Chapter 10 Opening of Nanri Island

Li Yi quickly nodded and said, "I don't dare to discuss it. If you have something to do, just order it!" As long as you can, you will try your best to do the orders of the head of the family!"

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled, "In this way, Yu will thank you, Manager Li!" In fact, this matter is not difficult to handle. Now Nanri Island is under my control. Manager Li also knows that in fact, Dalian Island is not an excellent place for business in the Fuzhou area. It is too close to the mouth of the Minjiang River and too close to Fuzhou City, which is always easy to attract the attention of the government.

You and I all know that Zhang Hu had set up a warehouse here on Nanri Island before, and the investment collectors came here to do business. Unfortunately, Zhang Hu is not good at management and only knows the deadly exploitation, which makes the merchants unprofitable here. They can only retreat from this and gather on Dalian Island.

Now that Zhang Hu has gone, Yu has entered the owner of Nanri Island. Naturally, he can no longer take Zhang Hu's old road. Yu intends to reopen Nanri Island and recruit merchants from all walks of life to set up warehouses here. In this way, our sea wolf department will provide protection for those who come here to do business, and provide water and food free of charge to the merchant ships. Supply!

Now this is just my idea. If you want to implement it, someone must come here first!

And you and I are old acquaintances, so I want to ask Manager Li to take the lead in coming here to set up a warehouse, so as to drive other merchants from south to north to stop here! I wonder if Manager Li is willing to come?"

Yu Xiaotian has actually seen the geographical advantages of Nanri Island. It is adjacent to the mainland in the west, guarding the Nanri Waterway, and the Taiwan Strait in the east. It echoes Taiwan Island, can be attacked, retreated and defended, and far away from Fuzhou, the core of Fujian, which is little influence by the official, but not too far from Fuzhou.

So in addition to his settled place, this is also a good place to do business.

At present, why did the Dutch repeatedly attack the coast of Guangdong and Fujian, and even fight with the Ming Dynasty? The purpose is just to obtain a place to stay on the coast of China and carry out trade with the Ming Dynasty. Nanri Island is not small in size and all kinds of conditions are very convenient.

If he doesn't take advantage of this now, won't he become a fool? This matter began to brew in his heart from the day he set foot on Nanri Island. In his busy schedule, he even took some time to walk around the island, survey the terrain of the island, and choose a place to open business warehouses for future merchants.

If Li Yi does not come to find him this time, he is also ready to take the initiative to find Li Yi. First, he will lead the Li family to Nanri Island to set up a business stack. Later, he will gradually recruit sea merchants from Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to come here to set up a business warehouse and run Nanri Island into a Daming, but it is independent of the Ming Dynasty. Business port.

If his plan is successful, then money will not be a problem for him in the future. By collecting protection fees, tolls, and collecting heads in Nanri Island, it will basically make him support thousands of horns.

So when he met Li Yi today, he mentioned it directly to Li Yi.

After listening to this, Li Yi's heart jumped a few times. In fact, he had already seen that Yu Xiaotian was a more intelligent person, but he did not expect that Yu Xiaotian had just taken Nanri Island and developed Nanri Island into a foreign business place. It can be seen that Yu Xiaotian is not only bold, but also engaged in In terms of money, he is not weak, and his brain is much stronger than his peers.

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Yi did not refuse. He said to Xiaotian and said, "This is actually a good thing. After all, Dalian Island is a small island with limited land and can't accommodate many commercial warehouses, and the waterways on both sides are narrow. It is too close to Fuqing County, but it is not comparable. The pattern on Nanri Island is big!

However, it is not easy to recruit merchants to come here. Although the local merchants had some intersection with the Shark Gang before, Zhang Hu never thought of these feelings. For the merchants who came here, many merchants had suffered his losses.

Nowadays, although the owner has taken over here, it is not easy for the businessman to come here. At least the owner has to make a few things clear in advance and come here to set up a business warehouse. What about this land? Whether the safety of the ships who come here to do business can be guaranteed, whether the people of your department will blackmail and harass us, and whether they come here to set up a business warehouse, how to pump water and so on. If there is no clear statement, I'm afraid that we businessmen dare not come easily!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "What Manager Li is worried about is exactly what I think. It's best for you to come this time. I'll just discuss this with you!"

It's easy to set up a commercial stack land here. I have considered it. There is no need to collect money. I will cut a piece of land on the island and provide it to the merchants who come here to set up a commercial stack for free trial!

There is no problem with the safety of ships coming to this business. According to Zhang Hu's old rules, he used to buy road money from merchants in Fuzhou. This rule remains unchanged, but in the future, any merchant ships that come here to do business or often pass through this place only need to pay 50 taels of silver per quarter to get it here. Unimpeded power in the area.

