Peerless Pirates

"Xiao Lang, why are you back so soon?" Huang Yue and Xu Mingxuan hurriedly rushed into the Song Mansion (Alchemy King of the Other World).

"Young Master, Mingxuan, why are you here?" Song Zheng thought to himself, saying that Cao Cao was about to arrive. As soon as he mentioned Huang Yue, he barged in.

"I made an appointment with the eldest son to go to the guild hall today to wait for you to finish the exam and celebrate your success. Unexpectedly, you came out early and we rushed over from the guild hall." Xu Mingxuan explained with a smile.

"You?" Seeing Xu Mingxuan's smiling face, Song Zheng couldn't help but pointed between him and Huang Yue. He knew the grievances between these two people. Because of Tang Wan's matter, Xu Mingxuan and Huang Yue had a knot in their hearts. Although they cooperated

I started a trading business, but it has never seemed so harmonious as it does today.

Huang Yue chuckled and patted Xu Mingxuan on the shoulder, "Xiao Lang, Mingxuan is going to be the groom's official recently. It is the time when the spring breeze is proud."

"Huh? Mingxuan, you are not very interesting. It is such a big thing and you don't even know how to talk to your brothers. I'm going to prepare some congratulations."

Xu Mingxuan was a little embarrassed, but he still explained it. It turned out that Xu Mingxuan was obsessed with Tang Wan and often visited the nunnery. Tang Wan had been interested in Xu Mingxuan for a long time. As Xu Mingxuan continued to beg, and Xu Mingxuan was in

Money was given to the nunnery, and the abbot of the nunnery also told Tang Wan that his fate in this world was not over, so Tang Wan was quite interested in taking action.

Regarding Tang Wan's incident, Song Zheng once told Huang Yue, and Huang Yue was very angry and said that he would personally invite Tang Wan to come out of the nunnery. However, Xu Mingxuan thought that the time was not yet ripe, so he never let Huang Yue go.

Until ten days ago, when the time was right, Xu Mingxuan invited Huang Yue to the nunnery. Huang Yue apologized in front of Tang Wan. Tang Wan finally nodded and agreed to return to secular life. Xu Mingxuan was overjoyed and took him to his private house. A pair of jade men

, finally came together.

Xu Mingxuan originally wanted to invite Huang Yue, Song Zheng and other brothers to have a drink. However, Song Zheng was busy with the scientific examination, so he postponed the matter until Song Zheng finished the examination.

Song Zheng laughed loudly after hearing this, "Mingxuan, if you say so, it's my brother that I delayed your entry into the bridal chamber. It's my fault."

"That's it (King of the Left)!" Huang Yue interjected, "You must give a big deal this time to make up for Mingxuan's losses."

"No problem! Come on, Mingxuan, let's go have a drink at your house. By the way, Hou Zhonglian is also in Jiangning. Should you call him up?"

Xu Mingxuan shook his head gently, "Let's talk about it later. Today we brothers will talk together. We will invite him to drink after the test results are announced."

Song Zheng and Huang Yue knew that everyone had something to discuss, so they nodded and called Xiaobei, Lu Chun, Shi Cunbao and others, and they all rushed out of Song Mansion.

Xu Mingxuan's private residence is not far from the Qinhuai River. Song Zheng came here for the first time, and couldn't help but look at the courtyard carefully. The courtyard is not big, with two entrances and two exits, a little smaller than the Song Dynasty. Flowers and plants are planted all over the courtyard.

The trees are very quiet.

"Mingxuan, this place is nice. It's secluded and close to the Qinhuai River. When you feel upset, you can swim on the river and enjoy the scenery. It's a quiet place in the busy city, and it's a different world."

"I bought this house in Jiangning back then, and I think it's good. It's only one mile away from the river, and the hustle and bustle on both sides of the river can't be heard here. The key is that it's close to the commercial center and close to Yuhualou and Yuxianglou.

It’s not far away either. On the other side is Jiang Dashan’s house. With their big yard blocking the front, our place is very quiet.”

Song Zheng's heart moved. The Trading House and Yuxiang Building were just that. Jiang Yuan's house was where Jiang Kui, the vice-president of the Imperial City, stayed. He really didn't expect that Xu Mingxuan's house would be close to the Jiang family. This is good news.

