"As you can see, there are eight of us, but our identities are also different. Six guards means that our family is powerful and needs a separate courtyard!”"We value our own safety and have the ability and strength to protect it."”
"That makes sense!"
"As a lady, my mother doesn't have a maid by her side. This is because we need to search here. After all, we need to understand the local situation.”
"That makes sense!"
"In addition, we also need a butler who is familiar with the local situation. This way, it will be convenient for us to do things normally!”
"That makes sense!"
"So there are eight people?”
"Of course not. According to this calculation, we still need a coachman and a carriage. This living environment is naturally not small!”
"That's it. You're smart enough. Otherwise, you'd have played in the financial industry. So, what you lack is just a little understanding of the ways of the world!”
"Thank you very much. Mr. Zhang's words today are very important to me. I will serve you wholeheartedly!”
"This is exactly what I need. I believe that we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future. After all, I am still not that familiar with the Bald Eagle Country!”
"Understood. Please wait a moment. I'll open an account for you immediately!”
"Thank you!"
The conversation between the two of them confused Zhang Zhaoshi. However, it seemed that her son could handle all the problems, so she was completely relieved.
Thomas Williams was about to get up and leave when he suddenly realized something." Mr. Zhang, do you need coffee?”
"I'm still young and can't drink it. Others aren't used to it. I think you don't have tea leaves here.”
"Understood. Please wait a moment!" Thomas Williams hurriedly got up. He had been shocked by a child just now and had forgotten the most basic etiquette.
This scared the others." Son, why did you give them the money?”
"Mother, this is a bank, just like our money house. Our money is only stored here, don't worry!”
"Oh, a bank? But aren't you holding the silver notes?"
"Alright…alright!" Zhang Zhaoshi was really nervous. However, after the procedures were completed, there was a certificate. If they wanted to withdraw the money, Zhang Hanqing had to come personally. Otherwise, no one else could get it.
"Which foreign firm are you from?”
"Young Master is indeed smart. I am Guo Ru from Qichang Trading Company. Mr. Williams mentioned that someone wanted to buy a house. Coincidentally, our company has a few houses. They used to be the residence of some merchants from the Bald Eagle Kingdom, but they have left now.”
"Hmm, not bad. Then you know my conditions. Which one do you think is suitable?”
"Then what's the price?"
"Only three thousand taels!"
" Oh..." Three thousand taels of silver was not expensive in Zhang Hanqing's eyes. At this time, there were not many people in the public concession. It was only when the domestic war broke out that a large number of people poured in. At that time, the land price would increase day by day.
If it wasn't for the limited funds now, Zhang Hanqing would have wanted to hoard the land. In the future, the big landowners from Jiangsu and Zhejiang would all be very rich.
"Alright, then let's go there and take a look. I wonder if we can move in immediately?”
"If there's nothing that Young Master is dissatisfied with, it's fine. If there's anything that needs to be modified, you can also find a hotel first!”
"You're welcome. I have a feeling that you'll be the most distinguished guest of our bank!”Thomas Williams changed very quickly, but it was only on the surface. He still needed time to think and learn the specifics.
The group of people left the bank. There were already two carriages parked outside. It seemed that the Chinese knew more.
Zhang Zhaoshi carried Zhang Hanqing and Guo Ru in the same carriage, while the two guards were arranged to stand at the back of the carriage. This made Guo Ru somewhat confused. This young master did not seem to come from a wealthy family.
After all, this madam didn't seem to avoid other men. He couldn't figure out why she was from outside the pass. After all, he didn't know much about outside the pass.
"Him? As an official!" Zhang Hanqing smiled and said.
As expected, Guo Ru frowned. Would the family of an official be so casual?
Guo Ru was a Chinese, so he naturally understood the situation of the Chinese. Although he was wearing a suit and did not have a big braid, he was still a Chinese.
He also knew the twists and turns, so he couldn't understand!
Zhang Hanqing wouldn't explain to him. He wanted to do business, so he naturally wouldn't look for these foreigners 'compradors. Instead, he would talk to the foreigners directly.
Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination. Zhang Hanqing was carried out of the carriage. He looked around and found that the environment was not bad.
On both sides of the street were bungalows with single courtyards, but they did not seem to occupy much space.
Guo Ru knocked on the door. It was an old man who opened the door. He was obviously the person who looked after the house.
"Mr. Guo, you're here?"
"Yes, I'm here to take a look at the house!"
The old man's expression changed instantly, and a worried look crept up his face. If someone came to see the house, it meant that the house was about to be sold. Then, he had almost lost his job, right?
Zhang Hanqing could see it clearly, but he did not say anything for the time being. The door was pushed open. It could indeed accommodate a carriage, but the area inside was indeed not big. There was not a fountain or sculpture in the front yard.
The villa was only three stories high, but it was very wide. Zhang Hanqing allowed Guo Ru to show him around.
Overall, it was not bad, and there was no need to be too particular about it. This was just a temporary residence, but Zhang Hanqing was also considering whether to buy a piece of land and build a Zhang Residence.
However, that would cost a lot of money. However, there was no hurry now. Three thousand taels of shadow money was just enough to buy a villa with such a cramped layout.
"Alright, let's do it here. There are many daily necessities that I still need Mr. Guo's guidance!”
"No problem!" Guo Ru laughed.
