Chapter 377: Boris's Worries

Five days later, Qian Hongyi's study.

Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu were sitting precariously, both of them looking at Qian Hongyi with hope.

Qian Hongyi smiled slightly, and said: "Two sons, there is a lot of controversy in the court about the sale of snow salt, and it is difficult for the imperial brother to make a decision. However, for this matter of benefiting the country and the people, the official still supports it.

In this way, you can first transport a small amount of snow salt to Mingzhou City for test marketing. If the sales are good, you can slowly increase the supply. ”

Na Zhe preemptively said: "Lord Thorn Shi, our snow salt is of high quality and low price, and if it is sold in the market, it will definitely be very popular." Then you should be prepared that the salt dealers will lose all their money, they will not take risks, right? ”

Qian Hongyi nodded: "Therefore, you must control the amount of shipments, and you can't transport too much snow salt at once, so as not to make the merchants who sell salt lose too much money." ”

Cui Daoshu continued: "Lord Assassin, please rest assured, we will not force the merchants and salt dealers in Mingzhou to a dead end, that will not do us any good." We will gradually increase our shipments and try to get both salt sellers and salt dealers to sell our snow salt. Let them all be profitable, and everyone will get rich together. ”

Qian Hongyi was very pleased, he said with a smile: "Cui Gongzi is broad-minded, if you can pull the merchants and salt sellers to make a fortune together, it will be a good thing for everyone." Moreover, the people of Li can also get benefits, and the government can also get a lot of money, and the official will definitely support you. ”

So the three of them discussed the details warmly, and soon two hours passed.

Everyone was a little tired, Qian Hongyi asked the maid to bring tea, and asked Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu to taste it.

Na Zhe drank a cup of tea, and then asked, "Master Thorn Shi, have you taken the medicine?" How are you feeling these days? ”

Qian Hongyi said with emotion: "This 'cephalosporin' is really a miracle medicine!" Benguan has already eaten everything, and he doesn't cough much in the past few days, his lungs are very comfortable, and he can sleep well at night. Thank you so much. ”

Cui Daoshu said: "That's good, Lord Thorn Shi will recuperate for a while, and it is estimated that his body will be fine." ”

Old man Lu, who was standing next to him, interjected: "Two sons, the old man is very grateful to you. Shiro's health is getting better and better day by day these days, thanks to your miracle medicine! Thank you for your great kindness, if you have any difficulties in Mingzhou City, just come to the old man, and the old man will definitely help you solve them all. ”

Na Zhe and Cui Dao were overjoyed, stood up and thanked Old Man Lu.

Old man Lu stroked his beard and said, "You two boys don't need to thank me, if you have good wine, you can send a few more jars to the old man." Then the old man will be satisfied, haha! ”

"No problem, no problem, we don't have much else on Qishan Island, and there is a lot of wine, which will definitely satisfy your old man." Na Zhe hurriedly made a statement.

---------------- ---------------------------- -------------------

November 12 of the first year of Qiande (963 AD)

At the wharf in the east of Qishan Island, a sea ship docked the trestle, and the sailor had just set up the gangplank, so Na Zhe couldn't wait to get off the boat, and then waved to Cui Daoshu, who was still on the boat, and shouted loudly:

"Old Seven, you count the goods slowly, I'll go home first. It is estimated that Fang Juniang and Sister Weak Lan both want to die of Lao Tzu. ”

Na Zhe ran away with a smoke, and Cui Daoshu shook his head helplessly: "This guy with the opposite sex and inhumanity!" That's a really fast run! ”

Cui Daoshu cleaned up his mood and began to count the purchased materials with the personnel of the Ministry of Commerce, and urged the stevedores on the dock to start unloading and transporting materials to the warehouse. It was busy until dusk.

After dinner, the high-level figures of Seven Seas Company gathered in the conference room, and Zhao Zizhong first asked, "Old Seven, you and Na Zhe went out smoothly this time, right?" Why didn't you see that? Where did he go? ”

Cui Daoshu said with a wry smile: "Brother, the third brother went home as soon as he got off the boat, just now I sent someone to find him for a meeting, but he said that it has been too hard these days, and he wants to take a good rest, so he won't come." I can't help it. ”

Zhao Zi was happy: "This kid is also a lazy guy, we don't care about him, Lao Qi, you can talk about going to Mingzhou." ”

So Cui Daoshu began to tell about his experience in Mingzhou, and he talked for more than an hour before he made it clear what happened in Mingzhou.

Cui Daoshu immediately sat down, picked up the tea bowl and drank it.

Zhao Zizhong slapped happily: "Yes, yes, it seems that our cephalosporin has not been given to Qian Hongyi in vain, Lao Qi and Na Zhe have done a very good job, we have successfully opened the sea salt market in Mingzhou, so that our sea salt will not be sold next year!" ”

Wei Hongye said happily: "Next year, we will develop the flow of large-scale demand, need a large amount of money and materials, Mingzhou is very close to us, it is very convenient to purchase materials, and here is the key point of the North and South Ocean traffic, there are many overseas businessmen who come to trade every year, if our various products open the market in the Mingzhou area, then we will make a lot of money!" Hehe. ”

As a result, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became warm, and everyone exchanged heads and ears, and the scene was lively for a while.

