There are also risks associated with the cooked silk thread business, and the storage of thread is a big problem.

Chen Chuan himself said just now, arson, moisture-proof, insect-proof. Chen Chuan and Liu Biao are close to each other, so that they can do this silk and hemp business in this Jingzhou realm.

Business is also doing greatly. But Chen Chuan didn't dare to buy too much cooked silk thread, so as not to store it improperly, resulting in no return.

No way, no one dares to guarantee that this kind of thing is safe. Even if it is in case, in case of an accident, it will definitely be miserable.

And doing this business, of course, is also fast in and fast out.

After the purchase, it is true to sell it quickly, and there is no benefit in squeezing it in your hands. And if you can sell 200,000 cooked silk threads at once, then the price can of course be discussed.

Fast in and out.

It is risky to put the cooked silk thread in your hands, and you can sell it quickly, although you make a little less money. But it was also a quick collection of funds, and soon a batch of cooked silk threads were acquired.

Anyway, because of the stability of the south, there are many people who plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms, and the output of raw silk in Jingzhou has always been very large, and the supply is sufficient.

As long as you sell it, you can buy it back. The shorter the buying and selling cycle, the more you earn.

The matter of small profits and quick turnover, ancient and modern businessmen understand this truth.

Chen Chuan was immediately moved, but soon became suspicious.

Although the local merchants of this house have been doing business with me, the scale has always been very small, why did they suddenly become more generous, could it be that there is fraud in it?

This is called the dog looking down on the person.

But it's also normal.

It's like two farming families, living next to each other for many years. Wear the same ragged linen clothes every day, rain or shine. Suddenly, the neighbor became broad, put on a brocade robe, got into a chariot, and behaved as if he were a scholar.

It will only bring horror.

Chen Chuan is also a philistine businessman, so the first thing that came to mind was that there was fraud in it. So Chen Chuan probed and asked tentatively: "200,000 catties of cooked silk thread, this business is not small." Where did Mr. Lee make his fortune lately? ”

Li Zhong is also a businessman who has been a businessman all his life, and when he heard this, he didn't know that Chen Chuan was suspicious. However, the other party's reaction is normal.

And when it comes to this, Li Zhong is still a little proud.

"As the so-called officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen, there are officials behind them to do business. Mr. Chen, you have some connections with Liu Zhennan, so this business is getting bigger and bigger. This time, I also encountered such a good thing. ”

Li Zhong was a little proud, but also a little high-spirited.

This is the joy and enjoyment brought by wearing Guan Ping's tiger skin.

As Li Zhong said, officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen, the official word is in the front, and the business word is in the back, and only by colluding with businessmen can the two sides soar. Why did Li Zhong agree to this matter of setting up a factory?

Why would Guan Ping smash the pot and sell iron to contribute when he did not contribute?

Of course, the main reason is that he is optimistic about this business, Guan Ping has a good official reputation and a brand.

There is another reason, that is, I also want to take the boat of Guan Ping.

If you look at Chen Chuan, you will know how much money he has made since Liu Biao became the lord of Jingzhou. At present, although Guan Ping is only a Fangling county guard, the population has grown up like a snowball.

Of course, Li Zhong is just an ordinary businessman, and his vision is not so long-term, and he can't see that the power of the Guan family is on the rise, and the future is unlimited.

Just because Guan Ping is the Taishou of Fangling, and Guan Yu is the general Du Xinye, this official skin is already Li Zhong's official skin.

Only by colluding with officials and businessmen can the tide rise.

Chen Ruyan showed a look of relief and believed Li Zhong's words. Speaking of collusion between officials and businessmen, Chen Chuan was deeply touched, and he must know that before Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, he was just a small businessman.

After Liu Biao became the lord of Jingzhou, Chen Chuan began to soar.

If a businessman does not have the protection of officials, he really cannot become big.

And Chen Chuan, a person who can make his business bigger, his status has also begun to rise, and the level of contact has begun to be different, he deeply knows that Guan Ping is not a simple person.

Let's not look at it from any other angle.

From the perspective of a businessman, Guan Ping helped Liu Bei to make plans and did a lot of things, and Mi's wine was developed, which was not a means of a businessman, and he could only say a secret recipe.

But later, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun combined to resist Mi's wine, and almost made Mi's wine stillborn. Guan Ping personally went to Jiangdong, and after a series of means, Mi's wine entered the case of the Jiangdong scholars and became a must-have for the banquet.

Because the Guan family is really a bit strong at present, Guan Ping personally went south to capture Fangling, and at the foot of Miliang Mountain, defeated Sima under Wang Wei's battalion, brave and good at fighting, just like his father.

It is the talent of a fierce general.

Liu Biao began to investigate everything about Guan Ping, and this investigation was really incredible. Guan Ping made Mi's wine and went to Jiangdong to do something, Liu Biao knew everything.

Moreover, Guan Ping took the opportunity to suggest that Liu Bei set up a bazaar in Xinye City to attract merchants from the north and south to gather, and take the opportunity to collect a tax from the large transactions.

To put it simply, it is to start the business of dental dealing.

Yahang is the middleman, responsible for communicating with the north and the south. For example, a merchant from Xiangyang from Bashu wanted to buy cloth, but because he had just entered the treasure land, he couldn't find a way, so he looked for a tooth shop.

After the introduction, the transaction is completed and a sum of money is received as a reward.

