Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner

"Sheffield, why are you here?! Didn't you say you quit doing this?" Tangning couldn't help exclaiming when she saw Sheffield was still in a familiar place at the port.

Sheffield replied a little embarrassedly: "This time the business is too profitable, so I couldn't hold back! And I was not lucky before, and I lost a lot!"

"Your gambling problem should really be corrected!" Tangning advised, and then asked, "How much does a black slave cost now?"

Unexpectedly, Sheffield did not answer, but dragged Tangning aside and whispered, "Tony, I advise you not to buy these black slaves!"

"Why? Is the price too high or the quality is not good?" Tangning asked immediately.

And Sheffield gave him a reason to break down: "Both reasons, the high price and the poor quality!"

Then he explained: "Because the number of these black slaves is very large and they are very urgent, and we have not done this kind of big business for several years, so the chiefs on the African side have not prepared much. The quality you get is definitely not good; but because there are many people who want it, the price must be expensive, so I really don’t recommend you to buy it, you might as well wait for the next batch!”

Tangning thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Well, what you said makes sense, then I won't buy this batch for now! Let me know when the next batch is good!"

"No problem!" Sheffield assured, patting his chest.

However, when Tangning was about to leave, Sheffield grabbed him again and asked, "Tony, although the black slaves are not very good this time, the quality of the female black slaves is good, how about it, do you want to pick two? ?"

But Tangning went in and took a look, then shook her head and backed out, Sheffield immediately reacted, "I remembered, Tony, you like tall and long legs now, this time is too hasty, wait for me next time. Find some for you!"

"Okay, let's talk about it next time!"

After returning home, Heidi greeted him and said, "Brother has been waiting for you for a long time. It seems that I have something to discuss with you!"

Entering the living room, Brian asked Tangning, "Tony, I heard from Heidi that you went to the port. How many slaves did you buy?"

Tangning spread her hands and said, "I didn't buy any of them. Now there are too many slaves!"

"Don't talk about you, I didn't buy a few!" Brian echoed.

Tangning asked in confusion, "Do you still need to buy it? Didn't you take away everything from Nicole?"

"You know how much land there is in my house. How many people are there in Nicole's hands?" Brian explained, and then he took a step closer and said, "But a British friend of mine gave me a good idea. I I want to hear your opinion!"

"Oh? What's the best way?" Tangning asked casually.

Brian replied: "Just like those English gentlemen, find a land agent to contract out the land, so we don't have to worry about it at all!"

Having stayed in London for a while, Tangning also had some understanding of how British landlords were managed. They didn't have to be as troublesome as the Chinese landlords of the same period, and had to hire a bunch of hooligans and thugs to collect rent. In the UK at that time, there was a kind of The profession is called the agent, or simply the agricultural capitalist.

British landlords usually sign contracts with agents to subcontract their real estate to him, and then how much rent the land can receive has nothing to do with him. Even if the agent goes bankrupt, the big deal is to change another agent. Anyway, The ground rent is collected in advance; and if the agent manages properly, then when the contract expires and the other party renews the lease, they can also take the opportunity to increase the price, anyway, it will only make a profit.

Tangning was a little tempted by this method of operation, after all, his focus was not on farming, but he still had some doubts: "I heard about this method when I was in London, but the problem is that we don't have such an agent here. !"

"Of course I have it now, otherwise I wouldn't come to discuss it with you!" Brian replied.

"What about the price?" Tangning asked again.

Brian drew a number, Tangning thought about it, and then said, "Contact me tomorrow, I want to talk to him!"

Hearing Tangning's words, Brian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Tony, so you're planning to wrap up the land?"

Tangning nodded and said, "Well, you know, I still mainly rely on doing business to make money, and growing cotton is not as profitable as it used to be, so I don't want to put too much effort into it, so I'll just pack it out for comparison. Take it easy."

"Indeed, several British businessmen I knew before have moved to Egypt to collect cotton, so I decided to wrap the land. Since you think so too, Tony, then I'll just wrap the extra land and concentrate on it. Be our bike factory." Brian agreed.

When it comes to bicycles, Brian's interest is greatly increased: "Tony, you know, after this war, many people have seen the advantages of this bicycle you invented, the only pity is that because we hid in London, the orders were all blocked. Your factory to the north was taken away!"

"It's alright, aren't we back now, as long as we reopen the factory, at least the orders from the south will be ours!" Tangning reassured ~www.readwn.com~ Of course, since we are back, then I can't afford to make those Yangji guys any cheaper! ' Brian said confidently.

After Brian left, Heidi said with emotion: "I haven't seen my brother so passionate for a long time. When I was in London before, I felt that he was decadent!"

"I can't blame him. After all, he has nothing to do in London. It's not like you can at least write novels, and it's not like I have a business in New York. It's really easy to get decadent in this situation!" , Tangning recalled the life when the whole city was silent for nearly a month at the beginning of the mask. Tangning thought she was a very stubborn person, but she almost drove him crazy during that time. Brian's situation should be similar to her own. It's almost the same, so it's normal for this to happen.

PS: Although I have never read "Chicago 1990", which has less than 100 chapters, I saw a lot of people arguing about the ending of the plot in this chapter. I watched it. Uh, how can I say this writing method is indeed very rare , but there is nothing wrong with it in terms of writing structure. In fact, the main reason is that I think that when Lao Qi wrote this book, he didn't want to write a long book. It was against his original intention for the first time, so he made it at the end...
