Finally, it was Smith's turn to stand up and quote: "Mr. Wu, I'm Smith from the United States, and I just came to Guangzhou from Shanghi and came here after being introduced by Pastor Bojia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"My offer is 140,000 taels of silver for 50,000 horses of ordinary foreign cloth, 7,000 taels for 2 new cotton gins, 115,000 taels for 3 steam ring spinning machines, and 50,000 taels for 2 steam-powered looms. A total of 312,000 taels of silver. All goods can arrive within 10 months, and responsible for machine installation and commissioning; The cloth will arrive within 2 months. ”

Hush! Smith's offer shocked many people at once, this price is already very low, and if the price is reduced again, there will be little profit. As a result, the foreigners who had not yet made an offer in the back all put down their raised hands and glared at Smith fiercely, eager to tear him alive.

Wu Chongyao recorded the American's offer. Obviously, this Smith is aiming at the subsidy policy in the secret agreement between Nanyang and the United States. The agreement stipulates that for equipment, machinery, and weapons goods, Nanyang Company will subsidize 10% of the selling price to suppliers. This is also a policy specially formulated by Shengwang in order to encourage foreigners to bring high-value advanced equipment for sale.

The point is, he said that the most important point mentioned by the Holy King is the installation and commissioning of the equipment.

Wu Chongyao asked the foreigners to take a rest, and then came to the inner room with the Holy King Feng Yunshan, and asked Feng Yunshan to choose the winning bidder.

Looking at the various offers, there is no doubt that the last Smith is a veteran of business. Referring to the quotations of other foreigners, Feng Yunshan estimated that Smith's offer had almost reached the limit.

However, he is an American, and according to the agreement between himself and Bo Jia, 172,000 taels of machinery and equipment can receive a 10% subsidy, that is, 17,200 taels, which adds up to nearly 330,000 taels. It is five thousand taels higher than Bao Shunxing's offer.

But Feng Yunshan still decided to choose Smith. Mainly because he said that it will arrive within 10 months, and he can also be responsible for the installation and commissioning of machinery and equipment, which alone can be a great advantage. In addition, Feng Yunshan also wanted to create a sensational effect and buy horse bones with a lot of money, so that more Americans and foreigners could sell more advanced machinery and equipment, especially weapons production equipment.

After a stick of incense, Wu Chongyao came out of the inner room and announced that the first purchase order was won by the American Smith.

Everyone looked calm, knowing that this was the result, and quietly waited for the second order.

Sure enough, Wu Chongyao soon announced the second order: "The second order is that Nanyang Company is preparing to set up a machine factory, with a total investment of no more than 500,000 taels of silver." The bidder helps Nanyang Company to purchase the corresponding equipment, build a plant, put it into production, and finally convert it into cash as a reward according to a percentage of the total investment, which can also be converted into 10% of the shares, but Nanyang Company has the right to recover no more than 100,000 taels of cash within 5 years. ”

"The two parties signed the contract. Machinery and equipment, the requirements are advanced equipment in machining. For example, large steam engines, stamping machine tools, gantry planers, horizontal milling machines, forging machine tools, gear hobbing machines, cylinder boring machines, steam hammers and other equipment require a quality assurance period of more than five years. ”

"Pay 30% commission first, and after the final machine factory is completed and put into operation, it is required to have the same function as the large European machine factory. At that time, experts from various countries will be invited to carry out acceptance, and the remaining 7% commission will be paid after reaching the standard. ”

As soon as Wu Chongyao finished speaking, the foreigners underground were stunned. What kind of equipment procurement is this, this is clearly looking for a factory agent.

Foreign companies that are not familiar with the machine naturally dare not ask. After all, most of the foreign companies still sell foreign cloth, medicine (mainly opium), grain and craft daily necessities, and there are relatively few that sell this kind of simple mechanical processing equipment and machinery.

