Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

One hundred and ninetieth chapters Meiji Restoration (12)

There were as many as 5 sheets of paper, and the typefaces on them were all drawn with biological explosives. With a 2 catties active biological bomb, Huang Xuan was always far away from the 7 horses when he was walking, and he became a few kilometers away. ashes inside.

Mitsui Takasui looked sullen on the surface, but actually laughed in his heart. According to the promise of the British, as long as they can share the technology on the drawings, they are not only willing to pay half of the money, but also willing to sell the machinery needed by Japan at a fair price—— This solved Mitsui Takasui's biggest problem.

Of course, Paul also had his own ideas. He doubted where Huang Xuan got the drawings. Of course, this was not the Chinese's own technology, but rather a new gadget recently invented by the Germans - which caused new problems. The British, who pursue balanced diplomacy, have always been cautious about the "goodwill" between the Germans and the Chinese.

Huang Xuan put his hands behind his back, imitating his grandfather's posture, walking with square steps and swaying. Mitsui Takasui followed him half a step behind, his expression less humble and more complacent.

The warehouse near the wharf is full of prepared dried abalone, and the hundreds of meters nearby are blocked off and guarded by guards. Even in this era, the price of abalone is comparable to gold.

Huang Xuan whispered to Lorraine: "Check the weight and quality, don't waste energy, any box of abalone here is enough for you to use electricity for a few days."

"Got it." Lorraine was always reassuring.

At this time, Mitsui Kosui pointed to the box piled up with ice at the front, and said: "There are a total of 200 net abalones, and a total of 1,000 top-quality abalones and hemp abalones. The value is 260,000 taels of silver, and the two-headed abalone There are 8,000 abalones, worth 30 taels of silver, and the remaining three-headed abalones are 20,000, worth 12 taels of silver. They were originally intended to be sold in Kuala Lumpur and Tianjin, but they are all here now.”

As he spoke, he pointed to some boxes at the back, and said, "Those abalones under 4 weigh 5 catties, and the total price is 12 taels of silver. Here is a total of 80 taels of silver."

Mitsui Kosui's words were full of jokes inside and out. In his mind, Huang Xuan was probably unwilling to exchange so many abalones. After all, real money is real, tens of thousands of abalones, even exchanging money is troublesome.

In fact, because the shogunate closed the country, it was followed by a falling war. In recent years, Japan's abalone export has been limited to a standstill - this was originally their main export to the Qing Dynasty - and after all, the demand for abalone in Japan is not as much as that of the Qing Dynasty and Nanyang, so many abalones are caught. The price is saved. On the contrary, there are not many precious metal currencies in Japan. The two years of war have even emptied the inventory. If Huang Xuan hadn't agreed to exchange abalone for silver, Mitsui Takasui would not agree anyway, and he would not be able to offer 800,000 taels of silver land.

Now, for the businessmen in Osaka, they just exchanged the backlog of materials for urgently needed industrial basic resources. It can also please the British, even if the price is a little bit high, it is not unbearable.

Huang Xuan was stunned for a while. In the eyes of the Japanese, it was naturally an expression of hesitation, but he didn't know that he was actually silently settling accounts in his heart. An abalone can fetch at least 300 yuan. The price of net abalone is even higher. 1200 can be used as three-headed abalone for 4 billion yuan. They are all worth more than 50 yuan. If they can be sold, they can theoretically be worth 1.4 billion yuan...

In addition, the three-headed abalone and the four-headed abalone, after the 21st century, are also rare and well-made, and they can also be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even if they are calculated at 100,000 yuan each, the total value will exceed 200 yuan.

Add it all together, 380 yuan, which has almost exceeded the global consumption of abalone. Of course, this is not the problem. If you can’t sell it out in one year, you can sell it in two years. If you can’t sell it out in two years, you can sell it in three years. You can still eat abalone with rice every day , Thinking about it, I feel that this life sucks.

Huang Xuan felt very strange now, and when he looked at Mitsui Takasui again, he always had a smile on his face.

I really can't bear to blow up such a considerate little Japan.

If Huang Xuan hadn't been concerned about the benefits of Neng Dun, Huang Xuan really wanted to snatch the abalone on the pier just like that, it would be more than 4 billion US dollars, which is about the same as the market value of the Sifang Group.

"Nick, send a message to Lu Min. I want a 100-jin active biological bomb." After he became rich, his pursuit changed again.

"No problem." Nick liked Huang Xuan the most and sent him a mission.