In addition to I can guarantee that we will no longer harass their merchant ships, I can also ensure that other colleagues will not harass them in this area. I can guarantee that as long as the ship pays on time, I will never go back on my word like Zhang Hu. If someone's ship happens in my territory, I Not only can I stand up for him and get back the goods, but if I can't find them back, I will also compensate them for the money!

As for your fear that my men will blackmail and harass you, you don't have to worry about this matter. My sea wolf is by no means comparable to the original shark gang. I will restrain my subordinates and be kind to those who come to this business. If anyone dares to secretly harm you, just need to tell me that the people in the execution hall will stand up for you. As long as you come here to follow my rules, you will never be wronged here!

As for pumping water, I also want to discuss with you whether it is appropriate for us to pump water according to the value of the goods or to pump water according to the ship. You are an old connomy in this regard. I want to hear what you mean!

Of course, it's fine for you, Shopkeeper Li. In the future, any of your Li family's boats passing by my territory will not be charged! If valuable goods pass by, I will also send a ship to escort your ship, which is also a little reward for Yu's help to Manager Li for such a long time!

As for pumping water, your Li family can be halved, as long as you don't let others know!"

Li Yi was immediately overjoyed after hearing this, nodded and thanked him repeatedly. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't think it's appropriate for the head of the land to say that he doesn't need money!"

The most taboo for us merchants is to get things in vain. If the big master sends them for nothing, it will make many people worried, and even if they come, once there is a stir, anyway, they will not spend money on this place, and they will not be distressed by abandoning it!

So if you want the people who come here to be together with the big head, you have to collect money, and the collection can't be too low. Let them know that it's not so easy to come here to do business, but if you want to come, you have to make up your mind to stay here for a long time. Otherwise, it's better not to invite them to come. Good for you!

In addition, I think we should also discuss the matter of pumping water from a long-term perspective. Now we are on the other side of Dalian Island. Although there are government people and Fuqing County secretly pumping water, the pumping water is not high. If the big master wants to invite us here, the pumping water cannot be too high. Otherwise, my colleagues will not be willing to Come here!

In addition, our business is very miscellaneous and has everything. If we pump water according to the goods, it will be quite troublesome, so I think it's better to pump water according to the boat first. In this way, it is easy to calculate, and it is not easy to cause any trouble!"

Yu Xiaotian touched the freshly trimmed beard on his chin, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes! What Manager Li said is that this land can't be given away for nothing. Otherwise, they can abandon it at any time!

But I think it's also debatable about pumping water. It's okay to pump water by boat, but it can't be too low! I can draw 22 to 50 taels of silver according to the size of the ship. Whether they want or not, this must be done! Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to support so many brothers!

Of course, you don't have to worry. I will take special care of your Li family and won't affect your business!"

Li Yi quickly asked, "Does the boss want to give them a majesty first?" ......”

"Not bad! Two years ago, rules have been formed on Dalian Island. Generally, we don't bother them, but now I have opened Nanri Island and invited them to come. If they don't come, then they will toast and not drink! Then you can't blame me for being rude to them! As long as Dalian Island is sealed, whether they are willing to come or not, naturally they have to say it!

The government has only opened Yuegang now, and I don't believe that they will move to Yuegang to do business! You should know how many people are staring outside the Moon Harbor, which should also be clear to them! So since I want to do this, I think it's much better to be soft and hard than to invite them! I don't know what Mr. Li's intention is. Yu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a cold light and looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi's heart was suddenly in his heart. He secretly said that Yu Xiaotian was really not an ordinary person. Since he thought of it, he had to do it. As for how to do it, he did anything!

Now Yu Xiaotian has made it clear that he wants to operate Nanri Island as a commercial port along the coast of Fuzhou, and the other side of Dalian Island has become his obstacle. Today, Yu Xiaotian's attitude has shown that as long as he makes up his mind, Dalian Island will not be peaceful in the future!

Li Yi saw this and only said, "This is also!" Now that the big head has made up his mind, this is the only way to do this! With one hand and one hand, they naturally know how to choose!

However, when I came here this time, I also heard something about the governor's government of Fujian. Recently, Lord Nan has just taken office. It is said that this time the Holy Lord sent Lord Nan to Fujian to sit in the town, mainly to let Lord Nan deal with those red-haired Fans with Lan!

I recently heard that after Nan Gong took office, he mainly focused on the red-haired people who occupied Penghu and was dispatching troops from all over Fujian to deal with the red-haired people in Zhangzhou! It seems that Lord Nan intends to completely expel the red-haired man this time!

Before I came, I also heard about you in the Fujian governor's office. Now the Fuzhou government office and the governor's office are more concerned about you. They are worried that you will make waves along the coast of Fuzhou after you recently destroyed Zhang Hu!

So it's better to restrain yourself in the head recently, otherwise once he gets angry with Lord Nan, he will definitely come back to trouble you after dealing with the red hair man!"