Zhao Zi saw Boris frowning again, looking down and thinking about something, which was incompatible with this lively scene.

So Zhao Zizhong asked, "Boris, what are you thinking?" What is there to say and hear? Let's all figure it out together. ”

Boris raised his head, his face a little solemn.

"Boss, I don't think it's that simple, let's not be too optimistic."

Zhao Zizhong raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" Did you find something wrong? ”

"Boss, think about it, we are very close to Mingzhou, and not far from Hangzhou, the capital of Wu Yueguo. If our sea salt swept the entire market of Wu Yue Kingdom with a devastating trend, would the top management of Wu Yue Kingdom be indifferent? That's a lot of business with millions of dollars a year! ”

Wei Hongye nodded: "Boris's concerns are very reasonable, after all, Wu Yueguo is too close to us. We need to be careful. ”

Zhao Zi slapped the table again, "Quiet, quiet, don't make noise, let's listen to Boris's opinion." ”

The room soon fell silent, and everyone looked at Boris.

Boris cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, our staff has been studying the situation in Wu Yueguo in the past few days. Because we Seven Seas Company want to expand our sphere of influence, Wu Yueguo will definitely make some moves. It is very likely that we will have a conflict with Wu Yueguo, so we must make a plan so as not to be caught off guard when we get it. ”

Zhang Hong, the second goods, asked: "Mr. Bao, it's not that serious, right?" Wu Yueguo's Mingzhou Sailors have been bought by us, and they have collected the money, so they won't embarrass us, right? ”

Boris shook his head: "I'm not talking about the rice buckets of the Mingzhou Sailors, but the high-level figures of Wu Yueguo in Hangzhou." If we sell a large amount of salt to Wu Yueguo, it will touch the interests of those people. As the saying goes, 'Cutting off a person's wealth is like killing a parent'. They will not remain indifferent. ”

Cui Zhaorong said: "Mr. Bao is right, Haiyan's business is amazingly profitable, and if these businesses are taken away by others, no one will give up." I heard that the salt industry of Wu Yue Kingdom is controlled by several royal figures, and even the lord of Wu Yue Kingdom will not easily touch them. We need to be cautious! ”

Cui Daoshu hurriedly came out to say: "Sixth brother's worry is very reasonable, I didn't expect this, I made a mistake." I would like to review it with you, and I hope that you will brainstorm and come up with a foolproof solution. ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said: "We are all speculating now, and there is no real evidence. We need the support of intelligence to be able to respond accordingly. In this way, the Ministry of Commerce and the General Staff Department both sent people to Hangzhou to inquire about the news of Wu Yueguo's high-level officials. Only when we have detailed information can we use it as a basis for decision-making. ”

Wei Hongye nodded: "Yes!" Zhao Kuangyin said: 'On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly.' If we sell a large amount of salt in the territory of Wu Yue Kingdom, the high-level officials of Wu Yue Kingdom will definitely not give up. We must be cautious! ”

Boris added: "Ladies and gentlemen, our staff will pay close attention to Wu Yueguo's every move, and hope that you will not act blindly and bring bad influence to our Seven Seas Company." ”

Zhao Zizhong glanced at the people in the room and found that some people didn't care at all, most of them were officers led by Zhang Hong and Guo Jintao. Most of the other civilian personnel listened to it, and their faces were a little solemn.

Zhao Zizhong shook his head, it seems that those rough blanks of the escort team are still heartless! They simply don't realize the gravity of the matter.

At this time, Liang Daguan, who was hiding in the corner of the conference room, stabbed Cao Yongxian, who was dozing off, and Cao Yongxian immediately turned his head and looked at Liang Daguan in surprise.

"Uncle Shi, what's the matter with you?" Cao Yongxian asked in a low voice.

"Did you hear it just now, Mr. Wei said, Zhao Kuangyin once said, 'On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly'. Have you ever heard of it, boy? ”

Cao Yongxian was a little dazed: "I haven't heard it, when did the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty say it?" ”

Liang Daguan shook his head: "This old man doesn't know, after the meeting, ask Mr. Wei." ”

Zhao Zizhong's voice came: "In this way, we can't waste food because of choking, Old Seven, you first organize a small batch of sea salt and transport it to Mingzhou City to be handed over to the Thorn History Mansion." Let them try to sell a little and see how the market reacts. Then let's make countermeasures based on the reactions of the people in Mingzhou City, combined with the information we have gathered. ”

Cui Daoshu nodded and agreed: "Brother, I will handle this matter tomorrow and transport a few thousand catties of salt to Mingzhou City first." What do you think? ”

Several rough billets in the room shouted:

"It's only a few thousand pounds?"

"Too little, right?"

"Why don't you get a boat?"

"Yes, transport hundreds of thousands of catties first, otherwise it won't be enough to toss back and forth."
