Zhao Liben was good at seducing, but Zhao Hao was still ignorant.

The old man could only reluctantly accept that his grandson had not yet opened his mind, and turned the conversation to secondary matters.

"What's going on with your Raushzi Jiangnan Company? Last time I was in Yangzhou, why didn't I get angry? ”

"Hey, in order to reassure Mr. Wu at that time, I made up such a name randomly." I only heard Zhao Hao reply with a smile: "But after going around in Taicang and Wuxi, I also pulled a few shareholders, so it's not a lie now." ”

"How much money did you fool?" Zhao Liben asked curiously.

"The two royal families each have 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stone of grain. The Hua family has 150,000 taels of silver and 80,000 stone of grain. Zhao Hao pinched his fingers and counted: "Sister Xue Ying came up with a million taels, but I'm worried that other shareholders will have opinions, so I only need half of her." ”

"My obedient ......," Zhao Liben almost didn't stare down. You empty gloves white wolf, and you will bring in 1.2 million taels of silver at once? ”

Su Song rice is expensive, and in the season of green and yellow, the rice family is never less than two taels and one stone. Wang Jiahua's family only used two taels of silver as the price, and Zhao Hao did not suffer at all.

"Grandpa's words are wrong." Zhao Hao said: "How can it be a white wolf with empty gloves?" The grandson uses the goodwill accumulated in the past. ”

"Goodwill, what's that?" Zhao Liben was puzzled.

Zhao Gongzi patted his chest and didn't speak.

"Uh...... Isn't that still an empty glove white wolf? Zhao Liben laughed.

"Grandpa insists on saying this, and I can't help it." Zhao Hao helplessly spread his hands.

"It's a skill to be able to get it." Zhao Liben smiled, took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Hao, and said, "There are still people chasing after you for money." ”

"What is this?"

"When I passed through Yangzhou on the last trip, the salt merchants begged to partner with you, but you didn't agree. This time, they gave all the money directly to grandpa. ”

"And people are afraid that you will not agree, so they have set up documents to promise that they will neither interfere in the company's business, nor sell their shares, but only follow you to share dividends." Zhao Liben handed Zhao Hao another envelope.

"Why don't you take someone to play?"

"So good?" Zhao Gongzi opened his mouth in surprise.

"Their money is washed in by the sea, and they can't spend it, and they have nowhere else to go. Rather than have mold growing in the cellar, I might as well leave it here to lay the cubs. Zhao Liben smiled and said: "Look, how generous people are." ”

Zhao Hao opened the first envelope and saw that there was a thick stack of tickets, counting to one million taels. "How many are these?"

"There are five in total, and one is 200,000 taels." Zhao Liben smiled and said: "There are three other merchants who are not our Hui merchants, so I don't take them to play...... Do you think this should happen? ”

"Yes, everyone has done this, how can there be any reason why it shouldn't?" Zhao Hao groaned slightly:

"It is said that now that Jiangnan Company occupies Xishan, the stock price should rise. But since people are so sincere, and it is grandpa's face, then it is still counted according to one or two. ”

"Hey, hey, bright! He is worthy of being grandpa's good grandson! Zhao Liben was very happy, he could be regarded as having completed his mission, and he had an explanation when he went back.

Zhao Hao opened another envelope and saw that there were five notes inside, to the effect that each family invested 200,000 taels of silver to Zhao Hao, and the shares were taken care of by him, and the profits and losses were shared, and he would never take the initiative to withdraw.

To put it bluntly, the salt merchants regarded this as a financial investment, and did not see it as much of a big deal at all......

Come to think of it, 200,000 taels is really nothing to a rich salt merchant.

~~

In fact, even if the salt merchants did not give Zhao Hao full voting rights, Zhao Gongzi would take the initiative to reduce his shareholding to less than fifty percent. In this way, it can be shown that Jiangnan Company is not his alone, and it is good to block the mouths of Youyou.

In fact, Zhao Gongzi did not have to be so careful, and in this era there was no rule that the relatives of officials were not allowed to do business in the place where they worked.

But be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, who knows if this one will be used to attack his father and son in the future?

Therefore, he will not even serve as the chairman of Jiangnan Company, and is ready to ask Huacha Hua Taishi to act as a mascot.

Zhao Liben would not interfere in these specific and micro things, he only focused on the general strategic direction.

Taking a sip of tea, the old man talked about the situation of the eight families.

"Last year, they didn't find the golden seal of the Pure Sea King, so they wanted to say that they would re-tell the number and cast another one."

Zhao Liben gloated and smiled: "But as the old man expected, how can it be so simple?" Previously, the Lu family relied on the power of Lu Bing's father and son and monopolized a two-percent share, and each family felt that they had suffered a loss. Now that the Lu family has lost, how can these two be divided? Will everyone divide it equally, or will whoever succeed as the king of the Pure Sea take the lion's share? The eight families are fighting endlessly. ”

"Of course." Zhao Hao nodded, and continued to serve tea to his grandfather: "I know that there is no hope for the position, and I must hope to divide it equally." A strong party like the Xu family naturally wants to monopolize it. ”

"And in addition to the battle for a share on land, there are more troublesome problems at sea." Zhao Liben then explained to his grandson:

"Originally, Wang Zhi's Wufeng fleet controlled the shipping of the two oceans in the southeast and southeast, and the Jiu family could only sell goods to his family, so at that time, the power and profits were in Wang Zhi."

The nine families were naturally dissatisfied with this, and united to find a way to get rid of Wang Zhi. After Wang's death, his fleet was torn apart, attacking each other, and maritime trade was completely destroyed. ”

"The nine families used both soft and hard, and promoted the Lu family as the new King of the Pure Sea with Wang Zhi's five fleets. The King of the Pure Sea is the speaker of all fleets in the sea of Zhejiang. ”

"The goods of the Nine Great Families are distributed to the five fleets by the King of the Pure Sea. Then the five fleets will sell the goods to the two oceans, make money and then pay the King of the Pure Sea, and finally the King of the Pure Sea will distribute it to the nine families, so that the sea trade will be completed. ”

Zhao Hao nodded, and said with some schadenfreude: "Once the King of the Pure Sea dies, the sea will definitely be more chaotic than the land." ”

"That's nature. Most of the families on the land hold their own identities, and they are still related to their relatives, so it is not good to completely tear their faces. But the sea is already the weak, and those fleets are maritime merchants or pirates? No one can say. Zhao Liben also smiled:

"Therefore, there is a greater need for order at sea, and once there is no order, the fleets will immediately be chaotic. Without the Pure Sea King, there would be no one to supply them, and they would not know who to pay for the sale of the goods. All at once trade was cut off. ”

"Those maritime merchants were originally the masters who dared to spend money, and after half a year of income, some people went back to the old way, became pirates and began to rob. I heard that the Taicang royal family was robbed of two batches of goods in the first half of the year. ”

"Oh." Zhao Hao suddenly, no wonder Wang Shimao sweated when he mentioned this stubble, it turned out that it was because of a big loss.

"The Xiang family simply took the opportunity to eat a fleet, wanting to produce and sell it themselves, and not play with everyone. As a result, the other families quit, and on the first day of the first month, they set fire and burned down more than 100 boats of the Xiang family. The Xiang family naturally wanted to take revenge, and it took months to toss and die, and it took hundreds of deaths to stop. ”
