Chapter 136: The Dead

"Jiazi 17, Jiazi 17, is the only truck in the caravan with 5 tons of B nutrients, and it is still a best-selling sugar product.

The rest of the goods were also C-grade nutrients, and their value was arguably the highest of all the containers in the entire caravan.

If we were stolen, we would have run for nothing this time!" exclaimed the old steward.

Even if the grade B nutrients are of average quality, the average selling price per catty in Jiangchu Guozheng District is around 1,000 gold knives.

Of course, the direct sales price of the negative zone is only one-fifth of this figure.

In addition, in the face of large customers with a total purchase of more than 100 tons at one time, the plantation will generally give a 9% discount on wholesale.

Therefore, the price of Liao's firm to purchase this batch of grade B nutrients is only about 180 gold knives per catty.

But even so, one ton of two thousand catties still costs 360,000 gold knives, and 5 tons is 1.8 million.

Coupled with the remaining 45 tons of C-grade nutrients, the cost price is about one million gold dollars.

The loss of this wagon, although it did not make the caravan lose all its money, was indeed a very considerable loss of profit.

The innkeeper sighed when he heard this and said: "Old man, our 'Higher Sheng' is a thousand-year-old shop, and we will never shirk our responsibilities.

Since the goods were lost in our inn, we must pay the money according to the rules.

Coupled with those Nanyang insurance companies, Guibao should not lose much.

However, this thief's methods are so superb that he can steal all the nutrients in a container without realizing it.

Now you say he's choosing the most valuable target.

I suspect it's mostly an internal ghost.

We have to hurry up and report to Liao Dongzhu to see if we can check it out, and we can all suffer less losses. ”

The fifth master was sympathetic, and felt that he was here, and the people below couldn't have fun, so he went back to the room early to rest.

I'll take you to him. The old steward groaned slightly, nodded, and said immediately.

got up and led the inn keeper on duty, walked through the hall, and walked towards the hall in the backyard.

The fifth master refers to Liao Dongyu, because he ranks fifth in the ranking of brothers of the same generation in the family, so people who are familiar with him are respectfully called 'fifth master'.

On the way, the innkeeper asked softly: "By the way, Mr. Zhao, can you still find the goods transported by the 'Tongshengtong' car this time?"

Are there any fresh faces in the caravan?"

"The car dealership hasn't changed, I want to come to the 'Tongshengtong' so old name, so that it won't be stolen by the guard," the old steward said softly: "As for the face."

When the caravan was about to leave the Shen Snake base, the fifth master met a New Year's friend.

Followed us all the way to here.

The origin is somewhat unclear, so you can focus on checking.

However, the fact that the No. 17 truck contained Class B nutrients is a secret.

The entire caravan is also known to the fifth master, Miss and me, as well as Xu Changmao and Liu Shide.

It stands to reason that the kid went deep and simple along the way, except for a few words with the fifth master, no one paid attention to it, it shouldn't be clear. ”

While speaking, the two of them had come to the outside of the hall, and the old butler patted the door knocker and shouted, "Has the fifth master slept?"

Shopkeeper Li, who is on duty at night, has an urgent matter and wants to tell you. ”

After shouting, I waited for a while, but there was no movement in the house.

The old steward tapped the knocker again and shouted again, but there was still no answer.

An ominous premonition rose in his heart, the old steward's face changed, he raised his voice and shouted again, and seeing that there was still no response, he hurriedly kicked open the door and broke in.

I saw Liao Dongyu sleeping next to a dim red candle lit in the house, but his face was facing the beam of the room, obviously his neck had been broken, his expression was angry, and his eyes were round and he lost his life.

When the old steward saw this terrible scene, his legs immediately weakened, and he sat down on the ground.

The shopkeeper on duty at the higher Sheng gritted his teeth with a drastic change in his face, turned around and ran away without saying a word, notified the owner, and summoned people to prepare for the response.

The inn is to usher in the sale of the delivery, and it is the most basic requirement to protect the safety of guests' lives and property.

Now the guests first lost their wealth and then their lives, which is equivalent to smashing the signboard of 'higher prosperity'.

In particular, the one who died was one of the owners of a big business, and the reputation of the inn could be lost for a thousand years if he was not careful.

Naturally, you have to be careful and do your best to show sincerity and apology.

And just when the 'higher sheng' was rumored to be in the air.

Zhang Jiao had already glided to the only marine terminal in Linfan County and landed.

This wharf is called 'Jinhailiu', and it is said that it is the property of a small nobleman surnamed Liu in Jiang Chu Kingdom.

Legend has it that because the Liu family has a hereditary title of 'lower doctor', the fief is narrow, and there is no way to maintain the dignity of the family.

And because of his humble position and low rank, he couldn't find a big merchant as an agent, so he could only go to the sea in person regardless of the dignity of the nobles, bought a tidal flat in the suburbs of Linfan County, built a small port, and started a business of making money in the water.

Unexpectedly, relying on the aristocratic status and several generations of business-minded family owners, Liujiagang grew stronger and stronger like a balloon, and finally monopolized all the dock business in Linfan County in one fell swoop.

The scale has expanded to the point where it is almost comparable to the county seat.

Zhang Jiao stood on the fishy cement road outside the harbor, looking at the dark and bright harbor like a bald head, and strolled forward and stepped into it.

In the dim space of the dock are closed warehouses, restaurants, and grocery stores.

The lights are lit up by unloading ships, factories that process their catches overnight, taverns, inns, and places where the snow is lit up.

And from the dirty clothes of the dock workers, the unkempt appearance of the fish-cutting women, and the decent dress of those maritime merchants and high-rollers who were still drinking and having fun in the middle of the night, it can be seen that the gap between the rich and the poor in Chu Jiangguo is far greater than that of Lu Yang.

The poor class lived in great hardship.

Zhang Jiao walked leisurely in the harbor.

Seeing the sweaty laborers sweating profusely under the chandelier at the berth, like ants, carrying goods from the 10,000-ton giant ship and disembarking the ship, I couldn't help but think: "I really opened my eyes to the pure manpower shipping port that doesn't even have mechanical cranes and forklifts."

How cheap is the labor here, it can withstand the wave of the industrial revolution. ”

Lingdingyang is connected to the South China Sea, and from the Jinhailiu Wharf, you can directly reach the three most modern and open Nanyang countries in the Xiazong civilization circle.

Most of the ships passing through the Gimhaeliu Terminal come from these three countries, which are the most important logistics hubs in the east and west continents.

Xiangyuan, one of the three countries in the South Seas, is the destination for Zhang Jiao to finance the exploitation of oil fields and build plantations.

That's why he chose to come to the dock after leaving 'Higher Sheng', planning to buy a ferry ticket to cross the ocean after dawn, and rush to Xiangyuan to start his new life of Li Dai Taozhuang and build a foundation.
