Chapter 610: Another Kind
"Harmony Chamber of Commerce, what is the relationship with Fengxiang City?"
After hearing Mi Zhu's question. Ah Niu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what should come will come after all, and the thing that Fengxiang City is most worried about is still born.
I have been cooperating with the Mi Chamber of Commerce for so long, and the invitation will not come sooner or later, but the invitation came soon after the launch of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, such a "coincidence" seems to be a little weird, which makes Pang Tong, who is sitting in the intelligence center, very uneasy, "The Mi Clan may have noticed the matter of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce!" ”
It is for this reason that the date of Ah Niu's trip to Qishan County has been postponed again and again, otherwise, with the temperament of a certain city lord Aicai, after getting Mi Zhu's invitation, even if his hands and feet are tied, he will jump to Xuzhou.
In recent months, the Harmony Chamber of Commerce has risen like a celestial star, although its roots are still shallow, and both commercial outlets and the types of goods sold are very scarce, but the expression of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce has also attracted the attention of many established chambers of commerce. You must know that although the Heqi Chamber of Commerce has just started, it has several very characteristic commodities: a stone rhubarb crossbow, a two-stone rhubarb crossbow, medicine dumplings, Xiqiang war horses, and more. Furs and other items produced in Xiqiang are also very popular.
The emerging chamber of commerce with these best-selling products has naturally attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people.
Ah Niu took a deep breath, before coming to Qishan County, Ah Niu had already been quite mentally prepared, and he didn't feel surprised. In this regard, the strategy agreed between Pang Tong and Ah Niu is: never admit it, not only because the secret of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce is too important to Feng Xiang, but also because, if he admits this matter in person, the cooperation between Feng Xiang and the Mi clan may really come to an end.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and after Mi learned that Fengxiang had established his own chamber of commerce and handed over most of the representative commodities to his own chamber of commerce, it was inevitable to break off cooperation.
The Heqi Chamber of Commerce has not even fully opened the Xiqiang Market, and it has not even completed a commercial channel connecting with the Qiang world, so it has no ability to replace the role of the Mi Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the main direction of attack of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is not the Central Plains, but the exotic, and the withdrawal of the Mi clan means that the overall strategy of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce will be forced to change.
The current Fengxiang City relies heavily on the Mi Chamber of Commerce.
When Ah Niu was about to deny it, the hope conveyed in Mi Zhu's clear eyes made Ah Niu's heart move and hesitate.
Mi Zhu is a well-known humble gentleman in history, strict with the law, and honest.
The Mi Chamber of Commerce also has this kind of temperament, and in the long-term cooperation, Fengxiang City has a lot of understanding.
"I also hope that the city lord of Ah Niu can answer one of my questions frankly first." Mi Zhu's words are still in my ears.
A certain city lord suddenly made a decision, nodded and smiled bitterly: "What a Mi clan of the East China Sea!" ”
Although there is no positive answer, Ah Niu is equivalent to acquiescing. The Harmony Chamber of Commerce is inextricably linked with Fengxiang City, and this exclamation is, of course, a sigh of emotion that the strength of the Mi Chamber of Commerce is strong, and such a secret matter can be detected. Of course, there is still a lot of room for imagination for Mi Zhu to see how close the relationship between the two is.
Mi Zhu was also laughing, without the slightest resentment expected by Ah Niu, but as if relieved, "What a Niu, what a Fengxiang City!" ”
Ah Niu understood what Mi Zhu meant, due to the conditions for forming a chamber of commerce, at this stage of the game, it is almost unimaginable for players to form a chamber of commerce, whether it is a master businessman or a high-level money bank, it is difficult to achieve, but Fengxiang City did it quietly!
"Do you know how I got in touch with the Qi Chamber of Commerce and Fengxiang City?"
"The rhubarb crossbow is from Fengxiang City and Huoyun City, and the medicine dumplings are from Huoyun City; In addition to vigorously developing the business system in Liangzhou, there is also a Heqi Chamber of Commerce, which only has one office in Qingzhou and Luoyang; The fact that Fengxiang City and Huoyun City wear crotch pants is well known to the world; In addition, the Heqi Chamber of Commerce monopolizes the Luoyang market and other details...... If the Mi clan didn't suspect Fengxiang City's body, it would be really strange. ”
A certain city lord said with a bitter face.
