This scene not only happened in Nanxun, but also in other places. As the time approached, businessmen gradually set off for Shanghai. Most of these businessmen came from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places. Of course, there were also some well-informed people from the inland.

Businessmen from as far away as Shanxi and Inner Mongolia arrived immediately after hearing the news. They took various means of transportation and hurried to Shanghai.

At the end of March 1914, as the investment conference was about to be held, countless business people poured into Shanghai. For a time, the streets were full of southern and northern accents, the hotels were full, and it was very lively.

On Monday, March 30, the investment promotion meeting arranged at Huizhong Hotel officially began. For this investment promotion model, Fang Zida learned from the Canton Fair method a hundred years later and made careful preparations.

A registration office has been set up at the main entrance, which is run by a few young and smart guys. They register the guests who come to attend. After registration, a badge of different colors will be issued to each person according to the industry they operate.

This card allows you to freely enter and exit various venues of the Investment Promotion Association. At the same time, a beautifully printed booklet is distributed to everyone, which details the layout and route map of the entire venue.

After entering the venue, people found that the original lobby had been redesigned, and there were signboards at every corner. There were also some staff wearing uniforms to guide them.

"This investment fair looks good." Zhang Junheng and others' eyes lit up when they entered the venue, and they couldn't help but nod in praise.

"It's something new. Compared with the chaotic chamber of commerce, the layout of the guild hall is much cleaner." The speaker was Zhang Junheng's younger brother Zhang Jingjiang. Zhang Junheng and others moved into Zhang Jingjiang's home as soon as they arrived in Shanghai. Today is

On the first day, they set off early and entered the venue as one of the first batch.

On the side, the third son of Gu, Gu Shouming, was looking at the brochure in his hand carefully. He soon found out about the textile machinery. As one of the four elephants of the Gu family, Gu Shouming inherited his father's business, and he was a professional textile student.

, are particularly interested in these things.

At his suggestion, everyone went there first to have a look. Everyone was very excited when they saw it. No one expected that the textile machinery for sale at the investment fair was actually the best in Europe. All the people present were experts. How could it be that

can not tell?

"This machine is great!" Gu Shouming touched a yarn machine and said happily: "I saw it when I went to Europe last year. I wanted to buy a set back directly, but these foreign devils refused to sell it to me. Who knows what will happen today?

See you here!”

Several people who had never seen it came up with interest and looked at the structure of the yarn machine carefully. Gu Shouming pointed at the yarn machine and explained its advantages, which made everyone nod.

"This gentleman is really an expert! What you said is absolutely correct. This is the latest spinning machine in the UK." A staff member said at the side, and took out several manuals and handed them over. Everyone quickly took them and took them carefully.

Look, as Gu Shouming said, detailed information is marked on it, including usage methods, output, labor required, etc., very detailed.

"How much does this machine cost?" Gu Shouming took a quick look and asked hurriedly.

The staff member smiled and said a number, and Gu Shouming was stunned for a moment.

"What? Is it expensive?" Liu Chengqian saw his strange expression and couldn't help but ask.

Gu Shouming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Expensive? Haha, it's cheap! It's almost the same price as in Europe, it's so cheap!"

"Really?" Everyone was shocked and asked quickly. Gu Shouming nodded seriously. He went to Europe for inspection last year and specifically asked about the price. How could there be any mistake?

"I'm sorry, let me ask, is this machine really worth this price?" Zhang Jingjiang was a little surprised. The price is the same as in Europe. How is this possible? You must know that just shipping to China costs a lot. Don't sellers make money? Or else?

There is something fishy.

"Sir, don't be surprised. The price of our store's machines is absolutely right!" The staff seemed to have known such a question and replied with a smile.

"How long does it take for your firm to order an order? Is there any discrepancy between the physical goods and the samples? How much advance payment is required for the order?" Zhang Junheng and others exchanged glances with each other, and then asked a series of questions. In their opinion, it is so cheap.

, and there is likely to be something wrong with such advanced equipment, and perhaps the other party will do something wrong in shipping, physical goods, payment, etc.

But the staff's answer surprised and delighted them, because the other party told them that a large number of physical goods had arrived at the Shanghai dock warehouse. If they wanted to order, they could place an order directly and then go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. In addition, the other party's commercial bank was also responsible for

Installation, debugging, daily maintenance, etc. As for the contract, the firm has also drafted it. If there are no objections to the terms, it can be signed on site.

After a brief silence, Zhang Junheng and others hurriedly asked the staff for the contract. After reading the contract and discussing with each other, they decided to order now without saying a word. Zhang Junheng and others are all textile workers, how could they not know the benefits of having this kind of equipment?

