"Third brother, for the Zheng family, it's just a freight business, but for you..."

Zheng Zhihu looked at Yang Bo with a look of surprise, but he didn't finish his words, that was to save face for Yang Bo, in his opinion, the Zheng family was just a freight forwarder, and what he earned was freight, for Yang Bo, it was a loss-making business, Yang Bo was not a fool, how could he do a loss-making business? There must be a picture, what is the picture, Zheng Zhihu still hasn't figured it out.

The lights on the deck of the July Fire were fluttering and jumping, and Zheng Zhihu couldn't really see the expression on Yang Bo's face, only seeing a pair of bright eyes.

"Second brother, you know that the amount of white fire produced by the stone temple is getting bigger and bigger, this is fighting with the people for food, now the climate is abnormal, and disasters are frequent tomorrow, there is already a shortage of food, and it has been a long time, but there will be problems. I also took in a lot of displaced people, and when there are many people, there are not a few people who consume food, so it is a great thing to have more food and live one more person. Second brother, you should do me this favor, in business, I will not give the Zheng family's freight a tael of silver. ”

Yang Bo's tone was very firm, but this is business, if the Zheng family agrees, the amount is too small, the Zheng family is not rare to do, the larger the amount, how much silver will Yang Bo lose?

Zheng Zhihu thought that they had just married Jin Lan, and he couldn't help Yang Bo do a loss-making business, in that case, what would he become? It's not nice to say.

"Third brother, you mean that you want to make a loss-making business, and then let me help you?" This was really unbelievable, Zheng Zhihu was a little confused, so he had to turn his gaze to Shen Yanqing and said, "Brother and sister, look.."

"Second brother, don't talk about a younger brother and sister, he's so stupid, I don't necessarily marry him." Shen Yanqing listened to Zheng Zhihu call her brother and sister, and she felt good in her heart, but she was complaining, "He's a god-talker, I can't control his business." ”

Yang Bo was anxious and said: "Qing'er, didn't I tell you before that there is too much silver, and the price of grain will rise, and it is not necessarily a good thing, you tell the second brother." ”

Shen Yanqing immediately asked rhetorically, "How much money are you really in?" ”

"Silver is nothing but a cold lump of metal, what's wrong with exchanging it for food?" Yang Bo said again.

"Nonsense, silver is silver, where is the metal lump?"

"You cannot eat silver, nor wear it."

Shen Yanqing shook a roll of her eyes and said disdainfully: "You are stupid, who made you eat silver and wear silver, you won't exchange it for silver?" ”

“....”

Yang Bo was speechless, in the final analysis, what is the trade balance, inflation, deflation, Yang Bo is also half-understood, how can he convince others, who can blame this?

Yang Bo was anxious, holding his forehead with one hand, and banging on the barrel of the cannon with the other, and shouted: "Oops..."

At this time, he heard Shen Yanqing speak: "Second brother, you just treat him as a fool, get him a few boats to try first, and then he suffers a loss, and he can't blame others." ”

As Shen Yanqing spoke, she rolled her eyes at Yang Bo a few times, and the look in her eyes clearly said that he was a fool.

Zheng Zhihu sighed and said, "In this case, when I go back, I must find a way to persuade the eldest brother to arrange for the third brother to transport grain as soon as possible." ”

In fact, Zheng Zhihu came this time, was entrusted by Zheng Zhilong, one met with Yang Bo, and the other also explored the truth, there are too many rumors about Yang Bo, Shen Jiabao is thousands of miles away in Mindi, he needs Zheng Zhihu to come to find out in person, it is best to go to the factory to inspect it.

The Zheng family had long noticed Yang Bo's miraculous outputs, especially matches, and if possible, the Zheng family would first win the exclusive overseas marketing of these outputs.

"Actually, my brother also wants to ask for everything, my brother thinks. If you want to sell my third brother's matches overseas, let me ask first..."

Zheng Zhihu's expression was hesitant, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to mention this matter now.

"Well said."

