At this time, the benefits of exchanging silver dollars for silver tickets in advance are reflected, if you settle directly with silver dollars, the shopkeepers may not accept it, but when the time comes, how many silver dollars Zhao Dagui takes, how much he pays to the shopkeepers, and how much he keeps will be seen clearly.

This transaction is okay, and it will be difficult for Zhao Dagui to make similar business money in the future.

If for the sake of secrecy, Zhao Dagui actually hopes that he will buy tea directly from the tea house and then transfer it to the captain, so that the British will not know where his tea comes from, and this business will naturally be able to do it for a longer time, but unfortunately his own financial strength or the reality does not allow this.

The current situation is that there is no trust between the captain and Zhao Dagui and the shopkeeper of the tea house, and the total transaction amount is 1,500 quintals of tea, but in fact, it has to be divided into fifteen batches, each time 100 quintals of tea, delivered in batches, which seems to be troublesome, but can greatly reduce the risk of both parties.

This went back and forth fifteen times, and the silver tickets in the captain's hand were all in Zhao Dagui's hands, and Zhao Dagui settled with the shopkeepers of the tea house, and found that he still had about 17,000 yuan of silver tickets left in his hand, which was his pure profit.

When all the tea was delivered, Zhao Dagui paid the money for the last batch of tea, and then returned to the British, who cheered loudly and applauded Zhao Dagui warmly, completely facing the attitude of the triumphant general.

"Long live Her Majesty!"

"Long live Britain!"

"Long live China!"

"Long live the free magic capital!"

"Long live America!"

Everyone cheered loudly with various slogans, but the only American present, a senior class of Qichang Foreign Bank, unwillingly shouted "Long live America", and gained a lot of disapproving eyes.

"Mr. Captain, this first business is done. Next, I will be in contact with other Chinese merchants to sell the cloth and other goods you have brought. Zhao Dagui said to the captain.

"No problem, thank you very much Mr. Comprador for your help. The captain excitedly took Zhao Dagui's hand and shook it desperately, it seems that this is not an exclusive action used by Chinese to express excitement in a certain period of later generations, this era already exists.

Next, Zhao Dagui politely sent the tea house shopkeeper and porters out of the courtyard of Yao's house, and went to the largest "Yuelai Inn" in the magic capital to eat together in the evening to celebrate this big business.

Then, Zhao Dagui still had a lot of trivial matters to deal with, and the British happily began to celebrate themselves.

Today's transaction, on the surface, was just a business for Captain Kellett in this port, but other foreigners, including missionaries and foreign bank clerks, saw that it was much more convenient to do business in this port than in Guangzhou (at least the goods could be delivered within ten days, but not in Guangzhou), and by looking at the captain's happy expression, he knew that the price of tea was certainly not too expensive, which made most people full of hope for the prospects of the development of this port.

Both the captain and Zhao Dagui attach great importance to keeping business secrets, but this does not prevent these foreigners with rich business experience from analyzing a lot of useful information from various details.

In this business, Zhao Dagui helped the British captain buy tea worth 50,000 yuan, and the cost to the tea house keepers was only about 33,000 yuan, and he made a net profit of 17,000 yuan in silver, more than 10,000 taels of silver, and stepped into the ranks of the rich from a well-off family in one fell swoop, which is of great significance.

In the evening, Zhao Dagui went to the "Yuelai Inn" on time to attend the banquet of the tea house shopkeepers.

According to the rules of the business field, the shopkeepers are the ones who get the money from Zhao Dagui, and they will naturally pay for it this time, but at this time, Zhao Dagui's net worth has changed drastically compared to a day ago, and he has the urge to shoot a stack of silver tickets on the table and shout "I invite this meal".

Fortunately, Zhao Dagui's mental cultivation has improved during this time, and he silently recites in his heart "pretending to be forced to be struck by thunder", and socializes with others in a decent manner.

In addition to the six tea house shopkeepers who supplied tea this time (Zhao Dagui intends to find a few more tea houses to supply), there are also five shopkeepers who have little to do with this matter.

These shopkeepers were specially invited by Zhao Dagui to the shopkeepers of the tea house, and they were all storekeepers with a reputation in the magic capital, and most of them were warehouses dealing in cloth and other small commodities.

That's right, just like the tea house deals in tea, there are also special cloth stacks and warehouses for cloth business, and Zhao Dagui asked someone to come over, naturally hoping to continue to do the next step of business, and dispose of the foreign cloth and other goods worth tens of thousands of yuan brought by Captain Kellett.

After all, Zhao Dagui is not familiar with life here, and he can't buy anything, and if he wants to sell things directly, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult, and he needs to be introduced by these experienced tea house shopkeepers.

The shopkeepers of these tea houses themselves have a wide range of contacts, and even some of them also deal in some fabrics, so it is naturally very suitable to find them.

The two sides chatted until late, and finally said goodbye, and agreed that everyone would go to the Yao Consulate the next day to find Zhao Dagui and see the samples of those foreign fabrics and goods.

The next day, Zhao Dagui didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning, feeling uncomfortable and dizzy, and the strength of the wine he drank the day before had not passed.

Finally got up, washed his face, and picked up the food that he had left in the room to fill his stomach, Zhao Dagui was relieved and remembered what he had to do that day.

Those shopkeepers are going to come over to see the foreign goods on this day, and they have to entertain them well, and they can't neglect others, after all, he is now the seller, and others are the buyers.

Zhao Dagui hurriedly went out and went to the Yao family's compound, and after a while, he was going to entertain those shopkeepers in the office assigned to him by the consul.

As soon as he arrived at the consulate, Zhao Dagui felt that the courtyard of the consulate was a little noisy, a little more noisy than a few days ago.

Originally, the tea bought yesterday was put into the warehouse provided by the Yao family for preservation, and at this time it was brought out and put in the yard.

From Bafur to the Consulate Attaché, the borrowed missionaries and foreign clerks, and Captain Kellett's men, all went out into the courtyard, reopened the tea packages, and rummaged through them for something.

"Big guy, pay attention, you must look for it carefully, you must find it today. Consul Bafur was rolling up his sleeves and running to the scene himself, rummaging through the tea crates while speaking loudly to the people around him.

"That's right, you have to find it today. Captain Kellett was right next to him, gritting his teeth, as if he were doing another life-or-death matter.

Zhao Dagui felt inexplicable, so he walked over and asked, "Mr. Consul, and the captain, what are you doing?

Unexpectedly, when he asked this, everyone was startled, raised their heads and looked at him with a look of hell, including the consul and the captain.

"Oh, Mr. Shaw, are you still there, haven't you gone out?" said Bafour, panickingly, with an embarrassed expression, like a child who has just been caught doing something bad.

"I'm going to ask a few businessmen to look at the goods today, and I'm going to wait for them. I don't know what you're looking for?" Zhao Dagui asked curiously.

"This... Isn't it... We—" Unexpectedly, Consul Bafour's face turned red and he was at a loss.

In fact, today's matter has to start with the caution of Captain Kellett and Consul Bafour.