Their importance? These wealthy Nanxun businessmen ordered nearly a hundred units on the spot. Looking at the thick stack of contracts and deposits, the staff laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

After the contract was signed and the deposit was paid on the spot, Zhang Junheng, Gu Shouming and others quickly sent their men to the dock warehouse to see the goods. After they left, they both showed satisfied smiles, feeling that the trip was really worthwhile!

"Third Young Master! Third Young Master!"

Just as he was about to go check out other places, a man suddenly squeezed through the crowd and ran toward them. Gu Shouming turned around and saw, isn't this their big shopkeeper?

"Uncle Sun, what's wrong?"

"Third Young Master, let's go, come with me!" Shopkeeper Sun gasped and grabbed Gu Shouming's arm, pulling him towards the second floor. Gu Shouming asked a little strangely, but Shopkeeper Sun only said

There are good things, but as for what good things are, you'll find out after you get there.

Everyone suddenly became curious and hurriedly followed Shopkeeper Sun. When they reached the second floor, they discovered that there were more people on the second floor than on the first floor. The sea of ​​people was almost overwhelming.

Shopkeeper Sun pulled Gu Shouming and rushed forward as hard as he could. He finally squeezed in and shouted to the two foreigners sitting behind the desk: "Our boss is here. Please talk to our boss directly about what we just discussed."

"

"Talk? What to talk about?" Gu Shouming was still confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"What's your surname, sir?" A foreigner in his forties, speaking fluent Chinese, raised his head and asked Gu Shouming.

"This is the third young master of our Gu family, who is also our boss." Shopkeeper Sun said quickly.

"Mr. Gu, hello." The foreigner extended his hand to shake Gu Shouming's hand politely, and then said directly: "Mr. Sun just said that your bank has a large production capacity in the textile industry, and the products are of high quality.

, has a good reputation, isn’t it?”

"Excuse me, it's just a slight exaggeration, but our Gu family still has some status in Nanxun." Gu Shouming smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold his glasses and said.

"It turns out to be the Gu family from Nanxun, I know that! Since that's the case, it's no problem!" The foreigner seemed a little surprised, but at the same time he seemed relieved, and smiled and handed over a list: "Mr. Gu, take a look at these things.

Can your bank produce it? Can it achieve this output?"

Gu Shouming subconsciously took it, and after taking a few glances, his eyes almost popped out. He had always been young and mature, but his hands were trembling slightly. He asked in surprise: "Sir, is this true?"

"Of course! If your bank can fulfill the contract, we can sign it right away."

Gu Shouming suppressed his heart and was ecstatic. He hurriedly read through the terms and conditions of payment. Without saying anything, he immediately took out his pen and said: "Sign! Why don't you sign? I'll sign now!"

Soon, a big deal was completed in the shortest time. With the signed contract in hand, Gu Shouming was ecstatic. At this time, Zhang Junheng and others also crowded over. Seeing Gu Shouming like this, he hurriedly asked what was going on. Gu Shouming

He laughed and handed the contract to Zhang Junheng to read. Zhang Junheng and others looked at it and were also stunned.

"Gu Laosan, you are too quick to act? Aren't you afraid that the Gu family won't be able to swallow such a big order?" Pang Yuancheng said sourly.

"Haha, how could it be? Don't forget the equipment you just ordered. With all these equipment, are you still worried that you won't be able to eat it?" Gu Shouming said with a smile.

"Third Young Master, we are all friends. I don't doubt that your Gu family can make this list, but you can share it with us no matter what." Some people regretted that they came late. Who knows if Gu Shouming went out today?

Damn it? Such luck. Seeing that such a big order was actually taken by the Gu family, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why!" Gu Shouming quickly grabbed his contract: "Everyone relies on their own ability to find business, why should I share my business with you? If you have the ability, you can find it yourself!"

"Gu Laosan! What do you mean?"

"That's right, you can eat meat but also give everyone some soup, right?"

Now everyone was dissatisfied. They were yelling at each other one by one. Just when Gu Shouming was regretting that he had said the wrong thing in his complacency and was about to say a few soft words to smooth things over, who would have thought that the foreigner who just signed the contract with him suddenly suddenly

opened his mouth.

"Are you all friends in the textile industry? If this is really great, our firm's demand is actually very large. What Mr. Gu just signed was a small part."

"What!"

For a moment, there was silence. Several people who were noisy just now looked at the foreigner at the same time. Seeing the foreigner smilingly taking out a stack of contracts and shaking them at them, these people suddenly did not care about their status, including those who had just signed a big deal.

Gu Shouming shouted together and rushed forward in a swarm.
