Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 31 Smelling the Smell of Copper Coins
The significance of a great voyage is no less than a world revolution.

Even after 2000, water transport is still the most economical among all forms of bulk cargo transportation.

If it weren't for what happened to Zhen Ji, Liu Bei would not have thought of this level, and he just pushed the boat along the way to develop shipping.

With a dock, you can build merchant ships, you can build warships, and you can form a fleet with more warships.

Regardless of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, East Asia and Southeast Asia, even the four oceans and seven continents, in front of the giant cannons, he kneels or kneels.

Zhang Cheng felt relieved when he heard that Lord Hou had the bottom line, and he ran back to Zhongshan to raise funds that day.

Unexpectedly, before the Zhen family meeting ended, the funds of the rich and powerful Zhang Su Chamber of Commerce had already arrived.

Twenty million dollars.

I don't want much, and it accounts for two components in SF Express.

Every month, Zhang Su Trading Company has a large amount of goods to be transported to the south of the Yangtze River, so the convenience of sea transportation is naturally perfect.

The Zhen family was taken aback.

Zhang Su's joining is obviously the intention of Master Hou, which means that the SF Express is worth 100 million taels of silver.

According to the usual practice, Lord Hou occupies 30%, and the Zhen family needs to contribute [-] taels of silver.

It's not that it can't be paid out, but that with such a large amount, the money in the treasury must be used.

It’s okay to pay money, but only relying on the money saved by tea, can you pay back the money in the year of the monkey?
If fluctuations or accidents occur during this period, the Zhen family may go bankrupt.

Zhang Cheng thought that there was no problem with SF Express, but after all, his surname was Zhang, not Zhen, so he couldn't do it for him.

After discussing for two days, no agreement could be reached. In order to facilitate this matter as soon as possible, Zhang Cheng came up with an idea.

"I know two giant merchants in the south, and I can invite them to participate together."

Hey, it's a good idea to share the risk.

Without further ado, with the approval of the Zhen family, Zhang Cheng went straight to Xuzhou day and night.

If you talk about the world's giant merchants, no matter how you rank them, Xuzhou's Mi family must be among the top three.

He has been in business for generations, has tens of thousands of tenant farmers and slave workers, and has assets of hundreds of millions. The head of the family, Mi Zhu, has extraordinary vision and extraordinary courage.

Zhang Cheng came to visit in a hurry, and Mi Zhu received him with a high standard and went out to greet him in person.

Different from ordinary merchants, Mi Zhu's clothes are extremely simple, and his home furnishings are not luxurious.

In less than two years, Zhenji Trading Co., Ltd. has been operating tea gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and has flourished. There are rumors that behind Zhenji is Liu Bei who controls Youyong and Yongzhou.

Therefore, even though Zhang Cheng is the agent of the Zhen family, Mi Zhu respects him enough.

What's interesting is that it was Zhenji's top-quality green tea that was used to entertain Zhang Cheng, which showed Mi Zhu's high EQ.

Sure enough, the familiar taste of tea soup made Zhang Cheng inadvertently develop a good impression of Mi Zhu.

"My little brother was entrusted by the head of the family. I have something to do today, and I need the help of brother Zizhong."

Mi Zhu's eyebrows twitched, a little surprised.

The richness of the Zhen family is afraid that they will not lose to their own family, but today they lowered their posture and asked for help, which shows that the matter is of great importance.

Could it be that the one in the north is going to expand the army and prepare for war?
It is not impossible to subsidize the strong, but it depends on what you can get?
In fact, one of the secrets of the reason why the Mi family has become a wealthy family for a long time is investing in dignitaries.

To this day, every year and festival, Mi Zhu would personally go to the Eastern Capital to honor the court chiefs.

Therefore, he has a considerable understanding of Liu Bei's situation and is willing to get acquainted.

It's always too speculative to come to the door rashly, but unexpectedly, the opportunity came by itself.

Mi Zhu smiled slightly, and said modestly: "Ah, if your family is powerless, then Mi is even more powerless."

Zhang Cheng also knew the Mi family quite well. If Zhang Su and the Zhen family were merchants, the Mi family was a big landlord and a merchant, and their industry's need for transportation would not be so urgent.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng wisely chose the advantages of SF Express to make a profit.

".Therefore, in less than two or three years, SF will cover half of the north-south freight transport in the world, and it will surely make ten times the profit."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng looked at Mi Zhu's statement.
Mi Zhu slowly changed from initial surprise to thought, and then his brows stretched.

It turns out that it is understandable that the Zhen family needs foreign aid.

It is indeed costly to build a dock and a shipbuilding fleet, especially after two or three years to make a profit, which is definitely not something that a single family can afford.

Participating in shares is no problem. From Mi Zhu's point of view, SF Express has great potential and is undoubtedly worth investing in.

What's more, if you can take advantage of Liu Bei's relationship, the money will be well spent.

"That being the case, the geometry of the unknown gap?"

"Twenty million yuan, or 5000 million yuan is fine."

Mi Zhu heard what the other party meant, and asked, "But you still want to invite other people?"

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Linhuai Lu's house."

