Chapter 62 Xu Run is a personal essence

When he saw Yang Changjun leave in a sedan chair, Hu Chuyuan's heart shone a few pictures.

Yang Changjun revealed two pieces of information to him. First, the case will be closed at the end of the month; Second, the fine for salt merchants will be extremely heavy at that time.

This also means that... After the end of the month, a large number of merchants will go bankrupt, especially those Nanxun merchants who are both raw silk and salt, and the price of silk plummets.

Thinking about this clearly, Hu Chuyuan asked Hu Rong to make a quick trip back to Shanghai.

Before leaving, he called Zhu Funian, the shopkeeper of Suzhou Gongji Pawnshop, and asked Zhu Funian to take 2 million taels of Qianzhuang to Nanxun to sit in the town. However, all mortgaged houses and stores were not accepted. The mortgage of high-class Sangtian was given priority, and the mortgage of antique cultural relics were cut 70% when they met.

There is no ready-made river ship for the time, so Hu Rong can only rent a ship at a high price.

Hu Chuyuan left in the afternoon. When he arrived in Shanghai, it was already evening. When he returned to Shanghai, he had no time to return to his Hu Mansion first, so he went directly to Xu Run's Yuyuan.

This time the lightning returned to Shanghai, his status is completely different from before. Who dares to let him get out of the beach now?

After waiting outside the Yuyuan Gate for more than ten seconds, there were bursts of shouts in the garden.

Soon, Xu Run strode out with a few family, with a happy face. After more than a dozen steps, he hugged his fists and smiled with Hu Chuyuan and said, "Mr. Hu, be safe and sound!"

Hu Chuyuan also hugged his fist and said, "Boss Xu, I'm well!"

Xu Run hurriedly said, "Mr. Hu, let's go in and talk."

"Good!"

Hu Chuyuan was not polite. He raised his foot and walked into the garden quickly. He also had something urgent to do in his heart, otherwise he would not have come in such a hurry.

Entering the hall of Xu Run's house, two family members also came out. One was a charming middle-aged lady, and the other was a graceful woman about 20 years old.

Xu Run replaced Hu Chuyuan. One was his wife and the other was his daughter. He is a man who believes in Christ. He has only one wife and only one daughter under his knees.

Hu Chuyuan said hello to them, and then entered the study with Xu Run.

As soon as he sat down, Hu Chuyuan said to Xu Run, "Boss Xu, I'm coming to you this time, hoping you can do me a favor."

Xu Run said, "Then please say it!"

Hu Chuyuan said, "To be honest, I have now got the raw silks hoarded by Boss Tang, Boss Zhang and Boss Gu, 520,000 catties of Suzhou silk, 700,000 catties of first-class silk, plus my own 210,000 catties of Hangzhou silk, a total of 1.43 million catties. I want to ask Boss Xu to sell them immediately in your name for me."

Whether it is doing business with Chinese people or with foreigners, as long as you do business, you should pay attention to a familiar way.

The Hu family used to negotiate with Hu Xueyan and those foreigners in person. Now, Hu Chuyuan doesn't know or have friendship with those foreigners. I don't know how troublesome it is to sell so many raw silks in an emergency.

Xu Run was also slightly shocked and said, "Is it so urgent?"

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently.

Xu Run couldn't help but have some doubts and asked, "Have you got any news?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "You don't have to ask too much about this. I have something else to do, and I must turn these raw silk into silver as soon as possible.

Xu Run sighed and thought carefully before saying to Hu Chuyuan, "At present, all the foreign banks in Shanghai have not bought last year's summer. According to experience, textile factories in Europe and the United States should also be out of stock at present. A few days ago, Jin Heng, the big class of Qichang Yanghang, came to me again, saying that he wanted to buy a first-class summer of 500,000 catties, and he was willing to offer a price of 7.3 taels per catty... Unfortunately, I don't have any goods in my hand, so this transaction has not been completed.

Hu Chuyuan said, "Then please talk to him again. Just say that you have the goods."

Xu Run nodded and said, "The situation is changing. Recently, the salt case has been tight, and many silk merchants involved in the salt case have begun to loosen up and want to negotiate prices with foreign banks. I'm afraid the price of 7.3 taels per catty won't work.

Hu Chuyuan also had this premonition, but he felt that the price offered by Qichang Yangxing to Xu Run should be more than 7.3 taels of silver per catty. Xu Run wanted to resell it and stopped 1 taels of silver per catty.

He said to Xu Run, "Well, Boss Xu, no matter how much you can sell, I only trade at the price of 7 taels of silver per catty of Husi and 6.5 taels per catty of Hangsi, and the middle is your hard work."

Xu Run said anxiously, "Mr. Hu, am I that kind of person? We can do big business together in the future. If you have something to ask me to help, can I not do my best? Don't worry, I'll try my best to help you get a higher price, even if it's a percent rebate.

"Oh?"

Hu Chuyuan was a little strange and didn't understand what Xu Run was playing.

Xu Run smiled and said, "But... Master Hu, I also have something to ask you for help. This is also a small matter for you. I have something to say. I don't hide anything from you. When Boss Tang and Boss Gu left, they transferred the assets of Shanghai to my name. The market value is about 8.5 million yuan, and the selling price is 3.2 million yuan. The condition is that I have to remit 700,000 yuan to them in a month.

At present, Shanghai has mainly used Yangyuan, and everyone mainly uses Yangyuan when doing business.

Hu Chuyuan listened to these words and roughly guessed what Xu Run wanted to ask him for help, so he continued, "Isn't that a good deal?"

Xu Run couldn't help sighing and said, "That's what I'm saying... I guess the court will not continue to entangle with foreigners for this matter. This asset is still very safe in the end, but no one dares to take it at present. Unfortunately, my money is all over the real estate in Shanghai, and I can't withdraw it for a while. Affected by the salt case, Shanghai's foreign banks and Qianzhuang have long stopped borrowing, and I can't borrow money from others to them. I have to ask Hu Shao for a favor. Can you lend me 700,000 yuan first? Of course, I'm not a single-eater. If there is anything in their assets that is suitable for the prince, I will transfer it to the prince at the price they transferred to me!"

Human spirit, human spirit!

Hu Chuyuan finally fully understood Xu Run's calculation.

Xu Run deliberately said that it was so hard to sell Shengsi, but he just wanted to borrow some money and explain the reason of the matter clearly. He didn't keep any secrets, which made it difficult for Hu Chuyuan to refuse.

Xu Run can start as a foreign apprentice. At the age of 40, he had a family business of nearly 10 million taels of silver. Of course, this man is shrewd, and his ability must not be doubted.
