Chapter 160: Clever Calculations 1
And Chu Cailao discussed with his subordinates on Dongshan Island how to deal with this Yu Haiwolf in the past few days after the New Year.
Chu Cailao is about fifty years old, his body is relatively thin, his hair is gray, but he is quite neatly combed, he is dressed luxuriously, with a belt with a mutton fat jade buckle around his waist, and his clothes are inlaid with gold and silver, and he always holds a Pixiu handle of Hetian jade in his hand, and he is pedaling a pair of python boots under his feet, but these clothes can't hide the kind of gangsterism on his body, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a serious rich man, and his whole body is filled with a feeling of nouveau riche.
And in his tent at this time, in addition to Chu Cailao who was sitting at the top, there were also more than a dozen shopkeepers and two people who looked like masters, and these people in the tent were noisy and lively.
"The big shopkeeper, I can only see it below, what can I say about this matter? Since the man surnamed Yu did this, he simply gathered the brothers and went to take the end of Nanri Island in one fell swoop! A shopkeeper said to Chu Cailao, who was lazily half-lying on the soft couch, with a throat below.
There were obviously quite a few people in the tent who agreed with him, and some people immediately helped him and expressed their support, and these people were basically radicals, who were more angry, preferred to use force, and had a short temper.
But some people shook their heads and said it was inappropriate.
"It's not right, it's not right! Although this surname Yu acts like this, it is really not authentic! It's time to punish it, but we don't know much about its situation now, and we don't know how many ships and manpower the sea wolf has!
If you act rashly, you may still suffer if you don't do well, and if you gather everyone at once, the food that thousands of people will consume every day is not a small number.
It's just over the New Year, and we don't have a lot of food, in case we don't attack Nanri Island, we're most afraid of delaying, and once we don't have enough food, I'm afraid there will be chaos!
So according to what you can see below, it is better to send someone to find the one surnamed Yu first, let him give us an explanation, and send someone to find out the strength of the sea wolf first, find out how their old bottom is, and then decide how to do it when the time comes! ”
A shopkeeper shook his head and said on the side, his words were also supported by some people, and this group of people is more stable, and they will consider how much they do things.
Chu Cailao squinted his eyes and coiled the Pixiu handle of Hetian Yu with his hand, never saying a word, listening to his subordinates arguing below.
It's not that he, the big shopkeeper, has no opinions, this is precisely Chu Cai's old scheming, as a big boss who has been rampant on the sea for so many years, controlling dozens of shopkeepers of all sizes, and it is naturally impossible to do without any means.
Chu Cailao has long found out for so many years that the head of the house can't be in a hurry to reveal what he is thinking, and more often than not, he has to behave more inscrutablely, so that his subordinates can't guess what he is thinking, so that it seems that he has a city government, and his subordinates respect him more.
In the past two days, the people below have actually said it, but Chu Cailao has never expressed his position, but he is silently thinking in his heart, letting the people below be anxious.
After listening to the quarrel of his subordinates, Chu Cailao opened his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't fight, let's talk about it here today, you go down!" ”
The shopkeepers of his subordinates still didn't make a formal statement, and they couldn't guess what his idea was, so he could only get up and retreat with his fists in frustration.
When these shopkeepers all left their tents and returned to their own stations, Chu Cailao sat up straight, his eyes flashing coldly, revealing his shrewdness.
"Humph! A bunch of idiots! Do they think these things can't be thought of? Chu Cailao picked up a glass of wine from a delicate mahogany table on the side, drank it with his neck tilted, stretched his waist vigorously, put down the wine glass and stood up.
At this time, a slightly fat middle-aged man said on the side: "Presumably, the big boss must have a fixed number!" ”
Chu Cai slowly paced back and forth in the big tent, nodded and said, "Of course!" In fact, some of them said that it was right, although this Yu Haiwolf should clean up well, but it is obviously not the best policy to go away so rashly!
I've heard of this Yu Haiwolf, but I didn't pay much attention to him before, before that, I only knew that this person rose quickly, Fuzhou was Zhang Hu's territory before, Zhang Hu had no ambitions, and he should have been unlucky!
Originally, that Zhang Hu was quite respectful to me, and I didn't look down on his territory, so over the years, I didn't have much contact with that side!
I only heard last year that this Zhang Hu was suddenly killed, and such a person surnamed Yu came out to occupy Nanri Island and become the new boss in Fuzhou!
Later, you should still remember that I sent someone to inquire about this matter, only to learn that it turned out that several old brothers under Zhang Hu betrayed Zhang Hu, and the surname Yu was in harmony with each other, so Zhang Hu was put to death.
But I never understood why these old brothers of Zhang Hu chose such a little-known figure to serve and did not hesitate to give up one of Zhang Hu's huge family businesses to this surnamed Yu.
