- The rain outside the window kept falling, and Tianguan was chatting and laughing in the room.
In addition to Zhao Hao, Wang Bengu and Yang Bo, there was also a middle-aged man named Yang Sihe who was Yang Tianguan's nephew.
It was said that they happened to meet him because he had admired Zhao Hao for a long time, so he specially stayed to meet him.
"Anyway, Mr. Zhao will believe whatever others say."
Wang Bengu knew that his uncle and nephew, his boss, wanted to talk to Zhao Hao, so he chatted with him for a few words and then excused himself to leave.
After Wang Bengu left, Yang Bo stood up from behind the case, sat down next to Zhao Hao, patted his shoulder affectionately and said:
"I was a minister in the same court as your ancestor, and we had a close friendship. I didn't expect that I would be an official in the same court as his descendants. It's really a great fate."
"My grandfather often mentioned the extraordinary deeds of Tianguan." Zhao Hao also flattered with a smile.
In fact, Yang Bo was eight years younger than Zhao Liben, but he was a Jinshi in three subjects early, and he was appreciated by the boss at a young age, and he rose to prominence early. It's strange to have any friendship with an old man who was only in his thirties and won the Jinshi, and whose career was suppressed by the big boss for ten years.
But who makes someone a heavenly official? Just say yes.
"Oh, really?" Yang Bo laughed happily, and then smiled at his nephew beside him: "Sihe, don't you have something to ask Mr. Zhao? Why don't you say anything."
"Aren't you listening to my uncle and Mr. Zhao talking?" Yang Sihe had a neatly trimmed mustache and looked smart and capable. He took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Master Zhao's ability to turn stone into gold in the past six months really makes us Shanxi merchants feel ashamed. Who would have thought that we can make millions of taels by relying on humble coal?" wealth?"
"Haha" Zhao Hao's mind was running rapidly, and he extracted two key words from Yang Sihe's words, 'Shanxi merchants' and 'coal'.
Damn it, that¡¯s what happened. Mr. Zhao understood everything, but he still pretended not to understand and only answered modestly and politely.
"Sihe, ok, don't beat around the bush." ??Yang Bo couldn't stand it any longer and reminded his nephew: "Young Master Zhao is fooling around even the little pavilion boss. You'd better be more serious."
"It's uncle." Yang Sihe smiled awkwardly and said, "My nephew, I think it's too abrupt and I don't know how to speak."
Zhao Hao made the two men sing and laugh. "Okay, let's talk about when Shanxi Coal Industry was established?"
"Ah?" Yang Sihe said in surprise: "So Mr. Zhao already knows?"
"I didn't know anything before today. But I think that if Mr. Yang wanted to see me, he definitely wasn't trying to get me to join the salt merchant's business, right?" Zhao Hao said with a faint smile.
"Look, people can tell at a glance that you are still making noises." Yang Bo scolded his nephew, then took Zhao Hao's hand and said:
"My nephew, you also know that our Shanxi is a poor place. There are no crops growing on the ground, and there are these black coal lumps all over the ground. Seeing the prosperity of my nephew's Xishan Coal Industry, Sihe and other Shanxi businessmen know that , It turns out that I am holding a golden rice bowl and begging for food everywhere."
In order to boost the economic construction of his hometown, Yang Tianguan directly promoted Zhao Hao by one generation.
Zhao Haoxin said yes, and he would go to Liaodong later. On his face, he smiled kindly and said: "Shanxi coal is the best in the world, and Shanxi merchants are even more powerful. They can definitely start it!"
"Mr. Zhao really has confidence in us" Yang Sihe couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Mr. Zhao can¡¯t realize how sad and frustrated he is in that bitter smile
??~~
In fact, Shanxi merchants have been following him for a long time.
How powerful are Shanxi merchants in the capital? They were eyeing Coal Lotus Root as soon as it came out.
With their keen business vision, they realized that this product would have great potential, and they were ambitious and prepared to seize most of the coal market with their financial advantage!