Mi Zhu also laughed, "Yes, but those details are not enough for me to conclude the relationship between you, what really convinced me is the time when Ah Niu asked me to return Yin Meng, and Yin Meng's appearance in the office of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce in Huoyun City." ”
Ah Niu suddenly realized.
This should be considered good news, the secret of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce was revealed by the Mi Clan, and the most important point is that because of Yin Meng, it is impossible for other chambers of commerce to know. As long as the Mi clan can keep this secret, the old background of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce will not be so easy to expose.
Suspicion is suspicion, in this world, many things pay attention to evidence!
Mi Zhu and a certain city lord looked at each other, and Mi Zhu, who had been trained in the mall for a long time, saw at a glance what Ah Niu thought. Zhengrong said: "Ah Niu City Lord told this matter so frankly just now, how could Mi Zizhong have the trust of Ah Niu and make an unrighteous move?" The relationship between Feng Xiang and the Harmony Chamber of Commerce will not leak from the Mi family. ”
Ah Niu is waiting for this sentence, with Mi Zhu's character, he will never deceive each other.
"Thank you, now it's Zizhong's turn to answer my question."
Mi Zhu stood up, paced back and forth in the room twice, and sighed lightly: "Donghai Mi Su values Xinnuo, this attitude is not only reflected in the style of the Chamber of Commerce, but also attaches great importance to the integrity of trading partners. If Ah Niu City Lord had denied it just now, Zi Zhong would not hesitate to suspend his cooperation with Feng Xiang City, but Ah Niu was so frank, which made Zi Zhong very embarrassed. ”
A certain city lord was lucky, and said with a light smile: "In the past, Fengxiang City was goodbye, and Ah Niu didn't dare or forget Zizhong's demeanor for a day, and the reason why he didn't shy away from it was because Ah Niu believed in Zizhong's personality. ”
The emotion on Mi Zhu's face was fleeting, as the next head of the East China Sea Mi Clan, no matter how good his personal senses were to Ah Niu, he couldn't take into account the interests of the family first. Turning around, he looked at Ah Niu and said: "Since Fengxiang City already has a Harmony Chamber of Commerce, and Fengxiang's specialties have also been concentrated in the hands of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, is it necessary for the cooperation between the Mi Clan and Fengxiang to continue?" ”
Ah Niu sat there, motionless, pointed to the chessboard in front of him, and asked without answering: "Zizhong, the chess pieces of Go are only black and white?" ”
Mi Zhu hesitated, although he didn't quite understand what Ah Niu meant, he still responded: "Not bad." ”
"But the color of this board is neither black nor white, but something else: brown."
“……”
"As far as Ah Niu knows, the confrontation on the chessboard is not a win or a loss, another result: a draw, it is still possible." Ah Niu raised his head. Laughed.
Mi Zhu's eyes lit up.
He already understood what Ah Niu meant, and went around in a circle, the point that Ah Niu wanted to express was actually very simple: just as there are not only winners or losers on the chessboard, on the issue of trade cooperation, Feng Xiang can not only choose one from the Heqi Chamber of Commerce and the Mi Chamber of Commerce, and cooperation is also possible!
"As far as I know, the Harmony Chamber of Commerce has taken over the big yellow crossbow in Fengxiang City, as well as the medicine dumplings in Huoyun City. We have already learned that the Wuhuan war horses that Fengxiang resold before were all from the Taran tribe, and now the Taran tribe has taken refuge in Fengxiang City, and the previous war horse trade should be close to the limit that the Taran tribe can sell, in addition to the Fengxiang chair that is not in the market, what other commodities are worth trading in the hands of Ah Niu? ”
Although the Taran tribe is a big tribe, livestock like war horses can not be mass-produced as quickly as a big yellow crossbow, and the trading volume of 500 to 1,000 war horses at a time, no matter how rich and powerful the Talan tribe is, it has already been a little overwhelmed.
Ah Niu had already learned from Qianluo that the Taran tribe had begun to buy and resell the horses from other tribes in the last few war horse transactions. It's not that the Taran tribe can't get more than a thousand war horses now, the breeding cycle of the horse herd is very long, and the tribal warriors also need mounts, Lord Fton would rather buy them from other tribes than joke about the future of the Taran tribe!
