Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

After the meal, Carl asked the servant to call his son Bert to his room.

"Father, are you feeling better?" Bert came to Karl's room. He didn't directly ask his father what he wanted from him, but asked about his father's health first.

"Fortunately, there's no big problem. Let's sit down first." Karl was quite satisfied with his eldest son. He always behaved modestly and politely in front of him, unlike his second son who was arrogant and domineering all day long.

"Well, father, what do you want from me today?" Bert, who sat down, asked what his father wanted from him.

"Burt, did you notice anything different at dinner today?"

"Father, today's bread tastes very good, much better than before. Who baked today's bread?" Bert was also a little confused. The bread tonight was indeed much better than usual.

He hadn't heard that his father had changed chefs, so how could the taste be so different?

"It's still the same chef as before, but the flour was flown in from Hong Kong Island by your brother John." Carl told Bert the reason.

"How is it possible? How could there be such delicious flour in that place on Hong Kong Island?" Bert looked in disbelief. Although he had never been to Hong Kong Island, he had heard that the East was a barbaric and backward place. How could it happen? Such delicious flour.

Even if there is such delicious flour in the world, it should exist in Europe, not in that barbaric and backward place in the East.

"No doubt, I sent someone to get it back from the airport. Your brother John, there was news a few days ago that he found a company on Hong Kong Island. The ingredients they sell are very delicious. John is going to work with him. Cooperating with that company, he first flew some rice and flour over for us to try. I have eaten the rice and it tastes great..." Karl told a general story about the rice and flour that John sent over.

"Father, drink some water." Seeing that his father was a little tired after talking so much, Bert poured a glass of water for his father.

"Hmm, do you think John's business can be done?" Carl asked Bert after drinking the water.

"Father, I think it's okay. I have never tasted such delicious ingredients in all my years in Europe. I believe that after our packaging, they will be sold at a high price in Europe. Those capitalists and old aristocrats are not short of money. people."

Bert immediately saw the business opportunities in this. As a noble son of the John Bull Country, he knew very well how many wealthy people there were in the entire John Bull Country, and even in the entire Europe.

"Okay, then you contact your brother John and ask him to establish a good relationship with the company on Hong Kong Island first. You can also ask someone to investigate and see where their ingredients come from. As long as we have the If we don’t have enough supply, we can kick this company away..."

"Okay, Father, is there anything else you can do?" Burt agreed with Karl's words. If they don't know the source of the goods, they can cooperate well. As long as they have control over the source of the goods, there will be nothing wrong with this company.

"There's nothing wrong. Go and do your work. You should worry more about family matters..."

Since becoming immobilized, Carl has basically left all the family affairs to Bert, which can be regarded as letting him get familiar with it in advance.

After Karl waited for Bert to leave, he murmured: 'John, it all depends on your luck...'

Bert left the manor and returned to his residence. He was thinking about John along the way. John had never been a threat to him before, but this time he was able to find such a good business. There is no guarantee that this old guy Carl has no idea.

But no matter what, business still needs to be done. Karl has said this a long time ago that no matter how the brothers fight, they are not allowed to harm the interests of the family.

It wasn't that Bert was afraid of John, but he felt that John, a man who had no ability and no means, could actually encounter such a good thing.

But now is not the time to think about other things, let’s finalize the business first.

Bert sent a telegram to John who was far away in Hong Kong Island and wanted to ask John about the specific matters of cooperation.

……

After a week of waiting, Ma Jingyun finally waited until John came to the door.

"Manager Ma, I didn't disturb your work, did I?" John was very polite when he came to visit. He had communicated well with his family in the past few days. They valued this business very much and asked him to have a good relationship with New Century Trading Company.

"Mr. John, welcome." Ma Jingyun asked John to the reception room. The two sat down and exchanged a few words before getting down to the topic.

"Manager Ma, I'm here today mainly because I want to discuss specific cooperation matters with your company. My company in John Bull Country has already been registered. As long as there are no problems, I hope to get more goods as soon as possible... "

"Okay, Mr. John, the price is still the same as last time. As for the payment method, please agree in advance. You must get the money and goods first-hand. After all, Hong Kong Island is too far away from John Bull Country. If there is any problem, our small business will I can’t afford it…”

"Manager Ma, there is no problem with the price. It's just the price and the goods. I can't agree. I don't know if your company's products have been sold in John Bull country yet. If you ask me to pay first, I can't give you that much." money……"

John was a little dissatisfied with what Ma Jingyun said about first-hand money and first-hand goods. It was not about buying bags of rice on the roadside. How could such a large transaction be paid in full at once.

"Mr. John, this is a rule set by our boss, I can't make the decision..."

"Then call your boss and I'll talk to him." John was very unhappy now, what a violation of the rules.

"I'm sorry, Mr. John, our boss is not in Hong Kong right now. I don't know when he will come back." Ma Jingyun doesn't follow John's lead. It's a seller's market now. How can you just say what you say?

"Um, Manager Ma, see if you can contact your boss. I can't get so much money right now."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The boss's rules are here. Why don't we wait until our boss comes back to talk?" Ma Jingyun directly gave John a way to retreat.

"When will your boss come back?"

"I'm not sure about this. It could be a week or two, it could be a month or two. It could be several months."

In fact, this was Ma Jingyun's truth. She didn't know exactly when the boss would come back.

"Okay, bring me the contract and let me take a look." John's abilities were limited to begin with, but he was fooled by Ma Jingyun in just a few moments.

Ma Jingyun asked John to wait a moment, came to his office, and gave John the contract that Luo Hai had drafted long ago.

John looked at the contract and found no traps. He closed the contract and said, "Manager Ma, I have to take this contract back and let my lawyer take a look at it. I can't sign it yet."

John is not stupid. For such a big contract, it is better to have a professional look at it. He is worried that Ma Jingyun will set a trap in the contract, so it is better to be careful.

"No problem, Mr. John, you can take the contract, but I hope that no irrelevant people will see this contract. After all, it is your business and I don't want anyone else to interfere."

"No problem, Manager Ma, I'll leave first." John put the contract into his bag and left New Century Trading Company.
