From Chief to Ball

"What are they plotting?"

Everyone pondered for a while, but soon got an explanation.

"You said, is it because the people of the Mexican party have nothing to do? They think that we have manipulated the prices of lint and seed cotton, so they want farmers to get the difference directly? After all, the people of the Mexican party have brain problems, especially It's that Hu Lin, they can do this kind of thing that they can do when they are full."

After saying this, everyone suddenly realized.

"That's right, this group of people can do such a thing. It's too normal... Didn't you say that Chen Jian also established a labor union in his workshop? This group of people must have problems with their heads. If someone else did it, there might be a For any other purpose, they did it, probably for those farmers."

"That's right. They can do this kind of thing. Isn't this destroying people's fortunes?"

After trying to understand the whole story, the leaders couldn't help laughing: "Idiots. In the past, the price of seed cotton was indeed lower than that of lint cotton. That's because we can make a difference when we buy seed cotton. They, the morons of the Mexican party, promoted the cotton gin, Do you think the price of lint is still last year's price?"

"Yeah, a bunch of ridiculous idiots. At that time, we will save the part of removing the seeds. After the price is lowered, those people will understand that this is a dead end. At that time... Hahaha, the group of the Mexican Party are talking about growing cotton Those who can make money but don’t want to lose will cry, I’m afraid the farmers will resent these idiots.”

"Okay, Chen Jian is also a character from our Min County, but he is younger. Just be us uncles and teach him a lesson, hahaha..."

Amidst the ridicule, several businessmen who were originally engaged in cotton ginning workshops and earned the price difference couldn't sit still.

"Everyone, we used to be of one mind. Now Chen Jian broke his promise, sold us a cotton gin, and went to wink at those farmers. What shall we do?"

"That's right! How much profit is there in this business? You spinning and weaving don't matter, what about us?"

The few leaders frowned and said, "Then what do you think we should do? Fight? The group of the Mexican party are now operating in groups in the countryside. Can you beat that group of pickets?"

"Yes. Originally, if your cotton ginning workshop was still there, you would fire those cotton ginners at a time when the Chinese New Year is approaching or when there is no work in the market, and let them spread the fire on Chen Jian. It's broken. His reputation can destroy his workshop again. But Chen Jian took all the ginners away early, and now he has nowhere to find anyone who wants to smash him."

"Look for gangsters to do it in the city? There are a group of hooligans under Zhao Si's hands. Do you really think Chen Jian's hands are so clean? Do it in the countryside? Those farmers must help them. We businessmen have a bad reputation there."

"His workshop is in Nan'an, and it's well-established there. There's also a group of miners supporting him. Isn't he looking for death if he goes there to smash it?"

The few flower ginners slapped their legs and cursed: "This guy is thinking hard! Breaking promises! There is really no way out in whatever line of work you do! He had already thought about it, first took the ginners away, and when he arrived Now there are only a few people under my hands..."

"The cotton gin I bought can't receive seed cotton. What should I do in this workshop? I bought this machine for nothing?"

"I can still work for another year this year. What about next year? Drink the wind?"

"Yes, if you didn't believe Chen Jian's words at the beginning, those ginners were in their hands, even if you asked the government to solve it. If Chen Jian dared to sell the cotton gin to farmers, we would make the cotton ginners in Mincheng mess up. Get up, let those officials deal with Chen Jian."

"What's the use of talking about it now? Those people are really full and sick! Those farmers have benefited, what can you get? If you don't get the benefits, you will eat you instead. Your ancestors scolded you Can't live in peace."

These few people were frowning and complaining, and those in the leadership thought that you don’t need to gin cotton now, and you don’t depend on you to control the price of cotton. Even if you scold, it doesn’t matter to us, we just pretend that we don’t have it. The solution... If you want to blame, then blame Chen Jian and the group of people with sick heads.

Desperate and helpless, and it is difficult to use overt and secret methods, they can be regarded as truly feeling the feeling of wanting to cry without tears and asking for help after the peasants were squeezed by them.

Looking at the faces of those speculators, how can these people not understand in their hearts.Now that I can't use myself in the process of ginning, why do I need to discuss with myself?What kind of guild rules and tenderness, that's just what everyone needs.

Now these speculators and cotton spinning masters can control the price of lint next year with their own money. They only need money and don’t even need the process of ginning. Who wants to let these people share the profits?

The frowning owner of the flower ginning workshop really had no choice but to be alone. In desperation, he had no choice but to beg: "Everyone, what are we going to do next year? How will we live on in the future? Just the few of us, we don't care about Chen Jian." There is no harm, you have to give it a shot. Who knows if Chen Jian will reach out to the cotton spinning industry in the future? He is peeling us off bit by bit!"

The leading speculators mourned: "We can't do anything about it. What law do you think he broke? It didn't cause mass incidents. Instead, all the homeless people in Min County went to work. Such people What can we do to get him? His business is glass, steel, small objects, and mirrors, which have nothing to do with us, and we are powerless."

"Besides, he doesn't smuggle, and there's nothing to catch on him. Even if he smuggles, his father is still a naval officer. On the contrary, if he really wants to provoke him, he will reveal the things about us..."

