Chapter 140: Advertising

Xia Qianfeng is crazy with happiness today, after learning the news that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the owner of the smuggling, he thought about it for two days and finally decided to take a risk, and sent all his more than 5,000 taels of silk to the ship of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and then signed a contract with the other party, the contract stipulates that if the smuggling is successful, then he will get three or a half percent of the income, if there is any risk on the road that causes damage to the goods, then he and the Chamber of Commerce will jointly bear it.

Originally, after sending the silk in his hand to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Xia Qianfeng began to regret it a little, after all, it was most of his net worth, if there was an accident on the road, it would undoubtedly be a big blow to their Xia family, in addition, although he trusted the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce very much, but when he handed over the goods, he couldn't help but be a little worried, for fear that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce would swallow his goods, so during the time when the fleet left, he couldn't eat or sleep, just over a month, He almost lost more than a dozen pounds.

But the fear for more than a month is worth it, now the fleet of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has returned, and the Zhou Gongzi didn't say a word, he directly moved the goods that belonged to them from the ship, his batch of silk worth 5,000 taels on the ship, and suddenly replaced the pepper worth 20,000 taels, and this is still the value in Shuangyu Port, if he transports the pepper to Nanjing, I am afraid that he will make a few more percent of the profit.

Although Xia Qianfeng has a small net worth, in fact, it is only 10,000 taels of silver, and this is an industry that he has accumulated after working hard for half a lifetime, and it is even more unfortunate that his sons are not successful. So his greatest wish is to make more money in his lifetime. This will also allow the sons to lose a few more years. It's a pity that the business is not so good, and his door is not wide, so he has not been able to make the family business bigger.

However, this time Xia Qianfeng finally made the right bet, and earned back twice the wealth of his entire net worth at one time, and these are still secondary in comparison, the most important thing is to take this opportunity to lay a good foundation with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, as long as he holds on to the money of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the future. He was able to make a steady stream of windfall profits like he did now.

In fact, not only Xia Qianfeng, but also those shippers who cooperated with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce like him also had ecstatic expressions, and most of them were similar to Xia Qianfeng, and their net worth was not very rich, but they were all bold people, and it was precisely because of this that they dared to take the risk of handing over the goods in their hands to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and as a result, they got such a big harvest in the end, which made them not surprised.

But just when these shippers finished counting the shippers and were ready to leave with the goods under the envious eyes of onlookers. saw Zhou Zhong, the owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, stand up and stop them, which made Xia Qianfeng and the others shocked. I was secretly worried about what would happen to this, and I was even more worried that the goods in my hand had flew.

However, Xia Qianfeng's worries were obviously superfluous, and after seeing Zhou Zhong stop them, he first greeted Xia Qianfeng and the others with a smile, and then said: "Everyone, you are the first batch of businessmen to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce, so Zhou hereby announces that in the future, your smuggling cooperation with our Chamber of Commerce will increase the income by two points on the basis of ordinary, that is to say, if others can get three into five, then you can get three into seven, which is also our Chamber of Commerce's thanks to you!" ”

Hearing that Zhou Zhong actually came to make such a discount, these shippers were also very happy, among which Xia Qianfeng shouted excitedly: "Zhou Gongzi is benevolent, we have all made a lot of money with you, and now you have given us such a big concession, in the future, my old Xia will recognize you, as long as there is goods, it will be sent to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce!" ”

Xia Qianfeng's words were not only approved by the shippers around him, but even the other shippers who stood on the port and did not participate in this smuggling also nodded one after another, and now Xia Qianfeng and these people have proved that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is sure to keep its promise, so now they are relieved to cooperate with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. It's just that compared with these cargo owners, those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce have a sad and angry look on their faces, and even some people have shaken their heads and sighed, and they have begun to think about selling the port industry and going home.

But at this moment, I saw Zhou Zhong suddenly turn around, and then shouted at the crowd on the dock: "Brothers of Shuangyu Port, I think you have also seen that our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has developed a new way of smuggling, which not only saves our Chamber of Commerce a lot of trouble, but also allows the owners to obtain greater profits. ”

Zhou Zhong made a guarantee in front of so many people, which immediately attracted the praise of those cargo owners, many of whom were already thinking about how much benefit the goods in their hands could bring? However, those small and medium-sized smugglers in the Chamber of Commerce gritted their teeth even more against Zhou Chong, and with Zhou Chong's guarantee, I am afraid they would not want to receive the goods.

