Horse on the World

Chapter 624

Dingzhou, Dragon Mansion.

Long Sihai spent a lot of money and gambled successfully back then. Now the Long family has become the largest wealthy businessman in Dingzhou. Not only has he made a difference in the business world, but he has also started to have great influence in the political circle. His son Long Xiaotian is in charge of the whole world. The post of state magistrate is highly valued by Li Qing.Back then, Long Sihai used Li Qing's influence to extend his tentacles into all walks of life, which aroused the disgust of many businessmen. Finally, under Li Qing's beating, he resolutely quit and began to change his business thinking. Step by step, Sihai has established a huge prestige among the merchants in Dingzhou. Now in the business world, although Long Sihai said that he is not saying the same thing, but every word has a huge influence among the merchants in Dingzhou.

Now, in the small living room of the Dragon Mansion, there are the most influential and powerful figures from all walks of life under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou. The most unexpected thing is that Qi Yu also appears here. He is a complete businessman, and he is the No. 1 merchant in the leather goods business. From his body, there is no trace of the barbarian general who ran across the grassland back then.

"Everyone, another huge business opportunity is in front of us!" Long Sihai said with a smile. "The commander-in-chief gave us another way to make money. If this way fails, I'm really worried!"

"What are you worried about? Duke Long?" A thin businessman answered loudly.

"I'm worried that everyone's house is not big enough to hold so much money!" Long Sihai laughed.

"Duke Long, don't be tricky, just speak up!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know you are big in front of the commander in chief, and the commander in chief is always the first to think of you when something good happens, so tell me!"

There was a lot of chatter in the hall, and Long Sihai watched the scene with satisfaction. In just a few short years, he, Long Sihai, had grown from a small local rich man in Jing'an County to a leader of the entire Dingzhou business community. And as the commander-in-chief's territory expanded step by step, his business also expanded day by day.Long Sihai's ideal is that the commander-in-chief will occupy the world, and he will become the biggest businessman in the world.

"Come on, hang up!" Long Sihai shouted loudly.

Following his shout, two servants strode in, holding a scroll in their hands.As the two hung this huge scroll on the wall, everyone exclaimed. This is a geographical map of Heishuiyang. A military map, and only a military map, can be so detailed.

"Is this our big Chu? Oh, why is there only such a little?"

"Where is Dingzhou? Where is Dingzhou? Aha, I looked at Fuzhou, and this is Hailing in Fuzhou. Look, this is Dengzhou, Linzhou..."

Everyone flocked to the picture to look at the huge blueprint, and excitedly pointed to the places marked on the blueprint.

"Everyone, everyone!" Long Sihai slapped his hands, "Please be quiet, be quiet!"

"Everyone has seen this chart, so you probably know what business the Marshal wants to do?" Long Sihai said with a smile, "Do you know what is at the end of this map, on the other side of Heishuiyang?"

Everyone returned to their own seats, and another wealthy businessman in Dingzhou said to Wen Jin: "I heard rumors that there are not all uncivilized savages over there? Could it be that the commander wants to do business with these savages this time? I don't know if they put on clothes or not?"

Xiang Wenjin's words caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter.

Long Sihai pressed his hands down seriously, "This is nonsense, then there is such a thing, I will tell you guys today, let me explain first, this is all a secret in the army, everyone listen, Don't spread it outside."

Hearing that Long Sihai mentioned that it was a secret in the military, everyone held their breath and became quiet.

"Our Dingzhou navy captured a lot of people who came from there, as well as pirates who had business dealings with it. After interrogation, we learned that there is a very rich place!" Long Sihai said vividly. Let me describe to you the magnificent scenery on the other side of Heishuiyang.

Long Sihai's passionate voice rang in the hall for half an hour. Under his description, on the other side of the ocean, he could describe it in a few words: people are stupid, money is rich, land is fertile, hurry up!

Everyone was excited, and everyone was eager to try.

But Xiang Wenjin was a little worried, "Dr. Long, if it is as you said, then this business is indeed done, but none of us understand maritime trade, and the risks at sea are huge, not to mention that pirates are as numerous as cow hairs, but there are only strong winds and waves. It is enough to make us lose everything, how to safely set foot on the land on the other side is a big problem!"

Long Sihai chuckled, "Xiang Lao, who are we doing business with? It's the commander's navy, the Dingzhou navy, who is invincible under the heavens. Have you seen the Qiyuan? That guy, tsk tsk, what do you think?" Thinking, with the Dingzhou navy escorting us, the pirates dare not open their eyes to catch our attention, I am afraid they will only worry that we will hit the target, so let's snatch them away!"

Long Sihai's words caused another burst of laughter in the hall.Most of the people here have seen the strength of the Dingzhou Navy, and they deeply sympathize with Long Sihai's words.

