Chapter 144 the day after the meiji restoration (10)
The cherry tree in the yard, whether it was a magpie or a sparrow, chirped and chirped
There were dewdrops on the leaves
If the dewdrops were too heavy, they would flow down
If they were caught by another leaf, it would be like overturning a small basin and turning over like a wave
Huang Xuan was the only one living in the courtyard room
He was still asleep, and there were hurried footsteps outside the door
"Who is it
" Huang xuan drank a mouthful of water and put aside the blanket that he had casually covered himself last night
" Mitsui Gaosui brought the other four," Lorraine replied quickly
In an age without electronic information, figuring out the identity of the other party is also a difficult task
" Looks like they're in a hurry
" Huang Xuan tidied up his clothes, sat lazily on the floor, leaned against the wall, and said," Yan qi didn't come
"" No
"" What about the fallen troops
Are there any signs of leaving
" In front of the To Be Able To Stop, Lorraine did not waste energy, watching day and night
" The fallen troops in Osaka are not ready to leave, nor are there any signs of british cargo ships or mass production of guns
" Nodding, Osaka was the largest industrial base in japan apart from Edo
Although modern machinery was scarce, as long as there were not enough guns produced, the fall army could only rely on the british
If by chance, a british ship came to japan to sell arms, he could not say that he was going to sink it
According to Lorraine, sinking a 1000 ton armored ship within 300 kilometers of the capital city could require 300 million yuan of electricity, equivalent to the price of 40 tomahawk cruise missiles
He was not prepared to do this unless he had to
Yan qi was not as successful as after the meiji restoration, but in Osaka, or in the guandong region, he had a great influence
As the predecessor of the joint organization of Chamber of commerce, he had a good development of the house storage, and the overall financial resources were only slightly inferior to the Mitsui family
As for the businessmen who were politically inclined to the Shogunate army, they were almost all broken up
Huang Xuan wondered if Yan qi built mitsubishi by plundering the property of these shogunate merchants
Iton Bowen stood behind Mitsui Gaosui with his back hunched
When Huang Xuan opened the door after washing up, he raised his head alertly and looked at the man who brought the latest technology to japan
This was a young and overbearing chinese, but different from the qing dynasty people he often saw, not only his hair, but more of a temperament
In his memory, only those arrogant foreigners had this innate sense of superiority, just like the inferiority of a small country and few people in japan
Iton Bowen was still thinking about it
Mitsui Gaosui had already started his usual conversation
Although he was very anxious outside the door and made a noise to wake Huang Xuan up, when he sat in the room, he started talking about the weather again, like an obasan
Casually, Mitsui waited until the waitress who was preparing the hotel brought tea and snacks before she seemed to wake up and said," Huang Officer hasn't had breakfast yet
I'm really sorry
"" You haven't eaten either
" Huang xuan's words carried a hint of ridicule
Mitsui said unconsciously," I only ate a little when I went out
"" Let's eat together
" Huang Xuan pushed the plate and said," I didn't expect there to be chinese food here
You probably don't eat much either
" Mitsui chuckled and said something casually
With a look in his eyes, Iton Bowen sat up straight, cleared his throat and said," Iton Bowen, may I ask what Huang Officer's drawing price is
" Similar to the corporate culture of modern japan, people with higher status rarely actively introduce people with lower status
" One million taels of silver, as we said
" The ignorant Huang Xuan had not yet had the chance to hear of Iton Bowen's name
In his way of learning, it would have been difficult for him to know about the Mitsui tycoon if it had not been for the influence of his family and mother
Iton Bowen smiled and said," if Huang Officer wants to draw a complete drawing now, it will take a long time
" With the complete design and the instruction manual, even if it was copied, a person could be used for several months, and Huang Xuan had nothing, the japanese naturally suspected
She pursed her lips and said," as long as you can afford it, you can have as many drawings as you want
" He really didn't brag
It seemed that the japanese relied on Iton Bowen to negotiate today
He smiled and stretched his moustache twice
He stroked his clothes on his legs without bothering with the blueprints
