I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 629, the prosperous Jiaozhou business
But Lu Bu didn't know that the 100 bags of spices from the shopkeeper Dagan were only worth ten pieces of linen. Spices are naturally worth more than gold in Dahan, but they are like weeds on the Spice Island. Savages usually use them for burning. The caravans from the Spice Island, as long as they take out a piece of sackcloth and hire the wild men on the island to pick it up, they can pick up several bags in a day.

And coming to Jiaozhou to exchange hundreds of savages is already a huge profit. As long as he transports these 100 savages to Yizhou, he can not only sell them to the local government at a high price, but also get a share of 100 shi brown sugar. This is considered a profit.

After his team filled Yizhou with brown sugar, as well as the island's special camphor and buckskin, they could earn millions of dollars just by selling them in the Dagan territory where they were transported.Then transport some grain, ironware, linen and other materials from Dagan, and sell them to Yizhou, which will cost several million dollars. It can be said that Yizhou is an indispensable transfer station, and he has formed a closed road along the way. The triangular trade circle, each stop can earn millions of dollars.A single trip can earn tens of millions of dollars.

It can be said that this is the most profitable business path in Daqian territory.And the goods among them are also the most valuable. There are savages, brown sugar, and spices, each of which can be said to be priceless and indispensable. It is these luxury specialties that produce such a profitable golden waterway.

To say that the only people with many waterways are merchants.Such a high profit makes the entire merchants crazy. If it is not for the ocean trade, there are certain restrictions. There is no merchant ship that can sail the ocean, so it is impossible to join in. I am afraid that there will be sea-going ships on the coast of Dahan now. .

So the shopkeeper is also secretly regretting that they can't monopolize this business. Otherwise, he can make hundreds of millions of money, not to mention making tens of millions of dollars. Originally, Jiaozhou's spices cost tens of thousands of dollars a catty, but Now there is only a thousand dollars, because many merchant ships have come to Jiaozhou before him, and they have traded hundreds of thousands of shi of spices. The influx of spices has directly reduced the price of Jiaozhou spices by [-]%, so the shopkeeper It's a pity that all the caravans of Daqian know this place.He can only earn some hard-earned money in this way.

The profit was reduced by [-]%, and the shopkeeper felt that he had lost [-] million yuan, and his heart was instantly distressed!
Half a day later, the shopkeeper recovered and yelled: "You can put up any precious goods you have. I will exchange them all with spices. I am not afraid to tell you that this time I brought tens of thousands of stones of spices. It's up to you." Do you have the ability to trade all away!"

Jiaozhou's specialty products are also extremely valuable in Dagan. Whether it is bought to Yizhou or Dagan inland, he can earn 10 times the profit. He can only use Jiaozhou's specialty products to find a way to make up for his lost profits.

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, other big businessmen also put their goods on it.Some of them are the same as the shopkeeper just now, and they also get savages. If there is no way, Jiaozhou has a lot of savages. The development of Jiangnan has even made these savages a specialty of Jiaozhou. Most of the local tycoons are doing this business.Others brought out precious medicines from Jiaozhou, timber, ivory, rhinoceros horn, and even rice and brown sugar.

Especially brown sugar, because this is a special product of Jiaozhou, but under the feudal system, the scale of brown sugar in Jiaozhou has always been very small, and the nobles of this family sold it as the most precious luxury, but now they are selling it in large quantities, almost killing them. Under the pressure of the large-scale brown sugar, the aristocrats who mastered these technologies had to spread the technology and rely on scale to resist the large-scale brown sugar, otherwise they would not survive at all!
And the shopkeepers of these things are always coming, even brown sugar, although it can't be sold in Yizhou, but it can be brought to Dagan territory. With the low cost of sea transportation, the cost of this place will not increase much.

As for other low-priced goods, although theoretically they are not as valuable as savages, but Yizhou can make money by sending everything to the island, which is much better than running empty, and the most important thing is that his spices cost almost nothing .In other words, even if it is for food, he still earns money.

In this way, Dagan's fleet stopped here for three days, and these three days were completely joyous festivals for Long Bian, and businessmen from all around flocked into the wharf here.Sell ​​your own goods to rich merchants, and at the same time buy them all kinds of spices from big merchants.Through their caravans, it spread to all parts of Jiaozhou and even Jiangnan.It has created an unprecedentedly prosperous business system in Jiaozhou. It can be said that in Faxiang Island, the most profitable is the big business, and the second is the local aristocrats and big merchants in Jiaozhou!
Lu Bu stayed here for three days, and after watching the transaction, he said with emotion: "No wonder no one here prevents the big businessmen from entering. The prosperity of such a market is more than a hundred times that of the grassland, and the money in circulation is even more than that of the big man. It can be said that this kind of trade is not friendly to the big man, and everyone has benefited. With the greed of the big man, it is impossible for them to stop this kind of trade!"

Gao Shun said helplessly: "That's why businessmen can't be trusted. They only care about profit, not family, country and world. As long as they have money, they can sell anything. Don't these businessmen know that these savages are in the hands of big gans? Elevating the power of Dagan endangers the safety of my big man, but they still did such a thing directly for their own benefit."

Gao Shun knew at a glance that the reason why the Dagan people bought so many savages was obviously to develop the island they occupied.And these islands are all along the Dahan Sea, and when they really fully develop these islands.These islands became the targets for the big army to attack the big man.

On the contrary, Zhang Liao knew a little about the inside story and said: "In Lei Gong's words, these businessmen are the black gloves of the nobles. Which one of them is not a big man standing behind the official family, it is a bit too much to say that they don't pay attention to etiquette, justice and shame. Really don't pay attention to etiquette, justice and shame. Instead, it’s the officials.”

Lu Bu stopped the conversation and said, "Forget it, these things have nothing to do with us, but we didn't expect that the business here in Jiaozhou is so prosperous, especially the precious commodity such as spices. Seeing the happy faces of these merchants, we know that they It’s not worth the money.”

"It's also a good thing for us. The more prosperous Jiaozhou's business is, the more profitable it will be for us to open up a stronghold. Even the early development funds can be solved. Isn't it just to catch some savages in the wild? Those businessmen can do Come on, it can still stump us! At that time, we can also use savages to trade with Dagan merchants. We don’t necessarily need spices, food, ironware, and various tools. We may also ask Dagan merchants to help us Handle logistics."
