Liu Feng was in a pretty good mood at this moment.
Jia Huaxin had arranged things very well, and everyone was still feeling comfortable at this point.
Jia Huaxin arranged for four beautiful girls to take excellent care of Liu Feng during his bath. The girls used all their skills, and Liu Feng felt very comfortable.
I'm in a better mood.
Liu Feng considered Jia Huaxin's grudge to be over.
"I just came to see what kind of business opportunities are available here."
"By the way, I also need you to come with me to Yicheng, which is even further away. There is someone I need in the salt mine there."
"Take him away."
Chun Yue's father, Chun Yuan, works in this place.
Getting her out shouldn't be a big problem.
It is currently unclear whose property this salt mine actually belongs to.
If it belongs to the steward's property, then it's even simpler; as long as the Emperor's Sword is brought out, the person can be taken away.
If it's a private matter, then naturally it would require Jia Huating, the local indigenous person, to make contact.
"oh?"
Hearing that he was going to Yicheng, which was even further away, Jia Huating frowned at first, but did not ask any further questions. Taking someone away should not be difficult.
On the contrary, it was the business idea that had been mentioned earlier that piqued his curiosity.
"Liu Feng has already discussed his business plans here with several elders in his family."
"There are no problems within the Jia family; they wholeheartedly support your business."
"It's not easy to gain a foothold here. There are only a few cities in the east of Qingzhou, and the Jia family is not the only large family."
"If Mr. Liu wants to continue doing business here, he will definitely need to maintain good relations with the other two families."
"I can help Mr. Liu with this matter."
"But Mr. Liu can rest assured that even if the other two families do not give in, it doesn't matter. My Jia family can provide Mr. Liu with a place."
"Even if there are some obstacles in business, with the help of my Jia family, it won't be difficult to establish ourselves here."
Liu Feng nodded, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
"Qingzhou has the largest tree trading company in the country, but in the east of Qingzhou, the four cities are basically monopolized by our three families."
"Mainly the Jia family, the Li family, and the Yong family."
"There are some other small families as well, but they are all running small businesses and have not formed large-scale trading companies, so we don't need to worry about them for now."
"To gain a foothold here, the support of my Jia family is enough to keep us here. If we want to grow and expand, we must win the approval of another family."
"It would be even better if all three approve."
Liu Feng chuckled.
Do you have any good suggestions or ideas about this matter?
Jia Huating chuckled.
"It's actually quite simple. Businessmen are profit-driven. As long as there's money to be made, I don't think there's anything we can't reach an agreement on."
"The simplest way is to give them dividends. Who doesn't like money, right?"
Liu Feng frowned deeply.
If you want to run your own business, then your earning power is definitely something those three companies can't exploit.
Earning money is hard enough, but then you have to give them dividends? What's the difference between that and cutting off your own flesh to feed a tiger?
Doing business this way, you won't make any money yourself; even if you do, they'll take it all away little by little.
Liu Feng decisively rejected this approach.
"This won't do, this method is absolutely unacceptable."
"Are there any other ways besides this?"
Jia Huating pondered for a moment.
"Yes, there is, but this..."
"It's not easy; in fact, it's quite troublesome."
What do you mean?
Liu Feng put his hands on his hips, his eyes scanning the other person's expression.
In general, this is when it's time to raise the price.
However, the Jia family and the other two families are competitors of the Jia family, so they shouldn't have any reason to raise their prices with Liu Feng.
Liu Feng decided to listen carefully to Jia Huating's opinion.
“Mr. Liu, I know you want to enter the four cities in the east of Qingzhou. My Jia family has no objection, but the other two families will have to make concessions, since the market is only so big.”
“The Li family is in the salt and iron business, and they basically monopolize the salt and iron business in these four cities. I heard that you have a good relationship with the people in the Salt and Iron Bureau.”
"If we can help the Li family acquire a salt mine or an iron mine, then without any hesitation, it will definitely be useful."
"As for the Yong family, they have always been in the grain business, and I heard that they are looking for a new place to use as a large warehouse."
"If Boss Liu can help them solve this, then the Yong family's problem will also be solved."
Jia Huating made it sound easy, but Liu Feng knew very well that handling these two matters would not be simple.
Liu Feng had some connections with the Salt and Iron Bureau, but they weren't particularly close, so Liu Feng could only chuckle.
After all, Liu Feng only knew one Salt and Iron Commissioner within the Salt and Iron Bureau, and that person certainly wouldn't want to get involved in matters here. Besides, even if he were willing, he was in Youzhou, and this was Qingzhou, so he was too far away to help.
As for the Yong family's grain business, it's a highly profitable and in-demand business, but transportation is a major problem, especially given the unique geographical location of this city in the east of Qingzhou.
If they could travel by water, Liu Feng could provide some assistance and save a significant amount of transportation costs.
If Liu Feng succeeds in winning over either of these two companies, his mission will be accomplished.
Liu Feng did have some ideas about this.
What about the rivers in this area?
