"Master Gao, don't leave, you have to help us." A businessman stopped him as soon as he saw Gao Hanwen's shadow.
Gao Hanwen actually wanted to go home as soon as he heard that it was the end of the year. Because even if there are artifacts like Excel and various specialized software and communication technologies in later generations, year-end closing is still a mess in most companies, let alone the current situation.
Just being yelled at is not enough to rub the soles of your feet.
"Shopkeeper Hu, long time no see. You are lining up to bet on the gate of the Weaving Bureau. What is going on?" Gao Hanwen turned around and saw the other party. It turned out to be a relative of Hu Zongxian, a well-established Huizhou merchant family. The shopkeeper. Naturally, I don’t dare to neglect it.
"Mr. Gao, otherwise we wouldn't have troubled you recently."
Shopkeeper Hu had the head start, as if he had not dealt with the anonymous murderer of Confucius before Gao Hanwen. Adding fuel to the fire during a crisis is like a great kindness.
He didn’t do anything, and just one sentence made Gao Hanwen owe a favor.
Gao Hanwen couldn't be angry at the unlucky Hu family members who, even now, are still not sober and still think that Hu Zongxian is the mainstay of the Strict Party.
After all, with the title of Hu Zongxian’s nephew, in terms of seniority, he might still be the junior of the old man opposite.
In line with the principle of not arguing with fools, Gao Hanwen followed into the weaving bureau while laughing and laughing. There was also a large group of shopkeepers surrounding him.
"Master Gao, you are finally here. If you don't come, we will have to come to ask for advice again." Lu Fang put down her kouji and stood up from the table in the yard to greet him.
"Eunuch Lu, I just heard what Shopkeeper Hu said about the situation. What is Eunuch Lu's opinion?"
Gao Hanwen knew that what Shopkeeper Hu and others reported was really difficult. . So I first asked what the other person’s attitude was.
This kind of current account settlement is troublesome at any time. Especially now when trade between Thailand and Spain is involved. It is not clear whether the ship is buried in the belly of the fish. Who dares to settle the matter without seeing the money?
The specific problems are mainly caused by circumventing the Ming Dynasty law prohibiting the sea.
If the weaving bureau is just a ship, then the transportation fee will be charged for uploading, and the merchant will bear the risk if it does not arrive. There is not much to worry about. In other words, the tangle is just a matter of merchants' opinion and has nothing to do with the Weaving Bureau.
Due to previous trade rules, merchants first sold goods to the Weaving Bureau on credit. Only by converting private trade into royal trade can we break through the restrictions of the maritime ban.
The Weaving Bureau then entrusts merchant shopkeepers to go to Nanyang or Thailand as sales agents.
Theoretically, after the merchant sells overseas, the sales amount should be fed back to the Weaving Bureau after deducting the sales commission according to regulations.
But the actual operation is that in order to avoid risks, the Weaving Bureau charges merchants a sales agency fee based on 20% of the value of the goods when leaving the port. As for how much the merchants sell after arriving in Nanyang or Thailand, it is up to the merchants My own, it has nothing to do with the Weaving Bureau.
In addition, merchants need to share the shipping costs with the Weaving Bureau when leaving the port. This amount is not controversial and has been settled long ago.
The problem lies in the product sales agency part.
The Weaving Bureau has completely ignored the risks, but the real problem is that in this era, there are only a few people who have the strength to engage in foreign trade. The vast majority of people who do foreign trade, especially those outside Hangzhou, do business in compliance with regulations in order to reduce risks.
Especially the remote ones like Shujin merchants. I simply don’t dare to do business alone as a family.
The current problem is that the product has been shipped out. The money from the Weaving Bureau was also paid.
However, many products are no longer heard from as soon as they are shipped overseas. How to register for the year-end settlement becomes a problem.
The key is that the Weaving Bureau is also very straightforward and does not know anything about anything.
Many merchants have to pay a new batch of overseas shipping fees because they are still waiting for payment. The goods are all delivered to the warehouse of the Weaving Bureau. Many are stuck halfway.
This is what happened.
Originally Lu Fang didn’t want to deal with these merchants.
But after looking through the account books, I discovered that these businessmen were so rich. So we started doing business that is good for you, me, and everyone. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
