Before the decree was issued, Ji Wuyin and the Cao Gang's fleet returned to Liaodong County with food filled with the cabin.

One by one, large ships docked at the port wharves of Fangxian and Anshi, and all 500,000 stone of grain were brought ashore and secretly transported to granaries in various places.

Things have to have a beginning and an end, this time Lu Songli also went to Fang County in person to meet Lin Shan, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, this time I really thank you." This is 500,000 taels of silver, please laugh. ”

The 500,000 taels included the freight for the Cao Gang to transport them one million stone of grain and the subsidy she had promised to the Cao Gang before.

These two sums of money add up, in fact, it doesn't cost 500,000 taels, but Lu Songli is willing to give it high. You must know that without the cooperation of the Cao Gang, things in Nanyang would not have gone so smoothly. In the future, they will have a lot of opportunities to use the Cao Gang.

"President Lu is magnificent!" Lin Shan gave her a thumbs up.

Lin Shan and several stewards of the Cao Gang calculated how much money they could earn at most this time.

The Cao Gang used to help grain merchants from all over the country transport grain, charging at normal prices, transporting millions of stone of grain, earning a total of 200,000 taels.

Later, grain merchants from all over the country wanted him to help transport the grain back, and he directly sat on the ground and raised the price, and the asking price doubled, that is, 400,000 taels.

Grain merchants everywhere don't do it, in fact, he can understand. After calculating the accounts, the grain merchants knew that it would be a loss to transport the grain back.

At present, the price of grain in various places is between 160 and 180 wen per bucket, but the cost price of grain obtained by grain merchants in various places should be below 160 wen. They transported the grain to Nanyang, and they had to add the transportation cost, and the price of each bucket was increased by twenty or thirty wen, and the cost reached one hundred and eighty or ninety wen. At that time, the price of grain in Nanyang was raised to 280 wen a bucket, and they felt that there was still a lot to be made by transporting grain over, and it was a big profit.

However, after the grain merchants from all over the country transported the grain, the Jiliao Alliance pulled the price of grain to 120 wen a bucket.

The Cao Gang doubled the freight of the return trip and sold it directly, losing about 60 yuan per bucket. If they toss and turn to transport the grain back, the labor freight and so on add up, and each bucket of grain will lose seventy or eighty yuan, and the risk will be great.

After this account is understood, it is not difficult to understand that grain merchants in various places are reluctant to transport grain back.

If there was no agreement with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, they would have poured out of the nest this time and earned the round-trip freight of grain merchants from all over the country, at most about four or five hundred thousand taels.

After all, to help grain merchants from all over the country transport grain back, it must not be doubled, and people will not do it if they do it, at most add a little to the original price.

After settling the accounts, he and several stewards felt that as long as Lu Songli gave them no less than 300,000 taels of silver, they would earn it.

They privately guessed that Lu Songli would give them up to 300,000 taels. Unexpectedly, it exceeded expectations.

In other words, under Lu Songli's arrangement, they actually earned 700,000 taels this time! It's exciting to think about.

"The follow-up 500,000 stone grain will have to trouble Deputy Gang Leader Lin and the Cao Gang."

"Yes, the 500,000 stone grain in the back is wrapped on my Lin Shan." Lin Shan patted his chest and said.

"Then it's a pleasure to work together?" Lu Songli said with a smile.

"The cooperation is happy, in the future, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will need to use the Cao Gang, President Lu will speak."

"Okay."

Later, after Ji Wuyin learned that Lu Songli had given Lin Shan such a large sum of money, he took the initiative to bear half of the cost.

Ji Wuyin knew very well that this time, they were able to earn so much food, thanks to Lu Songli's strategy.

He felt that there would still be such opportunities in the future, and he also wanted Lu Songli to take him to make a fortune together.

The two sides excused themselves, and Lu Songli saw that he really wanted to give, so he simply asked him to calculate the cost on his side, and after removing the cost, they would share the profits equally.

Ji Wuyin has nothing to do.

Nanyang

Today's Nanyang, under the leadership of the government, local and foreign businessmen in Nanyang actively responded to the call, and large-scale construction and large-scale entertainment activities in Nanyang have been in full swing.

After Zhang Xian left, Nanyang County Shou Weng Yuan and Ji Da Shao Wu Ren discussed and held a banquet to invite rich businessmen from Nanyang and other places.

The local wealthy businessmen were reluctant to come, because of the situation in Nanyang, this banquet was obviously a Hongmen banquet, and the government made it clear that they wanted to find them.

The foreign businessmen were even more unhappy, Nanyang was a sad place for them, which made them ruthlessly planted. The invitation of the Nanyang government was uneasy and kind.

But since they were all invited, they all had to give the government a little face, so they all came.

At the beginning of the banquet, when the invited wealthy businessmen saw Wu Ren and Ji Dashao sitting in the VIP seats, they were all unhappy.

For the local wealthy businessmen, although they did not join the grain merchant chamber of commerce organized by Che Jiuming, they saw that there was an opportunity to make money, so they hoarded some food.

Then the price war between the Jiliao Alliance and the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce was beaten, and they were all affected, and they all lost some money.

For the grain merchants from other places, the Jiliao Alliance was the main culprit for their losses. At this time, when they saw the head of the Ji Liao Alliance, they naturally did not have a good face.

But all of this has changed because of the new things used at the banquet.

They were all conquered by the soaps, soaps, shower gels, shampoos, liquor called liquor, inexpensive snow-glossed paper, and all kinds of neatly written books.

The businessmen who are now invited to stay are all very discerning and capable. They could already imagine how popular it would be if they got these new gadgets back and sold them.

These new gadgets have whetted their appetites.

What did the shopkeeper Wu talk about? I understood what he meant, that is, they didn't make money in the last wave, and this wave gave them opportunities so that they don't know how to cherish them.

They cherish, must cherish!

And then what did the county keeper say? Want to renovate the government and renovate various large buildings? Want to hold temple fairs, dragon boat races, singing and other activities? Give them a lot of support?

That must be supported!

They not only support, but also plan to open a shop in Nanyang to communicate with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce!

Since then, the rich have begun to spend money, Nanyang is building land every day, requisitioning a large number of migrant workers, and the people's livelihood in Nanyang is gradually recovering.

For Tao Xun, Nanyang and his party, he thought he had planted it once. Unexpectedly, there was a big opportunity waiting for him.

Now he has negotiated some cooperation with Liaodong merchants, and he used the 60,000 taels he put in Ji's money to trade with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and buy a batch of liquor.

The two sides cooperate happily, and now their relationship is like honey, and they often eat and drink together.

"No wonder you are doing a good job, it turns out that you have so many new gadgets in Liaodong County." Tao Xun sighed.

"Our Liaodong County is rich in products, you can go and see it if you have the chance. But it's not just because we buy and sell well because there's so much new stuff. ”

"Yes, you did a good job of buying and selling, and because you knew how to disappear money." Tao Xun complained.

Wu Ren laughed, "Eh, don't be like this, we have to look forward." At this point of food loss, if you sell our liquor in Liaodong County, you can earn it back several times and several times. ”

Tao Xun: He can only think like this, does he still have to drill the horns?
