Guan Shaohe was stunned for a moment, and then showed a confused look, but soon, his face was filled with ecstasy, this businessman, who had always been gentle and elegant, seemed a little excited at this time, nodded vigorously and said: "Accept it, why don't you accept it, why don't you dare?" Fifth Young Master, how much do you have, how much I will receive! ”

He was not a fool, of course he could see that these things brought by Han Mo were obviously not from the Central Plains, and it was very likely that they were brought by foreign barbarians.

Since Han Mo said this, it is very likely that there will be a situation that Guan Shaohe does not dare to think of, and the maritime trade route will be opened.

There are countless wealthy businessmen in Qingguo who want to take this sea line, they have outstanding talents among the merchants, and they have a keen sense of smell, and they have long known that once the sea trade line is opened, the benefits will be immeasurable.

However, Qingguo was limited by geographical problems, and there was a huge Yan State on land to block it, and it was not only necessary to open up the two passes in the sea area of Wu County and the sea area of Donghai County, but most importantly, the scattered but powerful sea bandits on the sea were the biggest obstacles.

Many years ago, the merchants of Qingguo also gambled once, hired a lot of guards, spent money to open up the coast of Wu County and Donghai County, and took several large ships of goods to trade in the Nanyang countries through the Great East China Sea, until they went halfway, they were robbed by the bandits, the goods were robbed, and the people were killed, and since then, no one dares to take this sea route.

Everyone understands a truth, in this era, the only one who has the ability to open up this sea route is the Han family in Donghai County, but the Han family is afraid of all kinds of pressures and will not do it easily.

Not to mention other pressures, as far as the aristocracy is concerned, the Han family will never pull down this face.

Although the identity of a businessman is not the most humble in this era, it is definitely a class that cannot be put on the stage, and the Han family, one of the nine great families of the dignified Yan Kingdom, will never pull down his body to open the sea route.

In the eyes of every businessman with great ambitions, being able to open up maritime trade is their dream career, but it is not tolerable, and everyone can only think about it in their hearts.

Today, Han Mo brought these foreign goods, and the meaning of his words was obviously a sign of opening up the sea trade routes, as an aspiring businessman, how could Guan Shaohe not be excited.

However, he calmed down in an instant, Han Mo was young and really capable of opening up maritime trade routes? Can those old antiques of the Han family be allowed?

Han Mo also saw the happy and worried expression on Guan Shaohe's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Guan, I came here today to ask for your words, since you dare to accept it, Han Mo will rest assured." ”

……

Guan Shaohe groaned slightly, and then asked cautiously: "Fifth Young Master, you said that there are thousands of such goods, so ...... But did these goods arrive in the East China Sea? ”

"Nope." Han Mo said very simply: "I only have these few items in my hands. ”

Guan Shaohe let out an "oh" and continued to ask: "But I don't know when those goods will arrive?" ”

"Maybe two months later, maybe three months later, maybe ...... Never to come. Han Mo took a sip of the wine cup again, with a look of enjoyment.

Over there, Han Qing had already drunk all the wine, and he felt the taste with his tongue in it.

Guan Shaohe didn't seem to understand Han Mo's meaning, and asked tentatively, "Fifth Young Master, do you mean that the cargo ship is still at sea?" ”

Han Mo didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "The cargo ship hasn't gathered yet." Brother Guan, I came today, one is to let you see these goods, so that I have a bottom in my heart, and the second is to talk to you, I am preparing for this matter, once successful, it is necessary to collect a large number of special products from the Central Plains, and go to the South Seas countries through cargo ships to trade, when the time comes, these collection of Central Plains specialties, but I have to ask you. ”

Guan Shaohe stood up and saluted respectfully: "The fifth young master is concerned about the sea route, this is the prosperity of all the people, and it is also the long-cherished wish of my generation of businessmen. As for collecting the specialties of the Central Plains, but with the order of the fifth young master, Shaohe dared to disobey his orders! ”

Han Mo got up and saluted, and then asked, "According to Brother Guan's opinion, if this really wants to be traded, how many goods will we have to prepare here?" ”

Guan Shaohe thought for a long time before he said: "There are many kinds of things in Middle Earth, if you want to trade, in addition to luxury goods, some daily necessities and special products are also required. For example, silk brocade, tea, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, flowers and plants, jade, etc., can be shipped to trade. Let's try to make the category complete, go to the end, see which type of goods sell well, big profits, to the second batch of we will prepare easy-to-sell goods, this batch of goods, we would rather have less profits, what we seek is to explore the business environment over there. ”

In the final analysis, he is a tender hand in business, compared to Guan Shaohe's immersion in the shopping mall for many years, his words are equivalent to setting the tone for the first maritime trade, but also for long-term consideration, looking far away, just this point, it can be seen that Guan Shaohe's vision is extraordinary, he is really not an ordinary businessman.

"How much silver do you need?" Han Mo asked.

Guan Shaohe stretched out three fingers and said solemnly: "According to Shaohe's opinion, 30,000 taels of silver are indispensable. ”

"Thirty thousand taels?" Han Mo frowned.

