Chapter 2182
Ma Zhengping felt that his time had come. He originally thought that this trip to Zhoushan to rescue soldiers would take a lot of trouble, but the progress was far smoother than expected.Although I still haven't been able to meet Shi Diwen, the highest consul in Zhoushan, the military has given a clear signal that it will provide military assistance to Huizhou salt merchants and support them to continue to fight against competitors in Yangzhou by necessary means .
As for the funds that Ma Zhengping prepared to use to open up the joints in advance, not even one-tenth of the funds have been used so far.Of course, he doesn't think it's because of how honest and selfless the Haihan officials are, but because Haihan needs to really open the door to the Yangzhou salt industry market, and because of various reasons, it is inconvenient to use force, so he can only use Huizhou salt merchants as pawns up.
At present, the struggle between the two factions of salt merchants in Yangzhou is becoming more and more fierce. Haihan chooses to intervene at this time, and the cooperation conditions that can be obtained from the Huizhou salt merchants will be more beneficial to him.Otherwise, when Yangzhou decides the winner, the Shanshan-Shanxi salt merchant is the only one, and even if Haihan can reach a cooperation with it, I am afraid that by then it will not be able to obtain more ideal conditions.
So Haihan agreed to his request so quickly, the key factor should not be the little favor fee given to Duan Tiancheng, but because the timing was just right, and the Haihan people thought it was in their best interest to do so.
Ma Zhengping has already received a notice from Duan Tiancheng, asking him to contact Yuan Tao, the chief treasurer of the Golden Shield escort Zhoushan Branch, and arrange for Golden Shield personnel to station in Yangzhou.As for the military training provided by the Zhoushan authorities to Huizhou salt merchants, Ma Zhengping was also required to discuss the specific implementation plan with Yuan Tao.
According to Ma Zhengping's understanding, this also means that the treasurer of Yuanda has taken over the follow-up cooperation matters, and he is also the main person he needs to deal with next.
Compared with officials with privileges, Ma Zhengping prefers to discuss cooperation with businessmen, because as long as it is profitable, businessmen can completely ignore factors such as positions, risks, grievances, etc., and only talk about benefits, not other things. Complex situations are simplified.However, officials have too many scruples, and they have to cover up even receiving benefits, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.
After meeting with Duan Tiancheng before, Ma Zhengping also deliberately went to understand the situation of the Golden Shield Escort, and only then did he understand the power of this special organization.Haihan people call it a bodyguard company, but in fact it is very different from the folk bodyguard industry of Ming Dynasty.
First of all, the operators behind the Golden Shield Escort are not civilians. Almost everyone knows that the backstage of Golden Shield is the Haihan government, and this so-called bodyguard company is actually a non-staff armed force, with the leaders and stewards inside. Almost all of them are veterans who have retired from the army.The weapons and equipment are even more amazing. The standard standard weapon is the flintlock gun, which is more powerful than the ordinary Ming army.
In addition, every time this Golden Shield protector encounters an enemy outside, he is extremely ruthless, and does not care about the identity of the opponent at all, so there are many tragic stories in the rivers and lakes about the short-sighted bandits who ran into the Golden Shield.
But these stories instead made Ma Zhengping look forward to joining the Golden Shield Escort even more, because this just proved the strength of this armed force, and if there were no accidents, it should be enough to deal with the Musketeers under the hands of Shanshan salt merchants.
Ma Zhengping didn't want Haihan to send a bunch of wine bags and rice bags to Yangzhou to perfuse himself. The more ruthless the role, the more proof of Haihan's sincerity for cooperation.As for whether he can get along well with these ruthless people, Ma Zhengping doesn't think there is any problem. After all, the Golden Shield escort is doing things with money, and he can afford the price. The official has also said hello, and I believe that Golden Shield will also give due cooperation. .
Ma Zhengping wrote the greeting card, prepared the gift list, and then sent his men to Jindun Escort to invite Yuan Tao to meet.
Ma Zhengping did all the courtesy, and Jin Dun quickly replied and agreed, so that night, a new visitor came to the courtyard that Ma Zhengping had rented.
Ma Zhengping was notified by his subordinates, and when he went to greet him at the gate of the courtyard, he happened to see Yuan Tao get off the carriage.Ma Zhengping has seen this kind of black box carriage several times in Zhoushan. It is said that only high-ranking Haihan officials of a certain level can enjoy it, and this Yuan Tao actually has this kind of treatment. Haihan government-run institutions.
