Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 656, excited North Korean businessman
In a newly built restaurant in Seoul, North Korea.

This restaurant named Hanjiang Tower was built by a North Korean businessman after he went to Daming and experienced the Wangyue Tower in the capital of Daming. Tianjin Wanghai Tower was later built here in Seoul with huge sums of money.

Everything is based on Daming's Wanghai Building, built with reinforced concrete, and then equipped with glass windows, glass lamps, etc., at night, it is the brightest boy in the entire Seoul.

As night fell on this matter, luxury four-wheeled carriages imported from Daming arrived at the huge cement parking lot built at the gate of the Hanjiang Tower, and dignitaries in plain clothes walked into the building surrounded by crowds. Sell ​​gold cave.

It is not just as simple as a restaurant, but also has many other functions. Of course, gambling houses and brothels and Chu houses are absolutely indispensable.

The consumption inside is also extremely expensive, often costing tens or hundreds of taels of silver, which is simply not affordable for ordinary people.

In a large private room on the top floor of the Han River Tower, singing and dancing, fine wine, delicious food, beauties, and overlooking the beautiful scenery of Seoul at night, it can be described as a great enjoyment in life.

"My North Korea's Seoul is still far inferior to Daming's Tianjin~"

"Daming Tianjin is brightly lit at night, and the streets are like bright dragons. Compared with our Seoul, it looks very dim, and there is nothing to see."

Li Chengzong looked down at Seoul, looking very disappointed.

The location of the Hanjiang Tower is very good. It was built next to the Hanjiang River. It is only at night in Seoul. Just like most cities on the earth in this era, it is completely dark. Only the palace and other places can still see some lights.

"Of course Seoul can't compare with Daming's Tianjin. I heard that Daming's Tianjin is very prosperous. Its population alone has six million, and there are many factories. There are hundreds or thousands of ships in the port of Tianjin alone."

Lin Haoxi next to him also nodded and said.

He has never been to Daming, but he has heard many legends about Daming, and he has also been in contact with businessmen in Daming, and he has heard them brag about the prosperity of Tianjin in Daming.

"You should go to Daming in person when you have time. North Korea is now a vassal state of Ming. We can travel freely between Daming, Wa, and Luzon. This is a great opportunity for us North Korean businessmen."

Li Chengzong nodded, sat down slowly and said.

"Li Chengzong, you called us big guys here this time, don't you just want us to go to Daming?"

Lin Haoxi also came down, and asked Daming's daughter Hong, who was imported from Daming.

"At the end of last year, North Korea signed an agreement and officially became a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. Everyone must know about this, right?"

Li Chengzong looked at these people present and waved his hands. The companions around everyone left very tactfully, knowing that they had something important to discuss.

"I know, who doesn't know~"

"But what's the effect?"

"Haven't we always been a vassal state of Ming Dynasty?"

Someone nodded and said.

"The impact can be huge~"

"As soon as the vassal state agreement is signed, from now on, the merchants of Ming Dynasty can freely travel to and from North Korea. We are all merchants. If the merchants of Ming Dynasty come to compete with us, it means that our business will be very difficult in the future. Done."

"Not to mention anything else, just talking about this piece of cloth. The weaving factories here in Daming use new looms and spinning machines, and the efficiency is very high. The price of a piece of the cheapest cloth here in Daming is now They have been reduced to less than one hundred cash, and when they are sold to North Korea, even if they are sold for two hundred cash, they still make a lot of money."

"But what about us?"

"The worst cloth in North Korea is now about 200 Wen a piece, but the quality and pattern are not comparable to the cloth of Daming."

"So since last year, our local cloth in North Korea has been unable to sell."

Li Chengzong looked at the crowd, everyone was in business, and the cloth business was always a big business, and he was in the cloth business, so his business was greatly affected.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. The large-scale entry of Ming businessmen into North Korea had indeed had a huge impact on their business.

Goods from Ming Dynasty quickly impacted North Korea's own local products. Smart businessmen turned to cooperate with Ming merchants and became agents of Ming merchants in North Korea.

You can make a lot of money by reselling Daming's products.

As for the merchants who still insist on North Korea's own products, their business is weakening day by day, and even has been in decline.

Especially this year, after North Korea signed an agreement to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, merchants from the Ming Dynasty flocked to North Korea. Relying on the developed ocean transportation capacity, they almost moved all kinds of goods from Ming Dynasty to North Korea.

From cloth, salt, sugar to cement, steel bars, and glass products, there are even boatloads of sea fish shipped to North Korea for sale.

