Chapter 129 Horrible Profit Rates

On this day, there were more than ten storytelling points in the capital, all telling stories about Lu Xiangsheng's fight against the Qing Dynasty and Qi Jiguang's fight against the Japanese.

People are inherently communicative, and these days, if there is something new, they must spread it. Once it is passed on to people from ten to ten, everyone will know the summary of the matter.

The next day, the Jinyiwei spread to the vicinity of Zhili, and at the speed of a virus, they built momentum in various state capitals. The themes were two, the brutality of slave-building and Chongzhen's pursuit of Lu Xiangsheng.

Kong Ji Bank.

Kong Lianli waited eagerly in the room until his most trusted nephew came in.

"Uncle, the documents for the grain from various states and counties have been signed and can be shipped to the royal merchant house.

They agreed to exchange the thirteen incense, bicycles and penicillin in advance, but we had to wait a few days before giving them to us.

In addition to leaving necessary reserves in our various states and counties, we can probably spare 220,000 taels. Not only will we not lose money this time, but we will also make hundreds of thousands of taels when those things are brought to Datong."

Upon hearing this, Kong Lianli's restless movements finally stopped and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, just exchange it all. That idiot Fan Sanzhao is not smart. Why do you have to be honest with the emperor?"

I think he was fooled by the Manchu people's words. Isn't it good for these two to reap the dividends? If you only work for the Manchu people, they may not necessarily treat you as one of their own, just like this dog emperor Chongzhen."

"By the way, uncle, penicillin is very expensive. Only 30 taels of silver, which is 6,000 yuan in military coupons, can buy an unlimited supply of penicillin, which includes powder, injection and syringe.

Moreover, only penicillin is sold externally, and other drugs with the effect of penicillin are not sold externally. The medicine can only be prescribed after medical treatment at the Royal Merchant."

"So expensive?"

Kong Lianli exclaimed, the price was more expensive than what the Royal Merchant usually sold, but he couldn't help but buy it if it was so expensive.

All penicillins purchased at the Royal Merchant Store, regardless of identity, must be purchased and injected on site, and are not allowed to be taken away.

How could Chongzhen leave some bugs for them to exploit when something like this can earn the enemy's hard-earned money?

As for whether the high-priced external sales were taken away by the enemy, he didn't care. Could it be that if Jiannu died a few people, he could stop his airdrop offensive?

"Master, how many should we order? We can take them away for delivery in two days."

"So fast? Then order two thousand penicillin first. This stuff is also the best for Jiannu, Mongolians, and even those peoples further north.

And it's easy to transport. How much money can you make just by selling some spices? When the time comes, you can sell penicillin for 100 taels a piece, or you can exchange it for ten horses.

After changing the horse, you can drag it into the customs and do business with the royal merchants. This business is much better than reselling some firearms and gunpowder."

Kong Lianli calculated that 220,000 shi of grain, even if the price quoted by the Royal Merchant Company was 100 yuan, would still be 22 million, which was enough to buy a lot of things.

Moreover, the profit margins at both ends also made him even more excited. If Royal Merchant said it would not accept it at this time, he would cry to death.

"Sir, I'll sign the paperwork with them right away. If it's after today, I won't be able to place an order. Large quantities will have to wait for the next batch."

After Kong Lian waited for the servant to leave, he planned in the house how to promote the things. After all, 100 taels was enough to buy only ginseng.

In order for those wealthy people to buy this life-saving penicillin, they must know how to use it.

With the exact amount ordered, the servant quickly left the bank and headed to the royal merchant house.

After handing over the specific quantity of goods needed and agreeing on the quantity of materials ordered, the order was finally completed.

In the afternoon, after Wang Chengen inspected the learning progress of the new batch of royal students, he stopped by the royal merchant house and brought copies of the accumulated purchase orders back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the bookkeeper has already looked at it. For the large amount, there is only one more order from the Kong family."

"Kong family? Yesterday they said they wanted to exchange 220,000 shi of grain, and they have already signed the paperwork today?

And why is it only the Kong family? Aren’t you asked to notify other grain merchants to exchange?”

Chongzhen thought about it and remembered that the content of last night's report contained Kong Lianli's initial intention.

But he really couldn't figure out that he was the only one who handled the big orders until the end. Zhili was involved in the grain price purchase, and there were four or five large merchants with grain stocks of more than 100,000 dan.

The Qiao family has been replaced in advance, and the new successor of the Fan family has not yet arrived, leaving them without a leader. Now that the Kong family is out, the only ones left are the two southern grain merchants.

"Those two families are still insisting. According to the monitoring content, they are waiting for the capital to run out of food."

"Is that so? This group of southern gentry is really true. If Taizu were still here, they would have to kill them all.

When I finish dealing with the issue of slave creation and the plague, I must let these people know what I mean by commanding a gun."

Chongzhen said bitterly and wanted to understand this.

Only a small part of the grain merchants in Zhili learned from Kong Lianli, and the others were still stable. These people were the grain merchants in the south.

In their opinion, as long as the Zheng family's affairs are passed on, for the sake of profit, the South will also prevent the Zheng family from buying southern grain, so the North will still have to rely on Cao grain.

