Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1512, The Persian Gulf is a good place
"Stinky boy, stinky boy, do you want to share some rubber with me?"

"If you don't give it, I will go directly to your house and hang on. I will eat, drink, and scatter at your house."

In a small room next to the Shang's study in the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Mao was playing a rogue, and forced Liu Jin to give him part of the rubber.

"Mr. Zhang, the current output of this rubber is pitifully small. I don't even have enough for myself. How can I share it with you?"

Liu Jin was very helpless.

I am a dignified minister of the official department, and I have no dignity at all in front of Zhang Mao. I say "stinky boy" on the left and "stinky boy" on the right. This is playing a rogue, and he even wants to go to his own house to eat and drink. , Is this still Daming's dignified British prince?

As for rubber, the rubber in Liu Jin's own plantation has only started to produce rubber for a year or two, and the output is very limited, and now it is barely enough to supply the industries under his command.

Next, if the production capacity of the bicycle factory is expanded on a large scale and some related products are developed, the production capacity of this rubber will be even lower, and some will be allocated to Zhang Mao, and he will stop playing.

"Then I don't care. If you don't agree to give me some rubber, I'll depend on you."

"Who told you that you didn't want me to take a share in the Mercedes-Benz bicycle factory. Later, when I saw the bicycle fire, I opened a bicycle factory by myself, and I poured millions of taels into it. Without rubber, there is no way to produce tires. , My several million taels of silver will go to waste.”

Zhang Mao looked like a rascal, and was very sad to let Liu Jin forget his investment in the bicycle factory.

"This is several million taels of silver. If it is tens of thousands of taels of silver, I won't even frown."

"I can't live without rubber."

"Mr. Zhang, you can't blame me for this. At that time, you didn't like this bicycle. You thought it was not as comfortable as a four-wheeled carriage, and it was not as heavy as its carrying capacity, so you didn't invest in it."

"Now it's my fault instead."

"Besides, it's just a few million taels of silver, and your family is not short of that little silver."

Liu Jin wanted to laugh in his heart. This old Zhang, a thief, a thief, was not optimistic about bicycles at first, but now that bicycles are on fire and the business is extremely hot, he immediately regretted that his intestines were green and regretted not investing in shares. Mercedes-Benz bicycle factory.

"It's bad, it's bad, the poor are almost out of control now, if these millions of taels of silver are going to go to waste, I will go to your house every day to eat these millions of taels of silver back."

Zhang Mao continued to play rogue, and at this time the two were waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to summon him to discuss state affairs in the Minister's Study Room, and as usual, they habitually went to the small room next to them to chat about things.

"It's a pity that I introduced you to a daughter-in-law and acted as your matchmaker. This time, I hugged two beauties at once. Now it's a good thing, but I'm so ungrateful. I can't even get some rubber."

Seeing that Liu Jin still refused to agree, Zhang Mao could only continue to make moves, bringing up the fact that he was a matchmaker for Liu Jin.

"Okay, okay~"

"I'll just give you some rubber, but not too much, and it will be calculated according to the market price."

"Oh, I really can't help it. The debt owed by marrying a wife will probably be paid off in a lifetime."

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao, and immediately said helplessly.

If Zhang Mao didn't give some of this rubber, he might have to sleep in the study when he got home.

"Enough for my bicycle factory."

"Hey, don't think I don't know, you guys have already started planning many years ago. There are several million acres of rubber plantations in Nanyang, and the production of these rubbers will start to increase by next year. And in the past few years, Every year you let the Nanyang Agricultural Commercial Bank under your command plant rubber on a large scale, and you must have excess rubber."

Seeing that Liu Jin agreed to share some of the rubber with him, Zhang Mao immediately beamed with joy, and then asked with a sneaky smile, "Boy, how much did you earn from this wave of rubber?"

"Not much. I use all the rubber myself. How can I earn any money?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao, and hurriedly said vaguely.

"I'm talking about selling rubber saplings, rubber saplings worth five taels of silver, brat, your heart is dark, how much money did you earn?"

"Stinky boy, it seems that I am going to introduce you to some more beauties, and I will not be taken to any big business that makes money."

Zhang Mao had an expression of ghost believing in you. You haven't made any money yet, but you are the best at making money.

"Don't, don't~ The house is strictly controlled, I don't want to go back to sleep on the sofa."

"I didn't make much money this time. The rubber saplings are too expensive to sell, and there aren't many people who bought them, so I probably made less than [-] million taels."

Liu Jin raised two fingers and said in a low voice.

Of course, Liu Jin didn't tell the truth. Liu Jin made a lot of money selling rubber saplings this time. Twenty million taels is just the tail of the real figure.

