Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 91 The world is unpredictable
Taipei County Grand Theater.

After touching for more than two hours, Chen Wencai got over the boring project on stage. Seeing Ouyang Zhi's unfinished look, he tentatively stepped forward and asked him where he was going next.

Only then did Ouyang Zhi come to his senses, and led everyone back to the place where they got off the carriage, boarded the carriage and left, and told everyone that they were going to visit the business district and logistics district of Taipei County next.

In the carriage, he then introduced to everyone that since the main port is here, the goods come and go frequently, and Taipei is where Longwei Prefecture is located, so these two districts are also the largest commercial and logistics districts built in various places in Fuzhong.

The huge scale is naturally due to the large number of circulation and transactions, which Chen Wentian can see from the huge outlines of the two areas in the distance.

"With such a huge scale, we can know the prosperity of commerce and trade in the mansion, but where can the goods be reached?"

A person in the car asked.

Chen Wentian immediately gave him a thumbs up in his heart. He also wanted to know this question, but it was inconvenient to ask himself. This young man is very sensible...

"That's exactly the case. As for the specific commercial and trade routes, Zhi also doesn't know much about it."

Ouyang Zhi calmly dealt with the past, but he seemed to be very cautious.

And Chen Wentian didn't get the answer he wanted, and he didn't feel upset, after all, there are still many opportunities in the future.

----

The commercial area and logistics area in Taipei County are next to the wharf. Chen Wentian guessed that it was probably for the convenience of loading and unloading goods.

The three areas take up the flat open space on the coast, but only the logistics area and the port area are relatively busy, during which there are endless streams of carriages, and the porters are very busy loading and unloading goods.

The business area is relatively deserted, only sporadic people and carriages walking on the streets.

Ouyang Zhi looked at everyone's expressions, smiled, and then explained like a prophet, this season is not good for business, so the current busyness is less than half of the usual.

"As for why the business area is so deserted, you will know when you get closer..."

Sure enough, it was only when everyone got off the carriage and walked into the business area that they suddenly realized that because of the weather, it turned out that Longwei Mansion moved all trading activities indoors, and specially built a large-scale trading hall in the center of the business area.

Walking into it, a heat wave hits, and the hall is divided into countless small exhibition areas, each of which contains samples of goods. The most important thing is that all the exhibition areas are full of people, and the depression outside the hall What a world of difference!
Chen Wentian walked a few booths and suddenly had a feeling, as if he had not traveled through time, but came to a certain large-scale exhibition...

He was about to observe carefully when he heard Ouyang Zhi's voice behind him after trying to raise the volume:

"Everyone, everyone! There are so many products in this trading hall, so I won't introduce them one by one. You can take a closer look at them yourself. How about I gather here in an hour or so?"

After hearing this, everyone agreed naturally, and Chen Wentian and Tian Kui also had this intention long ago, so they saluted and bid farewell to everyone, and went on their own tour.

"What's the price of this bowl?"

After a while, Chen Wentian stopped in front of a merchant to inquire, because he didn't know how to do it, he just felt that this bowl looked like porcelain, which was quite similar to the ones he saw when he was running a merchant in Jiaodong last time, but the price of those porcelains at that time was almost It's not flattering, it's like a luxury...

"This bowl is made by the Longwei official kiln. It's in excellent condition. It's priced at [-] yuan..."

After Chen Wentian heard this, he cursed in his heart, saying that 7000 yuan is too expensive for me in the north, but this is good for you, and the price has been increased by more than ten times. It is really a big shop that can deceive customers!

So, he shook his head, didn't listen to Stoudemire's further introduction, and walked to a similar shop beside him.

"This bowl is made by the official kiln in Kuaiji. It is of high quality and is priced at [-] yuan..."

Good guy!Is it all the same thing?After Chen Wentian got the answer again, he called 666...

However, looking at the unsurprised Tian Kui, Chen Wentian felt something was wrong, what went wrong?

