Chapter 15:

Before dawn, the sound of the horn on the pier shouted. The neat voice with a strong Jiaxing flavor, with mental excitement and fatigue, repeated again and again, and Huang Xuan couldn't sleep, touch Touched his face and climbed up.
Jiang Yisheng had been awake long ago, and was chatting with the shop buddies outside the door at the moment. Huang Xuan looked at it indifferently, and then he washed up.
Zhu dispensers rushed over in a horse-drawn carriage very early. Although it has been 16 years of the Republic of China, the car has no taste to be popularized in ordinary life, let alone small shops like Zhu dispensers. Of course, for him, he still has no energy to consider such unrealistic problems. These problems are his family that he can't beat, and Mr. Jiang Jieshi did not think about it.
The grain price increased by another 10% this morning. This is the life of Zhu dispensers. The major grain shops are facing the danger of the grain being sold out. It is rumored that the government will also introduce measures to limit prices. Just rushed over.
Huang Xuan drank a lot of water and stretched out of the porter with a lazy waist. He said to the shopkeeper Zhu who had just got out of the carriage: "The shopkeeper rushed early. My wheat has been transported to my house. We will go and watch now. Look?"
"I don't know what boss Huang's home is?" Zhu dispensers immediately bowed their hands in respect, but the two men behind him looked dumbfounded. Before dawn, they stood at the gate of the warehouse, waiting for the possible fleet to arrive. The grain of hundreds of stones was quietly transported into the warehouse, with no porter, no sampan, and no grain of wheat sprinkled in front of the warehouse door. The two of you look at me, I look at you, shrinking your head and following behind your shopkeeper, at this moment it is not their turn to speak, so you have to hold your stomach in doubt.
Huang Xuan shook his hand and walked in front of him, his whole face didn't care, as if he was a wealthy son traveling abroad. In modern movie terminology, this looks like a real performance.
Zhu dispensers humbled half a step behind, hugged the gown, and took two steps suddenly said: "I don't know how much wheat has arrived?"
The shopkeeper seemed to like the word "Don't Know", but Huang Xuan did not answer his question. How many wheats looked at Lorraine completely. He pointed to the warehouse and said, "Let's see it first."
The shopkeeper looked at Huang Xuan's random answer in his heart and secretly estimated that it seemed to be another precious man who was ready to pay for the tuition. Considering like this, he also had some care.
Modern seed grains are all excellent varieties cultivated in greenhouses or even greenhouses. They are full of grain and bright in appearance. Compared with their children and grandchildren, the prices of these seeds are up to 5 times, and the eyes of several folks are straight. Then, my heart secretly estimated that these wheats were better than the rice in the warehouse.
Zhu dispensers are well-informed. Although Jiaxing does not grow wheat, he can see at a glance that these are seed grains, and such good seed grains are much more expensive than ordinary grains. As for the way to come, he sees At first glance, Huang Xuan, who was squeezing the wheat grain, was not interested in investigating it. It was the owner's business.
"I don't know what the price is?" Zhu shopkeeper stared at Huang Xuan with an impassive look, but he was calm on the surface.
"70% of the market price." Huang Xuan raised a finger and said: "Give you a day to prepare the money, I only collect the silver dollar, and the others don't."
At this time, Jiang Jieshi and Jiang Jiangshi still have time to reform the fiat currency. However, for various purposes, the merchants really prefer to collect hard currency such as silver dollars. The head of Nono said that the profit of 30% was too tempting. Besides, the price of food would only skyrocket in the future, but to say yes, he did not have enough cash.
Huang Xuan didn't see the idea of ​​Zhu's shopkeeper. He just wanted to sell the grain quickly. He didn't wait for Zhu's shopkeeper to speak. He said again: "The trouble with the shopkeeper, please lend me two warehouses first. Is the rent calculated together?"
"This is no problem." The other party agreed in one bite. Over the past two months, the grain has sold more and less. The warehouse is mostly empty. He looked at Huang Xuan and the grain in the warehouse. He gritted his teeth and said, : "You can find Xiaoliuzi in the warehouse. Will I be able to send the money over at night?"
"Then I'll wait for you." Huang Xuan shrugged and said casually. Zhu dispensers left three buddies
Just like in the era of Huang Xuan, the upstream controls the downstream, and the downstream holds the upstream. Everything depends on who has the advantage of the market. When there is a shortage of food in the market, the news that Zhu dispensers get a large amount of grain is like four wings. The ducks flew out of the dock like noon. Before noon, many shops sent people to wander around the dock area. Huang Xuan pretended not to see them, but stayed with Jiang Yisheng in the warehouse to watch the guys weigh the wheat.
Lorraine put about 15 tons of wheat, and removed the packaging bag. In order to hide the information of the times, his method is much simpler and cleaner than Huang Xuan. According to the current calculation method, these will look like 250 stones, and even more small stones. In fact, Shanghai and other places have begun to use the British system of measurement, but in Xianpu, the folks are still used to the old-fashioned method.
