Chapter 26 Trading

Xiao Zhenlei is not worried that Hu Er will not trade with him with money at all, Lu Jiasheng's earthen stack has been burned, and the batch of red clay is gone, which means that Lu Jiasheng is now very out of stock, and he can't complete the transaction with the owners of major tobacco restaurants on time, which will make him lose his reputation, you must know that in these years, whether it is doing serious business or doing this kind of unsightly business, it is important to pay attention to integrity, and once dishonest, you will lose the trust of your business partners, and it will be difficult to do business next time.

Therefore, Xiao Zhenlei concluded that once Lu Jiasheng knew that he had a large amount of red clay in his hands, he would definitely find a way to get this batch of goods, even if he was unwilling to hemorrhage as a big wrongdoer, he would come to black and eat black, but no matter how Lu Jiasheng chooses, this person must follow Ma Xiaoshuang with 960,000 cash money, otherwise Lu Jiasheng will not see the red clay, which is Xiao Zhenlei's reliance.

After going out, Xiao Zhenlei immediately began to arrange, he bought some oil, and hid the oil under the fifty-four bags of red clay, which was to prepare for the burning of this batch of red clay, and he also bought some raw materials for making zuò bombs, as long as you have money in this ten-mile foreign field in Shanghai, you can get anything, these raw materials are not difficult to get. It took a whole day for Xiao Zhenlei to lay out the plan foolproof.

However, it was said that Hu Er was frightened and extremely excited to return to the Lu Mansion and tell Lu Jiasheng about the situation when he met Xiao Zhenlei, and finally said: "Master, if we get this batch of goods, then we can also have an explanation with the owners of the major tobacco houses, even if it is worth losing some money!" ”

Lu Jiasheng is a shrewd person, after listening to Hu Er's report, what he thought of was not that he could give an explanation to the major tobacco houses if he got this batch of goods, but that he could recover his losses and make a lot of money, and he could also cut off a seller who could ship in large quantities just appeared. In fact, he didn't care what the owners of the major tobacco houses thought of him. Now in Shanghai, he is the only one with the largest shipment of red clay, and the owners of major tobacco houses must find him if they want to buy red clay in large quantities, otherwise there will be no supply, which is his reliance.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Jiasheng said with a grim face: "Your idea is good, but my lord I will never take out even one big son, but we must get this batch of goods, and at the same time find out who the other party is, what channel the goods are shipped in, Shanghai Tang's largest shipment volume is us, and now there is another seller whose shipment volume is not smaller than ours, this is not a good sign, tomorrow night when you take four people to the No. 2 steel bridge to wait, Once you arrive at the destination and see a large number of goods, you immediately send a signal to inform the lord of me, and then I will rush in with the people to catch them, grab the goods and then ask the way of the goods! ”

Hu Er was a little surprised and said, "Does the master want to eat black and eat black?" We don't know the details of the other party, so we come to a trick to eat black, in case it is very hard, wouldn't it bring endless troubles to ourselves? ”

Lu Jiasheng said fiercely: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it clear to me about the power of Shanghai Tang? If the other party has a hard idea, he will definitely not want to borrow our bulk channel, and it is much better to go directly to the local local snakes? This shows that the other party is an outsider, and it is definitely not a local force! ”

Hu Er thought about it and felt that his master's analysis was very reasonable, and asked another detail: "Okay, master!" However, the other party asked us to bring cash or ocean, and no other banknotes and banknotes, should we take 960,000 silver? This has to be pulled by a horse-drawn carriage! ”

Lu Jiasheng has money, for a businessman like him who has been engaged in smuggling red clay for generations, one million taels is just a drop in the bucket, and he doesn't even burp when he takes it out, but no one's money is blown by the wind, he weighed it in his heart, and said: "The money still has to be taken out first, the other party will definitely not take us to find the large amount of red clay if he doesn't see the cash, let's take it back again, you can't lose it, you go and prepare, let the people below prepare the guys, so as not to suffer in case of a real fight!" ”

"Understood, sir!"

The next night, Hu Er waited on the No. 2 steel bridge with four people pulling a carriage, all five of whom carried pistols around their waists and ten single-shot box cannons.

At that time, Ma Xiaoshuang appeared on time on the No. 2 steel bridge with a rag felt hat, and the electric pole light on the steel bridge shone his shadow on the bridge deck, and the shadow dragged on longer and longer.

Coming to Hu Er and the others, Ma Xiaoshuang lowered his felt hat according to Xiao Zhenlei's instructions, covered most of his face, and asked, "Mr. Hu?" ”

Hu Er was stunned, no one had ever called him Mr. Hu, others called him Steward Hu, he didn't react for a while, and only when Ma Xiaoshuang shouted the second time did he react and agree: "I am Hu Er!" ”

Ma Xiaoshuang and Qiē carried out the steps of the transaction according to Xiao Zhenlei's instructions, and he said: "According to the rules of the road, first look at the sample of the goods, and then check the amount of money!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of red clay from his pocket and threw it over.

Hu Er didn't expect that this kid who seemed to be rustic all his life knew so many rules on the road, took the red clay thrown by Ma Xiaoshuang, and checked the sample with a flashlight by a follower next to him, looked at the color, and sniffed it under his nose, and then buckled a small piece with his little finger and stuffed it into his mouth to taste it and then spit it out, and said: "It's the best red clay, third son, open the box on the carriage and let this brother check the payment!" ”

Called the third son's attendant to agree, he turned around and walked to the back of the two carriages and opened the fourteen boxes on the carriage one by one, Hu Er said to Ma Xiaoshuang again: "This brother, there are a total of fourteen boxes on the two carriages, in order to carry the aspect, all the things prepared by our master are Yingyang, according to the current ratio between silver taels and Yingyang, 960,000 taels of silver can be exchanged for huàn 1,371,000 Yingyang, and thirteen of the boxes here contain 100,000 Yingyang, The last box contains 71,000 eagles, you can count them! ”

Although there were reminders and warnings from Xiao Zhenlei in advance, Ma Xiaoshuang's eyes were still straight when he saw boxes of white flowers and Yingyang appear in front of him, but although Ma Xiaoshuang also loves money, he is not an extremely greedy person, he is the kind of person who loves money but wants to take it in a good way, which is reflected in his character.

After rummaging through several boxes with his hands in a row, he didn't find any ghosts, Ma Xiaoshuang made a rough inventory to determine that there should not be much difference in the number before waving his hand: "The amount of money is no problem, now I will take you to see all the goods, follow me!" ”

Hu Er nodded to the four subordinates, and immediately followed, two of the followers drove the carriage to the rear, and waited for Ma Xiaoshuang and the others to walk about a few hundred meters, and more than a dozen sturdy people came out from under the steel frame of the steel bridge deck, including Lu Jiasheng Master Lu, Lu Jiasheng took out a revolver from his waist and shook it at the others and said: "Go, follow!" ”

The other dozen thugs, all armed with rifles, followed Lu Jiasheng and followed Ma Xiaoshuang and the others.

At the end of the steel bridge, after Lu Jiasheng led more than a dozen of his subordinates over, Xiao Zhenlei turned over from under the bridge pier and took out a cigarette and lit it, smoking while staring at the black backs of the group.
