Lu Hong did not express any opinion on the estimate of the shopkeeper Hu, but he naturally understood that with Hu Yifei's ability to operate for many years, this estimate is almost too much, and the only possible thing is those diamond ores...... This small bag of gems was actually only one-tenth of the survival of his hand, and a small number of the larger grains of raw ore had not yet been counted in them, so on the whole, he had some amount of value in his mind after the sale of this batch of goods.

He chatted with Sima Qi and Hu Shopkeeper for a while, this Hu Yifei obviously intended to handle this matter, and repeatedly told Lu Hong that after he did this industry, he could try his best to make more profits on the side of foreign businessmen...... If his estimate just now is reasonable, this is already a staggering premium!

However, Lu Hong still said noncommittally haha, and when he finally left, he didn't give him a definite answer, but just said that he would go back and think about it, and the shopkeeper Hu mentioned intentionally or unintentionally before breaking up that someone in their Hu family was in the middle of the matter...... In this regard, Lu Hong smiled, we also have a backstage, since it is difficult to be Huang Tifang's protégé, it is not too much to use these three products as an umbrella!

After that, Lu Hong took Sima Qi on a trip to Dongjiaomin Lane, a French foreign firm called Vitley and an American foreign firm called St. George's, and finally basically finalized a transaction with Yankee Anderson, because this American bearded man in his thirties immediately offered a price 2 percent higher than that of the French after seeing the gems provided by Lu Hong, and it was determined that it was a long-term sale.

However, after the bearded man smiled deceitfully, he immediately put forward another request, "Mr. Lu, your goods have a very high added value, however, this is only the raw diamond ore, the price of unprocessed, considering the fluctuations of the market, I have given the greatest discount, of course, you also know, we do shipping, we hope to be able to load profitable goods every time, so, I hope you can accept, 30% of the payment can be offset by the goods, of course, the price of the goods is settled on the FOB price, That's already a big deal! ”

Offsetting the goods in cash...... This made Lu Hong hesitate a little, are you going to dump foreign garbage on us? 1894...... I remember that the 14th economic crisis that swept Europe and the United States this year has just shown signs of recovery, but the economic crisis that lasted for four years has also seriously damaged these European and American industrial powers.

"Mr. Anderson, what are the things you are talking about...... I need a detailed list, and if you don't have what I need in the list, I may need to add some additional items, would you be okay with that? "On the issue of negotiation, Lu Hong naturally refused to give an inch, this is a matter involving long-term interests in the future, how can it be easily promised.

Anderson listened to Lu Hong's statement, and was in a good mood, now the United States has the situation of the world's factory, what products can not be purchased by the United States, especially under the weight of the economic crisis, many domestic industries have gone bankrupt, and a large number of products that have been backlogged two or three years ago have not been sold out, which makes overseas trade competition also fierce...... As for the other things that Lu Hong might have to purchase, in his opinion, there is no big problem at all, what can a Chinese jeweler purchase!

"Mr. Lu, this is no problem at all, I will ask the secretary to prepare a list and provide it to you tomorrow," he looked greedily at the gem sample that Lu Hong took on the table, and he gave the price of 4,000 taels of silver, however, considering the expansion of luxury consumption in the United States over the years, the price of this batch of jewelry may be doubled after it is shipped back, and this business alone, if it can be done for a long time, his overseas trading company will be enough to survive...... It's a big deal!

When talking about overseas procurement just now, Lu Hong remembered the Howell torpedo that he had been talking about before, but considering that this thing costs more than 300 pounds, it is almost 1200 taels of silver when converted into silver, and it is really not something he can play now! Therefore, he immediately suppressed the idea of paying out of his own pocket to do things for the country, at least let Cai Ting do that work for us!

He and the bearded man inquired about the economic situation in Europe and the Americas, Anderson originally hesitated to say, but after Lu Hong broke the economic crisis in Europe and the United States, he also frankly said some of the information he knew, and soon, the two sides completed the negotiation of the purchase and sale contract, before each transaction, the jewelry experts on both sides of the batch of gems were identified, and after reaching an agreement, according to the contract price Anderson paid 7 percent of the payment first, and provided the other 30 percent of the payment of the exchange note pledge.

After everything was negotiated, Lu Hong began to think about how to operate safely, although Qin Tianmin's guy was credible, but now he didn't want this guy to get involved, and it seemed that he had to take care of this transaction himself...... Later, he took Sima Qi back to Dashengxing Jewelry Store, and negotiated with Hu Shopkeeper about the identification of gemstones, each batch of appraisal and valuation, Hu Yifei's 2% rebate, Sima Qi took 1% rebate, the higher the price negotiation, the more rebates naturally there were.

Today, these two people have earned more money than the previous one or two months in Lu Hong's business, and when they heard Lu Hong say that the amount of this transaction exceeded their expectations, the two naturally signed this fortune deal without hesitation, and Sima Qi vowed to continue to raise the price......

