Chapter 407: Business Road Huitong Each has its bottom line
...Zha Lian brought more than 20 sea boats and nearly 400 large trees to unload them. After the work was done, there were not enough places for the warehouses and cargo yards by the Haihe River.
In desperation, after unloading the goods, the boatman asked the boatman to walk the raft to the east and to move it to the wasteland outside the commercial area. The place where the place was placed was cleared out and used as a wooden yard.
Such a large log loading and unloading requires a lot of people, and the loading and unloading of this large wood is different from ordinary goods. It requires some tricks. He also sent a special person to the Muchang and Muxing to invite experts to help. He was not finished until dark and had to do it until the next day.
News of selling big wood from Liaodong to Tianjin Wei also spread in Tianjin Wei. After various wood merchants sent people to help, they also heard the news first.
The wood merchants who heard the news immediately rushed to the cargo yard where the huge wood was placed. After seeing the big wood, their eyes were shining, so they naturally knew how valuable the wood would be.
Sun Shoulian spent three days in Tianjin Wei for a total of three days. On the fourth day, he had already made a fortune. Kuandian has a fort, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Liao Town. The military households in Kuandian would not cost much money to log wood. Maybe they would drive it directly. The big wood went down the river and then pulled it with a sea boat, which didn't cost much. However, the price was extremely high and it was very easy to sell. It was snatched away within about two days, and many people also asked when they would come next time.
After earning so much money, Sun Shoulian's fortune was not over yet. He bought it in Tianjin Wei with the money, filling the ships when he came, and even employed ten more ships.
The goods from Tianjin Wei were transported to Liao Town by sea, which was also a huge profit. Sun Shoulian made another profit, and I don’t know how much he made this time.
However, there are many benefits for Tianjin Wei. The big wood from Liao Town naturally solved the wood shortage of Tianjin Wei. The money earned was used in the trade of Tianjin Wei. The purchase returned. This week, the buyer and seller and Tianjin Wei itself benefited and everyone benefited.
The merchants in Tianjin Wei have a keen sense of smell. Since Sun Shoulian bought a large number of goods and even hired ships, business opportunities have emerged. Many wealthy merchants and adventure speculators have sent people or brought their own ships to Liao Town with Sun Shoulian. After all, Lord Wang and Sun Guerrilla have a good relationship, and Sun Guerrilla is a general of Liao Town, so they can take care of anything.
It was in early August that unknowingly, the commercial system of Tianjin Wei and the Liaodong area outside the pass were connected. Tianjin Wei now gathered the most and richest goods resources in the world, and merchants from north and south gathered together. In addition to buying luxury goods from outside and occasionally selling specialties, Liao Zhen has always been a closed economic circle. The sea of gold and silver earned by military generals at all levels in Liao Town have no effect. Now the two sides are connected, and the goods and gold and silver in Liao Town will pour into Tianjin Wei, making this place more prosperous.
The guerrillas patrolling Liaobei guerrillas Sun Shoulian brought this time to warships stationed in Jinzhou Guards. Needless to say, Sun Shoulian's ability to sell and buy and bargain also surprised Wang Tong.
Wang Tong also inquired about the background of Sun Shoulian. Sun Shoulian was a confidant general of Li Chengliang, the general of Liao Town. He was known as brave, but why did such brave generals behave so well in business.
If Sun Shoulian brought warships to Tianjin to guard, trafficking big wood, buying goods, and discharged from Kuandian to sea, this is not the northern Liao area, and the generals of the Liao Town must have participated in it, but everyone is here to do business, make money and enjoy wealth, who will guard the border and who will fight?
This time, two ships from Liao Town were slightly damaged and damaged, and they needed to be repaired in Tianjin Wei. But the trouble is that Tianjin Wei could not find a suitable ship craftsman. In the end, the boatmen on other ships knew about how to do it. Everyone helped to repair the ship. It was originally a trivial matter, but it happened to be Wang Tong's attention.
For example, today, Jinwei Daily River is on the Shanghai River. I don’t know how many ships there are, but Tianjinwei itself does not have a few ships. Tianjinwei has twenty warships, but they are all ragged. I am afraid that if I go to sea, I will be sunk by the wind and waves. There are even less shipbuilding and repairing ships. At most, there are carpenters who can be used as carpenters in fishing villages.
For a port city, it is indeed a big trouble without its own ships. Without ships, Wang Tong would not even dare to start the construction of Tianjin Weihai Port.
As soon as Sun Shoulian left Tianjin Wei, Wang Tong sent someone to pass on a verbal message to Luhai Commercial Bank. On the ninth day of the eighth month, Luhai Commercial Bank replied. He asked Wang Tong to meet in Waxingcai Inn on August 11th.
