Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Sir, stop, please show your membership card!" Li Min just wanted to enter the sea trade center, but was stopped by a strange female voice. Only then did Li Min realize that there were two blond-haired and blue-eyed Persians standing on each side of the door.  Hu Ji, it was the one on the right who stopped him.

    "Membership card?" Hearing this name, Li Min felt in a trance, feeling as if he had returned to the 21st century.

    When the Chinese-speaking Persian orchid saw Li Min's dazed look, she thought she had guessed something immediately, and then smiled and said: "If you don't have a membership card, sir, you can also show your tax bill when you were at the port. With the tax bill,  You can also come in!¡±

    "Tax bill?" Li Min really had a wry smile at this time. It seemed that the other party really regarded him as a businessman coming to Lion City. Otherwise, how could he have a tax bill?  Most people outside of business would not come to this kind of place.

    Seeing Li Xin hesitated and said nothing, the Persian Orchid on the opposite side immediately understood. She still smiled and said: "Since the young master does not have a membership card and no tax bill, he must not be a businessman coming to the Lion City, and this center generally only treats businessmen.  It¡¯s open, so please go and have a look elsewhere!¡±

    Although he was driving people away, this beautiful Persian orchid smiled so brightly that people could not feel the slightest bit disgusted. It seemed that Wang Kuang also knew the charm of beautiful women.  After hearing this, Li Min also smiled sarcastically and said: "I see, I was the one who was rude!"

    But just as Li Min was pulling the reluctant Chou Chou and Yanyan away, suddenly a plainclothes guard walked over, handed a token to Li Min, and whispered a few words.  Now Li Min's face was filled with joy. He turned around and showed the token in his hand to Hu Ji and said, "I forgot about it just now. I wonder if this token from the Governor's Mansion might let me wait in?"

    The guards around him have heavy responsibilities, and sometimes they need to mobilize some help.  Therefore, every time he went to a place, he needed local officials to provide some convenience, and the token in the guard's hand was what he had asked Wang Kuang before.

    Hu Ji, who was greeting the guests, was obviously well-informed. When she saw the token from the Governor's Mansion, she immediately showed a respectful look and said softly: "Young master, you are joking. This token can even enter the Governor's Mansion. We are in the Sea Trade Center."  Of course you can come in!"

    Li Min nodded after hearing this and put the token into his arms.  Then he pulled Chou Chou and Yan Yan inside, but right after him, ten more people wearing various costumes, but all of them with tough faces showed the governor's palace token and entered the sea trade center.  The two Persian orchids who greeted the guests were surprised, and at the same time they guessed the identity of the young man who just entered.

    As soon as Li Min entered, he immediately felt a rush of noise. Although the square outside was already very noisy, it was nothing compared to here.  But there is a feeling that a small witch is a big witch.

    What appeared in front of Li Min was an extremely wide hall, and in this hall, it could be clearly seen that it was divided into several areas.  Every area was crowded with people. Huhan businessmen wearing various costumes stood there nervously staring at the wooden signs hanging on the wall in front of them.

    And when Li Min got closer, he discovered it.  It turns out that this hall is the release hall for product information, depending on the type of goods.  It is divided into several areas, and each area is managed by specialized personnel.  From time to time, these people took out wooden signs with transaction information and hung them on the wall. Sometimes they also took down some completed transaction information, while the businessmen stared at the information on the wall intently. Whenever the information they needed appeared,  When receiving a message, they will immediately go to the row of management windows below the message, and then contact the person who posted the message through the manager.

    However, it may be because the sea trade center has just been established, and the merchants are really eager to sell or purchase goods, so everyone is shouting urgently, and their voices are louder than the last. It looks like a futures trading hall in later generations.  style.

    Li Min walked along the passage between various areas with great interest, while Chou Chou and Yan Yan held hands, their two pairs of big black eyes wandering around, seeming to be very curious about the noise here.

    ¡°I¡¯ve met the young master, how can I help you?¡± At this moment, a young man dressed as a staff member suddenly came over and asked Li Min with a smile.

    Li Min looked at the other party, then smiled and said: "We are businessmen who just arrived here today, and it is our first time here, so we are not familiar with it. Can you introduce it to me?"

    "Of course!" the other party said with the same smile, and then pointed to the hall and began to introduce Li Min.

    And through the other party's narration, Li Min slowly got a general understanding of the entire sea trade center.  Among them, the first floor they are on is the largest and busiest floor in the entire sea trade center, because only small quantities of goods are traded here.?, the value is not very high, but there are the most merchants doing this kind of business, so this place seems busier and more lively.

