Chapter 745 Eight major Shanxi merchants, involved in the net
Foreign trade business is also an important business of Wan San Qian Yulong Chamber of Commerce.
Although "exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes" are extremely heavy in foreign trade, it has to be said that the interests behind it still make countless people jealous, making businessmen from the Central Plains and Beidi keep rushing here like sideburns.
As for the development and growth of the Yulong Chamber of Commerce with a population of 3,000, the foreign trade business plays an important role.
The Yulong Chamber of Commerce is located in the first branch of Da Cang Ba Da, one of which is located in the land of Shanyin.
Of course, those businessmen would not give up such an opportunity during the snowstorm on the grassland. They all gathered near the border and waited eagerly.
However, there was an overwhelming fight on the Yanbei Road, and the mutual trading place was temporarily closed. The external commercial activities of the Yanwai Road were also directly cut off because of this war.
Therefore, those merchants who had already smelled the fishy smell naturally changed places and gathered one by one in Shanyin, waiting for a good opportunity to sell the goods they had accumulated.
Although Beidi and Yanbei are now at war, it still does not affect their waiting to make a good profit.
As long as Beidi cannot break through the Tianlang Pass, there will naturally be a chance to push them to the last moment during this snowstorm, and when they are pushed to the last moment, they businessmen will naturally become the other party's last choice.
When they think that their daily grain and grass will soon be sold for the price of gold, how can these merchants not stay at the border with red eyes and wait for the opportunity to come?
When Wan Sanqian was first summoned, his implanted identity was that of a member of the Luo Net. However, Wang Yu later separated him from the Luo Net and specifically allowed him to develop business and provide services for the people.
He provides financial support.
In fact, at least 50% of the revenue of the Thirteen Thousand Yulong Chamber of Commerce is used for the development of Luowang. It is precisely because of the Yulong Chamber of Commerce that Luowang can be among the seven dynasties and the four barbarians.
The room is fully expanded.
The remaining 50%, a considerable proportion, needs the Yulong Chamber of Commerce for its own maintenance. The part that can really be supplied to Wang Yu, excluding the snare, is actually very small.
In the final analysis, although Wan Sanqian became independent from the snare, the one who benefited the most from Wan Sanqian was still the snare.
Luowang benefited not only from financial support from Wansanqian, but also from the development of the intelligence network. A large part of the external development of Luowang Intelligence Network was due to the external development of Wansanqian Yulong Chamber of Commerce.
Developed.
Yao Guangxiao's plan for Beidi was inseparable from the support of Luo Wang, and the person in charge of Luo Wang in Beidi, Beidi Governor Li Mibi, was like a cat that smelled a fishy smell. Of course he realized that this was Luo Wang's development and growth in Beidi.
Chance.
It is precisely because of Li Mibi that Wan Sanqian originally planned to cooperate with several top businessmen in Beidi, but now they have become several emerging business forces that are on the rise!
As long as Yao Guangxiao solves the Beiming family, at that time, the Beiming family can naturally take over all the results from Wan Sanqian's hands, bear that name with peace of mind, and they will help the Beiming family with substantial actions.
Done.
Moreover, in order to use such a huge batch of supplies to carry out commercial cooperation with Beidi, no one in the entire Da Cang, except the four major imperial merchants, could raise such a large amount of supplies in a short period of time.
The reason why Li Mibi suggested not to cooperate with the top northern business forces, but to cooperate with several rising business forces, was that these companies were in the process of rapid rise.
It is precisely because these companies are in the process of rapid rise that the net is convenient. They take this opportunity to infiltrate the opponent's body. In the process of the other party's rapid rise, the net attached to the other party's forces will also further develop and grow.
.
With the rapid rise of new forces, the interests of the old forces must be conflicted. Only in such conflicts can the Yulong Chamber of Commerce further develop commercial activities in Beidi and further develop the Yulong Chamber of Commerce.
The main people negotiating with Wan Sanqian this time were Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa.
