Chapter 62: Business Classics
When it comes to doing business, Wu Zhengdao and Zhou Yang together may not be Yang Yuzhou's opponents, after all, this guy was born in trade and has many years of practical experience, so it can be said that he can do business. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a night's rest in Macau, they met with the person in charge of the local council, and Wu Zhengdao and others took the Perfect to Hong Kong directly. This time, they came out and transported a lot of supplies, including a lot of building materials.
If Hong Kong is to build a fortress city, it will have to use reinforced concrete, but now it seems that this material should be very limited, and in addition to this material, the construction of a cement processing plant in Hong Kong should be considered.
Cement is actually not very technical, but you need to know a certain formula ratio to burn it, and the proportion is not right, it can only be burned into stone.
"We have absolute management rights here, this is the right given to us by the Xin'an County Order and the Governor of Liangguang, Shen Youlong, and the credentials for the establishment of diplomatic relations have also been sent to Beijing, and it is difficult to say when this will be approved."
Walking on the road of the original small fishing village, you can see that some old houses have been demolished, foundations are being dug to build new houses, and logs and bluestones brought from all over the world are also piled up on both sides.
"In addition to building Hong Kong this month, you have met some people, or have you come to the door?" Wu Zhengdao was very curious if the Zheng family, which was very famous in the East China Sea during this period, had come to the door.
As an important role in the maritime power at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the old Zheng family to have no movement after the appearance of the Australians, and even the appearance of a big iron ship like the Perfect has not thought about whether it will be a threat to themselves.
But Yang Yuzhou's answer did surprise him, the Zheng family did not send anyone to come, they were all businessmen from other provinces or themselves, and it is unknown whether there are people from the Zheng family among these people, after all, Yang Yuzhou is not so capable of knowing all the circumstances.
This time, Billy Zhou also came with the ship, and after the ship docked, he disappeared at the Macau pier with his teammates, as for what to do, Wu Zhengdao didn't know, but it was certain that he should be going to establish an Australian intelligence network.
"Xiao Zhou will stay this time and build an intelligence network, which will have a lot to do with your future work."
Speaking of Zhou Billy, Yang Yuzhou still knows a little about this guy, but he is a little worried about whether his future affairs will be exposed.
Now is not the time to worry about these problems, I heard that the Australians have gone to Hong Kong, and the merchants who had been waiting in Macao have sailed overnight to Hong Kong to win new cargo agency rights.
There are not many products brought this time, mainly mirror glass cups, followed by knives, but they are all weapons and daggers.
After reading the list of items, Yang Yuzhou frowned, our local products are still relatively single, and sooner or later there will be a trade gap, in which glasses and mirrors are not the objects of long-term trade, the market is limited, and we still have to do more to make the civilian market bigger.
It's the same as your idea, we also have the same idea, but due to the development of technology, many things are not so quick to get out, so mirrors and glasses are still our main products, followed by knives, our knives can be said to be better than Daming, which you have also seen.
Wu Zhengdao handed a handful to Yang Yuzhou, at this time several people were already sitting in the temporary office of the Hong Kong Overseas Consulate, a waiter served tea, and after going out, Yang Yuzhou looked at the list for dozens of seconds, and then put it down and expressed his opinion.
Knives are controlled items in the Ming Dynasty, especially the knives used in combat are not reported, and private individuals do not dare to own them at all, because this involves the issue of rebellion, so generally speaking, no one dares to collect them privately on a large scale.
The sale of these things is not a problem, there are those bold businessmen, and they are afraid that they will not find buyers, which Yang Yuzhou is not worried about at all.
"I don't think the mirrors and glasses are any longer attractive, on the contrary, these props should be promoted as the finale products, with the uprising of Li Zicheng's peasant army, thieves are rampant everywhere, and some squires have strengthened their defense of the village a lot, they should need it more.
The squire class of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the existence of the ruling class, so it is not a problem for them to buy props at all, they only need to report to the government.
After such a reminder, Wu Zhengdao's heart lit up, originally it was just a side commodity to sell knives, so if you change the sales method, it will become the finale, it seems that Yang Yuzhou still has some brains in business.
But he doesn't understand a little, why does this guy always like to make profits every time, obviously you can make more money, you have to make profits, isn't it stupid, now the things sold in Australia are exclusive products, there are no competitors at all, if you want to say that it is not necessary to win over customers, these Ming businessmen are on the pole begging Australians to sell things to him.
Maybe it was like this in his business before the crossing, but Wu Zhengdao didn't have anything to say about business, this was not his strong point after all.
After the main transaction of this trade, the group began to discuss the upcoming reforms in the country.
To say that this reform is an opportunity for many people, through more than 500 people, not everyone can enter the core layer of power, after all, there is always a need for people to do things, some people may not be convinced, they are all crossed together, why can they only start, but the post is placed there.
So if this reform is successful, it will be an opportunity for those people to use their knowledge to create another business and have their own kingdom.
Zhou Yang came to Hong Kong to make some preparations in advance, so this time he planned to work with Yang Yuzhou to send a telegram requesting the establishment of a privately owned cement factory here.
"Old Yang, how big do you think the pass rate will be," Zhou Yang handed Yang Yuzhou a cigarette, lit it for himself, and asked him.
"If the local people really have this kind of thought, I think we might as well add a fire and let it burn in advance, and carry this thing on, it will only be good for us."
Yang Yuzhou's move was a bit like adding firewood to the fire.
