Chapter 667 Doing business requires capital

This tavern gathering gave birth to the initial establishment of the East China Sea trade system.

Strictly speaking, the current East China Sea trade system is only a little rudimentary, and the mode, depth, and scale of cooperation are very limited, and even the name of the "East China Sea Trade System" has not been established, but when this system is put into operation, it immediately radiates a remarkable vitality, and both sides of the cooperation benefit from it.

At this stage, the only indispensable territory in the trade system is the only buyer, Fengxiang City of Aniu, and without Fengxiang's sales channels, the system has no meaning at all. Feng Xiang resold guò to obtain profits, and obtained cheap raw materials and grain with the right to subscribe for finished products, Feng Xiang held the initiative of cooperation, but Ah Niu was not criticized for this.

This is because, in the trade dealings with partners, Fengxiang has always adhered to the spirit of the contract, and will never change the purchase price or lower the price for no reason to obtain greater benefits, as long as the trade agreement with Fengxiang is signed, Fengxiang will make every effort to ensure that the terms of the agreement can be realized. All cooperation is based on voluntariness and equality, and Fengxiang's reputation in business is getting better and better!

The respective sovereignty of the player territories that cooperate with Fengxiang is respected, they are not vassals of Fengxiang, but only a purely commercial cooperative relationship, and the commercial activities of Qiē abide by the spirit of the contract; When a trade deal is completed, both parties can choose whether to continue working with the other or to stop here and come and go freely.

Feng Xiang has never had the luxury of cooperating with Guò trade, and gradually completed the control of those collaborators, making them become Feng Xiang's vassals, Ah Niu knows that the exhibition of other territories is not as good as Feng Xiang City, it does not mean that the IQ of those lords is problematic, they may just lack a little opportunity and luck. It is precisely because their territory is slower that they are more sensitive to security issues and sovereignty issues, and the slightest disturbance will make them more vigilant.

That's why. All cooperation was limited to the commercial sphere, military cooperation was classified as a forbidden area, and Ah Niu Qing refused to take a step beyond Lei Chi, flatly rejecting the "all-round cooperation" proposed by a lord. Ah Niu could see at a glance that the so-called "all-round cooperation" was that the lord hoped to take advantage of Feng Xiang's power to protect himself. Rather than thinking of this as "cooperation", it is better to say that Feng Xiang unilaterally provides "protection", and this will make more territories more vigilant against Feng Xiang.

When the East China Sea trade system gradually matured, the outside world received rave reviews, and Zheng Aniu, the founder of the assembly and the lord of the first city in the world, also became famous again because of this system, which made Aniu ashamed again, in fact, Aniu just "brought" Chen Shuo's operation mode in Luoyang.

"This is the fairest, most equal and freest way of trade and cooperation I have ever seen!"

"Win-win mode!"

"The person who created this trading system must have been a genius...... What did you say. Is it Zheng Aniu, the lord of Fengxiang City? I heard it right, why would the strongest player territory cooperate with the outside world through this model and let others share the profits. Wouldn't it be easier to directly send troops to conquer by force? ”

Fengxiang cooperates with the surrounding players' territories. Although more than two hundred city-level lords were invited at the beginning. But it really got the local batch partners for orders for finished products. There are only twenty of them. Not one out of ten.

Twenty batches of cooperative territories. Except for the first batch of signed agreements, player territories. Add the road to heaven and the territory of the free land. The two colonial lords had been waiting and seeing. The reaction was a little slower. When they don't see what they're doing. I can't regret it. Ah Niu took into account the stability of the six colonies. and long-term cooperation with Blu-ray City and Sea Soul City. It was finally agreed that the two territories would be included in the list of approved partners.

It's not that the cooperation model proposed by Niu is not attractive. Although after coming up with the second list of demand, Ah Niu has already said that there will be no new land demand that day. But some of the land lords are heavily stimulated by the player. lest we miss the opportunity again. More than fifty more lords signed agreements with Fengxiang for the sale of raw materials and grain. The opportunity has been missed by them. They don't want their next chance to be missed as well.

