"Oh, I saw it very clearly the day before yesterday. Silver bars were built into silver walls, and the sun shone like that... Tsk tsk, I almost couldn't open my eyes because of the white light!"

"Then, that...why are you not going to hit?"

"I want to win too, but think about it, there are 2,000 places and more than 20,000 people going to compete for it, and about one of eleven people is less than 10%. How could it be so good to win?"

"One of eleven... Alas... there are many people..."

"Who said no? If you miss this time, you can only wait for the next time."

"When will there be a clear message next time?"

"No, no matter what, it will take a month later... I can only wait..."

In the wine shop, several merchants were chatting about the hottest topic recently: Silver Exchange sold silver, and 200,000 taels of silver were sold out within half a day.

There were more than 20,000 people participating in this silver sales, which was the one who completed the procedures before the registration date. Many people were late to receive the message and failed to catch up with the registration, so they missed the lottery draw.

The grand occasion of the day of the number drawing has been heard by the participants, and the silver walls radiating light have become a scenery that everyone talks about.

Liang Jun, who was lucky enough to participate in the number draw, told his friends about his experience that day, and he failed to become one of the two thousand people. Others felt quite sorry for this. After all, no one would think that the money was too much, and he had to buy it if he had the chance.

Everyone was regretting, but Liang Jun, who couldn't help but sigh, was secretly happy. In fact, he won the lottery and bought 300 taels of silver, but his wealth was not revealed. He had been doing business for many years and knew how to act in a low-key manner.

The trading rules of Guangling Silver Exchange are very fair, but in fact they have opened a backdoor. As long as someone who is not stupid in his mind can use this backdoor to increase his chance of being drawn. Liang Jun is one of them.

The reason is very simple. He sent twenty people, each of whom brought his usual gold and silver money to the exchange to register and obtain the qualification to participate in the number draw.

He himself also took the battle himself, so he had 21 people participating in the draw of numbers, winning three numbers, and getting three hundred taels of silver. However, he was not lucky and could not be drawn.

This is also good. After all, no one knows that he has bought silver, and it will not cause unnecessary trouble.

Liang Jun can think of such methods, and others can definitely think of them. If there are more people who are richer than him, if you really want to make arrangements, you may even find hundreds of people to participate in the number draw.

This situation is bound to happen, but the more people participate, the lower the chance of winning. Anyway, no matter who buys silver in the end, it doesn't matter to the exchange, and the court doesn't care.

Everyone could see clearly what they should take advantage of, and they should sell gold, silver and money. However, for the sake of the money, they pinched their noses and accepted this conspiracy and laughed it off.

At this time, Liang Jun laughed at his "missing" opportunity and then discussed business opportunities with his friends.

There are many business opportunities in Guangling City. It is not difficult to make a fortune. The difficulty lies in how to seize the business opportunities. Liang Jun has been doing business for many years and claims to have seen countless strong winds and waves. However, at this time, Guangling is no longer the Guangling of the past, and the competition is much more fierce.

How to find first-line business opportunities in the fierce competition made Liang Jun unable to think about it. After thinking about it, he thought about it and thought of a way, but because of insufficient financial resources, he needed to find someone to work with him.

Friends were surprised that Liang Jun would actually be "insufficient in financial resources", and they found it even more incredible when they heard Liang Jun's business opportunities.

The business opportunity Liang Jun found was selling paper.

Selling paper is now also a good way to make money. Bamboo paper produced in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is good and cheap. It is not only sold well in various places, but also sold to various countries in the east and southeast China.

Among these papers, bamboo paper produced in Huangzhou is the most famous. The papermaking process of bamboo paper produced in Han Mian, Dongting Lake and Pengli Lake areas originated from Huangzhou, so its reputation gradually became famous.

It is precisely because Huangzhou's papermaking, publishing and printing industries took the lead in making paper, books and printed products a commodity with small profits and quick turnover, and if shipped overseas, it will become a commodity with huge profits.

Everyone here knows this, and the business opportunities raised by Liang Jun are actually "specially customized".

What is special customization?

It is to draw a specified pattern on the product according to the buyer's requirements, so that copper can be sold for gold.

For example, Fuliang's porcelain is already widely sought after by maritime merchants and is sold to the west in Persia and other countries, with supply exceeding demand. Fuliang's porcelain kilns, according to the requirements of maritime merchants, fire the agreed patterns when firing porcelain, and the selling price will rise rapidly.

