Chapter 270 Going to sea

Fan Yongdou spent several months to deal with these things. By this time the Chinese New Year was almost over. He calculated that his property and the fields had lost all his money. The Fan family had changed from a first-class business family to a second-rate or even a third-rate. The shops in Gongzhong have also gone bankrupt. Now all the rest are the shops in Zhangjiakou and the ancestral property in Shanxi. The total amount is only the family property of Zhangjiakou, and the property of Shanxi is only hundreds of thousands, but the property of Gongzhong. Fan Yongdou's own wealth has almost lost all his money.

He lost so badly, of course he resented Zhang Han to the core. Fan Yongdou never thought that he had taken on this business war by himself. If Zhang Han lost, how good would he be with Yusheng?

"You can't come to find me happy, right?" Yu Shigan said impatiently: "Your grudge against Zhang Han is resolved by your own family. If you want me to avenge you, you should save money."

"I just want to know why the big cabinet is so scared?"

"Damn it, you know nothing!" Yu Shigan finally said angrily: "Zhang Han is rich and uses all the soldiers he raises good bird guns. He can shoot far and good weapons and train soldiers well. If you fight with him, I will have to live two more years."

"After all, it's just that there is insufficient money and food." Fan Yongdou's eyes were full of madness. He said: "There are still more than 100,000 families left. This is hidden privately. I am willing to give it to the big cabinet. No one knows where the money is hidden. If the big cabinet is willing, I will use this money to buy good weapons, whether it is a sword, gun, shield, armor, or bird gun, it has something to do on the nine sides. If there is money, you can buy it. As long as the big cabinet and the boss can fight with Zhang Han to the end, it will be worth helping the family!"

"The dog-good guy is worthy of being the boss. He still has a hand when he loses the bottom." Yu Shi cursed with a dry smile, and his eyes were full of viciousness: "Master Fan, have you probably never heard of our methods?"

"I'm on guard." Fan Yongdou took a small bottle from his hand. The bottle plug had been removed. He chuckled and said, "If the big cabinet does not agree, I will immediately take the medicine and commit suicide."

"Everyone has something to say." Lao Zhou said smoothly: "Everyone has a grudge against Zhang Han, and Master Fan destroyed his family and helped him, so the big cabinet agreed."

"Agree!" Yu Shigan finally got excited and said loudly: "I have so many people dead from my mother. If I can fight with him, would I really want to be scared? Everyone drinks and discusses how to fight slowly!"

...

"There are all goods from He Yusheng here, all of them."

The coldness on the beach is so hot that there is some broken ice near the shore, but the sea surface does not freeze. In the past few miles or even dozens of miles, the sea is often frozen near the sea such as Juehua Island and Pi Island in Liaodong is not safe. In the deep winter, the sea surface is frozen and it has to be cut off from Jiannu.

The sea surface in Tianjin is fine, the port and the pier are not frozen, and dozens of sea boats are loading here. Although it is almost the end of the New Year, it is still a busy and busy scene.

Li Guobin received He Yusheng's iron goods one after another since last month, and then began to prepare for the matter. He and the ship owner Duan Shiming agreed on the price of goods. He Yusheng also sent a deputy shopkeeper and several friends to follow him. Li Guobin felt that those friends were not simple, with proper actions, proper movement and quietness, and did not talk much, but they were all shrewd, especially in every move, and felt like they had practiced.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Wu's Lian Jiazi, his feeling should be correct.

The goods do not occupy much space, but they are particularly heavy because they are all iron tools.

A large number of iron needles account for a large share. An iron needle can be sold for two cents of silver in Japan, which is simply a sky-high price. You should know that a high-quality iron like Min Iron only costs five cents per pound per pound. How many needles can a pound of Min Iron make?

Of course, it costs money to process materials, but even if it is a half cent silver and a needle, the profit is too great. Moreover, this is the wholesale price of trade. It is estimated that the short Japanese in Japan will have to be more expensive when they buy it. I don’t know how they live on weekdays.

In addition to iron needles, there are also a large number of goods such as shovels, spoons, shovels, etc.

A man on a sea boat with black eyes shouted: "The small iron pot is 1,500, spoon is 30,000, kitchen knives are 15,000, fine iron wine pot is 5,000, iron basin is 8,000, large Guang pot is 800, iron pot is 300, large iron pot is 300, large iron pot is 300... Two thousand iron strips, two thousand iron fire chopsticks, five thousand iron furnace nails, two thousand iron hoes, two thousand iron bolts, one thousand iron axes, iron cables, and iron locks..."

"Heavy, really heavy."

Duan Shiming did not wear Qian Zong's military uniform. He was a fifth-rank military officer at least. His military officers are not worth much nowadays, but his official body is not free. If the boss knows, he is not worth it. He is wearing thick big sweater, his cloak is thick, and his face is still red with cold. If it weren't for this trip, he would definitely not have run over.

