Chapter 119: Li Cun: I Eat Melons (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

For the maritime merchants in Quanzhou Port, this period of time can be said to be a few happy and a few sad.

Although there were Wang family and other sea merchants who had invested in the Tiger Ben Army to take the lead in bidding, the first phase of the duty-free cards were only sold for less than 300,000 yuan each, and only about 20 yuan were sold in total.

That's it, most of them were bought by the Wang family and other sea merchants who had joined the Tiger Army.

Just when many people were about to see the jokes of these people who bought duty-free cards, the Huben Military City Ship Division immediately auctioned off two ships of sea goods.

These two ships of seafood, one ship is ivory, rhino horn, pearls, coral and other "treasures", the other is agarwood, fast incense, sandalwood and other "incense goods", all of which are luxury goods needed by the luxury life of the upper class such as the gentry and the stomach, and they are absolutely the right unimpeded goods.

As a result, the Tiger Benjun City Bosi actually auctioned at a reserve price of almost half the price.

What's even more dumbfounded is that because of the large number of goods and too few people with duty-free licenses, almost all of the first sea auctions were sold at the reserve price.

Let's do the math, okay, this batch of best-selling "treasures" and "incense goods" is less than a half percent off, what is the difference between this and picking up money?

There was a group of small maritime merchants who each had only one or two small boats, and after the goods were confiscated by the Tiger Army, they were all mourned.

Later, there was a small maritime merchant named "Li Daming", found other small maritime merchants, and said to them, we will definitely not be able to get the goods back, the Tiger Ben Army is not a good man and a woman, it is impossible to spit out the fat in the stomach, but I have studied the policy of the Tiger Ben Army, and it can be seen that they are very ambitious in maritime trade, so they should not be untrustworthy, I want to gamble, if I win, not only can I turn over, but I may also make a lot of money, which of you wants to be with me?

Through Li Daming's repeated lobbying, in the end, more than a dozen of them small maritime merchants scraped together enough 300,000 yuan to buy a duty-free card.

Then Li Daming and his gang used this duty-free card worth 1 million to buy a "treasure" worth 2 million.

Next, Li Daming and the others played a trick, that is, they resold this batch of "treasures" to Wang Yuan at a price of eighty percent.

Li Daming and their hands immediately made 1.3 million yuan, not to mention the capital of these people, the profits have come back more than ten times, and they have definitely made a double profit.

After Wang Yuan bought this batch of "treasures", he was directly loaded and sent to Japan.

Moreover, Wang Yuan also released a word that he would buy all the cargo at a discount of eighty percent, and the Wang family would want as much as he wanted.

Everyone is playing maritime trade, and they all understand a simple truth, that is, goods are limited, especially these luxury goods from the South Seas.

If all these luxury goods are monopolized by the Wang family, then the price of these luxury goods is set by the Wang family.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the "treasures" that the Wang family bought from Li Daming and others for 1.6 million yuan may not be able to earn back 16 million yuan of gold and silver, or even more, after arriving in Japan.

Windfall!

Absolute profiteering!

But the question is, the Wang family is related to the governor of the Tiger Ben Army, can his family's ship leave the port, and can other people's ships also leave the port?

There is the bold man who has made a lot of money from the red king's family, and he also took the risk of buying a boatload of ivory.

As a result, the man also left the port directly.

Subsequently, those seafood that no one cared about before were immediately robbed.

- This is no longer goods, but money.

Soon, some smart people concluded that as long as they abide by the various rules and regulations formulated by the Huben Military City, they are very free in Quanzhou Port, even freer than Quanzhou Port controlled by Zhao Song.

Because the Tiger Ben Army eliminated all kinds of miscellaneous taxes, assessments and rules made by the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts, as well as all kinds of scoundrels who had made money in Hong Kong before, they were all disposed of by the Tiger Ben Army.

And the rules of the Tiger Ben Army are clearly pasted on the wall of the Tiger Ben Army City, no addition, no subtraction, as long as you abide by it, you can buy and sell with confidence in this Quanzhou Port.

Soon, the first batch of seafood sold by the Tiger Ben Army was all traded normally.

At this time, the Huben Military City Bo Division released the second batch of duty-free cards.

Because there was a big bargain for the first time, as soon as the duty-free card came out, it was robbed, and the final price once reached 800,000 yuan.

Subsequently, the reserve price of the seafood released by the Tiger Benjun was still half of the market price.

But this time, due to the scramble of many people, the price can not be as low as the first time, but there is still a lot of profit.

After a few times, these maritime merchants were stunned to find that the profit margin was gone, and the key was that the cargo seized by the Tiger Ben Army was sold, but the problem was that they still had a lot of duty-free cards in their hands.

What to do?

At this time, someone suddenly bought the tax-free card at a price of 30%.

Why is there still anyone who accepts this thing?

Someone looked over with curiosity and saw that the person who received the duty-free card was Li Daming, who made a lot of money in the process of the duty-free card transaction.

Li Daming arrogantly said that he would receive as much as others had.

Many people are curious, where did Li Daming get so much money?

You must know that a duty-free card that has not been used at all is 300,000 yuan, and the total amount of duty-free cards circulating in Quanzhou Port is not hundreds of millions.

In this way, if you eat them all, you need at least 30 million yuan.

That's not a small amount of money.

There is a powerful person, and he quickly inquired about it, and it turned out that the gold owner behind Li Daming was Wang Yuan.

Then, some people began to wonder, what did Wang Yuan do with so much money for Li Daming?

In addition to wondering, many people who felt that the duty-free card was useless sold the duty-free card to Li Daming.

Of course, some people think that Wang Yuan is Li Cun's brother-in-law, and he must know any inside information, and Li Daming is shrewd like a ghost, and the two of them must be profitable to receive this tax-free card, so they hold the tax-free card to death.

