After thinking, these Shanxi merchants in Beijing found that they actually made more money than they had in the previous year... The resentment towards Mr. Zhao immediately turned into worship.

Besides, if we can't compete in Beijing, we can still go back to our hometown to develop.

After all, when it comes to coal production, it is not just that Shanxi boasts, but everyone here is all younger brothers. Just the little coal in Xishan Coal Mine is simply a drop in the bucket of Shanxi.

Moreover, in my hometown in Shanxi, I am a local snake, and even Mr. Zhao is not very good at playing!

As long as you copy all the things Mr. Zhao did in Beijing back to Shanxi, you can make a fortune. From now on, you can just sit at home and count the money?

The old Xi'ans happily imagined while eating noodles.

~~

Of course, Yang Sihe would not tell Zhao Hao about the above words.

After all, it was quite embarrassing to follow someone behind the butt for a long time, but he didn't even disturb his opponent.

"Watching Mr. Zhao's business is booming, it's too fake to say he is not jealous. But we know our own weight and dare not compete with the master in the capital for food, so we decided to go back to our hometown and start a Shanxi coal industry, and learn from Mr. Zhao to start the business." He smiled bitterly again and said to Zhao Hao:

"But we discussed it excitedly for a few days, but found that things were not that simple. Because Mr. Zhao's success has several unreplicable geographical features."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hao picked up the teacup and looked at the red and black liquid inside, thinking that it was not old jealousy, right?

He tasted it curiously, and hey, it was Pu'er tea.

"One of the things, Xishan Coal Mine is located in the place where groundwater gathers in Beijing, so so many coal mines have severe water permeability. Only the 'Drainage King' will shine." Yang Sihe sighed:

"But our Shanxi lacks water. If the coal mine is dug a hundred feet down, it won't seep water, so the drainage king is not available at all."

"It's a good thing if you don't use it, it means that your coal mines in Shanxi are easy to mine." Zhao Hao smiled and comforted.

"Haha, that's true..." Yang Si and Qiang laughed, thinking that we wouldn't be able to make a fortune.

"What else?"

"In addition, Xishan Coal Mine is not only adjacent to the capital with a population of one million, but also has well-connected water transportation, which can break the rule of "not selling woodcutters for a hundred miles" and sell coal to seven or eight million people." Yang Sihe said again:

"And our Shanxi province has a total population of more than 8 million, and coal is produced everywhere. Not to mention that we don't sell woodcutters for a hundred miles, we can't sell them for dozens of miles... So our coal is too cheap, only forty or fifty cents and one hundred kilograms, and we're making a fortune."

"Three, refugees from all over the world run to the capital, and even the people in Shanxi are the same, which makes Xishan coal industry have countless cheap workers. This is something we cannot compare with in Shanxi... In our place, digging coal is similar to farming, and the people are both dirty and bitter and unwilling to do it."

"Yes." Zhao Hao did not object. He had already determined that Beijing was the most suitable city for the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty, no doubt about it.

The current conditions in Shanxi are indeed far from comparable to those in Beijing.

So this destined that the Shanxi merchants could not copy Zhao Hao's success through simple imitation.

After saying that, Yang Sihe stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Hao:

"Throughout ancient times, there is no one who is better at doing business than a young master. How dare you ask the young master why he taught me?"

"That's it..." Zhao Hao put on a painful expression and said, "Every place is the same. I have never been to Shanxi. How can I say it well?"

Yang Sihe looked at Yang Bo, saw his uncle nodding, and gritted his teeth and said, "Our Shanxi coal industry is willing to make half a share of dry shares and hire a young master as our senior adviser!"

"Yo." Zhao Hao couldn't help but look at him with admiration. He gave him five percent of his shares when he came up with an idea. Unexpectedly, these old Xier were quite willing to give up their capital. No wonder they would be the only one in the future.

"We have raised a million taels of silver..." Yang Sihe told Zhao Hao again. "If we don't talk about comparing with Xishan Company in the future, it will be no problem to be worth a thousand taels."

