Two months later, Chengdu citizens fell in love with the fast, convenient and cheap rickshaws. The business of the car shop is getting better and better as expected by the small teapot. The income has gradually increased from more than 200 cents per car per day at the beginning to more than 500 cents per day, and the monthly income of each car is equivalent to fifteen taels of silver.

When settled the accounts in the second month, this result scared the little teapot brothers and shopkeeper Deng.

Fifteen taels of silver are thirty silver dollars. Excluding the 9.50 cents of the bus, repair fees and taxes, the monthly profit of each car is as high as 21.50 cents. A rough calculation makes it only take half a year to recover the vehicle investment.

The brothers were very happy, and they all said that if the elder brother hadn't wanted to dress the driver and put the vehicle on the signboard of the car shop, there would probably be a great situation like this now.

The car was written in paint, car number, and coachman in uniform dress, so that the guests could sit at ease. Mr. Chen, a few days ago, also learned the car business in Chengnan.

The little teapot was not complacent. He saw potential problems, so he resolutely launched a new plan prepared: contracting system, despite the opposition of the crowd.

On May 20th, the New Calendar, more than 50 comrades in the car shop gathered happily. With deep gratitude and infinite hope, they stamped the "Contract Contract" in duplicate and pressed their own handprints.

From today on, the rickshaws they rely on to support their families "belong to them". They only need to pay 16 yuan to the car dealer every month. After a year, the car will truly belong to them. After a year, they only need to pay three yuan in business tax and management fees a month. The rest of the income is at their own control, and they almost become their own boss.

Don’t think that the small teapot is kind and not profitable. You should know that at present, only the Jetta car shop in the city can repair bicycles and rickshaws. The three masters recruited from the indestructible arsenal. The repair level is very high, and all the spare parts are exclusively operated by the Jetta car shop. The profit here is huge, not to mention the kerosene business that is getting bigger and bigger and has amazing profits.

These are all small meanings, and another big move of the small teapot is put out one after another:

A hundred brand new Japanese rickshaws were transported to the car dealership and assembled. More than 2,000 coolies who had read newspaper advertisements took guarantors and guarantee documents, waiting day and night at the door of the car dealership, trying every means to become a member of the Jetta car dealership.

Nowadays, Jetta Cars are well-known, and the shopkeeper is kind and well-managed. Being a Jetta Cars is the most popular thing in the entire Chengdu City.

This batch of 100 rickshaws did not cost a penny for the small teapot. They were sold to Jetta Cars by the high-profile Japanese businessman Tsuka Genjiro to credit for the Jetta Cars. They will not be settled in six months, and the price is very favorable: each car will be 120 silver dollars.

Just when the little teapot and the second shopkeeper Rhodes were busy, the British rich man Robbing sent someone to call the little teapot.

The little teapot ordered Rhodes to say a few words to Ma Gan, and soon arrived at the British foreign business, took the green tea offered by the shop's shop, and politely asked why Robbetting was sitting opposite him so anxious?

Roboting's face, which was gradually gaining weight, still had the same calm smile. He flipped off the ashes from the big cigar, pinched it out, leaned forward slightly, and smiled heartily:

"Xiao, I have to tell you regretfully that from now on, you can no longer buy Japanese rickshaws, because our 1,500 rickshaw accessories and twelve advanced processing equipment will arrive tomorrow. I ask you to assemble all these spare parts and sell them all within a month. Can you do it?"

The little teapot was shocked: "Sir, didn't you say that the goods will arrive at the beginning of next month? I have told you about buying a hundred rickshaws from the Tsukayuan Trading Company before and obtained your consent. Now..."

"Haha! Please don't be excited, my dear friend."

Roboting interrupted the teapot and explained very kindly: "I have no objection to selling 100 rickshaws from the Zhongyuan Trading Company to credit. On the contrary, I would like to praise you for this. If you hadn't told the Japanese frankly about our cooperation in opening a bicycle factory, I'm afraid they would have thought they could occupy the bicycle and rickshaw market in Sichuan, and you made the Japanese retreat.

"The only thing I don't understand is how could that Japanese man who was a generous gentleman on the surface but extremely greedy on the inside give you such generous conditions, and the total payment of more than 10,000 yuan will be settled six months later. This surprised me."

The little teapot knew what Robotei was doubting, but so far, he didn't know why Jiro Tsuka Genyo gave him such a big discount, so he could only express his opinion frankly:

"I have been thinking about Mr. Tsukaru's generosity in my heart. The half-year payment terms were offered by him... But afterwards, I speculated that the old rickshaw we purchased was lowering prices across the country. The wheels wrapped in a circle of rubber belts outside the steel wheels were indeed behind. Compared with the pneumatic tires of the bicycle, it seems to be so far behind an era!

