"Treasurer Chen, who are these?" Zhao Shaodong looked at the three people brought by Chen Treasurer, put down the account book in his hand, and asked slowly.
"Young owner, these are gentlemen from Nanyang, there is a deal to discuss with the young owner"
Yi Xiaojun took the lead in speaking; "Hello, Zhao Dongjia! Despise Yi Xiaojun, these two are Xiao Zhuren and Wang Industry. I waited for a businessman returning from Nanyang, went to Hong Kong, passed through Xin'an County, and learned that Xianghe Business was one of the largest businesses, and I came to meet the next owner to discuss trading.
"Good to say, good to say, please sit down." Come on, look at the tea! After that, he waved his hand and invited a few people to sit down.
He began to look at a few people, although he had seen many Nanyang merchants, but how to look at these three people were a little awkward, especially the hair, not much longer than the monk. More like the hairstyle of a New Army soldier in the city of Guangzhou.
Looking at the manners and actions, it is also vulgar.
He despised in his heart, this Chinese who came back from Nanyang forgot my Chinese etiquette.
Look at the watch handed over by Chen Treasurer. I took a breath in my heart, what a luxurious watch, if nothing else, the shiny gemstones set on this dial are worth a lot.
After a long time, Zhao Shao reluctantly put down the watch and said: "This watch is extremely exquisitely made, and it can be worn on the wrist, but it is very convenient, which is rare."
Yi Xiaojun replied: "This watch can be wound automatically, no matter how long it takes, it can walk normally, without stopping, not slowing down." Note: The first self-winding watch was invented in 1926. Previously, it was all manual winding.
"Oh, and so amazing? But it's unheard of. Then dare to ask Mr. Yi, what is the price of this watch? How much is in stock? "
Before the three people came, they had discussed that the price of this watch was more than 300 oceans, and the total of 300 watches brought could be exchanged for more than 90,000 oceans.
Mr. Yi replied, "This watch costs 800 silver dollars a piece, and we have 300 pieces here."
"Mr. Yi, 800 pieces of silver yinyang, it's too expensive, how many people can buy it?" In this way, I count Mr. 200 silver oceans, and I want all three hundred yuan. How is it? "
'There are still many rich people, 200 silver dollars a piece is 60,000 silver dollars, although there is no price predicted, but when the three of them think of the ocean of 60,000 white flowers, they can't hold on, and immediately let go.
"Well, for the sake of recruiting the owner's sincerity, just do what the owner wants." Yi Xiaojun also pretended to be calm, but Wang Gonggong and Xiao Zhuren, the two faces with joyful faces, were exposed.
The young owner thought in his heart, it seems to be high. However, this watch is so exquisite and rare, if it is sold for 500 silver dollars, there must be people who will flock to it.
It's just that the amount of this business is too large, and I have to discuss with my father, stabilize them first, find out where they are coming from, and wait until Hong Kong.
"Mr. Yi, it's just that there is not so much cash in the semicolon, and it needs to be delivered to the main number in Hong Kong. I wonder if a few gentlemen can stay for one night and go to Hong Kong with them tomorrow?
"That's fine, I'm going to Hong Kong and a few others, so I'll bother the owner."
At this time, a fourteen and fifteen-year-old maid brought tea.
Wang Industry and Xiao Zhuren looked at each other, looking at this little loli of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it good, the aesthetics of the Qing Dynasty people are not good, but the three-inch golden lotus, let a few people glance a few more times.
The three of them showed their masters the Southeast Asian customs that seemed on the Internet, blowing spit rampantly.
Xiao Zhuren said a lot, was thirsty, took the tea bowl and drank it dry, and forgot the rule of not eating and drinking indiscriminately before coming.
That night, Zhao Shaodong's house set up a banquet, and Chen Treasurer was the companion.
The three of them looked at the table full of pure natural pollution-free food of the Qing Dynasty, which was reserved on both sides, eating, drinking and putting in the middle, and eating happily.
