Section 2052 Ocean Trade

"The boss can rest assured. I have my own mental preparations when I come here. I have also done some investigations on the business areas of the Eastern Empire. But our business does not conflict with them? We can first put some of our interest products Put it down, and then we will start our basic business. This is different in other empires. In the Western Empire, we first started the business of food and trade, but neither of these two businesses could be carried out here. , We can open our magic arrows and liquor business here first, and the rest will come slowly. As long as some core interests of local tycoons are not involved, they will not go against us. They tasted enough sweetness, they became our collaborators, our other businesses can be opened, and Bai Er also has his own plan. If there is no twos and threes, how dare to go to Liangshan, he also has his own It’s not necessary for Li to worry about these things. Li Cong nodded when he heard his plan.

By the time that Bai Er, they are all mature, Li Cong is also very pleased. Back then, they were just a small family member of his family, and he was also regarded as an unwilling young master. Now he is a whole People from mainland China, no matter what they say or do, there will always be a lot of people who will pay attention to them. At first, I would not have thought of the present life. When Bai Er heard Li Cong’s feelings, he himself Is it the most touching thing, where was she back then?In Jiangning City, he is not the number one person. When outsiders saw him, they would give Cao's noodles, but now.He is already a sixth-level fighter himself. This is something that you can't believe. Back then, a sixth-level fighter was so powerful that he dared to walk sideways on the street. Even some officials would nod and bow their heads when they saw it. I think I have such a day.

It’s very simple to make an ordinary person into a level six fighter. Li Cong’s training camp already has an effective plan. Starting from being an ordinary person, he will give you all kinds of pills, and then Then carry out various physical training.In the end, you can be pushed into the position of a sixth-level fighter.If your own physical fitness is a little better, it is possible for a seventh-level fighter or even an eighth-level fighter. It all depends on your personal quality, if your quality is not good.After spending a lot of money, he can only become a fifth-level fighter.Bai Er's physical fitness is not very good.He could only reach the fifth-level fighter, but Li Cong still spent nearly 5 million silver to push him to the sixth-level fighter, although the two levels were only slightly different.But the real strength gap is quite big, and he is very grateful for this, he knows Li Cong's contribution to him.

In fact, the managers of the Cao’s House of Business are very clear that this Eastern Empire is definitely not a good bone to chew. There is absolutely nothing good to come here. It will definitely make you sad, especially at the beginning, so Li Cong When this matter happened, Bai Er immediately stood up. The other managers didn’t want to stop working with Li Cong, but they didn’t have so much time now and they were all in charge of their own affairs. When a steward is not idle from head to toe, it is impossible to reunite with his family all the year round. This is mainly due to Li Cong. Li Cong arranges himself very leisurely. Others How can you be free?Others can only work desperately for Li Cong, but they have never complained against Li. When they work, they also charge a lot of money and other effects. What they could not do before is now It can be done.

There are a lot of people on the mainland who want to work for the people of Cao’s house, but Li Cong didn’t say so well when he chose the first-level manager, especially since Li never believed this anymore. Outsiders, now waiting for you. What do you want to come in when you are developed?It's nothing more than power and money. Of course, there are also some things like status. These people all started from nothing. Back then, they were just a little wealthy son. They can already follow them. Now they are developed. , I didn't care to give up their seats to others, even though they were not very capable at the beginning?However, after so many years of development, their abilities have reached a very high level. The development of Cao’s Commercial Bank in the past few years can be seen. Their abilities are already very high, even for some large families. The housekeepers may not be much better than them when they come out. This is also the result of Li Cong's trust in them. If they don't trust them, they don't have the stage to show their hands and feet.

The relationship between them is like this. The master must give his men a stage to play their own. If this stage is not given to them, even if he has great things, it will be of no use. They can play their own. The ambition of doing this is also a whole-hearted devotion, not just to do this with the money you earned. Now every first-level manager of Cao’s house is very good, and everyone is responsible for themselves. In the past few years, Li Cong has been able to fight so casually on the front line, and it is directly related to their responsibility. Without their continuous money and soldiers, it is absolutely impossible for Li Cong to want to do things like this. Yes, it is impossible to fight against several empires.

