Chapter 94: An agreement is reached
What the facts are, of course Takei Ichijo knows. Among the four most powerful forces in Japan, the royal family naturally occupies www.biquge.info a dominant position, and the other three are all attached to the royal family, but they are also using the royal family to make profits, and even attacking each other is also by winning over the royal family.
Therefore, the position of the Japanese royal family at this time was very embarrassing, just like the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, the national power was in the hands of the secretary. Doctor Qing has a fief, there is an army, like the existence of China, and the princes and kings can only weigh in the doctor but can not be eradicated, once these doctors become bigger and stronger, the princes and kings have become ornaments, and even replaced, Jin Sanxia is the best proof.
In addition to the royal family, the other three families are naturally the biggest forces affecting the Japanese court, relatively speaking, Genji is a family that has gone from super strong to declining in recent years.
Genji's decline was largely caused by the family itself. A few years ago, a traitor appeared within the family, he rebelled, and was eliminated by the Taira clan, and since then Genji's strength has not only weakened, but also lost the trust of the royal family, and even his position has been replaced by the Taira clan. As a result, the Taira clan became the second largest family after the Fujiwara clan.
Wujing Ichijo didn't know if Gao Feng knew this, such a secret was difficult for even the Great Song Dynasty officials to understand, and if it was known by a young man in the remote county, it would be too terrifying.
The details are certainly not clear, but he knows some of the main context.
The Fujiwara clan, which had long dominated Japan, would soon be replaced by the Taira and Genji clans, who owned the samurai group, and Japan would begin a decades-long dispute between the Taira and Genji clans. After the Battle of Hogen, the Taira clan almost annihilated the Genji, and the remaining Genji soon rose, and after the Battle of Genpei, the Taira clan was completely destroyed. This is the general context, but from a local point of view, Genji is indeed at a low point of strength at the moment.
No matter how the situation in Japan changes in the future, Gao Feng does not attach importance to it, he does not think about controlling the situation in Japan, and in fact he does not have the ability to do so, what he values is how to take advantage of Japan's existing contradictions.
Gao Feng knew that Genji could not open up the situation at home, and it was bound to use foreign forces to develop itself, and the Great Song Dynasty was the most powerful force it had to rely on. However, when you think about it, it's really too hard to do.
The Genji family and manors were mostly concentrated in the eastern part of Japan, but the southwest was occupied by the Taira clan, and in terms of the geographical advantage of communication with the Great Song Dynasty, the Genji fell behind the Taira clan.
Genji's journey to and from the Great Song Dynasty was a great risk to the far east, which was a sign of the risks associated with their shipbuilding and navigation skills.
Even if they came to the Great Song Dynasty with great difficulty, because they had little communication with the Great Song Dynasty in advance, even in the name of the envoy, the Great Song Dynasty did not bird them much, and if the Ping clan participated in the intervention, Genji would naturally not be welcomed, and the fact that Takei Ichichi and his party were driven to a remote place this time illustrates the problem.
What was foreseeable for Gao Feng, Takei Ichichi naturally knew that the result of his great risk to come to the Great Song Dynasty this time was exactly that. Therefore, when he heard Gao Feng's words, he immediately felt that he had been stripped naked, this young man was terrible.
Before, Takei was willing to pay a lot of money to buy two secret recipes, and he was indeed making a small calculation. These two parties can definitely bring huge profits to Genji when they get back to the country, and if they can put pressure on other forces financially through it, it will also be a heavy punch for Genji, but unfortunately this young man doesn't buy it, and for Takei Ichijo, the loss is still huge.
However, by the time Gao Feng called him back, Takei Ichijo had already understood that he was hasty, no matter what, the candle and wine business still had to be done, especially high-grade wine, which was definitely a scarce commodity in Japan, and even if it was an inverted handle, that kind of profit was very considerable.
The main thing is that Gao Feng still has something to say, and if he really has the idea of bringing Genji back to life, Takei Ichichi thinks it's worth it. Of course, Takei Ichijo didn't have much hope for this, a problem that a big family can't solve, a young man can do?
"Please also ask Mr. Gao to speak clearly." Takei said respectfully.
Gao Feng smiled: "I don't dare to talk nonsense about domestic things in Japan, and I don't want to comment on Genji's affairs, I'm just doing business with my husband." ”
You don't dare to talk nonsense, you have said all the four major forces in Japan, and you don't know what to say before you dare to say it, Takei Ichichi discussed it in his heart, but he didn't show it, but said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we are doing business." ”
Everyone understands people, and naturally knows the way of speaking.
"I think Sir has figured it out that candles and wine are indeed a way to make money for Genji, and what I want to say to Sir is that we only trade these two items with Genji, and not with other forces. Of course, this is only one of them. Gao Feng said eloquently.
This sentence Gao Feng said very clearly, the money for candles and wine is only earned by you Genji in Japan, and if you can make money, isn't it strengthening your strength? This is similar to the effect of getting the secret recipe for Takei Ichijo.
"I want to hear about it." This point Takei Ichichi has long understood the depth of it, so naturally he doesn't need to explain it more than Gaofeng, he is curious that Gaofeng has the second, what is the content?
"The second is that I want to establish a business channel with my husband." Gao Feng smiled slightly.
"Trade channels? Do you mean to help us source goods in Dasong? "Although Takei Ichijo can roughly understand the meaning of the peak, he is not very clear about the specific content.
That's pretty much what it means. Mr. Takei came to Daesong to do business, so I don't think there is a fixed business location yet. ”
Seeing that Takei nodded in agreement, Gao Feng continued: "The trade channel I am talking about is a business exchange model that establishes a fixed business location. Mr. Takei also knows that the procurement of goods, the selection of quality, the negotiation of prices, the storage and transportation of goods, and so on are all cumbersome and complicated matters, and if this matter is handled by Mr. Takei all around, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also increase costs. We are different, we are in Da Song, handling these things is simple and fast, and even some seasonal items can help you do it. ”
Seeing that Takei listened attentively, Gao Feng said: "Similarly, we can also help sell Mr.'s goods, that is to say, this is a two-way street, of course, some special goods are still handled by yourself, and we are not involved." In this way, Mr. Takei will save a lot of energy and free up time for other things. This is probably what the trade channel means, you are responsible for the Japanese domestic situation, we are responsible for the Great Song Dynasty, and we can work together to make money and achieve a win-win situation. ”
Gao Feng completely used the business philosophy of later generations to tell Takei Ichichi about this, the reason is not difficult to understand, Takei Ichichi can understand it as soon as he hears it, and Gao Feng wants Takei Ichichi to understand that with this channel, Genji's development will definitely be faster.
Sure enough, there was no need for Gao Feng to explain more, Wu Jing Ichichi had already stood up, and arched his hand to Gao Fengyi: "What a win-win situation, Gao Gongzi is talented, and the spear is suddenly opened." Indeed, as Gao Gongzi said, we have to go to a lot of places to buy some goods, not to mention the time and effort, and spend a lot of unjust money, if Gao Gongzi wants to establish a trade channel, it is a good way, I can make full decisions about this matter, and I signed this agreement with Gao Gongzi. ”
