The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 500 New Business Experience (Monthly Ticket Request!)

When everyone in the courtyard was distracted, there was still someone who did not forget his original intention. He walked up to Mr. Wang, the only calm person, and greeted him.

Then he asked, "What do you think about the adoption we mentioned earlier?

We are all family members. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, and the fat water should not flow to outsiders' fields."

This person was none other than Mr. Wang's cousin Wang Kang, the eldest son of this generation.

If it were a few days ago, Mr. Wang would still be troubled by this matter and Wang Kang.

But now "the thought of surrendering to the enemy has arisen, and the world is wide open."

"Don't worry about my properties, my relatives." Mr. Wang replied indifferently.

At this time, Zheng Da Chaofeng also came over and said earnestly: "As a fellow Huizhou native and colleague, I would like to give some advice to Brother Wang.

It is a fact that there is no successor to your Wang's Salt Industry, and it is also a fact that you are over 50 years old now.

If you don't decide on an heir, it will only arouse the covetousness of others and bring disaster.

Faced with such an obvious situation, I really don't understand, Brother Wang, what are you hesitating about?"

Someone next to him said: "Zheng Da Chaofeng's words are reasonable and fair!"

Someone from the Western Merchants in the distance shouted mischievously: "Zheng Chaofeng might as well say it clearly, who is coveting Wang's Salt Industry?"

Zheng Da Chaofeng did not retort, but just glared at the Western Merchants fiercely.

Although that person robbed Wang Yuanwai's only daughter, and although that person's intention to embezzle Wang's Salt Industry was known to everyone, can that person's name be casually said?

"Alas!" Mr. Wang opened his mouth, hesitated, lowered his head, and sighed deeply.

Zheng Dachaofeng pointed to other salt merchants around him and said very proudly: "We are all your fellow countrymen, we are the ones you can rely on!

The business community of our Hui people can rise in various places by helping each other! What difficulties do you have? You might as well make it clear."

Several Hui merchants nearby cheered together: "Zheng Dachaofeng said well!"

At this time, Xu Lili, the fourth son of Xu, also stood up and said: "Yesterday I heard from the commander Wan in the Anti-Smuggling Bureau that they are investigating Wang's salt industry. This is the method of some people.

Therefore, it can be known that Mr. Wang must have been threatened and intimidated, so you are so embarrassed, right or not?"

Zheng Dachaofeng said to Mr. Wang again: "You should be familiar with the identity of Mr. Xu Si. I have heard that if you really encounter difficulties, just tell me, and Mr. Xu will definitely help you solve your problems. "

Mr. Wang seemed to have his eyes brightened and asked, "Is it true?"

Xu Lili promised, "We are all from the same hometown, and it is right to lend a hand. I can't just watch you being threatened and do nothing."

Mr. Wang immediately said, "Mr. Xu is so kind! I really encountered some difficulties!

Now all the salt permits in my hands are permanently leased to Lin's Salt Industry!

I wonder if Mr. Xu can help me recover those salt permits? I solemnly promise that I will reward you handsomely! "

Xu Lili: ""

Yesterday, Commander Wan treated himself as a fool. Does Mr. Wang treat himself as a fool today?

Or did Mr. Wang really suffer great coercion and had no choice but to "rent" all the permits to Lin Tailai?

When Mr. Xu was still wondering whether Mr. Wang was acting, the other salt merchants around were in an uproar!

Not only the Huizhou merchants, but also the Western merchants who were watching the excitement on the sidelines were greatly shocked!

Originally, the Lin family and the Wang family controlled a lot of salt permits, and they were both ranked high in the salt industry.

Now, no matter what method these two families adopt, as long as they merge, it will be a major earthquake in the industry.

The scale of these two companies after the merger has far exceeded that of any other salt merchant. It must be the largest private salt group since the establishment of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Bureau.

The emergence of a salt group of this scale, and with a deep government background, will have an all-round impact on the entire industry.

"Wang Qing! How can you do this!" Even the leader of the Huizhou merchants, Zheng Dachaofeng, lost his composure and subconsciously accused loudly.

What he was most worried about was that the Lin family salt industry would annex the Wang family salt industry, so he had been mobilizing "fellowship" to prevent it.

It was not just him who thought so, this was the common wish of all salt merchants.

In the end, the worst thing still happened, and it came unexpectedly!

Wang Qing, this bastard! He didn't even say hello!

If you still want to stay in this circle, don't you think about the future, don't you think about your descendants!

By the way, Wang Qing has no son, no wonder he has no bottom line!

At this time, a group of Huizhou salt merchants began to follow the rhythm of Zheng Dachaofeng and shouted at Wang Yuanwai.

"Traitor!" "Get out!" "Shameless!"

