When Chu Xiangqian was purchasing grain last year, he was still staring at Luzon and Tianzhu at the beginning, and he only went to Panama in the second half of the year, so he only purchased 2 million tons of grain last year.

From January to November this year, there are about 4 million tons.

It is equivalent to him buying back five or six million tons of grain alone. If it is calculated according to catties, it is equivalent to supplying tens of billions of catties.

So now Chu Xiangqian said that he could support tens of thousands of tons of grain for Xue Jinglan's uncle Xue Xiaoyi.

In the eyes of Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin's father and son, it is not surprising at all.

And tens of thousands of tons of grain, the Xue family's father and son don't want to grab it with Xue Xiaoyi now.

Only the thousands of tons of sea fish, salted dried fish, one or two thousand cattle and sheep, and a few hundred quart horses, attracted the attention of their father and son.

The father and son glanced at each other, obviously thinking about how to share some of the profits.

In Xue Xiaoyi's eyes, Chu Xiangqian is a super invincible God of Wealth.

With these tens of thousands of tons of grain and cattle, sheep and horses, when he went to the rear to engage in construction, he would not have to worry about the rations of the soldiers.

Pulling Chu forward, he wanted to discuss whether he could avoid the top and transport the grain directly to the south, and he would take it to the southwest by himself.

Chu looked forward at Xue Xiaoyi like a fool, don't look at tens of thousands of tons of grain, one or two thousand cattle and sheep and hundreds of quart horses, compared to the three or four hundred tons of grain transported back from Panama every month, the amount is very small.

But as soon as these hundreds of thousands of tons of grain were brought back, they were taken over by the higher-ups. The people below are only red-eyed, and even many local bigwigs don't know about these grains.

In other words, not to mention tens of thousands of tons of grain, even if it is thousands of tons or hundreds of tons of grain, it is life-saving food worth fighting for for the heads and brains below.

If this batch of materials goes to the south, it will definitely be robbed.

Even if it is like the last time when thousands of cattle and sheep and hundreds of horses were transported by the military, they would soon be known by the military as soon as they were put ashore for safekeeping.

When the time comes, when I hear that the things are being transported to Xue Xiaoyi and brought to the southwest, those bigwigs will ignore him and intercept most of them as a regimental commander.

In the end, Xue Xiaoyi was able to get one-tenth of the supplies, which can be regarded as the bigwigs, who scrupled that he got the things back.

And Chu Xiangqian doesn't want to be too high-profile now, but if it is clear that these grains, cattle and sheep are purchased by the government in the south, then things will be much easier.

He can completely follow the path of the Kadoorie family, give them 5% or 8% of the profits, and they will take over the grain, cattle and sheep, and then transfer them to the officials in the south.

The Kadoorie family will definitely not refuse this, and the thousands of cattle and sheep last time were their relationship.

Although Chu Xiangqian let the Kadoorie family change hands and get a 7% commission, he also let himself hide behind the scenes.

Moreover, judging from the complex relationship between humanitarianism and Hong Kong Island and the mainland, just to help purchase food, even if the baby Guoyan knew, he would only turn a blind eye.

In fact, as Chu Xiangqian expected, the last time thousands of cattle and sheep were traded, the Hong Kong government and London did not trouble the Kadoorie family.

The reason is simple, firstly, the Kadoorie family is also related in London.

Not to mention on Hong Kong Island, the relationship between the old and the famous family has always been not shallow.

There are really few local families on Hong Kong Island who can really compare.

Even in London, Jiazhili's wealth can be ranked, and with nearly 100 years of operation, it is only a matter of food, which is basically difficult to help Jiazhili.

Second, this year is the third year that the Celestial Empire has been affected by disasters, and since the year before the Celestial Empire, there have actually been many places in the Celestial Empire where grain harvests have failed.

Although the area affected by the disaster this year has decreased compared with last year, there has been a shortage of grain for three consecutive years, and it is conceivable how much demand for grain within the Celestial Empire is.

If the Celestial Empire is forced to be urgent, there is nothing that can be done against the Magnesium Country, which is far away, but it is not difficult to deal with Xiangjiang and the Infant Guoyan, who are close at hand.

There is no need to use force, only 20% of the water entering Hong Kong Island can be reduced, and Hong Kong Island can fall into a state of water shortage.

If it affects people's livelihood, ordinary people will definitely be dissatisfied.

There are so many factories on Hong Kong Island, once there is a shortage of water, not only will the capital be damaged, but the taxes collected by the baby Guoyan will also be reduced.

At that time, even if the baby Guoyan has a hard mouth, he can only last for ten days and half a month at most.

Of course, the mainland uses Hong Kong Island as a window, and the annual export of goods is basically around 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Maintaining stability on Hong Kong Island is also beneficial to the Celestial Empire.