In the next two days, Lu Hong successively deposited the first batch of 23,000 taels of silver in the Dadeheng ticket number on the side of the stone alley...... A total of five small bags of jewelry were completed in two days, which was half of the amount of jewelry he was currently carrying, and he was not in a hurry to clear his surname once, but also to continue to maintain the business relationship with Hu Zhangjiao and Sima Qi, he was a new face in Yanjing City, and some things might be better handled through these two people!

On the evening of the third day, when he returned to Huang Tifang's mansion, Qin Tianmin was still talking with Wu Shengxi in the garden, and said, in the end, this guy was born in a young man, but he was quite expected by Wu Shengxi, seeing Lu Hong come back, to be honest, both of them were very surprised, Lu Hong was mysterious in the past two days, and he didn't know what he was doing, but they didn't gossip to ask directly.

Wu Shengxi said hello and walked away with the book in his hand, while Qin Tianmin said mysteriously: "Engong, Lord Huang Shaoji and Huang came to pass the word just now, saying that early tomorrow morning, Huang Gong will take you to the military aircraft department for a trip to get you ready...... Don't take what you said in the copy, don't take it seriously, it's no good to go to the army, and it's risky! ”

Lu Hong patted this guy on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, this matter is not my idea, but now it is a matter of the safety of the country, if this matter is really done, it will be a good thing for the country and the people...... Of course, if I have the opportunity to serve my country, it will be a rare opportunity! ”

"......" Qin Tianmin stared at Lu Hong, he didn't think much about his benevolent father, but he couldn't understand it, if he wanted to make money, he could do industry in Fei County, Mengyin, or go to other places to do industry, but he didn't expect him to follow this clear stream boss Huang Tifang to run to Beijing to get involved in this national affairs...... That thing should be mixed with a little person like himself, in this capital, just throw a stone to kill a few big people, this Lu Hong, I really don't know what I'm thinking!

Lu Hong obviously also saw this guy's strange expression, and he smiled, "Brother Qin, I'm afraid you will have to go to the Ministry of Officials to do more activities when you turn around, and the money will soon be settled, you are so good to make an errand in Dengzhou Mansion...... By the way, if you want to donate a prefect, how much silver will you get? ”

"Prefect...... Engong, I'm afraid this difficulty is too high! "Qin Tianmin has a big black line, he has never thought about donating to the prefect, the so-called three-year Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, but that is a real shortage, although after the revival of Tongguang, due to the large increase in the number of donors, but the real shortage is rare, resulting in a sharp decline in the price of donations, during the Xianfeng years, donating a candidate platform has to be 17,000 taels of silver, and now it is only 7,500 taels to get it.

But this candidate for the four-grade Taoist donor, if it is sent to the local area to wait for a real shortage, the general local governor will arrange a low-level yamen official position, except for once a month to participate in the yamen proceedings, in fact, there is nothing else, in fact, it is completely idle, ten thousand taels of donation money to earn back from this, waiting for decades may not have such a high-grade official vacancy.

When he explained this situation to Lu Hong, Lu Hong was somewhat dumbfounded, he was not as good as Qin Tianmin who understood the market, it seems that the position of this civil official is still really fiercely competitive, or let Qin Tianmin handle the affairs of Xiaozhi County by himself, after pondering for a moment, he still told two sentences, "Brother Qin, if we want to do industry, this port is the most important place, if the Shandong boundary can't donate to the real job, the Jiangsu boundary is actually not bad for the industry, even if you go to the south or go inland!" ”

Qin Tianmin also spent a lot of time with Lu Hong, so he naturally knew that if he donated to the official, whether this property could be run or not, this transportation was the most important condition, he immediately nodded and responded, thinking that when the matter here was settled, he would immediately go out and walk around, this really short official position is not so easy to find.

Later, after Huang Tifang returned to the house, he looked for Lu Hong again, the little old man still had that serious expression, and he didn't speak until he met for a while, "Lu Hong, your copywriting, Lord Weng has already seen it, and it has been detained for two days, today I and Lord Li Hongzao went to ask about this matter again, and the adult finally agreed to meet you, prepare more today, and make sure that the adult understands the details of how you handle that matter...... If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no more opportunities! ”

This news has been waiting for many days, Lu Hong has not been looking forward to it before, he nodded very seriously, for the little old man tirelessly mentioned this matter to Weng Tongyi, he admired and thanked from the bottom of his heart, if it wasn't for Huang Tifang feeling that this matter was related to the fate of the country, how could he stare at his boss as soon as he took office.

Of course, he didn't know what Weng Tongyi replied to Huang Tifang before, but at this moment, he only had one idea in his heart, and the plan that had been brewing in his heart for a long time finally had a chance to try it.

However, he has a firm belief at the moment...... That is, it must be successful!

[Brothers, if you have a recommended ticket, smash it, thank you~~]