No wonder Duan Shiming muttered that this iron cargo was really hard. His ship had 1,200 materials and 600 tons of water. It is estimated that this iron cargo from Heyusheng would account for more than 70% of the transportation volume. Although there was a lot of room left, it was impossible to ship too much cargo.

After all, you also need to bring a lot of food and water.

At this time, sailors began to carry large buckets, and the food in them was filled with meat and fish. Li Guobin smiled at Wang Faxiang, who was watching the excitement. "The food in these large wooden buckets will deteriorate. The only way is to make it smell smelly first, and then remove insects, so that they can eat the smelly back and forth. They also have to spread bean sprouts, otherwise they will run back and forth and all their teeth will fall off after getting off the boat."

Wang Faxiang still looked indifferent and said, "If things are forced to the top, you can run away from the sea."

Seeing that Li Guobin was a little dissatisfied, he said, "Mr. Li thought he was bragging, right? He was also a tiger in the past. He broke his legs and threw them on the street. No one cared about it. He was picking up rotten food in the garbage dump and put it down."

Li Guobin was moved by it and said solemnly: "I wonder what you did that day?"

“Trader women.”

Li Guobin was speechless when he heard this.

The value of these iron tools is not too high at the time of the Ming Dynasty. Even so, it is much more cost-effective than selling iron. For example, the iron hoe is one or two cents of silver per handful. The price is no less than the price of ten kilograms of square iron. The material for an iron hoe, a handle and a hoe is very limited, but it has the most superficial industrial added value... In other words, after the blacksmith forged it, the price has increased dozens of times compared to the raw material price.

The iron tools in front of you are very well-made, and they are many times more skillful than the goods in small workshops. Even some big businesses have their own iron tools and workshops.

Li Guobin has never been to Lizhuang, nor has he actually been to the local area

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I have seen how terrifying the production capacity in Lizhuang is... Standardized workshops and factories are just appearance, and advanced management is the most important. The patent system, reward system, piece-based salary, plus the use of standardized tools, craftsman training, etc., all of which are far away from this era.

As long as you exert your strength from Yusheng, the result will be obvious.

In just less than two months, several factories have made every effort to produce private products to seize the maritime market and civilian market. As expected, productivity is booming, and the cargo of the sea ship in front of them is a clear proof.

Even Duan Shiming, the Thousand General Officer, also exclaimed: "I have seen many goods from families. It is the first time I have seen these iron tools in front of me. When I come to Japan, the price will probably increase by at least about 30%. In this way, each company will rush to ask for it."

"Master Cheng's good words." Li Guobin knew that Mr. Qian still wanted to sell sea ships. The trade in Tianjin was not developed. The key was that the risks were too great and there were too many uncontrollable factors. In recent years, Japan has not been peaceful, mainly because the Dutch Red and Mass Yi and the Ming Dynasty were in conflict, and there were many troubles at sea. In addition, the Red and Mass Yi himself often fought wars, and there were often accidents on the sea. Mr. Duan Qian's ship was definitely not his own. He was just a person who came forward. The owner behind probably was eager to take it off.

The more this happens, it might be better to lower the price. If this trip comes back smoothly, it will at least double the profit. In the face of this, it is estimated that Zhang Dongzhu will really buy a ship.

"The ship has to go to Jiangnan." Duan Shiming said: "If you want to come back, it will be at least half a year later!"

Li Guobin said: "I hope the people and goods are safe. I will talk to Lord Duan about buying a boat."

"Haha, that's the best."

At this time, the sound of a yelling to start the boat came from the boat. The sailors raised the sails at the stern, and the north wind whistled and blew the sail surface. The boat used the wind power, and the rudder adjusted the direction and finally anchored. After turning the huge hull, it quickly left in the south, gradually moving away in the undulating blue waves.

"I always feel that I am in a very important occasion." Wang Faxiang, who had no idea before and had just started studying in recent years, suddenly said with a serious look on his face: "I'm afraid that Yusheng and I will truly show our power on the sea after this ship!"

"It may not be so easy." Li Guobin knew some things at sea. The sea used to be the world of Li Dan and Yan Siqi. Li Dan's power was in the trade circles along Guangzhou and Fujian to Japan and Nanyang. This person was also very powerful in Japan. Although he was not as good as Wang Zhi back then, he was probably not far from that.

Then there was Yan Siqi, who occupied Taiwan and immigrated to Taiwan as a leader of maritime merchants and Japanese pirates. He was a very thoughtful person.

Then there is Xu Xinsu, who is a big sea merchant in Fujian and a capable ally of Li Dan.

"Hmph, Mr. Li, you don't know how powerful we are." Wang Faxiang said with admiration: "In his hands, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

"This is the best." Li Guobin laughed at first, savored it carefully and sighed: "If everyone, like you, is as confident in your proprietor and your master, there is really nothing that can't be done."-

=—

I'll hurry up and get back today, and I can still ask for a ticket with shame.
