Although these trivial matters at home made him feel disheartened, the group of Chinese in front of him brought him a glimmer of hope, knowing that he accounted for thirteen of the twenty-two shares in the rice industry, which is the highest, and if he can withdraw the capital, then there must be a lot of money that can be invested. www.biquge.info He couldn't help but think back to the past, when those investors claimed to be shareholders and asked to arrange their children in, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of refreshment in his heart—now I don't have to be angry with you anymore.

Looking at this, a weird smile appeared on Chen Li's face, which made Liu Yeqiang and Lu Qi look at each other for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, Lu Qi couldn't hold it back, "Chen Li! Chen Li! What are you doing? ”

Chen Li only came to his senses at this time, and suddenly found that the two elders in front of him had already walked over and were still shaking their hands in front of him, so he was distracted. He hurriedly stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain forgot to ...... in front of the two of you on a whim."

"Don't talk about that," Liu Yeqiang smiled slightly, "Your time is only five minutes in total, and now three minutes have passed, let's hurry up and talk about the rest of the matter," he said, pointing to the electronic clock on the table and said, "You are very good, I am optimistic about you, there are definitely enough local people who have entered this tent in the past few days, and they have all become interested in this chair, but you are the first to be curious about how to make this chair." If you want, let's talk about the terms of building a wood processing plant and a furniture factory here. ”

"Hey," Luffy whispered, then whispered, "M." ”

"Oh, by the way," Liu Yeqiang hurriedly said with a sudden realization, "Yes, you have a rice shop, right?" ”

"Yes, yes," Chen Li has not yet woken up from the shock of the lumber mill furniture factory, and now he finally got his god back, "The villain has a rice shop in Zhaoqing, I don't know if you need rice and grain......

"Yes," Liu Yeqiang directly interrupted Chen Li's words, "We do need it, but we need you to send it to Dongfang Port." ”

"Port of the East?" Although Chen Li knew that these Chinese were from near Annam, he did not know the name of the Oriental Port, and only vaguely heard the "Chinese port" from those Maidno people, who were very taboo about this port and never wanted to tell others the location of the port. Now this real man in front of him talks about the Oriental Port, naturally he is interested - can know the Chinese port, of course, can sell goods to the Chinese, can also directly buy goods from them, although I don't know how much money the Medeno people sell Chinese seafood, but it is certainly not a little bit, it is better to directly purchase it yourself to be reliable.

"Yes, Dongfang Port," Liu Yeqiang nodded, and spread out a nautical chart for Chen Li to see, "Starting from Mingzhou, first go east to the sea, then turn to the southwest, and turn west at Xu Wenjiao to reach Dongfang Port." ”

This chart is a processed chart that only allows the natives to know the route to the port of Orient, and does not indicate anything else. Not to mention that there are islands and reefs along the way, which they can only explore on their own. But the Oriental Port is definitely there, and if you find the Oriental Port, you can find unlimited wealth and opportunities, and naturally there will be people who are willing to go. Do you know that when Magellan sailed around the world in the old world, he was not sure that the earth was really a ball, so he still had to travel?

Chen Li nodded, he couldn't read the chart in front of him, but they said very clearly, as long as they reached Xu Wenjiao and turned west, the rest was to find a boat. But when he thought of looking for a ship, he looked like a bitter melon again, "Two masters, it's not that the villain is unwilling to go to Dongfang Port, it's just that the sea from the mouth of the Pearl River, there are countless small islands near it full of pirates, even if you transport grain along the Xijiang River, you have to encounter water bandits on the waterway." Nowadays, it is not easy to find a shipwreck to go to sea, let alone go to a place where the direction is not yet known...... "He didn't dare to say it, these Chinese would certainly not give him a fake place to amuse himself, but the pirate's sensitivity to the route is like a fly smelling carrion, if you encounter pirates along the way, wouldn't it be very troublesome?" "A few years ago, Zhong Bin, Liu Xiang, and Li Kuiqi plundered and fought each other in the South China Sea, and the maritime merchants suffered heavy losses, and now they dare not go to sea."