Cousin Wang Kang was so angry that he trembled and pointed at Wang Yuanwai and cursed: "Prodigal! Prodigal!"

The overwhelming abuse with Huizhou dialect accents echoed in the courtyard, and even the Western merchants on the other side put away their thoughts of watching the fun and looked serious.

The anger of Huizhou salt merchants is also justified. The market share is limited. If outsiders take one more point, their own people will take one less point!

As an important member of the Huizhou business gang, you, Wang Qing, also received help from your fellow countrymen!

Now you easily sell the huge amount of nest capital of tens of thousands of yin to outsiders, creating a super powerful competitor. This is betrayal!

The most important thing is that even if you don't want to do it anymore, you should give priority to transferring the nest capital to your fellow villagers! This is the meaning of unity among fellow villagers!

Standing on the opposite side of everyone, Mr. Wang suddenly found that he seemed to be a villain who successfully aroused public anger.

But for some reason, he felt a little happy.

You really don't know if you don't experience it yourself. Is this why Lin Tailai always likes to put on a villain's face?

The leader of the Huizhou merchants, Zheng Dachaofeng, forced himself to calm down and said to Mr. Wang bluntly: "You are no longer suitable to be here, please go out!"

"Why?" Mr. Wang asked stupidly.

He remembered that Lin Tailai liked to play stupid at this time, so he continued to imitate.

Zheng Da Chaofeng suppressed his anger and said: "You gave up your capital and are no longer qualified to join the Salt Merchants Guild.

And the Guild is also a place for industry public discussion. You have already caused public outrage. How can you still stay here?

Don't force me to say more unpleasant words. If you still have a trace of shame, leave on your own initiative!"

For some reason, Wang Yuanwai did not answer or move, just stood there in a daze.

Zheng Chaofeng: "???"

Wang Qing, why don't you get out quickly? What's the point of standing there in a daze?

"Sorry!" Wang Yuanwai came back to his senses and said, "I was just thinking about what Lin Jiuyuan would say if he stood here."

A tall salt merchant in the crowd cursed, "You lowly person! You even sold your soul to Lin Jiuyuan!

You are not worthy of being with us! You are only asking for trouble if you stay here!"

Wang Yuanwai, who started from scratch, was not lacking in courage and shouted, "So what if you sold it to Lin Jiuyuan? Who else dares to stand up and drive me away?"

Four hot-tempered and public-spirited people immediately stood up and scolded together.

Wang Yuanwai felt that he had finally learned the essence of Lin's military tactics and caught a few fish so easily.

These five must be die-hard anti-Lin elements. Lin's Salt Group has a goal for the next expansion. It is not a dream to increase the capital from 40,000 to 80,000.

Hate Lin Tailai, understand Lin Tailai, learn from Lin Tailai, you can't really become him, you can only imitate him.

The time was almost right, and Mr. Wang pointed to the hall and said, "I can't leave! There are three seats in the middle, and there is a seat for me."

The three seats in the middle of the hall belong to the three major merchants of the Salt Industry Association, namely Lin, Zheng, and Sun.

For a moment, everyone didn't understand what Mr. Wang meant. Did he take the wrong medicine or go crazy?

Imagining Lin Tailai's demeanor, Mr. Wang stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly, "I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards.

Although there will be no Wang's Salt Industry in the future, I have joined Lin's Salt Industry and served as the chief shopkeeper.

In the future, I will be responsible for all the business of Lin's Salt Industry, and I will participate in the affairs of the Salt Industry Association as a general merchant on behalf of Lin's Salt Industry.

Do you think I am qualified to stay?"

In such a moment, all the abuse, accusations, ridicule, doubts, and criticisms immediately disappeared!

It seemed that everything that happened just now was just an illusion in the mind.

Everyone knows very well that accusing a colleague and accusing the head of Lin's Salt Industry are two different things!

Lin's Salt Industry is different from other companies in the same industry. It is the most special one and the one that is most closely connected with the government!

For example, it is not the boat crew that transports salt to Lin's Salt Industry, but the Suzhou Guard Transport Army, which are all Lin Tailai's old subordinates.

From the salt field to the checkpoints and outposts at the exit, they are now under the responsibility of Yangzhou Guard, and the commander of Yangzhou Guard is the in-law of Lin Tailai's second brother.

Not to mention that Lin Tailai's brother-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the boss of the Salt Transport Bureau.

It's okay to scold Mr. Wang, but if you scold the head of Lin's Salt Industry, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!

Otherwise, everyone just spent a lot of time talking, knowing who the mastermind is, but they didn't even dare to mention Lin Tailai's name.

Hmm? It seems that a colleague mentioned the three words "Lin Jiuyuan", this person must be in danger!

