Chapter 25, Doujin Business Alliance
Shenzhou, adjacent to Shuzhou, and Shuzhou Wuzhou is also a big business state, but to say that the businessmen's favorite must be Shenzhou.
Unlike Wuzhou and Shuzhou, all business in Shenzhou is controlled by the three major business alliances, and both merchants and exports must be approved by one of the three major business alliances.
At the same time, the disagreement between the three major business alliances is well known in Shenzhou, so in order to attract merchant traffic, the three major business alliances often do some things that are sold at a low price and bought back at a high price, so that the merchants in the Zhou Dynasty are happy.
"My lord, there is Shenzhou City in front, should we find someone to take us directly into the city?" Shen Yueting looked at the long queue outside the city in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, the flow of people in Shenzhou City was actually a full thirty percent more than that of Shuzhou City.
"Don't be noticeable. Lin Zheng shook his head, letting Yan Liang hide in the dark, and he and Shen Yueting walked towards the team.
The long procession into the city was extremely noisy, the sound of various chatters and horses raising their hooves was constant, and the freezing weather added a little more trouble to the entrance examination.
"These three major business alliances are fighting again, and this time they have lowered their taxes so much, which is thirty percent less than Shuzhou City!"
"Yes! This is really a blessed land for our businessmen, usually going to Shuzhou is a small business, coming and going to have a mouthful of money left, coming to this Shenzhou City actually made a lot of money. ”
Seeing that people were constantly admiring the port tax in Shenzhou City, Shen Yueting couldn't help frowning: "Since these three major business alliances have the ability to lower taxes, why are they fighting each other like children?"
"No, the three major business alliances are smart. Lin Zheng looked back at the vast plains around him, and the productivity of Shenzhou was definitely a grade stronger than that of Shuzhou, which was mostly mountainous.
"Higher productivity naturally requires higher spending power, and it is not bad to attract businessmen in this way. ”
Lin Zheng nodded, but unfortunately this method is not suitable for Shuzhou.
"What do you mean?" asked Shen Yueting in surprise.
"These three major business alliances should be a cooperative relationship in private, using low taxes to attract enough merchant traffic to consume various commodities for Shenzhou's survival. Lin Zheng explained to Shen Yueting more bluntly.
"But won't anyone from these three business alliances take the opportunity to make ghosts?" Shen Yueting wondered, this relationship seemed to be prone to mistakes.
"It can only show that the city lord's mansion here is not simple. Lin Zheng took Shen Yueting into the city with a smile.
At the same time, in the mansion of the city lord of Shenzhou City, the three major business alliance leaders sat among them, and the top one was an obese middle-aged man, who was the city lord of Shenzhou City, Gongsun Shang.
"There is more passenger flow in Shenzhou City today, and this time the price reduction is the tax of my port, and the two elder brothers will have to make up for the younger brother in a while." A younger leader of the Shang Alliance looked at the other two with the ledger.
"It's so many! You didn't make a fake account, you want to blackmail us!" said another alliance leader in surprise after taking the account book and looking through it.
"Now our Shenzhou City is the largest city in Wushu Shen, needless to say, the flow of people is not to mention, and these taxes are really normal. What's the matter? Boss Zhang, doesn't he want to make up for me?" The younger alliance leader's sharp words, coupled with the sharp gaze of Gongsun Shang, left a cold sweat on the forehead of the alliance leader.
"What is Boss Zhao saying, I am just surprised, and it should be made up naturally. This person exchanged glances with another alliance leader, and together they wrote a letter in front of Gongsun Shang and asked them to allocate funds.
"Thank you, two brothers. The young alliance leader laughed and stood in a column with the two facing Gongsun Shang.
"Well, you remember, as long as you don't make trouble in secret, we can continue this fortune plan forever, and when the time comes, I will climb up, and you will naturally have someone to support you, understand?" Gongsun Shang's tone was light, but it seemed to contain wireless majesty, which provoked the three of them to nod constantly.
"Let's all go back. ”
"I'll retire. The three of them hurriedly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
At the Nine Gate Inn, Lin Zheng and Shen Yueting walked into it covered in dust.
"My lord, it's better to eat or stay in a hotel. A fellow came to greet him at once.
"Both. Lin Zheng also gently pressed three times on the man's shoulder.
"Come on, go up to the third floor!" the guy shouted, so that the whole restaurant heard it, and immediately other guys took Lin Zheng and the others up to the third floor.
"Your Excellency, the villain has been waiting here for a long time. When he got to the third floor, the guy got down on one knee.
"Did your adults ask you to prepare anything?" Lin Zheng asked while patting the dust off his clothes.
"Yes! All the information has already been prepared, just waiting for the adults to come and see. The man immediately went out to retrieve the information he had recently gathered.
Shen Yueting watched silently from the side, the strength of the pavilion master of his family was much weaker than his own, but this bearing was not comparable to himself.
Shen Yueting secretly remembered Lin Zheng's every move in his heart.
After a while, the guy sent the information forward.