--When he learned about these circumstances, Ah Niu realized how generous Zalu was to the five hundred war horses that he had given to Feng Xiang.
Merchants are seeking profits, and the Mi Chamber of Commerce sees that the Heqi Chamber of Commerce has taken away the lucrative rhubarb crossbow and other goods, and thinks that the war horse trade can no longer continue, so it is reasonable to retreat. But Ah Niu came to Qushan County this time, obviously prepared.
"It is indeed not suitable for the Talan tribe to sell war horses to the outside world in a short period of time, but it does not mean that the war horse trade between Fengxiang City and the Mi Chamber of Commerce is unsustainable. On the contrary, if the Mi Chamber of Commerce has enough digestive capacity. The trading volume of Wuhuan high-grade war horses can be increased to at least twice the original, or even more! ”
"What?"
This news obviously surprised Mi Zhu very much.
Ah Niu stood up and said with a smile: "In the battle of Youzhou, Fengxiang gained not only the addition of the Taran tribe, but more importantly, the friendship of dozens of Wuhuan tribes, who have decided to trade with Fengxiang City. Although many of these tribes are not as strong as the Taran tribe, Zizhong must be clear about the market and business opportunities of the more than thirty tribes.
Although the Waki Chamber of Commerce operates key commodities including rhubarb crossbows, it is also for the needs of the Chamber of Commerce to survive, and it always needs something to settle down at the beginning of the business. Moreover, the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is currently focusing on the Qiang market, which will not have much impact on the business of Fengxiang and Mi Chamber of Commerce. Of course, if Zizhong insisted on breaking off his cooperation with Fengxiang, Ah Niu had no choice but to let the Heqi Chamber of Commerce work hard in Qingzhou to take over the trade with the Wuhuan tribe.
Does Zizhong want to see a competitor grow in Qingzhou Exhibition? ”
Mi Zhu sighed. "Of course not!"
Both laughed.
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
A crisis is thus dissipated.
Although Mi Zhu was full of intentions, Ah Niu did not stay in Qishan County for a long time, and there were a lot of things to deal with in the territory, although several deputy city lords were conscientious, a certain city lord was still a little relieved. There are some things that the deputy city lord can solve.
On the way back, Ah Niu had an extra big order, two thousand Wuhuan war horses were obviously a big deal, and the largest transaction in the past was only a thousand war horses.
Mi's increase in trade volume includes some intention to mend the relationship between the two families, but that is not the main reason, the trust formed between Ah Niu and Mi Zhu is quite a bit broken and reborn.
With the official opening of the era of hegemony, the princes everywhere began to prepare their arms for war, and the demand for high-grade Wuhuan war horses increased. The Mi Chamber of Commerce has been selling Wuhuan war horses for a long time, and more and more princes have secretly placed orders to the Mi family, according to Mi Zhu, even the princes of Jiangnan have become Mi's customers, and Mi's business tentacles have also penetrated into some business circles that could not be entered.
Mi Zhu did not tell Ah Niu which specific princes bought the war horse, not because he did not trust Ah Niu, nor was he worried that Fengxiang City would cross the river and tear down the bridge, and it would be contrary to business ethics to leak customer information at will.
Mi Zhu's offer to set up an office in Fengxiang City and his promise to loan 100 civilian merchant ships to Fengxiang free of charge are the best proof of this. Mi's merchant ships are all large merchant ships that pursue the maximum carrying capacity, and with the addition of these merchant ships, the migration time of the Taran tribe will be shortened!
In return, Ah Niu signed an agreement with Mi Zhu: within ten years, Fengxiang's Wuhuan War Horse trade would be exclusively operated by the Mi Chamber of Commerce.
This agreement completely dispelled the misgivings of the Mi family, and after this incident, Feng Xiang and the Mi family became more closely connected.
Before the migration of the Talan tribe is completely over, Feng Xiang's trade with other Wuhuan tribes can only be put on hold temporarily, but Ah Niu does not need to worry about this order of the Mi clan, after the war in Youzhou is over. The three thousand war horses donated by the Wuhuan tribes just came in handy first.
"Fortunately, I didn't go to Qishan County before sending troops to Youzhou, if it weren't for the trust of those Wuhuan tribesmen and agreed to trade cooperation, if you want to impress the Mi clan of the East China Sea, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