"Oh, it turned out that Zhong Bin and Liu Xiang were talking about," Lu Qi laughed, "Zhong Bin was arrested by us last September, and Liu Xiang was also arrested by us around April this year, and when our navy comes out, we will be able to kill Li Kuiqi." ”

Chen Li could only smile at this man's words, he couldn't believe that these Chinese had exterminated Zhong Bin and Liu Xiang. Even if they really get Zhong Bin and Liu Xiang, then the remaining Li Kuiqi can dominate the family, you must know that Li Kuiqi is concentrating on the role of the bandit and not Zhao'an, if he waits for Li Kuiqi to expand his power, he will not be able to get out of the open sea. Those sea merchants could buy Li Kuiqi's order banner and pay a large amount of silver to ensure that he could pass through the South China Sea without pirates for a year, but he was just a small rice shop owner, where could he get so much silver to do this? If he had so much silver, he could have received all the shares of Mi Xing into his hands, so why should he be angry? Besides, their rice bank is still a joint-stock system, at this time it is not a limited responsibility system, but an unlimited responsibility system, no matter how you operate, the shareholders will come to share the money, but if you lose money, people will not admit it, it is definitely looking for yourself to lose money, anyway, you will not lose money.

He thought about it for a while, if he didn't explain this matter to others, they were afraid that they would feel that they had something to hide, which would affect the subsequent cooperation, which was very unfavorable, so he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth in detail with the two people in front of him.

After listening to this, Liu Yeqiang thought about it, he couldn't make any decisions for a while, this matter can't be decided at all, I'm afraid I have to consult the executive committee, and they can only decide after discussing it with the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. Therefore, in the end, he only discussed with Chen Li the scale, location and staffing of the timber mill and furniture factory, and then asked Chen Li to go back first and wait for news.

He is very clear about the food shortage in Dongfang Port, and every time there is a message from Dongfang Port, there will be one in it -- solve the problem of food supply as soon as possible. This matter has always been a hurdle in Liu Yeqiang's heart, and now he has found a solution, but it is not easy to solve it due to the safety of the trade route, which is equivalent to not solving it. In the end, all he could do was to send the issue back to the Executive Committee by telegram for them to discuss a solution.

However, this matter did not make him wait for a long time, and half a day later, a special investigator team member found Liu Yeqiang, who was resting, with a telegram, "Chief, the telegram from Dongfang Port." ”

Liu Yeqiang was still on his lunch break, and it was not a joke to meet hundreds of customers every day, and he had to lose a lot of brain cells, so the afternoon rest time was naturally sleeping. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, which were still a little open, and took the telegram.

"What?" Finally seeing what was written on the paper in front of him, he jumped up and exclaimed.

========================================================

Chen Li stood at the bow of the boat, the sea breeze was blowing, hitting the waves on the bow of the boat, and some of the sea water hit him, but he didn't mind these little things at all. Ten days ago, Liu Yeqiang sent someone to find him and asked him to send all the grain in his rice store to the mouth of the Pearl River, as long as it was sent to the vicinity of the mouth of the Pearl River, there was no need to go to sea, there would be a boat to pick him up.

This news made him almost drop his jaw at that time, all the grain in his rice shop, that is more than 30,000 stones, according to the current price of his grain is more than six yuan of silver and one stone, and more than 30,000 stones is more than 11,000 taels of silver. That was a large expense, and he had been worried about the problem of grain sales since the beginning of the spring, and now there were people who were willing to eat the 30,000 stone of grain in one go, which solved his inventory crisis at one time -- the grain was stored in the warehouse, but the warehouse had to spend a lot of money to rent, and the sooner the grain could be sold, the more money would be saved.

