I wanted to say 10 yuan for 4 sticks a box, but when the words came to my lips, Qian Guotai doubled it again when the domestic price was increased by 50%.

"20 Hong Kong dollars a box of four, if you want, I'll get you thirty or fifty boxes next time."

Chu Qianqian pouted, this price is more expensive than some mid-range cigars in Cuban cigars.

However, compared with the price of the United States, the Cuban cigar of $1.25 a piece is indeed not expensive.

He took out 2,000 and said, "Give me 100 boxes." ”

Qian Guotai secretly scolded himself for offering too little, the kid next to him is a big plumber, and he has enough money to buy 6 movie theaters at the same time, and also decorate them at the same time.

This alone costs more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

And this kid also gave himself a one-time cash of 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars last time, that is to say, he came to Hong Kong Island in February, and now in mid-April, he can earn 2 million a month.

Thinking of this, Qian Guotai was both excited and headache.

It's not necessarily a good thing to be too good at making money, but fortunately, Chu Xiangqian looked for Qian Guotai this time, in order to discuss with him how to transport the 291,000 catties of rice that were collected into the warehouse of the novice village back to China.

Then tell him that he still has the same amount of rice at Kwai Chung Pier.

By the way, what can be transported when 100 kilograms of Hetian jade, 100 kilograms of bloodstone, and 100 kilograms of Tianhuangshi can be transported.

Finally, let's talk about the stick.

When Qian Guotai heard that Chu Xiangqian had prepared 582,000 catties of rice for free to give to China, his eyes almost burst out.

It's not that the country doesn't know how to buy grain from abroad, but that a large amount of grain is traded, which has always been strictly regulated by various countries.

So if you want to buy thousands of tons or tens of thousands of tons of grain, that's simply not realistic.

And relying on the Nanguang Company on the other side of Ao Yu to buy grain and transport it into the country is really a drop in the bucket.

And forex is also a nuisance.

Of course, how much can be transported, at least it is a supplement, so when he heard that Chu Qianqian got 291 tons of rice, Qian Guotai was excited and grateful.

If this batch of grain is transported back to the capital, it will be enough for almost one-tenth of the day's grain consumption in the capital.

And this is only the first batch, and the capital itself has a grain distribution plan, which is equivalent to improving the problem of food shortage.

Holding back his excitement, Qian Guotai asked in a low voice, "All the grain is at Kwai Chung Wharf?" ”

Chu shrugged forward, "It's only half stored over there, I have to make a show first, so as not to be targeted by the British, or even the Mi Guoyan." The other half I hid somebody.

And I've got through the connection, and I'm ready to leave the port at any time.

So now the question is how? Whether it is shipped to Guangdong, or shipped to Jinmen. ”

Qian Guotai's pupils shrank, and Chu Xiangqian said that he could leave the port at any time, does that mean that this kid has spent a lot of money to buy off the ghosts in the Marine Police and Hi Guan?

If that's the case, it's worth a lot.

Then Qian Guotai realized the problem and hurriedly said to Chu Xiangqian, "Xiangqian, don't do this kind of thing in the future." No matter how good the means of secrecy are, there will always be mistakes and omissions.

So, your most important job is to make money, to gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island, you know? ”

Chu Xiangqian looked at Qian Guotai, who was looking at him in surprise and anxious, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm more afraid of death than you imagined." ”

Qian Guotai shook his head and then laughed.

This is not the first time Chu Xiangqian has said this kind of thing, and even when he hinted that he would come to Hong Kong Island to get rid of the traitors, this kid said that he would only contact himself alone, and even only contact with the big leader of Gui'an above.

It is equivalent to worrying that he will be exposed internally before he starts to go abroad, and people like Chu Xiangqian really will not risk their own safety.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian's role is becoming more and more important.

Money and food, in these years, are indeed the most scarce materials in the country.

After Qian Guotai calmed down, he subconsciously lifted the fishing rod and reloaded the bait and returned to the sea.

After thinking about it silently for a while, he said, "The first batch will still be by land, if you are sure that the people in your hands are okay, then transport half of them to the New Territories."

Then tell me the address, and I will inform the mainland to ship it away. ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "I asked people to find a small island not far from the mainland, and if the things are placed on the island, it will not be difficult for you to transport them, and it is easy for me to keep it secret."

After all, 291,000 catties, a full 2,910 bags of 100 catties of grain, placed in the New Territories, are easy to be discovered.

If this is done, it will be transported to the Jinmen side in the future, and a small island can also be found on the sea. In this way, my people do not have to dock and do not arouse suspicion. ”

Qian Guotai swallowed his saliva again after hearing this.

This is equivalent to saying that Chu Xiangqian has recruited at least 100 subordinates on Hong Kong Island?