The remaining Earth Lord players are mostly cautious. Two large orders have been split between the first lord players. Signing an agreement now does not bring them realistic benefits. Instead, they sold raw materials and grain to Fengxiang cheaply. It doesn't seem to be a good deal. As a matter of fact. There are still some lord players who are skeptical. After two big orders today. Is Feng Xiang really like a certain city lord just promised? An average of 3-5 orders per month?

Ah Niu didn't explain it at the time. The value of those three to five orders. No one can guarantee it. Will the Fengxiang City Lord take advantage of it! Therefore. They prefer to stay on the sidelines. I also don't want to recklessly give up my territorial interests.

A certain city lord knew what they were thinking. Hesitant about these lords. Ah Niu just laughed it off. In fact. Based on the current economic conditions of Fengxiang. Twenty or so cooperative territories. It has been able to meet most of Fengxiang's needs. And now there are more than 70 player territories that have decided to cooperate. Fengxiang has no shortage of partners.

If Feng Xiang's land order is compared to a big cake, this cake is enough for twenty people to eat, but more than seventy people share this big cake, and no one can eat enough. This situation is deliberately done by Ah Niu, and the situation of more monks and less porridge is more in line with the interests of Fengxiang City.

In terms of choosing a partner to work with, Fengxiang has more leeway!

The large number of competitors will make Fengxiang's collaborators dare not make mistakes, they cherish every contract incomparably, and the possibility of malicious breach of contract is almost zero. Everyone knows that as long as there is a record of breach of contract, they will no longer be able to get Fengxiang's order while bearing the liability for breach of contract agreed in the agreement!

Since the beginning of the second month, the order depends on the ranking of the total sales value of raw materials and grains, and it is necessary for each cooperative territory to sell a large number of raw materials and grains needed by Fengxiang in order to obtain orders!

With the deepening of cooperation and the growth of the territory, their dependence on Fengxiang City will become more and more obvious, and eventually become a manufacturing plant and raw material production place in Fengxiang.

Unless they are willing to continue the turtle show, that outcome is hard to avoid!

The player's territory that cooperated with Fengxiang soon appeared, and Fengxiang City did not have much demand for raw materials. Fengxiang already has its own raw material production system, and the production capacity is not bad. It is only because the productivity of various processing industries has increased too quickly that there have been some problems in the supply of raw materials, and the current purchase of raw materials is of course not too large.

After the establishment of the East China Sea trade system, it is not difficult to understand that the main commodity purchased was grain.

The people live on food, and sometimes food is more reassuring than gold and silver in troubled times. Fengxiang's food security has reached the point where it has to be taken seriously. Whether it is to feed a large number of villagers in the territory, or to consume the Baihua wine land with increasing production, the necessity of grain procurement is determined.

It is worth mentioning that the first batch of territories that carried out trade cooperation with Fengxiang, in order to obtain orders for manufactured goods, sold to Fengxiang at a low price of grain and raw materials, even cheaper than the grain purchased from the Mi Chamber of Commerce, about one percent, do not underestimate the price difference, just carefully calculate the cost of Fengxiang in buying food every month. It is not difficult to see how much money such a transaction has saved for Fengxiang!

In the long run, the East China Sea trade system has an obvious role in promoting Fengxiang's economy. The so-called advantages must have disadvantages, and the trade system also brought some trouble to Fengxiang.

First of all, when Ah Niu released two large orders with a total value of nearly three million gold, he claimed to the outside world that the batch of goods was used to trade with the Wuhuan tribe, but in fact, these finished products would be shipped to Liaodong to solve the urgent need of the fat dragon baby.

A certain city lord is reluctant to rely too much on the power of the Chamber of Commerce, although the Mi Chamber of Commerce is easy to use, it will share a lot of profits; As for the fledgling Harmony Chamber of Commerce, the Qiang market is already enough for them to drink a pot. Therefore. Ah Niu would rather operate the Liaodong market by himself.

