Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The old man was looking around with his Clairvoyance, but he couldn't see the pier. The pier was in the middle of the bay, so he could only see boats coming and going. They were all fishing boats.
"Grandpa, grandpa, look over there. There are many birds in the sky. Aiya, all the boats are heading that way. Are they trying to catch the birds?"
Xin Er stood at the bow of the boat and shouted happily while pointing at the sea birds flying in the sky. She had been watching the sea for more than a month, but she was still willing to watch the sea for a whole day.
The old man looked over and nodded, then shook his head and said, "Xin Er, they are not catching birds, they are fishing. Those seabirds found a school of fish in the water below, so they gathered together to eat. When the fishermen saw this, they followed them."
"Oh, why didn't I see such a thing on the road? I know, on the road, I saw many fishing boats. Even if there were many, there weren't so many. Moreover, they all went to sea early. Some went to sea at night and returned early in the morning.
Usually, there were only a few people, so there was no chance to see it. They gathered everyone together. Some were in charge of chasing the fish, some were in charge of catching the fish, and they were divided into batches. This is better. Why didn't other places know about this? So stupid. "
Xin Er asked and began to answer on her own. She didn't need others to say anything.
The old man found that his granddaughter was indeed different from before. Seeing his granddaughter ask about the cooperation, he explained, "Some people will cooperate. For example, in some fishing villages, they will cooperate to catch fish. But many times, it will be difficult to distribute the fish. If they catch too much, they will catch too little, and the distribution will not be as fair.
Some people don't have the strength to catch fish, but they are experienced and know where the fish are. Then, they will bring them on the boat, and when the time comes, won't they have to distribute the fish properly? Sometimes, they will lose, and sometimes they will gain. If a person is always losing, then he will not do it. "
"Yes, grandpa, I understand. In fact, it's just that they lack a prestigious organizer. This organizer must be as fair as possible. It seems that they are doing a good job."
Xin 'er said as she looked at the boats that had already dispersed.
As soon as the ship entered the bay, the old man discovered that there were some sand banks on the beach. However, they weren't completely finished yet. Only two old men were sitting there, motionless while looking at the sea. The old man didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know what to say.
Xin 'er also saw the unfinished dike, then looked into the distance and said, "There's a salt pan over there, it's for drying salt, it's really capable, it can actually dry it, I saw it in Lianzhou, they all learned it from here, did their people all go to collect food, I heard that the food here can grow many times a year, then they must have a lot of food."
"Yes. Drying salt is much easier than boiling salt. Look at the seawall. It's a real service to the country and the people. When he finishes building the seawall, it's almost time for him to leave this place. The ones who will benefit the most are the next provincial governor and the local people. The money is paid by the Zhang family first. It's impossible to get the money back by relying on the tax of the government."
The old man sighed. As long as he faced the Zhang family, he couldn't help but sigh.
When it came to money, Xin 'er became smart. She continued her grandfather's words and said, "In fact, this is why the Zhang family is so powerful. They spent money and won the hearts of the people. They also have the position of provincial governor. They also have political achievements. Naturally, the provincial governor will protect his family's business.
Ordinary businessmen won't do this kind of thing because they won't get any benefits. But people like the Zhang family are suitable. They spend money to make a good place. Only then can they rely on this place to make money. It's like a fisherman throwing some rice flour, bones, and other things into the water before fishing. When the fish follow the smell, they will use better bait to catch them.
Grandpa, although the Zhang family spends a lot of money, they also make a lot of money. When Uncle Zhang is no longer here, this place will also have the power of the Zhang family. They organize all the people in all the industries. They have mutual shares and management. In this way, if others want to get involved, they have to pay a high price.
The most important thing is that all these things called shares are given to the people at the bottom. If you want to buy them one by one, if you want to separate all the combined industries and choose only one industry to invest in, the price you have to pay will far exceed the price of the industry itself. "
"In other words, others can't get in at all, right?" the old man asked his granddaughter.
"Yes, there's no industry that can't be entered. Then it depends on the method. At least, the Zhang family can't find out, and the Zhang family can't fight back. If the Zhang family isn't in charge of this place now, I can get in slowly. But with the Zhang family, if I want to get in, I have to go directly to the Zhang family and pay a certain price to get in. "
Xin Er said without thinking. She wasn't afraid of how firm the thing was. She was afraid that this firm thing could be moved. As long as she made a move, the Chamber of Commerce would fight back.
The old man understood now. It turned out that there were loopholes in such a messy system of mutual shares. It was just that when this loophole existed, there was someone holding the fort. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that no one could compete with the Zhang family in this aspect, especially when the Chamber of Commerce was in the hands of the Zhang family. The Zhang family had all the right time, the right place, and the right people.
"Grandpa, look, there's a boat coming. It seems to be coming for us. It's a small boat." Xin Er's eyes were sharp. She immediately saw the boat coming over and shouted to her grandfather.
The old man looked and saw that the boat was indeed coming for them. The person standing on the boat was waving at them, so he must know that they were here.
