Time passed slowly, but the people represented by the Hong family kept sweeping the goods in the market, but to the surprise of Hong Anque, the shopkeepers and others were that the goods in the market did not show any signs of decreasing, and in the afternoon, the more than 300,000 taels of silver prepared by Hong Anque, and the other five maritime merchants had already spent almost the same.

"Hong Gongzi, this is not right, it stands to reason that if we sweep the goods until now, their inventory should have been exhausted long ago, why is there still stock now?" The first to notice that something was wrong was the shopkeeper Qiu, who had been immersed in the bazaar for most of his life, although he was very fat, but his vigilance was the strongest, and he was the first to notice that something was wrong.

Hong Anque's face changed for a moment, and then he slowly shook his head and said: "This is not certain, after all, no one has seen their warehouse with their own eyes when they slammed the door, and the so-called inventory warning is just our speculation, even if they still have inventory, it is just a slight deviation in our speculation, which is not surprising." ”

"Well, that's true."

The shopkeepers around them also nodded frequently, this kind of thing is unpredictable, they are not roundworms in Yang Feng's stomach, no one knows how much inventory the other party has, everything is just their expectation, and it is normal to have some differences.

Shopkeeper Qiu did not give up, but continued to ask: "What about tomorrow, will we continue to sweep the goods tomorrow?" ”

Hong Anque's face immediately turned cold, he looked at Shopkeeper Qiu and asked lightly: "What, Shopkeeper Qiu, what do you mean, do you still think that this son is not worthy of taking everyone to continue to work, or Shopkeeper Qiu plans to quit?" ”

"Childe, you have wronged the villain, even if the villain eats the leopard's gall, he will not dare to question you." Shopkeeper Qiu hurriedly waved his hand again and again, Hong Anque's representative is now the Hong family, how dare he offend him as a small shopkeeper.

He lowered his head and arched his hand with a bitter face: "Childe Mingjian, the villain is just a little person who eats in the bazaar, this is a small profit, naturally it is not as good as your old man, but these days of tossing down is to toss a little bit of the villain's old book to the almost, if you toss it again, the little old man can only take the whole family to drink the northwest wind." ”

Hearing this, the other shopkeepers around also nodded in agreement. Although these people are all relying on the six major maritime merchants behind them, and this time they also jointly funded the Daming Royal Commercial Bank, but in the past few days, each of them has sold 20,000 or 30,000 taels and 70,000 taels more.

Seeing that these shopkeepers all put on a painful look, Hong Anqi couldn't help but get angry in his heart, and sneered: "Okay, wow, since you all say that you can't stand it anymore, then you will quit, and the next thing will be done by the six of us ourselves, but according to the agreement we made at the beginning, since you have withdrawn, then you will not be able to enjoy the benefits afterwards." ”

According to the original agreement, when the Daming Royal Commercial Bank was swept up, the six major maritime merchants and the merchants in the bazaar jointly contributed according to the proportion, and the difference was only a matter of how much, and afterwards they also enjoyed the benefits according to the proportion of their contributions. Moreover, the agreement also stipulates that if someone withdraws halfway, the silver used in advance must not be withdrawn until the fact, and only the principal can be recovered, and the benefit after the fact is not at all.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qiu's fat face trembled. Not to mention the benefits they can get if they can ban the sea again, let's just say that the silver they earned after eating these goods from the Daming Royal Commercial House is not a small amount, if it is all gone, Shopkeeper Qiu even has the heart to jump into the river.

