Coming to sit down with a golden knife, the big speaker said: "My lord's surname is Gao, the Gao family on Huifu Street has heard of it, and our Gao family money village is ranked first in the entire Guangzhou City." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I am the housekeeper of the Gao family. I heard that your account is engaged in cloth trading, and the sales are good, but it only supplies Zhang's cloth company. Now my lord has ordered me to come to discuss, can we cut off Zhang's supply and supply us, we can add 10% to their price, and we will eat as much as you have. ”

It turned out to be a money bank, with a lot of money, no wonder the shelf is so big and so confident. Seeing that Qiongzhou cloth was selling well, I wanted to plug in. The idea is good, the reading is accurate, and the business acumen. But how did they know about their connection to Qiongzhou Bu?

Xia Nan asked, "I don't know how your master concludes that this Qiongzhou cloth is supplied by me?" ”

The person who came was very proud: "We found out from the guys of Zhang's cloth shop that this cloth is produced in Lingao County, the capital of Qiongzhou, and in the past few days, you have bought a lot of slaves and sent them to the ship to transport them away, and we can find out from the owner of the ship that you are transporting them back to Lingao." The place in Qiongzhou is poor and remote, and if you transport so many women back, it is impossible to cultivate the land and open up the wasteland, and the biggest possibility is to work and weave. So the lord made a post to ask Nanhai County to ask, and sure enough, it was so. ”

I see, Xia Nan admires the analysis and reasoning skills of the other master, however, he does not plan to change partners.

First, raising the purchase price will inevitably increase the selling price, which is not in line with his plan; Second, such a shrewd, well-financed, and well-connected partner with the government will not be at his mercy, and may even be able to control himself. A single post can drive the local government and tell him bluntly to his face, which is not only a show of his strength, but also a demonstration in disguise.

Xia Nan pursued a monopoly on the entire cloth market in Guangdong, rather than pursuing short-term windfall profits at the end of the year. This goal, only a partner like Zhang Mingli who is willing to cooperate can meet his requirements. Of course, this Gao family can't be too offended now, so they have to think of a delaying tactic to send it away.

After considering the wording, Xia Nan replied thoughtfully: "We are working day and night, and we can only produce a few hundred pieces of cloth every month, and what is supplied to Zhang's cloth store is a few months' stock, and it is not eye-catching to think that the business of a few hundred pieces of cloth per month is expensive." What's more, to weave such cotton cloth comparable to silk, we need a special cotton on Qiongzhou Island, which is only available in the places of the Li people, and now we can't supply cotton, and we still need to negotiate with the Li people. When we increase the output, it is not too late to talk to you about cooperation. ”

His words are true and false, both true and false, and there are places to coax the other party, such as not mentioning his advanced textile equipment, the monthly output is also mixed with a lot of water, and the supply of cotton is even more nonsense. As for the future output, as long as the workers are in place, the monthly output of tens of thousands of horses can be.

These words sounded quite sincere, and there was some truth, but the person who came tilted his head and thought about it, and nodded: "What you said makes some sense, so I will go back to my master." However, if you solve all the problems you said and don't fulfill your promise today, be careful that your cloth business can't go on in Guangzhou! After saying that, he walked away.

Arrogant, absolutely arrogant! Liu Quan was angry, and he had a feeling that the lord had humiliated his ministers to death, and he said hatefully: "Master, this Gao family is inevitably taking himself too seriously, is this Guangzhou City not open by him?" He said that whoever can't do business can't do it, who can't do it? ”

Xia Nan can see it, just a few cruel words, and it doesn't hurt the flesh and skin. In fact, this is the monopoly of foreign high-quality goods by local forces, which has been the same throughout the ages.

This Gao family not only has a relationship with the Nanhai County Ya, otherwise they would not be so confident, it seems that they must be careful with this Gao family in the future. But now he doesn't have time to dwell on this matter, in addition to buying people, there are three foreigners waiting for him to take it, this is the key to sea domination, as long as he is strong, all ghosts and ghosts will be wiped out in the face of absolute power.

Since the Gao family was sent away with a delaying tactic, then the Nanhai County Ya is not a problem, and the matter of buying people can continue.

Xia Nan told Liu Quan to buy enough people for about 500 people, so he set off to Lingao, and then sent someone to Zhang's cloth shop to deliver a message, so that Zhang Mingli could meet with him, and he had to give him a thorough understanding of the Gao family, and some things had to be explained in person.

After the matter was assigned, I went to meet the three foreigners, which was the biggest gain of this trip to Guangzhou, and it was irreplaceable. He came to the door of Maria's room, knocked on the door and asked, "Beautiful Miss Maria, may I come in?" ”

"Absolutely." A sound of joy came from inside, and the door was opened, and Maria appeared in the door with a smile on her face.

"My knight, where are you taking me today? I really like the porridge I ate yesterday and I want to eat it again today, is that okay? ”

In the old days, in the western suburbs of Guangzhou, lychee trees were planted on both sides of the river, called Lychee Bay, and the "Liwan Evening Singing", one of the eight views of the ancient Yangcheng, refers to here. Every summer dusk, there is no shortage of literati and tourists from all walks of life come here to play, and the river boats shuttle back and forth. Among them, there are small boats that specialize in serving "boat porridge". If the tourists need, the owner of the porridge boat will hand over the porridge one by one, this product is a collection of a variety of raw materials, many but not miscellaneous, crisp and soft, fresh and sweet, fragrant, suitable for everyone's taste, very popular.

"Of course, you can eat as many bowls as you want. However, I have to tell you the fact that we come from a large island across the Canton Strait, and now that we are done, we have to go back. ”

Maria didn't expect to hear the news, and she was a little stunned all of a sudden.

She escaped marriage and came to the East, most of the reason was to admire this artifact country rich in tea, porcelain, and silk, although there was a little accident, but she met Xia because of a blessing in disguise, a beautiful man who was more gentlemanly than the British.

He is not only personable, but also young and golden, these days with his company, life is like paradise, you can go to play wherever you want, eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want, live in such a clean and beautiful hotel, it is estimated that you have not lost your two hundred taels of silver, and you can't meet such expenses.

Most importantly, he takes great care of himself. This summer has satisfied all her fantasies about the other half of her marriage, and she really wants to get along with him like this, even if nothing happens in the end, she will not be in vain for this trip to the East. It's a pity that the reality is cruel, he is going back to his home, so where should he go, just go back to the UK?
