Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 326 Donghai Trading Company
Guangxi two years, August [-]nd.

early morning.

Luoyang City, Dongshi, Jingping Commercial Firm.

Above the lobby of the firm, more than a dozen shopkeepers of the firm sat kneeling on the left and right, and as the big shopkeeper of the firm, Mu Jing sat cross-legged on a high position. He lightly flipped through the ledger in his hand, with a smile inadvertently raised from the corner of his mouth.

"Gong Chang, you did a good job this time!"

Mujing raised his head and looked at Gong Chang: "The timing of the bottom-buying was well grasped, and he was not greedy. From entering to evacuating, he moved quickly and smoothly. Both the concealment and the dispersion were done well, so he was able to be in the gods. Without anyone noticing, he bought 20 shi of grain!"

He has a good plan, but if there is a problem with the execution, it will all be nothing.

Gong Chang's execution ability is not bad.

Not under Zhang Heng, Sun Hao and Xu Lin combined are not as capable as him.

Therefore, in this business war, it seemed that both sides suffered losses on the surface, but he arranged for the final bottom-hunting, which allowed Gong Chang to copy 20 shi of grain at a low price, which was already the biggest harvest.

"Thank you for the praise, big shopkeeper!"

Hearing this, Gong Chang heaved a long sigh of relief, bowed and nodded.

This time he tried his best. The Guanzhong market is so big that any loophole will cause all losses. He was able to win 20 shi of grain at the last moment of the battle between the two sides, which is super-level In fact, he thought that winning 15 stones was already the limit.

"Sun Hao!"

"exist!"

"I've already dispatched the guard camp, and I've ordered Jing Wusi to assist. You go and preside over it yourself, and send this piece of grain into Sishuiguan as soon as possible!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

Taking advantage of the drop in grain prices in Guanzhong, the grain that he won was the grain reserves of Jingping's army, which was enough to guarantee the military grain of Sishuiguan for one year.

"As ordered!"

Sun Hao surrendered his command.

"In addition, the matter of Gong Chang's promotion to the executive shopkeeper will be passed on!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "In the future, this aspect of Jingping Liangdian will be handed over to Gong Chang!"

Executive shopkeeper, that is the head shopkeeper of Jingping Commercial Bank, not the executor, but a decision maker, a position that countless shopkeepers in the commercial firm want to break their heads.

Now Jingping Commercial Bank, in addition to the big shopkeeper Mujing, the three giants at the beginning of the firm, that is, Zhang Heng and Sun Haonai were the executive shopkeepers, and Xu Lin was in charge of the iron smelting workshop. Enthusiasm, just under the name of a supervisory shopkeeper.

Jingping Commercial Bank has conquered Nanyang in recent years, conquered many merchants in Nanyang, and attracted most of Nanyang's business capital, so that it can expand so rapidly, and the number of executable shopkeepers has not increased.

This is the first time that the number of managers has been increased.

"Thank you for the promotion, the shopkeeper. The subordinates should do their best and die for the benefit of the firm!" Gong Chang said excitedly.

By taking this step, he has gained Mujing's trust.

The Gong family will have the day when Dongshan will be together.

"Big treasurer, then there is still a place for the executive treasurer?" Sun Hao is not surprised, he and Gong Chang are old rivals, and Gong Chang has been suppressed for so long because he chose the wrong team at the beginning, but his ability is not good Doubt, and now the firm is no longer a small firm. After walking out of Wuyin, out of Nanyang, and entering Daguanzhong, his vision has also been broadened, and now the strength of the firm is getting bigger and bigger, and the party is gradually forming. He is more optimistic about merchants from Wuyin's native place. This is an inevitable trend of the times because the township party is united. However, this time the executive shopkeeper will be promoted to two, and there is still one seat, he asked cautiously.

"Wancheng Xu Shen!"

Mujing said with a smile.

Xu Shen, a merchant from Wancheng, was the first merchant who chose to join Jingping Trading Company when Jingping Trading Company entered Wancheng. In this Guanzhong grain war, Jingping Trading Company not only made contributions in the front, but also stabilized the backyard The people in this area also have credit, it wasn't Xu Shen who raised funds in Nanyang, how could there be today's great victory in Guanzhong.

"Xu Shen?"

"It's him!"

"The Xu family itself is just a small carpenter, this time it will fly!"

"..."

There was a touch of envy in the words of all the shopkeepers.

"Convey this matter as soon as possible!" Mu Jing stood up and said, "Also, inform Zhang Heng that after the aftermath of the Guanzhong incident, return to Nanyang as soon as possible. The executive shopkeepers of you will meet in Nanyang as soon as possible to discuss future work assignments. I hope that Jingping Commercial Bank can become stronger in the future!"

"promise!"

Sun Hao and Gong Zhang nodded respectfully.

When Mujing left Jingping Firm, Gong Zhang and Sun Hao personally sent it to the door, and Gong Zhang was a little hesitant to say anything.

"Just say anything?" Mu Jing stopped when he got into the carriage.

"Boss shopkeeper, when we buy the bottom, we will show a little trace more or less. If the Guanzhong side knows it, they will know it. It's not a big problem, but the merchants in the East China Sea and the Mi family are our allies. Will they think that our goodwill There is a problem!"

Gong Chang said in a low voice.

If you talk about it, it means that Jingping Trading Company is a bit unkind. Everyone fights together, but you quietly take the biggest profit behind.

