The martial arts journey begins with The King's Ambition

Chapter 540
Huang Jinyuan said: "When you took the ship out to sea, it caused a sensation in the entire Quanzhou Port. There had never been such a big ship, and many people engaged in maritime trade were paying attention. In the past few years, people have been asking about this ship, but you have always been You haven’t come back, so nothing has happened yet. But I guess if you come back this time, people will naturally come to your door.”

Huang Shang nodded, everything was reasonable.

The captain looked at the cow, but he would only know if it was useful or not when he got to the sea.It's not that no one wants to build such a big ship, it's just that the shipbuilding technology is not up to par.Now that someone has made it, of course we have to wait and see if it is really good.What if a big wave can scatter the flowers? Isn’t it all joy?
Huang Shang's return with a full load appears in Quanzhou Port, which will naturally attract people's attention.

Huang Shang said: "Third brother, let's take care of these matters. I'll go back to Yanping first and report to my father that I'm safe."

Huang Jinyuan said: "Go back quickly, I'll prepare for my next trip to sea."

Huang Shang shook his head and said: "I have already enjoyed my trip to sea this time. I will not go again, and I will not interfere in your business again."

Huang Jinyuan said anxiously: "How can you do it no matter what? I have no experience in such a big thing."

Huang Shang said: "Although you have no sailing experience, after four years at sea this time, we have accumulated enough experience as sailors. As for business experience, I am not as good as you. Look at Sixth Brother, what does he have?" Experience means that it’s not just about going out for adventure. Besides, there is still Brother Six taking care of me at sea, so I don’t feel sure at first, so I just have to be cautious.”

Huang Jinyuan paused and said, "In this case, I won't stop you, but I still need your opinion on something."

Huang Shang asked: "What's the matter?"

Huang Jinyuan said: "There are many people who are interested in our big ship. One of them is a local Huang clan member named Huang Shen. He is distantly related to us and has a large maritime trade. He wants to buy us. I was afraid that the shipbuilding technology would be leaked, so I didn’t agree. And because you haven’t come back, he is also waiting to see. Now that you are back, I think he will bring up the old matter again, and I am not sure whether I should sell it to him. "

The shipbuilding technology belongs to Huang Shang. Since there is a risk of leakage, of course he must be consulted.

Huang Shang said: "It's not easy to leak technology. Even if he dismantles the ship, he won't be able to replicate it as strong as a ship. Regardless of this, you can decide for yourself whether you should sell it to him or not."

After listening to Huang Shang's words, Huang Jinyuan suddenly felt confident and said: "In this case, I think it is better to sell him a boat. They are both surnamed Huang, and they have relatives for several generations. Besides, the benefits of maritime trade are huge. , it is definitely not something that one person can monopolize, and the risk of monopoly is even greater. As long as the shipbuilding technology is in our hands, the initiative is in our hands."

Huang Shang smiled and said, "You decide for yourself."

Huang Shang had been away from home for four years and could not go home empty-handed, so he picked out a few rare items from overseas as a way of comforting his father.Plus gold and silver, we gathered together a car and went on the road with Li Canghai.

It can be done in a day by practicing Qinggong. If you add a trailer, you won't be in a hurry. Just grind on the road.

After being away for four years, it seems to be more prosperous. It may be that the downturn overseas made him feel more lively in China. This is really a beautiful era!
The sun was setting in the west and it was already dusk. Huang Shang and Li Canghai were having dinner in the restaurant. They were in good spirits and asked for a bottle of wine.

Li Canghai asked: "Why did you bring so much gold and silver on the road? I thought you wouldn't bring such tacky things."

"Tacky?"

Huang Shang smiled and said: "You have followed me to the sea for four years, and you still think that I am not a common person? Aren't I just going out to make money?"

Li Canghai shook his head and said: "No, although you went to sea to make money, and you said you were a businessman, you never cared about it. Carrying boxes of gold and silver on the road was something I never expected." Huang Shang said: "No matter how valuable something is, it's not as good as the money itself. The so-called 'exotic treasures' can be used as gifts. I don't go home just to give gifts. Real money and silver are achievements. I want my father to know that I don't go out just for fun, and this This trade is profitable."

Li Canghai smiled and said: "My master just wants you all to be officials, so why would he care about this?"

Huang Shang said: "He is the leader of the clan, why doesn't he care? Of course he wants all of us to be officials, but he himself knows it's impossible. You see, he doesn't seem to care about the third brother who helps the business, but in fact, he is the biggest support."

The two chatted, pretending to be a big man, came to Huang Shang's table, cupped his hands, and said: "Young master, everything is settled."

Huang Shang nodded and said: "You should eat quickly and rest early. Rest safely."

This big man was the escort who helped Huang Shang escort the goods back to Yanping.

Huang Shang couldn't carry a cart of goods on his own, so he needed someone familiar with the business to take care of everything.While Quanzhou's trade is booming, it has also driven the development of the local bodyguard bureau business, and there are many large-scale bodyguard bureaus.

Huang Shang had not originally thought of looking for an escort. This cart of gold and silver looked expensive, but in fact it was heavy. It would be extremely difficult to steal or snatch him away in front of himself and Li Canghai.

It's just that Huang Jinyuan's new business partner, Huang Shen of the local Huang family, heard that an important person was returning home with valuables, so he volunteered to send the best bodyguard team from the Huang family's own bodyguard bureau to act as escort.No money, just to make friends.

Friends are like this, you help me, I help you, trouble each other, the more trouble, the closer the relationship.

Huang Shang did not refuse.

The leading bodyguard is called Huang Zheng, Huang Shen's first bodyguard. Huang Shen told him to treat Huang Shang with the same respect as he does himself.

The bodyguard practices martial arts and is considered a martial artist, but he also does business and treats people differently from ordinary people in the world. Along the way, he will definitely treat Huang Shang as his master.

Huang Shen did not charge for the escort, but Huang Shang would not treat the escorts who accompanied him badly. He spent generously on food and accommodation, and the rewards he gave were better than their usual income from escorts, so the escorts The teachers also try their best.

Huang Zheng did not stay at the restaurant to eat, but asked the restaurant to send the prepared meals back to the backyard where the bodyguards were stationed. They would not leave the bodyguards they wanted to protect.

After Huang Shang and Li Canghai had their fill of wine and food, they also returned to the guest room in the backyard.They decided to stay in a separate courtyard. They looked at the bodyguards who were guarding the place every three steps and one post every five steps. They smiled and nodded, and all the bodyguards also responded with "Young Master, Young Master".

Before Huang Shang could sit down after entering, she heard someone shouting from outside: "Don't come near, we have reserved this courtyard."

Huang Shang turned his head and glanced in the direction outside the house, then glanced at Li Canghai.
