Chapter 243: The Premise of Cooperation
"Is the Yan family planning to do the business of Shudi Yunjin?" Although it was a question, in his tone, there was no doubt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuxiu asked Zhao Quansheng to take people to Shudi to pull goods, but the news was not publicized. Shen Xuan actually knew that he planned to do Yunjin business, and this news was really well-informed.
Doing Yunjin business, Yuxiu didn't want to hide it from people anyway, and with a well-informed person like Shen Xuan, she simply nodded generously, "Yes, because my shopkeeper said that the fabric business is good, I recommend doing some fabric business." Ordinary cloth and silk are commonly seen in Jiangnan, and only Shudi Yunjin is sold less in Jiangnan. ”
Shen Xuan heard Yuxiu say that it was suggested by the shopkeeper, and remembered that the female shopkeeper used by the Yan family was either an outdated Qinglou prostitute or a woman in distress. The Yan family is doing the business of rouge pollen, and the business is better with these women as shopkeepers.
Moreover, now these female shopkeepers are the signboards of Reva Balm Powder Shop.
"Yan Niangzi may not know that Shudi is not only good at Yunjin, but also has a lot of good things, such as medicinal herbs. But because after Teng Wangye arrived in Shudi, he set up posts at various wharves in Lanjiang and sent troops to garrison them. All merchants who come and go, except for those who hold designated official certificates, the rest must be inspected layer by layer. This way, originally half a month by water, may take more than a month. ”
"Along the way, the officers and soldiers who inspected still had to collect ship taxes, and the original ten wen things, when they came out of Shuzhong, the cost would be one hundred wen. ”
In doing so, King Teng not only controlled the waterway of the Lanjiang River, but also increased the fiscal and tax revenues. Over the years, that's a lot of money. Moreover, because the ship tax he collected was not under the control of the imperial court, and he did not need to pay it to the imperial court.
No wonder the treasury is empty, but King Teng's mansion is getting richer and richer.
Yuxiu just started business, and she didn't know these things, and when she heard Shen Xuan being so familiar, she couldn't help asking, "Isn't it impossible to do business in Shudi?"
"It's not that it can't be done, Shu is mountainous, and the mountains are steep. On the land route, King Teng could only send people to guard a few official roads. Merchants who don't ship much goods will find a guide to lead the way and come back from the mountains. ”
The mountain road is steep, so you can't run a horse-drawn carriage, and the transportation of things is limited.
Shen Xuan told himself this, what did he want to do?
"Shen Gongzi, you also know that our brothers and sisters don't understand many things when they first do business, especially the matter of running freight, we only know how to do it in Mingzhou. Shen Gongzi is well-informed, and if he is willing to give advice, he is grateful. ”
Yuxiu's attitude is very single, and it has the meaning of letting Shen Xuan make a price.
Shen Xuan wants to make friends with the Yan family's brothers and sisters, but he doesn't want to make enemies, of course he won't ask for a price, "My family has a business in Yundu Mansion in Shuzhong, and the shopkeeper is familiar with the brother of a concubine of King Teng, so our family's merchant ships are all taken by water with official certificates." ”
"If the lady wants to enter the Yunjin of Shudi, my caravan can help. ”
Yundu is the residence of King Teng, and it is also the capital of Shuzhong.
Yuxiu was a little puzzled.
The Shen family must have taken a lot of effort to catch the line of King Teng's concubine's brother. Shen Xuan told himself that it was trust, but it was also a good card. He showed that the Shen family had the resources and ability to do things.
The goods transported by the Shen family's caravan have always been only for the use of their own shops, and they do not help others transport goods. Shen Xuan is so generous to help him transport goods, what is it for?
Shen Xuan touched his mustache and let Yuxiu look at it, looking frank.
Yuxiu glanced at Yudong, the brother and sister had a similar mind, and Yudong said, "Shen Gongzi, the Shen family caravan can help, we are naturally grateful." However, if we take advantage of the so-called unmeritorious service, our hearts will be uneasy. I wonder where our brother and sister can do their best?"
Shen Xuan was impressed when he heard Yudong say these words. It seems that Yan Dalang has dealt with businessmen a lot, and his mind is no longer blindly honest and can speculate on people's hearts.
"Da Lang is really happy. Since the merchant ships in Shuzhong can transport goods, the landing dock is somewhat inconvenient. I heard that a field near the Lanjiang River on the other side of Yanshan was bought by Da Lang?"
As soon as Shen Xuan said this, Yuxiu finally understood what he wanted.
The field of Yanshan, close to the Lanjiang River, is also an important place leading to the north-south official road. The fields are barren and not conducive to farming, but the location is excellent.
After she went to Yanshan to see it, she asked Yan Jinpeng to buy as much of that field as possible. She plans to build a cargo ship dock in Lanjiang, and after the goods are landed, they can be directly transported to the north and south.
Now because King Teng intercepted and governed the upper reaches of the Lanjiang River, the Lanjiang freight is not prosperous. What happens once the upstream is released?
There are cloud brocade, weaving and dyeing and other things in Shu, as well as various medicinal materials, pepper spices, etc., when the time comes, through the Lanjiang River, the things in Shu will be transported out, and the goods from the north and south can also be transported to Shu.
When the time comes, people come and go, and that area will definitely become a prosperous place.
Shen Xuan also took a fancy to that excellent location and wanted a piece of the pie.
In this way, in his previous life, Shen Xuan bought the area of Yanshan because it was located on the main transportation road, not for the jade mine. This was really unintentional, and in the end, he became the richest man with the jade mine, and he was rewarded by the imperial court.
"It's a great place. After we bought it, we planned to make a living in the future. Shen Gongzi, what do you think of there?"
Shen Xuan glanced at Yuxiu, this Yan lady immediately picked out the value of that place, and said that it was the Yan family's plan to be a place to settle down, so there was no need to mention that she wanted a field.
"If you build a dock there, it will be good. At that time, my Shen family's caravan can also go ashore from there. ”
Yuxiu pulled Yudong and asked quietly, "Brother, after the dock is opened, we will let the Shen family account for 20% of the dry shares, okay?"
Yudong nodded in agreement and told Yuxiu's idea.
Shen Xuan thought about it a little and was quite satisfied with it. Twenty percent of the dry shares of this wharf will be rich in the future.
The dock has not been established, and naturally there will be no document, which is a gentleman's agreement.
Shen Xuan talked about it, and after some gossip, he said goodbye and left.
Yudong sent the guest to the door and turned back, Yuxiu happily dragged him and smiled, "Brother, Shen Gongzi is looking for us to cooperate, Shen Gongzi is looking for us to cooperate!"
Yudong was taken aback, as if since last year, the eldest sister has always been calm, and it is rare to see her so emotionally exposed.
It's no wonder Yuxiu is happy. In her memory, in her previous life, Shen Xuan was the richest man in Jiangnan.
He has a unique eye for business, and his methods are sophisticated and ruthless. The business he fancies, but there is no such thing as cooperation, only to seize it in every possible way.
Now, he came to the door to find his brother and sister to cooperate.
The memory of her previous life is too vivid, and in such a comparison, Yuxiu rarely shows her childish side.
It turned out that he was quite a businessman, Yu Xiumei thought to herself, "Brother, I've been busy for so many days, I'll cook tonight, and I have to have a good meal." ”
