Chapter 196: Someone Jumped Off the Building

Cao Zhennan's sailors took a car to the largest green building in the city of Charleston.

I have been inquiring about selling slaves for the past few days, and I am waiting to get the money and come over to be cool.

When the sailors of the Ming Dynasty go to the territory of the Tessie people, they can basically get the Tessie woman without having to think about it.

But the Daming sailors will basically go directly to the Qinglou.

Because of the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, it is to punish women for doing prostitution without punishing them.

Moreover, the Ming officials sometimes manage very leniently, and if you go to the territory of the Taixi people, you may be punished after you go back.

Many times you can prostitute yourself in the Qinglou, at least you can get the lowest discount, and you don't need to give tips.

So unless you are planning to settle in Tessie, or you are really poor and want to find a place to eat white food for a long time and make a living.

Otherwise, simply solving physiological needs is basically going to the Qinglou.

As a result, as soon as a group of people arrived at the gate of the Qinglou today, they saw two people jumping down from the roof.

And it's head-to-head.

White and red flew everywhere.

Several sailors scolded directly:

"Damn, bad luck."

"How do you jump off a building in a green building?"

"I've seen death on the belly of a woman Sister Yao in the Qinglou, but I've never seen anyone jump off the building."

"It's really a disappointment, let's change it......

A group of sailors cursed and bypassed the dead people, preparing to find another green building.

Cao Zhendong's bookkeeper and translator asked the people around him with some curiosity:

"What's wrong with this man? Why are you tired of dying?"

The Americans on the side of the road saw that it was a Ming person, and immediately explained very enthusiastically:

"I don't know the specifics, but it is estimated that he was a slave, and he must have borrowed money to buy it."

"Simply don't jump off the building if you simply tun the Murnu, and the abolition is a heavy bet on the stocks and futures of the Murnu."

"A few days ago, the price of Mo Nu soared to one hundred pounds, that is, more than seven hundred Ming silver bills, it is estimated that they forcibly pushed it up, otherwise where would Mo Nu be worth so much money."

"As a result, the Ming merchants directly imported Mo Nu on a large scale, and the price fell to four hundred in less than a week, and these people directly lost money, and jumped off the building before they could pay the money."

"I bought the ink slave myself, but I lost some money, and it is absolutely impossible to jump off the building for this."

When the interpreter heard these discussions, he immediately gasped.

In the simple discussion of these people, a situation was directly revealed.

These Xiyi businessmen speculated on the market of Gao Mo Nu in the United States, but the Ming merchants accidentally washed it away.

They may have been planning and planning for a long time, but they were accidentally hedged.

The big businessmen of Daming just saw a business opportunity to make money, and then they rushed up.

If it weren't for the fact that he was going to follow the sailors to the Qinglou, he happened to see this scene, and then asked the people watching the excitement on the street, and he didn't know what was going on here.

These people didn't do a good job of their own investigation, and they didn't expect to transport the Monu from the Antilles to this side, which is completely self-inflicted, and it has nothing to do with our Ming merchants.

The translator shook his head helplessly.

Then I started to worry a little about my own safety, and the safety of my own owner and sailors.

In the past few days, the Ming sailors who have come to Charleston have basically transported ink slaves over.

Under normal circumstances, these Xiyi would definitely not dare to do anything to the Ming people.

But they all jumped off the building bankrupt, what should they do if they find a few Ming people to back their backs before they die?

The interpreter began to become extra cautious, and went into a green house for a night, and the next day returned to the ship with the sailors.

Luckily, nothing happened outside of that.

After that, just as Cao Zhennan expected, more and more Ming businessmen participated.

Purchased Mexican slaves in the Antilles and shipped to southern America for sale.

It has directly become the hottest business among Ming merchants.

Slaves in the Antilles quickly rose from a disliked commodity to a most popular commodity.

In just half a month, the price soared from seventy or eighty silver bills to two hundred silver bills.

The price of slaves in southern America also fell rapidly from 700 to 300 silver bills.

In this way, the pure slave trade does not make money, and it is purely a work for the shipowner.

Therefore, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty quickly gave up this industry.

But the trafficking continues.

Many of the Tessie plantation owners in the Antilles began to sell their slaves directly.

There was a Tessie plantation owner who did not leave in the Andrés Islands and heard the news outside.

It has been transferred to plantation owners in Mexico or the United States.

They are all selling their slaves, and they can sell them for as long as three hundred silver bills.

These plantation owners have figured it out.

I've lost my plantation anyway, and I need to start over everywhere.

Going to Mexico and the United States to compete with existing plantations is not a good option.

It's better to go directly to Mozhou and go to the latest colonial development, and the competitive pressure can be less.

The point is that the price of Mexican slaves in Mexico and the United States is extremely high, while the price of Mexican slaves is certainly very low.

Even if the price of the Mo slave drops to three hundred silver bills, they can buy three or more Mo slaves when they sell one Mo slave in the United States.

In the United States, he sold his original slaves and went to Mozhou with a huge amount of wealth.

Invest directly in new plantations and recapture slaves directly in Mozhou.

The news continued to spread, and so did the range of slave sales.

It is slowly expanding from the Antilles to the whole of Southern Yinzhou.

The Spanish and Portuguese colonies had a large number of plantations, and the total number of Monu may have exceeded 10 million.

I don't know how many will be shipped to the United States.

On the other side of the earth, the Tianzhu side.