The three of them were still a little controlling, and the wine didn't move.
The three people's dirt buns were secretly despised.
After the banquet, the young owner went to arrange for the delivery to Hong Kong tomorrow, and at this time Chen brought a small house to find the young owner.
The three did not live in the Zhao family's shop, and were arranged to live in the Donglai Inn in the county.
There is no good inn in a small county, and the three of them are led into an upper room by the shop junior.
The room was clean, there was only a long wooden bed and a wooden table. Faced with this condition, there was no choice, so I had to make do.
The three of them gathered at the table with the kerosene lamp lit and muttered softly.
"This time, I met a rich man," Xiao Zhuren whispered.
"Yes, there are 60,000 oceans this time, white silver dollars, but the question is how do we bring it back." This will be nearly 1 and a half tons of weight," Wang Gong was slightly worried.
"Why bring it back, let him change it to antique calligraphy and painting, or jade and jadeite, then it is worth a lot of money to bring it back." Mr. Yi
said: "Yes, the eight-nation coalition army did not copy N good things when they entered Beijing, and it is said that a lot of things have flowed out of Hong Kong." If we can bring a few back, it's worth it. Xiao Zhuren's eyes lit up and said.
"Well, then, when you get to Hong Kong, don't want the ocean when you hand over, just change to these things." Mr. Yi said.
"Sleep at night to wake up, we take turns on duty, Lao Xiao first shift, I second shift, Wang Gong last, two hours to change."
Xiao Zhuren sat at the table and took a nap. The other two lay down in their clothes.
Without the noise of modern air, I soon fell asleep.
Late at night, Yi Xiaojun was awakened by the sound. When I opened my eyes, the room was dark, and under the faint starlight, several figures were quietly entering the house.
"Who!"
A shout woke up everyone in the room, and I saw a few masked people at the door, seeing that they were discovered, they stopped moving, and then waved the knife in their hands and rushed straight to the bed.
Yi Xiaojun roared, picked up the collector's edition machete beside him, and greeted it, only to see Yi Xiaojun extremely brave and fierce, performing a unique stunt - Wang Ba chaotic dancing knife technique.
The advantages of modern steel were brought into play, and 2 knives were broken in a row, and the thieves dodged one after another.
Xiao Zhuren at the table and Wang Gongye on the bed also took out their simulated pistols and shot at several thieves. The steel ball hit the door and slammed.
The first thief, seeing that it was not good, shouted "There is a gun!" It doesn't work, Flash Man! "A few masked men snatched the door.
The movement in the house woke up the people in the inn, and the lights gradually turned on. Finding that the suitcases were there, Yi Xiaojun gasped, his thighs trembled for a while, and he sat back on the bed with a machete.
The shop Xiao Er was not alarmed, and the kerosene lamp was lit at the door. "A few gentlemen are frightened, those thieves have run away, rest early." See if there's no damage to the furniture and turn around.
The light gave everyone strength, and King Xiao and the two slowly stood up from the ground. After calming down the fierce heartbeat, the three were indignant.
"black shop!"
"Damn, fortunately Lao Tzu practiced! Otherwise, it will be planted today. "
For a long time, the false alarm passed, and everything returned to calm.
Early the next morning, Chen Treasurer came to call the three people, tossed all night, and the three slept dead.
Knowing what happened last night, Chen comforted the three. Let the shop Xiao Er bring the washing water, and the three of them barely washed up.
It's a pity that there is no toothbrush, so I can only learn from the ancients to wash it with a cloth dipped in salt. "Even if there is no toothbrush and toothpaste, look at this salt is not purified enough, yellow does not pull a few." Wang Industry complained.
Gave up the breakfast that was quite satisfactory, ate military biscuits, and came to meet the young owner.
The young proprietor was filled with righteous indignation, and promised to report to the officials to arrest the thief and give an explanation to the gentlemen.