Later, because this matter was none of my business, I didn't inquire too much, but half a year ago, I heard that this surnamed Yu actually won Zhang Hu's old opponent back then, Chen Jiu, the mixed river dragon who was mixed in the Funing area, in one fell swoop, and I couldn't help but be a little curious!
So I sent someone to inquire again, only to learn that Lu Dao, surnamed Yu, is really a powerful character, he actually didn't go to the sea for a long time, he used to be just a small unit with more than 20 subordinates, occupying an inconspicuous island, but in just over half a year, it rose in Fuzhou and became the largest force except for Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu and his brothers turned against each other, forcing his brothers to find another way, so he hung up this surnamed Yu, surnamed Yu united with other small groups of peers in Fuzhou, first lured Zhang Hu out of the nest, he personally led people to fight to the death at sea, but secretly sent a brother who betrayed Zhang Hu to copy Zhang Hu's back road!
When Zhang Hu returned to Dazhai after defeat, he learned that the nest had been copied, and he vomited blood on the spot, so that his subordinates were all captured by this surnamed Yu.
And Chen Jiu has always coveted the territory in Fuzhou, and he has had many dirty encounters with Zhang Hu before, and after the head of the family surnamed Yu, he began to fight Chen Jiu's idea.
Half a year ago, he lured Chen Jiu to the south, and used the old method again, first luring Chen Jiu to fight, and then personally led his subordinates to dig out Chen Jiu's old camp, and then waved his division to block Chen Jiu, who hurriedly ran back, and beat Chen Jiu's fleet to pieces in one fell swoop, and later forced a few small shares of Chen Jiu's gang to turn against Chen Jiu, helping them catch Chen Jiu and force Chen Jiu to death.
It took less than two years for this surname to take all the territory in Fuzhou and Funing, so this person is not as simple as you think.
If we want to deal with this surnamed Yu, we have to be a little more careful, don't be careless for a while, but follow his way, then we will laugh and be generous! I'm afraid there will be nowhere to put my old face! ”
After listening to Chu Cailao's words, the slightly chubby middle-aged man nodded and said, "The big boss is really thoughtful!" Admire under it!
It is said that this person is not very old, he is only in his twenties, and he is so scheming, in less than two years, he has actually purchased such a big family business, which is really surprising!
Moreover, according to the rumors of the merchants and fishermen in Fuzhou, this person acted very differently from us, and after this man became the master, he changed the practice of his subordinates in the past, and restrained his subordinates very strictly, rarely raided the coastal areas, and vigorously cleared the small groups of peers on his territory, and was also kind to the people around the territory.
Where is there a little bit of doing our business, but it's quite chivalrous! It is indeed an anomaly, and many fishermen along the coast of Fuzhou call him Yu Dashanren! Hehe! It's funny!
It is said that this man was so good at camping that he did not allow his men to plunder the passing ships on his territory, but blocked the waterways, and began to collect money, and it is said that all merchant ships that passed through his territory paid him a large sum of money every year, and whoever paid this toll made sure that their ships were unhindered on his territory, and even provided protection for these merchant ships.
forced some of his peers to find another way, and some simply took his men to join him.
Moreover, this person also attracted a lot of merchants on his Nanri Island, and attracted many merchants to build a trading inn on Nanri Island, and he was responsible for providing protection for the merchants, who could do business on his Nanri Island with confidence, and he took a cut of the so-called commercial tax, and made a lot of money.
In addition, it is said that this person also has a lot of ships in his hands, and there is a special fleet for him to run the sea, to and from Guangzhou, Macao, Manila and Nanyang, to trade with local merchants, and even to do business with the Franco.
This accident, in fact, it was because a few of our shopkeepers were unruly, robbed his merchant ships, and killed some of his subordinates, so that this guy came up with this trick to deal with us!
It can be seen that this person is not good at his generation, and he will be repaid when he encounters this kind of thing! ”
"Oh? It seems that Ma Xiang, you have also done a lot of homework on this surnamed Yu! I heard so much news! That's right, but this guy is quite good at drilling camps and making money! I really admire him for that! I was able to come up with the trick of collecting tolls! Hum!
This is a lot of trouble, you don't have to let the brothers play with their lives, and you can make a lot of money, I really don't know what this guy thinks! If this method can be done, we might as well learn from him, and take advantage of the coastal waterways, and also reap the benefits of the fishermen. Chu Cailao was interested at this time, and turned to the slightly chubby subordinate and said.
This Ma Xiang is Chu Cailao's confidant, because he is good at managing things, is coarse in writing and ink, and can also point the means of financial management, so he was appointed by Chu Cailao as his old camp manager, in fact, it is also equivalent to his logistics minister, and half of the strategist.
After listening to Chu Cailao's words, this Ma Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although this surnamed Yu has a good way of collecting money to buy roads, I'm afraid we are not suitable!" ”
(Two more arrived!) Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward! If you really don't have it, you can give a few red tickets! Hehe! )