    And from the second floor to the fourth floor, they are all trading areas similar to the first floor, except that each floor is classified by the price of the goods, and the higher the price, the higher the price of the goods.  On the last two floors, there are separate tea rooms opened up for the merchants below to discuss business.

    "Sir, this is the general situation of this center. I don't know what goods you want to trade and how much they are worth. I can have someone take you to the corresponding floor." The young staff member smiled after introducing the situation. It seemed that he was just  He regarded Li Min as a businessman who came to trade.

    Li Min pretended to think about it for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "No, I just brought some scattered goods this time, and their value is not very high. I'm afraid they can only be traded here on the first floor!  "

    "Okay, sir, what kind of goods do you have? I will take you to the corresponding trading area." The young staff member said again.

    However, Li Min was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that the other party's service was so attentive. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the other party would take him to the trading area. This made Li Min helplessly make up a lie again.  : "I have a batch of cane sugar, please take me to the cane sugar trading area!"

    Sucrose is one of the most representative goods in Taiwan, so Li Min unconsciously thought of it, and the staff on the other side did not doubt it. They took Li Min to the sucrose trading area and then introduced the transaction to Li Min.  After reading some notes about the area, he turned around and left.

    At this time, Li Min turned around and looked at the sucrose trading area on the first floor. He was a little surprised to find that there were not many people in the sucrose trading area. There were only about 20 people in total. This was different from the huge crowds in other trading areas.  Comparing the situation, it can be described as a deserted place.

    Li Min was a little surprised at first, but soon figured out what was going on, because the first floor is a small goods trading area, and the prices of the goods traded are not too high, and sucrose is divided into brown sugar and white sugar. The price of white sugar  It is very high. Taiwan¡¯s exports to Southeast Asia, even Tianzhu, Persia and other places are all white sugar.

    This is mainly because Tianzhu also produces cane sugar, but the processing technology is limited and cannot produce white sugar as white as snow. And the Lion City is no exception. Most of the cane sugar traded is white sugar, and with the high price of white sugar, it will definitely be  It's the sugar trading area on the upper floors. The first floor is probably filled with low-value brown sugar, which is only consumed by locals in Lion City. The trading volume is very small, so the people sitting here are all small businessmen.

    Because there were too few people, the entire cane sugar trading area seemed a bit empty. More than twenty small businessmen were all crowded under the trading window, raising their heads to carefully read the listed trading information. Li Min looked at it casually, and the result  I found that there was not a lot of information about buying or selling sucrose, and the price for buying sucrose was not very high. Several of the businessmen who were preparing to sell sucrose sighed while looking at it. They were probably very dissatisfied with the price. Other businessmen  They were all whispering.

    Li Min walked forward with Chou Chou and the two little girls, and then found a seat to sit down. He wanted to hear what these businessmen were discussing.

    "Brother Shitou, are we going to lose money this time? We looked at several shops before, but they didn't accept them. Later, the kind old shopkeeper reminded us and asked us to come here to take a look, but the purchase price on the wall  They are not very tall. Should we sell it or not?" Just behind Li Min, a fat young man said, and next to him was a dark and thin young man. The two of them naturally  It was Shitou and Dunzi who came with Li Min and his fleet.

    After Shitou heard Dunzi's words, he shook his head slightly and said: "It's not a big deal to lose money, but I didn't expect the price of sucrose in Lion City to drop so fast. If I had known this, I might as well have transported it north to Dengzhou.  Although the purchase price of cane sugar in the city is not high, it is more stable and there is no need to worry about sales. However, it is not good now. The price in Lion City fluctuates too much. We have arrived at this time. If we go by the above price  If we sell it, excluding the boat rental and the expenses along the way, I guess I can make a few bucks in the end.¡±

    "How many dollars?" Yizi smiled bitterly. They had been busy working on this batch of goods during this period, but in the end they only made a few dollars. If their expenses in the Lion City were included, it is estimated that these few dollars  No more.  Thinking of this, Dunzi couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

    However, compared to Dunzi's frustration, Shitou was not discouraged at all. Instead, his eyes were staring at the transaction information on the wall, and his mind was spinning rapidly. Although this sugar business did not make any money, it made him feel happy.  The stone has gained a lot of energy, and the most important thing is that he also discovered a treasure like the Sea Trade Center. Maybe he can find a true path from here.?¡¯s way of making money.  (To be continued)
