? "A brand-new big wing costs 5,000 taels. If it is an old ship, the discount is 2,000 to 3,000 taels!"

"This ship is not so good, but sailors and pilots are a big problem!"

Perhaps the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce can find a few more experienced sailors, but the experienced navigators look at the chambers of commerce just like the baby, so it is impossible to sell them.

Duan Yu flipped through the ledger, a little helpless: "Sure enough, I still have to participate in shares!"

Nine days have passed since the small chaos, and Qin Feiyu is currently taking a group of people out to sea every day under the leadership of a seasoned fisherman to learn how to drive a boat.

And Duan Yu is also thinking about his own East China Sea plan.

The so-called ‘power’ is nothing more than people and money.

He still has a lot of money, but it's a little troublesome to recruit people.

Although there are many sea-driers who are not afraid of death, it is not a problem to recruit a boat with a settlement fee of twelve, but who is the real experienced veteran who dares to board this new boat?

Aren't you afraid to feed the sharks together shortly after going to sea?

"A group of reliable sailors must be organized as soon as possible...I am like this, and it is even more difficult for those who want to start from scratch!"

Duan Yu rubbed his eyebrows, and then he saw a maid coming with a greeting card to report: "The Gongsun Chamber of Commerce sent someone to send a gift list and invite the son to get together!"

"Is it finally here?"

Duan Yu smiled slightly and reached out to take it.

Now that Dongchen is here, he naturally has to deal with the other party. It might be good to start with the Gongsun clan. Then he said, "Tell Xiao Jingfeng, I will go!"

When I walked out of the Chamber of Commerce, there was a carriage waiting outside. Duan Yu was not welcome and went straight up.

The carriage moved forward, about half an hour later, and stopped in front of a garden.

"Changchun Garden?"

Duan Yu looked at the plaque: "The Gongsun family is really strong, and there is such a big garden in this port."

At the door, a group of people got news and came out to greet him. The leader was Gongsun Xiaobai.

He was dressed in brocade clothes, beautiful jade hanging on his waist, and chic and suave. At this time, he saw a young man getting out of the carriage, wearing only a plain white robe, a black scabbard hanging on his waist, and a bamboo crown on his head. With a stunned heart, he stepped forward to see the ceremony: "Brother Duan!"

"Brother Gongsun!" Duan Yu smiled. He is successful in cultivation and will not invade the cold and heat naturally, but this Gongsun Xiaobai is obviously just an ordinary person, but his clothes are thin, and his clothes are obviously mysterious.

"The name of Brother Jiuyang Duan, when I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation. Please enter the garden for a banquet!"

Gongsun Xiaobai's face was full of smiles, and he invited Duan Yu into the hospital.

At this time, a plum blossom was blooming in the garden, which was elegant and pleasant. Several maids who smiled and bowed forward and served plum cake and fragrant tea.

Gongsun Xiaobai took the lead, followed by three masters, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San, and Zhou Da's butler.

At this time, these few were intently staring at Duan Yu, both admired and somewhat wary.

After all, according to the rumors, this is a peerless murderer who drew his sword at each other. The son's safety is very important and cannot be slackened.

"These are..."

Duan Yu glanced at Zhou Daguan, and asked with a smile.

"These three are named Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San. They are all my servants. They had a small misunderstanding in the Piaoxiangyuan before and started with Ling brother. Please forgive me!"

Gongsun Xiaobai raised his glass: "I punished three glasses!"

"Flying fish and a group of brothers are both crude, and there are mistakes first. The son is generous. I am very grateful if you don't hold them accountable."

Duan Yu shook his head.

"Okay, I just laughed at the previous incident. The so-called "I don't know each other", if I didn't have them, how could I get to know Duan brother this kind of talent? From this aspect, they have done nothing, haha... …"

Gongsun Xiaobai laughed loudly. I have to say that he has a good deal of dealing with people and things. He is obviously from family and school. The disciples in the family had to learn this aspect.

After a while, the banquet came. Although there were not many dishes, they were extremely delicious and elegant. Duan Yu also liked it very much and took a few more chopsticks.

After all, this Linyun Port is a gathering of rare goods from all over the world, from bear paws, perch, to Izumo specialties, everything is there. On a small table, there is even a gathering of delicacies from all over the world, which made Duan Yuwang secretly surprised.

Such enjoyment is no less than a prince.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gongsun Xiaobai seemed to inadvertently asked: "Brother Duan came to Linyungang in the East China Sea, but is he interested in sea trade?"

"Naturally!" There is nothing to conceal, Duan Yu directly admitted: "Seeing the chaos in the world, I have no ambitions, I just want to be a rich man..."

"Rich man?"

Gongsun Xiaobai's cheeks twitched, and he said that you, the true soul of the murderous soul, are discouraged, and this is the greatest joke in the world.

Especially when he is only eighteen years old, he has such a scheming method, which is terrifying!

But at this time I still wanted to win over the other party, and couldn't help asking: "If you talk about sea trade, my Gongsun Chamber of Commerce has a fleet going to sea every year, if Brother Duan doesn't dislike it, you can mix it up."

"Oh? I don't know where to go? How much is one share?"