"As for manipulating cotton to get involved in the cotton spinning business, you guys are overthinking it. How can he get involved? He can destroy Tian Wenliang's family with a glass factory with 200 people, but with 200 people...even if 1000 people or 2000 people, he can do it Pry these cotton?"

"Now it's a done deal. We've been together for so many years, and we can't bear it in our hearts. There's nothing we can do about it. But next year, cotton production will definitely increase a lot. By then, you can also do some spinning and weaving business. Nothing to do."

The few people thought about it, and with a long sigh, they had no choice but to accept it.

However, originally he was the overlord of his party, and he could still chat and laugh happily with these people; after next year, he could only rely on others.

Some people had a wrong idea, but the speculators immediately warned: "Don't move any wrong ideas. Hiring someone to kill Chen Jian will not help. His reputation in Mincheng is much better than ours, and he is a member of the Academy. Sir, if something happens, you can’t settle it. It’s troublesome if you kill him, but it’s even more troublesome if you can’t kill him. This kind of person will take revenge... Don’t forget that he also has an explosives workshop and an ordnance workshop in Nan’an.”

……

Neither the turmoil in the cotton spinning industry nor the Nan'an Canal incident caused a large-scale sensation in Fujian City.

The former is a matter within the circle, and the impact will not appear until a year later; the latter will not affect the lives of ordinary people until it is completed.

It's the New Year's Eve again, and it's the trading season for orchid bulbs.

Driven by this wave of bubbles, Mincheng ushered in the busiest time of winter.Wine shops, teahouses, exchanges, stamp duty collection offices, money houses...these places are trading every day, and the orchids cultivated and selected by gardeners are becoming more and more beautiful.

The futures system has gradually matured, and the stamp tax proposed by Henry Zhang’s father under Chen Jian’s proposal has also made a huge contribution to Mincheng’s tax revenue. The Ministry of Finance greatly appreciated this, and the final meeting was just a formality... According to some sources, Henry Zhang’s father may also take over as the next tax officer of the entire county of Min County.

Commercial officer Shi Ming strongly supported the orchid futures, and put forward many constructive suggestions, but it did not affect the above, but he had a good reputation in the orchid market in Mincheng, and someone even wrote an article praising the prosperity of the orchid market. must.

In the last glass workshop incident, Shi Ming supported Tian Wenliang by relying on his equal rights, but after Tian Wenliang fell, Chen Jian didn't seem to care at all, and didn't bother him at all.

Shi Lei, who had a little conflict with Chen Jian a few years ago, has long since lost the qualification to be equal to Chen Jian. Instead, he made some money by relying on his father and the orchid trend, but compared to the person who fought with him at the pier, it was too much. distant.

All kinds of rumors continued that the orchid market was still stable, and some people took over, and even spread to neighboring counties. It seemed that there was a trend of bubbles sweeping the coastal counties.

Just at the end of the year, when the orchid bulb winter futures trading was the busiest, a big news came out of that strange red brick building, which immediately overwhelmed the Chinese New Year and orchid trend.

"I have obtained a special trade license, and I can go to Qi to conduct legal trade. There are a total of nine ship guides. However, due to my huge expenses such as repairing roads and bridges, donating to charity, and setting up schools, I was short of funds at the moment."

"Considering the risks of cargo ship exchanges, but the profits are quite high, and we want everyone to benefit and get rich together, so we decided to open a venture capital company."

"There is a total shortfall of 14 silver coins. In order to benefit more people and prevent everyone from going bankrupt due to risks, I hereby declare that the maximum amount for a single person shall not exceed [-] silver coins, and the minimum subscription amount is [-] silver coins."

"Except for the [-]% of the income from the franchise trade of the Ministry of Households, the rest is distributed according to the profit, and the year-end profit distribution account is clear and checkable."

"If you want to buy quickly, there are not many shortages. Also recruit caravan guards, retired gunners, navigators, stargazers..."

"Maritime transportation is risky, and investment needs to be cautious."

"Chen Jian. The [-]th year of the Chinese calendar, the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Chapter 122 The Fifty-Power Receiver of Two

It is clearly written, shipping has risky investment and needs to be cautious.

But as soon as the news came out, it immediately ignited an upsurge in the entire Fujian city.

Everyone knows that shipping by sea is risky, but there is no need to write about it.

However, the franchise trade can be hugely profitable, as long as all the ships are not destroyed, they can always make a fortune.

And there is no need to board the boat by yourself, just to invest some money. Everyone really can't think of a better investment method than this - except for the orchid futures that have been popular in recent years.

Money can make money instead of looking forward to money falling from the sky, this is the progress of the way of thinking.Many big speculators disliked Chen Jian's setting the maximum limit, and wished to put all their money into it.Although smuggling is extremely profitable, it is still risky, and it is not as good as justifiable trade.

Especially this news was posted by Chen Jian. We all know that Chen Jian has a good means of making money, and he has various workshops. In addition, the new glass will definitely sell well in Qi. No matter how you look at it, it is a great investment opportunity with at least 50.00% profit.

Under the huge benefits, everyone only sees the profits and deliberately forgets the risks involved.
