Gu Rui, who said "If you don't make money, you will lose money", he sent a slave girl back to Tianzhu to the country of Dashi.
I was planning to look for new ways to make money after the New Year, but ended up doing business before the New Year was over.
Gu Rui received Huang Xin's message, read it three times, and then went to reply to Huang Xin's message:
"How do you do the slave business in Yinzhou? We can cooperate. I can let you become a shareholder, or I can send you these 100 female slaves to Yinzhou for free."
Gu Rui knew that Huang Xin went to Beiyinzhou and could no longer work in the small factory in the south of the Yangtze River. He sold it directly to other big bosses in the same industry and went to Yinzhou with the money.
Huang Xin saw the reply and after hesitating for a long time, he finally gave a rough summary of the situation:
"The League of Nations banned the sale of Mexican slaves, and the British banned the sale of Indian slaves to the United States.
"A young and strong American slave has seven hundred silver notes, and a fine female slave has two thousand dollars.
"It is expected that the medium and high-grade Tianzhu female slaves can be sold for three thousand, but not in large quantities. There is a risk of being suspected of smuggling and being banned.
"I want a hundred high-quality female slaves to be sent to New Orleans to pay for the intelligence fee, and then everyone can sell them for their own money.
"Or we can run it together, and I will invest in it with information and channels and 50,000 silver notes.
"We sell ordinary slaves in large quantities and high-quality female slaves in small quantities.
"I will take 30% of the total profit, and you will take 70%."
Huang Xin knew that his strength was incomparable to Gu Rui, so he only wanted three levels of benefits.
Gu Rui jumped up immediately after reading it and shouted hysterically:
"Fuck it! Fuck it!"
Then he wrote a telegram with trembling hands and sent it to his collaborator Lu Frei:
"Don't fucking go to Mozhou. Go and organize the supply of goods immediately. Both ships are full, at least 8,000, with a ratio of nine men to one woman. Let's go to Beiyinzhou together."
Ruifrey in turn asked Gu Rui what business he was doing and how he did it.
Gu Rui continued to curse and asked Lu Frei to start harvesting first, and then asked him to meet outside the sea.
Gu Rui told Lu Frei about the business situation on the boat:
"A slave girl sent to Beiyinzhou can earn ten times the income.
"Even based on the current sales price of Beiyinzhou Mo slaves, ordinary *** can sell for more than three times the current price.
"At the same time, if there are too many female slaves, they won't be able to be sold at a high price. It doesn't matter, so we can sell them in large quantities.
"Britain is not allowed to sell Tianzhu slaves to the United States. You can sell them directly to me overseas.
"The Ming Dynasty does not allow the large-scale export of Tianzhu slaves. I got the goods from southern Tianzhu where you are.
"The British do not allow British people to transport Tianzhu slaves to the United States, but I am from the Ming Dynasty.
"Before you prepare the goods to be shipped, you must prepare the certificate issued by the Governor's Palace of Nantianzhu.
"I'll prepare another contract for our maritime slave trade.
"There are also two two-way lease contracts for two ships.
"If you cross the West Sea Canal and encounter the Ming Dynasty's censorship, you will rent it to me.
"When you pass through Gibraltar and encounter British censorship, it will be considered as rented to you by me.
"This is a key document for us to cross the West Sea Canal and Gibraltar.
"The two of us can work together to stay on the edge of the law. In theory, everything we do is legal.
"As long as you make a deal like this, you can enjoy it for most of your life.
Lufrey became furious when he heard about half of it, which was because he was stimulated by the profits.
A pair of eyes immediately turned red, and then he asked very nervously:
"How do you divide the money? Or 50-50?"
Gu Rui shook his head and said:
"The brother who provided the information and channels can also be regarded as our collaborator. He is in New Orleans, Yinzhou.
"He wants 30% of his income, and I bear the greatest responsibility. I want 40%, and you also get 30%."
Ruifrey was a little unhappy:
"Why is it only 30%!"
Gu Rui slapped the table directly and said:
"Thirty percent is pretty good. Thirty percent is better than you."
You can make more money by selling to Mozhou.
"If you collect a Tianzhu slave for eighty silver notes and sell it to Mozhou for one hundred and sixty, you can make eighty.
"If you go to Yinzhou, you can sell it for seven or eight hundred, and we can make six or seven hundred. If you give it 30%, that's two hundred.
"There are also high-quality female slaves. Each one can earn more than two thousand, and the third level is seven hundred!
"It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. If you don't, I will organize the goods myself from Beitianzhu.
"I only run my own ship and only sell a small number of high-quality female slaves. I make less money but it's worry-free."
Luv Frey also slapped the table:
"Do it! How could you not do it! I will organize the supply right away, within a month! Ten thousand!"
Gu Rui said with satisfaction:
"Okay, remember you have to be quick. We are definitely not the only ones to see this path and business opportunity. Only by being there first can we make money!"
Lu Frei and Gu Rui immediately went back to work.
And things were just as Huang Xin and Gu Rui expected, there were many people who discovered business opportunities.
Many people started this weird business competition without knowing who their opponents were.
The businessman who reacted the fastest made his first pot of gold not long after Huang Xin discovered the business opportunity.
