Chapter 468 You’re here, let’s go and have a look (1st update)
If they had said that to Tan Zhen, Tan Zhen would have spat at Xingzi and then walked away.
But the question is, the person in front of me is my savior and lucky star Gao Zhang.
Tan Zhen restrained himself, took the copy of "Jiangnan Business Daily" from Gao Zhang's leg and looked at it carefully.
Only then did I realize that the "Jiangnan Business News" was completely different from the tabloids I had seen before.
The content inside does not include the foreign and international current affairs that are often fabricated in tabloids to sensationalize and attract attention.
They are all full of useful information. The contents below describe the price fluctuations in the Jiangnan region in recent months.
No matter whether it is food or oil and salt, of course, the Suzhou government is very wrong about what supporting policies are in place for industry and commerce in the Suzhou area.
It is very likely that in Bianliang, Tokyo, it is clear which type of product is in high demand.
In addition, various factories are currently under construction in the Suzhou area, which requires a large number of migrant workers.
Furthermore, the Suzhou government announced that the official road from Suzhou, through Xiuzhou, to Hangzhou is now being renovated.
As of now, the staged construction from Suzhou to Wujiang Duanya has been completed, etc...
Otherwise, Tan Zhen saw some advertisements for some famous Suzhou specialties.
The most eye-catching thing about him is the content of the novel "The Romance of the Gods" being serialized here.
The bizarre story about the foolish and unprincipled Shang King Zhou is really interesting.
Looking at the novel and unique "Jiangnan Business Daily", it was not until Gao Zhang, the champion, coughed forcefully on purpose that Tan Zhen reluctantly woke up from that story.
"Well, I didn't deceive Tan to promote me, right? "Jiangnan Business Daily" has already published two issues in Suzhou.
The sales volume is quite impressive, and even Xiuzhou, Changzhou and other prefectures and counties will start selling it next year."
If the news about the Hangzhou International Commodity Fair is published, it will be distributed through the distribution channel of "Jiangnan Business News".
Entering the areas of other shipping companies and attracting those merchants would not be an official act of the Hangzhou Shipping Department.
At least other shipping companies are not able to stop it. Of course, whether they want to confiscate "Jiangnan Commercial Daily" is another question.
How could Gao Zhang, the governor of Xuanfu and Zhizhi, let officials from various places interfere with his newspaper distribution?
#####
At least for that reason, it makes sense, and if Gao Zhang is willing to do something, Tan Zhen is naturally eager to do so.
"I didn't expect that Gao Xuanfu would be willing to pay so much for his Hangzhou Shipping Company. Our family is truly grateful."
"Tan Tiju's words are serious. Speaking of which, Commander Fang deserves more care and support from me, Tan Tiju."
"Furthermore, there are a lot of businesses that need to go in and out through Hangzhou Xiushi. Thanks to Tan Tiju and me, I can go around here and save a lot of trouble."
"How can I not repay you?"
The matter of receiving people from the east was simple. According to Gao Zhang's suggestion, Tan Zhen decided to open an exhibition hall at the most popular pier in Hangzhou to display those samples.
Brochures and other brochures are also prepared, so that when the maritime merchants arrive, they can immediately learn about the special products of the Hangzhou Shipping Company that can drain their pockets.
Just do what you say, Tan Zhen is a person who is very capable of executing.
A capable person was assigned as soon as possible and he immediately went to the dock to handle the matter.
#####
A barbarian merchant from Maloma, his ship has just arrived at the dock in Hangzhou.
Looking at the newly opened city, there are many docks that seem a bit empty without many merchant ships.
This made Ali extremely happy, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
If the commodity economy there is not prosperous and cannot eat the goods carried by its own ships, it will be impossible to purchase enough goods.
So coming there is equivalent to a trip to Feihong. Just as Ali arrived at the dock from the deck, he saw his interpreter communicating with people there.
Soon, he took a few pieces of paper from the wrong party, and after the two exchanged some words, they walked quickly towards him.
"Boss, did we really make the wrong trip? The Hangzhou Shipping Company has opened a special product exhibition hall next to the pier. All the products in it are special products from Hangzhou."
One of Ali's followers couldn't help but murmured something in a low voice.
"It's not far from the Mingzhou Shipping Department. If there are some there, wouldn't the Mingzhou Shipping Department not have them?"
"He doesn't think there might be those things over there..." The translator Zheng Tong chuckled and handed over the pieces of paper.
"It's the kind of glass mirror that can illuminate people's faces more clearly than a bronze mirror, or the kind of desk clock that can be used to keep time..."
"You are all here, so let's go and have a look. After all, they come to Hangzhou just to see if there are any good opportunities."
Ali heard what the interpreter said and agreed with the interpreter's suggestion without hesitation. The group of people walked towards a very eye-catching building next to the dock area, which was guarded by the ship's soldiers.
When they arrived at the door, they were stopped and Ali was asked to show his identification first, and then each of the three of them was given a wooden sign with a ribbon to hang on his chest.
There is a wooden sign like that, with no decorations and only three words: Visitor's Pass.
The wrong party told them to hang it around their necks so they could enter the Hangzhou Ships Product Exhibition Hall.
After entering, a smiling clerk greeted him.
Fang Fang deliberately showed the sign on his chest towards the three people. The three big characters "Commentator" on it were very eye-catching.
"Sanwei Rinbin looked at it and saw that he was new. I wonder if we need commentators.
The explanation fee is fifteen cents, and we will accompany you throughout the process to explain the quality, function and other detailed parameters of the products there..."
As a wealthy maritime merchant, he naturally doesn't care about small amounts of money.
After asking again, he saw a merchant in front of him, strolling around accompanied by the commentator with a sign hanging all the way.
After receiving the fifteen cents handed over by Ali's personal attendant, the cashier handed the money to the lap of the cashier on the side.
Then he came and began to lead the three of them for a walk in the large-scale exhibition hall.
After walking a few steps and standing still, he saw a disk about the size of a plate placed in front of him, and in the middle of the disk, there was a needle painted black on one end and red on the other.
There was a sign in front of me with a few lines of simple words written on it.
"Three of you, is that a compass? It is a tool made after improvements made by Simon.
Its practicality, portability and operability are all derived from the characteristics of the Tesinan, and the precise scale is depicted on the surface, with three hundred and sixty degrees as a week..."
