Zhang Tianbao played with the wine glass in his hand, glanced at the maritime merchants around him, and said with a look of victory: "We want to make a deal with Zhen Lang, the business mode of Zuixianlou is good, but there are not many Zuixianlou in other places over the years, such as Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou, etc., these places are places where business and trade wealth gather, if Zhen Lang is willing, we can help Zhen Lang open Zuixianlou all over the Jiangnan, how about this deal?" ”

Very tempting indeed, a big pie!

As a businessman, I don't want to spread my business all over Datang, but this is just thinking about it in a dream, not to mention the problem of funds, even if there are not enough people, and every local force is complicated, and if you want to take the liberty of intervening, it is equivalent to competing for jobs with local forces, and the conflict between the two sides is an inevitable result.

"Thank you Master Zhang for your kindness! I don't have this idea now, I have to eat the food in one bite, the road has to walk step by step, if I eat too much, I will break my belly, and if I walk fast, I will fall, I still understand this truth! ”

Zhen Qian did not hesitate to veto Zhang Tianbao's proposal, when he was a little white, he would not believe that Zhang Tianbao suddenly showed kindness, so naturally he would not fall for such a fool.

Zhang Tianbao frowned, thinking that he would make a mistake and put forward a bunch of demands, and then the two sides began to grind their teeth, and after a period of seesaw, they found a condition that was acceptable to both parties, but they definitely didn't expect to be vetoed by Zhen Qian.

The faces of the other maritime merchants were a little unbearable, and the silk wholesaler Gao Haipi smiled and said: "Zhen Lang can think clearly, this opportunity is rare, we people are also considered to have a head and face in Jiangnan, and many restaurants want to find such an opportunity, I am afraid that there is no such benefit, don't regret it!" ”

Zhen Qian arched his hand towards Zhang Tianbao and said, "If Master Zhang is for this matter, please forgive me for not being able to do anything?" After saying that, when he saw that it was not early, he wanted to get up and leave.

Zhang Tianbao hurriedly stopped: "Zhen Lang, don't be anxious, sit down and speak slowly if you have something to say!" ”

Zhen Qian didn't want to go like this, the reason why he came to see Zhang Tianbao today, but he came with something, so he naturally didn't want to make things stiff, so he pushed the boat down and sat down again, and kept silent about cooperation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhang Tianbao called for singing and dancing again, and while enjoying the singing and dancing performances, he talked with Zhen Qian about the customs and customs of the north, but he said some overseas anecdotes.

"Master Zhang is still an elegant person, the folk customs and customs of various regions around the Tang Dynasty are different, and the meaning and form of singing and dancing are naturally different!"

"Zhen Lang still has research on the singing and dancing of various ethnic groups?"

Zhen Qian just casually agreed, such an elegant artistic act has never been touched in eight lifetimes, naturally he will not put a green onion in his nose and pretend to be an elephant, looking left and right while speaking, seeing Zhang Liang pestering Yuerong to discuss singing and dancing with relish, he couldn't wait to pull Yuerong out of the door to talk, he almost laughed out loud in his heart, and gave up his position to the two of them, and moved outside, and couldn't bear to disturb the two of them.

Fujiwara Shuxiong quietly poked Zhen Qian, and said in a low voice: "Don't offend the maritime merchants, you have to ask these maritime merchants when you leave Datang this time, otherwise you can only smuggle in!" ”

Zhen Qian glanced at Fujiwara Shuxiong angrily, he had a request for a maritime merchant, but he couldn't sign an alliance with the maritime merchant under the city, and he hadn't gone to the point of exhaustion, so he had to sacrifice his own interests?

At this time, Zhang Tianbao asked the maid to bring a wooden plate and put it in front of Zhen Qian, thinking that Zhang Tianbao was going to bribe himself, but after thinking about it, there was no such possibility, so he saw the maid lift the cloth on the wooden plate, revealing two rows of neatly stacked gold and silver coins, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Zhang Tianbao with tight pupils, I don't know what the intention is.

"The gold and silver coins of Zhen Lang Qian Zhuang will not be unknown!" Zhang Tianbao said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, I sent someone to Luquan County last year, and when I came back, I brought back these gold and silver coins, and found that they were exquisitely made, but it was extremely difficult for my craftsmen to imitate them, and they were very suitable for circulation between the money banks, but unfortunately there were too few such gold and silver coins in my hands, can I exchange some from Zhen Lang?" ”

Zhen Qian is no longer surprised, he is in the light, the maritime business is in the dark, and he has not noticed it after investigating himself for more than half a year, it is really a failure!

"I don't know how many of these gold and silver coins Master Zhang wants to exchange?"

"At least 100,000 pieces, how many are exchanged", Zhang Tianbao said in a bold manner: "Don't hide it from Zhen Lang, the maritime trade volume is huge, it is inconvenient to use copper coins, and it is difficult to carry and circulate such things as gold and silver, not to mention that it takes a lot of energy to screen the fineness of gold and silver, and it is very easy to make mistakes, I see that the gold and silver coins from the Western Regions are not comparable to the exquisiteness of Zhen Lang's production, and it is extremely difficult to imitate counterfeits, so how about exchanging a batch of such gold and silver coins with Zhen Lang?" ”

Zhen Qian will naturally not shirk such a good thing, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, who knows what bad idea Zhang Tianbao is fighting in his heart.

"Is that old man Zhang going to trade in Luquan County, or in Yangzhou!"

"Naturally, it is trading in Yangzhou!"

Zhang Tianbao squinted his eyes, and looked like an amiable grandfather next door, but in Zhen Qian's eyes, he was shocked, this is not a small amount, as soon as the maritime merchant makes a move, it is tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and he does not have such great courage and financial resources, and there is no room for the slightest mistake in the middle.

"I'm afraid it's not! Yangzhou is just a branch of me, 100,000 gold and silver coins were shipped from Luquan County, and Master Zhang will not know the risks! ”

"Then Zhen Lang thinks how to trade properly", Zhang Tianbao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and pointed to a few maritime merchants around him: "Actually, we maritime businessmen want to open a money bank, if Zhen Lang is interested, how about joining a share?" ”

Here it is again, the first time I talked to myself about the new tea making process, the second time I directly discussed with myself to cooperate in opening restaurants in various places, and now I am throwing out the bait of Qianzhuang, what do these maritime businessmen want to do, are they really ready to change careers?

Zhen Qian thought of a sentence in "Capital": Once there is a proper profit, capital will be bold. With a 50% profit, it takes risks; For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With 300% of the profits, it dares to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging its head, trampling on everything in the world.

These maritime businessmen will really be kind, Zhen Qian can't help but be vigilant, if something is abnormal, he will be a demon, although he doesn't know if it's aimed at himself, but at least there is no benefit to himself, the bigger the pie, it means the greater the risk, the lesson given to Zhen Qian in later generations has been painful, how dare to take it lightly.

"If Master Zhang is willing to trade in Luquan County, he can, but if he must trade in Yangzhou, because the amount involved is too large, I am afraid that the capital turnover will not be able to turn over for a while, as for the business of Qianzhuang, I don't want to get involved in Jiangnan now!"