Wang Yuanwai looked around the very quiet courtyard, and all kinds of emotions arose in his heart.

These salt merchants in front of him were all colleagues, and their status was similar to his.

When he looked at these colleagues before, although their strengths were strong and weak, their status was generally equal.

Now, from the perspective of the head of Lin's Salt Industry, looking at these colleagues again, he found that they were really nothing.

Is this the feeling of the legendary official businessman? Wang Yuanwai, who has been a civilian businessman all his life, did not expect that after he was over 50 years old, he would have a new business experience and evolved from a civilian businessman to an official businessman.

It was not in vain that he sold his daughter and his soul.

However, I heard that there is another risk for official merchants, that is, the so-called political risk. If the backer falls, it will be completely out of one's control.

But it doesn't matter, I don't have a son! Let's enjoy the present first!

And I also heard that there are imperial merchants above official merchants. I wonder what kind of experience that is?

There were nearly 200 people, including salt merchants and spectators. They sat down in a daze, and then looked at the three chairs in the middle belonging to the general merchants.

Mr. Wang, no, now he should be called Wang Dazhanggui, sat in the middle with a big horse and a golden sword.

The leader of the Huizhou merchants, Zheng Zhiyan, could only sit on the side, no matter how dissatisfied or aggrieved he was.

Originally, in the Huizhou merchant system, Wang Qing's status was below Zheng Dachaofeng, and his seat was always on the side, but now Wang Qing represents Lin's Salt Industry.

At this time, everyone figured out a question, why Lin Erge, Lu Junbi and other core figures of Lin's Salt Industry did not show up today, it turned out that it was because Wang Dazhanggui represented Lin's Salt Industry.

Wang Dazhanggui smiled to Zheng Chaofeng: "I didn't participate in the previous preparations. What are you going to discuss today when the guild opens?"

Zheng Chaofeng looked at the leader of the Western Merchants, Sun Zongguan, and replied: "We are going to discuss the issue of the allocation of our salt merchants' academic records."

Wang Dazhanggui seemed to be asking for courtesy, and after asking, he didn't care about the scheduled topic at all.

He said loudly to everyone in the hall: "We have something to announce to you at Lin's Salt Industry!

Lin's Salt Industry has decided to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from all of you colleagues with all the controlled capital as collateral!

Those who are interested in this can contact me privately, and the amount, year, and interest will be discussed in detail!"

Everyone had just digested the fact that Mr. Wang became Wang Dazhangguigui, but they were shocked by the new news thrown out by Wang Dazhangguigui.

A rough idea is that the salt voucher is equivalent to hard currency. Lin's Salt Industry now controls at least 40,000 taels of voucher.

Speaking from a business perspective, if 40,000 taels of voucher are used as collateral, it is no problem to borrow 100,000 taels of silver.

It's just that Lin's Salt Industry is not an ordinary business group. It is too political. I don't know what they want to do by borrowing 100,000 taels?

Manager Wang put down the teacup and said, "Everyone, rest assured. Lin's Group has no intention of continuing to make trouble in Yangzhou.

It's just that Lin's Group is preparing to dredge the old river channel in Jiangnan so that Suzhou City can directly connect to the East China Sea by water, so it needs to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time.

With the voucher of Lin's Salt Industry, it is not impossible to pay back even 100,000 taels."

Most of the people present were businessmen. When they heard "connecting to the sea", they immediately reacted!

It is said that their salt industry has high profits, but if there is any other industry that can compare with the salt industry, it is only sea trade.

The salt industry is under strict control of the imperial court. Even if smuggling is carried out, a lot of taxes must be paid, but the sea trade does not pay taxes at all!

For example, the official regulations stipulate that Fujian can send 80 ships to sea every year, but how many ships go out to sea for smuggling, only God knows!

Compared with sea trade, salt smuggling is just a child's play!

Everyone in the hall whispered and discussed.

Manager Wang stood up, "Okay, it's getting late today, let's stop here!

If you are willing to cooperate with Lin Group in funds, please contact me privately!

There are various ways to cooperate, you can borrow money, you can invest! In addition to interest, maybe you will have the opportunity to gain the friendship of Lin Group!"

Zheng Chaofeng tried his best to maintain his presence as the leader of Huizhou merchants, and shouted: "Wait, the issue of the allocation of local school enrollment for our foreign salt merchants has not been discussed yet"

"There is no need to discuss it!" Manager Wang said without turning his head: "School affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and Lin Jiuyuan is an official of the Ministry of Rites! When he returns to the capital, he will directly get it from the Ministry of Rites!"

The fourth son Xu, who was sitting in the crowd watching the ceremony, had red eyes. Even a manager under Lin Tailai came out and asked for a business of 100,000 taels of silver.