The problem is that Fengxiang's trade with the Wuhuan tribe has all been handed over to the Mi clan of the East China Sea.

The Mi clan's ability is beyond doubt, they have never disappointed Feng Xiang, "Feng Xiang City buys items from the surrounding territories on its own, and personally operates the transaction with the Wuhuan tribe", which is a loss of integrity. Although it is only a disguise, it is still likely to cause unnecessary trouble when it reaches Mi's ears, and Mi's emphasis on integrity is admitted. After the misunderstanding, it is very likely that he will completely "break up" with Feng Xiang, which will bring disastrous consequences.

When Ah Niu realized this problem, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and soon rode the Black Feather Eagle King directly to Qishan County, Xuzhou, to find Mi Zhu to "drink tea", and explained by the way. Of course, it is impossible for Ah Niu to sue Sù Mi Zhu that Feng Xiang's purchase of various commodities is to trade with the Yellow Turban Army that occupies Liaodong, and he squeaks and deduces, "There is a shortage of materials in Luoyang Market. Therefore, it was acquired in the name of Wuhuan trade...... It is by no means a commodity traded with the Uhuan. ”

It's not a clever excuse. Even Ah Niu himself was a little embarrassed.

Luoyang, a third-tier city scale, needs so many goods?

Even if it is really what Luoyang needs. It can also be purchased locally, and it can be transported from Qingzhou to Sili with labor and money?

Mi Zhu didn't dwell on this issue, just looked at Ah Niu a few times, and then asked with a smile, "Just now Ah Niu City Lord said that those commodities have nothing to do with Wu Huan?" ”

"Of course, I am not a perfidy!" This sentence, a certain city lord replied quite confidently.

"That's it. As long as the Ah Niu City Lord is sure that he has not broken our agreement, what is Feng Xiang going to do when he buys so many goods, there is no need to sue me at all. Whether it is to transport those goods to Luoyang or to other places, the Mi family has no right to intervene. ”

Leaving Mifu in Qishan County, a certain city lord sighed, "It's really enjoyable to deal with a smart person like Mi Zizhong." ”

Mi's misunderstanding can be regarded as an ice relief, and a hidden danger has disappeared, but the real trouble has just begun. The purchase of grain, raw materials and manufactured products requires a lot of money, Feng Xiang's cash is far from meeting the actual needs, when Sun Liang hurriedly ran to a certain city lord to complain, Ah Niu realized that he seemed to think things too simple.

"Lord, doing business also requires capital!" Sun Liang's face was pale, and it looked as if he might faint at any time.

Feng Xiang began to trade with the Wuhuan Taran tribe very early, and the war horses of the Talan tribe were sold to the Mi clan, and then the Mi clan's grain, weapons and other materials were sold to the Talan tribe, and Feng Xiang only acted as a transporter and reseller. All the trading materials do not need Feng Xiang to prepare, the Talan tribe and the Mi Chamber of Commerce have recognized the short-term arrears of Fengxiang City, Feng Xiang does not need to prepare any capital for the war horse transaction, and the Mi clan has been silently handling everything in an orderly manner.

After a long time, a certain city lord had the illusion that a qiē was as simple as that.

And now, those territories that cooperated with Feng Xiang were obviously not like the Mi clan and the Taran tribe. Give a city lord a preferential "day tent period". In their opinion, the money in the first city in the world must be too much to be used up, they need to get the funds to expand the territory, if Feng Xiang can't come up with the money, not only will a certain city lord be discredited, but the East China Sea trade system will soon collapse!

Arrow to the string. had no choice but to go forward with a certain city lord.

After the establishment of the East China Sea trade system, it is not difficult to understand that the main commodity purchased was grain.

The people live on food, and sometimes food is more reassuring than gold and silver in troubled times. The food security of Fengxiang has reached the point where it has to be taken seriously, whether it is to feed a large number of villagers in the territory or the consumption of Baihua wine, which is constantly increasing, it determines the necessity of grain purchase.

