    Lu Hong did not express any opinion on shopkeeper Hu's estimate, but he naturally understood that with Hu Yifei's talent in business for many years, the estimate was probably too much. The only possibility was those raw diamond mines This small package of gems  , in fact, it is only one-tenth of what he has on hand, and a small part of the raw ore with larger particles has not been included in it. Therefore, in general, he has in mind the value that can be obtained after selling this batch of goods.  some amounts.  He chatted with Sima Qi and shopkeeper Hu for a while. Hu Yifei was obviously interested in handling this matter, and repeatedly told Lu Hong that by doing this business in his hands, he could try his best to get an extra 10% from foreign merchants.  Profit If his valuation just now is reasonable, this is already an astonishing premium!  However, Lu Hong still said noncommittally, and when he finally left, he did not give him a definite answer. He just said that he would go back and think about it. Shopkeeper Hu, before breaking up, mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that there was someone in the Hu family.  It was the Ministry of Personnel that gave the matter Regarding this, Lu Hong smiled, "We also have a backing. Since we reluctantly became Huang Tifang's disciple, it is not too much to use these three-level officials as a protective umbrella!"  Afterwards, Lu Hong took Sima Qi to a French firm called Vitelli and an American firm called St. George in Dongjiaomin Lane. Finally, they basically finalized a deal with American Anderson, because this American bearded man in his thirties was in  After seeing the gems provided by Lu Hong and confirming that it was a long-term sale, he immediately offered a price that was 20% higher than the French.  However, with a sly smile on his face, Big Beard immediately made another request, "Mr. Lu, your goods have extremely high added value. However, this is only the raw, unprocessed price of diamonds. Considering the market situation,  Fluctuation, I have given you the biggest discount. Of course, as you know, we who do ocean shipping hope to be able to load profitable goods every time. Therefore, I hope you can accept that 30% of the payment can be paid in goods.  Offset, of course, the price of the goods is settled at the FOB price, which is already a great discount! "Using goods to offset cash This makes Lu Hong hesitate. Are you planning to dump foreign garbage to us?  In 1894 I actually remember that the fourteenth economic crisis that swept Europe and the United States that year had just shown signs of recovery. However, the four-year economic crisis had also severely damaged these European and American industrial powers. It seemed that this guy wanted to  Dumping the backlog of products to yourself! "Mr. Anderson, the goods you mentioned include those things I need a detailed list. If there is not what I need in the list you provide, I may need to add some additional items. This is  , can you accept it?" Lu Hong naturally refused to give in on the negotiation issue. This is a matter that involves long-term interests in the future, so how can we agree easily.  Anderson was in a good mood when he heard Lu Hong's statement. Today, the United States has become the world's factory. What products cannot be purchased in the United States, especially under the pressure of the economic crisis, many domestic industries have gone bankrupt. Two or three years ago,  The large backlog of products has not yet been sold out, which makes overseas trade competition fierce As for other things that Lu Hong may want to purchase, in his opinion, there is no big problem at all. A Chinese jeweler  What can I purchase?  "Mr. Lu, there is no problem at all. I will ask the secretary to prepare a list and provide it to you tomorrow." He looked greedily at the gem sample brought by Lu Hong on the table and gave 4,000 taels of silver.  However, considering the expansion of domestic luxury consumption in the United States over the years, the price of this batch of jewelry may be doubled after being shipped back. If this business alone can continue for a long time, my overseas company  A trading company is enough to survivethis is big business!  When talking about overseas purchases just now, Lu Hong thought of the Howell torpedo that he had been talking about before. However, considering that the price of this thing is more than 300 pounds, which is almost 1,200 taels of silver when converted into silver, he really cannot do it now.  For play!  Therefore, he immediately suppressed the idea of ??using his own money to serve the country, at least let Cai Tingqian reimburse us for our talents!  He and Big Beard asked about the economic conditions in Europe and America. Anderson was hesitant at first, but after Lu Hong exposed the economic crisis in Europe and the United States, he frankly told some of the situation he knew.  Soon, the two parties completed the negotiation of the purchase and sale contract. Before each transaction, jewelry experts from both parties would evaluate the batch of gemstones. After reaching an agreement, Anderson would pay 70% of the contract price first and provide the other 30%.  Pledge of exchange notes.  After everything was settled, Lu Hong began to think about how to operate it safely. Although Qin Tianmin was trustworthy, he still didn't want him to get involved. At present, it seemed that he had to handle the transaction himself  In the evening, he took Sima Qi back to Dashengxing Jewelry Store and negotiated with shopkeeper Hu about the gem appraisal. Hu Yifeng was very happy with the appraisal and valuation of each batch.The rebate is 0.2%, and Sima Qi gets 1% rebate. The higher the price negotiated, the greater the rebate will naturally be.  Today, the two of them have made as much money as they did in the past one or two months from Lu Hong's business. When Lu Hong said that the amount of this transaction exceeded their expectations, the two of them naturally signed the contract without hesitation.  Sima Qi even vowed to raise the price of this big business to make a fortune In the next two days, Lu Hong successively paid 2 yuan for the first batch of goods at the Dade Heng Bank in Shitou Hutong.  