North Jiangsu, third floor of Feiyun Restaurant.
The fat man, who looked rich but was carefully avoiding people all the way, carefully led the waiter to the third floor and entered the innermost room on the third floor where the shopkeeper's office was hung.
"Hahahaha, isn't this Boss Zhu?
Why do you have time to come to our place today? What a distinguished guest! Distinguished guest! "
When Yunli saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
When the fat employee who was called Boss Ding heard this, his face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, Shopkeeper Yun, please stop saying this, it's really embarrassing for me.
I was obviously against you along with those people when we were at Chuitian Tower two days ago, but today I have to ask for help. I am really ashamed! "
Yunli said with a sincere smile on his face: "Hahaha, what's the point? We are all in business. What kind of shame does it take to do business? Profit comes first. Since Boss Zhu came to Yun, he naturally felt that I, Feiyun Trading Company, can offer you a price that satisfies you, so you will come here. What is there to be ashamed of? Who is not pursuing maximizing profits when doing business?"
Yun Li's words made Boss Zhu relax a little. There was no one else in the room. He went straight to the point and said, "I'll be honest with you, Shopkeeper Yun. Ding came here today just to do business with Feiyun Trading Company. You don't want to buy anything." Boat?
It just so happens that although I don’t have any big boats, I do have quite a few medium-sized boats and small boats.
Now I am short of money, so the price given by Feiyun Trading Company is fair, so I sold it to you.
But first let’s make sure that Mr. Zhu is here without telling all colleagues. You can buy Mr. Zhu’s boat, but shopkeeper Yun must not betray Mr. Zhu! "
Yun Li touched his chin when he heard this, and then asked: "I would like to ask, Boss Zhu remembers that your Ding family has five or six large ships, why do you only sell these medium and small ships? Since you want to sell ships You definitely don’t want to continue running overseas, why not sell it to me Feiyun Trading Company together?
Could it be because of money issues?
Boss Zhu, you can rest assured that our Feiyun Trading Company is strong and we can still get this little money! "
When Boss Zhu heard this, he sighed and smiled bitterly: "Shopkeeper Yun is joking. Of course I know the strength of Feiyun Commercial Bank. I have never doubted whether your commercial bank can come up with this money, but it is really difficult for a clever woman." There is no cooking without rice.
A few days ago, when a merchant ship that went to sea with me came back, I learned that six of my family's ships encountered Japanese pirates at sea. One of them was destroyed, and the other five were all robbed!
To make matters worse, my only son went to sea with this ship, and all of them were detained by the Japanese pirates.
Yesterday the Japanese pirates sent people to ask for ransom, but most of my family's working capital was used to buy the goods of the six ships. Now that the goods are gone, where can I get the money to pay the ransom? That's why I thought of coming to your place to buy the remaining goods. The boat was sold to redeem the eldest son. This is the only child of our Lao Zhu family!
No matter what happens, we can't let anything happen to him, otherwise I won't be able to face my ancestors even if I'm under the Nine Springs! "
Having said this, Boss Zhu couldn't control his tears and was extremely sad.
Yunli hurriedly brought him to his seat, sat down and comforted him: "Boss Zhu, don't be anxious. Since Boss Zhu has found Feiyun Trading Company, and we happen to need a ship, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price, Boss Zhu, so that You can redeem your only son.
Well, Boss Zhu, please tell me how big the remaining merchant ships are in your hands, and I will give you an estimate first. "
Speaking of merchant ships, Boss Zhu immediately wiped away his tears and then recited his words in a stream:
"Currently, our Zhu family fleet has ten medium-sized sea-going ships, each of which has more than 3,500 pieces of fuel and can carry more than 400 people.
There are also thirty small ships, each of which costs more than 1,500 yuan and can carry more than 200 people. "
Yun Li nodded after listening: "In other words, Boss Zhu still has forty ships, large and small, in his hands. Does Boss Zhu want to sell them all?"
Boss Zhu immediately nodded: "After this incident, I am tired of the maritime business. After all, the risks are too great. It is better to sell all the ships. After receiving my only son, I will take him back to my hometown with him, buy some fields, and live in peace and stability." Being a landlord is, at least, stable.
I have passed the age of adventure and can no longer withstand the storm. "
After saying that, Boss Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
Since the Zhu family migrated from Gaodong and came to this northern Jiangsu area to develop, they started out with a small boat after depleting their family fortune. It has now taken three generations of hard work to reach its current scale.
Now he has to sell everything by himself. To be honest, he feels uncomfortable.
But he really couldn't bear the risk of going to sea anymore. This time, his only son was detained, and he could still redeem it. What if he ran into a shipwreck next time and was lost?
This is the only son of the Lao Zhu family, and he cannot let his child take this risk.
It would be better to sell the property as early as possible, go home and be a rural landlord, and live a very comfortable life with the Zhu family's financial resources.
The son has no chance. Maybe when the grandson is born, if he has a talent for reading and lets him take the imperial examination, the Zhu family might even be able to produce a top scholar and transform from a merchant to an official family in one fell swoop. Only then will the family truly shine. Leah!
Seeing that he was sure, Yunli began to make a quick estimate.
After a while, Yunli gave his quotation.
"Boss Zhu, the current price of sea-going ships on the market is one thousand five hundred taels of silver for small ships, three thousand five hundred taels of silver for medium-sized ships, and seven thousand taels of silver for large ships.
In this way, you are the first to come to our Feiyun Trading Company to sell a boat. If this happens again, I, Yunli, will be the master and buy it for you at three times the price.
In other words, if the market price of a small boat is 1,500 taels, our Feiyun Trading Company will charge 4,500 taels. For China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, we will charge 3,500 taels at a price of 10,500 taels.
But this price is only for you. Don't go out and talk nonsense. At most, you can say that we will buy it at 1.5 times the price. "
When Boss Zhu heard the price offered by Yunli, he almost jumped up with excitement.
What a concept!
A medium-sized sea-going ship can be sold for 10,000 taels of silver, and a small one can be sold for 4,500 taels.
His Zhu family now has ten medium-sized sea-going ships and thirty small-sized sea-going ships. He can sell the medium-sized sea-going ships alone for 105,000 taels of silver, plus the 135,000 taels for the small boats, the total is Two hundred and forty thousand taels of silver!
The cost of building this ship is less than 70% of the market price!
Make a lot of money!
The Zhu family is just a small maritime businessman. Although the goods once amounted to more than one million taels, that was goods. Now that the big ship is gone, the goods inside are gone, so naturally there are no more than one million taels.
I was really happy to be able to get more than 200,000 taels back from selling the boat.
Immediately, Boss Zhu was afraid that Yun Li would return, so he immediately agreed: "Sell it! Shopkeeper Yun! I'll sell it!
Whenever we trade, I can do it at any time! "
Yun Li smiled slightly and waved his hand. A waiter immediately brought over a stack of banknotes on a tray.
Yunli picked up one of the 50,000 taels of silver notes and slapped it into Boss Zhu's hand and said, "This is the 50,000 taels of silver note from Datong Bank. It can be redeemed on sight.
The meal is regarded as a deposit from my Feiyun Trading Company. After my Feiyun Trading Company confirms that there is no problem with the number of materials for Boss Zhu’s merchant ship and the delivery is completed, the remaining balance of 190,000 taels will be given immediately!
I don’t know, but Boss Zhu is still satisfied? "
"Satisfied! Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!"
Boss Zhu held the 50,000 taels of silver notes in his hand and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyesight.
