After Boss Zhu left, a secret door in the room suddenly opened, and a muscular man with dark skin, about 16 or more years old, but exuding a fierce aura walked out of it.
He walked to the window and looked around, and within a moment he saw Boss Zhu walking out happily.
Looking back, Yunli had sat down in his seat again, looking at the book in his hand leisurely.
The Art of War!
"You, a businessman, still read military books?"
The muscular man said in surprise.
"A shopping mall is like a battlefield, equally dangerous, but this is a place where you can't see the flames of war."
Yun Li replied calmly and turned another page of the military book in his hand.
The muscular man was stunned for a moment, but he nodded and accepted the statement.
But he asked again: "Why should you give him three times the silver? Although the prince is rich, he is not as good at spending money as you. In my opinion, he would be willing to give him only 1.5 times the money."
Yunli suddenly laughed: "I didn't say anything about making money for the prince, but you and the soldiers started to care about it. Funny, funny..."
After a pause, Yun Li then continued: "Have you ever heard of buying horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold?"
The strong man shook his head: "I only need to know the Chinese characters as a soldier. It's really difficult for me to know what allusions are true."
Yun Li smiled and then explained: "The prince once said that in ancient times there was a king who wanted to buy a thousand-mile horse with a thousand gold, but three years later no one was willing to sell the horse to him.
Later, someone sent a dead horse, but the king happily bought it for 500 jins. His courtiers thought it was not worth it, because a dead horse was not worth 500 jins.
But the king thought it was worth it, because this was not a dead horse, but countless "live horses."
Sure enough, soon after the news spread, the king got three thousand-mile horses donated by others. "
"So, you did this just to let him buy the dead horse in the bones as your daughter?"
The strong man thought thoughtfully.
Yun Li nodded: "Of course!
After this bamboo boss returns, he will definitely not be able to help but secretly tell his friends about the fact that he sold boats at Feiyun Trading Company for a high price.
And his living sign is equivalent to our reputation. After that, other people who are interested in selling ships will definitely make us their first target.
What we are short of now is time. The prince also said, don’t be afraid of spending money in the early stage.
It is true to complete the task assigned by the prince as soon as possible. "
The strong man nodded, and then asked: "Then how long do we have to wait?"
Yun Li put down the military book in his hand, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and smiled slightly: "General Huang, don't be anxious, let your fame fly for a while..."
It didn't take long.
Sure enough, just like what Yunli said, after Boss Zhu left, he was so excited that he couldn't help but tell his friends about the matter.
But he concealed the price of three cups he sold and only said twice.
After Feiyun Trading Company confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Boss Zhu's ship, Feiyun Trading Company gave him all the money as promised.
This made the eyes of some other maritime merchants who heard about this incident brighten up, and those who wanted to sell ships were all thoughtful.
It didn’t take long for Feiyun Trading Company to receive its first, second, and even third wave of ship-selling customers.
It’s not easy to do maritime business these days.
Many people have been maritime merchants all their lives. Now that they have made enough money, the Japanese pirates are becoming more and more serious at sea, so many small maritime merchants have thought of selling their ships and returning home.
It’s just that the price of their fleet is too high and ordinary people cannot accept it.
And when it comes to selling it to those big merchants, they look down on it.
They have their own shipyards and there is no need to pay high prices for ships from us.
The maintenance cost of ships is high, so they can only continue to go to sea and continue trading.
Now that Feiyun Trading Company is willing to buy it at a high price, there are many people who are interested.
I just have doubts about whether what Feiyun Trading Company said is true.
But when they knew that Boss Zhu had received the final payment, they were completely relieved.
So Feiyun Trading Company finally got the ship it wanted to buy.
Although they were all purchased at twice the price, Yunli purchased enough ships for the prince in a very short period of time.
There are seventy medium-sized ships, more than one hundred and fifty small ships, and even eight large ships.
Until Yunli hangs out and no longer buys ships.
Now the number of ships belonging to Feiyun Trading Company has reached 228!
A total of more than 1,132,000 silver was spent.
Compared with those big merchants, they are not much concessions, or even worse.
It should be noted that the annual maintenance fee for such a large number of ships is a large sum of money. Even if the large seas can afford this amount of money, they generally will not maintain so many ships. Generally, maintaining around a hundred ships is the norm.
Feiyun Trading Company couldn't hide the fact that it bought so many ships at once, and it was soon known to those large merchants.
Although they were angry that the small maritime merchants sold the ship to Feiyun Trading Company despite their prohibition, there was nothing they could do since the ship was already done.
They could only think of other ways to restrict Feiyun Trading Company.
The supply of goods is not good. As the top trading firm in the country, Feiyun Trading Company has much wider channels than them, so it can only play tricks on the sailors.
No matter how many ships you have, it’s useless if no one is driving them!
Various fleets began to pay high prices to recruit old sailors, but Qian Feiyun Trading Company was more afraid of them, and they also offered money.
Seeing the comparison, those maritime merchants suddenly became dishonest and came up with some extra tricks.
But in terms of external moves, how could they compare to Feiyun Trading Company, which had the secret support of secret guards.
Just as they were about to take action, the secret guards learned the news.
Immediately afterwards, a large businessman in the southeast was wiped out overnight.
The whole house is full of people, no chickens or dogs left behind.
And this family was the Chen family in northern Jiangsu who proposed using Japanese pirates to destroy the ships of Feiyun Trading Company.
Afterwards, the government could not find any clues about the matter and could only settle the matter hastily.
Now everyone knows that Feiyun Trading Company is not easy to mess with.
You can play business with me, and everyone is limited to the rules. But if you want to play outside the game with me, I will accompany you.
It depends on who can have the last laugh.
Immediately, all the maritime merchants saw that Feiyun Trading Company had become a success, so they had no choice but to let Feiyun Trading Company intervene in maritime trade.
However, they also thought that the risks at sea were so great. Feiyun Trading Company had just started and was not familiar with trade routes at all. It would take a long time to figure out the trade routes, and it would be impossible to compete with them for profits.
Maybe after a long time, they will withdraw from the sea on their own.
They thought well, but they didn't know that Feiyun Trading Company bought these ships not for trade, but for limited transportation.
After the ship was delivered, Feiyun Trading Company specially hired some old sailors.
Especially the one who came alone to teach General Huang's soldiers how to operate the ship.
Immediately, with experienced old sailors as the backbone, it took less than three months to start taking a boat to sea, heading towards Atria.
These old sailors may never have the chance to return to the Song Dynasty in their lifetime.
