Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 904: The Seriously Underestimated Tianzhu Market
With 20 elephants present, the three tigers were easily brought back to the temporary camp.

Hundreds of manor servants and villagers who came with them to hunt the three tigers saw Chu Xiangqian really kill the three tigers.

I couldn't help but cheer.

It was confirmed that the largest tigress was really killed by Chu Xiangqian with his bare hands.

These people were just like those who went to pick up Chu Xiangqian before. Soon someone knelt down and bowed to Chu Xiangqian.

Once there was one, there was a second, and finally everyone in the camp was gone, except Singh and a few young men of high enough status.

Even Linda, Eliza, Liya, and Lina prostrated themselves along with most of the people.

Chu Xiangqian was so happy that he said that except for the skin of the female tiger, he would keep it for himself, and sell the other skins for food to distribute to everyone.

This time, the cheers got even louder.

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Singh, and seeing the distressed look on his face, he couldn't help but mutter that his brother-in-law was too narrow-minded.

He has always been said to be frugal, but compared to Singh, Chu Xiangqian believes that he is never stingy when it comes to spending money.

He nudged Singh with his arm and winked at him, and Singh reluctantly began to promise that each person who went into the mountains to hunt would get 20 kilograms of rice.

Chu Xiangqian was speechless after hearing this. A tiger could be sold for thousands of dollars even in a big city in India.

If the two whole tigers were exchanged for rice, it would weigh at least 70,000 to 80,000 kilograms.

There were more than a hundred people to share, with an average of 700 to 800 kilograms per person. However, Singer was only willing to reward a total of only 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms. Even Linda and Elisa felt helpless about the behavior of this dear brother.

However, there were still many servants of the Hajak family who praised Singh out of respect.

This guy not only didn't feel that he was being mocked in his heart, but he felt that Chu Xiangqian was so generous, and the cheers and praises he received were only slightly more than himself.

In his mind, perhaps this was the way to accomplish great things with little money, and he was proud that his prestige was much greater than Chu Xiangqian's.

This is why you can win everyone's cheers by spending only this little money.

Chu Xiangqian simply ignored this stupid, self-satisfied brother-in-law.

Linda, Elisa, Liya and Lina began to assign people to deal with the tiger carcass, prepare dinner and keep watch.

Stay here one more night today and set off back tomorrow morning.

Singer thought that if he didn't say anything, the servants in the house would definitely pretend to obey him, but it turned out that Linda and Eliza's words were more effective than his.

Because the three tigers were killed several days in advance, there was enough food to carry into the mountains.

Linda suggested holding a bonfire party tonight.

Chu Xiangqian thought he had no objection.

Unexpectedly, at night many managers of the Hajak family secretly approached Linda and Elisa, and even Liya and Lina.

He said he wanted to work at Chu Xiangqian's estate.

When Chu Xiangqian learned about this, he just thought about it and said to Linda, Elisa, Liya and Lina with a smile.

“Go talk to Singh and tell him that I am planning to increase investment in India, but I am worried that I don’t have enough manpower.

If the Hajak family is willing to give me some manpower.

I can use a servant or a farm worker to give the Hajak family 10 pounds of dried fish or 100 pounds of breadfruit as a reward. "

Elisa immediately showed a dissatisfied expression and said, "These servants and stewards are willing to follow me and my sister. There is no need for them to give benefits to my father and brother."

Liya and Lina thought about it and nodded, but Linda understood what Chu Xiangqian meant.

This little thing is nothing to my man.

While not having to offend local forces, it also creates a good reputation for Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian saw that Linda understood what he meant, and said with a smile, “My goal is not to become a big landowner in Osharibon.

In the future, our children will surely be the largest landowners in Oshari State, as well as the largest energy, mining, communications, steel and sugar giants in Oshari State.

He even wanted to become one of the richest people in India, with businesses spanning several states surrounding Osari State.

So from now on, we should consciously begin to cultivate our own priests, politicians, and local officials.

He even funded politicians in the Indian National Party who had the potential to become president.

The investment involved may be huge, but the returns will be multiplied many times over.”

As for wanting to become a monopoly capitalist spanning the entire Tianzhu, Chu Xiangqian had this idea before.

But after gaining a deeper understanding of the relationships between the various states in India, this idea was immediately dispelled.

Not only does India like to cheat foreigners, but there are also many disputes between its states.