After the two met, Ma Zhengping welcomed Yuan Tao into the hospital.He has already set up a banquet in the flower hall, and is waiting for the guests to serve as soon as they arrive.
Considering that he might discuss some confidential information with Yuan Tao today, he did not invite other guests to accompany him, but the banquet was unambiguous. The hired silk and bamboo troupe sat in the yard, playing some soothing music.Although in the environment of the inn, it was unavoidable that it seemed a bit nondescript, but it also showed Ma Zhengping's intentions.
Yuan Tao stayed in Zhoushan for a few years, and usually had a lot of entertainment. He was familiar with all the restaurants and restaurants on the island. After he sat down, he praised: "Boss Ma probably ordered this banquet from Dafenglou, right? From my point of view, his restaurant is probably the best seafood restaurant on the island. But as far as I know, the price of banquets in Dafenglou is quite high, and Boss Ma really spent it!"
Ma Zhengping said: "Treasurer Yuan is being polite. I also heard from friends on the island that this restaurant serves good banquets. Manager Yuan has such a high evaluation. It seems that the money is not in vain."
Compared with Ningbo across the sea, the consumption level on Zhoushan Island is indeed much higher. The price of such a banquet is almost twice that of Ningbo.Even if it is placed in Yangzhou City, where the consumption level is higher, the price of this table of wine and food is still very expensive.
At the moment Ma Zhengping was not in a hurry to talk about serious matters, so he greeted Yuan Tao for drinks and food, and casually chatted about some local anecdotes.Yuan Tao has traveled all over the world for many years, and he has come into contact with people from all walks of life and various professions. It can be said that he has a lot of knowledge, and he can chat with Ma Zhengping about any topic.
Ma Zhengping's original intention was also to test Yuan Tao's quality through chatting, to see if the other party was a martial artist or a businessman like himself, so that he could see what the person ordered and prescribe the right medicine in the subsequent contacts.However, Yuan Tao's strength was obviously stronger than he expected. After chatting for a while, Ma Zhengping couldn't help but feel that his knowledge was obviously a bit worse than the other party's.
However, Ma Zhengping became more and more interested in chatting. He wanted to see if he could find the other party's shortcomings in the field he was familiar with.
"I heard that Jindun also took on the task of transporting sea salt in Daming territory before. I wonder what the shopkeeper Yuan thinks about the current trend of the salt industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
The scope of Ma Zhengping's question is very wide, and there is no so-called standard answer.
Seeing that Ma Zhengping finally brought the topic to serious business, Yuan Tao put down his chopsticks and responded seriously: "Before my country began to supply sea salt to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, most of the local salt business was controlled by Yangzhou salt merchants." However, most of the official salt farms under the Ming Dynasty have limited production capacity, so even if they can provide some private salt to the salt merchants, the output and quality may not satisfy you, right?"
Ma Zhengping nodded slightly, agreeing to this.For salt merchants, the profits from selling private salt actually accounted for the majority of operating income, otherwise how could they have accumulated a huge family business by relying on the salt business.However, the production capacity of the official salt farm is limited, and indeed it cannot meet the demand of many salt merchants.And Haihan has a great advantage in this aspect. The production capacity of Xiangshan Salt Field alone has already squeezed out a lot of the market that originally belonged to Daming Official Salt, and there is a tendency to continue to expand.
As for the difference in quality, it’s fine if there is no comparison, but Ma Zhengping has seen with his own eyes that the sea salt produced by Haihan is indeed much finer than the official salt, and there are much fewer impurities in the salt. A more advanced embodiment of technology.He has also heard that Haihan produces sea salt through several large and small salt ponds, but he has never had the opportunity to conduct field investigations on how to do it and what are the unknown secrets.
The most terrible thing is that the production of Haihan refined salt is large and the price is even lower, which makes it difficult for the official salt produced by Daming Salt Farm to compete effectively with it.If it wasn't for the salt merchants who need to buy salt from the government to obtain the qualification to sell salt, and these salts must be in the official salt farm to get the goods, then the official salt farm may soon be squeezed out by Haihan Refined Salt Salt market.
Yuan Tao continued: "In the long run, only the refined salt provided by our country can meet the needs of salt merchants. You use the sea salt you bought from the official salt farm as a guarantee, and you buy it from us. Private salt is part of the profit, so that you can most effectively ensure that you can obtain stable high returns through operations."
