"Origin Yu has rarely come to this Pacific side in recent years." Sun Chengli is not young anymore. In addition, he has overworked over the years and his temples are gray, but he looks pretty good. He still has the strength to take a boat to Panama City to host the preliminary preparations for an important branch.

Sun Chunyang's South Carolina Store has developed rapidly over the years. It is basically the second largest retail enterprise in the East Coast except state-owned department stores. It has a very significant position and strong profitability. Its actual operator, the Sun family from the Qing Dynasty in the East, has also leaped to improve its class.

Some people may say that Sun Chunyang South Carolina, a large syndicate company, has experienced many increase and expansion of shares, and its equity relationship is now extremely complex. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Wujiang Regional Administration, Northwest Reclamation Bank, United Industrial Credit Bank, and state-owned department stores all hold shares. Including the shares of a number of powerful investors, although the Sun family is very committed to participating in each capital allocation, the total shares they hold are still inevitably diluted to less than 20%.

Although the equity ratio has been diluted, as the founder family of Sun Chunyang's South Goods Store, the Sun family in Ningbo and Sun family in Suzhou have been entrusted with many responsibilities, and are actually the helmsman of the company. That is, the daily operations of the company are all under their jurisdiction. The other shareholders do not care much about it, and only vote on some major occasions. In addition, they are dividends. In short, they are a hand-off manager, giving the Sun family full freedom.

The two generations of the Sun family have indeed produced some talents, such as the older generation Sun Chengren, Sun Chengli, and the newer generation Sun Masayoshi, etc. In particular, the latter has been appreciated by many older generations of the Sun family, and the shareholders behind the scenes agree with their business ideas. Therefore, they gradually began to take over. In less than two years, they will take charge of this super-large enterprise with a total asset of more than one million yuan, leading it to continue to expand and develop, so that shareholders' assets can grow better.

Sun Chengli is a little older than Masayoshi Son and is considered an elder of his previous generation. However, under the instructions of this nephew, he had to run from the cold Araucan City to the humid and sultry Port of Panama, which was very busy. However, he could not have more complaints. After all, the treatment given to him by the company is quite good, far beyond the level of ordinary managers in China. Moreover, he is the smartest and most educated fourth son. If he wants to enter the Sun Chunyang South Goods Store and have a good starting point, he must also look at the face of his nephew. Therefore, he must not be evil at this time.

"I helped my family deal with some overseas industries, and then went to Liberty and New Courland to inspect them. There were no projects that I was satisfied with, so I came back to do my old business. Tianzun was in the past few years, wasting time in constant rush, and almost nothing was done. The only few investments were hard, and there was no hope of making a lot of money." Yu Xingguo picked up a cup of Madeira sweet wine, raised it to Sun Chengli, and said with a smile: "So now I am back to open this shipping company, and I am more aware of these old businesses and I am more at ease when I work. Moreover, my family basically agreed with my opinion. The industries that were fooled outside were left to my brothers and sisters to manage. I focused on shipping and sharing the big cake of Peru and New Spain trade."

The "handling of overseas industries" mentioned by Yu Xingguo just now is to put it bluntly that his mother's last movable and real estate in Bordeaux and French Santo Domingo were cashed out, and all the funds earned were poured into the East Coast, which is more valuable for investment. The reason for this is actually related to the fact that overseas industries have not made much money in recent years. In addition, the distance is a bit far away and they are unable to manage it, so they simply deal with it and sell it all. Anyway, the buyer is also a relative of his mother's family, so it is considered that the wealth is not flowing to outsiders' fields.

After giving up the overseas industry, the Yu family became a purer East Coast family. Although Yu Xingguo was a pure Frenchman, his father fought for the East Coast and currently worked in the Navigation School. His mother was a well-known businessman in Dongfang County and a member of the County CPPCC. He himself was a believer of Tianzun. He lived, studied and had his family business here since he was a child. He married a retired veteran, former county magistrate of Ping'an County and currently the deputy minister of the Ministry of Geology. He was a native of the East Coast. Therefore, he would concentrate on starting to trade in Western America. Under the care of sufficient capital and strong connections, the future prospects of the shipping company opened by Yu Xingguo are absolutely unlimited. At present, he has spent a huge amount of money to be in the Pacific Shipyard.

