370 It's not hard to make money

With these 5,250 tons of rice, it is equivalent to one and a half catties of rice per person in the capital.

Coupled with the previous grain order, the pressure can be much less at once.

However, I was afraid that the boss would give some of the grain planned to the capital and no longer transport it to the capital, thinking of this, Xue Xiaomin had a headache again.

Xue Xueli knew better that as long as the 5,000 tons of rice landed at the Jinmen wharf, he might be taken away.

You can't enter the grain depot in the capital at all.

But sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing if something doesn't arrive.

At least for his father-in-law, he can get a lot of extra points.

Chu Qianqian glanced at Xue Jianrong, and suddenly said, "Big brother, have you ever thought about going to the local office?" ”

The three generations of the Xue family's ancestors and grandchildren were all stunned, and Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and said, "In order to cooperate with me, the upper authorities mobilized a company of people to garrison an island in the south.

No matter how severe the drought in the mainland is, I think it will only be a year or two at most.

In the past two years, I have smuggled one or two million catties of grain every month and put it in Dapeng Bay.

You have been stationed on Dongping Island for a year or two, and you have been able to send so much food to the troops in Nanguang every month, which can be regarded as a share, and it is not a small credit.

Also, with the experience of performing duties below, and then transferring back to the capital, the future future will be different. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin's eyes couldn't help but light up.

If Chu Xiangqian can really guarantee that he will get no less food than before every month, it is indeed a good thing to go out for a year or two.

If he can get more, it must be that he Xue Jianrong has enough status in Chu Xiangqian's heart, so he can get more food.

Xue Xiaomin looked at his father Xue Xueli, "Dad, is it feasible to say it forward?" ”

Old man Xue thought about it, nodded with a smile and said, "I'll go to the old leader and ask, by the way, I have already told you about the abduction of my precious granddaughter." ”

Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo didn't react for a while, but Chu Xiangqian and Xue Xiaomin knew as soon as they heard that this was telling the top.

Let Xue Jianrong, Chu Xiangqian's brother-in-law, go to Dongping Island to garrison, not only Chu Xiangqian will be more assured, maybe he can get more things.

"Forward, what about me?"

Chu Xiangqian looked at Xue Jianguo unexpectedly, "No, second brother, you honestly stay by the old man, grandma, and uncle and aunt to fulfill your filial piety, which is the most important task for you now."

When the eldest brother is transferred back to Beijing, you still want to go out to exercise, and naturally no one will stop you. ”

At this time, the three generations of the Xue family agreed with Quacchu forward, and then looked at Xue Jianguo, who was depressed, "Okay, you will only be 25 in two years, it is better to take advantage of these two years to find a daughter-in-law, and then add Ding to the Xue family." ”

Xue Jianguo pointed at Xue Jianrong and said, "The eldest brother is 26 years old and has not been married, and he will be 28 years old in two years." If he doesn't get married, the girl won't look down on him. ”

Chu Xiangqian almost laughed, and immediately stopped talking, letting the three generations of grandparents fight for each other.

Anyway, Xiao Lan'er is 18 this year and can get married and get a license.

If you go to Hong Kong Island, no one cares about getting married at 16.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came out of the study, and the old lady was busy letting her daughter-in-law and granddaughter go to hot dishes.

Xue Hongmei and Qiu Xicheng have already returned to work.

The ancestors of the Xue family ate very sweetly, but Chu Xiangqian just ate a piece of sweet potato, and he couldn't eat it after eating some food.

In Hong Kong Island and London, I am accustomed to eating big fish, big meat and fine grains, and then I can't swallow the throat-pulling wowotou.

"By the way, I heard from your leader, you also got a batch of salmon and salmon for you?"

When Chu Xiangqian heard Xue Xueli say this, he couldn't help but curse his direct leader in his heart.

Then he came back to his senses, it should be the big leader or even the leader of the big inside, who took the initiative to tell Old Man Xue.

I couldn't help but silently wonder what it meant.

Xue Xueli saw that he frowned and didn't speak, so he smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it all day, the top should want to thank you, but it's not easy to say it clearly."

After all, you are no longer in the establishment, and some rewards are not easy to issue to you. Just let me, old fellow, say hi to you first.

Of course, if you are not embarrassed by it, you also want to buy more good things that can supplement nutrition and are easy to store, and send them to the northwest. ”

Chu Xiangqian was relieved at this time, just some food, it was really not difficult for him.

Even with his current identity and network, even if the British know about it, they won't trouble themselves.