It didn't take long for the mystery to be revealed.

After this gust of limelight passed, and another fleet came to Quanzhou Port, Li Daming took a group of people who were very enthusiastic to help those maritime merchants run customs duties for free.

In this process, Li Daming collected money from maritime merchants, transferred taxes with tax-free cards, and directly cashed out the original amount.

This one in and one out, Li Daming and Wang Yuan made a lot of money, and they haven't left Quanzhou Port yet.

Now, many people are convinced, saying that it is no wonder that Wang Yuan and Li Daming can make money!

At the same time, these maritime merchants also saw that although the tiger army was barbaric when they fought the world, after they were defeated, they kept their own rules and had a clever policy.

——A duty-free card allowed the Tiger Army to cash out all the goods that the Tiger Army was not easy to sell, and also sold a large amount of tariffs, so there was no need to worry about money in a short time.

In this regard, Li Cun smiled slightly, and learned about the VIP stored value card in later generations.

……

Quanzhou City, the government office.

Li Daming stood in front of Li Cun, who was reading a small note, with some restraint.

After reading the flying pigeon biography from Shezhou, Li Cun burned the secret letter with a fire fold, and said: "Wang Yuanyan, you are very good at business? ”

Li Daming hurriedly replied to the question: "The villains all act according to the rules and regulations of the Tiger Army. ”

Li Cun smiled and said: "There is no need to panic, I will abide by the rules I have set, you can find a way to make a profit, it is your ability, I will not pursue it, let alone peep into your wealth." ”

Hearing Li Cun say this, Li Daming's heart was relieved.

Li Daming immediately complimented Li Cun and said: "Most of the governors really believe in people." ”

Li Cun, who has a lot of opportunities, how could he have time to greet Li Daming, a businessman, so he went straight to the point and said: "I lack a few goods, I don't know if you can buy them for me?" ”

Li Daming's eyes suddenly lit up!

Although Li Daming didn't know the word "red-top businessman", he knew that the most profitable businessman had always been an official businessman, so seeing that he had the opportunity to become an official businessman, Li Daming immediately cheered up and said: "I don't know what the metropolitan governor wants to buy?" ”

Li Cundao: "Sulfur, flame salt, charcoal. ”

Li Daming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Most of the governors want to make ...... Gunpowder? ”

Li Cun asked noncommittally: "Do you know how to make gunpowder?" ”

Li Daming shook his head: "The villain only knows a little about the skin. Then Li Daming took the initiative to say: "The villain has a younger brother, who loves gunpowder very much, and he puts gunpowder in a bamboo tube and puts it into a stone, or it can shoot dozens of steps away." ”

When Li Cun heard this, he was not only a little surprised, but also said secretly: "Wasn't the assault gun invented in the Southern Song Dynasty?" How could someone have made something similar more than a hundred years in advance? ”

Li Cun felt that this brother of Li Daming might be a research-oriented talent, so he said: "Bring him to see me another day, if he is useful to me, I will not hesitate to reward him." ”

Li Daming couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "No! ”

Then, without waiting for Li Cun to ask again, Li Daming took the initiative to say: "This sulfur, flame salt, and charcoal villain can all be obtained." ”

Li Cun said quietly: "What I want is not small, and I am in a hurry. ”

Speaking of this, Li Cun took out some more sulfur and saltpeter that he had made people purify, and then said: "Its quality should be the same as this." ”

After speaking, Li Cun asked people to show the sample to Li Daming.

After Li Daming saw it, he became more confident: "I will not miss the major affairs of the metropolitan governor." ”

Seeing that Li Daming was so confident, Li Cun couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked Li Daming: "Can you tell me clearly, where did you get these two things?" ”

Li Daming felt that he had to take a long-term view and couldn't be careful, so he replied bluntly: "There is an island in the East Ocean, and there is a lot of sulfur. ”

As soon as Li Cun heard it, he knew that what Li Daming was talking about was Iwo Jima, which is not far from Fujian.

Since Li Daming can find Iwo Jima, then the sulfur is really simple.

Li Daming also said: "My family used to pay tribute to the palace for fireworks and firecrackers, there are several nitrate caves on the left and right, and people who sell nitrate and alchemy also go to my house to buy nitrate. ”

Li Cun said secretly: "Yes, this time I hit someone's gun, no wonder people are so confident." ”

At the same time, Li Cun couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky, and the pillow came when he was dozing.

In fact, Li Cun had already guessed that the Song army would make a detour through Jingzhou to enter the Liangzhejiang region.

But Li Cun guessed what to do, western Zhejiang is the territory of that fool in Fangla, and the key is that the fool is still full of people who want to harm me, and he doesn't talk about logic at all.

There was no way, Li Cun could only follow Fang La's own destruction.

However, Li Cun also knew that after Fang La's demise, it would be his turn.

Li Cun still attaches great importance to the combat effectiveness of the Western Army, and feels that now with cold weapons to attack the Western Army, the chances of the Tiger Army winning should not be too great.

But it doesn't matter, because after half a year of preparation, the gunpowder weapons that Li Cun has saved will definitely be enough to fight two or three big battles.

Therefore, although Li Cun attaches great importance to the Western Army, he is not afraid of the Western Army.

After all, the Tiger Ben Army built by Li Cun could never be just a scumbag, not to mention that everyone's weapons at the bottom of the box were not of the same rank at all.

Therefore, when it comes to the decisive battle between the Tiger Army and the Song Army, it may not be known who will kill the deer.

As for now, Fang La has been watching Li Cun's excitement for a long time, and it is Li Cun's turn to find a place in the front row to eat melons......
