"The latest Madeira wine shipped, Mr. Nareshkin, do you want to buy some?" On the street opposite Nareshkin Building, a man with a red cloth scarf on his head and a sailor-like appearance shouted loudly. While shouting, he also patted the oak barrel beside him to attract Oleg's attention.

"Dignity Mr. Nareshkin, it's time to change your formal outfit. According to the latest popular styles in Qingdao Port, we have designed a new Chinese gentleman's outfit, silk and wool-blend fabric, which is very good. I think this is very important for you to attend high-class gatherings." A middle-aged man with glass eyes on his nose was sitting in his small shop and said with a smile: "Even if you don't need it, your servant needs a relatively decent wool-breasted jacket. I have been working as a professional tailor for twenty years and will never disappoint you."

"The delicious seafood risotto, everyone who has eaten it said was OK. Mr. Nareshkin, it's already noon, it's time to sit down and enjoy some delicious food. I have left you a quiet room. If you don't want to, I can also send lunch to your office in Nareshkin Building. Free!" Another fat chef came out of the house and said in a flattering tone.

"Mr. Nareshkin, the new Indian magic oil..."

"Mr. Nareshkin, the best Virginia tobacco..."

As soon as Oleg entered the Nareshkin Building within 50 meters of the Nareshkin Building, the sound of selling his own goods or services sounded in his ears, which made him very helpless and proud. Everyone nearby knew that the young master Oleg from Russia was young and rich, and his work was generous. The salary of servants, bodyguards, housekeepers and others was 1.5 times the market evaluation price, which was quite impressive. Moreover, he was a shareholder of the Yanbu Railway and was invited to attend every shareholder meeting. He was also the owner of the Nareshkin Building, a landmark building in Nancun Port. His future money was self-evident, so he was very popular among local merchants in Nancun Port.

Seeing these merchants attracting business, Oleg smiled and nodded to them, but did not stop, but went straight into the Nareshkin Building. There were several offices exclusively for him on the ground floor of the building. He rested here for a while, then ate a few pieces of fried steak for lunch, and then took his entourage out of the building and turned into a comprehensive market more than 100 meters away from the building.

Although the family kept remitting funds to him, this did not mean that Oleg planned to do nothing and wait for money passively. In fact, there were still some young people who were also planning to start a career by themselves. For this reason, he specially bought an old 650-ton ship in the Qingdao Port ship market, preparing to purchase various commodities on the east coast and then transported them back to Russia for sale to make profits.

Some people may say that Russia has cut off trade with the East Coast now? Well, if we analyze it carefully, it is actually just that the Russian Empire unilaterally refused to dock trade in merchant ships from the East Coast, but the East Coast Republic has never issued a ban on Russian merchants. Although Russians who go abroad to trade by sea are rare.

Therefore, Oleg really planned to buy some rare Russian goods on the east coast and go back to sell them. The place where he purchased the goods was undoubtedly a comprehensive market located in the commercial town of Nancungang.

The comprehensive market opens every day. At six in the morning, the drums at the market management office were slewed in fifty times. Vendors, handicraftsmen and dentists flocked in and took their place to sell goods. And by five in the afternoon, the market management office would ring the bell fifty times, signaling everyone to retreat, and then send a special person to clean up and wait for business again tomorrow.

There are many nearby farmers selling fruits and melons in the market. As soon as Oleg entered the market gate, he saw them. Those people walnuts and sat on straw mats, with seasonal fruits such as walnuts, melons, dates, apricots, mulberries, sour plums, watermelons, etc. Although they are not as sweet and juicy as those in the Chubut River and Ludang River Basins, they are also quite good and the price is even cheaper, so they are very popular.

Oleg bought a bag casually and gave it to several followers to eat, while he continued to move forward with his double-collection business. He was honest and didn't know what to buy, but he thought it would be very good to buy some daily necessities and small commodities with East Coast characteristics. When he was still living in Moscow, the East Coast had a very good relationship with Russia. At that time, some goods from the East Coast were quite popular among the aristocratic class in Moscow. Many people also like to learn Chinese because they all knew that the East Coast's national strength was very strong, and it was probably even stronger than the United Provinces and England. It was not shameful to learn everything on the East Coast, but on the contrary, it was a very stylish thing.

Now that Russia and the East Coast are in a feud, Oleg is not sure whether the view of the upper class in Moscow has changed, but he tends to think that there is no. The Russian upper class aristocrats are not stupid people who know nothing. In fact, many people who are proficient in French, Latin, and Dutch have been paying attention to the external situation all year round and knowing the power of the East Coast Republic from many angles. They dare to send fleets to bombard the coast of Portugal and block the ports of France, and cannot match the Dutch in the sea coachman. This kind of majesty is really rare in comparison to the upper class of Russian Russians. All of these have planted the impression of the strong East Coast in the hearts of the upper class of Russians. When the East Coast is strong, their things are naturally the best and naturally have the value of learning. Therefore, Oleg does not think that the goods on the East Coast will be unsold in Russia, even though the relationship between the two countries is at a low point.

"Dyeed leather boots..." When I visited a shop that specialized in various leather jackets and leather boots, Oleg stopped to walk. The dyed leather goods on the east coast have always been exported and are deeply loved by people from all over the European countries. Oleg planned to buy some.

Moreover, these leather boots have a strong East Coast style, long boots, short boots, and some are inlaid with beautiful patterns, which makes people love it very much. Compared with those leather boots in Russia that are rough, hard, and even colorless, East Coast boots, short boots are not only very novel in style, but also in terms of texture and comfort, they are also similar products from other continental countries. In addition, there is also a kind of boots worn in snow mud on the East Coast, which is very practical and should also have a market in Russia. Oleg also plans to increase procurement efforts.

