After listening to Tang Ning's description, Maxim thought for a moment and then replied: "Boss, your request is very simple. The only troublesome thing is that the material of this telescopic metal pole is relatively high, but there are four
The wheel is a very simple thing."
Then he praised: "Boss, I found that you are really a person who is born to do business. In fact, I have always felt that carrying a box when traveling far away is a very painful thing, but why didn't I think of putting wheels on it?
It’s pushing! Just wait for me, I’ll make one for you today, and then I’ll do some research to see what’s more suitable for making this telescopic pole!”
Tangning quickly stopped and said, "Just make me two wheels first. As for the telescopic rods, don't worry yet. Stevens, your main job now is to study how to mass-produce bicycles!"
"Okay boss!" Maxim nodded and agreed.
After leaving the factory, Tangning went to Brian's office, and then the two went to a familiar bank to apply for a loan for the bicycle factory.
Although the technology for mass-producing bicycles has not yet been completed, it is still possible to produce some on a small scale and sell them at high prices to rich people who are very fresh, and the business is not bad. In addition, with the development of technology, the cost is gradually decreasing.
So Brian thought that the bicycle factory could be expanded on a small scale first.
After coming out of the bank, Tangning suddenly thought of a question, so she asked Brian: "Brian, there are also British businessmen in New Orleans who specialize in lending money, right?"
Brian nodded and replied: "Yes, and the most powerful loan businessman in New Orleans now is the Englishman Vitu!"
"If this is the case, then we'd better go to him for a loan in the future!" Tang Ning murmured to herself.
Brian asked in confusion: "Our Clark family has been cooperating with Mr. Borg for many years, why do we need to borrow money from the British?"
In fact, not only the Clark family, but also the larger estate owners in New Orleans and even the Downing family often seek loans from banks or loan merchants, because the price of black slaves has now reached its peak. If you buy dozens or even hundreds of slaves at one time,
In the case of black slaves, coupled with the various investments in early cotton planting, many people were unable to get the money for a while, so they needed to borrow money for turnover, and then repay the money after the cotton was harvested, and some even directly repaid the cotton.
"If I said that if all the plantation owners in New Orleans and even the South took loans from British merchants, would it affect future wars?" Downing asked rhetorically.
In fact, what Tangning was thinking was that the reason why the British did not support the Confederate Army after the Civil War began, as the Confederate Army imagined, was partly due to concerns about public opinion and public opinion (at that time, British workers refused to ship goods transported by the Confederate Army).
), the more important reason was that Downing felt that there was a lack of motivation. If British businessmen had a large number of loans to southern manor owners, then for the sake of their own loan security, they would also interfere with Congress to provide substantial assistance to the Southern Army. However, this
It is really difficult to operate this thing. Because it is impossible for all the manor owners to borrow money from the British. No one has such great appeal.
However, Tang Ning always felt that this idea could be expanded or diverged. After all, without the help of external forces, the Southern Army alone would not be able to defeat the Northern Army, and defeat would only be a matter of time.
While Tang Ning was thinking hard, Maxi suddenly came over and said to Tang Ning mysteriously: "Tony, Hurd is holding a cocktail party tomorrow night, let's go together!"
"Hurd? In my impression, you are not very familiar with him. Why did you suddenly think of inviting you?" Tangning asked curiously.
"It's not just me, he also invited you, but I got the invitation letter for you!" After saying that, Maxi handed Tangning an invitation letter.
Tangning was even more surprised now, but before he could ask, Maxi said, "Actually, he didn't even think of you at first. I asked him for the invitation letter for you!"
"Why do you want this for me?" Tang Ning asked, dumbfounded.
"Tony, you don't know what happened at the dock market at noon today, do you?" Maxi asked without answering.
Tangning shook her head and replied, "I don't know, I haven't been there for a long time!"
"Then you really missed a good show. Today at noon, two old guys Hurd and Sterling were bidding for a female black slave. Didn't you see that the female black slave was really beautiful, let alone those two
He’s an old guy. Even I wanted to buy it back. Unfortunately, when I went there, the price had already reached 3,000.”
Although the situation Maxi mentioned is rare, it is not the first time it has happened. However, most of this situation happens to those top-quality female slaves. For slave traders, they can have two or more big customers.
Bidding is a rare good thing. Not only do you earn more, but it also improves your reputation, although it is not a good reputation for them.
At this time, Maxi said again: "But, you can see it at the cocktail party tonight, because tonight's cocktail party is actually the old Hurd showing off, especially showing off to Sterling!"
"But will Mr. Sterling go to this kind of cocktail party?" Tangning couldn't help but ask.
Maxi replied without hesitation: "Of course he won't go, but even if he doesn't go, it's impossible for him not to know that Old Hurd made the matter so big, so Old Hurd can still achieve his goal!"
"Both of them are almost a hundred years old together, why are they still acting like children!" Tang Ning shook her head and sighed.
Although Maxi described the female black slave named "Nadine" as almost the most beautiful woman in the world, Tangning really didn't take it to heart because he realized that before time travel, he had suffered from beauties from all over the world and even had plastic surgery and makeup.
After being tested and influenced by the technical means of beauty and P-pictures, what other beautiful women can make him stunning?
But when he saw Nadine with his own eyes at the reception, he was still shocked. It wasn't that she was so stunning and stunning, but it was only after seeing her that Tangning understood the meaning of "born by nature" in the novel.
"Flattery" turns out to be real
PS: I was really shocked when I saw the news that 360 boss Zhou urged to update "Lost 1629". It turns out that the big boss likes this style. Of course, I think it is because boss Zhou has not watched "Lingao Qiming", but no matter
No matter what, this is a good thing for online articles. Hey, when will I have such a powerful reader?
