Chapter 151 Investment

Li Feihu and Xu Shiyang have the same feeling: In the world, the fastest way to make money is to grab it directly.

What's more, no matter how much Li's Group attaches importance to business and maintains its commercial reputation, they are essentially pirates, and it is not technically difficult for them to transform from an international trader into a gang of robbers in an instant.

Another annoying problem for the Li Group is that in Fusang, except for a few "pirate names" who have some confidence in the navy, other coastal warlords have implemented a strict sea ban system. In addition to their own Zhou ships that can do some international trade every year, foreigners' trade in Fusang can only rely on the smuggling of a few private ports, which makes people sad.

Therefore, Li Feihu, Li Feihuang and other Li Group large cabinets are planning an armed plundering operation against several large ports in Fusang. It is of course very good if they can use this to open up the Fusang market. If it doesn't work, at least robbing one port can satisfy the appetite of the large cabinet.

Of course, Li Feihu did not tell Xu Shiyang so clearly these reasons. He just vaguely hinted at the desire to use the Zhou ship to launch a large-scale operation against Fusang.

After probably understanding the idea of ​​the Li Group, Xu Shiyang had no reason to refuse. He directly agreed on a temporary contract with Li Feihu:

The Zhou ship itself was sent to Li Feihu, and the Li group gave Xu Shiyang a lucky ship of about the same size in exchange.

In addition, the Li Group allowed Xu Shiyang to recruit sailors from near Shuangyu, and allowed Xu Shiyang's fleet to be stationed in Shuangyu at a more preferential tax rate in the future, but the Xu family's goods need to be sold directly at Shuangyu Port to the Li Group at a discount.

In other words, except for the copper and sulfur that Xu Shiyang wanted to bring back, other goods, including thousands of leather pieces, Fusang's Japanese swords and corpses, and the Zhou ships sent to Li Feihu on the spot.

In Xu Shiyang's view, this is a cooperation agreement. For some reason, from Li Feihuang to Li Feihu, the two Li large cabinets he had seen seemed to have a tendency to win over him, so he took a lot of advantage in the agreement.

With Li Group as a special distributor, the stolen goods obtained from Xu Shiyang's pirate operations can be quickly removed from the stock, turning them into more convenient cash, and then go to Lin'an to buy various urgently needed supplies.

This is a great way to open the door to convenience for Xu Shiyang.

What's more...

"Brother Xu can take a closer look at Shuangyu." Li Feihu got the boat he wanted and seemed in a good mood. He smiled and said, "If you have anything you want to buy, just tell us the manager of our Li family. The price is easy to discuss."

Can buy supplies from the Li Group, which controls the waterway...

"Shi Yang thanked Brother Li here."

...

"Brother Third, he values ​​you very much."

After Li Feihu left, Xu Shiliu whispered to Xu Shiyang:

"Their family is much stronger than ours, but they are making concessions everywhere when discussing things."

"I don't understand why this is not."

Xu Shiyang frowned and said:

"We just took a big advantage, but I don't quite understand why he agreed to us to take advantage. If you just say that he likes me, I am alone, really worthy of his proactive compromise?"

"Maybe it's because of our reputation for defeating the Tartars?"

"I can only think like this for the time being." Xu Shiyang sighed: "I don't understand what the other party is thinking. It feels really uncomfortable. It would be great if our family is so strong that we don't need to care what they think."

"No matter what, seizing every opportunity to strengthen oneself is the bottom line, and cooperating with pirates is not a big deal."

Xu Shiyang made up his mind:

"Let's go to the market to see if there are any supplies needed. This time, try not to bring the money back, and all of them will be replaced!"

...

"Uncle San, do you value Xu Shiyang very much?"

"Xiao Shisan, what do you think of this person?"

“Very ambitious.”

Li Feihuang walked towards the Li's shopping mall in Shuangyu Port and said thinking:

"But I was too tough to see the situation clearly. When I saw him outside the sea, I almost started fighting with him."

"What if he is not unable to see the situation clearly, but is confident in his own strength?" Li Feihu said with a smile.

"Haha, no matter how confident he is, he is only two ships, and one of them was just grabbed. How can he be worthy of the third uncle's attention?"

"Xiao Shisan, the Great Zhou has moved south for more than ten years. Have you ever seen any forces that dare to fight the Tartars to the end?" Li Feihu smiled and said, "Did you see the guards around him?"

"Very strong." Li Feihuang nodded.

"Not only strong, I noticed the identities of two of the guards: a rat-tailed Tartar, and a month-old Japanese sect." Li Feihu said: "I'm afraid they were captured after they were defeated?"

Leaving Puluhun was to use his Tartar identity to elevate Xu Shiliu, so Xu Shiyang never cut off his braids, allowing outsiders to see the nation he came from at a glance.

Li Feihuang thought for a while and nodded, "It should be."

"I heard that at the beginning of last year, Japanese pirates plundered a generation of Qi Province in Jiangbei, but were defeated by local rural heroes?"

"That's right, you didn't see his ship. The ship was originally taken away by our Japanese pirates, but now it has been in the hands of the Xu surnamed. It should have been snatched at that time."

"Well?" Li Feihu patted Li Feihuang's head with a little doting and said slowly: "Our family raises their hands now, and what flows out of their fingers can be remembered for the rest of their lives. If his family is developed by then, we will definitely make ten or a hundred times more profitable."

For the Li Group, the discount given to Xu Shiyang now is not even a drop in the bucket. This is also the reason why Li Feihu can decide the matter with Xu Shiyang in just a few words.

A billionaire "invests" a promising young man on the street to buy a breakfast for ten yuan to satisfy his hunger. He doesn't need to go to the office to sign a contract, just do it casually.

Even if you take a look, this young man can't get up at all. If the investment is wasted, the rich man will not feel distressed.

But if the Xu family really could really get up in the future, or even if they just gain a foothold in Qi Province, stabilize the people's livelihood and resume production, their family's maritime business would naturally give Li Group, which was once a timely help.

For Pirates, this is actually an investment with low investment, high risk and high returns.

"Xiao Shisan, don't you also want to recruit him to make a small cabinet?" Li Feihu asked: "What did you think at that time?"

"Seeing that he can grab a ship, I think he has the strength of a small cabinet." Li Feihuang replied: "It's a pity that he didn't agree. After hearing what Uncle San said, maybe I should try it again?"

"No, ambitious people usually have strong self-esteem, so they won't come to our house to make a small cabinet." Li Feihu smiled and said, "Besides, his strength is on land, so what's the use of letting him come to the sea?"

"Go and try to recruit the Lotus and tell Xu Shiyang that if the Lotus can control his Xu family's fleet, we will agree that the Lotus will hang a small cabinet in our house. This is also a kind of reciprocity and he will not disagree."
