Chapter 165: Profiteers
Xiyang, Huangzhou, Bakou, Wang Wei stepped on the ground of the Xigang wharf, looking at the busy scene in front of him, it took him a long time to react, this is the port outside the city of Huangzhou Prefecture, not the wharf of a big city near the river. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ancestors of the Wang family have been in business and have accumulated a lot of wealth, and they are the heroes of Zhuyang County, Shangzhou, Wang Wei has been to Chang'an, Luoyang, and has seen the prosperous scene, so he should not have such an illusion, but the prosperity of Bakou has exceeded his expectations.
The big cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are Jiangling, Xiangyang, Xiakou, Huangkou, etc., how have you ever heard of Xiyang?
"Wang Dudu, please go this way."
"Hao Beijiang, please."
Wang Wei rode on his horse and marched towards Xiyang City with Hao Daring, who came to greet him, but the accompanying clansmen did not go along, and stayed on the dock to talk to the shopkeeper of the Ruixing, but there were many goods to be "handed over" on the big ship that had just docked.
The governor of the capital came to Xiyang on business, and the young lord of the Wang family, Wang Bian, came to Xiyang to do business, and the two were not delayed.
According to the grade of Zhou Guo, the governor of the capital is eight lives, and the grade of Don't General is six lives, Wang Wei's grade is three levels higher than Hao Daring, but he knows that the other party can come to greet him, because this is a general under the command of Yuwen Wen, the governor of Huangzhou.
A big defeat at the beginning of the year made Wang Wei a prisoner of Yuwenwen, and later he persuaded his own clansmen and the county guard of Zhuyang to abandon the darkness and return to the Zhou state, and led the Zhou army to cross the Qinling Mountains and attack Huazhou by Shidiyu.
The Zhou army recovered Guanzhong, and then broke through Luozhou and Shaanzhou, and defeated the Sui State It was a foregone conclusion, and Wang Bian, who atonemented for his crimes, was not affected by his military position and clansmen, not only that, but also valued by Yuwenwen, the governor of Huangzhou.
What he values is the connections that his Wang family has accumulated over the years of business.
The topic changed too quickly, Wang Wei couldn't accept it for a while, Yu Wenwen, who was dressed in military uniform, was still studying the terrain around Shangzhou with him one moment, and the next moment he began to talk about cooperation and trade routes, which was simply incredible.
There is no good production in Shangzhou, salvia is one of the good local products, and walnuts are everywhere, Yuwenwen took a fancy to this business opportunity, and wanted to "sign a big order" with Wang Wei, which made this Wang Dadu Governor confused.
He really couldn't understand that Yu Wenwen, who was fighting for his life in a surprise attack on the battlefield, could negotiate with others after killing people just after the battle, what was his thinking?
Wang Wei set out from Zhuyang, carried salvia and walnuts to Shangluo, changed to a boat and went down the Danshui River into Hanshui, and then entered the Yangtze River in Hankou, and the cargo ship anchored in Xiakou.
talked about some official and private affairs, and then took a boat out of the mouth and his own cargo ship, and went down the river to Xiyang together, and Wang Bian, who came to Xiyang, was actually a businessman who talked about business.
But he really wanted some face, so Yu Wenwen arranged not to greet Hao Boldly, it was regarded as an "official reception", and after entering the city, it was another person who came to greet him.
"Wang Dongjia, please inside."
"Shopkeeper Wang, please inside."
In a private room in Wuwei Zhai, Wang Bi and Wang Yue, the big shopkeeper of Ruixing, talked about wine, although the status of Shang Jia Ming was not good in these years, but Wang Bi was also born as a businessman, and there was nothing to taboo.
"Salvia from Shangluo, just sold out in Xiyang, now with the strong support of Wang Dongjia, there is another financial road, I don't know how Xiyang cloth is sold in Shangzhou?"
"Xiyang cloth is cheap and cheap, much better than ordinary homespun cloth, and when it is settled in Guanzhong, I think the sales will increase several times."
"The contempt has no foundation in Guanzhong, and it will have to rely on the help of the Wang family in the future."
The two toasted to each other, and then drank it all, although the Wang Wei family settled in the Yang, but it is impossible to do business only in the mountains, Guanzhong and Luozhou have some ways, which is exactly what Yu Wenwen needs.
