C61 Big Gamble

As High Scholar Huang took domestic servant around to give him presents, Xiao Letian was happily leading underhand to prepare for the opening ceremony tomorrow. Oceanic used clean water to clean everything inside and out. He did it three times with the yellow soil around the door, it was firm and smooth. The key was that it covered up the stench from yesterday.

Oceanic's opening would definitely require invitation cards. Tanggu's three hundred Oceanic s and the Black and White Society's Friends would all need to have an invitation card delivered to them. The other party would not come personally, but this etiquette could not be wasted, otherwise it would be troublesome.

There were many things to do at the opening of the restaurant, the Coastal building had to take care of the area, so the seats had to be prepared in advance, and tens of thousands of shots of firecrackers were ordered from Liu Yang, they had to be taken care of by someone, and there were even tea bowls for the guests, including the scattered copper coins to reward the beggars, they had to be prepared well, and not a single mistake could be made during a day of great celebration.

"Higher up on the left, hey, right..." "Useless trash, are you going to hang yourself or hang yourself …"

"Here, here, balance it out. Use more strength! I'll treat you guys to lunch and then ignore it …"

"What?" Let me write two invitations... "Do they recognize me when I write foreign characters? Go play while I write …"

Xiao Letian was obviously very excited today, running back and forth in his Rakuten. He did not help at all and instead caused a lot of trouble.

In his previous life, Xiao Letian never thought that he would one day be able to open a Company, let alone a transnational Company. In addition, the excitement from last night's massacre wasn't over yet. In the end, it was Fan Lian who forced Xiao Letian to go out and relax, and they finally got the troublemaker to leave.

Xiao Letian took Dragon Lord and two clever Buddy and wandered around Tanggu in boredom. One moment he was teaching Dragon Lord how to get to know the Flag of different countries, and another moment he was bargaining with Fishermen who sold seafood. He did not know that a group of people were secretly observing him from the second floor of a warehouse.

The one hiding behind the window was cow-keeper, who drank with Huang Juren. He was obviously the leader of this group of people, so everyone's eyes were focused on him without saying a word.

cow-keeper watched for a while, closed the window and told everyone in a low voice, "Everyone knows what happened last night, right? This Xiao Letian is not someone to be easily bullied. This is a Draconis. Xiao Biansun is completely screwed.

Tanggu cow-keeperson already knew about the fire in the High Scholar Huang's house today, and cow-keeperson also knew that it was very weird, but only the real adults knew the secret behind the fire. cow-keeper and the others were people who were qualified to know this secret. All of them had solemn expressions on their faces and were silent.

It was only after a long time that someone spoke up. "cow-keeper, logically speaking, we should not go back on our words when we discussed with Yellow Lord to deal with Xiao Letian, but last night's incident really …" "This really frightens me. In the end, we're just people like Trader. Is it really good to provoke someone like him?"

One of them opened his mouth and everyone agreed, but there were also voices of opposition, "Then what do we do?" He had already promised Huang Juren, yet now he was going back on his word? What can't he and Xiao Biansun do? When the time comes, don't vent all of your anger on us … "The sales have just started to improve, and I can't stop this from happening …"

"Then what do we do? The left side can't afford to offend him. The right side won't dare to offend him. In the end, we'll be the unlucky ones …"

cow-keeper saw everyone talking at once, he let out a long sigh and said, "Quiet down, complaining won't solve the problem. We are Trader, so I have a plan. Let's see if it's feasible..."

After saying that, cow-keeper drank a mouthful of tea and moistened his throat, "Usually, on the day the trading company opens its doors, they will arrange for one or two businesses to get a good reward. This is also a common practice." However, this Rakuten has a lot of fun, yesterday Fan Ru actually came to visit me, and wanted to buy some pig hair from me … "

Through cow-keeper's introduction, people found out that the Rakuten had actually accepted such a big deal, and the trade of the France's Merchant ships, the 'Lucky', had actually been won over by the Rakuten!

In the Tanggu, a Merchant ships had arrived just last month. It had brought the India's smoke and soil, as well as its Java spices, including the Europe's hot selling velvet, crystal lamps and other miscellaneous items. Only ten days ago did it completely empty out. Now is the time for big purchases.

Other than fixed tea leaves, silk, porcelain, there was another important item that the Merchant ships wanted to buy from the China this time, and that was pig hair.

The average person might not understand, how could pig hair become Ocean trade's important goods? But in the recent history of mankind, the trade in pig mane is really a very important commodity.

In the absence of the oil and chemical fiber industry, if humans wanted to make a brush, all they could do was choose animal hair. Most of the animal hair was too soft to make a brush. Only the pig's hair was an exception. Not only was it springy, but it was also easily mass-produced due to the animal hair on its body. This was why humans treated it as a very important commodity.

The housewives needed a bristle brush to clean the kitchen, the factory's worker needed a bristle brush to clean the machinery, and even the crew of the sea needed a bristle brush to clean the deck. At that time, the China was one of the largest countries in the world to produce pigs. There was no helping it, since pork had a market in the China.

