Chapter 492: The Merchants of the Hundred Schools
October 10, Shanhai City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first time Ouyang Shuo saw Bai Xue, he was amazed, his temperament was unparalleled, and people couldn't bear to blaspheme.
There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent.
"Miss Bai Xue, welcome to Shanhai City."
Ouyang Shuo stood at the door of the main hall and personally greeted the young master of the Bai Clan's trading company.
Such preferential treatment flattered Bai Xue.
After explaining the procurement matters to Yingyu, Ouyang Shuo's next goal is to try to persuade the Cui Chamber of Commerce and the Bai Trading Company to move their headquarters to Shanhai City before the end of the year.
Because once the system is updated and the super trading platform is canceled, the major chambers of commerce in Wangcheng, except for Quanzhou, will not be able to get in touch with Shanhai City for the time being.
Especially in Xianyang, the territory of the [Yanhuang League] is separated between the two places, and the trade route cannot be opened at all.
In this regard, Ouyang Shuo naturally had to plan early.
Needless to say, the Cui Chamber of Commerce has long had the intention of moving. The connection between the Cui family and Shanhai City is getting closer and closer. Among the children of the Cui family, in addition to Cui Shouhei, who served as the prefect of Yun'an Prefecture in Zhaoqing County, there were two officials to the county order.
The Cui family has influence in both the political and business circles of the territory that cannot be ignored.
On the trade-off, Shanhai City is obviously more attractive to the Cui family than Dali.
The future of the Cui family in the territory is even more imaginative. Therefore, after Ouyang Shuo revealed his words, the head of the Cui family immediately made a decision and immediately started the family migration.
Cui's Chamber of Commerce has been operating in Shanhai City for the longest time and has won a large piece of land in Xicheng District. Therefore, the Cui family's migration this time was not hasty.
Perhaps, the head of the Cui family has been planning this matter for a long time.
Of course, the migration of a family is not a simple matter. Some of the shops left in Dali will be transferred, and some will be retained and continue to be operated by arrangers.
The hundreds of shopkeepers and men hired by the family should also be settled one by one. Those who are willing to settle in Shanhai City are naturally easy to say, and everything is business as usual.
If you don't want to, you don't force it, everyone is good to gather and disperse.
The Cui family's connections in Dali, what should be operated, must continue to operate. The head of the Cui family had a far-sighted vision and concluded that the future achievements of the Marquis of Lianzhou were limitless.
Maybe in a few years, the whole of Dali will be placed under the rule of Shanhailing.
The difficult thing to do is the Shirak Trading Company.
Although Bai Xue is the young master of a trading company, there is also her father Bai Gui. This Shang Ancestor is the real person at the helm behind the scenes, holding the lifeblood of the Bai Clan's trading company.
Bai Gui, Ouyang Shuo can't see it for the time being. The only way is to convince the white snow in front of you first. In business, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to use Wei Ying's relationship to kidnap Bai Xue.
As the saying goes, a gentleman has something to do, and he doesn't do something.
In addition, the nature of the Bai Trading Company and the Cui Chamber of Commerce is different. Cui's Chamber of Commerce is the aboriginal force of the main map, and the connections in Dali are intertwined.
Of course, the influence of the Cui Chamber of Commerce was limited to Dali before.
The Bai Clan Trading Company is different in that it suddenly appeared after the Spring and Autumn Warring States joined the wilderness process.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo knew very little about the details and foundation of the Bai trading company. On the surface, the headquarters of the Bai trading company is located in Xianyang, which is just an inconspicuous chamber of commerce.
It is difficult for outsiders to know what the truth is.
After all, the historical Bai clan trading company was a behemoth, combining trade and intelligence.
Ouyang Shuo estimated that Fan Li's news must have been deliberately revealed by Bai Gui to his daughter Bai Xue, and he deliberately sold Ouyang Shuo a good one.
Among them, what kind of calculations does Bai Gui have? Does it mean that the merchants of the hundreds of schools are also ready to surface and strive for a status that matches their wealth?
What kind of tacit understanding and planning is there between Bai Gui and Fan Li?
Everything is a fog.
Although the controversy conference has come to an end, the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought has only just begun.
Since the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties and dynasties have had the figure of hundreds of schools of thought, active on the historical stage. The difference is that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were in the light, and then in the dark.
The disputes of hundreds of schools will accompany the entire course of the game.
Because of the game, schools of thought that had previously been historically inconspicuous may shine in the wilderness.
Merchants are among the outstanding representatives.
In the wilderness, how could it be that Ouyang Shuo was a lord who paid attention to the development of commerce.
It is reported that the business atmosphere of Danyang City, which is operated by Chun Shenjun, is better than that of Shanhai City. After all, Chun Shenjun's family itself is a business family.
Doing business is what they are best at.
Except for Chun Shenjun, the other lords are not fools, and they will not be limited by ancient thinking to do anything stupid about "valuing agriculture and suppressing business".
Therefore, merchants can be said to have a lot to do in the wilderness.
Moreover, in all dynasties, merchants can be regarded as talents. Shen Wansan, Qiao Zhiyong, Hu Xueyan and others are all thunderous existences in modern society.
That's right, how could Bai Gui and Fan Li stay silent.
For the mysterious circle between historical figures, whether it is the Black Snake Guard or the Shanhaiwei, it cannot be infiltrated for the time being. Gaia obviously has a plan for this.
