In this era, the business world is like a battlefield, and it is not surprising that traces of the underworld can be seen everywhere.
It's like unloading goods at the dock. Generally speaking, the most powerful ones with good reputations are used first, and the younger brothers who don't have the best reputations stay behind. What happens in an orderly manner according to the prescribed rules... doesn't exist.
Generally speaking, maritime merchants who are particularly powerful, wealthy, and influential will generally have an advantage if they want to do something, not to mention the channels for obtaining and selling goods. In situations such as loading and unloading, these maritime merchants
They often have priority. And the Five Surnames and Qiwang are even more awesome, they have already directly adapted to the priority.
At this moment, it is what the ancients called "the critical autumn of life and death". Unloading is just a little bit slow. Now we are encountering people who "jump in line". How can we not make people angry?
However, the number of ships is huge, and...
Although Butler Liu and Su Dashou were angry, they still instinctively felt in the back of their minds that although these maritime merchants were not a "chamber of commerce", they were "people of the same road" and they all formed a group to do the same thing. This was also
It is equivalent to a big chamber of commerce.
Well... seeing that the other party's men and ships were many times more than their own, although Butler Liu and Su Dashou were angry, they could only let it go and settle the matter safely first, and ignore the rest...
…
Although the unloading was a bit disruptive, it progressed very quickly.
According to estimates by Wang Jing and others, more than 40 cargoes should have been unloaded in five or six days, but it actually took eight days.
This little accident made Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others very angry. Damn, my life was so unlucky. How could unloading be delayed?!
But the current situation is that the situation is stronger than the people. Wang Jing and the others can only tolerate it and wait and see the consequences. Besides, there are other maritime merchants in the port. It is no wonder that Liu Guanjia and Su Dashou and the others are doing the work.
Yes, who can control this? What's more... these merchants came in a swarm, and with such a large number of people here, the pressure of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes may not be easy... Butler Liu and others chose to put peace of mind first.
There's nothing you can do about getting the business done first.
Wang Jing could only lament that this guy was so unlucky that even drinking cold water would seal his teeth.
but……
Although the unloading was not smooth, at any rate, after eight days of hard work, it was completed smoothly. Wang Jing and others were dissatisfied, but after learning the news that the unloading was completed, they felt relieved...
I finally got these goods back. Although I failed to take them out to sea for trade, at least it was done. If I want to go further... what should I go further? The current situation can finally be said to be "stable".
After all, these forty ships of candy and wine have returned safely, so it won’t be...
It's unlikely that it will be shipped back to Datang and not be sold.
During this period, Wang Jing and others sent their servants to the streets and shops in Hangzhou almost every day to buy candies and cheap drinks, just to keep track of prices and consumption levels.
So far, there have been no problems with the candies and cheap wines in Datang, but...
As for maltose and wine, although both are essentially made from food, one has a shelf life similar to that of food, and the other has an unlimited shelf life... they can always be sold!
Therefore, after Wang Jing and others made some calculations, no matter how unlucky this thing was, it should be over this time. The candy and wine were not broken, so they really couldn't sell them.
Although things are rather annoying, for Wang Jing and Pei Ji's group, anyway... we are all old unlucky people, so it would be nice to lose money and cash out. But it really doesn't work...
With the money withdrawn, everyone will go hoard the land and take it down...
This idea suddenly appeared in the minds of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangzhongs, and then it drifted back and forth, becoming clearer and clearer until...
It wasn't until half a month later that Wang Jing and others officially started selling the candy and wine they had on hand.
…
After all, it is a huge word to say "Five Surnames and Qi Wang", although it only has four characters.
But you must know that the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Qinghe... any one of these names will be a giant at the level of Samsung and Apple in later generations. The giants of the world in later generations will be divided by enterprises and industries, but in this era, it is taken for granted.
are divided based on geography.
If we even calculate the proportion of these big guys' sphere of influence in China, then to put it bluntly, their reputation is even higher than that of Apple and Samsung in later generations, and only the military industrial companies of various countries can compete with them.
Therefore, Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng, and Cui Baihe, who have assets in their hands and want to sell a lot of money, will certainly not open a "big herbal medicine shop" like ordinary wealthy families. Instead, they will contact these "big herbal medicine shops" directly.
Merchants from "big herbal medicine shops" shipped the goods in bulk.
but……
It was at this stage that the servants sent out by Wang Jing and others... returned to Su's mansion one after another, but they all brought back the post about the treat!
Not a single one was given away!
This kind of thing simply should not exist in the cognition of Wang Jing and others.
"What?"
Lu Changgeng looked at the name card in his hand with confusion on his face.
This is a post inviting businessmen to come and talk.
However, at this moment... he was brought back by the boy in front of him.
This made Lu Changgeng extremely shocked, even... not even shocked, and he couldn't understand what kind of event this was.
how so???
These businessmen... how dare they delete the post of Wu Surname Qi Wang???
What's going on with these people...
After a long time passed, Lu Changgeng's brain gradually recovered and he gradually understood the situation in front of him!
That's outrageous...
At this time, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others were reciting poems and composing poems in the flower hall.
Although they have been unlucky recently, thinking about it, this mess has come to an end, so Wang Jing and others have gradually relaxed a lot during this period, and Lu Changgeng is no exception.
But at this moment...
But Lu Changgeng is...
The next moment.
Another boy came quickly and stuffed a post in front of him. He couldn't help but bend down to apologize with a look of horror on his face. Apparently...
This is another bounced post!
This means that another maritime merchant has rejected the invitation of Qiwang with the fifth surname.
This time, Lu Changgeng instinctively felt that something was really wrong. If it was strange just now that some maritime merchants were so short-sighted and disrespectful, something was wrong now. It really felt wrong.
And a vague premonition emerged in Lu Changgeng's mind...
At this time, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others also discovered the situation in the quiet path of the flower hall and walked up one after another.
