Chapter 144 Store Expansion

The East 'Gate' Qing sold nearly forty percent of the bulk goods (mainly raw silk) to Imai and Shimai, and sold the other forty percent to the Lin family and the Huang family, and the four families were silent about the purchase price of raw silk, and even the purchase price of the other three families was not very clear, and only the East 'Gate' Qing and Yu did not hesitate to know the final 'delivery' price. Of the remaining 20%, he left half of it for retail in the store, and the other half was given to Takanobu Matsuura for 'sex' at one time!

The double carp fleet brought a lot of goods this time, Qinghuaxiang has a lot of 'tide' embroidery, embroidery, especially on the Fu Zhilong raw silk, and after the capture of the Golden Dog Pirate Group, the number of raw silk has increased by nearly sixty percent! Therefore, although it is only one percent of the total amount, the quantity is also extremely large, and the price of raw silk is very high at the moment, and the east 'gate' celebration is sent out at this time, and Matsuura Takanobu is no longer surprised, but shocked! In one day, even those who were originally secretly cursing the East 'Gate' celebration changed their tunes, and Tian Anjing pondered even more in private: "This is definitely not a gift!" It must be military! Military funding! ”

Compared with the productive forces of this era, the demand for Daming raw silk in Japanese society is simply a bottomless 'hole'! Dong'men Kei sold such a large number of goods, only causing a virtual impact on the Hirado market, that is, everyone heard that Qing Huaxiang had already sold the goods, and the secondary merchants from all walks of life heard the wind and lowered the price, but the price came down, but the goods were not seen on the market. It turned out that Shimai, Imai, and Huanglin had their own sales channels, and this time the goods were almost consumed by the various daimyos behind them, and there was not much left for the transit merchants in Hirado.

However, since the thirst for raw silk from the Kyoto, western Japan, and Kyushu regions has been temporarily alleviated, and Hirado is not a place of consumption of raw silk but only a transit station, so although the goods are not listed in Hirado, the price will not be able to rise again after the price has fallen. Many merchants who did not benefit from this business 'tide' became resentful, and Yang Zhizhong did not hesitate to feel it, and after sensing it, he advised the East 'Gate' to be careful.

Dongmen' Qing didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's mediocre if you don't attract envy!" If you want to make a lot of money in business, how can you not be hated? We have ships and cannons, some people have money, who are afraid of hating! ”

Yu Buqi said: "Then it's better to think about appeasement." ”

"Appeased? How to appease? Dongmenqing said: "They don't hate me for being rude to them, but they hate us for not selling them goods." There's nothing I can do about that. Do I want to treat everyone equally? Where can you make a lot of money like that? ”

If the business is stable, then everyone makes a small profit and a small loss, and if it is a 'swing', then someone makes a lot of money and someone goes bankrupt. This business 'tide' first caused by the weather caused by high prices of goods, and then there were human factors that made the already unbalanced market even more unbalanced, so there were both those who made a lot of money, and there were also those who 'went bankrupt', and it happened that there were four or five merchants near the Qinghuaxiang store and opposite were facing business difficulties, and the east 'gate' Qing asked Cui Guangnan to try to put down the shops that were in difficulty.

Cui Guangnan thought to himself: "If we go to talk directly, the other party knows that we are going to expand the store, and it will inevitably raise the price." "So I went to the retainers of the Matsuura family, the Huang family, the Lin family, the Shimai family, and Imai and asked them to come forward, and each of them bought a store at a very low price, and then sold it to the Higashi 'Gate' family. These companies have just gotten the benefits of the East 'Gate' family, and this kind of thing does not waste any effort, so they are naturally happy to help, and sell the store to the East 'Gate' Qing at the original price, and they don't even make money from the price difference. And the merchants who sold the storefront waited until the sold store was hung with the "Qinghuaxiang" brand, and then they suddenly realized that they fell and cried bitterly!

The east 'gate' Qing only 'spent' a few loads of raw silk, and then the two on the left, one on the right, and the three stores on the opposite side were all taken down, and the Qinghuaxiang firm occupied half of the street! He also had the intention to take advantage of the off-season to open up these shops, and even planned to build a double road (flyover) to connect the shops on both sides of the street. He is a man who does what he says, and when he is determined, he sends people to find craftsmen to design and recruit construction workers, so why does it take half a day's work? The whole Hirado knew that the unemployed flocked to the city, and they were willing to come and work for the big officials of the East 'Gate'.

In terms of the actual wealth of Higashimonkei, he may not be in the top 10 on Hirado Island at the moment! But because he did several major things in a short period of time, he was in the limelight for a while, and it faintly gave people the illusion that he was the richest man in Hirado!

Yang Zhizhong was uneasy in his heart, and persuaded the East 'Gate' Qing to keep a low profile several times, always saying something like "Humility benefits full of losses", "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", etc., where does the East 'Gate' Qing take it to heart, just think he is an old and rotten rumor.

Wu Ping and Yu Buzhi saw such a big move by the East 'Gate' Qing, and they were a little worried that he planned to live in Japan for a long time, so they secretly asked him, and the East 'Gate' Qing said: "The three holes of the cunning rabbit!" Judging from the current situation, this maritime business is clearly the fastest way to make money in the world! I'm going to do this for a career in the future. But we can't put all our money in one place. Today, and take root in Japan, and return to Shuangyu and Fujian in the future, it is indispensable to do a good job. Even all over the South Seas, it is best to have a base. Wu Ping and Yu Buqi both thought deeply when they heard it.

