"I really can't see that this unknown jewelry store can mobilize more than 700,000 silver dollars in half a day...... It seems that this place does have money......"

Looking at the thick stack of Zhuang tickets on the table, as well as several large boxes of silver ingots and silver dollars, Wen Desi sighed slightly.

The place where they are now is a mansion that they bought only today. The original owner of this house is Cheng Donghe, the owner of Dasixi Jewelry Store. Boss Cheng has several houses in Neijiang, and when he heard that Wen Desi was going to buy a residence, he immediately gave up an idle house.

The house is about 8oo square meters in size and has a traditional courtyard structure. Originally, Boss Cheng gave his youngest son, but later his youngest son went to Japan to study, and the house was idle. Although it is idle, the servants inside are still there, and the daily cleaning and maintenance have not been pulled down. All kinds of furniture and supplies are complete, of course, there are no modern things.

Wen Desi and they moved in directly with empty hands.

This is a medium-sized courtyard house with two entrances, 5 rooms in the north room, 3 in the main room and 2 ears, 4 rooms in the east and west wings, and a corridor in front of the house to shelter from the wind and rain. In addition, the courtyard wall is separated by the front yard (outer courtyard) and the back yard (inner courtyard), and the courtyard wall is connected by a moon gate. The front yard is deep and shallow, with one or two houses as the gatehouse, the backyard is the living room, the building is exquisite, the square bricks in the courtyard are on the ground, and the bluestone is used as the steps.

Although this courtyard does not have modern high-tech facilities, in the face of such a traditional house, Wen Desi is still very satisfied. In his time, this authentic classical architecture was very valuable.

The gems sold this time are of course not natural gemstones, they are all artificial gems that Gu Xiaolu found from the decorations in the office building. In the eyes of people at this time, these artificial gems are all really high-grade gems. Coupled with the background of "foreign adults", the jewelry store does not dare to reduce the price too ruthlessly, and the price is more conscientious.

This batch of man-made gemstones sold for a total of 750,000 silver dollars, which is equivalent to about 54. 10,000 taels of silver, 7. £50,000, $370,000. The house, the land, and the furniture and supplies in it were discounted by a total of 3,000 silver dollars, and Wen Desi set aside another 20,000 yuan for the owner of Da Sixi to help buy some items and hire people. Now Wen Deji still has 650,000 banker tickets and 77,000 cash (ingots and silver dollars) in his hands.

Wen Deji thought for a while and said, "Xiaolu, Chromie, are they done?"

Gu Xiaolu looked at his watch and said, "Well, they still have about 2 hours to complete the knowledge indoctrination......

"When that's done, let them come over right away......" Wen Deji nodded.

The Chromie in his mouth, as well as the few retinues brought out this time, are all cyborgs who have just been completed. The cyborg concoction equipment that came with Wen Desi has a total of 4o medium-sized cultivation tanks, which can modulate 4o cyborgs or other medium-sized creatures at a time. The concoction time for ordinary cyborgs is 48 hours, and the concoction time for advanced cyborgs is 96 hours.

After the crossing, the modulation equipment is basically intact and does not affect the use, but the stored modulation nutrient solution is only 3o units, and it can only be used to make 3o biochemical people. Of course, even if there is no ready-made nutrient solution, it can be replaced with other materials. The system comes with a biochemical material converter that converts nutrients (such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other organic matter) and minerals from the outside world into a nutrient solution for preparation. In addition to the low efficiency, it does not affect the use.

However, this requires sufficient supplies. Among the materials that Boss Cheng asked to buy on behalf of him this time, there were a large number of grains and pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. In addition to eating, it is basically used as a raw material for biochemical humans.

Evening.

Cavour, who had been sent to the county office, returned.

Cavour said: "Mr. Wen, the county commander here has already agreed to our request to buy land, and he said that he will find a few landlords tomorrow to help us get things done...... It is an official place and can be handled at any time. ”

"Well, yes, how about the land price there?" Wen Deji nodded.

