"Twenty-two thousand taels... is quite a lot." Pei Runze said.
Pei Youjing was still stunned. This girl actually made 80,000 taels selling goods last year? She didn't see Guangfeng Shui selling anything expensive. They were all mass goods.
According to this, if you go to sea this year and you can't come back, do you really have to save two years of money and have enough money to go to sea again?
Pei Runze was shocked when he heard Huo Xi's plan.
He had just been discussing matters with Huo Zhong in the study. Hearing that Huo Xi had come to the house, he thought of coming over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he heard her and her son discussing going to sea.
This kid didn't just watch others go to sea and follow others with envy, but he actually made a detailed plan.
Give yourself three chances? It seems that this kid is really clear-headed.
"If 120,000 taels is not enough to hire someone to buy a ship and store goods, then I will add another 30,000 taels. For the follow-up matter, Guangfeng Water will not be hurt if it takes tens of thousands of taels. In the early stage, I only prepared 150,000 taels.
, I don’t plan to invest more, so I plan to find a few more companies to cooperate with. We have already roped in Langguang Pavilion, and we will find two to three more companies, which should be enough.”
"Langguang Pavilion? Did you drag Langguang Pavilion to go to sea with you?" Pei Runze was very surprised. Did he hear wrongly? Is it the Langguang Pavilion?
Pei Youjing opened her mouth even more.
Langguang Pavilion suddenly emerged and opened up a new front in the capital in just two years. No one knew who was behind it. The president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce even came to visit in person and did not see the owner behind it.
I heard he was a wealthy businessman from the north, and his connections behind him were very strong.
I didn’t expect that this little girl could win over Langguang Pavilion to work together?
"Did you really convince Langguang Pavilion to go to sea together?" Pei Youjing didn't believe it.
"It sells high-quality goods in the inner city and can be customized. As long as you give money, you can help find things. That Langguang Pavilion?"
Huo Xi tilted her head and glanced at him: "Is there a second Langguang Pavilion in the capital?"
Well……
This sister can do it. She actually knows the people in Langguang Pavilion and can persuade Langguang Pavilion to go to sea together. If the proprietor behind Langguang Pavilion hadn't spoken out, could the person in charge have easily accepted this?
Awesome, my sister.
"Sister, please introduce the owner of Langguang Pavilion to your brother."
"I don't know their owner. Some of the goods I exchanged were sold to Langguang Pavilion. I could still talk to their manager for a few words. One time when we talked about the goods, I said I wanted to go to sea.
He said let’s go together.”
Since Mu Yan wanted to hide it, she would hide it for him. As a hostage, it was inconvenient for him to do things in the capital and it was not appropriate for him to show his face.
Huo Xi has no intention of offending Jin Thigh now.
Pei Youjing was a little disappointed, but thinking about it, even her family couldn't recognize the character on the card. How could she recognize him as a fisherman with no background.
Pei Runze was looking at Huo Xi, and he didn't think Huo Xi knew the proprietor behind Langguang Pavilion.
But there is something admirable and pitiful about this child. Maybe the steward of Langguang Pavilion thinks as much of her as he does, so he accepted her offer.
We originally had a ship sailing overseas last year, and we originally planned to wait for the ship to come back this year. But now that Langguang Pavilion wants to go to sea together, we are not going to let go of such a good opportunity.
In this way, we can also make good friends with Langguang Pavilion.
The Pei family now has a big business and a lot of people are watching them. It would be good for their family if they could make good friends with more powerful people.
After thinking about it, he asked: "Did Langguang Pavilion tell me which route it wanted to go to?"
Nowadays, when going to sea, some go to the East, the South, and the West. The Pei family's ship last year went to the South.
Huo Xi has already thought about this sea route. She has also compared the advantages of each route. This year she mainly focuses on exploring the route and does not plan to go home. The cycle of Western and Southern Oceans is too long and the variables are huge. This year she
I don't want to go.
"This year I want to go to Dongyang. If everything goes well, I can reach Dongyang in March, or at most half a year. In this case, I can go back and forth in one year. For my first time doing sea trade business, Dongyang has the least risk."
The three people in the hall looked at her.
They were really shocked, and now they believed that this child had really made detailed plans and preparations.
The risk in the East Ocean is small, but it is not as attractive as the Nanyang and Western routes.
But the Pei family has already sailed to Nanyang. In order to make good friends with Langguang Pavilion, if Langguang Pavilion is also willing to go to the East, the Pei family will naturally be willing to join them.
Huo Xi nodded: "Langguang Pavilion has the same idea as me, and decided to go to the East to test the waters first and gain experience."
"Okay, then count it as my Pei family's share."
After the discussion, Pei Runze and Huo Xi both named several potential merchants and prepared to contact them next.
After the negotiation, Pei Youjing sent Huo Xi out. Huo Xi asked him: "You took away your father-in-law's timber purchasing quota, and now your father plans to bring his family to go to sea together? Is there no quarrel between the two of you?"
"There must be some dissatisfaction, but what can I do? His daughter is already married, so he can't return it. I have nothing to lose. If he wants to return everything, he can return it."
"Are you willing?"
"I don't want to give it up. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and I can't bear to return the goods. In the future, I will be the head of the family, and his grandson of the Wan family will also be the next head of the family. He can only hold it in if he feels uncomfortable. Besides, who told him and his wife
You are stingy, in order to prevent the fat water from falling into other people's fields, my son-in-law helps to eat it, it is better than letting others eat it, right?"
Moreover, merchants like them are married to each other and their interests are tied together. It is a mess that cannot be untied. Of course, if there is any benefit, they must first take care of their own people.
After seeing Huo Xi off, Pei Youjing went to his father's study.
His father and Huo Zhong were talking about Huo Xi.
"This Huo Xi is the most powerful little lady I have ever seen. In just a few years, Guangfeng Shui has established a firm foothold in Beijing. Moreover, it can also spend 150,000 yuan on its own without using the money in the shop.
We both have to go to sea. The rest of our lives will be scary."
Pei Runze clicked his tongue and sighed.
Huo Zhong couldn't help but think about the scene a few years ago when she took her uncle to the pier to carry bags. At that time, she felt that this child had a method for doing things. While others were slumped on the ground waiting for the boat, she walked around to see their luck.
It depends on what kind of goods and what prices, and how people trade.
But at that time, I didn't expect that this little lady would reach where she is now.
"I didn't expect that she actually knew people from Langguang Pavilion and persuaded them to go to sea together." Huo Zhong shook his head and laughed.
"The owner behind Langguang Pavilion must have a great background. If we make friends with him, it will be of great benefit to our business. We are merchants, and we spend a lot of money every year on making connections. If we
If there is someone behind us who can help us at critical moments, our business will not be afraid of being suppressed."
Seeing his son coming in, he ordered: "Go to your father-in-law's house in person, ask your father-in-law if he wants to go to sea together? Although he was stingy last time, we couldn't do anything if we cut Hu off from him.
It’s beautiful, just to make up for it.”
"Okay. I'll go there in person later."
On the other hand, Huo Xi also passed the news to the shopkeeper Dui Da of Langguang Pavilion.
