Chapter 154 Bubbles

It's time for the 4th Daxing Qianzhuang bidding party, and Fan Yuxuan hurriedly stood in the old position in the corner with Yang Xin early in the morning.

However, I was surprised to find that the number of celebrities who came to the party today not only did not increase, but decreased by two floors.

Fan Yuxuan's eyes were sharp, as soon as the guests sat down, they found this problem, you must know the previous three times, that was more than one time, and it became a steady growth trend, and her face was full of displeasure, and she said to the peach blossom on the side: "You send someone to inquire among the guests, why don't the people who come here increase but decrease today?" ”

Peach Blossom promised, sent a few beautiful maidservants to the crowd to ask, and learned the reason, and came over to report in a moment: "Back to the master, the Fan family also chose to hold a bidding party exactly like ours today, and there were as many as fifty in the capital at the same time, and many people went to the Fan family's money bank, so we have fewer guests." ”

Fan Yuxuan was shocked, stood up, and said angrily: "How can this be unreasonable, how can they be so shameless and copy our model!" ”

Yang Xin was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Fan Yongdou, an old fox, to move so quickly, and as soon as he made a move, there were fifty families, and he was afraid that the entire capital would be covered by their money.

At this time, he could only pull Fan Yuxuan down and comforted: "Don't be angry, everyone naturally wants to do a money-making business, and it is reasonable for them to copy us." ”

And the peach blossom on the side said coldly: "Master, we earn the rewards of the guests, all in private, the shopkeeper who borrowed the silver is naturally reluctant to make a noise, who wants people on the street to know that they owe money?" There must be a mole in this matter! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Fan Siqi on the side.

Fan Siqi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, and said: "Second Miss, the slave and maid have been waiting by the side every step of the day these days, this matter is definitely not done by the slave and maid, and the second miss is invited to find out." ”

looked so pitiful that tears were about to fall.

Fan Yuxuan looked at Fan Siqi coldly, her face was full of disbelief, Yang Xin saw that she was pitiful, and hurriedly helped her up, and said to Fan Yuxuan: "Madam, it shouldn't be her, maybe someone from the Fan family has mixed up with our money village, and it is not surprising to inquire about this matter, don't worry about it for now, the bidding is about to start." ”

Fan Siqi glanced at Yang Xin gratefully, with a complicated expression.

Fan Yuxuan's face was gloomy, seeing Yang Xin supporting Fan Siqi, she looked displeased, stretched out her hand and took Yang Xin, and suddenly changed her face again, smiled, and said: "The king is right, let's finish today's business first, and then check slowly." ”

Yang Xin helped her sit down and said, "Good, that's right, it's not worth being angry about such things." ”

Yang Xin didn't believe that it was Fan Siqi who did it, indeed as she said, she hadn't left the sight of the two of them in the past few days, not to mention that Fan Yuxuan asked Fan Siqi to sleep with Yang Xin every day these days, Yang Xin fed her almost every night, didn't believe that she didn't recognize people when she put on pants, turned her head and betrayed herself, he was still confident in his masculinity.

At this time, the bidding meeting has been carried out for a while, as usual, the start is very fast, today's interest, some people up to five points, no one to follow, after all, five cents a month interest is a lot, many businesses do not have such a high profit support, the shopkeeper does not dare to borrow.

Just when everyone thought that the shopkeeper of the Qinglou could take it, suddenly, a person stood up and said: "Shopkeeper, I will give six points, and I, Fan Yuanfu, want to borrow silver to rent a sea ship from your Daxing business, and follow your Daxing caravan to Goryeo for sea trade!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at the man who stood up, only to see that the man was a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume, and everyone felt a little surprised, and no one in the field knew him.

The shopkeeper of the Qinglou who was robbed of the bid was not convinced, stood up, and said: "The shopkeeper, according to the rules of the bidding meeting, the person who wins the bid must be witnessed. ”

When everyone heard it, they all felt reasonable, Lao Tzu didn't know you, why should I give you a witness, there are many people who agree, most of these want to borrow silver, if you can stir up the yellow order, the interest can be reduced, and it is relatively easy to find someone to negotiate by yourself.

