Gao Ying, who was talking to the young man, suddenly saw Qin Chuan approaching, and couldn't help but regret in his heart, he was on duty, but he left his master and ran to chat with outsiders, and he was immediately embarrassed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Qin! I...... ”

Qin Chuan didn't care, just looked at the young man in white, shouted Gao Ying's words and asked.

"Hanjie. This lad is。。。。。。 ”

"Lord Qin, this is my 。。。。。。"

Thinking that it was because of Qin Chuan's staring, the handsome young man's face turned slightly red, and then he took Gao Ying's words generously.

"Lord Qin, I am Gao Ying's cousin, Gao Miao, the word Zezhou."

Hearing that the young man was Gao Ying's cousin, Qin Chuan had more expectations for recruiting this young man, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, Gao Miao, Zezhou, good, good name, good word."

"Have you read? Can you read the newspaper? ”

Before Qin Chuan's words fell, the young man suddenly looked disdainful, and was about to speak, Gao Ying rushed to say with envy.

"Lord Qin, my 。。。。。。 The younger brother not only read books, but he studied for seven years in the church school run by the British in the concession, and not only could he read the newspaper, but he also wrote articles to this "Oriental Times". ”

Immediately afterwards, Gao Ying said with a look of annoyance: "It's a pity that my uncle wanted to pay for my tuition to study in that concession, but my father didn't want to 。。。。。。 ”

After studying in the church school for seven years, it should be the level of high school graduation in later generations, and he can also contribute to the "Oriental Times", which shows that this young man is different from ordinary readers, Qin Chuan became more and more interested, and was about to invite Gao Miao to join the school he was preparing to open, and Jin Lisan behind him interjected.

"Are you from the Yide Yugao family?"

Gao Miao smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Where is there any Yide Yu Gao family, more than ten years ago, the Gao family's house was poor and had to sell the Gao family's ancestral property, and our two families are not only collateral of the Gao family, but also concubines, and they were driven out of the Gao family early." ”

Among the eight families in Jinmen, there are four families that made a fortune through salt affairs, namely the Zhende Huang family, the Changyuan Yang family, the Yizhao Lin Zhang family, and the Yide Yugao family. Because the Gao family is very single, only engaged in salt business, and does not think about it, it is the oldest in the TJ salt merchants, and it is a veritable boss in the TJ Wei salt merchants. Because the Gao family is rich and the children and grandchildren live luxuriously, every master in the family is like a cloud, and every time they travel, they hug each other, and the pomp is very, just like TJ Wei's Dream of Red Mansions.

If it's just luxury, it's just that, but the Gao family doesn't know where they started, and they got good at "releasing life". The Gao family has a special person in charge, and even spends a lot of manpower and financial resources to go to the provinces to buy strange creatures at a high price, and then let the good owner release them, which is for fun. Sometimes when an animal is to be released, it will take dozens of people to walk thousands of miles.

In order to show that they are rich people and win a good reputation for scattering wealth and charity, not only the Gao family celebrates the New Year, let the poor celebrate the festival, the Gao family celebrates their birthday, and the poor do not have to be hungry. Even suddenly, on that day, several Gao family masters made a bet, who won, and as soon as they were happy, they posted a notice, saying that one day the Gao family was going to give alms. On that day, the man will stand on the high steps and throw money at the people who have been waiting for him for a long time. For those who come to ask for help, the high price is never stingy, and they respond to every request, sometimes they have to receive more than a dozen dials a day. In this way, the descendants of the Gao family have already lost their business to the fullest, and in the early years of Guangxu, they had to start selling their ancestral property, and those who were poor more than ten years ago had to split up.

It's just that Qin Chuan is not interested in whether this Gao Miao is a descendant of the Yide Yugao family, he is only interested in how to recruit this young man.

"Zezhou, what are the aspects of your contributions to the Oriental Times?"

Gao Miao replied indifferently: "It's nothing, I stole those manuscripts, there are the history of Western powers, Western folk customs, Western myths and legends, and some superficial knowledge about Gewu astronomy." ”

Gewu is physics, and people who understand the knowledge of physics and astronomy are rare talents at this time.

Qin Chuan said to Gao Miao eagerly: "Zezhou, I am about to set up a senior high school with a university and a primary and secondary school here, and now there is a shortage of teachers, can you just go to this senior high school to teach first?" Preferential treatment. ”

Hearing that he was invited to be a teacher, Gao Miao was overjoyed at first, and then his face couldn't help but darken, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't speak.

Gao Miao didn't speak, but Gao Ying's face on the side suddenly became anxious, and he shirked for Gao Miao again and again.

"Lord Qin, this is not appropriate。。。。。。 My uncle can't do business without me。。。。。。 Junior. ”

Seeing that Gao Miao just lowered his head and didn't speak, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, nodded and turned around to leave.

Gao Miao, who had been bowing her head and not saying a word, suddenly said, "Lord Qin。。。。。。 ”

Seeing Qin Chuan turn around, Gao Miao couldn't help but stop talking, and it took a long time before he said to Gao Ying with a red face.

"Father's entrustment。。。。。。 Things, you。。。。。。 ”

Gao Ying, who looked panicked, glanced at Qin Chuan, hesitated for a long time before whispering to Qin Chuan.

