Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 104 Qing Dynasty Advisor of the Russian Chamber of Commerce

Zhu Chuanwen did not expect that the first salary he earned in this world would be Russian money.

Andre himself had already understood the situation, and he did not communicate with Zhu Chuanwen.In other words, when he encounters a serious matter, he becomes the superior. Others only need to speak out their own ideas, and it is up to him how to weigh them.

Andre feels that after the Russo-Japanese War, the entire European continent will return to its original balance, and now the balance is tilted towards Germany. If Russia wanted to form an alliance with France and Germany and challenge Britain with Russia as the leader, Now it has become that Germany wants to form an alliance with Russia, kick France away, and fight against Britain.

Germany and France are enemies. Needless to say, Britain and France occasionally wear a pair of trousers.

Therefore, Russia, which is currently weak, will become the target of Britain and Germany, so Russia has an advantage on the British side.

So, are Americans and Japanese monolithic?

In Andre's view, it is not. According to Andre's news, the "British-Japanese Alliance Treaty" signed by Britain and Japan in August this year clearly wrote a clause, mutual assistance in war. When there is a conflict between Japan and the United States, Britain will have On the side of the Japanese.This was signed between the British and the Japanese in order to consolidate their rights in India. In exchange, Russia's interests in North Korea became the object of the transaction.

Taking other people's things to sign an agreement with Japan, this is the most powerful country in the world at this time, the confidence of the United Kingdom, I have to say, is very rogue.

From here, we can also see who a certain big country in later generations learned from.

Andre intends to confront the upcoming interest groups of Japan, Britain, and the United States as the Ice City Self-Government Committee.What Zhu Chuanwen said is correct, it is a commercial war, how to fight it specifically, collect raw materials at high prices, and sell products at low prices.

Well, the odds are good. To be honest, as long as the status quo can be maintained, he will be satisfied.

So Andre thought of two steps. One is to start with the railway freight rate and reduce the interests of the railway bureau. Of course, this step is difficult, but you have to try.The second is to protect the interests of Russian businessmen through measures such as ice city tax cuts.After all, the final benefits of the country still have to be seized through the hands of businessmen.

The second is to start with Zhu Chuanwen's identity. He intends to push Zhu Chuanwen to the front and use his identity as a native of the Qing Dynasty to directly start some high-profit industries, such as mining.This is the purpose of calling Zhu Chuanwen to his house.

However, Zhu Chuanwen's idea of ​​building a factory in Bingcheng is indeed more worry-free. If he can persuade those Grandet to use Bingcheng as a production base, then Andre can make even more dazzling achievements, which shows that Andre capacity in economic construction.

Because the money flows into the pockets of the Russians from production to sale of the factory, the Russian businessmen who ultimately make a profit still have to exchange all kinds of money into rubles.So Andrei planned to give it a try and appointed Zhu Chuanwen as a consultant to the Russian City Committee, with a monthly salary of 200 rubles.

Speaking of Zhu Chuanwen, the salary is secondary. The important thing is that Zhu Chuanwen has finally entered the Russian circle.

On the day when Zhu Chuanwen received the letter of appointment, he wrote a letter in Russian inviting Russian businessmen to visit the Hanyao Flour Mill, and the letter was directly forwarded to the Russian Chamber of Commerce.

The upper-class Russians in Ice City were also shocked when they heard the news. They had all seen Zhu Chuanwen at Andrei's inauguration ceremony, but they did not expect that after Commander Andrei took office, he would target Bingcheng for the first time. An appointment will be a Qing Dynasty person.Still at this time.

They didn't dare to talk about Andre, but they were just curious about what kind of means this Qing countryman had. Could it be another cake?

This was a joke made by a Russian high-level official in the Ice City. They found out what the gift Zhu Chuanwen gave Andre that day. The three-tiered cake was made by Zhu Chuanwen. How many layers did they give this time?
At this time, the Russian chamber of commerce was also very surprised to receive Zhu Chuanwen's letter. They didn't know what the Qing consultant meant by sending them a letter. They visited the flour mill, where did they feel at this time.

But in order to save Andre's face, three businessmen were sent to visit Zhu Chuanwen's flour mill tomorrow.

The next day, Zhu Chuanwen waited at the gate with Xia Yuanzhang and Zhu Chunshan.

"10 o'clock sharp." Zhu Chuanwen took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was time written on the letter.

After about ten seconds, a carriage slowly appeared in Zhu Chuanwen's sight.

The three Russian businessmen got off the carriage, greeted Zhu Chuanwen warmly, and called Zhu Chuanwen "Mr. Consultant" in their mouths.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Chuanwen took the three of them into the flour mill. The visit was no different from that when Benarev took Zhu Chuanwen to visit, but the cleanliness of the factory and the spirit of the workers surprised the Russian businessmen.

Next is the main event.

"Gentlemen, you must be wondering why I wrote to the Russian Chamber of Commerce?" Zhu Chuanwen talked in the flour mill's office, "the Japanese are coming!"

There was no expression on the faces of the three of them, wanting to see what Zhu Chuanwen was trying to tell.

"Manager Xia, go and take out our account books." Zhu Chuanwen ordered Xia Yuanzhang.

Holding the account book, Zhu Chuanwen began to write something on the blackboard made to literate workers in Russian.

"Chunshan, what is the master planning to do?" Xia Yuanzhang asked after poking Zhu Chunshan lightly.

"It is said to give the Russians some insight." Zhu Chunshan repeated what Zhu Chuanwen said last night.

"Then why did the two accountants make a copy of the account book overnight?" Xia Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"I don't know about that." Zhu Chunshan dozed off and said, Zhu Chunshan was in charge of the account book. After copying it overnight last night, he sent it to Xia Yuanzhang to read it again to see if there was any discrepancy.

The two were talking in low voices, but the Russians below all opened their mouths.

It turns out that Zhu Chuanwen wrote down the profit timeline of his factory. They have never seen such a profit. Half a month after the factory opened, it was fully put into production, and the annual profit of production almost reached 200%. That is to say, Zhu Chuanwen's flour mill investment can make two flour mills profitable every year.

"See, gentlemen. This is a business opportunity! A business opportunity that belongs only to us." Zhu Chuanwen said energetically on it, like a pyramid scheme,

In fact, Zhu Chuanwen's success is difficult to replicate. The price of wheat in Sanjiangkou was already low, and the price of the machines he bought was also low. Coupled with the low cost of workers in the Qing Dynasty, these three lows directly led to the gorgeousness of his account book, which is comparable to epic.

Especially in the eyes of these businessmen, seeing Zhu Chuanwen's account books is like the Bible.

What does Zhu Chuanwen want to do? The gold factory in Sanjiangkou is too slow to produce golden eggs. He plans to speed up the industry in Bingcheng. How to improve it? It just so happens that he has a profitable flour factory.It just so happened that the Russians were going to fight a trade war with the Japanese.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, can they not be tempted when they see such a situation?When these factories slowly develop, if the Russians withdraw at that time, then these will all belong to Zhu Chuanwen. If they don’t withdraw, this, this is the land of the Qing Dynasty, big brother.Of course, this is just the bold idea in Zhu Chuanwen's mind at this time, slowly figure it out, slowly figure it out.

"Mr. Consultant, is what you said true? Of course, you can come to my factory for investigation, and I welcome you at any time. Of course, I may be busy, so you can find my two managers." Zhu Chuanwen introduced Xia Yuanzhang to several people And Zhu Chunshan, their Russian is only able to speak short sentences, but if these Russians are sincere, the translator will probably be equipped.
