In the East China Sea, the sky is clear and the blue waves are rippling. A fleet of dozens of seagoing vessels is moving fast on the sea.

"Miss, the wind and waves in the first two days were really big. almost scared the slave to death, and thought that he would never be able to go back to Donghai County. Xi'er said to Zhao Wan'er with a scared face.

Zhao Wan'er also palpitated: "Yes, I didn't expect the sea to be so terrifying." Fortunately, we rescued a very experienced captain in the South China Sea, and the kindness was rewarded. It seems that in the future, when going to sea, the fleet will have to be handed over to Captain Zheng's command, which can avoid a lot of trouble. ”

Xi'er nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Miss, this trip to Nanzhou, not only sold all the treasures entrusted to you by your uncle last time for a large price, but also met a partner, and my uncle will be very happy to come back this time." ”

Zhao Wan'er smiled a flower on her face, but she pretended to be disdainful and said: "Hmph, I appeared this time for Donghai County and Zhao's Commercial Bank, what does it have to do with him?" I didn't go to Nanzhou to please him, what does it have to do with me whether he is happy or not? ”

Xi'er covered her mouth and snickered, but she didn't dare to laugh at her anymore, the last time she canceled her with this, she was threatened by the eldest lady to go back and give her uncle to warm the bed, which was really embarrassing.

So Xi'er changed the topic and said, "Miss, I didn't expect Mrs. Zhu to go to Donghai County with us this time, it's really admirable." With the strength of his own alone, he has supported such a large firm, and it is not weaker than our Zhao firm. Do you think we can work with her when we go back? ”

Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly, with a solemn look on her pretty face, and slowly shook her head and said: "It's hard to say, she takes a fancy to the refined salt we produce this time, and wants to know about our production scale, and see if there are other places that can cooperate?" I am not worried about the cooperation of refined salt, our Zhao firm originally started in the salt industry, and we are naturally very familiar with the production method of refined salt, coupled with the method of refining refined salt provided by Ziheng, we will definitely be able to produce refined salt that meets the needs of Mrs. Zhu. ”

"However, my concern is that she is not a drunkard. It is said that it wants to talk about the cooperation of refined salt, but in fact, it is a way to plot our salt. ”

Xi'er's face tightened, and she asked worriedly, "Miss, how about we and not let her visit?" ”

Zhao Wan'er said: "It's naturally inappropriate not to let her visit, that will have a great impact on the cooperation between the two families." Our Donghai County is in a critical period of development, and we are in need of several stable partners. Otherwise, the products produced in our Donghai County may be sold in a problem. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "This trip to the Southern Zhou Dynasty is completely dependent on Mr. Jia's own efforts to sell so many goods, and at the same time find us a lot of partners, Mr. Jia is really not a descendant of the Zongheng faction, we can't live up to Mr. Jia's efforts." ”

Xi'er's face was also full of admiration, and she nodded repeatedly: "I didn't expect Mr. Jia to be so eloquent, at that time, as the face of so many people, his mouth was like a river, and he talked about our things as if they were out of the sky, which made people feel like they were losing a lot if they didn't buy it." ”

Zhao Wan'er also seemed to remember the scene of that day, pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Jia's eloquence is indeed good, but the most important thing is that the quality of the goods provided by Ziheng is really good." Otherwise, even if it can be marketed, it is impossible to bring us so many partners, not to mention the principal like Mrs. Zhu who is willing to go to Donghai County to inspect in person. ”

"Alas, the business atmosphere in Southern Zhou is really good, and there is nothing to say. As a widow of Mrs. Zhu, she can also control so many business houses without attracting criticism from others, this Southern Zhou Dynasty is really a world of businessmen. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao's firm had completely settled in Donghai County, I really wanted to move the headquarters to Nanzhou, at least there would not be so many constraints in terms of business contacts. ”

After Zhao Wan'er's trip to Nanzhou, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Not to mention anything else, there was never any government in the Southern Zhou Dynasty that prohibited private goods, even in industries such as salt and iron, which were in the hands of the major trading houses, not in the hands of the government.

The government generally levies taxes on goods, and the management of other things is not very strict.

For this, Zhao Wan'er has only seen it in Donghai County, and the business atmosphere is also very good. But she knew in her heart that her Zhao family firm could get such a favorable treatment in Donghai County, it was entirely because of her close relationship with Su Ziheng, otherwise where could she get such good conditions?

It is precisely because she has received such good treatment that she wants to make efforts for the development of Donghai County, otherwise she would not have to go to Nanzhou in person.

……

……

After Zhao Wan'er's fleet arrived at the dock of Donghai Mansion, looking at the messy scene in front of her, she knew how much damage the typhoon had caused to Donghai Mansion two days ago.

Zhu Zhirong stepped down from the deck, approached Zhao Wan'er's side, and comforted softly: "Sister Wan'er, please mourn." This is a natural disaster, and it cannot be resisted by man. In the past, there were typhoons in Nanping Province every year, and as long as people were okay, everything else could be rebuilt. ”

Having said that, it is difficult to make up for this loss, and if there is one or two typhoons every year, basically half of the year's income will be discounted.

Originally, she was reluctant to come to Donghai Mansion, but her Zhu family firm was in trouble, and someone in Nanping Mansion specifically targeted her, so that she could not get a share of refined salt.

In Nanping Province, because the land is close to the sea, many people are very convenient to boil sea salt, so generally low- and medium-grade salt cannot be sold at a good price, and can only barely keep the capital.

Only high-grade refined salt is the pursuit of large families, especially the flawless snowflake salt, which is deeply loved by the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, because trade was not prohibited, most of the people had small savings, unlike people in other countries who would not pay much attention to the grade of salt as long as they had salt to eat. But the Southern Zhou Dynasty is different, their requirements for salt will be relatively high, who makes salt the first of all flavors, good salt can add a lot of color to a table of delicacies.

This time, she accidentally saw that there was high-grade refined salt among the goods sold by Zhao Wan'er, and after careful inquiry, she found that it was produced by Zhao's firm, so she couldn't help it anymore, and planned to make a field trip to see if she could meet her needs, so she followed Zhao Wan'er's fleet to Donghai Mansion together.

For Zhao Wan'er, Nanzhou herself is not familiar with life, if there is a local snake to take herself familiar with the shopping malls in Nanzhou, it will save a lot of things, otherwise it will be a waste of time to develop the market by yourself.
