In the living room on the second floor of the Qinchuan small western-style building in the dyeing factory, the black panther who had grown very majestic was lying at Qin Chuan's feet leaning on the sofa, and a pair of black eyes scanned every move of the people in the living room vigilantly.

While smoking a Chunyang brand cigarette with a filter, Qin Chuan watched Qin pour tea for Rong Yaoyuan, Jin Lisan, and Li Mingfang, Xu Xifang, Ye Xilai, Gao Lin, Ning Xingpu, Yang Shaonong and others who had just sat upstairs.

Because except for Li Mingfang, Glory Yuan and everyone are new acquaintances, and when the Qin family finished pouring tea for everyone and went downstairs, Qin Chuan leaned forward and began to introduce Glory Yuan and everyone. Glory Yuan also knew that these people were either Qin Chuan's business henchmen, or old friends, friends and business partners, Qin Chuan was able to introduce himself into this circle today, that was absolutely important to himself, so when Qin Chuan introduced him to everyone, Glory Yuan looked extremely respectful, and always stretched out his hand to shake hands with a few people first.

Jin Lisan, Xu Xifang and others also knew that Qin Chuan attached great importance to these young people in the past, and saw that this Glory Wall was about to become Qin Chuan's helper, although they were not used to the etiquette of shaking hands, but they also knew that this was the etiquette of foreigners, and several people were also very enthusiastic about Glory Wall, which made Glory Yuan's mood gradually relax.

When Ye Xilai was introduced, Rong Rongyuan smiled with admiration on his face: "Manager Ye is very eloquent, and the auction host is booming, and it is estimated that the prices of many lots are much higher than those of Neiding, right?" ”

Ye Xilai grinned, glanced at Qin Chuan with some smugness, and pointed at Gao Lin, Ning Xingpu, and Yang Shaonong.

"Mr. Rong won the award, it is not enough to rely on articulate alone, but today it is thanks to the great help of these three rich men of TJ Wei, without a few of them to raise the price, it is estimated that it will be a few million less."

When Rong Rongyuan saw that Qin Chuan had brought Gao Lin, Ning Xingpu, and Yang Shaonong over, he already knew in his heart that this was Qin Chuan's pre-arranged trust, so he only looked at the smiling eyes and nodded to the three of them again and again.

Ning Xingpu waved his hand disappreciatively and said, "A few of us will make a move, that is, to help the field, and this credit belongs to you Manager Ye." ”

Gao Lin also smiled and said in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "That is, if it weren't for Manager Ye, your good eloquence that can bring the dead to life, the white silver that flowed into Qin's pocket would definitely be much less." ”

Gao Lin's words reminded everyone of Ye Xilai's nonsense about blowing cigarettes, and they laughed together.

Yang Shaonong couldn't hold back a laugh and asked Ye Xilai: "You made up your two ballads?" ”

Ye Xilai shook his head with a smile and said, "Where is it making up, this is really true." ”

Hearing Ye Xi say that it was true, everyone, including Qin Chuan, was not interested again.

Ye Xilai took a sip of tea, moistened his somewhat dry throat and said: "I have been to Xiangxi and SX Luochuan to do business before, if these two songs were heard at that time, but the last sentence about the folk song about the Three Kingdoms, that is, the sentence that Cao Cao did not smoke in his life, was added by myself." ”

When Ye Xilai said this, Xu Xifang was a little surprised, and asked Ye Xilai suspiciously.

"Shaanxi and Gansu produce hookahs, I know this, I hear you say this, this tobacco is really from our China?"

"No, no."

Gao Lin said: "This tobacco came from the Americas and was brought back to Europe by the Spaniards. ”

Yang Shaonong also said: "This tobacco is from South America, spread to the West and then to our China, it should be that Matteo Ricci brought the tobacco to Beijing during the Wanli period and gave it to Emperor Wanli first, and GD was also introduced." The Ming Dynasty famous doctor Zhang Jiebin wrote the "Jingyue Quanshu", this thing has not been heard of since ancient times, all from the Wanli time from the Min Guang, since the Wu Chu are planted. ”

Ning Xingpu took a sip of tea and said happily to Yang Shaonong and Gao Lin: "No matter where this tobacco comes from, the most important thing is to make money for us now, you say yes." ”

