Vol 2 Chapter 1008: vision

Wang Xiaoxi held a huge amount of 10,000 taels, all of which were replaced by tea.
Five thousand taels are from Yanci, and another five thousand taels are from Huang Qubing.
Other scattered silver was used for travel expenses. When he arrives in the northwest, he will consider buying some local freight to Xiliang.
Huang Qubing's willingness to invest money in Wang Xiaoxi's small business really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Sternly teased him, "Boss Huang can see this small business too?"
Huang Qubing said solemnly: "Boss Wang already has a stable and stable business, and he is willing to leave his home and business and take a trip to Xiliang in person. I am deeply impressed. Five thousand liang is my support for Boss Wang. Don’t dare to give more money. I’m also afraid that you will be in danger on the road alone."
Wang Xiaoxi's eyes flushed with excitement, "I'm a grassroots, how can I expect to get the full support of adults in my lifetime."
"Boss Wang is polite! I am not an adult."
"The adult once served as the family commander of the young mansion, and will always be a great person in the hearts of me and other people."
Wang Xiaoxi feels in the five inner circle, as if a fan has met an idol, the eyes of Huang Qubing are always starry.
Yan Ci is too sour, full of sour water.
The same is five thousand taels, the treatment is very different.
"It's a pity that I'm not a Jinshi, otherwise I will be an adult for a few days." He teased himself.
Wang Xuecheng laughed so much that tears came out, "Brother Yan is not trimming all day, I am afraid that he will not be an adult."
"Well, a certain person is also a talent."
"Before Brother Yan said this, it's better to go and clean it up first, and it will be convincing."
...
Wang Xiaoxi bought tea and went to Sanhe Express to register.
Type, quantity, value, all must be filled in truthfully.
After completing the filling, Sanhe Express gave him a prepaid tax form.
"You can entrust us to help you pay the tax, or you can wait until the border, you take this tax bill to the customs to pay the tax."
Only then did Wang Xiaoxi know that he had to pay a tax if he wanted to leave the customs for Xiliang.
However, the money has been used to purchase goods, and the remaining silver is used for travel expenses, and there is no tax payment at all.
In desperation, he had no choice but to brazenly ask for a serious remark.
"I have never cleared customs. I don't know if I have to pay a tariff to do business. I am really confused!"
Resolutely comforted him, "It doesn't matter, I will settle the tax."
Yanci chose to let Sanhe Express pay the tax.
When paying taxes, he murmured, "Whoever came up with a solution is really powerful. Any caravan that entrusts Sanhe Express to goods, no one should try to evade tax."
The staff of Sanhe Express smiled, "Our express company has always been in close contact with the Ministry of Households."
Wang Xiaoxi asked, "How do you know that the quantity and value of the goods reported by the caravan are true? If there are two hundred thousand taels, only one hundred thousand taels are registered, what do you do?"
The staff of Sanhe Express smiled, "Don’t worry, no one dares to do this. All goods going to Xiliang must be loaded into our special carriage by Sanhe Express. Only our special carriage can get to Xiliang. Before loading the truck, the quantity, variety, and approximate value of the goods are clear at a glance."
"Businessmen can also form a caravan by themselves, and ask someone to them out to Xiliang. Maybe they can save some money." Wang Xiaoxi said again.
The staff of Sanhe Express smiled upon hearing this.
"Boss Wang, going to Xiliang is not going to the northwest. Without our Sanhe Express, you won't be able to get to Xiliang regardless of any guards."
"Why is this?"
"Let me tell you this, the road from the capital to the northwest, the mountain bandit road tyrants have been extinct, basically safe. The merchants on this road can be escorted by another escort. But after the customs, that is another situation. Bei Rong is defeated. In the past, the small tribes on the grassland that did not dare to take the initiative all came out, incarnate as ringing horse robbers, specializing in robbing caravans going to and from Xiliang. They come and go like the wind, are familiar with the terrain, and there are not many people. Not afraid of death. Without our Sanhe express guards, one would count as one, and ten would count as ten. No caravan could escape the robbery of these small tribes."
"Don't the guards of Sanhe Express be afraid of these robbers?"
"Do you know why Sanhe Express collects fees based on the value of the goods sold?"
Wang Xiaoxi shook his head honestly, where did he know.
He only knew that the fees charged by Sanhe Express were terribly expensive.
"The cost of the extraction is not only for the escorts, but also for the fortresses along the way. Ask the army to us through the most dangerous sections of the road. This money is expensive, but as long as it can keep people and goods, it is worth it. Look at the whole world. , Only our Sanhe Express can open up the military relationship. We can stay in the fortress on the grassland at night. Please be an caravan. The other carts and horses on the grassland are all vegetables. If they are killed by the bandits, they will be killed. Up."