You can reach Guanzhongzhou and Pujin to the north, go west to Wuguan Road to go to Guanzhong Chang'an, and go east along Luoshui outside the city to pass through Lu's can go directly to Luoyang, although there are many mountain roads along the way, but the advantage is naturally not afraid of hardships.
Speaking of business, Yuwenwen urgently needs to expand business routes to make money to supplement huge expenses, and Wang Wei has naturally become the best partner.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Yue ordered someone to bring up a plate covered with a red cloth, and today Wang argued that the two sides are not just as simple as drinking, and they have to have the appearance of doing business.
"Wang Dongjia, please take a look."
Wang Yue gently lifted the red cloth, revealing the two walnuts on the plate, the walnuts have a neat and round appearance, a deep and clear texture, and the color is dark red and looks crystal clear, as if they have been held in their hands for many years.
"What is this?"
Wang Wei looked at Wang Yue, and when he nodded, he picked up the two walnuts, put them in the palm of his hand and looked at them carefully, looked at them for a moment, and looked at Wang Yue again with a surprised face.
"Shopkeeper Wang, this... This walnut? ”
"These are the two walnuts that he brought back by the way when Guogong asked him to send a letter to his family last time, and they are exactly what Wang Dong's family brings."
"This..."Wang Wei looked at the two walnuts in his hand again, and the more he looked at it, the more he was surprised.
The exact texture was almost indistinguishable from left to right, but he remembered that the two walnuts were still a little different, and the color was not so dark, after all, they were only walnuts that had been picked for less than a year.
"Wang Dongjia, please see, these two walnuts are exactly the same in shape and texture, short and abrupt, tight and loose at the end, wide and Zheng, orange and yellow in color, deep and stretched in texture, and huge and thick at the bottom..."
Wang Wei looked at Wang Yue dumbfounded, and the other party said that the benefits of this pair of walnuts were all over the place, not only that, but also had a name, called "Wenwan Walnut".
"Wang Dongjia, such a pair of walnuts, after decades of playing, look at the pulp... Tsk, it's not expensive to sell for hundreds, right? ”
O profiteers! It's so lucrative!
Wang Wei almost blurted out, this pair of walnuts was found casually in Zhuyang at the request of Yu Wenwen, there are many walnuts there, so it is not unusual, this pair of walnuts is just similar in texture and shape, the color at that time was not like this, and what kind of pulp...
What is toning?
Holding these two walnuts, he looked at them carefully a few times, and still felt that this exactly the same texture was too incredible, he had eaten so many walnuts since he was a child, and he had never seen the exact same texture.
"Presumably Wang Dongjia also knows that there is something strange in it, this walnut has been slightly processed in the contempt, hehe."
A little processing?
Wang Wei didn't think so, just saying that the crystal clear shells of these two walnuts, as well as the dark red color, would not be something that could be made by "a little processing".
So... Even if it only sells for a few dozen times, it's all a huge profit!
He was still a little tender, and what he thought in his heart could not be hidden, and there were some clues on his face for Wang Yue to see, and he naturally judged that this person was irresistible, Wang Yue knew that Yuwenwen wanted to expand the business route, and he needed Wang Wei to be a strong partner like Wang Wen.
Ruixing does business, there has always been money for everyone to earn together, since it is necessary to use the Wang family's door, then the transfer of interests is inevitable.
Clapped his hands, and another person walked in with a plate covered with a red cloth, Wang Yue uncovered the red cloth, and what was displayed in front of Wang Wei was a peach pit sculpture.
The peach pit that is not long is carved into a boat, and the characters on the boat must be seen, and other things such as canopies, windows, poles, pots, furnaces, etc., are all available, and it is really hard to imagine how this thing is carved.
"Wang Dongjia, this is a miniature carving, if craftsmen from other places come to carve, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time, but the craftsmen have the know-how, and they can be carved within a few days." Wang Yue laughed lightly, "A peach pit is not worth a penny, and there is not much artificiality, but the nuclear boat made of this miniature carving must be able to sell for several times." ”
Seeing Wang Wei looking at the nuclear carving in a daze, Wang Yue offered generous conditions: "If you want to play walnuts and the sales of this nuclear carving, Wang Dongjia is very confident, right?" (To be continued.) )
