Chapter 16 Qian's Trading Company

…

That night.

Wang Shouzhe's carriage returned to the main house, and he wrote several letters and gave them to the generals for delivery.

Remind the closely related families as soon as possible to prevent them from feeling resentful towards the Wang family who were not affected by the disaster. Even if they discovered signs of an insect infestation, it would not prevent Wang from expressing his kindness.

In addition, Wang Shouzhe only took two family members and rode out overnight. After arriving at Dingpu Ferry, they secretly crossed the Anjiang River on a family fishing boat and rushed all the way to Changning Acropolis, when the sky became brighter.

The outline of Changning City is majestic and shining in the sun.

The city wall is more than ten feet high and is made entirely of thick black stone bricks. There are some soldiers with armor, bows and crossbows stationed on the battlements. Every few dozen feet, a giant bed crossbow was also deployed.

Changning Wei said that it was only a county town, but it was more powerful and domineering than those famous cities on earth.

There is no way, this world is not ancient China. In the dangerous environment of the outer world, there are many powerful monsters and beasts. In the event of a beast tide, high walls and fortified cities are the only barrier for humans.

Ping'an Town also has a city wall, but it is inferior compared to the Acropolis.

The horses of Wang Shouzhe and his three men slowly stopped in front of the city gate, dismounted, and joined the team that was rushing into the city early. However, most of those who rushed into the city at this time were farmers, small traders, handicraftsmen and other civilians.

As soon as they saw Wang Shouzhe and his family generals leading a tall horse and dressed in luxurious clothes, they instinctively stepped aside to show their awe.

In the Daqian Kingdom, the Xuanwu family is a privileged class, and even the most down-and-out small family cannot be compared to the common people.

The entrance to the east city.

Two soldiers in full armor came forward, checked Wang Shouzhe's family token, and then respectfully invited him into the city.

He didn't delay after entering the city, and took the horse directly to Qian's Trading Company. Qian's Trading Company has business all over Longzuo County, with strong strength and high reputation. The insect-killing powder refined by Zifu Academy was managed by Qian's Trading Company.

From this alone, Qian's Trading Company has made a lot of money, not to mention that their business is far more than just insect killer powder.

After taking out the Wang family token, the general stayed outside the door to wait. Wang Shouzhe was led into a side hall in the business house to wait. The maid served melon and fruit tea and then left.

Wang Shouzhe drank tea calmly and looked around. Even though it is just a side hall of a branch of a commercial bank, it is still decorated extremely luxuriously, with screens made of various precious woods, antique ornaments placed randomly, etc., each of which is of great value.

With Wang Shouzhe's relatively "shallow" understanding, he also realized the value of the decorations in this side hall. At least hundreds of thousands of gold, which shows the rich financial resources of Qian's Trading Company. It is indeed one of the wealthy families dominating Longzuo.

As a time traveler, Wang Shouzhe naturally understands the psychological tactics of Qian's firm.

Waited for about a quarter of an hour.

A middle-aged man with a fair build and a face full of words that read "Friendliness and Prosperity" came in: "The head of the Ping An Wang family is here in person. I apologize for the delay in greeting Qian."

Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes, and the other party's polite words showed a huge amount of information.

He only served as the clan leader for a mere two or three days, and now that the Ping An Wang family was in decline, even a change in the clan leader would not attract much attention. Unexpectedly, Qian's Trading Company not only paid attention to it. Within a quarter of an hour, his identity was established.

He truly deserves to be one of the business giants dominating Longzuo. His information capabilities are very powerful. Moreover, the other party's surname was Qian, he had an extraordinary temperament, and he was probably a member of the Qian clan.

"Wang, Wang took the liberty to come here, and I feel lucky to have Master Qian personally entertain him." Wang Shouzhe naturally responded politely and humbly. Naturally, this man named Qian cannot be the shopkeeper.

The Qian's Trading Company is huge, and even the shopkeeper of the Changning branch is a big shot. It is impossible for him to receive the leader of a run-down family in the Qi Refining Realm.

The two exchanged pleasantries and then sat down.