"Master, what are you thinking? But are you also afraid that I won't be able to start the situation in the Eastern Empire? Don't worry about that. After so many years, I dare not be very confident to say that I can definitely start the situation, but it is still not ashamed of the young master There is no problem at all. When Bai Er saw that Li never spoke, he didn't know what Li Cong was thinking? How did he know that Li Cong had thought about everything in the past three years, and he still worried about himself with Li's work If he can’t do this job well, it’s no wonder he thinks that way. The work of the Eastern Empire is really not as good as she does. From the perspective of the Eastern Empire, there is a certain degree of resistance to the price adjustment list number, and their intelligence organization has already It is the news that the Eastern Empire emperor seems to have ordered it down. These business groups from top to bottom will give the Cao Family Commercial Bank to target actions. This is an insurmountable threshold. They want to deal with these merchants. Money is not enough, because people have money, which requires some other skills and actions.

"Of course not. I can still see your ability over the years. If you don’t have this ability, I won’t transfer you. Now Cao’s firm can’t afford to fail a bit, because if we have a little If you fail, thousands of people may not be able to eat, or even lose their lives. You have always done things with confidence. What I am thinking is that without your help over the years, the Cao family It is impossible for the business to develop so fast. How can I be qualified to be side by side with these emperors? They actually look down on me and think I am a businessman. But now you have your help. Even if I am a businessman. So what? They emperors have to come to negotiate with me obediently?" When Li Cong said these words, Bai Er also straightened his waist.Historically, it has been said that businessmen cannot do it, but now we businessmen also have the right to have direct dialogue with the emperor. Is this better than most scholars?

"The young master is right. Now the whole social atmosphere seems to have been turned a little bit by us. In the past, everyone said that the status of scholars, farmers, commerce and industry is the lowest. But after so many years of development, our Cao family firm It’s not soft anymore. The emperor’s desire to deal with us is not that simple. If they dare to deal with us, our people will bite and kill them a piece of meat. They regretted it for a lifetime. They would definitely not take such a stupid behavior. The Eastern Empire had the same goal for us. Bai Er thought about it and said that he did have his own ambitions in the Eastern Empire.

"It’s good to have this idea, but there are still some things I have to tell you. The Eastern Empire is different from the other three empires. These things may have been said many times, but I still want you to remember that before When we were in the other three empires, the government could not say to help us but did not care about our affairs, but in the Eastern Empire, as long as we find a little problem in our hands, these government officials will definitely pick us with a magnifying glass. They will definitely do things that are stubborn in the egg. This must make our people feel calm and calm them all, even if these government people are unfair to us and others, We absolutely can’t tell, because we can develop here is a big opportunity.” Li Cong patted Baier’s shoulder and said. He knew that the Eastern Empire would definitely target him in the future, so he had to give They take a vaccination. If they can't stand it, they may ruin their own major events. That's not good. It's better to be prepared.

"Master, please rest assured. When we came here, we have already learned about these situations. Compared with the other three empires, we understand better that we are in a state of war for several years, and the master is also involved in the grievances of the Linghu family. Now, although the imperial court is no longer encircling and suppressing the Linghu family, both of them are still enemies. What I don’t understand in the future is how the relationship between me and them should get along? Since the young master announced that I will be responsible for all the business. People from the Linghu family are frequently giving me some news. It seems that they are also afraid that I will destroy this relationship when I come. I don’t know how to deal with this relationship in my heart. It’s better to ask Master to teach me. , If you do something different from the young master’s heart, then it will be troublesome." Still ask the questions in your heart, this is the best, especially for such critical issues, you still don’t want to mess around. It's good to figure it out. If Li Cong's major event is delayed, it will be really troublesome.

"I'm also thinking about what you said. In fact, for now, the Linghu family still has an effect on us, but it's not as great as before. The most important thing is that the Linghu family members are related to the Black Magic Pharmacist. , I don’t like teachers of the Black Demon. You know that. They actually have a relationship with these people. Whether it is their main body or their branches, it seems to be contaminated. These people’s hearts are no longer They are pure, but if we abandon them now, they will become a pool of stagnant water in the Eastern Empire. It is very likely that they will be slowly confronted by the imperial court. This is definitely not what we want to see. The imperial court of the Eastern Empire So being so courteous to us, the Linghu family has played a very important role. Without the Linghu family, we would also become rootless water, so we must handle this relationship with them, which is very subtle. The relationship between them.” Li Cong's words can be said to be very thorough in the analysis, and it is really good for these people to think one by one.