In fact, this time, just selling rubber saplings, Liu Jin's Nanyang Agricultural Commercial Bank earned [-] million taels of silver, a huge profit.

"Only twenty million taels?"

Zhang Mao didn't believe it, this number was much less than what he estimated.

"Yes, as many as you want, or how many do you think there are?"

Liu Jin replied helplessly.

"Just selling a sapling and earning [-] million taels of silver is enough. It's such a big business, and you don't take me with you. It seems that I will go to your house and talk to your two wives about your salary. Regarding the matter of concubines, after all, no matter how big the family is, they should spread out more branches and leaves, and have more children and grandchildren. Only two wives are not enough."

Zhang Mao glanced at Liu Jin, took a sip of tea and said.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang~"

"I told you about the rubber a long time ago. At that time, you said that it would take seven or eight years for the rubber to be tapped, and I didn't know what it would be useful for. It might as well grow sugar cane quickly."

"This is what you don't want to get rich, but it's not that I don't take you."

Liu Jin was in a hurry, the two women were already tired enough to take concubines, and they would not be eaten alive in the future.

"Then I don't care, you can figure it out, anyway, you kid will not take me with you if you have something good to do now."

Zhang Maocai didn't bother to pay attention, and continued: "After the court, I will take my wife to sit at your house, and I will talk to Duke Ding about this matter later."

"Mr. Zhang, I really can't do anything about you."

"Let me tell you a good place. Don't say I didn't tell you in advance this time. Don't blame me for not bringing you when the time comes. It's up to you whether you can grasp it."

Facing Zhang Mao's powerful offensive, Liu Jin could only admit defeat, and said quietly after thinking about it.

"Good place?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a playful smile, "What a good place? Tell me quickly, and I'll ask people to buy them all later."

"Persian Gulf~"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao, a little speechless, the speed of changing his face was too fast.

"Persian Gulf?"

"Is the Persian Gulf a good place?"

As soon as Zhang Mao heard it, he couldn't help crying out, his voice was much louder.

And just happened to be heard by Li Dongyang who was passing by outside.

"Is the Persian Gulf a good place?"

After Li Dongyang heard this, he immediately thought about it.

If ordinary people hear about the Persian Gulf, they may have to think carefully about where the Persian Gulf is, but Li Dongyang doesn't need it, because his stepson Li Zhaofan chose to establish his own colony here in the Persian Gulf, so he has no doubts about the situation in the Persian Gulf. I couldn't be more familiar with it.

He was very opposed to Li Zhaofan going to the Persian Gulf to establish a colony, because the Persian Gulf is full of deserts, and except for the water in the Mesopotamia, the water shortage in other places is very severe.

Except for a few oases, all of them are vast deserts. If you want gold, there is no gold, and if you want silver, there is no silver. There are even very few people who can be slaves.

Now the Li family's colony, except for selling some pearls, seems to have no return, and it can only do some slave trading business.

What kind of place could this place be?

But who is Liu Jin? He is Daming's God of Wealth.

Since Liu Jin started playing with briquettes, every business Liu Jin has done has been very successful. As early as a few years ago, he had already started to lay out rubber. Now that rubber has skyrocketed, he has made a lot of money selling saplings.

Where is he and Zhang Mao plotting some big money-making business now, it must be a big money-making business.

Since he said that the Persian Gulf is a good place, there must be some big money-making deals that people don't know about. Most of them are valuable things that people don't know about.

Thinking of this, Li Dongyang's eyes light up slightly.

"Zhaofan is lucky this time. If there is really something valuable in the Persian Gulf, our family will occupy a colony in the Persian Gulf first, and we will be one step ahead of others, and we will definitely be able to benefit greatly by then. "

A smile appeared on Li Dongyang's face all of a sudden.

Originally, he was not optimistic about the colonies in the Persian Gulf, but now it seems that he might have been lucky, so he knocked on the door and walked in, then asked Liu Jin, "Liu Jin, what good things are there in the Persian Gulf?"

Seeing Li Dongyang coming in and hearing his question, Zhang Mao said nervously, "I said, Li Dongyang, why have you learned to be a gentleman on Liang, and even eavesdropped on someone's speech?"

"I didn't eavesdrop. When you just spoke, your voice was a little louder. I just passed by here and heard it."

"Liu Jin, what good things are there in the Persian Gulf?"

"Tell me quickly, my family has a colony on the Persian Gulf, but it has been losing money all the time, and it seems that even my coffin is going to be lost."

Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jin and asked eagerly.

"Ahem, this is a secret. I can only say that the Persian Gulf is definitely a good place. As long as you occupy some of it, future generations will never have to worry about it."

Liu Jin looked at Li Dongyang and Zhang Mao, and continued to talk about it.