In addition, there are some pointed and round-toed high-heeled boots worn by women on the market. Oleg looked left and right and couldn't make up his mind to buy them. This kind of thing is really rare in Russia, and he is not sure that the families of nobles or wealthy businessmen are willing to buy these strange boots, although they have some beautiful patterns such as flowers, birds, fish and insects on it.

However, if you don’t buy high heel boots, you can buy some of the other “flower shoes” that are more popular among the East Coast ladies. The soles of this shoe are generally leather, and the top ones may be made of high-end fur such as whale skin and seal skin. The uppers are made of brocade and silk, with various patterns embroidered on them, which is very beautiful. If the customer specially customizes them, the upper can also be decorated with gems and other decorations, which is even more expensive.

Oleg intends to buy more of this kind of women's shoes with the traditional East Coast cultural characteristics. The fashion trend in Moscow is still very chaotic. The popular styles from Paris, Amsterdam and even Italy can profoundly affect this capital in the eastern continent. Given the great success of the East Coast in the past few decades and their increasing influence in international affairs, the popular style from Oriental Port or Qingdao Port will also profoundly affect Moscow. Although they are a little far from Europe, their strong national strength and mighty fleet have made very good "advertising" for this country. Nowadays, Europe has a large number of people yearning for this country. Considering these, Oleg ordered the purchase of many clothing and shoes and boots without hesitation, intending to ship them to Russia to see the direction of the wind.

There is also a magical corner in the comprehensive market, that is, shops selling various musical instruments. These people's stores are not big, but there are often some manufacturing workshops behind them, providing customers with various customized services, namely the so-called "front store and back shop" structure.

In terms of musical instruments, to be honest, the East Coast products are more competitive. As we all know, the New Continent of America has high-quality wood that is far more suitable for making musical instruments than the Eurasian continent. The East Coast people fully developed this advantage and produced various musical instruments in China, many of which were invented by themselves, such as pianos, etc. Among these instruments, the most famous ones produced by the sea engraving instrument factory, which owns the Mo family, but Oleg did not intend to buy such expensive brand products. He planned to buy some relatively low-priced craftsmen's own musical instruments, which would make his profit margin larger.

Piano, erhu, pipa, Zhongruan, violin, guitar, flute, panflute, organ, etc., buy as much as possible. Even after sweeping the spot stock, he paid a lot of deposit and ordered an additional batch. These instruments, in Russia, where the art of music has just staggered, should still be sold. After all, many nobles or wealthy businessmen are willing to let their children learn these things in order to improve the style and taste of their families, so that they can have some amazing talent performances at parties.

Of course, in addition to musical instruments, some music scores and music scores on the East Coast should be purchased as much as possible. Especially some music magazines, Oleg is preparing to make great efforts to search, strive to buy every issue, and then publish and sell it in Moscow. Anyway, with the current bad relationship between Russia and the East Coast, no one will chase after you to sue copyright issues, not to mention that the Russians don’t care about these at all.

Oleg spent the whole afternoon picking goods in the comprehensive market and placing orders (many of them are just orders, and the actual delivery may have to go to other places), until the bell rings at the closing market. And when he finished all this and had time to sit down and have a cup of tea in the Nareshkin Building, he had time to sigh: Nancun Port seemed just a dirty and chaotic small market a few years ago. As a result, after developing in the past few years, it has become the most important commercial center south of the La Plata River. Countless merchants deliver food, meat, leather, various machinery, tools and daily necessities here. The daily trade volume is probably not much smaller than that of Moscow, which is also surprising.

Oleg is now increasingly grateful that he seized the opportunity. When everyone was still worried, he took the lead and planned investment in Yanbu Railway and Nancun Port, gaining favorable impressions from the East Coast Railway Department, while also laying a solid foundation for the future of the Nareshkin family.

The people on the east coast of Yanbu Railway have established many counties and townships, immigrating hundreds of thousands of people and producing huge wealth, Oleg is very satisfied with this. What makes him even more excited is that he heard that the people on the east coast are planning to set up some new settlements west of Yanbu Railway to make full use of this railway that was built at a high cost. You must know that this railway runs across the entire East Pampa area, but currently there are only dense villages and towns and populations east of the railway. On the west side where the railway can also radiate, there are not many people on the east coast, which is undoubtedly a great waste.

Oleg, who has participated in the latest Yanbu Railway shareholders' meeting, knew that the East Coast people were determined to correct the current abnormal situation, that is, they had made up their minds to advance this work in the near future, relocating more than 10,000 settlers to the west of the railway to develop the same fertile land.

Mr. Chen Jia, the president of the American Railway Company, also confirmed this in his private chat with Oleg. They seemed to not care about the Spanish's reaction at all, and only seriously thought about the financial difficulties that immigrants may cause rather than political obstacles. General Manager Chen mentioned the operation of the railway affiliated areas, believing that more than one hundred workshops or factories of various types have been established in the affiliated areas, and the material wealth produced is enough to support colonial activities west of the railway. He even smiled and said to Oleg that once a large-scale colonial activity west of the Yanbu Railway becomes a reality, the income of the railway affiliated areas will rise sharply, and the financial situation of the Yanbu Railway and even the American Railway Company will be greatly improved. As a shareholder of the railway, Oleg can naturally share his income.

Oleg was very excited about this wonderful promise, and at the same time carefully considered his current asset status to see if he wanted to participate in this destined and full of opportunities for colonial expansion. It was precisely because of this idea that he now wanted to make some money and enrich the working capital at hand as soon as possible so that he could be one step ahead in the future, but this seemed to require a commercial investigation first.
