Chapter 162: Monopoly Materials

Li Shushen originally went out to solve the problem of wooden boat materials, but it turned out that he could solve it by looking for old documents, and it was an unexpected joy to meet Cheng Zhifu.

With the memory of his previous life, he was still relatively familiar with Li Shushen in Suzhou City, and directly took Cheng Zhifu and the old clerk to the best restaurant and chartered an exquisite courtyard.

It can be said that it is a swagger through the market, and as soon as they sit down, the news will immediately reach the ears of many forces.

Governor Cheng didn't know whether Li Shushen was intentional or didn't realize the inappropriateness of this behavior.

But he still praised him, "Xiao Li Gongzi is really bold and courageous."

Aren't you afraid that your every move will be in the eyes of others, and your actions will be constrained in the future? ”

In the elegant small building, Li Shushen skillfully arranged tea and snacks suitable for Cheng Zhifu's preferences, as well as meals, and even took into account the share of the old documents.

Sophisticated, delicate and gentle, hot to the hearts of the people, it can be seen how profound his world and upbringing.

"It doesn't matter, we usually face difficulties and solve problems directly, and there are always some people who need to make progress together and cooperate for a win-win situation."

Who dislikes having a lot of money, as long as there are enough interests, the balance and constraints between the commercial banks can be broken.

"Can the old gentleman inform me of the progress of the materials? Chang'an said that you have a good recommendation, and the student is about to come to you for this matter.

As long as the timber problem is solved, the big ship can be delivered to Cheng on time. ”

The old clerk and the prefect Cheng glanced at each other, and after getting his approval, the old clerk sighed and said, "I also came to discuss with you with my lord because of the timber matter."

Li Gongzi doesn't know if you know, there are actually only six large timber merchants in Suzhou Prefecture, and there are actually only two construction companies that they mainly supply.

These two families are the leaders in the construction of furniture and houses, but when the news of your shipbuilding was released, the two families directly bought all the wood on the grounds of building bridges for flood control. ”

directly let his recommendation fail, a good big ship will miss him, the old clerk lamented his lack of financial luck.

"None of the six families are willing to sell to each other? Don't they need big ships?

As far as I know, these timbers are actually cargo ships heading down the canal from the northeast, right? ”

Cheng Zhifu was surprised, Li Shushen even knew the source of timber merchants? That's pretty impressive.

If it weren't for the flood blocking the way, the upstreamers wouldn't be able to get down, and if it wasn't for the time being too tight, I'm afraid that Li Shushen would be able to pull the wood by himself, right?

This is funny, if the flood waters recede, and the two children have to be boats for a long time, will it be a direct smash to Huanglong, so that Suzhou Mansion has one more timber merchant?

"Businessmen are only for immediate profits, they may feel that there is no other way to eat Xiao Li Gongzi, so they just want to raise the price?

The two construction companies also build ships, and they may not want you to divide the interests of this territory. ”

So how do you crack it? Governor Cheng stroked his beard slowly, waiting for Li Shushen's next words.

Li Shushen knows that this is of course one of the reasons, but, "I heard that one of the two families is backed by the family and the other is backed by the prince, if they are just to suppress the extra shipbuilding industry."

It is completely possible to lend the ship in his hand to the government, but it is reported that no one is willing to come forward so far.

Master Cheng, do you say that they are too unpatriotic, could it be that they have all lost their money? ”

Li Shushen pretended to be puzzled.
