After the new year, everyone is busy with their own affairs. Even Zhang Wang's and Wang Juan's mother are also busy. The two are busy listening to music. These tunes were written by Wang Juan and they can play them. People listen to two people in turn every day, or to be precise, to the child in the stomach.
In order to prevent two people from listening to one of them, Wang Juan hummed all the tunes he could make to those who played. Some songs are the same. No lyrics are needed. Just the tune is fine. This is one song. This task, the two mothers are now being arranged regularly.
Everyone has things. The people who have nothing to say are those who came from the Yellow River Boat Lane. These owners now understand that the scraps of the fur they bought can’t be sold for much money. This trip is considered a waste of money. , In order to find a new way to buy and sell, they now start to wander around every day.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were surprised when they discovered this. Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Your plan seems to have been made in vain. People didn't follow the instructions on it at all. Be anxious, just let those goods pile up there."
Zhang Xiaobao pondered for a while and said: "It's normal. No one can guarantee that every scam will succeed in the end. The Yellow River Shipping has been developing for so many years. Even if it has been affected by our business in the recent period, people still have their own. The bottom line, what is to say is calculated, at least they have lost more than a dozen cargoes now.
That’s fine. They should be looking for some business to do it themselves. If so, we can calculate them again and let them continue to lose some money. What do you think? "
"I think it's fine. If they stopped our boat, then we not only made money for that furry thing, but also counted them once and evened it. There is no hostile relationship between them and us. , Is it because they want to go the same way to do business, so they have to be directly hostile?"
Wang Juan is not hostile to the Yellow River boat trip. There seems to be no major conflict between the two sides. The last conflict is now regarded as revenge. She always counts others out, and there is no other joy in life. Without doubting Zhang Xiaobao's ability, if he really wanted to calculate the Yellow River boat trip, it would be useless no matter how they hid, even if they tried their best to avoid the intersection here.
As long as they are still businessmen, as long as they are still ready to continue trading and chasing profits, they will not be able to run away, unless they change careers now and run far away, leaving Zhang Xiaobao not having so much energy.
For example, what we said a few months ago has already brought in a lot of people, that is, a new group has been established, and the group has been fighting with Shuiyun, and the fighting has already started in the capital. Other merchants joined in and immediately distinguished the people who hated Shuiyunjian from those who protected Shuiyunjian.
At this time, it should be a small fight. Both sides have their own wins and losses. The businessmen have not invested a lot of money. When they are big, they will know the consequences of dealing with Shuiyunjian. Those who want to deal with Shuiyunjian The person had already been temporarily hidden, but it turned out that Xiaobao hadn't gotten it out.
Hey... If Xiaobao really wants to calculate a person, that person will be over, especially under the cover of this kind of child status. Many people who are calculated do not know who their true opponent is. You can't use Zhang Xiaobao's body.
Zhang Xiaobao is actually asking, it is too easy to calculate the Yellow River boat trip now. They are still looking for opportunities to do business here, so how can they avoid it? Seeing that Wang Juan did not advocate this kind of hard work to pit others, he said:
"Well, just ignore them. If they find a new way to make money here, I don’t know if they don’t violate our interests, but once they are ready to use our losses to reach them For the purpose, don't blame me for being rude.
The furs of his ships are actually really useful. I think of ways to buy them. The cost may be lower. The cost I said does not include the transportation cost. It is the lowest price when they bought it, like the price we sold to them. It definitely won't work. Let's go and give lectures to Li Xun and the others. After we finish talking about this matter, we will continue to take the family-grown seedling team to the mountain for training. "
Zhang Xiaobao was talking, pulling Wang Juan and walking out, while Wang Juan smiled as he walked and said, “It’s better to let them stay on the boat for a while, waiting for our next boat to come over. It’s time to sell them in a hurry, and now they’re going to talk to them about buying things, and they will definitely not give up."
"Yes, they are looking for new products. The ship is parked here. They are not too anxious. When they wait for another fleet to come back, they will find that a long time has been wasted. Maybe they are just now. I know, but I still can't make up the determination of the strong man to break his wrist."
