Fight the Giants

  On November 20, the ship bound for Dongyang returned to Taicang Port.

  Five days later, the ships of the five families arrived in Beijing full of goods.

  Guangfengshui put all the goods in the warehouse and put them on the shelves. After sorting out, the five families finally sat together. The Wan family decided that next year their clan would go to the East alone, instead of partnering with everyone.

  Wan Jia first proposes to break up the partnership.

  The young owner of the Wan family explained his family’s difficulties. His family has a lot of people, and his family alone has a lot of people, and they also have a lot of houses. His grandfather's brother, his father's brother, are close relatives.

  These clansmen saw that their house had earned money by going out to sea, and they were very jealous. They stayed at his house every day, begging his father to make decisions for everyone, and they could not leave the clansmen alone.

  Finally, the family decided to buy a boat with their own funds, and put the goods together to go to sea.

  Everyone had expected that Wanjia would go it alone, and after listening to it, they all expressed their understanding of Wanjia's difficulties. Of course, the main reason is that each family also wants to go it alone.

  Pei’s family went to Nanyang twice and returned safely, let alone going to Dongyang alone. At the beginning, he was willing to partner with everyone because he wanted to join the mysterious Langguang Pavilion. Xin Jiutong is stronger than Wanjia, so he agreed to break up the partnership.

  Pei Youjing thought that Guangfengshui was the weakest among them, and felt a little sorry for leaving Guangfengshui behind.

   Said to Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong: "Guangfengshui joins my family." As soon as the words came out, other families were also willing to bring Guangfengshui.

  Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong have already been instructed by Huo Xi. They are the weakest of the five, but they have earned no less than everyone else these years. Since everyone wants to split up, there is no need to get back together.

   Smiling and declined: "Since everyone wants to do it alone, my family can't make do with it. My family will sell the goods this time first, and plan next year."

  Pei Youjing had some regrets: "Okay, if Guangfengshui is willing, my family welcomes you at any time."

   "Yes, yes, we also welcome."

  Duiba glanced at Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu, and nodded to them with a smile. The two families have passed the gas, if everyone breaks up, the two of them will form a partnership together. But now it is not easy to reveal it too early, lest everyone have thoughts in their hearts.

   "Should we go to Xiyang together?" Master Wan Shao looked at everyone with a smile. Going to Nanyang, his family still doesn't want to break up. The journey over there is long and the risks are too great. His family wants to go to sea alone, but they don't have the ability.

  Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong did not speak. The other four families all knew that Guangfengshui was the weakest, so they just listened and didn't intend to show up.

  The Pei family is noncommittal, their own ship has returned safely from Nanyang, and it is fine to join with everyone or not.

  Xin Jiutong also thinks that he is not capable of going to the West and Southeast Asia alone, and he wants to go with Wanjia after joining Wanjia.

  So everyone looked at Dui Ba.

  Duiba smiled, and nodded his chin towards Pei Youjing, "Wan Shaodong's family is your brother-in-law, can't your family take him with him?"

  After Duiba said this, everyone understood that Langguangge wanted to dismantle the gang.

  Wan Jingyu disagreed.

   When his family got on the Pei family's boat, he had to look at the Pei family's face and be the younger brother of the Pei family. But they can partner with the other four, they have the same share, no one is higher and the other is lower, and the status is the same. Everyone knows how to choose between being the master of the house and being the younger brother of others.

   Except for the Pei family, the other four are going to Nanyang for the first time, and they don't really want to break up.

  But the Wan family sold the goods brought back from Nanyang at random prices, which disrupted the market and angered Langguang Pavilion.

  Langguangge doesn't really want to break up the gang, but is very dissatisfied with the way Master Wan handles things. I don't want to play with such a lagging partner.

  If anything happens in the future, the Wan family will definitely come to the four of them. Mu Yan behind Langguang Pavilion didn't want to be caught by the emperor.

  Wanjia paid a lot of money, and promised a lot of guarantees, but Duiba didn't give a clear reply, only saying that it will be discussed in a year.

  After returning, Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong told Huo Xi what happened at the meeting, and Huo Xi was silent after listening.

   "What do you two think?"

   "We can break up the partnership if we go to the East, but if we go to the South and the West, I still think we can share some risks by working together." Shen Qianzhong disagreed with the breakup.

"The shopkeeper Li Yu also said that the journey was not smooth and smooth. They encountered risks several times at sea. When they arrived at Fanwai's territory, there were many incidents where they robbed goods and robbed ships. I still recommend a few families Together."

  Yang Fu also nodded: "Yes, we don't have the ability to go to Dongyang and Nanyang alone. And we should just keep our eyes open."

  Huo Xi calculated in her heart that if she sold all the goods and deducted all costs on this trip to Nanyang, she would earn nearly a million taels.

   Of course, nearly one-third of this is earned from white sugar and rock sugar. Several other companies, including Langguang Pavilion, can only earn about 500,000 taels.

  If you go to sea exclusively, you don’t need to divide the share, of course you will earn more, but if the ship doesn’t come back, it’s in vain.

   Such a big loss cannot be eased in a few years, and it may not be eased.

  For example, the Ren family. Although the Ren family has recovered, it has also been squeezed from a top-notch firm to a third-rate and fourth-rate firm. If you can't slow down, or stand still, you will be caught up by the latecomers. Once the market share is squeezed by other businesses, it will be difficult to turn around.

   How about saying that shopping malls are like battlefields. But if you make a wrong strategy, you will change in an instant, life or death, and people will be caught off guard.

   "Langguang Pavilion is probably just trying to scare the Wan family. If the Wan family can manage his family members, it is not impossible to cooperate." Huo Xi said.

  Shen Qian nodded: "Yes. I think so too. If we go it alone, we may have to wait a year or two to buy such a big ship. If we lose the opportunity of a year or two, the pattern of the capital will change again."

  Yang Fu was a little worried: "Then can we buy the boat to Dongyang?" Sailor boatman is not worried. In the past two years, there have been many fishermen looking for him, so it is not difficult to find a buddy.

  Huo Xi nodded: "Langguang Pavilion is ready."

  Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong breathed a sigh of relief, then they will be able to earn a little more when they go to Dongyang next year.

  Huo Xi was also happy. Next year it will be only her family and Langguang Pavilion, so they will be able to bring more goods. There is no need to hide some hidden things anymore.

  Uncle Li Yu bought a lot of gold in Nanyang according to her idea. The price of gold there is cheap, and then the gold will be transported to Japan, and then one gold will be exchanged for fifteen silver, and some silver will be returned.

  In the Wei Dynasty, 10,000 gold could be exchanged for 100,000 silver. In Nanyang, six silvers were exchanged for one gold. More than doubled.

  This kind of matter of making use of the interest rate difference between several countries to earn foreign exchange should be covered up if it can be covered up.

   At that time, save some pepper and transport the pepper to Dongyang.

  Pepper in the Wei Dynasty, from three taels of silver to a catty, continued to fall, two taels, one tael, and now it is only five taels and four taels.

  East Asia also does not produce pepper, and they do not have the strength of the Wei Dynasty, and they can build so many ships that can travel to the South Seas and the West.

  There are few merchant ships going out to sea in the East, and it is not like the Wei Dynasty, which was a big country. There are so many countries paying tribute, and all kinds of merchant ships gather together to transport the pepper, which is better than the Wei Dynasty.

  So, Guangfengshui is the weakest on the surface, but he earns no less than others every time.