And people of his character can rest assured that these subordinates must be in his heart, these people are definitely confidants and diehards.

couldn't help but scold himself secretly, he was too negligent in his understanding of Chu Xiangqian.

But after thinking about it, the big leaders, and even the bigger leaders, have said that don't care about Chu Qianqian's whereabouts on Hong Kong Island, let alone investigate him.

Of course, at that time, the top just thought that Chu Xiangqian would become one of the sources of foreign exchange.

So it feels safer to let him develop on his own than to interfere.

And it seems that he himself is indeed doing very well.

plus the people who really know Chu Xiangqian's identity, there are less than ten in total.

Among them, four are his quasi-father-in-law, quasi-second brother-in-law, and grandfather and grandfather of prospective daughter-in-law.

So much so that the front-line personnel are only Qian Guotai alone.

Chu Xiangqian saw that Qian Guotai didn't speak, and said impatiently, "Okay, just do as I say." Otherwise, I don't think that people in the mainland can keep 100% confidentiality after coming into contact with my people. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Xiangqian suddenly realized that 291,000 catties of grain was a problem in itself.

I secretly thought in my heart that in the past two days, I still have to get a batch of the same amount of grain from the market and store it in the warehouse at Kwai Chung Wharf again.

As long as there is no shortage of food over there, if the British and the rice guys know that the mainland has obtained so much food, they will check carefully, and there will be no problems at the Kwai Chung wharf.

In the future, I will not check it a second time.

At the same time, the market on the fire station side has to be opened.

These days, Sanjiangshui has been taking a few of his subordinates, staring at the set and shooting, otherwise the market would have opened a long time ago.

As long as you keep selling food, you can make a fuss here.

As soon as he said this, Qian Guotai naturally would not disagree, and gave Chu Qianqian a few more days to deal with the tail of the hand.

After talking about the food, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Uncle Qian, the 300 kilograms of jade I want should also be given to me, right?" That's what I paid for. ”

Qian Guotai smiled embarrassedly, "It's not that you don't know, for the sake of secrecy, the big leader can't directly transport things to Guangdong." The plane came in, and it couldn't hide the ghosts at the airport here.

So you can only go by sea.

And for the sake of secrecy, even the comrades who transported it didn't know what it was, so the speed naturally couldn't be fast. ”

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he didn't say anything more.

In the end, the matter of mentioning the throwing stick was mentioned, and even the design drawings were shown to Qian Guotai.

This thing is actually not difficult, and after reading the drawings and annotations, elementary school students can remember it.

"I have to talk to the big leader about this", Qian Guotai finished speaking, thought about it carefully, and according to what Chu Xiangqian said, the three sticks were exported in batches.

It can indeed be said to be raw materials.

Not only does it make it easier to export, but it basically doesn't get noticed.

It's just that once it is really sold in the market, it will inevitably attract the attention of others.

Qian Guotai suddenly felt that there was no need to let Chu Xiangqian take a little risk for the sake of this benefit.

And seriously, the demand for steel in the country is very large right now.

Once the polar bear experts leave, in order to complete more than 200 key projects, China will prepare more and more steel and cement raw materials.

So last time Chu Xiangqian said that if he wanted to get an electric fan and a bicycle assembly factory, the boss would refuse so quickly.

Chu Xiangqian shrugged indifferently, this was the second time he had taken the initiative to help the mainland get an export.

If you have any ideas in the future, if you get rid of the mainland, you can't blame yourself.

I immediately hit Norton on the head of the idea, and asked him to pay for his own patents and build a slinger assembly plant on Hong Kong Island.

When the time comes, the sales from the England side will be handed over to him.

With Mountbatten already the supreme commander of the infant country, it was easy to procure some throwing sticks for the gendarmes.

After using it for a while, it will be easy to open the market in England.

By the way, in the name of Norton, you can also export the slinger to the United States.

When the time comes, he hides behind his back and makes a fortune, and it doesn't matter if he gives his name to Norton.

——

Thinking about this, Chu Xiangqian's mood suddenly improved a lot.

From the handbag, he took out a breadfruit and handed it to Qian Guotai.

"Uncle Qian, have you heard of breadfruit, a specialty of Southeast Asia?"

Qian Guotai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the information about breadfruit in his mind, and even recalled the dried breadfruit he had eaten in Vietnam a few years ago.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Unlike the baobabs in Africa, the breadfruit trees in Southeast Asia are close relatives of jackfruit, and breadfruit is similar to jackfruit.

This fruit is said to be a fruit, but it is not so much a grain.

I took it and cut it with a knife, and the smell of toasted bread came to my face.

When you eat it, it's almost the same as a baked potato.

And with the whole thing in my hand, just by feeling it, there are about ten pounds.

If this is imported from Southeast Asia in large quantities, the United States and the British will not care about it at first.

After all, this thing has never been the mainstream food, and even in Southeast Asia, only some islands and forest aborigines are still eating this thing.

