565 weakens opponents
Chu Xiangqian had heard of the desert tyrant's way of eating camels and sheep, sheep and chickens or geese, and then goose eggs, but when he really saw it, he was still a little shocked.
At the same time, I also know that this is the highest courtesy given by the Hajak family.
As for whether it is delicious or not, it completely depends on the stuffy goose meat with sauce, but I didn't expect it to taste good.
It was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening after dinner, and Chu Xiangqian was chatting with Bagwo, Singh, father and son, and the three sweaty horse owners.
Because I can understand the local language, I don't have any problems communicating at all.
And his deliberate move to learn the local language also made everyone very happy.
Some problems were solved as we spoke.
It didn't take long for a verbal agreement to order a contract for another 100,000 bicycles, 100,000 radios, and 50,000 watches.
At first, the business was only negotiated with Bagwo and Singh, but when it came to 10,000 tons of rice per month, the business expanded to seven or eight local magnates.
Then these people partnered to buy a male, two females, and three sweaty horses.
As for the sewing machine, as Chu Xiangqian estimated before, the desktop sewing machine is not liked by the Tianzhu people who like to sit on the ground.
Chu Xiangqian thought about it and forgot it, anyway, the sewing machine is actually the least profitable, and if it is not sold, it will not be sold.
The watch is 50,000 yuan more than the first order, the total contract amount has become larger, and the money I can earn is more.
After negotiating the contract for the bike, radio and watch, we talked about sweat and blood immediately.
The three horse owners who bought one male, two females and three sweaty horses now want to buy a few more sweaty mares at a price of 70,000 pounds, Chu Xiangqian changed the topic without thinking about it.
If it weren't for the fact that this was Tianzhu and someone else's territory, he would have refused directly.
Bagwo and Singh, father and son, as well as 3 partners, also know that the sweat and blood horse in Chu Xiangqian's hands is now priced at more than 100,000 pounds.
I regret that I couldn't grit my teeth and buy a few more horses last year, but I also know that regret is useless.
I can only talk about food.
Chu Xiangqian was interested when he heard that he could provide 20,000 tons of rice every month in the future.
The order negotiated with Bagwo and Singh was 10,000 tons of rice per month, and the price was 0.22 Hong Kong dollars per catty of rice.
This price is naturally much more expensive than wheat, but the price of rice and wheat is inherently different.
Moreover, when wheat is ground into powder, it is lost.
Hulled rice is different, how many catties are bought, and how many catties are transported to the Celestial Empire for use.
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian looked at everyone and asked, "Can I understand that 10,000 plus 20,000 tons will sell me 30,000 tons of grain every month in the future?" ”
Bagwo hurriedly shook his head, "Just 20,000 tons, the price is still 3.2 pence a pound, which is equivalent to 0.22 Hong Kong dollars a catty." ”
Chu Xiangqian wanted more, but unfortunately he also knew that these Tianzhu people in front of him, to put it bluntly, were some local snakes, and at most they had some influence in Orisha and several surrounding states.
In the previous five months, 50,000 tons of rice had forced them to purchase rice from other places.
However, although it has not been able to increase to 30,000 tons, it can earn about 15% of 20,000 tons per month.
Not to mention, selling to the Celestial Empire can also save many people.
20,000 tons is 8.8 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 550,000 pounds.
Chu Xiangqian silently calculated the 2.12 million pounds he still had in his hand.
The reason why there are so many pounds is because in the past few months, selling tiger bone wine and deer glue to Norton, directly earning 860,000 pounds.
plus the sale of another white tiger made Philips 300,000 pounds.
And since you have business dealings with England, you still need to keep some pounds in hand.
Lest you have to convert US dollars or Hong Kong dollars into pounds sterling if necessary.
This has accumulated 2.12 million.
Add another £80,000 to buy 4 batches, or 80,000 tons of rice.
Chu Xiangqian secretly said that it was not cost-effective, after all, 2.2 million pounds converted into US dollars is 8.8 million, and he can buy 227,000 tons of wheat from the magnesium country.
I was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered that if there was no accident in Tianzhu in 62 next year, he should still take the initiative to provoke the Celestial Empire, and even take the initiative to provoke a war.
Once the war begins, both the Celestial Empire and Tianzhu will have to consider logistical issues.
The more grain Tianzhu produces this year, the more it is bought, the less potential they have to start a war next year.
Moreover, Odisha is located in the central and eastern part of Tianzhu, and several surrounding states are equivalent to the central and northern parts of Tianzhu.
Next year, it will be even more difficult to mobilize military rations.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian agreed without hesitation.
