Chapter 171 Reward Top Wear
This is the truth. If the quality of raw silk in Guangzhou increases and the price decreases, the focus of raw silk trade in the United States will inevitably shift to Guangzhou. The three businesses of the three will naturally benefit a lot. Olifin glanced at the two and said, "As Mr. Yi said, this is something that is good for all of us. Besides, Mr. Yi is now our most important friend..."
"I hope you will look at the long-term." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "With your country's continuous expansion and growth, rapid population growth, and rapid economic development, your country's silk consumption will usher in a wave of rapid growth, which will inevitably stimulate the development of the silk industry. Guangzhou's raw silk trade will inevitably grow significantly, and will become the second largest trade commodity after tea.
Of course, I will not let you suffer any losses. As John said, this is a one-time transaction, and I can pay you a high reward. However, next year, I will see the machine."
Seeing that his expectations for raw silk were so high, Olifin couldn't help but say, "Will the prospect of raw silk be so great?"
Yi Zhizu said with a firm tone: "In less than ten years, the raw silk trade will catch up with tea."
Seeing that he was so sure and had high rewards, Vitemore was very moved and quickly spoke: "If you want it next year, you have to rush to France by fast ship in the near future..."
Yi Zhizu looked at John Green and said, "I heard that Qichangxing has a fast ship specializing in selling eclips to Fujian?"
After hearing this, Olivern and Weitmore all looked over. Under the gaze of the three, John was a little uncomfortable and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Even the Clippers, it will take nearly half a year to go back and forth to France..."
Before he finished speaking, Olifin said decisively: "Since that's the case, let's take the fast ship and go to France first, purchase a wire reeling machine, and then return from France."
After hearing this, Yi Zhizu's heart moved. This was a good idea. They could not stay in France for a long time. In this way, the wire reeling machine would be sent to Guangzhou by French merchants. He could take this opportunity to join the French merchants. In addition, his time was indeed urgent and he could not afford to delay.
After pondering for a moment, he expressed his opinion: "I will compensate for the losses of Qichangxing Clippers in the past six months. In addition, I can buy the silk reeling machine at twice the price in France, and the quantity is not limited."
Speaking of this, John would not shirk responsibility, and immediately smiled and said, "Then let's take a detour to France."
After coming out of Wanghai Tower, Yi Zhizu did not return home. He sent the two bodyguards he followed back and took the servant to the Rongqing Garden in the flower field on a boat.
Su Mengdie had known that Yi Zhizu had returned to Xiguan for a long time. She had been waiting in her heart for the past few days. After hearing the news, Yi Zhizu came. She hurried to the backyard pier to greet her. As soon as she met, she called "Sanlang" with a sad look on her face and started crying.
Seeing this situation, Yi Zhi was confused and asked repeatedly. Su Mengdie said with sorrow and sobbing: "I heard that Sanlang was kidnapped in Shunde. I fell down in shock and frightened. The child was unable to be saved. I am sorry Sanlang..."
Has an abortion? Yi Zhizu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sad. For him, this child was the only blood left by the third young master of the Yi family. He promised to give this woman a balanced wife, but for the sake of this child, he didn't expect the child to be unable to save it. Seeing her crying with pear blossoms and rain, he felt distressed and quickly comforted him: "Don't cry anymore, I'll cry badly. We are young, and we can get pregnant again. If we cry badly, it's not worth it."
"The child was not saved..." Su Mengdie sobbed and said, "Sanlang's three-year promise is still counted?"
Now that he dares to say that it doesn't count, he is afraid that it will cause death. Yi Zhizu hurriedly coaxed him and said, "For sure, of course, I'm not sick again. I can't let you get pregnant with another one in three years?"
After hearing this, Su Mengdie completely relieved and said angrily: "It's rare to see Sanlang once a month, I'm really worried..."
"Isn't this busy?" Yi Zhizu said and hugged her, and then said, "I'm just drinking, but I haven't eaten, are there any porridge?"
Su Mengdie hurriedly ordered: "Dai'er, go and cook a bowl of quenching porridge for the young master."
The next morning, Yi Zhizu left Rongqingyuan and hurried back to Yuanqi General Office. He got off the sedan chair outside the gate. He looked up and saw Jin Ying of the Qinglian Sect standing on the edge of the street opposite, raising his hand at him with joy. He couldn't help but smile and walked slowly over. He returned to Xiguan and walked quickly without any time to notify the girl.
Jin Yingsheng had bright eyes and white teeth, and when he smiled, his eyes were crescent like crescents, and he was indescribably cute. No one would have thought that she was the disciple of the General General of the Tenth Land of the Qinglian Sect. Seeing Yi Shizui approaching, she smiled and said, "It's considered waiting for the young master."
This girl looks harmless, but she is actually very wild. Yi Zhizuo dares not bring her back to the house rashly. After thinking about it, he said, "Come in with me." He led her into Rongyuan and said, "This is my yard in Yuanqi General Office. There is a shortage of a maid who serves tea and water. You can wait here for the time being."
Kim Young pouted in dissatisfaction and muttered softly: "What's the point of staying here?"
"I don't go out, I usually stay here, and I sleep here when I'm busy." Yi Zhizu said: "Besides, it's convenient for you to come in and out, right? It's so good, and you don't have to be jealous of my personal maids in my mansion. There's no complicated work, and you're so quiet and comfortable. What's wrong with it?"
"It seems to make sense." Jin Ying said Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."
Yi Zhizu said as he walked: "From the future, all the work in this yard will be yours. I am not allowed to enter the yard. Hurry up and go to boil water and make tea. I have many customers here."
As soon as he entered the house, Kong Jian'an rushed over and reported after the reception: "Shunde Jie Xiuyuan wrote a letter. Everything is normal. Most of the purchased raw silk has taken action. Now the remaining raw silk is less than ten thousand dan, and it is estimated that it will be sold out in the next two days."
"A plate of loose sand..." Yi Zhizu sighed lightly with interest and said, "At the slaughter of others, a group of silk merchants didn't even have the courage to resist. I've been worried for a few days."
Kong Jian'an smiled and said, "They also lost so much that they did not resist. If they resist, they would definitely lose even more."
That's right, Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Silver in Shunde is about to return significantly, and the peak season for sea trade will be over for more than a month. After October, a large amount of silver will be returned. How should we arrange it? We can't all be deposited in the bank treasury, right?"
"These silvers are all subject to interest, so how can they sleep in the silver treasury?" Kong Jian'an smiled and said: "Since mid-October, sugarcane in various places will enter the crushing season. Sugar merchants of all sizes will have to borrow money from October to start to squeeze them. After purchasing sugar cane, they will pay back the loan after selling sugar in February and March of the following year. At that time, spring tea will start to go public again. After spring tea is raw silk, raw silk is peak season after sea trade. The money shop's silver can't be lying in the silver treasury for a few days all year round."
No wonder all the officials, gentlemen and businessmen are keen on opening money shops. It turns out that the money can be recycled and loaned in such a circular way. After thinking for a moment, Yishi said: "Leizhou Prefecture, Shaozhou Prefecture, and Huizhou Prefecture are all rich in sugarcane. Can Liang Jiemin make proper arrangements?"
Kong Jian'an nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Liang has already started to make arrangements. At the beginning of next spring, most prefectures and counties in Guangdong will be monopolized by Yuan Qi."
