After the bamboo boss left, a secret door in the room suddenly opened, and a sturdy man with dark skin, not tall, only about one or six people, but exuding a fierce aura from top to bottom, walked out of it.

I saw him go to the window and peek in, and after a while, he saw the bamboo boss walking out happily.

Looking back, Yun Li had already sat down in his place again, leisurely looking at the book in his hand.

The Art of War!

"You're a businessman and still read military books?"

The sturdy man was a little surprised.

"The mall is like a battlefield, the same danger, but this is just the smoke of war."

Yun Li replied lightly, and turned another page of the military book in his hand as he spoke.

The sturdy man was stunned, but nodded and accepted the statement.

But then he asked, "Why did you give him three times as much silver?" Although the prince is rich, he is not such a trick as you, according to me, I am afraid that he is willing to give him only one and five times. ”

Yun Li suddenly smiled: "I didn't say anything about making money for the prince, you took the soldiers and took care of it, interesting, interesting......"

After a pause, Yun Licai continued: "Have you ever heard of a thousand dollars buying horse bones? ”

The sturdy man shook his head: "As soon as I become a soldier, I can understand the words, and it is difficult for me for you to let me know what allusions are true." ”

Yun Li smiled, and then explained: "The prince once said that in ancient times, there was a monarch who wanted to buy a thousand miles of horses with a thousand gold, but three years have passed, and no one is willing to sell thousands of horses to him.

Later, a dead horse was brought, but the king gladly bought it for five hundred pounds, and his courtiers did not think it was worth it, because a dead horse was not worth five hundred gold.

But the monarch thought it was worth it, because it was not a dead horse, but an innumerable "living horse."

Sure enough, soon after the news spread, the monarch was given three horses donated by others. ”

"So, you're doing this just to make him the dead horse in your bone?"

The sturdy man said thoughtfully.

Yun Li nodded: "Yes!

After this bamboo boss goes back, he will definitely be tempted to secretly tell his friend that he sold the ship at a high price in my Feiyun Commercial Bank.

And his living sign is our reputation, and after that, others who are interested in selling ships will definitely make us the first target.

Now what we lack is time, and the prince also said, don't be afraid of spending money in the early stage.

It is true to complete the task assigned by the prince as soon as possible. ”

The strong man nodded, and then asked, "Then how long will we wait?" ”

Yun Li put down the military book in his hand, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and smiled slightly: "General Huang, don't worry, let the reputation fly for a while......"

It didn't take long.

Sure enough, just like Yun Li said, after Boss Zhu left, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and couldn't help but inform his friend of the matter.

It's just that he concealed the price of selling three cups, and only said twice as much.

Later, after Feiyun Trading House confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Boss Zhu's ship, Feiyun Trading House gave him all the silver as promised.

This made the eyes of some other maritime merchants who heard about it bright, and all those who wanted to sell their ships were thoughtful.

It didn't take long for Feiyun Trading Company to usher in the first, second, and even third waves of ship sellers.

In these years, maritime merchants are not easy to do.

Many people have been maritime merchants all their lives, but now that they have made enough money, the power of the Japanese at sea is becoming more and more serious, so many small maritime merchants have moved the idea of selling their ships and returning to their hometowns.

It's just that the price of their fleet is too high for the average person to accept.

And when they sell it to those seamen, they don't look down on it.

They have their own shipyards, and there is no need to pay a high price for a ship from us.

The maintenance of the ships was also high, and they kept going to sea and continuing to trade.

Now that there is Feiyun Commercial Bank willing to buy at a high price, there are many people who are tempted.

It's just that I'm skeptical about whether what Feiyun Commercial Bank said is true.

But when they knew that Boss Zhu had received the final payment, they were completely relieved.

So Feiyun Commercial Bank finally got the boat he wanted to buy.

Although all of them were purchased at twice the price, in a very short period of time, Yun Li had enough ships for the prince to need.

There are 70 medium ships, more than 15 small ships, and even eight large ships.

Until Yun Li is listed and no more boats will be purchased.

Now the number of ships belonging to Feiyun Trading House has reached 228!

A total of 1,132,000 silver was spent.

Compared with those sea merchants, it is not too much, and even surpasses.

It must be known that with so many ships, the annual maintenance fee is a lot of silver, and even if those seas take out this silver, they will generally not raise so many ships, and it is generally the norm to maintain about 100 ships.

The fact that Feiyun Trading House bought so many ships at once naturally couldn't be hidden, and it was soon known by those sea merchants.

Although they were angry that those small maritime merchants had sold their ships to Feiyun Trading Company in defiance of their ban, they had already done nothing.

They could only think of other ways to restrict Feiyun Trading Company.

In terms of supply of goods, it is not good, as the top commercial house in China, Feiyun Commercial Bank's channels are much wider than theirs, so they can only do tricks and feet on sailors.

No matter how many boats you have, it's useless if no one drives them!

The various fleets began to pay high prices to recruit those old sailors, but who was more afraid than Qian Feiyun Trading Company, they also paid money.

Seeing the comparison, those maritime merchants suddenly became dishonest and came up with a little off-the-plate trick.

But in terms of external recruitment, how can they compare to Feiyun Firm, which has the secret guard to support in secret.

As soon as they were about to make a move, the news was learned by the secret guards.

Immediately, a large merchant in the southeast was wiped out overnight.

The door is full of chickens and dogs.

And this family is the Chen family in northern Jiangsu who proposed to use the Japanese to destroy the ships of the Feiyun Commercial Company.

Afterwards, the government could not find any clues about this matter, so it could only be hastily handled.

Now everyone knows that Feiyun Trading House is not easy to mess with.

You can play business with me, everyone is limited to the rules, but if you want to play with me, I will also accompany you.

It's up to whoever has the last laugh.

Immediately, the maritime merchants saw that the general trend of Feiyun Commercial Bank had become a success, so they could only admit that Feiyun Commercial Bank was intervening in maritime trade.

However, they also thought that the risk at sea was so great, Feiyun Commercial Bank had just started, and they were not familiar with the trade routes at all, and it would take a long time to figure out the trade routes, and it was completely impossible to compete with them for profits.

Maybe after a long time, they themselves will withdraw from the sea on their own.

They thought it well, but they didn't know that Feiyun Trading House didn't buy these ships for trade, but for limited transportation.

After the ship was delivered, Feiyun Firm specially hired some old sailors.

Especially the single one came to teach General Huang's soldiers how to operate the ship.

Immediately, with experienced veteran sailors as the backbone, it took less than three months to start sailing to Atria by boat.

These old sailors will probably have no chance to return to the Great Song Dynasty for the rest of their lives.