Zhang Xiaobao knows what Wang Juan means, which is actually the reason of some personal thoughts now. If this is replaced by himself and Wang Juan, they will definitely get the fur on the shore when they find that the fur on the boat is worthless. , And then investigate it here as quickly as possible, buy some things and go back.
Many people here think that if the boat is parked there, as long as you don’t rush out to sell it, you won’t lose money. However, Wang Juan and himself think that as long as the boat doesn’t move back and forth, then they will lose money. The boat was bought by people from the Yellow River Boat Company with loan sharks. I don’t believe that they would let the boat continue to stop. Every day it stops is a huge loss.
The two left the house while they were talking, preparing to finish teaching the people led by Li Xun and do the next thing.
…
The owners of the Yellow River Boat Company are visiting Luzhou. They want to know what can be sold here, and also want to buy some valuable things here. They have been around for several days, but the people from the Yellow River Boat Company are here. The more the number of times, the more disappointed.
They did not expect that there was obviously a lot of business opportunities here, but they were controlled by the Zhang family. Those chambers of commerce came in contact with them and said they were willing to sell them things, and they also chose a few categories to let them understand. Say, this is a good thing, but the prices of the goods given by these chambers of commerce are too high, so high that if these goods are shipped back to the capital, they can only make less than five hundred guan.
This is a good deal after deducting the money for meals. At least it didn’t make a trip for nothing, but the account cannot be calculated like this. If it is calculated, it should be regarded as the biggest benefit. This is not the benefit of the group. Without calculations, if you count them all, you will lose more than 3,000 Guans this time.
This is not big money for the Yellow River Shipping Company. The question is, if you don’t lose it, how good can you make this time? Combining what you earn with what you want to lose is not as simple as three thousand sticks.
When the people on the Yellow River boat trip realized that they couldn’t do anything, they finally couldn’t bear it. They said to the other owners, “I think you’d better not look for business here in Luzhou. Bring it back, maybe someone in another state would be willing to buy these furs.
This living person can't be suffocated to death by urine. I decided to leave here and go to another state to see. Are you waiting in this place or going with me
Hearing what the owner said, Sun Dong's brows frowned, and he persuaded: "This matter can't be too eager, what if something goes wrong? Wait two days to see. If you still can't find a deal, let's talk about it. , You can’t leave everyone alone and stay here by yourself? In case you are in any danger, it’s too late to save you."
When he said this, other people also echoed it out. This is indeed the case. This owner only has two ships. This is not the Yellow River. This is the sea. Maybe there will be danger at any time, so wait until then. Everyone act together.
This person was also aggrieved and uncomfortable. He wanted to vent a bit. Hearing other people's persuasion, he followed suit and stopped mentioning leaving.
"Sun Dong's house, do you know what is the best deal here?" Seeing a person stopped, someone next to him asked Sun Dong's house.
Sun Dongjia smiled bitterly and said, "Where do I know where to go? Their place is different from other places. The things that go up the mountain to pick things will be sold to the chamber of commerce here in Zhang's family, and the things in the sea are organized by them to act together. As for the things that were produced here that day, they were of no use at all. It's difficult, let's look for them again."
When other people see Sun Dong’s house, they have no choice but to continue to think hard about what makes money. In normal times, they can easily find a way to make money. The problem is that all kinds of transactions in this place are managed by Zhang’s family. If others want to intervene, they can't get in.
At this time, the group of people had come to the side of the east side of the two big rivers dug out, watching the fish that came alive in the spring in the water happily playing there, and there was a lot of helplessness on everyone's faces.
"Look at the fish here? When I came, I heard that their boat bought a lot of crabs when passing by Taihu Lake. It's not easy to eat here. They all use them to make dishes. Even if they can raise them, we can raise them as well."
Sun Dongjia stared at the fish swimming in the river and said to the other people. The others shook their heads one after another. The fish was worthless, and it was useless to catch more.
Sun Dongjia seemed to understand other people's thoughts. He just didn't have the idea to think about one, and he didn't expect others to agree.
