I immediately started to prepare silver taels, so I was prepared. "
Opportunities are fleeting. Of course, Ma Siyong understands this truth for many years in business. Only by being fully prepared and seizing the opportunity, otherwise, even if the opportunity is in front of you, it is impossible to grasp it.
The merchants in the world are much smarter than him. The main reason why their Ma family can develop to where it is today is to plan ahead and seize the opportunity decisively.

119. Chapter 119
Seeing that his father had already thought about it, there was nothing to worry about. Ma Jinyu obeyed the order and went down to find out the news.
The undercurrent was surging, and the matter of Duan Wang's preparation for the bidding meeting was quickly placed on the desks of several other companies, and there were not a few who had ideas.
Especially when I heard that the Ma family boy specially asked Duan Wang for a drink, I don't need to guess what the Ma family's attitude is. If the Ma family wasn't interested, how could they send the Ma family's son to come forward? Even talked with Duan Wang for so long.
It's just this tender meeting, what exactly does it mean? They have never heard this statement. But regardless of whether they could understand it or not, everyone began to pay attention, and even prepared.
Not only in the capital, but also in the south, there are gradually rumors that King Duan is building the Xiqi Corridor. Because of the lack of money, he is going to let merchants participate in the construction together. To put it plainly, it is an investment, and in the future, you will get a huge return.
Believe it or not, who knows the sensation caused by King Duan's two trades with the Western Regions? In the south, they had heard about the precious items from the Western Regions, but it was a pity that they couldn't see them with their own eyes. But they are concerned about these things, King Duan also traded with the Western Regions, why can't others? But thinking of the situation over there, people with a little bit of thought also put their minds to it.
This time I heard that the Xiqi Corridor in Duanwang Lane is mainly to open up the trade channel between Dayan and the Western Regions. It is a relatively safer and more convenient way for caravans to go through Suixi Kingdom without risking war.
Most importantly, King Duan built the Xiqi Corridor in order to include the Xiqi Corridor into Dayan's territory. From then on, no national power can hold Dayan's throat, and people's business in the Western Regions will be unimpeded, so this gives them a great opportunity for businessmen.
You must know that no one has ever deliberately created a commercial road, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are scolded and shameless by the world. It is said that businessmen are chasing profit and leaving lightly, that businessmen are fighting for profit with the people, and that businessmen are not evil and do not do business. After all, it is just the prejudice of the world.
Now that King Duan is taking the lead, what else are they afraid of? It is rumored that the development and operation of Xiqi Corridor will be handed over to King Duan by the emperor for the next ten years. Judging from the leaked rumors, everything is difficult at the beginning, and of course a lot of money will be invested in the beginning. But in the long run, after the successful opening of the Xiqi Corridor, merchants will come and go, and the tariff alone will be an astronomical sum. In such a comparison, what is that investment
Now the bidding meeting given by King Duan is an opportunity for everyone. As long as the merchants participate, such a big benefit will not be exhausted even if they can pick up a la carte soup.
Merchants who have won the letter can't wait, the opportunity must not be missed, and the loss will never come again. They are in the south, hurrying to go now, maybe they can get some benefits.
There are also cautious businessmen who have already begun to decide whether to go to Liangzhou to take a look. I heard that the bandits there have been wiped out under the leadership of Duan Wang. The banditry in Liangzhou has improved a lot. As long as it is not on the border with the Suixi Kingdom, it should be considered safe.
Only by seeing the situation on the ground for themselves can they know whether it is worth going west.
The breeze is blowing, and the faint fragrance of flowers is intoxicating in the wind.
In the huge courtyard gazebo, two rich and handsome young masters were playing chess. At this moment, it seemed that there was a dispute. One of them stood up, bent over and prostrated himself on the chessboard, assuming a shameless gesture.
A group of people hurried towards the pavilion outside the gazebo, Xu Xi walked in front, followed by palace eunuchs carrying fruit snacks.
"No, no, the one just now doesn't count, I didn't see it, so it doesn't count." Ming Yu's voice was as rambunctious as ever.
"Gu Du has reminded you, if you go down there, you left by yourself, so why don't you forget it?" Prince Ming Ye was annoyed and funny.
"Hey! Didn't I notice it? Go through it again, go through it again!"
"You said you, you have replayed the chess move seven or eight times, is it interesting?" Ming Ye was very helpless.