And the second batch of 100,000 bicycles, 100,000 radios, 50,000 watches are in the order.
The bicycle was sold to Tianzhu for a unit price of 12 pounds, and 100,000 units were 1.2 million.
The price of the radio and the watch is the same, it is 10 pounds, which is again 1.5 million.
The 2.7 million only needs to add 50,000 pounds to purchase five batches of rice, a full 100,000 tons.
This matter was reported to the second elder, and I believe that in his eyes, he would never think that he should not purchase these rice.
Not to mention, you can eat the same rice when you buy it, which can solve the problem of food shortage.
Seeing Chu Xiangqian agree, Bagwo, Singh and several other Tianzhu people turned happy.
Their thinking, as when purchasing the first batch of light industrial goods, is that they do not want to pay in cash.
And by exchanging rice, you can also make a fortune on the purchase of rice.
Now it has increased to 20,000 tons per month, which is basically the same as the previous idea, by the way, slightly lower the price of sweaty horses, and purchase a few sweaty horses from Chu Xiangqian.
Negotiations went exceptionally well, with a second batch of bikes, radios and watches totalling £2.7 million.
100,000 tonnes of rice was 2.75 million tonnes.
If he bought 3 more sweaty mares, Chu Xiangqian would only need 275,000 pounds, and the unit price would be 92,000 pounds.
In the end, Chu Xiangqian had to be given 110,000 tons of rice. However, the freight had to be paid by Bagwo and others, and after all the calculations, Chu Xiangqian actually did not suffer a loss.
The first delivery of 30,000 tons of grain, followed by 20,000 tons per month, the same contract period is 5 months.
After the negotiation, it was just drinking and chatting, and before I knew it, it was 11 o'clock, and everyone dispersed.
returned to the annex building specially reserved for Chu Xiangqian, Linda, Alyssa, and Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Billy, and Tony Jia's three bodyguards.
As soon as Chu Qianqian entered the building, Zhang Tianzhi walked over quickly and whispered, "Boss, I just saw that there are more than twenty male servants in the manor, and they have distributed rifles to patrol around. ”
Chu Qianqian nodded, the had already discovered this.
Just by looking through the and seeing these manservants patrolling under the walls on several high ground in the manor, I knew that it might not be peaceful here.
But Chu Qianqian didn't care, as long as it wasn't a tank driving over, even if there were a hundred or so enemies, it would be a food delivery.
Back in the room, I wanted to make out with Linda and Alisa.
Unexpectedly, when I went up to the second floor, I actually saw that in addition to Linda and Elisa, there were two little girls who looked young and beautiful, and stood up with Linda and Alisa with a blushing face and saluted to themselves.
Chu Xiangqian secretly said, could it be these two, which Linda said when she was on Hong Kong Island, and wanted to introduce them to her cousins, right?
Sure enough, when Linda and Alyssa stepped forward and took off their suit jackets, they whispered, "Honey, their names are Lina and Lia.
If you nod your head, they'll both stay here tonight.
When I get back to Hong Kong Island, I'll buy them another set across the street from the house where Alyssa and I live. ”
Chu glanced at Linda forward, "Forget it, there are enough women around me." ”
Alyssa said indifferently, "If you don't take them away, their parents don't have enough dowry to dowry, and when they are in their husband's house, they may not even be as good as servants." ”
Chu Qianqian secretly said, what does this have to do with him.
But after thinking about it, it is not easy to get a dowry, and $10,000 per person is enough for their dowry.
But thinking about it, the two of them don't seem to be worth the price.
Linda probably guessed Chu Xiangqian's thoughts, "Give them money and let them stay with you for a while, it's better to buy them a house on Hong Kong Island, and then help me and Alyssa."
Besides, when they get used to life on Hong Kong Island, they can help my Alyssa with business.
They work for a salary, and they can usually serve you. No matter how bad it is, after ten or eight years, they have saved enough money, whether it is to live on Hong Kong Island or to return to their hometown. ”
Chu Xiangqian glanced at Linda in surprise, but saw her with a wry smile, "It's better than being disliked by their husband's family after they get married, or even being beaten and scolded by their mother-in-law all day long." ”
Alisa on the side also echoed, "Just let them accompany them for three or five years, and you give them a house on Hong Kong Island." ”
Chu Xiangqian was moved, but after thinking about it, if he really followed him for three or five years, not to mention how deep his feelings were, at least he would not want them to marry again at that time.
In this way, don't you raise them for a lifetime?
It's better to do good deeds and accompany yourself for a period of time during your stay in Tianzhu.
When I got back to Hong Kong Island, I forgot about it.
