Red Blood Dragon Knight

Chapter 340: New York Commodity Exchange

The middle-aged man who was snatched by the Han craftsman was sitting in the carriage leisurely. Knowing outside the city, then walked for a while, then quietly returned to the dock.

He drove around a few piles of goods with ease. Then came to a small building.

There were dozens of sturdy big men in casual clothes standing around the small building, faintly guarding the warehouse.

Although the big guys have tried their best to pretend to be doing nothing, they all show well-trained, powerful and arrogant professional soldiers.

When they saw someone approaching, they all pressed their hands on their waists and watched them vigilantly. They didn't relax until they saw each other's face clearly.

The middle-aged man didn't care, he greeted everyone, and then went straight into the building.

He went all the way up the stairs to the top floor. I settled at the door, and then knocked gently on the door.

The door opened silently.

The man stepped in, then bowed deeply and said, "Your lord, your highness."

But the room was bright.

Lorraine was sitting on the top of the window, tasting the red wine in the glass.

However, Leo is not positive, learning the appearance of great enjoyment, sitting in a swivel chair, and leaning two fat, white radish-like legs on the large desk, with a face in front of him. Pair of black and black round glasses made of black crystal.

Hearing someone coming in, Leo turned his head, picked his glasses, rolled his **** and white eyes, and cast his gaze from above the glasses.

After looking at the other party, he immediately pressed the glasses back to his little nose. Then he played official accent and said, "Jerry, why didn't you realize that you still have acting talent. To be honest, did you hack my money?"

Jerry shuddered immediately.

With a bitter face, he said: "His Royal Highness, aren't you entertaining me? There is Miss Vera watching there. Even if you buy a roll of toilet paper, you have to register, how dare we?"

Leo now proudly put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed. He felt that it was an extremely wise decision for him to ask Vera to be the Audit Director.

Lorraine put down his wine glass, and then he also applauded: "It's good to be stunned. You will have to work harder today. When we build the commodity exchange tomorrow, it won't be so troublesome."

Jerry hesitated for a moment, and then he was worried and said: "My lord, what you said" Xinke. Can the exchange really gather all the merchants and let them all trade commodities there? "

Lorraine smiled, then corrected: "Jerry, it's not "Xinke" but "New York." Thousands of commodity exchanges. "

Leo couldn't help but said, "Boss, didn't you say that things like stocks and futures are troublesome. Even if we go to the casino, can't we do this?"

Lorraine said: "The key to trouble or not is to look at the dealer. If we are the dealer, then everything is done. If we want to play the game, we will play the game."

Leo still protested: "But after this is built, how can we evade taxes in the future!"

Lorraine stagnated, and after half a day, he smiled bitterly: "I can't help this. I can find Nicole if I have a problem. I only suggested building a commodity exchange, but I didn't expect to patronize and be happy. I also went in Now, Nicole saw the opportunity to take advantage of it, so he squeezed a tax collector over and took a ride to collect transaction tax."

Leo jumped up like a wild boar with his tail stepped on.

He stepped on the chair and the table with one foot. Angrily waving his chubby little arm, said: "I know, I know that as long as she gets mixed up, it won't be good."

He stared at Lorraine bitterly, and said, "You don't care about your girlfriend, just let her run out to harm others."

Lorraine also refused to give in and said: "She is your sister, why don't you tell her?"

Leo lags for a while.

The two stared at each other for a long time. Then suddenly he let out a long sigh, and said in unison: "Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as spending money to buy peace."

When the two of them quarreled, although Jerry was beside him as far as possible, he pretended that he was just a vase. But in the end, I also knew clearly in my heart: Don’t look at yourself, this governor looks very bad, very powerful, and the little father-in-law is also a stomach of bad water, but the real master is the iron governor of the Eastern Province. Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire.

Lorraine turned her head and saw the faint smile on the corner of Jerry's face and mouth, and immediately gave a cold snort.

Jerry dropped his head immediately and looked down at the toe of his shoe.

Lorraine coughed lightly, and then said: "That's right. Jerry, after we have completed the exchange and brought in Nian's salt merchants, I will ask you to continue to fan the flames and encourage them."

Jerry quickly replied: "Your Excellency and Your Highness don't worry, as far as the means of doing business are concerned, they are far from our Flying Eagle Company.

Once things are linked to gold coins. The degree of spread is the light before. Hulao often heard at home that whoever touched the lottery ticket, ranging from TV sets to fighter jets, now think about it, they are all deceptive tricks. Means of business hype. )

Especially now that Quan Naian people's eyes are on the price of salt, everything related to salt affects the nerves of Naian people. Those who fry salt are afraid of falling prices and those who eat salt are afraid of price increases.

"A certain. The salt merchants spent a lot of money to buy a ship of salt at the port." This topic was in every corner of the city that night. Don't repeat the discussion. The people are holding a bowl and drinking a tasteless soup. , Angrily scolded his mother. Merchants are greedy for this lucky guy, and a group of salt merchants have their chances.

