Chapter 389: Monopoly on Maritime Trade
Wu Xiang told everyone that it was because Xin Haijun was attacked by pirates when he was not making a career and would be buried in the sea, and he happened to meet Lord Huang with a sailor to pursue the Jiannu spies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lord Huang only had a few grass skimming boats at that time, but he acted chivalrous and immediately attacked the pirates, and saved Xin Haijun at the cost of losing dozens of Jiading and two grass skimming boats.
Not only that, but later Lord Huang also helped Shin Hae-jun to restore his strength, and was finally canonized by the lord of North Korea last year, so Shin-hae-jun unconditionally trusted Mr. Huang and was willing to share the glory and wealth with him.
The story is absurd and bizarre, most people don't believe it, Wu Xiang told you very seriously that you are not very good at fighting and very good at doing business, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." ”
As a result, the military attachés were impatient to figure out what to do, and chose to believe such a statement.
The people led by Ye Chengjing and Ye Haowu were sent to "Huaxia Island" by the warships sent by Daishan Island after the concentration of Zhoushan Zhongzhong, and they were all wealthy businessmen in the south, and they had a soft spot for maritime trade.
Seeing such a powerful navy today, I know that the four seas have changed masters in the future, and Lord Huang Sheng is already the uncrowned king. They all tacitly agreed with the announcement of North Korea's Shinhae-kun, and from now on, they will take Huang Daren as the leader.
Huang Sheng presided over the meeting the next day, inviting merchants from all walks of life to gather in the "Huaxia Island" on February 2 and August 28 every year to participate in the spring order fair and the autumn trade fair.
At the meeting, it was made clear that the Huaxia Navy would set up an escort formation to escort all merchants, and the fee would be charged in half to one and a half directions according to the value of the goods and the distance of the road.
If the cargo is plundered by pirates or destroyed by the sea, the Huaxia Navy is responsible for compensating the shipper for all losses.
The newly established "Huaxia Sea Run" undertakes all the routes from east to Japan and south to Manila and Dayue Kingdom, and the freight charges for shipping with "Huaxia Sea Run" are also charged in half to one half of the way according to the value of the goods and the distance of the road.
This is naked unfair competition, people go out on their own ships to run transportation, and hire the Huang family transport ship to deliver the same escort fee, who else would be stupid to use their own sea ship or hire other people's transport ship?
I believe that in less than a year, the people who own the sea ships will sell the No. 2 Fu Boat and the Grass Skimming Boat in their hands at a low price, because there is no way to have a business, and they can't use it themselves.
After this conference with the theme of monopolizing maritime trade, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty's voyage monopoly will be completed by the end of next year, and the Huang family is not afraid that there will not be so many sea ships, and first, several docks are working overtime to build new ships.
The second is to buy other businesses as waste ships at a lower price, and hire their original sailors and gunners at high salaries.
Third, after the formation of "Huaxia Island", Huangjiawan Island, Fushansuo, Daishan Island, Kinmen Island, Lingao six cargo storage bases, the transportation capacity can be scientifically allocated, and the efficiency of cargo ships can be improved by more than three percent.
This is already similar to the operation of the express company in the future, for example, Zhejiang used to have less than a No. 2 Fu ship to send goods to Dayuan Port, there is no way, but to run, now there is no need. Maybe one or two ships from Fushan Port will take the goods with them.
Anyway, Huang Jiabao compensated for the value of the goods, and as long as the goods were delivered in good condition within the agreed time, they would not care if there were several ships to carry out the task.
Fourth, for the "Huaxia Sea Operation" supporting the water transport fleet relying on the big rivers and rivers also began to operate, or to adopt the method of hiring and self-construction to operate, the eliminated small sea ships are mostly dispatched to the Yangtze River, so that the goods of the country of abundance along the river through Nantong Prefecture are reprinted and sold to the East and the West.
To this end, Huang Sheng sent 50 wounded sailors and gunners to form a team, gave a start-up capital of more than 100,000 taels, and asked them to dredge the waterway, buy ships, and ensure that the cargo ship of 2,000 stone could go directly to the stone pillar in Sichuan.