Huang Xuan has a book in his heart, and he is not too worried about someone slipping. He just asked Jiang Yisheng to help him. He walked out and walked out. He was impatient with these tedious and specific tasks. He wanted to take a serious look at this turning era. , By the way to see if Tianwai Feicai hit behind him.
If there is enough time, the information provided by Lorraine can bring hundreds of thousands of profits, but I do n’t know whether it is because of Huang Xuan ’s authority or the ability of Lorraine ’s base. Lorraine only promised to let him here Staying for 3 days, and there is no guarantee how much time he can save at home, maybe one day later, maybe three days later, so Huang Xuan did not dare to stay longer.
Looking at the information that Lorraine handed to himself, Huang Xuan was somewhat sighed. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, an era of inspiration erupted. People who have just gone through technological advances, economic crises, and world wars have countless emotions to express.
But fortunately and unfortunately, perhaps because of the outbreak, too much information has overwhelmed contemporary people, and more of them have not been valued in their lifetime. The only painting sold by Van Gogh during his lifetime was "Red Vineyard". It is said that others still saw his brother Theo's affection, so when he learned that his work was sold for 400 francs, he was happy to mention it. Ao said: "Do you believe it? My paintings can be sold for at least 500 francs after I die." However, to everyone's surprise, after his 100th anniversary, his painting "14 Sunflowers "The Vase" was auctioned to 48 million US dollars, the highest price of Western oil painting in history at that time.
In 1890, Van Gogh shot himself. In 1927, 37 years later, $ 10,000 was almost enough to buy all of Van Gogh's works. In 70 years, the total value of these works is enough to put anyone's name on the Forbes rich list It is a pity that Huang Xuan did not have enough time to collect them.
Not only Van Gogh, the painters of this era—perhaps the painters of the entire era—rarely triumphed during their lifetimes, and the prices of their artworks naturally changed a lot. Picasso, Malevich, Henry Rousseau, for centuries, As far as money is concerned, its price has increased by a hundredfold, and few investments have higher returns.
However, the reasons for Huang Xuan's emotions have nothing to do with the lives of the artists. He just regretted that he didn't have time to go to Paris to take a look, buy a few rolls and go home. According to the current traffic conditions, even a trip to Shanghai and Beijing is troublesome If this is not the case, you can also go to Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong. Speaking, the latter seems to have just returned to China in April, which is a good time to request paintings.
Everything is a curse of time. Huang Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He couldn't buy a finished product to go home, which would conflict with the existing paintings. If a painter is asked to paint two fresh paintings for himself, this seems not What can be done in three days, even if you want to collect a few scattered paintings, you can't do it. He sighed and gave up the tempting idea.
"I don't know why this little brother sighed?" A person beside him suddenly spoke, frightening Huang Xuan.
Just after noon at this moment, the dock workers were standing upright, dancing with oily arms to fight for dinner, a whistle came from far away, Huang Xuanding set his mind, this person had a beautiful bearded man in front of him, must be dark, his body was good The satin material is not old, but the temperament is really old.
"It's all small things." Huang Xuan thought, this is not a small thing. He bleeds in his heart, if he can traffic the last batch of masterpieces, I am afraid that he will become the richest of the three generations of the Huang family. At that time, he wanted to buy a sports car, a sports car, a yacht and a yacht. Buy a game company ...
Anyone in front of him knows Huang Xuan's thoughts, and looks like he's squeezing his beard like a chic, saying: "Brother is Huang?"
"Good." Huang Xuan opened his eyes wide. "Are you?"
It is a pity that the same action hardly has the power of his uncle on a 15-year-old boy. The other party smiled and said: "Old man Zhou Shuming. I heard that a small boss with a thousand grains of food came to Dianpu recently, so he came."
"Oh?"
"I don't know if boss Huang can even give me a number?" Zhou Shuming did not take it lightly because of Huang Xuan's grade. In fact, in this era, countless warlord politicians profited from the troubled times, and their children and relatives were even more familiar. Huang Xuan's age just happened to have a prosperous old man. Although Xianpu is a small town, he has seen many such children. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Huang Xuan smiled a bit cautiously. He was still not used to talking about business when he was not ready, or he was not used to performing business codes without rehearsal. Nevertheless, he Still glanced around the dock secretly, so as not to suddenly rush out of a group of burly men.
The sound of the whistle on the pier remained, Huang Xuan was a bit funny for his movie plot, and turned back to keep a smile and said: "It's not impossible, just ..."
"If there is a relationship between the Mipu of the Xieqiao, the old man still has some face, and Huang Gongzi does not need to worry." Zhou Shuming's title was repeated three times, Huang Xuan shook his head amusedly: "I am not worried about Zhu's shopkeeper, but because of this There is something else to come, not willing to be in trouble. "
"What can I say to listen to the old man?"
Huang Xuan was in a state at this moment. He considered his words and said: "My father loves Chinese studies. He heard that there have been many scattered books in the Jiaxing area in recent years. It is especially sad. This time, the grain transportation came to serve the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The second part is to buy a batch of books and go back, but the second is to make money. "
His remarks were true and false, with a sense of pride cultivated from childhood, Zhou Shuming was amazed and could not guess Huang Xuan's identity.