.

Tang Wan is a standard Jiangnan woman, with a graceful figure, fair skin, and a faint scar on her face. Perhaps because she stayed in the nunnery for a long time, she has a faint aura of being out of the world.

After some celebrations, Tang Wan took the initiative to leave, leaving the brothers to continue drinking. Song Zheng naturally asked about the Ji family.

"Huh, Ji Yong, that old fox, asked someone to tell me that he wanted to invest in the trading company. I said let them show some sincerity first, and then we can discuss this matter. No, they raised the original supply volume from one-tenth.

One fifth, so stingy." Huang Yue was still very dissatisfied with the Ji family.

Song Zheng said in a deep voice, "This is something strange. It turns out that we have never had the idea of ​​letting major families invest in the trading company in order to reduce resistance, but none of these guys agreed (superpower plane).

Why do you feel sick again when you wake up now?"

"Ji Yong used despicable means to destroy our trading house last time, but failed. This time he changed his approach and tried to control the trading house, but he still had no good intentions."

"Any news from other big families?"

Xu Mingxuan said, "Xu Mingsu also informed me and said he was willing to pay to help us build a branch in Mingzhou. He also said that we are all brothers of the Xu family, who are in the same spirit and want to seek development together. I did not refuse directly, I just said

Let's discuss it with the eldest son. Then, I want to wait until you finish the general examination and let you make an idea."

"Oh, that's what I remembered. Mr. Zhu Youzhan also went to the Song Dynasty and said that he had something to discuss with Xiaolang. Should the Dong family also take action?" Lu Chun replied, "Dabao has been doing this for a while.

At home, I listened to what he said."

"Well, that guy Zhu Youzhan came here and asked me if Shopkeeper Lu from the trading house was a friend of Brother Zheng. But, what is his relationship with the Dong family?"

Lu Chun pulled him aside and briefly introduced to him the relationship between everyone in Jiangnan and senior officials.

"Hey, you are so arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, what kind of tricks are you doing?" Huang Yue patted his head.

Song Zheng sneered and said, "No matter how famous they are, they must become shameless!"

"How to say it?"

Song Zheng lay down on the chair, "I think the reason why they turned around is because, after more than half a year of operation of the trading house, they must have discovered the benefits. It is much simpler than their own distribution, and at the same time they make little money.

Quite a few. Think about it, as soon as they transport things to the trading house and hang up the sign, there will be customers.

The merchants take the initiative to inquire and purchase, and they don't need to worry about the rest. Wouldn't it save them a lot of trouble? Although Ji Yong clearly sees the pros and cons of the trading house, he can't stop these everyone's demands. That's why they came up with it.

A way to get the best of both worlds, to control the trading house (the latest chapter of married life with a big star)."

"That's the truth!" Huang Yue clapped his thigh and said, "Last time they used the Dark Eagle to get a bloody blow in the trading house. The Holy One was so angry that he beheaded Zhang Ergang and others. They didn't dare to do it again directly.

It’s just a small trick, so I’m doing this again. Humph, it’s too late to make money now? I still haven’t taken care of you.”

"No, why don't you want it if you have money delivered to your door?" Song Zheng chuckled and said: "Since we want to build semicolons across the country, we cannot do without the support of these big families. It's just a way, we have to change it

, you can’t follow their methods.”

"Xiao Lang, what do you think we should do?"

"We can subcontract branches from various places and allow them to borrow the name of our trading house, but they must be supervised by our trading house, and we are still the controlling ones."

"Then will they be willing? They took the money and built the semicolon, but they didn't say it themselves. Wouldn't that be a big loss?" Not only Huang Yue, but also Xu Mingxuan, Xiao Bei and Lu Chun found it incredible.

"If you don't want to do it now, it doesn't mean you won't want to do it in the future." Song Zheng snorted coldly.

Lu Chun and Xiao Bei were shocked, looked at each other, and then lowered their heads.

"Xiao Lang, how is your matter going?" Huang Yue asked in a low voice.

