Peerless Pirates

Chapter 324 The so-called money path

Hou Zhonglian's inexplicable enthusiasm made Song Zheng feel a little baffled (One Piece: The Unable One txt download).

It turned out that Wei Tong and Hou Zhonglian were very drunk last night, and they talked a lot when they returned to the Hou Mansion. At one time they scolded Song Zheng for being disrespectful, at another they said that Song Xiaolang was his brother, and at another they said that Qiao Shang and Xu Mingxuan were not good buddies, and they were all messed up anyway.

Hou Wenxian was puzzled. It was not until the two sobered up this morning that Hou Wenxian called them over for questioning. Wei Tong did not dare to hide anything and slowly told them what happened last night. Hou Wenxian was ashamed and angry, so he told them that Song Zheng was not just

Song Jue

His son is so simple. Qiao Zhenchuan once wrote to him personally to explain why Song Zheng disappeared after taking the civil service examination. Although Hou Wenxian didn't know the reason behind it, he knew that he could get Qiao Zhenchuan to write the letter in person, which proved that Song Zheng was no small matter.

Qiao Zhenchuan is one of the six governors of Da Qi, a first-rank official, while Hou Wenxian, as a comfort envoy along the way, is only a second-rank official, much lower than Qiao Zhenchuan. Besides, old man Qiao has always been strong, Hou Wenxian will never dare

Take the military and civil examinations as an example. As the governor, Qiao Zhenchuan has the power to

Li directly conferred the status of a military examiner to someone. To confer the status of a humanities examiner, only the Minister of Rites and Huang Yuandu, Hou Wenxian was not qualified. Of course, the status of a civil and military scholar was only qualified to be directly granted by the emperor in name, and it was not a real one.

A Jinshi is simply called "from the same Jinshi background"!

Although Song Zheng severely frustrated Wei Tong and Hou Zhonglian last night, he also showed his intention to make good friends. Since Song Xiaolang is so good, there is no need for Hou Wenxian to cause more trouble. Speaking of which, although Hou Wenxian does not agree with the domination of Neo-Confucianism in the world,

But now Prime Minister Huang Yuandu strongly supports Neo-Confucianism. As a pure politician, Hou Wenxian is obviously not the kind of person who devotes himself to academic matters, which is different from Wei Buzhou, the father of Wei Tong.

Under Hou Wenxian's scolding, Hou Zhonglian had no choice but to put away his arrogance and prepare to befriend Song Zheng. Just when Song Zheng came to invite him, how could Hou Zhonglian not happily accept the order (Century Allure)!

After coming out of the Hou Mansion, Song Zheng went straight to Lu Chun's small courtyard on Daming Street next to the Wenyuan.

When Song Zheng entered the room, the pot-bellied Lu Dafu was sitting on the chair in the middle, with a sad look on his face. On the left was a guy with a small and meaty head, with a few strands of beard, like a big fat mouse, it was Sun Guozheng.

.It was him that day, drinking with Lu Dafu at a restaurant in Longmen Town, and Song Zheng naturally recognized him.

Sitting on the right is a thin old man, about fifty years old. He is wearing a dark blue robe, which makes him look like a teacher. If Song Zheng hadn't had sharp eyesight, it would be almost impossible to tell that his robe is made of silk.

.

Lu Chun was sitting at the end on the right, looking anxious.

Seeing Song Zheng come in, the four of them stood up.

"My dear nephew, please sit down quickly." Lu Dafu walked a few steps and held Song Zheng's hand, "I haven't seen you for a year. You have grown taller and become a beautiful young man!"

Song Zheng bent slightly and said, "Uncle Lao, I'm thinking about you!"

Lu Dafu laughed and said, "Come, nephew, let me introduce to you. This is Boss Sun Shouzheng. He also saw your feat of saving people in Longmen Town that day."

Sun Shouzheng said with a cracked smile, "Young Master Song is a young hero, a master of both civil and military skills. Sun is like a thunderbolt!"

After Song Zheng bowed his hands and saluted, he said a few words of humility. Lu Dafu pointed to the "teacher" and said, "This one is the boss of Qisongqi."

