If a person wants to succeed in something, he generally needs the right time, right location, and the right people. However, among these three, the right time, right place, and right people are not as good as the right time.
Zhu Chongba now has the right time, place, and people. Although the floods in the Yellow River this year are very unfortunate for the people in the affected areas, it is a business opportunity for businessmen.
The Yellow River flooded a lot of fertile farmland and many people's homes. Many people were displaced and a lot of food must have been submerged.
Zhu Chongba planned like this. He imported grain from the south of the Yangtze River and transported it to the north. He did not seek huge profits, but only small profits but quick turnover. In this way, he could not only make money, but also accumulate virtue.
Brothers fighting, father and son fighting in battle, Zhu Chongba thought, in addition to asking his second brother to help this time, he also had other brothers. In his family, from Chongyi to Chongqi, they were all trustworthy forces.
Zhu Chongba thinks about it this way. Except for his eldest brother, everyone else can be considered. He asked his eldest brother to continue selling salt. This arrangement was so that his eldest brother could help his parents at home.
If they go to sell food, they have to leave home for a long time, and it is impossible to leave no one at home.
Now this is just Zhu Chongba's idea. Whether they agree with it or not is not known yet.
Zhu Chongba actually had a backup plan in his heart, that is, if his brothers did not agree, he would use Tang He. Of course, under normal circumstances, Zhu Chongba would not do this.
Because Tang He played a big role when Zhu Chongba joined the rebel army. Zhu Chongba doesn't want to change too many established historical facts now.
Because there are a lot of uncertainties here now. Zhu Chongba also needs to think more comprehensively.
There is a famous butterfly effect in meteorology. It is said that a butterfly in one place accidentally flaps its wings, and then after a period of time, it causes a big storm in another place.
Although the rule of the Yuan Dynasty is now in turmoil, the centipede is still alive.
Now I can still survive for a long time. Today's peasant uprisings are only an isolated phenomenon and are rarely seen. Such uprisings can only be extinguished.
This is a historical fact that Zhu Chongba knew. The current period of Zhu Chongba's business has not been recorded in history.
Historically, many of Zhu Chongba's parents, brothers and sisters died of starvation and plague. Zhu Chongba doesn't want this to happen now, so he wants his brothers to do business elsewhere.
If there is a chance, take his parents out to live outside as soon as possible. As long as they stay away from here, there is the possibility of escaping the plague, and that is another kind of life.
"Second brother, do you think that if I ask my brothers to traffic grain with me, will they go?" Zhu Chongba asked his second brother.
His second brother thought for a while and said, "If these are the brothers in our family, there is nothing to say. After all, we are the same mother. But it is hard to say about the ones in the uncle's family. After all, we are far away."
Zhu Chongba thought for a while and felt that what his second brother said made sense, "Second brother, call all the brothers over. I have something to say to them."
His second brother quickly went out to call those brothers. Now Zhu Chongba and his second brother really obeyed Zhu Chongba. He believed in what Zhu Chongba said and gave in to Zhu Chongba. What he did was definitely uncompromising.
This is the so-called brotherhood of one heart, which is as powerful as metal.
Zhu Chongba took advantage of the moment when his second brother went to call someone to sort out his thoughts. Whatever you do, think about defeat before thinking about victory.
This is a no-nonsense matter, and nothing is easy. Especially when transporting food over long distances, there are many variables.
What if something unexpected happens on the way? Because the world has become unstable now, and doing business is actually very dangerous.
Although Dayuan is still very caring about businessmen now, it is best not to cause trouble. It would be bad if you try to remedy the situation after something has happened.
Zhu Chongba is really thinking about a lot of things now, and it can really be said that he is far-sighted.
The current Zhu Chongba is both smart and knowledgeable. His knowledge comes from people's understanding in the future. It is still somewhat the same as the specific situation of Dayuan. Zhu Chongba is not sure yet.
One thing is different now that Zhu Chongba has seen, that is, the life Zhu Chongba lived in his family was much worse than what was recorded in history.
If it weren't for Zhu Chongba's recent efforts, he would still be living like that now.
This period of time that has not been recorded in history has given Zhu Chongba a lot of room for free development.
At this time, his elder brother came back, "Chongba, I heard that you are going to traffic grain, how about I go with you?"
Zhu Chongba took a look at his eldest brother. This eldest brother was really good. He could endure hardship and was very smart. If he followed Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba would save a lot of worry.
But as soon as Zhu Chongba thought of their parents, he said, "Brother, you are actually very capable, such as selling salt. I just told you about it and provided some capital. You see that you are doing very well now." . It’s great to have a big brother like you, but our parents now need someone to take care of them at home.”
His eldest brother listened to what Zhu Chongba said, thought for a while, and then lowered his head.
After a pause, Zhu Chongba continued, "Trafficking food requires traveling long distances, and you will not be able to return home for a long time. In addition, it is very risky for us to do this kind of business. If you go too, once We failed. At least brother, you still have a way out. If you go too, in that case, there will really be no way out. Do you think so?"
"It's like this, Chongba, brother really admires you. You are really thoughtful about things. Chongba, brother has noticed that you have changed a lot recently, but he is very happy when you look like this. Such a heavy eight shows that you have grown up." His eldest brother said.
Listening to what his elder brother said, Zhu Chongba felt really warm in his heart.
His second brother is also back now, but his expression is very bad, and you can tell at a glance that something is not going well.
"Chongba, let's do it together with our brothers! Those brothers from the uncle's family don't really believe in you. They said wait and see. If we do well, they will participate again in the future." His second brother said dejectedly.
