The First Evolution

At this time, Fanglin rock road:

"I actually went to the market yesterday to inquire about the news. Because I may have recorded a huge sum of money, I specially hired people from Yuanshun escort agency to escort me. However, I had some misunderstandings with the Third Master of the Qiao family, and they have already talked about it."

"Now I guess it's time to come. In the past, there must be gains in Chongwenmen market! Why don't adults song and I go together?"

Song Yuren is also a very pragmatic person. Now he began to feel that the young master Hu Liu in front of him might be very important to himself, and immediately said:

"What I wish, I dare not ask my ears."

Fang Linyan nodded:

"Safety first, let's go to Chongwenmen market, where we just need to pass Yuanshun. Let's call the fifth master together."

***

Half an hour later,

Fang Linyan and his entourage came to the market, but found that it was as if it had been swept by a typhoon. It was a mess and there was chaos everywhere. Some people looked happy, but more people turned pale, and some even cried loudly.

Fang Linyan frowned and suddenly whispered to Laurent:

"When did you get the news of the Fengdao naval battle?"

Laurent said:

"Newspaper, the informant from the special channel left, so I didn't get the first-hand news. It is said that the Fengdao naval battle began at 4 a.m. this morning and ended at 8 a.m. this morning."

Fang Linyan calculated the time. No wonder the market here has become like this!

It's almost 4:00 p.m. now, there are telegrams. The Fengdao naval battle began at 4:00 a.m. even if it's delayed, by noon, if you are well-informed here, you can get first-hand information.

At that time, although there was no result in the naval battle, it was equivalent to the fact that the Japanese were crazy and even the civilian cargo ships of British companies had to attack! Obviously, business is business. Regardless of the situation of the whole country, the imported goods on the whole market must begin to enter the bull market

The kerosene and sugar that Fang Linyan bought with 60000 taels of silver were stacked in the temporary rental warehouse not far from the market. Now the price on the market has soared three times, and there is still no market. Only people buy with money, and no one is willing to sell.

This phenomenon will be formed. In fact, it has a great relationship with Fang Linyan's previous actions. His affair with third master Qiao last night has caused a sensation in the whole market.

In order to help him buy these two goods, the Qiao family also took 300000 liang of silver to buy foreign goods, which really caused the popularity of white sugar and kerosene in the market. In addition, once a foreigner's bulk purchase of these two kinds of goods spread, someone will be reluctant to sell them.

As a result, when the market opened this morning, the prices of sugar and kerosene had risen by almost 20%! This is an extra 20% profit!

By noon, before the news of the Fengdao naval battle came, the prices of the two goods had increased by almost 40%, which was the great power of the famous foreigner + Qiao family.

Then at more than 1:00 p.m., the bad news of the Fengdao naval battle came. After some chaos in the market, although the people who sold the goods made money, they were so upset that they wanted to find a rope to strangle themselves, and the people who hoarded the goods were happy

When Fang Linyan walked into Qiao's warehouse, it was also a pot of porridge, but to Fang Linyan's surprise, from the waiter to the shopkeeper, he seemed to be smiling at him and very enthusiastic. The big shopkeeper came to meet him in person and invited him into the room.

This really surprised Fang Linyan, because in his heart, he did business with the Qiao family warehouse this time. It can be said that he put the Qiao family together, which not only lost face, but also suffered heavy losses in the transaction.

Although the Qiao family didn't lose any money in fact, it won't be very happy to see that the profiteering goods they received can't make money and have to be handed over to others.

When the tea was served, Fang Linyan was about to speak. The big shopkeeper (who had changed people) said with a smile:

"Mr. Hu Liu, please wait a moment. Our third Master said that as long as you come today, he will receive you in person. Just now Mr. Fabry came to visit the third master, and it should be over soon."

Fangtouyan forest road:

"OK, I'll wait a minute."

As a result, while waiting, someone suddenly passed in the corridor outside. Fang Linyan didn't notice at first, but the man stopped and looked inside, and then immediately came in. Fang Linyan saw that it was Hu Xueming, the seventh uncle he met yesterday.

