I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

One is that her best friend's father, an upright federal military attache abroad, disappeared on his way home from the Far East.

In Julie's perception, Mr. Huang He, like herself, is a rebellious son of a big family.

He left his hometown in the Qing Dynasty for creation and came to North America to find inspiration.

So Julie entrusted Mr. Huang He to help her find the missing military officer.

As a reward, Julie paid $500 in advance.

If it is said that the first commission was somewhat hopeful from Julie, then the second commission was chosen at random, and Julie never thought of getting help.

In the letter, Julie told Mr. Huang He that her family encountered difficulties and needed to sell a large number of steam carriers.

But the cunning businessmen of New York smelled something unusual in the air.

Moreover, the reason why the old Vanderbilt wanted to sell all the shipping business and turn to the railway industry was not only because of Lincoln's policy, but also because the competition in the shipping industry was very fierce on the Atlantic route.

Today, before the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, the demand for transportation capacity has approached saturation.

In the words of later generations, the Atlantic Shipping has experienced serious involution.

Therefore, although other shipping companies wanted to buy Vanderbilt's ships, they secretly joined hands to lower prices, forming an unstable price-cutting alliance.

To break such a stalemate, foreign capital must enter.

It doesn't mean that all the boats must be eaten at one go, but as long as there are foreign loaches stirring up the muddy water, then the capitalists in New York will not be able to sit on the ground and raise prices.

Julie paid $500 again and entrusted him to find capital that would be willing to spend money to buy ships in the western United States and the Far East.

In fact, if old Vanderbilt and Steve Vanderbilt read this letter, their jaws would drop in amazement.

(Steve is Julie's father, it is convenient to imagine that Steve Nash's appearance can be used as the standard, and Julie is based on his daughter)

Because in their impression, Julie is a troubled girl who has no interest in the family business and is immersed in her own fantasies all day long. They don't even bother to talk to her about business matters at all.

But it was such a troubled girl who extracted the truth of the matter from the limited information she obtained through her usual deaf ears.

Even, the idea of ​​introducing outsiders to stir up the price limit alliance coincides with the old Vanderbilt.

The only difference is that Julie just used this as an excuse to fall in love with an oriental man, but she did not expect to get a positive response.

The old Vanderbilt is using his contacts to find capital from his hometown of the Netherlands, begging many banks and consortiums, but to no avail.

In fact, the main purpose of this family dinner was to call everyone together to discuss this matter.

Although the old Vanderbilt decided to stud on the railway, the speed of asset realization is very important to him, but it does not mean that he can tolerate the severely undervalued and cheap sale of shipping assets.

……

While Julie was hiding behind the dwarf roses in the garden and was concentrating on reading Mr. Huang He's letter, a middle-aged man with a face so gloomy that he could squeeze out water had already quietly stood behind her.

This middle-aged man is none other than Julie's father, Steve Vanderbilt.

And Julie's loyal maid was being dragged aside by the head maid covering her mouth.

There was nothing she could do about her master's crisis.

What Steve had been dreading happened happened.

Her only daughter is dating a man behind her back.

For a long time, Steve didn't think of himself as a family-oriented person.

There is even less affection for this daughter who gathers less and leaves more.

But at this moment, as an old father, Steve still felt a dull pain in his heart.

Even if you don't consider this point, if there are any bad rumors about your daughter, then the battle for succession that you don't have an advantage in front of your father will be completely over.

So no matter how you think about it, Steve can't sit idly by.

Swish!

Steve snatched the letter from Julie from behind.

Thanks to the fact that Zhu Fugui wrote the letter on an invitation-style cardboard, the letter was not shredded.

"My letter!"

Julie stood up in panic, trying to get her treasure back.

"Shut up, you crazy girl!"

This manor belonged to the old Vanderbilt, so Steve didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he quickly lowered his voice, "Say, who is this yellow crane? Is it the son of old Chopper who sells cranes?"

Crane means both crane and crane.

That's why Steve has such doubts.

If it was Old Chopper's son, he could barely accept it.

After all, it can be regarded as a good match.

"Bah, don't compare Mr. Huang He with that kind of playboy!"

Julie knew that her father also had scruples in this manor, and in this letter, she did not reveal the details that Mr. Huang He was a Chinese.

So Julie said without hesitation: "Mr. Huang He is a great writer who has created the best mystery novels in the world!"

"Mystery novel? Writer? Isn't this a poor ghost?"

Dazed for a moment, Steve was furious.

For a big capitalist like him, it's not bad for a creature like a writer to be used as a friend, as a tool to whitewash his taste, but as a marriage partner, it's no different from finding a beggar.

Of course, writers are not necessarily poor.

For example, JK Rowling of later generations.

If Steve had seen Zhu Fugui's income from royalties and manuscript fees, he would definitely take back his words, instead of using "poor ghost" to describe him, he would instead describe him as a "rich poor ghost".

"He must be greedy for your money and our property!" Steve said angrily.

"No, that's not the case. Mr. Huang He is a noble person. I didn't even reveal my last name. And in terms of money, I only sent him $2000."

"$2000? You prodigal bastard, if you give him $2000 every day, our family will go bankrupt at the end of the century!"

"But Mr. Huang He and his family are already very rich, and they are closely connected with a Jewish capital group called the Donald Consortium!"

"This is just an old man's rhetoric to deceive an ignorant girl. Back then, oh no, your uncles and cousins, which one of your uncles and cousins ​​didn't use this kind of opening statement to deceive a woman's trust? After I got it, I threw it away like garbage!"

