Chapter Three Hundred and Nine Sea Traders

These two people are currently the ones who cooperated with Li Dan the most, and are also the official figures of the Ming Dynasty in foreign overseas trade. One provides Li Dan with a large amount of goods, and the other acquires Li Dan's goods.

Li Dan was actually not very clear about the relationship between the two.

Because in Li Dan's opinion, the He family's things were doing were a bit fartful when they took off their pants.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs can send someone to purchase his own goods, or sell the goods to himself. The two parties can just trade directly, and there is no need for the He family to participate.

From this point of view, the He family is completely useless. Is it really because the He family’s daughter is beautiful and the emperor gave the He family business to take care of the He family?

Of course, Li Dan would not ask about this question, nor would he ask about it.

After all, the matter has nothing to do with him, and Li Dan doesn't want to care about so much. Anyway, it won't delay his own money. As for how they make money, it has nothing to do with him.

But when the two of them came here today, it naturally had something to do with them.

Although I don’t know what the two of them are going to talk to me in detail, Li Dan knew that this conversation was very important. It basically related to his future direction, or to everything he will do in the future.

I came to Beijing myself for this conversation.

The emperor asked himself to enter the palace, but the emperor said nothing. This is normal. It is abnormal if he said it. Li Dan understood it very well. So the attitude of Li Zhongxing and the He family was actually the attitude of the emperor.

"Go in!" He called out his nephew Li He, and Li Dan walked in with a step.

In the hall, Li Dan saw Li Zhongxing and He Kuan, the head of the He family. Both of them were very polite when they saw Li Dan. They stood up with a smile and bowed to Li Dan.

"I have met Mr. Li and Mr. He!" Li Dan bowed to the two of them with a smile.

Although He Kuan's daughter entered the palace, she only entered the palace and did not receive any enthronement. Naturally, the He family could not say that the waters rose. However, everyone knows that this is just a matter of time.

Now the relationship between the emperor and the queen is stable, and the queen gave birth to a eldest prince for the emperor. The harem is very stable. It is impossible for the He family's daughter to do big things, but it is entirely possible to be a concubine or a concubine.

"Mr. Li!" Li Zhongxing and He Kuan both returned the gift politely.

The three of them sat down with the guest and host, and after a while of greeting, the topic gradually shifted to the main business. The one who spoke was Li Zhongxing, and He Kuan cooperated with the explanation.

"Mr. Li, the meaning of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very simple, that is, to establish a Daming Hai Trade Business."

With the promotion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the business has become popular in the Ming Dynasty. It is not rare for everyone to join the business to gather shares in the Ming Dynasty. Both Li Dan and Li Zhongxing know this.

In the past two years, the business names in various places have developed very rapidly. Many places where the imperial courts have not yet begun to register trademarks and business certificates, and some people have begun to take the initiative to go to the tax department to register.

Because whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or other government agencies, everyone is willing to cooperate with registered businesses.

Many times, the orders of the military and the imperial court are only the trade names. If you are not registered in the tax department, people will ignore you at all. The emergence of the trade names has also brought the alliance of merchants from all over the country into a new stage.

In this era, community commerce has already appeared, and guild halls in big cities in various places are the prototypes of such chambers of commerce.

Now that there are business names, it is more convenient for everyone to cooperate, making businesses everywhere very prosperous.

Li Dan knew that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had the idea of ​​establishing a maritime trade business, but he didn't know what the imperial court had planned. Now that he heard Li Zhongxing say this, he suddenly felt upset in his heart.

After looking at Li Zhongxing, Li Dan asked directly: "Mr. Li, I don't know how the Ministry of Internal Affairs is planning to arrange this matter?"

Now Li Dan is also very worried, because if the Lion in the Ministry of Internal Affairs opens his mouth, things will be difficult to do. If he disagrees, things will become very bad. If he agrees, his own interests will be greatly lost.

"This is very simple. The three of us jointly established a business."

After hearing Li Dan's words, Li Zhongxing explained with a smile: "You can also absorb other people in the future, and there is no problem with this. The operation of the business is actually very simple."

"The Office of the Internal Affairs Office is responsible for providing some special goods to ensure that sea trade merchants receive priority supply."

"At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also be responsible for coordinating goods from all over the foot of Daming Mountain to ensure that the goods are ready and run smoothly." Speaking of this, Li Zhongxing added: "The sea trade merchants must also maintain the supply of goods to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Li Zhongxing looked at Li Dan and said with a smile: "This is not discussed at all."

Li Dan understood the meaning in Li Zhong's jargon. In fact, Li Dan had already realized what the Office of the Internal Affairs Office wanted to buy during this period. Most of them were strategic materials, such as iron ore beef tendon, and the worst was grain.

Li Dan knew that these things were not what the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted, but what the court wanted. Li Dan knew very well in his heart and had no way to refuse them. He probably refused them himself and would be gone.

"Of course this is fine!" Li Dan nodded with a smile.

"As for the He family, what they need to do is to integrate other merchants and provide other goods to sea trade merchants, such as silk and other things, to ensure the price of goods."

"You can't make nine taels of silver from Jiangnan, but only seven taels in Guangxi. This is not possible."

Monopoly of goods!

As soon as Li Zhongxing said this, Li Dan understood, and he probably understood why the Ministry of Internal Affairs was willing to let the He family participate. Obviously, it was not only because the He family's daughter was sent to the palace, but there was something wrong with it!

Although I don’t know where Mao Ni was, Li Dan didn’t dare to ask.

"This is OK!" Li Dan nodded with a smile.

In fact, this has a great impact on Li Dan, because you can only make a lot of money by purchasing cheap things. Now, if you want to balance prices and suppress other suppliers, the best way is to seize the channels.

Li Dan knew very well that he was the channel.

Once you agree to Li Zhongxing’s proposal, it means you have to cooperate and suppress the people who sell goods at a cheap price. This is your own loss!

Although Li Dan reacted in an instant, he still agreed immediately.

He Kuan looked at Li Dan and agreed, and raised his eyebrows. Li Dan was indeed a smart person. But He Kuan also knew that at Li Dan's level, money was actually not that important.