I just don't know what Gaia's ultimate goal is.
Ouyang Shuo summoned Bai Xue this time, firstly, to discuss the relocation of the headquarters of the Bai Clan, and secondly, he also wanted to test the bottom of the Bai Clan Trading Company and see what kind of medicine was being sold in Bai Gui's gourd.
The two of them were seated in the main hall, both looking at each other cautiously, their eyes full of inquiry.
What Ouyang Shuo was curious about was Bai Gui behind Bai Xue, and even Fan Li.
What Bai Xue was curious about was Ouyang Shuo himself.
For Ouyang Shuo, how could Bai Xue not be curious. She is very aware of the character of her husband Wei Ying, and if she does not meet the master of the world, she will never go out of the mountain easily.
Historically, Wei Ying traveled around the world, refused the invitations of countless monarchs, and finally unexpectedly chose the Qin State, which was in a worrying situation at that time.
One of the reasons is because of Qin Xiaogong.
What kind of charm does the man in front of him have that can make Wei Ying follow him with all his heart?!
On the surface, Ouyang Shuo was breezy and light. The repeated battles on the battlefield wiped out the immaturity on Ouyang Shuo's face, and replaced it with perseverance and strength.
The face was like a knife, hard and cold.
Although he intended to control it, Ouyang Shuo's body still faintly exuded a compelling murderous aura, as well as a vast imperial aura.
The two completely incompatible temperaments were perfectly integrated in Ouyang Shuo's body.
As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace.
The way of benevolence and the way of killing, as far as the king is concerned, are interchangeable existences, and they are not contradictory.
Therefore, even if Ouyang Shuo's expression was gentle, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
Bai Xue didn't dare to underestimate the person in front of him.
It's just that Bai Xue still doesn't know the purpose of the other party's invitation.
It stands to reason that as a guest, Bai Xue settled in Shanhai City and should come to visit Ouyang Shuo, the host. It's just that when Bai Xue came to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo was far away in Zhaoqing County.
Ouyang Shuo's return this time is only known to a very few people. Just last night, the guards of the Imperial Guardian Mansion went to the Mansion of the Imperial Court to report that the lord would summon Bai Xue tomorrow morning.
"I don't know what kind of positioning the Bai family trading company has for the market of Shanhai City?" After a little greeting, Ouyang Shuo opened the conversation. For Ouyang Shuo, even if he wants to test a person, he doesn't have to beat around the bush.
"Shanhai City is prosperous in business, and the government also has a lot of support for the Chamber of Commerce, even Xianyang, in terms of business openness and inclusiveness, it is inferior to Shanhai City."
When Bai Xue heard this, he threw out the "words" that he had prepared a long time ago.
When she met Wei Ying, Bai Xue once joked that she wanted Wei Ying to help her and let the Bai family trading company gain a foothold in Shanhai City. In fact, how could Bai Xue really go to work martingale.
She really knows too well what kind of person her husband is.
As far as Wei Ying is concerned, everything must be done in accordance with the law, and how can he show favoritism because of her.
Therefore, before Bai Xue came to see Ouyang Shuo, she had already made up her mind to find a breakthrough in him. As long as Ouyang Shuo, the lord, speaks, the Bai Clan Trading Company can really gain a foothold in Shanhai City.
Otherwise, the Bai family trading company will not even be able to get a shop, let alone go to the luxury of taking the land, and rebuild the workshop area according to the layout of the trading company.
The current Shanhai City is completely different from when the city was first built.
During Wei Ran's reign, in order to accelerate the construction of Shanhai City, the Chamber of Commerce was attracted to settle in. Wei Ran opened the door of convenience to the major chambers of commerce, asking for land and policies.
It is precisely in this way that the tone of the early development of Shanhai City has been laid.
Now it is different, Shanhai City has passed the stage of extensive development. After Zang Wenzhong took office, the auction of land has begun to tighten.
When the Jiugongge urban plan is introduced, it will be even more difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to acquire land. In the entire Shanhai City, there are only two major business districts, Dongcheng District and Xicheng District, which allow the Chamber of Commerce to build a workshop area.
As for Midtown, the competition is even fiercer.
The major chambers of commerce, for a section of the dock, can pinch the rack countless times.
It is conceivable how difficult it is for the "newcomer" of the Bai family trading company to gain a foothold.
After all, old chambers of commerce such as the Hequan Kee Chamber of Commerce all supported the construction of Shanhai City very early, and these chambers of commerce were generous when Shanhai City was in difficulty.
The construction of Leizhou County has a contribution to the major chambers of commerce.
Therefore, the Commercial Division has certain preferential treatment for these chambers of commerce.
And what about the White Trading Company? At least, Shanhai City hasn't seen its value yet.
Bai Xue estimated that if it weren't for the news she brought Fan Li, it is estimated that she would not even be able to step into the threshold of the Commercial Division. Unless, Wei Martingale comes forward.
It is precisely for this reason that Bai Xue attaches great importance to this meeting.
Bai Xue's love for Wei Ying is naturally beyond doubt. But at the same time, Bai Xue is an independent woman, and she is eager to make her own career outside of the family.
Entering Shanhai City this time may be a test for her by her father Bai Gui.
Bai Xue, don't want to fail. (To be continued.) )
