Chapter 56: A New Cooperation
"What did you just say, say it again?" Chen Hewen wondered if he had heard it wrong.
But the housekeeper spoke again: "There is a group of businessmen who want to come and discuss with you, and they will fund the formation of our Chaozhu City Sailor. ”
"I saw that behind the merchants who came over stood a large trading house, and they paid a lot of taxes every year, so I did not dare to stop people at the door at will, and ordered the maids to welcome them into the inner hall. Do you want to go over and have a look? The butler whispered.
Chen Hewen nodded again and again, of course he wanted to take a look, but he wanted to ask the group of people how those businessmen had come up with this method before they had even told the news of the formation of the water division.
Chen and Wen walked in a hurry, and the group of businessmen didn't wait long, and as soon as the two sides met, they all said their thoughts. After comparing the two, they found that they had come up with the same method, and even the details were similar.
Chen Hewen first indicated that he had listened to the advice of a friend from the capital, and the businessmen led by Jiang Chao also reported Su Hengyu.
As the only person present who had dealt with Su Hengyu, Jiang Chao even said: "That little prince of Gongshi is really an extremely intelligent person, she looks young, but she speaks very methodically. If she hadn't taken the initiative to mention it and encouraged us to come to find you, my lord, I'm afraid we would have been scared by that group of pirates and fled from Chaozhu City in panic. ”
Several merchants nodded when they heard this, their caravan had also been plundered by pirates, so they naturally knew how fierce that group of strangers really was.
Chen Hewen comforted: "The origin of that group of people has been found out in Benzhi County, they are all overseas Japanese people, only because the city lord he followed was defeated and had no place to live, so he took risks and began to make trouble at sea. ”
Chen Hewen still knows about the small island country on the other side of the sea. That side is not as peaceful as their Great Wei, and the forces of all parties are chaotic and complicated. The master of a small city dares to claim to be king. The constant wars between the cities led to so many wanderers wandering around the world and becoming bandits on the sea.
Chen Hewen had always looked down on this small country, and their envoys had to go to Great Wei once a year. The tributes they brought were all inferior goods that they didn't look down upon, but what they brought back were all good things.
These thoughts only flashed quickly in Chen Hewen's mind, and he quickly brought the topic back: "Since you all agree with this matter, then the official will fold the music on the table first and wait for His Majesty's reply." But I think there's a good chance that this will work, and if you want to, you can get ready first. ”
The selection of the sailor is naturally determined by his side, and the merchants need to prepare all kinds of resources and money.
Seeing that Chen and Wen were very cooperative, the merchants also let go of half of their worries, and each went home to prepare the silver taels for the water master.
After sending off this group of businessmen, Chen Hewen hurriedly went back to the backyard and went to the study to find Cui Lanting.
He repeated what he had just said to the merchants in three or two sentences, and finally said: "I really didn't expect that the kid named Gongshi would have such insight and be able to go with you." ”
Cui Lanting, the word flocculent, it is said that it is still the word that His Majesty personally chose for him.
Although Chen Hewen and Cui Lanting have met so many times, in order to show their closeness to him, they cheekily called out other people's words.
Hearing Chen Hewen mention the young man named Gong Shi, Cui Lanting's hand moved slightly. He secretly read a few words of this person's name in his heart, and he couldn't help but be curious about this young man who thought of being with him.
However, Cui Lanting did not show this emotion, he only silently sorted out the file. After returning to Beijing, he planned to report the situation here to the emperor carefully.
On the other side, Jiang Chao, who had received an affirmative answer from Chen Hewen, searched all the way according to the address of the inn left by Su Hengyu before.
As soon as he saw Su Hengyu, he bowed to her.
Su Hengyu hurriedly helped the person up: "Shopkeeper Jiang really tormented me." ”
Jiang Chao waved his hand and said: "This is not a bad deal, thanks to the little boy who has thought of such a good plan for me, now the magistrate has made a decision with us and will submit the fold as soon as possible." And he said that this method is very feasible, and maybe in the near future, we will have our own sailor in Chaozhu City! ”
"Then I'm here to congratulate Shopkeeper Jiang." Su Hengyu also raised a smile and said hello to Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao's face was also full of smiles, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he also told Su Hengyu that Chen Zhixian had a friend from the capital who also gave him the same idea.
He said: "Although the friend of the county magistrate also proposed this method, after all, it was the little boy who thought about it earlier, so that our group of people took the lead. ”
Because it was these businessmen who took the initiative to find them and wanted to share their worries for the county, the county magistrate was very kind to them, and said that after the sailor was completed, he would erect a monument and engrave each business house to show their merits.
For this reason, Jiang Chao and the others were very grateful to Su Hengyu and felt that this young man was rare and smart.
Su Hengyu congratulated him again, and then said, "Since the security problem of your firm has been solved, can I continue to cooperate with your firm in the future?" ”
In the future, Su Hengyu will set up more workshops, and when the time comes, he will not only need to find seeds from outside, but also need to sell the goods to earn more gold and silver.
She saw that the people in the Shouyin Firm were still upright, and there were no mistakes in their actions, and if they cooperated, it should not be bad, so she planned to start meddling in the shipping business from them.
In view of the fact that Su Hengyu is an extremely generous customer, the two transactions with Shouyin Commercial Bank are trustworthy. And it is said that she also cooperated with the Shoujin firm opened by the owner's brother, and now she has done the firm a great favor.
Jiang Chao thought about it for a while, and then agreed to the matter.
The two parties quickly discussed the specific cooperation matters, and Su Hengyu also explained that he would hand over his goods to Shouyin Firm for sale in the future.
When Jiang Chao heard this, he asked curiously: "What does the little boy's family do for a living, and what can be sold?" ”
Su Hengyu took the soap she brought from the capital to Jiang Chao, and asked someone to fetch a basin of water back.
After Jiang Chao used it himself, he sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The little boy actually has such a good thing in his hands, so why worry about the family business!" We have done this business, you can rest assured, when things at sea are settled, we will definitely sell all the good things of the little boy at a high price! ”
