A gold bar is three taels, during the Republic of China, one tael is thirty grams, that is to say, a gold bar ninety grams, before the start of World War I, can be exchanged for sixty dollars, and so far, the price of grain in Shanghai, China is the highest, converted into dollars, the price of a load of the most haode flour is about three dollars.

However, when it came to Fuyuan, a load could be exchanged for two gold bars, that is, one hundred and twenty US dollars, of course, according to the regulations, half of the profits had to be handed over to the Jilin government, and the rest of the gold had to be deposited in Fengtian Bank, and then exchanged for Feng Bills before it could be circulated in the market.

There is no doubt that the Jilin government has the lion's share, and they not only eat Chinese merchants, but also Russian merchants who cannot run, and have to pay entrance fees, transportation fees, transaction taxes, and so on. But after careful calculation, the gross profit still reached more than fifteen times. After deducting the freight, the profit is more than five times, and after the flour arrives in Russia, the price will skyrocket by two or three times, or even have no price.

This is the charm of the black market, any businessman will go crazy, Qiao Lanyun held the account book in his hand, looked through it carefully, and looked very satisfied with a smile on his face. Zhang Tinglan came back from Fengtian this time, and also found the queen of Fengtian's business community and made her fully responsible.

A large number of materials are transported every day, and at the same time, it is indeed very brain-consuming, Zhang Tinglan has been working for a while and has become a deserter, but Qiao Lanyun is willing, manipulating the flow of huge amounts of wealth, and unceremoniously sweeping away the hard-earned money of countless Russians, there is nothing left, there is a special fun in it.

When Qiao Lanyun was looking at the account book beautifully, Zhang Tinglan came to her office, and as soon as she walked in, Zhang Tinglan felt a headache, the main reason was that those nasty abacus sounds were far away. You can hear it, crackling, ringing, and even a bit like an Internet café in later generations, where countless dedicated game fans are frantically pressing the keyboard.

This made Zhang Tinglan, a person who likes to be quiet, frown: "Boss Qiao, you are really cultivated, you don't care about interference, it's really admirable." ”

"Mr. Zhang, this is a little hobby of mine, the more I listen to the sound of the abacus. The more peaceful I am, the more relaxed my mind becomes, and the more uncomfortable I am if I can't hear. ”

"Sure enough, I was born a businessman, and I am ashamed of myself."

You're laughing again. I was born to work hard, and you're the real big man. If not for your support. Where is there such a haode money-making paradise. ”

"Let's stop touting each other, tell me how to develop the black market next?"

"Mr. Zhang, I did think about it, we are now smuggling high-grade flour, clothing and wine. The main thing is to supply the rich, and ordinary Russians can't get gold bars. In the next step, I think ordinary people can't let it go, and they will transport a little more potatoes from the country, stick noodles and the like. I've heard that the poor in Russia take potatoes as their staple food, and the potatoes in our Northeast are big, delicious, and definitely popular. ”

Zhang Tinglan gave Qiao Lanyun a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Boss Qiao really has an idea, but you plan first, and I am going to expand a trade route in the next step, and I can trade directly through the river in Fuyuan, but to transport things from the hinterland, the way to go is still too far, and the bulk of things is not cost-effective." ”

"Mr. Zhang, are you the idea of the railway?" As an excellent businessman, Qiao Lanyun is very sensitive to all kinds of potential business opportunities, and the entire Middle East Road is T-shaped, and the eastern half of the road passes through the Suifen River, directly connecting with the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway, which can reach Vladivostok, and to the north is Boli and other places.

Railway transportation has too many advantages over the road, and now the Northeast is still the carriage stage, the gap is even greater, if you are ready to sell potatoes, relying on the carriage transportation, you will definitely lose money, only through the railway, there is a profit, and some large-scale equipment, just relying on the carriage will definitely not be able to pull away, must take the railway.

In addition, Suifenhe also has an important advantage, that is, it is located in the easternmost part of Middle East Road, and Horvat's shili is relatively weak, so it can avoid this greedy big bear, and Zhang Tinglan has already arranged for people to go over to prepare.

"If you can pass through this railway, a large amount of smuggling, the profits will definitely be multiplied, when are you going to open up a trade route?" There was a hint of excitement in Qiao Lanyun's tone, and she was even eager to try.

"Don't be busy yet, if you want to expand cooperation, you must first establish authority, without military prestige, Russians will not be honest and obedient!"

The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle! In fact, Zhang Tinglan had long considered the Suifen River, but in the absence of adequate preparations, especially if the force could not deter Russia, smuggling there would be carried out by the Russians, and if it was not good, the Russians would attack the hinterland of Jilin along the railway, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Now as the Feng army has obtained a large number of weapons and the reorganization has begun to bear fruit, Zhang Tinglan's waist has hardened, and there are more ideas, expanding the scale of trade, and using the railway to empty the Far East, this jihua is becoming clearer and clearer in Zhang Tinglan's mind.