But at this moment, I saw Zhou Chong suddenly raise his hands and press a few times, signaling that he still had something to say, which made the port quickly quiet again, and then Zhou Zhong said: "But now everyone knows the situation of our Chamber of Commerce, if all the cargo owners send the goods to our Chamber of Commerce, with the current fleet of our Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that it will not be able to be transported at all, but it will delay everyone to make money!" ”

When Zhou Zhong said this, he paused deliberately, and those cargo owners also showed a contemplative look, their goods together, it is definitely not a small amount, even if it is a large chamber of commerce like the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to transport it at one time, so it needs to be prioritized, so does it also mean that their goods are likely to be shipped overseas after a long time?

Thinking of this question, those cargo owners all showed embarrassment, but at this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhou Gongzi, what do you mean by these words, is there any other arrangement?" ”

Zhou Zhong heard this voice and turned his head to look at Sanniang, and his eyes also showed a look of satisfaction, the person who asked the question was arranged by Sanniang, and the purpose was to draw out Zhou Chong's following words.

I saw Zhou Zhong smile proudly at this time, and then said loudly again: "This friend is a good question, because our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has limited manpower and ships, and it is bound to be impossible to transport the goods of the cargo owners out of the country in the shortest possible time, in order to solve this problem, our Chamber of Commerce has come up with a new method......

"Zhou Gongzi, don't go around in circles anymore, what is the way to solve this problem?" At this time, someone interrupted Zhou Chong's words in a loud voice, but this time it was not the people arranged by Sanniang, but the people among the owners who took the initiative to ask questions.

"Hehe, don't worry, this brother, this method is actually very simple!" Zhou Zhong said with a smile, "Because our chamber of commerce cooperated with the shippers in smuggling, many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port could not receive the goods. ”

When Zhou Chong said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at the place where the people from the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce gathered, only to see that these people were glaring at him one by one, and many people were very angry at Zhou Chong's words, and some people even thought that he was a cat crying mouse fake compassion!

I saw Zhou Zhong suddenly smile at those angry eyes, and then said: "As the so-called rich everyone earns, of course, our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce can't let those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce go hungry to death because of their own selfishness, so our chamber of commerce decided that we are willing to make a guarantee from it, and match the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce and the shippers, so as not only to facilitate the shippers to ship at the fastest speed, but also to make everyone's interests equal, so that other chambers of commerce will not have no business to do because of our chamber of commerce!" ”

"Coax~~" As soon as Zhou Chong's words came out, they immediately caused a huge sensation on the dock, and those cargo owners began to discuss the pros and cons of this matter one by one. And the people in those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce were all stunned, and they all looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

After a long while, I saw that one of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce woke up from the shock, and then asked in a loud voice: "Zhou Gongzi, what you said is true, is the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce really willing to guarantee us?" ”

Zhou Zhong was also extremely satisfied with the effect in front of him, only to see him look at the other party with a smile and said: "Of course it is true, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, and it is also responsible for protecting the weak and small chambers of commerce in the port, so it is naturally impossible to really force everyone to a dead end, so as early as we cooperate with the owner of the smuggling at the same time, we are ready to guarantee for you, and even after I announce this news today, various chambers of commerce can go to our chamber of commerce to register, Then our chamber of commerce will do an inspection of your chamber of commerce, as long as the chamber of commerce meets our conditions, you can get the guarantee of our chamber of commerce, so as to get the opportunity to cooperate with the owner of smuggling! ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Xie Lingyun and Hong Feiyun, who were still thinking hard, suddenly changed their faces, this news may be good news for those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, but for the two of them, it is undoubtedly bad news, because in this way, Zhou Chong almost pulled the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in the port over, thus forming a huge smuggling group, and the two of them are not qualified to compete with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce at all.

At the same time, there was another person in the crowd who showed the same expression as Xie Lingyun and the others, only to see this person think for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head, looking at Zhou Zhong with a pair of murderous eyes. At this time, Zhou Chong seemed to be aware of it, turned his head to follow the other party's gaze, but only saw a group of people crowded together, which made Zhou Chong wonder in his heart, could it be his own illusion just now?
