Fight the Giants

  Chapter 186 Picking up Leaks

  Seeing that Yang Fu was waiting for her to make a decision, Huo Xi also weighed in his heart.

  I thought about it for a while: "The money we earn now is used to buy shops and warehouses in various cities to recruit staff. There is not much money left in the account now. To buy a boat, we have to train boatmen and sailors."

   "My brother-in-law and I can do the training of boatmen and sailors. It's not difficult to ask everyone from Taoyedu to help us take care of it for a while. We still have money in our account."

  Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong are both inclined to buy ships and form their own fleets. They have a different philosophy from Huo Xi's. They feel that if they have a body, they can control people better if they hold people in their hands.

   "With that money, I want to buy some land."

   "Buy land? We have three hectares of land in Jiangning and Liuhe, do you still want to buy it?"

   "The business will fail, but the land will always be there." The land can preserve its value and it is easy to realize it. Huo Xi likes to leave behind everything.

   "But the fields near the capital are too difficult to buy. The three hectares of land we bought were scattered, and it took several days to collect the rent."

   "I like to collect rent! My mother said a few days ago to take me to collect rent!"

  Huo Nian was originally lying on Yang Fu's back, but as soon as he heard them talk about rent collection, he immediately became energetic and stood up from Yang Fu's back.

  Huo Xi glared at him: "If you have energy, come down and take a walk, uncle is tired of carrying you."

   Pi Xiaozi lay back on his stomach again: "My feet hurt."

   "Then don't come out with us next time."

   "It's still out. I'll go back to sleep and I'll be fine tomorrow." She blinked at Huo Xi.

   Tch, the skin boy who owes a beating.

  Yang Fu laughed and turned him upside down: "It's okay, Nian'er's feet hurt, it's fine for uncle to carry it on his back."

   "Uncle is the best, I like uncle the most!"

  Huo Xi rolled his eyes.

After walking a few steps, Huo Xi talked about buying land again: "I want to buy a Zhuangzi. My parents have always wanted to build a big house in the countryside, with a few acres of land, to be content and self-sufficient. I want to be satisfied. their wish."

  Thinking about the difficulty of buying land near the capital, he said: "There are few people in the capital, so let's look for it nearby. Pingjiang, Jingkou, Jiahu and other places are all available. As long as you can reach the place by light boat for half a day or a day, you can consider it."

  Yang Fu also thought of his sister and brother-in-law's life, nodded: "Okay. Then I will let people pay attention."

   "Well, let people pay more attention to Nakata and Shimoda, I want to become Sangtian."

   "Sang Tian?" Yang Fu paused.

  Huo Xi nodded, she had wanted to buy Sang Tian for a long time.

  In the four years since Guangfengshui opened, among all the goods, the two most profitable ones are grain, rice and cloth business.

   Grains and rice, she can't compete with big companies. But she also has her own potential.

  In recent years, I have made friends with a group of boatmen, sold goods along the village, and went to the village to collect vegetables and various local products. The relationship with the farmers has been maintained very well. When the farmers harvested grain, they were willing to sell to her any surplus.

  Perhaps the poor are more willing to help the poor, and those of the same class are more willing to help the same class. Huo Xi and the others went to the village to collect grain and rice, and it was easier for them to gain the trust of farmers than other big companies.

  She doesn't care too much about small gains and losses, and she never picks the bones in the egg. Not only her, but also her staff have an extremely humble attitude towards farmers, and they are never as domineering as other big companies.

  It is relatively easy to harvest grains and rice in the countryside.

  But ordinary farmers don’t have much surplus grain, so it’s not as good as rich households with large farms. The door of the wealthy household is wide and Fengshui can't be knocked in for the time being. Huo Xi is currently only picking up the leaks.

  In addition to the grain and rice business, another profitable business is cloth.

  Like food, they are all scattered fabrics from the weavers in the countryside. It can't be compared with those shops with weaving workshops. It's just a leak.

  So if you don’t want the source of goods to be manipulated by others, you must have your own goods.