Orders for two 650-ton flute ships were placed at Zhenhai Shipyard. The total tonnage of these ships, plus several ships of different sizes, Yu Xingguo's fleet would be close to 4,000 tons, which is quite amazing. In today's East Coast, the messenger liner company, which is the general manager of Captain Ventura, is the Renjun Trading Company, which mainly deals with slaves and African specialties, and the Wenchang Trading Company, which is a major grain wholesaler, can steadily overpower him. Some other fleets and trading companies have less capacity than Yu, and those people don't have much intention of running a private fleet. They may be more willing to use the state-owned South China Sea Transportation Company, East Africa Transportation Company, and Inland Transportation Company to transport cargo.

"This sudden outbreak of the Western-French war is indeed an excellent opportunity for us. To be honest, some familiar Spanish merchants have found our store and asked to increase the shipment of daily necessities. Well, they are all merchants who have taken root in Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Guadalajara, and Santa Febogota Procuratorate Districts. They met by chance a few years ago, and have maintained relatively good trade contacts. This time, the group of merchants asked our store to increase shipments, which is obviously because the trade with the Caribbean Sea was affected, and then they had to ask for it. Basically, it's just like that." Sun Chengli drank his tea and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yu is also an old friend of our store, so we don't say anything secretly. Our store owner has decided to open a branch in Panama City.

The store specializes in purchasing local dyes, giant wood, tobacco, sugar, grain, ore, herbs, dried fruits, honey and other urgently needed domestic items, and then sells goods including daily necessities, food (liquid, cheese, butter, salt, etc.), and textiles. Such a large trade naturally requires sufficient and stable transportation capacity. In the past, we rented ships from Nantec Company, but once the ship schedule is unstable, it is difficult to say whether there is a cargo hold, which delays a lot of things. Now, I hope that the owner of Yu can cooperate with our store to make more space for the cargo in the store, and try to coordinate the ship schedule for our store. As for the freight, everything is easy to discuss. It is not impossible for us to sell part of the goods to owner of Yu to bring back local sales. What about this, this condition is quite generous, owner of Yu might as well consider..."

After saying that, Sun Chengli lowered his head to drink tea and waited patiently for Yu Xingguo's reply. There were some sweet breads on the table, divided into two categories, one of which was called "Visocho", which was suitable for eating with wine on the table; the other was a bit similar to ginger bread, called "calabassa" in Spanish, with a golden top. Both breads were made of high-quality Peruvian wheat (grown in a drier coastal area along Peru, with a very good quality and exported to the southern cone area in large quantities). The taste was very delicious. Sun Chengli tasted it and vaguely felt the shadow of the delicious "Fu Lu Shou Xi" series of biscuits produced by the local Dafeng Food Company. He immediately felt that this Spanish was useless.

However, perhaps the shopkeeper Sun had some misunderstandings. The majority of the breads were made by Spanish people. A large number of bakers from Italy, France and England served the Spanish Kingdom. From the peninsula to Italy, to the South Netherlands, and the New World far away, the traces of these foreign craftsmen can be seen everywhere, while the Spanish enjoyed the services of these foreigners leisurely, and what they paid was nothing more than gold and silver everywhere in Mexico, Charcas and other places.

Perhaps it is due to the geographical factors. Peru's honey is so cheap. It can be seen from the price of honey dipped bread on the table. There are only two rials! Of course, this may also be related to the Spanish's favorite honey sweets. Isn't Castilla a proverb, that is, "A mother's best wishes to her son are: bees, sheep, grinding stones, a pen behind her ears and a place in the church."

