrying a rattan suitcase came to the door of the banquet hall. It seemed that he was coming from another place, with a look of wind and dust on his face.
"Yes, do you have an invitation?" asked the staff at the door.
"I don't have an invitation." The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly, unbuttoned his clothes, took out a wrinkled red envelope from it, and handed it over, "This is my little intention. Please help me pass it over."
"Sir, what name is written on the gift book?"
"Luo Yaozu."
After saying that, the middle-aged son who was handing over Luo Yaozu picked up his suitcase and left directly.
Register the name on the gift book, seconded from Meng'an Company, and went in with the red envelope given by the middle-aged man and found Meng Fanxing.
"Miss Fanxing, there was someone who just now asked us to register with a red envelope. He said his name was Luo Yaozu."
"Luo Yaozu, where is the person?" Meng Fanxing asked in shock when he heard this.
"It's gone."
"I'm leaving, where have I gone? Have you left an address?" Meng Fanxing asked anxiously.
"No."
"Meimei, what's wrong? Who is this Luo Yaozu?" The route next to him was also a little surprised. How could Meng Fanxing be so anxious about a person he had never heard of?
"Luo Yaozu is my uncle and Xiaohao." Meng Fanxing said regretfully as soon as he heard that the person had left long ago.
"Didn't your uncle die long ago?" Lu Xiyan was shocked. Meng Fanxing and Meng Hao's mother had a younger brother. He knew this, but he didn't know what it was called, but the Meng family always said that this uncle was dead.
Of course, Lu Xiyan had never seen this person before, so he has always believed in this matter.
Now I suddenly say that a person who had already died long ago was still alive and came to the scene of Meng Hao's engagement and gave him a gift.
Is there anything more bizarre than this?
"Hey, this matter is a long story. I haven't met my uncle several times. Every time I go in a hurry. Later, I heard that he was beaten to death by the soldiers and there was no news. We all thought he was dead." Meng Fanxing explained, "My mother cried for a long time. My uncle was her only family member in the world."
"No wonder, then what's going on? The dead are resurrected?" Lu Xiyan said with a weird expression.
"I don't know, but the name Luo Yaozu was named by my grandparents. Outsiders don't know that when they became an adult, my uncle changed his name to Luo Ziqiang." Meng Fanxing said, "I have always used this name later."
"How many years have this Luo Yaozu died?"
"It's been seven or eight years." Meng Fanxing thought for a while.
"What is your uncle doing?"
"He said he was doing business, but I don't know what he actually did, but when he was young, he heard his parents mention something about beheading."
"Seven or eight years ago, the beheading business was either a bandit or a revolution." Lu Xiyan said, "Your uncle should have studied. It is unlikely to be a bandit. This is a revolution..."
Meng Fanxing frowned, and Lu Xi's words woke her up. When this uncle died, she was still young, so she would not have thought of this.
When she became sensible and understood, the matter was over and she didn't think about it. Now it seems that maybe her uncle really might have an identity that they could not imagine.
Now that I have come back alive, I know that my nephew is engaged and even gives me gifts, but I don’t come to see them. Isn’t this a bit weird?
"Meimei, see how many were given in the red envelope?"
"What are you doing?" Meng Fanxing said angrily.
"Meimei, wherever you want to go, I want to know his financial situation." Lu Xiyan hurriedly explained.
Meng Fanxing instantly understood and opened the wrinkled red envelope and saw that there were ten fiat coins worth ten in total and one hundred fiat coins.
"One hundred legal currency is not bad. We don't need to worry about your uncle's financial situation." Lu Xiyan said, "The guests who come tonight, except for those rich families, the neighbors of the Meng family and Meng Hao's colleagues, will also have ten or twenty yuan gifts.
A rich boss like Tang Jin only gave him five hundred fiat coins, which is due to his face. Otherwise, two hundred fiat coins would be the best.
"I don't know where he went, so I didn't even leave an address." Meng Fanxing was a little worried.
"Meimei, since he has returned alive, he can still find this place, which means he wants you to know that he is back, otherwise he has no need to come and he has left his name." Lu Xiyan said, "If you have the chance, you will want to see him. If you don't go to him, he will be very good at coming to you."
"Don't tell Xiaohao about this. Xiaohao had a serious illness when he was a child. It was his uncle who ran hundreds of miles to seek medical treatment on his back, and then he saved his life." Meng Fanxing said, "He has been kissing his uncle since he was a child. If he heard that his uncle came back, he would definitely find him all over the world."
"It's not appropriate to hide it from him like this. Is it even my dad?" Lu Xiyan said.
"Let's hide it together first." Meng Fanxing said.
"Okay, then let's not talk about it for now. After a few days, you still have to find a proper opportunity to tell them." Lu Xiyan said, "You can't hide this matter. What if your uncle comes to you again?"
"Well, that's it. Xiaohao and his father will still live in our place tonight. Let Yan Lei send them back first." Meng Fanxing said.
Lu Xiyan nodded.
The engagement banquet is full of small fuss. As long as you are careful, you can handle it easily. What's more, there is another veteran Xi Hongwei. He has never seen any scenes before?
What he was even more worried about was the delivery of equipment from the dock veil mill tonight. Although the Japanese had not that long hands, they had the right to control the sea. If they really wanted to cause some trouble, it would be a bad thing.
Also, it’s with Tan Si. I don’t know what the test of Andre has been, and I always feel that Andre is not as good as it seems.
He had a plan for Fein.