In the morning, everyone set off with the delivery team.
Land transportation in this era still relied on human and animal power.
In the south, because there are fewer mules and horses, it is mainly carried out with burdens and carts.
This time, the goods are mainly local products from Xin'an County and the surrounding area, and there are more than 30 trolleys.
Liu Guang was also pushing a truckload of goods in the team.
The convoy went to Shekou Pier to change ships, and there were already big sail wooden boats of Xianghe Business waiting for them.
The cargo was not unloaded, and the cart was directly pushed onto the ship and sailed to Hong Kong.
The three of them also took the opportunity to look around the pier carefully to see if they could find a suitable crossing point here.
Most of the merchants from Guangdong Province in the late Qing Dynasty came from Guangzhou Prefecture and the Foshan area.
By 1906 the Europeans had gradually been squeezed halfway up the hill and occupied Central.
Among them, Nanhai County maritime merchants recruited rain fields, accumulated "100 gold", established Xianghe business, painstakingly operated, gradually expanded, traversed the Nanhai Islands countries to do business and trade, and the sub-business quickly developed to "100 and dozen".
Among them, Hong Kong Kwong Maotai is the head office, as the supervisor, and the business is prosperous.
Xin'an County Xianghe Business Name Zhaodongjia - Zhaoqi, is a grandson of Zhao Yutian who has experienced training here and is responsible for the Xin'an County semicolon.
In the afternoon, the cargo ship passed by Kowloon.
By 1906, most of Kowloon was still farmland, and Tsim Sha Tsui had been transformed from a foreigner military area into a tourist area.
The military defense forces of the foreigners have been moved to the New Territories after the establishment of the new boundaries, and Mong Kok Tsui and Yau Ma Tei have formed mixed Chinese commercial and residential areas.
The area around Tai Kok Tsui was reclaimed and developed into a new area with docks as the main body, Hung Hom became a dockyard and warehouse area, and Kowloon City north of the old boundary formed an irregular Chinese commercial and residential area.
The cargo ship continued to enter Victoria Harbour, which was lined with sailboats.
At this time, Victoria Harbour was the main port for Hong Kong's import and export trade.
There was no shortage of steamships smoking black smoke in and out of the ships, the booms on the docks flipped up and down, and the barefoot coolies carried large bags back and forth, a prosperous scene.
Arriving at the terminal, the convoy disembarked and sent the goods to Guangmaotai's warehouse at the terminal.
The three of them carefully walked around the pier again, and Hong Kong was an indispensable stop for future trade.
If possible, it would be more convenient to set up a trading company in Hong Kong in the 21st century and travel directly through two times and spaces in Hong Kong.
After the handover, Zhao Qi took Yi Xiaojun and the three of them straight to the Kwong Maotai General in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, to hand over the watch.
Along the way, the three of them looked around and saw the streets of Hong Kong in 1906, which was a businessman's paradise.
The streets are very level, lined with shops and businesses, and the billboards of each business are uneven towards the pedestrians on the street.
Roadside vendors shouted continuously, and three or two beggar men in barefoot and ragged clothes could be faintly seen, as well as coachmen with straw shoes and cloaks on their heads.
Looking into the street, it is crowded and bustling. Most of them were Qing Dynasty citizens in robes and horse coats, melon-skin hats and long braids, and there were small-footed women who went in and out of shops and walked shopping.
There are also many foreigners and fake foreign devils in top hats, a few Indian Ah San patrolmen holding sticks and heavy footcloths, and the streets are noisy one after another.
However, the streets are much cleaner than in Xin'an County, which is also due to the scourge of the plague.
You have seen the movie of the October siege, and the streets at that time were really imitated according to history.
The three of them looked as they walked, constantly comparing the present with those in their memories.
Some of the original shapes of old buildings can be faintly distinguished, and the three of them are amazed by the prosperity of Hong Kong 100 years ago, which is really like in a movie.