As soon as he heard that Chu Xiangqian actually asked the Kadoorie family to cover up, the eyes of the Xue family's father and son all lit up.

Xue Xueli even complained about Chu Xiangqian, why didn't he tell his head about it earlier.

Chu shrugged his shoulders forward, he wanted to complain a few words, but after thinking about it, this was an excellent opportunity to complain.

"Since May this year, there has been no money from the top to pay for the food I get back from outside every month.

Since the large amount of money of 12 million US dollars a month is offset by the use of bald eagle watches, and light industrial products such as bicycles and radios.

The remaining tens of millions of dollars are owed.

The Kadoorie family took 7% of the total value of thousands of cows, sheep and hundreds of horses last time, and it didn't make sense to tell the higher-ups.

And I also gave 300,000 tons of grain for nothing, but I didn't expect that the boss is so short of money now, and there is still no money for me since June.

I just want to wait for the drought in the Celestial Empire to end, and the 60 million dollars owed to me will be repaid slowly.

If the drought doesn't end next year, maybe the amount of arrears will exceed 100 million. ”

The three of the Xue family, father and son, were suddenly shocked, even if it was an official exchange rate, 100 million US dollars would cost 256 million Heavenly Dynasty coins.

If it is in the black market, it is not difficult to have five or six hundred million, seven or eight billion.

Of course, the black market can't actually eat such a huge amount of foreign exchange, but even 256 million is a real astronomical amount for individuals.

Thinking about the total amount of goods exported to Hong Kong Island by the Celestial Empire last year, it was only a little more than 1 billion, and if you want to repay the money owed to Chu Xiangqian, it is equivalent to giving Chu Xiangqian all the profits from exports to Hong Kong in the next year, or even two years, in order to repay this arrears.

In an instant, the three members of the Xue family, father and son, all had the idea of repaying their debts.

Fortunately, this kind of thinking is only for a moment, everyone is not stupid, and the disadvantages of dishonesty far outweigh the benefits.

And Chu Qianqian has only been on Hong Kong Island for two years.

In other words, he has only been in business for less than 2 years, but he can already bear it, and his $10 million a month is idle without affecting his business.

It can be seen that this kid can make at least more than $10 million a month, otherwise, the business will not be able to sustain.

Thinking of his own girl and marrying Chu Xiangqian, the father and son of the Xue family were suddenly full of pride.

This is no longer the golden beetle's son-in-law, but the son-in-law of the God of Wealth.

Xue Xueli sighed, but he was silently worried about Chu Xiangqian or Xue Jinglan's body.

Xue Jinglan has been married into the Chu family for more than a year, but her stomach has not moved, not only the father and son of the Xue family have begun to worry in their hearts.

The old lady and mother-in-law also hinted at Xue Jinglan today.

Only Chu Xiangqian didn't know anything about it, but he knew his own affairs, not that he was infertile, but that he didn't want to be a father so early.

Fortunately, he is actually planning to wait until next year to consider the issue of heirs.

Xue Xueli didn't know if the problem was Chu Xiangqian or Xue Jinglan, so naturally he wouldn't ask Chu Xiangqian's child now.

At least ask Xue Jinglan about this matter first.

After thinking about it, he said to Chu Xiangqian, "I have to report to the top immediately about the Kadoorie family helping you to cover up."

It's a new channel, and maybe one day it'll be available.

And with what I know about this family, maybe there will be more opportunities for cooperation. ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded after listening, as long as the interests are sufficient, the capitalists on Hong Kong Island don't care about what the baby country thinks.

Xue Xueli then said, "As for the money owed to you, we will definitely pay you back slowly in the future when we have enough money." ”

After speaking, he was silent for a few seconds, sighed slightly and continued, "With my understanding of several leaders, the money will definitely be repaid, and even the interest will not be less for you." ”

Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he was suffering from poverty, and it was very useful to complain about his grievances.

The three of the Xue family's father and son smiled when they saw Chu Xiangqian, knowing what this kid was thinking. Dark Dao Chu is good at everything, but he is a little too careful.

Sometimes he is too philistine, and he will seem to have no foresight, but Chu Xiangqian doesn't care, and he doesn't follow the official career.

It is a big no-no to have unclear business accounts.

Xue Xueli is a person who came from the war period, and he understands better than ordinary people that no matter what Chu Xiangqian's personality is, no one can erase his merits for the Celestial Empire.

So some drawbacks, totally acceptable.

As for Chu Xiangqian's selfless dedication, to be honest, even if Xue Xueli is faceless and skinless, he is not embarrassed to say that Chu Xiangqian will lose tens of millions of dollars.

This is not only not in line with the character and style of these old men, but it will also chill the hearts of people like Chu Xiangqian.

