355【Trading】
Zhou Hexuan drank the dragon well before the rain, chatted with Sun Zhongshan without a word, and never mentioned the matter of Li Shoumin and Miss Sun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not only was Li Shoumin in a hurry, but Sun Zhongshan was also quite surprised, and the old fox finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know why you came to the Humble House today?" ”
Zhou Hexuan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I'm here to talk to Mr. Sun about business." ”
"Talking about business?" Sun Zhongshan was a little confused.
And Li Shoumin and Sun Jingxun, the little couple, looked at Zhou Hexuan with wide eyes - what about the proposed marriage?
"Yes, it's about business." Zhou Hexuan said.
Sun Zhongshan asked, "What business?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Mr. Sun opened a bank, of course, it is about the business of silver. ”
Sun Zhongshan frowned and said, "What kind of business has nothing to do with silver?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "American silver." ”
Sun Zhongshan was suddenly shocked and asked, "Do you have a way to buy American silver?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "I am friends with the governor of New York in the United States, and I am also the grandfather of Hongmen in the United States, so it is not difficult to help contact the silver trade." ”
"How many?" Sun Zhongshan couldn't wait to ask.
You can't blame Sun Zhongshan for losing his temper, but the silver trading is too profitable.
The United States is a silver-producing superpower, controlling 66% of the world's silver mining and 77% of silver smelting, but silver does not play a significant role in the American economy.
Since 1926, the international silver price has been declining. In particular, since 1928, the price of silver in the United States has fallen from 58 cents per ounce to 38 cents per ounce, and the economic crisis has made the decline in silver prices even faster.
China is one of the few silver-standard countries in the world, and the value of the silver dollar is not greatly affected by the international silver price, which makes silver trading profitable. In the past few years, people have continued to buy large quantities of silver from the United States, which has increased China's silver reserves while also causing a certain degree of domestic inflation.
Of course, not everyone can do the silver business in the United States, and it can only be purchased through national foreign exchange imports or private remittances.
Sun Zhongshan opened a bank, and of course he knew that there were huge profits, but unfortunately he did not have American remittances in his hands, so he could only sigh with admiration.
Zhou Hexuan also learned about the benefits of the silver business through Hongmen in the United States, and he was too lazy to meddle in the past, but now he just took the opportunity to play a few votes with Sun Zhongshan.
"100,000 catties of silver a year, what do you think?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.
Sun Zhongshan said excitedly: "The amount is very considerable, but is the overseas Chinese remittance enough?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "My father-in-law and I have a factory in the United States, and we still have a profit of two or three hundred thousand dollars a year. And business is getting more and more prosperous, and tomorrow it may be able to double it. I also made some money during the stock market crash in the United States, not to mention 100,000 catties of silver, even if I could get 200,000 catties of silver. I'm in charge of buying American silver, and you're in charge of receiving and processing it in China, and we'll talk about how the profits will be divided. ”
"That's good," Sun Zhongshan said happily, "Mr. Zhou, we have to plan this matter well." ”
"There is no rush in business, the price of silver in the United States is still plummeting, maybe it will be more profitable to buy at the end of the year," Zhou Hexuan changed the topic and said with a smile, "Mr. Sun, I am here to be a matchmaker today." ”
Sun Zhongshan's face was cloudy, and his heart was as uncomfortable as eating flies. The silver deal was well discussed, and a large amount of silver was beckoning to him, who knew that Zhou Hexuan was actually playing this set.
But with 100,000 catties of American silver every year, the profit is too tempting, and Sun Zhongshan is really reluctant to give up.
Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Sun, here the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. The Shoumin brothers are also full of talent, although they don't have much money, they will never let Ling Yan suffer. Marriage is a big event, as long as the daughter is happy, what else can she ask for? Do you think that's the truth? ”
Sun Zhongshan said with an embarrassed face: "Teachers and students fall in love, they are rebellious, and it is not good to spread out!" ”
"Haha, this is the Republic of China, how can there be so much exquisiteness," Zhou Hexuan persuaded hard, "Brother Shoumin and Ling Yan are like-minded, they are fellow villagers in Sichuan, and their married life must be happy and harmonious." I will take the head as a guarantee, if Brother Shoumin dares to live up to Ling Yan, let Mr. Sun dispose of it! ”
Sun Zhongshan smiled bitterly: "What's the use of asking for your head?" ”
Zhou Hexuan explained: "Mr. Sun, young people are progressive in their thinking and pay attention to the freedom of marriage, and you can't stop it if you want to." What should I do when Ling Yan runs away from home again? Even if you sue the court, this lawsuit will not be won, and the news of elopement will make people laugh at it. ”
Miss Sun interjected at the right time and said, "Dad, if you don't agree, I'll elope to show you when I turn around!" ”
"Nonsense!" Sun Zhongshan scolded sharply.
knows his daughter Mo Ruo's father, Sun Zhongshan knows his daughter's character very well, and he can really do this kind of thing by eloping. Just like Zhou Hexuan said, most of the lawsuits will not be won when the time comes-with Zhou Hexuan's help, and it will be embarrassing.
The more Sun Zhongshan thought about it, the more headache he felt, although the reason was very clear, he just didn't want to marry his daughter to a poor boy.
Zhou Hexuan suddenly played a bad move, sighed and said: "Mr. Sun, I can't hide it, I am in such a hurry to propose marriage, there is no way." The raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, and Ling Yan was already pregnant, and if she delayed it until her belly was big, things would be even more difficult to do. ”
"What?" Sun Zhongshan was so shocked that he stood up suddenly.
Li Shoumin's face was surprised, and he looked at Sun Jingxun suspiciously.
Sun Jingxun reacted quickly, and actually made a shy appearance and said, "Dad, I do have it." ”
"You...... You, you, you! ”
Sun Zhongshan was furious, but he didn't see through Zhou Hexuan's lies, he pointed at his daughter tremblingly, and only stomped his feet for a long time and said, "What a good thing you did!" Someone, call a doctor. ”
Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly, this old fox didn't lose his mind, and he could still think of asking a doctor to diagnose it first.
Sun Jingxun winked at Zhou Hexuan in a panic, as if asking him what to do.
Zhou Hexuan rolled his eyes - cold salad.
However, things quickly took a turn for the worse, and the doctor invited by Sun Jingxun was actually Ding Guorui, an old acquaintance of Zhou Hexuan......
Whether Meng Xiaodong or Zhang Leyi is pregnant, Ding Guorui was invited to visit the fetus in the first few months. And in the "Abolition of Traditional Chinese Medicine Case", Zhou Hexuan's "Ta Kung Pao" also helped Ding Guorui speak, and the personal relationship between the two is quite deep.
Ding Guorui pressed Sun Jingxun's wrist to take the pulse, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Zhou Hexuan squeezing his eyebrows at him.
Sun Zhongshan asked, "Old Ding, is the little girl in good health?" ”
Without waiting for Ding Guorui to answer, Sun Jingxun hurriedly reminded: "Doctor, the fetus is still stable, right?" ”
Ding Guorui looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Pay attention to usually, don't exercise vigorously, replenish your body more, don't go to bed late, and don't be sad and happy." ”
Ding Guorui is also an old slippery head, he didn't say anything about pregnancy at all, but he guided him over there. Even if something goes wrong in the future, you can push the blame away.
Sun Zhongshan was preconceived, and immediately believed that his daughter was pregnant, so he sat weakly on the chair.
After sending Ding Guorui away, Sun Zhongshan said sadly: "That's it, you can do it yourself." ”
Li Shoumin was ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to put Zhou Hexuan on the table and worship him as a god.
Zhou Hexuan was also very happy, not only helped his friend, but also negotiated a business.
The annual trading of 100,000 catties of silver, even if the freight and other consumption are removed, there is a profit of more than 400,000 silver dollars, and the silver price continues to fall, so he earns more (see how Sun Zhongshan invests in profit sharing). This kind of business must be in partnership with a bank, and it is difficult to do it by Zhou Hexuan alone.
Well, it's a win-win situation, and everyone is happy.
