Chapter 1000 Look at your face with peach blossoms
Originally, it was said that they were just out for a snack, and everyone had nothing to do to compare notes. Although the fat man opened a gambling bureau, his original intention was just to have fun, to bet for fun, and to bring some winnings for everyone to have fun.
Unexpectedly, the bet suddenly rose to ten thousand taels of gold. This was not a small bet, but a big bet!
Grand Duke Gavsky came to Mojie, firstly to congratulate Wanyanhong on his birthday, and secondly to buy silk and satin porcelain, so he brought a large amount of gold with him.
In this kind of international trade, gold will always be hard currency.
He said that since he came to buy silk porcelain, why didn't he go to the trade market in Longjiang City?
Don't forget that Ross and Yanyun are currently in a hostile state. The relationship between the two parties has just ended. The war is very tense. As a grand duke, Gavsky cannot go to Longjiang to buy things, and he dare not go.
So he could only ask Mojie to help him buy it, and he was waiting for the handover in Jiling City. Although the price was definitely much higher, it was safe.
The main reason is that Chinese porcelain and silk are so exquisite that the Russians like them very much. When Shunfeng Port was in their hands, they could still buy them through some smuggling channels.
After Xiao Chen arrived, he established a "good" relationship with Governor Peter, rented Sunny Port, and trade became smoother. A large amount of high-end Chinese goods flowed into Russia, which gave the people of Russia a great benefit.
Although the price is ridiculously high due to various reasons, demand still exceeds supply in Russia.
But since Xiao Chen regained Shunfeng Port, the two companies have also cut off their trade ties. No matter how high the price is, you can't buy anything from China.
Although Gavsky is an archduke, he is very business-savvy. Since normal channels cannot purchase goods from Dazhou, can we use Mojie as a middleman to make a turnover?
Of course, the Capricorns readily agreed. This was a good business that came to their doorstep with no capital and huge profits. Anyone who doesn’t do it would be a fool! So after the discussion, they hit it off.
This incident once shocked Wen Chengxu. Why is the demand for goods from the Mojie tribe so great this year?
You were quite poor two years ago. Why did you suddenly become rich overnight? You can't. I haven't heard of any gold or silver mines being dug up in your territory.
After drinking a lot of wine, the officials from Mojie's side told the truth. Wen Chengxu felt that the matter was quite serious, so he quickly sent someone to report to Mr. Chen Jisheng, asking for instructions on what to do?
The old man said it’s useless to ask for instructions. Just do what you have to do. People are spending money to buy things. How can you not sell them?
Besides, Mojiu came to buy this from us. Does it have anything to do with the Russians?
You Wen Chengxu is already a high-ranking official, how come you can't even pretend to be confused? However, the quantity they purchased is too large, and it is difficult for us to prepare everything in a short time, so...
Wen Chengxu understood immediately, so if you are in a hurry to get the goods, the price may be higher because the cargo ships at our port are very tight. If you want to rush, you will have to increase the price. If you don't, you will have to wait.
How long to wait? It’s hard to say. With so many goods ready and shipped, why doesn’t it take a year?
Official Mojie knew full well that Wen Chengxu was up to no good, but he told him the truth after drinking, and it was too late to regret it. Anyway, the price increase was imposed by the Russians, and it had nothing to do with us. We just made a profit. Besides, Wen Chengxu
Xu just wanted to directly tell him to give him benefits and dividends...
Gavsky likes Chinese goods very much, but he hates Chinese people. We have been operating in Shunfeng Port Sands City for so many years. We have spent so much money, material and manpower on infrastructure construction alone, but you just take it away and enjoy it.
Is it true?
This is banditry!
Our respected Queen will settle accounts with you sooner or later. When that day comes, I, Gavsky, will definitely take the initiative to volunteer and go into battle. Not only will we regain the Sands City of Shunfeng Port, but we will also wipe out all of your Yanyun County! If you don’t believe it, we will
We'll see...
So when he saw the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was furious. When he saw Xiao Chen, he was even more angry. If he hadn't caused trouble in Wanyanhong's palace, he would have just pulled out his musket and fought with Xiao Chen.
Chen duels!
You know, we, Gavsky, are also tough guys.
I just heard Mo Jie generals flattering Xiao Ye at the next table, and I was already disapproving of it. From what they said, Xiao Ye's kid was Xiao Chen's younger brother. Haha, these guys
It must be because of Xiao Chen that you praise him so much!
Why is this skinny kid going to fight when he can be blown away by a gust of wind? I, Gavsky, am not talented, I can stab him to death with one finger, and several of my strong men can kill him with just one fart.
He collapsed.
So when the big guys came out to compete, he followed them out silently, thinking of giving Xiao Ye and others a good look.
When I heard the fat man say that he wanted to gamble, he naturally placed a big bet without hesitation. Today, you Chinese bad guys will be embarrassed and lose their gold!
Since so many people were willing to guarantee it, Gavsky had no scruples and immediately asked to sign a contract with Guan Qiji!
After all, this is 10,000 taels of gold, not a small amount. If you don’t sign the contract, it will be unfounded. Who knows whether these Chinese people will be cheating?
They will cheat, and this fat man doesn't look like a good person. When the fat man hears "wtf", do you not believe in my strength?
Okay, it's up to you. If you sign the contract, you have to sign it, and you have to put your fingerprints on it when you sign it. I'm so damn afraid that you'll default on it!
Then this is a serious gamble, so the rules must be made clear. The contest of strength is a contest of strength, but you also have to say how the contest is going to be, and it must be absolutely fair.
Gavsky proposed two events. The first is weightlifting. Whoever lifts the heavier weight will win. There is no dispute about this, and it cannot be faked at all.
The second is wrestling, which can also be said to be wrestling or sumo wrestling. Draw a circle and two people fight in the circle. In theory, they can use various moves and means. As long as one party gets out of the circle, he loses!
Of course, this is all a bare-handed fight and no weapons can be used.
What Gavsky said made sense, and the rules were fair. Everyone involved in the bet agreed, and Fatty naturally agreed. Before he started, he clasped his fists and handed over his hands, expressing the highest respect to his friends who had not bet on Xiao Chen.
Thanks!
Everyone doesn’t know where he started to express his gratitude? But they will soon know...
"Is it true that they bet so much gold?" Shangguan Wuji's eyes were dizzy and his voice was shaking when he spoke, "Are you kidding?"
"Are you kidding me? We have already signed a contract and pledged money. Besides, we are all people with status. How can we regret it because of such a small amount of gold?" Ren Pijiang sounded like a kid from a rich family.
"Oh my God, this is just twenty thousand taels of gold, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! Don't you feel bad that they lost in vain?"
Of course Shangguan Wuji knew that Xiao Ye would win, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for Gavsky and others. It wasn't that he was in pain, but that he was trembling. I relied on hundreds of thousands of taels of silver...