After a while, he figured out the reason, and he was extremely embarrassed, okay, this time I'm also a bumpkin.

In fact, it's not that the porcelain here is expensive, but that they all do wholesale, with a minimum of [-] pieces. The price is only one-tenth of the porcelain Chen Wentian saw in Jiaodong, and it's directly discounted...

In this way, although there is still a big gap in price, Chen Wentian can understand it. After all, this is the place of production, and it is wholesale. It is indeed reasonable to add freight and loss when it arrives in the north. Anyway, the middlemen Still want to make money!
However, after understanding, Chen Wentian had another idea, and he was envious of it.

In this way, the Huaxia Restaurant is not the only cash cow in Longwei Mansion, even in front of this porcelain bowl, the income of the restaurant is nothing!You must know that this is porcelain, one of the products that the Han people swept the world through the Silk Road!
Now that they can produce it themselves, if it can be shipped out of the Western Regions, or directly to Rome by sea, how much profit will it be...!
Thinking of this, Chen Wentian didn't take care of other people, and speeded up his pace to browse other exhibition areas. As he expected, silk and tea were also produced here.

After learning about the situation, Chen Wentian lost his spirits. He walked to the rest area and sat down. He is not easily discouraged, but the foundation of Longwei Mansion is really good, which greatly exceeded his expectations. With the first-mover advantage, how can I compete with Lin Lin's little gadgets in the future?

Even if he can get the deployment of Longwei Mansion this time, and he successfully leads the goddess to find a suitable place to avoid the wretched growth of this boss, but what about ten or twenty years later?
As long as he is not willing to assist them, he will be the one to meet sooner or later...

In fact, the production and trade of porcelain and silk in Longwei Mansion only started last year, and the output and sales have not yet been fully developed, and the profits are not that exaggerated. big!

Are we going to change course again?
Chen Wentian was in an extremely entangled situation. The Goddess must not be able to persuade her, not to mention that what she said was also reasonable. Now that the senior is dead, what should he do if his descendants have bad intentions towards him? ?What if their philosophy of governing the country is different from their own...

"Master, I'm a little tired, let's drink some hot tea."

Like an old slave, Tian Kui handed over a cup of tea and asked with concern, interrupting Chen Wentian's thoughts, but looking at his simple face, Chen Wentian thought of someone, and regained some confidence.

What Ouyang Jun did some time ago gradually emerged in Chen Wentian's mind. The senior actually chose such an heir. Of course, Ouyang Jun can be regarded as the third generation. The current Marquis Longwei is said to be his father named Ouyang Qi, but he is not in good health. Well, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be passed on to him.

Yes, the world is unpredictable, with such a... pretending to be X, what will happen to Longwei Mansion in the future, Chen Wentian has found a reason to convince himself, although he has the same ideals as Lin Lin, but the future generations always His investment career has penetrated into his bone marrow a sense of risk. If there is no hope at all, he will definitely consider it carefully.

Soon, the appointed time came, and Ouyang Zhi, who had been waiting for everyone, came out of the hall again.

"Everyone, it's not early today, I might as well go back to the post house first, the mansion has arranged a banquet to welcome you all, if you still want to visit other places, I'll go tomorrow."

Ouyang Zhi stood in front of the carriage and saluted everyone.

"Thank you, Mr. Ouyang. We were quite shocked to see the grand occasions of Longwei Mansion today. But from Wentian's point of view, the development of Taipei's mansion has been planned for a long time, and it is now very effective. I wonder if I can go to Tainan County to have a look tomorrow. There may be some differences there, so that we can learn more..."

Chen Wentian pretended to be in awe and stepped forward and said that he still wanted to visit the newly built city in the south. On the one hand, he could understand how Xialongwei Mansion opened up wasteland, and more importantly, he thought that the construction site might not be well protected. So strict, maybe you can leave some preparation plan, so that you can escape by yourself in the future...

"You can't decide how to deal with this matter, how about you take me to tell the Lord, and then reply to my little friend...?"
