Just as Juren Huang and his servants were traveling around to give gifts, Xiao Letian was happily taking his subordinates to prepare for the celebration ceremony for tomorrow's opening. The foreign company was wiped with clean water inside and out, and the loess at the door was matted three layers and tamped three times, which was strong and flat. The key was to cover up all the stench yesterday.

When foreign companies open, they must spread invitations everywhere. Tanggu’s 300 foreign companies and black and white friends must have an invitation to deliver them. If they don’t come, they will talk about it, but this etiquette cannot be abolished, otherwise it will be troublesome to the scene.

There are too many things to do when opening the business. The coastal building has to be booked, and the flowing mats must be prepared in advance. The firecrackers with more than 100,000 sounds are customized from Liuyang, and people must be asked to take care of them. Even the covered bowls for the guests' tea, and the scattered copper coins that reward beggars must be prepared. There must be no mistakes on the happy days.

"There is a higher point on the left, yes... It's such a waste, are you hanging or hanging..."

"Here, let's put more effort into this, I'll treat you to Goubuli at noon..."

"What? Let me write two invitations... Do they know what I write foreign characters? Let's play..."

Xiao Letian was obviously very excited today. He ran back and forth in his Lotte Company, but he didn't help with anything, but caused a lot of trouble. Please come to more and faster chapters.

He was excited. He had never thought that he could start a company one day, and it was a multinational company. In addition, he had not yet passed the excitement of killing and setting fire last night, so this guy jumped up and down and caused trouble for everyone. In the end, Fan Yan forced Xiao Letian to go out with a face, and then everyone invited this troublemaker away.

Xiao Letian took Master Long and two clever guys, bored around Tanggu Wharf, teaching Master Long to know the national flags of various countries, and then bargained with the fishermen selling seafood. He didn't even know that in the second floor guest room of a cargo station, a group of people were secretly observing him.

Hidden behind the window was the Niu Shopkeeper at Sihai Goods Station who had drunk wine with Ren. He was obviously the leader of this group of merchants, and everyone's eyes were focused on him without saying a word.

Manager Niu looked at it for a while, closed the window and whispered to everyone, "Everyone knows what happened last night, right? This Xiao Letian is not easy to bully. This is a Raptor. Xiaobiansun was completely defeated. I heard that he had asked those with the surname Xiao to kill several..."

The people of Tanggu already knew about the big fire in Huang Ju family today, and the people also knew that the fire was very strange, but only the real big shots knew the details behind the fire. The first update of Niu Zhanggui and the merchants around him was the one who was qualified to know the details. Now everyone looked solemn and stopped talking.

It took a long time before someone spoke, "Shopkeeper Niu, it's said that we have discussed with Mr. Huang to deal with Xiao Letian together, so we shouldn't regret it, but this incident last night was really...it really scared. After all, we are just businessmen. Is it really good to provoke such a person?"

Everyone echoed, but there were also opposition voices, "What should we do? We have already agreed to Ren, and now we regret it? He and Xiaopiansun can't do anything. Don't throw all the anger on us at that time... The business just got a little better, but I can't stand it anymore..."

"What should I do? The left side can't afford to offend, and the right side dares not offend us. In the end, we will be in trouble..."

Manager Niu saw everyone talking and sighed and said, "It's all quiet, and complaining can't solve the problem. If we are businessmen, we have to use the businessmen's method to solve it. I have a plan. Everyone see if it's feasible..."

After saying that, Manager Niu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. "On the day when the business is opened, it will arrange one or two business transactions to get good luck. This is also a routine. However, this Lotte Foreign Company is quite popular. Yesterday, Fan Ru actually visited me and wanted to buy some pig bristles from me..."

Through the introduction of Niu Zhanggui, people learned that Lotte Foreign Company had taken on such a big deal, and the Bristle deal of the French merchant ship "Lucky" actually made Lotte Foreign Company complete!

At Tanggu Port, a French merchant ship Lucky just arrived last month, carrying Indian opium and Javanese spices, including European hot-selling velvet, crystal lamps and other groceries. It was not until ten days ago that the goods were completely unloaded. Now is the time for a large purchase.

The goods that the merchant ship wanted to purchase from China this time were not only fixed tea, silk, and porcelain, but also one of the most important goods, that is, the bristles.

Most people may not understand how pig bristles can become an important commodity for ocean trade? But in modern human history, pig bristles trade is really a very important commodity.

When the petrochemical fiber industry was not on the rise, humans could only choose animal hair if they wanted to make brushes. Most animals' hair was too soft and could not make brushes at all. Please come in more and faster chapters. Only pig bristles are the exception. They are not only elastic but also because they are the hairs on breeding animals, so they are easy to mass-produce, which is regarded as a very important commodity by humans.

Housewives at home needed a bristle brush to clean the kitchen, factory workers needed a bristle brush to clean the machinery, and even crew members on the sea boats needed a bristle brush to clean the deck. At that time, China was one of the largest pig breeding countries in the world, and there was no way, so who made pork so marketable in China?

