Chapter 10 Investment Promotion
The priest of Huaibo did not mention the news when he went to deliver the message, and the more the king left the barracks to walk around, but as soon as he did not want to move, the cold wind that had risen gradually became cold, and the howling north wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and the blowing became more and more fierce, and in less than a moment, there was a fine ice the size of a grain of rice falling down on his face.
After a while, snowflakes fell in the sky.
Since Tiangong was so unpretty, Wang Yue had no choice but to press his steps and go back to his room to rest.
After such a cold spell passed overnight, when I came out the next morning, the whole world was covered with a thick layer of white.
The goose feathers in the sky are still falling.
In such bad weather, the slave labor camp in Sheyu New Town and the vast number of people working in Sheyu New Town stopped working and hid in the barracks left by the Huaishang coalition army to rest and roast the fire to keep out the cold.
"Childe, I'm afraid the carriage won't be able to travel normally today. ”
In the morning, after a brief use of the morning food, the warrior Zhang De of the Gongwei Division frowned slightly, standing at the door of the barracks and looking at the heavy snow road that was still falling and stopped at some point.
"It doesn't matter. Wang Yue said lightly: "If there is really something important, you may not necessarily need a carriage to travel." ”
He asked the priest Huai Bo on the side: "Last night, I arranged for you to send a letter to invite the monarch of Tao Guoguo to have a meeting with my son, can you reply to the letter?"
"Back to the Great General. Priest Huaibo bowed his hand slightly: "The news has been transmitted to the priest accompanying Tao Guojun, and he will relay it to Tao Guojun, and the time set by Tao Guojun to reply is after the morning time." ”
"Presumably, it won't be long before the general can meet with him. ”
Wang Yue nodded, with this letter, then he will not make other arrangements for the time being, this meeting with the monarch of Tao Guo is an extremely important matter related to the Snake Yu Kingdom, compared to this, everything else must give way.
About two quarters of an hour later, news from the king of Tao came through the priest Huaibo.
Subsequently, the two Huaibo priests on both sides cast spells at the same time, and the image of Wang Yue was said to be manifested in front of Tao Guojun, and the image of Tao Guojun who seemed to be a little blessed also appeared in front of Wang Yue.
"Monarch. "Snake Yu Gongzi. The two of them saluted separately.
Tao Guoding Tao City, Inner City, Palace Interior.
Tao Guojun looked at Wang Yue's illusion in front of him, and secretly thought to himself what Wang Yue was doing with him this time.
He has been thinking about this question since he received the news last night.
He and Wang Yue seem to have only two relationships.
First, he is one of the kings of the five kingdoms of Huaishang, and Wang Yue is the general of the Huaishang coalition army.
The second is that the two have a cooperative relationship in porcelain.
Thinking about it, if Wang Yue's matter involved the former, there was really no need for such a meeting, according to the past practice, either self-determination or discussion in the noble council.
In this way, Wang Yue came for the latter.
Thinking about it like this, after the ceremony, Tao Guojun said bluntly: "The general has a meeting with the widow today, but it is for the porcelain?"
Without waiting for Wang Yue to reply, he continued: "Even if the son of the snake does not look for a widow in this matter, the widow will also look for the son for a while. ”
"In the past six months, many pottery kilns in my pottery country have been changed to porcelain kilns, and the first two batches of porcelain have been sent to Huaishang and surrounding countries. ”
"According to the old agreement, it should belong to the benefit of the son, and the widow must send someone to Jidi as soon as possible. ”
Wang Yue smiled when he heard this, and said: "The credit of the monarch of Tao Guo, this prince is convinced, and it is not for the benefit of porcelain to ask the monarch for a meeting today, but there is a reluctant request, I want to ask the monarch to do me a small favor." ”
"Help?" Tao Guojun was slightly puzzled, and said: "Childe, let's say it directly, if you can help, the widow will definitely do his best." ”
"Thank you, then. Wang Yue arched his hand, pondered slightly, and said, "Here's the thing. ”
"A few months later, my snake Yu country should be officially restored to Jidi, in addition to this matter, my son also wants to hold an investment conference, and since it is to attract investment, then there are few businessmen to participate, and the more, the greater the strength of the better. ”
"I have heard that the king has some dealings with the current president of the Merchant Guild, so I would like to ask the monarch to invite the president of the Merchant Guild on his behalf, and the heads of the merchant guilds of various countries, as well as the great merchants of the nations who are second only to the leaders. ”
Tao Guojun thought for a moment and said: "The widow already understands the meaning of the son, but if the prince only asks the widow to send the invitation on his behalf, it is very easy, but the widow does not guarantee that all the invitees will come to the meeting. ”
Afraid that Wang Yue would not understand, he explained: "Snake Yu Gongzi, the world's travelers, all they seek is the benefit of the goods. ”
"If it is unprofitable but it is called empty, I am afraid that no businessman is willing to do such a loss-making business, which means that unless Childe's investment association can give enough benefits to attract them, except for a few people, most businessmen may not give Childe this face. ”
But there is no need for the king to worry here. Wang Yue beckoned outside, and said loudly: "Zhang De, go to the carriage of my son and bring the wooden box in the back compartment." ”
After a while, Zhang De held a wooden box and quickly entered the barracks.
