Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After reassuring the two old men, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to their usual busy and fulfilling lives.
The barbed wire fence that they had spent a lot of money on was put to good use. Countless sharks were attracted by the smell of blood and were then caught. Those that needed to be skinned were skinned, and those that needed to be eaten were eaten. Even the internal organs were not wasted.
Li Xun also returned with his bodyguard. He even discussed a business deal with the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company on the mountain. The people from the Yellow River Shipping Company had a good idea in the beginning, but after meeting Li Xun, everything changed.
They did not expect Li Xun to rent the good places to them, let alone buy them. He did not directly state how much the normal places cost. According to Li Xun, if no one came, he could not bear to let his business partner lose money.
In the end, they didn't need to pay for those seats directly. If a customer really bought something from them or made some other purchases, Li Xun would ask for half of the net profit.
Li Xun paid the price by introducing the places that they rented after the tour guide group was formed.
Li Xun used all the business knowledge that he had learned from people like Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, Liu'er, and Xin Er. He told the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company that as long as they could bring people from other places to Rainbow Falls in the future, they would get 10% of the net profit from each person.
Even if the money spent by the people they brought to Rainbow Falls was counted, 10% of the net profit was not a small amount.
Other than that, Li Xun also signed a contract with the twelve owners of the Yellow River Shipping Company. No matter what they were selling, all the prices had to be clearly stated. Tourists could buy if they saw the prices and were not allowed to bargain. Moreover, the prices had to be within a certain range. They could not be too low, but they could not be too high.
The introduction of every product or entertainment activity had to be made known to the tourists. It had to be written in whatever way it was written. It had to meet the standards. Otherwise, if they scammed them once, they wouldn't come again next time.
The detailed content was listed one by one, and it actually took up ten pages. Almost every detail was considered. At the very least, the people from the Yellow River Shipping Company could not find any loopholes.
The proud Li Xun really scared the people of the Yellow River Shipping Company. When did the people of the Imperial Family learn so many things? This was clearly something that merchants like them should do.
Li Xun, who had negotiated the deal, was in a state of excitement. Even if there were no tourists yet, even if this place belonged to Lingnan, he was still full of confidence, waiting for a large number of rich people to come and spend money.

The people from the Five Lakes Merchant Guild who went to look for fish had yet to return. The fish raised by the commoners were slowly growing. They dug a big hole, filled it with water, and threw the fish in. Then, they put in some duck dung and pig dung. That was it. No one fed them food. At most, they would put the leftover pig bones in a net and let the fish drink some oil. This was already a good life.
Zhang Xiaobao did not take them seriously at all. It was not a bad idea to let them slowly spend their time here. According to Zhang Xiaobao, these people had to spend money in Lu Zhou, and it would delay their work. Otherwise, if they formed a caravan, they would be able to make a lot of money these days.
What surprised Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan was that 33 ships came in the past few days. They were not big ships, just medium-sized ships. Such ships were not small, and they were taking a big risk.
After learning that these people came from the east of Jiangnan, both of them expressed their understanding. The merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang were indeed amazing. In order to make money, they dared to use medium-sized ships to form a caravan.
The goods carried by the 33 medium-sized ships were not enough to fill four big ships. The height, length, draft, and the width of the top deck of the ships were more than half of the big ships. The difference in size was not small at all.
Normally speaking, the cargo of fifteen medium-sized ships would be enough to fill up a large ship, but the other party could fill up four large ships with just three ships.
"Strong, really strong. This is what a real businessman is like. For the sake of profit, they are willing to abandon many things. Not to mention that the number of people rowing on each ship is reduced by half, they are actually eating fried noodles, and the amount of water they drink every day is controlled over and over again. They don't have an extra change of clothes, all for the sake of being able to carry more goods on board.
The most important thing is that they are here to pick up all kinds of goods, and not much of each kind. No wonder people in this kind of place can make a lot of money no matter what era it is. This is a spirit that can't be extinguished. Xiao Bao, do you want to cooperate with them? "
After understanding the situation of this caravan, Wang Juan sighed.
"We can't suppress such people. We don't have so much energy to waste on dealing with them. Sell them a few big ships or rent them. We don't have to pay them first. Let them save up for the next six months. Half a year later, we'll tell them the route to Luzon."
Zhang Xiaobao agreed. He held a coconut and drank it. This thing was not very sweet. If it was not cold, the taste was not much different from water. Thinking about it, if it was too sweet, it could not be injected into the human body as an injection.
The people of Hainan Island did not drink this water at all. They cooked with the meat of the coconut. Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan and their family drank this thing to replenish some trace elements.
Leizhou Prefecture also had some, but the output was a little lower. The two of them hadn't had the time to focus on producing those good things. Once the situation here stabilized, as long as there were rivers in the Great Tang, they would be able to produce all sorts of coconut products.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao drinking, Wang Juan also took a few sips. She said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Do you think that if carbon dioxide was added to this coconut juice, it would be good to make a drink?"
"I haven't drunk it before. When I have the ability in the future, I can try it. I think … the taste … should be different."
Zhang Xiaobao tried hard to imagine what would happen if the coconut juice was mixed with carbon dioxide. Compared to soda water, would it be sweeter? It would also be more acidic.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. In the future, if we are far away, we won't be able to drink coconut juice. We can't plant it in other places. I can't copy Yang Guifei and use the military station to deliver coconuts. Back to business, you are not cooperating with them just to make a fortune over there, right?"
Wang Juan sucked the last bit of water out of the coconut and stuffed the whole thing into Zhang Xiaobao's arms.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled mysteriously. "They won't only develop there. As long as we give them a chance, they will think of a way to find a better trade route. This way, we can relax. There is strength in numbers. It would be best if they could go to Malujia."