In fact, although the East 'Gate' Qing said so, he really had a reluctance to love Hirado in his heart, after all, this is the first 'spring' wind after he came to the first place of pride in the spring, especially when lying in Matsuura Aya's arms, it is Shu Zhongle and does not think about Shu! It's only occasionally when the south wind comes, when I think of Yue'e, I feel guilty, but I just say in my heart: "That's it!" Now the wind is not going well! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't go back. What do you want to do with these! Wait until the wind turns. ”

On this day, someone suddenly came to tell him that Hakata had a few shops to sell out, and the price was very cost-effective, and asked if he was interested in Dongmenqing. He felt that if there were stores in Hirado and Hakata, then he could communicate directly with the Ouchi family, and he could continue to expand eastward to open up markets such as Kyoto and Kaikai, and if the goods he shipped from China did not have to go through the merchants in Japan and directly did business with the daimyos, then each load of raw silk could earn at least three or five percent more, or even double! Therefore, I was interested in going to Hakata.

Matsuura Takanobu was a little worried, and said to Higashimon Kei, "From Hirado to Hakata, you will pass through the sphere of influence of the Ryuzoji family, so it is better not to go." ”

East Gate' Qingqi said: "What if you pass by? Is their family very arrogant? Or is there a feud with the Matsuura family? ”

Matsuura Takashi said: "Originally, it was not very friendly, because the Ryuzoji family and the Shaoji family assisted by his family have always had the intention of annexing our Matsuura family. However, in the past two years, at least on the surface, it has improved again, because ...... Because we are married. ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled: "That's the in-laws, so what are you worried about." ”

Matsuura Takanshin smiled dryly: "If it weren't for his in-laws, or even for the enemy, he saw that you were a merchant of the Ming Dynasty, and maybe he would politely let you go, but now that he has become a family, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid that there will be some blockages. ”

Dongmen' Qing frowned and said, "What is the obstacle, you might as well say it directly." ”

Matsuura Takanobu lowered his voice and said, "Ayako and the full moon of the Ryuzoji family originally had a marriage covenant. Because the full moon has not yet returned to the vulgar, it has not been married. ”

Dongmenqing was shocked when he heard this, and shouted, "There is ...... There is such a thing! ”

The so-called hatred of killing the father and taking the wife! If Matsuura Aya is the quasi-daughter-in-law of the Ryuzoji family, then the reason why the Ryuzoji family will be embarrassed by the East Gate celebration is needless to say.

"But you don't have to worry too much." Matsuura Takanbu comforted: "This year, the Ryuzoji family has just been attacked by the Shao Er family, and the entire clan has almost been wiped out! Full Moon's grandfather and father also died, and the family's most powerful great-grandfather, the family, was also seriously injured and is now hiding in Chikugo. The current Ryuzoji family is so weak that there is only one name left. ”

At this time, there are many small marquis in Japan, and the young two family mentioned in Matsuura Takanobu is also considered an important family with a long history in Kitakyushu, and the dragon temple family is a retainer of the young two family from generation to generation, but in the past 20 years, the relationship between the master and the slave has undergone subtle changes, and the contemporary dragon temple family has been the pillar of the dragon temple family and 'servant' to serve the three generations of the young two political capital, the young two capital yuan, and the young two winter shang, and has made a great contribution to resisting the invasion of the Ouchi clan, which is known as the first wealthy family in western Japan. But compared to the Shao Er family, the Ouchi family is too powerful, so the two generations of political capital and capital are 'forced' by the Ouchi family to commit suicide. In the battle that led to Zi Yuan's suicide, because Jia Jian faced the large internal army that had achieved an overwhelming 'sexual' advantage, he first persuaded Zi Yuan to surrender, resulting in the loss of *** territory, and then watched from the wall according to the soldiers' actions, so that Zi Yuan was isolated and helpless. Although later the dragon temple family still helped the son of Ziyuan Shao Er Dongshang to revive the family business, but Dong Shang has long been deeply ill with the dragon temple family, and finally launched an offensive this year, killing the son of the family and the family of Jiachun, the family 'door' and their grandson Zhou, slaughtering the main figures of the dragon temple family, only the family was spared because of the protection of the Chikugo Puchi clan.

At this time, Dongmenqing already knew that these so-called daimyo 'melee' battles and wealthy clan fights were actually similar to the armed fights in several villages in the Central Plains in terms of scale, so Matsuura Takanobu spoke with his eyebrows fluttering 'lust', but he just listened to it, and only when he roughly understood the reason, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be a lost dog, so what else is there to be afraid of!" ”

Matsuura Takashi said: "Don't say that, I just said that the great-grandfather of the full moon is not dead, but he is injured." ”

"Great-grandfather?" Dong 'Gate' Qing asked, "How old is this old man?" ”

Takashi Matsuura said, "It seems to be ninety-one years old. ”

Dongmen' Qingshu smiled and said: "There is only one person left with his toe outside the coffin, I will still be afraid of him!" ”

Matsuura Takanobu hurriedly said: "East 'Gate' Jun, home is also a rare hero of my Kitakyushu, don't be humiliated!" ”

Dongmenqing thought that the heroes here were really cheap, but still apologized: "I lost my words. ”

Matsuura Takashin stopped caring when he saw him apologize, and said with a smile: "But ah, their dragon temple family is not connected, the old one is too old, the small one is too small, and now they have encountered such a big change, and if they want to rise again, it is very slim!" ”
