Wan Jiashu was very good at speaking and carefully introduced the situation of Hong Wan and his fleet, saying that he was very welcome to Mu Hong, Qi Younian and Ji family who also invested in the fleet.
The matter of investing was settled immediately.
As for how much each company invests, it still needs to continue to discuss.
Mu Hong was impatient, so he discussed with Shen, and the family took out 5,000 taels of silver to invest in the stock. Qi Younian didn't have much spare money, but when he saw Mu Hong paying 5,000, he didn't know what he had thought of, so he also took 5,000 taels of silver the next day.
Ji Xiaotang was slightly surprised. Since she knew that the Hong family fleet had a lot of profits in trade going overseas, she had the idea of bringing everyone together. Qi Younian had no money for money, and she knew that she was planning to lend money to Qi Younian in private.
Qi Younian has ambitions and talent, but if you want to be promoted step by step, it is not enough. Qi Younian also needs opportunities and financial support.
Ji Xiaotang plans to take advantage of her rebirth as much as possible to provide Qi Younian with opportunities. As for financial support, she also considered it.
"Ayou, where did you raise the money?" On the day Qi Younian came, Ji Xiaotang found an opportunity and asked Qi Younian quietly.
"Oh..." Qi Younian hesitated for a moment.
Everyone knows that his family is in an ordinary state. If he told Ji Xiaotang at this time, he happened to be afraid that he would lack money, so he beat someone and sent him some body to him, but he was afraid that Ji Xiaotang would not believe it.
If Ji Xiaotang wants to believe it, he has to tell his family background.
Qi Younian did not intend to conceal his family background from Ji Xiaotang, but it is not time to say it now.
"I have my own way..." Qi Younian had no choice but to say to Ji Xiaotang, meaning that Ji Xiaotang doesn't have to worry about it.
"What are you going to do? Do you have any way to find someone to lend it? It's better to find me than to find someone else." Ji Xiaotang said.
Qi Younian smiled and said that he didn't borrow it, but he refused to say how he got the money.
Ji Xiaotang was surprised, but looking at Qi Younian's face, thinking about it again, he stopped asking. Ji Xiaotang believed that there was nothing wrong with Qi Younian's origin of the silver.
As for Qi Younian's refusal to borrow money from her, it seems that she is young and a girl's family.
"How much money Xiaotang plans to invest in?" Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang.
"I plan to pay more money." Ji Xiaotang said, "But, my mother and my father agree."
If it was just a small fight, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San could make the decision. But Ji Xiaotang obviously was not a small fight.
Master Ji San once asked Ji Xiaotang this question.∮,
"100,000 taels, at least 100,000 taels." This was the answer given by Ji Xiaotang at that time.
Master Ji San also wanted to pay more money, but the amount Ji Xiaotang said still surprised him.
"So much money!" This amount is invested in the fleet of Hong Wanliang, and I am afraid that it will be the largest shareholder.
And this is exactly Ji Xiaotang's plan.
Not only did she want the fleet to bring her a steady stream of wealth, she also wanted to have a say in the fleet.
"What, my uncle thinks it's too risky? It's not worth it?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.
Speaking of adventure, no one in the Ji family is more adventurous than Master Ji San.
"No." Master Ji San laughed, and it was almost useless to think about it. Master Ji San planned to support Ji Xiaotang's decision. "I just didn't expect that Xiaotang, this is a big deal."
Although the Ji family has a lot of wealth, it has spent a lot in the past two years.
One hundred thousand taels, even for the Ji family, is not a small number that can be easily decided.
"Will your father agree?" Master Ji San was worried about this.
"Let's try to convince my father." Ji Xiaotang said, and while discussing to write a letter to Mr. Ji Er.
In the letter, Ji Xiaotang also explained everything about Wanjia Village to Mr. Ji Er, and finally mentioned the fact that he wanted to invest in the fleet.
Mr. Ji Er's reply arrived soon.
What surprised Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San was that Master Ji Er agreed to their investment in the letter. The investment was certain, but the amount involved in the investment was important, and Master Ji Er said that it was of great importance and had to discuss it with Master Ji.
The Ji family is not his own. For such a big thing, all three brothers will do it.
In the letter, Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San that he had already called someone to send the letter to Master Ji, and there was a reply soon.
Finally, Master Ji Er specially instructed the two of them, "Don't show their wealth." The Ji family planned to invest in 100,000 taels of silver, so there was no need to make any statement.
Even if Master Ji Er did not specifically instruct this matter, Ji Xiaotang knew how powerful it was, so he would not make a big fuss about it.
"Will your uncle agree?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.
"This is not accurate." Master Ji San frowned slightly. He was much younger than both brothers, and he was even more unfamiliar with Master Ji than Master Ji Er.
Master Ji San has a very thin impression of Master Ji, and not all of them are good impressions.
"Your uncle's place...oh..." Master Ji San was vague, as if he was hiding something from Ji Xiaotang.¢£,
"Uncle, I have always been wondering. Uncle... Why? I always feel that my uncle's family is very distant from us." Ji Xiaotang took the opportunity to ask Master Ji San.
"I can't explain this clearly. I didn't have you at that time, and I was still young." Master Ji San said, obviously unwilling to talk in depth on this topic, or he really didn't know it. "What if he cares about it, it's all we don't worry about."
