"What are you talking about? If anyone dares to rob Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu will smash him with one punch! ”

Wang Tianxing listened to the clouds and mountains and mist, and some superficial truths were naturally understood, but when it came to a deeper level of understanding, it was a little difficult for him.

Zhen Jiu has long been accustomed to Wang Tianxing's brazenness, and sometimes people wonder if Wang Tianxing and Wang Qun are father and son, why is the gap so big?

"Although we have received a huge amount of gold from the Black Tiger's lair, this gold has no meaning to us now, in other words, the money cannot be used?"

"It doesn't work!" Wang Tianxing opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhen Qian suspiciously, if this sentence came out of someone else's mouth, he would definitely be laughed to death by Wang Tianxing: "Why?" ”

"Yes! Master, weren't we short of money before? Why can't it be used now? ”

"Some of the truths are very difficult to explain to you now?" Zhen Qian quickly simplified the complex problem in his mind, and if he ate too much, he would die! Too heavy a burden will crush you! Sometimes having more money isn't a good thing.

"Let's give you an analogy, if you buy a steamed bun for a penny, and now suddenly two people want to buy a steamed bun with a penny each, what do you say?"

"Just make another steamed bun", Wang Tianxing grinned and said indifferently.

Zhen Qian was speechless and continued: "But the person who sells steamed bread has only one steamed bun, will there be competition between two people to buy it, if ten people want to buy this steamed bread, will the price of steamed bread for one penny go up?" ”

"Of course it will, will it be the same as the Qing officials in the Qinglou combing the money? When a Qing official meets a few prostitutes, he doesn't rush to pay a high price! ”

Wang Tianxing's words were not rough, and he really understood, so he said: "Why is the gold and copper of the Wa Kingdom cheap, but the gold of the Tang Dynasty is more valuable, the reason is that there is too much gold in the Wa Kingdom, and the economic strength of the Wa Kingdom itself is weak, so the comparison of gold and copper coins is cheaper than that of the Tang Dynasty, you two think about it, if we invest so much gold in the Hizen Country now, or even the entire Saikaido, will it cause the Hizen Kingdom, or the gold of the Saikaido to be even more worthless?" ”

"That seems to be the case?" Wang Tianxing touched a few messy beards under his chin, revealing an honest expression.

Zhen Jiu, who had not spoken, spoke: "I understand! It is true that this gold is not suitable for use in the Wakoku country, at least not in the Saikaido Province, or in the Hizen country, which is not only not good for the poor places, but will reduce our purchasing power and make the gold in our hands shrink significantly! ”

"That's a good point!" Zhen Qian approvingly: "The gold in our hands is actually a sharp double-edged sword, as long as we are willing, we can collapse the economy of the entire Xikaido in a short period of time, if we have a hundred times more gold in our hands, we can even make the small Japanese economy return to the original state of barter, this is the power of gold?" ”

With so much gold all of a sudden, Zhen Qian was very happy, and his plan finally took the most solid step and had the capital for large-scale expansion.

Two years ago, he was just the eldest son of a family, and he looked very beautiful, but he couldn't do anything. In the past two years, he has opened restaurants, brewed soju, and operated money villages, and one industry after another has grown from scratch in his own hands, from the first pot of gold of six or seven thousand yuan to a family business of 100,000 yuan, so that Zhen Qian really has the capital to fight.

But what really made Zhen Qian's funds abundant was three transactions without capital, the first time in Yangzhou Yin An Lushan more than 200,000 yuan, allowing himself to lay a solid foundation in the south. The second time was a ransom of 100,000 yuan from Shaoer Dongshang, so that he quietly bought a large number of grain and slaves, and he could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Wufeng Islands. The third time was to fight against the pirate Nine Ghost Jialong, and more than 100,000 pieces were seized.

This time, the black tiger who exterminated Fengming Mountain captured more than 2 million guan at once, and the money will be used for trade between the Wa Kingdom, the Silla Kingdom and the Balhae Kingdom, in exchange for greater living space and resources for themselves.

"Master, now that we don't worry about money anymore, what should we do next?"

"Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing and knows honor and disgrace!" Zhen Qian smiled happily: "We used to worry that we didn't have enough money, so we asked you to pretend to be pirates in the Bohai Sea to rob the past maritime merchants, but now that we have enough money in our hands, it is a little inappropriate to do those things again......." ”

Zhen Jiu pretended to be a pirate and robbed on the Bohai Sea, although his hands were not stained with blood, but every penny he robbed, because it would make people forget etiquette and shame because he didn't get it for nothing, this kind of thing often only appeared when the capital was originally accumulated, and if it was a long time ago, he would become a real pirate, which of course was not what Zhen Qian wanted to see.

"If we don't be pirates, what can we do?" Zhen Jiu's brain didn't turn around all of a sudden.

"Be a law-abiding maritime merchant!" Zhen Qian looked at Zhen Jiu with a smile, blinked his eyes, and said in a playful tone: "You weren't a pirate before, we just didn't have money to do trade, but now that we have money in our hands, there is no shortage of manpower and ships, of course we have to start doing legitimate business?" ”

"Do legitimate business, then ......, the master is saying that like Zhen Da, he trades with Liaodong Hushang, Wa State, Silla State, and Bohai State, but we have no experience in this area, and we have no channels for other maritime merchants, how can this business be done?"

"Why are you confused all of a sudden?"

Zhen Qian asked Zhen Jiu and Wang Tianxing to sit down, poured two cups of tea for the two of them, and said: "We don't have the experience of those maritime merchants in business, and we don't have a trading channel in these countries, but you don't forget, we have our own advantages, glass, jade porcelain, salt, shochu, soap, perfume, etc., these are goods that other maritime merchants do not have, and we don't even need to deal with merchants from these countries, such as Wang Guanqi and Mu Zhimeng and others we know, they have their own business channels in Silla and Balhae, We can sell the goods directly to them, although the money is a little less, but we don't have to deal with these foreign merchants in person, and then buy the goods we need through them, which is also a way to do business? ”

Zhen Jiu found that he couldn't keep up with Zhen Qian's thinking, and in business, Zhen Qian didn't have many business-minded people under him, and Zhen Jiu said that these were difficult for some strong people.

"You think about it slowly, I'm not asking you to really do business, just letting you know these things?"

It is impossible for Zhen Qian to stay in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, and in the future, the affairs of the Wa State will be handed over to Zhen Jiu to deal with, and he talks so much to Zhen Jiu, just hoping that his own words will give Zhen Jiu a new understanding of business and let him have a concept of the overall situation.
