Chapter 104: The Host's Treat
What they lack is nothing more than the source of salt goods, the two Huai salt merchants have very strict control over the direction of salt goods, if Wenru Commercial Bank takes the goods in their hands, the cost is too high, and they can't make any money at all, so it is the best choice to go to Laizhou to collect and buy salt silently.
People will starve to death if they don't eat, and if they don't eat salt, they will also get sick and die, the traffic is inconvenient in troubled times, the salt road is almost cut off, and the price of salt is also soaring, and Wenru Commercial Bank has made a fortune on it.
However, if you want to continue to make this fortune, it depends on Li Meng's attitude, when Li Meng controlled Laizhou, Wenru Commercial Bank could also collect salt in the Shijiu area of Qingzhou, but after Li Meng almost controlled the salt trade in the five prefectures of Shandong, this road would not work.
can only be the same as in Fengmeng Town, negotiate the price with Li Meng every year, and then buy salt goods, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the manipulation of wealth in Li Meng's hands.
Li Meng did it quite authentically, and he didn't squeeze them dry and eat them clean, after the price rose in the first year, he has been maintaining this price, and the system that Li Meng has set up has almost no loss on the way, and there are many fewer things to watch out for, and when calculated, it is even better than before.
Since it is a win-win situation, Wenru Commercial Bank also strongly supports what Li Meng wants to do, for example, speculating and selling green salt in Jining Prefecture, if there is no cooperation from people who are familiar with the local situation, it will not have that effect, and what makes Wenru Commercial Bank even happier is that everything that follows Li Meng is almost profitable, which makes their attitude towards Li Meng even more cordial and warm.
As soon as Li Meng came to Jining, he immediately received a warm reception from the shopkeepers of the firm, and deliberately set up a banquet in Linfeng Building, the largest restaurant in Jining Prefecture, to catch the wind and wash the dust.
In his understanding, Wenru Commercial Bank is very open in the north of Henan, and all aspects are selling a little face, of course, Li Meng is going to Jining here, and there is also an important reason for hoping that Wenru Commercial Bank will help arrange, if there is a guide to lead the way and some other care, the road will be much easier.
Shaanxi's chaotic people invaded the army and fought with the blood of the officers and soldiers, and there were several other local forces in Henan mixed in, whether you are an officer or an officer or a chaotic people's background, it is extremely risky, but Wenru Commercial Bank has a lot less consideration in this regard.
In all dynasties, the Confucian family in Qufu is a very transcendent existence, no matter who is the country, always give preferential treatment to the Confucian family in Qufu, after all, this is the descendant of the sage, and China is based on Confucianism, respecting the Confucian family is equivalent to respecting the world's readers, and this scholar is the foundation of the world. So outside, openly and secretly playing the brand of Confucius, everyone has to sell some face. Confucius Mansion flaunts the inheritance of saints everywhere, paying attention to the word "ceremony", but the word "profit" has never been put down, not to mention, these hundreds of thousands of acres of fields, shops and firms in Jining Prefecture, even this private salt trade has to get involved in one or two.
makes people think, what was Kong Lao Er going to the world for......
Although the Meng family is only a hereditary doctor of the Five Classics, the Meng family is often relatively studious, and the family members are often famous for their erudition and have a high status among the literati.
This business house has attracted the Meng family, and it is also in this regard, after all, it is more convenient, the side children of the Confucius and Mencius families are often busy here, of course, they are the kind of children who are very unproductive.
On the Linfeng Tower, Li Meng's status is the highest one, the shopkeepers at all levels are respectful and respectful, Li Meng is also very polite, after three trainings, the atmosphere of the banquet has been high, Li Meng and Kong Xi, the current big shopkeeper of Wenru Commercial Bank, asked about this matter in a low voice.
Roughly we want to go to Henan once, can you help arrange it, and have a good response, after hearing Li Meng's words, Kong Xi was very embarrassed, but Li Meng's status, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he had to open his mouth and answer:
"Lord Li, this matter is not up to the people, anyway, the Lord is not in a hurry to leave, I will go to ask the owner tonight, and then give you an answer, how about it?"
The other party's words were so polite, Li Meng had to agree, he was also in the salt business, and naturally understood what the other party was embarrassed by, private salt sales are nothing more than sources and channels, with salt, but also to find a buyer's home, the buyer's news is easy to see, the price of salt can rise and fall too much, if another seller finds a buyer, as long as the price of salt is reduced, it is easy to pull people away.
