"Little friend, how do you plan to cooperate?" Liu Defu looked at Ren Siqi with great interest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he is now very interested in Ren Siqi, a showman was first arrested and put in prison, and he was able to escape from prison, and after escaping from prison, he escaped to the sea and made a career, which is not something ordinary people can do.

"There are two modes of cooperation, one is the traditional model like Brother Hu, you are responsible for the supply of goods, and I am responsible for the overseas trade. I can buy your goods according to the higher price than the Ming Dynasty, of course, only pay the deposit in advance, as for what price I sell, it has nothing to do with you, no matter the selling price or the ship is at risk, I will pay you the full amount. ”

Ren Siqi talked eloquently: "There is also a model of shareholding, you take the cargo as a share, and I use the crew of the sea vessel as a share, and we agree on their respective shares, and finally dividends according to the shares." Of course, as a funder, you can send someone to supervise the ship, or take care of the accounts. Let's share profits and risks! ”

Now Ren Siqi's strength is weak, if he wants to develop and grow as soon as possible, he must cooperate with others, and the two people in front of him are the most likely to cooperate with him.

Listening to Ren Siqi's words, Liu Defu secretly calculated two plans, the first plan is more traditional, the raw silk merchant is only responsible for production, responsible for purchasing raw silk from farmers, and then selling raw silk to maritime merchants, the advantage of this model is to make money steadily, without taking risks. After all, the sea is high and windy, and there are countless pirates, and accidents happen to ships from time to time, and if something happens, they will lose everything. However, although it is stable, the profit is also small, as mentioned earlier, the silk is collected from retail investors for 60 taels per quintal, and sold to maritime merchants for 80 taels, and each quintal only earns 20 taels. As for the maritime merchants, they will always earn as little as two or three times the profit, and as much as seven or eight times the profit.

So if you want to make money and make a lot of money, you still have to go to sea to trade. But after all, the imperial court is still forbidden to the sea, and going to sea to trade is not a legal business, and going to sea is extremely dangerous, and only some real big families can organize a fleet. Liu Defu also once thought about getting a ship to go to sea, but even with his strength as one of the best in Yin County, it was not an easy task.

"I prefer the second way of cooperation," Liu Defu said slowly, after thinking for a long time, "but I have to look at your sea vessels to decide whether to really cooperate!" ”

Ren Siqi was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's natural, wait for this Hangzhou incident, my predecessors will go back to Yinxian with me, and I will take you to see the sea boat." ”

Ren Siqi believes that as long as Liu Defu sees the "Flying Fish", he will definitely not refuse to cooperate with him!

"Brother Hu, you can also choose the second option!" Ren Siqi turned back to Hu Deji and said.

Hu Deji shook his head, his family business is small, he doesn't dare to take such a big risk, it's better to make some stable money honestly!

After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention with Liu Defu, Ren Siqi was in a good mood, and the next supply problem has been basically solved, and he can sail to sea again after waiting for Hangzhou.

The passenger ship soon arrived in Hangzhou, and soon after it arrived at the wharf, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in, they were officers and soldiers recruited by Lu Zonghan, and they were responsible for escorting the captured black-clad robbers.

"Brother Ren, I'll go first, if you have time, you can go to my yamen to find me." Lu Zonghan hurriedly bid farewell to Ren Siqi and escorted the prisoners with his subordinates.

"Is there a place for the little friend? Otherwise, it's better to stay with me, and we can also talk about maritime trade by candlelight. Liu Defu smiled and extended an invitation to Ren Siqi, who, as a big businessman, had his own residence in the city of Hangzhou.

Of course, Ren Siqi is very happy, not only to save a sum of money, but also to pull in the feelings of both parties.

Hu Deji came to Hangzhou to find a sales channel for raw silk, and now that the raw silk has been sold to Ren Siqi, he has nothing to do, so he plans to return to Yinxian after two days in Hangzhou.

After all, it was a tribulation together, Liu Defu invited Ren Siqi, it was not good not to invite Hu Deji, Hu Deji was also happy to have acquaintances together, so the three of them went all the way to Liu Defu's house in Hangzhou.

There were a lot of coolies on the wharves, as well as ox carts and mule carts that carried goods. After hiring a few ox carts and loading all the salutes on the boat, Ren Siqi said goodbye to the ship's boss. Due to the murder on the ship, Lu Zonghan ordered the passenger ship to not leave Hangzhou for the time being, and the ship boss was frowning, so Ren Siqi comforted him and said that Lu Zonghan would definitely not embarrass him.

Jin Yufei's movements were very slow, as if he was reluctant to leave the passenger ship, and when Ren Siqi asked him what was wrong in surprise, he couldn't tell the reason.

"He fell in love with that Yingniang, of course he didn't want to leave." Xiong Er's words were full of vinegar, he thought about his daughter-in-law every day, and his daughter-in-law didn't know where she was, Jin Yufei, a little white face, casually hooked up with a girl, how could she not make Xiong Er jealous.

"Really?" Ren Siqi asked in surprise, turned his head to look at the boat, and saw that the girl Yingniang was looking at this with a reluctant face. Since Jin Yufei rescued her, she always likes to answer Jin Yufei when she has nothing to do, Jin Yufei is handsome and has good skills, and the girl's heart is easily captured by him. Jin Yufei is just a young man, and his blood is strong, how can he resist the charm of a beautiful girl, and he soon fell into it.

Jin Yufei glared at Xiong Er vigorously, and nodded at Ren Siqi with embarrassment.

"That's a good thing!" Ren Siqi smiled and said, "You are not too young, and it is time to start a family." ”

"But, I don't even have a home now, how can I marry a daughter-in-law!" Jin Yufei said depressedly.

"If you want me to say that you should simply be a son-in-law, forget it, and join them on the ship!" Xiong Er interjected.

"That's not good, I still want to go to sea!" Having seen the rough seas, he certainly didn't want to stay on a river boat all day and live that kind of boring days.

"Who says you don't have a home?" Ren Siqi's words brought tears to Jin Yufei's excited eyes: "My home is your home, and I will build you a house in Renjiawan as a new house for you and Yingniang." ”

"However, Yingniang's father hasn't agreed to this family affair yet!" Jin Yufei said timidly.

"He'll agree, you're not bad-looking, and you're not short of money now. Anyway, their ship will stay in Hangzhou for a few days, and I will propose to the ship boss for you when I turn around, let's prepare more dowry, and the ship boss has no reason to refuse this family business. Ren Siqi's words calmed Jin Yufei's heart.

Liu Defu's residence in Hangzhou is in the south of Hangzhou, and he came out of the wharf and walked not far before he arrived.

It is a two-entry house, with three storefronts in front of the street, which are engaged in the silk business, and enter through the side door, the front yard is the warehouse and the men's residence, and the back yard is where the master's family lives.

Liu Defu's family members are all in Yin County, and he has only come to Hangzhou several times a year, so the backyard is empty all year round, which is why Liu Defu invited Ren Siqi to come here.

After entering the backyard, Liu Defu asked the guys in the store to help place Ren Siqi and others, and he hurried to the front store.
