After Liu Hai's fleet sent a telegram to the imperial court in Fuzhou, it set sail again and headed for Shanghai.
When Liu Hai's fleet arrived at Wusongkou in Shanghai, the current Nanyang Navy Admiral Li Chengmou was already waiting there.
This time Liu Hai went south, although there was no record of success, he still maintained the national system in the negotiations with Portugal. This was a rare victory in foreign negotiations in the past few years.
Li Chengmou also understood in his heart that with this merit and the help of his father-in-law, it seemed that his position would be abdicated in favor of Liu Hai.
Liu Hai parked the warship on the pier, and then took the leaders and officers from the three warships to salute Li Chengmou who was waiting on the pier.
And Li Chengmou did not have any arrogance. He expressed condolences to these officers who had returned from victory one by one. When it was Liu Hai's turn, he grabbed Liu Hai's hand and shook it tightly, and then just said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Although it is a short sentence, it contains a thousand words. If it were not for Liu Hai's tough attitude this time, facing the British Governor of Hong Kong and the Portuguese Governor of Macau, those officials of the Qing Dynasty would have withered long ago.
"It's not hard to work for the imperial court." Liu Hai replied, which was not a big mistake, because the Qing court now pays great attention to rumors and reports. It would be very unlucky if others got the handle because of what you said.
When everyone returned to the Nanyang Navy Yamen, Li Chengmou immediately announced the imperial court's rewards for those who had meritorious service during this trip south.
But most of them were verbal praise, which meant Liu Hai was given the title "Fighting Batulu".
Then Liu Hai handed the contract signed with the Portuguese people to Li Chengmou again. Li Chengmou opened it and looked at it, then nodded and said to Liu Hai: "Thank you for your hard work this time, I will send the contract to you immediately."
In the capital, we will have nothing to do next, and it will be time for the officials and the Portuguese to have the final fight."
Liu Hai also nodded. This kind of thing will next be a matter for the civil servants. It is better for military generals like them not to get involved anymore. If they get involved too much, they may not be able to make good money in the end, but will cause a lot of trouble.
Liu Hai returned to his home that day, and naturally he and his wife Zeng Yuying were affectionate for a while, and then the entire Nanyang Navy fell into calm again.
As for the Nanyang Navy, nothing happened, and the captains under them started doing business again.
These people take advantage of the opportunity of patrolling to help the merchants carry goods when they go, and they don't leave empty when they come back. They can earn a lot from the freight alone. If they have some money, they can bring something with them.
Then you can make a lot of money.
Because of this, these generals of the Nanyang Navy do not focus their main energy on training, but now they only focus on making money.
But it’s no wonder, how can they raise warships and soldiers if they don’t have money? And now the imperial court is focusing its main energy on the Beiyang Navy.
The Nanyang Navy, Fujian Navy, and Guangzhou Navy are all raised by stepmothers. If they don't find some way on their own, they may all starve to death in the end.
It is precisely because of this that those who served as officials turned a blind eye even though they knew that the discipline of the Nanyang Navy was lax and they often did private work.
When Liu Hai came here, he naturally couldn't do this, because after Liu Hai came back, he had already received a hint from Zeng Guofan's letter.
It seems that Li Chengmou, the current admiral of the Nanyang Navy, is about to be transferred. Zeng Guoquan has already taken care of him. It seems that the results will be available by the end of the year and the beginning of spring. Therefore, he is asked to be careful during this period and pay close attention to the army.
Don't let those officials get the hang of it when the time comes, and the duck that has already been obtained will fly away again.
Because of this, Liu Hai did not relax just because the war calmed down. Instead, he took the Jiangsu armored cruiser out to sea almost every few days, either for training or patrolling.
At the beginning, Liu Hai didn't pay much attention to it, but just over a month later, Liu Yu, the cyborg mate under his command, came over to report to Liu Hai that all the training bombs had been used due to excessive training during this period.
, even the money to buy coal is not enough.
Liu Hai scratched his head after hearing this. Liu Hai is not without money now, but he doesn't want to invest all the money in the Qing Dynasty plane. He has the idea of buying a few warships in the modern plane as his own bottom line.
What's the matter?
In the end, after Liu Hai sent Liu Yu away, he thought about it for a long time in his study and finally decided to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
There are a lot of good things in modern times. If you take one or two of them and sell them in the Qing Dynasty, you can make a huge profit no matter what.
Now that I have made up my mind to do business between the modern and Qing Dynasty planes, the first question is what to sell.
Bangs, he lost a lot of hair because of this incident, and finally he came up with a good idea, which was to sell medicines.