"Gong Chang, we are merchants. Merchants have been chasing interests since ancient times. This is instinct!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "Also, Jingping Commercial Bank and Mi's family are just a cooperative relationship. We are not one. We will not cross rivers and tear down bridges. News I also share that I won’t back down when I rush to the front. I think I’m worthy of them, but they don’t think of buying the bottom. That’s their business. "

"Understood!"

Gong Chang nodded.

"However, on the bright side, everyone's face will be lost, so this matter must be hidden, and all the food arrangements should be made as soon as possible, and no excuses can be left behind!" Mu Jing said.

"Report to the shopkeeper, I will personally transport the grain back to Sishuiguan as soon as possible!" Sun Hao took the order.

*********************
Hanoi, Chaoge City.

In a big mansion, merchants from the East China Sea gathered together at this time, their faces were mixed with joy and sorrow, some were happy, some were sad and angry.

"This time, our Yue family lost more than 100 gold in the food war in Guanzhong!"

"It's all the Mi family's fault!"

"I can't blame the Mi family for this. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, whoever is right, if the price isn't lowered later, all of us can make a lot of money!"

"You, Mr. Zhao, don't have a back pain when you talk. Your Zhao Family Grain Shop has established a solid foundation in Hanoi County by opening a warehouse to release grain. In the future, taking the business route of Hanoi will have considerable long-term benefits!"

"You can't blame me for this. When the Mi family ordered the price to be lowered, you were the ones who didn't want to lower the price!"

"Hey, it's all because of our greed!"

"Fortunately, our Qi family listened to Patriarch Mi's words, lowered the price in advance, won the hearts of the people, and barely gained a firm foothold in several grain shops around the capital!"

"..."

Merchants in the East China Sea, you say what you say, and some people lament, while others rejoice.

At this moment, the door opened, and a dusty figure came in from the outside. This was a young man, but he held a high status in the hearts of all the merchants in the Eastern Sea, and they got up quickly.

"Meet Patriarch Mi!"

All the merchants saluted this figure one after another.

"You are welcome!"

Mi Zhu caught up from Chang'an. The main battlefields of the East China Sea merchants were in Hanoi and Henan, while the main battlefield of the Mi family was in Chang'an Jingzhao. The two sides could only communicate with each other through fast horse scouts.

After Mi Zhu entered the lobby, he was not polite at all, and directly sat on top of the middle seat where Dama Jindao sat. The Mi family has always been the head of merchants in the East China Sea. This position is very important. You can't be humble.

After he sat down, his eyes swept away, looked at everyone, and said: "This time, my Mi family is sorry for everyone, and my Mi family will do my best to make up for everyone's losses in the future!"

"Patriarch Mi is too polite!"

"Although we are merchants, we also know that benefits and risks are indispensable. Now that we have come to Guanzhong, we have prepared ourselves. It is impossible to just make profits without the slightest risk!"

"And this time it has nothing to do with Patriarch Mi, but the weather in Guanzhong. If it hadn't been for the rainy season, we would have hurt ourselves!"

"And we are not completely defeated. Although we have lost a lot of funds, many people have gained a firm foundation in Luoyang. This is thanks to Patriarch Mi for giving us the opportunity to open up the situation!"

All the merchants spoke one after another.

"Everyone is generous, Zhu will remember it in his heart!" There was a bitter smile on Mi Zhu's tired expression.

"Patriarch Mi, there is actually one thing that I don't know if I should say it or not?" The person who spoke was Wei Nan, the head of the Wei family in Taishan, and one of the banners of the merchants in the East China Sea. He was based on the sea salt business and involved many aspects of business. Quite accomplished, this time it is the main force.

"Patriarch Wei, please tell me!" Mi Zhu said.

"We have a cooperative relationship with Jingping Trading Company, right!"

"Of course!"

"But I found out that when the price of grain collapsed, someone was stealing the bottom and taking advantage of the low price to absorb the grain. I checked and it should be someone from Jingping Trading Company. Didn't they betray us by doing this?" Patriarch Wei said.

"I already know about this!"

The head of the Mi family sighed. He had already heard people report this matter when he went north. Even the Wei family could find clues, and so could the Mi family. He was a little angry after being surprised, but calmed down after being angry. He said in a loud voice: "Everyone should also be clear that merchants seek profit. Although we and Jingping Trading Co., Ltd. are cooperating, we are not one. They have done everything, shared all the information, and did not stab a knife when fighting side by side. I'm sorry for us, but the low-price bargain hunting is a big benefit. They thought about it, but we didn't think about it. Why should they share it with us? In other words, if we thought about it, we would share this benefit with them. share?"

"This one……"

"probably not!"

All the merchants peeped at each other, and finally said helplessly.

"This can only show that Jingping Trading Company is superior!" Mi Zhu said in a deep voice, "And we are far inferior to them!"

"It's not inferior, it's just that people's hearts are not in harmony!"

A merchant said in a low voice.

"well said!"

Mi Zhu took the case and said: "This time planning the grain market in Guanzhong, let me see the biggest weakness of our East China Sea merchants, we are not united, so even if everyone loses together, Jingping Commercial Bank's profit is only about half of ours, because they We can help each other, but we fight on our own, and we are not as good as others, so I decided to take this opportunity to set up a firm belonging to our Donghai people. What their Jingping Firm can do, our merchants in Donghai can also do Now, I believe that as long as we unite, the merchants in the future will rule the roost, and our East China Sea merchants will be the most!"