They also have a task, to recruit the poorest Three Gorges slender men and 1,000 teenagers to drag their families to Lingao, Huang Sheng is ready to train mountain infantry, these young people who climb like monkeys on steep cliffs all year round, their physical coordination and the cooperation of the slender men are destined to be the best mountain soldiers in the world in time.
Another content of the meeting is the monopoly of supply and pricing power, any raw materials of Daming are prohibited from exporting, nickel and white copper are also exclusively purchased by the Huang family, the price given is fair, and the profit of businessmen will not be less.
The Huang family also raised the price of one percent to order tung oil, fierce fire oil, flower essential oil, the Huang family's ships are too many, tung oil is an indispensable preservative for the maintenance of wooden ships, the demand is more than a year.
China is the origin of tung oil trees, Shaanxi, Henan, Yunnan, Guichuan can be cultivated on the mountains, Huang Sheng bid, will naturally stimulate the mountain people to expand the planting area, this kind of cash crops that do not occupy fertile land will bring benefits to the people.
Huang Sheng held the spring order fair in line with mutual benefit and win-win results, and the participating businessmen obtained countless orders, and they also hoped to operate high value-added Jiangsu and Zhejiang silk and Sichuan Shu brocade.
However, if others sell raw silk and other raw materials, they will lose many customers if they don't sell them, and now the establishment of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce has made businessmen have scruples and discipline, and they are no longer a plate of loose sand.
The price agreed by Huang Sheng and everyone is very transparent, and the profits of the businessmen are definitely not as good as before the establishment of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, as long as they strengthen management and are keen to develop new products to increase added value, they will obtain higher profits.
As a result, the seven-day trade fair ended with a large number of lucrative orders from most merchants.
With so many wealthy merchants gathered, the currency "Huaxia Tongbao" issued by the "Huaxia Big Money Village" has been carefully studied by discerning merchants, and many people have recognized these gold, silver and copper coins.
They saw the invincible "Huaxia Navy" and thought that it would be foolproof to be escorted away by the navy on the island controlled by Lord Huang.
Moreover, Huang Sheng promised that as long as the cash or currency was handed over to the ship to be transported by the "Huaxia Sea Run", if there was an accident, the "Huaxia Big Money Bank" would compensate for the loss.
Too many merchants have earned silver and can't take it home, and the experience of cheap bandits on the road, now it's great, with the "Huaxia Big Money Village", as long as you deposit silver in Jinmen, Fujian, you can go back to Beijing, Nanjing and wait for the cash, why not?
The eldest brothers-in-law Zhang Zhiji and Gao Zhimou were apprehensive when they saw Huang Sheng's strength, and they didn't ask anything, just regarded the "Huaxia Navy" as really the armed forces of North Korean Shinhaejun, they were imperial court officials, and some things were not easy to know.
Huang Sheng did not treat the Gao family badly, and rented more than 50 sea ships that the Gao family could sail at a very attractive price, and the Gao family did not need to do anything, and they could enter 80,000 taels of silver every year.
The brother-in-law got the distribution rights of four-wheeled carriages, soap gift boxes, Xifeng liquor, and glass products in Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan provinces, and the supply price for him was guaranteed to have a gross profit of 40%, and I am afraid that he would earn more than 300,000 taels in a year.
The two brothers of the He family are now also the number one businessmen because they acted as agents for Nan Zhili's business, and they took the lead in announcing that all the cash of the He family was in the "Huaxia Big Money Village", and stated that the He family's shop was the first to receive "Huaxia Tongbao" without folding.
With the leader, many merchants immediately promised to use "Huaxia Tongbao" according to the value of the currency. Of course, the Huang family's maritime trade partners are more supportive, and there is no risk here, because the Huang family promises to go to the money bank to exchange silver in small amounts at any time, and the large amount of exchange is guaranteed to be satisfied after making an appointment.
