Chapter 50: I can finally explain to Erdanzi
Gu Changzuo's words aroused Zhu Changyuan's interest, his ultimate purpose of doing business in Beijing to attract money, isn't it still to turn this money into antiques?
If you have the money to collect antiques, Ah Jiu has no time to do it, and he must find someone to do it in the future, but now the manpower at hand is really not enough, if he can use Gu Changzuo's power, it is still a good choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Antiques, ceramics from the Qin, Han, Song and Yuan dynasties, calligraphy and paintings, precious pearls and jade, and all kinds of bronzes with historical value, etc."
When Zhu Changyuan said this, he suddenly thought of a very important thing, that is, what if he collected calligraphy and paintings, and took them to the modern society to identify the age of carbon 14 is not enough, isn't this genuine product also a fake?
No, I'll have to try it next time I go back.
Gu Changzuo thought that Zhu Changyuan had some ambitions in the world, and opened a shop in Beijing to reserve military supplies for the future, but he didn't expect this goods to open his mouth to ask for these things.
Gu Changzuo looked at the black line in his head, naturally he didn't know what Zhu Changyuan was thinking in his heart, and said: "If the general wants this, it will be very easy to do, although the old man is a rough man, he has no fame." However, it is also slightly similar to the art of calligraphy and painting antiques, and these things are still in stock. ”
"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan's eyes lit up and said, "That's good, it's these materials that are urgently needed." ”
"When I get back to the house, let Ermo send a cart to the general first." Gu Changzuo's words are not shocking, but it is a pity that Zhu Changyuan has seen the world no matter what he says, whether you are talking about cars or ships, Lao Tzu will not be so excited.
"Then thank you Mr. Gu."
"General, what did the old man say about the goods?" This is the purpose of Gu Changzuo's here, if the business is not negotiated and he loses a car of antiques, it will not be worth it.
Zhu Changyuan thought carefully for a long time before asking, "I don't know what Mr. Gu wants to do?" ”
Gu Changzuo said: "The general's goods have been studied one by one, all of them are things that are not available in the world today and are urgently needed, as long as you get enough supplies, I don't dare to say more, but like those things in the Ajiu Commercial Bank." Even if it is ten times a thousand times, the old man also has the ability to sell it clean for you. ”
"In addition to Beijing, the coastal provinces, starting from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. All the way to the Huguang area, there are countless cities and towns, and the family is as many as the stars in the sky, and the old man is ready to open up markets in these provinces first, and then take this as the foundation. Along the river, tracing back to the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi, half of the country's territory is covered, and the sales channels are opened, and the financial resources will definitely roll in at that time. ”
"Even, it is even possible to make the general rich and rival the country." Gu Changzuo lowered his voice and said, "The real wealth is rivaling the country." ”
was described by Gu Changzuo like this, Zhu Changyuan couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Although Lao Gu can make a lot of money in this process, he controls the source of goods by himself, and the price is not up to him. There is no competition at all for buying and selling, who does not want to do it.
However, it can't be so cheap.
For the development of Riyue Island, in order to promote the progress of mankind, in order to be able to lead the people of the parallel world to realize the modernization of production as soon as possible, in order to make this world peaceful and stable, and let the Chinese family dominate.
Well, it's all nonsense.
In order to be able to complete the task assigned by the system and protect his life, Zhu Changyuan suddenly sketched another clear form in his mind.
If all these sources of goods are placed on Sun Moon Island for large-scale wholesale, will there be merchants from all over the world vying to go to Sun Moon Island to appear in Qingxing?
That's when the time comes. What will Sun Moon Island look like?
You don't have to think about it to know that it is prosperous, rich, and full of lights.
But. If, according to Lao Gu, all the business in the world is done by him alone, then how can I develop Riyue Island, but your hometown Shanghai has developed.
I have no objection to the development of Shanghai, but it is good to come before you come.
Come on, the idea is certain. Zhu Changyuan looked at him left and right, looked at Xu Ermo with some unhappiness, and said: "Young Master Xu, I promised me not to spread this matter, but now that it has just passed, is it known to everyone?" ”
"Oops." Xu Ermo didn't expect Zhu Changyuan to come here to ask about the guilt, and said: "My lord, my grandfather is a famous businessman in the Ming Dynasty, even if I don't say it, he only needs to inquire a little and he will know." ”
"General, don't blame Ermer." Gu Changzuo smiled and said, "The old man knows that these things are only good for the general, and there is no harm. If you think about it, I am a famous merchant in the world, and it is only natural that all the goods are sold by me, and no one will ask about this matter anymore. In the future, when someone asks, you just push everything on the old man, and the old man will never leak half a point to the outside world. ”
Seeing that Zhu Changyuan didn't say anything, Gu Changzuo stretched out his right hand and raised it to the sky, and said: "The old man swears here, if he divulges the secret of his husband, the old man's family property will be ruined and he will die in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Oh, why should Mr. Gu be like this." Zhu Changyuan hurriedly took his hand and said, "Okay, I promise you, but there is one condition." ”
"Thank you, General, General."
No matter how plain Gu Changzuo was on weekdays, now when he heard Zhu Changyuan agree to his request, he also trembled with excitement, as a businessman, he knew what these goods meant?
That's endless wealth.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the imperial court allowed his development to be unrestricted, within three or five years, his wealth would be as rich as the country, or even better than the country.