As a result, ever since the Qing Dynasty closed, the Pig Mane Trade had always been a very profitable business, earning a lot of money.

This time, Lucky Captain had already said that as long as Chinese businessman had pig mane, he was willing to buy them at a high price of one kilogram of Mexico Eagle, no matter how high the price was. It didn't matter if the Lucky could not be stuffed anymore, he would rather hire a boat to bring them back.

This was a large Merchant ships with a cargo of at least 1000 tons. If it was filled with pig hair, this would be a huge business of a million silver dollar, not to mention that the Lucky had already said, there would be as many as there were. If this were to be counted, this business would definitely reach at least 1.4 million silver dollar, which meant that the number of silver that would be converted into Daqing would be exactly 1 million.

Such a large scale business almost made Trader and the others go crazy. Countless pig hair goods started to gather in the Tanggu, even the price of pig hair in Shanxi, Shandong and Henan started to rise. As for the price of the direct soul pet, it increased by 30%.

However, just as everyone was excitedly waiting for France's Trader to begin purchasing them, an unexpected piece of news came out. Three days ago, Lucky Captain suddenly opened his mouth, and handed over all the authority to entrust the Pig Mane Trade to the new Rakuten. In other words, everyone's pig bristles could only be sold to Xiao Letian, while French didn't accept any bulk goods.

cow-keeper let out a long sigh, "I just got the accurate information yesterday afternoon, Xiao Letian has a lot of face, for this business, he actually asked the USA Embassy for help, even if Americans stepped in, French would still have to give him face … "Ai, it's only now that I believe it, Zhou Tie really is like the sky …"

"Not only that, last night Fan Lian even sent someone to deliver a message to me, saying that he won't earn a single copper coin from this deal. He'll take one dollar and hand it over, just for the sake of his popularity …"

crowd exploded. This was unbelievable! A deal worth one million silver taels was wasted? Normally, if a merchant received such a deal, it would be enough for them to live for ten years. This Xiao Letian was actually so magnanimous!

Seeing everyone talking at once, cow-keeper knocked on the Table. "Quiet, quiet …" That's the plan I'm talking about. Tomorrow, we'll use this deal to boost Fan Lian's reputation. We'll give him a dollar a kilogram as a gift, and we'll buy as much as we can, but … "We have one condition, which is to settle our debt on the spot …"

After cow-keeper finished his sentence, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. This could be considered a conspiracy. Everyone present had at least 600 to 700 tons of pig hair piled up in dozens of large warehouses. If it was all converted into cash, wouldn't it be a gold mountain?

"Not only can't we owe them money, we don't even need banknotes and we'll see the Current silver. I don't believe that they will open their business with more than a million Current silver. "At that time, if he loses face in front of the foreigners, I want to see how he will do business in the future …"

How vicious, this scheme was truly vicious, in the Daqing Dynasty, when there was such a large transaction, both sides would allow a few days to go by, they did not say that they would settle it on the spot. At that time, there were no modern Bank, and the financial system was very poor. There were no transfers or cheques at all. The seller and buyer would definitely give each other time to gather the silver. One million silvers, that was 35 tons of Silver. How could such a large amount of wealth be placed in a newly opened trading company?

cow-keeper smiled, "We are serious businessmen, we don't do anything illegal, everything must be done according to the rules. If Xiao Letian did not have that much money, he would have quickly left the Tanggu with his tail between his legs and run a business with that bunch of Shanxi jealous people. "It's not as simple as he thinks …"

"What if he really took out the Current silver?" Someone asked carefully. These words made cow-keeper frown. He pondered for a long time and said, "If he really can take out that many Current silver s, then we should honestly lower our heads and give in. Tell me the truth …"

"But I still don't quite believe it, how many Hu Xueyan are there in Daqing? If he really could take out that much money, then he would be the famous Northern God of Fortune, at least as famous as Hu Xueyan … "If he really reaches that level, I'm afraid the end of High Scholar Huang and Xiao Biansun will come soon …"

Everyone's heart turned cold. If they really offended adults, who was as powerful as Hu Xueyan, how could they survive in the mall? It would be better to pack up their bags and go home to watch the kids.

"This is a gamble, this gamble is too fierce …"

It was not only cow-keeper and the rest who made the bet, even Xiao Biansun and High Scholar Huang were making a huge bet. Yellow Lord's face was full of smiles as he wandered around the prefectural city with the other yamen.

Xiao Biansun worked even harder, he brought a bunch of hoodlums and connected them with each other in the village. Old Wu, who had made a wish along with the benefits of tax exemption, was stunned for a moment.

"If you can't trust him, you won't be able to trust the Thousand Meddling Hands, right? You guys did it the last time, didn't you guys get away with it? "As long as you guys make it a little bigger this time, then there will be three more grain s to spare. After autumn, our family will have four more grain s …"

Old Wu looked left and right with excitement and greed in her eyes. "I'm done with it. Collect four more bags of rations and give me, Grandchild, a steamed bun for the new year …"
