Chapter 320: Drawing a Flatbread
"Hahaha......"
A loud laugh rang out from the chamber president's office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Many merchants in the Chamber of Commerce cast curious glances in the direction from which the voice came.
This voice was familiar to many merchants, and it was the voice of King Qi, which made them excited.
King Qi rarely came to the Chamber of Commerce, so the president's office was always empty, and only Li Kaiyuan was busy here to deal with everything.
In the office with the name plate of the meeting, Cao Zhengyang looked at Xiao Ming who was laughing incessantly.
He now began to wonder if he would be able to complete the task his father had given him.
"Why is Your Highness laughing?" Cao Zhengyang finally couldn't help it.
Xiao Ming stopped smiling, "This king is laughing because your courage is really big, if the king of Chu knows that you are standing in front of this king now and saying these words, your Cao family will be destroyed in an instant, do you really think that if you are rich in the world, the king of Chu will not dare to touch you?" Wrong! These riches are only temporarily kept by you, and they will eventually fall into the hands of the king of Chu, and this pig will be killed after all. ”
"Your Royal Highness is full of words, but His Royal Highness doesn't think too much about the Cao family, for the Cao family, they will never put eggs in a box, the Cao family's property is all over the world, there will always be a place to take in the Cao family, Dayu can't stay, there is always a place where the Cao family can stay, but the roots of the Cao family are in Dayu after all, if there is a stable place, the Cao family is still willing to stay in Dayu." Cao Zhengyang said loudly.
After a pause, Cao Zhengyang continued: "Your Highness, looking at the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the Cao family will naturally not say this to any prince, this time Cao Mou came to Qingzhou, there is another reason, that is because the Cao family's merchant ship met His Highness's fleet at sea, I don't know if His Royal Highness knows Yue Yun?" ”
"What!" Xiao Ming stood up suddenly, revealing a dangerous aura on his body.
Zhao Long and Zhao Hu felt Xiao Ming's anger, and immediately unsheathed his sword and pointed at Cao Zhengyang, ready to slash Cao Zhengyang in front of him at any time.
"Your Highness is so excited, it seems that Yue Yun is indeed His Highness's person, but it's a pity that the three battleships were beaten into a sieve, I'm afraid Your Highness will lose no less than one million taels this time." Cao Zhengyang said slowly.
Xiao Ming quickly calmed down, Yue Yun had not heard from him for three or four months, he had been very worried, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident in the end.
He asked lightly, "What do you want to say!" ”
Cao Zhengyang had a straight face, saluted Xiao Ming again, and said: "Your Highness, the Cao family's caravan is helping Yue Yun repair the damaged warship, and His Highness will be able to see his fleet in a month at the latest, this is the sincerity of the cooperation between the Cao family and His Highness, I don't know if His Highness is still satisfied." ”
"What do you Cao family want?" Xiao Ming sneered and asked.
"His Royal Highness's fleet has proved His Highness's strength, and this is exactly what the Cao family needs, my father believes that His Royal Highness will give the Cao family a different future, this is what the Cao family wants, of course, if His Royal Highness allows the Cao family to open a money bank in Qingzhou, the Cao family will be more happy." Cao Zhengyang said slowly.
Politics is the exchange of interests, Xiao Ming is no longer Wuxia Ameng, "This is the condition of your Cao family?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, we learned that His Highness has been preparing to build a bank similar to a money village in Qingzhou, but His Highness is now short of silver, and secondly, there are too few people who understand this business, and the progress is also very slow until now, if this matter is handed over to the Cao family, Cao guarantees that within three months, every state and county of His Highness will establish a money bank." Cao Zhengyang said.
Xiao Ming hesitated, this Cao family is really a lion's mouth, this money village is the financial industry of later generations, who does not know the key point of the financial industry in modern times, if it is the indigenous people of the Great Yu Kingdom, they will be fooled by Cao Zhengyang.
But the Cao family was wrong to hit him with the idea, and he finally understood why the Cao family was in such a hurry.
It turned out that the establishment of the bank by himself made the Cao family feel a crisis.
It's just that now Yue Yun and the fleet are in the hands of the Cao family, according to Cao Zhengyang, without their help, Yue Yun would not be able to repair the battleship and rush back.
And now they don't seem to have told the king of Chu about it, they are asking him for a price.
If he didn't have a suitable price, the Cao family might just give up and stop trying to cooperate with him.
Living in modern times, Xiao Ming is very aware of the power of capital, and now the Cao family has obviously gone beyond the scope of ordinary merchants of the Great Yu Kingdom, in his opinion, the current Cao family is looking for a hotbed of capital.
That's why he took the risk to reach out to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ming said: "It is impossible for this king to give up Qingzhou Bank, but this king will not prevent the Cao family money bank from opening a money bank in this king's fiefdom, this is the bottom line of this king." ”
"Your Highness is indeed an extremely shrewd person, His Highness's thoughts are the same as my father's guess, well, we agree." Cao Zhengyang said.
Xiao Ming snorted lightly, this result was a win-win situation for both him and the Cao family.
Originally, Xiao Ming wanted to monopolize the profits of the financial industry, but if he thought about it carefully, this set would not work in this era, if he wanted to develop rapidly, he must borrow the east wind of capital to form his own interest group.
Merchants will only invest their money in themselves if they make a steady stream of profits from him.
It was in this binding of interests that the West East India Company grew stronger.
Therefore, from now on, he will gradually build up the interest groups around him, so that these interest groups will continue to provide him with the capital for the war.
For this reason, he can't be entangled in whose fiefdom these merchants come from, as long as he can provide himself with materials and money, he can use these people.
After all, in the business field, they all use each other and stab each other.
After Cao Zhengyang agreed to his conditions, Xiao Ming changed his words again and put forward a bold plan, he said: "This king has a more profitable business, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
"Your Highness, please?"
"This king is preparing to go north to attack the barbarians and recover the lost land in Youzhou, you may have also heard that Your Majesty has promised this king, and the land laid down belongs to this king, but this king is short of materials and is a little powerless, so recently decided to raise materials from the merchants, according to how much materials are provided, and return the profits from the war in the future, I don't know if your Cao family is interested."
"Profits from future wars? I don't know what this profit refers to. ”
"Land, barbarian livestock, horses, captives, trade routes to barbarians, and so on." Xiao Ming began to draw a big pie, "Think about how much land there will be in such a big place as Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures if it is defeated by this king, once the barbarians are defeated, the barbarian slaves, the barbarian livestock, the pasture, this is a huge amount of wealth, as long as you give money, this king is willing to be this pioneer." ”
Cao Zhengyang was dumbfounded, he thought, this King of Qi is really different.