You see, in modern society, because foreign companies control patent rights, the drugs sold in China cost only one or two yuan, but they dare to sell them for tens of thousands of yuan.
This kind of thing is often circulated on TV and the Internet, because people who cannot afford medicine can only wait to die at home. The movie "The God of Medicine" reflects this outstanding problem.
Since you foreigners can make money from the Chinese, I won't be polite. I'm going to make a lot of money from your ancestors this time. It's best to empty out all your money.
After Liu Hai made up his mind, he sent someone to contact Matt Grimes of Mobil Oil and asked him if this batch of oil had arrived.
Matt Grimes had actually transported the oil to Shanghai a long time ago, but during this period, Liu Hai was either going south to Macau or training troops at sea, and did not discuss oil matters with him.
So this person is now an ant in the hot pot. If he doesn't sell this batch of oil, he will be punished by the headquarters for hoarding so much goods, plus shipping costs.
Today, as soon as Matt Grimes came to the office, he received a report from someone below that Liu Hai, deputy admiral of the Nanyang Navy, sent someone to ask if the oil was ready.
When Matt Grimes heard the news, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He hurriedly went to Liu Hai's house in person to discuss the handover of oil with him.
The two of them have dealt with each other several times, and both sides are very satisfied with each other's integrity.
Therefore, according to the previous agreement, the two parties conducted the transaction in the warehouse in Liu Hai, Shanghai.
After receiving the oil, Liu Hai arranged things at home, greeted his subordinates in the army, and immediately activated the space ring and traveled back to modern society.
After Liu Hai came back, he called the President of Madagascar to inform him that he had returned to Madagascar.
After the president received the news of Liu Hai's return, he immediately went to Liu Hai's villa in person to report to Liu Hai the situation in Madagascar during this period.
Not to mention, since Liu Hai became the presidential advisor of Madagascar, Xia Guo's investment and support for Madagascar has increased, so Madagascar's income has increased to a certain extent during this period.
Liu Hai's team was quite satisfied with the current situation. After sending the president away, Liu Hai contacted Zhang Tao again and then sold the oil in his hands.
This time Liu Hai sold a total of 2 million barrels of oil, earning a total profit of US$100 million. Adding the price Liu Hai received from the last gold transaction, Liu Hai now has US$300 million in his Xia Guo Bank account.
Next, Liu Hai began to look through the drug catalog in his villa to see what kind of medicine should be sold to the Qing Dynasty plane?
As a result, after searching around on the Internet, Liu Hai actually discovered a medicine.
This drug was widely used in the 1970s and 1980s, and its name is very close to the common people. It is - Antibacterial Excellent.
Maybe friends today don’t know this drug, but in fact, this drug is the famous sulfonamide, which is also the first antibacterial drug in the world.
This drug was originally a dye. In 1932, colleagues Mesch and Clara in Dumac's laboratory synthesized a dye called Prontosil red.
In 1936, the London Hospital used Bailangduoxi to save 35 of 38 women suffering from postpartum sepsis, fully demonstrating the miraculous efficacy of the drug.
From then on, people had a certain understanding of the drug, and it was not until 1942 that large-scale production began for human treatment.
If this magical medicine were transported to the Qing Dynasty, it would be a huge profit and could be exchanged for equivalent gold.
Besides, Liu Hai now has a certain foundation in the Qing Dynasty. If he becomes the admiral of the Nanyang Navy, he will be the apparent successor to the Hunan Army.
With this status, as long as he doesn't rebel, no matter how much money he makes, no one will dare to pay attention to him.
Next, Liu Hai began to collect information about sulfa on the Internet and contacted the seller.
As a result, I discovered that sulfonamide drugs are so cheap now. He doesn’t sell them by the bottle, but by the kilogram.
The cheapest sulfonamide drugs are only 50 yuan per kilogram, and the expensive ones are only 178 yuan.
If this had been shipped to the Qing Dynasty and repackaged, it would have sold for 10,000 times the price.
This is more profitable than anything else. Didn’t Marx say something like this: If capital has 50% profit, it will take desperate risks. If it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world. If there is 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world.
With a profit of three hundred, it dares to commit any crime, even risking being hanged. Of course, it doesn't mind hanging others.
Now Liu Hai is facing a profit of more than 10,000 times, and his eyes are a little red now.
As long as this business is completed, he will be able to monopolize the antibiotic sulfa in the Qing Dynasty for decades.
At that time, everyone in the world will be begging for him, and I am afraid that he will become the richest man in the world in a short time. As for the money to support the army, it will naturally be considered a drizzle.
