This time, the Yazhou working group also brought some glassware for sale in their luggage, but the quantity was not large, because the executive committee believed that the quantity sold to the two commercial houses last time should not be sold out so quickly, so it only brought a small amount of emergency. When the shopkeeper heard that there was still a little stock in the place where the Haihan people were staying, he almost jumped to his feet and begged Marik to lead the way to pick up the goods immediately, but after exchanging opinions with Mushabai, he agreed to the shopkeeper's request. Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly ordered to go down, let people go outside to hire three small sedan chairs and a big car, and then couldn't wait to drag the two out of the door with a wry smile.

But before the group arrived at the courtyard of the Ya Office, they met another group of people who were also mighty, and the shopkeeper Li of "Fu Ruifeng" also pulled Qiu Yuan and Feng Anan back. When the two parties looked at each other like this, they naturally knew what was going on.

After greeting each other, the shopkeeper Li of "Fu Ruifeng" first turned to the topic: "If the shopkeeper Zhang is here for glassware, then please go back, these two Haihan friends have promised to hand over the goods brought this time to me" Fu Ruifeng "for sale." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang did not show weakness: "Shopkeeper Li's words are wrong, these two Haihan friends who came to Disdain just now didn't say that." Contempt has already set all the goods this time, I think it is better to ask Shopkeeper Li to avoid it first!"

Marik looked at Qiu Yuan opposite, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although they had made all kinds of preparations in advance, they never expected it to become the current situation. At that moment, he hurriedly persuaded the two shopkeepers who had begun to blush and have thick necks, and said that there were other goods to provide, especially valuable mirrors, and this time they brought more than two hundred faces of different sizes. The two shopkeepers immediately stopped arguing when they heard this, although the price of Haihan's mirror is high, but the profit is correspondingly high, even if it is the smallest two-inch silver mirror, the sales profit is equivalent to selling ten glass glasses or four glass bowls, and any shopkeeper with business vision will never let go of such a commodity.

So the two groups of people poured into the courtyard of the cliff office, but they startled Zhao Xiaoruo, who was sorting out the goods. The two shopkeepers didn't even bother to take a sip of water, so they started business negotiations on the spot in the courtyard patio, and their dedication made everyone feel amazed.

There were 50 bowls, cups, and 50 plates of glassware brought by the working group. After the two shopkeepers argued, in the end, the shopkeeper Li of "Fu Ruifeng" had the upper hand a little and set 30 sets, and the remaining 20 sets were directly rounded by the shopkeeper Zhang of "Anfuxing". The mirror that the two firms value very much, is the more powerful "Fu Ruifeng" occupies the upper hand, in one breath set a hundred two-inch mirrors, five inches of mirrors, eight inches of mirrors each, one foot of square mirrors two, the mirror alone placed an order of more than 7,000 taels of silver in one go, directly bought more than half of the number brought by the working group. "Anfu Hong" does not rely on the mainland market like its opponents, so it naturally does not have such a big deal, and only sets 40 2-inch mirrors and 10 5-inch mirrors, but compared with the first transaction, the orders have increased a lot.

After the two shopkeepers crackled and placed the order, the members of the working group realized that they had made a business of nearly 10,000 taels of silver in just one morning. This is the second day of coming to Yazhou, is this kind of sales speed really no problem?

The shopkeepers of the two commercial houses don't have so many scruples, in their opinion, now they can buy more goods from Haihan people, and they can seize this wave of business opportunities to earn more silver. At that moment, the goods were counted, transported and discharged from the hospital, and then carefully loaded into the cart, and the two shopkeepers called their capable subordinates to transport the goods back to the trading house first, and then returned to the courtyard to discuss the payment with the crossers.

The two shopkeepers said that if they needed cash, they could send it here today, and they would ensure that all the money was paid with good official money, and there was absolutely no need to worry about the quality of the portions. And if you need to exchange the goods, then just make a list, and the goods must be prepared in the shortest possible time, and if the bulk goods need to be transported, they can also be sent directly to their station according to the requirements of the traverser.

It was only at this time that the working group came back to its senses, and dared to feel that it was forcibly bought and sold by indigenous businessmen, but these two firms were the only big customers of the crossing group at present, so they had to endure any temper first. Besides, it's not that people don't give money, they just plan to take the goods first and then settle the account, at least the attitude is still very sincere.

According to the instructions of the Executive Committee, the current commodity trade is still mainly in the form of barter, and a large amount of precious metal imports are not of much practical significance to the crossing group that has not yet established an internal monetary settlement system, but it is better to import a large number of raw materials urgently needed for industrial production. Therefore, on the procurement list taken out by the working group, coke, coal, saltpeter, sulfur and other materials still occupy the majority of imported materials.

