Chapter 470: The rich businessman who wants to be a second-rate businessman but fails (third update)
Soon, they naturally saw Ali. The eldest merchant among them strode forward and greeted Ali.
When they heard whether he was from Maroma's maritime merchants, they simply told them their plan openly.
"They Ye Yi have 80 ships and almost 3,000 people. If Ali is not willing and I am willing, then add me and they together..."
After hearing the words of the maritime merchant named Faisal, Ali's pupils suddenly shrank.
I don't know if Hong and the others want to eat alone. After all, they can cross thousands of miles of ocean and come to the Song Dynasty to do business. There is no one who is not cruel and cruel.
Regardless of whether they are merchants or not, the goods in their legs and even the ship may have been robbed.
In that vast ocean, there are businesses and pirates living in normal ports.
At that time, one of the maritime merchant's interpreters was walking towards that direction, and soon came close.
"Boss, boss, let me take a look at that quickly?"
Faisal was the owner of the interpreter. Seeing his counterpart's eagerness, he could suppress his impatience and ask what was going on.
"Jiangnan Business Daily told me that the Hangzhou Commodities Expo will be held in Hangzhou in one month."
"Jiangnan Business News..." Feisal received it in his leg. After all, he often ran to the Song Dynasty. He could also recognize the text that was wrong about the Song Dynasty. After scanning it carefully, he saw the eye-catching headline.
The interpreter on the side made a special mention.
"Boss, although the "Jiangnan Commercial Daily" is not a new thing, I heard from the newspaper seller that the "Jiangnan Commercial Daily" will be published in the areas of Zhejiang Road and Fujian Road in the Song Dynasty."
As soon as those words came out, Faisal and the other barbarian merchants who were about to play some dirty tricks suddenly changed their expressions.
They all came together and looked at the newspaper in Feisal's lap. Everyone had already become proficient in writing through their exchanges with Da Song, and naturally they recognized the appearance of the man in front of him.
"...the two Zhejiang roads include Fujian Road, so, in that case, wouldn't it exclude Guangzhou Shipping Company?
Do all the shipping companies in Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Wenzhou of the Song Dynasty know that news?"
"Then they..."
"Then, please don't, they just take the property and collect the "Jiangnan Business News"?"
"But do I know where Jiangnan Business Daily is published?"
"Translator Deng Tong, thank you for your hard work. I'll make another trip. Forget it, let's go and have a look inside Hangzhou together. Does anyone know where Jiangnan Business Daily came from?"
#####
The origin of "Jiangnan Business Daily" was not Suzhou, that was quickly determined.
But there is a very important issue. The diplomatic relations of the Song Dynasty had very strict restrictions on foreign exchanges.
Just like the Hangzhou Maritime Bureau, there are strict regulations. Foreign guests from overseas countries cross the sea to carry their treasures to Hangzhou Maritime Bureau for unpacking, and conduct private transactions.
But no, we can live in the designated fanfang outside Hangzhou, even if we Tibetan merchants want to go to other cities.
But do we need someone to guarantee whether we can do business? The procedure is quite complicated.
Therefore, even if they knew whether "Jiangnan Business Daily" was in Suzhou, it would be difficult to acquire it in a short time.
Faisal, Ali and others looked at each other, except for sighing, but there was nothing they could do.
As a profit-seeking businessman, Bu Nao cannot be tough and has weak legs.
Just like Ali, he decided to sell all the goods in his ship in the shortest possible time, and then immediately went south to Mingzhou Port to find some familiar maritime merchants there to lend money.
After all, if you want to buy goods, you must have enough capital. After those barbarian maritime merchants who first arrived in Hangzhou saw the unique charm of Hangzhou's commodity market.
It's already time to start making various calculations and operations.
"Jiangnan Business Daily" was only a few months behind Hangzhou and more than ten months behind Hangzhou, and it made a grand debut in the cities where shipping companies are located.
It directly attracted the attention of the barbarian maritime merchants who were engaged in trade in various shipping companies.
Even the merchants of the Song Dynasty on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road all brightened up and started thinking.
After all, the merchants of the Song Dynasty did not work alone, and it was normal to communicate with each other. They also knew through their own channels whether the Hangzhou Shipping Department had prepared a lot of good treasures.
The key point needs to be drawn here. Many good things can be obtained from the Suzhou Weaving Factory.
In this case, it is better for everyone to rush to Suzhou first to see if there is any chance to intercept it in advance.
Then it would be okay to become a second-rate dealer and sell it to those barbarian maritime merchants.
All in all, the commodity exhibition hall at Hangzhou Wharf is more and more lively every day.
The land and sea routes leading to Hangzhou are also becoming more and more noisy.
As for the products in Suzhou, they are indeed the designated suppliers of the Hangzhou International Commodity Fair.
Therefore, before the Hangzhou International Commodity Fair opens, no one can buy a piece of cloth or a piece of ready-made clothing from the Suzhou weaving factory or the factories in Qidong...
#####
Of course, it does not mean that no one wants to take the wrong way, whether he wants to bribe, or whether he wants to take other ways.
It turned out that the backer of the Suzhou Weaving Factory and other factories was none other than Gao Zhang, the child prodigy who put down the Zhu family rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River.
Then let a group of wealthy businessmen from Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road rest their thoughts for the time being.
Could it be that the child prodigy who became the number one scholar at the age of eleven had just put an end to the Zhu Family Rebellion in Jiangnan?
In the whole of Jiangnan, it can be said that he is very popular. As for Suzhou, many people have already built shrines and offered incense to the twelve-year-old prodigy.
He has a very high reputation in Suzhou and Zhejiang Road. What's more, the Zhu family and his son in the past month cannot afford to offend him or anyone else.
Can the No. 1 Scholar be able to uproot the influence of the Zhu family and his son in less than half a year?
Therefore, even if a group of wealthy businessmen had resentments in their hearts, they had honestly come east and waited calmly for the Hangzhou International Commodity Expo.
Gao Tao was aware of what happened outside the city of Suzhou, so there was no need for him to intervene in such a thing.
He is working on a more important matter, which is whether to expand the Jiangnan Shipyard in Fushan Town, Suzhou.
There used to be a shipyard there, and it was the Zhu family's property that was already the property to the east of the Kaifeng Metal Workshop.
After all, Gao Zhang was not responsible for the pre-war settlement of post-war assets, nor was he the governor of Suzhou.
It can be said that Gao Taoji will take a good look at the Zhu family's property first, and if he feels it is suitable, he will put his left leg over the right leg.
