After a calculation, these Jin merchants in Beijing found that they actually earned more than the previous year...... The resentment against Zhao Gongzi was immediately transformed into worship.

Besides, we can't fight in Beijing, and we can go back to our hometown to develop.

After all, when it comes to coal production, it's not that Shanxi boasts, everyone here is a younger brother. As far as the coal in Xishan Coal Mine is concerned, it is simply a drop in the bucket in Shanxi.

And in Shanxi, the old family is the head snake, even if Zhao Gongzi goes to play, it is not smart!

As long as they copy everything that Zhao Gongzi did in Beijing and go back to Shanxi, they can also make a lot of money, and from now on they will sit at home and count the money?

The old Xi'er were eating noodles with hula and hula while imagining happily.

~~

Of course, Yang Sihe will not tell Zhao Hao these words.

After all, it's still quite embarrassing to chase after someone else's butt for a long time, but he didn't even alarm his opponent.

"Seeing Zhao Gongzi's business booming, it would be too fake to say that he was not red-eyed. However, we knew that we were two catties, and we didn't dare to grab food with our son in the capital, so we decided to go back to my hometown, open a Shanxi coal industry, and learn from my son to start a business. He smiled bitterly again and said to Zhao Hao:

"But after a few days of excited discussion, we found that things were not so simple. Because of Zhao Gongzi's success, there are several unrepeatable geographical advantages. ”

"How?" Zhao Hao picked up the teacup, looked at the red and black liquid in it, and said in his heart that Nima wouldn't be old vinegar, right?

He tasted it curiously, hey, it was actually Pu'er tea.

"On the one hand, the Xishan Coal Mine is located in the place where the underground water in the capital gathers, so there are so many coal kilns that are seriously permeable." The Drainage King's will shine. Yang Sihe sighed and said:

"But we are short of water in Shanxi, and there will be no water seepage if the coal kiln is dug down a hundred zhang, so the drainage king can't use it there at all."

"It's a good thing that you don't need it, it means that your coal kilns in Shanxi are easy to mine." Zhao Hao smiled and comforted.

"Hehe, that's ......" Yang Si and Qiang laughed, and said in their hearts, but then we won't be able to earn a vote.

"What else?"

"The Xishan Coal Mine is not only adjacent to Beijing, which has a population of one million, but also extends in all directions, so it can break the rule of 'no selling wood for 100 miles' and sell coal to seven or eight million people." Yang Sihe said again:

"Our province in Shanxi has a population of just over 8 million, and coal is produced everywhere. Not to mention that you can't sell wood for hundreds of miles, you can't sell it for dozens of miles...... So the coal there is too cheap, only forty or fifty yuan and one hundred catties, and it is a lot of money. ”

"Of the three, displaced people from all over the country have run to Beijing, and even our ordinary people in Shanxi are the same, so that there are countless cheap workers in the Xishan coal industry. This is something that we can't compare with Shanxi...... In our country, digging coal is similar to farming, and the common people are too dirty to do it. ”

"Hmm." This Zhao Hao has no objection. When he did research before, he had already determined that Beijing was the most suitable city for the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no one.

Shanxi's current conditions are indeed far from being comparable to Beijing's.

So this is destined to Jin Shang, and he can't replicate Zhao Hao's success through simple imitation.

After speaking, Yang Sihe got up and said deeply at Zhao Hao:

"Throughout the ages, there has been no one who is more business-savvy than Childe. Dare to ask why Childe taught me to wait? ”

"Is this ......" Zhao Hao said with a thoughtful expression: "One place is the same, I haven't been to Shanxi, how can I say it well?" ”

Yang Sihe looked at Yang Bo, and when he saw his uncle nodding, he gritted his teeth and said: "We in Shanxi Coal Industry are willing to give half of the dry shares and hire Gongzi as our senior staff!" ”

"Yo." Zhao Hao couldn't help but be impressed, and gave five percent of the dry shares when he came up with an idea, but he didn't expect that these old Xi'er were quite willing to put down their books, and it was no wonder that people would be dominant in the future.