Regarding the relationship between the Eastern Empire and the Linghu family, I just want to say that you are not abandoning both parties, but don’t favor either side. When you are a wall grass, many people say that it is impossible to get huge benefits from a wall grass. Yes, he came here because this way is better.When it's over there, he goes over there.In the end, both sides didn’t like him, but I’m saying, if you can do a good job with this wall, then you will be the best candidate for the best mobile phone. This time I will be a wall between them. grass.It can be said that I had done enough before the Linghu family and His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire.Sufficient profits were made from them.However, I don’t ask you to do the same for me in the future development of our Caojia Commercial Bank, as long as we adhere to this principle.Li Cong patted Bai Er's shoulder and said, this can be regarded as Bai Er's general direction. From now on, Bai Er will master the details by himself.

What the young master said is that if this matter is not asked for instructions, it is my own brain, I definitely want to have a good relationship with the Linghu family, and what I think of the court is that I can live a good face. That’s it. Although the court didn’t flatter us this time, it’s not the same as before. The officials sent by the emperor of the Eastern Empire didn’t have the same arrogance as before, but brought us to speak in a negotiating tone. Although they will encounter many difficulties of this kind in the future, I think they will also act in accordance with the current laws of the Eastern Empire. If there is no such restriction, they would not dare to imagine the consequences. The warship of our Cao’s house is still there. When the sea is stopped, they dare not do this. Bai Er thinks of the large number of warships in the sea, and he must not have his own confidence when he speaks. If the Eastern Empire dared to bully himself, I will prepare some for you and see if you are not. Bombed by a shell?

You kid still don’t want those warships in the sea. Those warships are useful for me. I want to develop maritime trade between the four empires. There is no trade on the basis of the four empires, even the other three. The big empire, their annual trade is mainly small and very pitiful. Transporting these things by sea can save a lot of money. Since no one will do such a thing, why not do it?They control the land and we control the sea. When the time comes, we will directly block them all, and then let them see who is the king of the world."This plan of Li Cong really came out in front of his servants for the first time. Bai Er had only felt a vague meaning before, and now I know everything, and I really admire Li Cong.

"When the young master said this, I remembered that this kind of wood was very popular in the Western Empire when the Eastern Empire was on a business trip. Generally speaking, the value of this kind of wood is almost equal to the value of silver after being shipped, but this kind of wood is here. It’s true that people cut it casually. The most important thing is that they can’t be transported. Our people have secretly transported some of these things. The Daisy Empire’s expenses are very powerful, mainly because those big families want to reach furniture. At the time, they were thinking about using wood from other empires. They thought that this kind of thing could increase them a lot of points, so most people are comparing it. If you make one, I will make two. This kind of thing over time Bai Er suddenly thought of a highly profitable business that Cao’s Commercial Bank was doing now, and said casually. This can be regarded as a microcosm of ocean trade, but the profit is definitely every year. Quite a few, almost reaching billions of dollars, if it can be made public, this profit is absolutely terrible.

Speaking of this, I heard about it some time ago. What we have to do is to carry out these transactions in an all-round way. I have allowed our manufacturing plants to speed up the manufacture of merchant ships. At this time, I think it is impossible to cause a war at sea. Yes, several empires have already observed that our navy is very powerful. If they want to go to war with us at sea, they should weigh their own affairs. I guess they don’t have the guts to develop it for us at sea, one by one. It will definitely shrink. This is the best time for us to make money. Some time ago, this war and that war caused our wealth to disappear a lot. Although we can continue to support it, these profitable transactions should still be fast. Point to proceed, especially there are some other valuable items.Although the distance between the two empires of the East and the West is huge, our merchant ships can still go back and forth quickly. It is still possible to go back and forth once within a month. Let them make this money, right?