" We really can't afford that much money, but there's always 200,000 taels of silver
" She burst into laughter and stood up to leave, saying," then, there's nothing to talk about
" Mitsui Gaosui quickly got up, stood at the door of the harmony room and said," Huang Officer, although we can't bring out the cash, we can use the goods as collateral
" He didn't really want to raise the price, it was just a statement
He sat down again and said," how much collateral can you take out
" As he spoke, he waved his hand again and said," lord Li Hongzhang will be here in ten days
If the deal can't be completed before then, there's no need to say
" Iton Bowen's heart was" as expected," and he said to Huang Xuanxiao," Huang Officer, are these blueprints originally prepared for us by the upper kingdom of the qing dynasty
" His words were very tactful, and Huang Xuan sneered," to you
To north korea, it's about the same
800,000, one price
If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it
"" Huang Officer, let's always see the drawings
" Iton Bowen said roundly
After a few sneers, Huang Xuan turned around and opened the large cabinet used by the hotel to store the bedding
Filled with drawings, they were immediately poured out
Shan wei yong san hurriedly went to pick it up
Huang xuan didn't want to kneel down, so he spread his legs and leaned against the wooden wall, saying," there's almost a fifth of it here
The rest, wait until I see the money
" Iton Bowen looked at a drawing and said," it takes years to build a steel plant
If there is no one to guide it, it is easy to have problems
Huang Officer has time
"" No
" Huang Xuan knew he wanted to lower the price, but he didn't really care about it
His bottom line was 200,000 taels of silver, not as high as the japanese thought
Hearing Huang Xuan follow his words, Iton Bowen immediately said," Huang Officer, without any guidance, we have to spend a lot of money to find foreigners
This will make our money even more nervous
"" Then don't buy it
" Huang Xuan had already narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't want to speak
Iton Bowen and Mitsui Gaosui looked at each other the same way
The latter waved and finally said," Huang Officer, last time you said you wanted to buy some abalone to bring back, I don't know what kind of abalone you want
"" What's there
"" The best products in the Wangbao are the famous products made by the huagu family, and the best ones are the wulang family of shipingtian
The best products are the hemp abalone made by the xionggu family
Wouldn't you like to bring some back
" Mitsui Gaosui was very understanding
It was not known that there were famous abalone cooks
In fact, even in modern times, they were the best japanese abalone cooks, but they had to go to Hongkong to cook
" What are the prices
"" A catty of Wangbao 300 taels of silver, the best abalone and hemp abalone only need 200 taels
" The jin he said was naturally Sima jin
300 Taels of silver, according to the current silver price, about 175 us dollars, a conservative estimate, about 500 us dollars, at this price, only one head of fresh abalone can be eaten in Guangzhou
A Wangbao that sold for 35 million yuan was a piece of cake
Thinking of the price, Huang Xuan shuddered and scolded himself for being useless
He pretended not to wake up and rubbed his face
" Then the remaining 600 thousand taels of silver will be replaced with abalone
" Iton Bowen looked at Mitsui and smiled
" Huang Officer, not to mention there are so many abalones, there are too many 600,000 taels
Is there a total of 400,000 taels of silver
" He didn't dare to say 300,000 taels directly
" You can take your time to think about it
You can take these drawings and look at them first
If you want, prepare abalone and silver now
One abalone will be calculated according to the price you said
The price of two abalones will be divided by four per kilogram, and the price of three abalones will be divided by 16, so calculate it in turn
" At this time, the concept of several abalones had actually been developed, but the japanese were not good at this and did not eat much
Iton Bowen was a little stunned
Huang Xuan had already moved out of the room and said," I want to go to the capital first
When I come back in a few days, half of the foreign guns in the other house are made
I'll leave you with the deposit
When I come back, I hope you can figure out how much to pay
" The living" sex" biological bomb had just arrived
It was said that his imperial majesty was in the palace of the capital until he moved the capital
If he did not deal with the" chaos" there, he would waste many To Be Able To Stop
As he said this, he stretched and walked out with Pawn Wei, who also yawned
Even a hero would feel sleepy if he stayed up late
