Chapter 910: Ten Thousand Taels of Gold
Originally, it was good to just come out to eliminate food, the big guy had nothing to do to compare and discuss for a while, although the fat man opened a gambling game, but his original intention was actually just to play casually, small gambling pleasure, with a little color to play everyone.
Unexpectedly, the bet suddenly rose to 10,000 taels of gold, which is not a small bet, but a big gamble!
Grand Duke Gavsky came to Moxi, firstly, to congratulate Wanyan Hong's birthday, and secondly, to buy silk porcelain, so he carried a large amount of gold.
In this international trade, gold is always a hard currency.
said that since he came to buy silk and porcelain, why didn't he go to the trade market in Longjiang City?
Don't forget that Ross and Yan Yun are in a hostile state now, the relationship between the two sides is very tense just after the war, and he is a grand duke, so it is impossible for him to go to Longjiang to buy things, and he does not dare to go.
So he could only ask Mo Qian to help buy it, and he waited for the handover in the Karma Ling City, although the price must be much higher, but it was safe.
The main reason is that the porcelain and silk of China are so exquisite, and the Rus people like it very much, and when Shunfeng Harbor was in their hands before, they could also buy it through some smuggling channels.
After Xiao Chen arrived, he established a 'good' relationship with Governor Peter, leased Shunfeng Harbor, and the trade was smooth, and a large number of high-end Chinese goods flowed into Rus', which made the Rus' people taste great sweetness.
Although the price is ridiculously high for various reasons, it is still in short supply in Rus.
But since Xiao Chen recovered Shunfeng Harbor, the two have also broken off trade ties, and no matter how high the price is, you can't buy a single thing from other people's Huaxia.
Although Gafsky is a Grand Duke, he is very business-minded, since it is impossible to buy goods from Da Zhou through normal channels, can it be okay to use Mo Li as a middleman to turn around?
Of course, the Moxian people happily promised, this is a good business that is sent to the door without any profits, and it is a fool not to do it! So after the discussion, they hit it off.
This incident once shocked Wen Chengxu, why is the demand for goods from the Moxian tribe so big this year?
You were quite poor in the first two years, why did you get rich overnight, can't you, I haven't heard of gold and silver mines dug up in your territory?
After pouring a big drink, the officials on the Mo Shan side told the truth, Wen Chengxu felt that the matter was still quite important, and hurriedly sent someone to report to the old man Chen Jisheng, please ask for instructions?
The old man said that this is still a fart, what should you do, people spend money to buy things, can you still sell it?
Besides, this is Mo Li came to buy it with us, and he has a fart relationship with the Ross?
You Wen Chengxu have become a big member of the party, why can't you even pretend to be confused? However, the quantity they purchased is too large, and it is difficult for us to prepare them in a short time, so ......
Wen Chengxu immediately understood, so if you are in a hurry to get the goods, the price may be higher, because the cargo ships in our port are very tight, if you want to expedit, you have to increase the price, if you don't increase the price, you have to wait.
How long to wait? That's not easy to say, how can it not take a year to ship so many goods ready?
The Mo Xian official knew it and knew that Wen Chengxu was bad, but he spit out the truth to him after drinking, and it was too late to regret it, anyway, the price increase was also added by the Ross people, it has nothing to do with us, we just made a difference, and Wen Chengxu almost said that he would give him benefits and dividends directly......
Gafsky is very fond of Chinese goods, but he hates Chinese people very much, we have been operating in Shunfeng Port Sands for so many years, how much financial, material and human resources have been spent on infrastructure alone, but you directly snatched away the ready-made likeness?
This is a banditry!
Our esteemed empress will settle accounts with you sooner or later, and when that day comes, I, Gafsky, must take the initiative to ask for help and go into battle, we will not only recover Shunfeng Harbor Sands City, but also destroy all of your Yanyun County! If you don't believe me, we'll see......
So when he saw the envoy of the Great Zhou, he couldn't get angry, and when he saw Xiao Chen, he hated it even more, if it weren't for the fact that he was not good at making a mistake in Wanyan Hong's palace, he would have directly pulled out his musket and duel with Xiao Chen!
You know, we Gafsky are tough guys too.
Just now at the adjacent table, I heard the generals of Mo Ye slapping Xiao Ye's ass, and I was already very disappreciative in my heart, listening to the meaning of their words, that Xiao Ye's child is Xiao Chen's younger brother, hehe, these guys praise him so much, it must be because of Xiao Chen's relationship!
This skinny kid can be blown away by a gust of wind, and what does he say about going into battle to fight? I'm not good enough to stab him with a single finger, and a few of my Hercules can blow him up with a single fart.
So when the big guy came out to learn, he also followed silently, thinking about giving Xiao Ye and the others a good look.
Hearing that the fat man said that he wanted to sit in the banker to gamble, he naturally did not hesitate to press down the heavy bet. Today, I'm going to make you Huaxia villains ashamed, embarrassed, and disgraced!
Since so many people are willing to vouch, Gafsky has no scruples, and immediately asks to sign a contract with Shangguan Qiji!
After all, this is 10,000 taels of gold, not a small amount, if you don't sign a contract, then there is no basis for it, who knows if these Chinese people will play tricks?
They're going to cheat, and the fat guy doesn't look like a good guy. When the fat man heard it, you don't believe in Lao Tzu's strength?
Okay, it's up to you, sign the contract, sign the contract, and you have to draw a fingerprint to sign it, I'm especially afraid that you will pay the bill!
Then this is a serious gamble, so the rules must also be clarified. Comparing strength is comparing strength, but it also has to be said that it is good to compare the method, and it must be absolutely fair.
Gafsky proposed two events, the first is weightlifting, and whoever lifts the most weight will win, which is undisputed and cannot be faked at all.
The second is wrestling, which can also be said to be wrestling, or sumo, drawing a circle, two people fighting in the circle, theoretically using a variety of moves, as long as one side is out of the circle, it is lost!
Of course, this is all bare-handed, and no weapons can be used.
What Gafsky said is reasonable, the rules are also very fair, the big guys who participated in the gambling game have agreed, and the fat man naturally agreed, and before starting, he also hugged his fists and gave his hands to express his highest gratitude to the friends who did not bet on Xiao Chen!
Everyone doesn't know where he started with this thanks? But it will soon be known......
"Is it true that they gamble so much gold?" Shangguan Wuji's eyes were dizzy, and his voice trembled, "It's a joke, right?" ”
"What are you kidding? have signed a contract to draw a pledge, and besides, everyone is a person with status, will they regret it because of such a little bit of gold? Ren Bijiang had the tone of a rich child.
"Oh my God, this is a small 20,000 taels of gold, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! Aren't they distressed that they lost for nothing? ”
Of course, Shangguan Wuji knew that Xiao Ye would win, so he couldn't help but feel distressed for Gafsky and the others, but it wasn't that it hurt, it was trembling, and I relied on hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......
Oh my God!
