Chapter 161: Crisis Spread (3)

Madagascar, thousands of miles away from Goryeo, is a beautiful island that, like most of Africa, is sparsely populated. At the southern tip of the island, the site of a new gold company is bustling with activity, with local workers, white laborers and Chinese workers working together to build factories and dig ditches.

There are many blacks in Africa, and there are many whites. With the frenzy of carving up Africa, a large number of whites came to Africa to make a profit. What is more interesting is that some white people from European countries with heads and backgrounds went to colonies in African countries, and a considerable number of poorer white people went to China's East African administrative region and Madagascar province to seek a living.

It has nothing to do with patriotism, Chinese colonies in Africa are able to provide more jobs. The proportion of black uncles in Africa who can do the lowest jobs is not high, and Chinese do not like to go to Africa. Those who went to Africa just wanted to make a fortune in Africa and then return to their hometown to live a good life. So there is a batch of jobs that are slightly higher than the low-level jobs and lower than the middle-level and high-level jobs. The income from these jobs is higher than that of poor Europeans in their home countries. If you eat and live, the actual income is higher. It's not uncommon for white people to be on construction sites.

After a day of labor, the Italian boy Abandandu left the construction site. He has been working in Africa for three years, the first two years working at the docks in the East African region. After learning some of the most basic Chinese, he finally signed a contract with a Chinese company. After the contract was signed, the young man was sent to Madagascar to take on the job of a small foreman.

Italy is also an ancient civilization, and its folk customs are a bit similar to China's. Sicilians use whether a boy has a dependent parent as a sign of adulthood. Abandandu left himself only a small amount of money each month, most of which was remitted to his family in Sicily. Even at a 3% fee, Abandan insisted on sending the money to his parents back home. The Bank of China has set up a branch in Italy, and for several years his family in Sicily has been able to receive money every month.

In the latest letter, Abandandu's father tells his eldest son that his family has bought a few small plots of land from the two ancestral lands and now has a whole piece of land that is connected. Although the tax collector began to pay as much attention to his family as a fly that saw carrion, the elder Abandan Du swore that he would ensure that his land would not be violated.

In Sicily, you can barely live on a piece of land of your own. As the eldest son, Abandandu felt that he had an obligation to dedicate himself to the family. Land there is not expensive, as long as there are enough family members, they can protect the family's land. Because he had not read the book of the Chinese Emperor Wei Ze, Abandan Du did not know that this was a very traditional feudal small-scale peasant mentality. In Sicily, there are many families with enough male members to use weapons. With enough land, a family can thrive locally.

Young people are strong-blooded, and it is inevitable that men and women will be impulsive in their affairs. Abandan Du left the construction site with the intention of going to a somewhat strange place. This place offers some services, in addition to being aimed at people in a relationship, there is also a very strange requirement to look at the appearance of the guests. The girl's complexion is not dark, and the price is not expensive. But there are requirements for the appearance of the guests, which is too strange. But there is such a place, and Abandan Du really can't find a reason to complain. Not to mention that being recognized by others for your looks is not considered an insult.

However, this time the girl he gave him was different from the last two times, and Abandandu didn't think about it so much. Cool is his craving, and as a more traditional Sicilian. Such nonsense itself also has some inner guilt for Abandandu.

Xu Jincun, the owner of the service place, looked at the account book, and the recent business was not bad. It is not about the proceeds of services for men, but about the business of selling babies.

More than ten years ago, many women from European colonial countries in the South China Sea, as well as mixed-race women left behind by European colonizers, were brought to China to become wives for Chinese. Xu Jincun found that the babies born to Chinese men and these women were good-looking and very popular. With the development of industry, there is a huge demand for female babies in remote areas. The girl is considerate, if she looks good, she can also have a lot of benefits when she grows up and marries. The demand for female babies has increased dramatically.

But the world has changed, and girls were not worth much in the past, and many drowned after birth. Now the girls are valuable, but the state has severely cracked down on human trafficking, and if you catch it, you will be indefinite, and you will be killed. Xu Jincun didn't want to fall into such a situation, he found that it was not within the scope of the law to sell girls from foreign countries to China, so it became profitable to make mixed-race babies in Madagascar.

There are people who kill heads and buy and sell, and no one touches the buying and selling of losing money. Xu Jincun is a marginal area in this system, and he can make his business bigger because Xu Jincun is very sharp about grasping the gimmick of mixed blood. It's not hard to get women from the South China Sea, Japan, and Goryeo. Then find some handsome European males to breed, and the males born are sold to Africa to be slaves, and the girls are sold to China. The male baby in Africa sells cheaply, but it can also take care of the cost, and the female baby is a big profit. China likes a round face, but the high nose bridge has deep eye sockets and a sharp contour, which is also a beauty that is generally recognized in the north. There is no shortage of business with gimmicks, and there is also a profit from picking up customers, so the whole is not thinly profitable.

