Vol 2 Chapter 1707: Profiteering West Sea Trade

Although the Ottomans are still behind in terms of price, and like Europe these days, magic sticks are rampant, but this does not affect Datang selling goods to them and earning lovely gold.

Three days ago, Zuo Chengsheng was amazed at the domineering government and worried that the business would not be successful.

But this worry soon disappeared. After the negotiation between the two sides was reached, the Ottomans came to buy the goods the next day, because Hu Qinyuan and the diplomats also said that they came here this time, originally wanting to do Trade, which brought a lot of goods.

This made the Ottomans excited, and then sent people over to ask about the price. One by one, they placed orders without hesitation, and robbed Zuo Chengsheng of all kinds of goods in their hands.

In the end, Zuo Chengsheng made a calculation, oh my god, he made a fortune this time!

The profit he earned this time has more than tripled!

When setting the price, he and several other merchants adopted a unified price. At the beginning, he still had some, and then directly set the price to three times the purchase price. This is not good, how could those Ottomans buy it.

After all, the goods they purchased from Curry were already very expensive, because these goods were produced in the hinterland of the empire, especially the eastern provinces, and then transported to Curry by rail.

Shipping is very expensive.

This purchase price is already high, and the price is tripled on this basis. Will these Ottomans buy it?

As a result, the arrogance of the Ottomans exceeded his imagination. When he heard the offer, he didn't even haggle, he just packaged and bought it all.

After Boss Xu's explanation, he realized that even though their prices were very high, the prices were still relatively cheap compared to the Tang products in the Ottoman region, especially the Caucasus region.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty and the Ottomans traded by sea.

Today's shipping is cheap, so the price of the goods transported by the Datang people from the sea to the Ottomans is not as high as it was ten years ago. Although the price is cheaper than buying directly here in Baku, but if it is transported all the way to the Caucasus, the price can be expensive.

Now the Datang people send the goods directly to Baku, and the Ottomans can directly buy these goods in Baku and then sell them in the Caucasus. This price advantage comes.

What's more, he and the others were the first wave of merchants to trade, they ate alone, and they also reached an alliance of price unity, so it was normal for them to obtain such huge profits.

But Boss Xu also said that if he came for the second time, I am afraid it would not be so hugely profitable. After all, there are many people in Curry who want to engage in trade in the West Sea.

There are more people and more goods here, so naturally there will be no such high profits.

But he estimated that even if the profits of the subsequent trades would be less, they would still be able to maintain more than double the profits, and it would be difficult to say after another year and a half.

After all, when everyone sees the opportunity to make a fortune, they will definitely swarm them. If the competition is big, then the profit will be reduced.

A year and a half later, Zuo Chengsheng has no thoughts. He is now overwhelmed by the triple profit. He is thinking about going back and buying goods to Baku to sell. Try to make the most profit in the shortest time.

At this time, Boss Xu was worthy of being a person who had been in Nanyang trade in his early years. He was very flexible. He found Zuo Chengsheng, Boss Chen and two other businessmen who participated in this trade.

It is suggested that everyone set up a trading company, and then directly buy the Shengyuan from the government to engage in the trade from Curi to Baku.

Now the trade situation in the West Sea is very good, and the key is the ship.

Those small sampans are useless for this kind of trade. Although the West Sea is only an inland lake, it is also very large in size. Any wind or wave can kill a boat.

Today's Curry Shipyard is just a small shipyard, and its main task is to produce warships for the navy and army, and official ships for the government, and secondly, to build fishing boats for fishing to obtain more sources of meat.

As for ordinary passenger ships or cargo ships, they have not been taken seriously by the Curry Shipyard for the time being. After all, the Curry Shipyard is a serious local government enterprise.

The shipyard is jointly funded and established by the financial institutions under the Yamen, the governor of Haidong Province, and the financial institutions under the Kuri Prefecture, and is managed by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

These official enterprises often have to undertake political tasks first. The production of warships, official and production ships, and meeting the needs of the military and the government is the primary task. As for the production of ordinary civilian ships that are sold to the outside world, it is generally only when the productivity is rich. will do so.

But now the Curry Shipyard is small, and even if it is at full capacity, it is estimated that it will not be able to meet the military's orders in just a few years.

Because both the navy and the army have the idea of ​​​​forming a large-scale inland fleet, the navy is naturally directly under the West Sea Fleet, and the gunboats with relatively large tonnage are built, while the army wants to form a team that can go deep into the Volga River. A fleet of gunboats in the watershed, providing fire support to Army units.

