Chapter 129: Action Group (I)
Woo woo woo -
The whistle continues to sound over the port of Haiju City, the sea surface is sparkling, the cargo ships come and go, the color is gray and the ocean cargo ship is bright, and the color is the inland river ship, all of which are intertwined in the port of the mouth of the river.

Masts and chimneys, smoke from steam engines, the great maritime trade of the early industrial era was played, overseers wielding whips and laborers busily carrying goods off ships, loading boxes onto trucks and transporting them to temporary warehouses, some to be stored for a period of time, and some to be delivered on the spot with trade representatives from factories everywhere.
From time to time, I saw the procurement staff in suits and leather shoes, biting steamed buns and white water squatting in front of the warehouse, anxiously waiting for the goods to come and dump the warehouse, and there was nothing to say to relieve the boredom: "Hey, have you heard of it, there was a shooting at the dock here a few days ago, and four people died in a row......
"Ah, there is such a thing? What kind of strongman robbed the foreigner, so bold......"
"It doesn't seem to be a robber, it's the four laborers who couldn't stand the oppression and rose up to resist, and the gun was given by an outsider...... It seems to be their former commander. โ
"It turned out to be a soldier, and he was really bold, I don't know which prince it is......"
"It's impossible for any of them, right? Now the princes and foreigners wear a pair of pants, maybe they are veterans from the old Luhou period......
In order to relieve the tension, he occasionally talked to the young crew behind him about maritime trade, and occasionally squatted down to chat with the rubber procurement personnel of several factories he docked, listening to their complaints about life and the world: "In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer orders in the factory, and more and more foreign goods have been crowded.
"A few years ago, when the old Lu Hou was there, we could still eat meat and steamed buns when we ran to purchase, but now we only eat steamed buns...... If you can't repay the loan from the foreigner bank in another half a year, you won't be able to hold on, and everyone will get out. โ
"I can't afford to eat vegetables, so I grow vegetables in the yard in front of my house...... Poor mother-in-law has been with me for so long, and I can't even eat meat at the end of the year, I'm useless......"
"No ...... in sight"
The more they chatted deeper, their voices revealed resentment and discouragement, despair, people living in this dark land are hardworking, for the rejuvenation of China, for the sake of family food and clothing, everyone is diligent, but can only find again and again, the harder, the more poverty, even the factory is difficult to persist in opening for five years, and the wealth they create does not know where it goes...... Few people find the right answer, they just work harder in their own way and fall into a more vicious cycle.
Before, Liu Qingming didn't know the answer, he could only fight to the death with his own blood and life, but at this time, he touched the booklet in his arms, and he could turn over the rough edges...... I can't help but feel hot.
"It's going to be fine, trust me. He patted a few purchasers on the shoulder and strode outside, the time has come, success or failure is in this move!

Not far from the direction of the futures exchange, a black car drove over, and the young crew behind Liu Qingming had his hand on his waist to hide the gun, Liu Qingming looked at the car license plate nervously, and waved his hand: "It's okay, my own people." โ
"Be careful, old captain told me to protect you...... If something goes wrong with you, their Navy Reserve pension is all over. The young man of the crew humorously said that in fact, the empire had already had no navy due to the treaty, and with the former commander of the navy, Admiral Liao, angrily lifting the ship and sinking himself in the imperial port, the so-called reserve was only a thought for the people, and the admiralty that still existed in the nominal establishment was poor, and the once experienced crew members were leased to foreign companies, and what was even more tragic was that the situation of the second-class nationals deteriorated this kind of personnel lease, including the captain, was only a temporary worker certificate, not even a regular employee, and it was impossible to have a pension to pay, so he could only fend for himselfใ
Liu Qingming knew about these shady scenes when he was chatting with the old captain, and when he heard the humor of what the young crew said, he laughed at him, and saw the three young men in the black car jump out of the car, with an eager expression: "It's done!"
"All closed?"
"That's right!" Two young men each carried a black suitcase and threw it into Liu Qingming's hands: "The main force of this harvest is through the passage account of the Frans Bank, we are scattered and mixed in the account flow, and we will operate without asking, and the matter will not be asked to our heads, but Xiao Zhou is in danger, so he changed his clothes and came out on the spot to stop working......"
