Because yesterday's investment promotion was very successful, today's arrangements were much easier. In order to continue to promote the expansion of investment promotion results of Xiaolongwan Harbor, after everyone arrived, Zhao Qi called Liu Dong and Ermao and asked them to take a few sales ladies to continue to go to the Harbor Terminal to promote. He and Liu's shopkeeper Chen Ji, Yang Dayuan, Yang Dahu and others began to plan specific engineering projects.

Because the work done in the early stage is quite meticulous and the various measurement data and planning have already been roughly understood, the meeting was completely finalized after an hour.

Of course, after the meeting, basically the rest of the matter has nothing to do with Zhao Qi, and it is mainly the responsibility of Manager Liu. After all, he is from a merchant family, and many things are handled clearly and have smooth lines.

Yang Dayuan, the supervisor of the construction site, and Yang Dahu, the supervisor of the logistics site, became the busiest people. They wanted to build and buy more construction tools, prepare various bamboo, wood, lime, sand and stone, and recruit helpers and craftsmen. The first phase of the project is the core of the entire harbor, and everything, including ten harbors, cannot be careless. This is not only the storefront, but also a key project to start a shot. Therefore, Manager Liu did not dare to be careless. After the meeting, he took a bus to leave the harbor and used family relations to work.

When the construction site started to get busy, some customers who looked at the house came to the construction site one after another. Zhao Qi acted as the gold medal waiter of the sales office. He began to take these customers over and over again to check the construction site, and went to the sales office to introduce the future plans and appearance of the port on the sand table. Chen Ji was still a contract signing officer. Until the afternoon, he actually signed seven or eight more intention contracts. In this way, the industries that sell the first phase of the project have basically sold almost.

"Hahahaha, little brother, I'm here again!"

Just as they saw off a wave of customers, Zhao Qi and Chen Ji were sitting in the sales office and chatting, an old man in brocade clothes laughed and followed two women wearing ribbons, and there were three middle-aged and elderly men with extraordinary clothes.

"It turns out that it is Mr. Yao, and he is in a bad mood!" Zhao Qi and Chen Ji quickly got up again and bowed.

"It's polite and polite. I have already collected the down payment based on the contract. There are also several colleagues who also operate silk who are also very interested. I specially come to Xiaolongwan Harbor with me to take a look!"

"Welcome to you, thank you Mr. Yao and you all for your support. Please take a seat and have a cup of tea first and say it slowly." Zhao Qi's smiled and his back teeth were exposed.

"Hey, don't worry, let's go and see the sand table model mentioned by Mr. Yao first, and I heard it's lifelike..."

"That's right, it's important to do the important thing first!"

The three silk merchants who accompanied him couldn't wait to speak.

"Look, my three companions can't wait. My little brother will take them to see the property first. Maybe they can sign a few more orders today. They are all silk merchants from Huzhou, Suzhou, and they are not short of money!" Yao Sheng waved his hand with a smile.

"Okay, please come here!" Zhao Qi smiled and bowed, taking the four of them to see the sand table picture placed in the center of the sales office.

Next, there was a brief introduction. The three silk merchants who came with Yao Sheng naturally praised this fine-made real estate model. Seeing most of the shops and warehouses marked for sale in the first phase of the project, the three silk merchants were even more excited and regretted it. While complaining about Yao Sheng, they decided to buy a property.

However, they were obviously late, and almost everyone in the shops and warehouses near the dock had already taken action first, so the three of them were also depressed and pulled their beards hard and kept turning around the sand table.

"Little brother, this house is good, why are they labeled as banned?"

The three of them carefully selected for a long time, but they didn't choose a good location. In the end, they all looked at the row of shops in the core area and several warehouses next to each other.

"Let me explain that this is the harbor management center we planned. A bulk goods and futures trading center will be opened here at that time, so this property will not be sold to the public!" Zhao Qi explained.

"What is a bulk goods and futures trading center?" a burly 40-year-old businessman asked curiously.

"It's true, because our Xiaolongwan Port is relatively small and the number of docks is limited. It is impossible to meet the entry and exit and transaction of any variety of goods like Yanggongzhen Port. Therefore, we plan to operate only some fine goods including silk, tea, sugar, porcelain and other fine goods in the future. As much as possible, all industries in Yanggongzhen Port will be attracted to Xiaolongwan for loading and unloading and trading. In this way, Xiaolongwan will be gradually built into a more professional trading port, which will also attract a large number of similar businesses to operate.

In order to facilitate local merchants to better understand the market and conduct transactions, we will communicate with all merchants in advance, count the demand varieties, quantity, price and time of various goods and then list and publicize them in the trading hall. In this way, merchants who come to trade only need to view the statistical data in the trading hall to arrange vehicles, horses, cargo ships and funds in advance, and wait for the goods to arrive to be delivered immediately, saving a lot of time and energy..."

"Hiss~~" The four people, including Yao Sheng, couldn't help but take a breath, and they all saw the shock on their companions' faces.

Futures trading was not without its Song Dynasty, but it was scattered official announcements. In Kaifeng and Lin'an in the past, there were some bustling cities and some markets with information disclosure methods that listed the counting of the quantity and price of goods. However, it was very chaotic and there was no unified rule. Many industry associations would also have their own businesses to regularly convene large commercial banks and merchants in the industry to exchange the quantity and price of goods from various places, so as to balance the supply of goods in various places.

However, this loose information exchange is not fixed and not transparent. Big merchants may know where there are missing goods and where the goods are at a high or low price in recent months. However, if they have to prepare for goods to be shipped and sold after they have been sold, they are all doing their own things. When they gather their people to prepare for the goods to be lucky, they may have already had sufficient supply of goods and prices fell into dogs.

The prosperity of the Song Dynasty was not just a saying. According to Zhao Qi's understanding during this period, he communicated with merchants such as Liu Jiangui, the business model of the Song Dynasty is almost not much different from that of later generations. Various business models such as industry associations, chambers of commerce, dentistry, securities, futures, etc. are now all common business models in later generations. The only thing missing is that the backward communication caused serious lag in information disclosure and communication, which led to a relatively chaotic state.
