There are no impermeable walls in the world!

Almost on the same day that the Pacific entered port, the news spread that the Pacific had returned to Shanghai, and that it had brought with it a full shipload of nearly 2,000 quintals of raw silk.

What does this mean?

What was the first reaction of the foreign banks in Shanghai, that is, the price of silk fell by nearly one percent, which is naturally not a good thing for the Pacific, but it is acceptable. But for some, this fact cannot be accepted.

"How so?"

Originally, he had already calculated everything, just waiting for his "nephew" to lose the last bit of his belongings this time, and then be a villain, and take down that piece of land with new debts and old debts, which can be regarded as a lesson for the old brother Zhu who passed away.

After all, this kid is too disrespectful!

But who would have thought that, as if God blessed, there was a disturbance in the mainland, not to mention the bandits, and as soon as the bandits came out, the foreign guns he coiled down from Thompson would naturally not worry about sales, and what was even more upsetting was the boat of raw silk, and how much was that boat of raw silk worth? He didn't care how much money he could make, he cared about the warehouse in the realm that he had long regarded as a thing.

Just when he was in a hurry, Liu Tao, who had been with him for many years, walked in and wiped his sweat and said.

"Master, there's news!"

Seven years ago, Liu Tao, who was only fifteen years old, followed Liang Wenzuo's side to learn English, and he has always been a teacher to him.

Liang Wenzuo immediately said urgently,

"What's the news, tell me quickly!"

"I got the news from Shanghai Customs that the Pacific did come back, bringing back 1864 bags of raw silk ......"

"Oops...... This, how good is this! ”

Just when Liang Wenzuo's exclamation just came out, Xu Zichuan shouted on the side, these two sounds, one is worried, the other is happy.

"Really? That's great! ”

"Brother, what are you?"

Liang Wenzuo looked at Xu Zichuan with some puzzlement, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Brother, this is a great thing, think about it, this is almost worth a million taels of raw silk, so many silk goods rushed, the price of silk should not be tight, and more importantly, ......"

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Xu Zichuan deliberately sold it, and it was not until Liang Wenzuo was a little impatient that he spoke.

"What if he can't sell this silk!"

"If you can't sell it...... When the time comes, unless he deals with it at a low price, when the time comes, he will lose money inside and out! ”

But as soon as these words came out, the smile on his face suddenly fell, and he asked:

"This seems unlikely, let's not accept it, someone will always accept it, this silk goods have always been in demand, especially now that what silkworm plague has not spread to Italy, it is estimated that the price of silk here may have risen again?"

Businessmen have always been profit-seeking, Liang Wenzuo believes that when he goes to persuade those people not to buy silk now, they will agree to come down, and when that kid lowers the price of silk, they will naturally flock to it, and the trend of profit is the trend!

"We who are in business, who still has a hot hand? When the time comes, as soon as the price of silk drops, who will miss this opportunity! ”

"We can't, but some people can!"

Shaking his head again and again, Xu Zichuan sneered:

"Don't forget, those foreign devils have long wanted to manipulate the price of silk, this time it is a small two thousand quintals of raw silk, there is such a batch of raw silk rush, the price of this silk will definitely fall, if those foreign devils want to manipulate the price of silk this year, this is a good opportunity!"

Xu Zichuan's words fell on Liu Tao's ears and only made his heart tremble, he simply couldn't believe his ears, didn't he know that this price was related to the livelihood of more than one million people in Jiangnan? They actually want to work with foreign devils to bring down the price of silk, just for their own benefit!

Liu Tao, who realized how many people they were talking about would harm him, only felt a sadness in his heart, and he seemed to see that when the spring cocoon came down this year, the people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places were full of sadness. As in the past, whether it was Liang Wenzuo or Xu Zichuan, they didn't see Liu Tao's strange appearance in their eyes, as if he was air.

"Hmm...... This, this is an opportunity! ”

Liang Wenzuo did not object, he first thought for a moment, and then said:

"But this matter is probably a bit difficult to do! After all, those foreign devils don't treat us very well, let alone ......"

"We can't convince those foreign devils, but don't forget, someone is now looking for a way to clean up that kid, if Thompson comes forward to do this, those foreign businessmen will understand the stakes, how can they miss such an opportunity? In this world, who thinks that the silver is hot! ”

No one will feel that the silver is hot, Xu Zichuan's words made Liang Wenzuo think for a moment in his heart, and clapped his hands vigorously!

"Cheng, I think this thing can be done, if that kid's raw silk can't be sold, the price of silk will be pressed down, not to mention the warehouse, even from this silk price, we can also earn a sum this year! However, "

Looking at Xu Zichuan, Liang Wenzuo said what he was worried about.

"What if that kid transports the silk somewhere else?"

"Easy to do!"

Xu Zichuan groaned, his eyes narrowed.