Guan Shaohe immediately said: "Fifth Young Master, this kind of transaction, after all, is the first time, it is extremely risky, we don't understand the geography and customs of the Nanyang countries at all, what will happen over there, we don't know, it can be said to be a gamble." The fifth young master can afford Shaohe, Shaohe is grateful, the 30,000 taels of silver, Shaohe is willing to pay 10,000 taels to purchase goods for the fifth young master, and I hope that the fifth young master will not shirk. ”

Han Mo smiled, but his heart was full of irritability.

Doing this kind of business, in fact, there is indeed a risk, who dares to guarantee that there will be no traitors in the Nanyang countries to obstruct it, and they will rob the goods, although it will even lead to the Han family soldiers, but this batch of property is obviously going to be in deficit, Guan Shaohe can come out with 10,000 taels of silver to gamble, which can be regarded as very courageous.

Merchants are profit-seeking, and it is impossible for Guan's trading house to take over the goods of 30,000 taels of silver and take all the risks, after all, the dealer is Han Mo, and if Han Mo does not take out the silver, it is almost impossible to eat the trade difference empty-handed.

Thirty thousand taels of silver, converted into * RMB, that's six or seven million RMB, which is really not a small amount.

Guan Shaohe offered to take out 10,000 taels, firstly, to show sincerity, and most importantly, to hope that this matter could really be done, if it was a treacherous and mean businessman, he would never come up with so much silver.

They can even wait for overseas goods to arrive at a high price, and they are not willing to gamble on this unknown business with their silver.

No one has ever done maritime trade before, and even one person has the possibility of three disasters, let alone such a large business.

The first thing that came to Han Mo's mind was where would the remaining 20,000 taels of silver come from? Can you convince those old antiques of the Han nationality to take out 20,000 taels of silver from the public treasury?

Although the Han family has a big business, 20,000 taels of silver is really not a small amount, and without the permission of the great sect master and elders, it is impossible for him to get a tael of silver.

Of course, he also understands that Guan Shaohe took out 10,000 taels, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous, and he has far fulfilled his responsibility, this is his own risk, not Guan Shaohe.

If it is a domineering child of a family, he may be cheeky or even force Guan Shaohe to simply pay another 20,000 taels, hand over all the risks to the Guan Trading House, and empty the white wolf himself.

But Han Mo won't.

Guan Shaohe treats him with sincerity, and he will naturally treat people with sincerity.

Han Mo has always liked to compare himself to a mirror, because if he sees that the other party is an enemy, he will be ten times more ruthless than the other party, but if the other party is a friend, he will also fulfill the sincerity of a friend.

If you want to trade with Guan Shaohe for a long time, you need both sides to treat each other with sincerity.

Now that Guan Shaohe has shown enough sincerity, he will also give back sincerity, just like if Guan Shaohe is playing cunning with him one day in the future, he will repay Guan Shaohe ten times with cruelty.

Guan Shaohe saw that Han Mo had been silent, and asked cautiously, "Fifth Young Master, is it ...... Confused? ”

Han Mo stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Guan, thank you so much today." Don't worry, I'll give you news about this matter in the next few days, and if it goes well, I'll come to the door with 20,000 taels of silver." ”

"That's great!" Guan Shaohe breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said, "Then I wish the Fifth Young Master all the best." ”

Han Mo smiled slightly and said, "So I'll leave first." ”

Guan Shaohe hurriedly said: "Fifth Young Master, if there is nothing else to do tonight, why don't you go to Bazhen Pavilion together and have a drink?" Or go to Tsing Yi Fang to listen to the tune? ”

Han Mo shook his head and said, "There will be a chance another day, but I am busy today, so I will leave first." ”

Guan Shaohe didn't force him to stay, and personally sent Han Mo out of the Guan family's trading house, and when he saw him go away, he was deeply relieved.

The old shopkeeper walked over, looked at Han Mo's distant back, and said softly: "This fifth prince is very benevolent and righteous. ”

"He was ruthless, you didn't see it. That day in Bazhen Pavilion, he beat Xiao Jing so much that he couldn't get out of bed for a few days. Guan Shaohe said slowly: "But this person is not small, if the maritime trade is really successful, he has really done a great good thing." ”

"Can this be done?"

"It's hard to say." Guan Shaohe frowned and said, "Han Mo seems to be a little sure, but those elders in his clan may not take such a big risk. Lao Sun, you say hello to the road, let them start to prepare for the purchase of Central Plains goods and specialties, as soon as there is an order, immediately purchase, I believe that this can be done! ”

The old shopkeeper said respectfully: "Yes, the owner!" ”

"The person from Shangjing is still on the third floor, you find an opportunity to arrange for him to go out, and tell him to be careful." Guan Shaohe whispered in his ear.

"The old slave understands!" The old shopkeeper respectfully retreated.

Guan Shaohe saw that Han Mo's figure had disappeared at the corner of the street, so he muttered to himself: "Han Mo, Han Mo, I hope you don't let me down!" ”