"Lord Qin, my uncle opened a small money village in the city, and he heard from an acquaintance in the Yamen of the Imperial Envoy that our Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar is in good condition and exquisite in workmanship, so he asked me about it, and it just so happened that you gave each of us these guards ten Vermilion Bird Silver Dollars that day, and I gave my uncle one. I didn't want my uncle to see it, thinking that our silver dollar was far better than Eagle Ocean, and today I heard that the people who came to East Street to see the excitement would get a Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, so my uncle and my cousin set up a stall at the entrance of East Street, and bought it from the people who got the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar at the price of each Eagle Ocean plus five copper plates. However, many of the people who received the silver dollars today were not willing to exchange them immediately, and my uncle only bought a small number of Suzaku silver dollars. Then he sent my cousin to look for me, asking me to ask if I could exchange some from our bank. ”

Compared with the Yingyang, the weight of the Suzaku silver dollar is about the same, but the silver content is three percent higher.

Listening to Gao Ying's words, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked Gao Miao.

"Your father is now planning to exchange the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, so he is bullish on the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar?"

Gao Miao nodded proudly: "That's natural, my father's vision has always been very accurate." ”

Referring to Gao Miao's father, Gao Ying also said proudly: "Lord Qin, listen to my father, when the family was divided, the two brothers only got a small amount of land, that is, my family's current field, and there is no problem with their brothers' food and clothing, but they can't save some silver, so my uncle mortgaged the land in his name to raise ten taels of silver to run some small business, but over the years, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been earned." ”

With ten taels of silver to start a business, he earned more than 100,000 yuan, this Gao Miao's father is worthy of being a descendant of the Gao family, it is indeed unusual, and even better than the blue, Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

In fact, in order to let the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar circulate as soon as possible, Qin Chuan and Jin Lisan had a plan, one was to work hard to make the silver dollar exquisite, and the other was to ensure the fineness. There is another one, that is, to consciously and gradually raise the price of Suzaku and Eagle Ocean. Because of this, in addition to buying Aurora products in bulk and in wholesale, they must be replaced with voucher rolls, Qin Chuan also asked Li Mingfang to arrange for the establishment of three retail stores in Dongjie, Concession and TJ City, specializing in selling various products of the Aurora Company, including colored cloth, and there is a special rule, that is, only Suzaku silver dollars and vouchers issued by Aurora Bank will be accepted.

According to Jin Lisan's estimates, the actual price of the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar should have reached the level of exchanging a Suzaku Silver Dollar for a Yingyang and 500 copper plates.

You must know that since the early years of Daoguang, the price of silver has risen sharply, when one tael of silver could be exchanged for one copper coin, that is, one thousand Wen, and now, it has risen to the extent that it can be exchanged for two thousand five or six hundred Wen. The reason why this exchange comparison was not put in place in one step at the beginning, leaving a large amount of exposure, is to leave room for the price comparison to gradually become too high.

But the problem is that if you want to exchange the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, you can only go to the head office of Aurora Bank, and Jin Lisan is preparing to set up a few exchange points near those commercial banks, and then these exchange points, including the head office and branches in various places, will gradually raise the exchange price. Unexpectedly, now someone would think of one thing with them.

Qin Chuan, who was secretly happy in his heart, glanced at Jin Lisan, turned his head to Gao Miao and said, "Zezhou, how much does your father want to change?" ”

Gao Miao said: "In addition to the money released, the family can now take out about 100,000 yuan." ”

Qin Chuan said decisively to Gao Miao: "That's it." Go back and tell your father that he has brought as many eagles as he has, and I will exchange them for a one-to-one exchange for the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar and a portion of the gold scroll. ”

Qin Chuan's words made Gao Miao and Gao Ying both stunned, obviously the value of the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar was higher than that of Yingyang, so didn't it be obvious that they wanted to give money to others for nothing?

Looking at Gao Miao, who was stunned, Jin Lisan took over with a smile: "However, we have one condition, that is, we want your father to open a Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar and a Gold Roll Exchange Office in the concession and near the firm of our Aurora Company in the city, and ask for a Yingyang and ten copper plates to exchange for a Vermilion Bird or a dollar of gold scrolls, and after half a month, it will be changed to a Vermilion Bird or a gold roll for an Eagle Yang and twenty copper plates, and in the future, ten copper plates will be raised every half month, and our Aurora Bank will also increase the price synchronously like you." ”

Looking at Gao Miao, who was still a little stunned, Qin Chuan smiled lightly: "Zezhou, go back and tell your father that he can still do money business when he opens this exchange point, but the money released must be Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, and the comparison price with Yingyang is also the same as the exchange price, I don't give him any salary, but the Yingyang he takes back can be taken to Aurora Bank to find a gold manager, and he will exchange it for your father Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar at a price of one to one." ”

Seeing that Gao Miao was still stunned, Qin Chuan, who was a little excited, smiled and said to Gao Miao: "Zezhou, remember what I and Manager Jin said, go back and tell your father, if he wants, open the exchange point quickly." ”

"Oh, also, I want to invite you to teach at our Aurora Senior High School, you also think about it, the monthly salary is 100 Vermilion Bird Silver Dollars, and if you perform well, you can add more."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he took Jin Lisan and Rong Yaoyuan to the gate of the dyeing factory with satisfaction.
