Chapter 59 Negotiation

Fang Xinshui's words startled the others, and they all looked at him as if he were a fool. After a while, Fang Jinao finally spoke:

"If you want to organize people in China, you should find the Hongmen organization in China! Why are you looking for us?"

"But I don't know anyone in the country!" The reason is powerful and impeccable.

Looking at Fang Xinshui's frank face, Fang Jinao was actually a little speechless. He smiled at himself and said:

"It seems that you want to give me money to spend! I wonder how much money each of you is willing to give as an introduction fee?"

Fang Xinshui remembered Fang Lang's instructions and couldn't help but cautiously probe:

"How about five dollars a head!"

In fact, Fang Xinshui’s ideal price is to give ten dollars for every person he introduces.

But it's business! How can you just quote your bottom price? You have to give the other party some room for bargaining!

...

...

When the few people heard this, they thought that this little money was not enough for the labor! Is this a joke? The short and fat middle-aged man thought Fang Xinshui was playing a trick on them, and he stood up and angrily shouted:

"You're sending away beggars!"

Fang Jinao was the hall master after all, and he was much more cunning. 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.

Fang Xinshui had already made up his mind, so he took a sip of tea calmly before saying:

"Don't be angry, just listen to me. We don't care how people come here, whether they cheat or immigrate for money, we don't care about these, even if you sell them tickets. As long as people get on our ship, we will pay them per person. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, they understood what Fang Xinshui meant. In this case, they would have to rely on their own abilities in the country. Even if they directly called the national army, they would get paid for sending people from a village directly to the boat! As for the rest of the things after receiving the money, it was none of their business.

Fang Jinao looked at Fang Xinshui with a meaningful look and said:

"Oh! Aren't you afraid that they will ask you to return the money on the ship?"

After all, as the recipients, they must accept people's criticism.

But Fang Xinshui said with a rogue expression:

"Look at what you said. We never collected their money. Whoever collected it should go after them! The ship belongs to the transport company. If they don't want to ride on the ship, they can just jump off. However, we will sign a formal labor dispatch contract with those who are willing to go with us. We will protect the interests of both parties. After all, we are a formal company."

The short and fat middle-aged man still didn't understand Fang Xinshui's purpose, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Aren't you guys doing business at your own expense?"

Fang Xinshui said with a smug smile:

"Hehe... How can we pay for it? After they earn their salary, they must pay us a part of the handling fee every month! Otherwise, wouldn't we be running a charity?"

Several people understood Fang Xinshui's plan instantly. They thought Fang Xinshui would treat them as illegal workers and exploit them desperately. For every ten dollars a month, they would charge six or seven dollars. If they were more ruthless, they would charge them for eight or ten years and add some interest. That would be an astronomical figure!

They were all tempted. However, they thought that Fang Xinshui might have already contacted the black kiln factory, and the workers could start working as soon as they arrived. If they did this, they would not be able to arrange work for so many people immediately, and the gang would be bankrupt. It seemed that they could do this when they found a place that needed workers in the future!

Since the other party can make so much money, it is definitely not okay to give himself five dollars! The short and fat man said:

"But five dollars a person is still too little, how about ten dollars!"

It seems that this short and fat guy is the one who is in charge of the financial resources of this gang. Otherwise, he would not come forward to discuss every time money is involved. Hearing his words, Fang Xinshui said helplessly:

"Brother, don't you understand? You can make big money from them! We are the small ones."

Humpty Dumpty's case was also very good.

"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?"

Seeing that what the other party said made sense, Fang Xinshui could only give in and said:

"Okay! Then six dollars per person! It can't be higher. Our investment is huge. If there are 10,000 people, we will have to pay 60,000 dollars."

"Brother! You can't recruit 10,000 people at six dollars a head."

After a lot of bargaining, they finally settled on eight dollars per person, which meant that the business could be launched.

According to what Fang Xinshui said, Fang Jinao had to look at him with new eyes. After all, he could take on so many labor forces at one time, which was very different from the small gang he thought!

"Brother! I didn't expect you to be so capable! I wonder when this business can start!"

Since the general direction has been discussed, there is no need to rush the rest of the matter, we can communicate slowly! So Fang Xinshui said very straightforwardly:

"I will report the results of this negotiation directly after I return. We also need to make some preparations. Once the Japanese surrender and the shipping route is unblocked, our business will officially begin."

When Fang Lang mentioned the Japanese, the short and fat middle-aged man remembered that the domestic ports were still occupied by the Japanese! Now it seems that we have been talking for so long but it is all in vain!

"Yeah! Damn it! The Japanese are still occupying the coastline! What's the point of us talking here for so long?"

However, Fang Xinshui smiled confidently and said:

"How can it be useless? Of course, business should be discussed first! We should make preparations early, and when the Japanese surrender, our ship will dock. It will be a seamless transition."

When Fang Jinao heard Fang Xinshui say that the Japanese would surrender, he was moved and looked at Fang Xinshui carefully again.

"How do you know that the Japanese will surrender? The battle is going on fiercely now! We don't even know when the battle will end!"

This is what Fang Lang heard. Fang Xinshui just plagiarized. However, Fang Xinshui believed that Fang Lang must have some inside information, so he smiled and said mysteriously:

"Hehe...if the bosses believe me, they should prepare early. I have received the news that the little notebook will not last until September."

I didn't expect Fang Xinshui to give a specific time. This made Fang Jinao stand up in a flash and said anxiously:

"Are you serious? Is the news reliable?"

It's no wonder that Fang Jinao was so shocked. After all, the Hongmen at that time also spared no effort in supporting the country. If it was really as Fang Xinshui said, it would be great news that would excite everyone.

If this is true, then with such a large initial investment, there must be some return! At this time, whoever seizes the opportunity first will get more benefits!

Our Mr. Fang Xinshui smiled with confidence and said:

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when the time comes. Anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you make some preparations in advance, right?"

As an old hand, Fang Jinao has his own judgment on Fang Xinshui's performance. He believes that Fang Xinshui must have his reasons for saying so.

Fang Jinao didn't know where this evidence came from, but it must have come from the top of the Allied Forces. Thinking about how they could easily take in tens of thousands of laborers, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether he had an official background.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Fang Jinao had decided to build a good relationship with Fang Xinshui. So, he spoke directly and straightforwardly:

"Haha...it seems like you have a very deep background! If that's the case, then we'll take the risk. I'll contact my fellow disciples in China to start preparing."

Fang Xinshui had no idea what Fang Jinao was thinking. When he saw that the other party said that he would start contacting his fellow disciples in China right away, he was of course very happy.

"Then I would like to thank Master Fang for his trust, haha..."

Fang Jinao glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past two in the afternoon. Thinking that Fang Xinshui and the others had not yet eaten, he quickly stood up and said enthusiastically:

"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't treat you well today and delayed your meal. I'll ask my brothers to prepare two tables of banquets. We can eat and chat until we are drunk."

Since the most important things have been discussed, Fang Xinshui naturally would not refuse. He just wanted to ask Fang Jinao about gang matters!

"Then I won't be polite! I want to try out the authentic Chinese food in New York's Chinatown."

In fact, Fang Xinshui’s wife is a white Brazilian. How can she eat Chinese food at home? At most, she can see some traces of Chinese food when she returns to her parents’ home. It is nonsense to expect him to be able to judge whether Chinese food is authentic or not.

But Fang Jinao didn't know! He patted his chest and assured Fang Xinshui:

"Don't worry, brother. Our chefs are all from China. We promise that you can taste the authentic taste of your hometown today."