The things from Daming are very cheap, and the quality seems to be very good, which quickly hit the market of North Korean merchants.

But the businessmen of North Korea have nothing to do about it, because according to the agreement, people of Ming Dynasty can do business, trade, and travel freely in North Korea. Not only can North Korea not obstruct it, but even protect the safety of Ming people. .

"There is also table salt. The table salt produced by North Korea has no market at all."

"Now it has been completely taken up by the salt from the Daming Changlu Salt Field~"

"In addition, in terms of ironware, the ironware and farm tools produced by Daming Miyun Iron Factory are also sold well throughout North Korea. We have no way to compete with them."

"Everyone, don't you feel that the end is coming?"

Li Chengzong's voice seemed rather cold.

The large-scale influx of Ming merchants and the continuous impact of Ming products on North Korea’s original market have had a huge impact on North Korea. North Korean merchants have the deepest experience. As for the common people in North Korea, they think that Ming’s products are not only cheap, but also of good quality. , is very good.

"Li Chengzong, what do you think we should do?"

Lin Haoxi pondered for a moment, thought for a while and asked.

"How to do?"

"Of course it is embracing the new era."

Li Chengzong said with a smile.

"Businessmen from Ming Dynasty can come to North Korea, businessmen from North Korea can also go to Ming Dynasty, goods from Ming Dynasty can enter North Korea, and goods from North Korea can also go to Ming Dynasty."

"Da Ming is very kind to our North Korean country, giving us equal treatment, and we can also freely go to Daming to do business."

"Da Ming is different from North Korea~"

"Daming has a vast land and abundant resources. It extends to the grasslands in the north, the Western Regions in the west, and Nanyang in the south. In the east, they have expanded to the Golden Continent. The population of Daming is dozens or hundreds of times that of North Korea."

"Such a huge market and population, such a vast territory, will allow us to roam freely in the future."

"This is not just a crisis for us, but also an opportunity for us North Korean businessmen."

The more Li Chengzong talked, the more excited he became, and the whole person seemed very excited.

"In the past, our most successful businessman in North Korea was only limited to North Korea, but from this year onwards, we don't need to be limited to North Korea."

"We in North Korea can follow in the footsteps of Ming Dynasty. Wherever Ming Dynasty expands, we can follow. As big as Ming's territory is, our territory will be as big as it is. As big as Ming's population is, our market will be as big as it is."

"We are no longer just Koreans, we are also Daming people now, and our eyes should not be limited to North Korea, a tiny place, but should be like the businessmen of Ming Dynasty, looking at the whole world."

"We can also be like the merchants in Ming Dynasty, buy goods here in Tianjin and sell them in Korea and Japan, and then we can also go to Nanyang to bring back Nanyang pearls, corals, jade, agate, agarwood, and ivory. Back and forth, easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"We can also go to the Nanyang Province of the Ming Dynasty like the people of Ming Dynasty, and build plantations there to grow rice and sugar cane. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty also rewarded us with two Nanyang islands in North Korea."

"I've heard the news that the higher-ups will soon send people to Nanyang to take over the two islands. In the future, government offices and plantations will be established on them."

"The merchants of Ming Dynasty have been going west, to the South Asian subcontinent, to the Middle East, and they have been heading east to the Golden Continent. I heard that the Golden Continent is full of gold."

"In the past, we didn't even have the opportunity to make a fortune overseas, but now it's different. As long as we unite and stick together, we will have the same opportunities as the merchants of Ming Dynasty."

"We can also organize fleets to go to the Golden Continent, and we can also go to various places in Southeast Asia to do business. This is an era of great wealth explosion, and it is an unprecedented opportunity."

Li Chengzong was very excited when he thought of this.

Hearing Li Chengzong's words, everyone couldn't help opening their mouths.

This Li Chengzong is too crazy.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what he said was quite right.

North Korea is no longer just North Korea, it is also North Korea, a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

If it has been limited to North Korea's own domestic market, it is estimated that it will soon be hit by the merchants of Ming Dynasty.

But North Korea joined the vassal state camp of Ming Dynasty, and the huge market of Ming Dynasty was opened to them, and their opportunity came again.

They have all been in contact with the businessman of Ming Dynasty, and know how rich the businessman of Ming Dynasty is.

Especially the commercial firms in Tianjin, if any commercial firm comes out, it is very rich, and there must be several large ships under their hands, constantly traveling between Daming, North Korea, Japan and Nanyang.

In these places, even the simplest triangular trade can make a lot of money, which is far beyond what North Korean businessmen like them can compare.

　Well, that’s how the market for sticks was opened~