After sending all the guests away, Chu Xiangqian sat alone on the bench under the eaves, smoking a Great Wall cigar, while thinking about whether he simply donated the 60 million US dollars?

Of course, the money owed can also be slowly repaid with light industrial products, anyway, now bicycles, watches, and radios are very good in Tianzhu.

Coupled with the bald eagle watch, in a year, Chu Xiangqian's imports of these light industrial products from the Celestial Empire also cost two or three hundred million dollars.

Even if the Celestial Empire owes it, it will be able to repay it with light industrial products in a few years.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian still gave the Celestial Empire some profit space, otherwise it would be killing chickens and taking eggs, which would not be beneficial to Chu Xiangqian and the Celestial Empire.

Chu Xiangqian silently looked at the cash stored in the warehouse in the novice village, and then calculated the dollars he had stored in Standard Chartered Bank, which should add up to 88.68 million US dollars.

Hong Kong dollars are about 80 or 90 million, and if you add the 10 million managed by Xue Jinglan, it will be about 100 million.

The pound is about 7.2 million.

The largest value is naturally 78.7 tons of gold, as well as treasures found from Tianzhu.

Of this gold, 38.7 tons were earned from dwarves and elves.

Of the remaining 40.3 tons, 20 tons were 20 tons of gold that the Celestial Empire had pledged in advance to him as payment for the purchase of grain.

20.3 tons was bought by Chu Xiangqian privately in the past two years, or made money by speculating in gold futures.

Moreover, before speculating in gold futures, the Celestial Empire handed over the 20 tons of gold to Chu Xiangqian in advance, so that he earned about 13 tons of gold from two speculations in the gold futures market.

This is also one of the reasons why Chu Xiangqian is now willing to let the Celestial Empire owe money.

If you are really in need, when you ask for the Celestial Empire, the higher authorities will really help you.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian's mind is also very clear, the greater his role, the better he will protect himself.

Otherwise, if you talk about kindness and righteousness with the country, whoever talks about it is a fool.

As for Tianzhu's treasure, Chu Xiangqian really couldn't calculate how much it was worth.

The 340 pure gold seats inlaid with dozens or hundreds of jewels and diamonds, and the 18 pure gold thrones alone weigh 24 tons.

120 3-metre-long chains of pure gold, each averaging 30 kilograms, are another 3.6 tonnes.

560 gold bars of various shapes, roughly 20 kilograms each, and another 11.2 tons.

There are also 230,000 gold coins of Napoleon, 140,000 gold coins of the Roman Empire, and 280 gold coins of Venetian from the 17th century.

1730 gold bottles, plates, golden pagodas, scepters, golden coconuts.

It is simply impossible to calculate the true value.

A few decades later, a Venetian gold coin was only a few hundred thousand dollars, and a Poleon gold coin in good condition was tens of thousands of dollars.

There are also all kinds of jewelry diamonds in boxes, and it can be said that the valuation of pure gold jewelry is astronomical.

Not to mention that these treasures are all antiques that are at least a few hundred years old, and their value can be multiplied several times in a moment.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian had the confidence to chase the Celestial Empire to repay the money.

And every month's food is all given to the Chicago mafia, and Pablo is exchanged for 3% of the commission after transporting cash out of the country.

In other words, this money is too easy to come by, and it will not affect your cash flow at all, so it will naturally not affect your business.

That's why Chu Xiangqian had the idea of donating all the $60 million in arrears to the top.

But after smoking half a cigar, he quickly rejected the plan.

It is natural to repay the money if you owe money, and you can repay the money immediately without chasing the Celestial Empire, but this account has always existed.

In the long run, it would be a good thing to let the Celestial Empire owe itself 10 or 20 years.

First, there is no shortage of money, and there is no need to rush to recover the money to relieve the financial pressure, or invest in other projects.

Second, if you owe it all the time, the upper echelons of the Celestial Empire will always remember this account and this great favor.

If you owe 20 years until the reopening, there is not much pressure on the Celestial Empire to repay the money, and you will enter the mainland to do business by yourself, as long as you don't violate the rules and don't die, you will definitely have a smooth journey.

Even this money was owed for 30 years, and in the 90s, the money he earned from the Celestial Empire alone was kept several times or ten times the amount owed.

And the billions of dollars in the 90s, I definitely will not ask the Celestial Empire to repay in cash, but invest in real estate and various companies that will rise in the future.

In the new millennium, the return is likely to be tens of billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars.

Not to mention anything else, just since the 8th and 90s, buying land and building buildings in the magic capital, Beijing, and Shenzhen has been dozens or even hundreds of times the return.

Thinking about it this way, letting the Celestial Empire owe money to him at this time is equivalent to buying a future.

If the boss is really willing to pay interest, the interest alone may cost twenty or thirty million Celestial Dynasty coins every year.
