Chapter 157: Only sell eggs, not chickens!

The season has passed the vernal equinox, and the greenery in the mountains and fields is getting more and more, and with the sunshine, this day is really a good day.

A group of three carriages, surrounded by more than a dozen bulging guards, went straight out of Jinzhou City Gate to Santan Yinyue Wharf.

"It's more comfortable to ride a horse than riding a horse. Tang Jun, you've been trying hard to make me a big deal this time." Chen Liang told Tang Cheng's reply. The main purpose of Durach's trip had been achieved. His mood was as good as the weather. After jokingly speaking, Durach said seriously: "Tang Jun, I want me to say that you don't need to go to see this pier. Since you want to build roads, I have no reason to support you. I'll say how much you want. Brother, I'll never say anything."

Tang Chengcai didn't believe that Durach was really not interested in the wharf at all. As an old merchant, he could not see the value of the wharf. In this way, he was just acting like a friend! Even though he got the wharf, he had to owe him a favor. This old fox really had fun thinking at all times and everywhere.

"Friendship is friendship, business is business. Only when the public and private relationship is clear can this friendship last for a long time. If you are really not interested in this wharf, then I can't even ask for a penny. After all, building roads is the business of the court. How can I let you spend your money for business? Tang Cheng laughed, "Let's take a look at the goods first."

Zhou Jun, who was sitting in the car in Durah, looked at Durah, then looked at Tang Cheng, and smiled and said nothing.

The river breeze was blowing, and Tang Cheng accompanied Zhou Jun, Durah and Zhang Liang to the dock.

After carefully reading the Three Pools Yinyue, Zhang Liang looked at Tang Chenghou who said nothing and exclaimed: "It is indeed a natural deep-water dock. The terrain is also good. From this, the boat can be put down smoothly and it will not take long to put it directly on the Xiakou." After that, he stopped for a moment and said: "If this dock had been available, it would be much more convenient to buy tung oil last year. The price alone would be at least 10% of the freight fee."

"Brother Zhang said very well, but Shandong Dongdao not only produces tung oil, but also produces lacquerware and silk satin. These are the mainstays of ocean trade." Zhou Jun took over Zhang Liang's words. "Since you can directly eat foodies in the place of origin, why bother exploiting the transporter? These people's faces are not good-looking!"

Since he got on the dock, Tang Cheng has not said a word about the benefits of this dock except introducing the terrain.

Since you are holding good things, it is worth the price of good things! Besides, this is clearly a win-win deal, which is only beneficial to Durah. Then Tang Chengru didn't think of giving him the opportunity to be good and friendly, otherwise, he would be really sorry for God's gift to Jinzhoudi, a good wharf.

Durach looked at him carefully than anyone else without saying the same sentence. In the end, he could not resist Tang Cheng and finally turned around and laughed: "Good dock. Tang joined the army, this is indeed a good product."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled, "Brother has such a good eye!"

"I remember that Tang Zongjun, your previous job was Sitian Cao's judge, right?" At this point, Durah suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the river beach not far from the dock and said, "Sitian Cao is in charge of the land. My old brother wants to buy that river beach land. Brother Tang, you have to help."

"The ginger is still so spicy." Before Tang Cheng could answer, Zhou Jun smiled and said, "I was just about to say this."

Today I mainly came to see the wharf, but now I have nothing to say about the wharf. But these two giant merchants suddenly pointed to the river beach and were still so interested. Feng Haizhou, who accompanied him, looked at Tang Cheng sideways when he heard this.

"This may disappoint you two," Tang Cheng looked at the river beach and said with a smile: "There is already a master in that river beach."

"Oh?" Durahe was stunned when he heard this. The pier was so depressed. He really didn't expect that someone would buy the river beach full of stone sand. After a moment of pondering, he smiled and said, "If you buy it, you can sell it again, Brother Tang. I will entrust you to this matter. I will ask for all thirty guan per acre."

Thirty cents! When he heard this price, Feng Haizhou felt a little sad. When Tang Juesi bought this land, he had 4 cents and one acre of land, and more than 400 acres. Doesn’t this mean that he can earn nearly 10,000 cents in just one purchase? Ten thousand cents and you can buy seven or eight hundred acres of good paddy fields. Thinking of this, thinking about the land on the river beach has been deserted for decades, no one asked, and Feng Haizhou didn’t know what to say.

Damn, why didn’t I think about buying this piece of land early?

What was beyond Feng Haizhou's surprise was that after hearing this number, Tang Cheng's face did not change at all, and he shook his head directly.

"Fifty taels?".