"I have to find a way to get some milk powder, and it is not difficult to get dried fish and dried meat. But the problem is, although I am making a lot of money in the import and export business, no matter how much I earn, I can't subsidize the mainland at a loss every month, right? ”

Xue Jianguo nodded hurriedly in agreement, and almost said that Chu Xiangqian had to subsidize the first two or three million Hong Kong dollars of materials every month.

Xue Xueli sighed, "Now there is a shortage of everything in the mainland, and there are few things that can be exported."

Moreover, tea, wine, porcelain, light textiles, canned food and other agricultural products have long been collaborators.

If I suddenly give you all the things, even if the top agrees, the bottom will not agree. ”

Chu Xiangqian was also very helpless about this, and after thinking about it, he said, "What about weapons?" ”

Xue Xueli was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Xiangqian's gaze with some warning.

Chu Xiangqian smiled awkwardly, if he could export a large number of them and sell them at a high price, it seemed that he would be an armament.

But it's not that he doesn't have no way to make money, and he can't become the focus of various countries because of a little money, and he is listed as a troublemaker.

Besides, if you want to buy arms, just go directly to the Yue Nan people.

If the money is in place, the South Vietnamese side will be able to buy arms aided by the Americans.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and finally said helplessly, "I want 40,000 bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios." Funds are settled in Hong Kong dollars or pounds, and the settlement bank is Standard Chartered.

The goods were transported to Hong Kong Island, and on the return trip, they were loaded with grain and the dried meat and fish I had collected. ”

Xue Xueli swallowed his saliva after hearing this, not to mention Xue Xiaomin, Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo.

Excluding the ticket, according to 188 per bicycle, it is 1.88 million.

Radios and watches are basically in their 40s to 60s, and if the average is 50, 20,000 is 1 million.

The sewing machine is about 100 yuan, and all of them add up, which is 3.88 million Heavenly Dynasty coins.

Xue Xueli couldn't sit still any longer, got up and walked to the living room to make a phone call.

Then he said to Chu Qianqian, "Come with me, let's go see your leader." ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, and said with a smile to Xue Jinglan, who was worried, "Don't worry, since I decided that I had to marry you, I still praised a lot of family backgrounds, and there is a Standard Chartered Bank."

In the future, even if I fail to do business abroad and lose a mess, you and your children have two million pounds worth of gold, which is enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives? ”

"Much, how much?"

Xue Jianguo stammered when he spoke, and the others also looked at Chu Xiangqian dumbfounded.

Chu glanced at everyone forward, since they were all daughters-in-law's close relatives, and since they planned to import a large number of industrial products from the mainland.

Then revealing some assets can also reassure the elders.

Besides, the gold and Β£570,000 in cash that he had in Standard Chartered did not intend to be hidden all the time.

"2 million pounds for gold, that's 4.85 tons. Replaced with small yellow croaker, 153,846 pieces.

In Hong Kong dollars, 2.57 million pounds, a full 41.12 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"You, you", Xue Xiaomin, the old man, could no longer bear it and pointed at Chu Xiangqian, "You have only been on Hong Kong Island for half a year, how can you earn so much foreign exchange?" ”

Chu shrugged forward, "It's not difficult to make money. Besides, if I didn't have faith, how could I let Lan Lan be alone in the capital, but I had to go to Hong Kong Island? ”

Xue Jinglan's face turned red all of a sudden, but her heart was very sweet.

And Chu Xiangqian said that it is not difficult to make money, which directly makes the old and young of the Xue family want to beat him.

Xue Jianguo came back to his senses and subconsciously muttered, "I'll just say how did you kid buy a 31-meter-long yacht of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars."

It turns out that 500,000 is really just a drop in the bucket for you. ”

"What?"

The Xue family was shocked again.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Xue Jianguo, and then took Xue Jinglan's hand, "When we get married, I'll take you on the yacht, and we'll make a boat all the way from Jinmen to Hong Kong Island."

If you go to another country for another month, it will be considered a honeymoon. ”

The family watched Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan sprinkle dog food, the old lady and Tan Youli smiled very kindly, and the expressions of the four men of the Xue family were a little bad.

Old man Xue snorted coldly, "Why don't you leave quickly and let your leader wait for you, like words?" ”

Chu shrugged forward, winked at Xue Jinglan, and said hello to the old lady and the others, and then followed Old Man Xue to meet the big leader.

What should have been said in the Xue family has been said almost, repeating that he wants 40,000 bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios.

The big leader was really the same as Old Man Xue, and his eyebrows were raised excitedly.

Don't look at the domestic production of 28 bars for more than half a year, but it is not difficult to temporarily mobilize 10,000 vehicles.

It's just that this batch has been given to Chu Qianqian and backwards, and the domestic two-eight bars will definitely be out of stock for a short time.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this.

