The reason why the Jin merchant group indiscriminately opened the price code in terms of exchanging silver money, to put it bluntly, was to have an awkward relationship with Yan Hong, of course, if Yan Hong was willing to be the wronged leader, then this money would not be earned in vain. Now listening to Yan Hong, there are two more important deals. After all, they are businessmen, and profit-seeking is their true nature, so they immediately said: "I don't know if there are two businesses?" ”

Yan Hong was not in a hurry, and took out a piece of paper: "I want to open a warehouse in Datong here, and I need the following goods, but I don't know if you are willing to buy shares or help buy goods?" ”

A few Jin merchants took the paper and looked at it, there were cloths, dishes and chopsticks, clothes, headdresses, miscellaneous grains, etc., all of which were daily necessities. There are also numbers written under each one, which is quite a lot. Tian Zhongguang asked: "Master, who is the Lord waiting to sell these goods?" ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "This official sees that there are hundreds of thousands of military households in the border areas, who has less for daily use?" Therefore, I want to open a goods store and sell it to border soldiers and dependents. Isn't it inconvenient for the border army to buy it here, and then wait for the military salary to be paid, and deduct it directly? To tell you the truth, Ben Chin specially invited hundreds of merchants from the north to calculate these most marketable goods, as well as the quantity and accompanying price. I wonder if you are interested in coming along? ”

These few people muttered in their hearts, saying strangely that they don't know what happened to Datong these days, and the small merchants and hawkers in the past were all taken by Jinyiwei, and I heard that hundreds of them were arrested, and all of them were locked up in the Qincha Xingyuan. What else is everyone talking about, the feeling is that the grandson of the Yan Mansion wants to torture the business experience.

When Jin merchants do business, they do not refuse to trickle down to become rivers and seas. Naturally, they will not refuse small business. Yan Hong's biggest advantage in this business. lies in Yan Hong's own identity. It is the grandson of the head of the Yan Mansion. If everyone is partnered. Naturally, not only can you be exempted from the regular tax of thirty taxes and one, but you can also avoid those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. However, the leader of this group of Jin merchants, who originally had scholars in the family, was not too enthusiastic about this matter. In particular, although the number of military households is large, they have been exploited by Yang Shun for a long time, and they are all poor and scum, and their purchasing power is also very average. The average traveling merchant is enough to supply. If Yan Hong really leads a few major businessmen to do something, it is still unknown how much business he can make. Therefore, Yan Hong's goods company alone is not particularly attractive to Jin merchants. Several Jin merchants shook their heads secretly, and some even sneered, this gentleman is said to be in charge of business in Beijing City, how could he come up with such an idea. Even if you really have this idea, with our business gang here, I'm afraid that we will have to compete with you for business.

Yan Hong said again: "Except for these daily groceries. What other specialties can be exported at the border, and what needs can be entered? We can all do it together. As long as it does not violate the law of the country, it is also the virtue of our business. ”

When Yan Hong said this, several Jin merchants jumped in their hearts. Listening to Yan Hong's digression, it is clearly implied that in addition to doing daily business for military households, could it be that he can also participate in overseas smuggling? You must know that at that time, Mongolia was prolific with horses and cattle, and it was in urgent need of cloth, iron pots and other things in the Central Plains. For example, Yang secretly acquiesced in opening the border market, pinching the national law with one hand and the handle of the knife with the other, seeking huge profits from it. Which of these Jin businessmen did not participate in the process? It's just that most of the profits are given to Yang Shun. Now listening to Yan Hong's meaning, he wants to partner with several major Jin businessmen and directly open the rectification. This is much smoother than Yang Shun's. Several Jin merchants knew well about the oil and water of border trade, and they couldn't help but be a little tempted when they were seduced by Yan Hong like this.

Yan Hong couldn't see the expressions of these people, and continued: "This second case, you guys have a lot of total. There is also a third case, which has recently been opened to the sea. Overseas products are abundant, and we have exchanges with our Celestial Empire, and we can make a lot of profits. It's just that if you want to go out to trade, you must have a guide and you must have money before you can build ships and go to sea. Benchin was able to get some by sending a boat, but he didn't have enough money in his hand. Jin merchants have strong financial resources and reputation, if you are interested, you can also make do with money and help each other in the same boat. ”

When Yan Hong said this, the eyes of several Jin merchants suddenly straightened. How do they not know that overseas profits are huge, but the imperial court has a very strict ban on the sea, and Shanxi is too far from the sea, so there is not much foundation in the coast, and it is not as good as Zhejiang merchants and Huizhou merchants, who rely on the sea to eat the sea, and can rely on family power and local connections to collude with business thieves in private. Hearing the rumors that the imperial court might open the sea, the Jin merchants naturally used their brains. And Yan Song's eldest grandson, Yan Hong, is a pioneer of the Kaihai faction, two times to the south of the Yangtze River, one to the trench, these news are also well known. According to the clues provided by the Jin Shang's connections in the imperial court, it is likely that the ship quotation will be issued by this brocade official who is only in his twenties. Now listening to Yan Qincha's tone, it seems that he has the intention of joining forces with Jin Shang to advance and retreat. The business opportunities contained in this, even fools know what it means.

