Chapter 1057 Get Lost
Perhaps Richard really couldn't figure out why Zhang Tong was so furious all of a sudden. Not because of any other reason, but because of what he said [worth five out of a hundred].
More than a hundred years ago, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty experienced a series of disrespects in the Opium War, the British army's strong ships and guns straddled the Yangtze River, directly cutting off the north-south water transportation. The Manqing water division was vulnerable, unable to even fight against the strong ships and guns of the British army.
The country's north-south water transport was cut off, the north-south trade route was almost cut off, and grain could not cross the Yangtze River. The big promise is China's obedience.
In the end, the first unequal treaty in China's modern history-the "Nanjing Treaty" was signed under unavoidable circumstances.
In addition to the opening of five ports, the separation of the British Concession and the compensation of 21 million taels of silver in the Nanjing Treaty. The most important thing is the clear stipulation in the Treaty of Nanjing.
From now on, the huge China will no longer retain customs rights. The Qing Dynasty has no qualifications and rights to intervene in imported and exported items, and all tariffs charged on commodities are also set by the United Kingdom.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty could only enjoy the tariff right on the surface, and this tariff right was: no matter any merchant from any country sold any commodity in China, China could only collect a tariff of 5% of the value of the commodity from it. And this is the famous [Worth 100 Draw Five].
Since then, a huge country has lost a very important piece of national sovereignty - the right to tariffs.
And this word [worth five out of one hundred] is inserted into the blood of this country like a thorn.
If Lao Zhang was still interested in talking about yin and yang with Richard and others before, then now he has no such interest at all. He picked up the bronze statue of Guan Erye and injured Richard's feet.
"You guys are so majestic. Do you still want to come and get five for a hundred draws? Do you think this is one hundred and seventy years ago?!" Zhang Tong looked at the three of Richard with a cold face.
"If you want to show your prestige, don't come here to play with me. Come three security guards and drag these three people out for me!"
Zhang Tong is no longer in the mood to continue greeting these three people. Originally, he was unhappy because the family happiness with his wife was interrupted, but now he became even more unhappy.
"If you have the surname Zhang, don't toast or eat fine wine. We have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
Before being pulled out by the security guard, that red-necked Raymond was still shouting there.
"Oh, what a powerful official. I want to see how you deal with me. Throw it out. And that traitor, forget the point." Zhang Tong took special care of Ouyang Changtian.
Although Ouyang Changtian didn't say a word just now (mainly because his teeth leaked, it was inconvenient to say anything).
But Zhang Tong still took special care of him. Because I think that although the Opium War was defeated again and again, it did not shake the foundation of the country. If the protracted war continues, it will be a matter of time before the expeditionary British army is defeated. What really made the problem serious was the interruption of the north-south water transportation. The British did not know the importance of China's north-south water transportation to this country.
It was a traitor who made this opinion. For some petty gains, the country's righteousness and even the lives of millions of people have been sold.
Although Ouyang Changtian didn't say anything today, no matter how Zhang Tong saw him, he felt uncomfortable. So just let people lose a little bit.
The security guards of the Holy Branch Magic Wand Company are also different from the security guards outside. The three security guards in black took out three magic wands from their arms and tapped them lightly: "Wrap tightly."
The three of them were tightly wrapped by the filaments ejected from the wand. When the security guard threw the three of them out of the company's gate, Richard and the three of them still hadn't figured out why the matter suddenly developed like this.
Ouyang Changtian still felt that he was planned to be a handle, but he was kicked out before the handle was used.
Raymond got up angrily from the ground: "How dare they! How dare they treat us like this! I'm going to sue them! Richard, contact China, we have to deal with this company. They take themselves too seriously. "
Raymond felt ashamed. He had never been insulted like this in his life, and was thrown out of the company like a dead dog. It's too ugly.
Richard's feet were still hurting, and he struggled to get up: "At first, I just wanted to use commercial means to have a good talk with them. It seems that it is really impossible. These Chinese people really don't know what to do. , we must show them some color."
And Ouyang Changtian felt that he was the most wronged one. Originally, he was hoping to use Richard and Raymond to put pressure on Zhang Tong and further put pressure on Dahei. In the end, let that damn big black kneel in front of him to apologize and admit his mistake.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tong would dare to throw the three of them out without giving any face. And he threw it out without saying anything.
This instantly shattered his original idea of pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner.
How is this person surnamed Zhang different from the last one surnamed Zhang? The last one surnamed Zhang is so polite. We just said that we want to buy his company, and he agreed after thinking about it for five hours.
This is the attitude of doing business, what the hell is this Zhang Tong. Will you do business?
"Let this Zhang Tong wait and see. Since he doesn't cooperate, let him lose the entire North American market!" Lei Meng left angrily, and before leaving, he gave Ouyang Changtian a special look.
"The useless people from Country X!"
"I'm not from country X, I'm an American!" Ouyang Changtian hastily defended: "I was an American citizen ten years ago!"
"Hmph." Raymond didn't bother to talk to him.
………………
Shengke Magic Wand Company, Qin Kuairen's office.
Qin Kuiren and Zhang Tong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, watching Richard and the other three being thrown out. Qin Kuairen was very pleased, the three of them were too arrogant just now. He didn't say anything when he came in, just said that he would buy the company's business in North America for US$300 million.
Who are you, why are you so big-faced? Do you know how big the business handicap in North America is? 300 million US dollars can at most give you the agency rights of an economically underdeveloped continent. Returning all the business in North America, is it worth five hundred draws?
Is this a dream? !
"But boss, seeing how arrogant they are, they may have something to rely on behind them. Do you think something will happen?" Qin Kuairen was a little worried: "The situation in North America..."
Zhang Tong waved his hand: "It's okay, there is Gao Xiaomin in North America. With her wrist, I believe that even if there is something wrong, she can settle it."
Gao Xiaomin, who was far away in the United States, was sleeping, and for no reason broke out in a cold sweat, as if he had a nightmare. She woke up and sat up on the bed.
"What's going on? I feel like something is wrong. Is something going to happen?"
