Chapter 594 - Taiwan Trade (2)

Guo Beyu and the others finally found the Sanshiwu Pier, and under the command of the personnel on the shore, they docked the boat, lowered the anchor, threw down the cable, and then disembarked.

As soon as they reached the shore, they immediately felt that they had really arrived in another world.

It's a noisy world!

The sound of whistles, the clashing of iron objects, and the constant roar of many kinds.

Fortunately, Hangzhou itself is a noisy city, and everyone has heard the roar of "pants" and "pants", so it is still acceptable to listen to a more "tom" and "tom" sound, or a "bang" and "bang" sound, which is made by the big iron guy.

But it was easy to say, and everyone's faces were still a little pale at that time.

The pier seemed to be made of boulders, all the joints were normal, and the whole ground was very flat.

Presumably this is the legendary cement, Guo Beyu pretended to know it for a long time, and did not squat down and touch it with his hands like everyone else, it was too unseemly, he secretly rubbed it with his foot, and it felt really hard.

The tower in the distance was frighteningly high, and there seemed to be people on it, but it was not clear to see.

There were also two iron bars on the ground, and there was no end in sight on either side of the long one.

At this time, three people came, and they were also wearing the strange clothes of the previous people, exactly the same.

Guo Beyu thought, this is probably equivalent to the official service of the Hantang Group's City Ship Division, which was previously an inspection in the City Ship Division, and this time it is a small official in the City Ship Division.

After checking the form given to them by Hangzhou Customs, the three people who came were very polite, asking them to go to a big sign to see it for themselves first, and then ask if they had something unclear.

Sure enough, the group saw a large sign on one wall, which introduced the customs declaration process one by one, and also marked the route with colorful patterns.

But there is a green square with large letters written in large letters: Trade Agency Zone.

The square also pointed to the Customs House with a pointed to, and some words were written in small print.

Guo Beyu has an eye disease, in fact, it is myopia, and several famous doctors say that it is evil qi that invades the eyes, but no matter how many pairs of Chinese medicine he has taken, he can't be cured, and if the words are smaller, he can't see clearly.

In fact, the ancients were not light-hearted, and when they came to write brush words, they forced people to keep a distance from the desktop, and maybe the words were still larger; Second, they still have very few opportunities to use their eyes, and it is difficult to get a pleasant tiredness.

As for those extreme cases of stealing light from the wall and lying on the snow sac, let's find out the truth first.

Anyway, Guo Beyu has an eye disease, he asked the people who traveled with him, and the man couldn't understand it after talking for a long time, and he didn't understand some words.

I had to ask the three little officials for advice.

One of the leading officials smiled and said, "In short, they are the ones who help you in your business, and there are several of them here."

If someone complains about them for cheating, once it is verified, the disqualification is not counted, and I am afraid that they will be sent to the sin city to work. ”

Guo Beyu immediately said: "Is this a tooth line?" ”

A dental firm refers to a firm or middleman who negotiates and introduces transactions for buyers and sellers in the market, and receives commissions, and sometimes refers to the peer organization of dental merchants.

In the Ming Dynasty, the operation of a dental shop was subject to government approval and the payment of taxes.

The tooth bank plays the role of "evaluating prices" and "trading with trade" in transactions, controlling the market and managing commerce on behalf of the government, so it is also called the official tooth.

Operating a tooth shop is a feudal privilege, it is a kind of monopoly, no businessman can jump over, and it doesn't count as a stall.

By virtue of its privileges, the company expanded its business scope from providing introductions between buyers and sellers to buying and selling goods on behalf of merchants, paying and storing payments on behalf of merchants, transporting goods, setting up warehouses for storing goods, collecting commercial taxes on behalf of the government, and so on.

It is in a dominant position in urban transactions, and the wholesale trade of most commodities must pass through the hands of Yaxing.

After the Song Dynasty, there were official teeth and private teeth. In the Ming Dynasty, a person who operated a dental walker had to have a certain amount of assets, which was approved by the government and issued with a practice certificate and account books.

The leading officer still smiled and said, "Similar, similar, but there is only one big difference, that is, you can hire them or not!" It's all about the individual's voluntariness.

Their main customers are big merchants, the last time they persuaded an Indian king to hoard a large amount of jute here, not in a hurry to sell, said that they observed, the so-called red canvas factory is being upgraded, according to the law of the past, if it is successful, then there will be a large number of jute, and finally they said, the batch of jute sold at a good price, not to mention, the agent also made a lot of profits.

You don't have a lot of silk this time, and the quantity is not large, so why don't you go to the Commerce and Trade Building and put it up for sale, it's all easy to sell, so that you can save a lot of employment fees-"

"It turns out that this agent really serves us and other businessmen!" The crowd heard it clearly.

Guo Beyu smiled slightly in his heart, and underestimated me, how can I be a person who has a little bit of employment fees.

He shook his face and said, "This little brother, can you recommend a reputable agent for you?" For example, what is the name of the house you just mentioned? ”

He took out an ingot and two taels of silver from his breast pocket and stuffed it into the man, originally just wanting to give a few dollars.