Xin Er also waved happily. While waving her arms, she said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, now I can finally swim with Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, right? I wanted to swim on the way here. I can swim more than a hundred feet in the river. Didn't they say that swimming in the sea is more effortless? "
"Okay, you can swim here. How far can you swim with your hundred feet? Look at the sea, you can't reach the end of it for more than a thousand feet. If you follow Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, you can swim however you want. Their swimming skills are not ordinary. Is he asking us to get close to them? Do we have to get off the boat? "
The old man said to his granddaughter. He saw that the person on the boat was waving at them again and pointing at the boat under his feet from time to time.
When the boat was close enough, the man finally shouted, "Someone come down and follow me back to report the news."
"Oh, one of you get off. When you reach the place, tell them that I'll be there immediately. There's no need to make such a big show to welcome them.
The food is more important, "the old man said to the person beside him. He knew that with his relationship with the Zhang family, they would make some preparations after he went over. He didn't care about this kind of thing. He didn't need to make a big show. With his relationship with the Zhang family, it was fine as long as he saw them.
"Just let Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, and Sister Liu 'er come over. There's no need for the others. Go do your work." Xin Er also said. She was so anxious that she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly over there to see the few people she wanted to see.
At this time, a person from the boat came over and said to the old man flatteringly, "Sir, you're such a high-ranking official. If they don't come to welcome you, it means that they don't respect you enough. Let them welcome you."
The old man turned to look at this person and asked, "You're not from the Jing Water Boat Line?"
"I hitched a ride on a boat. A relative of mine took me here. I heard that there are a lot of good things here. I want to see if I can do some business," the person immediately replied.
The old man nodded and didn't say anything. With his status, he didn't need to explain anything to a person who secretly took a boat.
However, Xin Er couldn't accept it. She said, "What do you mean by respect? Between the Clouds and the Water is such a big business. Isn't it respect that you specially ordered the recipe for my grandfather? My grandfather and I wanted to come here and take a look. We transferred this kind of boat from the Jing Water Boat Line. It only takes people and doesn't carry goods. Do you know how much money you'll lose each time? Isn't that respect? "
"Yes, yes. Respect, it's definitely respect." This person originally wanted to flatter this high-ranking official, but he didn't expect that after being asked a few questions, he couldn't say anything else.
Xin Er continued, "People like you who secretly take a boat and use the name of a boat line should be dealt with, especially by the relative who let you on. What if you assassinate my grandfather? However, I won't pursue this matter. As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. En, don't talk too much. Leave as soon as you get down. "
"Yes, yes, it should be dealt with. It's just that there are no fish. When I get down, I'll immediately … immediately … Aiya, I originally wanted to do some business with the locals. I didn't expect that they were all trading companies. This is going to be troublesome."
This person glanced at the bodyguards who were standing guard by the side and nodded at Xin Er. However, when he thought of the purpose of his visit, he became very depressed. Since the Zhang family had their own fleet, how could they let others interfere? What's more, his original idea couldn't be realized now.
That was to discuss with the relative and come here by boat. After buying some things, they would quietly transport them to the boat and follow the boat back. This way, they could save on the cost of the boat and make a lot of money, especially the hawksbill turtles, which were very valuable in other places.
Xin Er could make money by herself and played the top commercial game. As soon as she heard this person's words, she knew what his plan was. This kind of person could be considered a talent. He actually came so far to make money and even took such a big risk.
Xin Er's personality was different from normal people because she often interacted with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and played the game with special rules. Normally, when people found out about this kind of thing, they would first arrest this person and then have someone send a letter back to control the person's relatives.
But what Xin 'er was thinking was how to observe such a person and then take him in for her own use when she felt that he was good enough. Therefore, she coughed and pretended to be an old woman and said, "About this … you … can still take care of him. Tell me, what kind of business do you do over there?"
The person was stunned when he heard this. When he looked at Xin Er's expression and the way she looked with her hands behind her back, he almost laughed, but he knew that he absolutely couldn't laugh. If he did, it would be over. When he tried to hold it in, his expression was very painful, but he couldn't not answer. He knew that this was an opportunity. Although the person in front of him was a little girl, many people would listen to her.
He organized his words and said, "I do all kinds of business over there, but there is no fixed business. If I see something that is profitable, I will do it. I don't have much money, only a little more than a thousand strings of coins. This time, I came here to buy some hawksbill turtles and shell incense, but it seems that I won't be able to get them."
"Oh ~!" Xin Er and Weiwei nodded and then asked, "Land A is a place where there is more rain and less drought. It produces rice. It is three hundred miles away from Land B. There are two rivers in the middle, and the water flows rapidly. There is also a mountain, which is very steep. Land B is more drought and less rain, and it is rich in jujubes. Question, the weather suddenly changed. This year, Land A is more drought and less drought, and Land B is more rain and less drought. What should be bought and sold between the two places?"
"It changed?" The person listened and was about to interrupt to say that he could buy rice from Land A and sell it to Land B, and then buy jujubes from Land B and sell them to Land A, but he didn't expect this to be a question, and it was a sudden change in weather.
The person was stumped by the question. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "I know. I can also buy rice from Land A, raise the price of rice from Land A, and then buy rice from Land B and sell it to Land A. As long as I have enough money, I can make a lot of money from farming."
