"If you sell silk at that time, it will be a waste of your previous efforts, so I would rather let you suffer for a few days, taste the difficulty of this shortage of silver, this merchant, I have never looked down on it, although I have never said this explicitly, but since the opening of foreign affairs, industry and commerce are encouraged, so I don't look down on businessmen, but nowadays, many people are not very angry," Empress Dowager Cixi stood up, walked to the balcony, and overlooked the prosperity of Shanghai Beach, and the breeze blew, There was a watery smell in the river water, although it was a little unpleasant, but it was a kind of energetic taste, "You are similar, Hu Xueyan, businessman, of course you have to make money first," she stood and looked at the scenery for a while, then turned around, "It's naturally inappropriate not to make money, but this money is to be restrained, if you can spend money to restrain some, you won't be in such an embarrassing situation now, businessman," she said a sentence that made everyone here a little incomprehensible today, "There needs to be social responsibility on your shoulders."

She didn't elaborate, just clicked to the end, "But you're not bad, you've supported it for so many days, and you haven't gone out of business yet." ”

"The villain asks more, if the villain's silver account has gone out of business when Xisheng arrives in Shanghai, what will happen to Xisheng?"

"If your silver trumpet falls and your reputation is gone, then it can only prove that you, the southeast silkworm god, are false and not worthy of my attention to you," Hu Xueyan's heart jumped violently, "The tide of history is like the flow of the Huangpu River, which keeps rushing forward, each of us is like a tide, making a tide on the water, if it is swallowed up by the waves, then this person is not a masterpiece, then," the Empress Dowager Cixi said indifferently, "It is not a pity to die." ”

"If you fall before I come to Shanghai, then I will naturally be like you don't exist, Sheng Xuanhuai can also do silk things, why should I find a loser to do this? The silk warehouses are all in the hands of the government, you say, when the time comes, can you still ask Sheng Xuanhuai to buy silver for silk? ”

This is a naked reality, Hu Xueyan has been in the mall for a long time, so he naturally understands this truth, but the high-ranking person is so direct Hongguoguo's words of interest, it is inevitable that he can't accept it, "You are indeed good, there are foreigners sniping outside, and there are Jin merchants and officials inside, and you can still do so many things, it is rare, this is to be praised, you can endure this turmoil, then it is worth me to cultivate you, Zuo Zongtang's face is not so big enough, let me personally come to your Fukang Silver to show support, Hu Xueyan You should be the smartest." and guess what I want. ”

"Xisheng wants the right to be in charge of the Silk Export Association," Hu Xueyan said in a deep voice, he obviously understood that this final result must be so, otherwise the Empress Dowager Cixi would not have taken a fancy to this silver number and herself at all, "Compete with foreigners for the right to price silk." ”

"Yes, that's right," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded with satisfaction, she sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said leisurely, "I came here in person because I think that this war on silk is far more important than that in Vietnam, so the price of silk cannot be decided by the French." ”

"Then naturally, it can't be a villain."

"I have the final say, and you have the final say, there is no difference, you stay here in Shanghai, the pattern is still too small, let me ask you, what is the best thing to export after so many years of foreign affairs."

"Westerners for many years, basically foreigners' craftsmanship we have learned a lot, light industry these things, self-use is enough, if you want to export, you can't, our efficiency is not as high as the foreigners' factories, the cost can't come down, exports are not successful, but our fist advantage goods, in the West is still proud enough, the introduction of foreigners' textile machines, our silk weaving has increased more than three times, the pattern can be more complex, the color is more gorgeous, different from the foreigners themselves to get the big road goods, our are luxury, This silk is of the first order. ”

"Porcelain and tea naturally needless to say, but also the best, tea for so many years, exports gradually decreased, check the reason, the quality and yield of black tea in India gradually came up, the British planted tea in India, almost zero cost, our tea is the most expensive, it is inevitable that the price will fall."

"The villain is preparing for the silk business, and China is the largest exporter of silk. Of these things, porcelain and silk add the most value, because they have to be carefully made by hand. ”

Hu Xueyan's words raised three problems, one is that it is difficult to increase the price of products with insufficient artificial added value. Another emerging market has a great impact on the export impact of China's original advantageous projects, and another problem is that due to efficiency and technology reasons, industrial manufactured products want to be exported, but there is no price advantage.

"It's this reason," the Empress Dowager Cixi is very satisfied, people who can make such a loud voice are by no means idle people, so after saying this, there are a few things that are really grasped, "There are more exports, you can make more money from foreigners, and the customs tax can also be charged more, your silk association is a good thing, silk, tea, silk, porcelain, these things, as long as we make a lot of money, the price must be put in our own hands, and it must not be taken away by foreigners, so I know about you, I have already made up my mind that I must wish you a helping hand, but this ten million taels of silver dollars I embezzled from the household department," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Fortunately, Yan Jingming will not come to check my account." ”

Hu Xueyan was grateful, but also knew that he would have to pay a lot of money, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, although Empress Dowager Cixi later helped herself, but in the future, this silk pricing power, I am afraid that there is no room for your own beak, "This silver is lent to you, you can rest assured," Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to see Hu Xueyan's concerns again, and her words pointed directly at Hu Xueyan's heart, "The matter of silk, now you still have the final say, but I can't give this silver for nothing, and I always have to charge interest." ”

"Please rest assured that the Queen Mother will help, the villain is by no means ignorant of the gratitude of the Emperor."

"That's the best, I'll give you a year," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and said, "Arrange all the affairs of the Fukang Yin, and then go to Beijing on an errand." ”

"This?" Hu Xueyan was a little puzzled, "The villain doesn't understand." ”

"You Hu Xueyan claims to be a red-topped businessman, do you want to get rid of this businessman," Empress Dowager Cixi took another sip of tea, "Be a rightful red-topped official?" (To be continued.) )
