C9 The Deal Was Completed
On the 27th of May, the traveling businessmen gave the deposit to Lin Chen. It should have been faster, but since Lin Chen wanted cash, they needed to raise it.
That night, at the designated place, Lin Chen delivered the goods. The rest of the goods would be paid according to the situation of the goods.
At night, Lin Chen followed a team of thousands of porters and coolies, along with Yi Shaan's advisor and a few merchants to the dock.
"Young Master Lin, didn't you say you were going to deliver the goods here? Why is there no one here?" When they arrived at the place and saw that there was no one at the dock, the expression of Yi Shaan's advisor turned ugly.
"Don't worry, grandmaster." Lin Chen smiled and said to Zhaocai, "Ask them to bring the goods over."
"Yes, Master." Zhaocai nodded and took out his communication device. "They are here. Send the goods over."
In fact, he was putting on an act. He had his own communication device that could communicate with the treasure at any time.
As soon as Zhaocai finished speaking, a few lights suddenly flashed on the dark sea surface, lighting up the dock as bright as day. The people on the shore had never seen such a scene before. Some were lying on the ground, some turned around, and some covered their eyes.
"Everyone, don't panic. This is the light on my boat. You'll be fine once you get used to it." Lin Chen blocked the light with his hand as he spoke. At the same time, he kicked Zhaocai.
Zhaocai smiled awkwardly. He quickly told Jinbao to turn the light down a little.
The light dimmed a little, but he did not say that, which made everyone feel better.
The grandmaster could not help but look at the surface of the sea. He wanted to see what ship's lights were so bright. In the end, he saw a few ships that he had never seen docked less than a hundred feet away from them. There were more than a dozen cannons in front of each ship. They were one to two feet long.
Wu Bingjian was also looking at the ships on the sea. He suddenly remembered that the ship Lin Chen had shown him two days ago was not as big as this ship.
This was natural. Lin Chen had shown him cruisers. These cruisers had a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.
A rumbling sound came from the sea. The transport ships that had already loaded all kinds of cannons and other materials were heading towards the shore.
At first, those ships weren't big, but when they got closer, they realized that they were actually a few people tall. They were completely different from the current wooden ships.
The boat fell into the dock, and the rear fender was lowered. Dozens of soldiers with guns came out.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is also because we are afraid of any accidents. Mr. Wu, let them move the supplies." Lin Chen looked at the cowering peasants and said to Wu Bingjian.
Wu Bingjian nodded and asked his butler to bring the supplies with him.
"Boxes of bullets, 1500 rounds per box, 50 rounds per box. Inside the boxes are 10 guns, and the cannons are on the other boats." Lin Chen said to Wu Bingjian.
Wu Bingjian nodded. In fact, he had already told his men about this.
"Young Master Lin, Grandmaster Soong, let's go over there and have some tea." Wu Bingjian said to Grandmaster Soong with a smile.
Grandmaster Soong nodded and the three of them walked towards a teahouse not far away.
This dock was originally bustling, but after the British came, it was basically abandoned. There were also many goods piled up in the warehouse. This was also the reason why Lin Chen agreed to exchange materials for weapons.
Boxes of weapons were carried out. The robots on Lin Chen's spaceship were also tapping on the materials that Wu Bingjian and the others had brought over.
They worked until three o'clock at night. As the last cannon was pulled away by the horses, the deal was basically completed.
"Mr. Wu, this is one of my attendants. Let him stay here. If you need anything, you can tell him. I have been out for a few days. I will go back and pay the bill first." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Young Master Lin, didn't you say you were in charge of training?" Grandmaster Soong asked when he heard Lin Chen say he was leaving.
"Don't worry, Grandmaster Soong. I knew all of these soldiers would stay with him. They will help you train how to use guns and cannons," Lin Chen said. Lin Chen pointed at the soldiers around him.
"I am relieved." Grandmaster Soong let out a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Chen had left hundreds of soldiers behind.
"Mr. Wu, Grandmaster Soong, we will meet again." Lin Chen cupped his hands at the two of them and walked onto the transport ship.
Seeing the transport ship leave, Wu Bingjian cupped his hands at Grandmaster Soong and said, "Please, Grandmaster Soong."
"I dare not, I dare not. Elder Wu, please!"
The old man declined and got into their chairs. They walked into the city under the escort of the soldiers.
The British did not notice what had happened that night. They did not take it to heart because they felt that the Qing army did not have any warships on the surface of the sea that could be used for battle. The place they came to Guangzhou was not small either. Only a portion of their ships had already gone up north, and they did not have that many troops to deploy.
Lin Chen and Zhaocai arrived on the transport ship. The ship sailed a few nautical miles away, and the ship that was originally hidden on the surface of the sea was revealed. A few large trays were stretched out from the ship, and the ships were carried onto the ship.
"Dad, we have money this time!" They had just arrived at the commander. The treasure entered the ship and ran over with a face full of excitement.
"How much money can we earn from this transaction?" This was what Lin Chen was most concerned about. These weapons were sold for 2.85 million taels. According to what Zhaocai said earlier, the commission was only five points. That's 142,500 taels.
If he were to calculate the silver price at 5 yuan per gram, he would be able to earn more than 20 million.
"Dad, don't worry. We'll know when all the supplies are uploaded." Jinbao said with a smile.
The company was indeed fast. Soon, the results were out. Some silk and porcelain were much more expensive than Lin Chen had imagined. After all, they were all handicrafts and were very popular in some places. As for the silver, it had shrunk quite a bit. The main thing was that these were not pure silver. However, Lin Chen had made about 30 million in total.
"Hahaha, I was rich indeed. 30 million is enough for me to spend my whole life." Lin Chen said happily.
"Young Master, it is too early for you to be happy. More than 30 million is not enough to buy energy. Fortunately, the company has support policy and allows payment in installments. " However, I suggest that you don't rush back. You should find a place to sell some firearms first. " Zhaocai advised Lin Chen.
By the way, dad, there is one more thing. I have set up a trading station here. In the future, even if other businessmen come, they will know that someone has developed this place. Also, the energy consumption will be reduced by half the next time they teleport here. " Jinbao suddenly said.
"Good job!" Jinbao, who had always been unreliable, was rarely reliable. Lin Chen was very happy. He picked her up and praised her as he walked.
"Young Master, wait for me. You haven't decided whether to stay here for a period of time or go back first!" Zhaocai quickly chased after him and asked.
"Do you still need to say it? Of course I will go back first." Lin Chen said with a smile.