"This is why the goods must be loaded uniformly with Sanhe Express special carriages. Our special carriages still run in the grasslands and deserts, without delay. The merchants' own carriages count as much as they are, and they all stop when they reach the grasslands and deserts. "
"Waiting time is a small matter. I'm afraid that you can rest in the desert at night and be taken advantage of by the ringtone robbers. Even if you avoid the ringtone robbers, you have to guard against the wolves. Prairie wolves, desert wolves, all the way to the west, all the way to risk. III He Express is the only cart and horse shop that has the strength to ensure the safety of people and goods."
"Furthermore, our Sanhe Express promises that even if something goes wrong on the road, the payment and the goods will be brought back to you as usual. Similarly, if the goods are gone, we will not charge any fees and we will take you to Xiliang for free. "
The staff of Sanhe Express talked about it, and Wang Xiaoxi's heart jumped.
"This trip to Xiliang is dangerous!"
Yan Ci asked him, "Are you afraid? It's too late to regret now, the big deal is to dispose of the goods."
Wang Xiaoxi frowned, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said firmly: "We have taken 50 steps in a hundred steps. There is a Sanhe express guard. There is nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Yan, you can rest assured that I will arrive with the goods. Xiliang will definitely come back safely."
"I believe you."
Sanhe Express notified Wang Xiaoxi to leave in five days and told him to prepare.
...
At the same time, Yuhua Lane.
Several northern businessmen, headed by Wu Dabiao, gathered together with solemn expressions.
Back then, they leapt up with the signboard of "Royal Dedication". Contended with Jiangnan magnates.
Those years were truly beautiful.
However, the strength of Jiangnan tycoons is too huge. Relying on many years of sea trade, combined with the prosperity of Jiangnan, the business is easy to do, and it has accumulated terrible wealth.
Merchants from Jiangnan joined together to form the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, with one shot worth millions of taels, or even tens of millions of taels.
So much money can be smashed to death.
The northern businessmen couldn't resist it and had to give up part of the capital market.
At present, the market in the capital is led by the four seas and small houses, and the local luxury merchants in the capital have the advantage, followed by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
Even the Southwest and Lingnan Chambers of Commerce have the momentum to catch up
The Northern Chamber of Commerce is under great pressure and life is difficult.
The market in the capital is too big and the wealth is too amazing.
The key is that the population of the capital is still rising year by year.
The capital alone and Xinmin County are estimated to have exceeded 3 million people.
There is also a vast Gyeonggi township market outside, which has been developed by the whole world. It seems that they are small businesses, gathering less and making more, it is also a scary market.
Everyone wants to get a share of the sacred place of wealth in Beijing.
As the saying goes, if you do not advance, you will retreat.
Everyone can't keep going.
"This trip to Xiliang must go. The "Big Zhou Life Show" called on everyone to go to Xiliang to pan for gold, which is equivalent to calling everyone to Xiliang and go to the Western Regions to explore the market. We can have today and be able to stand firm in Beijing On the heels, we competed with the local luxury merchants in the capital and the Jiangnan luxury merchants, thanks to the support of the Queen Empress in the early years."
"However, in recent years, everyone has the idea of ​​eating their own money and guarding their own three-acre land. No one is going to develop new markets. So that our advantages have gradually been eroded by the strong merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. We contacted, have you counted this time?"
"The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce next door is very prosperous. As far as I know, they have arranged at least three caravans to go to Xiliang, and even plan to walk deep in the Western Regions. Because of this, the father-in-law in the palace himself I came forward and met with the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce Beijing Branch."
"The Empress Empress needs someone to run the Western Regions market for her and completely open the door to the Western Regions. Our Northern Chamber of Commerce still wants to gain a foothold in the capital, and we also want to count on the Empress Empress to give us sweet food, so we must take a trip to the Western Regions."
"I have already decided. I am going to purchase 500,000 to 1 million taels of goods, and let my boss personally lead the team to the Western Regions."
Wu Dabiao patted the table and said loudly.
He glanced at everyone, "What do you think, let me talk about it. If you are willing, if you have money to contribute, you will naturally have your share of benefits in the future. If you are not happy, you can go downstairs now. In the future. Don’t be sour when it’s not your turn."
Everyone looked at each other.
"It is of course feasible to buy goods and take a trip to the Western Regions. After all, the Western Regions are profitable. The business is just to make money. But how do the goods ship? Now Sanhe Express almost monopolizes the market, but Sanhe Express charges according to Xiliang. The bid is 10%. If we buy one million taels of goods, the cost to Sanhe Express alone will probably cost hundreds of thousands taels, which is too expensive."
"Furthermore, the goods go to Sanhe Express, and the tariff is a penny. Because all goods must be loaded with Sanhe Express's special carriage, the goods, variety, quantity, and value are clear at a glance."
"Tariff plus the cost of Sanhe Express is basically equivalent to the value of the goods. That is to say, one million taels of goods will have to pay an additional cost of one million taels. If the goods are delivered to Xiliang, it will be more than five times It’s not necessary to do this business."