Guan Ping set up a market in Xinye and ordered Mi Fang to manage it. Merchants from the north and south would hang their wares in the bazaar, keep them in the government's office, and then see at a glance who wanted to buy what.

The government collects taxes, isn't it a dental business?

Although Mi's wine is making money every day, the big market in Xinye is also extraordinary. Otherwise, Shinno would not have reached the current point so quickly.

At present, although the population of Shinno has become slow, various military materials, leather, iron ore, beef tendon, grain, firewood, and other materials are piling up.

The granary, the arsenal was stuffed to the brim.

I heard that Jigu can supply 200,000 soldiers and civilians for three years, which is really terrifying. There are also buying horses everywhere, plowing cattle, and I heard that the cavalry has a thousand scales.

It's really scary.

A war horse costs ten gold. A thousand-scale cavalry needs 10,000 gold, and I heard that Xinye's cavalry is still one person with two horses, a war horse, and a horse.

Coupled with the cost of serving the war horse, the cost of the horse is simply astronomical. Moreover, as a businessman, Chen Chuan knew that there were very few war horses in the south, and the number of cavalry in Guan Ping was expanding rapidly.

Xinye made a lot of money, but spent more and spent it like running water. This force is really terrifying, like a war machine, and all the money is spent on the machine.

And the credit for all this is Guan Ping's idea.

Mi's wine, bazaar.

From a businessman's point of view, Guan Ping, a boy in his teens, is really the god of wealth from the sky, terrifying.

From the perspective of a strategist, Guan Ping solved the money and food crisis for Liu Bei, not to mention resourcefulness, at least he has a lot of ideas.

Smart.

Guan Ping defeated Sima Wang Yan, a battalion under Wang Wei, on the Miliang Mountain, and was absolutely brave and good at fighting. I heard people (Liu Yan) say that Guan Ping is also a good leader of the troops, and Liu Bei is a Sima of other departments, commanding hundreds of people, neatly dressed, and strict military orders, which is by no means unusual.

As a businessman, Guan Ping is excellent.

As a strategist, Guan Ping seems to be good.

As a general, Guan Ping is also excellent.

The most incredible thing is that Guan Ping actually went south to seize Fangling and sat firmly. The area between Xiangyang and Fangling is separated by mountains, and the road is impassable.

Only Han water is connected.

But the news also kept coming from Fangling, and I heard that Guan Ping was doing a very good job as a taishou, and his power increased greatly. He is currently training his troops.

Don't look at the current Guan Ping, who is subordinate to his father Guan Yu, but he can be regarded as a prince.

The title of prince can be interpreted differently at different times. In peacetime, the princes refer to the princes, and no matter how many feudal households, they are all liehous.

Nowadays, princes are the heroes.

Zhang Lu was the county guard of Hanzhong, who had been in Hanzhong for many years, and was also an iron-clad prince. Guan Ping seized Fangling, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, two or three hundred thousand people, and he was also a prince.

The father and son work together, and they can already keep pace with Zhang Lu.

Of course, the strength of a power cannot be concluded through simple calculations, but also involves all aspects.

The main thing is that the princes are strong, and the subordinates are strong.

If the military is strong, the people will be strong, and the soldiers will be strong. If the people are strong and the soldiers are strong, they can win more with less, just like Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao.

Chen Chuan is a little bit of an eye, and he can get in touch with the inner circle of Jingzhou, so he is a little worried. He is well aware of the current situation in Jingzhou.

The armament is lax, and the army is full of vulgar people.

Although there were many warships, many of them were damaged and in disrepair.

There are also many problems with civil officials, most of whom are greedy for money and empty talk, who occupy high positions and real power, such as Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Yue and other think tanks, which are on the margins.

Chen Chuan felt that the current Guan family and the Liu family were just like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If there is no external force to borrow, the Guan family will be able to defeat the Liu family after all.

At most, it's just a few more years.

Chen Chuan was very worried about this.

Chen Chuan and Liu Biao are a bit related, they have been in business for many years, and their families are wealthy, so they are afraid of this.

This is also the shortcomings of officials and businessmen, if the official skins are fallen, how can businessmen survive?

All in all, Chen Chuan felt that Guan Ping's future was limitless, so he was a little envious of Li Zhong, a small businessman, who was fortunate to be able to make a fortune behind Guan Ping's ass.

What a lucky guy.

Many distractions swirled in my head, but eventually they dissipated. Chen Chuan returned to the present, he smiled and arched his hand to Li Zhong, and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Li." ”

After congratulating him, Chen Chuan pondered for a moment before saying: "200,000 catties of cooked silk thread is indeed a big business, I currently only have 100,000 catties of cooked silk thread in the warehouse, and it will take three days to gather 200,000 yuan." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's three days, what does it matter?" Li Zhong also changed back to the business channel and said seriously.

"How about four hundred and forty dollars for a pound of cooked silk thread?" Chen Chuan pondered again, and then asked tentatively.

The price of cooked silk thread has been very stable, and the market price has been maintained at 450 yuan a catty, and the cost of a piece of cloth needs 9,000 yuan.

The middleman sold it to the woman at the same price, and when the lady had finished weaving it, the merchant bought a piece of cloth for nine thousand two hundred dollars and sold it for ten thousand dollars.

The profits are already quite high.

And what does a pound of cooked silk 440 yuan represent?
