After the fairy disappeared

If palm oil and other specialty products cannot be sold, the first big business will be lost, which will be a big blow to the nascent Yangshan Islands.

It is not easy for people to start from scratch in a foreign land.

"Well, Wu Tiju." He Lingchuan pondered for a while.Wu Tiju's targeting of the Yangshan Islands was probably due to the two reasons mentioned by Guan Ke. "If his own interests conflict with ours, no matter how many gifts or favors we give, it will be useless."

This is where P shares determine the head.

Guan Ke added: "Palm oil is also produced near Blade Port. This season, a large number of foreign merchants come to the port to collect oil. In the next month, if we cannot seize the opportunity to successfully display and sell the palm oil from the Yangshan Islands, I am afraid that there will be inventory There will be more and more accumulated, and we won’t be able to sell it all by March or April next year. Then it will be a new harvest season, and old oil will not be as easy to sell as new oil.”

Qiu Hu sneered: "No wonder the Shipping Department refused to grant us a license. It turned out that they wanted to delay our business."

Needless to say, Wu Tiju’s own products are all sold out.If the best window period for sales is missed, He Lingchuan and Yangshan Islands will suffer heavy losses.

Ha, probably the Lu family father and son guessed that he didn't have much money in his hand, and made things worse for him last time. This time they wanted to drain the money from the bottom of the pot, and they tried one trick after another.

He Lingchuan immediately concluded that any more contact with Wu Tiju would be useless and would be a waste of effort.

He turned to Renee and said, "You used to sell palm oil, how much can the buyer get?"

Renee was startled: "They charge as much as I pay, there is no limit. But the jobs I used to do were all small jobs, how can they be compared to the battle you are doing now?"

"Contact your buyer, and then tell Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao, and also contact their original buyers, and get as much palm oil as you want." He Lingchuan said, "The price can be slightly lower than the market price. First, sell the inventory we have on hand. Drop some of it.”

Ding Zuodong also nodded: "We need working capital, so the sooner the better."

Renee responded yes.

They have all turned to pirates to buy palm oil. How can those informal buyers ask for a quality inspection permit from Blade Port?

He Lingchuan asked again: "You just said that he is from the lineage of Qingguo's uncle?"

"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get this lucrative job." Guan Ke told everyone, "The income from operating Blade Port accounts for at least [-]% of Qingguo's income."

Judging from the prosperity of Blade Port, the annual income here is not a small amount.Even if Wu Tiju is not greedy, he can still get grease from his fat hands.

"What is the status of this uncle in the court of Qing Dynasty?" He is not like the great Sima of Yuan Kingdom, who is tough and prickly.

The uncle of the state is the brother of the concubine of the king of Qing.

"Doctor Guanglu." Guan Ke didn't know much about the nobles in Qingguodu, "but his sister, Concubine Yu, is a powerful character. I heard someone from the Shibo Department mention that although Wu Tiju is Recommended by Uncle Ning Guo, but he actually takes orders directly from Concubine Yu."

"Relative." He Lingchuan hummed, "Wu Tiju hugged the imperial concubine's thigh, no wonder he got along so well. Don't they have enemies in the royal court?"

"Yes, Councilor and Political Councilor Weng Min and others will not deal with them."

He Lingchuan knew that participating in political affairs was equivalent to the position of deputy prime minister.There are factions in the court, this is normal.But Guan Ke didn't know what the specific dispute between the two parties was.After all, he makes a living in Blade Port, not the capital. These are just what others say. "Since we are rivals in the court, no one has participated in Wu's promotion?" Qiu Hu interjected, "I don't think this person named Wu is a good official."

"When Wu Tiju was still serving as a minister, Zhao Tiju was in charge of the Shipping Department. This man was exposed for corruption and was imprisoned. Only then did Wu Tiju have room for advancement." Guan Ke took a sip of tea. , was so bitter that his mouth was crooked.But this tea is bitter at first and then sweet, which is especially good for relieving the burnt taste of grilled skewers. "Wu Tiju has always been cautious because he has learned from past mistakes."

He Lingchuan was very interested: "How to be cautious?"

"I just told you that his family owns a hundred acres of forest? In fact, it is not in his name. In name, it belongs to his in-laws and several disciples." Guan Ke whispered, "The more than one hundred acres of forest land, including There are many precious wood species that are hundreds of years old and originally belonged to the Bailie people. I heard that dozens of acres of them were even owned by the Lu family, but somehow they were left empty for decades without anyone taking care of them. Later, Blade Port was leased to During the Qing Dynasty, these territories were also transferred over. Wu Tiju used many means to legally transfer these mountains and forests to his own name."

He Lingchuan raised his hand and paused.

Did you see your own head while watching the excitement?Tracing back to the source, Wu Tiju used the more than [-] acres of land to poach him?
Logically speaking, what belongs to Bailie and the Lu family should belong to the original He Lingchuan.

Well, it stands to reason.

Unsatisfactory ancestors, alas.

The roasted sea rabbit in my hand no longer smells good.

Guan Ke continued: "Furthermore, Wu Tiju himself has never accepted bribes. Anyone who dares to give gifts to him in person will be thrown out of the office. All gifts and donations will be collected by his two officials."

Ding Zuodong nodded: "It's quite prudent." He picked himself clean and didn't leave any clues to the outside world.

"Wu Tiju doesn't live in a luxurious house, the whole family still lives in an official residence." Guan Ke waved his hand, "No matter how many times the superiors came to check, he seemed to be clean and honest on the surface. I remember that three years ago, the Qingting government publicly commended him He is honest and loyal."

Qiu Hu asked: "How do you know this?"

"Hi!" Guan Ke smiled, "These things are all hidden from the top, and they can't be hidden from the bottom. What's the use of rumors spreading among the people? So what if the people know about it. Without proof, they can't do anything to Wu Tiju. "

He Lingchuan also took a sip of tea: "Besides the more than [-] acres of mountains, forests and paddy fields, what other stable ways does Wu Tiju have to make money? It's best to be legal."

Stability means that the water can flow steadily and cash can be continuously deposited into the account.

No matter where it is, this is an enviable asset.

Guan Ke understood and said without much thought: "Wu Tiju has made a lot of money in the past ten years. Every once in a while, he buys ships and rents them out. Among them are ocean-going cargo ships with a load capacity of the entire Blade Port. They all rank among the best. So far, he has bought ten large boats and 22 small boats, all of which are rented out."

When Ding Zuodong heard this, he exclaimed: "No wonder. Some time ago, I went to apply for renting a ship. The Municipal Shipping Department recommended several large ships to me, saying that they are guaranteed to be useful if rented. The ships are really big, and the prices are also real. It’s expensive, twice as big as the hull we rented later, but the price is four times higher.”

Four times?Qiu Hu asked: "Isn't this price outrageous?"

"It's outrageous, but there are low and peak seasons for shipping, so the rental price of cargo ships fluctuates. When we rent a ship during the peak palm season and a few months later, the price cannot be the same. In the most outrageous times, it can go up five or six times. .Who can tell clearly?"
