"The second business is to underwrite the three things of the Western Regions: beautiful jade, famous horses, and treasure knives. The businessmen below were in an uproar again, different from the panic that permeated just now, this time it was a surprise and admiration, and some people even thought in their hearts, the adults really looked at me and other henchmen, and got the benefit of underwriting, these three things are stable and profitable transactions. Those who think deeply are thinking, the adults actually exported the two militaristic weapons of famous horses and treasure knives to the Central Plains, not only planning to divide the northwest, and have no ambition to enter the Central Plains.

Hexi is now in the hands of Wu Yingying, which is the main passage for the treasures of the Western Regions to enter the Central Plains, and whoever Wu Yingying wants to give the goods to, that is who's. Except for a few people such as Korean businessmen, most of these businessmen are not wealthy businessmen, but if they get the benefits of this underwriting, I am afraid that within a few years, their net worth will double.

Although they have their own thoughts, this time those who took the initiative to ask for underwriting the goods were enthusiastic, and Wu Yingying smiled: "Everyone is my subordinate, and I will naturally take care of it." Everyone sign up with Luo'an, and Luo'an will also tell you the charter I drafted. "Through the means of underwriting, Wu Yingying can control the downstream market of these three kinds to the greatest extent and grab the greatest benefits from them.

"The third business is very profitable, but also risky, and you can't do it without a lot of capital, if you can't afford this risk, you can quit now. Wu Yingying said slowly. The merchants below had already been stimulated by the huge benefits of underwriting the treasures of the Western Regions, and their eyes were red, and they all wanted to at least listen to the details before making a decision.

Seeing that all the businessmen had eager expressions on their faces, and no one withdrew, Wu Yingying sighed in his heart, sure enough, money can turn cowards into warriors, these people were scared when they heard about selling smuggled salt, and they were just stimulated by the underwriting monopoly, and their courage was pretend again.

"You must know that the garrison of the Anxi Army should have been the four towns of Anxi, but unfortunately, most of the four towns have been reduced to foreign lands, since I have built the town of Anxi, I naturally have to plan to restore the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, therefore, sending troops to crusade against those Manchus who are not subject to the king is like an arrow, and it is urgent to delay. Wu Yingying paused when he said this, looked at the unknown expressions of the merchants below, and continued: "I think about it, this war is also like doing business, there are profits and losses, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, you can also guess that the food and salary of the Anxi army to fight against the barbarians can only be solved by themselves." However, after the four towns of Anxi were laid, there were immediately thousands of miles of grassland, beautiful jade veins, and large and small towns along the way, all of which were inexhaustible sources of wealth. ”

"Moreover, Jiangnan has been cultivating and recuperating in the past few decades, and the businessmen have accumulated a lot of wealth and have nowhere to live. I intend to set up a large merchant gang to specialize in trading in the Western Regions in the future. Speaking of this, Wu Yingying paused, and saw that the merchants below were listening attentively, and no one withdrew, but the merchants of this era had a certain adventurous spirit, and they were not like the rich people who cast gold and silver into more than 100 catties of big ingots in the cellar after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"This merchant gang will be supported by the Wu'an Western Army, and it can be said that goods are trafficked from Liangzhou all the way to Qiuzi, Shule, and even further to Samarkand. I think you are well aware of the huge profits involved. Wu Yingying paused, the merchants had a look of surprise and some confusion on their faces, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, these businessmen who have not engaged in long-distance trafficking, they only know that this will be very profitable, and they really don't know how high the huge profits will be, or the old Sogdian of Kangqu Dagan is here, listening to Wu Yingying's proposal, I am afraid that I will take out all my worth on the spot to support this business.