Thousands of dollars for a girl, when the buyer marries the baby, there are more than thousands of bride price. Not to mention that the girls can still make so many contributions to the family before they get married, and this benefit is by no means measurable by thousands of yuan. The only problem is that the scale of the industry is not large enough, Xu Jincun has already contacted the Portuguese on the other side of Madagascar, and he can start to operate on a large scale after it is confirmed. Now hundreds of babies can be expanded to a few thousand by then, and the annual income of nearly 10 million is optimistic.

But nothing is perfect, and the African continent across the street doesn't have to worry about legal issues. But Africa is so poor, and operating profits are relatively low. Therefore, Xu Jincun is considering a new profit model, which can be done in Madagascar when he is pregnant with a baby. Between conception and birth, you can open a farm in Madagascar and let those tools work on the farm. Proper exercise is good for physical health, and it is not uncommon for babies to be born in the fields for many years. What's more, Xu Jincun still follows the knowledge of science students taught in China, and tries to avoid stimulating and heavy physical exercise during the danger period.

When Boss Xu was carefully planning his own arrangements, someone came to contact. The liaison made a request for Boss Xu to find out how much China was producing for the shipment of rough gold. The liaison offered a reward that Boss Xu couldn't refuse, and things didn't look so dangerous. Boss Xu naturally had no reason to refuse.

It's easy to come up with a reason, Boss Xu not only has girls from the South China Sea, Japan, and Goryeo, but white girls are not scarce under Boss Xu. As long as they can make money, white people will never be soft when selling white girls. With such relatively novel goods, Boss Xu is not worried about not having high-end customers.

In addition to such adult girls as Boss Xu, some of the beauties he left behind have also grown into strange goods. It's just that this operation didn't have to use such blood.

Drinking with powerful local people in Madagascar always made Boss Xu feel very uncomfortable, and these young people from prominent backgrounds were full of complaints. What Boss Xu looks down on the most is these people, who eat the benefits of the country and enjoy the benefits of high-ranking officials. If Boss Xu can get mixed up like this, he will not have any other thoughts except for being grateful and working honestly. In an era when people can make a lot of money in the shady era of human trafficking, people from prominent backgrounds have a great hatred for the system. Let Boss Xu completely look down on these scumbags.

However, when the wine was hot, Boss Xu took advantage of the flattery in the early stage and said with a smile: "Brother, you are in charge of metallurgy, how can you have no money?" ”

The foreshadowing in front had an effect, and the boy took advantage of the strength of the wine to spit out bitterness, "Damn, you also laughed at me!" Although there are 20 grams of gold in a ton of ore, they can guard us like a thief. We can catch it if we want to...... Belch...... I can't get it. ”

Although he looked drunk, he actually drank a lot, and Boss Xu's heart was clear. One ton of twenty grams of gold, Boss Xu remembers this data clearly. He had already satisfied such information, but he didn't expect Brother Gongzi to be unrelenting, hugging the delicate half-naked white girl, Brother Gongzi continued extremely unhappily: "With millions of tons of ore a year, my salary can't drink this kind of wine a few times. What is this! This...... Calculate...... God...... Why! ”

As a businessman, Boss Xu couldn't help but quickly calculate in his mind that one million tons of ore, one million times twenty, is 20 million grams of gold. That's twenty tons of yellow scarves. And the current ore import is just the beginning, and there will only be more in the future. That is to say, there were 20 tons of gold a year in the early days, and it will increase tenfold and twenty-fold in the future.

In such a large sum of money, these boys must have made a lot of money, but they have to scold in such a situation. Boss Xu despised it even more in his heart.

The news sold at a good price, and Boss Xu also got other benefits. Some European businessmen were interested in selling fertility tools, still white. This made Boss Xu feel that he had made a lot of money.

Several pieces of information about China's gold revenues reached London, England, and after other information was compiled, it was finally handed over to the British upper echelons. The gold content of the Transvaal is now generally at the level of 10 to 20 grams a tonne.

Uncle Ma famously said, "God teaches to love your neighbor, and those who prefer to love the Tatars from afar in order not to love their own neighbors!" "The Boers of the Transvaal, who were also white, were far more wary of the British than they were of China, which controlled most of the gold mining rights, and judging by current intelligence, China could probably achieve 300 to 500 tons of gold a year in five years. This means that in ten years, China will be the center of the world's gold trade.

For such a future, the British upper echelons do not want to see it at all. Britain quickly made a decision to "seize as much of the Transvaal gold as possible, and to exclude China from gold mining as much as possible!" ”
