Lai Ye is an old man, not the kind of hairy boy who comes up and does it, and he will never make a move easily before he understands the details of the other party.

Liu Han smiled slightly: "What, this doesn't have much silver, so I'm in a hurry?"

Lai Ye also smiled: "Friend, don't tell lies with a clear eye, it's not this way to play normally, but if you say that your friend is here to stir up trouble, you can't see it, when your friend first entered the door, he said that he wanted to find Ji Ye, let's be honest, Ji Ye usually doesn't come to us." ”

Liu Han frowned slightly, this situation was a little unexpected to him, and after a little thought, he said, "Then where is Ji Ye now?"

Lai Ye shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"I can wait. Liu Han's expression was still calm, just after being rejected by the man in black, he decided to deal with this matter in a high-profile way, Jin Liang's agreement with the Huaiyang Society was very unfavorable to them, he must first show his strength, let the Huaiyang Association be honest and act according to the rules of business.

Lai Ye's expression is more cautious, you can wait, not just a simple sentence, the potential meaning is, I am not afraid of you looking for someone, no matter who you find, I can deal with it.

"What else do you want to call Your Excellency?" Lai Ye asked.

"You just say Wu Xiong, Sanyou Yanhao, Wu Xiong. Liu Han replied in a good time.

Lai Ye frowned slightly, Sanyou Salt, I haven't heard of it, is this person a salt merchant?

"Someone!" Lai Ye shouted outside the house, and the two big men immediately entered the house, and Lai Ye ordered: "Serve tea!"

The two big men were stunned, and Lai Ye ordered again: "What are you doing in a daze!"

The two big men hurriedly went out, and Liu Han nodded slightly: "Not bad! Not humble or arrogant, there is a talent like you in the Huaiyang Club, not bad!"

Lai Ye couldn't figure it out even more, and said reluctantly: "Brother Tai is falsely praised, but he is just a nobody, but the president will teach that Huaiyang will never bully others." ”

"Okay!" Liu Han nodded: "Good one doesn't bully people! I'll wait here, please inform Ji Ye as soon as possible." ”

The big man in black came in with tea and put it in front of Liu Han, Liu Han picked it up casually, gently stirred the lid of the cup, and took a sip as if nothing happened.

Lai Ye came out with someone, and the man in black was very puzzled: "Lai Ye, just let him be here?"

Lai Ye glared at him, and ordered impatiently: "Send a message to Ji Ye immediately and ask him to come over quickly." ”

When a big man in black heard this, he left immediately, and the other big man in black was still puzzled, so Lai Ye sighed: "I'm afraid this person is not so easy to deal with, report to the top." ”

Liu Han sat leisurely in the private room, but every move outside did not hide from his ears, including the conversation between Lai Ye and the man in black, all of which fell on his ears word for word.

He wasn't worried about Huaiyang's actions at all, on the contrary, he wanted to see what they would do, at least this Lai Ye's response was quite appreciative of him.

The casino quickly returned to calm, and it became even more noisy below, and after a while, there were footsteps outside, and the private room next door was opened, and a few people went in, and soon the dealer came in to gamble, and it was obvious that they were betting on pai gow, and the whole table was in an uproar, three days and nine or something, and the shouting was non-stop.

"Prince, I heard that your coarse salt was sold to Sanyou Salt?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"How's the price?"

"It's okay, it's just some coarse salt, final salt, the price is relatively cheap, seven taels. ”

"Seven taels !!" The third voice appeared, this voice was a little rough, and it was grinning: "Prince, this is inevitably a little lower." ”

"It's not low," the prince said slowly: "Tiger head, the regular sale is only nine taels, but you still have to pay the porter, as well as the boat fare, calculated down, the cost should also increase a little, calculated, it will be half a tael cheaper, at most eight yuan." ”

"You shipped it at the salt farm, and that's pretty much it. Said in a gruff voice.

"Bench," the voice cried out earlier, "what are these three friends doing with coarse salt?"

