readx After a feast of seafood that made Zhao Lie complain in the evening, Zhao Lie happily fell asleep early.
As a result, less than half an hour later, Yu Dabao woke Zhao Lie up.
The Yangzhou Meng family’s fleet had arrived, and the head of the Meng family asked to see him. .
Damn, I can’t live this life.
After all, I am also a yameni of a third-grade official and a fifth-grade military general of the Ming Dynasty.
My life is so miserable that I can’t even get a good night’s sleep.
I am annoyed, but Zhao Lie is still The strong man changed his clothes and came to see him, but he couldn't be willful at this time.
When Meng Guangshan heard Zhang Ting's reply, he was dissatisfied.
That's for sure.
I can increase the price of copper, but I still have to forget about buying shares.
It is not that there are no officials' shares in the Meng family's business, but they are also the shares of the officials in charge of Yangzhou City.
You are only a thousand households in Shandong.
However, he still can't give up the scarce copper and silver.
Give him 20% of the shares and make a profit for yourself.
It's still a big head, but the facial hair doesn't look good with it being manipulated like this.
So Meng Guangshan carefully interrogated Zhao Lie.
Meng Guangshan was deeply impressed by what Zhang Ting said about leading tens of thousands of people to open up the bay, working together with the refugees, eating the same food, sleeping in tents, and specifically mentioned the tea leaking from the tents.
Meng Guangshan deeply admired the situation in which the heat was dissipated.
However, Meng Guangshan was a big businessman, and the prerequisite for cooperation was to have accounts.
What he could see from this was that this person had great ambitions and perhaps a great future.
He could meet and discuss in detail.
After thinking about it for a few days, he made up his mind and came by boat with Zhang Ting.
Before Meng Guangshan came, he had already learned that Zhao Lie was young.
After meeting today, he was still surprised.
He was too young and wondered whether he was suitable for the silver and copper business, which was shady.
After the two parties had finished their greetings, Zhao Lie got straight to the point, "Last time, I don't know what Dongzhu Meng thought about the conditions I mentioned to Mr.
Zhao."
Meng Guangshan realized what Zhang Ting said.
This man spoke straightforwardly.
"Sir, I would like to ask whether the supply of silver and copper can be interrupted."
This is what Meng Guangshan is most concerned about.
"Dongzhu Meng, don't worry.
I promise that we will not be out of stock all year round."
Zhao Lie thought to himself that as long as the Ming Dynasty is in short supply of silver and copper, the import of silver and copper from the surrounding areas will continue, and the great cause of the sea has just begun.
Just because you are an official, I am so cautious.
You must know that officials eat people without spitting out their bones.
However, you are not from Yangzhou.
The worst is to break up.
"Okay, sir, our Meng family is willing to cooperate sincerely with you."
Meng Guangshan decided not to delay.
After all, the other party has a silver and bronze trump card.
"Okay, Mr.
Meng is happy.
I wish our two businesses a prosperous business.
Come, let's have a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests."

Of course, the seafood dinner was served, including crabs, sea cucumbers, shark fins, tuna, etc.
When I tasted it for the first time, it was extremely delicious, but it was like this every day. . . , well, you know.
On the wine table, glasses were exchanged, and the atmosphere was very warm.
During the dinner, Meng Guangshan said intentionally or unintentionally that business is not easy.
The current officials have to take care of it, the new officials have to take care of it, the stationed eunuchs have to take care of it, and the gangsters in the market have to take care of it.
Business taxes must not be defaulted on weekdays, and temporary government tax increases must not be defaulted, regardless of compensation.
You have to take care of the above-mentioned aspects of making money, which means, boy, I have too many other people’s stocks, 20% is a lot, you have to accept my favor.
Zhao Lie smiled when he heard this.
This statement was so familiar.
Not only one person in later generations mentioned it in the shopping mall, but he even said it himself.
In the era of officialdom, businessmen all had the same worries.
If they wanted to expand their business, it was impossible not to deal with officials.
Otherwise, how could they do it?
A big opportunity comes, but once you get involved with an official, it is a time bomb.
You can only pray that nothing happens to this person, and that if something happens, someone will not use it to hurt you, otherwise your family will be destroyed if you are not careful.
When I was in a pharmaceutical company, I couldn't avoid interacting with the health bureau and hospital leaders.
Otherwise, I would be sold to the devil.
Back then, I was more cautious and tried my best to tie up the loose ends to avoid being implicated.
What Lao Meng said today stirred up memories of his past.
"You can't retreat.
If you retreat, your family's wealth and glory will be ruined immediately.
If you advance, it will be like walking on thin ice.
Once you enter the business world, you will not be able to advance or retreat."
Zhao Lie summarized Meng Guangshan's words.
Meng Guangshan was extremely surprised.
Is this what a kid under twenty said?
This should be what a veteran who has been in the business world for decades said.
Zhao Lie was very satisfied with the surprise shown by Meng Guangshan and Zhang Ting.
"Think of my China for thousands of years.
It is my merchants who have cultivated acres of land and circulated species.
I have cultivated iron tools.
It is my merchants who mine and smelt.
It is the rations of all the people.
It is my merchants who have colluded with what is available so that the abundance of rice does not hurt farmers and the shortage of rice does not kill people.
The seasons change. , we improved the equipment, weaved cloth and sold clothes, transportation in distant places was not easy, we improved the carriages and horses, water The road is difficult and dangerous, and we have to improve our boats and turn the chasm into a smooth road.
We also have to support a group of subordinates, helpers, and servants.
We also have to pay taxes and raise funds, and manage the officialdom.
However, for thousands of years, we have been called profiteers.
Farmers, industrialists and merchants sit at the bottom of the pile, the humblest generation."
Zhao Lie summed up the tragic role of merchants for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, China has collectively referred to productive merchants and circulating merchants as merchants.
Big profiteers are doing their best to insult others.
They don’t start early without profit and hoard.
Even the great writer Bai Juyi came out to join in the fun.
Merchants are so profit-oriented that they clean up other businesses.

