At this time, Fang Linyan said:

"I actually went to the market yesterday to inquire about news. Because of the possibility of a huge sum of money in the account, I specially hired someone from the Yuanshun Security Bureau to **** me, but I had some misunderstandings with the third master of the Qiao family. It's been said."

"Now I guess it's time to do it, Chongwenmen Market must have won in the past! Why don't Master Song come with me?"

Song Yuren is also a very pragmatic person. Now he begins to feel that the sixth master Hu in front of him may be very important to him, so he immediately said:

"As much as I wish, I dare not ask for an ear."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:

"Safety comes first. We are going to Chongwenmen Market and we are going to pass through Yuanshun, so let's call Fifth Master together."

***

After half an hour,

Fang Linyan came to the market with a group of people, but found that the place seemed to be swept by a typhoon. even howling loudly.

Fang Linyan frowned and suddenly whispered to Laurent:

"When did the news of the Battle of Toshima come?"

Laurent said:

"The newspaper, the informant from the special channel has left, so I didn't get the first-hand information, and it is said that the Toshima naval battle started at 4 am this morning and ended at 8 am this morning."

Fang Linyan calculated the time, no wonder the market here has become like this!

It is almost four o'clock in the afternoon. There are telegrams now. The Toshima naval battle started at four in the morning. No matter how much delay, by noon, if there is good news here, you will be able to get first-hand information.

At that time, although there was no result in the naval battle, it was already equivalent to the fact that the Japanese were insane, and even the civilian cargo ships of the British company were attacked! Obviously, in business, regardless of the situation of the whole country, the imported goods on the whole market will inevitably start to enter the bull market......

The spot kerosene and sugar that Fang Linyan bought with 60,000 taels of silver were all piled up in a temporarily leased warehouse not far from the market. Now the price on the market has soared three times, and there is still a price but no market. Only People are buying with money, but no one is willing to sell them.

The formation of this phenomenon actually has a lot to do with Fang Linyan's previous actions. His affair with Mr. Qiao last night has caused a sensation in the entire market.

In order to help him buy these two goods, the Qiao family also took 300,000 taels of silver to buy foreign goods, which really caused the phenomenon of sugar and kerosene in the market. In addition, there was a foreigner in the bulk. As soon as the purchase of these two types of goods spreads, some people will definitely be reluctant to sell them.

As a result, when the market opened this morning, the prices of sugar and kerosene had risen by almost 20%! That's an extra 20% profit!

By noon, the news of the Toshima naval battle had not yet come, and the price of these two goods had risen by almost 40%.

Then at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the bad news of the Battle of Toshima came. After a lot of chaos in the market, although the people who sold the goods made money before, they were so annoyed that they wanted to find a rope to strangle themselves and stock up the goods. People are smiling....

When Fang Linyan walked into the Qiao's warehouse, it was also a mess of porridge, but what surprised Fang Linyan was that everyone from the man to the shopkeeper seemed to treat him with smiles and enthusiasm, and the big shopkeeper was even more I came to meet you in person, and please go to the upper room.

This really made Fang Linyan quite surprised, because in his heart, this time he did business with the Qiao family warehouse, it can be said that he put the Qiao family together, so that the Qiao family not only lost face, but also lost in the transaction. heavy.

Although in fact the Qiao family did not lose any money, it would not be very happy to see that the hugely profitable goods they received could not make any money and had to be handed over to others.

After the tea was served, Fang Linyan was about to speak when the shopkeeper (who had already changed his name) said with a smile:

"Master Hu Liu, please wait a moment. Our third master said that as long as you come today, he will personally receive you. Mr. Fei Pori came to visit the third master just now, and the meeting should be over soon."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll wait a while."

As a result, while waiting, someone suddenly passed by in the corridor outside. Fang Linyan didn't pay attention at first, but this person stopped and looked inside, and then walked in immediately. Fang Linyan saw it only yesterday. The seventh uncle Hu Xueming.