They are continuing to wait, waiting for the famine in the south to become more serious, so that they can have a chance to recover their losses, instead of trading military bonds with the Royal Merchant Company at a loss like now.

Among the products that military coupons can buy, industrial products are attractive to them.

As for medicines, there are no channels for border troops, and war artifacts like penicillin cannot be sold to foreigners, so they will not be of much use.

The Royal Merchant Company's previous slogan was one tael of silver and two hundred military coupons, but suddenly it became one stone and one hundred military coupons.

Calculate this, doesn't it mean that they have lost half of their lives? Their brains are definitely not willing to do so, they might as well exchange it with silver.

Well, it has been known since ancient times that if you don't make money as expected, you will lose money.

"Your Majesty, the Kong family exchanged a total of 22 million military coupons, including 2,000 penicillins, 12 million.

One hundred bicycles, thirteen incense and one hundred shi, and there are still six million left for subsequent purchases."

"It's really a big deal, I spent 160,000 shi of food in one go.

Hahahaha, 160,000 shi of food, earn with blood, earn with blood."

Chongzhen calculated the score secretly in his heart, and his eyes almost disappeared from laughter.

Chen Ye quoted him a price of 10 yuan for a syringe, 10 yuan for a glass bottle of liquid, and 10 yuan for a penicillin.

To him, two thousand hundred pieces was equivalent to sixty thousand yuan, but in exchange, he received a full twelve thousand stones of grain and one hundred thousand taels.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen was shocked.

"Hey, no wonder the shop owner said that the most profitable business is medicine. This is really as good as gold."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have also heard outside that because of Zheng Zhibao's experiment, penicillin has become famous as a miracle antipyretic.

Along with the company’s other medicines, people with corresponding illnesses have made reservations. Many people are waiting for the royal company’s tonics to be put on the shelves, and the wealthy people in the city have already signed the full payment order documents.”

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction. The money earned from medicine was much faster than selling the hard-earned things.

April 10th, modern day.

Chen Ye has honestly not gone to Ming Dynasty in the past few days, mainly because he has been traveling a lot recently and his body is a little overwhelmed.

I continued to check on the progress of the bicycles and asked Xiao Zhize again, and found out that the factories that had closed down had already begun repairing equipment and preparing to pack it up.

Seeing that nothing was going on, he took out his cell phone and sent a calling voice to his cows and horses.

Unfortunately, the summoning spell failed this time because the summoned beast was too far away.

"I'm still at the film special effects production company, and all the screenwriters here are here. It'll be almost an hour since I got back."

"There's no need to come. I'm coming over. I happen to have two more films for them to combine."

As soon as Chen Ye heard this, he became energetic and drove over according to Su Qingfa's address.

That's right, Chen Ye doesn't even know the specific address.

But it's normal. There's nothing to gain from filming a drama, so he doesn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, the filming shouldn't be too bad. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, it will be completely realistic.

Chen Ye definitely has the right to say this. When he was a child, he watched Journey to the West on TV with great interest, even if there were no flaws. But when he grew up, it would be fake at first glance.

After driving to Nanshan District, which has the largest IT industry, Chen Ye parked the car, and together with Su Qing who came over, they took the temporary access control and entered the building of the special effects company through the turnstile.

"It's not bad. It's worthy of being among the top in the film and television special effects industry."

When Su Qing signed the contract, the corresponding documents had already been shown to Chen Ye, so there was no need for Su Qing to introduce them from the beginning.

"Of course, one of the reasons for choosing them is their large scale.

And the corresponding ancient models are sufficient and can be filled quickly."

After the elevator door opened, Su Qing reached out and pressed the button. After Chen Ye went out, she quickly walked forward and continued to lead Chen Ye to the special effects company's office.

In the office, the manager of the special effects company greeted Chen Ye politely and then got down to business.

"Mr. Chen, this is a demonstration put together by our company using existing plot outlines and Ming Dynasty movies on the market to show you the full content.

The real film has been produced for two days, and the entire backbone has been built. Only the AI ​​face-changing of the actors and post-editing are left. The second video shows the specific progress and excerpts.

If there are any scenes that you think need to be modified, you can click pause during that time period and we will record it. The film producers on the floor below are also there, so they can make additions or subtractions immediately."

The business manager of the special effects company introduced to Chen Ye that Chen Ye had given permission to put together the content, otherwise it would be a joke.

Let people work on the script for three days, do the demo for two days, and then produce a 60-minute purely original film in one week? This is something that even gods can't do.

Chen Ye watched it based on the plot, and it was consistent with the previous outline. The details could be blurred. In short, what he wanted to make was a bad movie used to promote Chongzhen in the early stage.

In less than a year, this film will be remade by Chongzhen, and a new masterpiece will be shot in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty. The original film will be completely lost in the long river of time as the disk is shattered.

"I'm quite satisfied with the result. It's just that everyone worked overtime and worked overtime to complete it. I will see the finished product in three days."

By the way, this is the actor Chongzhen I found, who is also the financial backer of this film. You should try your best to use those beautiful looks and special effects to give him a makeover."

"Okay, let's get started after the meeting is over, and let's work together to get the characters in."

The business manager breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Ye was satisfied, and now everyone no longer had to worry about Party A making things difficult for him.