It is worth mentioning that the first batch of territories to carry out trade cooperation with Fengxiang. In order to obtain orders for finished products, the grain and raw materials sold to Fengxiang were sold at a low price, even about 10% cheaper than the grain purchased from the Mi Chamber of Commerce. Don't underestimate the price difference, as long as you carefully calculate the expenses that Feng Xiang spends on buying food every month, it is not difficult to see how much money such a transaction saves Feng Xiang!

In the long run, the East China Sea trade system has an obvious role in promoting Fengxiang's economy, and the so-called advantages must have disadvantages, and the trade system has also brought some trouble to Fengxiang.

"How's it going?"

"We have signed an agreement for the purchase of raw materials and grain, with a total value of 10,000 gold, which is expected to be paid in full within seven days; The two orders for finished products totaled 10,000 gold. The first order will be paid within days, and the second order will be paid within days...... It is expected that the territory will have 10,000 gold income in the next 10 days, and all expenses required for the normal operation of the territory will be spent 10,000 yuan, and the cost of building the third-level city wall in the upper ground during this period is booked to be ......

Ah Niu couldn't help but be a little upset, Feng Xiang's high income and high expenditure have always been inseparable, and the surplus accumulated by saving money on weekdays is simply not enough to support Long Fei and Luoyang's full development at the same time. "Simpler, how much money is needed to get through this?"

Sun Liang quickly calculated, and when the report "Ten thousand gold, this money must be in place within seven to ten days", the poor deputy city lord Sun looked at Ah Niu directly, almost frightened stupid.

When a certain city lord first heard this number, he couldn't help but gasp. At this time, Ah Niu realized how lucky it was to be able to cooperate with the Mi Chamber of Commerce for a long time. Mi didn't need Feng Xiang to advance funds at all.

This question didn't bother Feng Xiang for long. Ah Niu's reaction was not covered, and he quickly thought of a solution: there was such a large funding gap. The reason for the relationship is that the materials purchased for the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army are not worth much, and Feng Xiang is unable to advance so much money for the Liaodong Army, in this case, with the alliance between Fengxiang and the Yellow Turban Army, it seems reasonable to let the fat dragon baby first come up with enough funds for Feng Xiang to use!

After acquiring the wealth accumulated by Gongsun Du over the years, the Yellow Turban Army already has a huge amount of funds, and the Yellow Turban Army in Liaodong needs a large amount of materials to meet the needs of production and life. The only one who can help them may be Feng Xiang.

The fat dragon baby did not disappoint a certain city lord, and after hearing Ah Niudi's explanation, he immediately said, "I will send someone to you immediately." "This is already the second batch of supplies prepared by Feng Xiang for the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army, and fortunately, the fat dragon baby now has a little more money on hand, and it is no longer miserable enough to exchange people for food, otherwise the problem of Fengxiang City is not so easy to solve.

With the wealth of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army as the backing, Fengxiang finally got through this difficulty, and the East China Sea trade system gradually got on the right track!

When he learned that a large amount of money would soon flow into Fengxiang, Sun Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, swept away his previous half-dead appearance, and left happily.

Looking at Sun Liang's distant back, Ah Niu shook his head, "Sun Liang's loyalty to the territory has nothing to say, and he has been diligent and focused in dealing with the internal affairs of the territory...... Maybe I shouldn't have too high expectations for him, after all, he is just a transferred official, and he can never be compared to Chen Gong, and it is quite valuable to have the current table and take care of many affairs in the territory in an orderly manner. ”

Feng Xiang fulfilled the order agreement for the regular finished products, and after the cooperative territory transported the finished products, he quickly got the benefits he deserved, and he was very satisfied. Feng Xiang's credibility among the players of the Lord of the East Sea County is gradually increasing.

The establishment of the East China Sea trade system was directly triggered by the shortage of flowers in flower shops, and this problem was naturally solved immediately after the trade system began to operate. Multiple territories are interested in growing flowers, and growing flowers doesn't require too much technology and doesn't have too many restrictions, any township-level territory can be planted, let alone these city-level territories?
