Chapter 913 - One Trick Missing
Wu Ruotang smiled slightly. Seeing that Wen Heng seemed to pretend not to care after listening to Zong Weihan's words, he immediately affirmed that this Zong Weihan deliberately attacked Wen Xuan at such a time under Wen Heng's instructions.www.biquge.info Obviously, the Wen brothers' infighting is an open secret of the family, and the mutual struggle has completely surfaced. And this Wei Han obviously belonged to Wen Heng's faction, intending to attack Wen Xuan by establishing a carriage shop.
When Wen Shizhong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Why did Wei Han say this?" Is there anything wrong with setting up a carriage shop at the East Side Pier? ”
Wen Shizhong has an elegant appearance and a clear face, and looks more like a Confucian scholar who reads poetry and books than a wealthy family.
"Go home, as the saying goes, you don't do it well. Our Wen family has always been in the water business, and we don't know anything about land transportation...... Of course, I'm not saying it's bad to open up new industries, but isn't it too risky to rush into industries that we don't know about without adequate preparation? In my opinion, instead of spending a lot of money on land transportation, it is better to open up another route on the tributaries of the Yangtze River, and the benefits will come faster and better. For example, the Huai River, along the Huai River is one of the richest areas in the entire Central Plains, and it is known as "the world's money and grain out of the two Huai". As long as you have a good relationship with the Nangong family in Huaiyin, I believe that the annual profit brought by this route will definitely not be less than 200,000. Zong Weihan stood up and talked eloquently.
Wen Shizhong laughed and said, "What is cooked and not raw?" If I, Wen Shizhong, believed such a statement, I would not have come to Xiangyang from Hanzhong to establish this huge industry, but would honestly stay in Hanzhong to cast ironware. For our Wen family, most of the water transportation of the entire Yangtze River is controlled by our hands, and there is not much room for development, on the contrary, the potential of land transportation is endless. Also, if you want to open up the Huai River route, you must deal with the arrogant and domineering old man of Nangong Cangqiong, who regards money as his life, and the Nangong family also has a fleet to operate the Huai River transportation, and the private salt that is regarded as the pillar of the economy is transported from the Huai River to the northwest inland, how can he give the good fat in his hand to our Wen family for no reason? ”
The Nangong firmament in Wen Shizhong's mouth is the contemporary lord of Huaiyin Nangong. The Nangong family rose more than 100 years ago, and for many generations to sell illicit salt for profit, the salt merchants in Jiangbei all relied on their snorts to spend their days. The sale of illicit salt is extremely lucrative, especially in the salt-deficient areas of the northwest interior, and the profit of a cart of illicit salt is almost equal to that of a cart of silver. Therefore, the wealth of the Nangong family, who controls the salt industry in Jiangbei, is unimaginable.
For Wen Shizhong's strong support, Wen Xuan was naturally full of joy. On the other hand, Wen Heng's face was a little gloomy, and after he glanced at Zong Weihan coldly, he said to Wen Shizhong: "Father, the child once remembered that the establishment of a carriage shop at Dongcheng Wharf had already been suggested, but at that time, my father did not adopt it, saying that although land transportation has a small investment and quick returns, the risk is much greater than that of water transportation. However, I don't know why my father is so persistent this time? ”
Hearing these words, Wu Ruotang's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and at the same time, he was wary of Wen Xuan. It turned out that someone had already thought of the establishment of a carriage shop at Dongcheng Wharf, but he proudly thought that he really had some business talent!
But it's right to think about it, the Wen family has been in business for generations, and their sensitivity to business must be incomparable to that of a layman, so how could they not think of such a simple way to make money as "South Ship and North Horse"?
But...... It is not surprising that he was a business idiot himself, and would naively dedicate the "Northern Malaysia" incident to Wen Xuan as a plot to achieve the goal of breaking into the Wen family. The strange thing is that Wen Xuan actually took the trouble to use this old "trick" to fight against Wen Heng, and made a frame that relied on himself very much. Could it be that there is something hidden in it that I don't know?
Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan, in this way, I can't underestimate you too much. Hopefully, you didn't count me......
Wen Shizhong smiled slightly and said, "Heng'er asked a good question. Why is it that I refused to take the advice back then, but now I am implementing it? That's because the biggest obstacle to the profitability of land transport has now been removed. For a long time, the eight valves of Jiangbei have divided the Central Plains martial arts, and they have quite a dislike for each other, and there is little cooperation, and most of them are hostile. Therefore, if I had hastily developed land transportation in those days, I would not have been able to smoothly transport the goods of merchants to various parts of the north, and I would have been looted by various valve forces on the way, either openly or covertly. In that case, it would be completely unprofitable to set up a carriage deal, and even run at a loss. However, just half a month ago, I suddenly received news from Hanzhong that the two lords of 'Lantao Yaxuan' and 'Zongyi Shancheng' were interested in establishing a long-term iron trading channel with our Wen family, but they were still competing over the price. In this way, as long as we make some concessions on the price of ironware and change to the land transportation channel as a trading condition, then ...... Hahaha! ”
Wen Shizhong seemed to foresee the huge benefits of land transportation, and he was extremely proud in his heart, and even laughed unabashedly.
Wu Ruotang suddenly changed color in Wen Shizhong's laughter, and his face became extremely ugly. Although he knew that Meng Caiyi's side would definitely make some moves, he didn't expect that she would instruct the Immortal Dynasty and the Sword and Sword Shadow Building to use the Wen family's iron trading as bait to lure huge profits...... Old man Wen, old man Wen, the enemy is about to stab you in the ass with a knife, and you are still smiling like a female cat named Chun in a daze, what are you doing with me?
The power of one person is really limited! He was still racking his brains here to break into the Wen family's power, but Meng Caiyi's side was already sitting there and starting to fish. It seems that the road ahead is really not easy!
Wu Ruotang sighed slightly, and a feeling of exhaustion surged in his heart. All along, he has relied on his personal strength to compete with Meng Caiyi, Jing Beiqing and others, and he is lucky that he can escape death with his wisdom every time.
However, this time is different. In the past, it was designed by others, and as long as you can escape, you will win, but this time it is designed to snipe others. Compared with the wealthy and powerful Meng Caiyi, Wu Ruotang, who has no backup support, his personal strength is as small as a grain of dust, so there is no need to start this battle at all, and he will know that Wu Ruotang will definitely lose.
Wu Ruotang's demeanor is different, others may not be able to notice it, but the light moon that is hanging on Wu Ruotang's whole mind will not know. She glanced at Wu Ruotang worriedly, and was about to ask, but was stopped by Wu Ruotang shaking his hand. (To be continued.) )