Ma Zhengping said: "But in theory, such an approach is against the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If the government finds out, it may affect our qualifications to engage in salt business."
Yuan Tao said with a smile: "Your Yangzhou salt merchants have such great influence in the local area, how can you be afraid of the interference of the government? Besides, aren't those local officials also supported by you? After checking your private salt, isn't it just to follow the government? Can't the silver in your pocket go through?"
Hearing what he said, Ma Zhengping obviously knew the tricky tactics in the operation of the salt industry for a long time, and it seemed that it would not work to play sloppy in front of the other party.
Yuan Tao went on to say: "I heard that Boss Ma has already negotiated with Mr. Yang from the Commercial Office. The amount of refined salt underwritten by you will be quite large in the future. You can tell Boss Ma in advance that you are congratulating yourself on getting rich!"
The salt sales agreement negotiated with the Zhoushan Commercial Office is the prerequisite for Haihan to provide military aid to Huizhou salt merchants, so whether Ma Zhengping admits it or not, Huizhou salt merchants will become important distributors of Haihan salt in the future.
Ma Zhengping saw that the other party pointed it out directly, so he had no choice but to respond with a wry smile: "It's hard to say now whether you will get rich or not. I hope that with the good words of shopkeeper Yuan, this matter can be handled smoothly!"
If there is no rivalry, this kind of cooperation is naturally a great opportunity to make a fortune, but the situation in Yangzhou is not stable, and Ma Zhengping is not sure whether there will be new troubles in the future operation, so even if he knows that the business is very profitable, at the moment Also really not happy.
Now that we have already talked about the operation of the salt industry, Ma Zhengping simply introduced it to the main topic: "This time I will rely on Master Yuan to send people to Yangzhou. I don't know what needs Master Yuan and his brothers have? As long as it is something that I can do, I must Do your best."
Yuan Tao was waiting for this talk, and immediately responded: "Boss Ma is a straightforward person, so I will open the skylight and speak out. I, Golden Shield, dispatched armed guards, and always explained the price and treatment before taking action, so as to avoid execution. During the task, disputes occurred over these small matters, which affected the business.”
Ma Zhengping said: "This is what it should be, please ask Shopkeeper Yuan for a quotation!"
Yuan Tao said: "The guards of our Golden Shield are divided into three classes, A, B, and C. The pay for going out to perform missions is calculated on a daily basis. If the settlement is in silver, the daily pay is five taels, two taels, and one tael respectively. In addition, the employer needs to cover the expenses of board, lodging and transportation during the execution of the task, and if it needs to stay permanently, it must also provide a stable residence."
"If the guards are killed or injured on duty during the operation, the employer will also have to bear part of the funeral expenses. In addition, before the start of the mission, a deposit must be paid to us in case of emergencies. The settlement will be made after the mission is over. , More refunds and less compensation."
"During the mission, if the guards need to enter a combat state, the command authority will automatically belong to our side, and they can adjust their own tactics according to changes in the situation. In this state, the guards will not accept the command of the employer, but will still try their best to ensure the employer's Personal safety. In addition, the consumption of weapons, ammunition and other materials during the battle will all be included in the final settlement. Does Boss Ma understand?"
"Understand, understand." Ma Zhengping replied: "I have no objection to this, just follow the rules of Jindun."
It's not that Ma Zhengping has no objections, but he understands that he has no room for bargaining.Nowadays, they came to the door with money and begged for help from others. At this time, how can they be picky and picky?If when I raise an objection, the other party sees that I am not willing to cooperate, and immediately shoots up and breaks up, wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts.So he simply agreed. Anyway, the other party is an expert in this area. As a layman, it's better not to speak indiscriminately.
Yuan Tao was quite satisfied with Ma Zhengping's knowledge and interest, so he immediately asked, "How much manpower does Boss Ma think we need this time?"
Ma Zhengping said: "If it is convenient, of course, the more the better, even if there are 800 to [-] people. As for the board, lodging and transportation, I can bear all of them."
Ma Zhengping wished Haihan could send an army to Yangzhou in the name of Golden Shield, even if he had to pay a relatively large price for it, as long as he could wipe out his opponent in one fell swoop, he could earn back the money by dominating the salt business in the future .
Yuan Tao shook his head with a smile and said: "Boss Ma is joking, our purpose is to protect Boss Ma and other important people, not to fight in Yangzhou, so we will not send so many people."
