Chapter Fifty-Eight: Paving the Road Early
Fan Jia does business by means similar to smuggling, which is also the reason why he is reluctant to cooperate with Zhao Li's family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info pull less, meaningless, pull more, will inevitably be targeted by the local government, if it is also in exchange for cloth coins, it is not canvas for linen, what is the point?
Copper coins are too heavy, too big, to hinder transactions, and gold and silver are not available, and some other currencies have no value at all.
Jiang Hexing thought for a while and asked, "Father-in-law, can you do business directly with foreigners?" I've heard that they all bring gold coins, right? It doesn't cost you much to hire a few translators? ”
Fan Jiadao: "Doing business in Xuwen, we are all under the control of the government, and the court is very strict in all aspects. Foreigners take gold coins, but we don't necessarily receive any money. We have to ask for whatever the government gives. He Wang, look at us, we are also looking for a place here, can foreigners come and do business directly? ”
Jiang Hexing slapped the table, stood up excitedly, and said loudly: "Yes, we do business directly with foreigners." ”
Fan Jia said: "He Wang, their ships are not like our sailboats, they can't go far. Come to us, their ships can't reach us. But in the Xuwen area, the imperial court is very strict, and we can't deal with foreigners directly. Unless, unless there's a place where you can deal directly with foreigners. ”
Jiang Hexing said: "In this way, you send someone to look around to see if there are any small islands or something, if you are a little farther away, I can send troops to protect your safety." What do you think? ”
Fan Jia's body trembled a little, his voice trembled a little, and he stammered: "He, He, Hewang, why are you?" Although Fan Jia is married to you, I don't dare to trouble the Pingzhou army yet. And the king, I have received your heart, I dare not be ashamed. ”
Fan Jia is also too self-indulgent, although you are doing business in Xuwen alone, after this road is opened, there will be more businessmen in Pingzhou. The problem is to avoid the supervision of the imperial court, and to take advantage of some of Xu Wen's favorable conditions, such as the translation is there, and it can't be found anywhere else. This can also be regarded as borrowing chickens to lay eggs, grafting Xu Wengang onto a small island that the nearby imperial court can't control.
Fan Jia thought that Jiang Hexing loved the house and Wu, and for the sake of Fan Jiao, so he wanted to be good to Fan Jia, and even did not hesitate to use the army to take care of Fan Jia's business.
Jiang Hexing even wanted to knock Fan Jia with something to let him know that Jiang Hexing was just focusing on business, not showing favor to him.
Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said: "Father-in-law, you send someone to inquire if there are any small islands that can dock cargo ships, load and unload goods, and it is best to build houses on them, and we can send people to live on them." In this way, we will be the first point of contact with foreigners. Once we are mature in all aspects and have a better understanding of foreign countries, we will also train our own translators. You can find a big island, stay away from Xu Wen, or even go directly to a foreign country to do business. ”
Fan Jia stood up suddenly, propped up the table with both hands, stretched his neck, and looked at Jiang Hexing: "He Wang, how about I send someone to handle this matter later?" ”
Jiang Hexing didn't expect Fan Jia to be so resolute, just do what he says, and don't drag the mud and water at all.
Jiang Hexing looked at Fan Jiadao: "It's snowing now, the port is frozen, it's too troublesome to send people now, right?" ”
Fan Jia said: "Hewang, these don't need to be careful, as long as you agree, I can send someone immediately." ”
Jiang Hexing saw that Fan Jia's tone was unusual, nodded and said, "Then you can do it, I support this very much." If I can make a decision when I come back, I will see the size of the island and send a sailor over to at least ensure your safety and ensure the safety of the transaction, what do you think? ”
Fan Jiaxiao's eyes couldn't see it anymore, and he ran outside. After a while, in the courtyard where I listened, there was a commotion, and people shouted and horses screamed. After a while, the courtyard quieted down, and at the same time, Fan Jia also walked in with a smile and said, "He Wang, the people have been sent out, and this matter should be handled next year." ”
Jiang Hexing saw that Fan Jia's reaction was really fast, and as soon as he said here, he sent someone to Xu Wen to find the island, knowing that with the efficiency of his work, it seemed that he would directly trade with foreigners next year.
Jiang Hexing praised: "Father-in-law, you reacted fast enough. It's just that Pingzhou is freezing now, and your people have to suffer a lot of crimes? ”
Fan Jia pouted and said: "How can you make money without being sinned, it is not easy for a businessman, others look beautiful, but it is difficult to feed hundreds of people." All aspects should be taken care of, and all parties should not dare to offend. Just like this time, I came mainly for the canvas business, Jiao'er has already promised, can I not do it? Now many people in Chang'an are doing it, and it seems that I have to sell it in the Jiujiang area. Hey, the last thing I want is to offend Zhao Guang's family.
Offending the Zhao Guang family and offending your father-in-law and mother-in-law is not good for Jiao'er, not good for my business, especially for Fan Bao's future. ”
Jiang Hexing frowned, Fan Jia thought about this every day, and he didn't know that he was tired. Jiang Hexing said: "Father-in-law, you worry about these all day long, worry about that, you are not only rich in the eyes of others, but also a powerful family, at least in Pingzhou to do business, no one dares to trouble you, right?" ”
Fan Jia said: "No one in Pingzhou is troublesome for me, but I haven't relied on your reputation, Ma Yuan's reputation has done business." I made a comeback in Pingzhou completely on my own. Why did I work hard, isn't it that Fan Bao will be able to gain a foothold in Pingzhou in the future? ”
Jiang Hexing thought to himself, what you said is beautiful, but every time you come to bring a gift, the Manping Prefecture can see it, even if you don't do business under any banner, people will have it in their hearts, and the extra points are invisible.
Jiang Hexing also knew that Fan Jia wanted to pave the way for Fan Bao, especially with Jiang'anbei, although Jiang'anbei is small, but Zhao Qingyi, Zhao Guang, and Zhao Li all look at it, needless to say in the future, as long as Jiang'anbei grows up, their Zhao family is afraid to be more developed. Jiang Hexing thought of the relatives and magnates of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he would be the same here, even if it was still in the bud, someone started to run it.
Hey, in this era, after all, it is not something that can be shaken off by one's own thoughts. Jiang Hexing thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, your plans are far-reaching, and you pity the hearts of parents all over the world." You are also a good businessman and a good way to make money, how do you think a person can make money in the long run? ”
Fan Jia's small eyes narrowed, looked at Jiang Hexing, and said with a smile: "Hewang, do you mean it, I will have a long-term way to make money, and then teach Fan Bao to do it, this is more reliable on your own than on others after all, right?" ”
Jiang Hexing nodded.
Fan Jia continued: "King He, I know that although you are not in business, your knowledge is like that of a god. Can you tell us what you think about making money? (To be continued.) )