Several Jin merchants glanced at each other, Fan Tong secretly swallowed his saliva, and said as quietly as possible: "Yan Qincha can also hear the false name of my Jin merchants. In fact, my Jin businessman is just hard-working, earning some hard-earned money, and having strong financial resources, I really dare not be. However, this is a person who is sincere, promises a thousand gold, and those who are allies will inevitably share weal and woe, which is indeed well-deserved. The principle of opening up the sea and trade and benefiting the country and the people is naturally more transparent than my generation. But I don't know what Chincha intends to do with this business. ”

Yan Hong smiled and said, "Ben Qin sent this time, first ask you what you mean. If all of you have a heart, then there are naturally many ways to cooperate. In the early days, everyone had the money to contribute, and they made a strong contribution to go to the imperial court office to get off the ship and attract it, and build a ship to go to sea. The profits obtained are agreed in advance and how to distribute them. If there is an accident, it is also a loss share. These are all veterans, and Ben Qincha is not completely ignorant, so it must be smooth to do it at that time. Ben Qin sent to Xuanda this time, and he will have to stay a little longer, and when the time comes, he will have a great opportunity to talk freely with all of you. ”

When several Jin merchants heard Yan Hong say this, they were all happy in their hearts. Liang Mengming said with a smile: "I don't want Yan Qin to send the grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a generation of young men who are both civil and military, but they are also so proficient in the affairs of our merchants at the end of the four people. ”

Yan Hong waved his hand and said, "This is not a good word. Shinong industry and commerce are just the four kinds of people's duties, why bother to divide the high and low? At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the first-class sage Fan Li, assisted the Yue King Goujian to destroy the King of Wu and dominate the south of the Yangtze River, and then quietly retired, so he changed to business, called Tao Zhu Gong, rich and rival the country, how can this businessman be lower than the civil and military officials? It is all of you who travel to the land of Kyushu, connecting the east and west, north and south, and making money at the same time, it is also quite beneficial to the people of Kyushu. Therefore, the lower officials have an insight, as long as they do not violate the law of the country, do not violate morality, and are not traitors, then they can make money in business, and they are also for the country and the people. If you make a lot of money, you can donate money to serve the country and help orphans and widows, so why not do such things that benefit others and yourself? ”

Yan Hong's words were quite right for the appetite of these Jin merchants. They all think that this Yan Hong is a gentleman, but he is very knowledgeable, and he is more clever than the ordinary scholars and doctors in the court. For example, many people take the money of the merchants, or lend their name as scribes to evade taxes and dividends, but they still despise the merchants. Tian Zhongguang arched his hand and said: "What Yan Qincha saw made the contemptible people fall to the ground. Tonight, I want to set up a banquet at the local club in Datong to entertain Qincha. The three things that Qin Cha said were also allowed to be discussed in detail at that time. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "In this way, this official will disturb the staff tonight." So he brought tea to the guests.

Sending the Jin merchants away, Yan Hong put down a stone in his heart. Among the three things he proposed, the first thing to exchange money for money was that he had a request from the Jin merchants. Opening a warehouse in the Northland is a cooperation between the two companies. And the matter of cooperating with the sea can basically be regarded as a favor for Jin merchants. Of the three incidents, the amount of money involved was the largest, with the third being the largest. The reason why Jin Shang's attitude towards him has improved is mainly because of this, few people will be stupid enough to push out the silver sent to the door.

And the reason why Yan Hong is willing to provide such an opportunity to Jin Shang is also based on the principle that he received sales training in his previous life, and he must be able to give it to others before he can receive it from others. Through the understanding of this era, Yan Hong knew that the Jin merchants were a powerful group of merchants in the Ming Dynasty, especially the Jin merchants were relatively united internally and performed consistently externally, which brought quite strong combat effectiveness in the shopping mall. I had formed a bond with the Jinshang Group because of Zheng Guoqi's affairs before, so now through such cooperation, it is not harmful to partially make up for this hostility. After all, his later plans, such as opening the sea, require the cooperation of businessmen from all over the world. Blindly using domineering and tyrannical means is self-defeating. Previously, in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was very unkind to the local wealthy businessmen, that is a big background, in the position of opening the sea and Zhao'an, the two sides are completely opposed, there is no room for reconciliation, and they have to fight each other down. Now that the overall situation of opening the sea is about to be decided, it is necessary to recruit talents and tie some reliable allies to their camp. (To be continued......)