For the handover of these materials, the working group decided to let the two commercial banks directly organize ships to send the goods to the Sanya base camp. This is because the sea capacity of the transit is not enough, and the second is to save the time and money spent on transshipment of goods in Yazhou. In the future, large transactions will follow this model, negotiate the transaction content in Yazhou City, and then the commercial bank will go to Shengli Port for delivery of goods with the order signed and sealed by the working group. There is a radio station as a means of communication, which can also effectively ensure that there will be no loopholes in this transaction method.

The import of goods is only part of the needs of the Executive Committee, and another important input item is population. Although Luo Shengdong said that he would try his best to transfer the prisoners from Yazhou to Shengli Port to settle down, the executive committee would not put all the chips on him. After talking about the physical transaction, Marik mentioned the matter of introducing the population: "The two shopkeepers, our Haihan people's residence in Yulin is still in the initial stage, and the labor gap needed is very large, I don't know if the two of you can help us? If we can recruit some craftsmen with craftsmanship, it will be the best." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang took the lead and said: "If you need ordinary labor, then you can spend money in Yazhou City to recruit, if the cost is reasonable, it should not be difficult to organize hundreds of people within ten days." ”

Shopkeeper Li also said: "But if you need a specific craftsman, I'm afraid that Yazhou is very limited, and you need to recruit from Guangzhou." If you don't give up, you are willing to serve on your behalf. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was unwilling to lose the battle, and quickly added: "You can also recruit the craftsmen you need in the capital city of Qiongzhou and Danzhou. ”

Mariko originally just wanted to inquire about the situation, but he didn't expect the two of them to agree so happily, and directly took over the errand, it seems that he also wants to leave a good impression on himself in this external competition. Mariko immediately clasped his fists at the two and saluted: "Then trouble the two of you to bother, whether it is a plasterer, a carpenter, a blacksmith, a boatwright, but any craftsman with skills, regardless of the number of people, I Haihan will accept it, and bring the family with the mouth and the settlement fee as a gift." All expenses incurred in the recruitment process will be borne by us. ”

After sending the two shopkeepers out, Zhang Guang also came back with two carts, loaded with coal, lime and yellow mud and other materials used to make zuò honeycomb coal. So everyone collectively played the role of porters again, and moved all the things in the car into the courtyard.

At this time, Ma Li Ke and Qiu Yuan, who were in poor health, were a little unconvinced, so they could only help to fight. Zhang Guang and two veterans took shovels to mix various materials together in a certain proportion, then poured water from the well, slowly mixed this large pile of paste-like things, and then shoveled into the mold, vigorously patted it, and finally pulled out the honeycomb coal, faded the mold, and stacked pieces of briquettes under the eaves, and then dried them and then used as fuel.

Rao is these three people are outstanding, and they are tired enough after doing this hard work. Zhao Xiaoruo hurriedly brought a few glasses of cold boiled water, and the three of them sat on the patio and drank it in a big gulp.

"I found that coming to Yazhou here is no different from when I was at home, it's the same dry body work!" Feng Anan complained as he rubbed his sore arm.

"It's all work for myself, why complain so much!" Although Mu Shabai was tired enough, his revolutionary will was obviously much stronger than that of young people, and he immediately taught him: "If you are afraid of hardship and tiredness, then don't come to this era!"

"Why don't we make honeycomb coal to sell?" Zhang Guang was afraid that the two would continue to argue, so he quickly changed the topic: "I went to the market today to see, the price of firewood in Yazhou City is not low, if the cost of honeycomb coal is calculated, the cost performance of using honeycomb coal is better than burning firewood." ”

"How much can you make from a piece of honeycomb coal?" asked Marik when he heard something about business.

Zhang Guang scratched his head and said: "There are always two or three pennies......

"Then what are you doing with all this energy!" Marik immediately couldn't listen to it: "The five of us were tired for a long time to make such hundreds of pieces of honeycomb coal, and according to you, we will probably earn one or two taels of silver if we sell them all." Do you know how big the order we negotiated today? More than 9,000 taels of silver, comrade! Time is money, and with this time, we should ponder more ways to make money. ”

Zhang Guang's face turned red, but fortunately, he was already dark-skinned, but he couldn't see it.

Zhao Xiaoruo said beside him: "Words can't be said so absolutely, a small amount of money is not money? ”

"It's not going to work. Qiu Yuan shook his head and retorted: "The technical content of honeycomb coal is too low, and soon there will be imitations on the market." Unless we directly use the automatic coal machine with higher production efficiency, we will not be able to beat the opponent in terms of production cost alone. Do you think the base camp will build us a honeycomb coal machine for this?"

Zhao Xiaoruo didn't squeak anymore, after all, her major is medicine rather than business, and she really doesn't know much about this kind of door-to-door thing. Although he was a little depressed, seeing Zhang Guang smiling kindly at him, Zhao Xiaoruo felt that he was right to help Zhang Guang speak.
