Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000
Chapter 42: Spitsbergen (6)
Wei Luwei is the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Svalbard, but not the governor of the Netherlands in Svalbard, so his orders can only be passed within the East India Company. For the merchants belonging to the East India Company, whether to follow the company's advice depends only on the distribution of benefits, and only those employees who work for the company will follow orders. Therefore, not only did Huang Xuan's small booth not reduce the number of people, but the transaction volume was on the rise. What surprised him slightly was that most people were unwilling to sell whale oil, even if he paid the purchase price in Europe last year. One day and one night, Huang Xuan sold a full 300 tons of grain and all the spices, and all the samples that had been placed on his booth were also taken away, but due to too many people trading, it was too late to put them on. By the morning of the next day, the number of talents gradually decreased, but around the warehouse, there were sailors lying here and there. Most of them came to work as porters to earn extra money, and a few were dispatched by the captain. When there is no work, they lie down on the cold ground to rest. Huang Xuan rubbed his eyes, hoping to relieve the fatigue of the night. He was in a state of mental tension and excitement. So far, he had received 3,500 florins. Although they were temporarily placed in the channel of the plane, those The tall sailors didn't know, he was always worried about how the red-eyed people would behave if someone shouted. Fortunately, the red hairs are still safe for the time being. Another batch of grain was sent out of the warehouse. Huang Xuan took a breath, took out the registration slip in his hand, and shouted, Who is Mr. Keley? He rushed out from the corner of the wall, grabbed Huang Xuan's hand and said, Mr. Philips, it's me, don't shout. Oh. Huang Xuan shrugged, and said, Mm..., Mr. Keley? It's me. Klee's nose seemed to be dripping with sweat. He looked at the warehouse behind him and said, Shall we talk inside? It's right here. Huang Xuan shook his head. He always kept himself in the public eye. Even if you go to the warehouse to look at the goods, it is no exception. Only by increasing your vigilance can you reduce the greed of others. It's not very convenient here. Big Nose obviously doesn't like this place, it's too eye-catching. Huang Xuan shook his head persistently. Okay. Klee licked his lips, turned his head towards the door, and said, I want to buy your candy, how much do you have? As he spoke, he spread out his clenched palms, all of which were Huang Xuan Bring the sugar. About 6,000 pounds, maybe a little more, what's the matter? Huang Xuan has been wondering why all the spices were sold, but the sugar was not sold at all. He originally guessed whether it had something to do with the different planes, this plane Sugar has long been available in Europe, but they don't know it. It's all because someone with a heart took all the sugar that was used as a sample. Make an offer. The big nose trembled slightly, like fear, but also like excitement. Huang Xuan narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers lightly on the wall of the warehouse, thought for a while, and said, Do you want 6,000 pounds? Well. The Dutchman was a little impatient, and asked, Make a price, I don't have much time. I think we'll have to wait for Monsieur Juan, he wants the sugar too, and you see, his fleet will arrive in the afternoon. Clear wrinkled his nose, he didn't Like this Spanish name, he stared at Huang Xuan condescendingly and said, hoi, from Java Island, I know you want to charge a high price, don't play tricks. Really? Huang Xuan didn't care about such low-level intimidation, Huang The dumbest kid in the family would not change his mind because of this, he shrugged, picked up the registration form, and was about to call the next person. Klee had to cover the paper with his palm, raised his other hand, and said respectfully, God bless, my price will satisfy you. Maybe you can come back in the afternoon. Huang Xuan didn't call He opened the hand covered with frostbite, but put the hand holding the registration form behind his back. I'm leaving this afternoon, taking my boat with me, understand? Klee looked around, but no one noticed him. He decided not to work with Wei Luwei anymore, he wanted to go back to Europe, as long as he brought 6,000 pounds of pure white sugar, he could live a good life in any European country. Now, he had eight thousand florins on hand, which was all his property...well, plus some money for whale oil. Wei Luwei is old, and his old judgment has declined. He bought whale oil at the price of European whale oil last year! Who would do such a stupid thing? Even if there is a war, the most valuable thing will not be whale oil, but more likely to transport food that is difficult to transport. Who cares about the damn war materials, only the guy who was dazzled by the title . 1,000 florins per thousand pounds. Klee couldn't help asking the price, he didn't have time to spend here, who knows when Wei Luwei will think of him. Huang Xuan's time was also very tight, but he still put on a gesture and said, Look, Mr. Juan has already ordered this batch of candy. I can't sell it to you. 1100 florins. Klee asked again and restrained himself Live with the thought of looking around. 1400. This is Lorraine's suggestion, 14 florins can buy a sheep, and it's fair to exchange half a ton of sugar for 100 sheep... But at this moment, Huang Xuan thought of tulips again, if it was 1400 florins In the case of Luo Lin, you can probably buy one-fifth of the Forever Augustus. What a pervert. Klee wrinkled his big nose, and counter-offered: 1200. I only have so much.
