Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Eugene used the banner of a forged cannon to enter and leave the Shabelle Gate unhindered. The members of the National Guard did not care about the 'rubbish' inside the horse carriage.

There was not even a wooden frame on a foot of rotten oil painting. It looked just like a rag!

Dirty marble statues, carvings full of mud!

A whole cart of swords? These medieval junk can't fight or melt in the smelters outside the city!

God, there was even a Knight in full armor? He even had the full body armor of a war horse from the past?

Eugene, how long has it been since your Steel plant replenished itself? Why are all these pieces of trash kept in my own factory!

The ignorant are not guilty, of course they do not know that that foot of oil painting is the real Titian! He also didn't know that the Venus in the ancient Greece was thousands of years old!

Although the swords and armors had been withdrawn from the battlefield, these palace goods had recorded the evolution of human weapons. These swords all had a master, and every one of them could tell an ancient story.

The shortest of these pieces was at least a hundred and fifty years old. In order to continue their cooperation with the Chinese, Eugene and Andrew had given them a very good quality goods from the third carriage. They had even taken out the most valuable ones from the storehouse.

The three carts of goods were sold to Sima Yun five times the original price. It looked like a lot, but it wasn't expensive at all.

Louis XIV's full-body armor, not a single piece, cost only 16,000 francs!

The final price for Titian's work was only 3,500 francs!

This was indeed Golden Age's game of literature, the gold of troubled times! Normally, you might not even be able to buy these artifacts with money, but due to the great change in history, they were as cheap as trash!

Sima Yun was not afraid that these two would use fake goods to trick him, because he was very clear on this kind of stupid business. As long as he angered the Head of the Guards, he had ten thousand ways to make them go to hell!

As long as he revealed any information about the enemy, both his relatives would be beheaded!

Of course, there must have been some mistake in the sight of so many pawns, but that was the inevitable wear and tear in the business world!

Xiao Letian had calculated before that as long as the percentage of fake goods in these artifacts did not exceed 30%, then the final result could be considered to be a big harvest!

Most importantly, this era's cultural relics market was not as impetuous as the 21st century. Many of the fakes were not exaggerated; they were nothing more than 17th century cultural relics lying that they were from the 14th century!

The dryad's Pink color is sold to you as Kang Xi's Pink color, it is just a deceit of an eyesight. As for purely faking it in Europe, there aren't many of them!

A promissory note worth 210,000 francs caused Eugene and Andrew to go crazy. Standard Chartered, HSBC, Bank of Scotland … They are all big banks in Europe, and all of Europe recognizes that these promissory notes can be freely exchanged!

The bearded man in London had said that if a capitalist had a profit of 100%, they would take the risk. If a capitalist had a profit of 200%, they would defy the law!

With a profit of over 300%, they could trample on anything in the world!

Eugene and Andrew were in Paris City, taking advantage of the chaos in the city to play with the history of the collapse in their power, and began to eat like crazy.

A hundred francs worth of oil paintings was already considered a treasure of the Renaissance!

Selling it to the Chinese would be five hundred francs, which was five times the profit. Not only could they trample on everything in the world, they would even dare to trample on God!

Selling the cultural relics was just a way to make a fortune. The other way to make a fortune was to make a secret underground funding channel!

The besieged cash of all the capitalists in Paris had suddenly found their way to these two controlled secret conduits, and now they were out of their minds!

The first thing they did was to lend a low interest to Eugene and Andrew, and the two of them quickly started to not give any interest at all, directly asking to borrow money without any interest!

Didn't you want the money to be safe? I have a way to exchange you for a promissory note from a British bank, and you still dare to ask for interest on such good terms? Dream on!

Without any interest, these capitalists flocked over. In order to leave their money a safe retreat, they did not care about anything else.

Three days later, Eugene immediately changed his rules. Anyone who sent money over, not only would they not give any interest, Eugene would also receive a 2% service fee.

Even with the service fee, these Parisian capitalists had to resign themselves to their fate! There was still money coming into Andrew's pawnshop every day!

This created a triangular cycle in which pawnshops bought low-priced artifacts from citizens of Paris and then secretly shipped them out to the Chinese in exchange for British bank tickets.

Then these bank promissory notes will be shipped to Paris to trade in secret for cash from the Paris merchants!

With the cash, Andrew was able to collect large amounts of low-priced cultural relics. Like this, the round after round of funds began to increase by leaps and bounds!

In this financial game, the poor received the cash to survive, guaranteeing basic food and shelter!

Eugene, Andrew earned a lot of profits and started to buy other pawnshops that did not work well to increase his own businesses!

The capitalists in Paris had secured a safe way out, while the Chinese were using the price of the floor to purchase European works of art in a frenzy!

It seemed like no one had lost out, the poor, Eugene Andrew, Paris capitalists, the Chinese … All four links seemed to have paid off, but who was at a disadvantage?

After all, if everyone was making money, there would be people who would have to lose money!

Of course, it was the France, a country that lost money. The original few hundred million worth of cultural relics had been suppressed to the level of a million by this abnormal business model … This deficit could only be borne by the people!

Just as Eugene and Andrew's business was in full swing, the wind in Paris had changed dramatically. Not only did the left and right factions not take the initiative to attack, the cracks between them had intensified.

On September 15, the Central Committee of the twenty districts of Paris signed a joint circular calling on all Parisians to arm themselves against the invasion of the enemy.

He also proposed to manage all the supplies in the city, including defence, housing, food, medicine and ammunition … All resources should be pooled and distributed uniformly.

The 26 people committee were furious. They angrily denounced the Central Committee as illegal, this was a rebellion, this was a conspiracy to liberate Paris from the France!

There were a total of twenty districts in Paris, and each district had its own committees. It was precisely because these committees were elected by the citizens of the district that the working class, who had the largest number of people, had the advantage.

All twenty committees were under the control of the left. They gathered together to form a common committee, which was to stand up to the twenty-six defence governments!