The Antilles in the central part of North and South Yinzhou, including islands such as Cuba, Undersea, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica, were also transferred to the Ming Dynasty by the British and Spanish.
The plantation economy has been maintained on these islands for three hundred years, and the labor force on the plantations is mainly Mexican slaves.
The total number of Mexicans here exceeds two million, of which about one-third are free people.
The remaining slaves numbered nearly 1.5 million.
The previous land transfer process basically did not affect local planters.
All that changed was the target of their tax payments, and the slaves were certainly not affected.
But this time it was different. Daming asked all Taixi people to leave.
All free people must leave and will be considered slaves after the deadline.
Since the signing of the contract last year, immigrants from Thailand and Spain have begun to evacuate in disorder.
Of course they hoped to leave directly with all the slaves and continue to use them in other colonies.
These are slaves who have been trained for several generations, and they even bred slaves themselves.
They can all understand their own words, and some can even participate in low-level management work.
They are much easier to use than the Yidai students who went to Mozhou to capture them.
However, after losing the manor, they did not have much cash in their hands.
Therefore, their natural choice was to sell some low-level slaves, take some of the funds and other slaves to invest elsewhere, and establish new plantations.
But most people think so, and the people of Ming Dynasty don't like to see Mo slaves. As a result, the price of these Mo slaves can only be described as a big sale.
You can sell one for 60 or 70 silver notes, and you can choose at will for 100 silver notes.
But when the first group of immigrants left and arrived in other surrounding colonies, they found themselves at a huge loss.
Because the League of Nations banned Mexican efforts to export, the price of slaves doubled or even tripled.
The United States and Canada are the most obvious.
Many people instinctively wanted to come back and buy slaves in large numbers, but unfortunately they couldn't go back.
They have no right of abode in Cuba, Undersea, Jamaica, etc.
If you break in rashly, you may be caught and castrated by Ming officers and soldiers.
Fortunately, they also took some of the slaves away and could make a lot of money by selling some of them.
Those who ran back to Mozhou with their slaves were the ones who were at a disadvantage and couldn't sleep.
The first person to make money from this was a businessman from Ming Dynasty.
Seven days after Huang Xin discovered the business opportunity, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Ankang.
A transport ship carrying five thousand Mexican slaves docked in Charleston, South Carolina.
The cargo owner of the transport ship is named Cao Zhennan. The transport ship is under the banner of Ming Dynasty, and other countries' navies have no control over it.
The Ming Navy came on board for inspection, and Cao Zhennan had an official customs clearance certificate issued by the occupying authorities of Haiti.
It was confirmed that the slaves were not transported from Mozhou, but were transferred within Yinzhou, which is currently completely legal.
South Carolina also did not prohibit the sale of slaves, nor did it prohibit the importation of slaves, even if they were desired.
Cao Zhennan's five thousand slaves were sold out in just ten days.
At first the price exceeded six hundred silver notes.
But soon people began to wait and see, because many businessmen naturally thought that if Cao Zhennan could get slaves, others could too.
The key is that many people guessed the origin of Cao Zhennan's slaves through the immigrants who had previously evacuated.
Although American businessmen cannot participate in this transaction, it is conceivable that more and more Ming businessmen will participate.
After Cao Zhennan discovered that the sales speed had slowed down, he immediately decisively reduced the price and sold it.
It was directly reduced to five hundred silver notes, and a large number of them were immediately sold.
But before Cao Zhennan's slaves were sold out, the second wave of slave ships from Ming merchants arrived.
And this time it was not just one ship, but a total of five ships arrived from Cuba, Haiti and other places.
After Cao Zhennan received the news, he immediately lowered the price to four hundred silver notes and sold off all the remaining slaves.
In the end, the average price of five thousand slaves fell around five hundred.
Cao Zhennan directly received 2.5 million banknotes, and the total cost of this transaction was only 1 million.
The net profit was nearly 1.5 million.
It took less than two months in total, and the average was nearly one million a month.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Ankang in the Ming Dynasty, on a big ship on the dock in Charleston, Cao Zhennan, holding a cigar in his mouth, distributed money to his sailors and men:
"Brothers, you have worked hard together for a month, and we have made such a huge sum of money.
"Take all the money and go out to have fun for a few days. I'll do some good business when I think of it."
A young man in his twenties was naked from the waist up, his bronzed muscles shining in the sun.
He laughed and took a stack of bills, and said very happily and a little bit incomprehensively:
"Master, why don't we make another trip? Even if the price drops now, we can still make some money."
Cao Zhennan shook his head very dissatisfied and said:
"You kid, you forgot what I said. I won't do business if I can't earn charter fees.
"There were too many people transporting slaves from Cuba to the United States. We rushed slowly and quickly to become the first one.
"We'll come over on the next trip, and the price will probably drop to 300. The ship owner makes more than us, so isn't that just working for the ship owner?
"But don't worry, there may not be good business in the future.
"I have an idea now and I need to confirm it as soon as possible.
"You go and play for a few days first."
The young man was still very happy and said:
"You can speak when the time comes! I promise to be on call!"
After Cao Zhennan distributed the money, the strong young men who had been holding back for more than a month immediately ran to Charleston.
