Zhao Tai reached a cooperation with Zhu Wei and asked him to be the general agent of the Cathay Chamber of Commerce. However, in order to avoid being controlled by one company, Zhao Tai will also support several special agents in Chuzhou, Lin'an and other places who can directly obtain goods.

In this way, Zhu Wei can't blackmail him, and Zhao Tai can take the profits he wants.

Zhu Wei's Huiyuan trading company can only be regarded as a second-rate trading company in Yangzhou. However, he has his own stores in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River and even Jinghu, and is able to sell Zhao Tai's goods everywhere.

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "I wish you to prepare well and deliver goods to those merchants who have been waiting for a long time."

Zhu Wei knew that Zhao Tai had been building momentum for many days, and now traders in Yangzhou were looking for sources of soap. Once he took over, he would immediately make a fortune, which was equivalent to giving him money.

The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious for a while, and Zhu Wei said that he would eat all the goods in Zhao Tai's hands and pay for next month's goods in advance.

In addition, in order to thank Jia Sidao for being the matchmaker, Kuo Duan also expressed that he would give Jia Sidao half of the shares, intending to gain protection from Concubine Jia.

At this time, after talking about selling goods, Zhao Tai asked: "Exceptor Zhu, do you, Huiyuan Company, do the grain and oil business?"

Zhu Wei put down his wine glass and said, "Master Zhao wants to purchase grain and oil."

Zhao Tai nodded, "Yes, I need a large amount of food and oil every month. If Huiyuan can do it, I will give it to Huiyuan."

Zhu Wei felt that he was so happy today. He originally thought of currying favor with Jia Sidao and prepared to do the bloodletting himself, but he didn't expect that he would make a lot of money instead.

The market in the Southern Song Dynasty has been basically a stagnant water for many years. All kinds of businesses have been divided up by several major chambers of commerce. There are no new growth points. The profits of various chambers of commerce have not increased for some years.

Now that Zhao Tai has not only brought soap and developed new products, but also purchased grain and oil on a large scale, Huiyuan Hao's profits will definitely increase explosively, and there will be no problem in becoming a first-class chamber of commerce.

Zhu Wei's face flushed, "We at Huiyuan Hao are naturally engaged in the grain and oil business. If you can give the order to us at Huiyuan Hao, I can give you the lowest price."

Zhao Tai was quite happy when he heard this, "Come and have a drink! We have a happy cooperation."

The three of them ate and drank until midnight before Zhao Tai and Jia Sidao left Zhu Mansion and returned to Huiyuan to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhu Wei came to Huiyuan with his accountant and quickly signed a contract with Zhao Tai.

In this way, Zhao Tai and Zheng Wei agreed to deliver the goods in Chuzhou and then prepare to return to Chuzhou.

After Zhu Wei got the supply, he immediately sent word that Huiyuan had the goods. Vendors in Yangzhou City immediately came to buy them. In just one morning, they sold 100,000 yuan.

Zhu Wei purchased the goods for 38 cents, excluding the cost of 2 cents, and shipped the goods for 55 cents. After just a few passes, he made a huge profit of 1,500 cans in half a day.

The merchants in Yangzhou City are very well-informed. When the major chambers of commerce heard that the Huiyuan account had made nearly a thousand dollars in half a day, they immediately couldn't sit still.

On this day, as soon as Zhao Tai was about to leave, someone sent him a greeting card and invited him to dinner.

When Zhao Tai saw it, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Zhao Hu asked: "Master, who invites you to dinner?"

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Yang Wannian, the owner of the Dongsheng."

In the afternoon, the Yang family's carriage stopped outside Huiyuan. Zhao Tai was asked to get on the carriage, and then it was driven outside the best restaurant in Yangzhou City.

When Zhao Tai got off the carriage, he saw an old man in gorgeous clothes standing at the door of the palace, smiling and holding his hands, "Master Zhao, I, Yang Wannian, have long admired your name!"

Zhao Tai smiled slightly and said, "Yang Yuan's name is like thunder to my ears."

Yang Wannian immediately turned sideways and said, "I'm preparing a banquet. Mr. Zhao invites you!"

When the next group of people came to the private room, they saw that the table was filled with wine and food, all of which were Yangzhou's famous dishes.

Yang Wannian asked Zhao Tai to sit down and ordered him a few glasses of wine. After the atmosphere became more harmonious, he asked, "I invited the young master over today because I actually have something to ask."

Zhao Tai smiled with a smile on his face, "Oh, what's the matter? You can tell Yuanwai Yang directly."

Yang Wannian smiled and said: "I wonder if Cathay still has soap supplies. Can you give us Dongsheng some?"

The original industries of the Southern Song Dynasty had long been saturated, and the major chambers of commerce were guarding their own territories, with no new profit growth for several years.

Now Huiyuanhao sells soap and makes thousands of dollars in half a day. It won't be so popular later, but if you can make tens of thousands of dollars in a month, there will definitely be no problem.

The Huiyuan has found this new profit, and it will definitely surpass the Dongsheng in a few years.

This made Yang Wannian a little anxious, so he hoped to get a piece of the pie.

When Zhao Tai heard this, he shook his head and said regretfully: "Yang Yuanwai, you are a little late. I have signed a three-year agency contract with Zheng Yuanwai from Huiyuan Company. From now on, all goods produced by Cathay Trading Company will be entrusted to Huiyuan.

Yuanhao sells it. If you want the goods, you can only go to Huiyuanhao, become their subordinate agent, and get the goods from Huiyuanhao."

The corner of Yang Wannian's mouth twitched and he asked him to be the subordinate agent of Dongsheng Company and Huiyuan Company. Isn't that a joke?

"Haha~" Yang Wannian smiled and took a sip from his wine glass, "Mr. Zhao, our Dongsheng number is actually better than the Huiyuan number in all aspects. Why don't you cooperate with our Dongsheng number?"

What Zhao Tai was waiting for was his words, "Haha~ Actually, the first thing I looked for was the Dongsheng!"

Yang Wannian raised his eyebrows, "The first person Mr. Zhao came to find was us, why didn't I know?"

Zhao Taidao: "Dongshenghao is the largest business house in Yangzhou. If I want to do business, I naturally go to Dongshenghao first. I'm just a shopkeeper of your company. Alas, it's all over now, so I won't mention it!"

Yang Wannian's face darkened, but he asked: "Master Zhao, please tell me what's going on!"

Zhao Tai could only reluctantly tell what happened that day, "If the business can be successful, I will talk to you about the soap, but it's a pity that it didn't happen. I was also discriminated against by him, saying that I was a reformed person."

.”

Yang Wannian immediately became furious: "What's the name of that shopkeeper? I'll handle it immediately."

Zhao Tai waved his hand with a big belly, "Haha, Mr. Yang, you don't have to be like this, it's not a big deal. The shopkeeper's name seems to be Yang Fu, I can't remember clearly."

Yang Wannian couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Damn house slave!"

After he finished scolding, he waved his hand, called a subordinate, and gave a few instructions in a low voice.

Before Zhao Tai and Yang Wannian had finished eating, Yang Fu came to the private room.

There was a red handprint on his face, and the slave girl knelt down and slapped her mouth, "Mr. Zhao, I'm here to apologize to you. It's my fault. I can't see Taishan. I shouldn't make you angry. I should be beaten. I should be beaten."
