Having too many people does not necessarily make things easier, and sometimes having too many hands or too many mouths can lead to internal friction. Real efficiency lies in a professional team with a common program and organizational discipline, and the New Alliance is transforming towards this goal.
Four vice presidents of Huanxiang Industrial went to work as assistants to Charles and brought with them 200 new members, 150 of whom were incorporated into the patrol team by Li Jingzhi.
The patrol team is established as a reinforced company. In addition to patrolling, its daily tasks include training. The training is divided into military training, cultural training and ideological propaganda training. They are paid, and their life arrangements are extremely fulfilling. In short, they cannot be idle.
Make trouble.
Huazhenxing asked Charles to do a favor and spread the news about the grocery store's purchase of mining gold at a high price. If this business really wants to start, it will also need the new alliance and its subordinate patrols.
In fact, there is no need to let everyone in Fiso Port know the news. In a place with no native language and lack of modern media means, this is not possible in the short term. Charles only needs to contact those who have a cooperative relationship with Jindianxing
Old customers, most of them are gang or tribal leaders who purchase and collect scattered gold.
The indigenous people used simple tools to find some gold, and it was impossible to directly take it to the Golden Dian Bank for trading. These people bought or collected it from them. There are also connections between these people. As long as Shire can contact one of them
A few means that everyone has been notified.
Charles testified with personal experience that the purchase price of the old man's grocery store was twice as high as that of Jindian Hang. He made fun of a batch of mine gold and went to Jindian Hang to sell it. As a result, Jindian Hang's asking price was only three thousand meters of gold, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
The birds were flying up to the sky. I heard that the old man’s grocery store also bought gold, so he ran over and sold six thousand meters of gold!
Laotou Grocery Store is what the locals call the grocery store opened by Yang Tehong, because the boss is an old man. The average life expectancy here is only in his early thirties, and old men themselves are rare, which is a very prominent feature. It
The location was originally not within the territory of the Big Head Gang, but at the junction of the territories of two small gangs not far from the Big Head Gang.
Now, with the Big Head Gang reorganizing into the new alliance and quickly eradicating a number of surrounding small gangs, Lao Tou Grocery Store is already on the edge of the new alliance's territory.
Charles also promised everyone that if they go to the old man's grocery store to sell gold, the new alliance will ensure everyone's safety. If you can't find the place, just ask the patrol members, and the patrol members will take the initiative to lead the way and act as temporary bodyguards. The first one to come to the door,
He was not a gang leader but an elder of a tribe. He sold ten ounces of mine gold and, as Charles said, he got back six thousand meters of gold.
After a visit in the morning, the elder came again in the afternoon and brought more than two kilograms of mineral gold. Huazhenxing bought it all at the price.
Most of the local people actually belonged to one tribe. Later, the colonists artificially divided them into three tribes and instigated them behind the scenes, which led to a series of civil strife. As far as Hua Zhenxing knows, the so-called Guru language,
Watu and Sita are actually the same language, but their pronunciation is slightly different, just like the dialects of different regions in the East.
The big tribe is divided into many small tribes based on bloodline, settlement area and the village to which they belonged before migration. The elder's name is Sanders, and his tribe has several hundred people living by the Feso River on the southeastern outskirts of the city.
The young members of the clan work on the plantations on weekdays and pan for gold on the riverbed during the rainy season.
The gold mined by each person was very small, often only a few grains, and they did not want to sell it to the middlemen who came to buy it, so as not to be exploited again for nothing, so they pooled together to save more than ten ounces, and then the clan leader took it.
Go to Jindianxing to sell. This is already a very smart and organized approach.
Sanders is the most knowledgeable person in the entire tribe. At least he can speak English, and he also knows how to use checks to go to the bank. He has also been to the grocery store to buy things. After hearing the latest news, he is the most motivated
Yes, I first took ten ounces for testing, and then took all the gold collected in the tribe.
Sanders did not ask for all the rice gold. He asked for one-third of the rice gold and two-thirds of the kilograms.
Hua Zhenxing chatted with this forty-year-old elder for a long time and inquired about a lot of information. In fact, the total amount of gold mined by this tribe every year is only seven or eight ounces, which is not enough to directly go to Jindianxing for trading, but they have already
I have been shopping for more than ten years and have accumulated a lot. Every time I need money, I sell ten ounces.