Poems like this label businessmen as extremely profit-oriented.
They are really immortal for thousands of years.
Damn it, Mr.
Bai can openly receive food and salary and collect offerings in private.
If the businessman does not make a small amount of money, let him starve at home.
Die.
This kind of people can be said to be the representatives of the gentry class for thousands of years.
They curse profiteers in their mouths.
In private, they either use endless corruption methods in their official positions, or they impose heavy rents on tenant farmers or even force them to die.
They are extremely despicable and shameless.
Meng Guangshan and Zhang Ting's eyes were red.
These words were too insightful and too appealing to the appetite of hard-working businessmen like us.
To be called a giant businessman means to show authority to subordinates and servants.
In terms of status, they are the fourth oldest in the country.
Who can Anyone who feels aggrieved can curse, anyone with power can blackmail someone, and anyone with a knife or gun can rob someone.
Meng Guangshan suddenly realized that his status was so low.
"However, the countries in the West were founded on commerce.
Merchants opened mines, factories, and shops, and formed fleets to exchange what they had, until they went abroad to sell goods and support a large number of subordinates.
Merchants paid taxes to the monarch, and the monarch was responsible for their safety.
The monarch had to raise taxes with the merchants.
Negotiation."
Zhao Lie really envies Yingge now.
England, the rise of England is the victory of capitalism by big businessmen and big capitalists.
It has greatly restricted the supreme and unrestrained royal power in the past, abolished the prerogatives of the king in the past, established a contract system, and miraculously obtained Balance was achieved and a constitutional monarchy was established.
In the end, it quickly surpassed countries such as Spain and Portugal and became an empire on which the sun never sets.
However, other countries such as France, Russia, Spain, and Portugal are still stuck in the mud of royal power.
The king's whim can make big businessmen fly.
The jump is in a hectic state, and the order and continuity of operations are There is no way to talk about consistency.
The tax items and tax rates are constantly changing, which makes their operations suffer greatly.
It affects the entire business environment and the taxes paid, which ultimately delays the improvement of national power.
When they finally break free from the shackles of the royal power, The British Empire has long been wiped out.
"Sir, there is such a country in this world."
Meng Guangshan really didn't believe it, it was too subversive of Meng Da merchant's decades of understanding.
He thought to himself, boy, you are not just entertaining me.
"This is not a lie.
Dongzhu Meng will know it when he meets the Franji merchant."
Zhao Lie was not afraid of his asking.
Great changes in Western Europe were about to begin, and the spirit of contract was recognized in Western Europe.
The great upheaval of the bourgeoisie has come.
Zhao Lie also urgently needs a large number of businessmen around him, so Sui Feng can take advantage of them.
Changing this era by yourself is a fool's errand.
Only by establishing a new class can we do it.
Today, I want to plant this seed in Lao Meng’s heart, and it will definitely take root and sprout.
Meng Guangshan was sleepless all night.
What Zhao Lie said made him sleepless all night.

When would the Ming Dynasty be able to have such a day?
Is it true?
Zhao Lie actually slept very well.
After working hard every day, he slept very sweetly every night.
But he didn't know that a piece of cheating during the day kept Lao Meng awake.

I will never lie in the middle of the night.
We will wait and see