That night, like coyotes that smelled the fish, the local snakes operating behind the scenes gathered together again.

However, knowing that Lorraine is not like the Marquis of Marleyton. I like to simplify complex issues and talk to everyone directly with a knife, but has been indifferent.

Everyone's courage is getting fatter now.

They regarded Lord Lorraine's insidiousness as weakness. Think Lorraine is just a very successful little boy, nothing more.

Now they are no longer like Shing Chu, who worked so hard to disguise and change, and then risked being harassed by humans to go into a dark cave. And start the party honourably.

This group of rich natives are not afraid of revealing their secrets at all. While holding their mistresses, they yelled "our career" around the table.

Lorraine learned of their behavior afterwards. With a contemptuous smile, he gave them a comment of "smoothing the monkey".

"Our business. Such a loud slogan is also worthy of these idiots.

That year, "Our career. Committee, but gathered the most outstanding mafia family in the United States, these brave people dare to use bazookas. Hand grenades, holding Thomson submachine guns in downtown New York.

They held a plenary meeting, and the guards at the door were all Yangsi people. Moreover, the credibility of others is better than that of the government, and one sentence is more effective than the governor.

The Corleone family in the Godfather is awesome, and it's just an ordinary member of the committee.

Bribing the governor, bribing judges, shooting witnesses, these are still humble tricks. There are even rumors that the President of the United States, Mr. Kennedy, was killed. Also has a great relationship with them.

This group of black-hearted money, while fearing that Lorraine would slaughter their ground snake, dare to say such a big word, it is really ignorant.

Although these local dignitaries have reached an offensive and defensive alliance, more sources of supply represent more profits. After more than a month of crazy price hikes, as the profits soared, these people's appetites unconsciously increased. Get up, quarrelsome at the conference table.

"Together, we monopolized the supply of goods on the wharf, and then everyone divides it by themselves. If anyone dares to raise the price with us, find someone to kill him."

"Kill him? I'm not laughing at you, do you have the guts? That little white-faced subordinate is waiting for us to break the law. The old card is lonely in prison. Do you want to accompany him?"

"You bastard, you are ashamed to mention the old card, who made him turn the worker back into a slave. The old card is dead, I heard that you took all his properties." Everyone immediately moved their chairs away from that person.

"It sounds good, how do you divide the goods after you buy it? Do so many of us share it equally?"

"Of course it is whoever pays more, who divides it more."

"You treat us as idiots. This doesn't mean that we spent money for you."

"That is, everyone depends on their abilities, whoever gets it. Who doesn't know that your family stocks the most. You make a lot of money, right?"

"Everyone is allies. Isn't this a mess?"

"What are you afraid of, we have strong funds now, who would dare to **** us from the local area? As long as the supply is bought by us."

"Okay, hands fast, slow hands, everyone has their own abilities."

Over the night, the salt merchants who received the above orders gathered on the wharf with their bedding and watched eagerly at every transport ship arriving at the port. In order to fight for a favorable position, these allies even fought in the port and had a big belly. The bosses waved fleshy fists and rolled around the harbor like hooligans.

This was originally a hard work in the wind and sun on the pier. The next morning, after a loud noise, a house in the harbour. An exchange sign was hung up.

There is a big blackboard hanging inside the exchange. The goods arriving in the port can be written on the blackboard, waiting for the interested person to discuss, except for the table and chairs in the room, the most conspicuous is the tax officer's seat.

The people sent by the salt merchants saw it and were overjoyed. Said: "This is really convenient for us people. This Sir Alex is really our caring person.

At the moment, he shouted "10,000" to Lord Lord Lorraine.

After Lorraine found out, he smiled and said, "It was originally for you."

In the morning, another transport ship loaded with salt approached the port.

The owner of the ship walked directly into the exchange and wrote on the blackboard "50,000 pounds of salt.

The salt merchants below were like coyotes, with red eyes, "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

They immediately surrounded the owner of the ship.

"I'm out of twenty!"

"twenty two"

"Die, I have twenty-five and give it all to me."

"Twenty-eight, see who of you quarrels with me."

"Hum, the little character dared to jump, thirty silver coins a pound."

The shipowner was stuck in the crowd but didn't care. Looking at the frenzied faces before him, the creases on his old, windy and tanned face appeared.

The ship owner stopped Pian Xuan again, then raised his hands and shouted: "Everyone, everybody, listen to me."

When the people around calmed down, the owner said loudly: "It's such a mess. Everyone has quoted the price. I can't find anyone. The bosses please sit down. Let's auction so that it's clear who is who."

"Okay, hurry up, hurry up, take this ship, and wait for lunch

"Come on, who is afraid of whom."

"Fifty thousand pounds of salt. Sell at a time with a reserve price of twenty silver coins a pound. Start!"