Thirteen thousand taels of silver were deposited The total of five small bags of jewelry completed in two days was half of the amount of jewelry he currently carried. He was not in a hurry to clear it all at once, in order to continue to maintain the relationship with Shopkeeper Hu and Sima Qi.  Regarding business relations, I am a new face in Beijing, so some things may be easier to handle through these two people!  In the evening of the third day, when he returned to Huang Tifang's house, Qin Tianmin was still discussing scriptures with Wu Shengxi in the garden. After all, this guy was born in Linsheng, but as expected, he and Wu Shengxi saw Lu  To be honest, both of them were surprised when Hong came back. Lu Hong had been mysterious and mysterious for the past two days, and they didn't know what he was doing. However, they were not gossipy enough to ask directly.  Wu Shengxi said hello and walked away with the book, while Qin Tianmin said mysteriously: "My dear friend, Mr. Huang Shaoji and Mr. Huang just came to deliver a message, saying that early tomorrow morning, Mr. Huang would take you to the military aircraft office.  I want you to be prepared Don¡¯t take what you said in the copy seriously. There is no benefit in going to the army, and there are risks! " Lu Hong patted this guy on the shoulder,  He smiled and said: "Brother Qin, this matter is not my idea, but now it is related to the safety of the country. If this matter comes true, it will be a good thing for the country and the people Of course, I  If there is an opportunity to serve the country, it is a rare opportunity! " "" Qin Tianmin stared at Lu Hong. He thought a lot about his benefactor, but he still couldn't understand it clearly.  If he wanted to make money, he could have done business in Feixian County or Mengyin, or he could have made a fortune by doing business in other places. Unexpectedly, he eagerly followed Qingliu boss Huang Tifang to the capital to get involved.  National affairs That's what a small person like me should get involved in. In this capital city, just throwing a stone can kill several high-ranking officials. This Lu Hong, I really don't know what he is thinking!  Lu Hong obviously also saw this guy's strange expression. He chuckled and said, "Brother Qin, I'm afraid you will have to go to the official department to do more activities. The money will soon be available. You can make a living as a governor of the state."  Errand By the way, if you want to donate to a prefect, how much money will it cost? " "Prefect I'm afraid this is too difficult!" Qin Tianmin had a big black line on his face. He had never planned to donate to the prefect. This is so-called.  Three years after the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate received one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, but there was a real shortage. Although after Tongguang Zhongxing, the number of people donating officials increased greatly, but the actual shortage was rare, resulting in a sharp decline in the price of donating officials. During the Xianfeng period,  It costs 17,000 taels of silver to donate an alternate platform, but now it only costs 7,500 taels.  However, if the candidate for the fourth-grade Taoist official is sent to the local area until there is a real vacancy, the local governor will usually arrange a position as a low-level yamen clerk. Apart from participating in yamen discussions once a month, he actually has nothing else to do.  In fact, it's all about unemployment. You have to earn back the 10,000 taels of official donation money. Even if you wait for decades, there may not be such a high-quality official position available.  When he explained the situation to Lu Hongyi, Lu Hong was a little dumbfounded. As a time traveler, he didn't understand the market as well as Qin Tianmin. It seemed that the competition for the position of civil servant was really fierce, so he should let Qin Tianmin handle Xiaozhi County by himself.  After thinking about it for a moment, he still gave a few words of advice, "Brother Qin, if we want to build an industry, this port is the most important place. If the Shandong border cannot donate to the actual work, the Jiangsu border is actually not a bad idea.  , Even if you go to the south, it's better to go to the inland! " Qin Tianmin had spent a lot of time with Lu Hong, so he naturally knew that transportation was the most important condition for whether he could start the industry if he donated it to the official position. He immediately nodded in agreement.  Next, I thought about waiting for things to be settled here, and immediately went out to walk around. This official position that is in short supply is not so easy to find.  Later that night, after Huang Tifang returned home, she went to find Lu Hong again. The little old man still had the same serious expression. He spoke after a long while, "Lu Hong, Mr. Weng has already seen the copy you submitted.  It has been two days. Today, Mr. Li Hongzao and I went to ask about this matter again. Mr. Li finally agreed to meet you. Please make more preparations today. Tomorrow, you must let Mr. Li know the details of how you handled the matter If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will not be able to do it again.  No chance!" Having waited for this news for many days, Lu Hong no longer felt as much anticipation as he had before. He nodded seriously. He was not prepared for the little old man's tireless efforts to mention this to Weng Tonghe.  If Huang Tifang hadn¡¯t felt so much admiration and gratitude from the bottom of her heart,?The fate of the country is related, so why would he focus on his immediate superiors as soon as he took office?  Of course, he didn't know what Weng Tonghe had said in reply to Huang Tifang before, but at this moment, he only had one idea in his mind. The plan that had been brewing in his heart for a long time finally had a chance to try.  Make a contribution at every moment. If it fails, then you should start with the industry in peace and contentment!  However, at this moment, he has a firm belief that is, he must succeed!  [Brothers, if you have a recommendation ticket, please give it a try, thank you~~]