When Lufrey was raising the supply of Tianzhu slaves, he had a conflict with Gu Rui.

After the two telegraphed the hype, they met again on a ship in the open sea.

Lu Frei asked Gu Rui with an incredulous expression:

"What the hell do you think?

"Do you want to keep the best female slaves for the Great Food Country? And not sent to North Yinzhou?

"Even if it's the finest, you can sell it for three hundred silver bills in the Great Food Country?

"When you arrive in Beiyinzhou, it's worth three thousand silver bills!"

Gu Rui sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs and asked directly:

"What do I say in the second half of the sentence?"

Lufrey immediately became even more incomprehensible:

"You asked me to choose a relatively well-rounded orchid from the flavorful orchids, which are generally above average, and send them to Beiyinzhou for sale, shouldn't this kind be sent to the Great Food Country?"

Gu Rui continued to ask:

"Then if these two kinds of orchids are sent to Bei Yin Zhou, what will be the difference in the price at which they can be sold?"

Instinctively, Lufrey said:

"Of course there's a difference! The best ones will definitely sell for 3,000, and the medium ones will sell for 2,000 and a half ......."

Gu Rui asked rhetorically again:

"If you don't send the best, only sell the medium past, should you sell less?"

Lufrey reacted:

"If no one else had done this business with us, even the middle and upper class orchids would have to sell for three thousand silver bills, because they are the best.

"And, according to the brothers who provide the sales channels, this is not a normal need, they are not tools for production and business, and they are not necessities.

"This is the private needs of the affluent, and affordability has its limits......

"The price is too high, they might as well break the law and directly engage in their own immigrant children."

Gu Rui put down his legs and clapped his hands:

"Isn't that the end of it? Anyway, no matter how high-quality the grade, there is no way to open a huge gap in the price.

"Sending the best of the best to North Yin Chau will make our medium-sized orchids cheaper.

"There are no high-quality products, only the middle and upper class orchids, and they also sell at the highest price.

"Why do you want to send the boutique to North Yinzhou?

"At the same time, we also have to consider that we don't know how long the trading in North Yin Chau can be done.

"Big Food Country is definitely a long-term partner.

"In the future, there may be hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of shipments in the big food country.

"The king of the Great Food Country is the favorite grandson of the Emperor Taishang and the favorite son of His Majesty.

"He is the Minister of the Governor's Empire, the Mediterranean, and the affairs of East Mozhou.

"In the future, our main business scope is under his jurisdiction.

"The West Sea Canal, where we are going, is also under his jurisdiction.

"If you offend him, if you let him know, send the best to Yinzhou......

"Hehe......"

Ruffrey fully understands the logic:

"I see, but the question is, can we guarantee that we are the fastest?

"Will others sell the best orchids directly to Beiyinzhou?"

Gu Rui thought for a while and said:

"It's a risk, but it shouldn't be too risky.

"It's just that the Ming and the British can't do this business.

"I, a Ming man, cooperating with you, an Englishman, is a very outrageous choice.

"The other Ming merchants may not have lowered their faces.

"Even if someone thinks of it, they may not be able to plan the implementation plan well.

"I may not be able to think of selling the Tianzhu people to Beiyinzhou.

"If neither of us heard anything in our own channels, then it shouldn't exist.

"Even if someone sent the best orchid over without our knowledge.

"He sells it for three thousand, and ours can sell it for two thousand and a half, so we won't lose too much."

Lu Frei nodded slowly, accepted Gu Rui's logic, and then went back to continue stocking up.

Lufrey began to stock up for the trip to Mozhou a year ago, and he did not stop during the Chinese New Year.

By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, nearly 10,000 slaves were basically ready.

As a result, in the past two days, Gu Rui received news that the price of Mo slaves in Yin Zhou had plummeted.

There are only more than 300 silver bills left, and it is expected that Tianzhu *** can sell 400 to 500 silver bills.

However, the valuation of the middle- and upper-class Tianzhu slave girls remained unchanged, and the price of three thousand silver bills could still be expected.

Gu Rui and Lu Frei met overseas again, and Gu Rui said directly without waiting for Lu Frey to speak:

"The latest news, that outrageous price was really deliberately speculated, but it was collapsed by a swarm of Yin Zhou Daming merchants, and the initiators have already jumped off the building.

"But we still have to take a trip, ordinary *** can be sold for more than four hundred silver bills, and a single slave still has two to three times the profit of the Mozhou market, and it is still worth going.

"What's more important is that the price of middle- and upper-class female slaves remains the same, even for these female slaves, you have to make a trip.

"Slave girls can't go in large numbers, and the cabin is empty, and ordinary *** is regarded as piggybacking."

Lu Frei also understood the logic of what Gu Rui said, so he didn't say any more nonsense.

The two quickly made the final preparations, and then officially set off for Beiyinzhou.

When he entered the Red Sea on the 20th of the first lunar month, he was stopped by the patrol fleet around Jizhou.

Gu Rui and Luffrey took a photo of the scheduled plan, took out the export voucher of Nantianzhu from Luffrey's office, and took out the lease and transaction documents of both parties.

It may seem like it's drifting on the edge of breaking the law, but it's not really illegal.

However, the patrol did not let it go immediately

Instead, the situation was sent to Zhu Jingyuan by telegram.

This kind of gray area matter has to be left to the "governor" to make an idea, and there will be a practice to follow in the future.
