Ye Hong went out and instructed his subordinates to go home to get the silver, and then return to the bank.

What Ye Hong thought was that Yinluxiu had just said that when it opened today, there must be very few silver deposits. But almost all of the big names in Nanchang will come to deposit silver to support the market, which shows that Qin Feng's momentum today has been achieved.

Since I plan to make friends and do personal favors, now is the best time. Saving silver today is like sending charcoal in the snow. It will definitely attract Qin Feng's attention, and this can be regarded as a fate. If everyone comes to deposit silver in the future, no matter how much you save, it will only be the icing on the cake, and people may not know and appreciate it.

Five hundred taels is ten taels of silver and fifty ingots. It has to fill a large box and more than two people can carry it. Ye Hong entered the wing room and sat down to rest, waiting for his subordinates to pull the silver over and then handle the silver deposit.

Guide Lu Xiu went out to arrange for the little maid to deliver tea and other things. Ye Hong looked over the list in his hand, and felt that it was dark in front of the door, and a tall figure came in.

"I'm Qin Feng, may I ask who your Excellency is?" Qin Feng asked with a smile as he arched his hand.

Ye Hong hurriedly got up and saluted back: "It turned out to be the Qin commander, and I am Ye Hong of the cloth line." Then I told someone to go home and get the money to deposit, and the banker took me here to rest and wait. I didn't expect to meet Commander Qin. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Boss Ye, look up for a long time! Hurry up, please take a seat. When Qin Feng heard that it was Ye Hong, his attitude was very enthusiastic: "Don't mind, I'll talk to you?" ”

"This is the best, Commander Qin is a man of the hour in Nanchang, and it is Ye Hong's blessing to be able to talk to Commander Qin." Ye Hong was polite and respectful.

The two sat down separately, just when Lu Xiucai brought tea and other things with the little maid, and saw Qin Feng talking to Ye Hong here, Lu Xiucai confessed his guilt and exited the room.

"Some time ago, there was a meeting in the cloth line, and Jia Song came back and said that he had the head of Ye Hui, and Ye Hong gave righteous guidance. It's just that because of the cumbersome things later, I haven't had the opportunity to say thank you to Boss Ye. I am fortunate to have a fate today, otherwise I don't know how long this thank you will be owed. Qin Feng arched his hand with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Ye Hong was a little embarrassed, and replied: "Commander Qin is polite, this thanks, Ye is deserved." ”

Qin Feng waved his hand and smiled: "There's nothing to be ashamed of, being able to say it is a favor." Commander Qin listened awkwardly, or you call me Commander Qin, but you and I are now doing business, and I prefer you to call me Mr. Qin. ”

Ye Hong said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is quick to talk, and I, Ye Hong, also feel happy when I speak." ”

Qin Feng asked again: "Boss Ye, I'm curious, Boss Ye saw the wonder of the bank so quickly?" ”

Ye Hong shook his head honestly: "I really didn't see it." ”

"Then why just take the silver and deposit it?"

"Mr. Qin has been prosperous in Nanchang these days, and his reputation has been shaken. Two months ago, Mr. Qin was just a gentleman in a small business, and looking back on the past, no one would have dreamed that Mr. Qin would have achieved what he has today. Therefore, Ye thought that Mr. Qin's bank must also be a big deal, so he decided to deposit the bank without much consideration. ”

Qin Feng nodded, the prince was also at the beginning, looking at people to invest.

"Thanks to Boss Ye's affordability, the bank can indeed bring Boss Ye the benefits of convenient money management, flexible transactions, and even turnover adjustments. But Boss Ye is righteous to Jia Song, and he thinks so highly of Qin, only this benefit, Qin himself is too little. I don't know if Boss Ye is interested in developing other businesses. Or do you want to make your business bigger? Qin Feng smiled and spoke softly, but Ye Hong was stunned by what he said.

What kind of person is this, if you don't agree with each other, you can open up other businesses, or make your own business bigger.

Is the business so easy to develop? If there is a good thing, Ye Hong would not have risked the risk of robbing his house and killing his head, and killed the Wu family in a mask! It is also just to occupy a living space in the cloth shop.

Is it that easy to make your own business bigger? The cloth business originated from raw materials such as cotton, and the market share of production was fixed. If you are big, people will be small. Nowadays, Nanchang is divided into three parts of the world, and the so-called big is to eat other people's shares. On closer examination, Ye Hong's strength is actually the weakest. At the beginning, it was just that the Wu family cherished themselves and didn't want to burn jade with him. He is stone, and the Wu family is jade. It is not easy to maintain the status quo, how can it be bigger? 398

When others said so, Ye Hong just scoffed. Qin Feng said this, Ye Hong, except for shock, there is only one left, I believe it!

Seeing that Ye Hong was slightly stunned, Qin Feng casually picked up the teacup and took a sip, groaned and said, "Boss Ye, I heard that you used to be a full-time businessman, and later changed to a cloth business, and occasionally went into business. I want to ask, is Boss Ye familiar with the business of going south to the seaside? ”

Ye Hong restrained his mind, the so-called former businessman, alluding to his own trafficking in illicit salt. Almost all of the smuggled salt sellers take salt from the seaside salt farm, so they are really familiar with the seaside. Moreover, he traveled the world by selling illicit salt, often dealing with robbers and bandits, and had contact with the three religions and nine streams. Qin Feng didn't ask the wrong person this question.