Yang Si and others soon opened a coal lotus root farm in the capital. They recruited some skilled workers from the Lugouqiao coal yard and learned how to make coal lotus roots by making molds and get a share of the pie.
That thing is not difficult to imitate at all, and Shanxi merchants¡¯ coal lotus root soon came out. It looks exactly like the one at the Lugouqiao coal yard, but it is more choking when burned than the latter.
They found that even if they used anthracite coal to beat coal lotus root, they would produce more smoke and dust than the original one. The clever Shanxi merchants quickly realized that they must have a secret recipe.
It took Shanxi businessmen more than a month to discover the secret batching factory in the Marco Polo Bridge Coal Field. Then he spent a lot of money with coercion and inducement, and finally got out the slaked lime and its proportions from the workers.
They finally prepared coal lotus roots of similar quality.
The Shanxi merchants breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly prepared.??A wave of mass production. Unexpectedly, at this time, the price of coal increased again.
What¡¯s even more outrageous is that the price of coal lotus root from Lugouqiao Coal Field has been reduced by one-tenth in disguise.
As soon as it was squeezed outside, the profit of the coal lotus was much thinner.
Thinking of having to fight hand-to-hand with the eldest princess¡¯s coal yard, the Shanxi merchants suddenly thought about the coal lotus root in the spring, which was not so fragrant.
However, they were still reluctant to part with the huge market in the capital, especially when they saw that people were doing business all over Zhili, they almost made the Shanxi merchants next door greedy.
So several Shanxi business leaders gathered together, gritted their teeth and threw 100,000 taels of silver into Mentougou, acquiring more than 20 coal mines, and prepared to be self-sufficient and no longer be controlled by others.
Who knows that misfortunes never come singly? First, there was an "earth dragon turning around", and Shuntian Prefecture banned coal mining in Xishan. After finally waiting for the ban to be lifted, there was a loud bang in the sky, and Xishan Coal Mining made its debut again.
The drainage king whirred, and the abandoned coal kiln turned waste into treasure!
¡° Moreover, Xishan Coal Industry has the right time, place and people, and all technologies from production to transportation are far ahead. The cost of every hundred kilograms of coal is almost half of theirs.
"When the three Jingxi mountain roads are built, it will completely block the throats of small households like them, and they can control their life and death at will, right?"
The Shanxi merchants were dissatisfied, so they encouraged the coal bosses to give the aggressive Xishan Coal Industry some eye drops, asking them to restrain themselves and leaving a way for everyone to survive.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the verbal threats entered the stage, Dongchang, Shuntian Prefecture, and the Ministry of Punishment came to warn him in turn.
They also took a group of coal bosses from Zhaitang to Beijing and stayed in prison for a few days. They were asked to write a letter of guarantee and paid a deposit before they were released.
??????????????????????????????????????????? This is ridiculous, let others play with it, you can play with it yourself!
The merchants from Shanxi were resigned to being inferior, felt inferior, retreated, and paid their respects. I completely gave up the idea of ??competing for food with Mr. Zhao in the capital
Although Mr. Zhao did not know that there was an opponent from the beginning to the end, it did not prevent Shanxi merchants from paying him high respect.
Of course, the Shanxi merchants were able to surrender so calmly because instead of losing money, they made a lot of money following Zhao Hao!
The so-called opponent is the person who knows you best. Shanxi merchants were the first to realize how valuable Xishan Company's shares were.
Although they did not catch up with the original stocks, they came back with a full load at Diaoyutai's first round of IPO.
Most of the buyers with the highest bids and the largest subscription shares are Shanxi merchants.
Among them, Yang Sihe bought a thousand shares! Now there is a surplus of more than 200,000 taels.
¡°And the coal mine they bought for 100,000 taels, because Zhao Hao opened up all mining technologies, the mining life was at least doubled, so this gross profit is estimated to be 100,000 taels.
Even in the coal lotus root business, which they thought was a failure, Shanxi merchants still made tens of thousands of taels of silver.