Rubbing his hands together, Huang Xuan smiled and said to Mitsui Kosui: "It's all integers, it's quite a lot."

"These few

All the abalones kept in Osaka are here. "If Yataro Iwasaki is standing next to him, if he still has money, there will be more when we conquer Edo."

"That's good, that's good..." Huang Xuan actually called it a waste in his heart. He was planning to go to Edo again, but it might not be easy to collect so many abalones again.

Pretending to rummage through the pile of ice, Huang Xuan stood up holding his nose, and said, "Check the blueprints you brought this time first, and if there's nothing wrong, I'll give you the rest of the blueprints in a few days. Then load the abalone on the ship, it will be considered as money and goods.”

Mitsui Takasui tried his best not to let the surprise overflow. He would never accept a bunch of abalones as silver, not to mention not discounting them at all.

While speaking, Nick replied: "Lu Min has received the message, and the biological bomb will be delivered soon." Unlike Lorraine, Nick often uses vague particles such as soon.

Huang Xuan took another look at the abalone worth tens of millions behind him, got up and walked to Mitsui Takasui, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Mitsui, I have prepared the design of the rifle, as long as I persist, I will hand it over to you. "

Mitsui glanced at him, nodded lightly, and said, "I believe in Master Huang's promise, and I'm also glad that Master Li can come to our country to express his condolences."

"That's good." Huang Xuan said haha, and reluctantly passed by the abalone pile. He couldn't give the Japanese a complete map right now. On the one hand, it would take time to identify it. On the other hand, it would prevent them from getting the things. He turned his face and refused to admit it.

Impatiently, Paul signaled Mitsui to send the drawings to the small room for appraisal. He stayed by Huang Xuan's side and said in English, "How long is Mr. Huang going to stay in Japan?"

"It's always going to be months and not more time on the ship than on land."

Paul thought so deeply, and when he heard Huang Xuan's London voice, he immediately became cordial, and smiled when talking to him. Mitsui and the others looked at the two foreigners without knowing the so-called, but didn't understand how the two met their eyes.

Taking advantage of the noon time, Huang Xuan walked around the vicinity of Osaka Castle, including the steel factory selected by Mitsui, which also had the standard of 500 meters and 50g biological bombs. They buried most of the city completely, and almost left the rest of the city. The biological bombs were all used up. .

If it really explodes, the fire it may cause will be worse than the Tokyo Earthquake.

...

On the fifth day, Huang Xuan woke up early, but when he came out of the room, Mitsui Takasui and Iwasaki Yataro were already waiting outside.

The design drawing of the rifle is not only easy to make, but also easy to identify. The British decided to buy it with foreign currency. Mitsui felt that this might be the most cost-effective deal he had done besides participating in the restoration.

Huang Xuan opened his eyes and thought of abalone. He knew that the Japanese still had a lot of them. For example, it was 0.7 abalone bigger than one abalone, maybe 0.5 abalone: ​​_Interesting, after the new millennium, there are 4 net abalones in the market It is almost extinct. As far as the market is concerned, two-headed abalone and 0.5-headed abalone are actually the same. How many people can afford tens of millions to buy? If you really think about it, it's not much for a two-pound abalone to sell for 5,000, but in fact, Huang Xuan felt that if he didn't want to collect it himself, 500 would be safer—it was like lowering the price on the market for no reason .

So, instead of bringing back a bunch of big abalones to make rice for yourself, it's better to just do it like this.

"Go to the pier. Those abalones are not shipped." Huang Xuan has a temper that does not suffer, and he opened the door of the cabinet indiscriminately. Kaoru Inoue was buried in the drawing again. Huang Xuan shrugged and said: "These are the rest The blueprint for the rifle is gone, but the blueprint for the steel factory is not here."

"No ship." Inoue Xin carefully crawled out of the pile of drawings, as if besieged by a group of shit, he still had time to smile and said: "You said that you can't ship until you go , we were all placed on the pier without moving.”

"That's good." Huang Xuan took two deep breaths. There was still a biological bomb under his feet. Thinking about it, he was still a little nervous.

Mitsui Takasui and Iwasaki Yataro followed one after the other, and the latter hesitated and said, "Master Huang, the Changzhou Army will set off early tomorrow morning, the blueprint of the small steamer?"

"When we get to the place, I'll give you a piece." Huang Xuan rented a warehouse near the pier two days ago, or there was really no place to put the many drawings. .
