Chapter 16 I Want to Play Papermaking
"I was reckless for a moment, and I was lucky to have my advice from Mr. Xu. I thanked me here." Zhao Jiaren was sincere and sent some money to make a substantial statement.
Xu Yuanzhi naturally accepted the envelope containing the money. He smiled and said, "This is Zhao County Magistrate, you can help with it. I am not happy. Zhao County Magistrate is going to Fuqing this time, how can you achieve great things?"
"I can't say that I'm going to Fuqing this time because I want to do something and do some paper production business there." Zhao Jiaren told his considerations.
"Paper making?" Xu Yuanzhi frowned slightly.
"Yes. Papermaking. But I definitely won't do it myself, I will ask someone else to do it." Zhao Jiaren continued to talk about his plan.
The Song Dynasty did not particularly discriminate or object to doing business. There were probably people in every official’s family engaged in business. After passing the Jinshi, there was an official support scene. Business would have an umbrella. Otherwise, with the cruelty of the official, once a businessman without a backer made money, he would probably be gnawed and even bones were left.
"Pirates are popular now. If there is no ship, the bandits on the mountain will become bandits in the sea. And the navy of the left-wing army, I think I am afraid that they will not be able to destroy the siege. If you want to have a ship, you need to have money. What I do is naturally selfish. Advance can serve the country, and retreat can also protect yourself from wealth. You can gain something if you want to advance and retreat, but you cannot do without money."
Xu Yuanzhi frowned. There were really few scholars from the Southern Song Dynasty who could speak like this. However, the young Jinshi in front of him was talking freely about the future with his own imagination as the core. This made Xu Yuanzhi feel a sense of nostalgia. When he was young, he felt that the height of the sky was, he could fly as high as he could.
I wanted to give Zhao Jiaren some advice, but Xu Yuanzhi held it back. He felt that his advice might sound pale and powerless. More importantly, he himself didn't like the advice he was about to say. After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuanzhi asked: "Does Zhao County Wei know how to make paper?"
"I don't understand." Zhao Jiaren said calmly. Then he added in his heart that he didn't quite understand the papermaking of this era.
In the 21st century, Zhao Jiaren's family made a fortune by opening a paper mill on the Huai River that desperately pollutes the natural environment. They earned money to allow Zhao Jiaren to study in the United States and study for a doctorate in psychology. But Zhao Jiaren, a ruthless son, was not only not grateful for this, but instead opposed the family's arbitrary pollution of the natural environment. Perhaps for this reason, Zhao Jiaren learned pollution-free medicine.
Of course, Zhao Jiaren now regrets it. He feels that it would be great if he studied heavy industry majoring in severe pollution.
Xu Yuanzhi was amused by Zhao Jiaren's words. He laughed helplessly a few times and advised Zhao Jiaren to be cautious.
Zhao Jiaren felt that he was still cautious, at least when he went to Jianxian Money House, he changed into ordinary clothes, not official uniforms.
The thick walls, hardwood counters, and hardwood fences separate the people who save money and withdraw money from the people in the money house. The hardwood railings are shiny, and I don’t know if it is the result of the long-term friction of the sleeves or the result of wiping every day.
When he saw Zhao Jiaren coming in, the guy immediately came up and asked Zhao Yong to stay in the lobby and invited Zhao Jiaren to the back hall. The yard of the back hall was separated into several small houses, and the guy took Zhao Jiaren into the first room at the left.
There was a strong man inside. When he saw Zhao Jiaren coming in, he stood up and smiled and said, "The third young master is here, are you here to pay back the money?"
Zhao Jiaren smiled slightly, took out a purse from his arms, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the man. At the same time, he joked: "It seems that you are thinking about me and running away without paying back the money."
The man laughed and took the paper and opened it. This was the flight ticket from Jianxian Money House, which was opened by Jianxian Money House in Quanzhou. He put away his smile and the man asked his colleagues from the two money houses to carefully check the flight ticket. Zhao Jiaren ignored them and walked to the chair with a soft-cushioned chair next to the table and sat down comfortably.
After a while, the man confirmed that the ticket was correct. He ordered someone to get Zhao Jiaren's loan note, outlined it and handed it to him. Zhao Jiaren carefully looked at the loan note he had made a few months ago, and then put it in his arms.
It is related to hundreds of coins of money, and everyone has to be careful. As soon as the matter is over, the strong man smiled and poured tea for Zhao Jiaren, and then said with a smile: "Is there any business to take care of the third son when he comes to me this time?"
Zhao Jiaren smiled slightly and said to the man: "Brother Qi, you have to think about what I told you last time if you are willing."
When he heard this, the smile on the man's face seemed to be a mask that had been pierced. It was obvious that the man was struggling in his heart. Since he couldn't laugh, the man simply put away his professional smile and lowered his voice and said, "Third Young Master, I drank a few more drinks last time and said some drunken words after drinking. I hope the third young master will not remember it in my heart."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just asking if you dare to take risks and invest. Is it riskless to let your money go out and borrow money?" Zhao Jiaren replied with some disdain.