There are also some fruits and vegetables on the table, with vegetables being common nearby purslane, spinach and onions, and fruits being citrus. The Spanish like to eat these vegetables with bread, and sometimes there are some anchovies mixed with Spanish oregano, a spice that is also sold well in China. They will eat some citrus after meals. All the above foods are not produced by the Spanish. The fish is purchased from the Nantie Company, and the fruits and vegetables are planted and transported by Indian laborers in the countryside (they even have to transport water). The Spanish just enjoy it, which is very comfortable. No wonder their colonial army is so decaying. Ask, if you live in such a comfortable and enjoyable environment all day long and get a lot of money from time to time, how can you maintain your reasonable combat effectiveness?

Compared with Peru's life in Buenos Aires, Charcas and other places, life is a world of difference!

Yu Xingguo did not let Sun Chengli wait too long. He had actually had this consideration before. Sun Chunyang's South Goods Store also asked about his opinions through other channels and obtained some guarantees from him and his family. Otherwise, he would not have come to Panama City with Sun Chengli for a while. Do you think everyone is here for a trip?

Therefore, after Sun Chengli asked, he quickly gave a relatively positive response, saying that he was willing to cooperate more deeply with Sun Chunyang South Carolina. He and his fleet will definitely give priority to transporting all kinds of goods ordered by Sun Chunyang South Carolina, and then sell them to their Panama branch at a discounted price. In return, in addition to paying relatively generous transportation costs, Sun Chunyang South Carolina will also sell a batch of Spanish goods purchased from Panama and its surrounding areas to Yu Xingguo's fleet, and transport them back to their local area to organize their sales.

You should know that this promise means many things, and the most important of them is undoubtedly rich profits. Especially now that the domestic market is gradually expanding and consumption capacity is gradually increasing, these scarce commodities brought back from Peru can basically be sold at a good price. Therefore, Yu Xingguo is also quite satisfied with this and has decided to cooperate well with Sun Chunyang's South Goods Store, but this matter needs to be communicated with his family. In addition, there are some details that need to be improved, but the obstacles in principle no longer exist. Yu Xingguo seems to have seen his bright future.

The commercial problems were solved, and the remaining topics were relaxed. The two sat on this open-air balcony in the tavern, eating exquisite food while drinking tea and chatting. Just like those real Spanish Hidalgos, they could not have been more beautiful. Of course, this was based on the pain of the Indians' lives.

A group of pigs walked past the street outside the tavern. It was nothing. Panama produced a lot of pigs, and the number of pigs was very large, making the street smelly, but the problem was that the number of pigs passing by the street was too many! It was so much that it had been ten minutes since the pigs on the street were still not finished, and they were still moving forward, and the odor was still floating in the air around them...

What the hell is this? Yu Xingguo and Sun Chengli looked at each other and saw the deep doubts in each other's eyes. So they quickly called the tavern waiter and found out the news with a riyal consumption.

The real situation is ridiculous. After inquiry, it was found that these pigs were prepared to be transported outside the city and then rushed to the Port of Bello on the east side of the isthmus. Then there, the pigs will be sent to the docks for sale, and the buyers are famous East Coast people. To be more precise, they are purchased by Caribbean shipping companies on the east coast, and then shipped to French Santo Domingo to replenish the "Army Master" and some miscellaneous military officers and soldiers who are resting there to encourage them to continue to conquer cities and land in the Caribbean Sea, which is also beneficial to the future development of Caribbean shipping companies.

When Yu Xingguo and Sun Chengli learned about this situation, they looked at each other and said nothing. The heroic battle of the East Coast Army and Navy in the Caribbean is the best guarantee of their interests. How many people don’t understand this principle nowadays, as long as they do international trade, how many people donate to it? Don’t you see that the fundraising and war in major cities in China are timely due to the donation of traders like Yu Xingguo and Sun Chengli are always very enthusiastic, because this will always bring benefits to them afterwards.

I just don’t know what the Caribbean Sea is now separated by an isthmus.