"It's different, Mr. Huang He is different, he is even willing to buy 10 steam carriers for me!"

"Hehe, it's just 10 ships... wait... what are you talking about!!!"

Chapter 126 Huge Transaction

Zhu Fugui never thought that such a good thing existed in the world.

It's like the Saudi met the rabbit, and the rabbit met the Ermaozi.

Whether it is a super express delivery or a super fishery administration ship, one dares to buy and the other dares to sell.

If it weren't for worrying about unnecessary troubles caused by being too generous, Zhu Fugui would have wanted to buy all the nearly a hundred steamships.

Of course, this is just a thought. Even if Zhu Fugui has four times the arbitrage space for prostitution, he may not be able to match the speed of making money of these big capitalists.

Before becoming the future railway king and the richest man in North America, old Vanderbilt was already the largest steamship king in the United States.

His total assets include ships, docks, docks, real estate, hotels and other fields, which is an astonishing figure.

The steamships that Vanderbilt sold this time varied in size, and the prices varied enormously.

In the 19s, Chinese people wrote: "Since steamers entered China, merchants and people all over the world have called them convenient, so they know that steamers are something that China must not waste." small and medium seagoing ships.

Zhu Fugui wanted to buy this type of boat, or a slightly larger boat.

As for giant ships like the Titanic, they dare not get their hands on them for the time being.

The market price of a medium-sized seagoing ship is about 5 U.S. dollars, and 10 ships are a business of nearly 50 U.S. dollars.

This is an era when millionaires have not yet depreciated, and $50 is really not a small amount.

But as long as it is indeed for sale, Zhu Fugui will not feel bad about the money.

50 US dollars is equivalent to 50 Spanish silver dollars, which is equivalent to 12 tons of silver.

The price of silver in 2023 will be about 4.5 yuan/gram.

24 tons of silver is just...

Actually need RMB 5000 million!

Well, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t cost much, just the price of a “just-needed house” in Shenzhen!

The daily income of Daming Lumber Factory is about 160 million.

5000 million is equivalent to the output value of more than one month.

But now Zhu Fugui earns a lot and spends a lot.

Therefore, it is a little difficult to suddenly come up with 5000 million yuan, and you have to cut down on food and clothing.

However, the advantages of buying sea ships with silver coins are obvious.

Metals such as gold and silver are primary industrial raw materials, and the civilization value required for trading is very low.

If you buy a later generation ship, the civilization value will rise geometrically as the price and craft level increase.

Therefore, buying these ships is the best choice for Zhu Fugui.

For Daming, this girl named Julie is simply a female Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

When Da Ming was short of money, she gave money, and when Da Ming was short of boats, she gave them boats.

If there is a chance in the future, Zhu Fugui plans to erect a statue of her in the temple to redeem this lost lamb from the evil monotheism.

Of course, the theoretical state religion of Ming Dynasty is Taoism.

Although the debate on Buddhism and Taoism has a long history, according to Zhu Fugui, although the Buddha is not beneficial to the country, he is also much milder than those desert religions west of the Pamirs, and he does not necessarily have to be included in the ranks of "you".

Speaking of Buddhism, Zhu Fugui couldn't help thinking of the little Japanese old man Ii Hiroto who lived a good life.

I have to say, this old guy has a lot of stuff in his stomach.

Before that, he put in a lot of effort in organizing Zhu Fugui's wedding, which helped the Ministry of Etiquette a lot.

Afterwards, the old guy was taken by Zhao Aqian as a talent.

At present, the labor dispatch personnel belonging to the Ministry of Rites preside over the ideological united front of respecting the emperor and fighting barbarians in the propaganda work.

Things in the world are so wonderful.

This hard-core shogunate of the Japanese shogunate had fought with reformers for half his life. Unexpectedly, when he came to Daming, he began to use his pen and words to promote the idea of ​​respecting the emperor to win the Western Yi.

In addition to this change in identity, this old guy also has another skillful face change.

Zhu Fugui clearly remembered that the Yijingbo people kept saying in front of the white people that they were believers of the Lord and had already converted to Christianity.

But now...

"Teaching in the Tiantai, walking back to the Pure Land", Yijing Boren claimed to be a devout layman of Hua Tiantai Pure Land Sect without changing his face.

If it hadn't been for the Emperor Ming's perseverance, he would have found a wild temple in a barren mountain with his old bones, and spent the rest of his life among wooden fish and sandalwood.

Zhu Fugui really wanted to agree to his idea, shaved off his Yuedai head, which was no better than Manqing Yinyang head, and threw it into Tenglong Mountain.

But now Ming Dynasty really lacks literate people, and Hiroto Ito's articles are indeed quite deceptive.

So Zhu Fugui, an old guy with no skin or face, who was as good as Tang Sangui, had no choice but to hold his nose and ignore it.

Excluding a little difference in religion, Zhu Fugui still likes that little girl of Julie.

This is the number one fan of his novels, and he seems to be a person of taste.

From previous letters, it is basically certain that this little reader is an honest person, and what she said about the sale of ships should be true.

To be on the safe side, Zhu Fugui checked the materials of the North American shipping industry in the 19s.

Because it is impossible for such a large business to not leave traces in modern history.

Therefore, the surname "Vanderbilt" entered Zhu Fugui's eyes.

However, Zhu Fugui did not find Julie Vanderbilt.

According to history, Vanderbilt Sr. lived to be 94 years old.