Just when Wu Chongyao thought he was going to be cold, the Englishman George raised his hand: "Mr. Wu, I don't have time to help set up a machine factory, but I can help you find someone in this area." However, how much do I ask for my remuneration in addition to the commission paid to the agent? ”

These foreigners are all open-minded when they see money, Wu Chongyao has dealt with them a lot earlier, and he knows their details early. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. George, if the agent can successfully complete the task, then his remuneration will be fifty thousand taels of silver, and you, as an intermediary, can get one-tenth of him, that is, five thousand taels of silver." ”

"Deal! I have a friend who has managed two machine factories in London and is very familiar with the establishment of factories and all kinds of machines, so I told him that I am sure he will be very interested! George readily agreed.

The third order is grain, 10 million catties of flour and 5 million catties of rice. Feng Yunshan confessed that he should purchase more flour and keep it well, so as not to worry about spoilage.

As soon as this order was reported, the scene in the hall exploded. The foreigners were excited to make a splash!

This Nanyang company is also too rich. Buying so much grain alone is almost enough to feed 100,000 people for a year. If this order is won, the profit will be too great!

Suddenly, before Wu Chongyao could speak, the foreigners in the hall had already raised their hands, held their mouths, and shook them.

Even foreign companies that only sell cloth are involved, they have no food, but as long as they go to the United States and India, there is a lot of food, and they can buy good luck casually, and it will be a lot of silver.

There were too many foreigners who raised their hands to participate in the bidding, and Wu Chongyao was helpless, so he directly asked them to quote one by one according to the number of seats.

"Mr. Wu, we are able to provide these grains in 5 to 6 months, and they are all new grains this year. In terms of price, it is shipped to Guangzhou Wharf, 100 catties of flour is 3.8 silver dollars, and 100 catties of rice is 3.2 silver yuan. A total of 540,000 silver dollars, converted into silver, is 378,000 taels. The foreigner of Baoshun Foreign Company sat at the front, and after a little calculation on the account book, he was the first to quote a price that he thought was reasonable.

Wu Chongyao hurriedly wrote down the words "Bao Shunxing, 378,000 taels" in the third order position on the ledger.

"The Swedish bank was able to provide the grain within six months, and the price was 360,000 taels of silver." As soon as the foreigners from Sweden shouted, Baoshun smiled bitterly and looked at Sweden with resentment.

"The Bank of America can provide these grains within 10 months, and the quotation is 340,000 taels of silver." Now, it's Sweden's turn to be dumbfounded. However, I don't know if Nanyang is price-oriented or time-oriented?

"I, George, an Englishman, can provide these grains within 5 months, and the quotation is 340,000 taels of silver!" This George came to insert a rod again, he was British, and he had a backstage, but he could collect grain in India nearby and transport it to Guangzhou, which had a great advantage in terms of time and transportation costs.

"Mr. Wu, in order to show support for the new opening of Nanyang Company, Bao Shunxing decided to revise the quotation to 320,000 taels of silver! Please also consider us! "The foreigner of Bao Shunxing was in a hurry and re-quoted.

"Against! Mr. Wu! Bao Shunxing has already been quoted, how can he quote again? George yelled, expressing his displeasure.

"Excuse me, Mr. George! We do not stipulate that bidders cannot bid repeatedly, so Bao Shunxing can quote again. In the same way, Mr. George, you can quote again! Wu Chongyao replied with a smile.

He was happy in his heart, it was best for these foreigners to eat dogs, and reduce the price as low as possible! I don't know how the Holy King came up with this bidding idea, which can make foreigners openly grab business.

However, he also realized that if the foreigners colluded in advance, there might not be such an effect.

"You!" George looked depressed, "Okay, I'll requote it to 310,000 taels!" ”

"300,000 taels!" The middle-aged foreigner who was walking in Bao Shun looked arrogant and shouted at George with a fighting spirit.

"280,000 taels!" George has been provoked to anger! He forgot that the price of 280,000 taels, in fact, once the price of grain in India rises slightly, it is very likely that he will have to work in vain, or even lose money.

"Forget it, if you want it so much, I'll give it to you!" Bao Shunxing closed his mouth and no longer quoted.

Wu Chongyao saw that there was no other offer, so he hurriedly took out an agreement and struck while the iron was hot for George to sign the third grain bidding agreement.

George, who reacted, was even more depressed: he came to make money by doing business, why couldn't he hold his breath and fight with others?

Looking at Wu Chongyao who came up again, he secretly thought: I haven't seen you so active in the previous two agreements?
