If someone else said this to Tan Zhen, Tan Zhen would spit on Xingzi and fly over to him, then walk away with a flick of his sleeves.

But the problem is that the person in front of him is his great savior and lucky star Gao Zhang.

Tan Zhen restrained himself, took the "Jiangnan Business News" from Gao Zhang's hand and looked at it carefully.

Only then did I realize that this "Jiangnan Business News" was completely different from the tabloids I had seen before.

In the content, I did not see the domestic and international current affairs that are often fabricated in tabloids to sensationalize and attract attention.

They are all full of useful information, and the content above describes the price fluctuations in the Jiangnan region in recent months.

Whether it’s food or oil and salt, of course, there are also what supporting policies the Suzhou government has for industry and commerce in the Suzhou area today.

There is also Tokyo Bianliang, which type of goods are in great demand nowadays.

And the Suzhou area is currently undergoing construction of various factories, which requires a large number of migrant workers.

Furthermore, the Suzhou government announced that the official road from Suzhou, through Xiuzhou, to Hangzhou is currently being renovated.

Now, the section from Suzhou to Wujiang, which was constructed in sections, has been completed, etc...

Furthermore, Tan Zhen saw the above advertisement about some famous Suzhou specialties.

But what stood out to Tan Tan the most was the content of the novel "The Romance of the Gods" being serialized on it.

The above bizarre story about the foolish and unprincipled Shang King Zhou is really interesting.

Looking at this novel and unique "Jiangnan Business Daily", it was not until Gao Zhang, the champion, coughed forcefully on purpose that Tan Zhen reluctantly woke up from the story.

"Well, I didn't lie to Tan about promoting you, did I? This "Jiangnan Business Daily" has now been published in Suzhou for two issues.

The sales volume is quite impressive, and now even Xiuzhou, Changzhou and other prefectures and counties have begun to sell it. "

If the news about the Hangzhou International Commodity Expo is published on it, it will be distributed through the distribution channel of "Jiangnan Business News".

Entering the areas of other shipping companies and attracting those businessmen is not the official behavior of the Hangzhou Shipping Department.

At least it's not easy for other shipping companies to stop him. Of course, seizing "Jiangnan Commercial Daily" is another problem.

How could Gao Zhang, an envoy of the Xuanfu system, allow officials from various places to interfere with his newspaper distribution?

#####

At least for this reason, it makes sense, and if Gao Zhang is willing to take action, Tan Zhen is naturally eager to do so.

"I didn't expect that Gao Xuanfu would be willing to pay so much for our Hangzhou Shipping Company. Our family is really grateful."

"Tan Tiju made a strong statement. Speaking of which, Commander Fang is grateful for your care and support, Tan Tiju."

"Furthermore, there are still a lot of businesses that need to go in and out through Hangzhou Xiushi. Thanks to Tan Tiju, you are here to take charge, so there is less trouble."

"How can I not repay you?"

The next thing was simple. Following Gao Zhang's suggestion, Tan Zhen decided to open an exhibition hall on the main dock in Hangzhou to exclusively display these samples.

Brochures and other brochures are also prepared, so that when the maritime merchants arrive, they can immediately learn about the special products of Hangzhou Shipping Division that can drain their pockets.

Just do what you say, Tan Zhen is also a very capable person.

We immediately dispatched capable personnel and immediately went to the dock to handle the matter.

#####

A barbarian merchant from Maroma, his ship has just arrived at the dock in Hangzhou.

Looking at this newly opened city, there are also a lot of empty docks without many merchant ships.

This made Ali extremely happy, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

If the commodity economy here is not prosperous enough, it cannot eat the goods on its own ship, or if it is here that it cannot purchase enough goods.

So coming here is equivalent to a wasted trip. Just when Ali came from the deck to the dock, he saw his interpreter communicating with people there.

Soon, he took a few pieces of paper from the other party, and after the two exchanged some words, they walked quickly towards him.

"Boss, we really came to the right place this time. Hangzhou Shipping Company has opened a special product exhibition hall next to this pier, which is full of special products from Hangzhou."

One of Ali's followers couldn't help but murmured something in a low voice.

"This is not far from the Mingzhou Shipping Department. If there is something here, wouldn't the Mingzhou Shipping Department not have it?"

"I don't think there are these things over there..." Zheng Tongyi laughed and handed over the pieces of paper.

"Whether it's a glass mirror that can illuminate a person's appearance more clearly than a bronze mirror, or a clock that can be used to tell time..."

"You're here, let's go and have a look. After all, we came to Hangzhou just to see if there are any good opportunities."

Ali heard what the interpreter said and agreed with the interpreter's suggestion without hesitation. The group of people walked towards a very eye-catching building next to the dock area, which was also guarded by Sibo soldiers.

When they arrived at the door, they were stopped and Ali was asked to show his identification first, and then each of the three of them was given a wooden sign with a ribbon to hang on his chest.

There is no decoration on such a wooden sign, only three words: Visitor's Pass.

The other party said that they had to hang it around their necks before they could enter the Hangzhou Ships Product Exhibition Hall.

After entering, a smiling clerk greeted him.

The other party also specially flashed the sign on his chest towards these three people. The three characters "Commentator" above are very eye-catching.

"The three distinguished guests look like they are new here. I wonder if you need commentators.

The explanation fee is fifteen cents, and we will accompany you throughout the process to explain the detailed parameters such as the quality and functions of the products here..."

As a wealthy maritime merchant, he naturally wouldn't care about this small amount of money.

What's important is that he saw some maritime merchants ahead, strolling around accompanied by commentators with signs like this.

After receiving the fifteen cents handed over by Ali's personal entourage, the man handed the money to the cashier on the side.

Then he came forward and began to lead the three of them for a walk in this large-scale exhibition hall.

After walking a few steps and standing still, he saw a disk about the size of a plate placed in front of him, and in the middle of the disk, there was a needle painted black on one end and red on the other.

There was a sign in front of him with a few lines of words simply written on it.

"Three of you, this is a compass, a tool made after improvements based on Simon.

Its practicality, portability and operability are far superior to the Sinan, and there are precise scales painted on it, with three hundred and sixty degrees as a week..."