"Who knows. The prince said casually, and the rough man shouted in surprise: "Human cards!

"Good luck kid!"

Everyone laughed and paid the money, and there was a shuffling sound, and the fourth voice appeared, this was actually a woman.

"Sanyou Salt, I know a little, his salt number is not far from my shop, the prince doesn't say, I don't know yet, this Sanyou Salt has never sold coarse salt, it's all refined salt. You say, "Do they have a way to turn coarse salt into refined salt?" ”

"Coarse salt becomes refined salt? hehe, the loss is more than seventy percent, and it can't be completely refined salt, the color is the most good... , Unlucky, hey, why is my luck so bad, I don't open my beard. ”

"If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't," said the woman, "they never sell coarse salt, but all first-class refined salt, and the price difference between this coarse salt and refined salt is twelve times, even if the cost is excluded, there is a difference of seven or eight times." ”

"Really!" said the Maharaja's voice with a bit of surprise.

"It's a fake!" cried out the gruff.

"No way, there's such a craft!" cried the second voice.

Liu Han listened, his brows furrowed slightly, it seems that Jin Liang's move to buy coarse salt has aroused the vigilance of some people, and Jin Liang has to be reminded to pay attention.

Just listening, the door opened, Lai Ye was in front, and a chubby middle-aged man came in the back, and a thin middle-aged man appeared behind the middle-aged man, this thin middle-aged man's eyes were gentle and bright, his steps were very light, and he obviously had a deep cultivation.

"You are Brother Wu Xiong of the Sanyou Salt. The fat man in front smiled and hugged his fists, and Liu Han hugged his fists in return: "It's brother, you are..."

"In Xia Ji Ning," Ji Ning's fat face smiled into a flower: "Brother, just spread a word if there is anything, I will go to see you on the Sanyou Salt Number." ”

"How dare you work Brother Ji, naturally you should let me come to see you," Liu Han smiled and hugged his fists, raising his eyes to look at the thin middle-aged man: "Who is this brother?"

"Oh. Ji Ning stepped out of the way, revealing the thin middle-aged man, and introduced: "This is Zheng Yao, the vice president of my Huaiyang Association." ”

Zheng Yao didn't hug his fists and salute, but looked at Liu Han presumptuously, and laughed dryly: "Brother Wu, the real person doesn't show his face, dare to win sixteen in a row in my silver shop, and win me tens of thousands of taels of silver, I came to meet you, a master!"

Zheng Yao said that he came over, sat on the side with a big grin, and then said, "You say, you say, don't worry about me." ”

Ji Ning said with a smile: "The vice president has a bold personality, Brother Wu, don't be surprised, please sit, please sit." ”

"Brother Wu is a master and well-informed, how can he worry about a rough man like me, Lao Ji, you are too careful. ”

Ji Ning was a little embarrassed, and Liu Han smiled: "President Zheng is a bold man in the rivers and lakes, Brother Ji, please take a seat." ”

Ji Ning smiled and sat down, Liu Han sat opposite him, took out his agreement with Jin Liang, and put it in front of him: "I came to Brother Ji today for this contract, Brother Jin handed me this contract to read, I feel that this contract has loopholes, so I hope to re-sign a contract." ”

Ji Ning picked up the contract and looked at it, put it down and asked with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Wu thinks there is a loophole?"

"Time limit. Liu Han said: "There is a lack of time limit on it. ”

Ji Ning was slightly stunned, picked up the contract again, looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "I think we can cooperate for a long time." ”

Liu Han shook his head: "First, your interest rate is too high, and second, your bid to buy salt is too low, and this contract is unfair." ”

"A mouthful of spit and a mouthful of nails," Zheng Yao interjected: "I said shopkeeper Wu, don't be embarrassed." ”

Liu Han smiled faintly, turned his head to look at him, Zheng Yao glared at him, Liu Han sighed softly: "The mall pays attention to fairness and credibility, and this contract understands that it is unfair, so I discussed with Brother Jin and hoped to re-sign the contract with Brother Ji." ”

Ji Ning thought about it and before he could speak, Zheng Yao shouted: "If you say resign, resign!"