Huang Xuan glanced at him. He could stay here for a day, so he shook his head firmly and said, It seems that I have to wait for Mr. Juan. Klee panted heavily, his fists were clenched loudly, Huang Xuan glanced at him indifferently, attacking a time traveler with level 22 authority, the other party must have a strong backing. Big Nose left disappointedly He couldn't use all his assets to buy the sugar in Huang Xuan's hands, that would be too risky, although the risk of offending the East India Company was even greater. Turning the register to the next page, Huang Xuan felt very tired, and he still I have never stayed up late to work, and now I have experienced it. Another Englishman exchanged a boatload of whales for half a boatload of wheat. Britain is a country that is accustomed to importing. After a few years, they will still import wheat from Norway. Huang Xuan just The time has been advanced. At night, Huang Xuan's main job becomes purchases. He has to spend all the gold coins in his hand. It is a stupid idea to bring metal products home, at least for now. Open a There is a warehouse where buyers can order goods by themselves, while Huang Xuan waits outside the door, watching the sailors on the other side chanting and carrying bags of grain, while a guy with green eyes yells loudly: Be careful, Don't spill it. The ship owner who wants to sell will unload the whale on the pier near the warehouse. After Huang Xuan points, a large group of paid sailors will try their best to drag it into the rented warehouse nearby, and Lorraine will use it He used all conceivable methods to steal the whale meat from the docks or warehouses. If necessary, he would even stun the workers on the docks. Anyway, he was not the only one lying on the ground sleeping. This may be the happiest time in Green Bay in the past 10 years. All the ship owners who are moored in the port have got the news. Not only the East India Company will buy whale oil at the CIF price in Europe, but also some people are willing to buy any part of the whale. And it can be exchanged for good-quality food. Is there anything more gratifying than making more money? Only the owners of those small boats tensed up. Because of the small size of the boats, most of the whales they caught were divided The most valuable whale oil, only a large ship weighing hundreds of tons is willing to bring the whole whale back to the port and replenish fresh water by the way. During this feast, the small boat owners can only comfort themselves, after all, the price of whale oil has increased. The vacant boat space can be rented to other boat owners, or take advantage of this time to go out to sea again. This time, the whale body will never be lost again. Huang Xuan still didn't know that he had changed the fate of many people, so he shouted with heavy eyelids Looking at every name on the register, he either collects money, or exchanges, or pays to buy every whale he sees. As for whether it is an arctic whale or a minke whale, Huang Xuan doesn't care. Another warehouse is full. Whale meat, Huang Xuan picked up a dry towel to wipe Frost's face, and complained, Why isn't there even antifreeze here? They should have given you whale oil to wipe your face. It was Juan who had disappeared for a day who was speaking. His hair was stuck to his temples by the damp sea breeze, and he looked very depressed. The smell is too fishy. Huang Xuan sniffed and said, I thought you wouldn't come. You still have the white sugar I asked for, right? Juan was a little anxious. He rushed back at the risk of capsizing the boat. Huang Xuan spread his hands and said, Although you didn't give me a deposit, I still left them in the warehouse. sell them to you. Thank you, dear brother. Juan was so excited that he opened his arms and wanted to hug Huang Xuan, but was dodged nimbly. 1400 guilders per thousand pounds, or the equivalent of a whale. Huang Xuan didn't let go at all because of Juan's enthusiasm. Every businessman was very enthusiastic in quoting money. Juan exhaled white breath, stared at Huang Xuan and said, We are friends, aren't we? 1400 Dutch guilders, or give it to someone else. The cannonballs of this level didn't even have sugar coating, Huang Xuan shook the register in his hand and said: Come to me after you think about it. The Spaniard was still thinking about it, and the big-nosed Klee rushed out from behind the warehouse, carefully looked around, looked at Juan with narrowed eyes, and said, 1400 florins, I want it. Huang Xuan spread his hands again, shrugged and said, So, which one of you most wants to take away 6,000 pounds of sugar? I want 8400 florins. I! The Spaniard and the Dutchman spoke at the same time, then glared at each other, and said with big noses: We talked first? It's us. Juan retorted: I ordered this batch of sugar. But no deposit was paid. Big Nose obviously heard the conversation between the two, he took out a pocket on his body, shook it clatteringly, and said: Look, I have brought the deposit. Juan raised his neck and said loudly, Me too. Big Nose flinched at his loud voice, but quickly forgot about the crowd around him, raised his head, and said in Dutch, This is mine. When Juan was about to refute, Huang Xuan stopped their conversation. 1400 florins is already a very high price, otherwise Klee would not have considered it for so long, so there is no need to raise the price, he thought so He said: Then you two, at present I need whales more than Dutch guilders, so whoever brings me the most whales first will get this batch of sugar, how about it? no problem. The two looked at each other, and Juan said: But it's too far to send the oil here... Just stay on the boat.
Huang Xuan was impatient to wait here to pretend to be loaded into the warehouse. He clicked on the warehouse behind him and said, Every thousand pounds is a unit. Whoever prepares the corresponding goods first can take away 1,000 pounds of sugar ,no problem? certainly.