Fifty cents, what is the price? Feng Haizhou was really anxious when he saw Tang Cheng shook his head again, but this was Tang Cheng's land after all, so he couldn't help but worry.

Seeing that Tang Cheng was still shaking his head, the smile on Durah's face was a little forced. Will anyone buy such a river beach land that can't produce anything? Even if someone buys it, it's only 60,700 yuan per acre at most. Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, I offer a price of 50 yuan per acre. You can just come forward to buy it and then buy it again. One acre can make more than 40 yuan per acre. This land is estimated to be less than 450 yuan. This is the net profit of nearly 20,000 yuan per acre. I am enough to thank you for your help yesterday. I am not satisfied yet?

"Oh! Not OK, Brother Tang is so thoughtful." After pondering for a while, Durah looked at the river beach again and gritted his teeth and said, "Sixty Strings".

When Feng Haizhou heard this number, he was completely speechless. In a blink of an eye, the value of these more than 400 acres of land increased fifteen times, fifteen times!

Then, he suddenly remembered Tang Cheng's words that day, "No matter what price this place will rise in the future, I will sell you ten acres at the original price." After recalling the words he listened to as a joke on that day, Feng Haizhou was shocked.

No one has asked about that place for decades since its opening. How did Tang Zhisi know that it would increase its price? Could it be that he knew that Shandong Dongdao would build roads? No, at that time, Yuguan had not come to Jinzhou, and there was no news at all. Tang Zhisi could not know. Besides, even if he knew, how could he be sure that Jinzhou would build roads?

Then Feng Haizhou thought of the last possibility, which was tortured by Tang Juansi, the errand for the road construction this time, was not trapped, but he took the initiative to do it?

The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more certain, the more I thought about it, the more I became. Feng Haizhou's expression changed a little. From the time he bought this river beach last year to now, it was so deep! It was this boss who had trapped the entire yamen in one pit. Now I think about Yao Jun and Ma. Think about those people who heard that Tang Cheng took over this errand and said that he was crazy...

I'm crazy, yes, I'm crazy! But it's definitely not Tang Judgsi...

After thinking a lot in his mind, Feng Haizhou suddenly remembered that Tang Cheng had promised to buy his ten acres of land at the original price. At the current price, ten acres would be 600 guan. 600 guan is the total salary of his past fifteen years. With these 600 guan, he could replace a large house and...

Thinking of this, Feng Haizhou's distracting thoughts about Tang Cheng just now were gone. Now he only hopes that Lord Sent Si must not shake his head again.

Unfortunately, Tang Cheng couldn't feel this strong wish. He still shook his head.

"Sixty knots are not enough?" Durach smiled, "There is really nothing to do."

After that, Tang Cheng, you are too over! Durah has made up his mind at this time. After going back later, he will immediately send someone to ask the buyer of this river beach.

After hearing Durah's complete abandonment, Feng Haizhou felt his heart suddenly empty. What saved him from extreme disappointment was Zhou Jun's words, "Since that's the case, I'll add ten more coins."

"Seventy cents per acre", Zhang Liang, who had just kept smiling, looked at Tang Cheng, and smiled slightly and said, "This is a sky-high price."

"I bought this land after I came back from Yangzhou last year. The price was four cents per acre, and it has been less than half a year. Seventy cents have increased fifteen times, and it is indeed a sky-high price, which is too high!" At this point, Tang Cheng bowed to Durah and Zhou Jun and smiled and said, "It's not that I intentionally wanted to raise the price, but I never thought about selling it again when I bought this place that day."

"You actually bought it?"

"I bought it when I came back from Yangzhou last year?".

This unexpected news made the scene silent for a moment. Zhou Jun and Durach were thinking about something while lowering their heads. Zhang Liang didn't ask anything. He just looked at Tang Cheng meaningfully.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng smiled. He knew that Zhang Liang had figured it out. Indeed, it was because of his news that Yu Dongjun, the Minister of Works, was about to serve as the observation envoy of Shandong East Road and the main road of Fangzhou that he would decisively buy this land.

"Good vision"

"Good scheming"

After silence, Zhou Jun and Durah said these two sentences with similar meanings almost at the same time.

"What a scheming person? You two are too arrogant to me. They were just hot-headed that day."

He said that the two of them were willing to believe this, but they didn't say anything else. Zhou Jun changed his mind and said, "This land cannot grow crops, and naturally it cannot do the ancestral property that can be passed down from generation to generation. Brother Tang, you must have the intention to sell when you bought that day. Now I am here, and I am sincerely buying it. Brother Tang, you can offer a price, so we will definitely not refute it."