Master Ji San had already told Wan Jiashu that the Ji family would pay a considerable sum of money, but the specific amount had not been decided yet. Wan Jiashu had already received the investment from the Mu family and Qi Younian, and he was naturally happy to hear Master Ji San say this.
On that day, Ji Xiaotang came to find Master Ji San again, and it happened that Wan Jiashu was there too.
"Mr. Wan, have you ever thought about opening a shop in the prefecture? I mean, a foreign goods shop." Ji Xiaotang was about to find Wan Jiashu, and said immediately.
Wan Jiashu's eyes lit up suddenly.
"What does the third girl mean?"
The things brought back by the fleet from overseas are usually resold to merchants at the dock, and merchants are then transported to various places to buy and sell, making profits from it. Ji Xiaotang saw the gift list sent by Wan Jiashu that day. She believed that many things brought back by the fleet from overseas should also be very popular in Ren'an Mansion.
Although Wanjia Village is doing overseas trade, Ren'an's foreign goods market is still blank.
When Ji Xiaotang saw Wan Jiashu's eyes lit up, he knew that he should have thought of this.
Compared to selling it to a dealer, it is more worry-free and quicker. Although it is a bit troublesome to run a shop yourself, it is not small profitable. Moreover, if you open more shops and don’t need to rely on dealers, it will be a broader prospect.
Wan Jiashu is already very talented in doing business, and his agent Xiaotang is even more familiar with it.
"I felt a little distracted when I came to the city this time, but we are countrymen..." Wan Jiashu said with a smile.
The matter of opening a foreign goods shop was decided like this.
The first foreign goods shop was naturally opened in the prefecture. Ji Xiaotang asked Wan Jiashu to find the shop and arranged a colleague of the Mu Mansion to accompany him.
"You only need to find a suitable shop, don't worry about the rest of the matter." Ji Xiaotang told Wan Jiashu.
After hitting Wan Jiashu here, Ji Xiaotang came to discuss with Shen and Zhang again.
"This is different from the fleet's investment. It should not cost much money, and the profits will be quick. I thought that if my grandmother and aunt were interested, we would raise some money and invest in this shop. We can earn a few more money every month in the future." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
Both Shen and Zhang laughed.
Although Mu Hong rejected Wan Jiashu's generous gift, Wan Jiashu brought many overseas goods. When Shen and Zhang met, they liked each other very much and had already planned to buy them with Wan Jiashu in private.
The three of them discussed for a while and then nodded.
"I don't have many private houses, I only have two hundred taels of scattered houses," said Shen.
Zhang's private house was not as large as Shen's, and he couldn't go past his mother-in-law, so he said he wanted to make up a hundred taels.
"I'll pay one hundred taels," Ji Xiaotang said, and her private house was naturally more than one hundred taels. "In addition, there is my mother, my sister, by the way, Xiao Changsheng, who is also one hundred in one person."
Ji Xiaotang paid 400 taels by himself, and the mother and the other ones got together, and it was 700 taels of silver.
When Master Ji San found out, he took his private house and gave it to Ji Xiaotang. He collected a total of 1,000 taels of silver and entered the shares of the first foreign goods shop in Ren'an Mansion.
Wan Jiashu quickly found the shop, so Ji Xiaotang took out the money and put the shop down. Cleaning up the shop and asking for a friend. After Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao's brothers brought people to help, it was natural that everything went very smoothly.
At the end of May, Ji Xiaotang asked someone to choose a zodiac auspicious day, and the foreign goods shop officially opened.
Because the news had been spread before, on the first day of opening, the foreign goods shop was almost squeezed out by the big girl and the little wife, and he made a fortune.
Wan Jiashu came over to resign when he was busy.
He didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. Seeing that the goods in his hand would be sold out soon, he had to go back quickly. On the one hand, he reported it clearly to his family, and on the other hand, he also mobilized more foreign goods to the mansion.
Wan Jiashu left the city and took a detour to the snail girl temple to enter the incense. Qi Younian also arranged another manpower to escort Wan Jiashu through Mujia Village.
At this time, Master Ji Er beat someone and sent another letter.
This letter was not all good news.
Master Ji received the letter from Master Ji Er and quickly replied. Master Ji did not agree to the matter of investing in the fleet. Master Ji believed that the risk of going to sea in the fleet was too high, and it would be a blessing to be able to travel smoothly in one of the ten times.
Ji Family Geng studied and passed on his family, so he didn't have to take this risk with a large amount of money.
In addition, Master Ji also said that scholars are important and implied that Master Ji Er should not spend time on doing business and making money, and lost the scholars' nobleness.
Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San looked at the letter together, and both of them turned dark.
However, what Mr. Ji Er said in the letter next made the two of them slowly improve.
Master Ji Er said that since Master Ji disagreed, he could not use the money from the public. Master Ji Er was willing to take out the money under his name and invest in the fleet.
Mr. Ji Er could not afford 100,000 taels. He had saved up for several years as an official, plus a wide range of other things and Mrs. Ji Er's private houses, so he raised a total of 50,000 taels.
This number is almost full of money for Master Ji Er.