"Just take advantage of your age and bully me! Either let me play again just now, or the prince's brother won't allow me to play in that place, and you choose one yourself." Extremely arrogant in front of him.
"..." Ming Ye was speechless.
Xu Xi twitched his face, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to show it. After gathering his composure, he cleared his throat.
It had been a long time since he had seen the prince's helplessness from the heart. Only when facing Duan Wang Mingyu, would he reveal a completely different truth from usual.
Sitting in the position of the prince, there were too many people staring at him, which made the prince carefully hide his truth, and put a mask of gentleness, respect and thrift on his face all the time. The identity of the prince is a shackle, which suppresses the high-spirited young man to death, and eventually even the truest self is completely forgotten.
At this time, the prince was already driven mad by Ming Yu's nonsense, and he should have refused decisively when Ming Yu proposed to play chess. Playing chess with someone like Ming Yu who is addicted to cooking is simply torture. He has gone from arguing with reason at the beginning to now that he has no temper at all.
Xu Xi's cough caught the attention of the two people in the pavilion. Ming Ye seemed to have seen Avalokitesvara who rescued the suffering, and finally someone came to relieve him from the sea of suffering.
"Xu Qing is here, she must be here for something important, this game will be played later." Ming Ye heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly pushed away the chess game, and beckoned Xu Xi to come over quickly.
Although Ming Yu felt a little regretful, she couldn't say anything more, so she could only watch Ming Ye ask someone to pack up her things, and then sat up straight with a sad face.
Ming Ye hardened his heart and ignored him, if he couldn't get away at this time, he would have to suffer. It's no wonder that the most beloved chessboard in the father's palace that has been placed there all year round has disappeared, and even half of the pieces have not been seen. It seems that the rumors are true.
Ming Yu has recently become obsessed with playing chess. What kind of chess skills can a rookie who has just learned the rules have? Two days ago, I heard that he went to play chess with his father, and Ming Yu limped out that day, clutching his buttocks. And on the second day, the chessboard and all the chess pieces disappeared, the emperor said that no chess pieces were allowed anywhere Ming Yu was.
At first he didn't understand what was going on, but now he finally felt it. I also roughly understood the emperor's mood at that time. I guess Ming Yu annoyed the emperor because of playing chess that day, and was kicked out after eating two boards, right
It's very possible! Playing chess with Ming Yu, not getting sick from anger, really has a strong heart. He didn't know the situation before he figured it out, and later he had to give away these chess tools as soon as possible, and there would never be a chance for Ming Yu to catch him playing chess.
Xu Xi could hear a hint of urgency from the prince's usual calm tone. He smiled slightly, stepped into the pavilion, and greeted the two of them.
Ming Ye quickly helped him up, with an indescribable kindness on his face, "Is Xu Qing here for something important?"
Xu Xi presented a booklet in his hand, "Exactly, this is the entry and exit account of the second batch of goods from the Western Regions brought back by King Duan. I came here specially to ask the prince to have a look."
The prince took it and flipped through it. The data on it made his heart beat faster even though he was used to seeing the big world. He said happily: "This time the result is even better than the previous round, fourteenth brother, take a look."
After the prince finished speaking, he pushed the account book to Ming Yu, motioning him to have a look. But Ming Yu's interest was low, far from the high enthusiasm when he just played chess. He raised his eyelids, flipped them over, and pushed them directly to Ming Ye, saying with disgust: "Brother Prince can just look at these things, I don't want to care about such things."
"Don't you take a closer look? Aren't these the results you brought back?" Ming Ye's attitude towards Ming Yu has long been commonplace, as long as Ming Yu is not interested in things, he will be like this.
It's just that the value of these things is completely different. Even the crown prince is moved, but Ming Yu is really not interested.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it! Anyway, the elder brother of the prince will not lose a penny for the younger brother, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it." Ming Yu said vaguely after eating a piece of snacks brought up by the palace servants just now.
Ming Ye took the brochure, that's true, the fourteenth brother trusts him so much, of course he can't let him down. The prince who was also moved by Ming Yu's words, heard Ming Yu continue to say: "Brother Prince, please deal with it quickly, the round just now is not over yet!"
Ming Ye choked up his breath and almost didn't come up. The account of feelings is not as important as the game of chess just now. should he cry or laugh