After sitting down, they did not start talking about business. Chief Qian and Wang Shouzhe started talking about Patriarch Zhouxuan, Patriarch Longyan, and then talked about Wang Shouzhe's achievements in passing the first examination of Zifu Academy. His enthusiasm was revealed in the conversation. Excellent work.

Wang Shouzhe had a grand plan on this trip, so naturally he couldn't show his timidity. He chatted with him and talked about mountains and rivers, and inadvertently showed his logical and thinking abilities that were stronger than those of the natives.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. With your knowledge, brother Shouzhe, if you take the re-examination of Zifu Academy, becoming a disciple of the academy is almost certain." Manager Qian inadvertently paid more attention to Wang Shouzhe, half-praising, half-praising. He said with emotion, "Zifu Academy not only pays attention to cultivation talents, they also value the vision and structure of the academy disciples. I think that in your hands, the Wang family will return to the top sooner or later, and even make further progress." "

"Brother Qian, please stop teasing me." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "We, the Ping An Wang family, only want to survive in peace and have nothing else."

Being polite to each other, the two have begun to call themselves brothers.

"Too modest is too modest. By the way, Brother Shouzhe, you came to Qian's Trading Company all night long. Do you think you have some big business to do?" After greetings for a long time, Mr. Qian finally couldn't hold back anymore and brought the topic to the right track. .

Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe put the tea cup down gently, his eyes full of calmness: "Speaking of which, I really need Brother Qian's help with this matter. I need five thousand bags of insecticide powder."

As soon as he said this, Mr. Qian's hands suddenly shook and he looked at Wang Shouzhe in disbelief. After a long while, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Shouzhe, are you just here to entertain me?"

"Brother Qian, why did you say this?" Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Qian's Trading Company, a large company, doesn't even have 5,000 bags of insecticide powder, right?"

"Brother, do you know how much 5,000 bags of insecticide powder are? One bag of insecticide powder is about 100 kilograms. After dilution, it is enough to cover 100 acres of farmland. Five thousand bags of insecticide powder is enough to cover 500,000 acres of farmland. "Yes." Chief Qian frowned and said, "Our Changning Guard and the towns under his command only have about 1.5 million acres of fertile land combined."

"I know." Wang Shouzhe's expression did not waver at all, his eyes were very serious.

Mr. Qian's expression gradually became more exciting: "Brother, are you kidding me?"

"Of course it's not a joke." Wang Shouzhe said, "Although my Ping'an Wang family is only from a ninth-grade family, I won't be so ignorant."

"Okay, okay, I really gave Brother Yu a big surprise. I took this deal." Boss Qian said with a happy expression, "However, the Changning branch of Qian's Commercial Bank only has 2,000 bags in stock, and the remaining 3,000 bags You need to go to other branches to pick it up, which will take at least ten days.”

"Why is the inventory so low?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly.

"This is already a lot. In previous years, the inventory was basically cleared." Mr. Qian said seriously, "Because it involves the planting and production of raw materials, the annual output of pest control is planned. Last year, there was a bumper harvest of raw materials and more production. It’s more than 10%. I originally wanted to sell it to various families at low prices, but I didn’t want only a few families to be willing to spend money to stock up. No, our Changning Guards still had a backlog of 2,000 bags of this batch last winter.”

"Brother, why aren't those families willing to take advantage of the low prices to stock up on goods?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually.

"Well...well, this matter is no longer a secret. Many families already know it, so it wouldn't be against the clan rules to tell my brother." Boss Qian hesitated for a while and then said helplessly, "The insect killer powder is used in Medicinal materials are grown through many family medicine fields. Because of the good profits, more and more family medicine fields have been put into production. In recent years, the output has been getting higher and higher, and we are also purchasing raw materials at low prices. This winter this year The output of a batch of insecticide powder may be... As you know, the bigger the family, the better informed it is."

Haha~ Wang Shouzhe understands that this is overcapacity and the market is saturated. Although he is not a professional in economics, his vision and consciousness still exceed those of the natives of this fantasy world.

"In that case." Wang Shouzhe said after thinking for a moment, "I want the two thousand bags of spot goods in the bank's inventory and the three thousand bags of futures."

"Well, brother Shouzhe, what are futures?" Boss Qian didn't understand the word at all, and his chubby face was full of doubts.