  When she has money, she wants to buy land, grow grain, and grow mulberry.

  She doesn't want to grow hemp, because there is no shortage of raw materials, and the profit is thin. The manpower and material resources spent are the same, of course, it is to do business with greater profit.

  But apart from cotton, linen, and more advanced fabrics, Guangfengshui still doesn't have the ability to compete with big companies.

   But if there is a mulberry field, she can plant mulberry trees and hire people to raise silkworms.

  If you have silk, you can use raw materials to exchange silk, silk, satin, silk, yarn, brocade, velvet and other high-grade fabrics, or you can start weaving and spinning to produce higher-grade fabrics if you have raw materials.

  In the past four years, she has been making arrangements, and all the money she earned has been used to open shops and buy warehouses. She wanted to buy fields, buy hundreds of hectares of land, and become a big landlord, and her wish of being a rice worm has only been realized in a small step.

  Huo Xi thought a lot along the way.

   "You discuss with shopkeeper Shen, put some money in the account, and buy five cargo ships first, and the bigger ones, at least four oars."

   "Four sculls?"

Huo Xi nodded: "Yes, at least it must be able to load more than 200 shi. Now the layout of our south is almost the same. Next, I want to go north from Huai'an, several big cities along the canal, Jining, Linqing, Cangzhou, all the way to Beiping must have our shops and warehouses."

  Yang Fu looked at her in surprise. Is the layout that big?

   All the way north, until the last stop of the canal?

  Huo Xi didn't pay attention to his expression, only thinking about the plan in his mind.

"Now the goods in the north are transported to Huai'an, Yangzhou, Jingkou and other wharves. What we buy are leftovers picked by others. If we have a shop in the north, as soon as the ship in the north docks at the wharf, we can cut it first and buy it. Order the other party's goods, and then arrange a ship to send them all the way to the south, and distribute the goods earlier than other companies, so as to take advantage of the rare goods, we can make a lot of money."

  The big firms can’t handle them for the time being, but the big firms are very strict in the selection of goods, and they don’t look down on the idle goods.

   Picking up leaks with a better vision than others, and making time difference, may not be able to kill a way.

   After hearing this, Yang Fu was a little excited: "Okay, I'll go and discuss with shopkeeper Shen about buying a boat."

  Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Huo Xi was quite helpless, and glanced at his back: "Nian'er is already asleep. This matter is not urgent. I will calculate the money in my hand at night, and then make plans."

  Yang Fu paused, shook his head and laughed, and forgot about his thoughts.

  The three went to the ferry.

  Huo Xi calculated all the way, now there is not much land in his hand, the capital is densely populated and the land is less, so he has to find land in other cities to buy. Without land, there is no way to grow food and mulberry.

   Have to borrow land. I have to ask my parents to ask how many people in the fisherman have land and can grow mulberry with the Huo family.

  The surplus of grain grown by the fishermen was sold to her. I wonder if anyone is willing to use some land to grow mulberry.

  Because there was still some distance from the ferry, Yang Fu and Huo Xi hired a carriage at a carriage dealer.

   Not long after, when we arrived at the ferry, Huo Nian woke up without anyone calling.

   When I woke up, I was served by my sister with blank eyes. Pi Xiaozi is a typical person who sleeps in the car and wakes up automatically when he gets off the car.

   "Sister..." He fell to the ground in a daze, and stretched out his arms to hug Huo Xi's waist.

  Huo Xi poked him on the forehead: "I won't take you with me next time."

   "I have to bring it." Pi Xiaozi dawdled on Huo Xi.

  Yang Fu looked at him and laughed: "Nian'er had a good night's sleep, so he has the energy to catch up with your father at night."

   Pi Xiaozi was clever: "I want to help my parents fish! My father said he would teach me how to fish!"

  The whole person became energetic all of a sudden, looking into the river, looking forward to the appearance of his own boat.

   Thank you for your support all the time. Catch up on a hot spot. I’m going to update it today. As for how much, it depends on the speed of your hands~