Yang Bo said in his heart, the second brother of the Zheng family is a good hand at fighting with the red-haired fan at sea, but in this shopping mall, he is not very good, what Zheng Zhihu thinks in his heart, he has already been seen on his face, and he can't hide it at all.

Yang Bo knew in his heart that the Zheng family would inevitably want to obtain exclusive marketing in the overseas market, so he said bluntly: "At present, the Zheng family has the largest influence on the sea, and it is most appropriate for the Zheng family to be responsible for the overseas sales of matches. ”

Zheng Zhilong really wants to operate exclusively, even if it is Yang Bo, he can't interfere, but with Yang Bo giving three artillery pieces first, Zheng Zhihu himself feels that this kind of request is a bit excessive.

However, Zheng Zhihu can also see that Shen Jiabao only has two big ships bought from the Zheng family, compared with the Zheng family's thousands of ships, it is really not worth mentioning, even if Shen Jiabao intervenes in the overseas market, the share must be much smaller, hearing Yang Bo's words, he is already happy, this result, he is very satisfied.

"Okay, what the third brother said is exactly what the brother meant, you and I are brothers in life and death, above the shopping mall, Shen Jiabao and the Zheng family should be partners and never turn their backs."

"Never turn your back." Both of them chanted at the same time and high-fived in celebration.

Zheng Zhihu has passed this level, and Yang Bo is also excited, but what about Zheng Zhilong?

In Yang Bo's memory, Zheng Zhilong is a well-known capable but unbreakable typical in history, at this time he has strongholds in Taiwan and Quanzhou, sitting on thousands of ships, the Ming court first tried to exterminate, exterminated and failed, and then appeased, and finally the official to the Fujian General Army, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered to the Manchu Qing, thinking that he could spend his old age in peace, in the end, in addition to his son Zheng Chenggong's family, the Zheng family was killed by the Manchus, quite a tragedy.

But this person is good, he is very kind to the people, not only does not kill people, but even relieves the poor, his prestige among the people is higher than that of the government, and he is deeply loved by the people of Mindi, and he has not left a bad reputation in history, and he is the ideal person for Yang Bo to cooperate.

In fact, in this year, Zheng Zhilong is also doing things to save the victims, Fujian last year's local drought, the affected people are innumerable, food and clothing, become refugees fleeing the famine, Zheng Zhilong in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, gathered tens of thousands of refugees, each gave three taels of silver, three people to a cow, transported to Taiwan by boat to settle down, can be described as countless living people.

Yang Bo deliberately mentioned the matter of the displaced people, hoping to reach Zheng Zhilong's ears through Zheng Zhihu, so as to impress Zheng Zhilong and win his understanding and support.

Yang Bo sincerely hopes to cooperate with Zheng Zhilong, with the cooperation of the Zheng family, he can open up the grain route in the south.

But Yang Bo also understands that what the Zheng family wants is the exclusive right to operate in the overseas market, but Yang Bo will not easily agree, he has to leave room for himself, after all, he himself wants to show his skills at sea.

Shen Jiabao's current power on the sea is still very weak, now Yang Bo has a July number, and plans to build his own ship, shipbuilding is inseparable from wood, this time there is a timber merchant surnamed Lu among the merchants who followed Xu Wenjue to invest in silver, Yang Bo plans to talk to him.

This timber merchant surnamed Lu, whose name is Lu Guangyuan, lives in Deyue Tower, and is also anxious to find Yang Bo at this time.

Yang Bo is a busy man, it is said that he got up early before dawn, played a knife trick, and waited for the little grandfather to come to him in a carriage to climb the mountain, and when he came back from climbing, he disappeared, not the person close to Yang Bo, and wanted to see him, but it was not so easy.

Xu Wenjue is a little grandfather, with a prominent identity, and he is Yang Bobai's brother, if he wants to see Yang Bo, it is right to find Xu Wenjue.

And Xu Wenjue is playing billiards, yes, it is the billiards in Yang Bo's mouth, but they prefer to call it a bumper ball.