"So, I think it is inevitable that old rickshaws will be sold as soon as possible before the product is eliminated. This is probably the real intention of Zhongyuan to sell it to me for credit. After all, big cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou have already started selling rickshaws with pneumatic tires."

Roberting nodded: "Your analysis is basically the same as mine. This is also the real reason why I came to you today, and I hope you can sell all 1,500 old rickshaws in one month. Judging from the current trend, we will have to change to rickshaws with pneumatic tires from the next batch."

"No hurry to do this!"

The little teapot smiled and said, "Sir, if possible, I would like to ask you to buy two thousand of these old rickshaw accessories back and assemble them. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity when the old car parts are facing elimination and sharp price reduction, isn't it good for us to make more money?"

Luo Boting was surprised: "Xiao, are you sure?"

Xiaochake said confidently: "We are sure that we have successfully opened the kerosene market in seven counties around Chengdu, with seven strong third-level dealers. Many of these customers are very optimistic about the rickshaw passenger transport business. Five of them have signed a rickshaw purchase commission agreement with me, with a number of more than 800.

"I expect that in the future, the order volume of old rickshaws will increase significantly, because the population and city scale of more than a dozen counties around Chengdu are not small, and the market has great potential. Another thing is that, in terms of the current Chengdu market, there are at least 2,500 vehicles. You may have seen the people who are queuing up to buy and contract at the door and yard of our car shop in the past two days, and there are no less than 2,000 people!"

After drinking half a cup of tea, the small teapot continued to state under the bright gaze of Roboting:

"Last point, continuing to sell old rickshaws is in line with the local conditions. Although pneumatic tires are good, the cost and difficulty of repairing and maintenance have also increased accordingly. At least it is necessary to inflate frequently, and requires a pump, tire replenishment glue and skilled tire replenishment technology. These are things that locals do not have or are unwilling to do in a short period of time, so I suggest you think carefully."

Roboting stood up excitedly: "Does this still need to be considered? Tomorrow I will send a telegram to Shanghai immediately and entrust my brother to buy back two thousand accessories... Xiao, you are the best. Establishing an intimate cooperative relationship with you is the most correct decision I have made after coming to China. For this, I want to thank God!"

The little teapot couldn't help but smile. Seeing Roboting's wife and daughter coming over when they heard the sound, they quickly stood up to greet politely.

After getting along with each other for a long time, An Yi realized that the white girl he saw during his second visit to the foreign business was Roboting's daughter. She was sixteen years old and came to China with her mother after studying in the UK.

Mrs. Roberting happily poured a cup of fragrant coffee for the small teapot and ordered the servants to bring fruits and snacks.

After a moment of greeting, Xiao Teapot once again turned the topic to the matter of cooperating with the construction of a factory:

"Sir, it seems that due to the constraints of electricity, it is no problem to temporarily set up the factory in the yard diagonally opposite... However, if we follow our development plan, it will not take long for the yard opposite to be enough. I wonder what arrangements do you have?"

Robbing pondered for a moment:

"Xiao, maybe we need to buy a set of steam generators. I will find a way to do this. You still need to do a lot of work. I also want to refer to your method to recruit from Sichuan Arsenal. After all, boilers, foot stampers, welding machines, etc. all require skilled technology."

Xiao Teapot weighed the matter quickly and realized that Roboting did not intend to distribute the factory shares to him, and he was slightly out of control.

However, it is no wonder that with my current financial resources, I am indeed not qualified to expect anything. Being able to obtain the distribution rights of British kerosene, small industrial products and rickshaws has far exceeded the expectations of the previous small teapot. Therefore, I can only bury my disappointment and unwillingness in my heart, stand up at the right time, and politely say goodbye:

"Thank you for your delicious coffee, if nothing else, I'll leave for now."

"Dear Xiao, we will be very happy if you can stay for dinner together. Our Baoer daughter Betty wants you to appreciate her piano skills, and Zhuang Sen will come later."

Mrs. Luo, who is thin and has a rich charm, sends an invitation.

The little teapot was in a dilemma. This was the third time that Mrs. Luo had sent a similar invitation, and it was a bit unkind to refuse.

Seeing this, Roboting smiled slightly: "Dinner time is coming soon, Xiao, please stay for a drink. I still have a lot to ask for your opinion."

"It's better to obey your orders than respect." The little teapot had no choice but to agree.