After eating a large piece, he made sure that it was the same as what he had eaten, and hurriedly put down the fruit and asked Chu Xiangqian, "You give me this fruit, there should be a channel to get some to Hong Kong Island?" ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded with a smile, "It's about 150,000 catties a month, that is, 75 tons, plus about 20,000 catties of dried fish.

If I keep sending it for free, it's no problem for three or five months, and if it lasts a little longer, I won't want to do business in the future.

Moreover, I don't dare to guarantee that this business will be available every month, after all, it depends on the actual supply of my partners in Southeast Asia. “

Qian Guotai has no doubt about this, and in his heart, he is still looking forward to the arrival of the rainy season in China, which can alleviate the drought in the mainland.

When the time comes, it will only take a few months to harvest this year's grain.

But the food problem in the past few months has become the key.

"I'll report this to my boss when I get back, but 、、、。"

Qian Guotai hesitated and hesitated, and was a little embarrassed to tell Chu Xiangqian that he should order 150,000 catties of breadfruit and 20,000 catties of dried fish this month.

Although Chu Xiangqian said just now that he was willing to give it away for free for three or five months, fools know that it will be chilling to do so.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian guessed it after a little thought.

Anyway, breadfruit and dried fish are all products of the novice village.

And breadfruit is indeed a bit too much every month, and it is sold in large quantities on Hong Kong Island, and it is really not sold out.

It is better to send it to the mainland, one is to save more people, and the other is to be able to exchange for antiques, jade, or other things.

Just thinking about it, it seems that in the current hinterland, except for agricultural and handicraft goods, there are basically no attractive goods.

Forget it, let the boss discuss it for himself before it happens.

I looked at the warehouse in the novice village and saw that there were more than 22,700 catties of fish inside.

said to Qian Guotai with a smile, "I have about 20,000 catties of breadfruit and 20,000 catties of dried fish here, and I will put them on the selected island together with this batch of grain."

I will also find a partner in Southeast Asia to order next month's order, and after a full month, I think it is time for me to come up with a plan, right? ”

Qian Guotai nodded hurriedly, if he couldn't decide for a month, then simply don't buy breadfruit and dried fish.

Chu Xiangqian reminded, "My side will be the cost price, plus the freight price to the country." I don't make money in this area, but I want to export something that will make me money on Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, I don't make money in this business, and there are other ways to make money. But my subordinates who volunteered to help the mainland can do it for a long time not only by relying on their enthusiasm.

At least, people are taking risks, and you can't make him even unable to eat. ”

Qian Guotai sighed, "Don't worry, your proposal is good." The above will definitely think more comprehensively, and it will not make you suffer. ”

Chu Xiangqian trusts his superiors very much, there are foreign enemies, and his own fictitious subordinates, in the eyes of the superiors, are passionate people who serve the country.

When necessary, they will even sacrifice their own people to keep these people who contribute to the country.

Qian Guotai thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Forward, didn't you get a lot of sika deer and tigers from Southeast Asia?"

Then you will definitely be able to get a lot of deer antlers, deer treasures, tiger whips and other things, plus your uncle, Mr. Gong Ruomei, runs a pharmacy on Hong Kong Island itself.

In this case, you might as well exchange herbs with China, and even if it is necessary, we can even give you a few formulas of some traditional Chinese medicine products.

You import the most basic raw materials such as medicinal materials from China, not to mention the British, even the people of the United States will not care.

Then make a finished medicine on Hong Kong Island, such as a pill such as Kidney Treasure, maybe you can become a family of pharmacists on Hong Kong Island. ”

Chu Xiangqian's eyes really lit up this time.

I am really willing to help the country, even free of charge.

But deep down, I know that giving too many free things is actually very dangerous for me.

On the contrary, it is exchange and doing business that is the long-term way.

And things like Kidney Treasure, let alone now, are after the emergence of many scientific and technological drugs in the future, the sales volume has always been very high.

Now, at least among the Chinese in Southeast Asia, there must be a large market.

The more he thought about it, the more Chu Xiangqian felt that Qian Guotai's proposal was good.

Moreover, the pharmacy in the novice village may be able to synthesize medicines such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill.

Secretly, I will go to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials to try in a while, if it is feasible, this business can not only be done on Hong Kong Island, but also for Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Qian Guotai was also very happy when he saw that Chu Xiangqian agreed, and at the same time he was secretly relieved.

A person who asks others to pay is not a long-term way after all.

Only if both parties are in need, not only can the relationship be stronger, but Chu Qianqian will be more active and proactive when he sees that he has money to make.

"By the way, last time you said that the front door entered the courtyard three times, and the upper side has already issued you the title deed and house deed. There are also mailing salutes from your master, uncle, Yilintian and others, and we also arranged for your second uncle Xue Jianguo to move into that courtyard in person. ”
