Chapter 500: Zhang Shujun's recent situation
finally lived up to the old lady's expectations and got in touch with the two teenagers in front of her, especially this fourth-ranked teenager...... He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was really not easy!
Now that it's okay, the glory of the Xu family in the next few decades can almost be expected...... Of course, the Xu family is not sitting there and waiting, wealth will fall from the sky, and they have to fight for it themselves. For example, to strongly support this teenager financially.
And as far as he knows, although this fourth master also has a lot of industry under his command, there are few maritime merchants like the Xu family.
Originally, he agreed with what the third lady did, and it was possible to use the Yu family to help the Xu family transform. Although maritime merchants make money, the risks are also very high. Every year when they go to sea, the whole family pins their heads to the waistband of their trousers. If there are other industries that can make money and have little risk, then the fool is not willing!
However, as the saying goes, wealth is in danger. After boarding with the Four Highnesses, the risk of taking sea transportation will not be reduced - but the harvest is greatly improved.
Therefore, the activities that I used to think had the meaning of chicken ribs are only for the Xu family, but they have become fresh and delicious food again.
And the Xu family will also use the excess profits obtained from this sea freight to support the Fourth Highness and get more of what he wants and what the Xu family wants for him.
And the wealth of the Xu family can be expected, so he is a fat man, as the most discerning person in the event (except for Xu Sanniang), the future wealth is also conceivable.
The Xu family will definitely not treat him badly.
In order to keep a low profile, and this is also Yu Shang's repeated instructions, the people who sent them away were only Kang Fatzi who came, and even the three ladies who entered the city together did not come.
It was as if it was just a visit from a personal friend or relative of the manager.
"What a nuisance!" Zhi Ting looked at the city gate in the distance, and the figure that was already as small as an ant said with a sigh.
Obviously, Fat Kang has not left yet-although the person is only the size of an ant, but the ant that is still wiping sweat and wiping so often must be Fat Kang.
"But the harvest is not small." Gu Ming smiled and said to Zhi Ting, "The Xu family turned out to be a maritime merchant, and their family had seven or eight lucky ships, and they went to the sea once a year to bring back the precious goods worth the border city. ”
"Fourteen Niang, I don't read much, don't lie to me." Zhiting pouted, "If it is true that seven or eight ships worth of goods from the border city can be transported back every year, then the Xu family will still run all the way with the two unidentified children of the Yu family in Qingzhou?" ”
Obviously, it is not as good as Fourteen Niang said.
"I didn't lie to you, they do bring back seven or eight ships of precious goods every year, but it's just ......," Gu Ming sighed and said, "More than seventy percent of those goods belong to others." Only less than thirty percent of the goods are their Xu family's things. ”
"Piggybacking on someone else?" Zhiting asked a little strangely, seven or eight Dafu ships, that's not small. But why is it that it is obviously the Xu family's fleet, but it has to transport things for others?
Even if it's piggybacking, so much, it's an exaggeration.
"It's not piggybacking, it's a must." Gu Ming said lightly, "The Xu family is just a businessman, unlike the Yu family, who also has a bachelor." The Xu family is just a pure businessman. ”
The status of the business is low and being bullied, which Zhiting also understands. However, when she heard what Gu Ming said, she still felt shocked.
Shipping is not an easy task, going to sea once, the cost is huge, and there is a risk of bankruptcy. Especially like the Xu family, the proportion of goods accounted for by their own family is not large, so the profit is not high after a hard trip. Because most of the ships have to carry goods for those who do not have their own sea ships and cannot afford to offend their own families. It's okay this way, and there are even those people who don't pay half a dime, and they have to label the goods to them, and the profits are all theirs.
If it is really bad luck and the ship has an accident at sea, it is absolutely not only the Xu family that takes care of everything, but also the goods of each family, they all have to pay.
This is the reason why every time the Xu family's fleet goes to sea, the Xu family's family, young and old, are all nervous.
Xu Sanniang has told her about these things.
So it seems that the Xu family has always wanted to transform. But the transformation is not so easy, the Xu family has spent a lot of effort, spent a lot of money, asked for a lot of relationships, and met countless people...... It's all in vain.
Until, the third lady saw a young man at the city gate. This matter has finally been resolved.
"The profits of going to sea are so big!" Zhiting was also very surprised.
"The third lady told me that if the two of us want something rare, as long as we send her a letter, she will definitely let the family boat bring it from outside. We have a lot of very valuable things here, but in other places, they are very worthless. Like spices, gemstones, etc. But there are some things that are not worth much money here, such as silk, tea, porcelain, etc., which are very valuable outside. Gu Ming said to Zhiting with a smile.
She didn't really care about that. Although shipping is one of the most profitable businesses, she does not do business simply to make money.
And, when it comes to making money, she knows of several businesses that are no less profitable than sea freight - and even more terrible, almost money-grabbing ones.
However, she didn't plan to get involved in those businesses.
If she had to intervene in all the profitable businesses in this world, then even if she was a fairy, she would be tired to death.
In this life, her situation is much better than in her previous life, and she doesn't have so much financial pressure, forcing her to seize all opportunities to make money. This is what she fought for herself.
She cherishes the fact that she can do what she wants to do and make a lot of money.
Next to Gu Ming, Zhi Ting was already there with her fingers and calculating, asking the Xu family's merchant ship to bring something back for her. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to take out all her years of "savings" and ask the Xu family to help her bring gems, as much as she could.
"Do you have a lot of savings?" Gu Ming was very skeptical. She remembered that this man couldn't save any money at all.
Zhiting suddenly coughed a few times and stopped talking.
That's weird! Gu Minghu looked at her suspiciously, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "Do you want it from your junior uncle again?" ”
The relationship between Zhiting and Zhang Shujun is really good! It's really enviable.
It's been a long time since I've seen him, and I haven't heard about his recent news, so I'm really a little worried. Gu Ming sighed.
"My little uncle...... I told you quietly, you are not allowed to tell anyone in the future...... I'll tell you, he's been so proud lately! Zhi Ting shook her head triumphantly and told Gu Ming mysteriously, "It is estimated that the emperor has received a lot of rewards, I will ask him for one casually, and if I lose it, won't I be rich?" ”