The man surnamed Qi was named Ye. After hearing this, Qi Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly. He remembered the last conversation, even if he looked drunk, his heart was actually clear. Zhao Jiaren came here several times to borrow money to buy gunpowder materials, and everyone became familiar with it. While drinking, he talked about the money shop.
Nowadays, money banks rely on lending. The large amount of money here is not from money banks, but from local dignitaries. Regardless of whether the bank loses or makes money every year, the interest that should be paid to those dignitaries must be paid in vain.
Zhao Jiaren's eyes were shiny after drinking, and he described to Qi Ye a new world, a dazzling new world. The money house is no longer bullied, but makes a judgment on whether to borrow money based on his understanding of business. Moreover, borrowing money is divided into borrowing money and investment. Even as a money house, Qi Ye feels that his mind is as if he has broken through the sky and flew to a higher world.
Afterwards, Zhao Jiaren returned to Putian to continue to open the canal. Qi Ye was mentally stimulated and almost miscalculated a few mistakes. After finally stopping his mind, Qi Ye reflected on the previous incident and felt that he could no longer think about it. But at this time, he heard Zhao Jiaren continue to say "crazy words" in a proper tone, and he felt that his thoughts in his heart couldn't help but relax.
Zhao Jiaren saw Qi Ye's wavering and continued to say bluntly: "You have funds, I have credit. Whether I can do this credit is something I can talk about. If you think I am reliable in making money, and if you believe in my credit, you will invest the money in the transaction I run..."
"Stop talking." Qi Ye's voice almost begged. Seeing that Zhao Jiaren did not continue speaking, Qi Ye shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw Zhao Jiaren's words out of his head. After calming down, Qi Ye said, "Three Master. If you want to borrow money, just say it. Don't say anything else."
Zhao Jiaren didn't say anything anymore. He turned the topic back to the current affairs, "I have three things to ask you this time. The first thing is naturally to ask you to find a way. I have paper to sell in a few months. The second thing is that if the transaction is done big, the money will go to your money house. The third thing is, show me if there is anyone's ship to sell. I have already written a rough miss of what kind of ship I want."
After saying that, Zhao Jiaren handed a piece of paper to Qi Ye. Qi Ye took it to see it. It was about the load and type of ship. He put away the paper, "I know these things. Is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jiaren nodded, "On New Year's Day, I heard that someone was robbing the Pu family's ship. The government did not do things carefully, so you can help me find out which hero he was. Is there any news about this hero he was recently. If there is any, I will immediately send someone to tell me. I am no longer in Putian, but I am a county magistrate in Fuqing County."
After these matters were discussed, Zhao Jiaren left the bank of Vision. He chose to cooperate with this bank because Zhao Jiaren liked the name of the bank very much. "I think of the masters when I see the masters, but I reflect on myself when I see the bad!' The boss of this bank is surnamed Qi.
Qi Ye was ranked seventh in his home just now. He had his own opinions on the money shop and his thoughts were not conservative. However, even so, it seemed that Qi Ye would accept the concept of "fund plus credit" far beyond his personal imagination and acceptance. This made Zhao Jiaren feel a little regretful.
Zhao Jiaren left the money shop, and Qi Ye was also upset. He was twenty-eight years old this year and was well-informed. However, he had never seen a little devil like Zhao Jiaren in his life.
It is not because Zhao Jiaren is young, but because Zhao Jiaren has an inexplicable persuasion when he speaks. Only by being full of faith in his own ideas can people say persuasive words. Even if those words are crazy words, many people can believe them. Qi Ye found that he did not believe Zhao Jiaren's crazy words, but he really wanted to believe them.
He shook his head hard again and drove his thoughts out of his mind. Qi Ye stood up and went out. What Zhao Jiaren had just told him was not something he could tell by sitting in the money shop. It was because the money shop paid great attention to news that Qi Ye realized that it was him who collected the news.
When buying and selling paper and ships, just find a few tooths to ask and post a task to them. It is not possible to rely on these people to do so. Qi Ye went to the pawnshop in the west of the city and found a family to go in. The shopkeeper quickly led Qi Ye to the back. When Qi Ye saw his boss, he asked straight in: "Is there any news about the pirates recently?"
The boss didn't expect Qi Ye to ask this. He snorted coldly and replied unhappily: "How do I know?"
Qi Ye was not fooled, he continued to ask: "You have collected all kinds of objects here, but you have not seen strange things?"
The pawnshop sounds like other companies, and they all want to make the most profit. The kind of transactions from improper business can often make the pawnshop have the best interests. The boss and Qi Ye are also familiar acquaintances. He glanced at Qi Ye and asked curiously, "Which powerful man wants to ask this?"