Besides, as soon as the big leader said what currency to settle in, Chu Xiangqian just said that Hong Kong dollars and pounds are fine, and immediately made the big leader excitedly call the head of Ouchi on the spot.

What people didn't expect was that the chief actually said that he would invite Chu Xiangqian to have a meal with Xue Xueli and the big leader in the evening, and then talk about it in detail.

At the same time, I would like to thank Chu Xiangqian for the 180 tons of salmon and salmon that were shipped back to the mainland ahead of schedule.

β€”β€”

At night, Ouchi.

Chu Qianqian, who entered this place for the first time, was extremely honest. It's even a bit of a non-squinting feeling.

Xue Xueli and the big leader, who often come here, couldn't help but be happy, and secretly said that this kid finally had a time to be afraid.

There is nothing to say about the dinner dish, four dishes and one soup and one fried salmon.

After finishing the meal, Chu Xiangqian silently followed the chief and the others into a conference room.

After chatting a lot about life first, Chu Xiangqian glanced at Xue Xueli, whose face had darkened, and the chief couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this.

No longer embarrassed, I turned to the question of how to pay for import and export goods.

Chu Xiangqian was naturally willing to use Standard Chartered as the settlement bank, and the chief thought about it and agreed, after all, many external payments in the Celestial Empire were also related to Standard Chartered.

In the end, it was negotiated to use the pound sterling as the settlement currency, but in this way, Chu Xiangqian was unwilling to buy bicycles and other things at the sales price in the mainland market.

A bicycle of 180 and 190 Tianchao coins was directly cut to 120 by Chu Xiangqian, which was converted into 25.8 US dollars and 6.45 pounds.

10,000 28 bars, only 64,500 pounds.

Chu Xiangqian almost wanted to say, bring me 1 million.

The sewing machine is Β£3.25, and the watch and radio are both Β£2.5.

The sum of 40,000 pieces is only 147,000 pounds equivalent to 2.352 million Hong Kong dollars.

And Chu Xiangqian bought 5,250 tons of rice, 2.31 million Hong Kong dollars.

In this way, the chief and the big leader, Xue Xueli suddenly found that Chu Xiangqian only needed to pay 42,000 yuan to take out 40,000 industrial products.

The chief sighed, "I originally planned to ask for 120 tons of salmon and 60 tons of salmon sent by Xiao Chu in vain.

There are also 15,000 catties of cherries, bayberry, peaches and tens of thousands of Nanyang coconuts.

Now it seems that it can only be owed first. ”

Chu hurriedly waved his hand forward, "Leader, I can only send this batch of salmon and salmon."

Next month's share of purchases has been used to offset part of the purchase costs with Indian grain merchants.

If the 40,000 pieces of industrial products are sold in India this time, they will be okay.

Maybe the money I earn in the next three to five months will be able to offset the expenses I have given to grain merchants in China in the past few times. ”

The chief laughed, "Then I wish us a long time in this business." ”

Xue Xueli and the big leader nodded in agreement, while Chu Xiangqian hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that it was a big deal for Lao Tzu to make less money and fight a price war with India's local bicycle, sewing machine, watch and radio factories.

Even if you don't make money, you have to snatch their market share, and squeeze them to death at the end.

No, if you can run India's light industrial factories to death, it will be worth losing 500,000 or 1 million pounds.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian made up his mind and said, "Don't worry, chief, even if I lose money, I will first squeeze India's bicycle factories out of the market."

When the time comes、、、。 ”

"Wait", the big leader directly interrupted Chu Xiangqian's words, "Xiao Chu, your idea is very dangerous, we are going to do business, not to damage other people's industries."

This is important. ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Ah San, who has been going to the past ten years, has a relationship with the Celestial Empire that is actually okay. In a sense, the two sides still cooperate with each other in some things.

Moreover, the people of this era are very different from Chu Xiangqian decades later in many concepts.

It can even be said that it is not on one channel at all.

Chu shrugged forward, "Then fight with them for the quality of the product." Or, after opening the Indian market. I will focus on Southeast Asian countries, South Korea, and island countries.

We sell things cheaper, and the quality is not low, there is no reason not to make money? ”

Chu Xiangqian said this in his mouth, but he didn't change his mind in his heart.

Anyway, I definitely wouldn't have personally entered the Indian market and sold bicycles and other things to Linda's father and businessmen in Odisha.

It doesn't matter what price they sell at what price.

There is no need to even take the initiative to fight a price war, as long as it snatches a part of the market from several surrounding states of Orisha State, which is enough to suppress the market share of related factories in India.

In disguise, it is equivalent to compressing their sales and profits.

After a few years, it is likely that it will not be able to bear it.