Who knew that Uncle Tian waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, this person doesn't need to be guarantor, he rents our Daxing merchant ship, and follows my Daxing caravan, and this time my Daxing court will send 10,000 sailors to protect the interests of the caravan in Goryeo, and it is impossible for him to lose money, so he doesn't need to guaranture!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and there were many discussions, if you want to say that the sea trade makes money, the rich people in the world know it, but in this era, pirates are rampant at sea, and they go to a foreign country and are not familiar with life, not everyone can do it.

In this era, most of the wealthy merchants who did maritime trade were concentrated in Fujian and Guangdong, and they were also operating overseas for generations, which had a foundation, and most of the pirates at sea were people from these two places.

As soon as Uncle Tian said, everyone was interested, and someone asked: "Shopkeeper, you have this policy, why didn't you say it earlier, and tell us all about it, what is going on?" ”

Uncle Tian smiled and said: "Don't hide it from everyone, everyone knows about this in Daxing, we Daxing signed a business agreement with the king of Goryeo, to organize a caravan to go to Goryeo to do business, as long as there is a shopkeeper willing to go with him, the ship can be rented from us Daxing, and each ship needs to pay 1,000 taels of escort fees to Daxing, which is much lower than the protection fee collected by the Zheng family at sea, they charge 3,000 taels per ship."

We have 10,000 troops to escort us, and the king of Goryeo is also protected by 5,000 elite soldiers of my Daxing sailor, so to speak, Goryeo and I Daxing are now brothers' alliances, and when we arrive in Goryeo, we will do the same as going to our own home, doing trade and making money, which is nine out of ten, you say, he borrowed money to do this, what else do you need to protect the old decay? ”

Everyone laughed, there were fifteen thousand troops protecting them, and they were afraid that you would run, so it was no longer a joke.

One of them asked again: "Shopkeeper, how much capital does it cost to rent a boat for you to go to sea, and how much can you probably earn?" ”

Uncle Tian laughed and said: "It's best for you to ask this Mr. Fan, he just came back from Goryeo, and the old man said, you still think I'm bragging." ”

That Fan Yuanfu hurriedly said: "Everyone, I was originally the manager of the Fan family, the last time the Fan family cooperated with Daxing to go to Goryeo to do business, and I managed a sea boat of the Fan family in the next place, this cost, if it is a charter ship to be lower, depending on what kind of goods you sell, generally all kinds of goods are prepared, about to prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver is the best, go to Goryeo, the goods will be sold more than twice as much, in addition to the cost, it is not a problem to earn fifty or sixty thousand taels, it will take a month or two, such a profitable business, in the next time I heard that Daxing Money Village can borrow money, Naturally, I wanted to rent a boat and work alone, follow the Fan family, help others work, and earn a few wages. ”

As soon as everyone heard the joy, they all surrounded them, and the one who rushed to the front was the old driver Shangguan Hong, he reacted quickly, and the first question asked: "Fan shopkeeper, just now you said that the capital needs 100,000 taels, but you grabbed the bid this time, and it was only 10,000 taels, I don't know if the remaining silver has been found?" ”

Fan Yuanfu suddenly frowned, and said: "Don't hide it from you, the steward we came out together this time will not be in the next one, everyone is raising money separately, hoping to make up enough money for a sea ship, fortunately, Daxing Qianzhuang does not need any mortgage, guarantor, our ships are all following Daxing Sailors, they have no reason to be afraid of us running, so they can only come to grab the bid of Daxing Qianzhuang, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Shangguan Hong suddenly smiled, and said: "Brother Fan, don't worry about the silver, the remaining 90,000 taels will be wrapped up on the brother, why don't Brother Fan give up those stewards who came with him, and cooperate with him, you can share more, let's sit down and talk slowly?" ”

Fan Yuanfu was overjoyed, and hurriedly sat down, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect this Shangguan Hong to be so rich, he actually wanted to swallow 90,000 taels by himself and cooperate directly with Fan Yuanfu.

Many of them were moved, but they didn't dare to keep up with Shangguan Hong, and behind the others were Manchu generals, and I heard that there was more than one now.

So it's just a matter of watching and learning.

