Chapter 194: Meiji Restoration (10)

day.
On the cherry tree in the yard, I do n’t know if it ’s a magpie or a sparrow. There are dewdrops on the leaves. The dewdrops on the leaves are too heavy, and they will flow down. The water basin turned down like a spray.
Only Huang Xuan lived in a room surrounded by a patio, and he was still sleeping dimly, and hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Who is it?" Huang Xuan dazzled his head and took a sip of water, leaving the blanket that he randomly covered last night aside.
"Mitsui Gaosui took another four." Lorraine answered quickly. In the era of electronic information, it is also very troublesome to figure out the identity of the other party.
"It seems that they are in a hurry." Huang Xuan sorted out his clothes, sat lazily on the ground, leaned against the wall, and said, "Isaki did not come?"
"No."
"What about the downfall army? Is there any sign of departure." In front of Noton, Lorraine was not wasting energy, monitoring day and night.
"Osaka's falling army is not yet ready to go, nor are there any indications of British cargo ships or mass production of bullets."
Huang Xuan nodded his head. Osaka is the largest industrial base in Japan except Edo. Although there are few modern machines, but as long as there are not enough bullets, the army can only rely on the British. If it was so unfortunate that a British ship came to Japan to sell arms, he also said that he must not be sunk. According to Lorraine, sinking a 1,000-ton iron-clad ship within 300 miles of Kyoto may require 3 yuan of electricity, which is equivalent to the price of a Tomahawk cruise missile. Less than a last resort, he is not prepared to do so.
Iwasaki has not yet seen the scenery after the Meiji Restoration. However, in Osaka, or the Kanto region, his influence is already great. As the predecessor of the joint organization of the chamber of commerce, his storehouse has developed very well, and his overall financial strength is only slightly inferior to the Mitsui family. As for the businessmen who are politically inclined to the Shogunate, almost all of them are now falling apart. Huang Xuan wondered whether Iwasaki had established Mitsubishi by plundering the property of these Shoguns.
Ito Bowenha stood behind Mitsui Takasui with his waist. After Huang Xuan washes and opened the door, he raised his head alertly, paying attention to the man who brought the latest Japanese technology.
This is a young and excessively Chinese, but unlike the Qing people he often sees, it is not just hair, but more of a temperament. In his memory, only those proud foreigners will have this This kind of innate sense of superiority is like the sense of inferiority of the widowed people in a small country in Japan.
Ito Bowen was still thinking about it. Mitsui Takasui has started a routine greeting. Although he was anxious when he was outside the door, he made a noise to wake Huang Xuan, but when he got into the room, he started talking about the weather again, as if The same with Obasan.
Huang Xuan responded casually, and waited until the waitress at the hotel prepared tea and snacks. Mitsui seemed to wake up and said: "Master Huang hasn't eaten breakfast yet? I'm sorry ..."
"You haven't eaten yet." Huang Xuanhua ridiculed inside and outside.
Mitsui said unknowingly: "I just ate a little when I went out."
"Let's eat together." Huang Xuan pushed the plate and said, "I didn't expect there are Chinese-style meals here. You probably don't eat too much."
Mitsui chuckled. Randomly said a few words. With a look in his eyes, Ito Bowen straightened up and cleared his throat: "Under Ito Bowen. May I ask Mr. Wong's drawing bid?" Similar to the corporate culture of modern Japan, there are few people with higher status Actively introduce people with lower status.
"100 silver, we said that." Huang Xuan, who has no learning skills, has not had the opportunity to hear the name of Ito Bowen, and his way of learning, if not the influence of the family and mother. It is also difficult to know Mitsui Chaebol.
Ito Hirofumi smiled. Tao: "If Master Huang wants to draw a complete map paper now. I'm afraid it will take a long time."
The complete design drawing plus the manual is even a copy. A person may use it for several months, and Huang Xuan has no long body, the Japanese naturally doubt it.
Huang Xuan said, "As long as you can afford it, you can have as many drawings as possible."
He really didn't brag.
It seems that today the Japanese are negotiating by Ito Hirofumi. He smiled and stretched his moustache two times. He pinched the clothes on his legs. There was no problem with the drawings where they came from. As Huang Xuandi said, "We did Not so much money, but 200,000 two silver total:
Huang Xuan laughed.
