After the establishment of the ant caravan, it will not claim to belong to the self-built caravan of the Flying Fish Territory, but only show people as an ordinary caravan, and the headquarters of the caravan will not be in the Flying Fish Territory, but will be located in the south of the Bohai Domain. www.biquge.info The Ant will trade with the Flying Fish Territory as a normal caravan, just like the NPC caravans that travel from place to place, transshipment goods, and earn the difference, and the Flying Fish Territory is just one of the stops of the Ant Caravan.

On the surface, it seems that the caravan has nothing to do with the Flying Fish Collar.

Su San is the head of the ant caravan, but the shopkeeper, the account room, the guards and others will all come from the Flying Fish Territory.

Although the ants belong to the Flying Fish Territory, the caravan will operate independently, and even if it trades with the Flying Fish Territory, it must pay for the goods in time to avoid the caravan being dragged down by unnecessary internal debts. Every three months, the ants report to the territory on the previous operations and profits, and if the territory needs to draw funds from the caravan's profits, in principle, it must be proposed at the time of the caravan's report.

The first thing Su San did after reporting was to train a group of merchants for the territory and build the overall framework of the caravan. Feiyu Ling is not a businessman who can't draw out superfluous, but it only takes 15 days for master talents to train newcomers, and there is an opportunity to directly train intermediate talents, of course, you must make good use of it.

Yu Buzhi was not there, and Xun Yan welcomed Su San on behalf of the flying fish leader.

Due to the particularity of the Flying Fish Collar and Xun Yan's extremely sensitive identity, whether or not to tell Su San the truth has caused some discussions within the Zhulu Collar. The final result is still based on stability, Su San has just arrived, and he has the background of Su's big business, and the sincerity of the Feiyu Leader seems to be not low, but you might as well take a look at his achievements first, and then make a plan.

For a newcomer who has just come into contact with it, it may not be a good thing to be exposed to too many secrets at once.

But after all, Su San is already a person from the Flying Fish Collar, and the system belongs clearly, and there are some things he needs to know.

In the Flying Fish Territory, the titular deputy city lord is Ni Yi.

When Xun Yan met Su San, he expressed his attitude of accepting Su San: if he was an outsider, then it should be Ni Yi who approached him, not the scribe surnamed Xun who was hidden behind the scenes and claimed to be from Yuzhou. Su San is from the family of businessmen, and he has a lot of eyesight to see people, Xun Yan's celebrity morale can't be pretended, it is indeed enough to throw Ni Yi countless streets, although the other party did not report his full name, but Yuzhou, Xun surname, who else can cultivate this kind of celebrity besides that family?

Yingchuan Xunshi!

The flying fish collar actually has the children of the Yingchuan Xun clan!

Su San was very excited.

Brother guessed correctly, the Flying Fish Collar really hides a master!

After coming to the Flying Fish Territory, the doubts in his heart were more than that.

One city and two towns, and the number of subordinate territories is not like words......

It's just that there are few subordinate territories, and the surrounding terrain of the Flying Fish Territory is actually equipped with an army of 4,000 people, of which half of them are cavalry and sailors, which territory army will be like this?

The small number of dependent territories may be due to the limited geographical location of the valleys; Vigorously training cavalry and sailors may be the lord's personal preference, and there is no need to make a fuss about other strategic reasons that he can't think of for the time being. Then, the high production efficiency of Flying Fish Ling's grain completely subverted Su San's existing cognition.

Qu Chen made it very clear that the main purpose of forming his own caravan was to solve the problem of the food shortage in the Flying Fish Collar.

Before Su San reported to work, he did some homework in advance.

Since the main task is to solve the food problem, under normal circumstances, what is the per capita grain consumption of the territory and how efficient the grain production is, are all things that Su San needs to pay attention to. Knowing this information, we can roughly calculate how much food Feiyu needs to import at different stages and with different populations. After coming to the Flying Fish Territory, Su San inquired about the population and food production of the territory, but the result made him confused.

By the usual standards, it is impossible to feed so many people with the food produced by the flying fish collar.

Even if the production efficiency is doubled on the basis of the usual standard, it can't!

The Flying Fish Territory enjoys the special blessing of Shennong, and the grain production efficiency is already the highest in all territories; Another fishery subordinate territory, due to the natural ability of the frog dragon, the fishery production efficiency has increased by 400%. This allows the Flying Fish Territory to provide enough food for the territory with very limited manpower.

Su San didn't know what to do, so he naturally felt incredible.

It's a mysterious territory......

Not seeing the mysterious Flying Fish Lord, and even Mr. Xun not telling him his full name, Su San was a little disappointed.

But he didn't complain too much, instead seeing it as a test for the Flying Fish Collar to put him to the test.

