Sun Caixi personally sent his cousin Sun Caike to Chang'an to participate in the Appalachian coal mining team, first in Chang'an, and then to the Appalachian coal mine. The mining team is also composed of third-class people, the Chinese are the superior people, and the management work is all undertaken by the Chinese, and the Indians are second-class citizens, who are responsible for the direct management of the third-class people in the Americas.

The third-class people in the Americas were mainly composed of African black slaves, and immigrants from certain countries in Asia, such as Mughal countries, island countries, and a few countries in Southeast Asia that did not cooperate with China.

At present, there are more than 30,000 black slaves in Africa, and the first source is to rob Europeans, and later Ma Jin believes that if all the European merchants who trade black slaves are killed, there will be no more merchants to send black slaves to us.

Sun Caixi had already planned that after his flue-cured tobacco factory was put into operation, he would sell cigarettes to European merchants who came to the Americas to trade black slaves.

It was impossible for the merchants to return to Europe empty-shipped, they would have returned after they had bought goods in the Americas.

After Sun Caixi sent his younger brother to the place, he took his personal servant Monday to the military station to find An Yunfei, who was in charge of driving the carriage on Monday, and he had learned the skills of driving the carriage.

An Yunfei just went to Boston and came back, and when he saw Sun Caixi, he happily dragged him to Zuichun Building for a drink, and they arranged to eat in the hall on the first floor on Monday, and the two went to the second floor.

"Full, full." After the dishes were served, An Yunfei enthusiastically poured a full glass of wine for Sun Caixi, "Let's have a drink first!" ”

"!"

After the two of them happily drained the wine in the glass, An Yunfei filled it again.

"What did you do when you came to the city this time?"

An Yunfei picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

Sun Caixi said: "Send my cousin to the coal mining company, and by the way, come to Chang'an to purchase equipment for the flue-cured tobacco factory." ”

An Yunfei asked: "Your flue-cured tobacco factory has been approved?" ”

"It's approved, and now the factory is being built, and in the summer, my tobacco leaves can be sold."

Sun Caixi picked up a piece of crispy chicken and put it in his mouth.

An Yunfei asked again: "After the tobacco leaves come out, do you have a market?" ”

Sun Caixi said: "The sales are not a problem, the people of the Ministry of Commerce are responsible for buying from us and shipping them to Europe for sale, otherwise, how can the emperor encourage us to grow tobacco?" ”

An Yunfei said: "Actually, you don't have to go through the Ministry of Commerce, you can make a profit for them, it is better to negotiate directly with European businessmen, there are often black slave trafficking merchants in Chang'an, and they don't want to return empty." ”

Sun Caixi raised his glass: "Your idea is good, otherwise you will join a cadre unit and be responsible for external liaison." ”

An Yunfei also raised his glass: "I'm different from you, as an official of the government, you can't do business, just forget about the matter of joining the stocks, I will definitely help you pay attention to your affairs." ”

Sun Caixi said: "Admiration! Admire! Dry! ”

"!"

After a glass of wine, An Yunfei asked again: "Have you purchased all the equipment?" ”

Sun Caixi said: "I just sent my cousin over, so I came to you, and I am going to go to the equipment in the afternoon to have a look." ”

……

Coming out of the Zuichun Building, Sun Caixi led Monday to Chang'an City Hall, and came to the gate of the city hall, but was stopped on Monday, and only Chinese people were allowed to enter the city hall, and other miscellaneous people had to wait on the side.

Sun Caixi saw that there was a small courtyard next to the city hall for idle people to rest, he led Monday to the gate of this courtyard, and after checking his identity, Sun Caixi sent Monday into the courtyard, and there were already several Indians in the courtyard, and Monday happily went over with them.

Sun Caixi returned to the gate of the city hall, and after verifying his identity, he entered the city hall. He went up to the second floor, came to the equipment department of Chang'an City, and took out the approval document of the flue-cured tobacco factory to show the people in the equipment department, and he was taken to the equipment management department of the equipment department.

The head of the equipment management section is a big fat man, and after reading Sun Caixi's approval, he asked, "Are you going to pull the equipment back today?" ”

"Is it okay today?" Sun Caixi asked.

The fat section chief nodded and said, "Of course, you can complete the formalities, and you will be able to pull the equipment immediately." ”

Sun Caixi said: "I'm here to go through the formalities now." ”

The fat section chief took out a contract and handed it to Sun Caixi, you take a look at this contract first, you can sign your name on it if you have no objection, and you can pick up the goods after signing. ”

Sun Caixi took the contract and looked at it, he had already read the contract, and now he was officially going to sign the contract, he carefully read it again, the content is the payment for the purchase of equipment, the terms are very loose for Party B, after taking away the equipment, you can pay directly, of course, if you pay directly, you don't need to sign such a contract, you can also pay in installments, you can also pay a part first, and the remaining part will be repaid after a few years, and the contract stipulates the interest and repayment time.

Sun Caixi's family didn't have much money when they came to the Americas, so he chose to pay in installments.

Seeing that Sun Caixi was about to sign, the fat section chief asked, "Have you seen the specific details?" ”

"I've seen it."

"You don't dispute the deadline for payment, do you?" The fat section chief asked again.

Sun Caixi looked a little impatient and said, "I can see clearly, pay all the money within three years." ”

The fat section chief also noticed Sun Caixi's impatience, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my questioning is a necessary procedure, and if there is no objection, you can sign it." ”

The contract was in duplicate, and after signing, a smile appeared on the fat section chief's serious face: "Director Sun, you can go and get your equipment now." ”

Sun Cai thanked the fat section chief, went out of the city hall, called Monday, and went to pick up the equipment he needed.

The equipment at the equipment department was stored in a large warehouse at Chang'an Wharf, and Sun Caixi got into his own carriage and came to the wharf warehouse.

There was a long queue of horse-drawn carriages loading goods on the dock, and Sun Caixi asked Monday to queue up, and he himself squeezed forward to go through the formalities of picking up the goods.

The management on the wharf is very strict, after the warehouse director reads the procedures, he also wants Sun Caixi to register the number of people who come to pick up the goods and the time to enter the warehouse, after the formalities are completed, the carriage can rush to the warehouse gate, waiting for loading, loading is not to do it yourself, there are porters on the wharf.

After the goods were loaded, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather was not beautiful at this time, and it was raining lightly, but fortunately, the equipment brought was not very heavy, and Sun Caixi asked Monday to hurry up and drive the carriage back to the manor.
