Chapter 687
With Xu Caining's assistance, this distinguished business group in the capital was finally established.
Xu Caining has experience in running the Sihai Trading Company. It is too easy to set up a business group mainly focused on reclamation. He mobilizes a few people from the Sihai Trading Company to do various accounting, purchasing, and transportation.
Once the department is set up, all that's left is to fill it with people.
According to Xu Caining's point of view, in this business firm, the positions from the big shopkeepers to the small accountants and managers of various departments must be reserved for these Earls and Lords' own people. If they don't arrange some manpower themselves,
, in fact, there is no sense of participation.
However, what surprised Xu Caining was that his uncles directly rejected her suggestion. Except for the armed guards of the trading house, these lords expressed their duty to entrust all the running of the trading company to Xu Caining.
Judging from their posture, apart from providing money and force for protection, this means they intend to do nothing and just wait for annual dividends.
Of course, if Xu Caining is willing to train some talents for these uncles and uncles, each family can still send some of their children and nephews to the trading company. However, they are purely coming to the trading company to learn and work, not to take charge of the business.
Xu Caining had no choice but to accept this reality, so under the name of Sihai Trading Company, a sub-firm called "Sanjiang Trading Company" appeared inexplicably.
Regarding the name of this trading company, the nobles were not polite to Xu Caining. There were all kinds of weird names. Some said it was called "Da Ming Weiwu Trading Company", some said it was more appropriate to call it "Dingliao Trading Company", and even worse,
I feel that if His Majesty is given the name, this business will be even more powerful. With the royal blessing and His Majesty’s golden words, it will be difficult not to make money in the future!
Xu Caining rejected these strange names without hesitation, and finally chose "Sanjiang Trading Bank" as the name of this trading company. Xu Caining originally took it from the meaning of "Business is booming across the three rivers, and wealth is flourishing all over the world."
I am very satisfied with this name. I feel that as Xu Caining and Jiang Wanhui, their business firm will be called Sihai Trading Company, and ours will be called Sanjiang Trading Company. These three rivers are equal to Sihai!
Although everyone knows that the Sihai Trading Company is a behemoth at the moment, Xu Caining is still one of the people in the eyes of the nobles. Using the name Sanjiang and comparing it with Sihai is to unabashedly put gold on the faces of people like himself.
Of course everyone is happy with this kind of face-saving thing.
As the business firm gained some insights, Jiang Wan left the capital and returned to Zhenjiang Fort with a vote of shareholder agents from "Sanjiang Trading Company".
These agents were naturally the nephews and nephews trusted by the nobles. They were sent to Zhenjiang Fort to establish a branch of Sanjiang Trading Company, and then contacted the Overseas Zhenfu Division to determine the location of the land they purchased. Jiang Wan was happy to take them with him.
This group of young people went on the road together. In the eyes of this group of young people, Jiang Wan was now a golden Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth, but in Jiang Wan's eyes, these young people were seedlings that were about to grow into towering trees.
In the land of Liaodong, under the influence of Jiang Wan's overseas governor, these young people may become the most important force in the Ming Dynasty in a few years.
They themselves are qualified and knowledgeable, they have resources behind them, and even their families have the favor of the entire empire. More importantly, this group of young people are the group of people who are least willing to see the Ming Dynasty decline.
In their hearts, they only hope that this empire will get better and better and stronger.
Gushan Fort, the mountain col where the two armies held talks.
Sun Yuanhua dragged his tired body and walked out. Today's negotiations have ended. In fact, there are not many things that can be extracted from the hands of the Tartars now, and his main energy is not to compete with the Tartars in negotiations.
He was brave, but he was urging the Tartar to implement what he had promised as soon as possible.
This small mountain col has become the main place for the two armies to hand over the supplies negotiated. Every day, a large number of carriages and horses come and go. A heavy rain a few days ago made the mountain col reach Gushan.
The road between the forts and camps became extremely muddy, making it extremely difficult for vehicles and horses to travel.
Li Zicheng, nicknamed "General Ditch", could not bear to see this situation. He gave an order, and three or five days later, a simple road that, although not spacious, was countless times better than walking in the mud, started from here.
The small mountain col spreads all the way to the Gushanbao camp.
This greatly accelerated the Ming army's transportation of supplies sent by the Tartars.
On the Tartar side, heavy rain delayed the trip, and many things that were supposed to be delivered were not delivered for a long time, which made both Sun Yuanhua and Li Zicheng lose their patience.
Li Zicheng even had some doubts as to whether the Tartars had seen that everything was fine in the past month and the floods had receded. They felt that their backs had become stronger and they could stand up again.
So Sun Yuanhua just gave the Tartars an ultimatum. On the tenth day, if the things they promised have not been delivered in full, he will no longer appear here, and future negotiations will be left in the hands of soldiers from both sides.
Let’s use swords, guns, bows and arrows!
When we walked out of the mountain col, both sides of the road were very lively. In addition to the carriages and horses returning from the camp, there was actually a small market on this side of the mountain col. There were almost everyone selling food, drinks and supplies.
This made Sun Yuanhua feel a little dazed, as if he was not on the frontline battlefield fighting the Tartars, but back in a market town in a small county in Dengzhou.
"Why are there so many people? Are these people from nearby areas?"
He frowned and asked, "There weren't so many people the other day!"
"Sir, most of them are people from the vicinity of Gushan Fort, and some even come from Phoenix City!" A general who was responsible for guarding him said with a smile: "There are also people from the Tartars, but these
The presence of people has indeed made things easier for us. We drove them away several times, but the more they drove away, the more they were driven out, so the higher-ups just let them go, as long as they don't interfere with our work!"
"If a fight breaks out, these people will be killed and injured a lot!" Sun Yuanhua shook his head: "Don't they know that a fight will break out here at any time?"
"Of course I know. Who doesn't know about the people here!" The boss chuckled: "But doing business here for one day is enough to make more than they earn in three to five days on weekdays, let alone what we have here.
There are other benefits, so even if you know the risks, these people still can’t be driven away!”
"Is there someone from the Military Intelligence Department?" Sun Yuanhua whispered: "I don't even have to guess, there must be a spy here!"
"Haha, do you need to say this?" Mr. Ba smiled very understandingly: "But, there are also people sent by our Military Intelligence Department over the Tartars. When the two armies are fighting, that's how it happens anyway. Sir, don't
If you are entangled in such a trivial matter, just leave this kind of matter to the Military Intelligence Department to deal with it!"
"Too!"
Sun Yuanhua nodded, but his mind was thinking about the muzzles of the cannons pointed here. In this case, if something really happened, would those cannons continue to fire in this direction?
This is really a tricky thing. Forget it, this is not your duty. Whose duty it is, let the person have the headache. Just do your own negotiation!