As soon as he made money, Bai Er clearly saw Li Cong’s eyes glowing, as if those wolves saw meat. When did Li Cong remember?Money is the most important thing in this world. No matter what it is, it is made around money, even if it is the noble Emperor, if there is no money.He wanted to do something but couldn't do it.To do these things, you must prepare enough bullets. Now Li has never carried out large-scale merchant shipbuilding activities on this planet, and it has also begun on the earth. Li Cong wants to form a huge ocean-going fleet.Let the four empires begin to connect.This first pot of gold is always very expensive.Of course, this money must be transferred by oneself, if they want to follow suit in the future.Just let them follow, but can your boat hold more than mine?Can it run faster than mine, and will the price be lower than mine?That is absolutely impossible.

What Li Cong has to do is long-distance transportation. He is not very concerned about short- and medium-distance transportation. These things are too cumbersome, and there are many places to manage. The second is to create such a big one. The ability to travel long distances on a boat, but take some short and medium-range distances, is also a huge waste for myself, and it is also right for me to eat meat by myself and others to drink soup. I'm gone, of course, if you don’t know how to come down and grab a deal with us, you can only kill you from the price war. If you have something to fight for me, I will stay with you to the end. If you don’t have one Just step up your tail and get out. Li has always been like this since he was in business. It doesn't matter who is behind you and how powerful it is, but as long as you involve my root interests, I will definitely not let go. If you passed you, let's fight to the end, don't we?

In fact, Li Cong started to make arrangements for this ocean-going trade very early. Although he does not have a lot of merchant ships, at present or by the empire, it is necessary to see how the local sales and prices can be adjusted. It’s the market survey mentioned on the earth. So far, there are about more than a thousand kinds of goods that have been subjected to this kind of market survey. It’s OK or not. Looking at their ships, the ones with the smallest thousand-fold profit can have dozens of them. Times, this kind of thing hasn’t been thought of by others, but they can do this kind of business, of course it’s not possible. You can see by looking at their ships. If you go out and root, you won’t reach the destination. Even your own life is possible. It was to come back to do something like this. There was a merchant fleet in the Eastern Empire that was very powerful.

Now this merchant fleet has been maimed by Li Congji, most of the ships have gone to the bottom of the sea, and the Eastern Empire emperor did not have the idea of ​​launching the four-nation trade. He can just keep his own advantage. Once the four-nation trade war begins, people from the other three empires may come in in large numbers, allowing them to see how strong the Dong empire is. They will return to the sea when they go back. At that time, they will suffer. If they mine and develop all the islands in the surrounding seas, they will also increase a lot of taxes and population at that time. How will the advantages of the Eastern Empire exist? The Eastern Empire emperor is very afraid. He wanted to guarantee his own advantages and would not let the other three empires learn to give it to him. For this reason, the memorial of overseas trade had already gone up and was thrown out immediately. This is simply a subjugation of the country. Of course, the Emperor. That's what I think.

Li Cong also saw the memorial thrown out by the Eastern Empire emperor. It was made by a very clever person. Now Li Cong is going to visit this person. He is the former minister of the Eastern Empire. He was there. The seat is very well done, and I can see some clues from the transportation of Cao’s family firm. I wanted to make my own account to shine, but I didn’t expect to be dismissed by the Emperor directly at home, and it happened to him. The hometown of Pluto is the fiefdom of Pluto. When King Ning came back, he had a good talk with this guy. He also believed that this guy’s memorial was very good, but it was a pity that he didn’t have the intention to do this at that time. Yes, just casually perfunct this guy with a few words. Originally, he also thought that King Ning started up at sea, and King Ning would do this well with himself. I didn’t expect King Ning to just say a few words. No more text.This really makes him feel uncomfortable, or just leave it alone, just sit idle at home, anyway, he doesn't lack food or drink.

Li Cong must have come to investigate this person before. Otherwise, how could he have come to his house? He knew that this person's revenge was very lofty, and if not, he would not stay after he was dismissed. If you don’t go out at home anymore, if it is those other people, they will definitely give your ideals to others, and then you will have to spend money everywhere to ask others to let you go out and become an official again.But he didn't have those ideas.Staying in your own home honestly, slowly writing and drawing, this is not what a middle-aged person should do, he should be in his prime at the moment.Should give full play to their strengths.Unexpectedly, now it is already doing something older people should do.When Li Cong went in, he saw this guy punching a set of punches in the house, training his body, this was no different from the old people outside.It is a waste of resources.