Shopkeeper Qiu glanced around, and found that everyone was all twitching at the corners of their mouths, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "Gongzi Hong is serious, since the villain has decided to follow Gongzi to deal with the Daming Royal Commercial Bank, there is naturally no reason to give up halfway, since Gongzi said so, the villain will stick to it even if he grits his teeth, and the villain will go back to raise money later, and he will not stop if he will defeat the Daming Royal Commercial Bank!" ”

"Oh...... It is rare for the shopkeeper Qiu to have such determination, but it is a little surprising to this son. Hong Anque sneered in his heart and turned his gaze to everyone: "What about you, what do you think, do you want to quit?" ”

The shopkeepers present saw that the shopkeeper Qiu was all admitted, of course he would not be a bird, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Of course not, the villain is willing to advance and retreat together with the son and will never regret it." ”

"I hope what you're saying is true." Hong Anqi snorted coldly, his gloomy eyes swept over everyone, and warned: "Everyone, as the so-called bow is not turned back, since we have already done this matter, then there is no reason to give up halfway, you also know that if we retreat now, it will be enough to lose a large amount of silver, and more importantly, what will the government think of us, how will we get along with the government in the future, have you thought about this problem?" ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but froze, and they immediately thought of the serious consequences.

Before that, the strike was one of the most important means for them to compete with the government, as long as they sacrificed this big killing weapon, those magistrates would have to weigh it even if they were reluctant, if they lost this time, the old fritters of those officialdom would immediately perceive that the strike could no longer be a condition to threaten them, so that they really had no means to restrain the government in the future.

The thought of this consequence made everyone shudder.

Shopkeeper Qiu gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, the villain will raise money immediately after he goes back, even if he smashes it with silver, he will knock down the Daming Royal Commercial Bank!" ”

After hearing everyone's statement, Hong Anqi laughed: "Okay...... With your support, I think that even if Yang Feng has three heads and six arms, he will definitely not be our opponent. ”

That night, after Hong Anqi returned home, he was called to the room by Hong Futong again.

After Hong Anque finished reporting today's events, Hong Futong rarely praised: "Anque, you did a good job today, those people were originally a group of wall grass, they fell wherever the wind blew, if there is no strong means to suppress them, these people may have to retreat." ”

Hong Anque's face was solemn: "What my father said is right, but what makes the child feel strange is that according to our observation a few days ago, the goods they left in Xiamen are only enough for them to support for three days, and today is the fourth day, where did they get these goods?" If you don't understand this, the child really has no bottom in his heart. ”

"Idiot!" Hong Futong suddenly scolded: "Things have come to this point, whether it is our family or the other five, and even those who boycott with us, there is no way out." Believe it or not, if we lose this battle, without Yang Feng's action, Xia Dayan will be the first to pounce and tear us apart. ”

Hong Anqi stopped talking, but they offended Xia Dayan a few days ago. Since ancient times, there have been poor people in China who do not fight with the rich, and if the people do not fight with the officials, they are a businessman, but they dare to openly threaten the governor of a province, but all officials who have a little temper can't stand it, the reason why Xia Dayan didn't move them before is just because there is no way to take them, if they lose this time, after the strike, which has been used by businessmen to threaten the government in the past hundred years, fails, if Xia Dayan can still bear it, then he will be the governor of a province in vain.

Hong Anqi asked Ai Ai: "Since my father had already expected such consequences, why did he support his child to get on the bar with Yang Feng?" ”

Hong Futong snorted coldly: "Hmph...... If the forbidden sea cannot continue, our six maritime merchants will decline sooner or later, in this case, it is better to give it a go, maybe we can fight for the future of a hundred years. In the past four days, the six of us have spent more than one million taels of silver alone, and it is not for this reason, otherwise you think that the other five are fools, and they are willing to throw a large sum of silver taels to go crazy with us. ”

"I see!" Hong Anque's sudden realization and understanding why no matter how he fought with the people of the Daming Royal Commercial House in the past few days, as long as the silver was about to run out, the other six would be transferred out of their own treasury without saying a word, so that Hong Anque never had to worry about the silver, it turned out that the root was here.

wanted to fight here, a trace of anger flashed in Hong Anque's eyes: "Since if you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, you may still have a way to live, then let's fight with them to the end!" ”

"Right...... This is my son of Hong Futong. Hong Futong laughed: "You can do things with confidence in the past few days, with your father and those old immortals sitting behind, you don't have to worry about someone stumbling on you." ”

"Understood...... Thank you, Father! Hong Anque's solemn kowtow to Hong Futong.