At the same time, there will also be a large number of orders for military transport ships, which are required to transport materials for the military.

When the production capacity is so tight, it is difficult for ordinary people to order ships, and even if they order, they do not know when they will be delivered.

Now, if the Shengyuan ship is taken down first, it is equivalent to monopolizing most of the commercial transportation power of the West Sea for a period of time. If this is not profitable, they will not believe it.

The five merchants who had just made a fortune in total found several officials on the ship, saying that they wanted to invest in the purchase of Shengyuan.

And it's expensive!

The ownership of this ship is the Kulizhou Yamen, and the current Kulizhou Yamen is also poor and white, with little taxation, and huge investment in infrastructure.

It's all supported by higher-level financial appropriations.

Even the Shengyuan ship, in fact, the state finance has not yet given the money, but pulled it directly from the Curry shipyard, used it first, and slowly repaid it later.

Now, there are merchants who are willing to pay a high price to buy Shengyuan, and together they find that if they sell the ship, they will not only be able to immediately exchange the money from the shipyard to buy the ship, but also half of it.

Such a good deal must be done!

So, when Zuo Chengsheng and the others returned to Curry City, they signed a contract with the official in charge of the state finance at this time, and bought the ship at a high price.

At the same time, the 'Kuri Xihai Trading Company' established by the five of them was also established. Zuo Chengsheng had a small capital and only occupied 15% of the shares. The largest share was the seemingly humble but rich Boss Chen. .

The five of them also work in division of labor.

Boss Xu used to drive a boat in the South and Indian Oceans back then. He was very skilled in sailing. It was a piece of cake for the captain to run the West Sea. As for the sailors, just keep the original sailors.

Zuo Chengsheng, on the other hand, was planning to go to Baku to be stationed and act as the head of the Baku office of their trading company, responsible for the construction of sales channels.

Zuo Chengsheng and the others acted quickly, and everyone consciously chose to keep the lucrative secrets. When others asked, they only said that the business was affected by the war. Although they made some profits, they did not make much money.

As for the 300% profit, that is absolutely impossible to say. Otherwise, he can guarantee that a ship will go to Baku to do business in a few days. Don't think that Curry is really out of boat.

There are still some small sampans, and there are a dozen or so warships, which annoyed those businessmen. They directly spent money on the navy, and it was not impossible to use warships to transport goods.

300% of the huge profits are envied by everyone, including the navy!

After all, everyone is selfish!

After the establishment of the West Sea Trading Company, they immediately purchased the goods and then shipped the goods. In order to purchase the goods quickly, they did not hesitate to spend a high price to directly contact some inland merchants through telegrams, so that they could ship directly and quickly.

They will certainly attract the attention of those who care, but they can't control so much now, they are just rushing for time.

Because the West Sea trade is what many people want to run, but they have not yet had the opportunity to go to sea, so although they know that the profits are lucrative, it is unknown how lucrative they are.

One or two percent of the profit and three times the profit, the gap can be huge.

The five shareholders of Xihai Trading Co. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are just thinking about taking the time to make a few trips and earning the huge profits in the early stage.

After doing a few trades, the sales channels on the Ottomans have almost established a preliminary system, and they will be able to stabilize their first-mover advantage in the future. Even if the competition is large and the profits are low, it is still possible. earn some.

Just seven days after returning to Curry City, Zuo Chengsheng and Boss Xu, no, they should call Manager Zuo and Captain Xu.

They just drove the Shengyuan to leave the small port of Curry again. This time deducted the loading time, and it was not even enough for the Shengyuan to carry out routine maintenance.

But time is pressing, time is money, you can't make it if you don't make it!

The voyage of Shengyuan was naturally not enough. In fact, when Shengyuan sailed again, it immediately aroused speculation and discussion among many people.

Many people have guessed that the West Sea Trading Company must have made a lot of money in the last trade, otherwise it would be impossible to trade in such a hurry again.

Although I don't know how huge the profit is, it has to be half or even more than double the profit no matter what. Otherwise, I can't understand the hasty actions of the West Sea Trading Company.

Some of the brave ones can't take much care of it anymore. They can't find a large steam ship of one or two hundred tons, and can't find a hard sail boat of several tons or ten tons.

Although the West Sea is a bit big, it is very risky to sail with such a small boat, but this West Sea is also an inland lake.

Regardless of whether you can carry it or not, go to sea first!

If you can handle it, you will make a lot of money. If you can't resist it, you will feed the fish. It's a very simple multiple-choice question!
