Chapter 69 Where does the money go?

Shortly after Hu Chuyuan sold silk, other merchants also rushed to sell silk. All major foreign banks had completed the acquisition. Seeing that Chinese merchants scrambled to sell it, they bought raw silk at a low price. The price of raw silk plummeted all the way, and soon fell to 4 taels per catty, which was lower than in previous years.

It is always scolded for breaking the rules, but this time the situation is very special.

Everyone heard that it was Xu Run selling silk, so they went to Xu Run to settle accounts. Xu Run also said that Hu Chuyuan entrusted him to sell it.

Everyone went to Hu Chuyuan, and Hu Chuyuan said, "How can I have so many raw silks?" Besides, have you never discussed the same selling price with me before?

Anyway, this is a confused account.

After busy for a few days, Shen Furong finally took several people to identify the antique calligraphy and paintings hidden in Hu Mansion, and handed over the list to Hu Chuyuan early in the morning.

Hu Chuyuan took a closer look and found that there were really a few pieces of goods in it. He had to find a way to buy a few pieces of genuine products of similar value.

After reading this list, he was relieved and said to Shen Furong, "Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Furong smiled and said, "These pieces of sake are not very valuable. It should be that Master Zhang was blinded for a while and was deceived. The things of the Gu family are not fake, but haven't you noticed that there are two pieces of porcelain in it, which are exactly what we want.

"Huh?" Hu Chuyuan's heart was hot, and he hurriedly read the list again. Sure enough, there were two bright blue flowers painted with red circles on the list that Zeng Guoquan wanted.

He immediately asked Shen Furong, "Are you sure we want what we want?"

Shen Furong nodded his head and said, "It's all collected by Gu Shouzang. I guess he also has doubts about these things in his heart, but he still collects them and studies them. I'm going to find two other bright blue flowers to replace and keep these two things. There are so many things that I don't think Zeng Shangshu can remember them.

Although it is quite dangerous, it is a huge profit after all.

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and acquiesced, and asked Shen Furong, "Does Gu Shouzang know these things?"

Shen Furong said, "No, we put this batch of antiques in the Shen family's garden. If we let him know, wouldn't it be heartbreaking? Although he didn't dare to say it, it's hard to say this kind of thing. It's better to be careful. I've been taking him back to the house to be busy with idle things.

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "Well, you can try your best to whitewash through the pawnshop, and then sell them to several officials one by one...!"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Rong hurried into the study and brought a beautiful girl in.

Hu Chuyuan looked up and saw that Pan Limei was coming, so he asked curiously, "There is news in Suzhou!"

Pan Limei smiled, took out a folded letter from her pocket and gave it to Hu Chuyuan, and said, "Consor Tan sent someone to you yesterday. Seeing that you were not here, let me bring this letter to you quickly!"

"Oh?"

Tan Zhonglin's letter, it's hard to say.

Hu Chuyuan immediately pulled out the letter and saw a line of small words written on the paper: It has been settled, and he will be fined 800 cents per catty of salt.

Looking at this sentence, Hu Chuyuan couldn't help taking a cold breath.

Yang Changjun once said to him that "six hundred articles are not light, and eight hundred articles are not heavy". He still had something to expect in his heart, but as soon as he saw the real result, he still thumped in his heart, both surprised and happy.

What is surprising is that the amount of fines is too high. I'm afraid that the merchants who stir-fry salt everywhere are about to go bankrupt, and Xiduo is also about to go bankrupt.

He immediately gave this letter to Shen Furong.

Shen Furong exclaimed with just a glance, "So high?"

Hu Chuyuan asked, "How much did you think before?"

Shen Furong said, "In previous years, when checking and copying fried salt, it was just a fine of one or two hundred yuan per catty. This time, the amount involved is so large, and the amount of fines is so high. I'm afraid that many giant merchants will go bankrupt and confiscate it!"

Hu Chuyuan said, "The middle hall wants this effect. You can ask Gu Shouzang to return to Nanxun with money now. You tell him to buy antiques at a low price, followed by the store, and don't want the mansion.

Shen Furong said, "Well, I'll go find him."

Hu Chuyuan said again, "It's up to you to sit here in Shanghai. In this salt case, Shanghai and Nanxun are the hardest hit areas, and the bankrupt rich gentry should also be concentrated in these two places.

Shen Furong nodded slightly and felt that it was the same.

Make money quickly from the national disaster, and make money from bankruptcy. This is the constant iron law in the shopping mall.

Shortly after Shen Furong left, Yang Changjun of Shanghai Daotai also sent someone to deliver a letter to Hu Chuyuan. The news is the same. The Jiangnan salt case will be settled in the next two days.

In business, talents are the most important, and information is also very important.

Knowing the news two days earlier than others, Hu Chuyuan had time to prepare.

He has indeed made a lot of money during this period. The capital in Fukang Qianzhuang and Jiangnan Commercial Bank has not changed, but his capital in CITIC Company has reached 20.73 million taels of silver. This part of the assets are gathered in the salt disaster case. Half of them are more than 10 million taels of rebates for speculation and hoarding salt, and the other half is embezzled. The fixed assets of Zhang's two families.

Excluing the Yufeng Grain Society, his total assets at this time have also exceeded the mark of 50 million taels of silver.

This is a good calculation.

He now has 17.4 million taels of silver in his hand. The capital of Jiangnan Commercial Bank has increased to 11.85 million taels, 76% of which is his. The Xiangjun's debt of 12.94 million taels of silver is dead, and the foreign bank owes him another 4.53 million taels of raw silk.

Although Fukang Qianzhuang and Gongji Pawnshop are low-profit industries, they also have an inherent capital of nearly 10 million taels of silver.

These figures have added up to 53.87 million taels. What's more, CITIC has accumulated a lot of real estate houses and dock warehouses in CITIC.

Because the salt disaster case is in a hurry, Hu Chuyuan has been staying in Suzhou without calculating the general ledger dividends, and the bonus money at the end of the year has not been paid. Now that he has survived this, of course, he will pay dividends.

Hu Xueyan's income in previous years was between 1 million taels and 2 million taels of silver, and the dividend was between 100,000 taels and 200,000 taels.

Although Hu Chuyuan has earned a lot this year, at least the income of 20 million taels cannot be seen in public, and the dividends have increased, but it can only be set at the standard of 300,000 taels of silver. It is only that the four big shopkeepers each gave 300,000 taels of bonus, as a discount stock to continue to be in their respective businesses.

When Chen Xiaobai straightened out the account and looked at the general account, Hu Chuyuan thought about it in his heart.

After paying the dividend, he still had 15.9 million taels of silver in his hand, plus nearly 2 million discount shares of the four big shopkeepers. Based on one tael of silver, it is calculated by 500RMB, which is at least 9 billion yuan.

Where on earth is he going to invest so much money?
