Starting from the first people who planted rubber trees in Nanyang, Wang Dali and Anan, there are dozens of rubber tree plantations in Nanyang.

Although not all plantations can harvest rubber starting this year.

However, the amount of rubber produced in Nanyang is increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Dali and Anan, who were originally worried about the possible plunge of rubber prices in the future, were finally completely relieved after receiving the news from Chang'an City.

"Dali, several other rubber plantations have started to harvest rubber this month, but the price of the entire Rubber Market in Puluo has not dropped significantly.

Even if there are occasional fluctuations, they are still within the normal acceptable range and should have nothing to do with the increase in rubber production."

Anan was gloriously drinking with Wang Dali in the Puluo Zhong Hotel.

This Puluo Zhongda Hotel was opened at the end of last year and is one of the industries of the Yuchi family in Puluo Zhongda.

The five-story hotel in Puluo Zhongda has become the most prosperous hotel in Puluo once it was opened.

Everyone is proud of treating guests here to dinner.

“I was originally worried that prices would drop sharply after the increase in rubber production this year.

However, rubber tires are so popular in Chang'an City, and a large amount of rubber is consumed in an instant.

Coupled with some other demands, the consumption of rubber this year has directly doubled.

If everyone hadn't known that the rubber production in Nanyang would continue to increase later, I felt that the price would have almost increased."

Wang Dali can receive letters sent by his son Wang Heng from Chang'an City every month.

It introduces the approximate rubber requirements of various workshops in Chang'an City in detail.

Then I also introduced what new things require rubber.

Therefore, although Wang Dali is not in Chang'an City, he is more familiar with the supply and demand of rubber than most noble merchants in Chang'an City.

"At the beginning of spring this year, some rubber plantations were originally preparing to expand, but because they were worried that rubber prices would drop this year, they didn't prepare anymore.

But I see that those rubber plantations have become busy again recently.

It is obvious that they have begun to gain confidence in expanding the size of their rubber plantations.

Now it seems that your decision to continue to increase the rubber planting area this year was quite right.

More and more cement roads were built in the Tang Dynasty, and the living standards of the people were getting higher and higher.

In the future, there will definitely be more and more demands for four-wheeled carriages and bicycles equipped with pneumatic tires.

In addition, Guanshishan Academy Rubber Research Institute and other workshops continue to discover some other uses of rubber, the demand for rubber in the entire Tang Dynasty will definitely reach a height beyond everyone's imagination."

Anan has experienced many hesitations and now has a very firm confidence in rubber planting.

The money I borrowed from the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House has now been returned.

This is just rubber that has been sold for a year.

If you sell rubber for a few more years, you will earn all the capital you invested before.

They can truly become rich people.

"It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince once said at Guanshishan Academy that rubber will be an important material second only to steel.

I think it would be fine if we don’t even double the planting area this year.

Didn’t we just pay off the loan owed to the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House at the end of last year?

I think I can borrow money from them again now.

This time, even if we borrowed 10,000 guan in one go, there should be no problem.

Taking this opportunity, we will expand the scale of the plantation again and strive to become the largest rubber plantation in Nanyang."

Wang Dali was obviously unwilling to stop moving forward like this.

In his opinion, the rubber industry has a broad future.

Now is just the beginning.

Although I was ahead of others at the beginning, if I stood there, I would be surpassed soon.

While everyone's expansion is not very exaggerated, you will increase your investment, even if you can't firmly take the lead.

It should be among the top.

After all, plantations are now starting to make profits.

If you continue to expand by using your profits and borrowings, the speed will be much faster than before.

Maybe you just need to wait until next year, your plantation will expand by 50% or 60%.

"Okay! These money shops have always been when you have money, so they are very willing to lend you money.

But when you are really short of money, others may not be willing to lend you money.

Although our loan was relatively smooth before, there were still many restrictions.

Now if we go to the Tang Dynasty royal money house Puluo Zhongsen Branch again, the situation should be a little different."

Anan obviously had some resentment towards the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House before.

As a money house, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or later generations, they only like to be rich and noble with you and do not want to share hardships with you.

When you don’t need money, ask you every day if you need a loan, it’s unsecured.

But when you have a need, you may dislike it like this and that, and you feel that you are not a high-quality customer.

"The rubber industry is now a key industry for Nanyang development. Whether it is the officials in Puluozhong or the policies in Chang'an City, they are very supportive.

This time we can find a way to see if we can let the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House lend us money in the name of policy support loans.

In this way, you can save a lot of interest expenses in a few years."

Wang Dali is now considered a relatively successful businessman.

He naturally has his own considerations on how to reduce capital costs.

For example, policy-based support loans are a business that the Tang Dynasty Royal Money Bank has launched in the past two years.

If the purpose of borrowing money is to comply with this policy, the interest rate can be 30% to 50% lower than normal.

Don’t underestimate this discount. It is also a loan of 10,000 yuan. In a few years, the interest alone may be less than 1,000 yuan.

Obviously, industries like rubber have the attributes of policy-based loans.

In Li Kuan's plan, Nanyang is just a place to provide industrial raw materials and primary products in the Tang Dynasty.

The development of agriculture such as spice planting, rubber tree planting, or fruit planting is supported and encouraged.

On the contrary, industrial-related matters are policy-based loans in Chang'an City.

But in Nanyang, let alone preferential loans.

There are clear regulations within the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House that are prohibited from providing loans to any industrial enterprises in Nanyang.

"This shouldn't be a big problem. I'll find some time to visit the city lord in the past few days and learn about the current policy situation with him.

Then go to discuss things with the people from the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House and strive to get the loan done this month."

Anan and Wang Dali also have a division of labor now.

Wang Dali is basically responsible for the matters inside the plantation.

However, Anan is often dealing with the relevant communication outside the plantation.

Of course, this is not absolute.

...

"Brother Yuchi, Puluo has become more and more prosperous in the past two years.

Sometimes when I walk on the street, I think I'm back to Dengzhou."

In Yuchi Huan's mansion, Yang Qiwa and him were sitting on a sandalwood table and tasting Longjing fragrant tea.

As the former admiral of the Puluo Zhongshibo Navy, Yang Qiwa is now the admiral of the South China Sea Fleet of the Tang Dynasty Navy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high position and a high position and a high position.

In Nanyang, the navy has much greater influence than the army.

Yuchi Huan and Yang Qiwa can be said to be the most powerful figures in the entire Southeast Asian and even the entire West.

Yuchi Huan's power is more reflected in this big city in Puluo and the surrounding islands.

However, Yang Qiwa's influence was from the Southern Heavenly Kingdom to the Linyi Kingdom. No one dared to provoke Yang Qiwa in the entire vast waterway.

With the continuous improvement of the technical level of the Datang shipbuilding workshop, the warships equipped by the Datang Navy are far higher than those of other countries in terms of quantity and quality.

This ensures Yang Qiwa's authority.

Fortunately, although he has a high position and a powerful position, Yang Qiwa is not too arrogant.

"This is all thanks to His Highness the Prince's blessing, attaching importance to the development of overseas territories, encouraging business development, and encouraging maritime trade development.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing in Pulu?

Nowadays, there are basically many ships from Puluozhong to Guangzhou and other places every day.

There are now fixed ships back and forth between some major ports.
