Opening game, American Tycoon

Chapter 626 The Happy Life of Middlemen (First update, please subscribe)
In the 19th century, as the gate of the Qing Dynasty was opened by the British with naval guns, European countries finally extended their hands into East Asia.When the forces of Western countries invaded the East Asian countries one after another, only North Korea remained closed and was regarded by Westerners as a "hermit country" that could not be pryed into.

Unlike Japan, which was opened by Perry's fleet, although the invasion of the French fleet from the "Bingyin Yang disturbance" began to the invasion of the American fleet in the "Xin Weiyang disturbance" two years ago, even though every invasion of North Korea has paid a heavy price The price, but in the face of long-term demands for negotiation and signing of the contract, open the door to the country.

North Korea always held a strict refusal attitude. Although North Korea failed to defeat the French and American fleets on the battlefield, this "stubbornness" that would rather defeat than talk about it forced the French and American fleets to withdraw their troops one after another.

After the "Xin Weiyang disturbance" two years ago, "monuments of reconciliation" were erected all over North Korea, and xenophobia reached its peak.

However, even so, North Korea’s national gate is not completely closed, at least not closed to the Qing Dynasty. Although on the surface, the maritime trade between China and North Korea has basically stagnated due to the sea ban, in fact, there will always be people from China along the coast of North Korea. Merchant ships between the two countries are engaged in maritime trade that the two countries acquiesce to.

"It's finally here!"

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the fishing village on the shore, Chen Sheng's eyes were full of longing. It took him two and a half months to travel from Daming to Haizhou, from Haizhou to North Korea, but it didn't matter, as long as he could Just get the business done.

"Master Xu, are you sure that nothing will happen to us when we go up?"

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Chen, we have been doing this business all year round. When the goods land on the shore, the county magistrate will send someone to take away [-]%. what happened."

What Xu Tianyuan said was correct. When the ship approached the wooden trestle bridge, a few people who looked like officials came to the ship as soon as the cargo was unloaded. left.

"This place is quite well-regulated, and it will do things after receiving money."

While sighing, Chen Sheng looked at the dilapidated town in front of him. Although the stench in the air made people feel that there were more huts here than in the small town, and the dung and pigs all over the muddy road also made people feel uncomfortable. Feeling extremely ill.

But Chen Sheng didn't have these things in his eyes at all. He just stared at the dozen or so shops on the side of the road. According to shopkeeper Xu, these shops were all owned by merchants from the Qing Dynasty.

In the future, our business will be opened here.

……

"This place is really nice!"

In the backyard of the firm, Chen Sheng, who was reclining on the bed, stroked the soft waist of the Korean woman and looked at his pretty face.While walking in, Kim Jae-nam said:
"We just transported 246 people today. When they arrive in Shuri, the money will fall into our pockets. Thirty yuan per person. This trip can earn at least 6000 yuan, 6000..."

Put it aside, I'm afraid I will earn a lifetime!
Chen Sheng didn't want to believe that everything would go so smoothly. Since he arrived in Jimulpo a month ago, as the pioneer of "new business", he broke into this blue ocean. A North Korean woman was sent to Shuri, where a boat took them to Linhai.

A North Korean woman only has five bolts of cloth.

It's not that he raised prices maliciously. In business, if you want to grow big, you have to give some profits to the North Koreans so that they can work hard to earn money.

Five bolts of cloth, even if bought in Shuli, are only worth one yuan.

A dollar for a woman.

This business is profitable!

"Brother, if we do this business for a year, we will become millionaires!"

Jin Zainan said expectantly.

"At that time, if you deposit the money in the bank, you won't be able to spend all the interest for a year..."

"Look at your lack of ambition."

Chen Sheng laughed directly.

"If we want to prosper, we still need to set up a factory. When we earn money, we will also set up a factory. The machines in those factories are not the ones who spit out the money. With the machines and the factory, do you still have to worry about having no money?"

What did you learn from Daming?I'm afraid I just want to make a fortune and set up a factory, but how many people lose money when they set up a factory?

"Brother Chen said that we will also set up a factory at that time. If it is not possible, we will buy Boss Liang's factory directly. Then we will be the directors of Yusheng!"

When Jin Zainan was imagining the scene of returning home, Chen Sheng said.

"I want to think about it, but our business is still a bit risky, you can keep an eye on it, and nothing will happen, North Koreans..."

Shaking his head, Chen Sheng sighed.

"One by one, if the government finds out about our business, they might lose their heads!"

"Brother Chen, look at what you said, those grown-ups are all black-eyed guys who can't see money in vain. As long as they spend enough money, they will definitely turn a blind eye and close their eyes."

Crows are black all over the world, as long as they give benefits to those officials, the big trouble will naturally be reduced.

Besides, buying some people is just not killing people and getting more goods.

It is very common for ordinary North Korean people to sell their children and daughters to make a living.In fact, the same is true for the Qing Dynasty.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!

"I'm also doing good deeds! Only when they come to Daming can they live a good life!"

After saying something to himself, Chen Sheng sat on the couch, and a young and beautiful North Korean maid immediately stepped forward to prepare a bong for him, took a light puff, and said intoxicatedly:

"This day, live a comfortable life!"

Feeling full of warmth and thinking about sex, since becoming rich, Chen Sheng has also contracted a lot of bad habits, even disgusting, and even smoked opium like other Qing businessmen.

After taking a few puffs of big cigarettes, Chen Sheng looked at Jin Zainan who sat on the couch together and said.

"I've heard people say that there is a saying in North Korea that "men from the south and women from the north" say that women in the north are more beautiful. If that's the case, let's buy more people from the north in the future."

"That is, if we talk about women, they are still beautiful in the north. There are some very good girls in the north. I have seen it, and I really didn't lie to you. By the way, Brother Chen, there is a girl brought here this time. It is everyone. The illegitimate daughter who came out looks like a water spirit, you see, should we keep it for ourselves, or send it to Chief Ding's mansion..."

Chief Ding is the governor of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Ryukyu, and his official position is not too big or too small.Anyway, those of them who go out to do business must be taken care of by others.

So it is reasonable to say that he can send two maids to take care of Mr. Chief's daily life without taking money.

"Of course, it was sent to Chief Ding's residence. Although he is in Shuri, our business needs to be taken care of by others."

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Chen Sheng hugged the docile North Korean maid, and said with a wild smile: "When we look back, let's expand our business and buy an iron-clad immigrant boat. Thousands of women can be transported. Korean women look much better than Nanyang women. The appearance of those Nanyang women...that is, those from Vietnam and Khmer can be admired. These Korean women are gentle and will serve People are no worse than Japanese girls. When we arrive in Daming, they will definitely be very popular. At that time, we don’t need to go through other people’s hands, and we can do it ourselves..."

But everyone has ambitions, and Chen Sheng also has his own ambitions. Now he is just like a contractor, just doing a second-hand business.The big head was earned by his fellow countryman.

In the future, this business will definitely have to be done alone, and only by doing it alone can we make a lot of money, right?

Afterwards, Chen Sheng talked to Jin Zainan about some business matters, and then waved him to leave.After he left the house, Chen Sheng glanced at the maid next to him, and just made a show, and the docile maid knew what to do.

"Um……"

When the North Korean maid came over docilely, Chen Sheng put the bong on the table, looked at the ceiling, closed his eyes and snorted a few times, and then said:
"This is what life is..."