The group of people gave up the fish in the water and continued to walk upstream along the shore. Not to mention, these individuals praised the repair of the river as they walked. Not only was the water large, but it also appeared to be very stable. It is also very convenient when watering.
As they walked, these people came to a place that seemed to be slightly wider than other places. As it became wider, the river became smoother. Suddenly, a man looked at the river and shouted happily: , I thought of a good way, that is, the fish farming mentioned by Sun Dongjia just now."
Others heard him say that there is a good way, and they are also happy, but who knows that they are still raising fish, what is the use of raising fish? There are people over there who don't like to eat fish, and those who are willing to eat fish, naturally they are next to the lake or the river.
Even though Zhang’s family has already cooked many fish dishes, more fish are not the fish here, but the carp of the Yellow River. That is the most delicious, especially the dishes made with carp. The price has increased a lot.
Seeing the silent expressions of the crowd, the person who spoke just now continued: "The fish I'm talking about is not a fish for food, but this kind of fish. Look in the water. There are two kinds of fish in it. If you catch more of this, Fish, is it a good thing to let others look down on it
Look, are the colored fishes very beautiful when they swim in the water? If my family raises a few, and the guests come, they will definitely follow them and appreciate them. When that time comes, I will tell the story to others casually. That feels, tut. "
After what he said, other people looked at it carefully, indeed, as he said, there are actually two colored fishes in this gentle place now. No, if you can divide them according to the depth of the color, it should be. There are four colors. If you look closely at this time, you will find that there are a lot of fish in this place. It seems that each one has a color.
Thinking about what this person said just now, everyone is tempted. If this is taken back, one piece will be sold for dozens of bucks without any problems, especially since this fish can still produce seeds, as long as it is raised for a year. Then there will be a bunch of fish like this.
Thinking of this, some people are ready to go into the water, but even if the water is gentle, they can’t go down. It’s deep, no one is too relaxed. A group of people started to get anxious on the shore. At this time, there were just a few of them working. The people here are ready to wash their faces.
"Hey... come here and tell you something." Sun Dongjia greeted the few people, and the few people walked up suspiciously, looking at the few people in front of them who didn't know what it meant to call themselves and others.
"Tell you something, do you see the fish in the water?" Sun Dong's asked several people, and pointed his finger at the fish in the river.
Several people nodded one after another, indicating that they had seen it, and at the same time they were even more puzzled.
"That's right, I'm going to give you a benefit, that is, you go down and help me catch this colorful fish. If you want to live, you will pay you five cents if you catch one. Five cents is easier than your work. That's too much. If you can catch ten, that's fifty wen. Just look at how many fishes like that are in the water and you will know how much money you can make in the end.
And you see, this fish only swims in this area, and it doesn't go down or up, so it doesn't take much effort to catch it, how about it? Would you like to do? I'm willing to take the money now. "
Sun Dongjia continued to talk, and he also told a few people about one thing he had discovered. The price of each item was up to five cents. He thought that once these people heard this, they couldn't even take off their clothes. He just jumped in, and while talking, he even took out some small pieces of silver. It is not convenient for those who are out of the house to hold copper coins. It can be exchanged when you take the silver to some pawnshops or money houses. Sometimes you can even buy things directly.
He thought well, and others thought about it in the same way, but knew that as soon as he had finished speaking, the few people in front of him looked at them with vigilance, and that meant it was going to happen.
"Why? Afraid that I lie to you? Still feel that the money is missing?" Sun Dongjia looked at a few people, found that something was wrong, and asked softly.
One of those people spoke at this moment.
"The colored fish are raised by good officials. If you plan to sell a big money in the future, you want to get one for five cents? Did you deliberately kill these fish?"
"Ah? Someone raised it? A good official? Oh, it's Zhang Cishi, isn't it? Yu, yes, it was raised by his family? I will sell it for a lot of money in the future. That's it, now the sale is gone."
The person who just proposed to fish the fish is completely wilted at this time. He thinks that he is smart. No one else can think of this. Who knows that it's not the case at all.
"Naturally, it was raised by Mr. Zhang. Look carefully at why those fish don't run to other places. It is blocked by three layers of fine nets on both sides."