The relationship of Wenru Commercial Bank in Henan is all these buyers, if you let these people entertain Li Meng, I am afraid that if Li Meng pulls these buyers away, then Wenru Commercial Bank can accompany him to death, this troubled world of private salt trading is so profitable, but he is not willing to let it out so easily, Li Meng nodded, expressing understanding, at this time, you explain anything The other party will not believe it, but suddenly remembered one thing, and asked:
"Oh? The owner, isn't it Yan Shenggong? ”
"Master Li laughed, these properties are always taken care of by some people in their main houses, these people can call the shots, coincidentally, our owner is in another industry in Jining Prefecture, and I can give you an answer tomorrow morning."
Li Meng smiled and nodded, noon was the joy of the guests and hosts.
I went to my own fragrant salt shop and took a look, although the doorway of this fragrant salt was pioneered by Li Meng, but there were not too many complicated tricks, and it was quickly imitated by others.
More often, they exist as a transit station and procurement point in Jining Prefecture, for example, many materials needed for gunpowder and gunpowder are purchased here.
In the evening, Li Meng went to Jining Yunhe to walk around, this season the canal is the best time, the riverside is still singing and dancing, the warbler Yanyan, a peaceful scene, after going around the circle, he returned directly to the inn arranged by Wenru Commercial Bank, this time he did not meet the old man who wanted to jump into the river by the river.
The next morning, Li Meng discussed with the people on the side of the incense salt shop, if Wenru Commercial Bank is unwilling to help, he will ask his own shop to find a business to deal with, and lead the way, although it is not as convenient as Wenru Commercial Bank, but there is no difference, according to the Di newspaper, the chaos in Henan is currently concentrated in a few prefectures in the south, this time it is mainly to go to a few prefectures and counties in the north, it should not be a big problem.
As a result, before noon, Wenru Commercial Bank sent a guy to send an invitation, saying that it was to invite Li Meng to a private house in the west of the city to have a banquet tonight, and the owner of Wenru Commercial Bank set up a private salt banquet to invite Lord Li, Li Meng was a little surprised, and knew in his heart that the matter of arranging a guide should not be a big problem, but the special private banquet was too solemn, and there must be other things to discuss.
Seeing the inscription, Li Meng smiled, thinking that the so-called descendants of the saints, this name is too rustic, called Kong Sande, it doesn't seem to be arranged according to the generation.
The wealthy people in Jining City are particular about buying industries in the west of the canal city, where there are several small hills by the canal, and in summer it is almost a natural garden scenery, which is very pleasant.
When it was about to get dark at night, under the guidance of the shopkeeper of Wenru Commercial Bank, Li Meng and several entourages followed slowly on horseback, and walked into the west of the city, all of which were large families with high walls and deep courtyards.
Obviously, the nightlife of Jining City has begun, carriages, sedan chairs, and horses go in and out of this area where rich and noble people live, Li Meng noticed that even the characters such as domestic servants dressed as subordinates have ruddy faces and look very healthy, which is different from the small place in Jiaozhou City, where even the so-called rich people live, you can see poor people with vegetables on their faces.
I think that in the area of Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, it is said that the poor people there are already eating soil and eating people when they are most miserable, and the rich in Jiangnan are better than Jining, I don't know how many times.
There is such a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, but looking at the imperial decree in the newspaper, the taxes are still added year after year, but they are all added to the common farmers, but the industrial and commercial industries run by those rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are in the name of not competing with the people, and the taxes are reduced and reduced.
Although Li Meng said calmly, Chen Liuwanghai was the first time to come to Jining, and the surrounding salt was similar, and when he visited Jining City during the day, he felt that his eyes were not enough, and when he came to such a quiet and wealthy place, he was a little dumbfounded, which made those people in Wenru Commercial House very despised.
While thinking about it, it was soon to Kong Sande's other business, the descendants of the Kong family naturally live in Qufu, and the Qufu County Order over there is Yan Shenggong, and the place where the Kong family is the king and hegemon is much freer than outside, but there is also a prosperity that Qufu does not have.
Therefore, people with status are engaged in a foreign house and put it in a prosperous place, and it is also convenient to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, as soon as the shopkeeper of Wenru Commercial House reported, the housekeeper of Kong Sande's house hurriedly greeted him respectfully, said a few polite words, and said to the door, and then Li Meng saw a big fat man staggering out, and as soon as he went out, he first clenched his fists with his hands, with a smile on his face, and said politely:
"Distinguished guests come from afar, distinguished guests come from afar, there is a loss of welcome, please don't be surprised, please ...... inside"