Gao Lin and Yang Shaonong nodded and said with a smile: "What Xingpu said is, no matter where it comes from, it can make us money." ”

Qin Chuan twisted the cigarette in his hand that was about to finish smoking in a small porcelain plate on the coffee table that was used as an ashtray, nodded and said, "That's right, it's good to make money." It's just that our current output is still too small, and we must seize the time to expand production. ”

Knowing that Qin Chuan wanted to talk about business, several people turned their eyes to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan got up and walked to a chest of drawers placed by the window, opened the drawer, took out a stack of white paper full of handwriting, returned to his seat and sat down, and handed the stack of papers to Li Mingfang.

"Lao Li, this is the list of equipment needed for our factories to expand production, you go to William Xiao tomorrow and ask him to order it back from Germany as soon as possible."

Qin Chuan picked up the box of Pure Yang brand cigarettes that had been opened on the coffee table again, took out one and held it in his hand, and turned his gaze to Xu Xifang.

"Manager Xu, from now on, the equipment of all our factories must be fully activated, and on the basis of ensuring the number of goods we bid out, we will produce as many products as possible, except for a small number of products to be handed over to our own few commercial houses to sell, and the rest will be left to our shipping company."

Xu Xifang nodded, and then said to Qin Chuan with some embarrassment.

"The owner, it's nothing to work overtime to grab some more goods, the key is that in addition to many workers who are not skilled now, there is also a lack of manpower, and Yuntao and I really can't run away."

Qin Chuan has no good way to deal with the problem of worker proficiency, which can only rely on time to become proficient.

Qin Chuan lit the cigarette in his hand: "Those ** children who left today, all of them are talents, they will come back soon, I have appointed Pan Sichi to manage our factories, you will assist him, with Pan Sichi and his classmates who are engineers, and the German engineers and technicians hired by William Xiao for us are also about to arrive, this manpower problem will be basically solved for the time being." In addition, we will find some literate and clever young people, and hand them over to our engineers and foreigners as assistants, and we will only rely on them before our universities and middle schools have cultivated talents. ”

Qin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Ning Xingpu, Gao Lin and Yang Shaonong.

"The refined salt, extra white flour, soap, canned food and a small amount of gold pen and ink prepared for you are enough for you to fill our cargo ships, and tomorrow Lao Li will go to the customs to go through the formalities and pay taxes, which of you will lead the team?" When can I go? And the translation thing, how are you doing? ”

Ning Xingpu patted Gao Lin: "Ming Hong, the three of us have already calculated this matter, this time I will go with Gao Lin, with his identity as a German, many things will be easier to do." The interpreter was also contacted by the German Minister Klinder and was waiting for us in Nanyang. As for the departure time, it depends on when your goods are loaded, as long as the goods are loaded, Gao Lin and I will set off at any time. ”

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "You can load the ship tomorrow, and you can set off in three days." ”

Qin Chuan smoked his cigarette and thought about it and said, "Our goods must not be sold before they pass through India, they must arrive; The Arabian Sea can only be sold in Persia, and as far west as Egypt, without crossing the canal. ”

"Don't look at the vast desert everywhere, but there are countless tribes and tribes, the chiefs of those tribes face the yellow sand all day long, but there are no rich people here who have Yaxing, in addition to building palaces, buying camels, cattle and sheep, and then accumulating wealth, because their money cannot be spent, so they are all rich and rival the country. They all have a lot of precious stones, gold, and the best spices that are abundant there, not to mention musk, and precious ambergris are easy to find. In addition, Arabian war horses are produced there. ”

"You have also seen the flour now, don't say that the flour we eat in the Qing Dynasty is gray, even the flour imported by foreigners, only our flour can really be called genuine white flour, not to mention the snow-white refined salt and exquisite pens and soap, you go there to trade with those chiefs, as long as precious stones, gold and fine spices, and then buy a small amount of some Arabian horses of good breeds."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes with some fascination: "I dare to guarantee that you will go on this business trip, and when you come back, you will be dazzled by the gold, and your eyes will be full of golden light." ”

Gao Lin clapped his hands excitedly: "Qin is right, I know that those chiefs have a lot of gold, and we will definitely return with a full load on this trip." ”