To be more specific, the maritime merchants in Persia customize porcelain for domestic aristocrats. These porcelains must be painted with patterns, patterns, portraits, and even family logos according to the aristocrats' preferences.

Such "customized" porcelain is unique, so buyers are willing to spend twice or even several times more money to buy.

Similarly, if silk, cloth, brocade and other textiles can draw (embroider) specific patterns and patterns according to the buyer's requirements, the cost will not increase much, but the selling price will increase significantly.

This specially customized trading form was realized under the leadership of Nanyang Trading Company. The company matched the maritime merchants and Zhongyuan workshop owners, allowing maritime merchants to "customize" special products and make more money together.

Not only porcelain, glassware, and textiles can be customized, but also paper and print.

Take Persia as an example. The state religion of Persia, which is called "Zoroastrianism" in the Central Plains, most of Persia believe in Zoroastrianism, and in daily life, many religious supplies are used.

Religious products must have specific religious symbols and patterns. If the Central Plains prints can directly print various exquisite patterns on paper according to the needs of Persia, then such printed materials will definitely be sold at a good price in Persia.

Or, if you use Persian language to print classics from Persian, you can get higher profits after such "customization" and the same amount of paper is used.

This is the case for printed products sold in accordance with the national conditions of Persia, and this is also the case for printed products sold in accordance with the national conditions of the Indian countries. This "special customization" is the trade form that Nanyang Trading Company will soon develop.

Everyone was stunned when they listened to Liang Jun's analysis. Many of them had been doing business for so many years and had never thought that paper could be sold like this.

Is this reliable thing to engage in "special customization" with buyers thousands of miles away?

"Now that the sea trade is booming, this transaction will inevitably be very popular in the future. It's just that the investment is quite large. Liang is short of money, so I want to see if everyone is interested in a partnership..."

As soon as Liang Jun finished speaking, someone asked: "Brother Liang, will Nanyang Trading Company provide such a business? What kind of entrepreneurial support will be provided?"

"Yes, but the funds are raised by themselves. Liang can find a loan from the Guifang. He just thinks that it is better to make a fortune together than everyone has such a friendship. Why bother to make money from outsiders? "

"So, can such printed materials be sold to Persia be physically available?"

"Some, Nanyang Trading Company has conducted several such 'special customization' transactions with Persian maritime merchants. I brought a few prints from them a few days ago... Come on, let's take a look."

Liang Jun distributed several prints that had been prepared. Someone looked at the prints he had obtained and saw a person with wings painted on it, and couldn't help but blurted out: "What is this? Birdman?"

Liang Jun was so amused and laughed: "Birdman? Oh, Brother Cheng, don't talk nonsense. This is not a birdman, it is a symbol of Zoroastrianism. I can't remember what the specific name is, it's too difficult to talk."

Seeing the other party confused, he then asked: "Brother Cheng, don't you know the eccentricism?"

"I don't know."

"Hey, forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't know. Remember, don't say that the pattern is a birdman in front of the Hu people."

The man seemed to understand, "Why is this?"

"The Hu people mostly believe in Zoroastrianism, such as Sogdian Hu. You know that Sogdian Hu merchants are everywhere. If you deal with them in the future, don't really think of this pattern as a bird man. At the very least, there will be a waste of business, and at the worst, there will be bloody disasters."

"oh...."

Everyone nodded, looked at the prints in their hands, felt the exotic style on them, and couldn't help but be moved by Liang Jun's proposal.

While we were talking, we suddenly heard the noise on the streets outside the window, and it seemed that some news was coming.

Someone moved out and came back a moment later and told the news that he had come back: "It is said that a Persian envoy set sail thousands of miles to Guangzhou, and now he has arrived in Guangling by ship from the Nanyang Trading Company."

Regarding this news, everyone in the room started to talk about it: "The envoy of Persia? It's true or false. The dynasty seems to have never had contact with the Persian state?"

"It is said that in the past, foreign foreign merchants used to impersonate national envoys to Jiankang to pay tribute to local goods. The emperor of Jiankang was of course happy to see the foreign countries sending envoys to the court, so he rewarded countless gold, silver and treasures..." Liang Jun said, his voice gradually became smaller.

"If you are afraid, you are afraid. What kind of bird man pretended to be the envoy of Persia and came to the Central Plains to cheat food and drink..."