"How much does their dowry cost?"
Linda and Alyssa naturally knew Chu Xiangqian's thoughts, but they didn't dare to refute Chu Xiangqian's decision.
I can only honestly say, "Two or three thousand pounds can prepare a decent dowry." ”
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think of the news he had seen on the Internet decades later, when Tianzhu married his daughter with an average dowry of 6 to 130,000 US dollars.
That's about $3,000 to $6,000 today.
Two or three thousand pounds is equivalent to $8,000 to $12,000 at this time, which is already well above the average.
The dowry would indeed be very decent.
I was about to agree, which was to give Linda and Alisa a face, but I didn't want Linda to roll her eyes, and suddenly said, "Honey, otherwise, we won't mention letting their sisters follow you."
How about simply taking the two of them to Hong Kong Island to help me, and we can pay them salaries? ”
Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Linda meant.
Since he didn't want to accept the two sisters, Linda, who was a cousin, simply took them to work on Hong Kong Island.
In three or five years, it may not be easy to earn three or five thousand pounds on your own, but it is not difficult to support yourself at all.
This is the same as Linda's reluctance to marry casually and go out to work hard by herself.
Chu Xiangqian naturally had no opinion on this.
Anyway, the export of Tianzhu's light industrial products, and Tianzhu's import to Hong Kong Island, and then to the grain of the Celestial Empire, are all Linda's responsibility.
She asked two cousins to go to Hong Kong Island to help her, but Chu Xiangqian was more at ease.
One is kinship, which is generally more trustworthy than outsiders.
Second, Lina and Liya went to Hong Kong Island, and they were not familiar with each other, so they could only rely on Linda and Alisa, as well as their brother-in-law.
Thirdly, just the work of some assistants can also reduce Linda's workload. Let her focus more on the Force.
Seeing Chu nodding forward, Linda and Alisa's faces were happy, and they secretly said that they would go to Hong Kong Island and let Lina and Liya dress up well, maybe they would be able to win the favor of their men one day.
As for why they have to give women to their men, anyway, in Linda and Alisa's hearts, they have seen too many men marrying multiple wives since they were children, so they naturally don't care much about it.
The night passed quickly, and Chu Xiangqian didn't touch Lina and Liya, but forgot to let the two of them leave the small building.
So in the eyes of Linda's relatives, the sisters are already Chu Xiangqian's people.
After Chu Xiangqian knew, he couldn't help glaring at Linda and Elisa, but the two of them just lowered their heads and covered their mouths and snickered, and Chu Xiangqian could only forget it.
After three days of playing around the Hajak family's manor and town, Chu Xiangqian naturally would not forget the purpose of coming to Tianzhu this time.
When Linda and Alisa said that they wanted to take him to temples and other scenic spots, Chu Xiangqian naturally agreed.
took Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Bili, Tony Jia, and the four servants of the Hajak family and the sisters Lina and Liya to the capital of Orisha, Chu Xiangqian simply spent $4,800 to buy 3 Jaguar cars.
Having your own car makes it much more convenient, and the new car is much more comfortable than the old car that the Hajak family has used for many years.
After three days of playing in Orisha, the convoy was not far from Andhra Pradesh next door.
It's just that to Chu Xiangqian's surprise, at this time, the road situation in the central state of Tianzhu is far from being as good as imagined. And the more central it is, the poorer it is.
The four Hajak servants repeatedly reminded them that it was never a good idea to go far away, and to travel far from state to country, with so many female dependents.
Chu Xiangqian instantly remembered that in the future news, Tianzhu was said to be a traitorous country.
Although he is not afraid, but four women, one of them will have an accident if it is not good.
I had to turn around and go back to the Hajak family's manor.
Chu thought about it for a while, at most he was tired, and took Linda and them back to Hong Kong Island.
Under the pretext of a business trip, he first flew to Kuala Lumpur or Xinjiapo, and then flew directly to Kerala in the southwest of Tianzhu with the identity of Peru.
After returning to Hong Kong Island, Chu Xiangqian first stayed on Hong Kong Island honestly for half a month.
During this period, Qian Guotai reported the second batch of orders for bicycles, radios, watches, and rice to the boss, while he handled the business affairs on Hong Kong Island and accompanied his daughter-in-law.
It only took three days for the boss to reply that the 110,000 tons of rice must be obtained.
As for the second batch of light industry orders, it is natural to continue.
and said that when he returned to the capital, the big leaders would invite him to dinner.
Chu Xiangqian said that he would forget about eating, so as not to disturb the leader's work, but his heart was very happy.
By the time he showed up in Kerala, it was already May.