At this time, Hu Xueming looks much haggard than last night. Even the whole person is ten years old, and his eyes are bloodshot. At first glance, he has a very serious worry.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Linyan stood up and saluted according to the current rules, and took the initiative to call seven uncles. However, even outsiders can see the sense of alienation.

After Fang Linyan saluted, of course, the rest of the people should greet one after another. After Hu Xueming hastily returned the salute, he frowned and looked at Fang Linyan:

"Old six, come out. I have something to tell you."

Fang Linyan's heart said that if there's nothing to offer Yan love, it's either rape or theft. You bad old man wants to follow me? So he smiled and said:

"Uncle Qi, your old man has eaten more salt than the rice I've seen. If you want to teach me a lesson, you don't have to avoid people. If you have any good advice, just say it. Didn't you teach me a lesson in front of so many people yesterday? You don't have to save face for me today."

Hu Xueming was hurt by Fang Linyan's words, and his face suddenly became purple with anger. There was a "wheezing" sound in his nostrils, but after a few seconds, many thoughts turned in his mind and he could only swallow his anger:

"If I don't teach you a lesson, I want to discuss something with you."

Fang Linyan looked at the old man in front of him and was about to speak. However, he saw Wang Wu and Song Yuren next to him. He felt that the side he showed next was better not to be seen by them, so he smiled and said:

"OK, let's go out and talk."

They went out of Qiao's warehouse and found a quiet corner. Then Hu Xueming said:

"Old six, when you did something inferior to animals to my emblem, uncle seven finally let go, otherwise how can you be a comprador for Mr. Laurent here today?"

"As the saying goes, drink water and think of the source. In fact, you should owe my boss a favor!"

It was the first time Fang Linyan had heard of his embarrassment in that year, so when facing Hu Xueming, he could only shrug his shoulders for a moment, and then said:

"Well, then?"

Hu Xueming looked embarrassed and said:

"Well, after you left yesterday, the Third Master of the Qiao family insisted on leaving me to have tea and chat..... What else did he say? I heard your words and won't study for ten years. He must take me to Desheng building for a drink! Alas, I reluctantly followed. As a result, I greedy for a few cups and missed a big thing."

Speaking of this, Hu Xueming probably entered the play, patted his thigh and said:

"When I was at the banquet yesterday, the steward of the Qiao family was very deceitful. I heard that I knew there was a batch of foreign goods in my hand, so I tried every means to persuade me to sell it to him. I didn't notice it for a while. In addition, he really gave a good price at that time, so I was relieved."

Fang Linyan looked at Hu Xueming and knew that most of the nominally seventh uncle didn't tell the truth. It was estimated that only the last few words could be believed. He was laughing in his heart, but said in his mouth:

"What kind of foreign goods is it?"

Hu Xueming hurried:

"It's 3000 cases of fragrant pancakes made in France!"

The so-called fragrant pancake is actually a folk dialect, which is actually soap. Thanks to the closure of the country in the prosperous era of Kang and Qian dynasties, even most of these daily necessities still depend on imports.

Fang Linyan said quietly:

"Oh, what does the seventh uncle mean?"

Hu Xueming said angrily:

"When I think of it now, the Qiao family's steward is clearly shameless and taking advantage of me! Now every box of imported sweet pancakes has even risen to 72!"

"And everyone is still talking about it. The little Japan killed that day is bold. Even the people of Great Britain and Russia dare to kill. What else do you dare not do? I'm afraid the shipping will be cut off until the armistice. What year and month should it be?"

"Since the Nanjing Treaty (the first Opium War), everyone has been used to foreign goods. Now it's good. Foreign goods on the market will rise at least five times!"

Speaking of this, Hu Xueming faces Fanglin rock road:

"Well, Xiao Liu, I think you can still talk in front of the Third Master of the Qiao family. You ask him to return my goods and give me the white sugar and kerosene in your hand. I'll stand on your side if there is any difficulty in the family in the future."