Li Cong knew that it was not good for him to make such abrupt visits, so he found a friend of this guy. His friend had something to do with Prince Ning’s mansion. He knew that now that King Lianning had run away, he certainly didn’t have any. I have my position. Now I heard that Li Cong could ask him to help, he quickly came here. Seeing this guy was punching, he quickly went over and said, "Pharaoh, your good day is here, look at this guy Who is it? This is the big boss of Cao's House of Business. Oh, wrong. Now in our empire, he is already a Duke. It is very important for him to come to you, that is, what kind of shipping account you got at the beginning. The matter is now a treasure, Sir Sir Alex has taken a fancy to it. You should tell Sir Sir Cao a good chat about him." When Mr. Wang didn’t know what to do, his friend pulled him aside. Go, after handing in the matter, let him know what is going on?

Not to mention this, it's okay, one thing that happened back then was a fire in his stomach, and there was no way to send it out everywhere, what the hell was going on?Lao Tzu was a good empire back then. Who knew that you dismissed Lao Tzu from office without saying a word. He hasn't figured out what is going on with this Cao family firm?Because this place he lives in is a small city, there is nothing to let her know about those actions outside. Everyone in her family also knows that he has been unhappy recently, and things that do not affect her life outside are also Just don’t tell him. Now it is the first time he knows that the land he lives in has changed. King Ning has already returned to the capital in a desperate manner. It is now the Cao family firm that is in charge. He didn't expect that in the land of the dignified Eastern Empire, someone else or a businessman was in charge. When he looked at Li Cong, he also had very disdainful eyes.

The contemptuous look in his own friend’s eyes is even more serious. How do you say that his friend is also a scholar of scholars, and now he was run errands by a businessman, and he looked like a slave like a slave, what a Duke? Haven't heard of this before?Although there are many dukes in the Eastern Empire, there is no such young person in front of him. This is clearly lying and fooling himself. For such people, the old prince does not want to talk to them at all, so he will call his butler soon. She saw off the guests, but when she waved, Li Cong walked in front of him. Although Lao Wang was no longer an official in the court, he still had to be polite, and could not blast them out in front of them. This is true in my own family, and the young man in front of me can be regarded as dignified. I really want to hear what he says?

"Hi, Lord Wang, I am Cao Ke from the Cao family firm. I took the liberty to disturb you. I'm really sorry, because I have a lot of important things I want to talk to you, and I think you are also the things I want to say. I am very interested. How did you get demoted back then? I know very well. You can see if this is your memorial. It took me a lot of effort to find it, Li Cong said After I took out the memorial from my arms, this thing can be said to be very important. This thing is only available in the palace. I really didn’t expect Li Cong to get this thing too. What does this show? I’m telling myself about his abilities. It’s true that ordinary people can’t get it. Even if they can get it, it’s just a handwritten copy, but the one in front of me was written by myself back then. Five pages, but this is it.

Mr. Cao, I have not been an official in the court for many years.I don’t know much about things outside. I was so presumptuous just now. Please come in. Although my home is simple, it is still clean. It can be used for hospitality. Pharaoh recognizes Li. This person from Cong, his friend is also a bit strange, although Li Cong showed his strength to Lao Wang, there is no need to treat him as a guest.This is inconsistent with some of Lao Wang's previous performances.Isn’t this old Wang a person of different tongues, he used to pretend to be unsuccessful to himself, and it’s no wonder that his friend has this kind of thinking. In fact, before, he just didn’t want to have trouble with other things. Interested.What interests him most is his ambitions.If the emperor of the Eastern Empire listened to his opinion.Now the ships of the Eastern Empire must be running across the ocean.

Is it just the ship running?That's not right. You should see the regional benefits these ships bring when they are running, according to the original memorial.If the Eastern Empire government can build one hundred thousand large ships and let them travel to and from the other four empires, this is only the first phase of the plan. Although this number is not a lot, it can reach the Eastern Empire’s fiscal revenue every year. At that time, the fiscal revenue of the Eastern Empire was about 40 billion silver. If it were %, it could increase 800 billion silver every year. This is definitely not a small amount. It is a pity that the Eastern Empire emperor did not listen to it. Now, the fiscal revenue of the Eastern Empire can rise by several levels, perhaps more than the current total, but there is only one opportunity. You have already lost it. Now people have passed this opportunity.

