Chapter 121 The new business of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce
March is the best time of the year. Xia Qianfeng, a businessman who came to Shuangyu Port again from Nanjing, stood at the bow of the boat. When he saw the North Port of Shuangyu Port in front of him, he couldn't help but bring his face on his face.
A little smile.
Last time, Xia Qianfeng transported a batch of silk from Nanjing. He wanted to sell the silk and buy a batch of peppers back, but because something happened to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, the peppers at the port were priceless. He searched for several days but couldn't find them.
The seller of pepper. But he had already collected a deposit before, and he almost broke his sign. Fortunately, Beigang Teahouse launched a reform and posted a shipping list, which allowed him to find a batch of peppers to preserve his reputation.
.
Thinking of what happened last year, Xia Qianfeng, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but sigh. It was his last time last year, but he only made some money on silk. As for the pepper that was acquired at a high price, it not only failed to make money, but instead
He also lost a little, and he felt a little unhappy when he was during the Chinese New Year, so after the Chinese New Year, he immediately prepared a batch of freight to Shuangyu Port, and finally earned back the money he lost last year.
With the successful experience of the last time, Xia Qianfeng once again brought two big ships, and the cabin was full of silk purchased, worth more than 5,000 taels of silver. This is already most of his net worth. If this is the case
If the transaction goes well, he can make at least a net profit of more than 1,000 taels. Then he will buy a batch of goods from Nanyang or Japan and transport them back. Once the transaction is changed, the profit will be of more than 1,000 taels.
Thinking of how he could earn more than 2,000 taels of silver this time, Xia Qianfeng couldn't help but forget the unhappiness last year. He even half-closed his eyes and hummed a small song on the bow of the boat.
Just as Xia Qianfeng was humming a small song, his two boats finally entered the Beigang District. And this time he also specially stopped at the port area controlled by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. This place is closer to the Beigang Teahouse. He was on the way to
I had already thought that this batch of silk would also be listed for sale in the teahouse. This will not only save trouble, but also sell it quickly.
Two cargo ships were docking slowly at the dock, and Xia Qianfeng woke up from his dream of making money. At this time, the people on the dock had boarded the ship to check the goods on the ship, and then issued a tax bill according to the value of the goods.
The account was prepared and the tax on the two boats was soon settled.
Xia Qianfeng naturally doesn't have to worry about small things like paying taxes. He told the guy he brought to take care of the goods, and then walked to Beigang Teahouse with the tax bill he had just received. If the goods wanted to be hung in Beigang Teahouse, he had to let the teahouse have
People see your goods with their own eyes, mainly to prevent the owner from cheating.
However, if a ship parked at the port of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, you only need to take the tax form to the teahouse. As long as you pay the money, you can quickly hang the cargo information, and you don’t have to wait for the teahouse people to check the goods. But if it is
If you park in other ports controlled by the Chamber of Commerce in Beigang, you can only wait for the people in the teahouse to check the goods slowly. It is precisely this reason. Therefore, Xia Qianfeng regards the port of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce as his first choice.
Xia Qianfeng took the tax bill to the dock and then looked around. It turned out that compared to the last time he arrived, the port area of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce had some changes, such as more poles for lifting goods on the dock.
As soon as I got up, the shipyard next to the west seemed to have expanded a lot. Although I stood at the dock and saw clearly the situation in the shipyard, I just listened to the noise of the work there and knew that the factory must have recruited a lot of people.
"The young owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is indeed not an ordinary person. In less than half a year, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which had been divided, came alive again. It is different every time I come to the port. It seems that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is about to rise again!" Xia
Qian Feng sighed a few words at the change in the port, and at the same time he thought of the sons at home, who were all teenagers. His sons at home would not have anything else except eating, drinking and having fun. He was with the young owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
One comparison can be pissed off.
Thinking of the incompetent sons at home, Xia Qianfeng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, but his feet were not slow at all, and he soon arrived at the location of Beigang Teahouse. The current Beigang Teahouse has changed a lot, if it was after the Chinese New Year
The businessman who came here for the first time probably couldn't recognize that the original Beigang Teahouse was in front of him.
I saw that although the Beigang Teahouse was towering in its original location, the surrounding empty square had disappeared because the entire square had been built on a wall, and many buildings were added to the wall, which were the same as the original Beigang Teahouse.
It was integrated together and was named "Beigang Trading Center" by the owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. However, this strange name obviously does not meet the taste of most people, so people still call it Beigang Teahouse in custom.
