Chapter 435 The Way of Maritime Merchant
"What do you mean?"

Xiao Mo looked at Zheng Kuan and Qian Jiwen, then smiled.

"The meaning is very simple, it depends on what you do next!"

What to do next?
Qian Jiwen and Zheng Kuan and his son looked at each other, then Qian Jiwen stood up and said, "Master Xiao, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is willing to transfer all the shares of the Shenxian Chamber of Commerce, and promises that we will never fight against the Shenxian Chamber of Commerce again." Attention!"

After all, Qian Jiwen said to Zhou Kui who was next to him: "Thank you, butler, help me prepare a pen and paper!"

Hearing Qian Jiwen call him his butler, Zhou Kui naturally felt a little bit relieved.

Although it was useful, Zhou Kui still looked at Xiao Mo. If Xiao Mo didn't speak, he would not move.

Xiao Mo said: "Brother Zhou, prepare paper and pen!"

Only then did Zhou Kui turn around.

"Just finish writing the share transfer. There is no need for any guarantees. I don't believe it, but after this time, if you still dare to make any crooked ideas, I don't care to play with you again..."

Xiao Mo regained his calm expression, and his tone of voice also became calm.

Needless to say, Xiao Moduo, Zheng Kuan also called Zhou Kui, and said: "Steward Zhou, please prepare an extra pen and paper..."

Zhou Kui heard it clearly. After a while, he and the little girl Lin Jie each took a piece of paper and pen and a plate of ink that had been researched on a wooden plate, and placed them beside Qian Jiwen and Zheng Kuan respectively.

Zheng Kuan didn't move, but looked at Zheng Biyuan and gave him a look.

Zheng Biyuan sighed, and together with Qian Jiwen, wrote down the transfer of shares.

After finishing writing, the two shareholding documents are in hand, and now all the shares of the Shen County Chamber of Commerce are in Xiao Mo's hands!

Xiao Mo handed over the share certificates to Lin Yiye, and then said to him: "Shenxian County Chamber of Commerce is still in charge of the country gentry and my Taishan family, but this time, you, the young mansion, will be the chairman. Control of the chamber of commerce!"

Lin Yiye nodded when he heard the words, but did not make a sound.

Xiao Mo turned his head to Qian Jiwen again, and said to him: "Earlier, the Zhejiang merchants have promised to continue to operate the minerals they got before. If you hand over the shares, then the minerals obtained from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce's auction can also be returned to you." You, but... as a punishment, I will take back one-third of the minerals of your Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, that is, three large iron mines!"

Qian Jiwen said in embarrassment: "My lord... If this is the case, I won't be able to explain to the chamber of commerce..."

He was right. After spending so much manpower and material resources this time, not only did he not get the Shen County Chamber of Commerce, but he also lost one-third of the minerals. It's no wonder that the spit is drowned!
Xiao Mo said coldly: "If I knew today, why bother?"

Qian Jiwen sighed, and said, "Qian Jiwen, I really knew I was wrong!"

"Okay!" Xiao Mo said: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, then I won't embarrass you anymore. I still want to take back the three iron mines, so how about my reward for lifting the sea ban for you Zhejiang merchants?"

"Zhejiang has also lifted the sea ban?"

Obviously Qian Jiwen didn't know about it yet, now hearing Xiao Mo say this, Qian Jiwen couldn't help but look happy!
The sea ban... This damn sea ban has finally been lifted?
Both Zhejiang and Fujian are coastal areas. As the saying goes, you rely on the mountains to rely on the mountains to rely on the water. Since the imperial court banned the sea, the business of Zhejiang merchants has also been affected to a certain extent.

Of course, Zhejiang is much richer than Fujian, so the impact of the sea ban on Zhejiang is not as great as Fujian.

But... If the sea ban is really lifted, then compared to the profits that can go to sea, these three iron mines are really nothing!
Seeing this, you may ask, what profit can you make by going to sea in ancient times?
Is it fishing in the sea?
No kidding, those who fish in the sea are fishermen, not businessmen.

But... When a businessman goes to sea, the profits are often huge!
Of course... the risk is also great.

The risk is of course caused by storms or waves at sea, or huge fish in the sea.

Profits are obtained by arrogance, or to put it bluntly, by force.

Every time merchants go to sea, they will usually be accompanied by a few or a dozen large ships. They will recruit many strong men to serve as mercenaries, and then sail in the sea with the wind. When they arrive at a strange place, they will reveal With their greedy faces, they burned and killed everything they went, and then looted everything.

Of course, sometimes when the local tribes are strong, these merchants will naturally put away their weapons, and then turn into civilized visitors, barter with them, and trade legally!

But it is a legitimate transaction, these merchants are also very profitable, because what they usually pay may be some common daily necessities such as ordinary porcelain, silk, tea, etc., but these things are very popular in those barren places .

Their eyes glowed when they saw porcelain, and they were ecstatic when they saw silk, and they even offered gold, agate, and ruby ​​​​in exchange for it!
Because no matter whether it is gold or agate gemstones, in their eyes, these things can neither be eaten nor used, and they are useless at all, just like garbage!
If you can exchange these frivolous things for many utensils that can be used to hold meals and food, and some silk that can be woven into beautiful clothes, why not do it?
This is why the profits of sea merchants who go to sea are so attractive.

Because we all know that going to sea is very dangerous. In addition to irregular storms, sharks and huge whales on the bottom of the sea, luck is also very important.

For example, you have been wandering at sea for a month or more, but you can’t find land or islands with people. When the food on your boat can no longer support you, you must return to Anchao. In this case, this trip to sea will be an empty trip. No, all labor and food losses will be borne by yourself!

But just like this, those businessmen still have a very strong interest in going to sea, just because the profits are really immeasurable!
Therefore, Qian Jiwen was overjoyed when he heard the news that Zhejiang had also lifted the sea ban.

There is no need to doubt whether Xiao Mo's news is reliable or not, because this is the news released by Xiao Mo. He said that the imperial court lifted the sea ban. Would Qian Jiwen doubt it now?

The reason why Qian Jiwen asked that question just now is because he was not sure if he had misheard Xiao Mo's words, so he asked!After asking about it, Qian Jiwen regretted it.

What happened to me, how could I make such a mistake?
Isn't this questioning Xiao Mo's words in front of everyone?