Finally, after a ship of salt was sold for 31 silver coins and a pound, Jerry walked out of the exchange with his hands rubbing and turned into Leo's temporary office.

A piece of white paper has just been pasted on the door of the office. The paste hadn't dried yet, and the crooked word "Advance Command" on it was written by Leo.

Jerry looked at the words on the door and gave a wry grin. Knocked on the door and walked in.

Leo was sitting behind the desk in the usual manner of Scholar Lorraine, with his feet on the table. He put his hands behind his head and lay on the chair.

Mei Dan Na is holding a doll sitting boredly on the sand opposite Leo.

Seeing Jerry coming in, Leo murmured: "What? It's uncomfortable to sit like this. Jerry, how is the situation?"

"It's great, my lord, the price has gone up again today. Thirty-one silver coins and a brick

"Rising? Good." Leo yelled good. I sat up, took the pen in his hand and dipped it in ink. I counted it on the paper: "One pound and thirty-one, fifty thousand pounds is" 15,000 gold coins, one ship per day, four hundred and fifty thousand a month. One year is more than five million, and ten years is more than 50 million."

"I'm Lele!" Leo jumped off his chair excitedly, slapped the table and yelled: "Five million! What kind of mill do I sell. Oh, now."

Melina snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Leo, this is your twentieth time today. You don't need to call every fifteen minutes."

Leo raised his nose. Enjoyed it and said, "I have money now, so I don't care about you. Jerry. It's not that there is still a boat in the afternoon. You then raise the price. The higher the price, the more generous your bonus. Understand? "

Jerry nodded and smiled: "Yes, Your Highness."

Under Leo’s signal, the atmosphere in the exchange in the afternoon became more heated. The frenetic atmosphere in the auction can easily make people lose their minds, especially when people around them are waving their hands and yelling, Leo sent The subordinates specially fan the flames in the auction, and the owner of the ship cooperates with them. Every time a ship arrives, the salt price will rise a little. Those who watched from the periphery of the exchange sighed after every transaction: it has risen again.

Catherine controls the amount of salt released. Leo personally directed at the scene, and the salt from the salt field was continuously transported along the river.

Lorraine and Catherine carefully grasped this metric. If too much salt is released, these people will not only doubt the origin of the salt, but also the price of the salt sold will drop. If it sells less, Leo will There was a lot of noise at the table.

Every morning Catherine and Leo will fight for today's quota, but Catherine has always won, Leo slapped a few lightly. Heavy is a good meal.

But Leo wiped his nose after the fight. Start thinking about maximizing the benefits of today.

Although the local rich and powerful people boasting that they have sufficient funds and have recently made huge profits from the salt speculation, they are only a group of ground snakes. For half a month, Leo releases a ship of salt every day and a half. The total price of the boat salt is around 50,000 gold coins, Leo has already absorbed half a million gold coins, and the liquid funds in these people's hands have almost been exhausted.

After all, they desperately monopolized the supply of goods just to keep the high price of salt, and now most of their money is replaced by salt and stored in the warehouse.

The price of salt delivered to the port in the exchange has begun to drop. After reaching the highest level of thirty-five silver coins per pound, the salt price will drop by one silver coin every day.

Moreover, there are fewer and fewer bidders participating in the on-site auction. Speculators who have no money in their hands have already withdrawn from the market, guarding their hoarding of salt and starting to dream of getting rich.

The price here is falling, but the price of salt on the market is still rising, mainly because these speculators have consumed the liquidity in their hands and are now eager to earn cash.

At today's dinner table, Leo complained in frustration: "Damn it, these people are too weak now, this has been the sixth consecutive day of price drop. Now a pound of salt can only sell 28, silver coins. And not many people bought it on the spot, I almost bought my own salt today. I was really angry."

After speaking, he bitterly snatched a spare rib from Vera's hand.

Leo was stuffing something in his mouth, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com mumbled: "You still boast that you want to round up the supply, just this bunch of old people, a bunch of big talkers."

Lorraine thought for a while and said: "It's almost there. It's time to end. It seems that the salt merchant has no liquid funds in his hands. If you continue to play, you may be exposed."

Leo hurriedly said: "Okay, boss, I'm avenging you, making them a lot more money is not a better solution to hatred."

Catherine said: "I don't know what you think. No, I will sell it tomorrow. It has been two months and it should be over. Besides, we should go back to the city."

Leo smiled flatly and said, "I will sell it for another day tomorrow. Will it be enough for one day."

"No, every time you break a silver coin, this is already a huge profit." Seeing Leo smiled sweeter. Catherine snorted, lowered her head and stopped looking at Leo, and added casually: "I'll talk about tax increases."

Leo hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands. Nodding vigorously, then sighed helplessly. Said: "I used to sell fifteen thousand in a boat, but in the future I can only sell 500 gold coins in a boat. Alas, "Life is really ups and downs." (To be continued)
