Chapter 376 Help
A few days later, the news came back that it was not their ship.
Huo Xi let out a long breath.
Dad came to the capital every now and then in the past few days, and she dared not let him see the clue.
Arriving at the shop, he and Shen Qianzhong looked at each other, and they could see the expression of relief on the other side. Yang Fu grew up beside Shen Qianzhong, the two were both teachers and friends, and they treated their nephews like elders.
If something happened to Yang Fu, Shen Qianzhong would feel bad.
"Boss, the people here only see the huge profits of the sea trade, but they don't see the danger here."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement: "That's not true. I haven't slept in the past few days."
"Me too. I heard that the Ren family would have to pay tens of thousands of taels just to pay for their worth." Shen Qianzhong thought of the closure of the Ren family's silk and satin shop for clearance of goods in the past two days, and felt infinitely sad.
The ship that capsized this time was made by Ren's silk shop.
It is slightly smaller than the Longxing brand, but it can be regarded as a well-known brand in the capital, and it is also considered a time-honored brand. There are branches all over the country, and there are countless fertile fields at home.
The boat was the same size as the boat that Guangfengshui and the others went this time, both of which were 2,000 boats. It is said that nearly 300 sailors and assistants were recruited.
According to different grades, a person must pay at least one hundred taels of silver. The boss of the ship, the helmsman, the sailor, the accountant, the steward, these people's social status will only be higher.
The Ren family went to sea again exclusively, and all the goods on the ship were their own. It is estimated that there is more than 100,000 taels of goods, and such a large ship has been destroyed, this trip can be regarded as a nerve-wracking trip.
Fortunately, they were on their way back. When I capsized towards the sea, fishermen who went out to sea nearby found them and rescued some people. If it is in the high seas, or in the waters of other countries, it is estimated that nothing will fall.
“I heard that various goods from his family were scattered in the nearby waters, and the nearby fishermen ran to salvage them, and the Ren family even went to the fishermen’s homes to ask them to return the goods.”
Huo Xi sighed deeply after hearing this, the full cargo, more than 1,000 tons, can be sold for a lot of money. "They were all picked up by others, how could they be returned?"
"That's not true. Several stores in the capital of the Ren family are now clearing their warehouses and selling goods at reduced prices, and many people are running to pick up bargains. I heard that their family is still selling property. Boss, should we send someone to pay attention?"
The Ren family has a lot of land and mulberry fields, and there are many houses and shops in Beijing, and there are also many shops in various places. It would be good if you can buy one or two.
Huo Xi shook his head: "I'm going to join in, and I'm suspected of taking advantage of the fire. However, if the other party is helpful to the merchants of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, we will also lend a hand."
"Yes. The owner is benevolent."
It’s not benevolence or injustice, it’s just empathy.
A few days ago, Huo Xi thought it was his own boat, and Huo Xi was anxious. If it was his own boat that turned over in the end, and others would also make trouble, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Everyone in business knows that even though there is a lot of money on the books, it is all in the goods, and there is not much money that can move.
And between supply and marketing, unless you are an individual customer, you can receive money immediately. As long as you do large-scale business, many of the pending payments are still outside and have not been collected.
Otherwise, if the capital chain is broken, it will go bankrupt.
Seeing that the family is big and the business is big, but there is no virtuous cycle, the cash flow in the account is insufficient, the goods are constantly backlogged, the receivables cannot be collected, and the goods that should be sold cannot be sold, and in the end they have to go bankrupt and liquidate , sold goods and products to pay for various expenses.
Today's Ren family is probably the same.
I am afraid that some partners, hearing the bad news about his family, will come to return the goods, or cancel the cooperation agreement. Once the run is over, the goods will be backlogged. They are still waiting for money to keep the business running. If the cash in the account is insufficient, they can only Sell the land and sell the property.
If the eggs are placed in one basket, they will all be smashed with a bang, leaving no one behind.
If they are placed in different baskets, one side will be shattered, and there will still be eggs that can hatch chicks, and the chicks will grow up to reproduce eggs, and then hatch chicks.
Huo Xi sighed, let Shen Qianzhong and Pei's Wan's communicate with each other, and ran to ask Mu Yan for news.
Mu Yan's manpower is still in Ningbo. As soon as the ship approaches the nearby waters, he can send a message back immediately.
As for the Ren family, they finally found Guangfengshui and wanted to see Guangfengshui's owner.
Huo Xi looked at her small body, but didn't go. Let Shen Qianzhong go.
The owner behind Guangfengshui is not revealed to the public, and all merchants are secretly guessing.
Although there are only two shops in the capital, the military uniforms who have been serving as guards for two consecutive years have been sold. I heard that they have given 20% of the dry shares to the nobleman. As for which nobleman it is, I haven't found out.
Anyway, although Guangfeng Minato has a small face, there are people behind him.
There are also people who want to play with Guangfengshui. But it was taken care of before it even made a move. In recent years, no one in Guangfengshui dared to underestimate it.
Besides, they went to sea with Langguangge and Longxing this year. What kind of ordinary people are they? When everyone thought of the surname of Shen, the chief shopkeeper of Guangfengshui, they automatically made up a lot of brains.
The Shen family, which is as rich as a country, has a cornucopia that can generate wealth, and people still talk about it today.
Now that the Ren family is in trouble, they are selling their land and properties to raise money. Many people who have been close to each other on weekdays say they want to help, but they just want to pick up the property behind the Ren family.
Patriarch Ren looked around and saw that there were only a few of them who remained calm, so he searched around and found Guangfengshui.
Patriarch Ren didn't want to take advantage of others, but this trip saw a lot of people's hearts clearly. The family property is sold, why not find the root thick thigh to sell?
Maybe in the future, he can be brought back to life by the light of the other party.
Patriarch Ren wanted to sell Sangtian shops in Jiahu and other places to Guangfengshui.
To be honest, Huo Xi was very moved.
The three hectares of mulberry fields in my family can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year just by selling raw silk. Spun into silk and shipped overseas, the profit can be doubled several times. If he can take over a few hectares of mulberry fields from the other party, and then take over a few shops from his family, it will certainly be beneficial to him.
But Huo Xi thought about it and didn't do it.
Doing business, making money with harmony. When others are in trouble, maybe we will have that day too.
If you step on others when they are in trouble, or wait to take advantage of others, then when others recover, you may be secretly poked and suppressed.
In case of pettiness, it would be bad to send someone to make trouble in the field shop.
Huo Xi thought for a while, and let Shen Qianzhong go to see Patriarch Ren alone. Said that Guangfengshui was willing to lend him one hundred thousand taels of silver to help him tide over the difficulties.
The interest is two cents, and one hundred and twenty thousand taels will be repaid after one year.
Patriarch Ren did not expect to receive such a reply, and almost knelt down to Shen Qianzhong immediately.
At this time, everyone avoided it, fearing that his family would not be able to slow down, and was about to fail, and they all came to the door to settle the payment.
Those who are willing to lend a helping hand are just buying his family’s property at the market price, and there are many people who want to borrow money from his family to tide over the difficulties, but no one is willing to borrow so much.
Guangfengshui was immediately listed as a close and all-weather partner by the Ren family silk and satin team.