"First of all, the blueprint you sketched is impossible to achieve, because I can't get so many goods." Zhu Changyuan took a sip of water and continued: "However, I can promise you to provide you with goods, and it will be provided for free." ”
"What?" Gu Changzuo seemed to have heard it wrong, he was still disappointed when Zhu Changyuan just said that he couldn't get so many goods, and when he heard that Zhu Changyuan provided the goods for free, he didn't understand, "Free?" ”
"Yes, it's free." Zhu Changyuan said: "However, I want seventy percent of the sales, and the remaining thirty percent of the sales as your profits." My condition is that you can only sell within Jiangsu Province, and the goods cannot go out of the province. ”
"Why is that?" Gu Changzuo quit, seeing that the country has such a big market, why did he only confine me to Jiangsu Province?
"Because of other provinces, I want to change the distribution method." Zhu Changyuan naturally still wants to attract wealthy businessmen to Sun Moon Island, but in this way, Sun Moon Island will definitely be back on the cusp again.
That's no way.,If you want to complete the task as soon as possible.,It's impossible to have the best of both worlds without regrets.,Besides,Delivery from Sun Moon Island is a matter of the future.,Once there's income.,This J8 Broken Works Department director doesn't have to do it at all.。
"General, I am willing to reduce the income by another 10%, as long as 20%, I implore the general to give the old man the amount of goods in the national market." Gu Changzuo gritted his teeth and said.
"Impossible." Zhu Changyuan thought for a while, took a step back and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing for a person to be too rich, don't you see what happened to Shen Wansan back then?" ”
Gu Changzuo listened to Zhu Changyuan's words, and his body shook suddenly, Shen Wansan was the richest man in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and later he didn't let Zhu Yuanzhang be slaughtered as a fat pig.
"I promise you the distribution scope of Jiangsu and Shandong provinces, and the division will be calculated according to 30%." Zhu Changyuan also took a step back.
"Good!"
Gu Changzuo understood the truth of being too late, and although he was distressed, he still agreed.
Zhu Changyuan saw that he was a little lost, took a sip of water with a smile, and said, "Mr. Gu is from Shanghai?" ”
Gu Changzuo said: "The old man is from Shanghai County, Songjiang Mansion. ”
Songjiang Mansion, in the Ming Dynasty, the area under its jurisdiction was not large, but it was not small, almost the size of the entire Shanghai city now, but Shanghai County was much smaller.
"Well, Mr. Gu should have a lot of fields in his house." Zhu Changyuan asked.
The ancient Chinese were conservative in their thinking, and when they had money, they desperately bought land, believing that land was the root of everything, even a slightly enlightened businessman like Gu Changzuo could not be an exception.
"Uh, this, don't dare to deceive the general, the little old man has a lot of thin fields in his hometown." Gu Changzuo still wanted to be polite, but he didn't know that his grandson had betrayed him cleanly with a smile, and said: "My lord asked what he was doing like this, my grandfather was called Bancheng, not half of it, but at least one-third of the land in Songjiang Mansion was in his name." ”
"Poof." Almost, Zhu Changyuan vomited on the ground.
Nima, this is still true, one person occupies half of the territory of Shanghai, Nima, how can people be so rich?
"Ahem." Reluctantly drank the sip of tea, coughed silently, and asked, "Mr. Gu deserves his name, I don't know what the yield per mu is in the rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”
Gu Changzuo didn't know why Zhu Changyuan suddenly asked these things, but he also told the truth, and said: "There are 500 catties of good fields, 300 catties of middle fields, and less than 200 catties of inferior fields, and so on. ”
Fertile land can be planted for two seasons a year, and the two seasons add up to almost 500 catties, and the middle field can be planted for one season a year, but the yield can reach 300 catties, as for the inferior fields, it can be planted once every two years, and the yield per mu is only 200 catties if it is planted every year.
Zhu Changyuan listened, and by the way, he lamented in his heart the hard work of the ancient people's livelihood, and then said to Gu Changzuo: "Then Mr. Gu is also rich and rivals the country." ”
Gu Changzuo said: "Where is it, the people's livelihood is hard, it is good to be able to collect one-third of the annual tax, and you have to pay taxes to the imperial court." ”
The so-called payment of taxes is a joke, the peasants in the Ming Dynasty paid a poll tax, not a real land tax, for example, if there are only 20 people in Gu Changzuo's family, no matter how much land he has, he will only pay taxes for 20 people; Similarly, even farmers who do not have an acre of land still have to pay taxes every year.
Zhu Changyuan said: "Mr. Gu doesn't have to be frustrated, the so-called lost mulberry and elm harvest is the east, I will provide Mr. with one thing next year, to ensure that your field can double the harvest, it can be regarded as my compensation to Mr." ”
"How else?" Gu Changzuo was stunned.
Zhu Changyuan told him a rough idea, thinking that this matter was still far away, and he didn't talk about it in detail.
There weren't many things to do next, and after talking for a long time, Gu Changzuo and Xu Ermo said goodbye and went home.
Half an hour later, a large carriage full of antique paintings and calligraphy entered Zhu Changyuan's courtyard, Zhu Changyuan was overjoyed, opened the door of the carriage and saw that there were a lot of dazzling colors.
Haha, now, Lao Tzu can finally give an explanation to Erdanzi. (To be continued.) )