Fan Yuanfu hurriedly sat down, a beautiful maid served tea to the two, Fan Yuanfu said: "So, that's the best, I just went to Goryeo, let's say that Goryeo, although poor, but the land is in the hands of Haoqiang, they all have a lot of wealth, poor and extravagant, our silk, porcelain, and high-end tea, once transported over, it is like grabbing, regardless of the price, especially recently, the rich land in the south of the Ming River was seized by my Qing Dynasty, just experienced a war, the rich businessmen in Jiangnan have no time to go to sea, Goryeo is out of stock, Don't worry about selling, it's simply a profitable business! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed such a truth, and immediately some people kept asking about the details of doing sea trade with Daxing, and on the same day, three groups of people pooled 300,000 taels of silver to organize three sea ships.

The same drama is staged in all the money houses in Daxing, and ten stores in Daxing have rented out twenty sea boats in one day, and some people have their own channels and want to rent them themselves to see if they can be cheaper, and a total of up to 30 boats are willing to go to sea with Daxing.

Fan Yuxuan looked at everything in front of her in surprise, and said, "Why are these people so bold, Haimao has never done it and dares to make a decision directly?" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "This is very simple, the first is that Haimao really makes money, as everyone knows, and second, it is easy for them to get money now, and they can only sigh if they don't have enough money before, but now, participate in a bidding meeting, the money is coming, anyway, it's someone else's money, take it to risk gambling and make a lot of money, understand?" ”

Fan Yuxuan was stunned and said: "It's not easy to get this money, like that Shangguan Hong, the money is all from the Manchu general, and if you lose the gamble, you will lose your life!" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "You don't know that we Han people are bold, there is an old saying called wealth and danger in the danger!" ”

Fan Yuxuan glanced at him and said: "I don't know what you think, we have rented our ships to them, what do we do with sea trade, you earn this handling fee, escort fee, and rent, it is not as good as the loss of sea trade, it is simply a loss of money!" ”

Yang Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't we give them a little sweetness every time, and then close the net?" Just wait to see the show, rent out the boats, and then we can go home, and leave the matter to Uncle Tian. ”

Fan Yuxuan was dumbfounded when she heard this, grabbed Yang Xin's sleeve and whispered: "You liar, you say that you want to make a lot of money, where is the big money?" Just these handling fees, escort fees, charter fees, and the interest on the silver released before, I am afraid that there are no 300,000 yuan, this is the big money you are talking about? ”

Yang Xin took her hand and walked back, and said with a smile: "Are you stupid, why don't you send someone to prepare their goods to Goryeo, do you wait for them to prepare them themselves?" You can also make a lot of money in the middle. ”

Fan Yuxuan was about to cry, and immediately ordered Peach Blossom to send someone to do it, and said: "Even if you add these, you won't make much money, and you didn't say it earlier, so I was asked to prepare!" ”

Yang Xin smiled awkwardly: "I didn't think of it before, I just thought of it, and it's a lot, it's not a big problem to make a million!" ”

Fan Yuxuan was dumbfounded, one million is indeed a lot, but it is too different from her expectations, and she said with a bitter face: "Which time did you go out and earn more than 20 million, this time one million is not enough for the losers in the family!" ”

……

Fan Yongdou was in the Fan Family Money Village on Qipan Street, watching the room full of guests trading enthusiastically, from time to time someone raised their hands, and the guys enthusiastically went over to assist them in handling the agreement, and then let everyone testify, the process was exactly the same as Daxing Money Village.

"Fan Fu, after doing this last business, the formalities of this store today have received 1,500 taels, right?"

Fan Fu on the side hurriedly said: "Back to the master, exactly, according to this momentum, today our stores in the capital are afraid that they can make a profit of about 50,000 taels, so calculated, they can make a profit of 500,000 taels a month, which is really a huge profit!" ”

Fan Yongdou laughed and said: "This kid is really a genius, such a small change, my Fan family's money village is afraid that the profit of a year will be more than six or seven million taels, and the profit will increase by at least ten times, this is just the capital, pass my order, from tomorrow, my Fan family's money houses all over the country will adopt this new model, and the old decay must squeeze a few imperial merchants to death this time, eight imperial merchants, too many, four is enough!" ”

Fan Fu hurriedly agreed.