The local man who spoke just now pointed to the net in the water that had to be seen very carefully, and said to the hosts.
"It seems that everyone is not a fool. This is the case." Take a closer look, isn't it? Just like this person said, there are nets in the river. People like myself came up with the idea when they saw a special fish. , People have already started to raise it, and the two sides have a higher judgment.
All the owners are now convinced. I waited for the good idea that others had just thought of, but only thought of it after seeing the people raised it. No wonder the people here looked at it just now, it turned out to be like this.
Come on, this fish can't be caught, don't look at no one watching now, but if it is really caught, some people may come out from somewhere to catch themselves and others.
Looking at those beautiful fish regretfully, these owners continued to walk to other places, ready to find out if there were other things that could be used to sell money.
I searched for two days and found nothing useful at all. A group of people came to a marshland today. Generally, no one would come here. A few people also know that it’s more dangerous here. Pythons or other things are very easy to die. Therefore, several people are very cautious when they go, afraid that there will be no time to react.
As we walked, everyone stood next to a pond with relatively few plants. Looking at the spring scenery, some of the early flowers had already bloomed. After all, the weather here is warm. If you do it well, there will be flowers in all seasons. Open, and there is a trace of green in the grass, even if the sky is a little bit cooler, it makes people more comfortable.
"Take off your shoes, roll up your trousers, and look inside. What if you find something, such as a fish with the same color, will they not be in charge of the fish here? Even if they have used this kind of fish to prepare Do business, but as long as they don’t get caught in the river, what can they do?"
At this time, an owner proposed to go down and have a look. Several people thought about it and nodded. Although they were afraid of being bitten by locusts in the water, it was nothing. The big deal will be taken with the soles of the shoes.
The shoes were not easy to take off. After a while, I finally took off the shoes. Then I rolled my trouser legs. I just rolled my trouser legs. I haven’t waited for a few people to go down. It’s a long distance in front of them. Suddenly a figure turned up, and a three-foot-long fish of unknown species bit the thing that turned over with its mouth.
After the thing bit the big fish, it started to turn its body vigorously until it threw off a section of the bitten fish, and then it was eating a piece there, looking at the person on the shore slowly. The ground sank into the water, and after a while, there was no trace of it.
"Crocodile, there is a crocodile here. It's so scary." A proprietor was holding his chest with his hand, breathing quickly, his face pale, he knew this thing, he didn't expect to be so close just now, if this is true When he got into the water, it was not a fish that was eaten, but a certain one of himself and others.
Now that there is one, there may be others hiding in the dark. Thinking about this, everyone quickly withdrew a distance back, fearing that something would suddenly come out of it and give them a bite.
"It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous. How could there be a crocodile here?" One of the owners recovered a bit at this time. While speaking, he thought about it, picked up a few stones from the side and smashed them into the water. After the past, the few stones were thrown, and there was a reaction in the water. There was a thumping sound, some crocodiles sank, and two even crawled over here.
Everyone couldn't even care about wearing their shoes. They ran away with bare feet and let the grass hurt. They were relieved that they had run out for a certain distance and saw that the crocodile hadn't chased them.
"Oh, where did so many crocodiles come from? Thank you for not going down just now." Sun Dongjia said with lingering fear, and the other people thought it was right. Thanks to the big fish that was eaten that day, otherwise, I would wait for others. It's over, it's a fate.
At this time, one by one realized that his body was wet with cold sweat, and he turned around before the ghost gate closed, and now he is still scared.
After a while, everyone gradually recovered. Looking at the scenery over there, it was no longer as comfortable as when they came just now. It seems to be a place that cannibalize people without spitting out bones.
The crowd sat on the spot, unwilling to move for a while. At this moment, the person who said that he was going to catch the colored fish the day before yesterday brightened his eyes and said:
"Oh, this crocodile also has a lot of good things on it. Now that you see it, you can't come here for nothing. It's better to go back now and find someone to kill the crocodile here. By then, the treasures on the crocodile will be all Ours, especially the leather, it’s worth a lot of money to make leather armor for the generals."