To go, said: "So, there is nothing to talk about."
Mitsui Takasu quickly got up and stood at the entrance of the Japanese room and said, "Master Huang, although we can't get cash, we can use materials as collateral."
He didn't really want to raise the price, but just an argument.
Huang Xuan sat down again and said, "How much can you take out as a mortgage?" He said another wave of hands, and said: "In another 10 days, Master Li Hongzhang is coming. If the transaction cannot be completed, then Needless to say. "
—
Huang Xuan said that it was the heart of the Japanese, and Ito Bowen's heart was called "sure enough," and then smiled at Huang Xuan: "Master Huang, is it because these drawings were originally prepared by the Qing Dynasty?"
He said this very tactfully, Huang Xuanchi smiled and said: "Gift to you? It's almost the same to North Korea. 80, a price, if you don't want to talk again, then forget it."
"Sir Huang, you always have to let us see the drawings." Ito Bowen said roundly.
With a sneer, Huang Xuan turned back and opened the large cabinet that the hotel used to put bedding. The loaded drawings suddenly poured out.
Sanwei Yong quickly picked it up. Huang Xuan did not want to sit on his knees, so he leaned his legs against the wooden wall diagonally and said, "There are almost one-fifth here, and the rest will wait until I see the money."
Ito blog post read a drawing in hand, and said: "It takes a few years to build a steel factory. If no one guides, it is easy to go wrong, and Master Huang can have time."
"No." Huang Xuan knew he wanted to cut prices, but in fact he didn't care about cutting prices. His bottom line was 200,000 two silver, which was far less than the Japanese thought.
Hearing Huang Xuan following his own words, Ito Bowen immediately said: "Master Huang, no one guides us, we will have to pay a lot of money to find foreigners, so that our funds will be more strained."
"Then don't buy it." Huang Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he didn't want to talk.
Ito Hirofumi and Mitsui Takasui looked at each other. The latter waved their hands and finally said, "Master Huang, you said you wanted to buy some abalone last time and you don't know which abalone you want?"
"What is there?"
"The best of the net abalone is the famous product produced by the Hanagaya family, and the best for the best abalone is the Shipingtian Wulang family. The Hema abalone is best produced by the Xionggu family. Shouldn't you bring some of it back? Mitsui Kosui is very understanding.
Huang Xuan didn't know that there are famous masters of abalone drying. In fact, even in modern times, Japanese abalones are the best, but cooking has to go to Hong Kong.
"What's the price?"
"One kilogram of net abalone is 300 silver, and the top grade abalone and hema abalone are only 200." The catty he said is naturally Sima Jin.
300 silver, according to the silver price at this time, about 175 yuan. It is conservatively estimated that there are also about 500 gold. This price can only eat a fresh abalone in Guangzhou.
And a net abalone, selling three or five million is also idle, thinking of this price, Huang Xuan shuddered a bit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ accused himself of no good, rubbed his face pretending not to wake up, said: "Then the remaining 600,000 two silver will be replaced with abalone."
Ito Bowen looked at Mitsui and said with a smile: "Master Huang, and not to mention that there are so many abalones, there are too many 600,000 twos. Is there a total of 40 two silvers?"
"You think about it slowly, you can hold these drawings first. If you want, prepare abalone and silver now. One abalone is calculated according to the price you said, and the price of two abalones is 4 or 3 per catty. Bao is to be divided by 16, and it is counted in turn. "At this time, in fact, the concept of a few abalones was already there, but the Japanese were not good at it, and they did not eat much.
Ito Bowen was a little stunned. Huang Xuan had moved out of the Japanese room and said, "I'm going to go to Kyoto to see it first. I'll be back in a few days. There is still half of the foreign guns in the other house. , Until I come back, I hope you can figure out how much to pay. "
The living biological bomb has just arrived. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor was in Miyagi in Kyoto until he moved the capital. He had a bomb in his hand and did n’t dispose of it there.
He said as soon as he stretched, he walked out with Dian Wei, who was also yawning. Even a hero, staying up late is going to be sleepy.
