Chapter 42 Spitsbergen (6)

Wei Lu Wei was a Dutch East India Co resident in svalbard, Governor general, but not Holland resident in svalbard, Governor general, so his orders could only be passed through the interior of the East India Company

For businessmen affiliated to the East India Company, whether to listen to the company's advice or not only depends on the distribution of benefits, only those who work for the company will obey the order

As a result, Huang Xuan's small stall not only did not reduce the number of people in front of it, but also increased the volume of transactions

To his surprise, most people were unwilling to sell whale oil, even at the european purchase price last year

One day and one night, Huang Xuan sold 300 tons of food and all the spices, and the original samples on his stall were taken away, but because there were too many people trading, it was too late to put them on

By the morning of the next day, there were fewer and fewer people

But around the warehouse, sailors were lying all over the place

Most of them came as porters to earn extra money, and some were sent by the captain

When there was no work to do, they lay on the cold ground to rest

Rubbing his eyes in the hope that it would ease the fatigue of the night, he was in a state of mental tension and excitement

So far, he had received 3,500 Florin

Although they were temporarily put into the plane passageway, those tall and powerful sailors did not know that he was still worried

If someone shouted, what would the red-eyed people do

Fortunately, the red haired men were at peace for the time being

Another batch of grain was sent out of the warehouse

Huang xuan took a breath, took out the registration slip in his hand and shouted, "Who is Mr

Kerry

" Kerry was the big nose that Huang Xuan had seen before

He bent slightly and rushed out of the corner

He grabbed Huang Xuan's hand and said," Mr

Fei Lipu, it's me

Don't shout

"" Oh

" Huang xuan shrugged and said," um

Mr

Kerry

"" It's me

" Kerry's nose seemed to be sweating

He looked at the warehouse behind him and said," shall we talk inside

"" Right here

" Huang Xuan shook his head

He kept himself in the public eye, even when he went to the warehouse to see the goods

Only by being vigilant could he reduce the greed of others

" It's not convenient here

" Big nose obviously didn't like this place

It was too eye-catching

He shook his head persistently

" Okay

" Kerry licked his lips, turned his head towards the door and said," I want to buy your sugar

How much more do you have

" As he spoke, he spread out his clenched palms, which were filled with white sugar brought by Huang Xuan

" About 6000 pounds, maybe a little more

What's wrong

" Huang Xuan had always wondered why the spices were sold so cleanly while the sugar was not sold at all

He had originally speculated whether it was related to the difference in the plane, where europe already had sugar, but he did not know that it was all because someone had the heart to take all the sugar as a sample

" Make a price

" His big nose trembled slightly, as if he was scared and excited

Squinting his eyes, he tapped his fingers on the wall of the warehouse

After a moment of thought, he said," you want all 6,000 pounds

"" Yeah

" The dutchman was impatient and asked," make a price

I don't have much time

"" I think we have to wait for Mr

Hu An

He also wants this cane sugar

Look, his fleet will arrive in the afternoon

" Kerry wrinkled his nose

He didn't like the spanish name

He looked down at huang xuan and said," hoi, guawa, from the island

I know you want to charge a high price

Don't play tricks

"" Really

" Huang Xuan didn't care about such low-level threats, and the dumbest kid in the The huang family wouldn't change his mind

He shrugged, picked up the registration form, and was ready to call the next person

Kerry had no choice but to cover the paper with his palm and raise his other hand

" God bless you, my price will satisfy you

"" Maybe you can come back in the afternoon

" Huang Xuan did not move his frostbitten hand away, but put his hand behind his back with the registration form

" I'm leaving this afternoon

Take my boat with me, understand

" Kerry looked around and no one noticed him

He decided not to work with wei lu anymore

He wanted to go back to europe

As long as he brought 6,000 pounds of pure white sugar, he could live well in any country in europe

Now, he has a total of 8000 Florin, which is his entire fortune

Uh, plus some money for whale oil

Wei Lu Wei was old and his judgment was declining

He used the price of european whale oil to buy it last year

Who would do such a stupid thing, even if there was a war, the most valuable thing would not be whale oil, but more likely to transport difficult food, who cared about the bloody war supplies, only the guy who was confused by the title

"1,000 Florin per thousand pounds

" Kerry couldn't help but offer

He didn't have time to spend here

Who knows when Wei Lu Wei would think of him

Time was also tight, but he still pretended to say," look, Mr

Hu An has ordered this batch of sugar

I can't sell it to you

""1100 Florin

" Kerry offered again and suppressed the thought of looking around

"1400

" This was Lorraine's suggestion

14 Florin could buy a sheep, and it was fair to trade half a ton of sugar for 100 sheep

But then Huang Xuan thought of tulips

If it was 1400 Florin, he could buy about a fifth of the" forever Augustus

" What a pervert

Kerry wrinkled his big nose and bargained," 1,200

That's all I have

" Looking at him, he could stay here for another day, so he shook his head firmly and said," looks like I have to wait for Mr