At this time, Hu Xueming looked much more haggard than last night. He was even ten years older, and his eyes were bloodshot. At first glance, he had a serious concern.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Linyan still followed the current rules, stood up and gave a salute, and took the initiative to call Seventh Uncle, but well, even outsiders could see the sense of alienation in it.

After Fang Linyan gave the salute, of course the rest of the people wanted to say hello. After Hu Xueming returned the salute, he frowned and looked at Fang Linyan and said:

"Lao Liu, come out, I have something to tell you."

Fang Linyan said in his heart that there is nothing to offer his affections, either a traitor or a thief, you lousy old man want to trick me? So he smiled and said:

"Seventh uncle, your old man has eaten more salt than the rice I have ever seen. If you want to teach me a lesson, you don't have to avoid people. If you have any good words, just say it. Yesterday, your old man taught me a good lesson in front of so many people. Do you want to? You don't have to save face for me today."

Hu Xueming was damaged by Fang Linyan's words with a gun and a stick, and his face suddenly turned purple with anger, and there was a "huchihuchi" sound from his nostrils, but after a few seconds, his mind also turned around. After a lot of thoughts, I could only swallow my anger and say:

"I'm not teaching you a lesson, I just want to discuss something with you."

Fang Linyan looked at the old man in front of him, and was about to speak when his mind flashed, but he saw Wang Wu and Song Yuren next to him. He felt that it was best not to let them see the side he showed next, so he smiled. road:

"Okay, let's go out and talk."

The two walked out of the Qiao's warehouse and found a quiet corner, and Hu Xueming said:

"Lao Liu, back then you did such a beastly thing to my family's emblem, and Uncle Seven finally let go. Otherwise, how could you be here today as a comprador for that Mr. Laurent?"

"As the saying goes, drink water and think of the source, you should actually owe my boss a favor!"

It was the first time Fang Linyan heard about his embarrassing incident, so when faced with Hu Xueming's words, he could only shrug his shoulders for a while, and then said:

"Well, then what?"

Hu Xueming showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said:

"It's like this, after you left yesterday, the third master of the Qiao family insisted on letting me drink tea and chat with me... And what about Wen Jun's words, better than ten years of reading books, and he must drag me to win Lou drink! Alas, I also reluctantly obeyed, but I ended up greedy for a few drinks and made a big mistake."

Speaking of which, Hu Xueming is probably also in the play, slapped his thigh and said:

"Yesterday during the banquet, the steward of the Qiao family was very rude. Hearing my words, knowing that I had a batch of foreign goods in my hand, he did everything possible to persuade me and wanted me to sell it to him. I didn't notice, and he really gave a good price at the time, so I was relieved."

Fang Linyan glanced at Hu Xueming and knew that the titular seventh uncle probably didn't tell the truth. He probably only believed the last few words. He sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth:

"What kind of foreign goods?"

Hu Xueming said urgently:

"It's three thousand boxes of fragrant pancreas from France!"

The so-called fragrant pancreas is actually a folk dialect that is actually soap. Thanks to the blessing of the Kanggan prosperous period of isolation and isolation, at this time, most of the daily necessities in this area still rely on imports.

Fang Linyan said calmly:

"Oh, what does Uncle Seven mean?"

Hu Xueming said angrily:

"Now that I think about it, the Qiao family's steward is obviously shameless to deceive me! Now each box of imported fragrant pancreas has even risen to seventy taels!"

"And everyone is still talking about it, the **** little Japan is so daring, even the people of Great Britain and Russia dare to kill, there is nothing else they dare to do, I am afraid that shipping will be cut off at least until the truce, What year and month should it be?"

"Since the Nanjing Treaty (the first Opium War), everyone is used to using foreign goods. Now it's good, the foreign goods on the market have increased by at least five times!"

Having said that, Hu Xueming said to Fang Linyan:

"Well, Xiao Liu, I think you can still talk in front of the third master of the Qiao family. You ask him to return my goods, and the sugar and kerosene in your hand will also be passed on to me. If there is any trouble inside, I will stand by your side."