"As far as I know, the arable land over there is not very good, about 3o to 4o silver dollars a mu, and the slopes, wasteland, and tidal flats are about 1o to 15 yuan a mu......

Wen Desi thought for a while and said, "Well, the funds are not sufficient now, so I will buy the land near the base first, and then buy the peninsula together later." Just buy 3ooo acres first, remember to have a river bank, this place is inconvenient, and most of the materials will have to be transported by water in the future......"

"Yes, I'll go to them tomorrow to negotiate......"

The place where Wen Desi crossed was near the town of Baima in the west of the Neijiang River, which was called Menkantan, which was a small peninsula surrounded by the Tuojiang River on three sides, about 4 kilometers north and south, and about 1 east and west. 5 kilometers, the total area is about 6 square kilometers, that is, 10,000 acres. If you buy them all, it will cost about 3o million silver dollars, although the current funds are enough, but Wen Desi still has a lot to spend money, so he has to buy some of them first.

To be honest, Sichuan is really not a good place for farming exhibitions, although most of the resources here are not lacking, and the population is sufficient, but the traffic is too bad. "Shu Road is difficult" This is really not a joke, there is no railway in Sichuan in this era, and the highway is so poor that people are speechless.

If it weren't for the temporary inability to move the base of the office building, Wen Desi would never have chosen to farm here. Who let him cross the 6th place when it wasn't a coastal area? However, he should be glad that he did not travel to the desert, the polar regions, or the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

However, although Sichuan has the disadvantage of inconvenient transportation, it also has many benefits. It is located in the southwest, which is a relatively remote place, and the power of both the Qing court and the foreign powers is relatively weak, and the disturbance during the exhibition is much less than that of the coastal areas. Moreover, the resources required for the exhibition are relatively complete, and the manpower is also sufficient.

…………………………………………………………………………

Three days later, Whitehorse Town's Gate Beach.

Since yesterday, the 3ooo acres of land here have changed owners.

It has to be said that although the Manchu officials were incompetent to the outside world, they still had some means to deal with the Chinese people. This piece of land belongs to the government of the hillside, tidal flats and other wasteland less than sixty percent, the rest of the land involves more than a dozen landlords, large and small, if it is changed to the later generations, to settle so many people, not a few months that is not to think. If you don't meet a nail household, it will be light to toss for a few years.

But now it's different. With the strong support and care of the Neijiang government, it was all done in less than two days. Of course, this is also because this land was bought by "foreign adults", and people still added half of the money at the market price, do you dare to try it without giving face?

This time to buy land, a total of 955oo silver dollars were spent, and there were also several man-made gems from officials such as the county magistrate and the chief book.

At this time, Wen Desi and others stood on the edge of the Tuojiang River, looking at their new territory.

"Mr. Wen, it would be nice if we could pay with artificial gems when we buy land!" Gu Xiaolu said with some unfinished business.

Wen Deji shook his head and smiled: "Hahaha, don't dream. The families of these landlords are not too big, and most of them need cash, and they are reluctant to consume luxury goods such as gemstones. ”

Then, he said, "Xiaolu, write it down." Build a wharf on this shore and build a road......"

After Wen Desi finished speaking, Gu Xiaolu said: "Mr. Wen, it's almost the New Year now, and there is no way to recruit people on the market, and these projects can only be after the New Year." ”

"Not now, of course. You make a plan first, and after the Lantern Festival, you will start recruiting people to start work. Well, you're in charge of the internal construction, and the outside negotiations are in charge of Carfuer, and I'm going to Shanghai, so I'll leave it to you in the next few days......," Wen Deji said.

"Yes, don't worry! We'll leave it to ......."

After arranging the infrastructure of the family, Wen Desi turned around and said, "Chromie, you go to Shanghai with me this time." After that, you will stay in Shanghai as a representative of the company. ”

"Obey orders, Mr. Wen ......"

Chromie is a cute girl with a European appearance, but now she dresses as a man, and she specializes in finance and business.