"Brother Zhou wants to take the exam for me?" Tang Cheng laughed when he heard this, "Why would Brother Zhou be willing to buy a high price of 70 volts of land in a river beach with no production? If I expected it was good, Brother Zhou would want to build a warehouse after buying this land, right?"

Just looking at Zhou Jun's expression, you will know that Tang Cheng's guess was good.

"It is thanks to the two of you that I understand that this land on the river beach is actually a golden rooster. Since that's the case, it's enough to sell eggs. Wouldn't it be too stupid to sell even chickens?" said Tang Cheng, who said this, smiled lightly: "But although this land is not sold, it can be divided."

"Oh, how to divide it?" Zhou Jun and Durah are both engaged in bulk business. Now that there is a dock, if they can build warehouses on the adjacent river beach to form storage capacity, they will have higher freedom in the dispatch of foodies or shipments, and the docks they control invisibly have greater value. This is also the fundamental reason why the two are willing to offer such a high price.

"Two plans, one is to build a warehouse here. After the warehouse is completed, the two can pay the rent every year; the other is to use this warehouse as a part-time money and participate in the business of the two wharfs; of course, if the two want to do business in other places, it is also possible. Once the road is completed and the wharfs are open, the place will inevitably be prosperous. Popularity is wealth. Not only the warehouses, but also the wine shops and inns are profitable. If the two intend to do business like this, I will go out and the two pay for the house to build a building. The business will make a profit of 55 points." After speaking in one breath, Tang Cheng laughed and said, "I don't know what I think of my plan?"

When Tang Cheng walked out of the inn, he had a relaxed smile on his face.

"You, this shop's business is really amazing." Zhang Liang pointed at Tang Cheng and pointed at him: "It's fine for Durah's decision. I didn't expect that Zhou Jun would agree to let you join his business."

"I didn't expect that I thought he would definitely choose to pay rent like Durach."

"Maybe, he wants to tie you tighter. In this way, his business is your business, and Tang Cheng, you must not plan for it. Think about it carefully, Zhou Jun is very far-reaching." At this point, Zhang Liang suddenly stopped and smiled, and said seriously: "Tang Cheng, come to Beijing. You are indeed talented in business affairs. When you come to Beijing, you happen to take over my business. It will definitely be more helpful to the third young master. It is a pity to stay in this small Jinzhou."

"It's just that the blind cat hit the dead rat, and it's too polite to me when it comes to talent! Brother Zhang may not have thought of it. Just this time last year, I just came out of my family and was still worried about the expenses of eating after I arrived in the county. Alas, I'm really afraid of it! If I want to change, I can only spend more time thinking about making money. The so-called talent is just to pay more attention and focus more than others." Tang Cheng, who also stopped, smiled and shook his head and said, "These two times are to deal with merchants to solve the difficulties at home. In fact, I am not here. After borrowing a stable income from the river beach, I will wait for the road to be repaired. My mind should be turned to my studies. A good student has prepared for the imperial examination and has a proper background. The help to the third son may be greater in the future."

"Oh, I heard what you mean is that you don't want to do business as a merchant anymore?"

"I do have this idea," Tang Cheng nodded, "I used to be forced to do it. In fact, there are many things in this world that are worth pursuing besides making money. Haha, since I started the tung oil business last year, I have really put too little effort into my studies in my studies. I am not afraid of Brother Zhang's jokes. Although I am now a student of the state, I have never even entered the state school once. I am really ashamed to say."

"What a pity," Zhang Liang smiled and sighed, "Forget it, since you have the ambition of being a proper person, it's hard to persuade me again."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded with a smile, and the two continued to walk forward, "Brother Zhang, if you always leave these two days, please help persuade him and let him stay for a few more days."

"Why is this? Isn't it done all the serious business?"

"After I finish the road construction and land acquisition work in two days, I intend to use the names of Durah and Zhou Jun to invite all the merchants in the provinces to Jinzhou for a while." Tang Cheng smiled, "This is a matter of pulling the tiger's skin to make a big flag. Once Durah leaves, I can't make this flag."

"Merchant meeting! Could it be to attract merchants on your river beach?"

"It's not only here, but the main purpose is to promote, promote Jinzhou, and promote the wharf. The more popular the spread, the more popular it becomes. It's still the same old saying, popularity is wealth. Speaking of which, this is also very beneficial to Laodu and Zhou Jun. As for attracting merchants for my riverside land, it's just a matter of bringing in."

"Okay, Tang Cheng, you have squeezed Durah and Zhou Jun so cleanly, from money to their reputation," Seeing that Tang Cheng's smile was a little strange, Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "No, I understand. Since you have to make such a big noise, there must be other people besides what you just said, so tell me, what is it?"
