Chapter 44: The Best of the White Eyebrows (2)

It's no wonder that Uncle Ma is often in a hurry, this year is approaching, if you can seize the time to get in touch with Wuximan, you can do a wave of New Year's goods transactions, and the profits are considerable.

Although Wuxi Man is closed and self-contained, they still have to do a lot of transactions with the outside world.

Because the barbarians are not self-sufficient, many daily necessities and necessities are often in short supply, but because of the treacherous merchants, they often deceive the honest and kind barbarians, resulting in constant conflicts between large and small.

The most valuable things of the barbarians are naturally mountain goods and cloth, especially cloth, which is a tribute to the royal family, which is very rare!

And what the barbarians need most is nothing more than food and salt.

These transactions are all high-profit industries, and when Ma Liang came out to study, his third brother Uncle Ma often told him again and again that he should find an opportunity to get in touch with the barbarians and start the business between the family and the barbarians.

Ma Liang is also very concerned about family affairs. Originally, the plan was to be able to get in touch with one or two small tribes, then trade with them, and then slowly grow the business.

Unexpectedly, this time I went out to study, and my luck was really good, not only with the barbarian king Shamoke, but also with the chiefs of the five major tribes.

In the alliance between the barbarian king Shamoko and the four chieftains, Maleonn personally drew up an alliance in which the major tribes suffered greatly from the sale and purchase of goods, and often clashed with the outside world over trade.

Ma Liang saw a business opportunity in it, so he suggested that it all be handled by the Barbarian Palace, and those chiefs readily agreed in order to save trouble.

Shamoke was also worried about this matter, Ma Liang naturally would not stand idly by, and promised to handle this matter for Shamoke.

In this way, Shamoke will need to rely on Ma Liang more in the future, and the friendship between the two will be able to last for a long time.

With Ma Liang's intervention, the barbarians will no longer suffer big losses because they don't understand the market and cause unnecessary conflicts in the commodity trading with the outside world.

Shamoke trusts Ma Liang a lot, so naturally he will not suspect that Ma Liang is hurting him, even if his beloved sister Sha Qiu wants to be Ma Liang's outer room, he is also very supportive.

Of course, Ma Liang is not ready to harm his friends, but he just wants the third brother to trade with Shamoke according to the market price, and the normal profit is still to be accepted.

Ma Xian listened to Ma Liang's introduction to the experience in the Xiongxi tribe, in which Ma Jian was bitten by a snake, there were twists and turns, which can be described as extremely dangerous, but it still couldn't cause much of his emotional change, after all, Ma Yan's danger had passed, and now he was standing in front of him alive.

But when he learned that Ma Liang had already taken over the entire Wuxi business, he was almost stunned on the spot!

After Ma Xian recovered from the shock, he couldn't sit still anymore, and he couldn't care about the rudeness, so he got up directly, and wanted to arrange personnel to purchase New Year's goods overnight, and prepare to sell the first batch of goods in Wuximan, and explore the way by the way.

Fortunately, Ma Jian and Ma Liang had almost eaten the meal, and they also stood up to say goodbye in the name of the fatigue of the journey, preparing to go back to their parents to say goodbye and rest.

Ma Xian is not convinced by Mr. Shuijing's comment that "Ma's five constants, the best white eyebrows" because of his talents, since he was sixteen years old, he was not convinced by Mr. Shuijing's "Ma's five constants, and the white eyebrows are the best", thinking that his talents and achievements are by no means under Ma Liang!

But this time, Ma Liang and Ma Jian strangely brought the entire Wuxi Man's business market to the Ma family, which made him completely convinced, this Ma Liang is just not in business, and his ability to grasp the opportunity is no worse than himself!

In Ma Xian's opinion, it is inconceivable that Ma Liang and his family can be recognized by the barbarian king Shamoke in such a short period of time, and they are still unconditionally trusted!

Actually, it was Ma Xian himself who thought things complicated! This matter has nothing to do with talent, but it is closely related to identity and character.

As a scholar, Ma Liang pays attention to Haoran righteousness, strictly restricts himself with the standard of a gentleman, is open-minded, and treats others with sincerity, so it is naturally easy to be recognized and trusted by others.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, full of deception, and if the businessmen are not careful, they will be deceived and lose all their money.

Such things are commonplace for businessmen, and the friendship between businessmen is measured by interests.

Every businessman needs to keep his eyes open, even if he doesn't deceive people, he is afraid that he will be deceived and lack a sense of trust between them.

Maybe some businessmen have never deceived people, thinking that they can't get the trust of others, and they are a little wronged!

In fact, it is only natural that a person who is always on guard against others will not be trusted by others.

If you are a businessman who has been deceived, deep down, there is a little hidden idea of deceiving others again, and it is very possible to cheat suddenly!

If it were Ma Xian who intersected with Shamoke, because of his businessman status and businessman's code of conduct, even if he said something extravagant, it would be impossible to gain Shamoke's trust in such a short period of time!

But Uncle Ma's talent is not fake, just relying on Ma Liang's letter, he prepared enough goods in a very short period of time, and the transaction with the barbarians was successfully completed at a favorable price.

Because the price of the goods was fair this time, and because he was Ma Liang's brother, Shamoke quickly recognized him.

Shamoke did not raise any objections to the next transaction, and completely followed Ma Shuchang's plan.

Because he already regards Ma Liang and Ma Jian as his own people, Ma Xian is naturally not an outsider.

After Ma Xian finalized the matter, he vigorously handled the matter of trading with barbarians, and the most headache for him was that the traffic between Shajiazhai and Majiahe was very inconvenient.

There are many rivers and lakes in Jingzhou, at that time, Jingzhou's transportation mainly relied on water transportation, goods were transported from Majiahe to Shajiazhai, and the waterway should first walk hundreds of miles of waterway in the opposite direction to enter the Yangtze River waterway.

Then it goes up from the Yangtze River to Dongting Lake, and from Dongting Lake to the Xiangjiang River. Then from the Xiangjiang River upstream, there are dozens of miles of waterway, only to arrive at Shajiazhai.

This waterway not only greatly increases the cost of transportation of goods, but also because of the high wind and waves along the way, there are many reefs, and the ships are prone to problems, and there are many water thieves along the way, which is also very risky.

In this way, the advantage in the price of goods is gone, if the asking price is too low, there is no money to be made, if the asking price is too high, the barbarians will probably not accept it.

In order to reduce costs, Ma Xian personally walked along this waterway, wanting to conduct field investigations to change this situation.

Ma Xian is really talented, especially in the shopping mall!

It didn't take long for him to find a way, Uncle Ma often bought a large piece of wasteland on the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, because it could not be cultivated here, and the price was very cheap.
