"Boss Li doesn't have to worry, Nanji can still bear this concession. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info you just need to check well and give the best raw silk to Nan Kee. However, speaking of which, Nanji really has some things to ask Boss Li to help with. Boss Nan seemed to know Li Shuigen's worries, and smiled comfortingly.

"Boss Nan, please command! Li must do it! Li Shuigen naturally slapped his chest loudly.

After talking about this batch of raw silk business, Li Shuigen was in a happy mood.

"Boss Li must have guessed that Nanji came from the south, and the raw silk was also sold directly to foreigners." Boss Nan nodded, and said half-concealedly: "It just so happens that Nanji wants to develop some business in Shudi, and Boss Li is a local, so I want to encounter something in Shudi in the future, and ask Boss Li to come forward to help." ”

Li Shuigen was shocked! This South boss is really from the south.

But he immediately came back to his senses, which was actually not surprising, it was really as he had guessed!

For this inconspicuous little shop, he naturally felt strange that he took out tens of thousands of taels of silver without blinking. In addition, he is his only business partner, so he naturally guessed the origin of this "Nanji Silk Shop".

Everyone knows that raw silk is exported to foreigners in exchange for silver. Opening a store in Jingzhou to buy raw silk is naturally to cut off the business of going to Zheqi and Shanghi, and from the perspective of the volume of this "Nanji Silk Shop", it has a great origin.

Then, it is easy to speculate that this Nanji was sold to Guangzhou or Xiamen, most likely Guangzhou.

That's why this Nanji opened such an inconspicuous silk shop by the wharf of Gangneung City, which is actually not selling silk at all, but buying raw silk!

Every time he traded, Boss Nan asked Li Shuigen to sail the boat carrying raw silk to Gong'an County, opposite Jiangling Prefecture, and then unload it into dozens of small boats.

Li Shuigen knew that this kind of small boat could sail around on the dense network of small rivers around Dongting Lake.

Li Shuigen could even imagine that these small boats loaded with raw silk must have been transported to the south. Otherwise, you can directly take a big boat, from the Yangtze River to Dongting Lake or Wuchang, and then turn to other water and land to go to Shanghai Zheqi.

Therefore, since the second delivery, Li Shuigen suspected that this Nanji silk shop was going through the door of Guangzhou, and now it seems that this is really the case.

However, because of the huge profits, and because he Li Shuigen had never had a good impression of the Manchus, he did not resist doing business with them, but was glad that he was chosen.

Did you go to the government to expose that this shop had something to do with the Cantonese thieves in the south? There is no evidence at all, and if you cut off your monthly business, you may have some reason for the other party, and if you offend it, you will be arrested by the government and extort a sum of money.

More than ten years ago, during the war with foreigners, for the sake of silver, the emperor's relatives also sold things to foreigners! As long as you can make money.

What's more, if it is really related to the Cantonese thief and offended, who knows when something will happen to his family?

Li Shuigen was still pondering, but Boss Nan spoke: "Boss Li, don't think too much, a businessman in Nan, when he goes out to seek wealth, he won't do anything that makes Boss Li embarrassed." ”

Li Shuigen's heart was a little calm.

But this is the case, Nanji wants to open some hardware stores in Shudi, and wants to find local businessmen to cooperate. Boss Li happens to be a local, and he is kind and kind, so Nan asked if you are interested? Boss Nan directly made it clear.

"Boss Nan attaches great importance to the business, of course Lao Li is interested!" Li Shuigen replied happily: "But I don't know, what kind of business is this hardware store mainly for?" ”

"Hardware shops, mainly wholesale sales of some people's daily necessities, iron pots, kitchen knives, scissors, iron hoes, shovels, tongs, sickles, axes, hacksaws, iron locks, copper locks, iron scales, iron bricks and wire, the smallest also foreign iron nails and sewing needles, foreign fire, etc. In addition, there are some new products, medium-sized enamel iron basins, iron buckets, iron furnaces, leaky hoes, iron rakes, and large pedal threshing machines, hand-cranked rice mills. Boss Nan introduced.

Li Shuigen was directly dumbfounded.

Boss Nan said that some of him had heard of it and knew what it was, and some of it didn't know what it was at all, so he could only guess what it was from the name. However, he believes that the net worth of Nan Kee and the business of paying attention to these objects will definitely not be small.

"I don't know if Boss Nan wants to open a hardware store in that house in Shudi? I don't know how much silver taels Lao Li and I have invested, and how much I have done? Li Shuigen made up his mind to put his foot on Nan Ji's thigh, and began to ask the questions he was most concerned about.

"Shu has a large population, so we are ready to open two general shops and eighteen branch shops in Siqi first. In terms of input, it is divided into three parts, the cost of leasing the store, the exclusive quota fee of the Shudi business, and the collateral of the goods. ”

"The total cost is expected to be 250,000 taels. Nanji invested about 150,000 taels, Boss Li invested 40,000 taels, and the other 60,000 taels was set by another Nanji's business partner, Boss Zhang. In this way, 20 stores were established. 50,000 taels are used to lease the store and dot the cost, and 50,000 taels are used to purchase the exclusive right of Nanji in Shudi, and the remaining 150,000 taels are used as collateral to pay to the owner when the hardware goods arrive. Boss Nan took a sip of water and continued.