In fact, mineral gold can also be circulated locally. When doing transactions between tribes, mineral gold is sometimes paid, because this item can be exchanged for money at the Jindian Bank at any time. In a sense, it is equivalent to cash. I really didn’t expect that Jindian
The existence of the bank has become a credit endorsement for the circulation of private mining gold, but they have kept the purchase price too low.
Although there are no accurate statistical data on the total annual local mining gold output, it is estimated that it will not exceed one ton. The inventory of Jindian Bank should not exceed this amount. These cannot meet the acquisition needs of Huazhen Bank. But according to Sander
From the situation introduced by Si, it can be inferred that many local people actually have a lot of mineral gold in their hands, and not all of it has been sold to Jindian Bank.
When the news of the grocery store spreads, these people will probably come to sell it, because the price is twice as high as usual, it is simply an opportunity to make money!
Huazhenxing also learned that every time Sanders went to Jindianxing to sell gold, Jindianxing paid him the local currency of the Kingdom of Li. If you think about it carefully, Jindianxing gave Charles some face last time. Look at how Charles was wearing it.
The way he dresses and talks and behaves, he should be a person with status. At least he can speak with confidence. If he wants Mi Jin, he will give Mi Jin.
After Sanders returned, people came to sell gold mines one after another, but they were basically small transactions. Some people only had tens of grams or even a few grams in their hands, and they came specifically to ask Huazhen Bank if they would accept it? Huazhen Bank would come to them no matter how much.
No one refuses, the electronic weighing scale can be accurate to 0.01 grams, even if there are only a few grams of gold ore, it will not hinder the transaction.
The asking price of Jindianxing that day was US$3,000 for ten ounces of mine gold. One ounce is equivalent to 31.1 grams. Calculated based on a purity of 70%, the actual purchase price of pure gold is 13.8 meters of gold per gram.
The purchase price of Huazhenxing is doubled, which is 27.6 meters of gold per gram when converted into pure gold. This is multiplied by the purity of the mined gold. The purity of local mined gold is almost the same, around 70%. Huazhenxing
The purchase price of each gram of mined gold is close to twenty meters of gold.
In order to maintain order and ensure safety, Li Jingzhi specially sent a platoon of patrols. One squad patrolled the periphery of the area, one squad was responsible for guarding the neighborhoods around the grocery store, and one squad stood guard at the door of the grocery store. Hua Zhenxing was afraid.
Everyone was tired, so we specially brought stools for them to sit on, prepared cigarettes and drinks, and held up two large umbrellas.
It was easiest to sit on duty at the door of the grocery store, so Li Jingzhi decided to rotate three shifts. As for the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, one led the patrol outside, and the other stood by the counter inside the grocery store, supervising at all times.
transaction process.
In fact, Huazhenxing does not need so many people to protect it, but it cannot deny people's good intentions, and this is an opportunity to show the new alliance to the outside world. Let everyone see that this place is orderly, safe and full of vitality. The new alliance
He manages the affairs in the territory very well, renews the atmosphere, and has strong strength at the same time.
On the third day of business, the place was already very lively. Li Jingzhi personally came to supervise the counter. There was also an incident that day. Three black men who didn't know where they came from actually adulterated the mine gold.
Hua Zhenxing saw it at a glance, and then gave a price based on the purity of the adulteration. As a result, these people were not satisfied and wanted to cause trouble.
Huazhenxing declared on the spot that the mine gold was adulterated, and also pointed out how much was adulterated. He also told them that if they were not satisfied with the asking price, they could take it to Jindianxing to sell it. But the three big men did not leave.
Li Jingzhi took them out of the door and dragged them to the alley behind the grocery store. The screams they heard were very miserable.
Accompanied by screams one after another, Li Jingzhi greeted the customers in front of the door with a smile, telling everyone not to worry about it and to continue selling gold when it was time to sell it. He also explained the reason why those people were beaten. He took the gold just now.
It came out and was shaken through a sieve in front of everyone, and it was obviously divided into two parts.
He took out some of the mined gold and put it in a tray, and burned it with a small spray gun. It was obvious on the spot that it was fake. The onlookers all expressed their indignation and expressed that it was a good beating... The transaction continued.
Hua Zhenxing was sitting at the counter but felt something was not right. The three boys behind him were screaming too much. The sound was too loud and lasted for too long. You and I were all out of tune. Could it be that they were asking for help?
He spied on it specially and found that it was indeed a commission, and it should have been arranged by Li Jingzhi.