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid Lu Zijing may not be able to collect 5000 million."

It's really a waste of money, the Lu family can indeed come up with 5000 million yuan, but no one will do that.

Zhang Cheng was a little dazed, but he heard Mi Zhu say: "How about it, you and I will go to Linhuai together tomorrow."

Zhang Cheng became more and more confused, not understanding what the other party meant?
However, until now, we can only do as we please.

Two days later, Zhang Cheng and Mi Zhu arrived at Linhuai Lu Mansion hand in hand.

Hearing that the two big bosses were coming, Lu Su and Lu Zijing rushed out to greet them.

After talking in detail, sure enough, when he heard that 5000 million yuan was going to be invested, Lu Su's expression was extremely embarrassing.

What the hell, they are all famous in the circle, and if they refuse, it means that their family is a small family, so let's get out, it's impossible.

At this time, Mi Zhu asked with a smile.

"Zijing, can I take a step to speak?"

In a secluded place, Mi Zhu spoke first.

"Zijing, what do you think of the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce?"

Lu Su thought for a while and said: "The rich and powerful are supported by each other, and they complement each other. The wealth is strong and no one can stop it."

Mi Zhu pointed at the other party, and then asked himself: "How about you and I join forces?"

Hey, how dare you!
The essence of business is that the big fish eat the small fish. If we can work together, it will be a win-win situation.

"Thanks to the praise, my younger brother is the only one who looks forward to it. I am here today, yes."

"Once I participate in SF Express, if I see it well, I will be able to make a profit for at most two years."

"Second Liuzhou Mu is very good, and he will become a great weapon in the future. Don't miss it."

Lu Su nodded, agreeing with Mi Zhu's point of view, but worried that he would not be able to get on the stage because he did not have such a strong family background.

"Zijing, since we are joining forces, you can pay as much as you can, and I will make up for the shortage. At that time, you and my two families will also make a situation, so that Zhongshan will not deceive me. There is no one in the south."

Lu Su was overjoyed when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly.

Being able to get on the stage of a real rich man, the Lu family will be able to leap into the dragon's gate.

The two returned together and directly agreed to jointly invest [-] million yuan, but there was a request.

"You two want to see the state shepherd?"

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Liu Yongzhou, a hero in the world! We have admired him for a long time, and we hope to fulfill him."

Zhang Cheng instantly understood the meaning, but it was reasonable.

What's more, whether the two of Mi and Lu can participate in the SF Express really needs the lord's nod, so they just need to go back together.

"Zhou Mu also likes to make friends with talented people from all walks of life, and he will certainly welcome the two of you to visit Shangjun."

They are all business elites, and they understand the truth that time equals money.

The next day, the three traveled together by car and rushed to Shangjun together.

In Shangjun in February, the ice and snow melted, and the grass on the field sprouted green shoots.

Thanks to the state's policy of animal husbandry emphasizing business and benefiting the people, Shangjun has gradually prospered, and it looks like a "little Zhuo county".

There are tea and silk from the south, leather and wool from the north, salted fish from the East China Sea, glazed gemstones from the Western Regions, books and antiques from the Eastern Capital, and there are all kinds of things that one expects to find.

People are divided into groups.

Mi Zhu and Lu Su, who smelled the smell of copper coins from the air, felt much more at ease.

It took almost no trouble to get to the State Shepherd's Mansion, and there was no need for any arrangements. After the notification, the housekeeper took the three of them to the side hall for receiving guests.

Looking at the greeting post, Liu Bei seemed to feel the fetters of fate.

Anyway, it's time to see you.

After changing into his normal clothes, Liu Bei came to the side hall.

"Xiaomin Mi Zhu, Xiaomin Lu Su, I have met Zhou Mu."

"Get up quickly!"

Lifting them up, Liu Bei smiled at Zhang Cheng, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said humbly: "It's the duty of the little people, I really dare not do it."

"Sit everyone!"

The four were seated as the guest of honor.

Zhang Cheng gave a general introduction to the situation, and introduced the situation of the Milu family in detail.

"Ok!"

Liu Bei understands that the industry chain of SF Express has indeed invested heavily, so it is understandable to invite Mi Zhu and Lu Su.

However, the three Zhongshan companies failed to fully understand their own strategies, so they ignored the broader market value.

Just take this opportunity to reveal a thing or two, so that they can earn money for themselves in a down-to-earth manner.

"You two don't have to worry. Once the ship is built, you can go east to Yizhou Fusang, south to Jiaozhi Yazhou, and even further east and south, and even reach all over the world."

This is the benefit of crossing the whole map mode of Goldfinger.

The eyes of the three listeners lit up immediately, and their hearts were agitated.

The traveler also pretended to be mysterious and said: "I was in the eastern capital, and I met some foreigners from overseas. He said that in the south of the South China Sea, there is a country of indigenous peoples. There are so many rare and rare birds. The mountains and islands are full of jade and spices. One boat, that is, a hundred times the profit."

In the staring eyes of Zhang Milu and the others, Liu Bei clearly saw six golden gold ingots.

For businessmen, what is more precious than life?
The answer is only two words: business opportunities.
