Chapter 50 Buying an Official

Liu Hai called Zhang Tao again the next day, and then together they went to the combat readiness warehouse that Zhang Tao had promised.

This warehouse was built during the Third Front. It went from City T to the mountains. Along the way, we passed several sentries before finally arriving inside the warehouse.

Liu Hai took a look and saw that this warehouse had completely opened up the mountain, extending in all directions inside the warehouse. Its scale was so huge that it completely exceeded people's imagination.

In Liu Hai's opinion, as long as the warehouse door is blocked, it will be a nuclear weapon, and there is nothing that can be done about the warehouse.

"Mr. Liu, are you satisfied? From now on, all our supplies will be traded here."

Liu Hai nodded without saying anything. After a while, he walked to a huge hollow. Liu Hai looked up and down. After nodding, he placed the oil traded this time in the warehouse through the time and space ring.

When Zhang Tao saw this magical scene from the side, his eyes were full of excitement. In the past, they only analyzed through intelligence that Liu Hai might have the ability to travel through time and space, but now they saw it with their own eyes and realized how shocking it was.

"This is the oil this time, a total of 2 million barrels."

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, the US$100 million in funds will be transferred to Mr. Liu's account soon."

Although the two sides have not broken it up yet, they have already reached a tacit understanding.

After Liu Hai returned to his company, he no longer wanted to stay in the current plane. He now wanted to return to the safe Qing Dynasty plane, where he could comfort his injured soul.

So that night, he explained to Wang Fang, and in the name of going abroad, he once again left modern times and returned to the Qing Dynasty with the Compound Xinoximing Tablets.

As soon as Liu Hai returned to the opposite side of the Qing Dynasty, he was caught by Zeng Yuying in front of his horse.

It turned out that during the time Liu Hai left, the efficacy of the panacea was spread so miraculously that not only domestic merchants came to Shanghai to buy the panacea, but also businessmen from all over the world gathered in Shanghai.

It didn't take long for this batch of 100 kilograms of panacea to be sold out, so these people naturally had nowhere to buy it.

However, they did not think that the panacea was gone. Instead, they thought that the Neptune Trading Company was hoarding, so they went their separate ways.

Not to mention, these businessmen are really powerful. All kinds of big shots send telegrams to Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang, every three days.

Among them is Prince Gong Yixin. This Prince Gong Yixin is getting older and his health is getting worse. He is now more energetic than before in collecting various miraculous medicines.

Last time, I heard that the panacea was very effective, and Cixi also sent the palace eunuch to purchase it. This made him think about it. As a result, he sent someone to take a look and found that all the medicine was sold out. This made Prince Gong Yixin

I feel unhappy. Is there anything I can’t buy in this Qing Dynasty?

So Prince Gong Yixin sent several telegrams to Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang, just to ask him to find a way to get a few bottles of panacea to keep at his side for later use.

Zeng Guoquan looked at the telegram in his hand and scratched his head a little. He also had a few bottles of Panacea in his hand, which were all given to him by Zeng Yuying. The last time he had a cold, if he had taken traditional Chinese medicine as usual, he would have stayed in bed for at least ten days.

It took half a month, but once I took this panacea, I was fine in three days.

By this time, Zeng Guoquan understood that this panacea was a life-saving medicine.

But now he really can't take it out. All the bottles in his hand have been sent to Li Lianying.

From now on, I can only send a telegram to Prince Gong to tell him that the medicine is really gone. Who knows that this time Prince Gong is not happy and sends another telegram.

That means: Let your son-in-law earn less, and don't continue to hoard without conscience.

At this time, no matter what happened, he still had to get a few bottles of medicine for Prince Gong, so he hurriedly sent his family to take a boat to Shanghai overnight and asked his daughter to get a few bottles of medicine for Prince Gong.

As a result, his daughter Zeng Yuying gave her father a slap in the face. All the medicines were sold out, and even the spare ones left at home were sold. There was really no more medicine.

While everyone was anxious, Liu Hai finally returned to the Qing Dynasty. This time, he brought a ton of goods with him and wanted to make a lot of money in the Qing Dynasty.

Zeng Yuying was ecstatic about Liu Hai's return. During this period, she was annoyed by people from all walks of life.

That night, the news spread out somehow, and everyone knew that Liu Hai had returned to Shanghai with the goods.

As a result, when Neptune Trading Company just opened the next day, hundreds of people had gathered in front of the door, all waiting to get goods.

But Liu Hai just came back last night, and the medicine hasn't been packaged yet. Where can I get the goods for them?

But these people didn't believe it, so they all gathered at the door of the trading company to help drum up the goods. They all said they wouldn't leave if they couldn't get the goods today.

As the shopkeeper, Feng Tao couldn't offend these customers. He could only send someone back to his house to report to their lady.

