185 Nanyang
"Oh?"
Ji Tong has been pondering what he should do if he can really let go of his hands and feet. In order to show Qin Xu that they were not wrong, Ji Tong also invited Qin Xu and Chen Houji to Miaoyin Garden.
Miaoyin Garden can be said to be Ji Tong's proud work.
As mentioned when I was with Shen Rouning before, if Miaoyin Garden was opened in the capital, the income would not only increase several times. Moreover, such a place, like the restaurant and tea shop, is the best occasion for the circulation of information...... And collecting information, I believe that Qin Xu will definitely be able to use it.
Qin Xu really praised the Miaoyin Garden and affirmed his idea of giving priority to laying Miaoyin Gardens in various places. Ji Tong already had a very complete plan at this time, so he had already told Qin Xu, and he was sure of it...... Why did the words turn to the grain?
War is coming, and food prices are bound to rise.
Ji Tong didn't know this.
However, the imperial court had already decreed that no merchant should be allowed to hoard Juqi and raise prices, otherwise it would be regarded as a capital crime of chaos and mercilessness...... In this case, the original big grain merchants have inventory in their hands, and they also have a way, and they can still make some money with trepidation, but if the latecomers want to intervene, not only can they not find the source of goods, it is difficult to do business, and the risk is too big and the income is limited, which is really unwise!
Even if the Duke of Qin came forward, this grain business would not be easy to do!
It will also arouse suspicion from all sides!
Qin Xu noticed Ji Tong's gaze, smiled slightly, and said, "We don't hoard grain, but we can produce it ourselves." ”
Ji Tong was stunned again, and became more and more puzzled: "Does Xu Shao have to buy land?" ”
That's ridiculous.
A businessman is a businessman. There is a big difference with the landlord.
Not to mention that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is expensive, the price is quite high, and very few people sell it, but it can really be bought, how much start-up capital is needed to buy enough land specifically to sell grain!
That's simply not possible!
Qin Xu doesn't seem to be such a clear-headed person...... Ji Tong's heart was cold, and he saw Qin Xu smiling as if he was smiling in his chest, his spirit was shocked, and he smiled bitterly: "Don't sell Guan Zi Shao...... I really can't guess how I can use my brain from food right now. ”
"Ji Xiaotong, you don't know, he is such a disgusting person. He loves to pretend to be unfathomable, so smart that everyone in the world is inferior to him. Chen Houji squinted lazily in the sun. Introduce your experience to Ji Tong: "It's good if you ignore him, love to talk or not, cut." ”
Ji Tong smiled bitterly.
Qin Xu came to him to discuss something, and Chen Houji didn't care about it. Anyway, for the future positioning, it is a general. If he Ji Tong does not cooperate with the question. So what did Qin Xu want him to do? I'm ready to send it away!
Qin Xu ignored Chen Houji, the corner of his eyes swept away, and he saw Shen Rouning as if he was thinking because of his words. The mood immediately lightened, took a sip of tea, smiled and said two words: "Nanyang." ”
Shen Rouning was slightly stunned, and after a moment, she was thoughtful.
Qin Xu was in a better mood when he saw this, and he didn't wait for Ji Tong, who was at a loss as if he hadn't heard what he said, to ask, he pointed a little finger, dipped some tea, and slid out a long line from north to south on the stone table, and finally landed in front of Ji Tong a little harder, and said: "The eyes of the world are not in the prosperous and prosperous land of Jiangnan, but on the fertile soil of the Central Plains in the north...... Whether it is the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River, every inch of land is gold, and gold is extremely expensive. As everyone knows, the Nanyang countries, which people have in the impression of being hot and humid and barbaric and worthless, have a lot of fertile land that has never been cultivated, overgrown with thorns and weeds, and no one cares about it. ”
"Why is that?"
Ji Tong has some brains in business, but he really doesn't read much. It is the first time I have heard people talk about the land of the South Seas. In his impression, when it comes to the South Seas, they are all cargo ships coming from the South Seas. Of course, the goods transported from the South China Sea are good goods that can make a lot of money, but now I have heard that there are many powerful pirates entrenched in the South China Sea, and it is difficult for cargo ships to come over.
"The land in the south is fertile, and it is ripe several times a year, so there is no need to cultivate at all, and by the gift of God, there is no need to worry about starvation...... Even dressing, because the weather is hot all year round, make a leaf to cover the shame...... God is in charge of food and clothing, so why should they work so hard to take care of the land......
When Qin Xu saw this back then, he felt very incredible. How can there be such a place in the world, that is really where Tianfu is. Seeing that the locals were so lazy and barbaric and unwilling to make progress, I was really moved and impressed.
Before, because he thought of business and food, for the country and the people, Qin Xu thought of the fertile lands in the southern countries that were given to the world by God.
The locals are lazy and unwilling to farm, but the Han people have always been industrious. He has inspected and traveled south by sea ship from the port of Ningbo, even if it is against the wind and water, it will only take ten or twenty days to arrive.
"Their land is not cultivated, but we cultivate it for him."
Qin Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Ji Tong who was stunned, and seemed to snort, "Ji Tong, you don't have to think it's whimsical. Although I don't know much about management, I know that the essence of management is to think about what others dare not think. If you stick to the old ways, you can only keep a good shop and collect the poor rent. Now that you have told you about the situation over there, you can say whatever you think of and what difficulties you feel. ”
Although Ji Tong is good, it is not irreplaceable.
To be honest, regarding the grain of Nanyang, he has made a thoughtful and completely implementable plan. And with a plan, he can easily find out the talents to implement it from the Qin State Mansion...... He even disliked Ji Tong for being too young and having too little knowledge to control the scene.
At this time, if Ji Tong can't say something crucial through the information he gave...... Although he will still use the Hui Hui to promote Ji Tong, he will definitely not value him too much at the moment.
Ji Tong instinctively felt that Qin Xu's attitude had changed.
He unconsciously sat up straight, groaned slightly, and said, "Since Xu Shao uses this to consider me, then I will take the liberty to say my own shallow opinion......"
Ji Tong's brain is still good.
At first, he spoke a little slowly, but gradually, his thoughts became clearer and smoother, and the more he spoke, the smoother it became, and his eyes burst out with a hot light.
What kind of Miaoyin Garden or something, but it's all a small fight. If they make this Nanyang Manor a ...... That's a shocking feat!
Chen Houji listened for a while, and then he was a little absent-minded. He motioned for Shen Rouning to go aside with him, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Ning, I have always forgotten to ask, are you planning these things to go back to Beijing in the future?" (To be continued......)
