Chapter 44: White eyebrows are the best (2)

It’s no wonder Uncle Ma is always anxious. The end of the year is approaching. If you can hurry up and contact Wuximan, you can do a wave of New Year’s goods transactions, and the profit is quite considerable.

Although Wuximan is closed and self-disciplined, they still have to make a lot of transactions with the outside world.

Because the barbarians cannot be self-sufficient, many daily necessities and necessities are often in short supply, but because of the cunning merchants, they often deceive the honest and kind barbarians, resulting in constant conflicts between big and big.

The most valuable things of the barbarians are naturally mountain goods and cereal cloth, especially cereal cloth, which is a tribute to the royal family, which is very rare!

What the barbarians need most is food and salt.

These transactions are all high-profit industries. When Ma Liang went out to study, his third brother, Uncle Ma, often repeatedly reminded him to find opportunities to establish relationships with the barbarians and to start the business between the family and the barbarians.

Ma Liang was also very concerned about family affairs. He originally planned to establish a relationship with one or two small tribes, then trade with them, and then slowly expand the business.

Unexpectedly, I went out to study this time and had a good luck. Not only did I get along with the barbarian king Shamoke, but I also got into friendship with the chiefs of the five major tribes.

In the alliance between the barbarian king Shamoko and the four chiefs, Ma Liang personally drafted a covenant, in which the major tribes suffered greatly and often had conflicts with the outside world due to transactions.

However, Ma Liang saw the business opportunities and suggested that they be handed over to the Barbarian Palace to deal with it. In order to save trouble, the chiefs agreed happily.

Shamoke was also worried about this matter, so Ma Liang naturally would not stand by and agreed to handle the matter for Shamoke.

In this way, Shamoko will have more places to rely on Ma Liang in the future, and the friendship between the two can be maintained for a long time.

With Ma Liang's intervention, the barbarians will no longer suffer great losses and cause unnecessary conflicts in commodity trading with the outside world because they do not understand the market.

Shamoke trusts Ma Liang very much, so he naturally would not suspect that Ma Liangkeng harmed him. Even his beloved sister Sha Qiu wanted to be an outdoor room for Ma Liang, he would be very supportive.

Of course, Ma Liang was not prepared to harm his friends, but just wanted the third brother to trade with Shamoko at the market price. The normal profit would still be accepted.

Ma Xian listened to Ma Liang's introduction to his experience in the Xiongxi tribe. Among them, Ma Su was bitten by a snake, and it was extremely dangerous, but it still couldn't cause much emotional change. After all, Ma Su's danger has passed, and now he is standing in front of him alive.

But when he learned that Ma Liang had already obtained the entire Wuximan business, he was almost shocked on the spot!

After Ma Xian recovered from the shock, he could no longer sit still. He didn't care about the rudeness and stood up, and asked to arrange personnel to purchase New Year's goods overnight, preparing to go to Wuximan to sell the first batch of goods, and explore the way.

Fortunately, Ma Su and Ma Liang had almost finished their meals. They stood up and said goodbye in the name of hard work on the journey, preparing to go back to pay their respects to their parents and rest.

Because of his extraordinary talent, Ma Xian has mastered the family's economic lifeline since he was sixteen years old. He was not convinced by Mr. Shui Jing's comments that "The Five Constant Ma Family, the Most Good White Eyebrows" and believed that his talents and achievements were definitely not inferior to Ma Liang!

But this time Ma Liang and Ma Su strangely brought the entire Wuximan business market to the Ma family, which made him completely convinced. Ma Liang was just not doing business, and his ability to seize opportunities was no worse than himself!

In Ma Xian's opinion, it is incredible that Ma Liang and the others can be recognized by the Barbarian King Shamoke in such a short time, and have unconditional trust!

In fact, Ma Xian himself made the matter complicated! This matter has nothing to do with talent, but it is closely related to identity and personality.

As a scholar, Ma Liang emphasizes integrity and strictly restrains himself with the standards of a gentleman, has a open mind and treats others with sincerity, so he will naturally be easily recognized and trusted by others.

The shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are intrigues everywhere. If merchants are not careful, they will be deceived and lose all their money.

Such things are commonplace for businessmen, and the friendship between businessmen is measured by interests.

Every businessman needs to keep his eyes open. Even if he doesn't deceive others, he is afraid that he will be deceived and lacks trust between him.

Perhaps some businessmen have never deceived others and think that they cannot gain the trust of others, which is a bit unfair!

In fact, it is natural for a person who is always guarding against others and not trusted by others.

If a businessman who has been deceived has some hidden thoughts of cheating from others deep in his heart, it is very likely to suddenly cheat!

If Ma Xian had been with Shamoko, because of his identity as a businessman and his businessman's principles, even if he was talking about it in such a short time, he would not have been able to gain Shamoko's trust in such a short time!

But Ma Shuchang's talent is true. With just a letter from Ma Liang, he prepared enough goods in a very short time and successfully completed the transaction with the barbarians at a preferential price.

Because the price of the product this time is fair and because he is Ma Liang's brother, Shamoko quickly recognized him.

Shamoko did not raise any objection to the next transaction, and was carried out completely according to Ma Shuchang's plan.

Because he already regarded Ma Liang and Ma Su as his own, Ma Xian was naturally no longer an outsider.

After Ma Xian finalized the matter, he took action to deal with barbarian transactions. What made him most troubled was that the transportation between Shajiazhai and Majiahe was very inconvenient.

There were many rivers and lakes in Jingzhou. At that time, the transportation in Jingzhou mainly relied on water transportation. Cargoes were transported from Majiahe to Shajiazhai. When you go on water, you had to walk a hundred miles of waterways in the opposite direction and enter the Yangtze River waterway.

Then, from the Yangtze River to the east, enter Dongting Lake, enter Xiangjiang River from Dongting Lake. Then from the Xiangjiang River to the east, there are still dozens of miles of waterway before reaching Shajiazhai.

After walking through this waterway, it not only greatly increased the transportation cost of goods, but also because of the high winds and rapid waves along the way, there are many reefs, so the ships are prone to problems. In addition, there are still many thieves along the way, so the transportation risk is also very high.

In this way, the advantage of commodity prices will be gone. If the asking price is too low, there will be no money to make. If the asking price is too high, the barbarians may not accept it.

In order to reduce costs, Ma Xian personally walked along this waterway, hoping to conduct on-site inspections and change this situation.

Ma Xian is really talented, especially in the shopping mall with agility!

Not long after, he really found a way. Uncle Ma Chang bought a large piece of wasteland on the south bank of the Xiangjiang River because it could not be cultivated here and the price was very cheap.