"Zhou is in charge!"

Gongsun Xiaobai glanced at the person next to him, and Zhou Da’s butler immediately stood up with a smile on his face: "My caravan does not go to the south, but only takes the route of the country of clouds. It starts in early spring, and the one-way trip is about 600, which is two months. time!"

Duan Yujashou, knowing that it was difficult to measure sea lanes in ancient times, seafarers divided the day and night into ten shifts to calculate the distance: "In this case, maybe you can come back in autumn?"

"Exactly!"

Manager Zhou's eyes brightened: "Going in two months, returning in two months, there are still two or three months to do business along the way. If you are lucky this time, it will not be less profitable than running the Southern Commercial Road."

"As for this stock? I have ten big wings, half of which are from Brother Duan. How about three thousand taels?" Gongsun Xiaobai smiled.

"This is not a shareholding, but let me join in!" Duan Yu pondered.

Speaking of it, even the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to form such a large caravan, it must be mixed with many other chambers of commerce and goods.

And following such an experienced team of swordsman traders, naturally there are many benefits.

"Naturally... because Brother Duan chooses the goods by himself, so he can send someone to supervise the sales all the way, how about?" Young Master Xiaobai said.

He clearly saw through Duan Yu's plan, and even took the initiative to send the opportunity to Duan Yu.

"So cheap for me?" Duan Yu glanced at Gongsun Xiaobai, meaning it was unclear.

"Brother Duan had such a heroic spirit at the age of eighteen, and his name shook the country. The younger brother has always admired him, not to mention...Three thousand taels, which is not a lot! I wonder if Brother Duan will pick him up?" Gongsun Xiaobai asked. .

"Haha...Why don't I answer?"

Duan Yu laughed and agreed: "I also want to set off on the boat myself, and look forward to the view of the sea!"

"It's so good! To be honest, the younger brother is also ready to go with the boat, just in time to ask Brother Duan for help day and night!" Gongsun Xiaobai bowed solemnly.

For the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce, the ten big wings and the cargo on it are more than half of their wealth.

If it is overturned once, the entire chamber of commerce will be ruined.

At that point, Gongsun Xiaobai didn't have any fruit to eat, and he could not have to be taken back by the Patriarch for the crime!

Besides, even if you send your confidant, how can you trust it completely? Things at sea are changing rapidly, and the treasures of the goods are touching. You still have to control yourself to be at ease.

This Gongsun Xiaobai was not long after he took charge of the Chamber of Commerce and wanted to make some achievements.

And paying a certain price and hiring a real soul to sit down will obviously increase a lot of insurance.

So one party deliberately wins over, and one party deliberately gets on the ship.

At the moment, I was persuaded to drink again and again, and the host and the host enjoyed themselves and returned home drunk.

...

After Duan Yu returned to the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce, he called Xiao Jingfeng, Qin Feiyu and others over and talked about today's agreement.

"Three thousand two to buy half the tonnage of the ship? Self-prepared and self-sold goods? This business is done!"

The first speaker was Bai Feng. He bowed to Duan Yu: "As for the goods, I have already purchased twenty thousand taels of silver coins and copper nuggets for the son. In addition, Izumo is the country of samurai and I like it. The goods include silk, raw silk, ironware, etc., which can be prepared in large quantities."

"Yang Cai, Yang Weiping, leave these to you two, remember to learn more about bookkeeping and trading!"

Duan Yu was assigned at will.

"Yes, I must do this for the helper!"

Yang Cai and Yang Weiping all owe themselves.

Although the two of them were relatively weak and were a little seasick at first, they gradually got used to them. Although they could not be used as sailors, they still had no problems with them.

"The country of Izumo?" Qin Feiyu came to be interested: "I don't know what the scenery is like?"

"The country of Izumo..." Manager Bai Feng recalled: "It is said that that big island has two states. It is very large. The population is multiplied, it is very prosperous, and the martial arts are still flourishing. Chaos, the princes from all over the place are everywhere, maybe there will be continuous military disasters..."

"In the land of two states, there are still vassals all around?" Qin Feiyu and others looked at each other~www.wuxiaspot.com~Haha... You see, a city and a county on the mainland can be called vassals, and there are many lords that can be divided between the two states. ..." Bai Fengdale: "However, since ancient times, the people of this island have had a tradition of trespassing in layers. Izumo-kun’s authority has never been very good, but the martial arts occasionally have strong men who control the court and are known as the'regent'. "

"Because of the many wars and chaos in this country, the raw silk and iron tools are all necessary for making armor, so they can be sold..." Bai Feng paused, lowering his voice: "If you can smuggle weapons in the past, it will be even more profitable!"

"ordnance?"

Xiao Jingfeng shook his head: "All countries prohibit armoured bows and crossbows. This kind of trade is not something we can get involved in."

"It's also... But maybe the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce secretly has such a deal."

Duan Yu thought about the Izumo country and the goods that Gongsun Xiaobai would personally embark on the ship, so he couldn't help thinking and authentic.

"With the power of the Gongsun family, secretly make some weapons..." Bai Feng smacked his lips, a little envious: "It should be fine, right?"