Therefore, since the Qing Dynasty switch, the bristle trade has been a very foreign exchange-making business. Although it is inconspicuous, it has made a lot of profits for the Qing Dynasty.

The captain of the Lucky has already said that as long as the Chinese merchant has a pig bristle, he is willing to buy it at a high price of one kilogram of Mexican Eagle Ocean. It will cost as much as it can be. Even if the Lucky cannot be stuffed, it doesn't matter. He would rather hire a ship to take it back to his country.

A word caused a thousand waves, and the entire Tanggu Sanbaiyang tried his best to transfer goods. This was a large merchant ship full of goods of 1,000 tons. If it was full of pig bristles, it would be a big business of one million silver dollars. What's more, Lucky has already said, how much is it, and in this way, the business can reach at least one million silver dollars, which is exactly one million silver dollars in the Qing Dynasty.

Such a large business almost made the merchants crazy. Countless pig bristles goods began to gather in Tanggu, and even the prices of pig bristles in Shanxi, Shandong and Henan began to float upwards. As for the prices of pig bristles in Zhili, the prices of pig bristles soared by 30%.

But just as everyone was excitedly waiting for the French merchants to start the acquisition, an unexpected news came out. The first update was three days ago. Captain Lucky suddenly spoke, and he handed over all the right to entrust the bristle trade to the newly opened Lotte Foreign Company. In other words, everyone's bristles can only be sold to Xiao Lotte, and the French will not collect bulk goods.

Manager Niu sighed, "I just got the accurate information yesterday afternoon. Xiao Letian is so proud that he has no limits. For this business, he actually entrusted the relationship between the US embassy. If an American comes forward, the French have to give face... Alas, I only believe it now. Xiao Letian is really in touch with the sky..."

"Not only that, Fan Yan sent someone to send me a message last night saying that he would not make a single piece of copper for this transaction. He would collect one dollar and hand over it for the sake of popularity..."

The crowd exploded with a loud bang. This was incredible. A million taels of trade was in vain? Ordinary businesses had to buy such a deal, which would be enough for ten years. Xiao Letian was so generous!

Seeing everyone's talkative discussion, Manager Niu knocked on the table, "Calm, quiet, quiet... The plan I mentioned is here. Tomorrow we will use this deal to support him Fan Jian's shop. We will open it to him for one dollar and one kilogram, and we will give it to him as much as you want, but... we have a condition, and we will settle the bill on the spot without owing a penny..."

After the shopkeeper Niu finished speaking, everyone present took a breath of air conditioning. This was really a conspiracy. The people present had at least six or seven hundred tons of pig bristles in their hands, and they piled up dozens of large warehouses. If they were all sold into cash, wouldn’t that be a mountain of gold?

"Not only can't owe money, we don't want to make a banknote, we have to see the cash bank. I don't believe that they will open the business with more than one million taels of cash bank? At that time, I will lose face in front of foreigners. I see how he will do business in the future..."

It's so vicious. This plot is really vicious. In the Qing Dynasty at that time, when it involved such a large transaction, both parties would allow a few days of payment period, and they did not say that they would settle the bill on the spot. The first update was that the Qing Dynasty did not have modern banks at that time, and the financial system was very backward, and there was no transfer or cheque at all. The buyer and seller would definitely leave time for the other party to raise silver. One million taels of silver is a full 35 tons of silver. How could such a large amount of wealth be placed in a newly opened trading business?

Manager Niu smiled slightly, "We are serious businessmen, we don't do illegal things, everything must be followed by the rules of doing business. If Xiao Letian doesn't have that much money, then leave Tanggu in shame and do business with the group of Shanxi vinegar people as soon as possible. Marine business is not as simple as he thought..."

"What if he really takes the silver?" someone asked carefully. This sentence made Manager Niu frown and ponder for a long time. "If he really can take out so much cash, then we should just bow our heads to him honestly and give in. To be honest..."

"But I still don't believe it. How many Hu Xueyans were there in the Qing Dynasty? If he could really give up so much money, he would be the famous Northern God of Wealth, at least as famous as Hu Xueyan... If he really reaches that level, I'm afraid the doomsday of Huang Juren and Xiaobians will come..."

The guest room at Sihai Goods Station was silent, and everyone felt a little cold. If they really offended a big man with a power that could reach the level of Hu Xueyan, how could they still be in the mall? It would be better to pack up and go home to see the children.

"This is a bet, this bet is too ruthless..."

It was not only the businessmen who were placing the bets by Niu Zhanggui and others. Now Xiaobiansun and Huang Juren are also gamblers. Mr. Huang is smiling and wandering around the Tonggong and Xietai yamen. Each of them gave 10,000 taels of silver and brought two actors away. This was the result of the two powerful masters nodding obscurely.

Xiaobiansun worked even harder. He led a group of gangsters to connect with the countryside, and the people were stunned by the benefits of making wishes and exempting taxes.

"I can't believe it but ask, but I can't believe it. Is it a thousand-dollar juren? You did it once last time, and nothing happened? As long as you make a big fuss this time, you will have three more dou of food to spare. After the autumn, the family will buy four more dou of food..."