And Zeng Yuying has just gotten up now. Every time Liu Haizhong comes back, Zeng Yuying will get up very late the next day. This has become an established rule. When the master comes back from outside, he is not allowed to disturb his wife the next morning.

Otherwise, you will be in the queue for a while.

Zeng Yuying was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the maid comb her hair. While looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she asked the maid behind her: "What have you done, Master?"

"As far as I can tell you, Madam, it seems that I went to the Navy Yamen very early in the morning."

Zeng Yuying is very satisfied with Liu Hai's diligence. This is how a man should work hard for his career outside.

Just as the maids were asking Zeng Yuying if she wanted to serve food, a woman outside came over in a hurry to report.

Zeng Yuying took a look and saw that it was her nanny. Seeing how anxious she was, she knew something was wrong with Feng Tao.

Sure enough, the nanny was furious when she saw Zeng Yuying and told Zeng Yuying what happened in the morning.

After Zeng Yuying heard that there were so many customers in the shop, she immediately became energetic. These people were all sending money, so they must not be neglected.

So Zeng Yuying stopped eating and sent someone to the shop to ask Feng Tao to comfort the customers and tell them that the goods would be arriving soon.

On the other hand, she gathered all the maids and women in the family, went to the small courtyard specially used for packaging medicines, and immediately started to pack as many medicines as possible to reduce the pressure on the store.

The customers at the shop were noisy until noon, when the first batch of 1,000 bottles of panacea was delivered.

These people who had been waiting all morning were already upset. Now when they saw the medicines arriving, they immediately swarmed up, waved their banknotes in their hands, and began to snatch the medicines that had just been delivered.

Although Feng Tao tried his best to maintain order, in the end he was unable to do anything and the first batch of medicine was quickly snatched away.

However, these people were all respectable after all. Although they robbed the medicine, they threw all the money on the counter. In the end, Feng Tao calculated it and not only did he not lose money, but he made hundreds of taels more.

From this day on, the world's attention has focused on the Neptune Trading Company in the Shanghai Concession, because this company has a panacea that can cure all diseases.

If ordinary people were selling such a panacea, they would have been eaten up by the nobles long ago.

Fortunately, Liu Hai also has a backing. His father-in-law is Zeng Guoquan and his uncle is Liu Kunyi, both of whom are big bosses in the Hunan Army.

In today's Qing Dynasty, no one can really surpass them and cause bangs to break.

In order to maintain its absolute control in the sulfonamide field without losing its profits, Liu Hai announced to the world that it could only produce 1 million flat bottles of panacea every month.

Under pressure from all aspects, Liu Hai also had to lower the price of the panacea. The price dropped from the original five taels of silver per bottle to one tael of silver per bottle. This calmed the pressure from all aspects around the world.

If the price of bangs does not drop, those Western powers will secretly be hypocritical and directly send troops to grab the formula for the panacea.

In this way, the bangs were also envied by the nobles of the Qing court. If the Hunan Army hadn't been too powerful, they would have shaved off the bangs long ago.

As time passed, it soon came to the end of 1887. At this time, the news that Liu Hai had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

Li Chengmou will be transferred elsewhere, and the position of Admiral of the Nanyang Navy will become vacant. This is the news that Liu Hai has been waiting for for a long time.

As a result, Zeng Guoquan submitted several memorials recommending Liu Hai to take over as the admiral of the Nanyang Navy, but the memorials were suppressed.

Zeng Guoquan sent someone to inquire, and it seemed that someone had spent money to get the position of admiral of the Nanyang Navy.

Moreover, what these people said was very convincing, and the imperial edict listed a list of several people, as if these people were really vying for the position of admiral of the Nanyang Navy.

But who is Zeng Guoquan? He has been in the officialdom all his life. One look at this situation and it becomes clear that the court is jealous that his son-in-law earns too much money.

So Zeng Guoquan quickly wrote a letter to Liu Hai, asking him to send someone to Beijing to take care of the ministers around Lafayette.

After Liu Hai received Zeng Guoquan's letter, he thought about it and realized that he would not be able to control the Nanyang Navy unless he fed the moths above.

He hurriedly sent someone to deliver 2 million taels of silver to Zeng Guoquan, asking Zeng Guoquan to help him manage the situation.

And Zeng Guoquan was really capable. He was already familiar with the official relationships in the Qing Dynasty, and soon a silver note of 500,000 taels was delivered to Li Lianying.

With Li Lianying's mediation, a large amount of money was soon sent to the private treasury of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the palace.

In addition, Liu Hai wrote a letter to Li Lianying saying that after returning to the present, he would pay an additional 2 million silver tribute to the old Buddha every year. The Empress Dowager Cixi was finally full, so the memorial letter recommended Liu Hai to be the admiral of the Nanyang Navy.

, he was approved, and Liu Hai served as the admiral of the Nanyang Navy.