After the summer money and prosperity, he had already been here once. Although the entire trading center had not been fully built, it had a little foundation. Therefore, he did not seem too surprised to see the Beigang Teahouse, which has changed a lot in front of him.
Xia Qianfeng walked to the gate of the trading center, and then showed the tax bill in his hand to the guard in front of the door, and the two guards immediately let it go. There are two ways to enter the trading center, the first is to show the port.
Of course, the tax bill must be issued by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and the tax bills of other chambers of commerce are not possible at all. The second method is to pay money. You can buy a passable order for one tael of silver. This order can make people enter and exit at will within ten days.
.
After entering the gate of the trading center, a straight avenue appeared in front of Xia Qianfeng. With this avenue as the boundary, the entire garden is distributed in the east and west parts. The east is called the Qiujia District, which has a purchasing hall in the Qiujia District.
If a merchant needs something and cannot find the seller for the time being, he can go to the purchase hall to list and purchase. On the west side is the shipping area, and there is also a shipping hall.
Xia Qianfeng is here to sell goods this time, so he naturally has to go to the shipping area. He quickly came to the shipping hall. The entire hall was built very distinctive, and the hall was divided into several areas according to the type of goods sold.
, There are several signs in each area with various cargo information posted on it.
Xia Qianfeng turned right into the hall, came to the counter in the center of the hall, handed over his tax bill to the shopkeeper inside, and after paying another sum of money, the other party picked up a pen and wrote the information about his silk on it.
Then let the guy post it to the silk trading area.
After watching his silk information posted, Xia Qianfeng did not leave immediately, but planned to walk around the shipping hall a few times, and probably looked at what goods were going to be sold. After all, after he sold the silk,
I must also transport a batch of goods back. Now I can have a clear idea of it if I look at it.
But just as Xia Qianfeng turned around and wanted to leave the counter, the old shopkeeper inside suddenly called him, took out a piece of paper full of writing and delivered it to him and said, "Shopkeeper Xia, our chamber of commerce has been recently
A new business can double the income of your silk. If you are interested, you can come to me at any time."
Xia Qianfeng's eyes lit up when he heard what the other party said to make his profits multiply, but then he looked at the other party with some suspicion and asked in disbelief: "Shopkeeper, you are not.
Let me be happy, what new business can double my silk income?"
The shopkeeper obviously had long been accustomed to Xia Qianfeng's questions. He smiled and did not explain. He just stuffed the paper in his hand into Xia Qianfeng's hand and said, "This can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences,
But this piece of paper is clearly written, you can find a place to take a look, I believe you will be interested!"
Xia Qianfeng was confused, and walked to the side with the paper, found a seat, sat down and took a look. As a result, he just looked at the beginning, immediately attracted his whole mind to the paper, and then began to be serious.
After reading the contents on the paper several times, my face couldn't help but look intertwined with excitement and hesitation.
It turned out that the paper in his hand was indeed introducing a new business of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. The content of this business was very ordinary. According to the introduction above, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was willing to provide ships and manpower to transport the cargo owner's goods overseas for transactions.
When the profit is obtained, the profit is divided by the owner and the chamber of commerce, and the proportion of the profit varies according to the type of goods.
This list is introduced in detail, especially at the bottom, and there are also some common products that divide into proportions, such as silk with summer coins. If it is handed over to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce for overseas transactions, then he can get all of them at that time
40% of the profit. Although the Chamber of Commerce still took the big head, it also took great risks to provide ships and manpower, so it is not an exaggeration to get the big head.
In addition, overseas trade is at least ten times the profit, and 40% of the profit is converted into four times the value of the goods. In other words, if the goods of more than 5,000 taels can be successfully traded, the amount of silver will be as high as two at that time.
Ten thousand taels, a full ten times higher than his expected silver return of 2,000 taels. Just thinking about this ratio made Xia Qianfeng feel that he was surging with blood. He wanted to hand over the goods in his hand to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce immediately.
Go overseas to trade.
However, Xia Qianfeng has been doing business for many years and knows that there is no good thing about pies falling from the sky in this world, so he quickly calmed down and considered the new business launched by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce again. Sure enough, he found out that this new business
Money is not that easy to make.
If you want to do this business with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Xia Qianfeng first has to entrust the goods to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce for transportation. This requires him to absolutely trust the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and will not worry that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will swallow his goods. Xia Qianfeng is doing this.
It can be done. After all, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is one of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, and it is impossible to lose its reputation because of its own little goods. In addition, before the goods are sold, Xia Qianfeng will not get a penny, and it will be tens of thousands of yuan.
If a cargo encounters storms and waves at sea, he will lose all his money.