Yang Bo fulfilled his promise, Xu Wenjue came to Shenjiabao again, and he could really play on the stage, but the glass beads had turned into round wooden balls, which were made of golden silk nanmu, polished to a slippery and round shape, and could shine a human figure.

Shen Jiabao has a total of two tables, one of which was snatched by the shopkeeper of Deyue Tower, and for this reason, he also deliberately transformed a delicate courtyard near Deyue Pavilion into a bumper ball hall for high rollers to come to play and have fun.

Xu Wenjue has been guarding this bumper table for a few days, practicing his skills hard, and it is the eunuch Han Zanzhou who is playing against him today, unlike Xu Wenjue, Han Zanzhou only makes an occasional cameo, and his talent is good, Xu Wenjue can't guarantee that he will win every game, which makes Han Zanzhou very interested, and he is also having fun for a while.

There were also a group of interested onlookers around, including Lu Guangyuan.

"Brother Xiangwen, there is no such thing in the capital, you should really bring it to the palace, so that our emperor can also play with it."

Xu Wenjue narrowly won this game, he was in a good mood, and suddenly put forward such an idea, Han Zanzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly frowned and said: "This... It's too big to carry. ”

"I'll go and tell the third brother, he has a lot of ideas, can this little thing stump him?"

"If Yang San can come up with a way, our family will bring it, the emperor's heart that can't be finished every day, our family is distressed when they look at it, this touch ball is not very tired, it is suitable for the emperor to play a game or two every day."

While talking, the next game started again, but the surrounding spectators were not calm at the moment, this bumper ball was going to be sent to the palace? People who didn't want to play a game suddenly had itchy hands, but there was only a table in Deyuelou, and everyone could only talk about it.

Someone shouted: "Little grandpa, you are tired, rest for a while, let us touch it too." ”

"Yes, little grandfather, after this game, let's have a game."

"This is a novelty that the emperor wants to play."

"Shopkeeper, how come your big Deyue Building only has a bumper ball table?"

"This is still what I robbed with Yang Bo in vain, it's easy for you to snatch something from Yang Bo?"

"Wang Dongjia, Han Ye has good luck, who do you say can win this game?"

"I'm still optimistic about the little grandfather."

"I'll bet twenty taels of silver and bet on Han Ye."

"I'll bet on the little grandfather, double."

“......”

Bang, the two of them were playing ball on the stage, and the audience had already gambled, but Lu Guangyuan's mind was not on the bumper ball, he was bent on finding the little grandfather to introduce Yang Bo to him, and he was anxious and anxious.

It wasn't until noon that Xu Wenjue and Han Zanzhou stopped, they still had to rush to Xishan, in the afternoon Yang Bo held a match factory commencement ceremony there, the little grandfather is a VIP and wants to cut the ribbon, but he can't be late, fortunately, now the road between Shenjiabao and Xishan has been opened, although the road is not completely repaired, but the feasible carriage can arrive in just half an hour.

Xu Wenjue and Han Zanzhou walked down from the stage, and everyone in the audience rushed up, scrambling to hit the first shot, and Lu Guangyuan finally found an opportunity to talk to Xu Wenjue.

"Little grandfather, Han Ye, stay here." Lu Guangyuan hurriedly caught up, took a deep look, smiled all over his face, and begged: "The little one prepares a thin wine in Deyue Tower, can you invite the two nobles to talk about it at lunch?" ”

"Lao Lu?" Xu Wenjue saw that it was Lu Guangyuan, and said: "If you don't go, Grandpa Ben will rush to Xishan, go..." ”

"I still have to go to West Hill to cut the ribbon and have lunch there." Xu Wenjue smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Everyone else is rushing to play the bumper ball, why don't you grab it, Lao Lu?" ”

"Oh, my little grandfather, how can I have that leisure, I'm not in a hurry to see Yang Bo, and I ask my little grandfather to help me introduce one or two."

"Okay, you just follow, how to say, you are also a shareholder of Shimiao, aren't you? I'll go to the third brother and ask him to see you, but you'll have to bring your own carriage. ”
