Chapter 504: Breaking the Situation and Thinking of Change
Shen Qingqian smiled and said, "Of course, but Shopkeeper Yu must strictly control the quality. There must be no problems with the products."
"Of course, ha ha ha," Shopkeeper Yu was so happy that he was a little lost, "Sixth Miss, are you sure?"
Shen Qingqian turned her head to look at Sheng Ze, "I brought the Vanguard General to you. He is fully responsible for these matters. Do you think this is true?"
Since ancient times, few merchants dealing in medicinal materials have been able to leave Dajin, and the biggest factor is safety issues.
Medicinal materials are different from other goods. Generally, those used for foreign trade are expensive finished medicines. On the contrary, no one is willing to transport ordinary herbs over long distances.
After all, after deducting the cost and risk, it is almost equal to not making any money. Businessmen are profit-driven, so who would be willing to do something that does not make money?
"Shopkeeper Yu." Sheng Ze clasped his fists and nodded slightly to Shopkeeper Yu as a greeting.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yu felt relieved and immediately said, "Then I'll write to the boss and tell him about this!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry, without even bothering to say goodbye to Shen Qingqian and the others.
However, Shen Qingqian was not someone who cared about these things. The two of them quickly came out of Jingrentang and headed towards Yunzhongxian.
"Qianqian," Sheng Ze called out calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Qingqian's reaction. "The Yunzhongxian business is mainly about restaurants, and it seems to have little to do with our caravan. Why do you still want them to participate?"
Shen Qingqian had called him this affectionate name before, but starting from last night, her attitude had obviously changed, so he wanted to try again.
Shen Qingqian didn't even notice his address. After all, it wasn't the first time he called her that before. Hearing his words, Shen Qingqian smiled slightly, "Those who run a restaurant business need to travel around with the caravans. Besides, the Li family has more than just a restaurant business."
No matter which industry you are in, you need innovation and change. As far as she knows, the Li family's financial situation has been gradually declining in recent years. Otherwise, they would not attach so much importance to the business in northern Hubei and let Li Hezhou take care of it.
This matter was actually revealed by Shen Qingman. Her ex-husband Li Hezhi is the legitimate son of the main branch of the Li family. Over the years, the main branch of the Li family has been able to gain a foothold in the capital thanks to the financial support of Li Hezhou's family.
However, the Jin Dynasty's suppression of the status of merchants was quite harsh. The main branch of the Li family wanted both financial support from other branches of the Li family and a good reputation, so they were openly indifferent to the people in the branches.
Over time, the branches will inevitably become alienated.
The basis for cooperation between the two sides has been lost, and development has naturally stagnated.
Now is the time for the Li family to break through. Li Hezhou, who looks like a playboy, is actually the successor valued by the branch.
Of course, the latter part was Shen Qingqian's own analysis based on the situation during this period.
If Li Hezhou was not valued by the family, he would have been called back long ago.
It is precisely because he is valued that he is allowed to stay in the safest place during the war.
Objectively speaking, although northern Hubei seemed to be in the midst of war, the northern Hubei army was known for its ferocity, and with Lanjiang blocking King Zhao's way, the Li family chose the latter between taking the risk of letting Li Hezhou return to Beijing and staying in northern Hubei.
"I understand." After Shen Qingqian's guidance, Sheng Ze also understood her plan.
The Li family has its own channels. Not to mention anything else, just transporting goods from all over Dajin to northern Hubei is better than other merchants with no foundation.
When the two arrived at the Yunzhongxian Restaurant, Li Hezhou was waiting for them.
"I'll post one chapter first, and update the rest around 12pm."