This rich and powerful man, a retired officer of the former Eastern Kingdom, actually had such cunning methods, and he did not tell Hua Zhenxing in advance. This may be called a soldier who is not afraid of deceit.
The scene in the first three days seemed lively, but in fact the harvest was not great. A total of more than fifty kilograms of mine gold was collected, which was far from reaching Hua Zhenxing's expected goal. He wanted to refine pure gold that was the same size as himself, weighing more than a pound.
At three tons, converted into unrefined ore gold, it would be almost two tons.
The biggest customer so far is Elder Sanders who came to the door on the first day. I learned from Elder Sanders that there is still a lot of mineral gold stored in the hands of various people in Feso Port, and it will definitely not be enough.
In a few days, I could only receive a few dozen kilograms.
People with a large amount of inventory in their hands were waiting and watching. They were all old customers who had cooperated with Jindianxing. Huazhenxing was also waiting, and he believed that he was not the one who lost his temper first. On the fourth day, he waited
Signs of the crisis finally appeared when a local native, accompanied by two bodyguards, came to sell ten ounces of gold.
Hua Zhenxing knew something was wrong with these three people at a glance. First of all, the boss didn't look like a boss at all. His eyes were flickering and his breath was vain. He seemed to be very unsure and scared, but he pretended as if nothing had happened. If this person just came here
When selling mineral gold, one should not be afraid of the patrols around him, so what does he feel guilty about?
As for the two bodyguards who stayed outside the door, it was even more wrong. Normally, bodyguards should focus on the boss at all times, but these two people had no such awareness at all. They seemed to be more interested in the grocery store and the surrounding environment.
Just sell things. The man had to ask around for a long time, and finally asked Huazhenxing what currency he could give and what kind of check he could write. Huazhenxing told him that rice gold, Dongguo currency, and several miles of currency were all fine.
I wrote a check from the local Dongguo Bank. After getting the check, the man was not happy about making a fortune. He also asked whether the check was genuine and whether it could be exchanged.
Huazhenxing told him that each party could send one person to the bank to cash the check together, and the gold would be deposited on the counter first. As a result, the person actually sent a bodyguard to go to the bank with the check, and the platoon leader here also followed him.
Go and confirm that everything is correct before completing the transaction.
In the afternoon, another big customer with yellow hair and fair skin came, driving a jeep with four bodyguards. Before the car reached the door of the grocery store, it was stopped by a patrol on duty outside the street. They brought a total of
They bought 5,000 ounces of gold, equivalent to more than 300 kilograms, which one person could not carry. They divided it into 100 boxes and packed it in ten suitcases.
This is an astonishingly big deal. At least I have never seen anyone in the local area trade so much gold at one time. According to the purchase price of Huazhen Bank, the transaction volume is almost 300 meters of gold. This big customer looked proud.
He always looked at Huazhenxing with a critical eye, as if he thought he couldn't afford it, but also seemed to think that this grocery store was not worthy of doing this kind of business.
Hua Zhenxing was secretly happy, but looked embarrassed. He said sorry and wanted to make a phone call, and then went to the backyard to make a call. He didn't know who he chatted with for a long time before returning to the counter. The customers were impatient to wait.
Then the goods were weighed and inspected in batches. Such a large quantity was very time-consuming. By the end, Huazhenxing was sweating and took a towel to wipe it off.
At this time, he answered another phone call. He didn't know what the other party said. After hanging up, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. When the weighing and inspection was completed, he wrote a check to the long-awaited customer, with trepidation.
He watched him leave with a look on his face and bowed deeply behind the counter.
When Hua Zhenxing raised his head again, although he did not laugh out loud, he was grinning with his teeth almost exposed. The gold that the man sent was exactly three thousand ounces, which had been accurately weighed and divided.
It is packed into boxes of fifty ounces, which is abnormal in itself. The only one in the entire Fiso Port that can take out so much gold in stock at one time is Jindian Bank.
At the same time, in the back room of Jindian Branch, four people were sitting there drinking. The gang leader Boris, his deputy Kelly, and Peng Kang seemed to be sitting in a wrong position. It was obvious that the usually inconspicuous inspector Locke was at the center.
Peng Kang, the manager of Jindian Bank, answered the phone and said in a reporting tone: "Sir, Shuzhuzi has returned, and the other party has eaten all the five thousand ounces."
Shuzhuzi is the person they sent to do the transaction. That's what his name means, or it's called Zhizhi, but it's not a deliberately derogatory name.