"Open. ”
The wooden box was opened, and Wang Yue first took out a large stack of white paper.
Because it was an illusion and could not be touched, Wang Yue picked up the white paper one by one, and ordered someone to bring pen and ink, and wrote freely on the paper to demonstrate, saying: "The price of every five pieces of this white paper is less than the eleventh of a piece of parchment, and it is by no means inferior to the existing parchment paper in terms of writing and preservation, or even more advantageous." ”
"The monarch thinks that if the big businessmen of various countries can get the right to sell this paper in the region of each country at the China Merchants Association, will they come to the meeting?"
"The price of five blank pieces of paper is not as good as the eleventh of a piece of parchment?" Watching Wang Yue's demonstration, Tao Guojun was extremely surprised.
He, the king, is different from the kings of other countries, but he is a rare businessman among the kings, and at a glance, he doesn't even need to think, just by Wang Yuezhi's introduction, he has seen the incomparably broad prospects of this blank paper.
It is definitely far above pottery and porcelain, and the monarch of Tao Country is extremely sure.
Pottery and porcelain are bought by most people in the world, if they are not damaged, they do not need to buy again, and paper must be a large number of consumables, but the more terrible is not here, and in this paper is much cheaper than parchment, which is bound to cause the increasing popularity of paper, so that the cost of paper will be more and more.
After a little thought, Tao Guojun took a breath of cold air.
He Tao country is rich by relying on the pottery industry, and what about the snake country that has the world's exclusive and more promising paper industry?
"Smack!" When he was surprised, Wang Yue took out the second artifact mirror from the box, and in just a moment, Tao Guojun's eyes widened, and then he unconsciously looked into the box that Wang Yue had conjured up with his phantom.
In addition to the paper that had been taken out, there were seven or eight different items inside.
Although I don't know anything yet, even if it is put together with paper, it is obviously similar to the paper-like goods that need to be put on the investment conference.
Only this time, his whole head was a little dizzy, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the various introductions that Wang Yue gave him one by one in the future, and before he knew it, his mouth was dry, and his mind was filled with numbers that were ten times more advantageous than white paper, and difficult to calculate.
It wasn't until Wang Yue finished introducing that the dizziness subsided slightly.
"What does the monarch think?" Wang Yue smiled at Tao Guojun after introducing him.
Tao Guojun nodded violently and said: "With such goods, why worry about the failure of the investment conference? Childe and rest assured, this matter will be exhausted, but I also want to know how to obtain the right of regional agent sales in various countries that Gongzi mentioned before." ”
Wang Yue smiled: "It seems that the monarch also wants to get a piece of the pie in this grand event." ”
Tao Guojun said: "The widow has this intention, Snake Yu Gongzi, my Tao country is based on the pottery industry, and there are large business groups under the control of the office, and the strength is not inferior to the head of some big countries. ”
"This time the Snake Yuguo Investment Conference, the widow does not ask for much, just need to get Huaishang and Yue Guo agent sales. ”
Wang Yue said: "I have cooperation with the monarch, is a trusted friend, this snake Yu country investment conference, as long as the monarch can do his best for me to achieve this matter, this son can now be the master, nearly half of the goods Huaishang and Yue Guo agent sales to the monarch." ”
Tao Guojun said: "What about the other half?"
Wang Yue laughed and said, "Of course, it's handed over to Lord Huaibo." ”
Tao Guo thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is a matter of course." ”
Wang Yue said: "Then the matter is decided." (To be continued.) )