However, in order to achieve this jihua, it is necessary to show enough strength to deter the ambitions of the Russians, so that they can be honest and act according to the rules of the army, otherwise everything is delusional.

Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling and others finalized the battle, and then found Qiao Lanyun, that is, she asked her to help throw the bait out completely, and use the black market in Fuyuan to leak the news of the arrival of a large number of supplies in Fengtian to the Russians, and Qiao Lanyun gladly accepted the order.

Sure enough, within a few days of the news being released, there were many idle Russians on the black market, who were not interested in looking at the goods, not in bargaining with the merchants, but in looking around for news, especially like to deal with some coachmen, who were very familiar with the news on the road.

And their life is also relatively boring, on the vast snowy field, a walk is ten days and half a month, thirsty to grab a handful of snow, hungry to nibble on a mouthful of gluttony, just to be able to make a little more money.

Some Russians found these coachmen, took them to the county town to have a good time, felt the enthusiasm of the Russian beauties, galloped wantonly on those plump and elastic bodies, attacked wantonly, and released all the garbage emotions.

Between the beds, it has always been the most haode place to obtain information, the Russians know this truth very well, and soon they pry open the mouths of the two coachmen, and get the specific route of the Mukden materials, such as the treasure of the Russians quickly sent the information to Boli. The Governor of the Far East, who is currently in Boli, is the Tsar's nephew named Felix, and it was this guy who killed the demon monk Rasputin with his own hands.

In order to avoid revenge, Felix took the initiative to run to the Far East and served as the governor, but this royal nobleman, after arriving in Boli, was extremely disappointed, how could the Far East be comparable to the European Huahua Shijie, Felix could only put all his energy on women and indulge in wine.

However, the good times did not last long, and the famine in Russia became more and more serious, especially in the Far East, which was not a grain-producing region in the first place, and the situation was even worse, not only ordinary people, but even soldiers could not have enough to eat.

Russia has always been the greatest pursuit of the tsar to establish a military country and build a strong army, and now there is no money to raise this military beast, and the beast will turn its head to devour its master.

The fact that Felix was able to shoot Rasputin with his own hands shows that he is not a complete mediocrity, and he also knows that he must meet the needs of the army, and do everything possible, no matter what the cost.

Therefore, under his connivance, the black market in Fuyuan became more and more prosperous, a large number of stockpiled weapons were sold to China, and Felix even intercepted a lot of arms shipped from the United States and Japan, which were also exchanged for food, clothing, and daily necessities from China, and the army finally settled down.

Felix breathed a sigh of relief, but gradually he also had other thoughts, he knew very well that this kind of black market trading, the Chinese earned greater benefits, the thought of letting those yellow-skinned monkeys dragging pig tails get so many benefits for nothing, Felix was reluctant, and even had a feeling of madness.

How much good there is in this world should also fall on him, a duke with noble blood, it was those damned Chinese who robbed him of his money, and Felix gritted his teeth and filled his chest with resentment.

Coincidentally, at this time, Russian bandits were rampant everywhere, and Felix finally thought of a way, he could use force to take back those huge profits that belonged to him, and then with the support of the governor, many Russian troops disguised themselves as bandits, frequently crossed the Sino-Russian border, looted more and more, and their ambitions became more and more inflated.

"Mr. Duke, we got exact information from the Chinese, they will have a large number of supplies, transported from Mukden, among which there are a large number of luxury goods, worth at least hundreds of thousands of rubles, I don't think this batch of materials should be spared, when they transport things to Fuyuan, we will kill them, the yellow-skinned monkeys will definitely not be able to stop us, rob the entire Fuyuan, everything is ours."

"Stupid pig!" Felix listened to the words of his general, and his eyes immediately widened, and the people of the Normanov family all had a sickly face, and once they got angry, their pale faces, like vampires, were eerie and terrifying.

"Korizin, think about it with your pig brain, if we loot Fuyuan, the Chinese will all be scared away, we still have a long and harsh winter of several months, should I put you in a pot and cook it, and then distribute it to those hungry people?"

Koryzin was frightened by the Duke's attitude, and hurriedly said, "Duke, do you want us to give up these things?" ”

Phyllis was completely angered by this pig-headed subordinate, grabbed his chest, and said viciously: "You idiot, the Chinese have earned a lot of gold from my hands, I can't watch and take back what belongs to me!" ”

After Phyllis finished growling, he said to Korizen: "I need you to rob these things, but don't go beyond the bottom line of the Chinese, don't scare them away, and for the next few months, we will play this cat-and-mouse game until we get through the damn winter." ”

"Your Excellency the Wise Duke, the lowly slave finally understands your thoughts, go ahead and arrange it now!" (To be continued......)