"Nanji accounts for seventy percent of the shares, the other one is Boss Zhang, who accounts for one percent of the shares, and Boss Li, you account for one percent of the shares. The same is true for the opening of new shops and dividends in the future. However, there is one thing that needs to be explained, the hardware business opened by Nanji and you can only do business in Shudi, and other places, but others do it, and Nanji can't interfere. ”

In the end, Boss Nan asked, "I wonder if Boss Li has any opinions?" ”

Li Shuigen quickly calculated, the rest is okay, just the exclusive right to operate what Shu land will cost 50,000 taels, which is equivalent to paying 50,000 yuan together with his partner surnamed Zhang to buy this qualification to partner with Nanji.

I paid 40,000 taels, but I actually only got 20,000 taels of shares. It's a bit of a pain in the flesh to think about!

However, Li Shuigen saw Boss Nan looking at him with a smile in a blink of an eye, and immediately sobered up. This is Boss Nan testing himself! So, he hurriedly replied: "No opinion, no opinion!" Boss Nan lifted Lao Li, it's too late to be happy! ”

"Haha! Boss Li rest assured, since you can trust Nanji, you will definitely not lose money! Boss Nan laughed, and shouted to the back room of the shop: "Boss Zhang, come out, just meet with Boss Li and get to know each other." ”

As Boss Nan finished speaking, the curtain inside was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe with a calm temperament and extraordinary appearance walked out.

Anyone else in the back room? Li Shuigen looked at the middle-aged man strangely, his face changed greatly, and his eyes were about to fall out: "Oops, it turned out to be Zhang Zhixun Master Zhang!" ”

"Does Boss Li know Zhang?" The middle-aged man in the Confucian robe asked strangely.

Master Zhang laughed. Who wouldn't know the people of the Zhang family in Suining, Heibaigou, Shuzhong? Although Lao Li is not a showman, he also studied private school for a few years when he was young, how could the Zhang family of Shu Chinese Hao not hear of it? What's more, Lao Li's family is in Nanchong, Shunqing Mansion, very close to Suining, and he used to run around when he was doing business, and he met Master Zhang a few times. Li Shuigen explained.

"I see!" Zhang Zhixun was perfunctory.

Boss Nan smiled and said to Li Shuigen: "If Boss Li regrets it, it's still too late, but this Master Zhang has always wanted to accept your share." ”

Li Shuigen shook his head again and again with a smile when he heard this, secretly shouting in his heart that it was dangerous, if he failed to persevere, he would miss the opportunity to make a fortune.

So the three of them agreed that when Li Shuigen's batch of raw silk was shipped away, Boss Nan would take people to follow Li Shuigen and Zhang Zhixun to Shudi and personally open a hardware store.

……..

Outside the county of Qizhou County, Huangzhou Prefecture, the south gate of the city is three miles to the southeast, and Lijia Village is inside.

As soon as the day dawned, as usual, Li Zhongxian and his two sons were ready to go to the field to do farm work.

The dry land at home needs to be loosened, and in half a month, wheat will be sown.

Seeing that the two sons also took a nest head that was steamed early in the morning, his wife Li Liu's got up, Li Zhongxian also took the two nest heads handed over by Li Liu, nibbled one as breakfast, and the other was in his arms, ready to eat one directly in the field at noon when he was hungry.

As soon as he was about to go out, the eldest son Li Long exclaimed: "Dad, there are two fewer hoes in the family, and only one is left." ”

Li Liu exclaimed: "Oh, it's all my fault!" Yesterday, when Dalong and Xiaohu came back, they put the hoe outside the door and asked me to put it in the firewood room. As he spoke, he began to cry.

The two sons hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them.

Li Zhongxian was also distressed, two iron hoes were worth a lot of money. However, the matter has come to this point, blaming Li Liu's hoe will not come back, so he has no choice but to say: "What are you crying?" Let's go to the blacksmith shop in the city and buy two more! ”

Li Liu saw that her husband did not blame, and the two sons kept comforting, so they collected their tears.

Although Li Zhongxian said this, he had a headache in his heart, and found two wooden sticks as hoe handles, thinking that he could only buy iron hoes, at least go to the blacksmith shop, and save money on hoe handles.

Before going out, Li Zhongxian took the five hundred copper coins that Li Liu turned out from under the box and said, "Less!" I remember that the iron hoe cost 300 wen a piece, and then another 100 wen. ”

Li Liu groped at the bottom of the box for a long time, but there were only 68 texts, and there were no more. The Li family is so poor!

Li Zhongxian has grabbed 68 articles, and he thinks that there are 568 articles, which should be about the same. So he put the heavy four catties in a cloth bag and carried it with his hand.

The two sons will also follow to the county seat. Li Zhongxian thought about it, and it was more than three miles away, and by the way, he bought a hoe and went directly to the ground, so he agreed to come down and go into the city with his two sons to buy an iron hoe.