These eight people represent the newly emerging business forces in Beidi within the sphere of influence of the Luotang tribe. Moreover, these eight people are also all system figures. They were all involved in one or several random summons.
Hidden Figures in.
These eight people were all famous representatives of Shanxi merchants in history. Several of them were among the eight major Shanxi merchants in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, they were among the top 16 large financial groups in the country.
They are all in Shanxi. Shanxi merchants are firmly at the top of the country's business gangs and have dominated the business community for more than 500 years. Among the prominent groups of Shanxi merchants, the eight Shanxi merchants are famous. For example, Fan Yongdou, his Fan family is the most famous among the eight Shanxi merchants.
To have a role to play.
During the glorious period, Shanxi merchants were dominant in China, well-known in Europe and Asia, and their brilliant achievements attracted attention at home and abroad. From Guangdong and Guangxi in the south to Kyakhta in the north, trade routes, camel gangs, and boat gangs spread all over the country to create commodity flow and logistics.
With the support, the business of Shanxi merchants grew bigger and bigger. Within a certain period of time, Shanxi merchants were a symbol of wealth. The famous Qiao Family Courtyard, Chang Family Manor, Cao Family Sanduo Hall, and Wang Family Courtyard all symbolized the peak period.
The glory and wealth of Shanxi merchants.
Comrades who have watched the TV series "Qiao Family Courtyard" should have a preliminary understanding of Shanxi merchants. In particular, the protagonist Qiao Zhiyong in the TV series is chivalrous and tender, with a bodhisattva heart. He sacrifices his life and blood for the country and the people, and does not hesitate to family wealth.
Very nationalistic and patriotic. From the business purpose of "integrity and unity" of Shanxi merchants, we may think that Shanxi merchants have always been so sentimental about family and country and dare to assume historical responsibilities and missions.
But this was not the case for Shanxi merchants in history. In the late Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants were called traitors of that era precisely because they ignored national interests and pursued wealth and profits, destroying the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.
To a certain extent, it helped the rising Manchu Qing Dynasty and supported the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. These businessmen, who were as eager for profit as hamsters, became the most despised gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty.

They built an impregnable Guanning line of defense. In the end, the Ming Dynasty perished, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not break through this line of defense.
Military defense is only the first step. The most important thing for the Ming Dynasty is to refer to the historical Central Plains regime and control the lifeline of the northern nomads. That is, the northern nomads belong to a nomadic culture and do not have various light industries, handicrafts, or smelting.
There was no craftsmanship, not even textile craftsmanship, and food was in short supply. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty unilaterally closed the trade gateways for the Jurchens. This was used to trap the Jurchen regime, which had a low economic level and lack of supplies, in the Northeast.
However, the Guanning defense line built by Sun Chengzong blocked the fierce Jurchen cavalry, but failed to prevent the greedy Central Plains merchants. The merchant group led by the eight Shanxi merchants, represented by Fan Yongdou, continued to supply goods to Mongolia through its trade routes throughout Mongolia.
Houjin supplies blood.
They purchased supplies from all over the country, under the guise of doing business with the border troops, and then went north from the Shanxi port, passing through Mongolia and detouring to Zhangjiakou, where they did business with the Jurchens from afar in Zhangjiakou, which was controlled by Mongolia.
All materials embargoed by the Ming Dynasty were tools for them to make huge profits. The Manchu Qing Dynasty purchased precious ironware, arms and military products, as well as grain and grass from Shanxi merchants. In other words, it was Shanxi merchants who solved the problem.
The urgent need of Hou Jin Dynasty, and as a result, he made a huge fortune from the war, and at the same time pushed the Ming Dynasty into the abyss.
Moreover, in order to please the Jurchens, these merchants not only traded goods, but also provided relevant internal intelligence of the Ming Dynasty.
The Shanxi merchant group represented by these eight people, after being born, were basically implanted in Beidi. They are the descendants of those people who failed in the struggle in the Central Plains and left Beidi.