"As for the big winds and waves you said, hey, there is no risk in doing business. If there is no risk, why should the commander let us do it together? He can't do it by himself. Besides, with the escort of the navy, the risk is very small. Go half way first."

Qiyu interjected: "Dr. Long, I have a question. This time we cooperated with the commander-in-chief, and we agreed to share [-]-[-], but this, what if the commander-in-chief regrets it in the future? You know, the commander-in-chief invested It’s the navy, and we are real gold and silver, once the commander repents, we can only watch.”

"Fart you!" Long Sihai spat out, "Qi Manzi, who do you think our commander-in-chief is, ah, over the years we have been here, doing business with the commander-in-chief has not happened once or twice, when will the commander-in-chief I regret it, I think back then, when we bought the Dingzhou bonds, we had counted on the general to pay back the money, but in the end, the principal and interest were paid on time, and you didn’t trust the general, I, I really want to slap you Slapped!"

Qi Yu smiled, and was not angry when Long Sihai called him a barbarian, but said slowly: "Duke Long, don't get angry, this time is different from usual, this time the investment is huge, right, otherwise Duke Long would not be We all recruited. In the past, we all worked separately, but this time we did it together. Some of the terms and conditions should be clarified first. Who pays how much, how many shares, how to distribute the benefits , we have to explain in advance. This is our usual way of doing business, right? But this time Marshal Li personally stepped in. If my predictions are correct, Li Shuai will definitely take the majority of the shares. We don’t tell the Marshal about these things in advance. I understand, how do we open our mouths in the future?"

Long Sihai took another sip, "You savage, it's only been a few years, and you've become oily and slippery. I think in a few years, we'll all be robbed of our jobs by you."

Qi Yu chuckled and said, "I'm overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed, I dare not, I dare not!"

Long Sihai looked up at the crowd, "So, everyone agreed to do it, right?"

"It's done!" Everyone in the hall chatted.

"What I'm worried about now is the distribution of benefits, especially the distribution of benefits with the Marshal's Mansion, right!"

"Not bad!"

Long Sihai smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief knows things like a god, and I know that someone of you will definitely ask this question. Look!" Long Sihai took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, "This is what the commander-in-chief prepared for us. The plan proposed by this cooperation."

"The commander-in-chief created an organization for our cooperation this time, called Heishuiyang Company. Don't get me wrong, this is not a government office, but something that specializes in this business. To put it bluntly, it is a shop. The name of the Marshal's Mansion will account for [-]% of the shares, and we will have [-]%. Although the Marshal holds a large share, the Marshal will not interfere in the management. I don’t care about being handsome, but the handsome only pays dividends.”

"The commander-in-chief takes the lead, so why don't you just let him go?" someone questioned.

"The commander-in-chief said that every year he will send a special person to review our account books. As for how to operate, although the commander-in-chief's house does not intervene, if we encounter difficulties, he will of course take action. How should I put it? If we do business in those places, if we are bullied, the commander-in-chief will come out."

"If we bully others, will the commander-in-chief come out?" Qi Yu asked suddenly.

"You bastard, what are you paying attention to!" Long Sihai laughed. "In business, what we pay attention to is to make money with harmony. If we really want to bully others, it must be others who bullied us first!"

"What is the main business?"

"In the early stage, I'm afraid it's tea, silk, porcelain, etc. These things are worth a hundred times over there." As soon as Long Sihai finished speaking, the eyes of the people in the room fell on three people.

"Everyone, don't look at me!" Wu Xun, who runs the tea business, waved his hands again and again, "Everyone, although I am in this business, everyone knows that this time the scale is too large, and I simply cannot organize so many sources of goods. I heard some gossip, and heard that King Ning has begun to limit the amount of these goods we can import, so it will be even more difficult for me to do so."

"It's the same here!" Qian Dajun, who runs the silk business, said again and again: "The silk business is getting harder and harder."

Long Sihai sneered: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If they don't let us buy, we won't be able to get the goods. As long as we give enough money, we can get things."

"Duke Long, you mean smuggling?" Wu Xun was a little terrified.

"What are you afraid of? This time we have the commander in chief to support us, Wu Xun. A catty of high-quality tea is brought from the south for less than a tael of silver, but do you know how much it is sold there? Tens of dollars Two, dozens of times the profits, let’s give some of the profits to the tea merchants in the south, do I think they will do it?”

There was a green light in the eyes of everyone, and the profit dozens of times was enough for any businessman to take a gamble.

The next thing went smoothly. Heishuiyang Company was officially established. Long Sihai did his part and became the company's first big shopkeeper. little boss.According to the copybook Li Qing gave them, they are all called directors, but everyone is not very happy about it. We are all small bosses who are sensible or not!
At the beginning of the establishment of Heishuiyang Company, a huge sum of up to 500 million taels of silver was injected.