After hearing Hu Xueming's words, Fang Linyan said leisurely:

"I finally understand why the Hu family fell so quickly after Xueyan immortal went."

Hu Xueming said:

"Why?"

Fanglin rock path:

"Because there are too many people like you."

Hu Xueming reacted at this time. His eyes suddenly bulged and his face turned purple

"Xiao Liu, I advise you not to be disrespectful!"

Fang Linyan smiled:

"I haven't appreciated it since I was a child. Haven't I lived so much?"

Then he turned and walked away.

At first, Fang Linyan thought that even the thickest skinned people would not come to entangle, would they? Unexpectedly, someone would always challenge the corresponding lower limit. Hu Xueming suddenly shouted hoarsely:

"How can you help?"

Fang Linyan felt that he seemed to overestimate the integrity and face of the seventh uncle, so he planned to be cruel, but he didn't know much about the things before "himself", and couldn't think of the weakness of the seventh uncle for a moment.

But suddenly, Fang Linyan didn't know why. Unexpectedly, he turned around and sneered:

"If you want me to help you, you can! Didn't you wrongly accuse me of doing something to your family emblem? I don't accept this tone in my heart!"

"If you can let her accompany me all night, I will promise you to help you mediate this matter!"

Having said these words, Fang Linyan glanced at Hu Xueming and found that his face had turned purple. It was obvious that he was very angry and made people have to worry about whether his cerebral blood vessels will explode at the next moment

Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan laughed and felt that he finally got rid of the brown sugar, so he walked away.

When he returned to Qiao's shop, he felt that third master Qiao had returned and was chatting with Wang Wu and Lord song. As soon as he saw Fang Linyan, Third Master Qiao stood up and laughed at Fang Linyan:

"Sixth young master, you're here. You don't know that our Qiao family has exhausted their strength in order to help you purchase this batch of goods!"

Fang Linyan smiled:

"Third Master Qiao is joking. The Qiao family in Shanxi connects the world. You are too modest for such a small thing, aren't you?"

"This time I came here, but there was one thing I wanted to talk to third master Qiao."

Third master Qiao said:

"OK, you say."

Fanglin rock path:

"My goods here are almost worth millions now?"

Third master Qiao said with a smile:

"You bought 700000 taels of silver goods in the entrusted bank before. In addition, I said yesterday that I would compensate you. Even according to the value of the goods at that time, it is almost 900000 taels of white sugar and kerosene."

"Even according to the current market price, this batch of goods is worth 2.8 million taels of silver. If the principal is removed, there will be 2 million taels of silver."

Although Song Yuren and Wang Wu believed Lin Yan deeply at this time, they couldn't help looking at each other and were shocked when they heard that third master Qiao said 2.8 million liang of silver.

They really didn't expect that the infamous young master Hu Liu in front of them could really turn his hand over the clouds and cover his hand for the rain, and pry the wind and cloud of the Jiawu festival with his own strength!

Fanglin rock path:

"There's something urgent on my side. I need to raise 500000 liang of silver for Lord song to take away. Third Master Qiao is in charge of Dade Tong at present. Don't you know it's convenient to make 500000 liang of tickets?"

The third master Qiao's face immediately became dignified, and he pondered for a while and said:

"The rule of Datong is that I can decide the transfer of funds below 300000 Liang in one word. I can't decide this matter. I should immediately send a telegram and discuss it with my brother."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"It's all right, Third Master Qiao. Please help yourself."

After about ten minutes, Third Master Qiao came back directly and smiled bitterly at Fang Linyan:

"My brother said that there is no problem in principle, but he has an additional request and wants me to talk to you alone."

Fang Linyan smiled and said:

"No problem. Third Master Qiao, please find a place and let's go and talk."

Then they sued Song Yuren and Wang Wu, and then came to the quiet room next to them. Third Master Qiao hesitated and said:

"Mr. Laurent, your assistant, Mr. Hu Liuzi, is so powerful that he received the news that the Japanese military headquarters was going to do it without authorization six or seven days in advance! And he still did it to the English people!"