Su San did not reject this: a newcomer, who had just joined the Flying Fish Territory, had not made an inch, and had not yet proved his worth, and it was too normal for the territory to have reservations about him. There are many mysteries in the Flying Fish Territory, and if he wants to gain more recognition in the territory, he must make enough achievements to prove himself.

Prove yourself......

Let's do a good job!

How can the children of the Su family be willing to make a small fuss?

Su San said suddenly: "Mr. Xun, I have some opinions on the caravan management policy. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"Previously, Deputy City Lord Ni told Zai that the ant caravan only needs to be responsible for providing enough food for the Flying Fish Territory, and by the way, sell some of the surplus products in the territory. At present, the Flying Fish Territory is still self-sufficient in food, and the profit of ordinary products is extremely low, if according to the minimum requirements of the territory, the ant caravan has almost no business to speak of, and even the normal expenses of the caravan cannot be earned. Operate like this, stealing is too conservative and a waste of human resources......"

Xun Yan looked at the young man in front of him with great interest, and felt a high fighting spirit.

He remained silent and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Merchants seek profit, of course the caravan must work hard to make money for the territory!"

Su San said as a matter of course: "Besides, if the caravan wants to upgrade, it also needs to earn enough profits......

Xun Yan couldn't help laughing.

Su San's words simply went to his heart.

The first time I was looking for a caravan to cooperate was to ensure the food security of the territory and to take precautions. The arrival of Su San made the Flying Fish Leader unexpectedly able to form a caravan on his own, investing a master merchant and a number of people, if it was still the original goal, it would be a little unenterprising.

How to make the caravan earn more profits is something Xun Yan has been considering.

I didn't talk about it before, because he didn't want Su Sanyi to come, so he raised the target a lot at once, leaving the other party with the impression that "Flying Fish takes things for granted". Although Xun Yan is a celebrity, he is not proficient in business, he plans to wait for the caravan to operate, he must have the opportunity to learn more, by the way, observe Su San's ability from the side, and then gradually increase the weight, so that the caravan can shoulder more responsibilities.

The Flying Fish Territory has two docks and 4,000 troops, and its operation and construction all depend on the blood transfusion of the Zhulu Leader, and Xun Yan has long hoped to reverse or at least alleviate the degree of dependence on the Zhulu Leader. But there was no feasible strategy for a while, and the establishment of the caravan allowed him to see a ray of light.

The other party took the initiative to mention that the caravan should make money, but Xun Yan couldn't ask for it.

Su San wanted to upgrade the caravan, which made Xun Yan feel deeply gratified.

The caravan system is divided into five levels, and new caravans like Ant are all first-level caravans in the initial stage. Caravans can gradually gain business experience and increase the level of their caravans.

The higher the level of the caravan, the stronger the caravan and the higher its popularity in the business world, and the benefits of a high caravan level are reflected in various aspects: it is easier to obtain orders from relevant NPC forces; The more room for bargaining; Able to buy and take away more goods; In the face of direct competition, high-level caravans have priority; There are even some markets or businesses that must reach the corresponding caravan level to be eligible to enter......

Even if Xun Yan was an outsider, he knew that it was very difficult to raise the level of the caravan.

Su San wanted to raise the level of the ant caravan, at least to prove that he was willing to calm down and run the caravan for a long time.

Xun Yan thought for a while and asked, "I heard that it is not easy to raise the level of the caravan. ”

Su San said: "Mr. Xun, the so-called interlaced is like a mountain, and it is not easy for everyone to upgrade the caravan, in fact, because there are not many traders, many people despise businessmen, regard the way of business as a small road, and have no interest in studying, so it is too difficult to upgrade the caravan." In the lower generation of merchants, the good ones are to buy low and sell high, communicate with each other, and make profits from it, which is the key to upgrading the caravan, but they know a little bit about it. ”

"According to you, there is a trick?"

"Naturally, there is."

Su San explained: "If you want to upgrade your caravan quickly, the most important thing is to make money!" Earn more money! The more money you make, the faster your caravan will level up! ”

Xun Yan suddenly realized.

It couldn't be more reasonable for merchants to make money as the most important basis for upgrading their caravans. This trick seems simple and straightforward, but it is easier said than done, and how much can you really do to make a lot of profits under the competition of many caravanserais.

"I hope to increase the caravan start-up fund."

Su Shi helped Feiyu Ling pay a million caravan deposit, and the money was handed over to the system and could not be misappropriated, and the caravan still needed funds to start. In view of the fact that the territory has no urgent trading needs for the caravan at present, it was originally planned to give Su San 500,000 start-up capital, but since Su San intends to do a big job, the start-up capital is a little insufficient.

Xun Yan agreed to Su San's request, and the starting fee was increased to one million.

This million gold was originally a deposit for the self-organized caravan.

"The territory has been relatively tight recently, and I can't take out more for the time being."