"Although Lord Wang's home is not very big, I can see that everything in this room is very delicate, and I can tell them the way out for many things, and I can see that Lord Wang has literary skills. People, the characters written are also vigorous and powerful after all. If I wrote them down, it would have no such effect." As soon as Li entered the door, he saw a huge herringbone written on it, as if it belonged to some families on the earth. Similarly, people on this planet rarely write this word, but there are many on the earth. Li Cong commented on this word. It can be said that this comment has gone into the heart of this old Wang. He has written this word for so many years. I have never been a guest at home, and even if his calligraphy has improved too quickly, no one told him that I can’t praise myself and go. He already has a smile on his face after hearing these words from Li Cong. Li Cong He rarely fawns on people but has been very good in recent years.

"Master Cao still don't talk nonsense. This is what I usually write by hand. There are many calligraphy in the empire. I can't even justify a little of their fur. Just look at this and this one I wrote back then. The writing is really not very good. Well, now I seem to feel a bit embarrassing to stick out, but I didn’t expect to use this character to write a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor back then. It may be that the writing is not good, so I have the present. This is the result of this.” This fellow, Lao Wang, is also a careful-minded person. He quietly turned the matter to this memorial. How could a person who understands the emperor's majesty be because of a memorial. The writing was good or not, so he dismissed a court official. He said these words to make Li Cong feel his own thoughts, and let Li Cong say what is going on?How can your Cao family firm have the ability to realize this plan?It's useless for you to praise me, you have to see if you have that determination, we are not good to fool.

Lord Wang's handwriting is indeed very good, but I know that the content is 10,000 times more exciting than myself. I had such a dream in the past, but it’s a little bit smaller here, and I have never had a clue to that ideal. , And Lord Wang’s work can be said to be written in my heart, what is exported and what is imported, trade on both sides, both sides are profitable, and both sides are profitable. Such things are not something ordinary people can do. I Seeing that I gave Lord Wang a seat as a minister of the household department back then, it is considered a poor talent. The position of the household secretary is still the same, but I am a business company here. If I want that kind of political status, I can’t get it for Lord Wang. Yes, but if Lord Wang wants a knighthood to pass on to his descendants, I still got this. Li Cong offered his own price?Who doesn't want to let their children and grandchildren live better, who doesn't want to let their ancestors and ancestors shine, this can be regarded as the itch of Lord Wang.

Master Cao joked. Actually, I don't have much pursuit of those things. I just want to leave something for these people in my life.This will be my life's ambition by the end of the year. Now if Cao Da can help me realize this ambition, I think I will be very grateful to Uncle Cao. As for those high-ranking officials and such things, I don’t want them anymore. Although the Lord Wang said that, Li Cong's eyes flashed when he saw him just now, and he knew what he should be doing. It would be good to be a scholar. If he asked him to beg himself, he would definitely be inferior. The head, as long as he directly brought this thing to him, he would never refuse it. This is the face of the scholar. Li Cong has studied it for a while and it is considered thoroughly researched. All these words are considered It's not interesting anymore, this can only be understood.

But if you investigate carefully, you will know from his childhood experience that Mr. Wang is definitely from a poor family. Although there are a few acres of thin fields in his family, the land and everything that he can study has been sold. Four brothers. It can be said that it can only be a well-off life. Even if it is good to have a full meal, he is the only one who has achieved the position of a high official in the capital. The other brothers want to rely on it to get some light, but they did not expect it. He was dismissed from office and went home directly when he was exposed. These brothers didn't have the light, so they had everything they said, right?Back then, you shouldn’t tighten your belt and you read, what can you do if you finish reading?He can't even feed himself, so these nephews and nieces look down on him. Now he also wants a knighthood and wants to have a good life. Let these brothers see that he is definitely not a waste, and he never read the books of the year. Go to the dog's belly, but His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not give him such a chance, but Li Cong gave him such a chance.

Opportunities like this are rare. Li will never wait for this guy all the time, but he is still very useful at the moment. I must wait for this guy. I hope he can give himself a great Good answer.(To be continued...)
