1850 American Gold Tycoon

"Arms, grain, cloth, coal, if possible I hope you can buy some Russian Empire war bonds, I think this is a very promising investment.

His Majesty the Tsar will also remember that you extended a helping hand to us during the most difficult time of the Empire. " Muravyov said.

Liang Yao looked at Muravyov as if he was crazy.

Buy Russian war bonds?

I have nowhere to spend my damn money, right?

"My arms are very expensive. Do you have enough gold and silver?" Liang Yao said unhurriedly.

"As for your country's war bonds, if your country's war bonds are valuable, you don't have to spend a lot of money to come all the way to Xiangshan to find me."

Muravyov felt a little disappointed when he heard this. Judging from Liang Yao's tone and attitude, Liang Yao would not buy the Russian Empire's war bonds.

At most, Muravyov could only buy some military supplies and daily necessities from Liang Yao.

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough gold and silver, but we have a lot of high-quality furs! Our furs are very popular in northern China and Japan. As long as you can sell these furs to Japan or northern China, you can also get enough of silver," Muravyov said.

"It's too troublesome." Liang Yao shook his head and said, "And I'm not short of furs either. Oregon also produces high-quality furs."

The fur in Siberia is indeed of the best color and quality, and is the best among furs.

As long as these furs are transported to California for processing, made into finished clothing and hats, and sold to the eastern United States or wealthy Western Europe, the profits are still very considerable.

It is true that you can make some money by selling these furs directly to northern China and Japan, but the profit of rough processing products is there, not much higher.

Liang Yao wants these furs, but he wants to keep the price down. Now no one in the entire Pacific region dares to buy Muravyov's furs except Liang Yao. The current situation is very conducive to Liang Yao's price reduction.

"I can take some losses and give you some discounts, but I need you to agree to some conditions." Liang Yao said.

"What conditions?" Muravyov asked with a frown.

"From now on, you cannot interfere in any affairs related to the Ezo region." Liang Yao said in a very tough tone, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Ezo was the barbarian conquered by the Japanese shogunate general, and became the island of Hokkaido in the future.

Japan's complete control of Hokkaido was after the Meiji Restoration. At this time, the sovereignty of the island was still in the hands of the Ezo people.

Controlling Hokkaido to contain Japan was the basic strategy formulated by Liang Yao.

There are too many Wazu people on Honshu Island, Kyushu Island, and Shikoku Island. Liang Yaomei can achieve complete control, but there are not many Wazu people on Ezo Island. As long as there is enough time, Liang Yao still hopes to completely control Ezo Island and achieve containment. The purpose of shocking Japan.

Of course, not only Liang Yao has a strong interest in this island, but the Russians also covet Ezo Island.

During the period when Deng Yan was the commander of the US military stationed in Japan, he often had conflicts with Muravyov on the Ezo issue.

For this reason, Liang Yao had to transfer the Chaoyong to Japan at that time to scare the Russians.

Liang Yao's request, attitude and tone made Muravyov very unhappy.

In the Far East, he has always been the only one who has a tough attitude towards others. This is the first time that others have such a tough attitude towards him.

But now Muravyov is in a difficult situation. Faced with this unacceptable request made by Liang Yao, he doesn't have many choices.

"Hahaha, General Liang, you are taking advantage of the situation." Muravyov clenched his fists.

"Hahaha, your words are wrong, Governor-General." Liang Yao said with a smile, "Ezo Island is not the territory of the Russian Empire, so why should I take advantage of it?"

"Okay, I promise you." Muravyov said.

"It's empty talk, but it's better to make an agreement. If disputes arise again in the future, we can have evidence." Liang Yao said.

As Liang Yao pushed further, Muravyov's expression gradually became distorted, and his small impatience messed up his big plans. In order to obtain Liang Yao's supplies, Muravyov chose to be patient and accepted Liang Yao's request. .

Muravyov suppressed the anger in his heart, made an agreement with Liang Yao and signed the agreement.

After signing, Muravyov put away his pen and said: "Your Excellency, are you satisfied now?"

Liang Yao smiled and nodded: "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied."

"What about the furs for arms and food?" Muravyov asked.

"In my capacity, I am only responsible for making the decision of whether to sell or not. Regarding how to sell and how much to sell, Your Majesty the Governor can negotiate with my assistant." Liang Yao put away the contract he had just signed with Muravyov and said calmly. .

It seems reasonable and reasonable to have Muravyov and Carnegie discuss specific matters regarding the purchase of arms and other supplies.

In fact, it was a humiliation for Muravyov.

Muravyov almost got angry. You are a major general of the American Army. I was a major general of the Russian Empire more than ten years ago. It stands to reason that I, the governor, should be a step above you, a major general of the army. Now you actually want me and Talk to your assistant.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty the Governor, is there something wrong?" Liang Yao asked knowingly, staring at Muravyov's gradually distorted face.

Muravyov took a deep breath to calm down his emotions. If he hadn't been under the eaves and had to lower his head, with his temper, he would have beaten Liang Yao today.

Of course, this kind of idea can only be an idea now. Muravyov cannot afford to beat Liang Yao. Furthermore, Liang Yao is strong and looks capable of fighting. If a fight breaks out, Muravyov is not sure of beating Liang Yao down. .

If Muravyov had no patience at all, Nicholas I would not have handed over the power of Siberia to Muravyov.

"Your arrangements are very secure." Muravyov forced an ugly smile on his face.

"My deputy also knows more about specific matters than I do. I will let my deputy discuss specific matters with your assistant. You are right. In our position, we only need to make decisions on specific matters. It should be left to the people below.”

After Carnegie and Muravyov's deputy negotiated specific transaction matters, Muravyov left the teahouse in a not very happy mood.

After Muravyov left, Liang Yao walked to the window of the tea house, and the construction site under construction near the tea house caught Liang Yao's eyes.

These are Xiangshan people who made their fortune in California building new homes.

"The Rakshasa Russians are ambitious. A contract cannot hold them back. They bowed to us today when they encountered difficulties." Deng Yan watched Telaviyov go away, then turned to Liang Yao and said.

"If the war between them and Britain and France ends, this contract will be a piece of waste paper in their eyes."