This can be called the most serious trade war since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, since the start of the war not only attracted the attention of the entire Fujian, but also over time even all parts of the south of the Yangtze River and the capital were alarmed, everyone's eyes were on Fujian, and finally set their eyes on Xiamen Mansion, which can be said to be the first place where the trade war was launched.

Day 5, Day 6, Day 7......

When the trade war was on the ninth day, the six maritime merchants had invested more than six million dollars in this invisible battlefield, and the average silver invested by each was more than one million taels.

"Hongyi Gong, you give your little nephew an accurate word, how long will we have to talk to Yang Feng?" Ning Yao, the head of the Ning family, said to Hongfu with a solemn expression: "This is the ninth day, and each of our families has smashed out at least one million taels of silver, and now the silver vault in the little nephew's mansion is so empty that it can run a mouse." ”

Hong Futong snorted lightly, "Each of your families has made silver, is it possible that our Hong family is throwing stones?" ”

Hearing Hong Futong's unkind tone, Ning Yao said with a bitter face: "Hongyi Gong, the Ning family's background is not as solid as the Hong family, we have smashed so much silver these days, we really can't hold on, seeing that the cash in our hands is about to be spent, what do you say I, can you not be in a hurry?" ”

"Yes, Hongyi Gong, it was originally said that it would be seen in three or five days, but now it has been nine days, but the goods of the Daming Royal Commercial Bank still seem to be endless, when is this a head?" Several heads of the family next to him also complained.

To tell the truth, they are not the owners who have never seen the silver, but these days the silver has been spent like flowing water, and they are about to spend all the cash in their hands, but the other party still puts on a posture that I will sell as much as you buy, which makes them all a little anxious.

"If you don't have any money, you can borrow it, and you can even use the mortgage of your family's property to exchange it for silver, all in all, you can't back down halfway." Hong Futong stood up, and his cloudy eyes showed a stunning light: "Why don't you understand, we have no way out, if we can't defeat the Ming Royal Commercial Bank and let the government know our power, our six families will die and have no place to be buried, do you understand?" ”

Everyone is silent, they can be the heads of each family, and they are naturally shrewd and capable people. It is very clear that once the magic weapon of the market strike is punctured, then they will become a harmless fat sheep in the eyes of the government, and the officials who were polite and amiable to them in the past will turn into hungry wolves in the shortest possible time and pounce on them and tear them apart.

"The owner...... The owner ...... "The treasurer of Qiu Da rushed to Yang Feng's mansion to report: "As you expected, those people have begun to look for people to borrow money and even sell their properties, it seems that as you said, they can't hold it anymore." ”

"Of course!" Yang Feng said: "Even if the six families have silver, but the cash on hand is not unlimited, we have knocked them so much silver these days, even if they are rich, they can't stand it, so borrowing is an inevitable thing." ”

The shopkeeper raised his thumb in admiration: "The owner...... You're too powerful, high...... It's really high! ”

"Hahaha......" Yang Feng couldn't help laughing, but he just laughed a few times but felt that something was wrong, why is this line so familiar......

Another five days passed, and the bazaar was still full of goods from the Ming Royal Merchants, and at this time, even the most stupid people knew that in this business war, the six maritime merchants lost, completely lost.

In the past half a month, they have bought nearly 10 million taels of goods at a price three times higher than that on the market, which means that the wealth accumulated by these six maritime merchants over the past hundred years has all turned into piles of goods. What's worse is that they bought these goods for three times more than the market price, and everyone knows what that means.

"It's over...... The six major maritime merchants who have been entrenched in Fujian for hundreds of years are really coming to an end! ”