Liu Han frowned: "I heard that your association is smuggling salt and underwriting our salt, which is different from what your association has always done." ”

Ji Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Master Gu implemented the salt policy reform, all salt is tax-free, we have no way to live, we have to change the way, we also have a salt number, there are not many salt fields to buy, and it is completely impossible to feed the brothers in the association, so we decided to buy some salt and make a difference." ”

Liu Han understood as soon as he heard it, this is the collateral result of Gu Wei's salt policy innovation, the salt tax will be gone at once, so what kind of smuggling salt is there, but this smuggling has already formed an industry, and the number of employees is probably as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Gu Wei's salt policy reform broke the jobs of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and the private salt had no profits, so they were forced to transform, so Huaiyang would focus on selling salt, which was their old business, but to sell salt, there must be salt, and there must be a market, so they want to get cheap salt.

Sanyou Salt is a new salt number, they don't dare to touch the old salt number, and behind those old salt numbers are the gate valve clan, so they are eyeing the new salt number like Sanyou.

Knowing this, he didn't want to do business with Huaiyang.

"I understand, but if you want to do business, you have to follow the way of doing business, otherwise, your club should follow the way of business, otherwise it is better to open a casino. ”

"What are we going to do, is it your turn to speak!" Zheng Yao interjected again.

Liu Han turned his head and stared at him, Zheng Yao's eyes widened, looking at him fiercely, Liu Han sighed softly: "If your guild adopts such a method, I'm afraid no one will want to do business with your guild." ”

"Dare to love this Yangzhou City, as if you have the final say. Zheng Yao sneered: "Anyway, we signed a contract, and your salt is ours." ”

"You're not alone. Liu Han said lightly: "We can provide you with salt for three months, and after three months, we will come again." ”

Zheng Yao laughed dryly, stood up, strode in front of Liu Han, propped his hands on the table, looked down at Liu Han and said, "I have the final say here, I must do it according to this contract." ”

Liu Han ignored him and looked at Ji Ning, who waved his hand: "We have reached a contract, we should do it according to the contract, you say yes." ”

Liu Han smiled and got up and said, "When you get to Yinfang, how can you do it if you don't gamble, or else, let's gamble." ”

Zheng Yao looked at him and asked, "How to bet?"

"It's bigger than the size. Liu Han said and patted it lightly on the table, and the pai gow on the table soared into the air, flying all the way to the roof, and then fell, hitting each other in mid-air, making a clanging sound, Liu Han reached out and caught the two pieces.

"Supreme Treasure. Liu Han slapped his hand on the table, and then the cards that flew in the air fell one after another, and there was a jingle on the table.

Liu Han made a move with one hand, and the cards that fell everywhere were like magic, all in front of him, and he quickly shuffled the cards with both hands, and then retreated to Zheng Yao.

Zheng Yao was stupid, Ji Ning didn't cultivate, and he didn't know the mystery of this hand.

Shoot cards to the sky, this is very simple, can manipulate pai gow in the air to collide with each other, he can't do it if he asks himself, not to mention let the supreme treasure fall in his hand.

This is a comprehensive embodiment of memory skills.

He asked himself if he couldn't do it.

looked at Liu Han in a daze, and Liu Han also looked at him calmly.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is a master. Zheng Yao said, Liu Han didn't speak, Zheng Yao sneered: "This is just a little trick." ”

Liu Han asked casually, "Then what is President Zheng going to do?"

Zheng Yao sneered, took a step forward, raised his hand is a palm, the palm wind passed, empty, the internal breath surged, the dantian shook greatly, he couldn't help but snort, his body couldn't help shaking, but when he looked at it again, Liu Han was still standing in place as if he was nothing.

Zheng Yao couldn't help but feel cold, and immediately sobered up, the person in front of him was by no means an ordinary salt merchant, he was definitely a master.