Liu Qingming walked to the corner of the warehouse with the box, checked it, it was full of cash, and there was a large amount of cashier's check, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at a young man with unkempt hair and unkempt hair, and said with a smile: "Zhou Hong, you can talk about it." โ
Although Zhou Hong was untidy as if he had just been released from the detention center, he waved his hands and looked confident, anyone who operated and robbed an exchange at once would be so confident, and then he was full of malice with a smile: "When I took the opportunity to go to the toilet and ran out, the main trader of Brietan on the other side...... The big Saxon nose, who usually coaxes cattle, is reporting to the top of the protest, and this is still too late? The accounts we have scattered have been transferred to seven countries and thirteen banks, and have been transferred to more than 100 scattered accounts, and they have already been operated by Xiao Liu and them. โ
The two young men in the banking system also nodded, and Xiao Liu's expression was the most calm: "Foreigners will turn their faces and flip the table when they suffer losses, and the major shareholder behind the Zhang Alice Chamber of Commerce is the capital of the Brietan East India Company, but it is too late to track the clues of funds, and it is impossible to check the account stubs across borders, and the Frans Bank will not be able to pass the first pass, let alone later." โ
Liu Qingming nodded in understanding: "The people of Blieitan are not strong enough to eat the world...... Thank you bankers. โ
"We are just in the hands of logistics, this time Xiao Zhou is the first line of firepower, the price has not yet peaked, the opposite side is still boosting the heat of rubber trading, just before the harvest smashed a stick, I see they are dizzy...... Although the opposite side remedied on the spot to keep up, but the transoceanic AC telecommunications were half a beat slower, and the capital flow was calculated, at least half of the profits went to us, and it was the best part to earn, and the profit operations behind were cumbersome and the harvesting cost was high. โ
Liu Qingming laughed and patted each of them on the shoulder: "This time, you are all heroes of the Shenzhou Society. โ
"Hehe, it's all the captain, you organize our operation, everything else is fine, that is, you have to deal with the finishing touches there, and the fog of rubber smuggling must be cleared immediately...... Misleading the enemy's direction of investigation. โ
"Hmm. โ
Liu Qingming nodded and smiled: "Before, we had no money, and a penny was difficult to defeat a hero, but now we have money...... This transoceanic bulk delivery, starting from more than 10 tons, is really unplayable without money. โ
Behind Liu Qingming, the young crew couldn't help but say: "I don't understand the economy, I always feel that I make so much money at once, and my heart is a little unsteady...... The price of this rubber in China was a little more expensive in the past, but it has been crazy for a while now. โ
Xiao Liu, a young man from the bank, waved his hand and looked calm: "Foreigners are behind the control, they are the real money-makers, the transformation from commodities to currency, the discovery of value, the transformation of things from colonies around the world into money, the formation of their country's vitality, competitiveness, snowballing across the world......"
The young crew suddenly said: "I understand when you say shipping, indeed, this process has been in the hands of the Brietans, who have defeated the nations in several naval battles and trade wars, and firmly grasped the lifeline of shipping. โ
The trader Zhou Hong laughed: "The price increase of the rubber trade was originally initiated by them to harvest our capital...... By the way, Brother Liu, how did you judge the timing of this rubber foam?"
Liu Qingming touched the pamphlet in his arms and smiled: "A person with the same ambition as us pointed out the way...... However, he reminded that we can't be proud of success, we just killed them by surprise, and next time there is no such a good opportunity, the foreigners will reset the trade process and fill the last loophole. โ
After several young people were surprised, they all nodded again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity......"
The young crew laughed: "How long is the coastline of Shenzhou? They can make up for big loopholes, but they can't make up for small loopholes, and for the follow-up smuggling ship, the old captain told me that the route has been determined, and his old guys are preparing to collect smuggling goods in the South Seas, and they can still eat a sum of money while they are hot...... I went to get in touch, and your Shenzhou Society remembered to send someone to hand over to us. โ
"No problem, next time I come, it may not be me, but it is also my comrade, and I will give him an authorization mark for you to recognize. โ
Liu Qingming waved at him, and watched the other party get on a small sampan, and the small sampan gradually sailed to a large steamer.
Woo woo woo -
The whistle sounded, and on the bow of the steamer, with the name of the "Water Temple Dragon Boat" written on it, an old man wearing a military uniform and a military hat saluted from afar, with a naval salute.
"That's the old captain......"
Several people were silent, realizing that this was not just a windfall, but a tacit understanding of each other in their respective trenches against the foreigners, until the ship left, everyone retracted their eyes, Liu Qingming ran to drive, Zhou Hong envied: "I also had such a dream of sailing to the sea and fighting for the country when I was a child, and then the navy was gone, and I wanted to at least go to the sea to see, but I had no money and no time, this time the resignation was covered, and I needed to avoid the limelight, and I just went overseas to study and study, and increase my knowledge......"