Since Xingcai Inn flattered Wang Tong, its business has been booming, and it really fitted with the reputation of Xingcai. Wang Tong came here. Although there was no big fanfare, the inn still left three private rooms, one for Wang Tong to use in the middle, and the other two were vacant to isolate the eyes and ears.
When Wang Tong approached this private room, there was a person waiting in the room, but it was not the "Sanshui King" Shen Fang, but a thin and dark man. This man looked like he was living at sea all year round. His skin was dark and his wrinkles were deep. He looked like he was in his forties, but his eyes were extremely bright. When he looked closely, he looked like he was in his thirties.
The little Shen Jun met the big master. The little master can't walk away from the sea now. What does the big master say the same as the little guy says.
Shen Ting spoke politely and respectfully. Since the Luhai Commercial Bank had already sent a letter, Shen Juan must be Shen Wu's confidant. Wang Tong was not polite, and sat down and said:
"Can you build a ship by your own team dominate the sea?
Shen Chong stood aside
"To be honest, the master said that from Goryeo to Mantaga and then to the natural chasm, the strongest and fastest-running ships are all from Sanshui King. These ships are built by their own. The wealthy merchants in Minxi are willing to pay three times the current price to buy, and the boss will not sell them."
"How about the foreign ship of the Franc?"
Hearing Wang Tong's question, even though the man's face was dark, he could still see that he was red and continued:
"The ship of the ghost is just relying on the many sails and cannons. If we really encounter it, we are not afraid of him. Do the master know that even if the ship of the ghost is going to go to the sea here, we still have to pay for water."
Whether it is Portuguese, Spain or the Netherlands, there are not many warships here, and they all have missions to defend colonies, so there is indeed no advantage at sea.
Wang Tong didn't understand this joint, but the point he asked was not this, and he asked again:
"I want to build a ship. Since you have shipcraftsmen and boatmen here, can you come and help me build a ship? The money, labor and materials are all provided by Tianjin Wei."
Before Wang Tong could finish his words, the Shen Gan's expression of interest just now froze. Wang Tong also stopped, laughed awkwardly twice, took a step back, bowing even more. He whispered:
"What is the master going to do to build a ship?"
"I am naturally building ships to protect Tianjin harbor and transport freighters. Don't you know the pros and cons of Tianjin harboring ships at the moment. If you continue to do this, you will probably delay doing business everywhere."
Hearing Wang Tong's words, Chen Shen bowed lower and said respectfully:
"Why do you have to worry about our family? With our family here, who else dares to touch Tianjin Wei on the sea? With our family here, how can there be enough boats? The master is too worried!"
When Wang Tong heard Chen Jun say this, he was silent. He picked up the wine cup on the table and played with it for a while, and asked with a smile:
"Chen Juan, I have seen you for the first time. Can you be the lord of the Sanshui King?"
Chen Chan smiled when he looked up and replied more respectfully:
"The boss can't come to see the master. Of course, he dare not talk nonsense. If the master doesn't believe it, it's not too late to wait until the boss comes back from the sea to give a reply. However, the little rough man, say something offensive, the master and the young are begging for food at sea. This is the lifeblood of building ships and repairing ships, and it's not allowed to be touched by others. From south to north, there are all this rule."
"Haha, where are the sea-opening ports in Fujian, Xi and Guangdong?"
Wang Tong asked with a smile, Quanzhou, Taizhou and Guangzhou are all ports where the government presided over foreign trade. Naturally, there are also official boatmen there. Unexpectedly, Chen Qin had a sarcastic smile on his face and said disdainfully:
"What good boat can the boatman make there? The government uses the boat, and it's not just for us to buy it."
Hearing this, Wang Tong was silent for a while, sighed, put down the wine cup and said:
"Go back and ask Chen Wu. I never treat the helpers unfairly, tell him this sentence together."
When the young man returned, he would send someone to send an urgent letter to the boss. He would definitely pass the words of the master over there. Please rest assured."
To this extent, there was no need to continue. Wang Tong nodded and Chen Chan said goodbye respectfully.
When the humble family closed the door of the private room, Wang Tong picked up the wine pot on the table, poured himself a glass, and then drank it all, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"If I hadn't led them in by the Haihe River, they would have got so much mercury and oxtail medicine. They took the big head step by step in the Lu Kingdom. Now that Wang Tong's bastard occupied Tianjin, these gangs immediately posted it up. They flattered them at that time, but now they are doing some business but are really heartless."
There was a house on the outskirts of the capital city. A fat figure in the hall was swaying and roaring loudly. The few people next to him were all lowering their heads and dared not speak. Only after a while did one of them whisper:
"San Master, didn't you say we won't do business anymore? You always go like this, but the second master's side."
"If you don't do business, how can you live this life? They use all the money and you don't even have an investment here." If you look for it again, I don't believe it anymore, no one will do the money-making business."