"Originally, the Silk Road trade was like a sub-station, and our merchants in Middle-earth only transported the goods to Chang'an, as far as Dunhuang, and then the Hu merchants transported the goods from Middle-earth to the nearest commercial cities in the Western Regions, and sold them to the merchants waiting in these cities, and then transported them to the next city. If it goes as far as Persia, there are more than a dozen times in the middle, and there are many links, which not only consumes time, but also cannot guarantee the quality of the goods, and makes the Hu people in the middle earn too much money. If we merchants in China can organize a large merchant gang to directly sell tea, silk, porcelain and other goods to the West, after deducting intermediate freight, the profit of each trip will be at least several times the cost, and after we reduce the price of goods, we can also stimulate the Western countries to buy more of these things, and the shipment volume and profit will continue to rise. Seeing that the merchants in Jiangnan didn't know much about the affairs of the Western Regions, Wu Yingying simply explained in detail.

"The sale of goods is just one big business on the merchant's plate, and the other is the establishment and operation of warehouses, supply points, and the governance of cities. Wu Yingying saw that the merchants showed puzzled expressions again, smiled bitterly in his heart, and patiently explained as if he were a teacher: "Don't hide it from everyone, my Anxi Army is going to pass through the Western Regions, but it is ready to hand over the cities on all trade routes to the chambers of commerce organized by local merchants to implement autonomy, and each chamber of commerce only needs to pay the total amount of the two taxes approved to the Anxi Army every year. However, there are always some Hu malls that are unwilling to cooperate, at this time, our own merchant gang will take over these cities, of course, the autonomy will also be handed over to the merchant gang, and, in addition to the original trade route mall, the Anxi army will establish more caravan supply points and shopping malls in the site, and even open up new trade routes, then these emerging towns, the merchant gang will have priority to get autonomy. ”

"Those towns along the road newly built by the merchant gang will be protected by the Anxi Army first, many of you have run inns, you might as well imagine that in the vast Gobi Desert is almost the only supply point, and what is the profit?" Wu Yingying drew another big cake with temptation, and the expressions on the faces of the merchants had begun to have some longing at this time, and then, Wu Yingying continued to draw more big cakes.

"The third business on the plate of the Shang Gang is to deal with land, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the Anxi Army will sell large pieces of land suitable for reclamation to the Shang Gang, and then the Shang Gang will recruit tenants from the Central Plains to reclaim it. The fourth business is the mining rights of iron mines and the Yuhe River, and the merchants can bid on an equal footing with the local merchants. In addition, in all profitable businesses in the Western Regions and even more in the West, the merchant gang may have the opportunity to participate, and it is not impossible to even gain the right to rule a country. ”

The interests involved in this are too huge, it can not be described as a rich country, if the promises made by Wu Yingying become a reality, the merchant gang will develop into a behemoth that threatens to invade the prince, in front of this almost mirage-like grand prospect, the businessmen have lost their eager expressions just now, one by one, their faces are serious, and a few casual foreheads have been dripping with fine sweat, as if they heard the heartbeat of themselves and others.

Han Shang first broke the silence and asked, "The love of the adults for us is incomprehensible, and Old Han is grateful. However, how does this merchant gang operate, what do you care?" What he asked was also what other merchants thought in their hearts, no matter how huge the benefits given by Wu Yingying were, there was no certain procedure and mechanism to ensure that these merchants who did not have any force in their hands were not allowed to be fish and meat of the Anxi Army in the Western Regions? It is better to be an official and businessman in the Anxi Army system honestly, so why bother with any merchant gang?

Wu Yingying nodded and said with a smile: "This is also the reason why I invited you here." This merchant gang is a big man, not a few big businessmen can afford, so I came up with a way to make up a partnership, you laid down millions of IOUs back then, even if it is the share capital invested by the Wu'an Xijun into the merchant gang, you can go back and measure how many shares to this merchant gang, and the profits obtained each year in the future will be divided according to the proportion of this share. After the shares, you are the shareholders of the business gang, as the saying goes, in the business, the newly established business gang is still short of manpower to operate, the shareholders can elect a fair, good at managing eleven people as the head of the business gang, after the usual business affairs, all have these eleven principals decided, in addition, you can also recommend your subordinates, to join the business gang, I believe that the future in this business gang, far better than their local area in the Jiangnan town to operate a few small profits of the ancestral property. ”