Su San said with a smile: "Mr. Xun, there is one million gold at the beginning, which is barely enough. But the ant caravan is start-up, lonely and nameless, even if you have money, it is difficult to open the situation in a short time, for the development of the caravan, there is one more thing, you need Mr. permission. ”

There is no doubt about employing people, Xun Yan decided to stand up to the end, and said angrily: "If you have any requirements, just come." ”

"There are more than 2,000 high-grade war horses in the territory, and I hope to let the caravan trade ......"

Su San elaborated his caravan development plan to Xun Yan.

The Flying Fish Collar does not have any specialties that can be obtained, and the ant caravan is in its infancy, and it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the caravan to make a profit. But there are a lot of war horses in the flying fish territory, war horses are not only high-value commodities, but also hard currency in demand, the farther away from the place of origin, the greater the appreciation, for a new caravan, it is undoubtedly a very wise decision to open up the market and expand its influence by selling war horses in the early stage.

You must know that Su San is from the Su family of Zhongshan, a professional horse dealer.

He has just reported to the Flying Fish Collar, and if he wants to gain more recognition from the territory, he must make good results as soon as possible. Starting from the horse market that he is most familiar with and is best at, he will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort, and he will basically not worry about capsizing.

The largest horse merchants in Hebei were the Su family and the Zhang family.

The ant caravan intends to sell horses, and it seems that there is a risk of direct competition with the Su and Zhang clans, but it is not.

Su San decided to give up the short line and mainly run long distances.

Long distances are harder and riskier, and the vast majority of caravans are reluctant to do that.

But long distances often mean higher profits.

Aren't ants supposed to be hard-working......

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's horse trading business was concentrated north of the Yellow River, and Su San planned to let the ant caravan traffic horses to the south of the Yellow River, not only to avoid competition with his own family, but also because Henan was far away from the production area of war horses, so he could obtain more profits! In addition, the grain production efficiency in the south is slightly higher than that in the north, especially Jingzhou and Yangzhou, which come with a regional grain production bonus BUFF, and the food price is cheaper.

Caravans have special cargo spaces, which can easily carry bulk commodities (non-living creatures, horses cannot be loaded into the cargo space), and this is the case for all caravans, so there is no need to think too much about transportation.

By the way, the size of the cargo space is likewise related to the caravan class.

Although he felt that Su San's request was reasonable, Xun Yan was still a little hesitant.

After the creation of the Broken Cavalry, all the war horses were allocated to the cavalry units, and if the war horses were sold, what would happen to the cavalry? Qu Chen was so attentive to the cavalry troops, and it was not easy to practice decently. To be more realistic, the war horse was brought back by Qu Chen with the Rock Battalion, and the territory had never spent a gold on it, and now he suddenly told him that the war horse was going to be sold by the caravan, and it was strange that Qu Chen had no opinion.

Based on Xun Yan's understanding of Qu Chen, offering "the overall situation is important", Qu Chen should agree.

Taking 10,000 steps back, Qu Chen still couldn't figure it out, and let the lord move with affection, Qu Chen would definitely not refuse. But Xun Yan has always been "loyal", he wants to share the worries of Yu Buzhi, instead of trying to make trouble for Yu Buzhi, in case this matter makes the two brothers unhappy, wouldn't he be extremely evil?

Su San dispelled Xun Yan's doubts.

"The essence of business lies in circulation."

"The second general and the white horse general are friendly, and the flying fish leader wants to buy a horse, which is very convenient."

"A thousand cavalry in the territory, with two thousand war horses, is redundant, sell those surplus war horses first, get a profit, and then buy more war horses with profits, and the profits are like snowballing. When the ant caravan opens up the situation and the business grows, the second general will not have to worry about not having enough war horses available. ”

"Even if it doesn't go well to buy a horse from General Baima, you can buy a batch of war horses through your own family, and you will definitely not let the broken cavalry have no horses to use......"

Su San thought about it so thoughtfully, Xun Yan didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately agreed.

Half a month later, the merchants trained by Su San personally came out, and the guards prepared by the territory were also in place one by one, and the ant caravan officially entered the business stage. Soon, the caravan was carrying the surplus goods produced by the Flying Fish Collar and driving two hundred high-quality war horses on the long road to the south.

Because it was an independent business, two hundred horses cost the caravan more than 800,000 gold.

Su San couldn't take more.

The transaction price is calculated at 10% off the local horse market price, which is the lowest price that Feiyuling can give to ants.

Whether a caravan is buying or selling, there is a reasonable bargaining range based on the market price. In the eyes of NPCs, this is a necessary maintenance of the market system, but in Yu Buzhi's view, it is clearly a precautionary measure for the system to prevent players from cheating and quickly brushing the level of the caravan after increasing the difficulty of players forming their own caravans.

There is not much room for bargaining for ordinary goods, and specialty products are slightly better.

The meanness of the Buddha is everywhere!