"We don't know where his silk came from, but isn't it rumored that his silk came from Hubei and got it from the bandits in Shanghai? Although the matter in this concession, Shanghai Customs will not ask, and it can't ask, plus the ship is still a foreign ship, but don't forget, if there is no customs clearance documents from the Shanghai Customs, he will not be able to get out of this ship! ”

Xu Zichuan's words made Liang Wenzuo's eyes light up, and he immediately understood his intentions.

"Okay, I think this is what we have to do, but we have to deal with Lord Wu now, if it's too late......"

Xu Zichuan nodded.

"Without further ado, this matter has to be done in a hurry, I still have to meet Thompson, his five or six hundred thousand taels of things, not even two hundred thousand taels, that guy, maybe thinking about how to get revenge on that kid!"

"Cheng, then I'll go to Lord Wu to do this now."

Looking at the time, Liang Wenzuo was a little in a hurry.

That night, Su Song Taidao Wu Jianzhang was sitting in plain clothes in the flower hall in Fuzhong, and Liang Wenzuo kowtowed to him as soon as he entered the door.

Wu Jianzhang gave way.

"Get up, you are not an outsider. Come on, show Mr. Liang! ”

Because the two of them are Cantonese, they often come and go, and after being polite, Liang Wenzuo stood up.

"My lord, Pei An asked the villain to say hello to the adults on his behalf, I can't leave the things in this foreign bank, if not, he will definitely come to greet you in person."

Wu Jianzhang smiled faintly.

"The food in this foreign bank is not delicious! Those foreign devils are difficult to serve, how about it, has this deal been done recently? ”

Liang Wenzuo hurriedly agreed:

"Thanks to the Lord, the business in this concession is okay."

Wu Jianzhang raised a little finger and took a sip of tea.

"Lao Liang, I know that you are going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, we are all acquaintances, if there is anything, you can just say it."

Liang Wenzuo hurriedly said:

"Adult, the villain just said it directly, I don't know if the adult knows a news......"

Wu Jianzhang looked at him, and asked in a long tone at the moment:

"What's the news?"

Liang Wenzuo moved the chair forward with a look of observance.

"Recently, there was news that Wuchang was besieged by bandits, I wonder if the adults know about it?"

Wu Jianzhang smiled slightly, stood up and said indifferently.

"Oh, you ask about it, I've heard the news. Well, this is true, but it's just a disease of scabies, and the imperial court has now dispatched troops to join in the suppression, and when the soldiers arrive, those bandits will naturally collapse! Lao Liang, you don't have to worry about this, after all, Wuchang is still more than a thousand miles away from Shanghai! ”

"Worried? My lord, there are adults in the court, and there are other adults who are in charge of state affairs, and the villain is a businessman who is worried about something! But ......"

After a pause, Liang Wenzuo took the opportunity to observe Wu Jianzhang's face.

"The villain heard in the concession that someone bought a lot of foreign guns and cannons from the foreigners and sold them to the bandits in Wuchang.

"Oh!"

Wu Jianzhang's eyes widened slightly, and then he snorted again.

"These foreign devils are really bold, can it be that they really deceive me!"

"Your Excellency,"

Looking at the angry look on the adult's face, Liang Wenzuo hurriedly made up for it when he heard this.

"Why, the adults still don't know about this? That person is not a foreign devil, that is, a small businessman in Shanghai County? I don't know if you know, Zhu Yifeng in the west of the city, he transported a large number of foreign guns and cannons to Wuchang this time, in exchange for a boatload of raw silk, and now those silk goods are stored in the warehouse in the British Concession. ”

"Well, it's Zhu Yifeng who came back from the dead? This person is too bold to dare to collude with bandits, isn't he afraid of the laws of the imperial court......"

first put on an official show, and then Wu Jianzhang fought again and said in an official tone:

"This matter involves foreigners, and this goods are in the concession, so it is not easy for the official to interfere......"

Hearing him say this, Liang Wenzuo couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly said softly:

"My lord, the villain heard that the man is also going to transport another batch of guns to Wuchang, my lord, this is a matter of the imperial court's plan to suppress bandits!"

Wu Jianzhang nodded, and at the same time looked at Liang Wenzuo and said.

"Well, that's the case, but, Lao Liang, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid you're going to remember the little property in the concession!"

The voice continued, ignoring the embarrassed look on Liang Wenzuo's face, Wu Jianzhang continued.

"Well, don't ask him where the thing came from, I'll help you, but if it is done, the Zhu family's shop in the concession will be temporarily managed by this official! Butler, send-off! ”

The butler walked in and stretched out his hand to the door.

"Mr. Liang, please."

"Hey, hey."

Liang Wenzuo, who was forcibly dug off a piece of meat, sighed in his heart that the hearts of these old men were black, and left with him embarrassedly.