"Official Yang is here to see you." Zhao Hao then smiled and said, "Then I will just say it, just listen to it. If it is not suitable, just take it as a fun."

"Chengcheng, please speak." Yang Sihe quickly went to the table to get paper and pen and listened attentively.

"There is a big deal for opening a coal company in Shanxi. Although Shanxi has six coal-producing areas and tens of thousands of small coal mines, the transportation is inconvenient and the technology is backward. Moreover, coal bosses are generally not strong and have many mother-in-laws. This will inevitably lead to high production costs, and the coal is cheap, so there will naturally be little profit."

"Young Master Zhao is an expert!" Yang Sihe slapped his thigh, and his uncle asked him to use his kids to ask Zhao Hao to find a solution. He was a little reluctant. "It is because the profit is too thin, so our Shanxi merchants would rather go to the west and go to Beijing than touch the coal mine at home."

Sure enough, my uncle is still wise. Mr. Zhao actually knows the situation in Shanxi so well...

"When doing business, I will give up, and I will give up." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I believe that if Shanxi's coal industry can use its advantages in funds, management and other aspects, it can reduce the selling price by 10% to 20%, and it can quickly form an industry monopoly... It is not that big of an appetite for a while, so you can start by monopolizing the coal mine in Taiyuan."

"Well. Taiyuan also has Xishan, and the coal in our Xishan is much better than that in Beijing Xishan." Yang Sihe said in a head-on key.

"But I don't recommend promoting coal lotus roots in Taiyuan."

"Why?" Yang Sihe and Yang Bo asked in unison.

"Because the people of Shanxi are burning coal." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "Why teach them how to save coal?"

"Oh, hahaha..." Yang Bo laughed loudly after hearing this, "My nephew is so treacherous, but I like it."

"Yes, coal lotus roots save too much than loose coal. We are worried about sales, so how can we promote this thing?" Yang Sihe also laughed, and then said worriedly: "But there are only hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan, and the market is limited after all."

"Purchasing Taiyuan is only the first step, and it can help Shanxi company gain a solid foundation." Zhao Hao said again: "Then you have two choices. Either go east or go south."

"How to talk about eastward movement?" Once at the strategic level, Lao Yang Bo was no longer sleepy.

"Entering east means opening up the transportation from Yangquan to Zhengding Prefecture, and the west-to-east coal transportation." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice.

"Yangquan arrives at Zhengding Prefecture? You know how to walk." Yang Bo raised his thumbs up and said, "Among the eight passes of Taihang, this Jingxing Road can take a big cart!"

Shanxi is rich in resources. In addition to endless coal, there is also extremely rich iron ore. Shanxi's iron smelting industry is also very developed... The reason for the difficulty is that it is separated from the Central Plains from north to south by the continuous Taihang Mountains from north to south. There are only eight trails dug in ancient times, and the transportation is very inconvenient.

"The coal merchants in Yangquan used camels and mules to transport coal to Zhengding from the Song and Yuan dynasties." Yang Sihe smiled bitterly: "But Jingxing Road 'cars cannot be square rails, and riding cannot be in line', and the transportation capacity is very limited, so I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket."

"So I said, we need to open up the transportation between the two places!" Zhao Hao punched the table and cut the railway firmly: "Why do we need to open a company and why do we issue stocks? Is it to make money?"

Yes, that's it.

"It is to concentrate on doing big things!" Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Just like Xishan Company is going to overhaul Jingxishan Road, Shanxi Company also wants to make the courage to overhaul Jingxing Road!"

"Okay!" Yang Bo applauded excitedly: "This Ming Dynasty requires the courage of a nephew!"

"But Taihang Mountain is so steep? How can it be compared to the small valley in Mentougou?" Yang Sihe said bitterly: "If there is no such condition, it will be a great road, otherwise the court would have to repair it without spending much money..."

"There is no need to widen it, just repair the existing Jingxing Road and turn the original track into the railway track!" But Zhao Haoshi said shockedly.
