Zhu Xu looked at King Ping with wide eyes and said, "Uncle Huang, what are we afraid of?"
” "I'm afraid ......"
King Ping opened his mouth to say, but he was immediately stunned.
Although they are all clan vassal kings, there are many taboos, but if they do some business in private, not to mention that there is this king of letters, if they are really impeached, they really have nothing to do, and they will not be held accountable to the public.
King Ping retracted his words, moved his body and muttered to himself, "Then, it seems that we need to find some more people." ” Zhu Xu looked at Dingjun Mountain on the stage, and praised it, "This singing voice is good, if it weren't for the fact that the palace couldn't raise people, I would also like to raise a troupe." ” King Ping quickly turned his mind around, looked at Zhu Xu with a smile and said, "Come anytime, come anytime." ” Zhu Xu was talking to King Ping on this side, and Fu Tao on the other side also led people into a restaurant.
Fu Tao stiffened his face, with a cold face, not the condescending children of the family, but a condescending rejection.
Fan Jinxiong stood at the door, smiling, with an expression of 'I am a good talker' and 'everything is precious'.
However, Yang Huaizhong was calm and steady, and smiled at Fu Tao: "Fu Gongzi, please." ” Fu Tao nodded lightly, took off the hat on his head and put it on the table, his face expressionless.
But in my heart, I was muttering, 'Why does Your Highness want me to wear this hat like this?'
’ The three of them sat down separately, Yang Huaizhong looked at Fu Tao as if he was the host, and said with a smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, Fu Gongzi's demeanor is really extraordinary." ” Fu Tao sat straight, looked at Yang Huaizhong calmly and said: "There is no need to say more polite words, I know what you mean, you just tell me how you want to cooperate." ” Yang Huaizhong was stunned, turned his head to look at Fan Jinxiong, he didn't expect that Fu Tao would be so direct, and he didn't want any foreplay to greet him.
Fan Jinxiong smiled heartily, looked at Fu Tao and said: "Fu Gongzi is fast-talking, no wonder he can make such a big business in a short period of time, presumably, Fu Gongzi also wants to go further, right?"
” Fu Tao picked up the teacup, poured water for himself, and said indifferently: "Go on, I hope you are not here to waste my time." ” Fan Jinxiong squinted at Fu Tao, and saw that his eyes were calm, and there was indeed impatience on his face, so he asked straight to the point, "Master Fu, how much can you do in Caoyun?"
” Fu Tao took a sip of tea, looked up at Fan Jinxiong and said, "Half of the ship listens to me." ” The meaning of Fu Tao's words is very clear, if you can master half of the ships, then let alone a series of gateway wharves along the road.
Fan Jinxiong naturally understood very well, stared at Fu Tao, and pondered his words: "Fu Gongzi, presumably the three shopkeepers have also reported to you, our Jin people have done a lot of business, our Fan family has 3,000 acres of tea alone, and there are also precious medicinal materials, silk and satin, rice and flour, precious antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., as long as the business makes money, we will do ......."
The corners of Fu Tao's mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sneer, and he said disdainfully in his tone, "Tea, you have always bought low and sold high, and it is shoddy."
Most of you got the medicinal herbs from Liaodong.
Silk and satin, rice, flour, money and grain, antique calligraphy and paintings are mostly from Jiannu, I know your business, there is no need to say so clean. ” Fan Jinxiong's face stiffened, and then he looked at Fu Tao and said with a smile: "Since Fu Gongzi is so clear, then Fan will save some tongue, I don't know what Fu Gongzi thinks about our cooperation?"
” Fu Tao's face remained unchanged, but he secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough, as His Highness said, the methods of Jin Shang are not ordinary, and several conversations seem to be pressing him and guiding the conversation." ’ He looked up at Fan Jinxiong, then at Yang Huaizhong, and said lightly, "I hope you don't waste my time." ” Fan Jinxiong took a deep breath and said decisively: "Master Fu, then, how much influence can you influence over there in Zhang and Jiakou?"
” Fu Tao showed a look of confidence on his face, and said: "My father is in charge, and in addition, Lord Luo of Jinyiwei has a great relationship with my father, so it is not difficult to do something." ” Fan Jinxiong heard Fu Tao's words, nodded and said: "Fu Gongzi, in fact, there are three places we want to cooperate with you, one is your Huimin Chamber of Commerce, we are very interested in the things sold inside, one is Caoyun, we need to be exempted from inspection, and the other is Zhang and Jiakou, our goods need to be sold through there." ” Fu Tao's eyes flashed with a smile, and he motioned to Fan Jinxiong to continue with an expressionless face.
Fan Jinxiong glanced at him and said in a negotiating tone: "Fu Gongzi, Huimin Chamber of Commerce, we hope for a lower purchase price."
Caoyun, if you can provide us with a ship guide or transport for us, we are willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver for each trip.
Zhang, Jiakou, for each batch of goods, we are willing to give you a percent. ” Fu Tao took another sip of the teacup, with a hint of disgust on his face, and said indifferently, "Only like this?"
” Fan Jinxiong was slightly stunned, looked at him and said, "Then, what does Fu Gongzi think?"
” Fu Tao said in an unquestionable and uncompromising tone, "My idea is that you should set up a chamber of commerce, don't scatter the sand, and the future business, whether it is from the Southern Sea, or with Jiannu, or your own, must be included."
The only one I can work with is this chamber of commerce.
In and out of the silver two must go to my bank.
Only in this way can my other chambers of commerce make it convenient for you. ” Fan Jinxiong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately tightened his brows.
Yang Huaizhong next to him also looked surprised when he heard this, but his heart was pounding.
He has always felt a headache for the cooperation between the people of the mountain, and if they can really join forces, it will be very beneficial.
Fu Tao didn't give Fan Jinxiong time to think, and said in a harder tone: "You have no choice, either cooperate with me, or just wait for the loss to go bankrupt."
You have also seen that the party struggle in the imperial court is becoming more and more intense, and the more intolerable it is to treat the Jin merchants and Jiannu, especially when Sun Ge returns to Beijing, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will start to clean you up. ” This sentence made Fan Jinxiong's face completely gloomy, which was also what he was worried about.
In his opinion, whether it is to rectify Caoyun, or to strictly control Zhang and Jiakou, the fortresses of Mongolia and Guhu are a series of means for the imperial court to curb the Jin people, and perhaps, the next step is to deal with them and these Jin merchants.
Fan Jinxiong looked at Fu Tao with a solemn face, "Fu Gongzi, can you really guarantee that if we set up a chamber of commerce, the imperial court can let us go?"
” Fu Tao showed a faint smile in his eyes and said, "Shopkeeper Fan is not clear, what about Shopkeeper Yang?"
My business, which yamen dares to move?
” Yang Huaizhong remembered the robbery of the imperial court the year before last, looked at Fan Jinxiong, and nodded silently.
Fan Jinxiong gritted his teeth, his face twitched, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Master Fu, I'll go back and discuss, I believe there should be no problem." ”