Ye Hong nodded and said, "Ye is not too familiar, but he also knows some of it, I don't know what Mr. Qin wants to know?" ”

"I have the militia and the bank money, if I want to go south to do business, I will ask how much goods can be accommodated over there?"

So it was, Ye Hong understood in an instant, his three cloth shops, the principal, the strength is limited, once a month, there are 120,000 silver in the account. Qin Feng has someone who has money now, and if he trafficks in large quantities for a long time, it is indeed a big business! Everyone knows that going to business makes money, but looking at the layout of others, it is not good to be unconvinced. If you can get a piece of the pie in the middle, you will really open up your business! Leaving aside the other two cloth shops, and cooperating with Qin Feng in the trading of cloth going south, he also has a chance to become bigger?

Ye Hong thought for a while and replied: "If the goods are shipped to coastal cities for sale, such as Quanzhou. If there are too many goods, there will be unsalable, because most of the local Chinese maritime merchants in the city are purchased, and then transported to all parts of Nanyang, and the number of Chinese maritime merchants and silver money always has a limit. Government decrees also change frequently. Therefore, in order to ensure safety, if you want the goods to be taken off quickly, you should not have too many at one time. Moreover, it is not cost-effective to return empty-handed, and if you want to bring goods from the locality, as well as the Nanyang lands, and even further west, the goods in the city are limited, and there is no guarantee that they will be available at any time. Almost all of these transactions were monopolized by local maritime merchants. Therefore, if you want to resell and receive goods quickly, you need to establish a good relationship with local maritime merchants. These maritime merchants are also merchants and thieves, and they also have various connections with the local government, so they are not so easy to get along with. ”

Everything is easy to plan, but it is still difficult to implement.

"What if you trade directly with foreign merchants, Westerners?"

"If the Westerners trade directly with merchants from all over Dahua. Locals and merchants are not profitable. So it's okay to make a small fuss, but it's not okay to make a large-scale onshore transaction. Those locals, the Westerners who came ashore to rob the sea, that was their territory. If the Dahua merchants went to sea to trade, the sea merchants would turn into pirates and plunder on the sea, which was also their territory. Therefore, the current trading model is that the goods of Dahua merchants are traded with the locals in the coastal cities, and the locals are handed over to the maritime merchants to be centralized, and transported to the islands to trade with Westerners everywhere. The goods transported to Dahua by Westerners are also such reverse transactions. But even so, we have seven or eight times the profit when we come back and forth, bringing goods on both sides. This has been a practice for many years, and Ye Hong himself has accepted the naked monopolistic trading behavior of local sea merchants.

"It doesn't work! In this way, local maritime merchants have a monopoly in the middle, and the number and variety of goods traded will be greatly restricted. The deal is not big! Qin Feng shook his head categorically: "If there is a way, it will not go through the local maritime merchants." How many goods do you think Nanyang Chinese merchants, Nanyang maritime merchants, Westerner maritime merchants, etc., can eat in a year? ”

Ye Hong was stunned and said: "Then there is no way to count, in short, the Dahua goods on the island will always be in short." There have always been maritime merchants from all over the world waiting for Dahua's goods on the island. In Dongying alone, Dahua commercial goods are already in short supply. However, the passage of ships at sea is unimpeded, how can we get around? Those maritime merchants, once they found that the Dahua merchant ships were walking on the sea, they would kill people and destroy the ships, and they were ruthless. ”

Indeed, the commercial goods shipped from Dahua are a drop in the bucket compared with the demand capacity of the entire Western countries and the Nanyang countries.

Ye Hong is also right, Dahua's maritime merchants are also pirates, but they are a group of pirates who will only wreak havoc at their own doorstep. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were still some people who colluded to recruit Japanese ronins and samurai to massacre coastal people and plunder wealth for economic or political purposes. Historically known as the Wako.

Qin Feng snorted coldly: "If you can't get around, then don't go around." I don't mind meeting them. “

Ye Hong pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Dare to ask Mr. Qin, how are you going to act?" What can Ye do? ”

Qin Feng smiled and nodded: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, you have to find a local partner first." I wonder if Boss Ye can get in touch with some unsatisfactory maritime businessmen? ”

Ye Hong also smiled: "In any industry, there are only a few companies that are satisfied, and those who are unsatisfactory abound." ”

"Then choose one or two, the one who is righteous, the one who is reliable, and the one who has the heart to become bigger and stronger. Bring me for an interview. Qin Feng didn't wait for Ye Hong to reply, and said: "The world is far away, I won't let them come in vain, no matter whether they can negotiate cooperation with me or not, I have 10,000 taels of silver to send the goods." ”

Ye Hong raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: Mr. Qin is generous in his work, and he should be happy to cooperate with such a person! Immediately replied: "Okay! I, Ye Hong, can't find a maritime businessman, but I still know a thing or two about the small maritime merchant who is righteous and humane, so I will send someone to contact him. Let's see if we can bring in one or two. ”

As the two were talking about this, Ruyi, who was wearing an OL uniform, swayed at the door. Qin Feng then smiled and said to Ye Hong: "Boss Ye, I have a lot of affairs today, so I can't accompany you more." Let's have a good chat another day, if you have something, you can come directly to Jia's house or the school to find me. “

Ye Hong stood up and arched his hand: "Mr. Qin is polite, you go and get busy, I know how to do it here." ”