"What's the matter? I don't know anything." Song Zheng chuckled, with the corners of his mouth raised, while Xu Mingxuan and Huang Yue felt chills behind their backs.

After a while, Huang Yuecai said, "Xiao Lang, how do you think we should talk about it? Is it like we did last time, call together the managers of these big families and bring it up directly?"

Song Zheng nodded, "Wait for two days and then see what other families are doing. If there are still people who express their intention to invest in the trading company, it will be like last time. The eldest son will come forward and summon the managers of these big families.

Get up. But before that, the eldest son has to do one more thing."

"What's the matter, Xiaolang, tell me."

"We want to open trading houses all over Daqi. There are two difficulties. One is insufficient capital, and the other is limited local power, especially the limited support from local merchants (Rebirth in Another World: Xiaoyaoyou). And these two difficulties are

The advantages of a big family. So what we have to do is try to make up for these two shortcomings."

"How to make up for it?" Everyone looked interested.

"Let's talk about the capital first. We can find a way with the Bao family. The eldest son can discuss it with the prime minister, and then go to your uncle Bao Zhiqing to agree on borrowing 800,000 taels of silver from the commercial bank to prepare for the establishment of branches in various places.

.”

"Isn't that right, Xiaolang? Not to mention that Bao Zhiqing might not talk about it. Even if he talks about it, it would be a big deal. He might directly ask to take over the control of the trading house." Huang Yue hesitated.

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Our purpose is not to ask for the Bao family's consent, but to let the news out."

Huang Yue suddenly realized, "Xiao Lang means that we can use this to put pressure on the major families?"

Song Zheng nodded, "Aren't they bullying us because we don't have the money to open a large-scale branch? Let's talk about borrowing money from the Bao family first and tell them that we can't raise money."

"Xiao Lang's plan is very clever! I will go back to Old Man Bao to discuss this matter."

"Well, these are all superficial matters. I estimate that once you discuss it with the Bao family, the big families will unite and put pressure on the Bao family, and there will be a lot of intrigue behind the scenes. As for us, we are just the eldest son who goes to the Bao family to sing

It’s just singing.”

"Hey, acting is my favorite." Huang Yue was delighted.

"Don't mess up the show." Song Zheng warned, and then said, "Having the Bao family on one end is not enough, we also need to take action to target our second disadvantage."

"Speak quickly, Xiao Lang!" Huang Yue's eyes shone, and Xu Mingxuan, Xiao Bei and others also showed excitement.

"Young Master, with your ability, is it not difficult to find a fifth or sixth grade official in the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"This is not difficult. Let alone the eldest son, I can also find it." Xu Mingxuan interjected.

"Well, you ask him to present a memorial. First, he exaggerates the role of the trading house, and then suggests that the government should come forward to help the trading house establish branches in various places, and even use this as a standard for local officials to inspect."

"Ah? The imperial court will come forward? Is that possible?" Xu Mingxuan said in surprise.

"No, no, this is actually a false shot. Naturally, it is impossible for the imperial court to agree to such a suggestion. However, don't forget that our trading house is an 'imperial building' and has the color of the imperial court. In addition, regarding commerce and trade,

His Majesty is also keeping an eye on various situations in the industry. I think that once this memorial is published, His Majesty will also consider it carefully when approving the reply. Anyway, once this news gets out, what do you think the big families will think?"

"It goes without saying that the local advantages relied on by the big families will definitely be weakened." Shi Cunbao rarely heard clearly.

Huang Yue became even happier, "Xiao Lang, as soon as you came up with these two strategies, our two disadvantages were immediately restored. When the time comes to negotiate with the big family, I'm afraid they won't be as arrogant as last time."

Xu Mingxuan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that I will push them into a hurry and they will set up a trading house, or call it a trading house. Wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

"That's right! It's hard for us to make them anxious." Huang Yue looked at Song Zheng again.

"Then you underestimate our 'Imperial Construction'! Do they dare to just open another trading house to compete with us?" Song Zheng said coldly, "So, their best way is to invest in the trading house

Okay. They may not agree for a while, but within a month, they will obediently accept our conditions! If they don’t want to be uprooted.”

Song Zheng's words were full of murderous intent, but everyone else here felt chills all over.~