As for expanding the business to the north or the south, no one actually did it, even in India decades later.

Not to mention the 60s when conservative sentiments were even stronger.

Moreover, due to religious reasons, there is great hostility between some states.

Even if it is a good thing that benefits the province, once it enters the other state, it will be inexplicably resisted by the locals.

Formulate various policies to restrict you or even target you specifically.

The future two Cokes suffered a great loss in Tianzhu.

After hearing Chu Xiangqian's plan, Linda and others, not to mention Alyssa, Liya and Lina, even Linda was shocked by what Chu Xiangqian said and was a little dazed.

But after the shock, he looked at Chu Xiangqian with great anticipation and excitement.

Just thinking about the future, if my children work hard and become the heirs to all Chu Xiangqian’s wealth in Tianzhu.

And then become one of the richest people in India. The expectation and longing are enough to make people excited just thinking about it.

Even if they cannot become the heir to all the assets, just inheriting a part of it is still a huge asset for the four women.

The four sisters dragged Chu Xiangqian into the tent and started beating him up.

This time, all of Chu Xiangqian’s billions of inventory must be handed over.

Especially for Elisa who was in a critical period, under Linda's persuasion, the sisters Leah and Lina also began to put the overall situation first.

Together they helped Elisa and obtained tens of billions of essence from Chu Xiangqian in three attempts.

Unexpectedly, Elisa got what she wanted with just three consecutive attacks.

Of course, this is something.

Linda and her four sisters tried every possible means this time, but in the end they were still defeated by Chu Xiangqian, who beat them all at once, and were exhausted from the punishment.

And the commotion in Chu Xiangqian's tent could not be hidden from everyone.

When he walked out of the tent neatly dressed with a relaxed expression on his face, dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at him.

Singh quickly pulled him into a group of a dozen young men, surrounded him and began asking if he had any secret recipes or special training techniques.

Chu Xiangqian chuckled and said it was just a talent.

Singh and others naturally did not believe this. Singh even attributed the reason why Chu Xiangqian was so strong to his kung fu.

Just like Chu Xiangqian, a Chinese, who only had a superficial understanding of India, Singh also had some superficial understanding of Chinese culture.

Therefore, he was very sure that the legendary dual cultivation method in the Celestial Empire not only existed, but Chu Xiangqian must also know the secret technique in this regard. For the sake of family harmony and the satisfaction of several wives, Singh was not stingy at all this time.

Not only did he promise a lot of benefits, but he also gave a lot of benefits to other young people of relatively high status.

One of the landowners, who was about 30 years old, guessed from the conversation between Linda and Eliza that Chu Xiangqian came to Osari State this time with the intention of signing a sugar purchase contract with local forces.

He pulled Chu Xiangqian aside and whispered a promise that he was willing to sell him his family's 500-acre sugarcane plantation at half the price.

One acre is equal to 6.07 mu, and five hundred acres is three thousand acres of sugarcane forest.

Chu Xiangqian immediately became interested.

Based on his knowledge of sugarcane in Osari State, the yield of sugarcane per mu in Tianzhu is about 3 to 4 tons.

It is much less than the acres in China.

Taking the average value per acre, it is 3.5 tons.

One ton of sugarcane produces 60 to 100 kilograms of sugar, with an average of 80 kilograms.

Five hundred acres of sugarcane produce 84 kilograms, or 840 tons of sugar.

Based on the price of sugar at 37 pounds per ton at the time, the output of these 3.1 acres was pounds.

But if it is expanded tenfold or a hundredfold, then thirty or thirty million pounds would be considered a huge fortune even in London in this era.

If it were in Southeast Asia, that would be a huge sum of money.

While Chu Xiangqian was growing sugar himself, he also wanted to play in the London sugar futures market.

Let me tell you something interesting that modern people cannot understand.

If a trader in the London sugar futures market graduated from a certain department in Oxford, and the other one graduated from another department in Oxford.

Or if they are from Cambridge or Nottingham, then there is no point in them cooperating with each other and they won’t even bother with each other.

This has resulted in the London sugar futures market being unusually closed and clearly hierarchical.

In Chu Xiangqian's eyes, this was simply incomprehensible and stupid, but the stronger the hierarchy and xenophobia, the greater the opportunity to make money.

In addition, in 62, China had actually begun exporting large quantities of sugar in exchange for valuable foreign exchange.

