Li Ke's conception of the trading company also shocked Li Xiu, and even he thought of the network of later generations from this trading company, and people in later generations can use the platform of the Internet to obtain the information they need, and the trading company is essentially the same as the Internet, it is a platform, of course, this platform can only publish some business information, and its influence is far less than that of the network platform of later generations.

"This trading company is simply a genius idea, not only can collect those scattered business information to increase the efficiency of commerce, but also can supervise transactions between merchants, prevent them from tax evasion, and increase the imperial court's control over commerce, which is simply a few in one fell swoop!" For this kind of good idea, of course, Li Xiu is not stingy with his praise.

"Mr. really saw through my intentions at a glance, I saw all kinds of chaos at Jiangbei Wharf, and I thought of many ways to deal with it before, but it didn't have any effect, and even some of them caused new problems, until a flash of inspiration in my mind later, I thought of the idea of starting a trading company!" When Li Ke heard Li Xiu's praise, he was also overjoyed at the moment, as a student, he naturally wanted to hear the teacher's praise the most.

Understanding the role of this trading company, Li Xiu also surged more interest, and asked Li Ke to take him around, and Li Ke has been explaining the operation of the entire trading company, although Li Xiu is the first time to come, but he has more experience than Li Ke in management, so he can also put forward a lot of opinions, and even point out some shortcomings of the trading company, which Li Ke has also written down one by one.

After Li Xiu finished visiting the trading company, he saw that there were already many people outside who came by car and horseback, all of these people were famous businessmen in Yangzhou City, and even some merchants who had just arrived at the dock were also invited, and Li Ke had already spread the news of the trading company in advance, so many people knew what the trading company did, which also made many people talk about it after coming here, and many people were happy.

It was almost noon, Li Ke finally began to preside over the opening ceremony of the trading company, in fact, it was very simple to say, it was nothing more than Li Ke standing on the high platform and saying a few words, originally he also hoped that Li Xiu would also say a few words, but Li Xiu didn't like such an occasion very much, so he politely declined.

In order to prepare for this trading company, Li Ke also made a lot of preparations, so after the opening of the trading company, immediately a lot of businessmen poured into it, and each businessman released the information he needed to buy or sell, and then looked for the information he needed.

The intermediary fees charged by the trading company are not lower than those of the tooth people on the wharf, but the merchants are more willing to exchange information here, because compared with those scattered tooth people, the information in the trading company is also more comprehensive, and behind the trading company is the government, and behind the official government is the king of Wu, representing the imperial court, with the credibility of the imperial court, they are naturally more willing to believe in the trading company.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that as soon as the trading company opened, dozens of orders were completed immediately, and these businessmen also paid intermediary fees and taxes very happily, which also made Li Ke's confidence skyrocket, with this trading company, he could strengthen his control over the Jiangbei wharf, so as to solve all kinds of chaos on the wharf.

Because there were too many people coming, and Li Ke was the host party, so there were a lot of things to deal with, and there were also some important people who needed to be met, Li Xiu did not bother him, but took Qi Niang to walk around in the trading company at will, and at the same time looked at these merchants with great interest, and met some Hu merchants from the Western Regions, Li Xiu would also find an opportunity to go up and inquire about the news from Persia, after all, he wanted to know if Persia and Rome had formed an alliance, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything useful at all.

"Big brother, it's too boring here, and there are so many people and it's crowded, let's go out for a walk!" At this moment, I saw Qi Niang suddenly complaining, she was not as interested in trading companies as Li Xiu, but felt that it was quite boring here, there were all businessmen who came and went, and there were a lot of Hu merchants, these Hu people's body odor was very big, it was okay to be far away, and if you were closer, you would feel smoked and your head hurt.

"Okay, then let's go out and breathe!" Li Xiu saw Qi Niang's disgusted expression, and could only nod at the moment.

There are indeed more people who came today, especially some Hu businessmen, it is estimated that they heard the news just after getting off the ship, and they didn't even take a bath, imagine that they have been floating on the sea for a few months, and the body odor on their bodies is already big, and after a few months of fermentation, the smell will be refreshing, and many local businessmen can only pinch their noses to discuss business with those Hu businessmen in order to make money.

Seeing the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel funny, it seemed that he had to give Li Ke an opinion, and let him set a rule that he must dress neatly when entering the trading company, otherwise those Hu merchants alone would be able to smoke people away.

At that moment, Li Xiu took Qi Niang out of the trading company, and sure enough, he found that the air outside was much fresher, even if the opposite side was a crowded wharf, but the air here was still better than that in the trading company, Qi Niang was also hungry at this time, after all, they came in the morning, but they didn't have time to eat at noon, so they pulled Li Xiu and walked to the wharf, because there are many food sellers on the wharf, you can buy some to fill your stomach.

The trading company has just opened, and the people who have been invited before are some big businessmen with heads and faces, and there are many small and medium-sized businessmen who have just received the news at this time, and they have also rushed to look for business opportunities, so I saw that there are also people on several roads outside the trading company who are constantly coming, of course, there are also many people who have negotiated business and left hand in hand, it is estimated that they are handing over money and goods, but unfortunately there is no bank next to it, otherwise they can transfer money directly in the bank.

Thinking of the bank, Li Xiu suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, the trading company can not only be used on the dock, such as Chang'an, a prosperous commercial city can also be opened, but also can be opened with the bank, which is more convenient for businessmen to trade and promote the development of commerce.

"Big brother, don't be in a daze, look at the mille-feuille cake that sells over there, let's go buy something to eat!" Just when Li Xiu was thinking about how to combine the trading company with the bank, he was suddenly interrupted by Qi Niang, and then he was dragged to a stall selling pastries, Li Xiu could only shake his head helplessly, but this matter is not something that can be thought out for a while anyway, and he can discuss it with Li Ke after he goes back.

But just when Qi Niang pulled Li Xiu and was about to buy pastries, she suddenly saw her body tremble, and her footsteps stopped, and her eyes stared straight at a tall figure on the dock and said, "Accept it!" ”
