Chapter 337 How to sell goods
Ningbo Port is full of ships and merchants.
Different from staring at the Fanren in Yuezhou, Lei Da and Xiangcao stared at the Fanren and the various large ships of the Fanren when they arrived at Ningbo Port.
A look that has never seen the world.
Huo Xi was not in a hurry to get off the boat, as far as he could see, Ningbo Port was much more bustling than Songjiang Port.
It is worthy of being one of the three major foreign trade ports of the Wei Dynasty. I don't know how it compares with Guangzhou Port, the first port in the southeast.
It is said that Fan people from Wa, Ryukyu Islands, Koryo, and Anguo like to stop at Yuegang and Ningbo ports in Zhangzhou. Portuguese from Luzon Island and Malacca also like to dock at Yuegang and Ningbo Port.
Huo Xi thought about the sugar and porcelain on his boat, shouldn't he worry about selling them? I made up my mind.
Stopped the boat, told the captains of the two ships and the sailors, and told Lei Da and other bodyguards to guard the cargo on board, Huo Xi and Shen Qianzhong got off the boat with vanilla.
As soon as they got off the boat, someone approached them.
"Is it the owner of the ship? Do you need us to help you contact the merchants? We are in the 36th line, and there are people in the industry who are proficient in various languages, and can help you sell the goods quickly."
Huo Xi already knew the Thirty-Six Elements, and hinted at Shen Qianzhong, but Shen Qianzhong declined.
On the way to find a restaurant for dinner, several 36-line dentists came to solicit. They were all rejected.
I found a small restaurant and went in to eat.
Shen Qianzhong didn't know much about thirty-six lines. Guangfengshui only went to Songjiang three times to do sea trade business, and he didn't follow him three times.
While waiting for the dishes, Huo Xi popularized it to him.
She also learned more about the Thirty-Six Elements because of her extra lifetime of memories. At this time, Thirty Lines had not yet formed a scale, nor did it have its own set of rules.
But after the sea ban was lifted, thirty-six lines came into being, and now they are half business and half official.
In addition to communicating with internal merchants and fan merchants, acting as a middleman for Yaren, introducing transaction partners to the two parties, and collecting commissions, the current Thirty-Six Lines has also developed to the stage of selling goods by itself.
The end of the universe is selling goods.
How much money can you make as a dentist? Selling goods makes a lot of money.
The thirty-six lines along the coast have suppressed smuggling and smugglers, and collected the tariffs and profits generated by the trade to the imperial court, so they have the nature of half business and half official, with an official background, and the approval of the court.
Once the official approval is obtained, the courage naturally becomes fatter.
A series of unequal conditions were formulated for domestic and foreign merchants, such as the need to go through thirty-six lines for sales of goods imported and exported, and the need to fill in a report when unloading a ship. Amortized by thirty-six lines...and so on.
Who doesn’t want to lose middlemen when they sell goods?
It’s fine for you to collect commissions and tariffs normally, and make you, like Shibo, formulate a package of regulations on buying and selling goods. It sounds like it is for the court to suppress private traffickers, but you have no selfish intentions?
Isn’t the end of the universe just to sell your goods?
Anyone who wants to dominate the family, smugglers will be banned repeatedly.
Once the smugglers made big profits, they were naturally targeted by water pirates. Water pirates who want to get something for nothing along the coast emerge in endlessly.
After dinner, it was already dark, and the three of them wanted to find an inn at the pier, but it was extremely expensive! A middle room costs five taels of silver, but an upper room costs ten taels!
Nima.
Seeing them coming back, the boat boss laughed: "I heard that there are sea offerings at Ningbo Port every day and night, and the entertainment is not available. There are many people on the boat and many internal merchants. They are all doing business. How can there be a few taels of silver in the purse?" ? If you can kill, of course you have to kill it with a knife."
Huo Xi stared, not to let you slaughter, but don't be so cruel. This is not butchering blood, this is butchering into the bones.
After taking a breath, he got into the cabin and fell asleep with his head covered. I still feel comfortable sleeping in my cabin.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Huo Xi and Shen Qianzhong only took Lei Da with them, and the three of them walked to Thirty-Sixth Street.
Sanshiliuhang Street is the location of the Sanliuhang Commercial Hall. Yiguan is also located here.
When the Fan boat arrived at Ningbo Port, the Fan people were arranged to rest and recuperate in the Thirty-six Barbarian House, where they were arranged to live or learn Chinese.
Fan merchants who had just entered the Wei Dynasty, their eyes were darkened, knowing that they had an official background, and they were willing to be arranged to live in the Thirty-six Hangyi Pavilion, where they sat together with the internal merchants to negotiate the price of goods.
The three of them walked all the way, and they saw Thirty-six Streets, lined with warehouses, workshops, and shops. Looking along the way, there are not only craftsmen's workshops of court craftsmen, but also various workshops and shops opened by folk craftsmen, a gathering of skilled craftsmen.
Such as the glass craftsman, enameller, painter, ivory carver, jade carver, nuclear carver, rice carver, Huo Xi and the three of them were dazzled.
Huo Xi also bought a lot of good things along the way, but most of them just didn't want to buy them, or they just bought them in bulk. They didn't do big transactions, and few shops were willing to chat with them.
The three of them are also thick-skinned, they are not ignored by others, and they rely on them, pretending to be looking around in the shop, looking to buy and sell goods, listening to the shopkeeper and merchant talking about business.
At noon, I simply found a tea shop on Thirty-sixth Street and sat down to observe other people's business.
"Boss, the commissions charged by these thirty-six firms are a bit harsh." Shen Qianzhong couldn't help but click her tongue.
Huo Xi tutted twice: "In the beginning, these people just wanted to earn some money to live on. Who would have thought that when the scale became larger and they were officially recognized, their appetite would naturally increase."
From asking others to do business, now it has become a scale, almost a monopoly. Once a monopoly, of course it is how much commission you want to charge.
The more profits turned over to the court, the more the court will protect it.
Once the imperial court protects it, then naturally it can't let others get rich. So Thirty-Six also started selling goods and started their own business.
Once a person has selfishness, of course he is not satisfied with just making a little money.
Can earn more silver why not?
So Thirty-Six Lines also started selling. You don't make much money selling goods, so do you want to sell private goods? Do you want to smuggle and smuggle goods? Of course I want to.
But the Secretary of Shipbuilding stared. Should we bring them together? Do private goods together and make big money together?
The greater the benefits, the smuggling, smuggling of goods and trading with foreign merchants will naturally be repeatedly prohibited.
"Boss, what shall we do?"
Shen Qianzhong brought her head closer and asked Huo Xi in a low voice. He also turned his head to look at Lei Da.
Lei looked at his nose and heart with big eyes, pretending that he didn't hear or see.
Huo Xi also took a look at Lei Da, and nodded to Shen Qianzhong, who was relieved.
Lei Da followed them, and they felt at ease when traveling, but the goods on both of their ships were a bit shameful. Now look at what the boss means, is Lei Da trustworthy?
This Shengshui Dart Bureau came out of nowhere, and I have never heard of it before. The boss is looking for their bodyguards this time, is it one of their own?
Looked up at Lei Da, turned away, and only discussed how to sell the goods with Huo Xi in a low voice.
There is no fourth update, Basho wants to be lazy on weekends~~