Qisong smiled slightly and said, "I have heard about Song Gongzi for a long time, and I also admire Mr. Xishan very much. I just wish I didn't have the opportunity to pay him a visit!" Song Jue's nickname is Xishan layman. People who are familiar with him or those with higher grades call him Songxueshi. Most people call him Xishan layman.

Everyone calls him Mr. Xishan to show respect!

This Qisong is gentle and elegant. He must have read a book. He is not like Sun Shouzheng, who deliberately drags out his words and makes people feel awkward (read the full text of "Into Hell" in Game Mode).

These people are all hybrids. They were all lamenting and sighing just now, but now they have different faces, and they are very good at changing their faces.

Song Zheng said a few polite words and sat down next to him.

"My dear nephew, it's urgent right now, and I won't be polite to you anymore. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Having done enough to save his face, Lu Dafu went straight to the topic.

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't panic. Xu Jintang's matter has almost been resolved. After tonight's banquet, there will probably be no problem with General Qiao." At this point, Song Zheng paused deliberately and looked at a few people.

look.

Lu Chun was naturally beaming with joy, while Lu Dafu's eyes widened and he immediately opened his mouth. Sun Shouzheng's eyes rolled around, obviously wondering if Song Zheng was bragging. Qisong's eyelids raised slightly, and then he returned to his seriousness.

demeanor.

Song Zheng continued, "I heard from Brother Lu that Huitong Trading Company is doing well and making a lot of profits. I just want to ask uncle, what are your plans for the future?"

Lu Dafu smiled bitterly and said, "My dear nephew, we are still very busy with things at the moment, so how can we have any plans!"

Song Zheng couldn't help but curse, the profits of this trading house are so amazing, many people must have noticed it. Even if information is not developed in this era, within three to five years, trading houses will rise at all the borders of Daqi.

By that time, if Huitong wants to intervene in these border areas, it will be too late.

In fact, it's no wonder that businessmen belong to a low-level industry. Although they have connections with officials, they are looked down upon by officials. High-level officials even disdain to associate with businessmen, which also prevents Lu Dafu and others from making friends with high-level officials.

Judging from what happened this time, a Qizhou magistrate tortured Lu Dafu to death, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Under such circumstances, it is good that Lu Dafu can do well on Shandong Road. But he has to go out of Shandong Road to Henan Road that intersects with Xixia, Jinghu Road that intersects with Shu, and the southern coast to establish a trading company.

The difficulty is not that great.

There are too many constraints when setting up a trading house in an unfamiliar place (read the full text of "Infinite Night Falls"). But if a trading company really wants to connect the world, this step must be taken! Otherwise, the word "rich can rival the country".

It became a joke.

Song Zheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Uncle Lu, has the trading house trained enough manpower now?"

"The manpower has been trained a bit. According to the method you mentioned last year, detailed rules have been formulated for all aspects of warehouse management, licensing, publishing, and goods collection. Each link has a quota of staff and is controlled at every level. Every link is controlled at all levels.

They have consciously trained a number of people ranging from a dozen to dozens. In total, there are more than 300 people!"

Song Zheng shook his head, "This is not enough, we need to cultivate more. At the very least, these characters need to be able to support the needs of four or five trading houses!"

"What are you doing training so many people? Isn't it a waste of money?" Sun Shouzheng asked in confusion.

"Boss Sun, our vision cannot be limited to just one corner of Shandong Road. We must also establish trading houses on Henan Road, Jinghu Road and Jiangnan coastal ports."

Sun Shouzheng pursed his lips and shook his head, "If you open a trading house in these places, firstly, the people are not familiar with it, and secondly, you will compete with the local chamber of commerce for business, which will be frowned upon. We can only open a trading house on Shandong Road.

It’s because a few of you here

We are originally the presidents of chambers of commerce in their respective industries. We have a solid foundation, which is why we did not cause big trouble. But in other places, those chambers of commerce would definitely unite to boycott us. I think what Mr. Song said is somewhat inappropriate.

!”

According to Sun Shouzheng's thinking, this was not only inappropriate, but absolutely impossible.