"You only have a thousand strings of coins. How is that enough? Didn't you just say that you have a thousand strings of coins? "Xin Er said.
"Then I will use three hundred strings of coins to buy rice from Land A, and seven hundred strings of coins to buy rice from Land B." The person directly divided the thousand strings of coins.
Xin Er curled her lips, "Then why don't you just buy a thousand strings of rice from Land B? Can your three hundred strings of coins raise the price of rice from Land A? You don't need to raise the price, it's already higher. "
"Yes, one thousand strings of cash to buy rice in the second district. Actually, I was confused just now and blurted it out. I will buy one thousand strings of cash to buy rice in the second district." The man quickly corrected. He was indeed confused just now and thought that he had answered correctly this time.
Xin Er slapped her forehead with her hand and shook her head, "I wanted to help you once, but who knew that you are only suitable for this kind of small business. Land A is dry, and there is no food or grass. Why don't you farm cows? Why do you have to buy rice? According to the previous climate of Land A, there will definitely be a lot of cows.
The jujubes in Land B are not sweet anymore. Can't you buy jujube nectar? Then you can buy the jujubes and make them into candied jujubes. Why do you have to keep your eyes on that little bit of rice? You can continue with that kind of thinking. "
The person was stunned. Didn't they say that he would buy rice and jujubes? Why did he suddenly buy cows and nectar? This change was too fast.
The person was about to say that it was unreasonable. The things given and the questions and answers were unreasonable. Suddenly, he felt that this question sounded familiar. He asked in confusion, "Where did this question come from?"
There are many answers, but this one is the most reasonable. There is another answer that can also be passed, and that is to use your little money to hire people. First, you sign a contract, and then you go to the two rivers and mountains to help others transport things. The money you earn is also more than you buy rice. But this answer is limited. Do you have to buy and sell in Land A and Land B?
Your development is too slow. A few days ago, I used a little money and earned a few dozen strings of coins in a month. After another month, I earned more than two hundred strings of coins. Now that I have invested that money in other businesses, I estimate that when I go back, I will have a few thousand strings of coins. How can you join like this? Do you know how fast the Zhang family makes money? Even if I give you a chance, you can't grasp it. "
At this time, Xin Er stopped pretending to be mature. She felt very uncomfortable. She was talking to a businessman who could travel so far, but he didn't understand. It was such a simple question. It was better to quickly meet with Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, and Sister Liu 'er. If she asked such a question to the three of them, they would definitely be able to answer it easily.
Xin Er stopped pretending to be mature, but this person suddenly became serious, especially when he heard that this was a question for the high-level players of the game. After thinking about what Xin Er said, he finally realized that the girl in front of him was actually a top-level player. No wonder she was so arrogant. It was said that those top-level players could earn money even in real life. After reaching the top-level in the game, they would basically leave the game. Just like a business plan, they would seek benefits and collisions in the plan.
The old man, who was standing at the side, heard everything. He also didn't expect that the matter between A and B would end up like this. No one would have thought that this was just a simple question. In that case, his granddaughter must have passed the exam easily. Other than the question, it also depended on the number of wins and losses and the amount of money in the game.
When the old man thought of this, a gratified smile appeared on his face. He also felt a little proud. This was his granddaughter. She didn't embarrass the Minister of Revenue. At the same time, he felt even more grateful to the Zhang family. Without the Zhang family's game, without Xiao Bao and Cuckoo chatting with his granddaughter in the past, there definitely wouldn't be the current Xin Er.
This person who came to speculate felt very uncomfortable. He didn't expect that after working so hard for so many years and earning a thousand strings of coins, this girl could earn dozens of strings of coins in a month and 200 strings of coins in a month.
He didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter at all. He acknowledged the methods of those top-level players. None of those who rushed to the top were poor people in real life.
"Xin Er, in this world, not everyone can find opportunities." The old man saw that this person's expression was ugly and said to his granddaughter.
Xin 'er understood as soon as she heard this. She had struck a blow to others and could easily make them lose confidence. She stuck out her tongue and said, "How about this? Don't be in a hurry to buy things. Just play the game with us here. When you can clearly distinguish between the game and reality, then we'll see, okay?"
"Okay, okay. I'm actually just a beginner. Most of the time, playing dice depends on luck." This person understood and said gratefully.
"Okay, then I'll play beginner with you. I haven't played for a long time. Actually, beginner doesn't just depend on luck. It also depends on calculation." Xin Er agreed.
This person felt very lucky. He didn't expect to meet such a kind-hearted girl. From this girl's words, he knew that people who could play with her were not simple people. The most important thing was that sentence, the Zhang family's money-making speed. Yes, if he wanted to cooperate with them like this, they would ignore him if he didn't have the ability.
Then he should stay here for a while. Otherwise, how much money could he make? He didn't have the ability, so he should learn and see how they usually did it. This was called "sharpening the axe does not delay the work of cutting wood". As long as he learned something well, it didn't matter if he delayed for half a year. When the time came, he would make more money than all the other times combined.
