Chapter 680

December 18, New York carnival.

At eight o'clock in the morning, nearly 300 trade offices opened their doors, and New Yorkers gathered on Wall Street and the new port area poured in frantically.

This may be the first organized and planned sel-off in human history. The clerks were unprepared and the scene was once very chaotic.

Less than nine o'clock, the 50% discount trade office led by Drake trade office began to sell out in a large area. The flow of people who wanted to be dissatisfied quickly turned to 70% discount, 20% discount, and then spread to 10% discount.

The charm of retail and department stores was vividly displayed in front of businessmen all over New York. The lighting Council gathered on the top floor of the dukov chamber of Commerce building on Wall Street, and the old friends were stunned one by one.

Pelamin of Spain is the most touched of all.

He looked at the crowd surging under his feet. Those blacks, whites and Indians were wearing linen, cotton cloth and crowded dresses, each full of difficulties.

From time to time, it can be seen that those who squeeze and mix their legs, regardless of their own appearance, are afraid that the flow of people will go along with the items he has worked hard to buy.

"If..." he pointed to a middle-aged lady who even squeezed her supporting skirt, "if I open a retail market in the upper city and fill it with daily necessities..."

"First of all, you have to have low-cost channels." lolin added with a smile. "The trade premium of the European and American line is generally 30% - 50%, and a small amount of scarce goods can reach 100%. If you can reduce the premium to 10%, you will certainly have a prosperous business."

"10%?" pelamin glared. "After removing the tax, my fleet has become a porter for the middle class and the poor? In case of any more accidents, do I have to bear the loss?"

"There's no way." Lorraine shrugged. "The middle class and the poor have always had demand for retail, but today's prosperity is not brought by demand, but cheap. Without cheap, they will still restrain their desire to buy. Even if you push the goods to their door, there can't be too many people willing to pay."

"Trust little Drake's eyes, old man." dukov laughed and put his arm around peramin's shoulder. "You may not know that this little guy has been testing the retail market in Miami."

"Drake invests the accumulated unsalable storage capacity into the garden market in Hekou town every month. I also tried several times. The recovered payment is about 20% higher than the bulk discount, and the collection speed is slow for nearly two weeks, which is half the pros and cons."

"That's because what you enter the market are defective products." Mr. prenditt interrupted. "Hekou market has developed a good retail habit. I tried to cast a batch of high-quality cotton cloth four months ago, which was almost robbed, but the profit decreased, and the operating cost was slightly higher than that of bulk shipments."

"The pros and cons are half and half." Lorraine concluded without authorization, "the trend of daily retail should be low-grade and low price, which must control the cost, especially the freight. The cost of shipping can not be reduced temporarily, so the nearest production is the best way out for retail."

"Nearby?" peramin thought for a moment, "but the manpower and land price in New York..."

"For the same factory, the average investment in New York state is more than 70% lower than that in New York, and the cost of Offshore Transshipment is lower than that on land. For retail in New York, you can consider setting up a factory on Long Island."

Dukov's eyes lit up: "little Drake, I heard you bought a large area of land in Brooklyn?"

"It was bought by the American branch, and the development plan is a shipping center. The goal is to share the business opportunities of New York port."

"But this means that Brooklyn town will have a high-quality shipping terminal in two years, doesn't it?" the Russian broke off the thick and thin fingers of carrots. "If New York, Boston and New England want to expand the field of daily use, they can buy land and set up factories in Brooklyn and queen County..."

The commotion in New York gradually subsided as the discussion focused on businessmen.

At 2:00 p.m., the second climax came. All kinds of rich people in New York gathered at St. Mark's church on the east side. Pierce and Sharon's wedding arrived in the most grand way.

Just when New York's eyes were attracted to the east side, Hamilton, who had been worried for a day, finally ended his work.

He walked out of the Federal Hall wearily, swearing at the inconvenient Edward KENWAY in the bottom of his heart, and walked to the carriage parked in the square.

At this time, the change suddenly occurred!

A dark figure in a heavy robe fell from the sky, raised his hand and made two red lights, trickily passed through the crowd and nailed Hamilton with a bang.

Hamilton fell in response, and the murder was in chaos. When people reacted, the dark shadow of the murder had long disappeared!

At 2:20 p.m., Alexander Hamilton, the interim Secretary of finance of the United States and a member of the Federal Parliament and constituent assembly, was stabbed outside the Federal Hall on Wall Street.

The murder weapon is a red velvet Throwing Knife. The assailant is wearing a robe and has a mysterious whereabouts. All these signs point to the famous super assassin in the Caribbean, the white flag rose thorn, asaxinhaina yesla.

The New York sheriff's Department poured out, and hundreds of sheriffs surrounded the wedding venue of St. Mark's church with long guns.

They formed a stalemate with the rich bodyguards outside the church. The tense atmosphere once made people suspect that a war would break out in New York.

But the atmosphere was unreadable.

Nervous, the wedding in the church did not stop because of the confrontation in the outfield. Pierce and Sharon still exchanged vows, rings and kissing ceremony under the gaze of the priest and the heavenly father.

After the ceremony, Lorraine took Haina's hand and walked out of the church.

He declared Haina innocent in front of the guns of all the guests and both sides of the confrontation, because Haina was in the first row of the ceremony from 1:45 to 3:15 during the whole wedding. She never disappeared in full view of the public, and naturally didn't have any time to go to Wall Street to assassinate and kill!

The guests present came forward to testify one after another, which made the development of the incident more and more out of control, and the officials of the public security department were in a mess.

At 3:40, Hamilton announced that he was out of danger. New York governor nori spen rushed to the scene of the confrontation in San Marco and asked the sheriff's department to take the gun back to the camp with the governor's order.

The crisis is over.

Lorraine personally sent governor Spencer to the carriage. When he entered the carriage, the governor suddenly said to Lorraine.

"During this time, the situation in New York was somewhat tense. General Washington thought Alexander's danger was not over, so he decided to leave him at the Federal Office's residence. If you want to see him, remember not to go to the wrong place."

"Really?" Lorraine smiled meaningfully. "Alexander is my friend. Even if it's unpleasant, I don't seem to have a reason not to visit. By the way, do you want to make an appointment in the federal office?"

"It seems to register at the gate post." the governor narrowed his eyes. "Although it's not clear, that's what my state capital is like."

"Registration at the gate post... Thank you."

"No thanks. It's the governor's job to answer taxpayers' questions." governor Spencer waved. "Bye, young man."

"Goodbye, Mr. governor."