Hu An

" Kerry was gasping for air and his fists were clenching

Huang Xuan gave him a casual look and attacked a level 22 time traveler with a strong backing

Big nose left in disappointment

He couldn't use all his assets to buy the sugar in Huang Xuan's hands

That was too risky, although offending the East India Company was even more risky

Turning the register to the next page, Huang Xuan felt very tired

He had never stayed up all night to work, and now it was an experience

Another englishman traded a boat of whales for half a boat of wheat

England was a country used to importing wheat

After a few years, they would also import wheat from Norway

Huang Xuan just moved the time forward

In the evening, Huang Xuan's main job was to buy

It was a stupid idea for him to spend all his gold coins and bring metal products home, at least for now

Opening a warehouse at will, huang xuanze waited outside the door while the buyer ordered his own goods

Looking at the sailors shouting at the other side, carrying bags of grain, a green-eyed guy shouted," be careful, don't spill it

" The owner who wanted to sell the whale would unload the whale on the dock near the warehouse

After the declaration of huang, a large group of paid sailors would try their best to drag it into the nearby rented warehouse, and Lorraine would use all the means he could think of to steal the whale meat from the dock or warehouse

If necessary, he might even knock out the workers on the dock

He was the only one who slept on the ground anyway

This was perhaps the happiest time in Green bay in the last 10 years

All shipowners who docked at the port were informed of this news

Not only would East India Company buy whale oil at a european c

I

f

Price, but people would also be willing to buy any part of the whale, and they could also exchange it for good quality food

What could be happier than earning more money

Only the owners of the small boats tightened their faces

Because of the small boats, most of them only cut off the most valuable whale oil after catching the whale

Only the hundreds of tons of ships were willing to bring the whole whale back to the port and replenish the fresh water

In this feast, the owners of the small boats could only comfort themselves

After all, the price of whale oil has risen, and the empty space can be rented to other shipowners, or take this time to go to sea again, and this time, the whale body will never be lost again

Not knowing that he had changed the fate of many people, he dragged his heavy eyelids and called out every name on the register, either to collect money, or to exchange, or to pay for every whale he saw

As for whether it was an arctic whale or a baleen whale, Huang Xuan could not care less

Filled with a warehouse full of whale meat, huang xuan picked up a dry towel to wipe his frosty face and complained," why isn't there any frost protection here

"" They should have given you whale oil to wipe your face

" It was Hu An, who had disappeared for a day, whose hair was glued to his temples by the damp sea breeze, and he looked very down and out

" That smell is too fishy

" Huang Xuan sniffled and said," I thought you weren't coming

"" You still have the white sugar I asked for, right

" Hu An was a little anxious

He came back at the risk of overturning the boat

He spread out his hand and said," although you didn't give me a deposit, I still left them in the warehouse, but I don't promise to sell them to you

"" Thank you, dear brother

" Hu An was so excited that he opened his hands and tried to hold Huang Xuan, but he was nimbly avoided

"1400 Dutch shields per thousand pounds, or equivalent whales

" Huang Xuan did not let go of Hu An's enthusiasm at all

Every businessman was very enthusiastic about the price

Hu an exhaled a white breath and stared at huang xuan

" We're friends, aren't we

""1400 Dutch shields, or someone else

" The shells of this level were not even coated with sugar

Huang xuan shook the register in his hand and said," come back to me after you think about it

" The spaniard was still thinking about it when Kerry, with his big nose, rushed out from behind the warehouse and looked around carefully

He squinted at hu an and said," 1400 Florin, I want it

" He opened his hands again and shrugged

" So, which one of you wants to take 6,000 pounds of sugar the most

I want 8400 Florin

"" Me

" The spaniard and the dutchman spoke at the same time, then glared at each other, their big noses scrambling," did we talk first

"" It's us

" Hu An retorted," I ordered this batch of sugar

"" But I didn't pay the deposit

" Big nose obviously heard the conversation

He took out a pocket on his body and shook it, saying," look, I have brought the deposit

" Hu An raised his neck and shouted," me too

" His loud voice made his big nose flinch, but he soon forgot about the crowd around him

He looked up and said in dutch word by word," this is mine

" When hu an tried to refute, Huang Xuan stopped their conversation

The 1400 Florin was already a very high price, otherwise Kerry wouldn't have thought about it for so long, so there was no need to raise the price

" So, both of you, I need the whale more than the dutch shield right now, so who gives me the most whale first and who will get this batch of sugar

"" No problem

" They looked at each other and hu an said," but it's too far to send the oil here

"" Just stay on the boat

" Huang Xuan was still impatient to wait here to pretend to be in the warehouse

He clicked on the warehouse behind him and said," every thousand pounds is a unit

Whoever prepares the corresponding goods first can take away 1000 pounds of sugar, right

"" Of course