At the beginning, the price of sugar in China was relatively cheap, and we did make a lot of money.

However, it also provoked joint suppression from major sugar merchants in Southeast Asia.

As long as Chu Xiangqian is willing to purchase at a normal price, I believe the Celestial Empire will definitely sell all the sugar to him.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that if he did so, some people would inevitably accuse him of taking advantage of the Celestial Empire.

The most correct approach would be to first make a name for yourself in India and let the Celestial Empire come to you.
-
The five hundred acres of sugarcane plantation produces £3.1 in sales each year from the production of sugar.

After deducting costs, it is not difficult to make three thousand pounds a year.

Singh also secretly told him that these 500 acres of mature land would cost at least 200,000 or 300,000 pounds to buy.

Selling it to Chu Xiangqian at half the price is indeed very sincere.

Chu Xiangqian also understood that this guy must have some health problems, but he did not agree to the deal directly.

Instead, he gave the man 10 bottles of tiger bone wine and asked him to go back and try it.

Considering the price of tiger bone wine at 250 pounds a bottle, selling the secret recipe is not as profitable as selling the wine.

Moreover, in many states of India, people are allowed to marry multiple wives.

As men age, they have a lot of trouble.

This is also the main reason why tiger bone wine sells so well in Hong Kong Island, London, Japan, Thailand and New York.

Chu Xiangqian also quickly realized that perhaps tiger bone wine was the weapon for him to open up the Indian market and enter the Indian business circle.

A dozen young men from wealthy families with similar status to Singh received 10 bottles of tiger bone wine from Chu Xiangqian. Just three days later, some of them began to covet the agency rights of this wine in Tianzhu.

Chu Xiangqian’s choice of agent was also simple.

Five hundred acres of sugarcane plantation, converted into money, would amount to 25 pounds as agency fee.

As long as he trades 250 acres of sugarcane with me, I will give this person 1 bottles of tiger bone wine at pounds per bottle.

As for how much the other party sells it for, it has nothing to do with you.

In just three short days, Chu Xiangqian went from zero to becoming a large landowner with 6 acres of sugarcane plantations in Osari State.

The price was just 1.2 bottles of tiger bone wine.

Chu Xiangqian was a little worried that the tiger bone wine would be sold to Europe and the United States by Singh and others.

But this time, Chu Xiangqian seriously underestimated Tianzhu's consumption capacity.

Judging from the population size and the ratio of rich people in India, the number of rich people seems to be very small.

But India's population base is also very large. In fact, the total population of India is equivalent to that of the entire Europe.

Given the large base and the huge gap between the rich and the poor, there are actually still a lot of rich people.

Not to mention the immeasurable wealth of temples among the Brahmins who have mastered education and faith.

1 Even if it is 3 bottles per year, according to Singh's estimation, they can be sold easily.

Singh also set up a business with 11 other agents and changed the name of tiger bone wine to Aquarius wine.

And the uniform selling price is 400 pounds.

This made Chu Xiangqian start to worry. It might take several years to sell all the 1.2 bottles of tiger bone wine.

But Singh and the other 11 agents just laughed it off, and even when Chu Xiangqian asked, they did not explain why they were so confident.

As for why it is called Treasure Bottle, after Chu Xiangqian learned about it, he could only say that the monks from India really know how to have fun.

However, Chu Xiangqian would not care about such things, and he had already guessed that the main customer group of tiger bone wine should be those Indian monks who are not forbidden to drink.

As a result, Chu Xiangqian was eager to have the Indian priests as his clients.

When Chu Xiangqian bought a sugar rough processing workshop in Osaribond and ordered the latest sugar refining machines from Europe, he planned to set up a sugar processing factory in Hong Kong Island.

Singh actually came with 11 other tiger bone wine agents.

The second 6 acres of sugarcane plantation was directly delivered to him.

Chu Xiangqian picked up the document and took a look at it. He stood up subconsciously in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

After saying that, Chu Xiangqian realized that since Singh and his team had once again offered 6 acres of sugarcane forest, it must be because tiger bone wine not only made them a lot of money, but also sold very well.

Otherwise, how could these people acquire another 6,000 acres of sugarcane land in such a short time?

This forced him to re-evaluate the spending power of wealthy people in India.

Singh and others couldn't help feeling proud when they saw that Chu Xiangqian was shocked.

They even felt that being able to surprise Chu Xiangqian so much was something they should be proud of.
