How to pronounce “carnes” in English

So the Carnes merchants operated a bit like our Walmart today.

And the Carnes convinced other China trade merchants to go in with them on sending vessels to China

So in 1811, Nathaniel Carnes went to China as a young merchant on his father's boat,

So secondly, the Carnes would heavily invest in very inexpensive native Chinese goods

The changes in the commercial economy that the Carnes cousins were bringing forward disrupted traditional family values

That's the way Afong Moy would have been serving as a brander for the Carnes' merchandise.

According to a contemporary account, the Carnes brought in so much, so many goods, thousands upon thousands of fireworks,

This looks like a warehouse of goods, but all kinds of things, some of which would have come in the Carnes' ships.

So all this time that we're hearing about Afong Moy on the road, money's being made for the Carnes.

So yeah, but you might have expected help to come from somewhere, perhaps from the Carnes, who have profited a lot from her.