Zhuang Sen arrived as soon as he said that, and Roboting ordered the two Chinese friends to lead everyone to the backyard.

The yard with a wide area and flowers and trees is decorated with flowers and trees everywhere is very neat and elegant. A lush lotus tree that is a century-old tree, full of vitality, showing the owner's cultivation and unique aesthetics everywhere. It can be seen that the Roboting family pays great attention to the quality of life.

The dinner was very rich, with steak, salad, grilled sausage and silverfish soup, which tasted very delicious. The two Indian servants were dressed neatly and well-trained. In addition to the small teapot with a light robe in the table, they were all dressed in luxury and formal clothes. This made the little teapot secretly ashamed, so they simply refused the high-quality red wine and signaled the Indian servant to hand him half of the bottle of sograbic. The mellow and unique sograbic was the favorite of the little teapot for two lifetimes.

Seeing this, Zhuang Sen was very happy to drink whiskey with a small teapot. This white young man came to the East from the UK four years ago to find gold, traveled to major cities in north and south of China and finally ended up being penniless. He went to the Shanghai Jardines Corporation for a job a year ago. He was lucky to know Roboting's younger brother, and was appreciated by Roboting and recommended it to his brother.

Not long after, Zhuang Sen, who graduated from Cambridge University in the UK, gradually became Roberting's right-hand assistant. If it were not for decision-making affairs, he usually dealt with the little teapot on behalf of Roberting.

Zhuang Sen has a good personality, frank, enthusiastic, diligent and studious. He can not only engage in Chinese dialogue fluently, but also speaks a lot of Sichuan slang, but his tone is not sure enough. In the past few months, Xiaochake Teapot has made great progress in English with the help of Zhuang Sen, and the basic dialogue has become quite decent.

The dinner was warm and pleasant. The little teapot cleverly brought the topic to Betty, whom the Roberting couple loved, which made the atmosphere harmonious and laughter constantly, and received the expected miracle effect. The little teapot's understanding and elegant conversation also made the Roberting family like him even more.

After the pleasant dinner, it was finally the tall, plump and pretty Betty performance. She walked slowly, walked to the piano and sat down, stretched out her fair and slender fingers, and moved a little. The little teapot also imitated the Roberting couple, pinched half a glass of wine, and surrounded Zhuang Sen, who had become a business partner and friend.

Zhuang Sen's blue eyes were now fully devoted to Betty's seductive neck and fair shoulders, focusing on the deep cleavage that could not be covered above her half-breasted long skirt.

Perhaps it was because of the differences in the aesthetics of the times or nations. The little teapot did not feel any amazing about Betty, who was full of youthful atmosphere. His eyes remained on the exquisite German piano and Betty's skillful fingers. After a beautiful and emotional song was played, the little teapot woke up and quickly put down the wine glass and applauded enthusiastically with everyone.

Betty thanked gracefully, then turned to the small teapot and asked with a slight cunning question: "Xiao, can you understand?"

The Loboting couple was a little embarrassed and quickly coughed in a low voice to remind their daughter to be polite. Zhuang Sen watched the fun with a romance. During this period, he had never gained the upper hand with the little teapot, so he was happy to see the little teapot being defeated.

The little teapot didn't look embarrassed at all, and it was still that faint smile:

"Miss Betty's piano skills are very high. It can be seen that she has worked hard. Without years of hard work, she would not be able to play so well. This song "Sernery" by Schubert has a unique charm under Miss Betty's fingertips. I almost forgot where I am."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him, who had long braids and robe, knew Schubert, and couldn't help looking at each other with curiosity.

Betty opened her mouth and showed her beautiful white teeth. It took a while to come back to her senses, with disbelief on her face: "This is so surprising... Xiao, do you understand music too? Or do you play a song for us?"

Zhuang Sen, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, agreed, and the Luo Boting and his wife looked at the small teapot with great interest. The small teapot had to bite the bullet and said:

"This... to be honest, Miss Betty, I rarely play the piano, my level is very poor, I just like it. In contrast, among the many Western instruments, my favorite is the guitar, but here you..."

"Xiao, you are dishonest. I know you. Since you say that, you will definitely be able to play the piano, you will definitely be! But you still stubbornly maintain the ridiculous modesty and reserve of you Chinese, right?"

Zhuang Sen was very unfaithfully trying to see the little teapot make a fool of himself.

Mrs. Roboting took a few steps forward and made a request very enthusiastically:

"Xiao, play a song. We all want to listen to different styles of performance. I believe that your musical level is as outstanding as your business talent."