After Fang Linyan heard Hu Xueming's words, he said leisurely:

"I finally understand why after Duke Xueyan went, the Hu family would fall so quickly."

Hu Xueming said oddly:

"why?"

Fang Linyan Road:

"Because there are too many people like you, Uncle Seven."

It was only at this time that Hu Xueming reacted, his eyes bulged and his face turned purple:

"Liu, I advise you not to be ignorant of flattery!"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"I don't know how to lift up since I was a child, isn't I living so big?"

After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Originally, Fang Linyan thought that no matter how thick-skinned people were, they wouldn't come to entangle them, right? Unexpectedly, someone would always challenge the corresponding lower limit, Hu Xueming suddenly shouted hoarsely:

"How can you help me!"

Fang Linyan moved in his heart and felt that he seemed to have overestimated the integrity and face of the seventh uncle, so he planned to be ruthless, but he didn't know much about "him" before, and couldn't think of the seventh uncle for a while. weakness.

But all of a sudden, Fang Linyan didn't know why, unexpectedly, he turned around on a whim and said with a sneer:

"You want me to help you, okay! Didn't you wrong me for what I did to your family emblem? I'm not convinced in my heart!"

"If you can let her stay with me for one night, I will promise you to help you mediate this matter!"

After saying these words, Fang Linyan glanced at Hu Xueming, and found that his face had turned purple with anger. It was obvious that he was extremely angry, and people couldn't help but worry about whether his cerebral blood vessels would go down. exploded in a moment...

Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan laughed, consciously finally getting rid of the candy, so he walked away.

When he returned to Qiao's shop, he found that the third master Qiao had come back and was chatting with Wang Wu and Lord Song. As soon as he saw Fang Linyan, the third master Qiao had already stood up and laughed at Fang Linyan. road:

"Young Master Sixth, you're here. You don't know that our Qiao family has exhausted all the strength in order to help you purchase this batch of goods!"

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"Qiao Sanye is joking. Shanxi Qiao's family is the world. You are too modest for such a trivial matter."

"I came here this time, but there is one thing I want to talk to Mr. Qiao."

Master Joe said:

"Okay, you say."

Fang Linyan Road:

"The goods I have here are now worth almost a million, right?"

Master Qiao laughed and said:

"You have entrusted the bank to buy 700,000 taels of goods before, and I said yesterday that I would compensate you, even if it was based on the value of the goods at that time, it was already almost 900,000 taels of white sugar and kerosene. ."

"Even at the current market price, this batch of goods is already worth 2.8 million taels. If the principal is removed, it will be 2 million taels. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Although Song Yu and Wang Wu already believed in Lin Yan, but when they heard Qiao Sanye say 2,800,000 taels of silver, they couldn't help but look at each other, shocked.

They really didn't expect that the infamous Hu Liu young master in front of him would really be able to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, and use his own strength to shake the situation of Jiawu!

Fang Linyan Road:

"I have an urgent matter here. I need to raise 500,000 taels of silver to take away from Master Song. Mr. Qiao is currently in charge of Da Detong. Don't you know how convenient it is to make 500,000 taels of money?"

Qiao Sanye's expression suddenly became serious, and he pondered for a while and said:

"The rule in the Great Detong is that I can make a decision on the mobilization of funds under 300,000 taels. I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to send a telegram to discuss it with my brother immediately."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"It's okay, Mr. Qiao, please do it yourself."

After about ten minutes, Qiao Sanye came back directly and smiled wryly at Fang Linyan:

"My brother said that there is no problem in principle, but he has an additional request and wants me to chat with you alone."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"No problem, Mr. Qiao, find a place, let's chat."

Then the two accused Song Yu and Wang Wu of the crime, and then came to the quiet room next to them, Qiao Sanye hesitated and said:

"Mr. Laurent, your assistant, Mr. Hu Liu, is really amazing. He actually received the news that the Japanese military was going to do it without authorization six or seven days in advance! And he still did it to the English!" (To be continued)
