The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 147 Win-win Cooperation
Wu Xiang persuaded Li Wenyou: "Young Master Li, didn't Li Er, the man in charge of the house, tell you how many pirates you may have encountered along the way? The Huang family can go to Japan without your cooperation. If you don't cooperate with the Huang family, I'm afraid You might not dare to go, do you?"

Li Wenyou blushed, and then calmed down.He already had a clear understanding of the course of this trip to Japan, and he knew that the signs of troubled times had already appeared, and the sea was even more turbulent, and there would be no peace in the future.

He knew that force was too important, and the reason why Baba came to Huangjiashan Island to wait for their Patriarch this time was because he wanted to lower his figure and discuss future cooperation with Huang's Patriarch.

Li Wenyou said: "Although you and I need Master Huang's cooperation, we can't ignore our own strengths! Buying goods to be shipped to Japan and selling Japanese products that Li Guozhu must bring back, without our commercial network, I'm afraid it can't be done, right? "

At this time Li Erhuan came in happily, and said: "Young Master, Master Huang is back, and will come here to see you soon."

Huang Sheng would rather come to this yard to receive guests than to take Wu Xiang and the others home. He did this from the very beginning, and the people who came to visit over time will get used to it. Anyway, this yard is well-built and has everything you need.

When the three of them met, of course they exchanged pleasantries, Huang Sheng said to Wu Xiang: "General Wu, I went to Japan to cut off dozens of real Japanese heads and it's useless to keep them. I just gave them to General Wu today."

"Ah? That's great, thank you, my lord. How about asking your lord to give those armors and weapons to me, too?"

"I will send the whole set if I know what I want to give away. General Wu doesn't need to take care of it. I haven't had time to thank the general for what happened on Huangjiawan Island last time!"

Wu Xiang was very kind, went to Laizhou Mansion to complete the land deed of Turtle Island and handed it over to Zhao Shimin without even asking for any money.He told Zhao Shimin that he also got this island out of face, and it was hard to say how much it was worth, so he couldn't accept the Huang's banknote.

In this era, there were indeed many islands that were unclaimed, even Taiwan, which was a descendant of Dayuan or Xiaoliuqiu. The Ming Dynasty had no administrative agencies there, and only made it clear that the Penghu Islands belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

"A few trivial things are not worth mentioning. The humble job has received such a big gift, and all the favors have been returned! Hahaha."

Wu Xiang was overjoyed. He was a real Japanese in his sixties. He didn't know how many warriors in the Denglai Navy could be promoted. He made a lot of money this time.

Li Wenyou still wanted Wu Xiang to be on his side, seeing him like this, he secretly groaned in his heart, he is an official in Liaodong, he should belong to the existence of wearing a pair of trousers, let Wu Xiang accompany him to negotiate today, he is already under the control of others.

He is also a wealthy businessman who can afford it. He took out a stack of bank notes and respectfully put them on the table and said to Huang Sheng: "Master Huang, we have a happy cooperation this year. This is the final payment of 100 taels that you deserve."

"Oh? It shouldn't be so fast to sell the goods, right? I can't make specialization!"

Huang Sheng knew that Li Wenyou had a purpose, so he smoothed over Wu Xiang and started playing bureaucratic with Mr. Li.

"My lord, you don't need to be polite. The Li family has a lot of connections. They are only tens of thousands of taels of recurring goods. If you divide them up, you will be fine. The student is here this time to talk about cooperation with you next year."

"You don't need to talk about it next year! I don't want to make some small money by making small troubles, so I just went to catch a few pirates and robbed them!"

Wu Xiang was drinking tea, and burst out laughing upon hearing this, Li Wenyou was already dripping with sweat.

He cursed in his heart: This civil servant is not particular!How come you look like a bandit, it's a disgrace to the gentleman!

Wu Xiang choked, and coughed for a long time before laughing: "If that's the case, grabbing a ticket is of course faster than doing business. When you go, you must bring the officials with you!"

Li Wenyou said depressedly: "My lord, robbing a pirate ship is all about luck. There is no safe way to do business. There are sea trade routes in Japan every year!"

"That's right. Robbery does not conflict with business. I can kill two birds with one stone. Well, I will continue to cooperate with Mr. Li next year..." Huang Sheng drew a long tail.

Li Wenyou immediately understood, and said: "Master Huang, the students know the importance, and they plan to go to the five No. [-] blessing boats next year. How about counting the whole one for the adults?"

This kid didn't dare to persist anymore, so he played his hole card all at once.

"Mr. Li is not sincere! Because of the joining of the Huang family, you can travel to Japan safely. Next year, add two No. [-] blessing boats and share half of them with the Huang family. You will get the benefit of more than one ship without paying. If you are too shrewd in business, you are a fool!"

Mr. Li has been in the business world for more than ten years, and he has talked about many big businesses, but he is not used to Huang Sheng's negotiating style, which is similar to that of a hooligan.

He said embarrassingly: "The student really wants to cooperate sincerely with the adults, but you will take the share of the two blessing ships. I am afraid that the student will not be able to explain to the partners behind!"

The Huang family's business outlets have not yet been rolled out, and they need to take the path of win-win cooperation, and they can't just offend all the bureaucratic capital when they first arrive. Being the opposite of this interest group will affect the development of the Huang family. Huang Sheng decided to take a step back.

Said: "Okay, I don't want to take all the newly added shares, let Mr. Li share some, so how about I give 7 taels of capital next year?"

Huang Sheng saw that Mr. Li was still in pain, and said: "I am partnering with you. There is no need for you to give up your shares. Instead, it will give you an extra 5 taels of profit. If you still can't agree, let's go give up."

Li Wenyou negotiated with his partners in Tongzhou about the price of the Huang family's partnership next year, which is to give the Huang family a double share of 4 taels this year, and the final bottom line is 5 taels.

Negotiations are too passive now, people don't need to do business at all, they can rely on force to make a fortune at sea, and if they don't look for the Huang family, they really can't find a reliable naval warship to escort them.

Li Wenyou said cruelly: "Okay, students listen to the adults, and they will do it like this next year."

He said to Wu Xiang again: "General Wu, I would like to ask you to accompany me back to explain to my partner. This time, it is indeed beyond the bottom line, and it is the limit for Mr. Li Guozhu, the agent of the Japanese country, to accept five shipments. It’s impossible to strike a balance with only our family’s goods!”

Wu Xiang is a very bad boy, he smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case, if other suppliers can't send the goods to Li Guozhu's private port, what should he do."

Li Wenyou was not a kind person either, so he immediately understood, and bewitched, "My lord, your ships are strong and powerful, and you can indeed wait on that route. It is said that merchant ships from Luzon and Dayue are also delivering goods to Li Guozhu's family."

None of them were good things, and Huang Sheng was no exception. He immediately asked Li Wenyou and Li Guozhu what other caravans they had privately cooperated with in Hong Kong.Unexpectedly, this kid who put safety first never dared to run across the sea himself, everything was just hearsay.

Huang Sheng simply called Li Er to inquire, and asked Li Er to go back and ask all the stewards who went to Japan before, and report back to himself the next time he went to sea.

Li Wenyou knew that Huang Sheng had the evil intention of killing people and stealing goods, but he hoped that this careless adult would succeed, and it would be best if he snatched up all the other suppliers of Li Guozhu!
He stated that he would go back and let Li Er specialize in collecting intelligence, trying to provide convenience for Mr. Huang to fight pirates, and the three of them immediately laughed sinisterly...