The little official had seen too many such scenes, smiled, pushed Guo Beyu's hand away and said:

"Under the control of the Hantang Group, don't do this! Here, there is no crime of bribery, and there is a felony of taking bribes - more than a dozen people have already been sent to the city of sin in this big customs! As long as you can get on that brand, all of them are reputable, otherwise-"

"Not guilty of offering bribes, felony of accepting bribes?!" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, there is still such a strange law?

The leading official said: "You came through Hangzhou Customs, so you don't need to clean it, go directly to the customs hall to declare!" ”

After saying that, he saw that the crowd did not speak again, and then turned and left.

He thought to himself, two taels of silver, four hundred horse tickets, if you report it casually, not only can you get the silver back, but my whole life will be ruined here -- now in Taiwan, there are more and more people who study in night schools and can read and write, and I will not be left alone.

In the customs hall, the group looked around like dirt buns.

On the floor in the hall, the walls are full of colored marble, which is nothing, and if the house is like this, it is too cold.

The key is the large glass window that is transparent from north to south, it is so bright!

Guo Beyu nodded frequently, yes, such a room is called bright and does not tire the eyes.

He saw that the henchmen of other families were all going to the so-called window to line up, and he disdained this, and said in his heart, where is the so-called service area, how can I line up with other people's subordinates.

At this time, a sturdy man came over, he was dressed in a different kind of clothes, and said, "Let's all go to the line, why don't you go?" ”

"I'm from the Guo family - I remember there's a service area here?"

"Isn't it over there? How many rooms are hung with copper plaques? ”

The strong man pointed with his hand, and Guo Beyu saw that there was indeed a row of doors on the other side of the hall, and there was really something hanging next to the door, and he couldn't see it clearly.

"Thanks for the reminder, I didn't see it clearly in the next moment-"

"No thanks, I'm afraid you're short-sighted, why don't you get a pair of glasses?"

"Well said, well said."

Guo Beyu made a slight gesture and hurriedly left the strong man, he felt that there was a terrifying temperament on that person, although he had a smile on his face, but he was holding a rattan in his hand.

In Hangzhou, I don't know how many people have been beaten by that object, it's scary.

When he got to the row of houses, he saw that the bronze plaque was the same size, but the name on it was different, and there were a few words engraved under the name, and there were even none.

He thought it was interesting and walked through it to take a good look.

"Unicom agent line, there is no word A; There is one agent in the four seas; Wuhu agent line, there are two; There is no vertical and horizontal agency line; There are three agents in Wanye! ”

He stood down at the door of the Wanye agent store, looked at the door, and felt the same as other business houses, not surprising.

"Those three Jia's are the highest level, I heard that it was opened by the fourth son of the Pan family-"

Guo Beyu looked back, and the strong man was still following him, this was for us.

"The Pan family in Guangzhou?"

"Exactly!"

"I heard a long time ago that all the Pan family has arrived here - does this word A mean financial resources?"

"No, it is assessed by the customs department of Hantang Group according to many standards, and they have no right to mark it, otherwise it will be fraud and they will suffer a big lawsuit."

When it came to the lawsuit, Guo Beyu suddenly thought that he had never talked to a person with a rattan for so long in his life, what was his identity? At most, it's a servant, right?

But didn't that person see his Huzhou blue silk straight jacket? This is all silkworms, woven from silk! I'm afraid he still doesn't know how much silver this piece of jade is worth on his fangshi's hat, right?

He pushed open the door of Wanye Agent, and when he looked at it, he was happy.

It's been a long time since I've seen young people with buns on their heads, even if they're wearing weird clothes!

There were four young people in the room, and they all got up and said, "The customer is here, please take a seat!" ”

Guo Beyu heard this again, pure Cantonese dialect, not from the Hantang Group!

He sat down happily on the soft couch and set up his straight placket, when the young men quickly made tea for him, and the movements were really neat.

The soft couch is good, comfortable, and Guo Beyu feels that he has regained his former feeling.

"Tooth-agent business, good business, but why not open the door?"

A young man said: "There are rules here, several agencies are not allowed to open their doors!" ”

Guo Beyu rolled his eyes, and he understood at that time that everyone opened the door, and he was afraid that it would cause disputes in the hall and take the initiative to solicit customers.

When he had told him the variety and quantity of his goods, he saw a few young men looking a little discouraged, and he heard one of them say:

"Uncle, it's better to list these goods for sale, if they are retail, maybe they can be sold at a good price, I wait for the employment fee here to be more expensive than others, or you go to Unicom and Zongheng to see, they are a little cheaper."

Guo Beyu stretched out a finger, waved it gently, and said, "Don't worry, young man, I am the person in charge of the Guo family in Hangzhou, my name is Guo Beyu, have you heard of the Guo family in Hangzhou?" ”

A young man went to a wooden cabinet and rummaged through it for a while, and said, "Master Guo has a big business at home!" ”

Guo Beyu is feeling better and better now, he said: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, if I have a hundred quintals of raw silk in Nanxun, Huzhou, what do you have to do?" ”

The four young men fell silent all of a sudden, and the business became big.

Guo Beyu lowered his head at this time and took a sip of tea, this tea can only barely be eaten, which is not good.

"Is Master Guo going to hand over this business to me?"

Guo Beyu smiled, as if he was back in business, and said, "Yes, but I want to see the advice you gave me first-"