"We have raised a million taels of silver in share capital...... Yang Sihe told Zhao Hao again. In the future, not to mention compared with Xishan Company, it is not a problem to be worth thousands of taels. ”

"Yang Yuanwai, this is the outside." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Then I'll say it in vain, and you can listen to it." If it's not suitable, just have fun. ”

"Chengcheng, please speak." Yang Sihe hurriedly went to the table to get paper and pens, and listened attentively.

"There is a way to open a coal company in Shanxi. Although there are six major coal-producing areas in Shanxi, tens of thousands of small coal kilns, but the transportation is inconvenient, the technology is backward, and the coal bosses are generally not strong, and there are many mothers-in-law, which will inevitably cause high production costs, and the coal is cheap, so naturally there is not much money. ”

"Zhao Gongzi is an expert!" Yang Sihe slapped his thigh, and his uncle asked him to ask Zhao Hao to help with his ideas, but he was still a little reluctant. "It's because the profit is too thin, so we Jin merchants would rather go to the west exit and break into Beijing than touch the coal kiln at home."

Sure enough, it's still my uncle's wisdom. Zhao Gongzi actually knows so much about the situation in Shanxi......

"Doing business is that people abandon me, and people take me away." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "I believe that if Shanxi Coal Industry can take advantage of the advantages of capital, management and other aspects, it can reduce the selling price by one to two percent, and it can quickly form an industry monopoly...... If you don't have such a big appetite for a while, you can start by monopolizing the coal mines in Taiyuan. ”

"Hmm. Taiyuan also has Xishan, and the quality of our coal in Xishan is much better than that in Xishan, Beijing. Yang Sihe nodded heavily.

"But I don't recommend promoting coal lotus root in Taiyuan."

"Why?" Yang Sihe and Yang Bo asked in unison.

"Because the people of Shanxi are already burning coal." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Why do you want to teach them how to save coal?" ”

"Oh, hahaha......" Yang Bo laughed loudly when he heard this: "The virtuous nephew is really treacherous, but I like it." ”

"Also, coal lotus root saves too much compared to loose coal, and we are already worried about sales, how can we promote this thing." Yang Sihe also laughed, and then said worriedly: "But there are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan alone, and the market is limited after all." ”

"Taking Taiyuan is only the first step, which can help Shanxi company lay a solid foundation." Zhao Hao said again: "Then you have two choices. Either go east or go south. ”

"What do you say about eastward expansion?" When it comes to the strategic level, Lao Yang Boke is not sleepy.

"Eastward expansion is to open up the transportation from Yangquan to Zhengdingfu, and the coal from the west to the east." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice.

"Yangquan to Zhengding Mansion? Know the ropes. Yang Bo gave a thumbs up and said: "In the Taihang Eight Mountains, you can take a big car on this Jingcheng Road!" ”

The whole Shanxi is rich in resources, in addition to the endless coal, there is also extremely rich iron ore, and Shanxi's iron smelting industry is also very developed...... The reason why it is difficult is because it is separated from the Central Plains by the continuous Taihang Mountain from north to south, and there are only eight trails dug in ancient times to pass, and the traffic is very inconvenient.

"The coal merchants of Yangquan used camels and mules to transport coal to Zhengding to sell it since the Song and Yuan dynasties." Yang Sihe said with a wry smile: "But Jingcheng Road's 'cars can't be square, and they can't ride in columns', and the transportation capacity is very limited, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket." ”

"That's why I said, we need to open up the traffic between the two places!" Zhao Hao punched on the table and said categorically: "Why do you want to open a company, why do you want to issue shares?" Is it for the sake of money? ”

Yes, it is.

"It's to concentrate on big things!" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Just like the Xishan Company wants to overhaul the Jingxi Mountain Road, the Shanxi Company also has to come up with the courage to overhaul the Jingcheng Road!" ”

"Good!" Yang Bo applauded excitedly: "This Ming Dynasty needs the courage of a virtuous nephew!" ”

"But how steep is Taihang Mountain? Is it comparable to the small col of Mentougou? The corners of Yang Sihe's mouth were a little bitter and said: "I don't have the conditions to build the Great Dao, otherwise the imperial court would have repaired it at the expense of blood......

"There is no need to widen it, just repair the existing Jingcheng Road and turn the original track into railroad tracks!" But I heard Zhao Haoshi say in shock.
