At least it is certain that there is still room for profit when he buys the furs he owns. But that is the fact. Wang Defa is not Zhou Li'an's biological father, so it is impossible to work for him in vain.
Everyone wants to have a good meal.
However, the price increase to 4,200 dollars in the future will definitely be an unexpected surprise.
It proves that this old man has two skills and can find serious sales channels.
This is something Zhou Li'an cannot accomplish by himself. Unless he is willing to spend a lot of time and energy to find a new buyer and make profit concessions, a new trusting and cooperative relationship can be achieved.
Zhou Li'an obviously doesn't have this skill.
He is in urgent need of money.
In addition, as a middleman, Wang Defa also has a risk-sharing relationship.
The two sales totaled nearly 300 furs. A transaction of this scale could easily attract the attention of relevant authorities.
If Wang Defa wants to continue to earn this profit difference, he must bear the risks arising from gray transactions.
"Then I'll do as you say. Starting from the next transaction, the price of bison leather will be raised to 4,200 dollars." Zhou Li'an looked at him seriously.
There was a hint of threat in his eyes.
Wang Defa felt the deep meaning in his eyes and said with a smile:
"Haha, don't worry, Zhou Sheng. We are all businessmen. Honesty is the first principle. What's more, don't deceive your own people."
"When can the furs be delivered?"
Zhou Li'an said: "It depends on when you can prepare the money."
"Money is not a problem! How about tomorrow?"
"Do you have that much cash?"
"In Chinatown, cash is never a problem. If you want to transfer money to a bank, it's a bit troublesome. You know, we Chinese have two ledgers when doing business."
"So, you want cash?"
Wang Defa looked at Zhou Li'an with interest.
The IRS is notorious, so the accounting industry in the United States has always been at its peak, and wealthy people will find ways to avoid taxes reasonably.
The IRS was established during the Civil War. At that time, a large number of Chinese had already taken root in the United States and formed a force that cannot be underestimated.
Gangs like cash because it is not easy to be audited, and they have countless channels to use lizard money.
Wang Defa's expression at this time was full of meaning.
Just because they can absorb large amounts of cash does not mean that others have this ability.
Zhou Li'an knew what he was testing and smiled: "I don't care, cash transfer is fine."
In the end, the money was given to the system.
The system digests it directly, and there are no loopholes in checking at all.
When Wang Defa heard this, he remained calm, but took a deep breath, and had a new assessment of the background of the young man in front of him.
The two agreed to meet at noon tomorrow, and the meeting place was changed to the warehouse behind the grocery street.
Zhou Li'an is not afraid of him taking advantage of others.
And now Wang Defa also knows that Zhou Li'an is not afraid.
Wait until he leaves.
Wang Defa frowned and murmured to himself: "This young man is not simple. Can he digest nearly one million in cash?"
"Damn it, he was able to get so many buffalo hides. Is it true that he has a close relationship with a big shot in a certain reservation? And the cash goes directly to the Indian casino for digestion?"
"Since when can Chinese people mix with Indians?"
"Or……"
"Is this guy the son-in-law who married the daughter of an Indian chief?"
"Well, it's very possible."
When Zhou Li'an drove away, he was still very cautious. After going around several times, he returned to the farm in the suburbs.
The last time he left the tribe, he didn't leave any advent oracle behind.
So I’m not in a hurry to come back recently.
Give the workers more time, and there might be another good harvest next time. A large tribe with more than 500 people, even if they don't deliberately hunt bison for Zhou Li'an, they still need to rely on hunting to make a living.
Bison are inexhaustible.
On the contrary, when Zhou Li'an was considering future development plans, he still had to worry about how to get rid of tens of millions of North American bison.
The reason why the United States massacred bison until the species was on the verge of extinction was to make money from the fur and horn business.
On the other hand, it is to reduce the living space of the indigenous people.
The indigenous people have relied on hunting for a living since ancient times. When they had no source of survival materials, they had no choice but to make exchanges and compromises with the colonists.
Finally, the construction and maintenance of railway systems are easily damaged by bison.
Zhou Li'an had no intention of raising up a nation of horses and waiting for the colonists to play a game of horse racing and chasing.
The imperial territory is sacred and inviolable.
Construction of railway network to connect the whole country.
Anyone who dares to land will be transported by train, swept by AK, and captured prisoners sent to lay railroad tracks and grow cotton.
You can get a sense of the picture instantly.
Of course, this is still a beautiful fantasy for the time being.
The specific reality depends on careful planning after activating the system. Even if the system does not have extraordinary functions...
As long as you give yourself enough time and use the scientific research materials available for future generations to climb up the technology tree, your dreams will not just be dreams, they will eventually come true.
night.
Zhou Li'an has planned several goals for the near future.
As a time and space tycoon, he used furs to make a lot of money.
Continue to provide salt to the tribes, expand trade between tribes, expand population and economic strength, and at the same time understand the distribution of tribes in this area.
The ultimate goal in a short time——
Destroy or subdue the tribes belonging to their superiors, rule the entire region, and begin to advance towards the southern region.
San Francisco is a must visit.
There are drawbacks to the fur business, but gold is different.
In this world, several pieces of private land and even abandoned mines were bought, and eventually a large amount of gold was mined continuously.
You don't need to reason with anyone.
…
The next day.
Zhou Li'an estimated the time to set off.
At the entrance of a factory alley behind the grocery street, the young man he met last time was waiting and took him to Wang Defa's warehouse.
When Zhou Li'an got off the bus, Wang Defa shook hands and hugged him affectionately, acting as if we were good friends who have been friends for many years.
In fact, the old man was also worried that Zhou Li'an would take advantage of others and swallow up hundreds of thousands of his cash, so he brought his younger brother with him.
When he saw a cart full of furs, his eyes stopped laughing.
"Beautiful, all come from pretty goods."
This inspection took a long time.
Check it out to avoid shoddy products.
After spending more than three hours, Wang Defa said with a tired face: "It's hard to make money, and shit is hard to eat. Youngster, have you seen it? Uncle, I also have to work hard to make money."
The two young men could only nod and smile in apology.
My heart said, aren't you just lucky enough to meet a stupid young man?
Who knows where these goods came from?
To put it mildly, they are called middlemen.
To put it bluntly, isn’t he just a scalper?
"Asen, give me the money."
Click click click, two large money counting machines started counting.
After a while, 779,000 U.S. dollars were counted. The two young men tied up the banknotes neatly. It looked like they were very skilled in business. The bank tellers would call them experts when they saw it.
Zhou Li'an did not check the authenticity, put the money in his bag and drove away.
Before leaving, Wang Defa also said: "The day after tomorrow, let's have dinner together the day after tomorrow. I will be the host of Fumanlou in Chinatown, and Zhou Sheng will definitely appreciate it."
Zhou Li'an extended his hand out of the window and waved as a farewell.
Wait until he leaves.
The two young men laughed and said, "You are a fool. You don't even want to check whether the money is genuine. Are you afraid that we will give you counterfeit money?"
"Uncle, if you ask me, you can swallow him next time."
Wang Defa looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.
People don't check banknotes because they are not afraid of getting counterfeit banknotes.
If something goes wrong afterwards, it won't be solved with money, it will have to be paid for with your life.
He had made up his mind not to follow these two people in the next transaction.
I'm not afraid that Zhou Li'an will take advantage of others, but I'm afraid that these two idiots are pig teammates and will ruin this lucrative business.