It was even more ugly if he didn't agree. The little teapot had to shrugged and sat generously on the seat that Betty gave up, moved his slightly stiff fingers, closed his eyes slightly, and popped up a small piece of strange notes to find the feeling in his memory. Finally, under the eyes of several curious or suspicious, a wonderful prelude popped up, and then played it with concentration.

The little teapot's fingers became more and more flexible, and the smooth and beautiful notes kept flowing out of the black and white keyboard. The surprised Roboting family and Zhuang Sen were soon brought into the charming artistic conception by the wonderful music.

Although the little teapot's playing skills are not as good as Betty, his musicality is very good, and his interpretation is very delicate and sincere, without any fancy showing off. The Roberting and his wife are fascinated by hearing it. Betty's cheeks are flushed and his eyes are blurred. Zhuang Sen opened his mouth and could never close it again.

His ten fingers slowly left the keyboard, and the lingering sound was still echoing. The little teapot stood up and greeted everyone with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I haven't played the song for a long time, and there are a few places that are unfamiliar."

Mrs. Roboting exclaimed excitedly:

"No! Dear, it's great. Really, this is the most beautiful piano piece I've ever heard. I didn't expect it... Dear Xiao, please forgive Betty for the joke he had just made to you? Look, Betty was also moved by you!"

Betty walked slowly, her pretty face turned red and her eyes were crystal clear. She pursed her red lips and smiled apologetically: "Xiao, what is the name of this song? Can you give me the score?"

The little teapot vaguely found a trace of the feeling on the stage back then, thinking that if you hadn't handed over a rich second-generation as your brother, how could you have the opportunity to learn piano with him? Later, in order to pick up girls, they formed a band together. Because they couldn't stand the ridicule of the keyboardist who was fascinated by a decadent temperament, they practiced hard for more than half a year to achieve what they are today. So what can you do if you are a foreign girl? Do you have the level of Richard Clayderman?

The little teapot didn't dare to joke about his future. He thought about it for a moment, so he said in a difficult way: "This song is called "Adelina by the Water". I also heard a pastor hummed it many years ago. At that time, I was still wandering on the street and often went to the church north of the Drum Tower to collect bread. If I listened too much, I would remember it."

"North of the city? The French Catholic Church?"

Roboting asked in surprise, as if he was recalling something again.

Betty pursed: "Impossible! Xiao, you are lying. If you have not received rigorous training since childhood, you can't play so well. And I don't believe that you can write such an excellent song just by listening to others chanting. This is undoubtedly a fantasy! Unless you are a genius, genius who surpasses Beethoven, Schubert and Chopard! But is this possible?"

Zhuang Sen also said seriously: "I agree with Betty's opinion very much. Xiao, you seem to have hidden a lot of things from us, so it's best to explain honestly."

The little teapot looked at this and that, and finally spread his hands helplessly: "What I said was the truth. If you don't believe it, who can tell me what the name of the song I just heard? Have you heard it before... No? That's right, I'm not a genius, nor have I received much music training. The one I have come into contact with the most recently is the Chinese four-string Qin Qin, who is not unfamiliar with guitars. One thing I need to say is that I have a good memory. As long as I think it's a good song, I can remember it once or twice. If you don't believe it, I'll do another song."

After saying that, the little teapot returned to the piano and played the "Sernery" that Betty had just played. Although the fingering was not as skillful as Betty, the musicality and rhythm were very good, which brought a different feeling to everyone, winning the sincere applause of the Roberting and his wife and Zhuang Sen.

The little teapot said a few politely and modestly, looked at the one-meter-5-meter-high floor clock beside the wall, and before everyone could speak, they said first:

"Betty, I promise you that I will give you the music score next time I come. It's almost nine o'clock in the evening. I must return to the car dealer as soon as possible and arrange my recent work. Tomorrow I have to go to Ya'an to inspect the strength of the two third-level agents there.

"Ya'an occupies a very important position in our work, because it is a transportation hub to the Kangzang area. If the work in Ya'an is done well, the vast market in the Kangzang area will be opened up."

Betty still didn't give up. Seeing this, Robbing came out to smooth things over, recognized the professionalism of the little teapot, understood the importance of his work, and then happily sent the little teapot out.

The little teapot left, and Robbing returned to the hall, shrugged at his wife and daughter who were looking at each other, coughed lightly, and said kindly:

"Dear, I know a miracle happened tonight, and I don't understand the reason, but since Xiao doesn't want to say it, it's hard for us to spy on other people's **...
Chapter completed!