Zheng Yao stared at Liu Han with a solemn expression, and was about to speak, when Ji Ning interjected on the side: "Brother Wu, Vice President Zheng is a bold man and a little reckless, please forgive Brother Wu." ”

Ji Ning didn't cultivate, it didn't mean that he didn't have eyesight, Zheng Yao and Liu Han's performances fell in his eyes, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, Zheng Yao was also a master in Huainan, it was said that he was only one step away from the grandmaster, but it was obviously not an opponent, this Wu Xiong could not be a grandmaster cultivator! If this competition continues, he will inevitably suffer, so he hurriedly interjected.

"Understand, I have seen a lot of men like Brother Zheng, bold and straightforward, and I like to make friends with such men. Liu Han said: "However, the mall belongs to the mall, Brother Ji, this contract must be renegotiated." ”

"According to Brother Wu's meaning, how to modify it?" Ji Ning's meaning was a little loose, and he asked tentatively.

"Add time, within three months, our salt can be sold to your guild at this price, but, after three months, we will go to the market, in addition, we must also set the payment method, this is not above, and at the same time, I must tell you that I have reached an agreement with the treasurer of Tonghui Bank, and if I need silver in the future, I will borrow from them, and their monthly interest is eight percent. ”

Ji Ning was stunned, and sighed after a while: "Brother Wu is really good at business, let's discuss it again." ”

Liu Han shook his head: "We are in business, we want to make money safely, and the last thing we want is to get into trouble, to be honest, the stronger your guild is, the farther away those merchants may hide." ”

Ji Ning smiled bitterly when he heard this, Zheng Yao seemed to have recovered from the shock, and still looked at Liu Leng with an unconvinced smile: "Our Huaiyang Club will never force others, and doing business is also your and my willing." ”

This is true, Liu Han has been in Yangzhou for a few months, but he has not heard of any bad deeds in Huaiyang, on the contrary, he is very low-key, except for private salt, there is no bullying and domination. As for the officialdom, when did those officials and gate lords have a better opinion of the Jianghu people.

Liu Han smiled at Zheng Yao and patiently explained: "Indeed, I haven't heard of any evil deeds in Yangzhou, but your association's past behavior is to compete for power, so ......" ”

Liu Han spread his hands, the meaning was very clear, Ji Ning suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder these days are running around, those salt merchants talk well, and even invite guests to eat and drink, but the business matters are not relaxed at all, it turns out that the joints are here.

"Speaking of which, I am also half a Jianghu person, and I know the difficulties. Liu Han sighed, of course he knew the difficulties, but as long as the profits were large enough, businessmen could also take risks.

"The surname is Wu, it's not your turn to teach Lao Tzu...."

"Second child!" A middle-aged man came in from outside the door, and scolded Zheng Yao sharply, Zheng Yao didn't look back, and immediately flashed to the side when he heard the words, Liu Han looked up at him, this middle-aged man was not tall, his hair was tied in a bun casually, wrapped in cloth, his eyes were peaceful, and he had a handful of goatee on his chin, which looked no different from the middle-aged man on the street.

"Big brother!" Zheng Yao shouted, and Ji Ning also shouted respectfully on the side: "President." ”

"Be polite to Mr. Wu. The middle-aged man tepidly commanded, Zheng Yao did not say anything, and his disbelief was undisguised.

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man hugged his fist at Liu Han: "Brother Wu, in Xia Yishu, all the brothers pushed me as the leader, I heard that Brother Wu had a little misunderstanding with us, so I specially came to explain." ”

"President Yi is serious," Liu Han clasped his fists and replied with a smile: "It's just a little thing, it doesn't alarm the president, forgive the sin, forgive the sin." ”

"There, there, please sit!" Yi Shu made a gesture very happily for Liu Han to sit down.

Liu Han sat down, looked up at Yi Shu, and was very surprised in his heart, how could such a trivial matter alarm the leader of the Huaiyang Society? What was the purpose of his sudden appearance in front of him?
