Liu Pei didn't think it was a pestle. Directly sideways said: "Since that's the case, then please!" Tea is already in the house in front of us, and we can talk about it there. ”

After saying that, Liu Pei led the way in front and led everyone into the hall, which was the hall where Liu Pei and the pirates had gathered last time. However, this large wooden house has been repaired and strengthened by this time, and the area has been greatly expanded. As soon as the person entered, it seemed even more empty.

In the middle of the floor was a huge table, on which something was placed and covered with a cloth. There are also many tables and chairs on both sides.

Liu Pei invited everyone to sit down according to the etiquette of the juniors, and then sent someone to bring tea. After everyone took the tea, someone said, "Before we talk about things, shouldn't Your Excellency the Dragon King talk about our cargo, ships, and sailors?" ”

Liu Peihaha smiled and said, "This is not in a hurry! But I can make a promise to you, that if the negotiations are made today, I will return the sailors and the ships in their original form. But forget about the goods! After all, I'm a pirate, and I live by robbery! ”

Liu Pei's words reassured everyone. It doesn't matter if the goods come back, as long as the ships and people come back, the goods can still be raised. Therefore, the faces of all the people present also softened. A middle-aged man with a bit of immortal wind bones said: "In that case, I don't know what advice the Dragon King has come to me?" ”

Liu Pei said: "Don't dare to advise! However, there are a few things that I think I can discuss with you. Let's start with the first thing. Everyone, please come here. ”

Everyone followed Liu Pei to the big table in the middle. Liu Pei tore off the cloth on the table, revealing a sand table map. This sand table map is a sand table model with a radius of about 5 kilometers centered here.

From the sand table model, you can clearly see that there is a huge harbor on it, and there are straight and crisscrossing roads, and there are various houses. This was made by Liu Pei during this time.

These people were amazed to see this delicate sand table model, but it was only a surprise. For them, these things are miracles

Lewdness, where there is an important book of sages. However, they were still attracted by these models, because these people were not ordinary rotten people, they were people who had seen the world. They could see at a glance what this sand table was trying to say!

A person said "Huh" and said, "Old Li, you look at this thing very interestingly, it seems to be a plan for a certain port." Just don't know where? ”

The old man, who was respectfully called Lin Lao, also nodded and said, "That's right, and this port seems to be very grandly planned. ”

Liu Pei took over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this model is what the future of the land under our feet will look like. I call it a free trade zone! You can see there's a big house in here, and this house is the wooden house where we are now. ”

The old man surnamed Li said: "I think this model is very fine. It's just that I don't know if the dragon king has come up with this model, what can he teach me? ”

Liu Pei said: "Don't dare to preach! It's just a way for everyone to get rich together. Listen to me slowly. ”

After speaking, Liu Pei picked up a thin wooden stick placed next to the table, pointed to the models and explained them one by one: "Needless to say, this is the dock." Here's the unloading area, here's the warehouse. This is the trading floor,......。 ”

After explaining, Liu Pei told the purpose of each building one by one. In fact, Liu Pei took some measures from the modern port, and at the same time added a measure of the trading hall.

In other words, Liu Pei wants to achieve a goal. Even when a merchant arrives here, he can directly deposit the goods directly in the warehouse for a small amount of money. Then take the sample of the goods to the trading floor to seek a trade. The trading floor will send someone to inspect his goods and charge a small fee, and then will help him list on the trading floor and indicate a series of information such as price and quality of goods.

If someone wants to buy such goods, they can inquire about this shipment. If you are interested, you can meet with the businessman directly. After the negotiation is completed, the two parties can deal directly. Or entrust the trading floor to trade on your behalf. As soon as the trading floor confirms that the transaction is complete, a new bill of lading is issued, and the merchant who bought the goods can take it

Documents to pick up the goods. The trading floor charges a fee from it.

After the explanation, Liu Pei added: "And I also tried my best to invite a lot of department stores to open shops here." In this case, everyone can use their internal billing method. In other words, the silver tickets issued here can be exchanged for silver taels directly at the door of your house, isn't it very convenient? ”

A person said with great interest: "I know that the department store is a good business, and it can be described as making money every day!" And I've also used their silver tickets, and it's very useful. ”

Another person said, "I also thought their silver tickets were very useful, so I wanted them to open a shop with us, but they refused." They said that they would have a purpose on their own, step by step to open stores in different cities, and refused to accept our invitation. However, how did you convince them, Dragonlord? ”

The number of department stores in Jiangnan has slowly spread. Of course, these people can see the benefits. In addition, department stores opened in each place and invited local gentry and government officials to take shares, so they were very popular with gentry from all over the world.

But the department store has been cautious and slow. So it's very depressing for those who are greedy for silver. They have more than once joined forces with department stores, or used some means, but they have made the shareholders and alliances of department stores crack. So they wondered how Liu Pei, a pirate, let the department store venture to open a store overseas.

Of course, Liu Pei can't say that he is the majority shareholder of the department store, so he said calmly: "It took me a lot of effort to find their three shareholders, and then put a knife on their necks, and they agreed." ”

The old man surnamed Li said disdainfully: "It's really a pirate style!" ”

Liu Pei looked at the greedy faces of those people, and knew that they were also playing the idea of holding the neck of the shopkeeper of the department store with a knife holder, so he said seriously: "While they accepted my invitation, they also reached an agreement with me. That's their business under my protection! That's why I advise you not to go to the department store idea. Pirates are pirates, but they can also fight on land! ”
