A century of family life: Eternal life since the Republic of China

"Young master, I'm really sorry!".

Smith was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect to be able to meet such a thing after a meal.

"It's okay, I'll eat whatever I want!".

"There's something to deal with next!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, he didn't care too much about this, such people, whether in this era or in future generations, always thought that the world was Western.

I always thought that Huaxia was worthless.

Naturally, he didn't feel much angry because of this piece of garbage.

After leaving the restaurant, his anger was almost gone.

In contrast, he is more concerned about the next action.

"Okay!".

Smith nodded.

The two immediately found a random restaurant for a meal.

"Young master, if you want to purchase grain, I think you can contact the East Tianzhu Company, they control most of Tianzhu, and the grain in Tianzhu can be said to be a bumper harvest in recent years. "

After the meal, Smith offered his opinion to Jiang Chen.

The East Tianzhu Company, sometimes referred to as the John Company, was formed on 31 December 1600 when Queen Elizabeth I of England granted the company a royal warrant, granting it privileges in the Tianzhu trade. In fact, this license gave Dongtianzhu a monopoly for 21 years.

With the change of time, the East Tianzhu Company established the British Tianzhu, from a commercial trading enterprise to the actual master of Tianzhu.

"Dongtianzhu Company, hasn't it been dissolved?".

Listening to Smith's words, Jiang Chen's expression was a little puzzled.

For this famous and notorious Dongtianzhu Company, he is naturally clear.

It's just that in his memory, this company should have ceased to exist decades ago.

After the Tianzhu Uprising in 1857, the company also handed over its management to John Bull, and Tianzhu became a direct colony of John Bull. In the mid-1860s, the company delivered John Bull to all of its properties in India. The company only helps John Bull in the tea trade.

"It's over, but they still have a lot of influence in the whole Tianzhu. "

Smith nodded, then shook his head and explained softly.

And as he explained. Jiang Chen also roughly understood what was going on.

"Got it!".

"It's not impossible to contact them, but I need to be a long-term channel that can provide a lot of food, can they do that?".

Jiang Chen groaned for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.

For this notorious company, Jiang Chen is not very resistant.

Nowadays, in the whole of the West, there are few that are clean.

Even the mustachioed country that was blown into the sky by later generations is also full of.

If he really cares about this thing, then he doesn't have to do anything.

"It should be possible!".

"Their influence is still there, and they can also radiate Southeast Asia!".

Smith nodded.

As a person of Eagle Sauce, he still knows a lot about this aspect.

After all, Eagle sauce and these people have always wanted to expand the interests of the Far East.

So much so that these people who came to the Far East can be said to be extremely clear about the whole situation.

"That's good!".

"Smith, you go to contact over there, in a short time, let's purchase 500,000 silver dollars of grain first, and it will continue to increase in the future!"

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.

As for why it's half a million silver dollars.

And not more.

It was also his consideration.

Even if he wants to help the people.

You also have to consider the size of the Jiang family.

Today's Jiang family can only bear such a big amount, no matter how much, I'm afraid that one will think more.

It's better to think about your own safety.

There is no way, the Jiang family is not strong enough at this time, and everything needs to think about the consequences.

Only further growth, even reaching a higher level, does not need to be considered.

But fortunately, this one won't be too long.

As the year 1912 ticked, the situation in the world became more and more urgent, and now the whole world may not be aware of the impending war that is about to engulf the whole world.

This will be an unprecedented disaster for mankind, and it will also be an unprecedented opportunity for the Jiang family.

He just had to wait.

"Yes!".

"Young master, I'll do it immediately. "

Smith replied, but he didn't think much of it at this point.

After Jiang Chen's order.

He just began to quickly contact the East Tianzhu Company.

As a foreigner.

At this time, although the status of Eagle Sauce is not high, it is naturally easier to speak than the Chinese people.

Three days later.

Smith already had good news.

And to Jiang Chen's surprise, the price of grain was surprisingly low.

500,000 silver dollars can actually purchase 20 million catties of grain.

You must know that Jiang Chen had investigated the price of grain before he came, and the "Xinxing Bai" brand rice, which has the largest sales volume in the south, is priced at 6.25 yuan per stone (silver yuan, the same below), and ordinary flour is priced at 5.39 yuan per stone. At that time, one stone was 80 kilograms.

Jiang Chen felt that even if the price of grain in Southeast Asia was lower, it was still a big problem whether 500,000 silver dollars could be purchased for 10 million catties of grain, and it was even basically impossible.

But in fact, there were 20 million catties of grain.

And there is also a promise of package delivery.

It's a very dangerous situation.

Of course, at this moment, he didn't know that Dong Tianzhu was worried about the new market.

In recent years, with the rise of new powers, business at sea has become more and more difficult.

The tea business has also been hit hard.

Having lost its original privileges, Dongtianzhu Company is not having such a good time now.

500,000 silver dollars, although not very large, is a lot of money for them, and Smith also promised that there will be purchases in the future.

All of a sudden, their eyes lit up.

Naturally, the price is also extraordinarily favorable.