Fan Yongdou asked again: "What is the movement of their Daxing Qianzhuang today?" Tell me about it! ”

Fan Fu hurriedly said: "Fan San has already brought back the news, they are all promoting Daxing's maritime trade business today!" ”

"What?"

Fan Yongdou looked stunned in disbelief and asked, "Haimao? What the hell is going on? ”

Fan Fu described the situation of Daxing Qianzhuang today, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Master, maybe you really misunderstand your uncle, they engage in such a model, but the ultimate goal is just to promote Daxing's sea trade. ”

Fan Yongchang, who was on the side, was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "Third brother, are we really wrong to blame them?" ”

But Fan Yongdou didn't dare to be careless at all, squinted his thin eyes, thought about it, and said: "Don't rush to conclusions, I don't think this matter is so simple, if it's just doing sea trade, they don't lack silver at all, why give the benefits to outsiders?" This kid can't understand every move he plays, so he tells people to keep an eye on it, and if there is any movement in Daxing Qianzhuang, come and report it immediately, don't be careless, I Fan Yongdou can have today, I rely on prudence, be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years, do you know? ”

Today's big profit, he wanted to see Daxing Qianzhuang eat deflated, but he didn't expect people to care about this money at all, and directly started sea trade, Fan Yongdou has a feeling of punching on cotton, as if he is playing a one-man show by himself from beginning to end, Daxing Qianzhuang punches in the east and a bar in the west, which seems to be out of order, and interlocking, he really can't understand the mystery of this, he thinks, he can only stare closely, like today, to obtain information as quickly as possible, and then rely on a dominant position to strike later.

And what surprised Fan Yongdou even more was that this time Daxing actually had no follow-up moves, when he recruited enough thirty sea ships, Fan Yuxuan sent Fan Siqi to spread the word, Yang Xin's affairs in the capital have been over, and the husband and wife are ready to return to Daxing tomorrow.

Looking at the maid of the guards who packed up, Fan Yuxuan's face was full of confusion, and asked, "King, are we really just leaving?" ”

Yang Xin laughed and said: "You have asked this question eight hundred times, everything is packed, what else is there to doubt?" ”

Fan Yuxuan was about to cry, she hadn't achieved her goal yet.

Uncle Tian on the side asked: "King Xing, you will leave in a while, I don't know what else to tell the old man?" ”

Yang Xin patted his head and said: "Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing, you tell those who want to do sea trade, do sea trade with us Daxing, you have to follow the rules of Daxing, all transactions about sea trade must be settled with the silver ticket of Daxing Qianzhuang, otherwise, I Daxing will charge an additional two layers of commercial tax!" ”

Uncle Tian was stunned and asked, "King Huixing, what do you mean by settling with the silver ticket of Daxing Qianzhuang?" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile, "That is to say, whether they rent Daxing's boat, pay taxes to Daxing, pay escort fees, hire laborers, or even buy goods to trade, they must use the silver tickets of Daxing Qianzhuang, and the handling fee is also very low. ”

Uncle Tian then understood, and then asked: "King Xing, the others are easy to say, but if they go to buy trade goods by themselves, and the transaction location is not in Daxing, how can we ensure that they use our silver tickets for trading?" ”

"This is very simple, just ask them to come to Weihaiwei Wharf to trade, this kind of transaction is not taxed, I said, it has no impact on them, anyway, they don't all have to bring the goods to Weihaiwei Wharf to gather with our sailors, just trouble the merchants who sell goods to send people to Weihaiwei is, if you want to make money, you have to be not afraid of trouble, understand?"

Yang Xin said unceremoniously.

Uncle Tian was suddenly covered with cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "The little one understands, but our Daxing Money Village in the capital has no business of depositing silver, do they take the silver to Daxing to save it?" ”

Yang Xin laughed and said, "Who said there wasn't?" There is it on the first day of opening, the rules will not change, or the old rules, 10,000 taels of deposits here in the capital, how did you, the first shopkeeper of Daxing Money Village in Beijing, be? ”
