Since negotiating a peace agreement is not trivial, the mission also had to meet the Emperor of Yan and learn about the country of Yan in the early stages of their visit to Yan. Therefore, the official talks between the two sides were not rushed to the shelves, but were scheduled for a few days after the mission came to Yan.
He Yunxiao has no important duties in the group, so they are much more leisurely than Ruobao. Usually, when Ruobao and the others are busy, He Yunxiao and Sister Du will investigate Yan Guo's market and investment targets.
The economic structure of Yan State is not exactly the same as that of Qi State in the south.
Qi State is a country dominated by farming, while Yan State is a mix of agriculture and animal husbandry. The area close to Qi and Wei is dominated by farming, while the north and northwest are dominated by grazing. Compared with Qi State, Yan State has stronger horses, so Yan State is naturally good at cavalry.
The business of military horses is a lucrative job, but He Yunxiao is self-aware. If he moves this business in Qi State, he is covered by Mengbao. At critical times, he will be slaughtered like a fat sheep and bleed, so he won't die anyway. The business of mobilizing military supplies in the country of Yan belongs to earning money with one's life. If you have a life to earn, you can't spend your life if you don't have a life.
Before coming to Yan, He Yunxiao and Du Yinyun set up some luxury business in Qi State, so the first batch of investment targets for He and Du in Yan were some "luxury raw materials".
Such as "ceramic clay", "animal fur" and other objects.
On the carriage, He Yunxiao was discussing with Du Yinyun about opening the Jingtian City branch of Orchid Bank in Jingtian City.
"Yinyun, Nangong Yu'er has agreed to invest in Yanguo Lanhua Bank branch and get half of the 200,000 taels. What are you worried about?"
Du Yinyun shook her head and said, "Yinyun listens to you, Young Master."
"No." He Yunxiao became serious, "Don't try to lie to me, you have something to say, don't you?"
"No."
"Really?"
Sister Du bit her lips lightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't want to.
He Yunxiao reached out and held Du Yinyun in his arms. In the eyes of outsiders, the female president of Orchid Bank is cold and aloof, but at this moment she is hugged by He Yunxiao like a docile cat.
"Yinyun, we are big girls now, we must have our own ideas. Yunbao thinks why I set up a bank in the first place."
Du Yinyun immediately replied: "Because the young master cares about the common people in the world, he has long expected that Qi Yan will have conflicts, so he set up a bank in advance to get the military expenses of the Chu family army with small gains. Then..."
He Yunxiao: ...
What Yunbao said, I'm too embarrassed to tell her the truth.
"Cough, Yinyun, I didn't think too much about it at the beginning. The original purpose of my establishment of this bank was actually to give your sister Jiang a bride price. Do you know the purpose after that?"
Du Yinyun shook her head.
He Yunxiao stroked her hair, and said softly: "It's all for you in the future. I thought, let you stand alone, and then you don't have to listen to me for everything. I didn't expect that you, who are not up to date, will be in front of outsiders. The tiger is full of power, and you will be cowarded when you go home?"
Du Yinyun's heart was moved by what He Yunxiao said, and she couldn't help saying: "Yinyun will always be the young master's little maid."
"Stop, stop." He Yunxiao said, "I have no shortage of maids. I want Miss Du, the female president of the bank."
He Yunxiao let go of Yunbao's waist with his left hand, but saw that she was still lying on top of him, not wanting to move.
"Crack." The big hand patted the soft meat.
The woman's buttocks hurt, so she straightened up reluctantly.
Looking at Yunbao who was still full of spring water after being spanked, He Yunxiao said with a headache: "Yinyun, Lanhua Bank belongs to you as well as mine. If you hesitate and don't tell the key issues, then We will be the ones who suffer in the future. Does Yinyun want your young master to suffer?"
Du Yinyun thought for a while, and seemed to understand, so she boldly said: "Young master, Qi Yan is still undecided, and we can invest in Yan State in advance, although we can get some benefits. But if the peace negotiation fails, and the war breaks out again, we will These investments will be halved at least, and the risk is too high."
He Yunxiao smiled and said: "That's right, Yinyun needs to speak out her own thoughts. But there is no need to worry about this issue. Your son and I have internal information. Qi Yan will definitely meet and stop the war."
Since He Yunxiao was so sure, Du Yinyun had no objections, and the two concentrated on discussing investment projects.
…
Baiyuxuan is a well-known fur shop in Yan Country.
Small in scale, but high in quality and reputation.
It belongs to a store that can expand production and generate a lot of profits with a little investment.
Moreover, "fur" belongs to the ranks of luxury goods in the two countries of Qi and Yan. The average family will not spend a lot of money to buy a beautiful but difficult to take care of clothes.
Yan Guosheng produces fur, but there are not as many rich people in Yan State as in Qi State.
Moreover, Qi's winter is relatively warm, so it doesn't need too thick fur to keep warm. Therefore, the standard can be lowered so that the wealthy people in Qi can spend more money on clothes with reduced matching.
He Yunxiao's eyes lit up looking at the fur coats displayed in Bai Yuxuan.
Invest in Yan’s fur and sell it under a different brand to Qi’s. Yan’s job will be obtained, Qi’s will be provided with clothes, and he will make a profit. This is a win-win situation! It's hard to win!
He Yunxiao glanced at Sister Du beside him, "How do you feel about Yinyun?"
Du Yinyun nodded calmly.
So He Yunxiao yelled: "Xiao Er, let your shopkeeper come to see me."
Seeing that He Yunxiao and He Yunxiao were dressed in extraordinary clothes, Xiaoer didn't dare to neglect at all, and rushed to invite the shopkeeper.
In the backyard of Bai Yuxuan, the shopkeeper who was sweating profusely rejected the proposal of He Yunxiao and Du Yinyun.
"It's not that Li doesn't want to make money, it's just that my Baiyuxuan is an ancestral business, and I really don't want to go to Qi."
He Yunxiao and Sister Du looked at each other, and said the best thing to do: "Well, let's open another store here, and the two of us will cooperate deeply. You only need to expand production, and leave the rest to our store."
"Well, I'm afraid this won't work. The furs in our store are all collected from Orion. Even if we want to expand production, there won't be so many Orion to buy for a while."
"You can take your time, it's really not good, you can also breed and get the skin..."
In the end, no matter how He Yunxiao tried to persuade him, shopkeeper Li just couldn't do it.
Du Yinyun said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm afraid this family is dead."
He Yunxiao sighed, thanked and left.
Simply put, there is more than one fur shop in Jingtian City, but Baiyuxuan can't, just go to another one.
But what He Yunxiao didn't expect was that not only Bai Yuxuan, but even other shops were very jealous of him and Du Yinyun. No matter what favorable terms of cooperation he proposes, the other party just doesn't agree.
He Yunxiao and Du Yinyun ran around for a day, and finally found that not only the fur business, but even other industries, such as porcelain making, sculpture and other "luxury" shops, were afraid to cooperate with him. On the contrary, some stores that have nothing to do with "luxury goods", such as restaurants, dry goods, etc., expressed that they can cooperate.
Such an abnormal scene made He Yunxiao wonder if he was being targeted.
However, he has teamed up with Nangong Yu'er, what power in Yan Guozhong can overwhelm Tingfenglou
