Chapter 291: Arms Dealers

Three days later, the first free trade meeting of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone has ended, and everyone comes with a bulging wallet, and then goes with an empty wallet. In the past three days, the entire Shimenshan Economic Development Zone has been crowded with people, and after the free trade meeting has dispersed, the whole market can be described as a mess, just like the scene after the rural exchange meeting in the previous life.

Li Chen and his men walked around the market, because the caravan used to pull goods were horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, and the whole market was full of poop pulled by livestock.

"This group of people is really of low quality." Li Chen said. Cleaners in the distance were dealing with the dirt on the ground, and the merchants were so low that they left behind a pile of.

"In the three days of this free trade meeting, we collected 320,000 taels of tax silver? Don't get cheap, sell well. Ying Yue said while holding Li Chen's arm. The two who had just become relatives naturally wanted to get tired of being together all day long, and Yingyue was also idle and bored in Lijiazhuang, so she followed Li Chen to Shimenshan Economic Development Zone to have a look.

The relationship between the young couple is very good, and they are tired of being together all day long after more than three months of marriage.

"I'm going to have to be cheap, sooner or later, you'll have to let your father take it away." Li Chen said indignantly. This father and daughter are a bit of a bully, one squeezes his intelligence to make money for him during the day, and squeezes his physical strength to work for her at night.

Hey, it's so difficult for a man, and I can't say anything about the bitterness in my heart.

"I've seen the princess, I've seen the Hou Ye."

Li Chen took Ying Yue to the yamen of the Tax Department, Liu Bang was burying his head in the case file to deal with official business, and when he saw Li Chen and Ying Yue coming, he quickly got up and greeted respectfully.

"You have here a list of the alien merchants who have come to trade this time." Li Chen asked.

"Yes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, I have long recorded the situation of these businessmen." Liu Bang said and took out two booklets from under the table, the slightly thicker one recorded the situation of the merchants of Great Qin, and the slightly meager one was the roster of foreign merchants.

Obviously, Liu Bang cherishes the position of director of the tax department very much, and the list contains a very detailed record of the wealthy businessmen with the highest number, the net worth of these wealthy businessmen, the type of business they do, the annual trading volume, the dumping direction of goods, and the business dealings with Lijiazhuang, etc.

Li Chen took a general look, and the information recorded in it was simply readily available, which could be called a Daqin-like business report.

"Twenty powerful Hu merchants should be selected from among them, and those who can come up with more than 100,000 taels of silver at one time." Li Chen threw the booklet to Liu Bang, and then spoke.

Liu Bang is doing the work of dealing with businessmen, and almost all Hu businessmen Liu Bang knows it. In fact, these Hu merchants are richer than the merchants of Daqin, and there are many merchants in Daqin, and they can do business with some capital in their hands. The grasslands are different, where looting and killing are everywhere, and the Hu merchants who do business on the grasslands often have a large tribe behind them. Although the Hu merchants were few, they were engaged in monopoly trading on the grassland, which is why although the price of the goods they took from Daqin was not low, they could still make money.

These Hu businessmen who do business on the grassland are all fat and oily. Moreover, the people on the grassland have a rough personality, and they are naturally not good at bargaining. Therefore, in Daqin, these Hu merchants have always been regarded as big fat sheep. All of them are stupid sons of the landlord's family, and many people are stupid and foolish.

"Master Hou is looking for a merchant who can do the ordnance business?" Liu Bang asked.

Li Chen replied, "Not bad. ”

"Ordnance business." Liu Bang muttered quietly, constantly thinking about the right person in his heart. The Grizzly Bear Department is a model for Li Chen to buy horse bones for thousands of miles, and the credit to the Grizzly Bear Department is naturally only a special case, and naturally not all tribes can pay on credit. Therefore, the partners needed for this ordnance business must naturally have strong financial strength, and the tribes that trade these must be tribes close to Great Qin.

Liu Bang calculated in his heart that there were many wealthy Hu merchants, and there were many people who could take out 100,000 taels of silver at one time, but it was a trouble to minimize the instability caused by the sale of ordnance while making money.

"Although the Wild Fox Department is not a big clan on the grassland, the Wild Fox Department has never had conflicts with Great Qin, so it can be counted as a family."

"Although the Coyote Department is not friendly to Great Qin, its tribe borders the Great Yue Clan and is far away from Great Qin. Moreover, the Coyote Department and the Otsutsuki Clan are feuds, and the Coyote Department can contain the Otsuki Clan very well, and the Coyote Department is also a family. ”

......

......

Liu Bang planned and began to write and draw on paper. After about a stick of incense, Liu Bang handed over a list. The list lists tribes one by one, and at the back of the tribes are written their opinions in small print.

Li Chen watched quietly, and after reading the list, Li Chen was even more sure of Liu Bang's talent in his heart. Sure enough, this person who was able to ascend from a gangster to that position in the troubled times in his previous life must be more than just luck. On this piece of paper, what Li Chen saw was Liu Bang's weighing of the pros and cons, everything will inevitably have disadvantages while being pros, but the twenty partners Liu Bang chose magnified the pros and narrowed the disadvantages to the greatest extent possible.

Li Chen handed over the contacts with these Hu merchants to Liu Bang, who is now the number one courtesan in Lijiazhuang. This is up to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, down to the big businessman Liu Bang can be called a brother and sister to anyone. The Shimenshan Economic Development Zone held three trade fairs a month, and the first trade fair was held at a far cheaper price than the goods that the merchants of Daqin sold on the grasslands. Therefore, many merchants did not leave Xianyang, but waited for the second opening of the market.

Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, the meeting room of the Taxation Department.

At this time, Liu Bang was sitting upright in the main seat of the living room, and there were ten Hu merchants sitting on each side.

Liu Bang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You must know what Liu is looking for you to come to, and Cheng Hou Ye trusts him to be in charge of the ordnance trading business." It's a big business, and it's a business that can make a fortune. This ordnance business is a lot of monks and little porridge, and the people who want this business can be said to be like the sand in this river. Everyone, give me the right price. ”

"Lord Liu, may I ask if this weapon is the same as the batch of grizzly bears." Obviously, Hu Shang was very interested in this business, and as soon as Liu Bang's voice fell, someone else asked.

"It's not the same batch, but don't worry about the quality of the weapons. In the words of Master Hou, our Daqin's equipment is produced on the assembly line, so it is the same as a mother's child, there is no difference. Liu Bang patted his chest and reassured.

The quality of Daqin's standard equipment is also worthy of Liu Bang's guarantee, you must know that Daqin's military industry is very mature, and the name of the manufacturer will be engraved on every weapon. If something goes wrong with the ordnance, then the person who made it can't escape. Under such an almost strict law, how could the quality of this weapon be in question.
