Seventy-six, the southeast silkworm god (4)

Hu Xueyan glanced at him in surprise, "What does my brother mean?" ”

"Fantai asked for this silver, but he didn't tell me before," Lord Hong said with a solemn expression, "Lord Fantai has never shied away from me or anything, and has always regarded me as a confidant, but on this day, he got a telegram from Beijing, and he didn't tell me the reason, and asked me to withdraw the silver, which is not in line with the rules. If I hadn't hurried out to get the silver, I was afraid that there would be a delicious meal. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's never been done before, you have to be careful." Lord Hong was kind-hearted, and he advised Hu Xueyan, "You have pressed so much silk here, and you just took a million taels of silver and sent it to the south, I'm afraid that if you don't take advantage of the silver, it's better to make plans early. ”

"Kyochu?" Hu Xueyan frowned slightly, then stretched, and smiled disapprerovitically, "Don't worry, brother, no one in Beijing will deal with me, those Jin merchants, they don't have such great ability, and they don't have so much silver, dare to rush to Shanghai, and find trouble with me, a landlord, I registered with the household department, and I am considered a person from the imperial court, I am not afraid of the bright and dark, and what tricks are I afraid of?" Hu Xueyan said with a smile, "As for the silver, you don't have to worry, you see me take out the silver of the clan in one go, and I don't frown, I naturally know that the most important thing I lack here is silver." What's more, the foreigners will bow their heads in the future, and the silk here can be sold for cash, so naturally there is no need to worry, for fear that they will run on it. ”

Seeing that Hu Xueyan was so confident, Lord Hong didn't say anything anymore, he walked down, several big cars outside had been prepared, Lord Hong left with his hands, Hu Xueyan nodded with a smile, turned his head and was about to say something to the steward, when he suddenly saw the door of the bank on the side, there were a few Frenchmen standing, Hu Xueyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to the French, and the Frenchmen ignored it and went straight into the hall of the bank of PARRIBAS.

Hu Xueyan scolded with a smile, "These foreign devils, you can't afford to lose?" He said to the steward, "Do they have a lot of money in their bank?" ”

"Yes."

"They have a lot of silver, but unfortunately they can't buy silk, and it's useless." Hu Xueyan turned around and entered the hall of the ticket number, and when he saw Hu Xueyan, the people who saw Hu Xueyan saluted and said hello, Hu Xueyan was not arrogant, smiled warmly and returned to the room on the top floor, he smoked a cigarette and pondered for a while, although Lord Hong's words were nonsense, but he also heard a little in his heart, "How much silver is there in the account now?" ”

"There are two million taels of silver, and the other semicolons don't count." The steward said, "Are you afraid that someone will do something?" ”

"As soon as he said this, I had to guard against it, but these two million taels are not less, and then," Hu Xueyan thought about it, frowned, and made up his mind, "Raise the price of silk by another cent, and let it go!" ”

"Master," the steward was very shrewd and capable, and in a moment he had a calculation in his heart, and the approximate expenses and benefits were calculated clearly, "If it rises again to collect silk, I'm afraid that our money will be nervous, not to mention, if the silk people can't receive this price, they will also have resentment in their hearts, which conflicts with the master's plan." ”

Silk weaving manufacturers, of course, are also happy to see the price of silk plummet, but there are still French people who want to bargain to expand their silk business scope, so they turn a blind eye to Hu Xueyan's acquisition of silk, most of the silk factories have their own mulberry fields, not afraid of others to raise prices, but if the price rises too much, the French there is no vitality damage, their own silk to foreign countries will not be able to sell first, silk weavers are happy to see the French deflated, But he is not willing to put his raw material lifeline in the hands of Hu Xueyan, so if the price rises again, I am afraid that the silk merchants will oppose it. Therefore the steward has this saying.

Hu Xueyan shook his head, "I can't take care of it so much, I will defeat the French first, and then I will defeat the French, in the future, the price of this silk will be my final say, and I will set the price of silk, so the price of silk is naturally my final say, plus my tea house in Wuyi Mountain, Qimen, Hangzhou, so that foreigners don't want to be presumptuous in our place, you know, as far as silk is concerned, how much does it cost for us to sell a number of Ning silk to foreigners in China?" Forty taels of silver, which they carried to London and Paris, how much silver? One hundred dollars pound! Now Guan Ping Yinyi exchanged four taels for one pound, and one hundred pounds is four hundred taels of silver, how much did they earn? Ten times the profit, which is faster than grabbing money! The silk of the first word in the sky is sold cheaply, which is really chilling, and it is willing to sell it at a low price, so that the foreigners can take advantage of the opportunity to take away the profits of the silk that is as expensive as gold. ”

"Now take advantage of this to rectify the export of silk by the way, I can't help but tell you here, silk will also act in a unified manner in the future, the export of silk can not be so low price, foreigners eat meat, we can only drink some soup, how can this be? Now there is no way, we don't have a ship, we can cross the ocean to Europe to do business, can only be in this Shanghai card card their neck, but who called our silk is the first in the world, foreigners always have to come here to buy, the price of silk is set, the French will weave silk in the future, this price is not necessarily their final say. Foreigners are the same, and domestic businessmen are the same, if anyone breaks the rules in the future, he is not allowed to do business with foreigners. These people are very shallow-eyed! Hu Xueyan said disdainfully, "Why should I wait for people who can't help it to sell the silk in their hands to the French first?" I just know that these people are very short-sighted, so I take care of the small profits in front of me, and I am in a hurry to cash in money, but it's a pity," he shook his head, "I regret it now, right?" All of a sudden, from two to four dollars, lost half of the net worth, this is deserved, I am not a good person, business can not be to help others make money, but also they laughed at themselves as the 'governor of Hong Kong', first of all, these two-faced, three-knife, see the wind to make the rudder of the small shrimp out, sit in the village themselves, the role of the Silk Association really played, lest someone be making a stumbling block, and then it is to deal with the French.