Sun Shouzheng's words are not unreasonable. When it comes to chambers of commerce, we have to mention Daqi's management of merchants. In fact, this kind of management is relatively loose and basically focuses on collecting foot taxes. Although there are some chambers of commerce in various places

, but these chambers of commerce are of an industrial nature and are used to mediate between fellow businessmen.

Many chambers of commerce are connected with local officials and wealthy families to make profits. When selling goods, chambers of commerce basically hold a certain amount of price power. Trading houses are an open and fair trading system that is completely determined by market pricing.

It conflicts with the existing chamber of commerce structure (extermination of dust).

No wonder Sun Shouzheng shrank his head, Song Zheng's statement indeed seemed very ambitious.

Song Zheng looked at Qi Song and said with a smile, "What do you think, Boss Qi?"

Qisong pondered for a while and said, "If we can open up local connections and build trading houses in various places, it is not impossible!"

Lu Dafu also nodded and said, "My nephew, I have carefully considered your idea. It is indeed quite difficult. However, in business, there are losses and profits. If you don't give it a try, you won't know if it will work!"

Sun Shouzheng couldn't help but shook his head, still not agreeing with Song Zheng's statement.

"In this case, let me make a statement. Huitong in Longmen Town still insists on cultivating talents. In addition to the people we want to use, the extra personnel expenses will be paid by my uncle, Boss Qi, and me, according to the amount of investment.

For example, if Longmen Town needs 200 people, then we can train another 1,000 people, and the cost of these 1,000 people will be borne by the three of us on a pro-rata basis!"

"Okay, that's it." Lu Dafu waved his hand, "Brother Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Shouzheng smiled apologetically, "Brother Lu, Mr. Song, it's not that I, Sun, don't have the courage, it's just that the risk is too great. So..."

"Brother Sun, don't be embarrassed when talking about business!" Qisong laughed.

Sun Shouzheng also laughed, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Song Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, let's go back and talk about the matter at hand. I would like to break down the equity in our respective hands. At the beginning, we paid a total of ten thousand taels of silver, and every tael of silver was counted as one share, so that's it

Ten thousand shares. Based on our current profit amount and future expectations, the value of each share is almost more than ten taels of silver?"

Everyone nodded in unison. The trading company's profits were astonishing. To say that each share was worth ten taels was an understatement (the latest chapter of Digimon: Dark Moon Den).

"Okay, let's set the price at 10 taels. I want each of us to distribute a thousand shares according to the proportion of our respective investment. We will sell them at a price of 10,000 taels!"

"Why sell it? That won't work!" Sun Shouzheng stood up, his face flushed. This was a matter of poaching.

Song Zheng sneered and said, "Boss Sun, you don't think that I, Song Zheng, can settle the matter in front of me with just my words? With these one thousand shares, we can guarantee that nothing will happen to our trading house!"

Qi Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that Mr. Song wants to sell these one thousand shares to someone who can take charge?"

Song Zheng nodded.

"Who can actually let Mr. Song give 10% of his shares to invest?" Sun Shouzheng snorted, "It can't be Mr. Song who has other ideas!"

Song Zheng was a little annoyed, "Boss Sun, I, Song Zheng, never lie to others. If Boss Sun is not willing, then I am willing to buy the fifteen hundred shares from you at twenty taels per share. Are you willing?"

Twenty taels per share, that is thirty thousand taels of silver, which is a large amount of money. Sun Shouzheng's entire net worth is less than this amount. No wonder this guy's heart was pounding! However, this guy rolled his eyes and started to laugh.

He said, "Mr. Song, I was confused for a moment, don't worry, I'm also anxious!"

Song Zheng sighed secretly. He really wanted to provoke Sun Guozheng to get out the equity in his hands, but unfortunately, this guy was not fooled. At the moment, Song Zheng had no money in his hands, although the second part of King Lu's secret treasure was in Song Zheng's hands.

, but it is difficult to get rid of those things for a while, so Mr. Song is still poor at the moment.

Taking a deep breath, Song Zheng said slowly, "If the three young masters of Licheng and the Lu Shoubei family want to buy these shares, I wonder if Boss Sun is willing?"

"Ah!" Everyone present was moved, and Lu Chun even jumped up from his seat.