"You go down first, and I'll call you if there's something to do." After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he looked through the information, and the guy also left directly, only Shen Yueting sat next to Lin Zheng, bored.
An hour later, Lin Zheng finally put down the information in his hand, and he already roughly knew what Wang Zixuan was talking about.
"Back it down. Lin Zheng threw a copy of the information to Shen Yueting.
"Oh. Shen Yueting picked up the information and looked at it, which recorded a businessman named Qi Ren, who was also a rich party in Shenzhou City, but for some reason he disappeared mysteriously recently, and this information recorded in detail the names and intimate relationships of every business and relatives in Wang Ren's family recently.
"Good detailed information. Shen Yueting was surprised.
"In the future, we will collect information according to this standard. Lin Zheng said as he walked out of the room.
"Yes. Shen Yueting watched Lin Zheng go out, and took care of the information in his hand.
Not long after, Lin Zheng walked up with the food box, and Shen Yueting smelled the fragrance of the food and remembered that it was already noon.
"Let's eat first, and then memorize it before tomorrow after eating. "Lin Zheng's requirements for Shen Yueting are not strict.
"I've memorized it. Shen Yueting scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
"So fast?" Lin Zheng was surprised, it was only a stick of incense before and after, and Shen Yueting had already memorized it.
"When I was a child, I memorized a lot of things, and I mastered some skills. Shen Yueting scratched his head and sat in front of Lin Zheng.
"Eat. Lin Zheng was silent on his face, he was actually quite satisfied with Shen Yueting in his heart, and Shen Yueting showed his talent in many aspects, which showed that Lin Zheng did not look at the wrong person.
After some small talk, Lin Zheng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Gone. Lin Zheng said.
"Where are you going?" asked Shen Yueting.
"Doujin Business Alliance. ”
Doujin Business Alliance, a merchant alliance that has risen rapidly in Shenzhou City in the past two years and occupies one-third of the ports in Shenzhou City, has an independent industrial chain in Shenzhou and can continue to produce high-quality agricultural products and agricultural tools, which is also the reason for its rapid prosperity.
"More magnificent than the Li Mansion......" Outside the Doujin Merchant Alliance, Shen Yueting looked at this golden brilliance and muttered to himself.
"Don't expose it. Lin Zheng reminded, I don't know why Lin Zheng felt a little bit like life in Shen Yueting just now?
The two walked into the Doujin Business Alliance, and soon someone came to receive Lin Zheng.
"Guest, do you want to buy farm tools or farm seeds?" A man who looked a little honest came to Lin Zheng, and it seemed that as long as Lin Zheng answered, he would do his best to choose the best goods for Lin Zheng.
"I am a businessman from Shuzhou, and I want to bring in some paddy rice. Lin Zheng said lightly.
"Introducing paddy rice?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted that Lin Zheng was a big customer, and he could bring in rice that had never been planted in a state, which was not something that ordinary businessmen could do.
"Please come with me. The man led Lin Zheng and the others to a quiet room on the fifth floor of the Doujin Business Alliance.
"What kind of rice do you want to bring in?" asked the honest man.
"What kind of rice do you have here?" Lin Zheng asked rhetorically.
The man clapped his hands and called the waiter to fetch the rice.
"The rice of our Doujin Business Alliance is roughly divided into three kinds, one is a short maturity period but a slightly lower yield, one is a long maturity period and a high yield, and the other is naturally a short maturity period and high yield, but the price is ......" The honest man smiled and did not continue.
Lin Zheng nodded: "Since I want to introduce it, the higher the quality, the better." ”
"What is the price of this third rice. Lin Zheng asked directly.
"I can give you this number. The honest man gestured.
"Huh. Lin Zheng shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied.
"I'm not going to buy a small amount, do you know what an introduction is?"
The honest man looked at Lin Zheng very seriously, gritted his teeth and compared a number again.
"If it's not sincere, then don't talk about it. Lin Zheng chuckled, this seemingly honest man is actually not honest at all, and if others are talking about his profound acting skills, he may really believe it.
"I can give you this number. The man struck again.
This time, Lin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak, but raised his hand to compare another number.
"This ...... It's beyond my authority......" The honest man was a little embarrassed.
"Then find someone who can take charge of the business, without this number I will not do this business. Lin Zheng shook his head.
"Are you sure you want this amount? If I get someone and you change your tune, I'll have a hard time. The honest man confirmed with Lin Zheng.
"Go to Shuzhou to inquire, my Li Mansion never does deceitful business. Lin Zheng said.
"Shuzhou Li Mansion, are you a good person from Lin Dashan?" the honest man asked in surprise.
"Don't cancel it out of me. Lin Zheng smiled slightly, which was an acknowledgement.
"It turned out to be you, please wait a moment, I'll go and call the alliance leader to take charge. The honest man immediately rushed out to invite the alliance leader in his mouth to come in person, and stayed in Lin Zheng and Shen Yueting to drink tea in the house.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a man pushed the door and walked in, this person was the relatively young leader of the Shang Alliance who was in the City Lord's Mansion before, Zhao Aoyan.
