Chapter 273 Let you pretend to be a pirate, not let you really rob
The so-called next step plan is actually nothing more than making profits from business.
As the population of Qiongzhou Prefecture increases, the responsibilities it bears are also increasing. It is no exaggeration to say that money is spent like water.
Although the existing industry profits are not small, they may be cut off at any time. As long as the prince breaks out and seizes the shares of Shengfa Company, they will immediately face the risk of the capital chain being broken.
Therefore, it is still necessary to plan ahead and develop other industries, and Shengfa Department Store, which cooperates with Xu Bancheng, is one of them.
In addition, products on the island also need to be sold.
In fact, there are no other products on the island except colored glaze. However, today's colored glaze production technology has become more and more mature. Craftsmen can now produce colored glaze products in various shapes, which are almost the same as modern glass crafts.
.
Yang Xuan loaded a boat full of glazed products and prepared to sail to Yuezhou.
But before setting off, he ran into Wang Hai who had just returned from the sea.
Wang Hai was so impatient that he took his pirates out to sea just after the New Year.
I usually go out for less than ten days and half a month before I can come back, but this time I came back within less than five days of going to sea.
Seeing Wang Hai's ship docking, Yang Xuan simply waited before leaving, just in time to explain something to him.
But when Wang Hai's ships docked, Yang Xuan saw a different ship.
It was a merchant ship, a merchant ship from overseas.
Judging from the arrangement of the ships, the merchant ship was under duress.
Soon the ship docked, and Wang Hai appeared on the deck of the merchant ship, escorting a Hu merchant and proudly greeting Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan frowned when he saw it. He asked you to pretend to be a pirate. Who asked you to really become a pirate and dare to hijack a merchant ship? This guy needs to be beaten hard.
"Mist Yang, is that you? Mist Yang, please help me."
When Hu Shang saw Yang Xuan, he suddenly became excited and waved to Yang Xuan.
Only then did Yang Xuan look at the Hu businessman carefully, and it took him a while to recognize him: "Leonardo, is that you?"
"It's me, it's me, Mist Young."
Leonardo, who had just gotten off the boat, struggled desperately and ran towards Yang Xuan.
Wang Hai naturally saw that this Hu businessman knew Yang Xuan, otherwise how could Leonardo, who was like a chicken, break free from his hands.
"It's so nice to meet you here, Mist Young, do you know that pirate?"
Yang Xuan nodded, and then asked: "Didn't you always go to Wusongkou in the past? How could you come here?"
Leonardo said with a sad face: "I don't know what's going on. Wusongkou won't let my ship dock, so I can only go all the way south. The ports along the way won't let us dock. I'm walking.
I just got here and was robbed by that pirate gentleman."
Seeing him looking like he was about to cry, Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, this is my territory. Here, I guarantee that you and your goods will be fine. Take a walk, I'll be looking for you."
Let’s talk about a deal.”
Leonardo followed Yang Xuan to the Liulichang with doubts and saw the glass products that the workers were making.
"Mister Yang, I didn't expect you to have mastered this technology." Leonardo's eyes flashed: "Mister Yang, is this the deal you are talking about?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
Leonardo said: "But this thing is not a rare thing over there. We prefer rich tea and porcelain."
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid that's not necessarily true. You can't even make porcelain, let alone such exquisite glass products."
Leonardo smiled awkwardly: "Mister Yang, what price do you plan to sell these exquisite glazed products?"
Yang Xuan smiled slightly: "I am the only one in the world who can sell such exquisite glass products at a higher price than porcelain when shipped to your country. We are partners who have cooperated many times, and I will naturally not let you suffer in terms of price.
, only slightly higher than porcelain.”
Leonardo laughed. He didn't know the value of this thing. What he said just now was just to lower the price. Now that the goal was achieved, a smile appeared on his lips.
"But the cargo on my ship..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything you have on board." Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Dasheng won't let you dock. From now on, you just need to transport your things to me. I want them all."
"That's great." Leonardo's eyes narrowed and he immediately stretched out his hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
“A pleasure to work with!”
The next step was unloading and loading. The cargo on Leonardo's ship was unloaded on Yang Xuan's ship. All the glass products on Yang Xuan's ship were loaded on his ship. In addition, hundreds of kilograms of tea were also given to him. Leonardo also
Smiling from ear to ear.
On the other side, Yang Xuan called Wang Hai over: "What's wrong with you? You were asked to pretend to be a pirate, how come you really became a pirate?"
Wang Hai chuckled: "Isn't this convenient for me? You said it was a merchant ship without even a guard, and I felt itchy for a moment."
"If you have itchy hands, go fight pirates. We are doing serious business, so don't mess around with me."
"As commanded."
"But you got it right this time. Whenever you encounter a Hu merchant's ship in the future, you can invite us here, and we can also trade with him."
"ah?"
"Ah, what? Remember, it's a invitation, not a robbery. If you don't want to come, you need to persuade me nicely. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand. I understand."
Wang Hai nodded and bowed, and then asked cautiously: "But what if you refuse to come even if you try to persuade me nicely?"
"You are stupid, you just said that if you invite him to be a guest, we will not buy or sell by force."
Wang Hai was confused. This seemed to be the same as what he did today, but it was just a different way of saying it.
"I know what's going on in your mind. You're robbing me without giving me money. I'm doing business with you and I'm giving you money. Do you understand? What we want to do is a long-term transaction."
"Oh oh oh, I really understand this time."
"In order to maintain the safety of the waterway, you first focus on clearing out all the pirates nearby. If you are short of people or equipment, just ask."
Yang Xuan looked in the direction of the sea: "I want to make you the most powerful pirate in this sea area."
Wang Hai was secretly stunned. This Mr. Yang, although he sounds nice, is actually more ruthless than me.
Leonardo returned with a full load of cargo, and Yang Xuan also loaded several ships of cargo and set off.
His ship had a pass issued by the Municipal Shipping Department. If the prince really dared to target him, he wouldn't mind exposing the prince's scandals.
After the ship docked, Yang Xuan saw Xu Bancheng for the first time after the New Year, but found that he had black circles under his eyes.