He looked behind him, and then at the front, there were still a large number of ships at the mouth of the Pearl River, all loaded with grain. He knew that the flags flying on several of the boats were the main rice lines in Zhaoqing and Mingzhou, and there was not only a shadow in his heart. As an old grain merchant, you can see how much grain is loaded on the ship just by looking at the draft of the ship, and there are at least dozens of ships before and after, and the cumulative amount is enough to have more than 100,000 stone of grain. Needless to say, these people must have also been sent by the people, but who else has the ability to eat so much food in one bite?

But here's the problem, who can eat so much food in one go? More than 100,000 stones, even if it is moved, it will take more than half a month. A trace of remorse secretly welled up in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have listened to the people of the squire to transport all the food, this is all his belongings, would the squirrels be willing to buy them all? What's more, there are so many ships here now, what if people sprinkle here and lower the price on the spot? It's all shipped here, if the price is lowered on the spot, there is really no way, it can't be shipped back, and it can only be thrown away at a low price. Otherwise, the money for chartering a ship can not be reduced, and it is considered to be in vain to ask someone to load the ship before, and a lover will be required to unload the ship, and the loss will be less when the price is lowered.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, after all, he has been in business for so many years, even if he has been fighting geese for a lifetime, he will not be pecked blind by a goose, after all, there are so many ships along the way, it is impossible to pit everyone into a loss, right? He had already begun to calculate in his heart how much money he could be pressed on.

"Master, this is coming!" The boatman shouted from the stern of the lucky boat, "In front of you is the water gate, and you will reach it to the left, you see!" He pointed to the left.

The first few boats in the flotilla had already begun to turn left, turning in the direction of the water gate. "Boatman, what kind of place is this?"

"Draw the water gate," said the boatman, "the current here is very fast, and the boat is no joke, so be especially careful." But after passing this water gate, the water in front of it will be gentle, and then forward is the carp gate, there is a very good seafood, if the lord wants, you can bring some when you go back. ”

Chen Li didn't have much interest in seafood, and he felt irritable thinking about how much he might lose later. The boats in front of them that turned to Liyu Mun were obviously much heavier to handle, and they were moving left and right in the waterway of the water gate.

But there was a very strange thing that appeared from the water in the distance, and no one noticed when they appeared, and more than a dozen dinghy were moving briskly from the water, rowing through the water very lightly, and the movement was incredible.

"How can there be such a fast ship?" A few sailors beside Chen Li said curiously, "That's it, you see that they are just like flying on water, too fast!" "It's a good ship, if only it had to be sold."

The little clippers approached the boats that were swerving in the rapids, and someone shouted at them with a loudspeaker in his hand, "We are from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of China, do you need us to tow you when we come to meet you?" ”

Isn't this nonsense? Chen Li muttered in his heart, turning and moving forward in the rapids is the biggest headache for the captains, even if there are people rocking the oars next to those lucky boats, it is not easy.

Soon someone on board dropped the towing cables, and the dinghys dragged the grain-laden cargo ships to the northeast. It is also very amazing to say, these small boats are less than one-sixth the size of these lucky boats, but they easily drag these large boats through the rapids, although the speed is significantly reduced, but they do not feel the slightest difficulty. The faces of the people in the dinghy were not special, as if they were not exerting any force.

Chen Li was still curious about these boats, when he saw a small boat splitting the waves and sailing over, and a person in the bow of the boat shouted at them with a trumpet-shaped thing in his hand, "Are you from Zhaoqing Chen Jiamixing?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Several sailors on the ship didn't wait for Chen Li to speak, and hurriedly shouted at the coming ship. The man held a piece of paper in his other hand, looked down, and called out again, "Your unloading point is at the carp gate, come with us." ”

"Okay!" Chen Li made a gesture at them, and the boatman didn't wait for his command, so he drove the boat and drove in the direction of the small boat.

All of this revealed a strangeness that Chen Li couldn't understand, but he didn't know how to understand it at all, and at the moment he could only say what those people said, and he did it. He turned his head to see several smaller boats, speeding towards several other fleets, negotiating with the people on board. Some turned towards the direction of Kap Shui Mun, while many boats followed their fleet towards Lei Yue Mun.
